Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 唐朝诡事录之西行 Episode 26

Lu Lingfeng knew very well that Thrawn was powerful, and everyone was silent out of fear. In order to reveal the truth, he decided to set fire to the dragon's tendons and force out the truth through a public test. After the dragon tendon was lit, he asked everyone to smell the smoke one by one. When everyone saw the white smoke coming out of the dragon tendon, they were convinced. When Thrawn saw this, he also relaxed a little. Some people saw this and were eager to make contributions. One of them couldn't help but reveal that those files were burned in a fire three years ago. Thrawn also hurriedly confessed, fearing that he would be tested.

He said that what everyone said was true, but he was afraid of being held accountable by his superiors. Lu Lingfeng visited the scene in person and found signs of burning the cabinet. Suolong told him that the county magistrate did not pursue the case, but let Sima Liang balance his merits and demerits, and finally settled the matter. Lu Lingfeng took the opportunity to talk to Song Shang and came up with the following: Although there were no homicides in those cases, there were several missing persons cases.

Lu Lingfeng summoned Suo Long again, and Song Shang was also present. He explained that the front yard and backyard were on fire at the same time, and in an emergency, the backyard could only be saved first. He noticed that Thrawn was a little embarrassed, so he hinted at the threat. However, Lu Lingfeng directly ordered Suolong to do things. Suolong suddenly discovered that the dragon tendon in Lu Lingfeng's hand did not seem to be able to detect lies, and Lu Lingfeng sternly told Suolong to shut up.

At this time, Wang Loach came to report that Qingxi was missing and hoped that Lu Lingfeng could help find her. He also mentioned that Baokang had difficulty with his legs and feet, so he could only report the crime. Suolong saw that Lu Lingfeng was an upright official and expressed that he would follow him in the future, but Lu Lingfeng told him to just do his job well. Lu Lingfeng noticed a cat when he entered the house. Wang Loach also mentioned that Baokang had a bad temper, and said with a cold expression that Qingxi disappeared in the night market.

Lu Lingfeng offered to give Wang Loach money to take care of Baokang. Wang Loach thought this job was good and agreed. After Lu Lingfeng left, Wang Loach expressed his desire to beat Baokang to avenge Qingxi. The shop owner told Lu Lingfeng that Qingxi had indeed come to return the book, and Wu Cai chased him out at that time. Lu Lingfeng asked who Wu Cai was, and Suolong told him that Wu Cai was a scoundrel. He also said that they wanted to read the biographies of Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming. Lu Lingfeng thought this idea was not bad. However, Wu Cai was already dead and there was no corpse here, so Lu Lingfeng called Su Wuming to do an autopsy. When Suolong heard that it was Su Wuming, he immediately recognized the two of them that the shop owner was talking about before.

Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng both felt that Suolong talked too much. Lao Fei found out that there was a murder and felt that this matter was not simple. Su Wuming saw an old man who came to the inn looking for someone but was kicked out. After asking, he learned that someone was missing again. Lu Lingfeng went to Sima Liang to learn about the case, but Sima Liang insulted Lu Lingfeng. Lu Lingfeng couldn't help but want to take action. Fortunately, Suolong blocked it in time to avoid escalation of the conflict.

Lao Fei complained that Yunding County was too barren. Lu Lingfeng approached the governor and wanted to discuss the matter, but Song Shang stood by to defend Sima Liang, saying that his merits outweighed his faults and advised Lu Lingfeng not to be too harsh. When the governor saw that Lu Lingfeng was investigating to the end and found that someone was suspected of human trafficking, he was horrified and tried to shift the responsibility to Song Shang. Lu Lingfeng did not show mercy to the governor.

Hearing that everyone wanted to go to the night market, Lu Lingfeng hurriedly grabbed Su Wuming and dissuaded him from going. Lao Fei comforted Cherry, saying that the two would not really fight. Su Wuming exchanged information with Lu Lingfeng and revealed that he was going to Yunding Fairy Street. Lu Lingfeng said that he had the same intention. Aunt Liu told Lu Lingfeng that when Qingxi talked with Wang Loach last night, Wang Loach had revealed the idea of ​​killing Baokang and was interested in Qingxi. It was probably him who kidnapped Qingxi. Aunt Liu also mentioned that Wang Loach was wearing brown clothes at the time.

Lu Lingfeng found Wang Loach, and Su Wuming also noticed Wang Loach's clothes, speculating that it might be related to the Golden Leopard. Wang Loach claimed to be going to the night market, but he hid something. Su Wuming directly revealed that the same material as Wang Loach's clothes was found in Wu Cai's home. According to what Wu Cai said during his lifetime, he had planned to treat Wang Loach to a drink after he got rich. Unexpectedly, he encountered Qingxi and was besieged by gangsters on the way. Wang Loach saw this and wanted to rescue him.
