Inside the tent.

Jiang Chen looked at the merchant Yi Qiu's gaze, and he showed a little more pity, and said in a deep voice:

"I'll do my best to help you find the murderer, but I also need more information from you, just a trace of fishy smell may not be enough for me to send people to search the whole city, not to mention ......"

Yi Qiu's face showed a painful expression, as if the spirit and spirit in his body had disappeared at this moment, and he said bitterly:

"I understand what adults mean, my daughter is probably no longer alive, so I ......"

was silent for a few seconds, and Yi's slightly weathered middle-aged face gradually revealed a trace of hatred that penetrated deep into the bone marrow:

"As long as the adults can kill the murderer, I am willing to build a bridge between the adults and the local big households, as long as you get their support, you can stabilize the situation in Dongli as soon as possible, right?"

Jiang Chen pondered for a while in his heart, if there was cooperation from local forces, whether it was law and order, or building granaries, and raising military rations, the difficulty would inevitably be greatly reduced.

Moreover.

Let a corpse demon lurk in the city, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will set off a big mess, and the "20 great merits, 200 small merits" promised by the school captain will inevitably come to naught.

Think of it.

Jiang Chen opened the "Little Desolation Sutra" and turned all the way to the last few pages to find what he needed - a simplified version of the scavenging ritual!

A few days ago, he ventured to open the scavenger promotion ceremony, and vaguely felt the location of dozens of high-value treasures in the city.

ultimately

He chose to pick up the portrait of the door god.

But thinking about it from another angle, the scavenging ritual naturally has the potential effect of picking up treasures!

Therefore.

Zhang Baisui, the head of Laotun, studied carefully for several months and designed a low-profile version of the waste picking ceremony.

As long as "lightning strikes wood five coins + winter crickets that have survived a year of frost and snow + six taels of weeds", you can vaguely sense the treasures in the surrounding area.

Due to the reduced intensity of the ritual, most of the time, the old tun chief can only pick up some garbage, and is ridiculed by others as a "garbage guy", but occasionally he can find some good things in inaccessible places.

And those who are looking for real existence only need to take the white crystals and sniff the personal items with the corresponding breath.

It's like asking a hound to sniff something.

Jiang Chen smiled lightly and asked:

"Can you give me some of your daughter's usual belongings, maybe it will help with tracking."

Hear the words.

Yi Qiu was overjoyed, immediately turned home, took a rattle, and said: "This is my daughter's favorite toy, every night, I have to shake it two or three hundred times before I can sleep." ”

"Well, that's suitable."

During the time when Yi Qiu was returning home, Jiang Chen also sent people to find lightning strike wood, winter crickets and weeds, and a brand new medicine jar that would soon shatter.

"Every time a scavenging ceremony is held, a medicine jar loses its life."

Jiang Chen smiled knowingly, and reproduced the operation of the scavenger ceremony a few days ago.

Soon.

The medicine jar rumbled and shattered!

Jiang Chen found a small white crystal, opened his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach.

Instantly.

Everything around them turned into horror at this moment, but the degree of distortion was not as serious as the last time, only a little similar to the death of the East Plough, and everyone seemed to have turned into ghosts.

Jiang Chen restrained the fear in his heart, only to feel that his soul was fluttering and falling, and it seemed to be closer to the earth...... No, maybe the legendary Underworld!

He couldn't help but guess in his heart:

"Maybe it's the influence of the aura of the underworld that makes me see normal things as all kinds of terrifying things."

Jiang Chen held the rattle in his hand and asked the earth for information.

After a few seconds.

The vast land that carries everything in the world has several vague messages.

Jiang Chen inspired the "Ranger of the Han", and a simple map of Dongli City immediately appeared in his mind, and based on the information obtained, he anchored the location of Yi Qiu's daughter.

Cheng!

Xu Gongfu!

This is a family that defected from the David Wu Dynasty to Loulan in the Western Regions, and all of them are not less than eight feet tall and handsome.

Even the last emperor of the previous dynasty once favored a male pet surnamed Xu, and he was promised the title of Duke Xu.

As a result, the Xu family prospered for a while.

But once a son of heaven and a courtier, after the establishment of the David Wu Dynasty, Emperor David Gaozu favored the art of war of martial generals and generals, and was disgusted with the former male favorite family and repeatedly suppressed.

