Chapter 222: Your Majesty the General Manager
"Hurry up, cover the body." The county magistrate shouted, and the official hurriedly covered the body with a white cloth.
Xie Beihan eased up, his face was angry: "Lord Zhang, there have been two murders in two days in a row, are you planning to ignore them?" ”
County Official Zhang was a little frightened, waved his hand and said: "Xie Shizi's words are serious, how can the lower officials ignore these two murders." ”
Xie Beihan swept around the people, and when he saw that everyone was pale with fright, he also said: "Then I will limit you to arrest the murderer within five days to solve the case!" ”
He also took the Hou Mansion guards out this time, so he asked the guards to assist the county officials Zhang, and he must not let the murderer kill the people again.
Despite this, the county official Zhang still had a headache.
This murder case is bizarre, the murderer is so brutal, there is no clue at all, how can the case be solved within five days.
But Xie Beihan is a noble man from Beijing, so he can only agree hard.
However, at this time, a voice sounded in the crowd: "It's useless for adults to try their best, this murderer is not an ordinary person." ”
County official Zhang was stunned, turned around to look, and saw a young Taoist priest walking out of the crowd.
He had a delicate face, wore a gray robe, and carried a peachwood sword on his back.
Xie Beihan frowned, because he had seen many Taoist priests with improper intentions in Kyoto, and at first glance at this young Taoist priest, he couldn't show some respect in his heart, but felt that there was an evil aura between the young Taoist priest's eyebrows.
Before County Official Zhang could ask, he said coldly: "This Taoist chief, then what do you say is the murderer?" ”
"It's a youkai. Poor Dao's name is He Wen, he has followed his master to learn Taoism since he was a child, and this deceased is wrapped with demonic energy, and Poor Dao will never be mistaken. He Wen Zhengse said.
As soon as these words came out, the people's faces changed one after another, and they exchanged their heads and ears.
It used to be said that there were youkai, but they didn't believe it.
But there was a monster in Kyoto before, and the official lady was heartbroken, and the matter spread ten or ten hundreds, and they were naturally scared at this time.
Xie Beihan's face sank and he did not rush to refute.
Because he has read books, the monster does want to eat people's hearts and maintain their own humanoid skin.
At the moment, he only hated that his talent was not good, and he couldn't see the demonic energy with his own eyes!
However, he had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly took out his purse, which contained not silver, but a series of talismans.
He Wen's eyes narrowed when he saw it.
Xie Beihan finally found the required talisman seal, walked to the corpse and lifted the white cloth.
He recited the incantation, and the talisman burned in response, and when he got close to the corpse, it gave birth to a faint and strange green light.
His face changed in shock, and he couldn't help shouting, "It's a demon!" ”
It is possible that this He Wen is talking nonsense, but the sixth sister's talisman seal will definitely not go wrong!
County official Zhang also has some understanding of the affairs of Kyoto, knowing that this prince of Zhenbei often goes in and out of the Anyang Marquis Mansion, and has learned a little skill from the Ninth Princess, and when he heard Xie Beihan's words, his face turned slightly pale, and his lips couldn't help but tremble.
"Xie Shizi, really...... Is it really a demon? ”
Xie Beihan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to nod.
County official Zhang is speechless at the moment, there are monsters in this Shouling County, and he is specially digging out his heart, what can I do?
The people were even more panicked, either begging Xie Beihan to think of a way, or asking He Wen for help.
He Wen said: "Rest assured, as long as there is an exorcism charm in the house, the monsters will not enter the house. ”
Exorcist charms?
How can the people?
Someone hurriedly asked, "Is there a Taoist chief?" I'll buy as much silver as I want! ”
He Wen's face was as usual, but there was a slight smile in his eyes, and he said, "Poor Dao used to draw some spare, but now it can be taken out and sold, only five taels of silver a piece. ”
A tael of silver?
For dignitaries, five taels of silver is nothing at all.
But for the poor people, five taels of silver is their family's use for a long time.
The rich people hurriedly took out the silver to buy the charms.
He Wen gave the talisman with one hand and received the money with the other, and he was very happy.
Xie Beihan watched coldly from the sidelines, his messenger had run out, and he couldn't immediately notify the sixth sister.
Even if you send someone back to Kyoto to deliver the message, it will take two days to travel.
The monsters are making trouble in Shouling County, and three people have died, for the sake of many people, Xie Beihan said: "I don't know how much does He Daochang charge to eliminate demons?" ”
Now in this situation, I can only ask He Wen to block it.
He Wen looked solemn and shook his head slightly: "It's not a matter of silver, but this demon is ferocious, coming and going without a trace, and it is not easy to get rid of it." That's why I sold a demon exorcism talisman to protect everyone from being mutilated by monsters. ”
This is said to be righteous and awe-inspiring, but in fact, it is to sell talismans.
Xie Beihan was annoyed in his heart and said, "Since you said that this monster is ferocious, can you stop it?" Don't let the people spend money to buy charms, but in the end they are useless and waste money. ”
He Wen was not annoyed, and explained: "Xie Shizi rest assured, Poor Dao is very confident in his own talisman. The poor Daoist is in Shouling County, if it is useless, Xie Shizi can order someone to catch the poor Dao. ”
He promised it like this, and the frightened people hurriedly spent money to buy the talisman, for fear that they would not be able to buy the talisman and would be heartbroken by the monster.
Even the county magistrate Zhang took out the money to buy a talisman to ensure safety.
He Wen didn't have enough talismans before, so he immediately put out his tools and drew talismans on the spot.
Xie Beihan saw that he drew talismans smoothly, and there was no scrap talisman, and he was very strange in his heart.
Needless to say, his talent is poor, but he has been cultivating for some years, and he can't draw talismans like this, and he can draw four or five pictures with a cup of tea.
This kind of ability, he has only seen in his sixth sister.
It is difficult to do it, He Wen and the sixth sister are equally skilled.
If so, why did He Wen say that he couldn't catch the monster?
Xie Beihan narrowed his eyes, and immediately ordered the guards to hurry up and go back to Kyoto to inform Nanli of the matter.
There are a lot of people in Shouling County, and no matter how He Wen paints non-stop, there are always people who can't buy the talisman.
Despite this, He Wen made a lot of money.
The silver contained a big bag, and it would have taken a strong man to lift it, but He Wen took out a talisman and put it on the bag, and the bag became smaller and lighter.
He Wen picked it up easily, but he drew the talisman for a long time, and his expression was still tired.
He also said: "Everyone, Poor Dao still needs to draw a few more powerful talismans, and use them for demon hunting tonight, so you can't waste your mind and skills, please forgive me." ”
He has said this, and the people will not stop him.
Everyone prayed in anticipation, hoping that He Wen would catch the monster tonight, so that they would not have to worry and fear anymore.
The county magistrate Zhang stepped forward and invited He Wen to settle down in the government to discuss the plan to eliminate the demon.
He Wen would not refuse, and when he arrived at the mansion, he gave the last demon removal talisman to Xie Beihan: "This is for Xie Shizi to defend himself." ”
"Thank you, thank you, I'm still worried about how to talk to Daoist He." Xie Beihan immediately took it.
When the sixth sister came, he asked her to see how many catties and taels the surname He had.
He Wen saw that he had taken the talisman seal, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
