Chapter 150: There is a demon making trouble
For the next two days, the backyard attic was much quieter.
And the Liu family had a dispute over Liu Qing's funeral.
According to custom, as the eldest grandson, it is natural to be buried in the ancestral grave.
But Liu Qing provoked the fox spirit before he died, which greatly ruined the reputation of the Liu family and became the talk of the entire Qinghe County after dinner.
In the eyes of others, this is called mourning.
If you don't do it, you will be deprived of the treatment of being buried in the ancestral grave.
And Cao Jun, who traveled hundreds of miles and brought Liu Qing's ashes back to Qinghe County, was also consulted by the Liu family.
Although he insisted on burying Liu Qing next to the attic in the backyard, he could complete the task by the way because of Liu Qing's last wishes, but he didn't want to repeat such a request at this time.
For many people in this era, it is an honor to be buried in the ancestral grave after death.
Only those who have committed the most heinous crimes and ruined the reputation of the family will be deprived of this right.
Faced with such problems, Cao Jun had to remain silent for a while.
Now he is a traveling monk.
Buddhism also has a saying: silence is golden.
For a while, things came to an impasse.
Unexpectedly, a sudden murder broke the deadlock.
The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion suddenly brought a young hunter covered in blood to look for him.
As soon as they met, the hunter fell to his knees in front of him, his face full of fear, as if the sky was about to fall.
"Master, it's not good, the vixen has come to take revenge on our Liu family."
Cao Jun was also shocked in his heart.
According to his previous observation of Qi Seeking, the place where this fox spirit passed, surrounded by green qi, was logically not a murderous person.
Could it be that after breaking his leg, he held a grudge against the Liu family and waited for an opportunity to retaliate?
There is also this possibility.
Cao Jun touched his chin for a while, constantly rubbing, but he was a little uncertain.
Seeing that Cao Jun was wearing a short-haired robe, and a wine gourd was hanging from his waist, he was very like a well-traveled master, and immediately did not doubt him, and successively told the whole incident like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
It turned out that this hunter was a tenant farmer of the Liu family.
There are also many tenant farmers like him, who mainly plough the fields when they are busy, and go to the mountains to hunt to subsidize their families in their spare time.
The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water.
Qinghe County is surrounded by mountains and waters, the water is 'Qinghe', and the mountains are 'back mountains'.
Between mountains and rivers, the life of the farmers here is quite passable.
Just when Cao Jun brought Liu Qing's ashes back to Liu's house, this hunter, as in the past, made an appointment with several colleagues from the same village to go into the mountains to hunt.
Five or six people in the same company, overnight, died under the trap he had set out for no apparent reason, and he was the only one who escaped.
Five or six lives, this is also a big deal in Qinghe County.
What's more, the five or six people who died were all tenant farmers of the Liu family.
Because of the previous return of Liu Qing's ashes, Cao Jun can be regarded as having the light of the celebrity Liu Qing, and the tenants of the Liu family all know that there is a monk from the Liu family, with profound magic and a solemn treasure.
Orion told him what had happened, and Cao Jun immediately realized the confusion.
"Wait, you said those hunters all died in the traps they had arranged?"
"Yes, master, I have never encountered such a ridiculous thing, it must be the spirit that is causing trouble, and I ask the master to take action to kill the demons for Qinghe County!"
The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion who brought Orion over was also cautious on the side, "Master, that Orion usually sets traps to trap prey, how could he harm himself?" It's a strange thing. ”
Nonsense, everyone can see that it is strange, and you still need to say it?
Cao Jun was silent, and the housekeeper was white.
It is easy not to come to this backyard on weekdays, and only come to find yourself when you are in trouble, which is really not a son of man.
Now that I have this big trouble for myself, if I don't handle it well, I'm afraid I won't be able to wear the halo of this master for two days.
Although Cao Jun was annoyed in his heart, he still pretended to be calm and normal on the surface.
He walked back and forth in the backyard, and the more he thought about it, the more confident he became.
His strength, in real numbers, a bucket of water does not make a sound, and half a bucket of water swayes.
It's also a master among ordinary people, but if you encounter a monster, I'm afraid it's just reduced to food toys and the like, which is no different from ordinary people.
It's all one shoulder against one head, and if someone else dies, he can't die?
Now...... Some are difficult to ride.
He just got a copy of Taishang Qi Refining by chance, and planned to settle down in Qinghe County for the time being, and then talk about it, and now he hasn't even practiced the art of looking at qi, how did he become a master of slaying demons and demons with high mana?
I'm afraid that the demon didn't cut it, but paid himself in.
It is necessary to resort to external forces.
Well...... This pot is a bit big and one person can't afford to carry it.
Cao Jun made up his mind in three or two times, pretending to be very embarrassed, and said tentatively: "Is there a report to the official?" ”
"This..."
The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion had asked the grandmother in charge before, and the impact of this matter was not good, so he must have dealt with it himself behind closed doors first.
If the Liu family can't hold it down, they are considering reporting to the official.
The current Liu family is still floating on the cusp, and it is really better to have more than one thing.
Now Cao Jun asked, and the housekeeper had to give a vague answer, "The old woman has instructed, first ask the master to give me an idea, if it still can't be decided, then report to the official." ”
Cao Jun's eyes rolled, and he instantly understood the Liu family's plan.
