Chapter 34: Separate Investigations

According to the innkeeper's words, the upper echelons of the Qulao clan were actually in league with the monsters here, and even the chief of the Qulao clan, the feudal marquis of the Central Plains Dynasty, actually married a monster as his wife, which is no secret in Qugao City.

Moreover, in recent years, the Qulao people have begun to reject the Central Plains people, and the villages where the Central Plains people live in the east of Qulao City are ten villages and nine wildernesses, most of which are done by the upper echelons of the Qulao tribe behind the scenes!

"It's okay!" When Jing Tang heard that there was actually a human collusion with monsters to kill humans, he was immediately so angry that the green tendons on his neck burst out, and he clenched his fists with both hands, which were two circles bigger than ordinary people's heads.

Di Meng was also very angry, and a little puzzled: "Aren't there officials sent by the Central Plains Dynasty in Qujiao City, don't they report the situation here to the imperial court?"

The old man shook his head and smiled: "The sky is high here, the emperor is far away, as long as the people of Qujiao do not rebel and make trouble, the court will not control too much." ”

Chu Qingwei said: "Colluding with monsters to mutilate human beings and rejecting the Central Plains people here, I don't think it's far from rebellion." ”

The old man said helplessly: "On the surface, the people of Qujiao still don't dare to do anything to us in the Central Plains, otherwise it would be impossible for me, a little old man, to make a living in an inn in Qujiao City, although it is no secret that they collude with monsters, after all, they still haven't caught the real evidence." ”

Di Meng sneered: "There is a lack of evidence, and it is not easy to get evidence, so I will go and catch a few monsters from him." ”

"You want to catch monsters?" The old man was startled, and hurriedly said: "Don't you dare to be so nonsense, the court doesn't care about this matter, where can we small people take care of it?"

Chu Qing hurriedly glanced at Emperor Meng, and said with a smile: "Seniors, don't panic, we are just talking for a while, how easy it is to catch demons, how can we have this ability......"

"Don't talk about it, Qujiao City is the territory of these aliens after all, young people are easy to be impulsive, and be careful to cause trouble for themselves. The old man persuaded.

Chu Qing said with a smile: "The advice of the seniors is yes, the three of us have been tired all the way, and it is time to rest, and we will ask the seniors for advice another day." ”

The old man nodded: "Okay, let's rest, the guest room has been arranged for you." ”

The young man came and led the three of them to the backyard, pointed to the three rooms with open doors, and did not speak, which means that there are only three rooms, you can do whatever you want.

Chu Qing and the others entered a guest room, closed the door, and immediately began to discuss what to do next.

Discuss and discuss, it is not easy to catch demons and refine demons in Quluo City, even if you can deal with those monsters, the upper echelons of the Qulao clan are in league with monsters, and you can't fight against the entire Qulao tribe in order to catch a monster.

You must know that the chief of the Qulao people can be given the title of vassal by the Central Plains Dynasty, which is enough to show that the strength of the Qulao people is still not to be underestimated.

Chu Qing has the best of both worlds in his heart, according to the innkeeper, the monsters in Qugao City seem to control the trade of local precious medicinal materials, and they happen to be purchasing medicinal materials, so it is better to use this as an opportunity to make some contact with them, and then make plans after finding out the truth and reality.

Di Meng and Jing Tang had no better way, so in the end, they decided to act according to Chu Qing's plan.

So the three of them rested overnight, and the next morning, Chu Qing and Jing Tang acted separately as they used to purchase medicinal materials, and Di Meng did not go out together, as if they were making other preparations.

Chu Qing's routines are all old routines, a silver ingot, a list of cherished medicinal materials, as long as there are goods in the pharmacy and they plan to sell them, they are not afraid that they will not take them out.

When I asked about the second medicinal herb firm, I found that the medicine dealer took the list and looked at it a few times, looked at Chu Qing again, and said strangely: "It's really strange these two days, two waves of people come to buy medicine with the same list." ”

"There is also this kind of thing, does your firm have the medicinal materials on this list?" Chu Qing asked as soon as he heard this.

