Shan Daonian responded with a yes, and immediately left the Dragon King Temple with a few night watchmen to look for the coffin in Shuanggui Village.
What Qin Shaoyou didn't expect was that they found a good coffin very quickly. Both the material and the workmanship were of the best quality.
This efficiency of work shocked Qin Shaoyou, and asked them quickly: "Where did you get this coffin? Is there a coffin shop in Shuanggui Village?"
Shan Daonian shook his head and said: "Sir, this coffin was not bought from a coffin shop. It was prepared by an old man in the village for himself."
"Since the old man in the village prepared it for himself, how could he be willing to sell it?"
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly, thinking to himself that the miracle doctor and his gang were using some means to rob, right?
Shan Daonian explained: "Don't worry, Sir, we paid enough to buy this coffin, and there is absolutely no need to force it. The old man who prepared this coffin for himself disappeared a few months ago, and his
The family members all felt that it was this coffin that killed the old man. If the coffin hadn't been expensive to make, they would have thrown it away and destroyed it long ago. When they heard that we were looking for a coffin, they took the initiative to come to the door and take the coffin.
The coffin was sold to us."
"So that's it." Qin Shaoyou nodded. Since the miracle doctor and the others were not taking advantage of him by chance, he felt relieved.
As for the missing old man, it was most likely that Xu Fangjun dragged him to the underground cave.
Either he was turned into a zombie, or he was sacrificed to the Fuso Ghost Tree or eaten by the Corpse King.
But there is one thing Qin Shaoyou can't understand: Why did Xu Fangjun arrest the old man?
The old man is already old, and both his blood and vitality have been exhausted. What is the use of arresting such a person?
Shan Daonian saw Qin Shaoyou's suspicion and said: "Sir, according to inquiries from my subordinates, I learned that the old man is a village elder here."
It turns out he is a village elder, so it makes sense.
Generally speaking, village elders are old and virtuous people.
These people are indeed not as good as young adults and children in terms of vitality and vitality, but they are often highly virtuous and highly respected, and this is also a kind of energy.
Presumably, Xu Fangjun, the corpse-raising demon, must have mastered some kind of secret technique, which can transform the power of desire such as virtue and popularity into the corpse king and the Fuso Ghost Tree to absorb it.
Qin Shaoyou sighed softly for the victimized village elder, and then ordered Shan Daonian to put the sacrificed brother into the coffin. He also called Cui Youyou and solemnly warned:
"Senior Brother Cui, when daybreak, you will lead a few people to escort this brother's coffin back to his hometown and hand it over to his relatives."
The reason why this task was given to Cui Youkui was because this night watchman was under Cui Youkui's command, and he should be the one to carry the coffin back to his hometown.
And for Cui Youyou, this was also an experience in the world of mortals.
Cui Yougui knew this very well, so naturally he would not refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou took out some gold and silver from his arms and handed them into Cui Youying's hands.
"The money this brother accumulated during his lifetime should have been placed in the Yaozhen Division. When you send him back to his hometown, go back to the Mianyuan County Yaozhen Bureau first, withdraw his savings, and give them to his relatives.
Send it. As for these gold and silver, they are the pensions given to his relatives by our Mianyuan County Town Demon Division."
Seeing this, Xue Qingshan on the side also asked someone to take some money and give it to Cui Youhang.
Cui Youyou took the coins and suddenly felt very heavy.
It's not that there is a lot of money, but he feels that these coins were obtained by the lives of his brothers, and he cannot lose them under any circumstances, otherwise he will not be able to explain to his dead brothers.
It was dawn in a blink of an eye.
Cui Youyi led a few attentive men, loaded the coffin containing the bodies of the sacrificed brothers in a carriage, said goodbye to Qin Shaoyou and others, and left Shuanggui Village.
Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan did not leave.
Because Zuo Qianhu sent Cen Biqing up to convey a new order to them, asking them to stay in Shuanggui Village until the local civil affairs officials arrived and assist them in moving the villagers of Shuanggui Village collectively to other places.
There is a ghost hibiscus tree under the ground in Shuanggui Village. Whether for safety or confidentiality reasons, the residents here must be relocated.
