Li Qiu was a little surprised.

"This yin ghost in Yanshan City is a woman?"

Yin ghosts and weirdness are changed from people, and naturally there are men and women.

However, he killed so many yin ghosts, and it was the first time he had met a female yin ghost.

The middle-aged warrior continued.

"As for the specific enmity between that yin ghost and Zheng Ming and Jiang Han, that's a long story. ”

"...... years ago"

Li Qiu heard about this incident from the mouth of a middle-aged martial artist.

A few years ago, the people of Gyeongju Fortress ordered Zheng Ming to open a river channel north of Yeonsan Fortress to promote trade between the north and the south.

Zheng Ming embezzled the money allocated from above for repairing the river, and wanted to complete the river as soon as possible, so he asked Jiang Han to send troops to the villages near Yanshan City to forcibly recruit Zhuangding to repair the river.

The husband of the yin ghost was one of the strong men who were forcibly recruited.

At that time, not long after the ghost and her husband had just given birth to a child, there was an extra mouth in the family, and it was when life was tight, and the only husband in the family who could earn money was forcibly requisitioned by the soldiers to build a river, and life immediately became very difficult.

She thought that the family still had some savings, and it would be good to survive this period of time and wait for her husband to come back from repairing the river, but she didn't expect her husband to never return.

Zheng Ming's order to the people who supervised the work below was to repair the river as soon as possible, and in order to complete the order and get Zheng Ming's praise, the people who supervised the work let the strong men open up the river day and night, and the slightest slack was a whip.

The strong men were forced to work day and night, and the river was quickly repaired, and the overseers were rewarded by Zheng Ming, and Zheng Ming was rewarded from above, but in the end, several strong men died of exhaustion, and the husband of the yin ghost was one of them.

The death of the only husband in the family who can earn money is tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and the symbolic pension money given by the yamen is not enough at all.

She was sad and desperately washed other people's clothes, planning to raise the child alone, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the child fell ill not long after giving birth.

The child's illness is not a serious illness, and it can be cured with just some money to go to the pharmacy and grab some medicine.

But she couldn't come up with the money, so she found someone to borrow someone else, because her family died and she was afraid that she would not be able to repay, so she didn't lend it to her.

The medicine hall is not a charity hall, there is no money to give her medicine, and in the end her child fell ill and died.

A family of three who originally gave birth to a child and lived a happy life just started became ruined because of a sudden forced conscription!

Having lost her husband and children, she was desperate and finally hanged herself, and after her death, her soul turned into a yin ghost, and it was also an extremely rare heavenly yin ghost......

After listening to the middle-aged martial artist's account, Li Qiu understood why Zheng Ming and Jiang Han had to hide from him the Yin Ghost attack on the City Lord's Mansion.

Embezzlement and repair, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China strengthened the recruitment of strong men, causing the people to die of exhaustion, which is already a major crime of losing officials.

And because of this incident, let the yin ghosts want to kill them to take revenge and kill so many people to absorb yin qi and improve their strength, if the court knows, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come.

Jiang Han is better, he is just an accomplice, and Zheng Ming, who is the most evil, has to be assigned to the frontier to fill the army, and it is very likely that the head will not be guaranteed, and even the whole family will be beheaded.

When it comes to official positions and even lives, Zheng Ming and Jiang Han of course try their best to hide it, and they don't want him to know about these things.

Earlier today, he saw Zheng Ming's face pale, probably either frightened by the yin ghost, or worried about this matter.

And not long after he arrived in Yanshan City, the news had spread all over Yanshan City, and it was obviously done by Zheng Ming and the others.

The purpose was to let the Yin Ghost know that the Sky Surveyor who could kill her had come to Yanshan City and lived in the City Lord's Mansion, so that she would not dare to attack the City Lord's Mansion again, and Zheng Ming and Jiang Han would be safe.

Finding a yin ghost within a radius of hundreds of miles around Yanshan City is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and you can't tell when you can find it.

But after knowing the grudge between the Yin Ghost in Yanshan City and Zheng Ming, Li Qiu immediately had a way to quickly find the Yin Ghost.

is to use Zheng Ming as bait, lure her to take the initiative to appear, and then kill her.

Li Qiu listened to the story of the yin ghost in Yanshan City, and felt that although she was pitiful in her lifetime, when she became a yin ghost after her death, wantonly slaughtering people and absorbing yin qi, she was no longer worthy of sympathy.

She has never condensed the ghost body to the strength of a martial artist in the Visceral Cultivation Period, even if she is a Heavenly Yin Ghost whose growth rate of absorbing Yin Qi far exceeds that of ordinary Yin Ghosts, it is estimated that thousands of people have been killed.

Her tired husband and sick children were innocent, and the thousands she killed were not born to die.

Li Qiu reached out and put down a silver ingot on the table.

