As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the three hungry and thirsty eyes in the hall as if they were about to drip out of the water immediately rushed towards Lu Renjie.

"Oh? What hard beans do you have in this meat gourd, boy? Hurry up and pour it all out, don't hide it in front of Bencha! ”

Zhang Deshuai hurriedly opened his mouth and said in a commanding tone.

Lu Renjie nodded, his index finger tapped on the tabletop, and he said with a calm and confident posture of strategizing and becoming a bamboo in his chest,

"The two of you don't know, when you come back, you actually turned over the city wall, avoided the city gate of the county government, and deliberately walked the remote laneway, and never encountered any patrols along the way, at this moment, the entire Moyang County knew that a few people in our hall knew that I killed an evil fox demon when I patrolled,

Next, we just need to cover this news well, don't spread it from the yamen, and wait for two days to set up an ambush near the abandoned Hao Temple outside the city, and if there is really any poisonous lotus Dao person to connect with the fox demon, we can prove that this information is true, and we can also lock down a key person involved in this case on the spot......"

"Tsk! What a great idea! I've been busy all day today, and my brain is so busy that I didn't think of this method! What do you think, Lao Zhang? ”

Listening to Lu Renjie's words, Zhu Sihou's eyes lit up, as if he had been empowered, he slapped his head suddenly, let out an exclamation in his mouth, and turned his head to look at Zhang Deshuai to ask for advice.

This little official is so thoughtful......

When chasing monsters, it's okay to follow over the wall, how can normal people go over the wall to avoid the gatekeeper when they return to the city?

He also deliberately took the back alleys to avoid all the streets of the night watch? This must be a careful plan that has just been planned in the heart of the monster to cover people's eyes and ears to prevent the news from leaking, and only wait for two days to ambush the Poison Lotus Dao people to confirm the fox demon's confession!

This young man's mind is not simple!

Zhang Deshuai sighed silently in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Lu Renjie a few more times before he nodded in agreement,

"It is true that Lu Cha is as careful as a needle, and this plan is very well planned."

"Hey, hey! Good! Then let's act according to this plan! Xiaojie, you kid is so good! Tonight, I did Uncle Gang and the two of them a big favor! If the follow-up case can be successfully solved, you kid should be the first to take the lead! Rewards! ”

Seeing that the two demon slaying guards all agreed, Liu Zhigang on the side finally patted Lu Renjie's shoulder, and praised with a proud smile on his face.

"Uncle Gang has won the award, this is the duty of the little nephew."

Lu Renjie replied with a humble smile, while secretly paying attention to the other two Demon Slayer Guards, he knew that judging from the expressions and reactions of these two, he had obviously left a good first impression on each other.

In the next two days, Lu Renjie did not patrol the streets again, but stayed in the yamen as planned, listened to the dispatch of the two demon slayers, and practiced with the other four demon killers selected to discuss matters related to the ambush and roundup.

During this period, he learned that the two Demon Slayer Guards were both masters of the Eight-Rank Refining Mid-Stage Transformation Blood Realm, and the martial arts blood displayed during the practice of combined attacks was very domineering, which attracted the envy of Liu Zhigang and the other officials who had been stagnant in the Eight-Rank Initial Transformation Force Realm for seven years.

Lu Renjie was not very envious in his heart, he knew that if he could successfully obtain the Heavenly Spirit Pill in the future, he would be able to reach or even surpass such a realm in less than two months.

The practice of the "Soul Devouring Demon Codex" has not stopped, as long as he is free, he will secretly inhale, after all, this exercise is simple to perform, standing and sitting, lying on his stomach, as long as his mind is not confused, he can swallow it with mental concentration.

In just two days, he clearly noticed that the essence and liquid condensed in his body had increased a lot, and the Zhongyi Mansion had been filled with a small half, warming his lungs and meridians and bones around his body, which was extremely refreshing, and his increasingly vigorous energy made him sleep for only three hours in the past two days.

During this period, there was another murder on the streets of Moyang County, a pickpocket was found by others when he was stealing silver on the street, and the owner grabbed it and asked to return the stolen silver, the pickpocket refused to admit it, and even pulled out a dagger in anger to intimidate the passers-by who broke him, and wanted to blackmail the other party to clarify for him, and was beaten to death by several Jianghu guests.

This corpse was collected because there were no relatives and friends, and in the end it was quickly disposed of by the county government yamen, and after Lu Renjie heard about it, he found an opportunity to rest and sneaked over there to take a few brief looks.

His purpose was to continue to explore the rules of the use of the Ancient Furnace of Crematorium, but the world of Purgatory did not emerge as he hoped.

He therefore speculated that it was likely that only the corpses of living beings who died at his hands could activate the Ancient Furnace of Crematorium.