The other party really regarded him as a master in the world.
If it's really a demon, he can't carry this cauldron alone!
Cao Jun suddenly spread his hands and deliberately shirked: "This matter is extremely unusual, if it is not handled well, it will not only be a disaster for the Liu family, but also a disaster for Qinghe County. ”
"Okay!"
After being frightened by Cao Jun like this, the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion also felt that it was better to be cautious, after all, it was a few lives.
The hunter was taken away by the housekeeper again, and in the afternoon, the Liu family really came to catch a few fast, and the leader was similar to Cao Jun, with a big knife on his waist and hips, and a felt hat on his head, and his appearance was mighty, and he looked a little extraordinary.
The housekeeper took a few people to the backyard to find Cao Jun, and introduced them to both parties: "Master, this is Liu Zhutou of the county government, who is responsible for investigating the case of Orion's death, but it's just ...... Liu Zhutou is not good at dealing with monsters, and the key point is to ask the master to call the shots. ”
Cao Jun saw that the other party regarded himself as the only hope, and his heart suddenly burst into Alexander.
I don't want to get into trouble anymore.
Now that Liu Qing's matter is not over, he is still living in Liu's house for nothing, if he blindly shirks it, it will inevitably be inconsistent with the previous image of a master.
People are coming, let's see!
Cao Jun hesitated for a while, and when he saw that several people were staring at him, his old face suddenly turned red, and he arched his hand and said, "This time, there is Lao Liu catching his head." ”
I don't know that Liu Zhutou doesn't look mighty in appearance, but he has a delicate heart and is an extremely slippery person.
When he saw that Cao Jun wanted to push the burden on himself, he immediately spread his hands and quietly pushed back.
"What is the master talking about, I am a mortal, if there is really a monster to make trouble, who is its opponent, this time I also ask the master to take the lead, and we can only beat the drum on the side to help the momentum."
Cao Jun saw that the other party was not in the trap, and his face suddenly sank, and he wanted to find an excuse to take the burden.
The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion was quite eye-catching, and seeing that the two sides were about to collapse, he suddenly waved his hand and asked the subordinate standing behind him to come over with a wooden plate.
Several people had also glanced at the wooden plate a few times before.
Because the wooden plate was covered with a red cloth, I don't know what it was.
At this time, the housekeeper lifted the red cloth in front of both parties, and suddenly a cloud of silver light blinded the eyes of several people.
I saw a few rows of silver ingots neatly placed on the wooden plate.
One silver ingot is 5 taels of silver.
On the entire wooden plate, I am afraid that there are no less than 50 taels of silver.
Cao Jun didn't care much about gold and silver now, and soon woke up from this silver light.
He glanced at the head catcher and the few catchers who came with him, and saw that the noses of several people were swollen, and the greed in his eyes could no longer be hidden.
The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion seemed to be very satisfied with the reactions of these people, and immediately rubbed his hands and said: "This is the old woman's meaning, if this matter is done, these silver taels belong to the master and Liu Zhutou, and they must not affect the reputation of the Liu Mansion." ”
"Know ......"
Before Cao Jun squeaked, Liu Zhutou took the wooden plate with his hand.
There was a coughing sound behind Leng Buding, but it was Cao Jun who reminded him that there was also his share in the wooden plate, so don't swallow it alone.
As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind.
Since Cao Jun wants to develop a wave of obscenity in Qinghe County, he always needs some living materials, and everything he eats, drinks, and lives every day is inseparable from money.
Although this Liu Mansion is good, it can't stay for a long time.
Sooner or later, you have to find another place.
This silver came by coincidence.
In fact, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, the main thing is that the other party is very sincere.
Cao Jun is not like Liu Zhutou's group, and in his gestures, his superior demeanor is revealed again.
"It's useless, and now it's not done, but I don't dare to receive the reward, and I ask Steward Liu to put it away first, and when we finish our work, it's not too late to receive it."
So, after going around in front of everyone, the plate of silver ingots returned to the hands of the housekeeper of the Liu Mansion.
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, he left some space to come out and discuss the matter of taking demons with Cao Jun and Liu Zhutou and others.
After Steward Liu said goodbye, Cao Jun and Liu Zhutou were naturally not polite.
He asked directly, "How are you going to handle the case?" ”
Several catchers glanced at each other, and finally came back to their senses from the beautiful vision of the silver ingot, and looked at Liu Zhutou with their eyes.
The old fritter posture on the latter's face was gone, and he regained his previous full righteousness, he clasped his fists with both hands, and raised his head upward: "Human life is at stake, naturally I have to go to the scene of the crime to take a look, if I can find any clues, it would be the best, if not, I can collect the corpse and pay the money to the Liu Mansion...... Ahem, I mean let the dead be buried in peace, can the master understand? ”
"Nature understands ......"
Cao Jun looked at the other party with a playful expression.
Since both sides are very open-minded and happen to want to go together, it would be the best.
Now both sides are unwilling to take the risk of encountering monsters, and they both have the idea of leaving with one shot, which can be regarded as coincidence.
If that's the case, it's okay to go with them.
So the two sides made an appointment to go to Liu's Mansion for dinner first, and after finishing the preparations, under the leadership of the previous Orion, they went to the back mountain.
