Chapter 418 Tracking

Mo Hua told Situ Fang the news he had heard.

Situ Fang thought of the poor orphans and widows, and frowned, very angry.

"How can this be!"

This is making money from the dead and eating up the whole family!

The next day, Situ Fang took the monks of the Dao Ting Division to find Wang Lai and others in the gambling house, took them to the Dao Ting Division, and interrogated them.

By the way, they returned the spiritual stones they had extorted.

Situ Fang compensated the family of the mine repairer with these spiritual stones again, but he could not do anything about Wang Lai and others.

Wang Lai and others forcibly demanded compensation for the mine repairer and took most of the compensation spiritual stones for themselves, which was not a serious crime.

The Dao Ting Division could not impose a heavy sentence.

Situ Fang wanted to dig up their old accounts and punish them for multiple crimes.

These ruffians were a scourge to the village, and they must have a bad record.

But the mine repairer was weak and afraid of retaliation, so no one dared to point it out.

Situ Fang had no choice but to lock them up for a month, and then used the wooden punishment to beat them 30 times before releasing them.

After Wang Lai and his companions were released from the Dao Prison, the first thing they did was to go to the home of the deceased miner with a bunch of ruffians, threatening and extorting, snatching the spiritual stones back, and even injuring several people, and threatened:

"If you dare to report to the Dao Court again, I will make your family completely extinct!"

This is what Situ Fang said to Mo Hua.

In the small courtyard of the cave, Situ Fang gnashed his teeth with anger.

"I wanted to arrest them and put them in the Dao Prison, but was stopped by several older officers..."

"They told me that it was useless. They have seen a lot of this kind of thing over the years."

"Unless you really kill these ruffians, they are like dog-skin plasters, you can't get rid of them."

"Caught and imprisoned, imprisoned and released..."

"I am the director of the Dao Ting Division. I am not afraid of them, but in the end, the poor miners who are bullied by them will suffer..."

Situ Fang looked helpless.

After chatting for a while, Situ Fang left with a sad face.

Mo Hua sat in the yard, frowning and thinking about something.

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi followed Mr. Zhuang to learn the formation, went out, passed by the yard, and saw Mo Hua sitting under a big tree in deep thought.

Bai Zisheng ran to Mo Hua and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Mo Hua thought about it and told Wang Lai and others.

Bai Zisheng was angry when he heard this: "Kill them!"

Bai Zixi also frowned slightly.

Mo Hua said: "We must follow the rules and abide by the Dao Law. If they have not committed a crime that deserves death, it is not good to kill people casually..."

Bai Zisheng muttered: "I think they deserve to die..."

Mo Hua glanced at him.

Bai Zisheng was silent.

Then he was stunned again, looking at Mo Hua suspiciously, "Are you thinking of something bad?"

Mo Hua said unhappily: "How can it be called bad thoughts?"

"You must want to cheat people..." Bai Zisheng said.

Bai Zixi also looked at Mo Hua in confusion.

"It's not cheating people..." Mo Hua thought for a while and said: "I plan to follow them secretly to see what they do on weekdays and whether there is any handle."

Since these monks have committed many evil deeds, they will definitely leave some clues.

"Follow?" Bai Zisheng's eyes lit up.

"You can't go." Mo Hua said.

Bai Zisheng was disappointed, "Why?"

"You don't know how to hide."

"I don't need it..."

"Of course!" Mo Hua raised his tiny eyebrows, "You can only follow them if you hide your body. If you follow them openly, aren't you treating them as fools?"

"Okay..."

Bai Zisheng was not interested.

Bai Zixi coughed lightly, reminded Bai Zisheng, and glanced at Mo Hua.

Bai Zisheng was stunned, and suddenly realized, and said to Mo Hua:

"Yes, don't you know how to hide?"

"My hiding formation is not effective..." Mo Hua evaded.

Bai Zixi shook his head and said, "Your concealment array works very well, it's the robe you use that's not good."

Bai Zisheng nodded repeatedly when he heard it:

"That's right, you are my junior brother, how could your array be bad, it's the robe you use that's not good..."

"I'll prepare a good robe for you, you help us draw the concealment array, and then we'll go track those bad guys together."

Bai Zisheng's calculations were clattering, and then he said confidently:

"I'm your senior brother, how can I let you take risks alone? I feel guilty about this."

Mo Hua looked at him silently, "Are you guilty about your 'conscience' or your 'playfulness'..."

Bai Zisheng's thoughts were seen through by Mo Hua, and he said embarrassedly:

"Both, both."

He has been detained by Mr. Zhuang these days, and he has a headache learning those complicated and advanced arrays.

Now that he can go out and play with Mo Hua for a few days, he naturally has to seize the opportunity.