In this way, Lu Renjie was even more determined to stay in the Demon Hunting Yamen for a long time in the future, and even develop well, and strive to enter the Xuanjing General Office as a demon slayer.

After all, it is justified to kill demons and evil people as a demon arrester or a demon slayer, and there is not much to worry about.

If he has too much blood under the knife and has formed a grudge, the first thing that the other party will hold a grudge against must be the three words of the Demon Slaying Division, even if someone deliberately names and finds him Lu Renjie's head, if it is difficult for him to maneuver, he can also rely on the strong power of the Demon Slaying Division behind him to settle it.

——

In the blink of an eye, the time was two days later.

The morning light is faint and misty.

On a deserted dirt path on the outskirts of Moyang County, eight gray-clothed men wearing straw hats, carrying bamboo baskets, and holding digging hoes and sickles are walking briskly, which is a typical medicine digger's costume near Moyang County.

Because it was not clear whether the Blood Lotus Sect had other ears and eyes spies lurking in the city, Lu Renjie and his party decided to disguise themselves in order to reduce the mistakes.

They dispersed, and after meeting outside the southern city, they went straight to a remote wilderness path that only the locals were familiar with, and quickly slanted towards the abandoned ancient temple of Haoshen.

The journey of more than ten miles of mountain road is only less than two quarters of an hour for these martial artists with unscrupulous physical fitness.

Gradually, the sky was already bright, and a warm red sun washed by the spring rain for several days broke through the vast fog and slowly emerged from the east, and the comfortable spring sun sprinkled the earth like moisturizing milk.

"Two of you, please take a look, that is the abandoned Hao Temple, let's be condescending on this hillside, it's best to watch and wait."

The group finally quietly stopped in the thatched bushes on a hillside, a cool and moist morning breeze blew over the hills, a bush of more than half a person high, withered yellow mixed with crisp and tender green dense wild grass swaying in the wind like waves, spring dew dripping from it, Liu Zhigang walked in front, he half-squatted down, wiped the dew on his face with one hand, and whispered under the hillside with the other.

The two demon slayer guards leaned forward, their eyes following Liu Zhigang's direction and looking through the wild grass bushes.

I saw a blue-tiled ancient temple half-hidden in the dense barren grass, located deep in the valley not far from the right side of the hillside.

The valley mouth on the left side of the hillside is an open official road, and the other side of the official road is not far away, which is parallel to it and rolls eastward, and the Tianshui River, an important waterway lifeline that cannot be seen at a glance.

At this moment, the sun is rising, the spring breeze on the river is blowing a hazy fog like a light veil, countless giant ships, fishing boats and pleasure boats are crushing the sparkling waves, breaking through layers of fog barriers, slowly driving to both ends, and there are bursts of boatmen's horns floating one after another along the river.

"Indeed, the view here is quite good, and there is a dense thatch to hide, so let's wait here for the rabbits." Zhang Deshuai squinted slightly, nodded lightly.

Without saying a word, the rest of the men threw away their hoes and sickles as planned, took out their sabers from their baskets, and hid on the spot.

Everyone stayed until the spring mist between heaven and earth dissipated, the dew on the thatch on their sides dried up, and the ground was flooded with hot flashes, and no one went to the abandoned ancient temple in the valley.

During this time, there were many carriages and horses on the official road, but only a young woman who was in a hurry got out of the parked carriage and got into the barren grass under the hillside to relieve herself.

After everyone watched the spring leave, time continued to pass boringly.

In the blink of an eye, noon was over, and there was not much time left for the carriages and horses on the official road, when an ox cart suddenly appeared from a distant curve, drove slowly, and finally stopped at the mouth of the valley.

Whipped up and drove the car by a thin old man with a rickety figure and a pale beard.

Poisonous Lotus Dao people!

Because he had witnessed a large number of them in the fate dream of the fox demon, Lu Renjie recognized the identity of the other party the moment he saw this person's face.

But obviously, this guy has also undergone some disguise today, and even his body has been strangely shrunk a lot, only the facial contours have not been disguised, otherwise Lu Renjie would not be sure to recognize it.

Just when his heart was filled with joy, he soon pushed the door through the tall carriage behind the ox cart and appeared another old man dressed in a blue robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, and a straight posture.

Compared with the two, the latter is more like a big man.

"The fox demon's confession is really true! This blue cloth should be the Poison Lotus Dao person......"

At this time, Zhu Sihou, who was lying down, said happily in a very low voice.

Lu Renjie was overjoyed for a moment, and his heart suddenly tightened, and the secret way was not good.

