78. The worst outcome(1/2)
The thorough investigation was somewhat difficult.
The main reason was that the merchants at the front of the station were not very willing to cooperate. Everyone was clamoring for the steward to come out and explain the situation. Because of these people's unwillingness to cooperate, things quickly became a bit chaotic, and some merchants began to try to escape.
Here, and because there was no order from the stewards, the guards did not understand what was going on, so naturally they did not stop it immediately.
Then……
Things started to get a little out of hand.
"Fifteen merchants died, as well as the guards they brought." When Chong Xingzi saw Su Anran again, his face looked a little ugly, "The number of deaths caused by this round of chaos has far exceeded the previous ones.
That happened in the courtyard."
"Is there a parasite lurking in it?" Su Anran asked.
Chong Xingzi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I don't know... I can't tell whether there are parasites mixed in, but anyway, the conflict and chaos broke out too fast. If no one among them is instigating, I
I will never believe it.”
Su Anran remained silent.
He was alarmed because Song Baiye told him that the person was dead, so he hurried over from the backyard, and happened to bump into Chong Xingzi, who had also received the news and came to clean up the mess - his three disciples each had their own tasks, because
Considering Yun Kong’s temperament, so
Oki Hoshiko asked him to be responsible for appeasing the merchants and the workers of the Qiyuan family in the front yard. But what he didn't expect was that it was precisely because of Yun Kong's lack of ability to respond on the spot that when someone instigated it and it quickly turned into a conflict,
Yun Kong was a little at a loss.
If Su Anran hadn't arranged for Song Baiye to seal off the entire station early in the morning, someone might have escaped by now.
No one saw how Song Baiye took action.
But all the merchants and guards who tried to rush out of the front door or climb over the wall were killed by Song Baiye.
"Give the body to me." Su Anran said.
Chong Xingzi glanced at Su Anran, then nodded, turned and left.
Since Su Anran wants to take over the aftermath work in the front yard, of course he will not refuse. After all, the biggest problem now is to find out the parasites lurking in the chamber of commerce as soon as possible, so he really doesn't have time to properly deal with the problem in the front yard.
The chaos on the other side. As for how brutally Su Anran would use to solve this problem, Chong Xingzi didn't plan to take care of it. Anyway, if there was a big fight in the end, it would be Su Anran, and it would be a diplomatic dispute between them.
Su Anran naturally knew what Chong Xingzi was thinking.
But he didn't have any resentment or other emotions.
After all, the Kunlun Sect is now in Beiling, so many secular affairs are naturally somewhat constrained. Because every move of Chong Xingzi represents the Kunlun Sect, so he has to consider the attitude of the Qiyuan family and the Northern Tang Dynasty.
attitude, so some things can obviously be solved quickly, but they have to be solved in a roundabout way because of the delay in these things.
This would naturally be quite troublesome.
Su Anran somewhat understood the concerns of what Qingyu said before.
Although he also has some intelligence, and has been in the mysterious world for more than 20 years, he has naturally learned some skills in dealing with things - even if it is a white sword, it will turn yellow after being left for 20 years, right?
-So Su Anran knows very well that in fact he is not a qualified candidate for the head, let alone a suitable one, because his way of handling things is relatively simple and crude.
Or to put it simply.
Su Anran has a certain ability and skills in dealing with things, and has some communication skills and organizational skills. After all, the earth is a deep dye vat. Although it is not as skilled as Xuanjie, as long as it is not a person with emotional and IQ defects, the university can
Two years after graduation, after being severely beaten by the iron fist of society, they will grow up rapidly.
but.
Growing up after being severely beaten by society only changes your way of thinking. If you have not been trained in a specific position, you will still lose some experience after all.
For example, Su Anran didn't understand the emperor's methods at all.
But fortunately, he doesn't need to do this, and there are think tanks around him, so some things that are rough to handle due to lack of experience, after getting the guidance of others, he will naturally be able to handle them perfectly. After all,
What Su Anran lacks most is quick wit - this is why after he discovered something happened to Taoist Yunming's courtyard, he immediately asked Song Baiye to seal off the courtyard and then the entire residence.
Because no one knows Song Baiye's value better than him.
"white night."
Others don't know how those who tried to escape died, but Su Anran doesn't know.