Mo Hua asked in confusion: "Where is Master? Aren't you going to learn the formation?"

Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi have been learning formations these days.

That is, the kind of formations that they cannot learn.

"It's okay, Master hasn't taught me anything new these days, just take time to review."

Mo Hua was still a little hesitant.

Bai Zisheng looked at him eagerly.

Bai Zixi's eyes were also sparkling.

Mo Hua sighed, "Okay, but you must be low-key and cautious..."

"Listen to me." Mo Hua emphasized again.

The junior brother said so, and the junior brother and sister nodded obediently.

After that, Mo Hua began to draw the concealment formation.

The Taoist robes were too cumbersome. They couldn't put on another robe outside their clothes. It was okay when they were hiding, but if they were not hiding, they would be very conspicuous.

And it was not very convenient to move.

Bai Zixi picked several pieces of clothing for Mo Hua.

Mo Hua combined the formations, picked and chose, and finally chose the cloak-shaped cloak.

This kind of hooded cloak, when worn outside, can keep warm and block the wind and dust. With a hood, it can also cover the face.

In Xiaohuangzhou, the weather is hot, so there is no need to keep warm, so Mo Hua chose three thinner cloaks.

These cloaks are made with special techniques and are all excellent spiritual tools.

Mo Hua drew a concealment array on them.

Then the three tried it and the effect was very good.

At least nothing can be found with the naked eye.

Of course, Mo Hua's spiritual sense is too strong, and he can still find his junior brother and junior sister, but Bai Zisheng and the other two can't find Mo Hua.

After getting ready, the three began to follow.

The target of the follow-up is Wang Lai.

Wang Lai, also known as Wang Laipi, is the leader of this gang of hooligans.

He is not tall, but his cultivation is not low. He is at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. He is the most profound among this group of hooligans.

He has earth-type spiritual roots and follows the path of body refining. His skills are quite standard. He is good at using a ring-headed knife, which is called "Mountain Knife".

He is idle and makes trouble on weekdays.

When he has spiritual stones, he eats, drinks, gambles and prostitutes.

The street he often goes to is called Jinhua Street, located in the north of Nanyue City. It is the most prosperous place in the entire Nanyue City.

Of course, it is also the most corrupt place.

There are all kinds of places, such as brothels, brothels, restaurants and gambling houses.

There are also some places that Mo Hua has never seen and can't even think of...

Mo Hua was a little curious, but he still held back and didn't go in to take a look.

Anyway, it must not be a good place.

Forget about himself, but his junior brother and junior sister are also with him. He can't lead them astray, otherwise the master will definitely hit his head.

Although Jinhua Street is prosperous, it is also divided into different levels.

The only places Wang Lai could go to were some remote brothels, gambling houses in narrow places, and low-end wine shops.

He lived a life of drunkenness and dreams, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and after squandering all the money he had made, Wang Lai began to "earn" spirit stones.

He had to "earn" spirit stones, as he still owed money to the gambling houses.

A horse cannot grow fat without night grass, and a man cannot become rich without windfall.

As Mo Hua expected, Wang Lai's methods of "earning" spirit stones were all shady.

There were stealing, cheating, trapping, and robbing.

There were rewards earned by beating people to clear the way for a disciple of a noble family in Nanyue City; there were protection fees extorted from small vendors;

There were gambling funds cheated from foreign cultivators by colluding in gambling houses; there were property robbed on the way;

There were also spirit stones extorted by finding a female cultivator in a brothel to "scam"...

Mo Hua was really amazed.

There is only one way for a miner to earn spiritual stones, which is to work diligently, but it is hard and tiring.

And this Wang Lai, who does not do his job, spends his days in debauchery...

The more diligent, the harder, the harder life.

This world really bullies honest cultivators.

Mo Hua was a little emotional, and at the same time, he was a little confused.

He remembered that Lu Ming said that when Wang Lai and other ruffians really had no spiritual stones, they would go to the mines, work as miners for a few days, dig for a few days, and earn a few spiritual stones.

But these days, Wang Lai did have a dry bag, without a single spiritual stone.

But he never entered a mine, nor dug a mine.

"Something is wrong..."

Mo Hua frowned.

It seems that this Wang Lai has no connection with the mine.

This should be unlikely.

Mo Hua waited patiently, and after a few days, Mo Hua found that Wang Lai was finally going to the mine.

Because he found an old miner and whispered:

"Inside the mine, there are high-quality ores hidden by the Lu family. Let's steal some, and we won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives..."

Stealing ores...

Mo Hua's pupils shrank slightly.

The five missing miners seemed to have died in the mine because of stealing ores...

And stealing ores is a taboo for miners.

Why would the five miners who died tragically suddenly think of stealing ores?

Mo Hua looked at Wang Lai, with a cold light in his eyes.
