Chapter 22: First Encounter

Zhao Wuwu listened to the words from Steward Mo, and couldn't believe his ears, his father, who had always forced himself to enter the official career, actually agreed to let him continue to work in Xiping Mansion, I am afraid that the sun will come out of the west tomorrow, right?

After Steward Mo passed the word, he said: "I have asked the kitchen to prepare eight-treasure porridge, you can rest early after eating, this is the detailed content of tomorrow's case sent by Xiping Mansion, and the person who sent the letter said that he had to rush to the place of the incident early tomorrow morning to investigate the case!"

Zhao Wuwu took the letter handed by Steward Mo, and after seeing him leave, he finally became paralyzed. He slowed down for a full quarter of an hour before his knee recovered from the numbness, and Ding Shan, who was waiting outside, hurriedly ran to help him to the bedroom.

Because he had been kneeling all day, both of his knees were purple red, and Mother Wu hurriedly took the blood powder and rubbed it carefully for him.

"Ouch, look at this leg, if you kneel down again, it should be useless! Second Young Master, your small body is weak, how can you withstand such a toss?"

Zhao Wuwu didn't think so, his mind was full of pondering the words from the housekeeper, and he couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, it was clear again.

Zhao Wuwu got up early in the morning and rushed to Xiping Mansion, this time is different from the past, he is full of expectations for the days to come! It just so happened that Zhou Yong stretched his waist and opened the door and walked out, and his mind immediately cleared up when he saw him.

"Boss, you're finally back, and you've been talking about it all day long in the brethren these days!"

Zhao Wuwu stepped forward with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, although Zhou Yong is not very old and his brain is not very good, but fortunately, he is loyal and down-to-earth, and he can rest assured that anything will be handed over to him.

"I've worked hard for you in the past few days, I carefully studied the letter you sent yesterday, and I think there are still many doubts, you quickly call a few brothers, and we will go again!"

Zhou Yong saw that he looked refreshed and smiling, and he must have had some happy event, so he leaned over happily and said, "Boss, don't worry, the brothers will come out after a while, and Cao Fuyin will also say hello." But you ...... today It seems a little unusual, how can you look like you're in a good mood, could it be that Lord Shangshu agreed to your lifelong event yesterday?"

What Zhou Yong said was naturally the illusory 'family matter' that Shen Yan had come up with, but Zhao Wuwu didn't know anything about it, and only nodded when he said that his father agreed that he would continue to work in Xiping Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yong's reaction was even bigger than when he knew it, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, only to see him clapping his hands and immediately asking: "Great, is that day set?"

Zhao Wuwu began to wonder if Zhou Yong had been secretly monitoring all night, otherwise how could he even know about the three-year contract given by his father?

He was about to speak, but the officials in the mansion yawned and walked out one after another, and when they saw Zhao Wuwu, they quickly clasped their fists and nodded in greeting. Zhou Yong saw that the timing was not right, and hurriedly gave him a look that I understand you, and then said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will keep it secret for you!"

Zhao Wuwu looked at him blankly, and then nodded silently.

The group rode fast horses to the entrance of Furong Village, but did not see the shadow of the village chief. Zhou Yong got off the horse first, and took two people to patrol around the village, and was stunned and didn't see anyone.

"Why don't we go to the place where the corpses are placed first?"

Zhou Yong took them outside the house with his memory, and it happened that a villager brought a Taoist priest from the entrance of the village. Zhao Wuwu looked at the Taoist priest from a distance and looked a little familiar, and when he got closer, he took a look, wasn't this person Shen Yan's master?

"Xiaosheng Zhao Wuwu, I've seen Lu Daochang!"

"It's good, it's good!"

After Lu Jingyi politely replied to the courtesy, when he saw that there were acquaintances all around, his shelf immediately couldn't hold back, and he looked around with his eyes.

"Why haven't I seen that good disciple? I heard that Shangqiu sent an official to investigate the case, I thought it was my disciple and Brother Shen! I originally wanted to surprise them, but now it seems that ...... No fun!"

Of course he couldn't see his good man, because Shen Yan was busy sneaking someone down at this time, and this person was his own father Shen Cong'an!

It is said that when he got up early in the morning, he saw his father sneaking out and going straight to the direction outside the city. He can't let his father go out to have a private meeting with others, even if this tofu seller has a bit of a look, he definitely has to pass his own level to be qualified to be his stepmother!

He pondered in his heart while following Shen Cong'an, and when he occasionally wandered for a few seconds, he looked up and found ...... People are lost!

"This huge forest can run faster than a rabbit!"

Shen Yan leaned against the edge of the tree with his hands on his hips, muttering to himself that he was very annoyed, but his brain was cramping, why don't you follow here?

He was sulking, and suddenly someone behind him gently patted him twice, he thought he was caught by Shen Cong'an, and hurriedly covered his dog's head with his hand to save his life, but he cautiously saw the face of a strange woman through his fingers.

"Childe don't be afraid, the little girl is just passing through here and getting lost, dare to ask if you can help lead the way?"

The woman bowed her head and took a step forward with a shy, her watery eyes fluttering, but in a moment she touched his chest with both hands, which made Shen Yan clever.

Good guy, the girls in Chunxiang Building are not as hot as her, and the first time she sees a woman who is going to pounce!

But when one of her hands slowly went up and was about to touch Shen Yan's neck, she suddenly felt a tingling pain, which frightened her and immediately retracted her hand.

"You actually have a demon amulet, who are you?"

"Charm charm?"

Shen Yan thought about it carefully, and took out the pendant hanging around his neck from his clothes, this thing was not what Master Zu had to hang on his neck back then, saying that it could save his life and drive away evil spirits, and he had been wearing it for many years without thinking too much.

Seeing that he was silent, the monster thought that he was a master of demon hunting, and made up his mind to get rid of him and never suffer from it.

"Hmph, don't think that I'm scared of you with a little demon amulet!"

She suddenly showed a fierce face, changed her delicate and lovely posture, the fangs in her mouth protruded, and the sharp weapon in her hand was ready to be fired, and the posture from top to bottom looked like she wanted to eat him raw.

"Wait...... What's the situation?"

Before Shen Yan could react, her sharp claws scratched up and tore a hole in his clothes, revealing the white skin inside, he quickly glanced at his torn sleeves, but fortunately his arms were not injured.

"Are you really here?!"

Shen Yan saw that this woman obviously wanted to challenge his bottom line, and without saying a word, the two of them fought.

She was extremely vicious, and she wanted to cut his neck directly with every move. However, she obviously underestimated Shen Yan's ability, no matter how powerful the demon was, the suppressed mana was not much different from ordinary people. So after a few rounds in a row, the monster obviously had a disadvantage, and she took the opportunity to run as soon as she saw that the situation was not right, but how could Shen Yan let it go so easily?

He flew forward and stabbed the monster in the back, and the blue blood splashed all over the ground in an instant, Shen Yan looked at the blue on his knife and was stunned.

"You're not...... How did you...... What kind of monster are you?"