"Today's tea, I invited you, thank you for your news. ”

With that, he turned around and walked out of the teahouse and walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Qiu summoned Zheng Ming.

"My lord, I wonder what you are looking for me?"

"Time is pressing, kill that yin ghost every night, maybe more people will be victimized, I limit you to three days to find that yin ghost. ”

"Three days?!" Zheng Ming looked embarrassed. "My lord, isn't three days a little short......

"I don't care about this, I just kill the Yin Ghost, if you can't find the Yin Ghost within three days, then you will come according to my method. ”

"Your method, I don't know what your method is, my lord?" Zheng Ming looked puzzled: "If the method works, why do you have to wait until three days later?"

"If you can't find the ghost in three days, you'll know then. A touch of coldness appeared in Li Qiu's eyes.

He wasn't sure if he used Zheng Ming as bait, whether the yin ghost would be unable to help but fall into the trap.

So he decided to let Zheng Ming and Jiang Han use the conventional method to find them for the time being, and then use this trick after three days if there is no result.

Time passed in a flash, and in the three days, Zheng Ming tried to send troops to look for traces of the Yin Ghost in the area of Yanshan City, and he always felt that if he couldn't find the Yin Ghost within three days, when Li Qiu used his method, I was afraid that something bad would happen.

But God did not fulfill people's wishes, and Zheng Ming failed to find the trace of the yin ghost within three days.

In the castle lord's mansion.

Li Qiu sat on the main seat, and on the left and right of the hall sat Zheng Ming, the city lord of Yanshan City, and Jiang Han, the general of Yangwu.

"Three days have passed, and City Lord Zheng has not found any trace of the Yin Ghost, so he can't complain that I used my method. Li Qiu said quietly.

"I don't know what your method is, my lord?" Zheng Ming asked with a worried expression.

Jiang Han also looked at Li Qiu curiously, wondering what method he was talking about.

Li Qiu's expression was cold.

"The three-day deadline has arrived, Zheng City Lord, you are not doing your job effectively, I have decided to exercise the power of the Heaven Surveyor and temporarily take over the power of the City Lord of Yanshan City!"

Zheng Ming's anger surged in his heart, and he stood up suddenly, and shouted with a flushed face.

"Master Li, you have premeditated to seize power!"

"Who can find the traces of the Yin Ghost in three days, Lord Li, you use this reason to seize the power of my city lord, don't you think it's too far-fetched?"

Zheng Ming looked angry and asked rhetorically.

Facing Zheng Ming's questioning, Li Qiu's face was calm and said slowly.

"Two days ago, I heard something about that ghost in the city. ”

"Some people say that it is because of Lord Zheng and Lord Jiang that the yin ghost will be ruined, hang himself, become a yin ghost, and kill people wantonly. ”

"I wonder if there's such a thing?"

Li ...... Master Li, Diao Min's words are not credible!" Zheng Ming's eyes showed a hint of panic.

"Those are all deliberately made up by people with intentions!"

Jiang Han was not as eager to defend as Zheng Ming, but he could see obvious panic on his face.

"Really?" Li Qiu asked rhetorically with squinted eyes and a faint tone.

"No trace of the Yin Ghost was found within three days, and it was indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the lower official to delay the killing of the Yin Ghost, and the lower official asked the Lord to temporarily take over the power of the city lord of Yanshan City. Zheng Ming was covered in cold sweat and arched his hand in a panic.

Li Qiu nodded.

"In that case, I'll talk about my method. ”

"This matter still needs the cooperation of City Lord Zheng. ”

Zheng Ming's body trembled, and he had an ominous premonition, and said with a frightened expression.

"Your Excellency...... You're not going to take down that yin ghost, are you?"

Zheng Ming was naturally not a stupid person to sit in this position, as soon as he contacted what Li Qiu knew and what he said, he easily guessed what Li Qiu was going to do, and he was extremely frightened for a while, and he was completely confused.

"My lord, please spare the life of the lower official, that yin ghost hates the lower official to the bone, once there is a chance, it will never let me go, and the lower official has no power to restrain the chicken......"

"This can't happen!"

Listening to Zheng Ming's cry, Li Qiu looked indifferent, and said coldly in a tone that could not be refused.

"This matter is so decided, if City Lord Zheng can help draw out the yin ghosts, it can be regarded as a meritorious service, and then the court will deal with you lightly!"

"Lord Lee, Lord Lee......"

Zheng Ming still cried and screamed.

Li Qiu squinted his eyes and unleashed some power at Zheng Ming, impacting his mind and making him faint.

Zheng Ming's face was pale, his hands and feet were weak, he couldn't withstand Li Qiu's might, and fainted to the ground.

Li Qiu ignored him and turned his head to look at Jiang Han.

