C10 Penetrating Qing Cult

At the same time, word came from the staff of the nearby investigation.

"An old woman said that two or three months ago, we could always hear the sound of the zither in the vicinity, but then it disappeared."

The Xue family was the descendant of a famous family. Men followed martial arts, and women practiced martial arts. It was a custom that had always been known by people. Therefore, the sound of the zither that this old woman heard easily made people think of Xue Shu.

"However, the old woman also said something strange."

"What is it?" The three of them said in unison. They were almost certain that Xue Shu had something to do with this matter.

"The old woman said that she found a bloody handkerchief at the door of her house on the first night she heard the sound of the zither."

"Where is the handkerchief? Show it to me!" Ruan Ange looked at him with a frown.

His subordinate took out a piece of white cloth from his sleeve. When he opened the cloth, there was indeed a silk handkerchief with a large amount of blood on it.

"Judging from the material, it definitely isn't something from an ordinary family."

"Send it to the Xue residence immediately and let the people of the Xue residence identify if this is something from the residence."

The news was quickly sent back. This silk handkerchief was indeed a relic of the Xue residence's young miss, Xue Shu.

"As expected, Xue Shu shouldn't have the ability to commit a crime. It's just that someone is using her as bait."

"Hurry up and send a signal to the people nearby. Those who sense something must be careful!" Ruan Ange ordered calmly. Then he rushed to the yamen office to check the files.

After a discussion, they suspected that they could get some clues from the trafficking of women.

Ruan Ange looked at the file and wondered why the two people beside him had followed him to the yamen to look at the file.

Moreover, if he remembered correctly, Ning Wanqing should not be able to read, right?

"What is this?"

Ning Wanqing pointed to a part of the content on the paper. "It says that last year in March, someone saw a nameless woman being dragged away by someone. Could this nameless woman be Xue Shu?"

Ruan Ange was even more confused when he heard her words. Didn't she not know how to read?

"I just learned it."

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had actually voiced out the doubt in his heart. For a moment, his expression was a little embarrassed and uneasy. Ning Wanqing did not take it seriously and continued to say, "Why don't you call the person who reported the case over and ask?"

Ruan Ange thought about it and decided to take her opinion. Sure enough, he summoned the person who reported the case to ask. While waiting for the other party to come over, he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned, "Didn't you say you can't read?"

"I just learned it. What's the problem?" She asked back matter-of-factly.

Just learned it? Ruan Ange was shocked. Ning Wanqing saw his shocked expression and said naturally, "Why don't I read it to you?"

She lowered her head and glanced at the scrolls on the table. She picked up a scroll and said, "This scroll."

She had only read it once, but she could read it all without any problems. After reading it, she confidently placed the scroll in front of Ruan Ange. "Come and go. Come, take a look and see if I read it wrong."

Ruan Ange's expression could almost be described as "stunned," but time did not allow him to say too much. The person who reported the case in the file had been brought to them.

"How much do you remember about that incident?"

The person who came was a hunter who looked to be about 30 years old. He often went back and forth between the city and the city. He could hear some news from both inside and outside the city.

"In reply to Ninth Prince, the grasslands people still remember the situation at that time." He recalled, "At that time, there were seven or eight masked men in black. Each of them was about eight feet long and surrounded by a girl in a green dress. The grasslanders could not tell what she looked like, but they swore that if there was a portrait, they would be able to recognize it."

"Men, go and get the portrait of Xue Shu."

Not long after, the portrait of Xue Shu was taken out from the storehouse. The portrait was drawn by a painter based on his memory, and it was almost ninety percent restored.

When the hunter saw the person on the portrait, he immediately shouted, "It's this girl!"

"Last year, when the Grass People went to the mountains to watch the spring hunt, they passed by Ma Ziling. They originally wanted to save this girl, but the Grass People were alone. They wanted to report to the government and let the government handle it, but in the end, they didn't even see her when the government came."

He said, "After that, the grassland people also went to Ma Zi Ling to see the situation, but they did not see that person again."

At this point, the only thing they could confirm was that Xue Shu, who had disappeared for more than a year, had finally appeared at Ma Ziling. She had also found Xue Shu's jade pendant and an unknown trace of blood at Ma Ziling. Xue Shu was very likely to have been killed.

"Do you have any impression of those people's clothes?" Generally speaking, a certain fixed organization would have a uniform set of clothes. Now, they could only start from clothes and see if they could follow the clues and find out how Xue Shu and Xue Yong had been killed.

"It seems like there is a white pattern on the arm, but I can't tell what kind of secret organization it is." The hunters had started to mingle since they were young, and they had never heard of any sect or organization wearing a white piece of clothing.

"What's wrong with your face?" After sending the hunters away, Ning Wanqing looked at the haggard faces of the two people and was very confused. She just did not know what organization it was that did it. Was it that painful? Didn't she know that it was not allowed to be investigated?

Qu Sifeng explained, "That organization should be hiding well. We might not be able to find it in a short period of time."

"Can't we just send someone to find out?" She did not think much of it.

"Sending someone to investigate would expose their identity and alert the enemy. The gains outweigh the gains." Ruan Ange shook his head helplessly.

She was speechless for a while. "Don't worry. Leave this matter to me."

"What are you going to do?" The two of them said in unison.

"Keep it a secret!" She giggled and said, "Give me a few days. I think there will definitely be results."

Sure enough, three days later, she received good news. "I heard that the organization with the white logo on the clothes is called 'Purging Qing Cult'. It is a sect with a few years of foundation, but it seems that it has never done anything out of line."

"Purging Qing Cult?" These three words were like thunder in Ruan Ange's ears. How could he not know about the Guan Qing Sect? Wasn't this the sect under the Imperial Advisor?

Outsiders might know that the emperor of the Gilt Kingdom had other methods to govern the country, but they might not know that there was a secret hidden in this vast imperial palace that could only be seen and not spread.

That was the fact that the emperor of the Gilt Kingdom had always advocated the path of immortality since he was young. The so-called prosperity and prosperity of the Hope Dynasty was just an excuse. Twenty years ago, he had secretly sent people to find Fang Shichao to refine pills. This' Clear Penetration Sect 'was founded by Dao Songzi, whom he loved the most. He had been secretly brewing immortality medicine for the emperor.
