As soon as Ding Chengyuan's words came out, everyone in the pavilion was furious at this time, and they couldn't help but look at the young man in unison, and most of them had a little sympathy in their eyes.

Qi Jingzhi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he asked Zang Hailiang, the commander of the county army, "Dare to ask Zang Dutong, is there any death or injury in the team of armor soldiers who went out of the city in the evening to find the body of Ji Duwei?" The number of people entering and leaving the county town today has increased or decreased significantly, but have you ever encountered interception and interrogation outside the city?"

Zang Hailiang was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said, "The team of armor soldiers under my command didn't even touch the shadow of the thief, so naturally it was not damaged. As for the people, although no one paid any attention to it, they did not hear of anything unusual outside the city."

Qi Jingzhi nodded, looked at An Fenghou and said, "Ding Hou Mingjian, those people who are plotting against each other can intercept and kill the Demon Suppression Captain, and even assassinate the City God Yin Division first, but it is unlikely that they will besiege the entire county city like an iron bucket, otherwise they will attack the city directly from the east gate, and they will not be guilty of spreading rumors and committing a bloody case."

"Therefore, it is not necessary to have an iron horse or a master to send a letter for help, a few adults chose to send a few henchmen who are not familiar with cultivation, pretending to be ordinary people to go out of the city, although the pace is slower, but they can always deliver the emergency documents."

Ding Chengyuan's eyes flashed, nodded and shook his head: "I have already sent people, but you yourself said that ordinary people have slow feet, and they can't wait for the reinforcements from the state cities and counties to arrive, just in time to collect the bodies of our people!"

He paused, and said as if self-deprecating and reminding, "The others may be able to sneak out of the city, but all of you present are famous people in the county, so don't have such thoughts in your hearts."

Hearing An Fenghou say this, Han Songde, the county guard, immediately patted the armrest of the seat and said awe-inspiringly: "My generation has been favored by the lord of the country, and at this time of crisis, I should be loyal to my duties, appease the land and the people, and never dare to fear death and avoid disasters, and be ashamed for ten thousand years!"

Zang Hailiang, who was a martial artist, spoke a little slower, and at this time he had to say in a muffled voice: "It's the same with the whole city, the only death of the county army is to repay the country's kindness!"

Cui Zitao's face didn't seem to look good, and he also said: "As the commander of Changle County, Cui also has the responsibility of guarding the land, and I am willing to attach you to the tail!"

So, everyone's eyes were focused on Qi Jingzhi again.

At this time, Qi Jingzhi had already figured it out, he had been swaggering in the city all day, and he had already been seen by people with a heart, and he was by no means a suitable candidate to break through and send a letter, Ding Chengyuan called himself here, and it was not this idea.

"Actually, don't say it's a messenger, even a person walking around the city may encounter accidents, Cui Zitao and I rushed from the county government to the Anfeng Marquis Mansion, and we must have made another fishing bait along the way, but the people behind the scenes have never bitten the hook."

"Hey, Cui Zitao wants to revive the family, how can it be as simple as Ding Chengyuan just said, maybe in the performance of the Marquis of Anfeng's Mansion to the lord of the country in the future, Cui Zitao already has a merit of sparing his life and taking the initiative to be bait, as for whether my insignificant detective can be piggybacked, it depends on Marquis Anfeng's mood."

With this thought in his heart, Qi Jingzhi looked at Ding Chengyuan, the Marquis of An Feng, who was deep in the city and cold as iron, and felt a little more vigilant in his heart.

He doesn't have any credit, and he doesn't like to be coerced and persecuted, but the current situation is really dangerous, even if it is only for the sake of his own life, he has to tie up with everyone in this pavilion first.

Thinking about this section, Qi Jingzhi no longer hesitated, walked straight to Cui Zitao, and sat down under Zang Hailiang.

This move can be regarded as a statement made by him on behalf of the Demon Suppression Academy, so everyone present looked slightly relaxed, and they all bowed their heads to this detective who didn't even have a grade.

"That's all the good!"

Ding Chengyuan stroked his palms and smiled, then stood up and looked around in the pavilion: "You must have already known in your hearts, the last few days are the most dangerous time in this Jiuzhen County City, and it is not good to say that those thieves will be launched tonight, so Ben Hou will invite a few people to this pavilion after nightfall."

After that, he didn't wait for everyone's reaction, and suddenly walked quickly to the huge bronze incense burner in the center of the warm pavilion, and lifted the lid of the furnace.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a brilliant golden light emitting from the incense burner, which was so bright that it was dazzling, and at the same time, the strange fragrance in the warm pavilion suddenly became a little stronger

。

Qi Jingzhi looked at it and saw that there were many pieces of incense burning slowly in the bronze incense burner, and the faint fire light in the furnace came from this.

These incense sticks surround a bird's nest, and the branches of the nest are all made of gold, which looks vivid and extraordinarily rich and gorgeous.

