"It's hard to say. "The wind swept away the clouds from the wings, and in the blink of an eye, half of the fish meat was wiped out," the Lanjiang River flowed all the way through David's most prosperous town, with countless boats coming and going, and the shore was also densely populated, but Longhu Lake was basically barren and swampy at this time, and it was uninhabited. Even if there are any monsters, we don't know, except for Yuan Jiadang and your laborers who repair the embankment. ”

"You've been there all day?" Chitose said with a chilled black plum kidney bean, "What's the catch?"

"There is no one left in Yuan Jiadang, and the fence at the scene of the incident was crushed, the house collapsed, and there were many blood stains. By the way, I found some footprints and trailing marks on the tidal flats, and this-"

He took out a fanged from his bosom and spread it in his palm: "It should be the teeth of some kind of creature, but not like the lion and tiger." ”

The canine teeth of the liger are like daggers, with wide arcs at the top and at the bottom, fine serrations at the edges, and the big teeth of dogs are similar, all of which are very suitable for biting. But the tooth he had taken out was longer than his middle finger, but it was as slender as a nail. "Could it be a crocodile?"

Chitose reached out and took it, looking closely.

"These teeth are brittle and thin, and they fall out from time to time, so they are certainly not ligres. "The big tooth gold of the lion tiger is very expensive, and it cannot be dropped easily, otherwise it cannot be hunted. She pointed to a groove at the tip of her tooth and said, "See if this groove is hollow, and there is a poison pipe buried in it." ”

The grooves were thinner than a hair's hair, and thanks to her good eyesight, she could see without the help of external objects. "Beneath the fangs is a venom sac, and when it hurts, the venom is injected into the muscles of the prey along the tooth canal. ”

Shi Congyi was stunned when he heard it: "What effect?"

"Then you'll have to try. Chitose walked to the side and placed the fangs and a few pill bottles together, "The human muscle is loose and won't let it burst its teeth, have you seen its prey?"

"It's a big buffalo. Shi Congyi admired her eyes, "There is only a bull's head left, and the owner of this fangs probably doesn't like to gnaw, and the teeth are embedded in the skull, like nails." ”

He also has a lot of experience in hunting, and he can see that an animal with such long fangs is probably not bad, at least not much smaller than a buffalo.

Yan Saburo crossed his arms and watched: "How long has the cow been dead?"

"Ten days?" Shi Congyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It rotted quickly by the water's edge, and when I found it, it was all swollen." ”

The smell is so beautiful. "There was mud all over the side, and it seems that after the death of the cow, there was a lot of water on the shore of the lake, and all traces were washed away. ”

"The venom inside has long since dried up. Chitose still carefully poured a little water into the fangs, and sure enough, the tip leaked liquid - the tooth tube was hollow. Then, she tried several reagents one by one and shook her head:

"No, it's too small to test. ”

The reagent in the bottle only changed its color slightly, from transparent to micronized. Yan Saburo nodded: "At least we know that it is not very toxic." ”

If it is the poison of the soul stone, as long as the tip of the needle is large, it can kill people. The size of the dose is just a difference in the lethal rate.

Chitose snorted, "We'd better go and see it on the ground." ”

Yan Saburo asked Shi Congyi: "Dozens of days of torrential rain have caused flash floods, has the distance between Yuanjiadang's village and the water's edge become very close?"

"Well, it used to be ten miles from the village to the reeds, but now it's less than three. "The so-called living near the water and the spring flowers are just the vision of the people in the city, the lake is damp and there is a danger of flooding, and the small fishing village and the waterfront must be kept at a certain distance.

He asked Yan Sanlang: "Do you also think that hurtful things crawl out of the lake? But I have read the confessions of the residents of the Yuan family, they have lived there for generations, and there are no fierce beasts in Longhu." ”

Otherwise, how could Wei Guo plan to expand Shengyi there, and there are monsters rampant at the feet of the Son of Heaven?

Yan Saburo doesn't see it that way: "How many years has Lanjiang not seen monsters eating people?" Aren't there still endless incidents of hurting people now?" "Have any villagers seen the appearance of monsters?"

"At first, the fishermen disappeared at the water's edge, and no one survived. Later, monsters attack the village at night and drag away the living. According to eyewitnesses, the attacking monsters did not look the same. Some resemble crocodiles, but their heads are large and round, and their skin is pure black and non-reflective, while others are green and can float in the air like a fog, revealing only silk-like things, like tails. ”

Based on this description alone, of course, Yan Saburo didn't know what it was. Chitose frowned: "Silk silk, mist, well, we'd better go and see it on the spot." ”

"Depart early tomorrow morning. Yan Saburo had this intention, and he originally planned to go to Longkouyan to have a look. Bai Chenghuan said that his design was fine, the quality of the project was also qualified, and he had known each other for more than a year, and Yan Saburo still gave full trust to his profession.

Shi Congyi was a little embarrassed: "Ming'er, I was ordered to go to Hexiang Town. ”

"Let's just go by ourselves. "Yan Saburo didn't plan to take him with him.

"Then I'll find you a guide. Shi Congyi hurriedly said, "The villagers who took me today, I can take you tomorrow." They are familiar with the way, otherwise it will be very difficult for you to find Yuan Jiadang. ”

Yan Saburo did not shirk.

Then the two discussed the affairs of the royal court. Compared with Xiao Mi and He Xiaokite, Shi Congyi has a straight stomach and a straight stomach, and basically has to answer all questions. He also understood Yan Saburo's current passive situation, and sympathized: "It's a big deal to admit your mistake and return Xicheng." The king will surely protect you, and will not be harsh. ”

"If you want to be a Ming Jun, you can't be too partial. Yan Saburo had a different opinion. He has a good personal relationship with Xiao Mi, but he doesn't think that he can sit back and relax, "We still have to find out the cause of the embankment collapse as soon as possible." ”

Shi Congyi patted him on the shoulder: "Zhang Xianlong has already taken over the investigation." ”

"I know. Yan Saburo said quietly, "Seven days ago, he took away the accounts, tables and other materials in Bai Chenghuan's hand for review. ”

"He shouldn't frame you. Shi Congyi touched his head, "Zhang Xianlong has a reputation for being honest and capable, and many ministers support him. ”

Yan Saburo bowed slightly: "The reason why officials support him is not only because he is honest and capable. ”

After eating and drinking, Shi Congyi wiped his mouth and said goodbye and went home.

After he left, Chitose crossed his arms and hummed, "A group of villains!"

Chicken food releases light insects, Yan Saburo knows that the deep-seated reason why many officials of the country support Zhang Xianlong is probably because he is dissatisfied with him.

Yan Shichu had a title but no title, and he did not enter the court as an official, so he was an idle person, so he could undertake such a huge project as the expansion of Xicheng. Otherwise, Wei Wangting has always been very jealous of the collusion between officials and businessmen, and he should not even think about directly contracting the project to officials.

Many ministers think that this person is obviously talented but refuses to share the worries of the monarch, and turns his head to take on such a big project to make a profit from it.