"You're late. The pharmacist handed the list back to Chu Qing: "Originally, the medicinal materials on this store had two flavors, but they were bought yesterday. ”

Yesterday...... Chu Qing was annoyed, if he had gone to the pharmacy and business house to ask as soon as he arrived in Qujiao City yesterday, maybe he had bought these medicinal materials by himself!

Fortunately, someone came here a day earlier than me to purchase, and now I am afraid that the precious medicinal materials in the city pharmacies have been bought.

can take the same list to procure, nine times out of ten it is also for the Shennong summit, Chu Qing wants to see who robbed his business.

So he stopped looking for pharmacies, and instead searched for cultivators from the True Yuan Realm in the city.

True Yuan Realm cultivators could easily distinguish from the crowd, Chu Qing had met a few True Yuan Realm cultivators of the Quluo Clan, but these barbarians didn't look like they knew about the Shennong Summit.

After turning two more streets, Chu Qing stopped in front of a tavern, where there were several True Yuan Realm cultivators dressed in Central Plains who were eating, drinking, and talking around the two tables.

Chu Qing walked into the tavern, and those people immediately noticed that someone from the same way was approaching, and they all stopped eating and drinking, and looked at Chu Qing with their eyes.

"Oh, this is Chu Daoyou?" one of them actually recognized Chu Qing.

Chu Qing looked at the man carefully, he had indeed seen it, that person was one of the five surviving buyers in the underground stone chamber of the Autumn Garden, but Chu Qing couldn't call his name, and Chu Qing's name was introduced to those people by Wang Shoucai.

"Chu Daoyou, come and sit!" The man was polite, got up and gave Chu Qing a seat, and said with a smile: "But it's really a coincidence, I'm talking to a few friends about you, if it weren't for Chu Daoyou, my Xiao Dongsheng's life would have been ruined in the Autumn Garden." ”

"Daoyou's name is Xiao Dongsheng?" The person in front of him is also an old man, and Chu Qing is not polite, so he stepped forward to sit with these people.

The rest of the people seemed to have really heard Xiao Dongsheng talk about Chu Qing's methods, and they were all very polite, pouring tea and pouring wine.

Chu Qing took a sip of tea and asked bluntly, "I don't know what Xiao Daoyou is doing when he comes to Qujiao City?"

Xiao Dongsheng said with a smile: "I also wanted to ask Chu Daoyou like this, since Chu Daoyou asked first, then I will say it first;

Chu Qing nodded: "Caught up?"

Xiao Dongsheng shook his head and said, "Those thieves are cunning, I chased in the wrong direction, and only chased the short man from the autumn gardener's house." ”

Chu Qing looked at the people around him, there were no dwarfs among them, and said strangely: "What about the people, have they been killed?"

Xiao Dongsheng looked a little annoyed: "That dwarf is not worth mentioning, but he is extremely insidious and cunning, and he actually led us into the mountains and forests west of the city; ”

Chu Qing blinked and said hurriedly: "So you have already entered that mountain, can you tell me about the situation in that mountain?"

At the same time, Di Meng was sitting cross-legged in her guest room, and the Demon Refining Ding was suspended between her knees.

The smell was strange, some like the stench of animal carcasses, but not so stinky, and there seemed to be some kind of plant fragrance mixed in with it.

Suddenly, Emperor Meng opened his eyes, and three purple qi shot out from the Demon Refining Ding, and the purple qi drilled directly into the ground, and he could hear something struggling and screaming underground.

"Close!"

The three purple qi were withdrawn, and a centipede with a body about the size of an adult was pulled out of the ground, and it was contained in the Demon Refining Ding in the blink of an eye.

Di Meng smiled coldly, she had noticed that there were monsters in the nearby underground last night, so she used the Demon Refining Ding to release the breath that lured the scale monster to the vicinity early in the morning.

Sure enough, the centipede spirit was captured alive.

It's just that Di Meng didn't refine it directly, but opened the lid of the Demon Refining Ding and stared coldly at the trapped monster in it.

"Immortal spare my life, I have no intention of offending!" the centipede spirit begged repeatedly.

"It's not hard for me to spare you, but if I ask you something, you need to answer truthfully, or else will you know what is trapping you?"
