I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 24 The First Case in Youzhou

inside the room.

Zuo Dao looked at the official seal of the capital commander at the end of the letter, with a look of contemplation on his face.

According to common sense, the person contacting him in Kyoto should be the governor.

But this letter was written by the commander himself.

The letter said that he was asked to secretly search for the source of the demons in Youzhou.

Could it be that the commanders in the capital, or even people at higher levels, think that the rise of demons in Youzhou is man-made?

If they are man-made, what are they for?
Subverting the Wei Dynasty was still the Taoism mentioned at the end of the letter.

After all, the one who asked him to find the Tao Seed was the commander of the capital, the leader of the Jin Yiwei, who was still a third-grade official.

A third-grade official who only serves the emperor.

Moreover, the mention of Tao seeds is a secret text that can only be learned by the Qianhu level of Jinyiwei.

This proves that this matter must not be known to others.

Regarding the right to know about this matter, the official position of the governor is not enough.

Even the rank of commanding officer and commanding colleague are not enough to access this secret.

Zuo Dao frowned.

It's easier to find the source of the demons everywhere. After all, Jin Yiwei's archives contain detailed reports on nearly [-]% of the cases of demons and demons.

But what is this seed?

He doesn't even know what Taoism looks like, so how can he find it?
Zuo Dao came to his senses and put the letter in his hand on the candle to light it.

The letter was engulfed in flames and quickly turned into a puddle of ashes.

Zuo Dao waved his hand slightly, caressed by the wind, and the letter instantly disappeared.

He stood up and walked out of the room.

Zhao Hu was seen guarding the door, looking around cautiously.

After seeing Zuo Dao come out, he bowed slightly and said, "Sir, you are out."

Zuo Dao nodded and asked, "Where is Du Qianhu?"

Zhao Hu said: "Du Qianhu is on duty in the Yamen now. He should be in the front hall at the moment. Do you want my subordinates to invite him?"

Zuo Dao waved his hand and said, "No, I'll just go to the front hall."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hu immediately followed Zuo Dao and walked towards the front hall.

Come to the vestibule.

Then he saw Du Wanshan sitting there, sifting through the special cases that had never been solved in Youzhou.

This so-called special case is one involving monsters and ghosts.

Ordinary cases are handled by the yamen themselves.

Only cases where demons are causing trouble, ghosts are appearing in the world, and murdering people will be sent to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

Du Wanshan handed the pile of cases at hand to his subordinate Jin Yiwei and asked him to send them to the front for dispatch.

The cases he selected were all committed by low-level demons or ghosts.

With previous successful cases in the suburbs, Du Wanshan gradually became more bold in doing things.

When Zuo Dao saw this, he immediately smiled and said: "Master Du is really conscientious and a role model for us!"

Du Wanshan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Zuo Qianhu was joking. If Zuo Qianhu hadn't given Beizhi the method before, Beizhi wouldn't have dared to act in such a drastic way."

He walked down, gave up his seat, and said, "Your Excellency, you are here this time, but you have something to explain."

Zuo Dao nodded and said, "I am a little unfamiliar with this case library. I hope you can find the cases about the demons in Youzhou and the map."

When Du Wanshan heard this, he immediately ordered the Jin Yiwei who was responsible for guarding the archives to find him.

But before he could take any action, he heard Zuo Dao continue: "Master Du, I still need you to go in person for this matter. From now on, the records of the Jinyiwei will not be accessible unless you are deputy to the thousand households or above." After Du Wanshan heard this, he first He was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I understand."

After the words fell, Du Wanshan walked towards the document library.

Zhao Hu accompanied Zuo Dao and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you think someone will attack the archives?" '

Zuo Dao shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

If someone really wanted to take action against the archives, someone would take action directly before he came to Youzhou.

But what he is worried about now is not that someone is taking action against the archives.

It was the force behind Jinyiwei Qianhu.

The previous two Jin Yiwei Qianhu died in the line of duty in Youzhou for various reasons.

And nothing could be found wrong with the cause of death.

But if it was really a normal death, then how could not even the bones be found, leaving only the bloody clothes and weapons.

While Zuo Dao was deep in thought, Du Wanshan came over holding a pile of documents, with a detailed map of the entire Youzhou at the top.

Du Wanshan said: "Sir, within 15 years, almost all the cases in Youzhou have been here."

After Zuo Dao asked Zhao Hu to take it, he smiled and said, "There is Lord Lao Du."

Du Wanshan smiled, and then whispered: "When I went to the archives warehouse just now, I found someone observing on the house near the archives warehouse, but did you arrange it?"

Zuo Dao was stunned when he heard this, turned to look at Zhao Hu and said, "What Master Du said is one of ours?"

When Zhao Hu heard this, his expression changed slightly and he said, "Sir, we haven't arranged any brothers in the house yet."

Du Wanshan frowned slightly and said, "It seems that some people can't sit still when your Excellency comes this time."

Zuo Dao said: "Zhao Hu, arrange for people to take turns guarding the records warehouse. If there is a shortage of people, ask Du Qianhu to dispatch them."

Zhao Hu heard this and quickly responded.

Later, Zuo Dao said to Du Wanshan: "Sir Lao Du is on duty regarding the Jinyiwei Yamen. I will go and learn more about the affairs of Youzhou."

Du Wanshan cupped his hands and said, "As it should be, Sir, walk slowly."

Zuo Dao nodded slightly and then walked outside.

Wait until Zhao Hu puts a set of documents into Zuo Dao's room.

Zuo Daocai said: "During this period, you and Zhang Long took turns guarding the archives. This time, Du Qianhu's ghost killing seemed to have shocked some people."

When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, sir."

"Sir, I need to do a secret investigation under my humble position to find out that rat who is peeking into my Jinyiwei case library."

Zuo Dao: "Just do your best on this matter. There is no need to search too much. Since they are already frightened, they will definitely take action. The bigger their actions are, the easier it is to reveal their flaws."

Zhao Hu heard the words, responded, and then left the room directly.

Zuo Dao divided the documents according to the timeline, starting with the case where the demon appeared at the very beginning.

Records related to monsters and monsters actually date back to the founding of the Wei Dynasty.

But what was really determined was what happened in Youzhou Shiwan Mountain 15 years ago.

Countless wild beasts crazily descended from the mountain and began to frequently harass the people below.

The number of Miao people in the mountains dropped sharply, and they went to Kyoto to seek asylum from the emperor, praying for troops to be sent to suppress the [-]-strong mountain beast tide.

Since then, demons and ghosts have appeared frequently in Youzhou.

Not only Youzhou, but other state capitals located on the border have also seen signs of demonic chaos one after another.

It's just that Youzhou is the most serious.

Zuo Dao looked at all the documents carefully.

The first case in Youzhou that was identified as a case of demons and demons in troubled times was also the horrifying case of the Eighteen Sons and Evil Ghosts.