The civil affairs official came soon, and it was none other than the new magistrate of Mianyuan County, Qin Shaoyou's fifth brother-in-law, An Mutong.
Of course, An Mutong did not come alone, he also brought a group of government servants and officials.
After An Mutong arrived at Shuanggui Village, he first looked for the village elders, but they all disappeared.
He had no choice but to ask the government servants and officials to notify every household, asking each household to immediately pack up their belongings and prepare to move out.
Fortunately, the villagers here in Shuanggui Village are also full of fear of this place after experiencing being parasitized by the Three Corpse Insect Gu and almost turning into a living zombie monster.
Although it is difficult to leave one's homeland, it is not that difficult compared to losing one's life and becoming a monster.
In addition, this kind of village relocation is a mandatory rule of the government, so it is useless for them to resist and they can only obey honestly.
An Mutong was so busy that he finally made arrangements for the village relocation, and then he took some time out to come see Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan.
As soon as they met, he asked curiously: "What exactly did you find here? Why do you want all the villagers here to move away?"
Xue Qingshan shook his head: "Don't ask, we can't tell you even if you ask."
An Mutong turned his attention to Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou said: "It really can't be said, and we don't know much about the situation. Now this case has been fully taken over by the Prefectural Town Demon Division."
As soon as An Mutong heard this, he knew that the case was not simple, and he immediately sighed and said: "Okay, I won't ask anymore. Alas, as soon as I took office, I encountered several difficult things in a row. As a county magistrate, I have to do
It’s too difficult!”
It has to be said that An Mutong's luck is indeed not very good.
As soon as he took office, he faced a strange drought.
Even if the Corpse King is now eliminated and the drought will gradually ease, it still involves many disaster relief and civilian affairs, which is enough to give him a headache.
What's more, now there is another relocated village.
Although the villagers of Shuanggui Village are relatively cooperative now, Anmin's children are also in a lot of trouble after moving to the village.
If it is not handled well, it will easily arouse public resentment and anger.
Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan expressed deep sympathy for An Mutong.
But they were all members of the Demon Suppression Department, and they couldn't help An Mutong much in matters of civil affairs.
But An Mutong was capable after all, and it only took one day to relocate all the villagers in Shuanggui Village.
A few days later, reinforcements from the Yaosi Division of Zhouzhen arrived, bringing with them a group of soldiers and directly built Shuanggui Village into a military camp.
At least in the eyes of outsiders, Shuanggui Village has become a military camp.
Therefore, it is natural that the place should be tightly guarded and no one is allowed to approach, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.
Of course, those protective umbrellas behind the Corpse King will definitely know about this from various channels.
Zuo Qianhu also wished they knew and then took the initiative...
However, these matters have nothing to do with Qin Shaoyou and the others for the time being.
After the reinforcements from the Zhouzhen Yaosi Division arrived, Qin Shaoyou, Xue Qingshan and others ended their respective missions.
Xue Qingshan led the team back to Luocheng that day.
Before leaving, he grabbed Qin Shaoyou and warned him very seriously: "Just keep some suspicions in your heart, and don't tell others. After returning to Luocheng, I will help you pay attention to things that interest you.
, I’ll let you know when I have news.”
Qin Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, then solemnly handed over his hand to thank him.
After seeing off Xue Qingshan, Qin Shaoyou also called to Monk Ma, Shan Daonian, and Zhu Xiucai, who had been lying down for two days before regaining his energy, and asked them to take their respective men, leave Shuanggui Village, which had become a military camp, and return
Mianyuan County.
On the way, Mianyuan County, which had been hot and dry for more than a month, finally started to rain.
In various villages in Mianyuan County, countless people rushed into the rain to cheer and celebrate. When Qin Shaoyou and the others saw this scene, they did not take shelter from the rain. They just walked in the rain, letting the rain wash away the dust and heat from their bodies.
Returning to the Yaosi Division in Mianyuan County, as soon as they stepped through the gate, before they saw Sun Xianzong and others who were left behind, Qin Shaoyou and the others first saw a beautiful red figure holding an umbrella...
