Chapter Ninety-Seven: Gift-Giving (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The catchers went in and out, and soon there was a discovery.
Under the charred table in a room, there was still a child's arm that had not been cleaned, and the arm was pitch black and stiff, and no more clues could be seen, but at least it could be confirmed that Shen Kuan's words were correct.
Liu Yulan's body shook, the house is Aunt Yang's house, so I'm afraid this arm is...... She covered her mouth and felt sick to her stomach.
Fang Xile asked Shen to wait outside the village for Liu Yulan, she was an ordinary person, and she would definitely not be able to stand these things when she saw them at first glance.
The living dead have no reason, so someone set the fire, and if it is not necessary to clean up the scene in order to kill the living dead, then remove all impossible situations, and the last one is the answer even if it is ridiculous.
This group of living dead is artificially created!
What are they for? Is it only the village of Big Poplar that has encountered the living dead?
In order to avoid high taxes, many small villages hide in the mountains, live in isolation, and only occasionally send people to the county seat to exchange for necessities.
It's scary to think about!
A team of dozens of people searched the mountains carefully, but found no clues, and no living dead were found.
Nearby villages and county towns were notified, and several people returned to Xichuan County.
Nishikawa-gun, the county watchman's office
Qin Yuchuan and Bao Rensheng were silent, their expressions solemn.
All this turned out to be true.
How many villages have disappeared before they know it, and where have the living dead gone?
"I think we should start with a census. ”
"What is a census?" Bao Rensheng asked suspiciously.
Fang Xile coughed, and accidentally said the words of his previous life again.
"It is to send people to visit all parts of Xichuan County, draw a map, which indicates in detail whether there are villages, what their names are, and how many people, and after the investigation, let the nearby counties regularly send people to check and report the situation. ”
Bao Rensheng and Qin Yuchuan glanced at each other, and Bao Rensheng nodded: "This method is good, with such a map, we are no longer afraid of the village disappearing quietly, and those wicked people will have no chance!"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Qin Yuchuan: "The king of the county is really discerning, Commander Fang is not only strong in martial arts, courageous, but also able to give advice, a rare talent!"
Fang Xile sweated, standing on the shoulders of a 5,000-year-old giant, where is her wisdom.
This matter has come to an end for the time being, because there is no clue, there is no way to continue the investigation, so I can only hurry up and find out all the villages in Xichuan County, so that people can keep an eye on it.
I don't know if it's because of the tight attention, for a few months, no similar incidents have happened, and even the ghosts seem to be a little less, and it is difficult to have a peaceful life.
........
Spring is full of mixed flowers, and the grass is deep at the beginning of summer.
In the blink of an eye, from the warm spring day of March to the scorching heat of June.
The hundred-year-old locust tree cast a large shadow, and the guards shrank in the shadows to enjoy the shade, refusing to take a step, while fanning the cool breeze with their hands, while the east and west families gossiped for a short time.
"Why don't you go to the guard and hang around here?"
"That's not right, where is the great commander who has the courage to break in, and there is no need to guard it. When the guard finished speaking, he noticed that the other guard was standing straight, looking at him with pity in his eyes.
The guard hurriedly turned around, broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly felt cool.
"Great, great, Commander!"
"Look at it!"
Fang Xile waved his hand, too lazy to bother with this person, and walked into the courtyard.
Originally, the scenery of Yufu was very beautiful, and now it is very beautiful after Fang Xile's arrangement, the small bridge and flowing water, the pavilion and the flying flowers, there is a unique style.
"Sister Yulan, are you checking the accounts?"
Liu Yulan stayed in Xuanyin Division because she had nowhere to go, and when she heard that she would settle accounts, Fang Xile happily handed over all the account books, leaving these troubles behind, and suddenly felt refreshed.
How can there be fun in cultivation, the feeling of constantly becoming strong and making oneself full of power is fascinating, and people can't help but explore a higher level, this is the fun of most martial artists, in short, those who want to make achievements in martial arts are martial idiots.
Only those warriors who cannot go further will be greedy for money and power.
"Hmm," Liu Yulan agreed.
In three months, she has recovered, but she is quieter and more stable than before, adapting to the life of the Xuanyin Division, and taking care of everything in an orderly manner, Cheng Jiangyan even jokingly called her the chief housekeeper of the Xuanyin Division.
"Miss, take a look at the accounts. Liu Yulan insisted on calling Fang Xile like this, she felt that Fang Xile had taken her in, so she should repay her for the slave and maid, and naturally she had to call Miss Lord.
"We now have two inns, a tavern, the business is gradually stable, last month's income of two hundred taels of silver, remove the expenses of a month can also balance fifty taels, I used the money from the previous balance to buy a few haunted houses at a low price, you got rid of the ghost and then sold it, a small profit, used to invest in the pharmacy, Miss is a congenital martial artist, there are many martial artists will deliberately take care of the business, so the pharmacy can earn more than 100 taels of silver a month. ”
Fang Xile nodded: "Just look at it." ”
"But I thought, should we expand a little bit and do the pill business?"
"Pill business?"
"Xuanyin Division has too many places to spend money, Miss will have to recruit people in the future, a person will spend fifty taels of silver in a month, and Miss will train martial artists in the future, the cost of pills is a big expense, so the money is still not enough. Liu Yulan explained.
Now in the entire Xichuan County, the pill business is in the hands of the King of Sichuan County and the Flying Scorpion Gang, and it is very unkind to intervene rashly, but you can find a cheap source of purchase and supply your own warriors, so that you can save a lot of money invisibly.
Which pill is the cheapest, it is Baihongguan in Yangcheng.
Every July, Bai Hongguan will hold an alchemy conference, and many alchemy masters will gather in Yangcheng County, Fang Xile made up his mind to negotiate the price with Bai Hongguan's people when the time comes.
"The matter of the pill, I want to find a way to solve it, I am not in a hurry now, give me a hundred taels of silver, and I will buy a gift for Lord Bao. ”
A month ago, the imperial court ordered that the lord should be transferred back to the capital to take up his post, although he was a little reluctant, but it was a happy event to be promoted, and he should be celebrated.
Today is the day when the newcomer Jiang Weiguo Jiang takes office, and it is also the day when Bao Daren leaves, Bao Daren has helped her a lot before, and she has to give some gifts to express her heart when she leaves.
Fang Xile walked around and chose a bookmark made of gold, the golden one was very cute, and that's it!
The county guard mansion is particularly lively today, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, and I don't know how many of them are really here to send off Lord Bao, and how many are taking the opportunity to befriend the newly appointed Lord Jiang?
