"Brother Bai, go get busy, I have to go to Xishan." Song Wuya said in a hurry, and after washing up hastily, he ran outside.
Seeing his anxious state, Bai Zhuo immediately shouted: "Brother Wu Ya, what are you going to do in this western mountain? Digging for treasure?"
"No, it's something else." Song Wuya shouted and ran out of the inn.
There is no need for him to worry about the treasure, King Jin will naturally worry about it.After all, if you can find the treasure left by the former prince, that would be a great achievement!
Song Wuya brought several officers and soldiers, and hurriedly arrived at the village where Luo Xiaoer was.
Before entering the village, I saw white flags raised in the village from a distance.
"Damn! What happened?" Song Wuya looked at the white banner, and knew that someone must have died in this village, and it must be something bad.
"Uncle! Why did you go all of a sudden?" Luo Xiaoer's cry fell into Song Wuya's ears.
He just stopped outside the village chief's yard, and it was impossible to get in. The front was already surrounded by villagers.
Song Wuya couldn't help but took a deep breath, the matter was really decided by him, the death of the old village chief was definitely something strange.It is uncertain whether there is any treasure in this western mountain, but this treasure definitely does not belong to the former prince.And the father of the old village chief may not be the commander of the guards of the previous dynasty, and his identity is also different.
Song Wuya frowned and signaled the officers and soldiers not to move in vain. He squeezed into the crowd and walked towards the yard. He should at least find out how the old village chief died.

Chapter 477 Between the Lines
"Xiao Er, why did the old village chief die suddenly?" He saw the courtyard, the old village chief's body was covered with a white cloth, and a thin-skinned coffin was placed in the courtyard.
Things are already set in stone, and it is impossible to change them.
Luo Xiaoer only had such a family member in this world, and this uncle died suddenly, no wonder he was so sad.
A big man, crying like a qualified little girl, with splintering tears and snot running all over the place.
Luo Xiaoer raised his head and stopped the burning paper money in his hand: "Mr. Song, my uncle got up at night yesterday and fell to his death."
Listening to Luo Xiaoer crying and telling the story, Song Wuya immediately said: "Can I see it?"
"Young Master Song, just watch it!" Song Wuya was considered someone Luo Xiaoer respected, and after Song Wuya made this request, Luo Xiaoer only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Without hesitation, Song Wuya immediately lifted the white cloth and checked.
There was an obvious scar on the old village head's forehead, obviously the body had been cleaned.However, he could clearly see the damage of the wound.
"Where did you fall?" Song Wuya saw the corpse, and immediately asked Luo Xiaoer again.
Luo Xiaoer raised his finger and pointed to a place in the yard, still crying.
Song Wuya walked over and looked, this place was not somewhere else, it was just outside the latrine.This latrine is made of adobe, and there is a layer of stones under it, and one corner is stained with blood, which is still fresh.
Song Wuya frowned tightly and didn't look at him, he suddenly hated himself again.
Last night, he obviously wanted to go to the old village chief to ask for clarification, but he didn't do so.Who would have thought that the old village head would die in his yard early the next morning.
What Luo Xiaoer did to get up and fall to his death at night was not the same thing at all.Song Wuya took a look at the old village chief's forehead, where the wound was, but there were many abrasions.And the traces of abrasions, and the condition of the wound skin turned up.The old village chief didn't fall and knock on the stone at all, but was hit on the forehead with a brick.
Although he saw the cause of the old village chief's death, Song Wuya didn't say anything, and he didn't tell Luo Xiaoer about it.
He knew that even if he told the matter, he couldn't give Luo Xiaoer an explanation.
The death of the old village head is enough to prove that the matter of the former prince that the old village head said hides another secret.And this secret must have terrified the murderer. They must have known that if this secret was revealed, their mastermind behind the scenes would be revealed.That's why they killed the old village chief here at this time.
