Hearing Li Huowang's disbelief, a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the merchant's face.

"Then I also listened to the old man at the head of the village. I heard that the ghost wanted to be reborn, so he stole a lot of children under the age of one, and because he had been in the underworld for a long time, he came to harm the big girl."

"That is to say, there are many women who have lost their children in Cangshui County, right?"

"Hey, that's right! It's amazing to be a Taoist priest. That sentence can beat me a few words."

Li Huowang's brows were wrinkled, his child was stolen, and the woman was defiled. If it was really just this matter, then the local county magistrate should have sent an arresting head to arrest the person instead of notifying the supervisor. There must be something in it that this guy doesn't know.

The whip in Li Huowang's hand swung up and hit the horse's hip, and the carriage immediately ran.

Just before the gate was closed, Li Huowang finally arrived in Cangshui County. The gatekeeper saw Li Huowang's waist plaque of the Superintendent of Heaven, and hurriedly called for the arresting head to **** Li Huowang to the magistrate's office.

"Wow woo woo~" Messy footsteps sounded from Li Huowang from time to time.

Looking at the young and middle-aged man who hurriedly walked past the carriage with torches, Li Huowang asked the catcher who was leading the horse in front, "Who are these people?"

The catcher clasped his fists with both hands and said, "My lord! These are the night vigils drawn by the magistrate from the county! Now that people in Cangshui County are in a state of panic and curfew has been imposed, whoever dares to hang out outside will take it immediately!"

Li Huowang nodded clearly and stopped talking.

"Woo..." The unfamiliar environment seemed to make Mantou feel uneasy, and it kept arching its **** nose towards Li Huowang's arms.

However, Li Huowangzi kept scanning the deserted street, but found nothing unusual.

Soon, Li Huowang arrived at the yamen of Cangshui County. The magistrate obviously knew that Li Huowang was coming, and brought a group of people who were waiting at the door with the two big stone lions.

"Xiaguan has seen the adults!" As the magistrate dressed in neat official uniforms saluted, the master behind him, the county magistrate, the master, and the envoy also bowed their heads and saluted.

Li Huowang looked at the magistrate from under the carriage. The other party looked like he was in his forties, and he was a little too short. He stood out from the crowd.

"Stop gossiping, go in. The business is important." Li Huowang said that he was the first to go in, and the others quickly followed.

"Wow~woo~" The sound of paper flipping kept ringing in the hall, and a group of people bowed at the same time, carefully looking at Li Huowang who was flipping through the file.

When the tea on the table next to him was no longer steaming, Li Huowang put down the things in his hand. "Nine children were lost, and five golden-flowered daughters were defiled?"

The magistrate on the side hurriedly stepped forward. "I think that the number of defiled women is far more than that, just because they are ashamed to report to the officials, so..."

"Is that so? Is this the only thing?" Li Huowang's eyes were fixed on the magistrate's eyes.

A drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead. He first arched to Li Huowang, then turned to the others and said, "You all go down, Zhou Zhaotou, and let people surround the yamen."

The clattering footsteps were gone, and in the whole room, only Li Huowang and the magistrate were left.

"Xiaguan's surname is Lou. Although he is not from Cangshui County, his hometown is also in Jiangnan Province. As a parental official, seeing the people so terrified and uneasy, my heart is like a knife! I hope you can save the people like fire and water. !" Lou Zhixian, with tears in his eyes, said as he knelt down to Li Huowang.

This ceremony is a bit heavy. Judging from the last incident, the magistrate and Li Huowang are not in a subordinate relationship.

I just don't know if what he said is true or if he pretended to show it to Li Huowang. "I have something to say. Besides these things, what else happened in Cangshui County."

"There are still some thefts, but these things are of little importance! Please read, sir." Speaking of Lou Zhixian, he took out a map from the table next to him and slowly unfolded it in front of Li Huowang.

This is a detailed map of the entire Jiangnan Road. Next to Jiangnan Road is the Zongluo Road where Yinling City and Niuxin Mountain are located.

There are a total of six Da Liang Dao, each of which is large and small, and Jiangnan Dao is the smallest road.

"Lord, look." Lou Zhixian pointed to some small points on the map with his hand, "This kind of thing is not just a place in Cangshui! Pingcheng, Anshan, Panshui, a total of fifteen counties around Cangshui. , the same thing happens!"

Li Huowang looked at the dots on the map, and he finally understood why Tuoba Danqing had to take action on this trivial matter.

No matter how small things are, as long as they are piled up, they are no small things.

Li Huowang picked up the map and looked at it, "So many places, how many children will be lost?"

"There are fifty-seven people in total, and they are still increasing. The subordinate officials are strictly controlled. Cangshui County is not bad. There are already some people in other places who are slandering the public."

"Stealing children who are under the age of full, what are they used for..." Thinking of what he had experienced in this world, he always felt that the fate of those children would be miserable.

"Sir, I hope you can save the people and the fire!!" Lou Zhixian put his head down again.

"Don't worry, doesn't it mean that some women have been defiled by people? You find people and let me see." Since these two things happened at the same time, it is natural to ask what is going on.

Soon a confused woman was brought to Li Huowang, but faced with Li Huowang's inquiry, the other party couldn't understand.

I can't tell who defiled her, or when. If it weren't for her parents finding out that something was wrong, if it was herself, I'm afraid she wouldn't report it.

For a time, Li Huowang had a feeling that he could not start.

Li Huowang is really not very good at this kind of thing.

"No, I'm not necessarily helpless."

Looking at the back of the woman leaving~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Li Huowang thought for a while, took out the talisman book from his arms and flipped through it, then turned to look at Lou Zhixian, "Is there a human bone here? It's wider. ."

Since Chen Blind said that this talisman can be used for divination, it may be possible to try it now.

"Human...human bones?" Although he didn't know why, Lou Zhixian ordered the head arrester to look for it.

When the sky gradually turned white, the human bone Li Huowang wanted came, it was a skull.

"Sir, don't worry, it's definitely a human bone, just dug up from the burial mound." The catcher who brought the skull over flattened his face.

Li Huowang held it in his arms with one hand, and the turmeric paper was pulled out. He bit his finger open with his mouth, and quickly scratched it.

"Running is busy, Taiyin is impermanent, I am under the order to avoid the famine!"

A copper coin was pressed against the skull along with the painted talisman, and with the sound of rubbing, the skull cracked open.

With a dignified expression, Li Huowang looked at the cracks on the skull, and began to explain the hexagrams according to the records in the Talisman Book. "Well...this hexagram..."
