After handing over the medicinal materials to Zhang Erhei, Shi Cheng and Wu Tianshi walked out of Zhang Erhei's house. Before the two left, Shi Cheng suddenly formed a curse mark and hit Zhang Erhei's house. Shi Cheng's technique of sealing was very ingenious, there was only a thin layer of light on the spell seal, and only Wu Tianshi, who was close, saw the spell mark issued by Shi Cheng, and he couldn't see anything if he was a little farther away.

"What is this for?" Wu Tianshi asked.

"Protect our witnesses." Shi Cheng replied, "This spell mark is hidden and can last for about three days. I just quietly left a talisman in the courtyard of Zhang Erhei's house, so that I can monitor the situation in the courtyard. Zhang Erhei's wife must have seen something before she fell unconscious, and I was afraid that some people would be unfavorable to her when they learned that she woke up, and if those people dared to come and kill her, I would be able to know the situation in the courtyard through this spell mark and launch a spell mark to bombard. Redwood City isn't that big for me, and I'm sure I'm good enough to get here in time. ”

"Wait, you mean, people? You mean, Zhang Erhei's wife didn't run into something weird? ”

"In this world, only people are scary, demons are scary, and no ghosts are scary. Wu Daoyou has been in the Bai family for almost three days, let alone a ghost, I'm afraid I haven't seen a demon yet. Shi Cheng said with a bright smile and a mocking tone.

"Hu, what nonsense!" Wu Tianshi's face flushed, and the green tendons on his face bloomed, "If you don't see it, it doesn't mean you don't have it!" Don't you see how powerful this Heavenly Master's supernatural powers are? Then there were some strong words, such as "I was so frightened by my supernatural powers that I didn't dare to come out", what "the name of this heavenly master can stop the night cry of the demon clan's children", and the carriage was filled with happy air for a while.

Shi Cheng shook his head helplessly, "Okay, let's stop talking about this, let's see which family to go to next." ”

However, Shi Cheng didn't have to worry about this problem, those people who were quietly watching near Zhang Erhei's house were already convinced of the two of them when they saw Zhang Erhei happily and respectfully send the two out of the door. Before Shi Cheng and Wu Tianshi's carriage had gone far, the onlookers rushed to surround the carriage.

Although Redwood City is not big, the number of people in the west of the city who want to ask for a consultation is enough for Shi and Wu to drink a pot. The two of them were busy until it was nearly dawn, and then they drove the carriage slowly towards Baifu.

"It's so late." Shi Cheng looked at the silent and uninhabited street and said softly.

"Don't really say it, although I'm tired today, I feel quite fulfilled in my heart." Wu Tianshi stretched as he spoke.

"I originally thought that Wu Daoyou would shirk the free clinic in every possible way, but I didn't expect to underestimate you, Daoyou." Shi Cheng said with a smile.

"Am I that kind of person?" After speaking, Wu Tianshi snorted proudly twice, and pulled Shi Cheng's skin for a while. Then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said with some emotion: "There are not many Chinese medicine halls in this Redwood City, and there are only one Renxin Pavilion that has done the eight classics." However, there are not many people in the city who are waiting for the doctor to save their lives. ”

"If people don't have money to see a doctor, no amount of medical care is useless." Shi Cheng said lightly.

"That's what Daoyou said." Wu Tianshi sighed, and then he suddenly remembered something, and asked Shi Cheng: "By the way, fellow Daoist, speaking of which, I suddenly have a question I want to ask you, and please don't feel offended." ”

"What's the problem? You ask. ”

"I heard that the herbal medicine industry of your alliance khanate is now only second only to the Great Wei, but the medicine produced is not used on the right path. Is it true that your people, both men and women, were forced to take drugs to modify their bodies and minds from an adulterage and enter the military when they grew up, and only a few powerful people were exempted? ”

“？？？”

Shi Cheng was confused, he looked at Wu Tianshi with an idiotic gaze, and asked, "Are there still such rumors in your Cold Moon Country in the Eastern Continent?" ”

"Uh...... I see that many of Wu's newspapers have said this, and they also have an interview with a victim who has now fled to Wei......" Wu Tianshi said dryly.

Shi Cheng was speechless for a while, "Wu Daoyou, do you know how many people the Union Khanate has?" ”

Wu Tianshi thought for a moment, "It seems to be 500 million...... How much? ”

"541,670,000 people."

"Uh, yes...... It seems to be this number. ”

"Let's count it as 500 million people," Shi Cheng said, folding his fingers, "Of the 500 million population, the most suitable people between the ages of sixteen and thirty for military service account for nearly thirty percent of the total number of these people. Let's calculate it according to three percent, and you can calculate how many people this is? ”

Wu Tianshi blurted out: "150 million people? ”

"That's right, but the total number of active guards and tribal troops in the Alliance Khanate Guardian Army is only more than 1.5 million, even if you add the national government service and arrest people, it is far less than 100 million, I don't know why Wu Daoyou believes this rumor?"

Before Wu Tianshi could speak, Shi Cheng said again: "Wu Daoyou, do you know how much it costs to raise a person per month for the army of a big country in the world?" ”

"Uh......"

"According to the investment of the Alliance Khanate to ordinary soldiers, on average, one person is about seven people's votes, and at present, the votes of our Cheta people's votes against the Tongbao of Wei are about five to one, that is, one Tongbao 0400 Wen, multiplied by 100 million five, that is 210 million Tongbao."

