After some consideration, Qin Shaoyou agreed to An Mutong's request.

Zuo Qianhu just asked them not to disclose what they saw and heard in the underground cave, and didn't say that they were not allowed to tell others the clues they found from the documents.

What's more, An Mutong is not only the magistrate of Mianyuan County, but also his own family, so he is trustworthy.

Moreover, if there were any clues found from the documents and materials, and the investigation was to be carried out, with the support and assistance of An Mutong, it would undoubtedly achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, Qin Shaoyou did not forget to tell An Mutong repeatedly:

"If I find clues in the documents, I can tell you, but you must keep it secret. This is not only my request to you as the head of a county town demon division, but also my request to you as my brother-in-law. request."

An Mutong understood what Qin Shaoyou meant, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter, and I will not leak any information, let alone risk the lives of your fifth sister and two children."

When he was in Shuanggui Village, although An Mutong didn't get any information, he guessed from everyone's reaction and the level of secrecy that the case was definitely not easy.

Hearing Qin Shaoyou's words at this moment, he understood the warning hidden in the words in seconds.

Qin Shaoyou nodded, didn't say much, and got up to leave.

An Mutong stayed behind and said: "It's getting late, why don't you sit down for a while and have dinner together after Xiaoya and the others come back? I haven't seen you for a few days, Xiaoya and the others also miss you very much. "

Qin Shaoyou glanced at the sky outside the window, and it was indeed almost dusk.

The evening after the heavy rain is extraordinarily refreshing.

Although Qin Shaoyou wanted to stay, but after a little consideration, he still declined An Mutong's invitation.

"Forget it today. I still have some important things to do. Come back another day."

The patriarch is still waiting for me to make ghost casserole for him in the demon town...

Qin Shaoyou glanced at the Zhenyaosi courtyard next door.

When he went out just now, he obviously saw the dissatisfied eyes of the Nine Heavens Slaughtering Demon Patriarch, as if he was asking him: If you don't hurry up and make new dishes, where are you going?

Qin Shaoyou used 'buying a casserole' as an excuse, and just walked out of the gate of the demon town.

If he had dinner at Fifth Sister's house, the time would be delayed for a long time, and if he didn't buy a casserole to take home, the Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch would be furious.

In order not to be unlucky because of Ye Zhiqiu's unlucky stepping into the gate of the demon town with his left foot first, Qin Shaoyou decided that it would be better to eat this meal another day.

As he walked out of the house, he said: "By the way, brother-in-law, when Xiaoya comes back, you can give her a message for me, saying that the next time I see her, I will test her to see how good she is about hiding weapons and equipment." There is also the study of traps, whether there is any slack. And Zi Zhan, I want to test how he is doing with his sword skills."

On the way to Mianyuan County, Qin Shaoyou not only taught An Ziling how to hide weapons and equipment, as well as the knowledge of organ traps, but also gave An Zizhan the Thunder Saber technique.

Of course, with An Zizhan's current level, the speed of the Thunder Saber Technique is completely lacking.

It's just like a download software with the same name.

An Mutong said with a smile: "Little girl is fine. She was interested in hidden weapons and equipment and traps. Although you are not here these days, she has not been lazy at all and practiced hard every day. But Zi Zhan is different. Oh, he was forced to learn his sword skills, and he was also forced to practice by his mother these days. He missed you very much, but after hearing that you wanted to test his sword skills, he probably changed his mind gone."

Qin Shaoyou also laughed, and said: "Zi Zhan just changed his mind, and he has given me a lot of face. Unlike Xue Xiaobao, what he looks forward to all day is to shave his head in the first month."

Speaking of Xue Xiaobao, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but miss this brat.

I don't know how many stops he was punished by the teacher during this period of time? How much trouble did you get into?

I didn't see him being cleaned up, I didn't see him being chased by the third sister, jumping all over the yard, I always feel that these days are not lively enough.

"Ah Choo!"

Luocheng, Confucian Temple.

Xue Xiaobao, who skipped class and came here, sneezed.

A tall scribe was sitting in front of him, saying, "A scholar must be resolute, and there is a long way to go." Isn't it important to benevolence as one's own responsibility? After death, it is not far away'.

