Chapter 52: Urgent News

By the time the two pavilion guards brought a dry weasel stall owner, the six ugly were already in the courtyard of the pavilion, drawing a rough picture of the distribution of Liyang City with white ash, the main streets were there, and some small streets and alleys were just one piece, and then there were charcoal stones next to them, and several other pavilion guards were waiting on the left, just waiting for everyone to arrive.

The main singer of the stalls was a fat promise, and the six ugly gestured: "I heard that there is a shortage of weasels in the stalls recently, and even if they are caught and sent, they are also thin, but there is such a thing?"

Although I don't know why the fat and thin weasel on the stall will be related to the case, he also knows that it has nothing to do with him, and he can hear the number of weasels and urine on his stall, and he does not dare to deceive, and honestly tells the situation in his stall.

Sure enough, there are dozens of weasel stalls in the city, and there are only six that are still fat, four of which are collected from the countryside outside the city, and the other two are sent by the city's rat catchers every day.

Rat hunting is the livelihood of beggars and destitute people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of them are three or five people forming gangs, using cages, clips, hoops, fishing, altars and other traps to hunt, and they also have their own rat hunting sites.

As for the others, although there are also three or five groups, seven or eight groups of people, they all have little harvest and are as thin as possible.

The six ugly thought for a while and asked the stall owners, "Are there still weasels in your shop?"

All the stall owners said that there were still a few, or tens or twenty or thirty, and the six ugly took out some knife coins and handed them to another pavilion pawn in the pavilion, and said: "You will go back with each family, collect all the weasels, and take some of the rat skins, and then prepare a cauldron and dry firewood, and come back with me." ”

All the stall owners said that they didn't dare to collect money, and the pavilion guards were greedy for ink, but they didn't dare to say much in front of the six ugliness, but they just quietly encouraged everyone to go quickly, and the six uglies didn't bother to care about them, so they let him do it.

After everyone went, the six chou called the two men to the front, and instructed Qi Qi and Ren Fu to follow one person each, and find and bring back their respective rat deliverers, not all of them, but the leader was necessary, and then called two more pavilion guards to accompany him.

Whether it is the stall owner or the pavilion guard, they are all inexplicably ignorant, but no one dares to ask, so they can only do it honestly.

After noon, the pavilion pawn brought back seven people in ragged clothes and full of vegetables, as soon as they saw the six ugly faces, they knelt down and kowtowed, the color of fear was overflowing, and the six ugly let everyone get up, each rewarded a knife coin, and said:

"Recently, the capture of weasels in various parts of the city has decreased, but there has been no change, this section is related to the case investigated in my pavilion, and this is the case with the call, don't be afraid, just honestly say what you hunt, everyone has a reward, but if you dare to deceive, someone will come to find you tomorrow!"

All the beggars kowtowed one after another, saying, "Don't dare to deceive adults!"

"Well, then, let's start with you......"

The six ugly randomly named one person and asked him to tell him about the place where the rats were caught, and ordered the pavilion to mark them with stones, so that after half an hour, the locations had been all marked, and most of the stones were located near the abandoned distillery in the south of the city. Sure enough, these beggars did not dare to deceive, but all the places they had been to were marked, and although there were few prey, they did not dare to leak.

After the beggars dispersed, the six uglies exchanged for wooden blocks, marked the places where the disappearances took place one by one, and finally found out the key points between each crime site and the old distillery......

Night.

The wind is cold,

Oak sun twilight cream.

Poor alleys are in a hurry,

Come and go two long ways.

The phantom is as anxious as rain,

The red pupils move with light,

Suddenly the lights flickered,

Smell the weasel from afar.

The old liquor shop is an ominous place in the hearts of Liyang people, the reason started seven years ago, the outbreak of the epidemic in Liyang, originally originated here, so the county lieutenant ordered to see that the surrounding nine squares and twelve shops were blocked, the sick were sent in, dying, a total of more than 600 people died in the meantime, although they got the help of the Qi refiner to extinguish the epidemic, the original residents of this place were desperate for life and death, and the descendants felt that the bad luck night was unwilling to move, and over time, it became a Jedi.

Every time there is a case in the city, the first thing that the county lieutenant and others think of is this, and the murderer and thief have indeed been caught from it over the years, and this disappearance case has also been searched, but nothing has been found, so they can only give up.

Seven years have passed, but the fence around the nine squares and twelve shops is still there, although it is broken, but few people steal it, and gradually become a natural partition wall, the two phases are cut off, and gradually forgotten.

Not far from the fence, there is a city god temple, which has fallen into disrepair for a long time and has collapsed halfway, and it is a place for beggars to live on weekdays, and today I don't know how lucky these beggars are, and they actually cook meat.

A few stones are used as stoves, on the large cauldron shelf, the plaque window frame is firewood, the soup is boiling, several fat rats rise and fall in it, and the peeled rat skin rat head is still burning in the fire at will, exuding an unpleasant fishy smell, but the beggars don't care, just stare at the kettle, or use firewood to pluck the soup, or sprinkle in coarse salt dogwood, the meat is fragrant, and the smell is coveted.

Zhou people's flavor, there are only five categories, salt, plum, sugar, wine, vinegar, the cooked food is relatively light, vegetables and fruits are still better, the smell of meat is a little heavy, only a few places use dogwood, pepper and other things, this taste is emitted in the wind, so that the meat of the weasel is a little more tempting.

