Chapter 358: Sanhuang County
# 358. Sanhuang County
【TWO: I’ve been investigating the "Blood Runs Three Thousand Miles" case, thinking that such a major event couldn’t possibly be concealed. But Xu Qi’an, let me tell you, this case is incredibly strange.
【I flew along the border of Chuzhou for three days and nights but haven’t located the site of the supposed massacre. However, I did notice something odd. I encountered a small band of barbarian cavalry, killed them, and summoned their souls for questioning. They had no knowledge of the “Blood Runs Three Thousand Miles” incident.】
Li Miaozhen had directly flown north on her flying sword, arriving far faster than Xu Qi’an—like comparing taking a flight to a cruise and road trip.
Xu Qi’an typed a reply: 【I already know about this. The case isn’t as simple as it seems.】
*Furthermore, “Blood Runs Three Thousand Miles” is an idiom, not a literal description of slaughter. Sister, could you read more books for once…* he thought with mild exasperation.
Li Miaozhen was astonished: 【What? You already knew? Truly impressive.】
*It’s not as godlike as you imagine—I did the same as you: killed and summoned souls. The only difference is you dealt with a small cavalry squad, and I interrogated a barbarian leader…* Xu Qi’an continued: 【Have you discovered anything else?】
Li Miaozhen replied: 【I did notice something peculiar. In Chuzhou, goods are incredibly cheap—whether it’s lodging, meals, or other purchases. Five taels of silver go a long way. In contrast, in the capital, five taels vanish in an instant.】
