Baijie Hall.
You Xu was discussing matters with several lieutenants.
One of the lieutenants suddenly said, "Lieutenant You, you just assigned the Tongjifang case to Jiang Zhou, right?"
You Xu smiled, "Why, do you have other opinions?"
"That's not the case."
The lieutenant shook his head and said, "I have long disliked this Jiang Zhou. He is just a lowly refugee. He is lucky to be able to work in my Sujing Division."
"Now that we are embarrassed by the incident of the Yanshan Goddess, he has made a contribution?"
He said disdainfully, and then showed some worry: "But he was appointed by the general himself. If something happens, won't it be difficult for us to explain?"
Another person said, "Not only that, I heard some rumors that this Jiang Zhou seems to have a big background and is not a Momo, but from a certain fairy gate, this is the reason for General Li to mention him. "Someone laughed:" Impossible, you also said it was a rumor. If he was really a Immortal disciple, he wanted to enter the Sujing Si. You Xu interrupted their controversy: "Okay, Su Yao Jingping is the responsibility of my Su Jing Division, and the monster guards and monsters investigate the case. This is also the post. This captain is just acting as usual." "What do you say so? It is because they can't think of some possibilities. On the contrary, they are all old officials who have been rolling in the oil for many years. Some of them know more about whether the Jiangzhou is more clear than those of the high -oriented adults. Let's say that he really has Li Xuance as his backer, and several people have thought about the consequences.
It is true that Li Xuance is the number one person in Nanzhou Sujingsi, but Sujingsi is not his Sujingsi alone.
The Sujingsi in charge of such an important place as Nanzhou is not in a high position, but has great power and is very deadly.
Many people are waiting for him to make a mistake so that they can kick him down.
Do you really think that you can do whatever you want in Daji if you have strength?
You are powerful, but there are many people who are more powerful than you.
…
In a family in Wujun.
Jiang Zhou is wearing a black uniform of the patrol demon guard, and opposite him is a young woman in white mourning.
This is the Mrs. Wu who endured the humiliation of the crazy beggar to save her husband.
Her husband Wu Shusheng died in exactly the same way as Yi Sanliu.
It is most likely the same murderer.
This is why he appeared here.
"Madam Wu, so your husband might have been killed by that concubine?"
"It must have been that bitch!" Madam Wu gnashed her teeth in hatred.
Madam Wu was quite pretty. At this moment, she was dressed in white mourning clothes, with tears on her face, like a pear blossom in the rain, and she looked quite pitiful.
However, Jiang Zhou was like a piece of wood and could not appreciate this beauty.
He did not comment on her anger: "You said that your husband has not seen that concubine since the accident?"
"Yes, if not, how could she suddenly disappear at this time? She must have harmed my late husband and fled!"
Madam Wu said bitterly: "My late husband felt sorry for her at the beginning, so he took her home and doted on her in every way, but she would never respond to any request she made."
"I didn't expect her to be so cruel!"
Jiang Zhou had heard her say this before.
Scholar Wu met that concubine on the outskirts of the city on his way back to the city after an outing.
According to Madam Wu, the woman was lying in the middle of the road with her hair disheveled and her clothes in disarray. The woman was extremely beautiful, and Wu Shusheng rescued her and took her home, not knowing whether he felt pity or something else.
When the woman woke up, she said that she had been robbed, and her whole family had been killed, but she was the only one who escaped.
Jiang Zhou believed this bloody routine with many loopholes, and he had no other explanation except that Wu Shusheng was blinded by lust.
Then what happened was logical.
The woman became Wu Shusheng's concubine to repay his life-saving grace.
But the person was already dead, so Jiang Zhou couldn't despise him.
He then asked, "Mrs. Wu, as far as I know, your husband once met a master who gave him advice, but he didn't believe it at first, and then he went out to seek help from that master. Why is that?"
Mr. Wu said, "You don't know, sir. Before my husband was killed, an evil ghost climbed over the wall and entered. My husband sent his servants to chase it, but it disappeared."
"Now that I think about it, the evil ghost is obviously that bitch! The evil ghost fled to that bitch's yard and suddenly disappeared."
"Also, the broken shoes that the master gave to my husband... a magic weapon, when it was hung, the family was peaceful, but that little bitch took it down desperately, and my husband was killed that night. Isn't this obvious?"
Mrs. Wu cried, "Sir, you must make a decision for us!"
"Don't worry, Madam Wu, I will definitely find out the truth and give your husband justice."