After a low murmur, a figure soon appeared next to Su Anran.
"I want to know their memories." Su Anran pointed to the nearly fifty corpses on the ground, "You must find out in the shortest time whether there are parasites among them, and what the plans of these parasites are."
Song Baiye glanced at the corpses on the ground, his eyes slightly disgusted.
In the past, he was used to eating monks from the Immortality Realm (the Realm of Life and the Condensing Soul Realm), and even the monks from the Upper Immortal Realm (Earthly Immortal Realm) didn't eat less, so he suddenly saw such a bunch of low-level Immortality Realm (Yunling Realm).
The monk is naturally not very satisfied. Just like a person who is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, if you suddenly tell him that he has no money and can only drink porridge and pickles, he will definitely find it difficult to swallow.
However, this was a direct order from Su Anran, and Song Baiye did not dare to bargain.
He had seen the fate of a young butcher who was thrown out by Su Anran to work for nothing after haggling over the price.
Soon, a layer of black material like sludge emerged beneath these corpses.
Then these corpses slowly sank on this layer of mud and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
These corpses had been "eaten" by Song Baiye.
"Don't look at the memories from the beginning to the back, just look at the last memories of their lifetimes, and then look from the back to the front." Su Anran said, "I only need the last memories of their lifetimes, I don't need the rest.
."
Song Baiye curled his lips: "Dad, death is like a lamp going out. This memory is not something I can just see if I want to... Especially, the parasite died the moment it was infected, even if I was there
If you eat it immediately, your memory will still be greatly damaged."
Su Anran also knew this situation, but there was no other way at the moment.
Now that they are being led by their opponents, this is not the result that Su Anran wants: "You should do your best... If you find that the memory of the parasite cannot be read, remember not to digest them, they will be spit out."
, I need to use them to identify others.”
Song Baiye rolled his eyes.
He now understood why the little butcher said his father was stingy.
Do you still want to vomit out the food that is in your stomach?
Too much!
But who said Su Anran was the father? Naturally, Song Baiye didn't dare to say anything and could only follow Su Anran's orders.
But soon, Song Baiye frowned.
In this corner where no one noticed, corpses began to appear one after another on the ground.
In the blink of an eye, nearly thirty corpses appeared.
Seeing this scene, Su Anran was shocked: "These... are all parasites?"
"I can't be sure." Song Baiye hesitated, "The memories of these people are basically blank, or they are chaotic. I can't see anything useful at all. And let alone the past month, just
Even their childhood memories are severely missing."
"What about the rest?"
"These are normal." Song Baiye said, "There are some... defective products in the goods they transported, and there are also some that seem to be not very clean? They thought their whereabouts were exposed, so they
Eager to escape."
"Something not very clean?" Su Anran frowned, "Take me to see it."
"oh."
Song Baiye quickly brought Su Anran to the warehouse.
At this time, there are still guards from the Qiyuan family guarding the warehouse, but their spirits are not good-looking and they look worried.
Especially after seeing Su Anran coming, these people were a little frightened.
"I want to inspect a batch of goods." Su Anran said directly, and then gave a list of names, "Move out all the goods of these merchants."
Naturally, these warehouse guards did not dare to refuse Su Anran's request and quickly became busy.
Not long after, people began to carry the goods one after another.
The quantity of these goods is not low, there are hundreds of boxes, and the items inside are also diverse, including minerals, medicinal materials and some food, porcelain, seeds, etc., and there are even some that can be used as
The base materials for alchemy are liquid medicine, ointments, etc. And the destinations for delivery are also diverse, but basically they all take Yunzhou City as the core and radiate out in all directions.
Su Anran quickly scanned the goods with his spiritual consciousness.
I didn't notice anything unusual at first.
But he knew that it was impossible for Song Baiye to make mistakes by directly reading the memory, so he slowed down the speed of spiritual exploration and changed to checking box by box.
This time, Su Anran quickly discovered something was wrong.
Medicinal materials, food, seeds, medicinal liquids, ointments... and other things that can be "eaten" have very subtle active reactions.
After Su Anran's careful and serious inspection, he finally discovered that these "foods" were all infested with some kind of parasite-like things. At this time, these parasites were in a "dormant" state, and they were in contact with each other.
