Chapter 403

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, An Mutong's expression instantly became tense. He didn't care to discuss with Qin Shaoyou, and hurriedly looked out of the kitchen.

"Who is walking around the city? Could something have happened again?"

According to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, riding a horse in the city is not allowed unless you have important official duties.

No matter who it is, after entering the city, they have to dismount and lead them away.

After all, in this world, the streets of most cities are not wide, plus pedestrians and vendors, although they are not too crowded, but if someone gallops on a horse, it is still easy to overturn passers-by or vendors who cannot avoid it.

Therefore, if you see someone riding a horse in the city, you must be on an important official duty and you must stay far away.

An Mutong hadn't been in office for half a month, but he had experienced two thorny cases in succession, a severe drought and a ghost disaster in the county.

Especially the latter big case, which has not been properly handled yet, he doesn't want to come to the third big case.

Qin Shaoyou also looked astonished.

Although the night watchmen under his command went out to perform patrol tasks, they did not ride horses.

So who will this team of galloping horses be? What's the matter?

Qin Shaoyou, who was full of doubts, immediately looked towards the gate of Zhenyaosi's yamen.

A group of night watchmen came in on horseback.

The leaders were acquaintances - Ye Zhiqiu and Cen Biqing.

"It's them? What are they doing in Mianyuan County?"

Qin Shaoyou was slightly taken aback.

But soon, he figured out the reason why Ye Zhiqiu, Cen Biqing and others came here - they must have come to question their crimes.

Brother Cui used the earth escape technique before, and escaped to the vicinity of the underground cave, where the guards shot him in the ass.

Although senior brother Cui ran fast and was not caught by the guards, the guards there are all capable people, not only the masters who are good at detecting and solving crimes in the demon division of Yizhou Town, but also Ye Zhiqiu, who knows senior brother Cui well. Can't figure it out, the person who was shot in the butt was Cui Youxuan?

Qin Shaoyou, who had figured out this level, hurriedly looked towards the night watchman in the yard, only to find that Brother Cui, who was drinking soup in the yard with a bowl before, had disappeared.

Needless to say, he must have used the Five Elements Escape Technique to hide it.

"The response is quite fast."

Qin Shaoyou muttered in a low voice.

At this time, An Mutong also recognized Ye Zhiqiu.

When transferring the villagers in Shuanggui Village before, he had dealt with Ye Zhiqiu, and he knew that this person was a trial hundred household in the demon division of Yizhou Town, and a favorite general of Zuo Qianhu's subordinates.

Immediately afterwards, he saw that Ye Zhiqiu, Cen Biqing and others came on horseback, but their expressions were not in a hurry, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "It seems that it is not something particularly urgent or serious. .”

An Mutong guessed that Ye Zhiqiu, Cen Biqing and the others came here to convey the internal affairs of the Zhenyaosi.

He couldn't stay here and listen, so he said: "You Shaoyou, since you have guests, I'll go back to the county government first. Later, you make a list of things that need to be done in our county and send someone over. Our county Everyone in the Yamen will fully support and cooperate with you."

Qin Shaoyou cupped his hands and said, "Good fifth brother-in-law, I'm here to thank everyone in the county government."

An Mutong waved his hands and walked out of the kitchen with Qin Shaoyou.

After exchanging salutes and greetings with Ye Zhiqiu, Cen Biqing and others, he left the town demon division and returned to the county government.

"Lord Ye, Lord Cen."

Qin Shaoyou also bowed his hands, and after meeting Ye Zhiqiu, Cen Biqing and others, he asked knowingly: "I don't know if you are here, what business do you have?"

Ye Zhiqiu looked at him, and said with a half-smile, "You don't know why we came here? Where's Daoist Cui?"

"I was still in the yard just now, I guess I have something to do."

Qin Shaoyou still saved a little bit of face for Senior Brother Cui, and didn't say that he saw Ye Zhiqiu and Cen Biqing coming to ask the teacher for their crimes, so he hid.

Ye Zhiqiu snorted coldly, and was about to say something, Qin Shaoyou took a step ahead, and said with a smile: "I probably guessed your purpose, but this matter is really a misunderstanding. This is not a place to talk, please invite a few Follow me to the police room, and I will tell you the ins and outs."

"Okay." Ye Zhiqiu nodded in agreement.

There was a large crowd of spectators gathered outside the gate of the demon town. He didn't want the secrets of Shuanggui Village to be leaked out.

He turned his head to the night watchman he had brought, and ordered: "You guys rest in the yard, and Cen Zongqi and I will go to Qin Zongqi's messenger room to have a chat."

After a pause, he couldn't help sniffing again, and asked curiously, "What are you eating? It's so delicious?"

Not only he could smell the fragrance in the yard, but Cen Biqing and others could also smell it.

Some people even swallowed their saliva uncontrollably, and there was an unsatisfactory 'cuckoo' sound coming from their stomachs.

Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou immediately said: "Master Ye laughed, these are the dishes and soup I made myself. The brothers went on a mission last night and worked hard all night. I specially made some food for them to supplement. See you guys You look like you, you must be hungry all the way, right? It’s time to try my handicraft and give me some advice.”

Without giving Ye Zhiqiu, Cen Biqing and the others a chance to refuse, he asked Zhu Xiucai to take someone to the kitchen and ordered some bowls of wolf demon blood tofu and demon bone soup.

