The county magistrate was obviously stunned for a moment.

First, he didn't expect that this secretary would "go into the water" to help, in his impression, the secretary is to follow up on the case, and then make a report to the criminal department, and wait for the criminal department to deal with it.

The second is that I didn't expect this secretary to be able to track the art.

When he came back to his senses, the county magistrate was happy, and he gave his hand again and again, "Then there is Master Lao." ”

Thinking of the current predicament at home, Bai Yu decided to make some extra money, and his face was embarrassed, "The tracking technique of this official requires the consumption of some materials, but the investigation of the case and the capture of snakes is not within the scope of the responsibilities of the secretary, and it is impossible for the criminal department to reimburse the official for the materials, which is ......"

The county ordered, "What kind of materials are needed, please ask the secretary to make a list, and the official will ask people to look for them in the warehouse, and if they don't have them, they will send someone to buy them." ”

Bai Yu waved his hand slightly, "I still have some materials here, but it cost about ten taels of silver to buy these materials, and the official's monthly salary is only more than thirty taels, so I can't handle the case with my own money, please reimburse me." ”

The county magistrate understood that this was asking for a fee, so he groaned for a while, and called the clerk who managed the treasury in, "Go and fetch fifteen taels of silver and buy materials for the secretary." ”

The scribe hurried away, and after a while, he held three ingots of snowflake silver and placed them on the table next to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu beckoned to stop him, and said solemnly, "This is the silver that this official used to use the tracking technique to purchase the materials needed, and you must write it clearly when you keep the account." ”

The scribe hurriedly smiled, "The little one understands, understands." ”

"Hmm." Bai Yu put away the three ingots of snowflake silver, he took this silver with peace of mind, investigating the case and catching snakes, it was not within the scope of the secretary's duties, this was the extra money he earned outside of work, it was very reasonable.

The county commander glanced out the window, and then turned to Bai Yu and said, "It's still early, Lord Secretary, see if you can go into the mountain now, get rid of the evil snake as soon as possible, and the people of Yongshou County should be at ease as soon as possible." ”

Bai Yu got up, "It's okay." ”

The county commander personally led the team into the mountain.

The catchers carried strong bows on their backs, as well as barbed wire and other tools.

Bai Yu followed closely by the county commander, and let the catchers surround him, his life was at stake.

"This is where the serpent has been seen lately."

The county magistrate took him to a small stream, "Half a month ago, a villager who was herding cattle disappeared here, and the people and cattle disappeared together. ”

Bai Yu looked at it, and there were still some dried blood stains left on the stones and sand.

He squatted down, dipped a little blood on his fingers, sniffed, then washed it off with water, and said nonsense, "That's right, it's really half a month ago." ”

The county commander wondered, "Does the secretary have any other discoveries?" ”

"Don't worry, wait for this official to perform the tracking technique."

Bai Yu didn't want to expose the supernatural powers of the Eye of Detection, so he had to pinch the trick with both hands and recite the incantation in his mouth, as for what he was reciting, even he didn't know it, let alone others.

His mind moved slightly, his eyes were cool, and the whole world appeared in different colors, only to see a faint band of dark green light, which spread from the stream into the forest.

"Go over there."

He held out his hand.

The people followed in the direction he pointed.

After walking for more than ten miles, Bai Yu saw the end of the dark green light band, spreading into a huge ancient tree.

"The serpent is hiding in the hollow of the tree."

Bai Yu stepped back as he spoke, retreating behind everyone.

The catchers looked solemn one by one, and the last time they came to catch snakes, they left a psychological shadow.

"Fence it off, don't let it run."

The prefectural commander lowered his voice and gestured to give command.

As if sensing movement, a dark green snake head as thick as a bucket was gently poked out from the hole of the ancient tree, in a triangular shape, and a piece of bright red fleshy fins like a cockscomb grew on the top of the head.

Hiss! Hiss! ......

It spat out scarlet snake hyacinths, revealing two sharp white fangs, revealing a fierce face.

Seeing the county order surrounded by the phantom of the emu, it was obviously panicked, and the head of the snake turned in panic, looking around, looking for a route to escape.

"Evil beast!"

The county magistrate snorted coldly.

Bai Yu only felt "Huh! With a bang, a flower appeared in front of him, and the figure of the county order was as fast as a ghost, and he had already rushed to the front of the ancient tree.

Rumble! ......

The county order punched out, like a landslide.

Ancient trees explode, sawdust all over the sky!

A dark green snake thicker than the sea bowl was blasted out of the tree hole, rolled out dozens of meters, the snake's head was sparse, the snake's body was convulsed and curled, and those who were already dead could not die again!

Bai Yu opened his mouth and stared at the dog.

Although I knew that the civil official was very hanging, I didn't expect it to be so hanging!

What about the insult to Sven when a good civil official moves his hands and feet?

