The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Chapter 137 Accidentally Discovered

"Looking for a Taoist priest?" Lin Congyun's eyes flashed with something strange. "Why are they looking for a Taoist priest?"

"I heard that those soldiers seemed to be looking for the Taoist priest who can exorcise evil spirits." Wu Jinjie whispered.

"Exorcism?"

When Lin Congyun heard this, he was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood.

They must have discovered that something was wrong with the county magistrate, and after consulting a doctor to no avail, they decided to ask a Taoist priest to come over.

In this way, things will be easier for the children.

"Butler, I have a list here. It contains all the children who have gone missing in Yong'an County during this period. Most of them are in villages near Yong'an County. When the city gates are not so strict, you can take people to find the adults of these children according to the addresses on the list."

Wu Jinjie took the list from Lin Congyun and took a quick look at it. "Grandfather, so many children?"

Lin Congyun nodded solemnly. "There are still a few who are too young and don't know where their families live. You can help find out when the time comes."

"Don't worry, ancestor, I know." Wu Jinjie responded and put the list away.

The next day, Wu Jinjie informed Lin Congyun that the martial law in Yong'an County had ended.

Although no one knew the reason, people in Yong'an County were saying that the county magistrate had contracted a serious illness and was dying.

Some people also said that the county magistrate was possessed by evil spirits, so he had been looking for Taoist priests to exorcise the evil spirits these days. Anyway, there were all kinds of rumors.

For Lin Congyun and others, as long as Yong'an County is not under martial law, it will be enough.

Wu Jinjie brought the people from the General's Mansion, plus a few people from Huangjia Village, and set out in different directions.

Lin Congyun entered the space again and came directly to the rockery.

Lock up Zhao Tianqian for about three days to see if he can still be stubborn.

When he opened the stone door, a foul odor still hit his nose. Lin Congyun wrinkled his nose and took a few steps back.

I wanted to wait for Zhao Tianqian to come out by himself, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from inside.

Lin Congyun looked at the dark cave and didn't want to go in. Just then she saw a figure not far away and called him over.

Unexpectedly, it was the inn official who came out a few days ago.

He ran over tremblingly and asked cautiously, "Madam, what do you want me to do?"

Lin Congyun covered his nose with one hand and pointed inside the rockery with the other hand...

Before he could finish his words, the innkeeper knelt down in front of Lin Congyun.

"Madam, I have been very well behaved these past few days...

"What are you yelling about?" Lin Congyun turned around and took a breath, then continued, "I told you to go in and get the guy out!"

The innkeeper was surprised and looked at the cave. After Lin Congyun glared at him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in quickly.

After a while, he ran out, retched twice, and then said, "Madam, the person inside seems to have fainted?"

"Don't you know how to bring the person out?"

"Oh..." He walked in again helplessly.

When the innkeeper dragged Zhao Tianqian out, Lin Congyun walked aside a few steps with disgust.

"Is he okay?"

The innkeeper threw Zhao Tianqian aside and immediately moved away from him. He shook his head and replied, "He's not dead. He's still breathing..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Zhao Tianqian on the ground making a sound like a ghost screaming...

"Water... water..."

Lin Congyun looked at him with some disdain, "Want some water?"

Zhao Tianqian nodded with difficulty. Because his hands were tied, he could only move his dry lips.

"If you want some water, then tell me where the iron mine is and why the Second Prince wanted to kill the people in the General's Mansion?"

There was confusion in Zhao Tianqian's eyes at first, but then he seemed to have thought of something and began to nod his head desperately.

"I said, I said, give me some water first..."

Lin Congyun curled his lips into a smile, waved his hand, and asked the official next to him to fetch some water.

After the water was brought over, when Zhao Tianqian pouted his lips and wanted to drink it, Lin Congyun fell directly to the ground next to him.

Zhao Tianqian looked at the man who had fallen to the ground and poured water, with a hint of begging in his eyes, "Please... give me water... I want to drink water..."

Lin Congyun looked down at him, and when the water in the kettle in his hand was almost poured out, he handed it to the innkeeper, "Moisten his mouth."

Only one sip of water in the kettle was left for Zhao Tianqian. Zhao Tianqian tilted his head back and finally drank the water, moistening his cracked lips.

Lin Congyun urged again: "Hurry up and speak!"

"That iron mine is in my hometown... The second prince killed the people in the general's mansion because... it seems that General Fang knew the second prince's secret, so he wanted to get rid of the people in the general's mansion..."

"Secret?" Lin Congyun's face was full of confusion. The original owner should not know the secret that Zhao Tianqian mentioned, otherwise why there was no impression of it in the original owner's memory?

Zhao Tianqian lowered his head, his hands were tied tightly, he tried his best to avoid Lin Congyun's sharp gaze, his voice trembling a little: "But I really don't know this secret about the Second Prince. At that time, when the Second Prince sent people to rescue me, I also accidentally learned that the Second Prince set fire to the post station."

"Are you finished?"

Lin Congyun's voice became louder. Zhao Tianqian was so scared that his body trembled for a moment, then he nodded.

"That's all. I don't know anything else."

"Where is your hometown?"

"Wanping County..."

Lin Congyun repeated the place name. In the original owner's memory, it seemed that he didn't know this place.

The innkeeper next to him tried to speak, "Wanping County is not far from Yong'an County. It takes about four or five days to get there."

"That's not far!" Lin Congyun suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Zhao Tianqian, "Did the Second Prince send anyone over?"

Zhao Tianqian nodded, "That day when I went to the secret room, I sent people to Wanping County."

Lin Congyun calculated the time. If he just came from the capital, it would take about twenty days, and that was at full speed.

However, Zhao Tianqian’s words cannot be fully believed. After all, why would he know about such a big thing as the iron mine?

Of course, when Lin Congyun thought of this, he immediately asked.

Zhao Tianqian fell to the ground and hesitated, "That...I...then..."

Lin Congyun had no patience for him. "Since you don't want to talk, then stay inside..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tianqian immediately spoke: "I'll tell you, actually...actually I discovered it accidentally when I returned to my hometown to offer sacrifices."
