2412: C2412 Prefecture Lord Ma Huan

C2412 Prefecture Lord Ma Huan

After Old Jiang left, Jiang Ting stood on the spot quietly and looked at the dried corpse of the maid, Xiao Zhu. He pondered whether it was some accident that he didn't understand or an immortal god had set its eyes on him.

For both reasons. No matter how he thought about it, perhaps he could only deduce the situation more accurately when the Prefecture Overlord came over.

Thinking about this, Jiang Ting slowly circulated the Qi Refining Incantation to speed up the recovery of his injuries... Fortunately, he had retreated quickly, so his injuries were not too serious. On the contrary, his injuries were very light. He could recover by circulating his cultivation technique once or twice.

After recovering from his injuries, Jiang Ting said after a moment of silence, "Don't bury Xiao Zhu's corpse for the time being. Wait for the magistrate court's men to come and check it. Zhong Ming, send down the order. Prepare a feast to entertain the officials."

In this stronghold, the magistrate court was not as strong as any other family. However, with the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty as his back, no clan dared to underestimate the government.

The bell immediately clasped his fists, "Only."

… ….

Roughly an hour later.

Jiang manor, great hall.

Jiang Ting sat boldly in the middle of the hall. The tables and chairs below were filled with dishes and wine. The fragrance of the food and wine continued to spread, but no one moved.

Another while passed.

Old Jiang approached the main hall in a hurry, "Master, the Prefecture Lord is here."

Jiang Ting raised his eyebrows: "The Manor Lord is coming personally?"

According to his understanding of the Grand Development Immortal Dynasty, the Prefecture Lord was not a small figure. It was said that the stronghold of the stronghold of the stronghold of the stronghold, the Prefecture Lord was the supreme ruler of a hundred prefectures.

It was just a small murder case, yet the Prefecture Lord actually came here personally? According to his prediction, no matter how bizarre or bizarre the matter was, the Prefecture Overseer would only send people to investigate, not personally come.

Old Jiang explained softly, "Reporting to my lord, after I entered the government office to report this case, the Manor Lord seemed to know something and brought Commander Liu here personally on the spot."

Commander Liu? Jiang Ting didn't know him.

However, he knew that Commander Liu and his commander Zhong Ming from the Jiang manor were different. The commander of the Jiang manor only commanded the guards from the Jiang manor, while the commander of the magistrate court commanded the soldiers from the manor!

Furthermore, according to the laws of the Grand Development Immortal Dynasty, Commander Liu had the right to command and recruit many guards if he met with any mishaps, such as a demon invading the city!

In between his emotions, Jiang Ting stood up: "I didn't think that the Palace Lord would come in person … Zhong Ming, bring your men and follow me to welcome the Manor Lord. "

The rule was like this. Unless Jiang Ting was about to reveal his identity, he had to go and receive him.

….

At the entrance of the Jiang manor.

When Jiang Ting and the other guards arrived at the door, there were already about 20 soldiers in black armor and a carriage carried by four people.

At this moment, the carriage tilted 45 degrees and a middle-aged man with a scholarly air was standing beside the carriage. The middle-aged man was wearing a purple and green official uniform.

There were many densely packed patterns on it, and it was just an ordinary set of clothes.

Seeing Jiang Ting come out, the middle-aged man slightly nodded: "Master Wu Steel."

Naturally, he was Ma Huan, the Martial Saint of the stronghold.

"To think that the honored tutor has come in person. This truly brings honor to my humble dwelling …"

Jiang Ting took a big step forward and then turned around with a look of displeasure on his face, "What are you waiting for? "Welcome to the Manor Lord's Mansion!"

Jiang Ting was a bit confused while scolding her … This middle-aged man was a normal person. He was a genuine normal person, and there was not the slightest bit of disharmony around him. To put it simply, he was a pure, pure human.0

But when he had sensed this stronghold from afar, he had clearly sensed that this Lord Prefect had the aura of a Deity of the third rank.

However, Ma Huan smiled and said, "Master Elder Jiang, investigating a case is more important. I don't believe that the so-called demons are the culprits. Someone must be interfering with the matters of the Jiang manor."

Jiang Ting's mouth twitched... For some reason, he suddenly thought of Situ Zhangkong, a scholar who didn't believe in ghosts or gods.

Although he was extremely emotional, Jiang Ting's actions were not slow: "Come in, come in."

"Commander Liu, you can follow me. The others can temporarily wait outside the Jiang manor." Ma Huan gave a command and followed him into the Jiang manor.

Then, Jiang Ting gave the old man a look.

Old Jiang hurriedly moved closer to Ma Huan when he saw the situation, "Prefecture Lord, since you've come to the Jiang manor to investigate in the middle of the night, why don't you go eat some midnight snacks first?" "Otherwise, if others were to find out that our Jiang manor was letting you, the ruler of the manor, starve in the middle of the night to help the Jiang manor investigate, who knows what kind of rumors and rumors would spread out."

Ma Huan frowned and immediately whispered, "Just prepare some midnight snacks to send to the soldiers outside. First, send me to see the murderer who was killed tonight … Don't mention it again. The investigation is more important. "

"Only." Old Jiang didn't dare to stop them.

Jiang Ting's expression turned strange. He thought that Ma Huan was just saying … He didn't expect it to be true.

"Honorable Lord Prefect, please follow me." With that, Jiang Ting changed his route, not towards the direction of the main hall, but towards where Xiao Zhu's corpse was.

As for that Commander Liu, he didn't say a single word the entire time and only silently followed behind Ma Huan … Jiang Ting was certain that Ma Huan was a demigod. It was just that he was unsure whether she was a transformational demoness or a human demigod.

However, it was not important. He would not confront the magistrate court anyway.

Very quickly, the group arrived at the place where Xiao Zhu was killed. The dried corpse was still lying on the ground, not moving at all.

When they got closer, Commander Liu, who had been silent all this time, revealed a faint surprised expression. "Eh?"

Ma Huan frowned and asked, "Has Commander Liu found anything?"

"Reporting to old master, this corpse..." After hesitating for a while, Commander Liu revealed a look of disbelief, but he didn't answer. He instead went closer to the corpse and flipped it over for further observation.

After observing for a while, Commander Liu's eyes revealed some shock, "Old Master Prefect, I'm afraid there really is a demon in here. This corpse's blood and essence was completely sucked dry, but its entire body is completely unscathed."

"Demon …" Ma Huan's expression slightly darkened. She tilted her head and said, "Master Elder Jiang, why don't you recount what happened to you in detail. How about that?"

"Alright …" Jiang Ting started to narrate without any hesitation.

After knowing what happened, Ma Huan tightly furrowed her brows.

After a long while, Ma Huan revealed a puzzled expression as she looked at the corpse. "Could it be … it's really some demonic technique?"

When Jiang Ting heard this, his eyes revealed some surprise, "Lord Prefect, didn't you just say you don't believe in demons?"

Ma Huan's expression did not change, "Master Elder Jiang, I do not believe in fiendish demons. I do not believe that fiendish demons can enter this stronghold and do not believe in fiendish demons."