Ye Zhiqiu, Cen Biqing and others originally wanted to refuse, but smelling the aroma of this dish and soup, they were a little bit reluctant.

After all, it was sprinkled with thirteen incense and added fresh ghost dew. This fragrance makes people salivate just by smelling it.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Zhiqiu took the bowl and said, "Since it's Qin Zongqi's kind intention, let's all eat."

The people under his hands were waiting for this sentence, and they immediately started eating and drinking with their bowls in hand.

"what?"

Ye Zhiqiu ate a piece of wolf demon blood tofu, and his eyes lit up.

This blood tofu is not only smooth and soft, but also delicious. The most important thing is that after eating this dish, it is actually helpful for cultivation.

Ye Zhiqiu also had blood tofu from monsters in Yizhou Town Demon Division, but none of them tasted as delicious and effective as this bowl of blood tofu.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Zhiqiu took another sip of the demon bone soup.

The soup tastes mellow and has a long aftertaste, and Ye Zhiqiu found that after drinking this soup, it actually has a strengthening effect on the skin, flesh and bones.

Similarly, in the Yizhou Town Demon Division, Ye Zhiqiu drank a lot of soup made from demon bones. Although it was slightly helpful for cultivation, it did not have the effect of strengthening muscles and bones!

The taste was not as good either.

Ye Zhiqiu looked around and found that the people he brought were all intoxicated.

Cen Biqing's eyes even returned to the vertical pupils of snakes because of eating too comfortably.

Ye Zhiqiu sighed secretly in his heart, "sucked and sucked" a few mouthfuls to finish the monster wolf blood tofu and monster bone soup, licked his lips, and asked curiously while reminiscing about the wonderful taste: "Qin Zongqi, is this dish delicious?" Did you really make this soup?"

"Of course." Qin Shaoyou nodded and admitted.

Ye Zhiqiu sighed: "I have long heard that Qin Zongqi is deeply loved by the ancestor of Nine Heavens Dangmo, and was taught cooking skills by Tuomeng. I didn't expect this cooking skill to be so powerful. The dishes he made not only taste delicious, but also have great efficacy. powerful."

Cen Biqing and others on the side nodded repeatedly to express their agreement.

Qin Shaoyou laughed and said: "Master Ye has too much reputation. If you think the dishes I cook are not bad, you will come here often in the future. Apart from these two dishes, there are many more dishes I know."

If you come here often, it is best to stay in my Mianyuan County Town Demon Division.

Master, I don't think too much.

Qin Shaoyou thought in his heart.

Of course, he didn't dare to speak out.

If Zuo Qianhu knew that he dared to poach the corner of the Yizhou town demon, he didn't know what would happen.

However, after glancing at Cen Biqing, Qin Shaoyou moved his steps calmly, blocking her view so that she would not see the snake wine brewing in the kitchen.

This Cen Biqing is a green snake who has cultivated into a spirit, and Qin Shaoyou is not sure if she will feel dissatisfied after seeing the measuring snake soaked in the wine tank.

After a while, the three of them entered the police room, Qin Shaoyou closed the door, Ye Zhiqiu cast a sound insulation technique, and then said seriously: "Qin Zongqi, tell me, what's going on? What's going on under the ground in Shuanggui Village? You and Cui Yougui will not be unaware, nor will you be unaware of the level of secrecy there."

Qin Shaoyou didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "Actually, it was a misunderstanding. Senior Brother Cui didn't mean to break into the restricted area. The thing is like this..."

He started from the ghost market last night, and continued to talk about the deployment of formations to suppress the underground veins.

Of course, there are some things that he still concealed and did not talk about.

For example, the mysterious living dead found in the well, and the dragon energy in the ground veins.

Even so, the words Qin Shaoyou said were enough to help Senior Brother Cui excuse him.

After Ye Zhiqiu, Cen Biqing and others entered Mianyuan County, they noticed a ghostly aura surrounding the city, and they also found someone to understand the situation. They knew that there was indeed a night watchman and ghost in Mianyuan County last night. fierce battle.

Although they didn't doubt Qin Shaoyou's words, out of procedural requirements, they still sent people to the haunted city and the well to conduct corresponding inspections.

The results of the inspection also confirmed that Qin Shaoyou did not lie.

After confirming that it was an 'accident', Ye Zhiqiu was also relieved, and asked with a smile, "Is the arrow wound on Cui Daochang's butt not a serious problem?"

Qin Shaoyou said: "Shan Daonian treated him, and the problem is not serious."

Ye Zhiqiu asked about Cui Yougui's specific injuries, and his smile became happier, but he said, "It's fine as long as there's nothing serious. In the future, you all pay attention, no matter whether you're investigating the case or doing anything, don't go to Shuanggui Village." Go. If any ghost escapes into the vicinity of Shuanggui Village, please contact us in time, and we will help you solve it."

"Okay." Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement.

After the investigation is over, Ye Zhiqiu will leave with Cen Biqing and others.

But Qin Shaoyou stopped him.

"Master Ye, you are here just in time, bring me a letter to Lord Qianhu."

Qin Shaoyou was going to send someone to send Zuo Qianhu a portrait of the mysterious living dead. Now that Ye Zhiqiu and the others are here, it is natural to make good use of this group of tool people.