The Xu family had to flee to the Western Regions, and in this Dongli City, they have survived to this day.

The "Duke Wen", who had been in charge of the civil affairs of Dongli City for decades, was born in the Xu family, and most of the officials at all levels in Dongli City were also controlled by the children of the Xu family.

"Is there a remnant of the previous dynasty?"

Jiang Chen snorted coldly, and ordered Xiao Wu and the other four shis to stay and guard the granary, and he led Gongsun Hu and the other four shi, and immediately went to the north of Dongli City.

And when he arrived at the gate, he remembered that he had been here for the first time during the scavenging ceremony, but the gate was damaged and the inside was messy, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

However!

Yi Qiu was furious, and said in a deep voice:

"My lord, this is just a trick!"

"The gate was deliberately destroyed, and the surface was looted, but in the underground secret room, there are still dozens of Xu clan people hiding in it, relying on traders to secretly transport some vegetables and meat into it at night, and leave immediately when the city gate is completely opened."

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, these Xu clan people are quite clever, and they actually know how to empty the city, virtual and real, and the army is impermanent.

If you add the possible corpse demons, the difficulty of attacking the Duke of Xu's Mansion is probably far beyond imagination, and with only the four soldiers behind him, he can't eat it at all.

Think of it.

Jiang Chen dispatched a man to quickly rush to the barracks.

…………

Inside the barracks.

As soon as he heard the word "corpse demon", Feng Lebin was overjoyed, and immediately summoned more than 60 Qingzhou soldiers around him and rushed to the north of the city.

And Fan Liangshan, another hundred generals who stayed in the city, could only shed tears of envy and jealousy.

The opportunity to hunt demonic creatures has always been very rare.

After all, after killing it, it will be favored by the spiritual light of the righteous path, and the intelligence of this kind of creature is only half of that of its life, and it is the king of the battlefield, but in the non-battlefield environment, the chance of being killed by hunting is extremely high.

Small risk, big return!

But on the contrary, he has only one side to the "militia hundred generals Jiang Chen".

When they met, they still did a very low price deal, and Fan Liangshan had to watch the great opportunity fall on Feng Lebin's head.

"What a fool has a fool's fortune!"

Fan Liangshan was extremely annoyed and said:

"If you buy Jiang Baijiang's antique calligraphy and paintings at the market price that day, you can also rub some soup and water today!"

…………

Inside the Central Barracks.

Captain Zhang Ying was expressionless and stood in the first seat, listening to the report of the people below, and said with interest:

"I didn't expect that the last corpse demon who escaped was actually hiding in Duke Xu's mansion, but it was cheaper for that kid."

After pondering for a few breaths, Zhang Ying threw out a spell in the shape of a short sword and commanded:

"The corpse demon in its heyday is not easy to deal with, hand over this thing to Jiang Baijiang, and after discovering the traces of the corpse demon, you must use it as soon as possible."

Minfu nodded yes and immediately turned back.

…………

Minutes and seconds passed.

Unconsciously, Duke Xu's Mansion was already heavily surrounded.

With 500 people quickly carrying all kinds of supplies, coupled with the full support of the merchant Yi Qiu, a simple line of defense was soon established on the periphery of the mansion.

Even if it's a mouse or a bird, don't even think about running out!

Jiang Chen even sent twelve people with excellent ear power, with the Xu Gongfu as the center of the circle, lying on the ground in twelve directions, listening to the underground movement at any time, in case there is a secret passage.

Without it, only steady ears!

When Feng Lebin arrived with more than sixty Qingzhou soldiers, Jiang Chen touched the short sword charm in his arms, and finally smiled.

Even if there is really a mature corpse demon hidden in Duke Xu's mansion, now, he has the power to fight!

Everything is ready to go.

"Gun in hand, follow me!"

Jiang Chen snorted lightly, woke up the newly revived life grid "guard", the surface of his body suddenly hardened, and he took the lead to the gate of Duke Xu's Mansion.

Instantly.

In the depths of the sea, the golden light flashes:

[The second crimson fate is being stimulated! ] 】

Jiang Chen was overjoyed in his heart, and sure enough, the last corpse demon in Dongli City was hidden in this Duke Xu's Mansion!
