Chapter 20 Changping County

In the Soul Coin Mall, there are a lot of equipment worth 20,000 yuan.

For example, the medium-grade peachwood sword, the ghost lock, the low-grade evil sword, the demon catching copper coin, and the soul detention bell...... Wait a minute.

It was because of too much equipment that Li Zhai was worried.

Of course, this is because he only has more than 20,000 soul coins, and if there are hundreds of thousands or millions of soul coins, it will be enough to have one of them.

Speaking of which, I am still too poor, and I feel good about any kind of treasure, and I don't have soul coins to buy it.

In the end, Li Zhai decided to save it first, and then buy it when he encountered an emergency and needed what kind of equipment to save his life.

Anyway, the equipment in the Soul Coin Mall is ready-made, and it can be purchased at any time, and there is no limit to the quantity.

While thinking, Li Zhai walked to the slope where the ashes clay pots were stacked, hoping to find some clues to the opponent.

It's a pity that nothing is left here except a few broken urns.

It seems that the skeleton corpse should be the mastermind behind the calculation of himself, but with his level, I am afraid he is not the real boss behind the scenes.

Could it be that this guy has something to do with the owner of the black mist who took away the little water ghost last night?

Is the other party testing his own reality and reality? Is this necessary?

Li Zhai couldn't figure out the problem, so he had to respond to all changes with no change, but next time he looked for a demon spirit to brush the level, he needed to be more careful.

The hour is not early.

Since there were no more wandering spirits and wild ghosts here, Li Zhai headed towards Yulou Town.

Back at the inn, he crept into his room and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, a call sounded outside the door: "Immortal Li Chang, are you up?"

Opening the door, Li Zhai saw Shen Shi, who looked much better, and followed by Shen Rou, a little girl with big eyes and blinking.

Knowing their intentions, Li Zhai smiled and said Sister-in-law of the Shen family, it's early.

Shen said: "Immortal Elder Li, I have already asked the guy to prepare a meal, and after eating in a while, we will set off, and the matter will be left to Immortal Chief." ”

"No problem," Li Zhai waved his hand.

Breakfast was in Shen's guest room, and there were their carry-on baggage on the chair next to it, and it seemed that the mother and daughter had already prepared it.

Li Zhai was also not polite, and had breakfast with them, and then left the inn to look for carriages and horses.

Yulou Town is not small, and it is only half a day's trip from Changping County, so there is naturally no shortage of vehicles coming and going.

Rich and easy to do, the three of Li Zhai quickly hired a carriage.

Just a word from the car boss made Shen blush.

"Childe, you and Miss Madame are seated, let's go!"

"I said uncle, what kind of vision do you have, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand," Li Zhai lifted the curtain and explained helplessly.

"Yes, it's a villain, don't blame you and your mother and sister!"

Li Zhai was speechless again, and he didn't even bother to explain.

What's wrong, am I wrong again?

Seeing that the prince put down the curtain depressedly, the car boss thought suspiciously, but he didn't dare to ask.

In this way, except for the little girl Shen Rou occasionally lifting the window to look at the scenery, the anger in the car was a little embarrassing along the way.

At noon, the outline of a castle appeared in front of the carriage.

Approaching Changping County, Shen's face, which had always been unnatural, finally regained her composure, but the fingers she hid in her sleeves had clenched for some time.

Sigh~

At the gate of the city, the carriage was stopped by the coachman.

An official with a saber hanging from his waist came over for a routine check.

The curtain of the car was opened, and he stared at Shen and Li Zhai, and finally fell on Shen's baggage: "Open it and see if there is any contraband!"

"This~," there were gold, silver and jewelry in the baggage, and Shen Shi heard that the other party said that he wanted to check it, and his face immediately changed slightly.

Li Zhai hurriedly waved her hand to calm her down, and then leaned up and stuffed a piece of broken silver into the other party's hand, and laughed in a low voice:

"It's all a change of clothes from my daughter's house, underwear and belly pockets, it's inconvenient to show people, can you see my face for convenience. ”

"Release!"

