Since last two months ago, a strange thing has appeared in the dungeon of the government office in Hangzhou City......

I can't remember exactly when it started, but I know that one day, prisoners or homeless people who were held in prison cells, some of them often woke up and found that there were small wounds on the back of their necks that they didn't know if they had been bitten by something.

Then, as time went on, the number of prisoners in that situation naturally increased and became more and more common, but even then, that kind of thing did not receive the attention that the prison guards deserved.

Thinking about it, there are a lot of poisonous insects such as snakes, rats or fleas in the cell, and the place in the cell is never a comfortable place for people to live in, and it is not a big deal for some prisoners to be bitten occasionally, plus the bitten prisoners are not sick, let alone dead, plus the prisoners who are imprisoned in the cells are not welcomed and have no oil and water to fish, and the jailers also wish that they would lie quietly and have no strength to make trouble after they have eaten enough.

Therefore, no one took care of this matter at all, and no one thought about reporting it in time.

Until later......

It was only after almost all the prisoners had been bitten, and some of them were even so weak that they could not live and eat normally, and even several jailers who were keeping vigil were not spared, that the matter gradually became taken seriously and was reported to the county magistrate and the county lieutenant for the first time.

What about escalation?

Obviously, the county lieutenants did not have an effective solution or plan to solve the problem, so this matter could only be investigated casually and then dragged out without a decision.

It was directly treated as some kind of unknown and strange 'epidemic', which was nothing more than the usual practice of making the county government account room endure the pain and spend more money and food, so that the prisoners who were imprisoned could eat a little better, and then let the doctors who set up the museum to prescribe some medicinal soup to treat the epidemic and warm and tonic the harmony.

Otherwise, what else can be done?

Since then, the officials of those mansions have thought that the matter has been fooled in this way, and they should be careful not to make too big waves again, and they will not continue to waste their precious time and energy, after all, it is just a group of prisoners, and their eyes must not be happy to stay on those people for too long.

However, when things backfired, their perfunctory approach was clearly unworkable, and the already bizarre events began to worsen again because of their malfeasance......

In the end, after the prisoners began to die tragically for no reason, and it was discovered that the blood of the dead prisoners had almost been sucked dry for some reason, the county magistrates, county magistrates, and county lieutenants in Hangzhou realized the seriousness of the matter, and finally began to study countermeasures and actively deal with them.

And the result of their active response is that more and more prisoners are dying inexplicably, close to half!

What's even more terrifying is that even the jailers who are on guard and vigil in their cells are not spared, and some people are killed one after another for no reason?

So, the officials finally began to panic.

They had to evacuate the dungeon from the dungeon urgently, and at the same time cordoned it off, and since then, no one has dared to enter the dungeon of the horrible mansion like a bloodsucking hell!

As for the dead or almost dead prisoners inside, they were directly abandoned by them.

It was not until later, after the relevant experienced servants conducted autopsies on several earlier corpses and found that it was not a simple epidemic, that people began to speculate that it was in the dungeon of Nafuya...... Could it be that some kind of powerful monster is at work?

Then, naturally, it was to invite someone to subdue the demon.

But several times in a row, the 'masters' who found the demon subjugation went into the cell to explore and surrender, and after the meat buns beat the dogs and never returned, this matter was over, and it was dragged so far that it was dragged to the present, and it has been fully concealed and suppressed by the county magistrates and other officials in Hangzhou City.

And a while ago, in some cases where some prisoners and homeless people who were supposed to be sent to other places had died and the number was seriously insufficient, those county commanders and county officials had to order those unscrupulous people to go to Hangzhou for the sake of their respective official hats, and finally arrested a lot of fugitives, Jiangyang thieves and floating households from nearby, and barely managed to make up the number of prisoners and cover up some facts that they did not want outsiders to know.

However, there are some things that some people can't cover up even if they want to.

Especially recently, when one of the neighbors near the cordoned off cell also began to find that someone had died in his sleep with that terrible and strange bite wound on the back of his neck?

Then inevitably, the Hangzhou government began to be restless......

And this is the reason why Li Bai was invited by that Li Sanlang to come to Hangzhou to help.

Of course, there are more things that Li Bai doesn't know, all he knows is that anomalies were found in the dungeon of the government and suspected that there were monsters at work, as for other details, based on his identity, no one would take the initiative to tell him, even if he was now a rescuer moved by the government.

"Ahh

When Li Bai carried an unsightly iron sword in his hand and walked to the square where the dungeon was located, the bad guy Li Sanlang trotted up to meet him as soon as possible and asked with some reproach:

"Li Bai!"

"Great, you're finally here, but it's almost afternoon, why are you here now?"

Because the appointed hour has long passed now, they almost thought that Li Bai had escaped from the battle just now, and then they didn't dare to come to help subdue the demon!

If that's the case, then he has to leave a bad impression of 'incompetence' in the hearts of the county commander and others, and then his life in the government will not be easy in the future.

"Alas!"

"I don't want to...... either"

"You don't know, I was delayed at the city gate for a while, and those guards refused to let me in at first, and after I explained my intentions, they finally let me go!"

"After entering the city, I didn't know the way, so I had to go to find a place to rest the horse first, and then it took some time to ask for directions, so I only arrived now, and I hope that Brother Li will forgive me?"

Li Bai smiled and apologized.

However, anyone can see that he doesn't seem to have the attitude of making amends, but is still a little indignant?

