Genesis Lord

In the early morning of the next day, the entire Luoshui City became chaotic, and Xizhou officers and soldiers wearing official armor could be seen in different streets and alleys.Although the officers and soldiers acted roughly and violently, they were still orderly. Almost every street corner and every direction formed a team of three, holding portraits in their hands, and asking people whenever they asked.All of a sudden, many people were panicked, and the common people hid in their homes, not daring to show their faces again.Judging from the behavior of the officers and soldiers and the attitude of the people who are afraid to avoid them, it is not a day or two that the officers and soldiers of Xizhou are acting violently.

As the people fled the streets as if they had taken refuge, only officers and soldiers in official armor and commanding officials remained in the main streets and alleys of the city; seeing that no good news came from the search for a long time, one of the high The face of the senior officer was very ugly. He jumped off the fierce horse and opened his mouth to shout: "Give me a careful search, a few women with no cultivation level can't escape the city in one night! Anyone who captures the women in the portrait , life or death, one green coin per head!"

All the officers and soldiers were full of energy after hearing the reward, and their eyes were bloodshot, like hungry beasts, and they kept coming in and out of the surrounding residential buildings, their behavior and actions were a little more rough than before. Primal brutality.

Standing beside the silver armored officer, a middle-aged man in a blue official robe and with a mustache ordered solemnly to the silver armored officer: "Go and post a reward, these three women must be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible. You want to see people if you live, and you want to see corpses when you die." The silver-armored officer nodded heavily, "What did these women... have committed?"

"Is this what you, the commander of the city guard, should ask?" The middle-aged man with a mustache shot a sharp look in his eyes, and sneered disdainfully, "Bao Lecheng, you just need to understand your own affairs, and don't just open your mouth and grin. As long as you catch the woman in the portrait, it is best to kill it immediately. As long as you can take out these three heads, I promise you to upgrade to three levels!"

Bao Lecheng, who was wearing silver armor, didn't show any excitement when he heard the words, but nodded calmly, "I understand." Seeing Bao Lecheng's lukewarm attitude, the middle-aged man with a mustache said, He was not angry, but shook his head and said with a sneer: "These little girls have no way out this time. It's really a pity."

"Master Liu, what happened here? Why did you make such a big commotion?" Suddenly, a questioning voice came from behind the two of them, and Master Liu immediately turned his head and saw a A handsome young man in blue silk was looking at him suspiciously.Mr. Liu saw the person coming, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "It must be these vulgar soldiers who disturbed Mr. Jiang's peace. But yesterday, a serious case happened in Luoshui City, which had to be dealt with urgently. Please don't blame Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Han, who was dressed in blue, waved his hand to show that it was okay, and asked with a relaxed expression, "I don't know what serious case happened. I am patrolling Xizhou on behalf of the emperor, and I will also contribute to the big case during this period." Liu Seeing Jiang Han's inquisitive look, the lord showed a tangled look on his face, but he quickly hid it, saluted and replied respectfully: "Master Huijiang, I found the whole family of the Lu family who sells silk and satin early this morning. The family was wiped out, only Lu Xiuer, the youngest daughter of the head of the Lu family, disappeared unexpectedly. It was rumored that Lu Xiuer had been dissatisfied with the family for a long time, and harbored resentment in her heart. At first, I just felt that this woman was a little suspicious, but today there are witnesses in the city to testify, saying This Lu Xiuer had two close friends in her boudoir, one named Zeng Ya and the other named Jiang Qiao, who also disappeared mysteriously. Before the disappearance of the three, witnesses had personally seen the three escape with murder weapons in the middle of the night, covered in blood. Therefore, it can be concluded that this Lu Xiuer must have collaborated with two close friends to kill the lives of the whole family of the Lu family."

"Really?" Jiang Han narrowed his eyes slightly, with a very playful expression on his face, he moved closer to Master Liu, and his voice was a little softer: "Master Liu really thinks that three women with no cultivation can kill A major case involving dozens of lives in the entire government? What's more, as far as I can see, it's impossible for this poor merchant's house to have no guards, right?"

Master Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, and said, "At first I also found it unbelievable, but after I invited you to conduct an autopsy, I found out that every corpse had been given a dose of violent sleeping pills."

"Since they can poison people, why not just poison them to death?" Jiang Han once again cast out his doubts.

A hint of impatience flashed in Master Liu's eyes, but he quickly hid it and explained carefully: "Your Excellency must also know that the mouth and nose of cultivators are much more sensitive than ordinary people, and their physique is also much stronger than ordinary people. Not to mention that ordinary poisons can't kill the guards of the Lu family who have cultivation bases, what's more, violent poisons often have peculiar smells, and practitioners with sensitive noses and mouths will definitely be able to detect them. Moreover, if they look for those who can kill cultivators with poison People's violent poison will definitely attract attention, so out of comprehensive consideration, they chose violent sleeping pills to knock the whole house into a coma before killing them. This just shows the ruthless and meticulous mind of the women who committed the crime .”

