After a while, the owner of the shop sent steamed Taihu Lake fish, accompanied by two plates of side dishes and a small jar of wine. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After drinking and eating, Zhang Muxian got straight to the point and said: "I want to know what's going on with the monsters in Huzhou City, Brother Chen is in the six gates, it should be clear, right?"

Chen Rong looked stunned, he clearly remembered that Zhang Muxian was afraid of the monsters when he first heard about the monsters in Huzhou City, why did he become interested now? However, he did not explore the reason, and slowly said after brushing his thoughts: "The first time the monsters in Huzhou City were made in the spring of last year, on the third day of the third month of March, Jia Yuanwai took his son, who had just turned eight, to fly kites outside the city. The child ran farther and farther after the kite, gradually out of sight, and when he found it again, the child's head and heart were gone. At that time, we all thought that some kind of beast had done it, but we did a carpet search outside Huzhou but found nothing, so we had to stop it. ”

A month later, the seven-year-old daughter of a family in the west of the city was killed in her home, and she also lost her head and heart. Only then did we realize that things were not simple, and Lord Taishou was furious and ordered us to solve the case in ten days. Who knew that for ten days in a row, children were killed every day, and the chief catcher and deputy chief catcher were killed in advance, and the people of Huzhou City were panicked. ”

Zhang Muxian frowned and said, "Has anyone ever seen the appearance of a monster?"

Chen Rong said: "This demon came and went without a trace, and many people said that they only saw a ball of golden light wrapped in the monster and went away, and they couldn't see it clearly." ”

Zhang Muxian was puzzled: "Many young couples build iron cages, what's going on?"

Chen Rong said: "After many children were killed, everyone in Huzhou City who had children was in danger. I have visited all the families of the victims and found a suspicion that all the girls who died happened to be seven years old, and all the boys who died happened to be eight years old. I couldn't figure out why, so I speculated that youkai only target seven- and eight-year-old children. Later, when my speculation spread from the yamen, some families were skeptical and built an iron cage to put school-age children in it. ”

"One of the couples who built the iron cage heard their children crying in the cage in the middle of the night, and found that a cloud of yellow light was gnawing at the iron cage, and their children were trembling in the cage, and they hurriedly shouted for help to scare the monster away. This matter has gone far and wide, and now every household in Huzhou City is building iron cages. ”

Zhang Muxian saw that Chen Rong's words were concise and logical, and his eyes were shining, where was there still the slightest bit of naivety? ”

After Chen Rong finished speaking, he said strangely: "Is Brother Zhang going to make a move to subdue the demon?"

The first layer of Zhang Muxian's Nine Turns Yuan Gong has a miraculous effect on dealing with spirits, and he is afraid that he will not be able to deal with monsters, and he is about to refuse, when the eager eyes of many young couples in front of the blacksmith shop suddenly appeared in his mind, and he swallowed the words of refusal into his stomach. sighed and said: "I still have some skills in catching ghosts, but I have the power to subdue demons, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed." ”

Chen Rong perked up and said: "Brother Zhang has a heart, I Chen Rong thinks that I have the strength of two arms, and I am willing to obey Brother Zhang's dispatch." ”

Zhang Muxian Qi said: "Brother Chen still has this ability? Demon subjugation is not better than fighting in the world, not only with great strength." ”

Chen Rong Zhengrong said: "It's not a secret, a few **** days ago, I went out to look for a demon mage, and I encountered a wolf demon sneak attack halfway, and the wolf demon was hit by me with a stick in the waist and killed alive!"

Zhang Muxian was shocked in his heart, seeing Chen Rong's eyes blazing, his face full of determination, and said in his heart: "With Chen Rong joining, things are promising." No matter how powerful this monster is, it is a monster after all, and it can't be compared with the real fairy. Now that I'm planning to get rid of an immortal, it seems like one more youkai won't hurt. He said to Chen Rong: "So poor and Brother Chen will get rid of this monster for the people of Huzhou, can Brother Chen find the traces left by the monster, it is best to have objects such as claws, I will use this to lock the location of the monster." ”

Chen Rong was overjoyed when he saw that Zhang Muxian agreed to subdue demons with him, he had been a servant in Huzhou Mansion for many years, but he disdained the position of a servant in his heart. This time, Huzhou City made monsters, and the other officials regarded it as a disaster from the sky, but he thought it was a rare opportunity, and he kept rushing to the front line, wanting to take advantage of this incident to fly out of Huzhou City.

Chen Rong got up and came to the door of the private room, gently opened the door a crack to confirm that no one was eavesdropping outside the door, then gently closed the door, and whispered to Zhang Muxian: "It's not a secret, the little brother has determined the identity of the monster, but he is alone and has no certainty of capturing it, so he has never dared to startle the snake." ”

Zhang Muxian said happily: "In this way, we can lay down a net of heaven and earth, and we don't have to worry about the monster escaping, where is this demon hiding?"

Chen Rong stuck to Zhang Muxian's ear and whispered: "It is hidden in the Huzhou Mansion, and now Huzhou Taishou Yutong is the monster who has changed." ”

Zhang Muxian was shocked and said: "Is there any evidence for this matter? The official of the dynasty is at the level of Taishou, and the people on the hunting side have their own dynasty luck to protect them, how can they be stolen by monsters to change pillars?"

Chen Rong said with a solemn face: "This matter is what I have seen with my own eyes, and it is absolutely true. Two months ago, when it was my younger brother's turn to be on duty at night, I overheard the woman say that the lady said that the lady said that the guard didn't know what disease he had, and his skin would become very rough when he was drunk. ”

The younger brother paid attention at that time, and before he was on duty again, he specially bought a distant nephew of Taishou, prepared a gift for him, encouraged him to visit Taishou, and gave him two jars of wine. That night, while the younger brother was on duty, he sneaked into the Taishou's room to inspect and found that the Taishou's arms were covered with golden scales. The younger brother dared to conclude that he had already been harmed by this demon. ”

Zhang Muxian said solemnly: "Does anyone else know about this matter?"

Chen Rong said: "The stakes are so high, how dare I tell others? I once wanted to sneak to the capital, but I was a servant of the government and was soft-spoken, so I was afraid that no one would believe my words, so I kept delaying. ”

Zhang Muxian pondered for a moment and said: "Since this demon can change into a human, then at least he should have the cultivation of the realm of ghosts and immortals, it is difficult for you and me to take him down, do you have someone who is familiar with him in the yamen?"

Chen Rong pouted and said: "Those officials who oppress the people are all experts, and they don't have to think about it if they subdue demons." The previous chief catcher and deputy head catcher were both good at Huzhou City, but unfortunately they were found by this monster and cut off their heads. ”

Zhang Muxian pondered: "In this way, we still have to find helpers, and I will do it." I guess the goblin will not dare to harm Yu Taishou, he must have locked him up, Brother Chen managed to find some Chen Taishou's hair, it is really not possible to find intimate clothing, if you can find some monster scale armor by the way, it is the best. ”

Chen Rong patted his chest and said, "This matter is on the little brother." ”

Zhang Muxian looked at Chen Rong's honest face, but he no longer dared to treat him as an honest person, and was a little glad in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't go directly to Yutong, otherwise wouldn't I have crashed into the monster's nest?"