"Jiang Han, compared to Zheng Ming, the crime you committed is not serious. ”

"If you cooperate with me and kill that yin ghost, the court may forgive your sins. ”

"Xia Guan understands. Jiang Han looked panicked and replied.

Li Qiu nodded: "Released the news to the outside, the city lord Zheng Ming is not doing his job well, and I have taken over the power of the city lord, from tomorrow I will personally lead the soldiers to the outside of the city to search for the traces of the yin ghosts." ”

"The soldiers outside the city lord's mansion will be transferred, and you will also go out of the city with me. ”

"Yes. ”

Jiang Han released the news according to what Li Qiu said.

The next day, Li Qiu took Jiang Han and all the soldiers in the city out of Yanshan City according to the news.

After that, Jiang Han had already found a soldier who looked similar to him and pretended to be him.

He himself quietly returned to the City Lord's Mansion in the city alone, stayed next door to Zheng Ming's room, paying attention to the movements in Zheng Ming's room, and waiting for the arrival of the Yin Ghost.

At the same time, Jiang Han led people to look for traces of the yin ghost outside the city, and if the yin ghost was found, Jiang Shan delayed it, and then sent someone back to the city to report the news.

Both sides are carried out at the same time, and neither side is delayed.

A few days later, when Jiang Han and his soldiers were about to search the vicinity of Yanshan City, the yin ghost was finally trapped.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, a thin figure in a cloak quietly appeared.

There was a sickly pale on her face, and her eyes were dead, and she looked at the City Lord's Mansion without a single soldier guarding it, and her face was hideous.

She wants revenge! for her dead husband and children!

Zheng Ming ruined her family, she would kill Zheng Ming even if she died!

A few days ago, she recovered from her injuries and is on the rise.

She entered Yanshan City and prepared to attack the City Lord's Mansion again, killing Zheng Ming and Jiang Han.

But when she heard that the imperial court had sent a more powerful Sky Surveyor than Jiang Han to kill her, and that she was staying in the city lord's mansion, she retreated.

She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that she will not be able to kill Zheng Ming before she dies.

She retreated out of the city, ready to kill more people and improve her strength.

Until yesterday, she heard outside the city that Zheng Ming had been taken over as the city lord by a celestial surveyor sent by the imperial court because of his ineffective work.

And that Sky Surveyor and all his soldiers searched for her traces outside the city, and the City Lord's Mansion was now unguarded.

She felt her chance for revenge!

The cloaked yin ghost looked like a ghost, jumped into the courtyard wall, and then threw the cloak away and rushed to the direction where Zheng Ming lived.

Last time, she only almost killed Zheng Ming, if it weren't for Jiang Han's presence, she would have succeeded.

She won't fail again this time.

Li Qiu was sitting on the bed, practicing, when he suddenly heard a burst of fast and urgent footsteps, and went to the room next to him.

He opened his eyes, a glint flashed in his eyes, got up and got off the ground, picked up the Yetan knife, and pushed the door out.

Just as I bumped into it, a figure with loose hair and a fierce aura had arrived at the door of Zheng Ming's room.

The hair-clad yin ghost felt a strong threat on Li Qiu's body, and suddenly felt bad, his expression was hideous, and he pushed open the door regardless of it, and went to Zheng Ming's room to kill.

"It's a yin ghost! the yin ghost is looking for revenge on me!"

In the room, Zheng Ming's frightened cry was heard.

"Lord Li, help me, help me, save me......"

"Dog officer, you return the lives of my husband and children!"

With a scream full of hatred, Zheng Ming let out a desperate scream and was silent.

From beginning to end, Li Qiu stood in place and did not move.

In an instant, a ghostly figure rushed out of the room, trying to flee into the distance.

Li Qiu stepped on his feet and stopped in front of the haired female ghost.

The haired female ghost who got revenge is not as fierce as just now, and the momentum of the whole person is three points weaker.

Without the momentum of "who blocks and kills whom" just now, facing Li Qiu's face with obvious fear, he wanted to bypass Li Qiu and escape.

Li Qiu's expression was cold, and he drew his sword out of its sheath, exuding a terrifying momentum.

The rich blood of the Dao Dao was like a red snake, clinging and entwining towards the ink-colored blade.

"You got your wish and killed Zheng Ming to avenge your hatred, and now you should also pay for the death of the person who died in your hands!"

Li Qiu waved the Yetan Knife, and the blade broke through the air, setting off a fierce wind, and killed the frightened Clothed Yin Ghost.

The hair-clad yin ghost hurriedly dodged Li Qiu's attack, and a bit of fierceness appeared on his face, waving his claws shrouded in black qi and grabbing Li Qiu's head.

"Let me go! or I'll kill you!"

Li Qiu's face did not fluctuate, turned the blade, and slashed out horizontally......
