But Ren Feng, still holding those memorials, stood there, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

"Prefect Ren, please!"

"Don't be misled by some people's divisive tactics."

It was equivalent to Gao Teng taking Ren Feng away, leaving him no chance to stay.

Xu Shan, who saw this scene, was too lazy to stop it.

After he left, Wang Qinian stepped forward and asked, "Sir, are you just going to let Feng go like this?"

"After revealing this to the public, can Duke Qing keep him?"

"Do you really think Ren Feng got the position of Governor by currying favor with the powerful? What we can think of, he can't think of?"

"Don't worry. He'll be on high alert until his psychological defenses collapse."

"But just in case, have Xuan Yueyu personally lead the Ghost Pavilion people to follow."

"He can't die, at least not now."

Hearing Xu Shan's words, Wang Qinian nodded heavily and said, "I understand!"

"Where is the second team led by Wang Wushang?"

"They're taking the water route, so they should arrive later than us. But they'll definitely be in their respective positions by the afternoon!"

When Wang Qinian finished speaking, Xu Shan nodded heavily and said, "What about Suzhou?"

"Master Ji from Yuhang has replied. He will fully cooperate with our operations in Suzhou!"

"Xing Tongzhi and the Imperial Guards sent at least two groups of people."

"That's enough! Go and make the arrangements."

"Yes!"

After arranging all these matters, Xu Shan focused his work on solving the case in the following period.

While he was carefully inspecting the scene, Zhang Liansong, who followed closely behind him, was like a little fan, recording the scene and asking questions.

"Sir, why is there silver hidden in a wooden sheath?"

"They recast the tax silver they collected and filled it into hollowed-out tree trunks. Using the buoyancy of the river, they transported it downstream to Nanjing."

"One is usually one thousand taels."

"Over three million taels... thousands of wooden stakes were carried downstream, but the silver inside was gone!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liansong muttered, "After the incident, both land and water were blocked!"

"There's no way to transport that much tax silver. Where is it hidden?"

"Where is the victim's body?" Xu Shan raised his head and asked the investigators.

“They are all in the makeshift tent out front.”

"Go and have a look."

After saying that, Xu Shan walked in first.

He has communicated with more than 300 corpses!

The clues they could provide were minimal.

From the perspective of these officers and soldiers, after arriving at Xifengkou, their colleagues became vicious robbers.

They fought against each other, resulting in this bloody incident.

However, there is still survivor bias.

A dozen officers and soldiers who were not completely dead vaguely heard the conversation between the remnants of the Demon Sealing Clan as they cleaned up the battlefield.

"Hurry up, the rest of you finish off the corpse."

"The remaining dozen or so people will proceed as planned."

"Don't stay here too long."

'Shuh! '

'bass.'

During this period, several officers and soldiers heard the sound of chopping before they died.

‘Poof! ’

There was also the sound of something heavy falling into the water.

'Ding dong! '

Just at this moment, the system prompt sounded.

[System releases group mission - officers and soldiers' last wishes! ]

[Mission content: Find the murderer and kill him! ]

【Task progress: 0/15! 】

[Mission Reward: Fifty Years of Cultivation!]

Hearing this mission prompt, Xu Shan frowned and muttered inwardly, "Only fifteen people?"

"Even if you are a master, it is impossible for you to run around with so much silver."

"There are no signs of heavy objects being crushed around the crime scene."

"The sound of chopping wood and falling water..."

"Is it dark under the lamp?"

Xu Shan thought of something and hurried to the crime scene again.

The accompanying Jinyiwei were no longer surprised.

But his abnormal behavior really confused Zhang Liansong.

Especially when Xu Shan was carefully surveying something along the coast, he asked in confusion: "Sir, what are you looking for?"

'bass! ’

'boom. ’

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shan, with his sword drawn, climbed up the inner side of the rocks near the water.

After picking it up and examining it carefully, he said with a faint smile: "Look for this!"

"Huh? What are you looking for this for?"

"Did you notice anything different?"