The official weighed the silver taels in his hand and waved his hand with satisfaction.

The carriage passed through the city gate smoothly, and the owner of the car asked while rushing the car: "Childe, which mansion are we going to?"

"Find an inn first. ”

The first time he came to Changping County, Li Zhai didn't know where the county government was?

If he rashly took Shen's mother and daughter directly to the county government to find Kong Yilong, I am afraid it would be a little troublesome, so he said that he would let the car boss find an inn to stay in first.

"Yes, Childe. ”

Although the car boss was puzzled, he still agreed.

The carriage continued to move forward on the quaint streets, and Li Zhai also asked the Shen family if there was an inn that was closer to the county government and did not attract much attention.

Shen said that there is, the Yunlai Inn is only a few hundred meters away from the county government of Changping County, and there is a separate courtyard behind the Yunlai Inn that can be wrapped up without being disturbed.

Then go to the Yunlai Inn, Li Zhai nodded, and ordered the car boss to go straight to the Yunlai Inn.

Rich and easy to do, when the carriage went to the Yunlai Inn, Li Zhai took out a big ingot of silver and said that he wanted to rent a quiet courtyard at the back, the innkeeper and the guy were very enthusiastic.

However, when they saw Shen's mother and daughter, their faces changed slightly.

But in view of the bold gesture of the prince in front of him, the innkeeper and the guy didn't say much.

"Sister-in-law of the Shen family, you live here for the time being, and I will go to find Brother Kong. ”

After settling the Shen mother and daughter, Li Zhai said goodbye to them, and told the guys not to let anyone come over to disturb them except for three meals a day, so he left the Yunlai Inn and went straight to the county office.

The black-lacquered gate is closed, two stone lions are lined up on either side, and on the steps to the right of the gate stands a drum with a drumstick that is a foot long.

This is the decoration outside the gate of the county government in Changping County.

Li Zhai walked up the bluestone steps, and was about to knock on the door knocker, when there was a squeak, and the gate of the county government was opened, and four or five officials walked out of it.

The person at the head is none other than Kong Yilong.

"Brother Li Dao, it's really you, that's great. ”

Kong Yilong is worried about the strange murder that happened in the Liu family in Dongcheng last night.

After all, this case is not simple, there are already rumors in the city, and the county magistrate has just issued an order that they must find clues within three days.

Kong Yilong also went to inspect the scene in the morning, and when he was at a loss, he couldn't help but light up when he saw Li Zhai coming to the door.

"Brother Kong is polite," Li Zhai didn't expect to meet the person he was looking for so coincidentally, he smiled and greeted Kong Yilong.

"Brother Li Dao, you came just in time, I have something to ask you to help with, please come with me. ”

Before Li Zhai could bring up the matter of Shen's request, Kong Yilong spoke first.

This~, Li Zhai was speechless, he had to ask Kong Yilong what was the matter?

Kong Yilong said let's go to the teahouse first, drink and chat, we can't wait for Brother Li.

At the same time, he also introduced the four yacha behind him to Li Zhai.

The slightly chubby young man is called Du Weipeng, the thin man who laughs and shows his teeth is Hou San, and the remaining two men with public faces are Ma Yu and Song Dalong.

There were outsiders there, so Li Zhai did not mention Shen's mother and daughter, and followed them into the teahouse on the side of the road with a smile.

After the young man served the tea and drank a few sips from each other, Kong Yilong, who was sitting at the window on the second floor, sighed and said:

"Brother Li, do you know, after I came to Changping County to take office, I heard that there were two or three strange murders here, and the deceased included a husband, a prostitute, and a young master of a small family.

Last night, Liu Yunian, the lord of the Liu family, also died, and his appearance was similar to that of the three people, all of whom died by breaking their necks.

The people in the city falsely rumored that they were all evil, this is a demon asking for their lives, which made people panic, and the county head Zou gave a death order, so that I must find clues to calm people's hearts within three days......."
