"I have asked people to investigate this Murong family brother and sister, it seems that only people in the house are taken care of before, this brother and sister have only come to Lingshui County in the past few months, this man's name is Murong Yangxue, her sister is called Murong Fengxue, their family seems to have dealings with many big officials in Kyoto, and they have a lot of background. Shi Mu whispered to the two.

Cang Ze nodded slightly, and this Murong Yangxue can appear here, that is to say, the death of the lame male Gongsun Ya will not involve him.

Five thousand taels is not a small amount, there are many gentry in Lingshui County, but there are only a handful of people who can afford five thousand taels to buy an Oiran on the first night.

So as soon as the three words five thousand taels came out, Mengchunlou was quiet, and everyone looked at the handsome boy with a crown of jade, and most of them didn't know him.

And just when everyone was talking about who this boy was, another voice sounded.

"Six thousand taels!"

This voice Cang Ze heard familiarly, and Shi and Gu looked at each other and raised their eyebrows a few times, this voice was Cang Ze's adoptive father, Cang Yun's voice.

Cangyun's figure appeared on the third floor, this Lingshui County's richest guy appeared as soon as he appeared, causing an uproar below, the people around this Cangyun is a person who loves money, does not love women, appeared in this Mengchun Building today, it is estimated that he is old and enlightened, how can this money be compared with beauty?

Cang Ze looked at a richly dressed middle-aged man standing next to Cang Yun, others didn't understand Cang Yun, but Cang Ze understood, he did this, probably for business.

After glancing at the Oiran again, Cang Ze went back to the room with the ugly maid.

"Hehe, Brother Ze can't eat this 'delicacy', so he went back to his room to drink wine. Gu Yuan and Shi Mu made fun of each other.

Even if he returned to the room, Cang Ze could still hear the shouting outside, and in the end, the sedan chair was taken by Cang Yun at the price of 10,000 taels of silver.

"Good guy, 10,000 taels, it's a big business. Cang Ze thought to himself.

When the song and dance started, Shi Mu and Gu Yuan also returned to the room from the corridor.

"10,000 taels of Oiran, this cangyuan is worthy of being cangyuan, 10,000 taels is enough for me to squander for several months!"

"But who is the middle-aged man standing next to Cangyuan? How come I have never seen him? Who can stand next to Cangyuanwai, it should be a big man in this Lingshui County. ”

The two sat down while chatting, and after seeing the Oiran, it would be boring to look at the rouge vulgar fans in this Mengchun Building, so the women who hugged left and right were also driven back by the two.

Shi Mu picked up the wine jug and was about to pour the wine, when he saw that the jug was empty.

"It seems that Brother Ze misses that Oiran very much!" Shi Mu smiled, "As the so-called coming day is long, why bother with tonight?"

Cang Ze doesn't have the heart to joke with them now, if the matter of the monster in his body is not resolved, he will still be exposed sooner or later, and when the time comes, this Lingshui County will not be able to tolerate him, a man-eating monster...... He smiled bitterly, maybe he would have to be with those demon beasts in the mountains in the future.

Seeing the wry smile on the corner of Cang Ze's mouth, the fat man Gu Yuan suddenly slapped the table and stood up.

"Brother Ze, since you love that Oiran so much, I'm going to grab it for you! It's just 10,000 taels, and I'll pay you double the cheap daddy!"

Don't look at him pretending to be like that, even if he is given another guts, he won't dare to mess around in this Mengchun Building.

"If you are not afraid that your father will give you cramps, you can go. Cang Ze said softly.

The fat man laughed and sat back in his chair.

"You two play, I'll go back beforehand. Cang Ze said, and the ugly maid immediately put on a cloak for him, and the two of them left the room.

"This Brother Ze, if you can't grab the Oiran, you can't grab it, why are you scolding!" Gu Yuan said angrily.

"What did he scold?" Shi Mu wondered.

"He scolded us two kings. ”

"!"

...

On the long street, the lights are bright.

The center of Lingshui County does not have those cold stone houses and thatched huts on the periphery, a scene of flowers, but the night wind is cold, and there are many fewer people coming out to walk around.

"It's ugly. Cang Ze called softly.

Zi Chou is the name of the ugly maid behind her, and the origin of the name is that when she was born, she happened to alternate between the time of the child and the ugly time, and her uneducated father and mother named it Zi Chou.

"Childe. The ugly maid replied.

"Is there any book in this Lingshui County that specifically records things related to demon beasts?" asked Cang Ze.

Zichou thought for a while, and then replied: "There is an old bookstore at the east gate, the owner is an old man, he likes to collect books and picture albums of demon beasts, and if you ride a horse, you can get there in half an hour." ”

"Then we'll go tomorrow. ”

Passing by, a Taoist led a little boy and said for no reason, "Where is your talisman?"

Cang Ze was stunned for a moment, paused, the Taoist seemed to be saying this to himself, he turned his head to look, the Taoist stretched out his hand and rubbed the child's head, but did not look at him.

Without paying attention, he went on again.

The two walked away, and the man looked at it, and the little boy next to him said in a childish voice: "Master, that person has a demonic spirit." ”

The Taoist nodded and said, "The demonic qi has entered the heart and lungs, and it is mostly hopeless." ”

"Then let's get rid of it and go back to Qingfeng Mountain!"

"Don't worry, that person is destined for the teacher, I deliberately took a detour to come to Lingshui County, just for him, let's stay here for a few days and see the situation. The Taoist said.

The boy was well-behaved and nodded yes.

The two passed by the Mengchun Building again, and Xiao Tong said again: "There is also a demon here, Master, is the demon here also related to you?"

The old Taoist blushed, and the dust in his hand knocked on the child's head, "Nonsense!"

The little boy touched his head and looked aggrieved, listening to the soft cat-like sound coming from the building, and he didn't know what he said wrong.

...

The next day, Cang Ze and the ugly maid came to the east gate to find the old bookstore.

Zichou was very familiar with this Lingshui County, and it didn't take long to lead Cang Ze to the old bookstore.

The old signboard at the door of the store is written with three big words: 'Come to the Demon Pavilion'.

Cang Ze handed over the horse to Zichou and entered the demon pavilion by himself.

The shop is poorly lit, and the air smells of old books moldy.

At the door, an old man was sitting on a bench reading a book in the sunshine, and when he knew that someone was coming in, he casually greeted, "The guest is at his own convenience, which one he has taken a fancy to, and he left ten copper plates, just take it." ”

"You are embarrassed to ask for ten copper plates for such an old book that is so tattered that it is even mutilated?" said the guest.

This old man has children and daughters, he doesn't rely on this bookstore to support his old age, he has no scruples, and his temper is naturally big, and he was just about to say "If you don't buy it, get out", the corner of his eye glanced at the person first, not only did he swallow back the words that he was about to say, but he almost fell off the bench.

Changing into a flattering look, the old man dropped the book and said: "It turned out that the prince of Ze was coming, the villain was clumsy, he didn't recognize it just now, and I hope that the son will not blame!"
