Chapter 92: Holy Envoy
Jiang Lingyin's face was gloomy, and he stared at the captive in front of him, and said sternly: "Tell me, what the hell are you doing?"
The captives were trembling, hanging their heads, not daring to say a word. Lu Tinglin said, "There is no 'boss' among this group. He may have run away."
Jiang Lingyin snorted coldly, took out a truth serum pill from the space, handed it to a captive in front of her, and said, "Eat this, I'll ask you questions, you answer them, if you dare to tell a lie, you'll be in trouble!"
The prisoner looked at the pill in horror, and under Jiang Lingyin's coercion, he swallowed it with trembling hands.
Jiang Lingyin immediately asked: "Why are you holding this evil ceremony here?"
The captive's eyes became dull, and he answered mechanically: "We just want to ask the Holy Envoy for a favor."
Jiang Lingyin frowned and continued to ask: "What do you want him to do?"
The captive said woodenly: "Please give me the power to dominate the world."
"Please ask him to make me rich overnight!"
"Please let me marry a beautiful bride..."
"Please let my wife give birth to a son."
"Please hope to pass the imperial examination next year..."
Everyone was speechless after hearing this.
Ye Wenjing said: "This is definitely someone from the Fuhua Society."
Jiang Lingyin shouted angrily: "It's wishful thinking! Where is the Holy Envoy now?"
The captive said: "We have never seen his true face, we only know that he has great magical powers."
Jiang Lingyin bit her lip, thought for a moment and then asked, "Then how did you get in touch with this 'Holy Envoy'?"
The prisoner answered truthfully: "Every time he took the initiative to send people to inform us of the gathering place and time."
Jiang Lingyin's eyes became more fierce: "Did he say anything special this time?"
The prisoner shook his head: "No, just like usual."
Lu Tinglin interrupted and said, "It seems that this 'holy envoy' is very cautious and difficult to deal with."
Jiang Lingyin glared at the captives: "Then do you know where the lair of this 'Holy Envoy' is? Do you always hold gatherings here?"
The prisoner looked confused: "We really don't know. We meet in different places every time."
Jiang Lingyin clenched her fists in anger: "A bunch of useless things!"
At this time, Ye Wenjing came over and said, "Ayin, don't waste your energy on them. It's better to hand them over to the government. We can't waste time on them."
Jiang Lingyin nodded slightly: "This is the only way, we must find that 'holy envoy'!"
But one of the captives suddenly added: "The Holy Messenger appeared once, and he seemed to have a limp in his left foot."
Jiang Lingyin's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Anything else? Is there anything else you can remember about his appearance?"
The prisoner frowned and tried to recall: "He was wearing a mask at the time, so I couldn't see his face clearly. I only remember that he was tall and wearing a black robe."
Jiang Lingyin nodded thoughtfully: "Did he carry any iconic items with him?"
The prisoner shook his head: "I didn't notice it."
Lu Tinglin said: "Even if it's just this little clue, it's better than nothing. The left foot is lame, this is a key feature."
Jiang Lingyin looked at everyone: "Everyone remember this feature, let's continue to track down and bring this 'holy envoy' to justice!"
To hand over the prisoners to the government, Ye Wenjing has to step in.
He sent Sang Tao with his seal and led people to escort the captives to Huaixi County to find the county magistrate.
Sang Tao carried the seal and rode at full speed towards Huaixi County.
Arriving in Huaixi County, Sang Tao went straight to the county governor's mansion.
When the county magistrate saw Ye Wenjing's seal, he did not dare to delay and immediately arranged for people to receive the prisoners.
The news that Ye Wenjing left Beijing and headed south had already spread throughout the capital.
It’s just that Ye Wenjing was traveling incognito, so his whereabouts are difficult to grasp.
Sang Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the government officials taking the captives away. He then hurriedly set out on his return journey to report to Ye Wenjing.
Jiang Lingyin and the others quickly cleaned up the scene of the human sacrifice, but the scene before them was heartbreaking.
Two girls had already lost their breath, their bodies lying coldly on the ground, their pale faces seemed to be telling of the unwillingness of the passing of life.
Another one had his wrists just cut, and blood was gushing out, staining the ground beneath him red.
Deep in the cave, there were several other people who were knocked unconscious.
They lay there in a mess, unconscious.
Jiang Lingyin, Baihu and others did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly launched a search and rescue operation.
They carried torches and groped their way forward cautiously in the darkness, each step filled with tension and worry.
Jiang Lingyin's eyes were firm and anxious. She checked every corner carefully, fearing that she would miss any trapped woman.
The white fox, with her lithe figure, nimbly shuttled through the narrow passages, calling softly, "Girls, don't be afraid, we are here to save you."
Chu Tianxun and Lu Tinglin worked hard to move the stones that blocked the road, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.
Cun Huaijin and his sister also followed closely behind, helping to take care of the injured who had been found.
In a low cave, Jiang Lingyin found an unconscious girl.
She half-knelt down, gently held the girl in her arms, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, girl, we will take you home."
They carefully brought these poor women out of the cave and rode non-stop back to Juelu Inn.
As soon as we arrived at the inn.
Jiang Lingyin hurriedly found the innkeeper and said anxiously, "Boss, please help spread the news. Just say that we have rescued some missing women, and ask the families who have lost their daughters nearby to come and claim them."
Seeing this, the innkeeper also realized that the situation was urgent.
He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, girl, I'll do it right away!"
As time passed, Jiang Lingyin and others became restless in the inn.
It's so miserable.
It is not easy for anyone to raise a daughter.
Finally, there was a noisy sound of footsteps and crying outside the inn.
The first group to arrive was a couple dressed simply.
Their faces were haggard and their eyes were bloodshot.
As soon as he entered the door, he asked in a trembling voice: "My daughter, is my daughter here?"
Jiang Lingyin hurried forward to comfort them and took them to identify it.
When the woman saw her daughter lying unconscious on the bed, tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
He rushed over and hugged him tightly, repeating: "My son, you have suffered."
Then, several more families came hurriedly.
Some cried with joy when they found their daughters, while others were extremely anxious when they couldn't find them.
Jiang Lingyin and her colleagues comforted the family members while continuing to wait.
At this time, an old man walked into the inn with the help of his family, looking around anxiously.
When he saw his granddaughter lying in the corner, he burst into tears and said, "My dear granddaughter, grandpa finally found you."
As more and more families arrived, the inn was filled with cries and shouts.
Jiang Lingyin watched these scenes of joy and sorrow.
He secretly swore in his heart that he must bring the evil "Holy Messenger" to justice.
