Chapter 66: The New Changer
The man returned to the tavern, still indignant. But the man can only sleep, and he will deal with this matter tomorrow. I hope the yamen here won't be so mediocre. This big man thought about what the little brother said that day, "Big brother, let's go first, let them fight for a while", and he couldn't help but think of these in his heart. But if you think about it carefully, the yacha here is still quite impartial in enforcing the law, and that sentence is obviously just a joke. But tomorrow I'll really have to deal with them.
Early the next morning, drumsticks burst at the entrance of the yamen. The county magistrate couldn't sleep at night, and when he saw that the sky was about to dawn, he was drowsy. I haven't just fallen asleep, but I didn't expect someone to beat the drum to report the crime.
So the county magistrate and the officials hurriedly went to the court to hold the court, and then asked who the drummer was. Then two people came to the outside of the hall, an old man and a young lady, kneeling together.
"Folk woman Zhang!"
"Folk woman Li!"
"What's the matter?" asked the county magistrate.
"Wang Shan, a woman and a child, did not return all night yesterday. Touring the city today, there is no one to see in many places where he might go!" Zhang said.
"What's the matter with Lee's drumming?"
"The folk woman is Wang Dashan's wife! The drumming is the same thing as the disappearance of the husband Wang Shan!"
"The eldest husband walked in all directions and didn't return overnight, and it wasn't a big deal, so why bother beating the drum to report the case, disturbing the purity of the court!
"My lord, the women and children of the people have said that if he disappears for no reason, he will definitely come to the Yamen to report the case!" Zhang shouted.
Li Shi also kowtowed and said: "The husband of the folk woman also told the folk woman about this!"
Since Na Wang Shan walked into the gambling house, he has experienced a lot of wins, so he has become more and more aware that the gambling house is a place of right and wrong, so he told his wife and wife in private to prevent him from encountering any accidents in the gambling house. I don't want to win money today, and I didn't encounter any accidents in the gambling house, but because of a moment of lust, I actually lost my name, but no one knew.
"If that's the case, then did he say who might be annoying?" the county magistrate continued.
But this little boy didn't mention it. ”
"What about the Li family?
"I never mentioned it to the women!"
"But the women and children have never said nothing, and they don't return all night, so I think something must have happened in it!
If he still hasn't returned for three days, I will definitely mobilize all the yamen officials to try their best to find your son and husband for you! Maybe it's just a big man who has occasional troubles in his heart, and he went out of the city to walk and lost his way, so he didn't return, and it's not impossible, you go back first!" The county magistrate couldn't be sure what this matter was, so he could only proceed according to the normal situation.
On this day, Yacha went out early to handle the case of the corpse, and no one took the disappearance of Wang Shan to heart.
In the middle of the day, the only one of the yamen ran into the inner hall and reported to the county magistrate: "My lord, there is a strong man outside the yamen who wants to see you!"
"What's going on?"
The strong man did not speak, but said that he had something important to see, and said......" The yacha did not dare to continue when he said this.
"What ...... say"
"If you don't see it, you'll definitely regret it!" said the yacha truthfully in order not to delay the two parties.
"Oh~ If that's the case, then I'd like to go and see who you are?"
So the county magistrate got up and took the yacha to the door of the court. I saw that there was still a rare warm sunshine in the courtyard, but it was much darker when I arrived at the door of the public hall. However, the county magistrate didn't pay attention, but just shouted: "Who is the person you are seeking?"
"My lord, is he at the door?" The little yacha who came with the county master hurriedly reminded the county master.
At this time, the county magistrate looked up, and there was a person at the entrance of the public hall, who was tall and tall, blocking most of the sunlight at the entrance of the yamen. At this time, he turned his head slightly, and then clenched his fists and said, "I'm just asking to see my lord!"
When the county magistrate saw this person's momentum, he immediately weakened by half a point: "I don't know what the strong man is talking about?" The county magistrate didn't say anything like daring to make a fool of the people, why didn't he kneel down when he arrived at the county court.