Speaking of this, Shi Cheng looked at Wu Tianshi, smiled slightly, and said: "The official income of the Alliance Khanate last year was about 170 million Tongbao, if what Wu Daoyou said is true, it means that our government has to borrow everywhere in a vicious circle of making ends meet for many years, and do nothing else, and only care about raising such a huge army without waging war with the outside world, do you think such a country can survive until now?" ”

"What Shi Daoyou said is reasonable." Wu Tianshi nodded awkwardly, "I also thought that there was something wrong with these reports before, but the main writers of these Di newspapers wrote what they said, and people couldn't help but believe it. But today, I heard a Taoist friend talk about it in detail, and I saw the doorway clearly.

The two were silent for a moment, and in order to eliminate the awkward atmosphere as soon as possible, Wu Tianshi changed the topic in time and suddenly asked: "I think Dao Youyou seems to be very concerned about the strange things that happened in the Bai family, you don't seem to have spoken much since you came out of Zhang Erhei's house, and you seem to have been thinking about something." ”

"Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, Shi has a sworn enemy, my parents and master were killed by them, so I have been tracking down these people, I suspect that there is their shadow behind the affairs of the Bai family, so I must find out what happened in the Bai Mansion."

Wu Tianshi was taken aback: "Daoyou, you are so capable, I don't know who your opponents are, and it is not a simple role." ”

"They," Shi Cheng smiled coldly, "they're not human. ”

While they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the White Mansion. Wu Tianshi was curious, and wanted to continue to ask Shi Cheng what his opponent was, but Shi Cheng had already jumped out of the carriage, and he had to get out of the carriage with him.

The lights in front of the Baifu are still bright, obviously someone has just changed the lamp oil, and lighting the lamp in front of the door at night is also a common habit of the big families in the Western Desert Country, in order to ensure that the oil lamp can be lit until dawn, the servants on night duty often change the lamp oil at night.

The two knocked on the door, and a sleepy-eyed housekeeper opened the door, and when he saw Shi and Wu, he immediately shook his head. After respectfully greeting the two, the gatekeeper immediately went to call his companion and drove Shi Cheng's carriage to the place where the carriage was parked. After Shi Cheng and Wu Tianshi said goodbye, they went back to their respective rooms to rest.

Nothing happened all night....................

The next day, after Shi Cheng got up, he chatted with the family at the gate of his small courtyard for a while, and then drove out. Unlike yesterday, Bai Gui waited at the door early today, and after the two exchanged a few words, Shi Cheng drove off.

Since he didn't buy enough medicinal materials, Shi Cheng didn't dare to be extravagant when he applied medicinal materials. However, fortunately, he often likes to use alchemy to pass the time when he is idle on weekdays, so he has enough pills on his body that can be taken by mortals, and he does not have to worry about falling into the dilemma of having no medicine to use when treating people. It's just that if the old guys of the East and West Continent Pill Guild learn that there is such a young man who likes to sprinkle pills to treat diseases during the free clinic, their jaws may be shocked.

This morning's time was still used by Shi Cheng for the free clinic in the west of the city, and he also went to Zhang Erhei's house to have a look. Shi Cheng's medicine was superb, and after only one night, after taking two pieces of medicine, Zhang Wang's condition improved significantly. It's just that her mood is still a little unstable, so Shi Cheng doesn't plan to ask her questions now. Fortunately, Zhang Erhei has been guarding his wife with all his heart, clumsily trying his best to make her happy. Shi Cheng optimistically predicted that in another day or two, he should be able to get a rough answer from Zhang Wang's mouth.

After strolling around the west of the city all morning, Shi Cheng saw that there were no more people who went to the car to seek medical treatment, so he drove to Baifu. At this time, Wu Tianshi had already waited at the gate of Baifu as promised, and after the two met, they went to the residential area in the east of the city together.

Today, the two of them are still busy into the evening, but the experience of this day has been lackluster so far. Shi Cheng often chatted with the patient's family during treatment, but did not get any valuable information. Shi Cheng sometimes deliberately leads the topic to the corpse robbery case, but the person on the other side is either talking nonsense or not knowing.

"Today's work is finally over." Wu Tianshi stretched his waist, half lying in the car and looking at the moon, full of comfort, "I really don't know if I don't do this thing for free clinics, but I don't know the hard work when I do it." ”

"The free clinic in the east of the city is actually not as hard as the west of the city, maybe there are more people living in the west of the city." Shi Cheng said.

The two of them chatted and drove their horses, and after a while, the gate of the White Mansion appeared in front of them. Unlike yesterday, the two guards were standing outside the gate at this time, looking around in horror, as if they were waiting for someone.

When the gatekeeper saw Shi Cheng's carriage, the two immediately ran over anxiously. Shi Cheng felt that something was wrong, so he grabbed the horse, jumped out of the car with Wu Tianshi, and greeted the two family members.

"What's wrong, why are you so flustered?" Shi Cheng asked the two, and he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

"Mr. Shi, Master Heaven, you are back. Funai...... Something happened in the house! A family member shouted, his face unconcealed with fear.

"Something's wrong." Wu Tianshi also felt the seriousness of the matter.

"Trouble... Haunted! The house has just been haunted! White Sea He ...... Killed by a ghost! Many people have seen it with their own eyes, it is a ghost without a long face! Another family member said with a sad face.

Shi Cheng and Wu Tianshi glanced at each other, their eyes full of shock. After gesturing the two family members to keep their composure, Shi Cheng said solemnly: "Something happened somewhere in the mansion, take us there!" ”
