Chapter 335 Division of Labor
Xie Zhaozhao and Lu Hanqiu looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

Lu Hanqiu said: "King Qiyang."

Qiyang Villa is vast and covers an extremely large area. Because Emperor Xuanwu loved meritorious officials, and King Qiyang surrendered his military power and retired with great success when the country was settled, Emperor Xuanwu was very happy and received many rewards.

King Qiyang is now over seventy years old. He only has two sons who work as casual officials in the Ministry of War and receive a small salary.

The Qiyang King's lineage has never relied on the meager salary in the officialdom.

They have their own industry in Qizhou area.

Because Emperor Xuanwu valued King Qiyang, court officials from all walks of life also gave him great respect, and he has become the richest in recent years.

"That's right." Lu Hanqiu added: "The eldest daughter of King Qiyang, her husband is the Sima of Qizhou. He is in charge of [-] troops in Qizhou and is stationed ten miles north of the city."

"I know this……"

Xie Zhaozhao frowned slightly.

In my impression, nothing happened here in the previous life of King Qiyang... But counting this time, this time period happened to be when King Liang came to power and went on a killing spree in the previous life.

Perhaps this incident also happened in Qizhou, but the brutal killings by King Liang were so shocking that there were few rumors about the missing children in Qizhou.

"He is a king."

Lu Jingrong, who had been silent, said, "That's a bit tricky. What are you going to do?"

Lu Hanqiu looked at Xie Zhaozhao: "What do you think of Miss Seven?"

"Me... the monster in the valley may be a breakthrough. Even if it has nothing to do with the disappearance of the child, it is really strange, and it is really inappropriate to make people panic..."

Xie Zhaozhao pondered for a moment and said: "What I mean is to round up the weirdo first and temporarily relieve some of the people's panic, and then interrogate the parents who have lost their children in the prison. We will understand the specific situation and then see how to act."

"it is good."

Lu Hanqiu nodded, "I think so too. Then I will go to the interrogation, and Miss Seven will round up the monster... I will allocate a team of people to Miss Seven tomorrow."

Xie Zhaozhao said "Yeah", "That's it, let's go to bed early."

After Xie Zhaozhao left, Lu Jingrong also left.

Lu Hanqiu immediately asked his master to mobilize his own manpower.

The master hesitated before he spoke: "Isn't it a bit hasty to let Miss Xie Qi round up the monster? She is a woman after all, and she is also His Highness's fiancée. If something happens -"

"Then you go?"

"Uh, what kind of material is this villain..."

"Then go and do as you are told."

Lu Hanqiu said coolly: "If something goes wrong, Your Highness will come to me for trouble. Don't worry, I will take full responsibility when the time comes and I won't involve you."

The master laughed sarcastically. Although he was muttering in his heart, he did not dare to say more and quickly withdrew.

……

Early on the next morning, Xie Zhaozhao got up before dawn, wearing a narrow-sleeved waistband and breeches, his hair was neatly pulled up, and he also put on sleeve arrows, wrist guards, and soft animal skin armor to protect his chest.

The people sent by Lu Hanqiu also arrived very early. They were a team of 50 officers and soldiers, not like people from the Qizhou government.

Xie Zhaozhao asked Hongxiu to ask, and then Hongxiu came over and told him that it turned out that this team was brought from the capital.

Xie Zhaozhao nodded and felt reassured.

"I'll go with you too." Lu Jingrong walked out of the room, still dressed in the simple and casual style of his usual straight gown.

He slept late last night, but now he looked very energetic.

Lu Hanqiu also raised his hand, "The contents of this syringe are very useful against that monster."

"Okay." Xie Zhaozhao agreed, but couldn't help but warn: "This time, please watch my gestures. If I don't let you speak, don't say anything. Don't do whatever you want. You have to agree to me." Otherwise, you still have to promise me. Like yesterday, it would be terrible if something went wrong.

Lu Jingrong was silent: "I also helped a little bit yesterday..."

Seeing Xie Zhaozhao frowning, Lu Jingrong sighed and changed his words: "I know."

When everything was ready, Xie Zhaozhao led the group to the valley.

……

Lu Hanqiu brought another officer from the capital to the Qizhou government dungeon.

Liu Hongsheng was on the side and said with a smile: "Those people are well fed and drank by the officials. Mr. Lu can ask whatever he wants when he sees them later."

"Row."

Lu Hanqiu said calmly: "I asked myself, so I don't need Mr. Liu to accompany me."

Liu Hongsheng had no intention of accompanying him, so he smiled and said a few polite words before leaving.

The master next to him walked back three times. When he reached a quiet place, he couldn't help but said: "Sir, are we just going to hand over those people to the people named Lu? If we ask anything, won't they not agree with us?" Give it up and let it go."

"Whatever they want."

Liu Hongsheng frowned and said: "They are simply out of control... They are the ones who made it impossible for me to explain to the superiors in the first place."

The master was silent.

In fact, those people didn't go so far in the beginning, and Liu Hongsheng was able to help with the situation, but as time went by, those people became more and more excessive, and intensified to the point where they can no longer handle it.

And it also involves some other things.

Once those things are exposed, Long Yan in Kyoto will be furious, and Qizhou will be shaken up.

It's no wonder that Liu Hongsheng wants to make a career now and opens the door for Lu Hanqiu from the capital.

……

The sun had just risen when Xie Zhaozhao arrived at the valley.

Those 50 people were all dressed in blue-grey clothes with wide sleeves and uniform embroidered spring knives.

This is an elite person handling cases in Dali Temple.

Lu Hanqiu only brought one hundred when he came this time. He gave fifty to Xie Zhaozhao and kept fifty for himself.

The leader of the police force was a thin-faced man in his 30s. He was very respectful to Xie Zhaozhao and Lu Jingrong. After all...it was hard for him not to be impressed by someone who could escape from the monster's hands and return them all alive to inquire about the situation.

"We encountered it deep in the valley."

Xie Zhaozhao took the branch and waved away the messy thatch and moved forward. He pointed into the distance and said, "It's roughly at that location, but it didn't appear during the day."

As they walked next, Xie Zhaozhao told everyone the characteristics of the monster and what they needed to pay attention to.

This group of people were equipped with bows and arrows on their backs, and repeating crossbows on their waists. The arrows and crossbows were all smeared with the medicine prepared by Lu Jingrong.

I have to say that Lu Jingrong still has great ideas.

I prepared these quietly overnight.

The leader of the policemen nodded while listening, "Then we have to wait until night?"

"I don't know..." Xie Zhaozhao shook his head, "It was indeed night when we came to it yesterday, but we can't conclude based on this that it won't come and go during the day..."

"It was shot by a needle last night. Maybe we can divide into several teams and look for it without having to wait until night."

The leader nodded: "There are 54 of us now. That monster sounds very powerful... Then we will form a team of nine people and divide them into six groups to search forward."
