Chapter 145 To eat or not to eat? (More updates added with monthly ticket)
Qin Shaoyou and Xu Baan rushed to the gate of the Demon Suppression Division and found a large group of people gathered here, and they were very excited.
Xu Ba'an pulled over a strongman guarding the gate and asked, "What are these people doing in our Demon Suppression Department?"
When Lishi saw that the person asking the question was a general, he did not dare to be negligent and bowed and said: "Master Qi, they are here to demand severe punishment for Shen Bin."
"Huh?"
Xu Ba'an was stunned when he heard this.
This situation was something he didn't expect.
After some inquiring, I finally found out the reason.
But early this morning, after the curfew was lifted, Shen Bin's neighbors ran into the streets and told everyone they met that Shen Bin had killed his wife and children, killing many people, and the incident spread throughout Luocheng in an instant.
These neighbors had been holding it in all night, and they were already exhausted. It was so easy to spread the gossip.
Many people didn't believe this at first.
After all, during this period of time, Shen Bin successfully established a persona of infatuation and kindness for himself and deceived many people.
But not long after, people who bought Shen Bin's paintings in the past two days also came forward to testify.
They said that there were indeed ghosts emerging from Shen Bin's paintings last night. Fortunately, the night watchmen from the Demon Suppression Department arrived in time, killed and drove away the ghosts, so that they could save their lives and not be harmed.
With the testimony of these victims, people finally believed that Shen Bin was not a love-struck man or philanthropist at all, but a living corpse with a human face and an animal heart. He used his personality and compassion to deceive them all!
This reversal caused an uproar in Luocheng.
After people were shocked, they couldn't stop being angry and came to the Demon Suppression Department one after another, demanding severe punishment for Shen Bin.
The victim last night also came over to thank the Demon Suppressor for saving his life.
One of the families was in the plaque business.
Originally, they made a plaque saying "Infatuated and Kindhearted" and planned to give it to Shen Bin.
As a result, after experiencing what happened to the ghost in the painting, they worked overnight to change the word "love-minded kind person" on the plaque to "protect the people's well-being." They beat gongs and drums and carried the plaque to the Demon Suppression Department to thank them for saving their lives.
This incident alarmed Xue Qingshan.
He personally came forward to accept the plaque, and told the angry people that Shen Bin would be severely punished in accordance with the law, which attracted waves of applause.
It's a pity that there are no reporters or cameras in this world.
However, there was a painter who wanted to paint the scene of delivering the plaque on the spot.
For this reason, Xue Qingshan specially stood with the person who sent the plaque for a long time, holding the plaque on the left and right.
The smile on his face didn't dare to change.
When the painter finally finished the painting, Xue Qingshan felt that his face had frozen with laughter.
Xue Qingshan originally planned to buy the painting, but the painter refused to accept the money.
In the end, Xue Qingshan accepted the kindness and accepted the painting, preparing to hang it together with the plaque in the lobby of the Demon Suppression Department.
Let everyone who enters and exits the Demon Suppression Department see this painting and this plaque.
In addition to the plaques, many people also sent the paintings they bought from Shen Bin to the Demon Suppression Department.
Ghosts have appeared in these paintings, and they dare not put them in their homes again.
You may want to burn it, but you are afraid that you will only burn the painting, but not the ghost hidden in the painting, and you will still be entangled by the ghost later.
So I simply sent these paintings to the Demon Suppression Department and asked the night watchman to help deal with them.
Zhu Xiucai and others had woken up a long time ago. They were watching the excitement on the sidelines. Now they saw that the person who bought Shen Bin's painting took the initiative to hand it over to the Demon Suppression Department. They were very happy.
But before they could step forward to accept the paintings, Xue Qingshan ordered Xu Ba'an with a serious face: "Destroy the paintings on site in front of the Demon Suppression Department so that everyone can feel at ease!"
Xu Ba'an bowed and accepted the order, and after taking over the paintings with a few of his men, he went to get jujube wood and other materials. He actually lit a bonfire at the gate of the Demon Suppression Department and threw all Shen Bin's paintings in.
The paintings were immediately burned to ashes, and faint sounds of howling ghosts and wolves could be heard, causing the onlookers to scream in surprise.
When Zhu Xiucai and others heard the howling of ghosts and wolves, their faces were filled with regret, and they all said, "What a waste."
Qin Shaoyou heard their whispers and snorted: "Waste? Do you know that some of the ghosts in these paintings are men disguised as women!"
He told Zhu Xiucai and others the relevant circumstances that Xu Baan had interrogated.
After Zhu Xiucai heard this, he felt bad all over.
"So, I probably almost kissed a male ghost last night? It was so close."
But there is also a strong man with a clear mind: "If all male ghosts could be as beautiful as last night... that would be great."
The several strong men standing next to him all changed their expressions and moved to the side in unison, keeping a distance from him.
After Shen Bin's paintings were burned on the spot, and Xue Qingshan promised to "punish him severely in accordance with the law," the people gathered at the gate of the Demon Suppression Division dispersed one after another.
The night watchmen also dispersed, each going about his or her own business.
As soon as Qin Shaoyou returned to the mission room, he saw Xue Xiaobao and ran over to ask him about Shen Bin.
After asking, I found out that it was the third sister who heard about Shen Bin and asked Xue Xiaobao to come to the front yard to inquire about the situation.
"Didn't your father tell your mother about this?" Qin Shaoyou was a little confused.
Xue Xiaobao shook his head and said: "My father didn't come back to sleep last night. He said he had urgent business to deal with overnight."
Is there any urgent business that needs to be handled overnight?
Qin Shaoyou was slightly startled.
Last night, there was only one urgent official matter, interrogating Shen Bin.
But this errand was left to Mr. Xu Qi, and my brother-in-law only stayed in the execution room for a while and then left.
So, when he didn't go back to sleep, did he really have urgent business to deal with, or was he hiding from the government?
Although Qin Shaoyou was curious, he didn't dare to ask more questions.
He immediately went to the backyard and told the third sister about Shen Bin.
Just after finishing speaking, Xue Qingshan also returned to the backyard.
The third sister hurriedly went up to him, pulled him and said, "Husband, I shouldn't let you imitate Shen Bin. It's best for you to be like this now."
The two of them hugged each other, hugging each other, completely pretending that Qin Shaoyou, the light bulb, did not exist.
Qin Shaoyou, who was fed a mouthful of dog food, walked out of the backyard with a smile on his face and a feeling of shame in his heart.
He originally planned to go home to make ghost juice for his father and reunite with him to relieve his energy.
But before leaving, I suddenly remembered the bowl of Duhua tea that I poured for the statue of Jiutiandangmo Patriarch last night.
I took the opportunity to go to the lobby to check the situation.
It turned out that the degree of tea in the bowl was still there, not missing at all.
It's just that the color has become a little lighter.
So is it eating or not eating?
Qin Shaoyou held the bowl and looked up at the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch.
But the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch did not look down at him this time, but turned its gaze to the side.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but be stunned: What do you mean by this?