"My lord, I have come to ask your lordship, is there anyone missing in the city today?" The big man seemed to say a very ordinary thing, and his expression did not change at all.
"The cats of this family will run to that house to hang out, and the dog of the east family will go to the west house to gnaw a bone, it's not a big deal, you won't listen to this morning's court report and deliberately come to find trouble, right?" The county master thought that someone was going to catch him for something, so although his momentum was half a point weaker, he couldn't stand the wanton provocation of others.
"What's the point?" this shouted to see that the county lord suddenly changed his mentality, so he didn't want to make more trouble, and the world's opinion may be like this: "Well, I came today to ask the adults for an errand! I hope the adults agree!"
"You are so bold, if you want to sit up straight, how can you be so threatened by you! Get me out!" When the county magistrate heard the words of this big man, he was furious, but he was not very sober this morning, so he didn't care much about this morning's case, and he was taken as a demon by someone like this, and this is still ......
"Strongman, I have conveyed your request, and the adults don't want to see you, please!"
The strong man didn't understand why the county magistrate was like this, so he had no choice but to stand up at the moment, and then shook his head and said: "Worldly people are really ridiculous, and if they don't say what they want, they will show their greed and hatred. As a county magistrate, he disregarded the lives of the people in the city, and now Lichuan has become more demonic and evil, I am afraid that it will not be long before this yamen will not be spared!" At this time, this strong man had already walked to the door of the yamen.
"The strong man stays!" the county magistrate heard what the big man said, and thought about the two nameless corpses found a few days ago, and couldn't help but start shouting what was going on, and at the same time began to speculate about the identity of the shouting.
"What is the matter with the county commander?" the strong man said, turning his head.
"Just now I have the most, can the strong man talk to me in the inner hall!"
The strong man saw that the county magistrate had noticed something, so he didn't seem to be teasing the tavern boy and the boss, but nodded, and followed the county magistrate directly towards him.
When he arrived at the inner hall, the county commander hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Dare to ask the name of the strong man?"
"Xiaomin Jiang Yan!"
"That'...... I don't know what kind of school Mr. Jiang is from?" the county magistrate suddenly asked.
"Hahahaha...... It's still seen by adults. The strong man said a few times, and then said, "Actually...... I don't have a sect, and the Dao I practice is taught by my father, maybe my father was a disciple of a small sect, but now there is no way to verify, my father has passed away!"
Hearing that the father of the strong man in front of him had died, the county commander lowered his head slightly and hesitated, and then asked: "How does Mr. Jiang know that someone is missing in my city, and why does he say that my city is being watched by demons?"
"By now, I think the prefectural magistrate should have noticed it......!
"Please!"
"Last night, in the middle of the night, I felt that there was a hidden demonic aura in the city, but when I was about to catch up with the demon, the demon suddenly disappeared outside the north of the city. Jiang Yan replied briefly.
"If there is really a demon scourge to my people in Lichuan!" the county order was soaked in sweat, but it was still very reasonable, "The missing person ......"
"I found human sweat on the path that the demon passed, and I think someone must have been taken captive by the demon!"
"Alas~" the county magistrate sighed, and then asked, "Then in the opinion of the gentleman, what should I do?"
"That's the purpose of my visit to the prefectural magistrate. It seems to me that there is something evil in Lichuan Castle that has been confirmed, so I implore the prefectural commander to remove the night watchman and let me watch the night watch. At the same time, a curfew was strictly enforced, and no one was allowed to wander around the city after the unitary hour. Jiang Yan changed the style of the tavern, and he was very serious first.
"It's easy to say that you should replace the watchman, but the strict curfew may cause speculation from the people in the city, and make the theory of the dried corpse even more spread!"
Jiang Yan discussed with the county magistrate for a long time, and finally decided to replace the watchman first, and the curfew would not be dealt with urgently for the time being. Maybe it's also a way to draw out demons, but it's dangerous.