What is certain is that this matter has something to do with Wuliangjiao.Song Wuya thought of a possibility: "Could it be that the story hidden by the old village head might be related to the root of the Wuliang Sect? Could it involve the identity of the Wuliang Celestial Venerable?"
If this is the case, then Song Wuya will regret it even more, because he missed such an important thing just in this line.
"Hey!" Song Wuya couldn't help sighing, he took out some silver taels from his body, and handed them to Luo Xiaoer: "Xiaoer, I have nothing to help you. Take this money and spend it carefully." Let the old village head be buried!"
Song Wuya patted Luo Xiaoer's shoulder, turned around and left.He complained to himself in his heart that he was too careless in this matter.But now, this clue is broken, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to find it again.
Back in the city, Song Wuya did not meet Bai Zhuo and the others, but found King Jin instead.
The king of Jin said he was at ease, and was drinking tea in the backyard of the magistrate.
"Master Song, how are things going in the city recently?"
Seeing Song Wuya's visit, Jin Wang asked Song Wuya about the city with a smile on his face.
These words were nothing more than a scene that was spoken casually. I am afraid that King Jin already knew what was going on in this city.After all, the people who are active in this city are all his subordinates, if he doesn't even know this point, then he is really relieved.
"If you don't worry about King Jin, everything is under our control." Song Wuya didn't waste too much time on this matter. After he answered a sentence, he immediately asked King Jin: "My lord, please Forgive me for your rashness. In the next few days, I actually want to ask you, King Jin, to verify something."
"Oh? Master Song's words are very interesting! I can't help you with matters in this city. I don't know what you want to ask me?" King Jin also seemed very curious about Song. Wu Ya wanted to ask him something.
Song Wuya simply asked directly: "My lord, did any major events happen in the royal family when the dynasty was founded?"
"Huh? Why are you asking this?" Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Wuya spoke, King Jin's smile froze and he asked with a straight face.
Song Wuya immediately said: "It's related to one thing, I have some guesses, so I want to confirm it."
"I'm afraid this king can't help you! At that time, this king was not yet born, and the specific matters were not clear." Jin Wang said with a sullen face and shook his head.
But Song Wuya could tell that King Jin must know something, but he didn't want to say it.As a result, Song Wuya became even more skeptical that something really happened in the imperial family when the dynasty was opened, and this Wuliang Tianzun might be related to that incident.
Although he came here today to seek proof, Song Wuya had thought about it in his heart.After all, such things are not uncommon. The Xuanwumen Change happened in the Tang Dynasty, and it may have happened in the current dynasty, and the reason why this Wuliang Tianzun is like this may be because of that thing.
"My king is suddenly a little sleepy, so I won't leave Mr. Song here." King Jin frowned and got up, turned around and left.
The servants at the side immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Song, please."
Song Wuya nodded, got up and left the magistrate's office.
The officers and soldiers all over the street are intensively interrogating everyone. It seems that the progress is not bad. From time to time, people can be seen walking towards the prison under the escort of the officers and soldiers.
The matter here can be regarded as settled. The six so-called witnesses have died, and the only clue left is Qin Ke.
Now Qin Ke is still locked in the prison and is about to be escorted to Beijing by King Jin.
When he came to the prison, Song Wuya looked at Qin Ke in the cell. He was closing his eyes, as if he had realized Taoism and practiced Zen.
"Lord Qin, Mr. Song is here to disturb you." Song Wuya beckoned the jailer to open the cell and walked in.
At this moment, Qin Ke was deeply trapped and became their prisoner, Song Wuya still spoke to him politely.
Qin Ke was not killed. After all, he was an important prisoner, and the jailer needed to watch him carefully.
"Sir Song, I didn't expect you to come to see me at this time. Why, do you suddenly feel that I am important?" Qin Ke's tone was very calm, and he didn't feel any pain because of being trapped.
"Hearing Master Qin's words, he must have been expecting me to come to ask you." Song Wuya could tell, Qin Ke's words had already explained that he was waiting for Song Wuya to come.
