"Li Sen." Ji Ran looked at his subordinate who had been recording nearby, "You should start to arrange this matter."

"yes."

Ji Ran pushed the two stacks of documents in front of him to Feng Yishu and Du Kuangfeng respectively. The documents were very thick and heavy in his hand.

Feng Yishu picked it up and flipped it out casually. The document looked like a file, and it was compiled from the second year of Tianfu until this year in order.

"This is……?"

"For the specific details, Lord Feng and Du Tianshi can take a closer look after going back. Let me briefly talk about my discoveries here."

Ji Ran stood up.

"Since the last change in Daizong Mountain, we have been sorting out files of the activities of spirit-sacrificing people in the past twenty years.

"However, considering that the activities of the early spirit-bearing people were very hidden, when we collected the information, we not only sorted out the files that had been confirmed to be related to the spirit-bearing people, but also collected all the pending murders in various places - among which there are some very noteworthy details."

He flipped up the files in his hand and then stopped at the page of Tianfu Thirteenth Year.

Du Kuanfeng and Feng Yishu glanced at the year and quickly turned the documents in their hands to the corresponding place.

Ji Ran continued, "In the 12th year of Tianfu, Jurong, Yu Qian, Lin'an, Jiaxing and Yangzhou, murders of great scholars were successively killed--"

Feng Yishu and Du Kangfeng frowned at the same time, and their eyes quickly swept across the black and white words in their hands:

In the thirteenth year of Tianfu, in Xinyou, the great scholar Xu Yourangyu of Jiaxing was killed in his study. The scene was arranged neatly without any signs of fighting. The deceased's eyes were bulging and his face was extremely frightened. The cause of death: beheading;

In the thirteenth year of Tianfu, in Xinyou, Jiaxing's great scholar Xie Jun was killed while traveling to the lake at night. None of the three of them were spared. There were no traces of fighting in the cabin. One of them drowned in the lower body, and four of them were frightened. Cause of death: beheading;

After thirteen years of talent, Chen Youjiang, an official from Jiaxing, resigned...

Feng Yishu turned the page quickly, his eyes constantly jumping between several identical words.

The deceased were either local scholars or old ministers who had a reputation in the court before, and the causes of death were surprisingly consistent, and they were obviously frightened before their death.

Du Huanfeng also frowned slightly. Now that Ji Ran suddenly mentioned these cases again, he also had some impressions.

He remembered that at the beginning, a few students who killed the great scholars made a fuss. Everyone said it was true that their master died in the conspiracy of the enemy buying the evildoer. Several old masters who had had sex with the dead in the past were unbearable and eventually committed suicide in this extremely tragic way.

This of course caused several other uproars after that.

The so-called "buying evil theory" was solved after the cases occurred one after another - the murderer was attacking the prestigious scholars in Jiangnan indiscriminately. These murders were the most intensive between the thirteenth and fifteenth years of Tianfu. From one day onwards, the murderer disappeared along with his mysterious identity.

"Why did I notice these cases?" Ji Ran gently tapped the table. "Look at the last few murdered masters in Tianfu in the fifteenth year, there were still no traces of fighting at the scene. The old people still looked fearful before their death, but the murderer's method of committing the crime changed from beheading to cutting his throat - the same as the victims of the Mustard Garden Bookstore this time."

Feng Yishu and Du Kuangfeng quickly turned the page backwards.

really.

Ji Ran continued, "At that time, the government could not find the murderer, so the case was still unresolved. Among the victims, not all the weak men with weak hands were weak, and there were monks with abundant martial ethics like Zhang Yizhi. But strangely, the murdered dead never made a counterattack from beginning to end - this was a very troubled point for everyone at that time.

"But if the murderer was a big monster, everything would make sense," Ji Ran continued, "At that time, someone had thought about this possibility, why it was not adopted - because there had never been any demonic energy on the scene, and the same was true for the deceased's corpse. This time, the more than 200 people killed outside Luoyang City were the same. Except for the hat that was stained with demonic energy, the rest of the corpses were very clean.

"In addition, Mustard Seed Garden is located in Jinling, and these people all came from Jiangnan. I think there is reason to suspect that there may be a connection between the two - even the same person, and this person came from afar and entered Luoyang, and there is a very likely other purpose."

Ji Ran's line suddenly opened up the thinking between Du Canfeng and Feng Yishu at the same time.

Feng Yishu held the file he had sorted out in his hand tightly.

It is indeed not difficult for Dali Temple to check the files from all over the country. The difficulty is to wait and see all the complicated and disorderly information in front of you in the sea of ​​books and texts - and at the same time, you must maintain the sharpness of the beast, and realize the possible connections in the internal events that seem to be unrelated to each other.

This is not just something that can be done by putting some hard work.

Feng Yishu's throat moved - he had thought about looking for inspiration in the past files these days, but the on-site exploration has occupied almost all of his time, so he has not yet set aside any effort to advance this matter.

But to be fair, even if he really starts, can he do things as beautiful as Ji Ran in such a short time?

Feng Yishu reached out and grabbed his face, and his right foot started to shake his legs unconsciously - he was not good at sitting on the bench to read materials. When he used to write regular official documents, he directly pushed all these complicated face-saving work to Xiaoqi.

Looking at the file in front of him, Feng Yishu fell into deep thought.

Is this... the ability of Shaoqing of Dali Temple?

Du Qiangfeng stroked his beard from the side, which felt a subtle relief of a young man growing up in his family.

Ji Ran then briefly talked about many details he found in the past files. Everyone argued and inspired each other, and found many new ideas in a while.

It was already noon when I left Dali Temple. When I was sending a few people out, Ji Ran suddenly spoke, "Look at how tired Mr. Feng is, I have worked hard these two days."

"I'm used to small things. Besides, it's your turn to work hard next, so we can breathe a sigh of relief," he glanced at Ji Ran, "wait for your good news."

"Yeah." Ji Ran nodded. He looked elsewhere and asked inadvertently, "...I don't know how Miss Seven has been recently?"

Du Qiangfeng raised his eyebrows slightly and hummed softly.

Feng Yishu waved his hand, "What's wrong with her? She's just like the same thing, but she's locked up at home these days and will not go out to cause trouble, hahaha."

Speaking of this, Feng Yishu suddenly remembered something, "I heard that Xiaoqi broke through the door of your Dali Temple a few days ago, and he didn't cause any trouble for you."

Ji Ran shook his head, "...Not."

"Mr. Ji has a lot of them, don't bother with my sister." Feng Yishu put his hands on his hips, "She always thinks about it, but her heart is not bad. You will know after you have been with her for a long time - OK, it's getting late, let's withdraw first, and you can sync any news at any time."

"Um……"

Everyone said goodbye to each other.

Watching Feng Yishu and Du Fufeng go away, Ji Ran sighed in his heart.

--I know.

——I've known it a long time ago.