Hearing him sneezing, the scribe paused his lecture and asked concerned: "What, did you catch a cold?"

"No." Xue Xiaobao rubbed his nose and shook his head, "I don't know why I sneezed, maybe there are bad people saying bad things about me behind my back."

The scribe couldn't help laughing, and stood up: "Forget it, that's all for today's lesson. Next, I will teach you sword skills, which can also be regarded as strengthening your physique and making you less likely to get sick."

"Master, can you master swordsmanship?" Xue Xiaobao's eyes lit up immediately.

Even though his father is Xue Qingshan, he never taught him how to use swords or swords, but only taught him some methods of exercising his body and tempering his blood.

Because Xue Qingshan wanted him to follow the path of a civil servant, and he didn't want him to follow in his own footsteps, living a life of licking blood with knives in the demon town.

Before the tall scribe could answer, a student wearing a blue scarf who had been accompanying the scribe smiled and said, "Master not only knows swordsmanship, but also rides a horse, shoots arrows and drives a chariot. Otherwise, how did the master travel all over the world back then? Are people going to reason?"

Xue Xiaobao looked at the tall scribe, and then at the big sword in his hand, which was almost as thick as a man's forearm. He was a little dazed: "Is it necessary to use such a big sword to be reasonable?"

The student wearing the blue scarf said: "If the other party is willing to listen to your reasoning, naturally you don't need to use a sword. But if you meet someone who is nonsense and refuses to listen to your reasoning, you should beat him up first to convince him." , and then reason with him.”

Xue Xiaobao nodded half understanding.

Qin Shaoyou didn't know that, with his words, Xue Xiaobao started to learn kendo in addition to studying Confucian classics.

After bidding farewell to Fifth Sister, he told Fifth Sister's husband not to send her off, and left the county office on his own.

But after walking out of the gate of the county government office, he turned back and asked the gatekeeper, "Where can I buy casserole in the county town?"

The yamen servant replied: "Master Zongqi, go to the West Market to have a look, there should be something for sale there."

Qin Shaoyou thanked him and went straight to West Market.

Although it had just rained heavily and there was still water on the street, there were still many people passing by.

They all carried buckets, looking hurried, ready to go to the well or the river to fetch water.

Although when it rained before, many people took out water tanks, buckets and other things to catch the rainwater, but the days of drought in the past were really sad. Now that there is water, they all want to stock up more, so that In case there is another drought in the back, there will be no water.

Some people even fought with others in order to get water earlier and get more water.

Fortunately, An Mutong had expected such a thing to happen a long time ago, and sent many yamen servants to guard the wells and riversides in the city.

Whenever there was a fight, these yamen servants would go over to stop it in time, so that there was no chaos.

When he arrived in West Market, Qin Shaoyou walked around, and sure enough, he saw a shop selling casserole.

However, when he selected the casserole and asked the price, the boss waved his hand:

"Qin Zongqi took a fancy to our family's casserole. It's our family's honor. Just take it away, and don't take any money."

Qin Shaoyou was stunned.

I have taken a fancy to your casserole, are you going to give it to me? Then if I fancy you...

Cough cough, forget it, this kind of flirty talk is inappropriate, and I'm not the kind of person like Zhu Xiucai or Prime Minister Cao.

But Qin Shaoyou couldn't help guessing~lightnovelpub.net~ The boss doesn't charge money, is it because the people in the town of Yaosi in Mianyuan County used to eat and get cards in the city, so they let the vendors see Don't dare to collect money when the night watchman comes to your door?

If that's the case, they will have to be disciplined when they go back, and they will beat the night guards of the Mianyuan County Town Demon Division that have been retained.

Qin Shaoyou didn't want to take advantage of this, and he also wanted to establish a good relationship with the masses and open up a good situation for his future work in Mianyuan County, so he insisted on giving money.

But the boss just refused to accept it, and revealed the real reason:

"It is all thanks to Qin Zongqi and your night watchmen that our children can be rescued. You and the night watchmen from the demon town are our family's great benefactors! How can I collect money from this benefactor who came to buy casserole ? If the neighbors in the neighborhood find out about it, why don’t they poke my spine and call me ungrateful?”

It turned out that the boss was actually the parent of a child who was turned into a dog.

No wonder he refused to take money.