After hearing this, Jiang Han showed a look of sudden realization, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that Liu Kaifu, as a city governor, Mr. Liu is still a good hand in judging criminal cases and prisons. I really admire him!" Hearing Jiang Han Liu Kaifu accepted the compliment with pleasure, he didn't blush at all, but raised his head proudly, and said, "Master Jiang praised you. I just read a lot of classics about the criminal court's verdict. Forget it, it’s not worth mentioning, it’s not worth mentioning.”

Jiang Han just smiled and shook his head for his hypocritical and polite remarks, and then directly changed the subject, "I wonder if the governor knows about this?"

Seeing Jiang Han mentioning Zhuo Xingpeng suddenly, Liu Kaifu's expression changed, but he returned to normal after a flash, and replied with a smile: "Of course the governor knows about this matter. If such a vicious case happened, he The old man was very angry, and asked me to personally handle the case, and the result would be found out within three days. Alas, our governor really does not look like a military student. I think the noble sentiments of always worrying about the country and the people at that time, It’s like a literati.” Hearing his nasty words, even Jiang Han couldn’t help the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, and after secretly scolding “flatterer” in his heart, he continued: “I, as an imperial envoy, can’t wait for such a big thing to happen. I can’t just ask. Since Governor Zhuo already knows about this, why don’t Master Liu go to the Governor’s Mansion with me to talk to Governor Zhuo?”

"Of course, of course, if Mr. Jiang wants to go to Mr. Zhuo, the subordinate should accompany him." Hearing that Jiang Han seemed to want to take him with him, Liu Kaifu immediately beamed with joy, and moved towards Jiang Han's side in a desperate manner. In the past, although he bowed his eyebrows to Jiang Han and flattered him, he was less polite to Bao Lecheng who was wearing silver armor beside him, and said indifferently: "You guys are so good at handling your own affairs. Commander Bao, if you can Catching the criminal must be a top priority.”

Bao Lecheng in silver armor looked curiously at Jiang Han in blue, frowned and shook his head, and saluted Liu Kaifu, "I know."

Seeing his casual attitude, Liu Kaifu lost interest in continuing the conversation with him. Instead, he turned around and looked at Jiang Han with a flattering face, and led Jiang Han and a few guards around him towards the Governor's Mansion. While walking on the way, he kept saying good things to Zhuo Xingpeng, and by the way, he also secretly praised Jiang Han.Even if Jiang Han didn't like it, he had to feel that Liu Kaifu was much better at flattering and flattering than those eunuchs in the palace who had no background.

Governor's mansion, the mansion door opened, as if he knew Jiang Han was coming, Zhuo Xingpeng had already been waiting at the door.When he saw Jiang Han and Liu Kaifu approaching, he trotted forward with his fat body in two steps at a time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang is here. I have prepared tea and tea in the mansion in advance Dessert. Please hurry..."

Feeling Zhuo Xingpeng's enthusiasm, Jiang Han laughed loudly: "Master Zhuo is really too polite." While greeting each other politely, they walked into the living room of the mansion together.Of course, Jiang Han sat in the first place without letting go. He looked at the various pastries and a pot of good Zixuan tea on the table, and showed a satisfied smile.

As an old man, how could Zhuo Xingpeng not notice Jiang Han's smile? Lord Xiangjiang likes clear tea. This Zixuan clear tea is rare in our barren Xizhou. I heard earlier that you are coming to Xizhou to inspect on behalf of the emperor, so I asked many local merchants to get some. Naturally, It's not as good as the good tea from Mr. Jiang's own house. But it's not bad, alas, I've really wronged Mr. Xiang."

Jiang Han smiled when he heard this, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Master Zhuo, Master Zhuo, this is the best Zixuan tea, even I can't taste it often. You This is to say that I have been wronged! You are so polite!" There was some accusation in the words, but more of a happy satisfaction; Zhuo Xingpeng was also happy when he heard it, "Master Jiang likes it."

"Okay, let's talk about the business. I saw the frightening battle on the street earlier, so I asked Mr. Liu, and Mr. Liu also told me the whole committee of the tragedy of the Lu family being wiped out. Zhuo Governor, do you think this case can be determined?" Jiang Han put down his teacup and began to talk about business, "In my opinion, there are still many strange things about this case."

Liu Kaifu, who was sitting beside him, was taken aback when he heard Jiang Han's words. Thinking of Jiang Han boasting that he was strong in judging cases before, but now he suddenly publicly questioned him, he suddenly couldn't see through the noble boy in front of him.
