Chapter 54
When Lin Yi was thinking about the county guard's mansion, Wang An didn't rest at this time.

In the same study room, the candlelight was dim, and on Wang An's case was the information he had just received from the ghost market.

As a sheriff, of course he would not go to the ghost market himself, but there are many people who can help him go to the ghost market.

"A reward of [-] gold is offered to find the ghost king. Which dragon crossing the river has such a big hand?"

Looking at this most important piece of news, Wang An could naturally analyze the unusualness in it.

Some time ago, there was a Jingtian Sect activity in Xingsha County, and now the Ghost King was involved, and he also smelled something unusual.

In addition, someone kidnapped Wang Liang before, asked for a ransom, and went to his workshop to smelt copper in a fair manner. Wang Liang also said that the one who kidnapped him was the ghost king.

Of course, he didn't really believe that a ghost king would kidnap Wang Liang for five thousand gold, but he also knew that Wang Liang was not lying.

There must be another mystery behind this, so Wang An had no choice but to play dumb, pretending not to believe it, and beat Wang Liang up.

This kid should be beaten too. If he doesn't run around, can he give people a chance?
Now there is obviously a storm brewing in Xingsha County, and he may have been targeted.

In Wang An's case, there is another document.

"Lin Yi, whose ancestral home is Xingsha, and grandfather Lin Zheng, joined the army in the Northern Expedition and was defeated. His blood flowed in Wei soil, and after many years, he returned to his hometown. His wife, He, is also a refugee in the North."

Wang An also checked, and among those who participated in the Northern Expedition in Xingsha County, there was indeed a man named Lin Zheng.

Those who joined the army were all recorded, and in that Northern Expedition, the Song army was defeated, and even almost lost the natural danger of the Yangtze River. There are not many good men buried in the north.

From this point of view, there seems to be no problem with Ji Dong's origin, but Wang An is not entirely convinced.

Today, they will have the opportunity to meet.

"I want to see if you are a human or a ghost!"

……

A peaceful night, and then dawn.

Lin Yi got up early to make breakfast for Xiaocao, and while he was eating, Wang Jinxuan hurried over.

"Something is bad!"

"What's the matter?"

Lin Yi gnawed on the pumpkin cake calmly, and Wang Jinxuan handed the paper to Lin Yi, explaining, "When I woke up early in the morning, I saw this piece of paper stuck in the crack of the door, on which was written an astonishing According to the news, the Hundred Ghosts Sect and the Jingtian Sect have united to make a blood sacrifice to Xingshacheng!"

"Ok?"

Ji Dong's face changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "Besides whether it's true or not, why did others tell you this news?"

"Of course it's because Miss Ben hates evil like an enemy, she is brave and resourceful!"

Wang Jinxuan was very proud. To be honest, when she saw this piece of paper early in the morning, her first reaction was shock, followed by excitement.

Yay, I'm going to take part in the great action to save the world!
In her opinion, this news must have been sent to her by an expert lurking in the dark. The purpose of the expert is, of course, to protect the peace and harmony of Xingsha.

Even, Wang Jinxuan guessed that the expert was Lin Yi.

Lin Yi is the only one who knows that she is the county sheriff's daughter and lives in this place.

In addition, she thought that Ji Dong was an expert, so she immediately locked on the target.

Coincidentally, this thing was indeed given by Ji Dong.

Spreading rumors is the best way to stir up a struggle between the governor, the Hundred Ghosts Sect, and the Jingtian Sect.

Although the blood sacrifice to a city is a bit outrageous, it is extremely reasonable when it is placed on such inhuman organizations as the Hundred Ghosts Sect and the Jingtian Sect.

Wang Jinxuan has already believed it, and as a second-year girl, she will definitely use the power she can to prevent everything from happening.

At that time, won't the Sheriff's Mansion be tied to a chariot?

Even if the sheriff sees through that this is just a rumor, and knows that the Jingtian Sect and the Hundred Ghosts Sect have not cooperated, and it is impossible to do such an outrageous thing together, it will not matter at that time. As long as the people believe it, he must take action .

Guan Buping has also said that the governor of the king cherishes his reputation the most and will never let it go.

No matter what the county guard's mansion contributes, it can cause a little trouble for Baiguimen and Jingtianjiao.

This is also to bring some hatred to the Sheriff's Mansion and divert the attention of the Hundred Ghosts Sect and Jingtian Sect.

Wang Jinxuan didn't know that she had been used as a pawn by Lin Yi. She was in a very excited state now, and she wished she could go home and tell her father about this important event.

Lin Yi dissuaded him: "I don't think it's appropriate to say anything about it for the time being. You can go back and discuss it with your father, and I will report to the chief arrester. But before the matter is confirmed, don't let too many people know about it, so as not to cause riots."

"Yeah, I understand."

Wang Jinxuan looked obedient, she felt that this was Lin Yi's test for her, and she would definitely do it well!
Afterwards, maybe some masters would sneak into her room at night and teach her magical skills and secrets. Just thinking about it makes me feel so excited!
"I'm going to find my dad now!"

This girl is also swift and resolute, coming like the wind, and leaving like the wind.

Lin Yi also set off for Jingyesi after breakfast. He happened to meet Guan Buping at the door, so he carefully reported to him.

After a whole morning, the news that the Hundred Ghosts Sect and the Jingtian Sect were going to bloodbath the Xingsha City spread within Jing Yesi.

By the afternoon, everyone with a little background in Xingsha City knew the news, and once it spread to ten, ten to hundreds, the people of Xingsha City began to panic...

When Lin Yi and Guan Buping left for the county governor's mansion to have a banquet, they saw that there were no people on the street. Before it was dark, the ordinary people had closed the doors and windows. The huge Xingsha City was like a ghost town.

This is the power of rumors.

It is said that rumors stop at the wise, but when it comes to their own safety, who can maintain enough reason?
What's more, there is an old saying that goes like this: It's better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have.

It's a rumor, it's nothing to worry about, if it's true, it's a terrible thing!

And people have herd reactions. When one person is afraid, you may not be afraid, but when everyone around you is afraid, you have to be afraid even if you are not afraid.

Looking at the depressed city, Ji Dong felt a little bit sorry, thinking that as an envoy of justice, he would go farther and farther in violation of law and discipline since he came to this era.

Kidnapping for ransom, fraud, illegal copper smelting, spreading rumors...

I am afraid that one day I will become an outlaw fanatic?
Ji Dong's psychological activities are very interesting, but it's different if he doesn't care about it. He still doesn't know whether the news is true or not, and he hasn't found any clues about it in the city. As a guardian, he feels that he It's really rubbish.

Both of them came to the sheriff's mansion with serious faces. After the notification, Wang An's eldest son, Wang Qian, appeared at the door and led them to the mansion.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Wang Qian also led them outside the study,
"My father is dealing with government affairs in the study, and he has something important to discuss with the two, so he wants to meet the two here first. If it's impolite, I invite Haihan."

"It's okay."

Guan Buping just wanted to discuss with Wang An what to do, so there was no need to say so many polite words.

The three entered the study together, and Lin Yi also met the biggest official of Xingsha County for the first time.

When he was looking at Wang An, Wang An happened to look over, his eyes met, Lin Yi smiled slightly, and then lowered his head.

Wang An returned a kind smile, but the alarm bells were ringing in his heart.

"What does this kid mean?"