After Jiang Zhou finished speaking, he asked a few more questions and said goodbye.
Standing in front of the Wu family's door, he looked back.
A bloody plot of meeting a beauty in distress and promising to marry her;
An evil ghost climbed over the wall and entered the house, and disappeared into the concubine's yard;
Scholar Wu got a broken shoe, and the concubine insisted on taking it off;
Then Scholar Wu died tragically.
These points are enough to confirm that the murderer must be related to the concubine.
Even, the concubine is the murderer.
Reality is not a TV series, there are not so many incredible accidents and ups and downs.
Jiang Zhou unfolded a scroll in his hand.
This is the portrait of the concubine given to him by Mrs. Wu.
Fortunately, this portrait is not as abstract as the one in the TV series I watched before. If you take it out and find someone, you can find eight out of ten.
The painting is lifelike, like a photo.
Coincidentally, Scholar Wu is a student of Bailu Academy, and he happens to be very good at painting.
The popular painting style of Daji is not quite the same as the Chinese painting he remembers, which pursues artistic conception, spirit, or the painting style between form and spirit.
On the contrary, he advocates neatness and pursues resemblance.
Scholar Wu has a deep attainment in this field.
With this painting, as long as the person is in Wu County, it is still possible to find him.
The only thing to worry about is that this person does not exist.
Jiang Zhou is very sure that this murderer is the same "person" as the demon in the Tongjifang case that Su Jingsi has been investigating.
If it is so easy to find, why would it drag on until now?
First of all, Wu County has a population of over a million, and although Daji has a strict household registration system, it is difficult to completely control it.
Secondly, it is a demon, and no one knows what strange abilities the other party has.
At this point, no matter whether it can be found or not, it must be found first.
Jiang Zhou put away the scroll and left Wu Mansion.
After walking a few steps, he saw that the street in front was occupied by a crowded crowd for most of the time, and it was necessary to squeeze to get through.
In a blink of an eye, it turned out that there was a rice shop.
These people were all here to buy rice.
A waiter was holding a sign and hung it in front of the door: Today's rice is sold out.
Complaints were heard everywhere, and people were cursing, but they could only slowly disperse.
Jiang Zhou saw the crowd disperse and continued to move forward.
Nanzhou is known as the land of fish and rice in Daji, and Wujun is the best place in Nanzhou.
Rice is the most valuable but also the least valuable thing.
For the refugees outside, it can save lives.
For the people in Wujun City, it is nothing.
Usually, it should be rare to see such a scene of rushing to buy rice.
But Jiang Zhou seems to have seen it several times recently.
Perhaps it is because more than a month ago, the goddess of Yanshan flooded the fertile fields outside the city for hundreds of miles.
Thanks to his Taiyi Wuyanluo, and the fact that Wujun seemed to have planned it in advance, it did not suffer an unbearable impact.
But the impact is still very bad.
It is said that not long ago, at the headquarters of the Sujing Division of Yujing Divine Capital, a third-rank Sujing general personally brought one of the three treasures of the Sujing Division, the demon-binding lock, to Yunmeng Lake and locked the Yanshan Goddess back to Yujing Divine Capital and pressed her under the demon-suppressing tower.
At that time, Jiang Zhou was still amazed for a long time.
The Yanshan Goddess can control the three thousand miles of Yunmeng water. With this ability alone, she is like a human-shaped nuclear bomb, ready to wipe you out at any time.
That night, he could never forget the devastating scene over Wujun.
Such a person was actually beaten at home and locked away easily.
And the Jinghe Dragon King, who was said to be the man of the goddess and even more powerful, didn't even fart.
The water in Daji is really far more unfathomable than he imagined.
Not only the Yanshan Goddess, but now the Sujing Divisions in various parts of Daji are attacking from all sides, and the number of demons killed every day is multiple or even more than before.
But Jiang Zhou didn't see the demons getting less, but more.
Take Wujun City for example. According to the demon patrol guards in the department, although there were demons that harmed people in the past, at least few dared to do evil in the county city.
Now, whether it is the knife bearers or the demon patrol guards, a small part of the tasks they received are in the county city.
The other half are in the counties and villages under the jurisdiction of Wujun.
It's as if the demons were stimulated and attacked human territory one after another.
"Hey, isn't this Jiang Zhou? No, isn't it Master Jiang?"
Jiang Zhou came to the office of the Ministry of Justice, and the constable standing guard at the door joked when he saw him.