In the Golden Nest, there are two exotic birds, shaped like finch, with soft golden feathers all over their bodies.

Ding Chengyuan took the lid of the furnace and took two steps out of the way, and motioned to everyone in the pavilion: "Everyone, please see, this warm pavilion is called Bihan Pavilion, this furnace is called Wenxiangwu, and these two are the golden birds that my Ding family has provided for generations!"

When everyone in the pavilion heard this, Rao is heart was heavy at the moment, and they couldn't help but perk up, and they rushed to look at the pair of golden birds.

Han Songde, the county guard, blurted out and asked, "But where is the origin of the East China Sea tribute 'Chill Gold'?"

Seeing Ding Chengyuan bow his head lightly, he continued, "Not bad! The golden bird is a treasure of the overseas burning continent, the most afraid of frost, snow, wind and cold, on weekdays it is placed in the warm pavilion furnace, and then fed with heavy iron, pearls and turtle brains, then this bird spits gold dust every day like millet, the grains are bright and gorgeous, warm jade and fragrant, so it is called "cold gold", which is loved by the nobles in the palace, and is used as a hairpin ornament.

Ding Chengyuan paused, suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, and added: "Because the output of this kind of treasure gold is very small, all of it is sent to the palace every year, don't say that the people can't see it, even I, the Marquis of An Feng, don't dare to keep it for my own use."

As soon as these words came out, the officials of Jiuzhen County looked at the large piece of gold embroidery on Ding Chengyuan's clothes, and then looked at the golden bird's nest in Wenxiangwu, and couldn't help but nod their heads, and praised An Fenghou for being loyal to the country and sincere, and he was really a model for the officials of Jiuzhen County.

At this moment, the two golden birds in the golden nest suddenly let out a few pleasant birdsongs, which then turned into strange sounds like coughing.

With every cough, they spit out one or two grains of gold, slightly larger than corn, from their mouths, and clanged into the nest, accumulating a small pile in a short time.

After the pair of golden birds vomited all the golden millet in their stomachs and lay down quietly back to the nest, Ding Chengyuan stepped forward to cover the warm incense dock again, returned to his seat and said to everyone: "At this time, it's not that Ben Hou is still in the mood to show off, but I just want to ask you to see it is believing...... In recent days, the diet of the birds has not changed in the slightest, but the production of the gold has increased several times, which is really strange."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the cabinet was thoughtful, after all, they were all officials in this East China Sea, and they more or less knew some things about the golden spirit.

The so-called "dock" refers to the high and concave mountains on all sides, or the place surrounded by water, the incense burner that raises the golden bird is not close on all sides, but it is called the warm incense dock, and around it is only the richest gold in the East China Sea. The sharp increase in the production of Bihan gold is mostly related to this.

Sure enough, I heard Ding Chengyuan continue: "Early this morning, Ben Hou summoned the Gong Cao of the Demon Suppression Commander's Office, and carefully inquired about the evil and strange things in the county, and the two adults Han Junshou and Zang Dutong came late, so they didn't listen to it all. According to what the other party said, most of the demons that have risen and fallen one after another recently are born from the two evils of gold and tiger, and most of them are golden evils."

Hearing him say this, Cui Zitao's face changed sharply, and he said, "If this is the case, I'm afraid this chaos is not just limited to Jiuzhen County!"

"Huh? How so?" At this time, even Ding Chengyuan, who knew the most about the situation, was stunned.

This is a major matter related to the situation in the East China Sea and his own safety, Cui Zitao did not dare to slack off, and immediately said: "Ten days ago, my father wrote a letter, saying that the autumn flood of fish and tigers along the coast of Laizhou is much longer than in previous years, and there is no trend of ebbing tide so far."

"There are groups of fish and tigers in the sea, and there are many things that besiege fishing boats and even land on the shore to make a nuisance, and the soldiers and civilians of Yecheng have been guarding the tiger embankment day and night, and even the extremely rare shark tigers have killed more than a dozen!"

Hearing this, Han Songde, the county guard on the side, couldn't help but interject: "As the saying goes, the head horn is grand, the tiger among the fish, the water rhino wind dolphin, and the cowardice is together!"

"This official has also heard of the fish and tiger tide in Laizhou, and there is a large or small flood season every autumn, and it is not surprising that this year it is more noisy, which is different from the golden evil in our Jiuzhen County

You can't go together, can you?"

Cui Zitao's face was quite grim, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Originally, the lower officials didn't take it seriously, but they still listened to what Ding Hou said, and then they had some thoughts."

"According to my father's letter, this autumn flood is not only quite fierce compared to previous years, but also the teeth and spines of the fish tiger are sharper, and the scale armor is harder, so it is much more difficult to kill. Now that I think about it, it's not just the tigers in the sea who are causing trouble, but the golden demons are more affected!"

When Ding Chengyuan heard this, his eyebrows were already twisted.

