The so-called 'moon festival' refers to the last day of each month, with the city gods of each state city as the leading, to Haotian sacrifice.

According to Wang Chong's understanding, this is equivalent to the end of each month, the foreman representative of the employee reports the performance to the superior leader.

The offerings of the 'Moon Festival' are the sacrifices collected by the city god, plus the monthly performance of Jiazhou. Including how many monsters have been destroyed, how many cases have been closed, how many nests have been destroyed, etc., and so on.

The more performance Chenghuang reports, the more merit Haotian will give back.

After the sacrifice is completed, the city god receives the reward, and then distributes the merit incense bags to each monk.

Wang Chong's memory has been restored, and he fully understands this truth

'Shangong', 'Shuibo', and 'Chenghuang', the first three edicts, each have their own responsibilities. 'Shangong Fu Zhao', responsible for guarding the main roads of the state capital and putting an end to demons. The 'Shui Bo Fu Zhao' is responsible for patrolling the surrounding waters to ensure the climatic effects and the tranquility of the waterways.

'Shangong' and 'Shuibo' are independent merits, and their status is above that of 'Chenghuang'.

The 'City God's Talisman' is to guard the state city, responsible for arranging cultivators to subdue demons and eliminate monsters, and maintain local stability. It is also close to the mortal government in the past, and accepts all the cases of monsters wreaking havoc.

'Shangong is the Border Security Agency, Shuibo is the Water Security Agency, and I, the Chenghuang, am the security chief of a state. The monks of the Heists down there are agents ......

'The edict is the work card, and the merit is the salary. ’

'The incense pouch of merit is their pouch of wages. Chenghuang is responsible for paying salaries, and who does a good job and who does a bad job, Chenghuang has a say. ’

No wonder they say that the stronger the Chenghuang, the happier the monks. Because Chenghuang is the central commander, the better the performance. The more wages Haotian gives, the more the monks benefit, and a virtuous circle ......

Wang Chong went through the conclusions he summarized in his heart.

Now in the entire Jiazhou City, except for Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong, the other monks have submitted to Hao Lan. The strength of the more people there is, the more powerful Hao Lan's harvest performance will be.

Then on the day of the 'Moon Festival', Hao Lan sacrificed to Haotian, and his performance crushed Wang Chong, and the merit of giving back was undoubtedly the complete victory over Wang Chong.

Monks need merit to strengthen the power of the edict, merit is needed to build magic weapons, merit is needed to raise spirit servants, and merit is even more necessary to promote the edict in the future!

The more supporters Hao Lan has, the stronger his power becomes. It doesn't take much time to kick Wang Chong out.

Even Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong may not be able to hold on and fall to Hao Lan.

After all, the long-term depletion of merit will lead to instability and the risk of collapse.

'There are still nine days, that is to say, in these nine days, we must rush the performance!'

'If the performance loses, the sacrifice is too cold, even if Hao Lan doesn't kick me away, I won't have the face to stay......

Wang Chong pondered for a moment and made a decision. He looked at Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong, and first gave a smile, reassuring the two temporarily loyal supporters, and said:

"My countermeasure is to win by quality. ”

"Win by quality?" Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong glanced at each other, thoughtful.

Both of them are old rivers and lakes, and they have been rooted in Jiazhou City for more than ten or twenty years, so they naturally understand what Wang Chong means.

But now Wang Chong is the commander of the light pole, even with the assistance of Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong, the team is really too weak.

If you want to win by quality, you must overcome major cases, exterminate the demon nest of accumulated years, and pacify the surrounding demon disasters and other major events.

"Our strength, if we take the road of winning by quality, I'm afraid it will ......" Gongsun Zhi didn't say any more, and shook his head worriedly.

Zhou Tong was a straight-hearted man, and he said with a stalk around his neck: "Anyway, it's a go! Whatever Mr. Wang says, I'll do it! It's luck, and if you lose, it's a big deal to change places, and you won't be able to get Hao Lan's bird's spirit!"

Gongsun Zhi glared at Zhou Tong: "Our merit incense pouches have been handed over to Mr. Wang, one is prosperous, and the other is lost." You and I can go, and we can go anywhere in the world. But Mr. Wang is a city god talisman, how can he leave without permission?"

Zhou Tong was suddenly speechless, and his face turned blue.