According to the fate of the fox demon snooped that night, the first few times this old thing appeared alone in the ancient temple to connect with the fox demon, and there was no third person to take the lead, and it was not the inconspicuous short and poor old man he was looking at now.

Looking at his figure at the moment, it is obvious that he is shrunken and disguised......

"Watch me command! Wait until this man enters the valley and reaches the bottom of the hill and is closest to us! ”

Zhang Deshuai, who was crouching in front of him, also trembled slightly with excitement when he saw this, he said softly, and at the same time quietly raised his left hand, ready to order everyone to rush down the hill at any time.

On the side of the official road, the blue-clothed Taoist who got down from the ox cart first turned his head and looked around vigilantly, and then without saying a word, he walked straight into the grass and wilderness with the hilt of the sword at his waist, and walked quickly towards the broken temple in the depths of the mountain col, getting closer and closer to this hillside.

The real Poison Lotus Daoist sat on the ox cart with a simple and honest face.

In the thatched meadow, several big men who had been in ambush for most of the day were nervous for a while, holding long knives and copper ropes tightly in their hands, all of them hunched like cats, their hair was upside down, and they waited intently for the other party to approach the bottom of the hillside, so as to wait for the opportunity to pounce.

Crash!

Choke!

Just as Lu Renjie was thinking quickly about how to guide everyone not to ignore the old coachman, something happened in the field.

There was a sudden violent shaking from the dense thatched bushes of the col opposite, and three figures dressed in light vermilion clothes and bowler hats burst out like wild eagles, and flew straight towards the blue-clothed Taoist who had entered the valley.

The sound of three long knives flying out of their sheaths in mid-air was sharp and piercing, like three eagles, echoing crisply in the valley.

"Dog thieves in the Criminal Department? Look for death! ”

The blue-clothed Taoist who was walking briskly was so shocked that his body stiffened suddenly, and when he turned his head and saw the three Zhuyi officials flying towards him, he knew that it was too late to retreat, so he immediately burst into a shout, and drew his sword to meet the enemy without the slightest fear.

In a moment, the grass under the hillside had been chaotic, and the spring sun reflected the rapidly shaking sword light and sword shadows, countless grass stems flew wildly in the air, and the deep sound of the fluctuation and collision of qi engines shook the valley like the sound of cowhide drums.

"Fuck it! Lao Tzu is too cautious and conservative! Unexpectedly, the wild dogs of the Criminal Department who robbed feces and ate were also waiting in the valley for the Poison Lotus Dao people to come in and take off their pants! ”

Zhang Deshuai was so shocked by this change that his face was stunned, and his half-raised hand in the air before he could press down the order shook violently, he gritted his teeth, and cursed in a low voice without hesitation.

“…… There are also people on the side of the criminal department who have tracked down the clue of the Poison Lotus Dao people, when did they sneak into the valley grass, we came early in the morning, and we have never found the wind and grass, but it's a pity that ......"

Liu Zhigang had a sad face, staring at the fierce fight in the valley where the barren grass was flying, and couldn't help but gasp, and whispered regretfully.

The rest of the crowd also looked at each other in astonishment, not knowing what to do.

Fortunately......

On one side, Lu Renjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, staring at the real Poisonous Lotus Daoist on the ox cart.

"The person who took the lead is Wang Guanyun, the inspector of the Criminal Department, and Lao Tzu recognizes the sissy who wipes her face and powders!

Lao Zhang, what should I do?

We have been planning and waiting for two days, but we can't live up to the news that Lu Cha got from the fox demon's mouth, and all the merits were robbed by this turtle grandson of the criminal department! ”

Zhu Sihou Leopard's eyes were shining, and he also gritted his teeth, showing unwillingness in his eyes.

The reason why he was so impressed by this Wang Guanyun was because the two of them competed for a popular Oiran lady in the building last night at the end of last year, this person was the eldest son of Wang Yuzhi, the servant of the Criminal Department of the Dynasty.

"The three of them, the eight of us, fuck it, just wrap it up together! Grab it back! ”

Zhang Deshuai's chest rose and fell violently, and two rough breaths came out of his nostrils and said.

"That's what I mean!" Zhu Sihou resolutely responded.

After saying that, the two of them were about to take the lead and get up and rush out.

"Two adults, wait! Look at the coachman first! ”

Among the eight people waiting on the hillside, only Lu Renjie's eyes have been keeping an eye on the movements of the real Poisonous Lotus Dao people on the ox cart, seeing that the two demon slaying guards were about to rush out and rob people from the criminal department, his calm and powerful hands suddenly stretched out on the shoulders of the two, one left and one right, and pressed the two back to their original places in time, and then pointed to the mouth of the valley on the left side of the hillside, and immediately whispered a reminder.