It was only then that the ancient tree fell down with a "bang", overwhelming a large area of the tree, breaking like a straw!

"The Great Snake is dead!"

"Finally caught it, the secretary is too powerful!" ......

The catchers cheered, gathered around one by one, and touched the big snake.

"......" Bai Yu really wanted to rush over and hit their big mouths, obviously the county order was powerful, so praising him like this, didn't he roast him on the fire.

Fortunately, the county magistrate didn't pay attention to this, he smiled and bowed to Bai Yu, "Thank you for your help in tracking down and eliminating harm for the people." ”

"Where, where, I'm just doing it, and it's you, the county magistrate, who really eliminates harm for the people."

Bai Yu hurriedly returned the salute, much more respectful than before.

He broke out in a cold sweat in his heart, and he really spoke a little louder to the county order before......

This can't be blamed on him, how do you know that the county order is so fierce.

"Carry it back!"

The county commander waved his hand, obviously in a good mood.

One by one, the catchers grinned and carried the big snake on their shoulders.

When they arrived on the way, the villagers they met were overjoyed and ran back to the village to tell the news.

When I arrived in the county seat, countless people gathered around to see the excitement, and there were crowds of people.

"It's a great event, we need to celebrate it, and at the same time it's a good thing to soothe people."

The county order asked the catcher to take a big red flower and put it on Bai Yu.

Bai Yu hurriedly excused himself, but he couldn't, and everyone forced him to put it on.

He also found a simple stretcher for him to sit on, and the four catchers carried it up, followed by a group of catchers carrying the big snake.

Parade through the streets!

This reminded Bai Yu of the scene where Wu Song beat the tiger, but he was not the one who beat the snake.

The county magistrate doesn't care about these, what he needs is political achievements and the voice of the people, and he can't wear saffron to parade through the streets by himself.

Swaggered through the city, wandered through several more prosperous streets, and finally, stopped at the yamen.

The county commander said with a smile, "In the evening, the official will hold a banquet to entertain the secretary, and there is no need to go to the restaurant, this snake meat is a great tonic and strengthens the body." ”

Bai Yu wanted to say goodbye, but as soon as he heard that he was eating snake meat, he decided to stay, he knew that sooner or later he would be weak, so it would be better to make up for it first.

The catchers swallowed their saliva one by one, unwilling to disperse, for those who practice martial arts, this is a good thing, and money can't buy it.

The lords, the priests, the wardens, and the officials of the various houses of the yamen also came, and they all watched with great amazement.

"Let's eat together in the evening."

The county magistrate understands their thoughts.

The catchers and officials cheered and shouted that the county commander was mighty.

Bai Yu could see that this county order didn't put up any shelves, and he got along well with his subordinates.

The cook surnamed Xu in the yamen was very excited, cooking demon snake meat may be the only chance in his life, carrying a sharp knife but unable to break the snake skin of the snake demon.

In the end, it was the county school who rolled up his sleeves and took matters into his own hands, breaking the snake skin, making a bold slash, splashing blood, disemboweling and breaking the belly, and cutting it into snake segments.

Bai Yu mourned for the scholars in the county school, with such a violent teaching, the scholars must have been beaten up in ordinary times......

The skin of the snake demon is a good thing, covered with dark green scale armor, such a large one, it is very valuable, and after selling it, it can enrich the county's financial revenue.

Snake gallbladder and fangs can be used in medicine, and they are also very precious and can be sold for a lot of money.

The county magistrate muttered, "In order to hunt and kill this evil snake, the county has posted a "snake catching notice" with a reward, and now the evil snake has been ambushed, and the secretary has the greatest credit, so let's do it, the reward for catching the snake will be awarded to the secretary." ”

Bai Yu knew that this was compensation for him, and he couldn't share the money from the sale of snake skin and snake gall, so he awarded him a reward.

He was not hypocritical, and he did not refuse, "Then thank you." ”

So the clerk in charge of the treasury brought out the silver, and he received fifty taels more.

At night, the whole Yongshou County Yamen is filled with aroma, and the chef uses a variety of cooking methods for the demon snake meat, such as barbecue, soup, stew, and braised all of them, obviously showing his life's cooking skills, and he is very attentive.

Everyone first drank a bowl of fresh snake soup as white as milk, and then couldn't wait to hold a large piece of snake meat and gnaw it, like a group of heroes in the green forest, eating meat and drinking wine.

[The character card is being advanced, the first-order tiger is 1%2%3%......]

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then rejoiced and understood.

There was no such change in eating before, but the demon snake meat eaten now may contain aura, which can give the tiger character card experience!

reacted, he immediately devoured a piece of snake meat in his left hand and a piece of snake meat in his right hand, and gnawed wildly.

When everyone saw it, they praised it in their hearts, this secretary from the Criminal Department was the same as the county magistrate, he didn't put on any shows, and he didn't care about any image, he was really a straightforward and heroic person.
