"Um?"

Qin Shaoyou noticed the incense falling on Cai Guizhong's coffin, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

The person who also made the discovery was Su Tingyu.

She sniffed and said with a puzzled expression, "I just smelled incense again, but it disappeared soon."

After hearing what Su Tingyu said, Qin Shaoyou knew that what he saw just now was not a hallucination.

He looked at Cai Guizhong's coffin, then raised his head to look at the statue of the City God in the temple, and suddenly smiled.

Zhu Xiucai next to him immediately came up and asked curiously, "My lord, what are you laughing at?"

Qin Shaoyou did not tell his findings and guesses, but shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Then call everyone on the road.

When he got on his horse, Qin Shaoyou glanced at Cai Guizhong's coffin again, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Cai Guizhong, this kid, seems to be very lucky."

The crowd escorted Cai Guizhong's coffin, and soon left the Town God's Temple.

Because they wanted to investigate the night watchmen in Lingjie Town, and in order to prevent them from abusing others, Qin Shaoyou and the others did not change back to the night watchman uniforms, but still wore casual clothes, dressed like a caravan.

As a result, not long after leaving the Town God's Temple, the night watchman in charge of cruising and guarding found someone spying in the dark.

A few fast horses rode out and quickly caught the man.

Zhao Si, who was an acquaintance, stopped the way and reported for help.

After some cross-examination, Qin Shaoyou and the others knew the reason why Zhao Si came to spy.

After reporting the crime yesterday, Zhao Si returned home and took a bath with boiled water from willow branches, calamus and so on.

Because he was afraid that there would be residual evil spirits, he washed very seriously, just barely rubbing his skin off.

However, Zhao Si did not feel relieved after taking a shower.

When it was completely dark, he became nervous and restless.

He was afraid that Qin Shaoyou and the others would have a false name and would not be able to stop the ghosts who bought their lives, but also feared that Qin Shaoyou and the others were too strong, so that the ghosts would not dare to ask them to buy their lives, and turned their anger on themselves.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Si couldn't fall asleep at all, and didn't dare to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Si suddenly heard a noise.

After careful identification, he found that the sound came from the direction of the abandoned Town God's Temple.

He knew that Qin Shaoyou and others were staying in the deserted City God's Temple, so he guessed that the noise was because Qin Shaoyou and others were fighting with evil ghosts who bought their lives?

The village where Zhao Si lived was some distance away from the abandoned Town God's Temple. Although he heard the noise, he couldn't hear it clearly, and he didn't know who had the upper hand and who was at the disadvantage.

After the noise ended, Zhao Si became even more nervous. He kept praying in his heart, hoping that the gods and Buddhas all over the sky would bless Qin Shaoyou and others to kill the evil spirits who paid for their lives. I will die very miserably.

After finally staying up until dawn, Zhao Si, who hadn't slept all night, couldn't take a break to catch his breath, so he hurried out of the house and ran to the Town God's Temple, wanting to see what the situation was like.

"Look at the situation? Heh... According to me, you want to see if we are dead or not?"

Zhu Xiucai sneered after hearing what Zhao Si said.

He didn't make things difficult for Zhao Si either, and after laughing, he said: "The evil ghost who bought his life has been wiped out, you can go back with peace of mind."

Then he shook his head again: "I told you yesterday, so you can rest assured that you don't trust us!"

Zhao Si was overjoyed and smiled all over his face when he heard that the evil ghost who bought his life had been eliminated. And after hearing what Zhu Xiucai said later, he was a little frightened and at a loss for what to do.

"Okay, scholar, don't scare him." Seeing this, Qin Shaoyou comforted him: "The evil ghost who bought his life has been brought to justice, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. But in the future, you can no longer pick up things of unknown origin."

"Yes, the villain understands that the villain will definitely not pick up things indiscriminately in the future." Zhao Si nodded repeatedly.

With this experience, he really didn't dare to be greedy anymore.

Some petty cheap people are greedy, but they will lose their lives.

"You're just here, make a bet before leaving, lest we look for you later."

Qin Shaoyou intends to deal with the night watchmen here, naturally to collect their criminal evidence.

Dereliction of duty leads to the expansion of demon affairs and more victims, which is undoubtedly a serious crime!

Zhao Si's mood was unstable yesterday afternoon, coupled with the fact that it was not early in the morning and he didn't make notes, Qin Shaoyou didn't let him draw a pledge.

After bringing the murderous ghost to justice at night, Qin Shaoyou asked Zhu Xiucai to record the whole case in detail.

His original plan was to send someone to find Zhao Si to sign and draw a deposit, but he didn't expect Zhao Si to come to the door by himself, which just saved trouble.

Zhao Si didn't know how to write, so he pressed a finger print on the transcript, then thanked Qin Shaoyou and others, and went home happily.

It is really very nervous when you come, and relaxed when you go.

Zhao Si was sent away, and everyone continued on their way.

This time, there were no more accidents, and they arrived in Lingjie Town soon.

In order to guard against ghosts and beasts, a city wall was also built around Lingjie Town, but the scale was much smaller than that of Mianyuan County.

But when passing through the city gate, Qin Shaoyou didn't see the night watchman.

According to the regulations of the demon town, in towns, there should be night watchmen and city gate guards to check the passing passers-by and caravans, so as to reduce the chance of ghosts sneaking into the town.

After Qin Shaoyou stuffed a few pieces of silver to the guards at the city gate, he played around with his clever tongue, and soon became acquainted with the guards at the city gate.

Not only are they called brothers, but someone even proposed to cut off chicken heads and burn yellow paper with him, and become brothers with different surnames.

This long-sleeved and skillful communication skills shocked the Taoist asparagus who witnessed it for the first time.

And Qin Shaoyou also learned the reason why the night watchman wasn't here from the gate guards ~lightnovelpub.net~ who wanted to introduce his sisters to him.

Very simple, go lazy.

A city gate guard said: "At this time, they are either listening to music in the Goulan, or playing money in the gambling shop...The life of this group of night watchmen is very comfortable. Except for the o'clock every day, they don't see anyone at all. .”

Zhu Xiucai was very envious when he heard this.

Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly, and asked, "Aren't they afraid of letting ghosts sneak into the town by doing this?"

Several city gate guards laughed together and shook their heads, saying that you are still too young even though you lead a business team.

The leading city gate guard glanced around and said in a low voice:

"Not only are they not afraid, but they also hope that the ghosts can sneak into the town, and it would be best if they could kill a few people.

Only in this way can the people in the town pay money and beg them to exterminate the demons.

You just came here today, so you don't know, but the night before yesterday, in our Shigu Temple in Lingjie Town, a case of ghosts wounding people happened.

Several monks and pilgrims died strangely and suddenly in the temple.

When the night watchmen arrived at the scene, they said that it was evil spirits, and took the opportunity to make a lot of money.

That's it, they are still too few. So the past two days have been spent without effort, and I want the people in the town to spend more money and invite them to catch ghosts and demons..."

Qin Shaoyou understood.

The night watchmen here in Lingjie Town not only neglected their duties, but also played the trick of raising the bandits' self-respect.

Their ability to catch monsters and kill ghosts is not yet clear, but Qin Shaoyou has seen their ability to make money for food and cards.

Qin Shaoyou winked at Zhu Xiucai, and the latter understood, and after leaving the city gate, he took out a small notebook from his arms and recorded the new evidence on it.

Happy New Years Eve to everyone and all the best
