Chapter 377: Seize the credit
Chinese Ye Lingyue and the others took the three children to the mayor's mansion together.
It's just that to their surprise, Luo Qianche and Jiang Ce are also in the mayor's mansion.
"How are you?"
Luo Qianche was very happy when he saw Di Xin, but as soon as he saw Ye Lingyue, his tone became unkind.
"We're here for the water ghosts. When the parents of these children had an accident, the townspeople couldn't help but say that they were going to burn down the house and kill people, and that this was a common practice in the town. ”
Ye Lingyue told what happened.
"Mayor Mare, is this really the case?"
Luo Qianche glanced at the children, and saw that they were skinny, small, and dirty, and what she hated most was dealing with such civilian children.
"Young City Lord, you don't know, we also have no choice. The matter of water ghosts is getting more and more intense. I had already issued an order in the town not to go out to fish. But the child's father didn't listen to the order to go fishing in private, and something happened when he came back. The people who came into contact with him died inexplicably, his wife died a few days earlier, and their family was all covered by water ghosts, and if they were not burned to death, the people of the town would suffer. ”
The mayor looked at the boy with a look of horror.
"We are not devils, and Daddy and Auntie are not possessed by ghosts. Our family has nothing to eat, Daddy doesn't fish, my younger brothers and sisters have nothing to eat, Daddy went fishing for us. ”
The eldest of them listened, wiped his nose, and cried out unwillingly.
He was about six or seven years old, the eldest of the three.
He may not understand the word death, but he knows the water ghost.
Ever since Daddy came back from fishing, the people in the town have been saying behind their backs that they are devils, and the children don't play with them anymore.
"Nonsense, the town has not always distributed rations to every household, how can there be no food. ”
The mayor blushed and reprimanded the child.
"Then we'll have to ask your good nephew, we've already asked the neighbors. This man relied on being the nephew of the mayor of the town, hoarded grain, sold it at a high price, and made a windfall by taking advantage of the haunting of the water. There was more than one hungry towntown, and those townspeople had no food or money, so they had to go out to fish. ”
Ye Lingyue grabbed the militia captain and fell to the ground.
The latter's face turned pale with fright, and he kowtowed vigorously and begged for mercy.
"How can this be, what a dog minion. ”
When Luo Qianche heard this, he was very unhappy.
She and Ye Lingyue arrived in Yuliao Town at about the same time, but in one night, Ye Lingyue actually found out so many things, which made her, the young city lord, very faceless.
The power of reincarnation in Luo Qianche's hand condensed and turned into a spirit dagger, which was about to be wiped against the neck of the militia captain.
"Wait. ”
saw Ye Lingyue slashing his hand to stop Luo Qianche.
"What to do, I will teach my men when it is your turn to take charge. ”
Luo Qianche glared angrily.
"It's useless to kill him, this matter, in the final analysis, lies in the water ghost, killing a corrupt person, and the problem of Yuliao Town still can't be solved. ”
Ye Lingyue had already inquired, and the matter of water ghosts was in the villages and towns along the river in the Hanshui area, and it had existed since ancient times.
But for some reason, the trouble is particularly strong in the rest of the month, and the water ghosts used to be at most several times a year, but recently almost all the fishermen who went out of the boat have been killed.
There are already many people in the town who have died because of water ghosts.
Some households, because a person was possessed by a water ghost, the whole family was treated as a ghost, or burned to death or imprisoned, like this time, if they hadn't stopped it, those children would have become unjust ghosts.
"Then you say, what should I do?"
Luo Qianche is also suspicious of the water ghost.
"It's very simple, the bell must be tied to the bell, and we can find out the water ghosts in order to truly resolve the crisis in Yuliao Town. ”
Knowing that Ye Lingyue was going to catch the water ghost in person, the town chief was shocked.
"Adults must not. The water ghost is very ferocious, and there is no trace of it, we have organized militia guards to arrest people earlier, and even paid some demon hunters at a high price, but all of them have been useless. And after offending the water ghosts, the casualties in the town will be even more serious. ”
As soon as the mayor mentioned this, he broke out in a cold sweat.
At the beginning, he also thought about catching the water ghosts, but as soon as the militia guards arrived in the area where the water ghosts were often haunted in Hanshui, it was obviously a weather without wind and waves, but the boat capsized all of a sudden.
The demon hunters also tried to fly into that body of water to find out.
But after entering that area, the spirit weapon will fail for no reason, and those demon hunters will fall into the Han River with the spirit weapon, and finally the corpse capital cannot be recovered.
After a long time, the haunting of water ghosts in Yuliao Town became known to everyone, and even the most experienced demon hunters did not dare to mention catching water ghosts anymore.
Yuliao Town is also deserted day by day.
"How can this be reasonable, you confuse us with those ordinary demon hunters, but we are just water ghosts, what's the big deal, I am the blood of the water god, protected by the gods, and I will definitely be able to capture them when I go out. Luo Qianche listened and reprimanded the mayor.
"Yes, the young city lord has a divine beast to protect his body, so he doesn't have to be afraid of any cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. I went to the Hanshui Valley with you to see, we are here to solve the difficulties of the people of Yuliao Town, but it is not like some people, who only know how to move their mouths, but in fact they are greedy for life and afraid of death. Jiang Ce also echoed Luo Qianche.
The reason why Luo Qianche and Jiang Ce are so confident is also because of the presence of the merman king, in their opinion, the merman king is the king of the water area, and when the water ghost sees him, he is bound to have no way to hide.
Ye Lingyue, Di Xin and the others were helpless when they heard this.
Ye Lingyue looked at the merman king again, his aqua blue eyes, which were originally very melancholy, looked even deeper at this time.
At noon that day, Luo Qianche and Jiang Ce and others forced the mayor and others to send a boat to the Hanshui Basin.
Watching the boat sail out, Huang Jun and the others were still unwilling.
"Ling Yue, why didn't you keep quiet, you obviously brought up the matter of catching the water ghost first, but let them take the lead, if they really caught the water ghost, the townspeople of Yuliao Town would all have to support them. ”
"In my opinion, the water ghost is not that easy to deal with. There is not only one way to turn the people's back. Let's go to the town first and check on the townspeople who died for no reason and the others. ”
Ye Lingyue looked at the wide surface of the Han River, and had an ominous premonition in her heart.
She always felt that there was an indiscernible cold aura on the surface of the river, which kept spreading, as if something was about to come out of the bottom of the water. Cat flutter Chinese
