Chapter Ninety-One: Investigate to the End
"Bastard, who are you?"
Cheng Taowei of Jindoucheng County was furious, his eyes breathed fire, he looked directly at the man in green shirt who suddenly appeared in front of him, and said sharply: "I am an official of the imperial court, how can you be arrogant and domineering!" ”
"Someone, come on, there is an assassin who wants to assassinate the official!"
Immediately, he quickly retreated, shouting outside the house, summoning the errand servants in the palace.
All of a sudden, the Jindoucheng Mansion was in chaos, and the whole mansion was alarmed.
When the officials of each squad heard the sound, they held their swords and looked hurried, and quickly blocked the water surrounding the inner house.
Boom!
The little monk Lichen rushed into the house with a group of fast arresters, and in an instant, the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense.
"The demonic aura on your body is very strong, don't change the subject!"
Zhang Tao's eyes were sharp, and he casually glanced at the officers and soldiers waiting behind him, calmly, looked sideways at the jade-faced Shura Goddess Catcher, and reminded: "Thank you, the demonic aura on his body is exactly the same as the breath of the fox demon, they must have something to do with it, please take him down and interrogate him." ”
"Otherwise, after letting him ventilate and report the news, it will be difficult to catch that cunning fox demon again!"
As soon as he entered the room, he noticed that there was a demonic aura in the room.
In addition to the amazing temperament of the ninth princess, which first made him feel sideways, the rest of his attention was all focused on the county lord who was sitting on the opposite side.
This disgusting aura is exactly the same as the smell emanating from the fox demon.
"Myths confuse the public!"
County Cheng Tao Wei was furious, raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Tao's nose, trembling with anger, and shouted angrily: "The old man is upright, how can he be an accomplice of the demons, you are a madman with bad intentions, intending to murder the old man!" ”
"What are you still standing for? Hurry up and take down this person for this official! ”
He blew his beard and glared, looked at Zhang Tao who was fierce in the field, and then looked at the officers gathered at the door, and gave orders in a hurry.
However, the officials hesitated, stood still, holding their sabers tightly in their hands, their faces showing fear, and glanced at the jade-faced Shura standing sideways in the room, and then looked at the angry county lord in the innermost part, and was in a dilemma.
The name of the six doors is too loud!
In the end, under their hesitation, they all tacitly chose to stay put, focusing their attention on the six doors goddess and the nine princesses.
"Presumptuous! What do you want to do? Want to see if this gangster can't kill his own official? ”
Seeing that everyone was unmoved, the county Cheng Tao Wei was so angry that he trembled, his hands and feet were cold, and he scolded angrily: "Do you still want to rebel?" ”
"Tao Xiancheng, this is serious!"
At this time, Zhou Qianxue, the ninth princess, who had always been light and breezy, raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "With this princess here, who dares to rebel?" ”
"You don't have to be so excited, since this little brother came with Xie Shenzhuo, then he definitely has no malicious intent!"
As she spoke, she looked at the group of errands gathered at the door, waved her sleeves, and signaled, "Wait and retreat first, there is nothing to do with you here!" ”
"Whoa!"
The public arrester was amnesty, looked at the ninth princess in awe, and quickly withdrew from the house.
They came and went as fast as they could.
"Amitabha, Brother Zhang, what's going on?"
The little monk didn't know why, and when he saw the crowd quickly quitting, he didn't leave with them, but came to Zhang Tao's side with a puzzled face, looked at the ninth princess and the jade-faced Shura, and said respectfully: "The little monk has seen Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
"Tell the truth!"
Zhang Tao's eyes were sharp, indiscriminate, staring at Tao Xiancheng, and said indifferently: "Don't force me to make a move!" ”
His tone was arrogant and domineering, like a fierce and vicious thug.
Tao Wei was sweating profusely, a little at a loss, and he didn't understand what this man who came in with the goddess wanted to do?
He didn't have any monsters at all, and he didn't see any monsters, so where did he explain the whereabouts of the monsters, he was forced by the other party's ferocity, and he really couldn't say it.
"Ninth princess, the petty official has been wronged!"
In an instant, he burst into tears, looked at Zhou Qianxue with grievances, and asked for help: "Please also ask the princess to be the master of the petty officials and punish this villain who has no king's law." ”
By now, he can understand the current situation, and everything now is the princess's disadvantage in order to catch the monster he did.
Thinking that he had turned a blind eye to the uproar in the city recently, Tao Wei felt a panic, which must have been blamed by the princess for his bad behavior and violation of the law of Dali.
"Whether you are wronged or not, this princess has her own decision!"
Zhou Qianxue stood up elegantly like a spring breeze, glanced at the fierce Zhang Tao, then stopped at the jade-faced Shura, and said, "Sister Ziwei, what's going on?" ”
"This person is the demon hunter mentioned by Lin Bufan, a thousand households of the Demon Slaying Hall of the Heaven Survey Division, Zhang Tao!"
