Qin Shaoyou reined in his horse and stopped, looking at the man kneeling on the road ahead, shouting his name and kowtowing for help.
Qin Shaoyou noticed this man as early as when he was standing by the roadside. He just saw that his steps were frivolous and his eyes were dull. He was obviously an ordinary person, so he didn't pay attention.
On the way from the county seat to Lingjie Town, Qin Shaoyou and the others encountered too many villagers and traveling businessmen who stopped and watched, and they were already used to it.
After all, this night watchman team carrying a coffin is really uncommon.
But I didn't expect that this person actually came to report a crime and ask for help, and he seemed to know me...
wrong.
Qin Shaoyou quickly noticed that after hearing his self-identity, this man's eyes flashed with surprise and excitement, and even the speed and strength of his kowtow increased a lot.
Obviously, this person didn't know him, but he just heard his name from somewhere.
Sure enough, the man who blocked the road and asked for help kowtowed and said: "When I go back to General Qin Banner, the common man's name is Zhao Si, and he is from Xiahe Village in Lingjie Town..."
Qin Shaoyou interrupted Zhao Si and ordered: "Stand up and speak, there is no need to kowtow anymore."
"Yes, yes." Zhao Si obeyed the order, stood up and said: "The common people have listened to the storytellers who traveled around the countryside and told the heroic deeds of adults. They know that you are the tiger fairy from the sky who came down to earth to save the common people. You have just come to Mian.
Yuan County has solved many strange cases of demons and ghosts, arrested and killed a large number of evil spirits..."
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he couldn't help but look stunned.
The tiger fairy from heaven comes down to earth?
What the hell is this?
Why didn't I know I still had such an identity?
After thinking about it, Qin Shaoyou somewhat understood.
It must be the nickname "Tiger of the Demon-Suppressing Division". I don't know why, but it was added to it by the storytellers and "artistically processed", turning it into a tiger fairy descending from the sky.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but dumbfounded.
Talented scholars are either called Wenquxing or banished to immortality, but he became the Tiger Immortal...
It feels like the level has dropped a lot instantly!
It's not as good as a golden leopard. It's happy and can make you rich suddenly.
Zhu Xiucai, who was standing next to Qin Shaoyou, was exclaiming: "Have all the stories of our Demon Suppressing Division reached here? The movements of these storytellers are quite fast."
Cui Youying was also very excited.
Since the story of the Demon Suppressor has spread from the county to the lower towns, then his reputation as the True Lord of Hundred Explosions and the Demon Suppressor Wolong must have also spread widely!
So he held his chest high and raised his head, and interjected expectantly: "Do you recognize me?"
Zhao Si raised his head, glanced at him, shook his head and said, "The common people won't recognize your words."
"Don't recognize it? How can you not recognize it?" Senior Brother Cui was stunned at first, and then became a little anxious.
He originally wanted to reveal his identity, but felt that it would be a shame to do so, so he endured it and quietly winked at the three junior sisters, asking them to help introduce him.
Unfortunately, Su Jianqing and Wen Zhu, although they guessed what he meant, were too lazy to respond.
Su Tingyu really didn't understand, and asked him with concern: "Senior Brother Cui, what's wrong with you? Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
"It's okay." Cui Yougui could only give up. While secretly scolding his teammates, he asked Zhao Si: "How did you recognize General Qin Qi if you don't recognize me?"
Zhao Si hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth.
"Replying to your lord, the common people don't recognize Mr. Qin. They just heard Mr. Shu say that there is a Zhu Xiaoqi beside Mr. Qin, who is a unique person. The common people recognized Zhu Xiaoqi, so they concluded that your team
, it is General Qin who leads the team."
"Yes, yes, you are very discerning." Zhu Xiucai was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Those storytellers, say that I am a unique person? Haha, they have some discernment. By the way, what do they say about me?
Unparalleled? Is it the wisdom in detecting evil cases? Or the bravery in conquering demons?"
When he asked this question, Zhu Xiucai glanced at Cui Yougui proudly and said in a low voice: "Old Taoist, it's not that I want to steal your limelight, brother, it's those storytellers who are ignorant and insist on making a name for me."
Cui Youyou snorted, his face looking very ugly.
If he wasn't on a mission outside, he would have wanted to put a curse on Zhu Xiucai, so that this guy who dared to show off in front of him would experience the feeling of flying down three thousand feet.
But Zhao Si, after hearing Zhu Xiucai's words, hesitated to answer.
When Cui Youyou saw him like this, he knew something was fishy. His heart moved and he cast a spell to make Zhao Si tell the truth: "The storyteller said that Zhu Xiaoqi's face is one of a million..."
"Pfft."
Hearing this, Cui Youyou couldn't help but laugh and at the same time terminated the spell.
Zhu Xiucai's face is truly one of a kind...
Zhao Si didn't understand why he spoke out what was in his heart, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, with a look of horror and panic on his face.
Zhu Xiucai, on the other hand, looked livid, realizing Cui Youwei's embarrassment just now.
He first said angrily: "From ancient times to the present, there is no good person who writes novels! If I meet these storytellers who talk nonsense, I will have to teach them a lesson!"
Immediately afterwards, he turned around and asked Qin Shaoyou for orders: "Sir, I don't think this person is a good person. It's better to capture him and hand him over to Yousi."
When Zhao Si heard this, he was startled at first and wanted to defend himself, but before he could say anything, he looked happy again and nodded repeatedly: "That's okay. Please take action quickly and catch me."
Go inside the Yamen."
When Qin Shaoyou saw this man's reaction, he knew that he had really encountered a demon, ghost, evil spirit, otherwise he would not be so proactive, and would even happily want to enter the Yamen or jail.
So he waved his hand to stop Zhu Xiucai, looked at Zhao Si, and asked seriously: "Why did you block the road to ask for help? Don't worry, the duty of our Demon Suppression Department is to subjugate and eliminate demons. If you really encounter a demon causing trouble,
We definitely have to take care of it.”
When Zhao Si heard what he said, he felt relieved and replied: "Sir, the common people are haunted by evil spirits. I originally wanted to go to Mianyuan County to report the crime to you for help, but I didn't expect that I met you here."
Your Excellency's team had the courage to rush forward to block the road and ask for help..."
"A fierce ghost?"
Cui Yougui raised his eyebrows slightly.
Just as he was about to seal the seal, Su Tingyu behind him spoke: "No need to use magic, I have already smelled it, he is indeed surrounded by ghost energy... To be precise, it is not him who is entangled by the ghost energy, but
It’s an object on his body.”
"This female... er, the female Taoist Priest is right. I do have an object related to a ghost on my body."
Zhao Si originally wanted to call her "Ma'am", but when he saw the Taoist robe Su Tingyu was wearing, he changed his mind.
At the same time, he reached into his arms, grimaced, and tremblingly took out a silver ingot.
However, this silver ingot does not have the metallic luster that silver products should have. Instead, it is a bit dull and as pale as paper.
No, it’s not like paper...
This silver ingot itself is tied with paper.
This is a paper silver ingot burned to the dead!
If you look closely, there are still faint wisps of scarlet hidden on the pale paper silver ingot.
It's like it's stained with blood flowing from the corpse...