In the end, the county magistrate took Jiang Yan to see the two dried corpses found before, and Jiang Yan also determined that the two dried corpses were for the evil thing to absorb the essence and blood of the two people, so the two people were as if they were dried corpses. It's just that Jiang Yan was also shocked when he saw the dried corpse, like Jiang Yan had seen a lot of little monsters and monsters messing around everywhere, but those dead people were not like these two dried corpses, almost meaning that there was no blood left, and the death was very miserable.
So Jiang Yan got serious. It seems that if you encounter that demon, I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle. Perhaps, if you really encounter that demon, you may not be the opponent of that demon.
Jiang Yan thought about it for a long time, and he was really thinking about how to make a down payment on the evil thing that harmed Lichuan. Suddenly, it was a flash of inspiration. I thought of the man who stood up for himself yesterday and paid for his drink. So Jiang Yan set off and inquired about the person of yesterday, who was the master of the young master of the Ba family in Lichuan, and now he is living in Ba Mansion. So Jiang Yan immediately set off and quietly infiltrated Bafu.
Xuan Li was on top of Ba Mansion, and suddenly felt that the enchantment in the courtyard of the house had changed. So he swept out, and soon found a figure, and immediately chased after him. After a short while, both of them stopped.
"Yesterday, wasn't the wine money enough for the strong man? Xuan Li stopped, and did not ask who the other party was, but said directly, it seems that he already knew that this person was the strong man who drank the overlord wine yesterday.
"Hahaha...... Your Excellency is so high-minded! It's a pity......" Jiang Yan was not surprised that the other party could see his identity, but when he said this, it was a little puzzled......
"What is a pity?" asked Xuanli calmly......
"Your Excellency, as a cultivator, is you turning a blind eye to the evil things in Lichuan right now, why is it?" Jiang Yan asked, and added, "Could it be that Your Excellency has been blinded by the stench and glory of the world?"
Xuan Li didn't get angry when he heard it, he just closed his eyes and said slowly: "It turns out that this Daoist friend has also discovered it, but since the Daoist friend has already discovered it, then he must have already noticed how powerful this demonic thing is!"
"I don't dare to say how powerful it is, but I did find that this demonic Dao is definitely above my cultivation. But ......"
"No, though, the cultivation of this demonic thing is even higher than mine!" Xuan Li said.
"How can it be ......" Jiang Yan was stunned for a while, and then said, "Then what about you and me joining forces?"
"Maybe you can escape under the hands of some demonic thing!"
"Could it be that Your Excellency's sect has fallen into such a depraved state?" Jiang Yan said in a deep voice, and then seemed to say to Xuanli, as if to say to himself, "No matter what, I will not see such a harmful monster and ignore it! Your Excellency is blessed!
Seeing Jiang Yan leaving, Xuanli could only sigh, and then shook his head. It seems that he can't just ignore it.
"Master, why is that person here again?" At this time, not far behind Xuan Li, a figure turned out and shouted to Xuan Li.
"Yu Feng, within this month, the master is no more, you must not leave the enchantment of your residence, you know?"
"Yes, master. After Ba Yufeng, the young master of the Ba family, finished answering, he asked, "Master, is something wrong?"
"The master has some things to deal with. Xuan Li's face did not change at all, and then he lowered his head and smiled, "After the master deals with this matter, two years later, I will take you to participate in the Yuhua Discussion that happens once in sixty years." ”
Although Ba Yufeng had only heard of Yuhua's name, the master said that he would take him there, which already made him very happy. At least I feel like it's much more fun than practicing at home.
this day. The yacha took Jiang Yan to find the watchman. To put it mildly, the watchman just refuses to be replaced. But the yacha and Jiang Yan couldn't tell him that there were monsters in Lichuan City at night. It turned out that this beater didn't have a livelihood originally, so he finally found an errand and made a little money to make ends meet. I didn't expect that there were still people competing with him, so he didn't agree. In the end, Jiang Yan could only say to the kid: "You don't have to fight, the salary will be paid to you, so it's all right!"
In the end, the boy agreed, and finally solved the first thing.
Tonight, different voices sounded in the city, and a change that did not pass with the past appeared in the city. With a deep, penetrating voice, lingering in Lichuan City. I don't know how many residents were woken up by this sound.