"Don't panic, I'll go through the case files in the City God's Seal first. If there is a specific strategy, then call the two to act. Wang Chong still smiled and waved his hand.

Gongsun Zhi and Zhou Tong had no choice but to say goodbye and leave with apprehension.

Wang Chong did not slack off, walked out of the underground meeting hall, and returned to the inner temple of the city god.

In the hands of the topaz statue in the inner ancestral hall, the official seal stores the cases accumulated in Jiazhou every month of the year.

The sources include: the official government and the state government, the commoners, the practitioners, the Shangong edict, the Shuibo edict, and the city god edict added by itself, etc.

If Wang Chong lived in the City God Temple, then the contents of the official seal stored in the inner ancestral hall could be consulted at any time. But he didn't want to stay in the temple for a long time.

Now Hao Lan and him are disgusted with each other, and Wang Chong has a secret on his body, so it is difficult to stay in the City God Temple. It's better to go back to the inn to do research and strive to overtake.

After returning to the inner shrine, Wang Chong copied the contents of the case file in the official seal with his own city god talisman. Then he returned to his former room, took the only relic note, and left without a hitch.

After returning to the Elm Inn, Wang Chong put down Lao Wang's notes for the time being, and concentrated on studying the recovered case files.

These case files are in the form of jade foil, accumulating piece by piece, and wrapping around the surface of the edict. If you want to see any of them, you can directly explore them with your consciousness.

The case file is divided into four grades: A, B, C, and D.

Each one is completed, it is recorded and burned as a sacrifice during the 'moon festival'.

The so-called 'God is difficult to deceive'! What the result is, Haotian will naturally give a fair judgment. Eventually, these judgments are turned into merit, and the Edict of the City God can be received.

There is no doubt that the four levels of A, B, C, D, naturally the higher the level, the more rewards.

If Wang Chong wants to win by quality, he can only start with the Grade A case file first.

So he didn't hesitate to leave the Grade A case file and explore them one by one.

There are a total of eight Class A files. This is more than Wang Chong imagined.

Twelve months in a year, if there is one major event every three months, and no more than five major events in a year, it is normal.

At this moment, a total of eight Class A major events have not been moved, which shows that Hao Lan did not dare to touch the Class A case file when he took office. But from the side, it can also be shown that with Hao Lan's power, there is nothing that can be done about it.

Wang Chong carefully read it, starting with the first case file.

When he saw the third case file, his brow moved, and he was very interested.

This is a big case, which happened more than forty days ago. Thirteen families were killed and 14 were killed. Thirteen people died, one was seriously injured and rescued.

The dead died tragically, and the ending was all exhausted.

The case caused an uproar, because the cause of death was definitely the monster, so the state government reported to the City God Temple.

At that time, the old king of the city god was in the age of old and mediocre, and he was not properly handled, and the monks of the earth were like headless flies touching each other, and they couldn't find out why, so the case was sealed and shelved.

The reason why Wang Chong is interested in this case is that the case is serious and has a bad impact, and there are still panic rumors among the people of the state and town. The second reason is that there are survivors of this case and can obtain valuable information about the crime.

The first two case files are old cases, but this case is fresh, and there are eyewitnesses, so it can be said that there are some innate conditions and there is a possibility of a breakthrough.

Wang Chong first analyzed the common denominators of the deceased in this case:

One: All are young and middle-aged men;

Two: They all got up alone in the middle of the night and went out, and then they were killed;

Three: All of them are exhausted and bloody, and the dead state is like dry wood;

After pondering these commonalities, a key word came to Wang Chong's mind, and that was "seduction". Being able to let a man go out alone and suffer without alarming other family members can only be a special temptation.

As soon as he thought of the temptation, Wang Chong immediately took out his hand into the soft leather money bag, took out the red-skinned toad, and put it on the table.

The red-skinned toad held back for most of the day, and finally was able to see the light of day again, with its mouth wide open, a few long sighs, and a little sluggish bowed its head:

"See the lord!"

Wang Chong also ignored its pretentiousness and asked, "Apart from you, what other monsters have the ability to disguise or lure?"

The red-skinned toad didn't pause at all, it seemed to have understood, and grinned: "Who else can there be? Naturally, it's a fox spirit who is better at seduction than me!"