"And that kind of thing?"

"I clearly explained to them before, but it was the password of Dou County's order, and they still dare to stop you?"

"This shouldn't be......"

Li Sanlang was a little unconvinced, after all, he went to pass the news of the county order in the morning, saying that there would be a strange person around noon, and the situation of the government prison was not unknown to those guys guarding the door, how could they make trouble at the city gate and help them subdue the demons in Hangzhou City?

"Huh!"

"Could it be that Brother Li thinks I'm joking with you?"

Li Bai shook his head with some dissatisfaction, but he didn't plan to explain too much, so as to save the other party from thinking that he was a narrow-minded person.

Anyway, that's what he just said!

At the beginning, how did the guards at the gate of Hangzhou really refuse to let him go, and even doubted his identity for a while, maybe they saw that he was too young and had no relevant credentials, and he didn't look like the kind of capable 'stranger'?

Therefore, the situation at that time was: no matter what he said, the other party just refused to let him go, and even wanted to detain him to punish him?

In the end, if it weren't for the alarm of the people nearby, he attracted the onlookers of Wang Ren, the former landlord who sold his house, and then waited for the guy with a full face to come forward to pat his chest and vouch for it, and pointed out that he Li Bai was indeed a 'rescuer' invited by the county order and others, he was finally let in.

Then, Li Bai, who was also a little unhappy in his heart, naturally began to slack off his work, so he wandered around the city without hurry, and found an inn to help take care of his own horse and eat a good lunch, he came here on foot, and was late for almost half an hour.

"Hey!"

"Don't talk about going to those yet, you come over here."

After receiving Li Bai, he was a little panicked, and Li Sanlang, who didn't care about the others, hurriedly led Li Bai to the awning where the county order and the county were located, and introduced the two middle-aged people inside who were wearing official uniforms and had short beards on their faces, and they seemed to be a little impatient:

"Brother Li!"

"Let me introduce you, this is our Dou County Order in Hangzhou, this is Zhang Xiancheng here, Liu County Lieutenant just couldn't wait, he has already gone to another place for business, I will introduce you another day when I have the chance."

"Hey!"

"Dou County Order, Zhang County Cheng, this is the strange person I told you two who lives on the edge of the West Lake, and can control the swordsman who can control the monster - Li Bai!"

The matter of the doorman Li Sanlang plans to go to them in two days to trouble, now the important thing is to let Li Bai recognize his face in front of the two county lords, and then hurry to subdue the demon and subdue the demon, and deal with the tricky matter in the city, so that he can also follow the light, and leave a good impression in the hearts of these two big men that he is a 'good worker' and a 'operator'?

“……”

"In Xia Li Bai, I've seen Dou Ming's Mansion!"

"I've seen County Lieutenant Liu!"

Seeing the two middle-aged people sitting on the stool in the shed and leisurely drinking matcha, they didn't mean to stand up immediately, but stared at themselves with unkind faces, knowing that the other party wanted to give him a dismount, Li Bai didn't care much, but he didn't humilly or arrogantly hold his sword and made a fist at the two of them.

"Huh?"

didn't hurry to speak, first looked Li Bai up and down, and then glanced at Liu County Lieutenant and exchanged glances silently, the Dou County Order nodded noncommittally, then gently put down the teacup, stood up with a frown, and slowly walked to Li Bai with two steps forward:

"Hmm......"

"You are the swordsman Li Bai?"

"That's it!"

"The other officials don't ask much, there is only one important matter at the moment, and Li San and they must have already told you before, so the official will not go into detail here!"

"Just ......"

"Li Bai, there is one thing that the official has to say first, the monster...... If you can hold it down, it would be great, and then the official will naturally be rewarded! ”

"And if you can't keep ......"

"The official won't punish you, but it's not easy for you to get out of that prison alive! Let me tell you the truth, to this day, the Taoist elders and senior monks who are trapped in it and don't know whether they live or die are not one or two, do you understand the stakes? ”

Maybe it's really because so many people are waiting here for Li Bai, who is late, and he is a little impatient?

Therefore, the tone of this Dou County Commander when he spoke was very polite, so that even the basic greetings or the steps of inviting Li Bai to drink tea and chat or inquire about the truth were omitted.

Of course, it is also possible that they saw that Li Bai was too young, and they didn't think that he was the kind of 'master' who had the ability to subdue monsters, so they said that kind of ungraceful words after being slightly disappointed?

"Naturally!"

Seeing that the other party was a little unkind to see him, Li Bai was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party.

"Then, Brother Li, lead the way, let's go and subdue the demon now!"

After arching his hand directly towards the county order with his eyes above the top again, Li Bai motioned to the Li Sanlang on the side and the one in the distance with the words 'The cell is heavy, idlers should not approach', but at this time, no one was guarding the gate over there and strode forward.

"Dou County Order, then the subordinates went first?"

"Hey!"

"Brother Li, you wait for me first!"

"Hey!"

"Slow down......"

Li Sanlang didn't dare to be arrogant and rude to the county order or the county order like Li Bai, he first respectfully saluted the Dou county order, and after seeing that the other party's faintly unhappy face looked a little better and nodded to himself to show that it was okay, he hurriedly chased after Li Bai.

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, he, a bad guy, needs to beg for food under the county order, once he offends the other party, then he will have to go around without food in the future!