Others may not know, but the details of the Cui family in Yecheng can't hide from him, the so-called fish and tiger tide is inseparable from the ancestors of the Cui family, and a few fish and tigers are nothing, but the children of the Cui family for several generations are not angry, and they have gradually become a disaster in the sea.

He pondered quietly for a long time before he spoke: "The Yecheng Cui clan is based in Laizhou, and they are most familiar with the fish and tiger tide, but since the nephew has this suspicion, we have to think deeper. If it is really involved, the six prefectures of the East China Sea and the counties of Liaozhou will all have financial trouble, but I am afraid that the reinforcements will be fewer than we expected, and they will only come later!"

Hearing this, Han Songde and Zang Hailiang's faces were not very good-looking, and they turned their heads to discuss with their respective attachés in a low voice, obviously feeling that this matter was quite tricky.

In addition to Cui Zitao and Ding Chengyuan, Qi Jingzhi had the deepest understanding of the Cui clan in Yecheng, and when he heard the so-called fish and tiger tide, he couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to look at this Cui County Commander, and asked in a low voice, "Dare to ask Brother Cui, what is this fish tiger and shark tiger?"

Cui Zitao also knew that his "Picture of the Tiger Fish" was already known to this young man, and he didn't say that people would think about it, so although his face was a little unnatural, he answered simply.

"The fish tiger is a strange fish in the sea, with a head like a tiger, and a back skin like a hedgehog and spiny, and the fish dare not commit it. Although it is named after a tiger, and legend has it that a fish tiger can truly turn into a tiger when it comes ashore, but its size is only six or seven inches, and the two are really far from the same."

"As for the Shark Tiger...... It is a kind of sea shark, born with a tiger's head and black lines, the big one can have more than 200 catties, likes to land between the mountains and the sea, jumps and rolls at the foot of the mountain, and can turn into a tiger shape after about ten days, but the fins are the most difficult to change, and it takes a month to become a claw, and then it can roar in the mountains and forests."

"There are tiger embankments built on the shores of Laizhou, all of which are in the shape of hills, and when the shark tiger comes ashore, because its four legs are not successful, it can't walk on the ground, and it can't climb up, so it can be killed by a strong man stabbing with a spear on the embankment!"

The more Qi Jingzhi listened, the more strange the expression on his face became, and even a thought couldn't help but pop up: "It turns out that this problem with the tiger breeding is also the ancestral inheritance of the Cui family?"

Cui Zitao staggered the young man's gaze, as if he wanted to open his mouth to explain a few words, but in the end he just let out a light sigh.

At this moment, Ding Chengyuan suddenly closed his palms and made a crisp sound, which attracted the attention of everyone in the pavilion.

It's just that in this moment, this Marquis An Feng's face is already as usual, and the eyebrows that were twisted together before are stretched, and there is no trace of joy or anger: "You should now understand why this Marquis advocated stopping the corpse of the Wei clan in the White Cloud Palace. After all, the Wei clan has a special physique, and the death is quite miserable, if you let it go, it is inevitable that something bad will happen because of the golden evil."

Hearing this, Dutong Zang Hailiang immediately nodded: "In the end, there is a statue of the Autumn God in Baiyun Palace, and I also heard that Hou Ye's cousin is cultivating in the palace, so it is naturally more appropriate to have him take care of it!"

Ding Chengyuan shook his head lightly: "The younger brother of Benhou has no cultivation, and what he does in the Baiyun Palace is the master of the scriptures, and he only cares about the recitation of the scriptures in the scripture hall, but he ignores the mundane affairs."

"I put the corpses of the Wei clan there, in fact, I wanted to fish. After all, those thieves committed such a big crime, and what they used was obviously a demonic method, if they didn't make the best use of those more than 100 corpses, wouldn't it be too wasteful? Or...... Those corpses were the bait they had laid to lure us in!"

Ding Chengyuan paused, and finally showed a bit of the sharp edge of the dagger: "As for who is the fisher and who is the swimming fish in the end, it depends on their ability!"

Not long ago, Qi Jingzhi witnessed the old servant of the Cui family fishing with two lives in the Houya of Changle County, and he didn't want to meet An Fenghou who liked fishing even more.

"Just look at him at this time, he is still in the mood to show everyone the golden bird slowly, as if he is not in a hurry at all, maybe what he is practicing is the method of "the heart is like a peaceful lake, and the willing person is hooked" in the Demon Suppression Academy."

"It's just that I don't know what his fishing skills are, if he doesn't learn the art well, but is caught by those thieves behind the scenes, it will hurt others and himself, and it will be too late to regret it."

Ding Chengyuan naturally couldn't guess Qi Jingzhi's slanderous words.

He looked at the young man, the corners of his mouth hooked, and asked with a smile, "Qi Zhishi is quite kind to the Wei family, I don't know if I would like to go to the Baiyun Palace as bait?"