Hearing this, the jade-faced Shura arched his hand slightly, and explained respectfully: "He found out that there was a demonic spirit here, and he was worried that Her Royal Highness the princess would be in danger, so he didn't tell him in advance." ”
After a while, she added: "And I have examined the bodies of those dead babies, and they all lost an internal organ, so I guess that the monsters here are collecting the baby's internal organs, if they can't be caught in time, I'm afraid there will be more innocent babies who die tragically!" ”
"However, after a brief investigation in the palace, they didn't make any mistakes in this, so they let the monsters harm people... This Tao County is to blame! ”
In the end, her eyes were sharp, her jade face was full of evil energy, and she stared at the old man in the opposite county for a moment.
At this moment, Zhang Tao saw Shura's appearance from her, and she had the posture of pulling out a knife to kill people if she didn't agree with her.
"Explain why, after learning that there are monsters harming people, why didn't you conduct a city-wide search?"
Seeing this, he took over Xie Ziwei's topic and continued to ask the other party, "Could it be that you are protecting that fox demon and have something to do with the other party?" ”
"Wronged, wronged!"
As soon as these words came out, Tao Wei kept shaking his head, and he didn't agree with the words of the other party's testimony, he shouted wronged, and hurriedly explained: "Jindou City relies on the merchants in the city to survive, once a notice is posted in the city, and the monsters are hunted with great fanfare, it will definitely affect the prosperity of the city." ”
"If you scare off the caravans coming and going nearby, then the people will be miserable and the people will be panicked."
He explained with a handful of snot and tears: "The petty official is all for the livelihood of the people, and he has to make this appeasement decision as a last resort..."
"Rising to the top?"
Before the words fell, Zhang Tao snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a sneer, and said: "Master Tao is really a good parent official, for the livelihood of the people, he doesn't care about the life of the baby!" ”
"I just don't know, does this affect Lord Tao's way to make a fortune, or does it cut off the people's livelihood?"
Ignoring life for the sake of money and turning a blind eye to the mutilation of babies, Zhang Tao hates these dog officials who are greedy for profit and careless of human life.
Often these people, for their own interests, on the surface shout benevolence, righteousness and morality, love their names like children, and always emphasize that they are for the sake of the people, but in fact, behind the scenes, men and women are prostitutes, and they are dirty!
If it weren't for the divine capture of the six doors and the presence of the ninth princess of the dynasty, with his violent temper, he would have rushed forward with one punch and exploded the opponent's dog head.
No wonder when he came to Jindou City for the first time, he still felt a little surprised, the thriving and prosperous scene he saw was all an illusion, but it was turbulent and bloody in secret, and the people were not afraid of it at all, and they did not have the fear of monsters.
It turns out that there are people in it who are fueling the troubles, forcibly suppressing the news of the monsters' rebellion, and hiding most of the vendors in the dark, for the sake of the so-called political achievements and interests, ignoring their conscience, ignoring the deaths and injuries of ordinary people, and blindly conniving at the monsters to harm people.
After knowing the truth, his heart became even more angry, and sometimes the human heart is more hateful and terrifying than the monster.
"Amitabha, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!"
The little monk folded his hands together, sighed, showed compassion on his face, and said, "Lord County, you have really gone too far in this matter!" ”
"Master Tao, is there such a thing?"
The ninth princess's face was gloomy, and after hearing Zhang Tao's questioning, her soft gaze instantly became cold, and she said in a cold tone, asking: "Ignoring the law and ignoring the lives of the people, he is really a good parent who loves his name like a son!" ”
"It's really a blessing for me to have an official like Lord Tao!"
Word by word, the voice was soft and clear, but when it fell into Tao Wei's ears, there were five thunderbolts, and the sky was thunderous, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground on the spot, and hurriedly shouted that Weichen knew his mistake, and the old tears were rampant.
"The ninth princess is angry, and the little one will send someone to search the whole city for the whereabouts of the monster!"
As he spoke, he crawled and ran to the other party's side, begging for mercy with a worried expression: "Please also ask the ninth princess to give the little one another chance to atone for his sins." ”
"No need, that monster is by your side, you don't need to search and chase it everywhere."
Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Zhang Tao's face was serious, and he directly interrupted: "As long as you tell you in detail about the places you have been to recently and who you have seen, I will find the whereabouts of the fox demon according to the clues." ”
After thinking for a moment, he added: "The demonic energy in your body is not accumulated in a day, you must have close contact with that monster, and you will stay together for a long time!" ”
Immediately, he told the phenomena he saw through the [Taishang Guan Qi Technique] and his own guesses, and let the Nine Princesses and the Jade-faced Shura decide for themselves.
If they can take the method, Zhang Tao is ninety percent sure that he will find out the monster hiding in the dark according to the clues, and avenge the mother and son who are not blind.
"Great goodness!"
Hearing the words in his ear, the little monk was the first to react, his bright eyes flashed with joy, and he said excitedly: "I also ask the county lord to think about the safety of the people in the city, and quickly explain the recent itinerary clearly." ”
"In this way, Brother Zhang can find the fox demon and kill it smoothly!"
Lichen hurriedly urged: "Otherwise, if you delay for a few more moments, the women and babies in the city will be in more danger." ”