In the dark night, a pair of pupils full of YU hope appeared, vertical, hideous, red, and a thin saliva began to drip down the corner of the lips, gradually condensing into a depression under the body, and the desire began to sprout, but the owner of the red pupil still dragged himself and twisted, walking slowly towards another place, turning back from time to time......

Not far outside the city of Liyang, the mountain is steep, the black bat cloud boat has fallen, a simple military tent is set up on the ground, and people are waiting for people to be in the boat, or outside the tent, sitting and walking, each acting separately.

Not far from the camphor treetops, in the leaf crown bush, the sky is crying and sitting on a very thin branch, the back is against the oblique tree, the broadsword is placed on the shoulder at will, the whole person rises and falls with the night wind, swaying, it is like a leaf without half a tael weight, the short branch in his mouth is also synchronized, swaying up and down, and the interest is extremely uninteresting.

Tian Wai was originally an active person, staying in one place for three or four days, and he had already exhausted his initial patience, even if it was the trial of the two demons in the city, he didn't have much to care about him.

But even so, Tian Cry didn't dare to leave, because Sister A attached great importance to supplementing the Suihu, and she had words before she came, if she was frivolous and nonsense, she would punish him, and Tian Cry could ignore the ghost banquet and others, and even ignore Gu Chen, but she didn't dare to ignore Sister A's instructions.

A sister is already difficult to deal with, plus a brother Xie Shen, how will you live in the future......

Tian Wai thought sadly, the two thick eyebrows drooped down, and he had long lost the joy when he heard that Xie Shen and Sister A were preparing to get married, and his heart was full of regret, and he muttered in his mouth and didn't know what he was saying.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing and trembling in the cloud boat, and Tian Wai showed joy on his face, and he was about to get up, but he sat down again, and said to himself: "Stinky sister! If you have a brother-in-law, you will ignore me, and I will not pay attention to her until four days!"

Having said that, the corners of his eyes kept looking at Yunzhou, and his heart was like a cat's claw, extremely impetuous.

After only a few breaths, Tian Wai couldn't bear it anymore, so he said to himself again: "I just ignore it, Xiao Jiu and they don't dare to ignore it, they will definitely receive the summons...... That's it, let's go to the side and listen to it first, if it's interesting, say a few words, if it's boring, just let Xiao Jiu pass the buck for me......"

He was thinking wildly in his heart, and before he could make up his mind, someone in the cloud boat had already rushed out, it was Xiao Jiu, she didn't wait to run under the tree and shouted: "Lord Heavenly Ghost, the ghost head has an order, order me to go to Qinchuan as soon as possible and look for a Hu monk flying boat!"

Tianshan retreats to the four departments, each department has a leader, the leader of the ghost banquet department is naturally the ghost head, and the current ghost head is Guchen, who takes over the disappeared Xie Shen.

"What, isn't it Sister A, it's Brother Guchen?" "Tian cried and was overjoyed, and suddenly fell straight down from the tree, flipped in the air about two feet from the ground, landed steadily, and said urgently: "What's wrong with this Hu monk, why does Brother Guchen want to look for him, and, how to find it, kill them all?"

Xiao Jiu came to the front and said: "My lord didn't elaborate, only said that this Hu monk Yunzhou was being chased, it seems to be Hu Seng infighting, my lord ordered us to capture the chased Hu Seng and escort him back to the pavilion, as for those chasing soldiers, they were all killed, and no one could get away." ”

"It's just to kill some Hu monks, do we still have a face to get rid of a person?" Lord Guchen is chattering!" Tian cried and pouted disdainfully, remembering that he could go out to run errands, his heart became happy again, and he smiled and walked towards the flying boat, not shouting in his mouth: "Get up, get up! Someone can be killed, hurry up, don't be preempted by others!" The broadsword Tianwai on his shoulder also dragged on the ground, rubbing the ground and rocks, making a squeaky sound, and sparks splashed.

Xiao Jiu's footsteps were a little heavier when he came out, and everyone had already woken up, but they didn't move, and now they saw the sky crying and greeting, and they all took place in an instant, and when they entered the boat, strands of black smoke began to erupt from the tail pipe of the boat, trembling and roaring like a giant beast waking up, ready to go.

"My lord, what about the two demons in the city, do you need to keep people?" Xiao Jiu hurriedly walked to follow Tian Wai, and hurriedly said: "And Xiao Si is still in the city, do you think it is a summons to make him return?"

Tianwai's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he said, "Oh, I almost forgot about Xiaosi...... But then again, what did he do in the city?"

Xiao Jiu stumbled, rolled his eyes, and said faintly: "My lord, this is what you told you, saying that this is interesting, let's take turns to stare at it and see how he plays with a flower." ”

Tianwai's eyes widened blankly, and he suddenly patted his head, as if suddenly: "Yes, I remembered, it seems that I really ordered it." ”

"This is as if it is! It is clearly your order," Xiao Jiu cried unceremoniously, and said: "If it weren't for that, Xiao Si would be considered a reckless move, and according to the rules of Weizhong, he had to cut off his head." ”

"It's me who is me, what kind of head are you cutting off for these little things!" Tian Wai waved his hand indifferently and said: "Since this is the case, then don't call him, continue to stay in the city, you will send a message later, let him take care of himself, and come back to pick him up when we come back from Qinchuan." ”

"Wow. ”

In a moment, the cloud boat had already roared up to the clouds, stepping into the night, but seeing that in the darkness of the night, a figure sat on the top of the pavilion in the city, bored and drawing circles, and said with a grumbling mouth:

"Don't take me to play......"
