In the Hao family's martial arts training ground, Hao Xiangtong was performing a set of boxing techniques, and a pair of jade hands brought up the afterimages, making crackling and exploding sounds.
'Bad boy!'
'You're going to embarrass me in front of daddy!'
'You don't want money, and you don't want beauty, right?'
'Then I'll beat you up tonight!'
After Hao Xiangtong finished a set of punches and felt that most of the anger in his heart had been vented, he suddenly heard applause from the side.
Hao Xiangtong turned around and saw his father saying with a smile on his face: "Xiangtong, your boxing skills have improved again. With 250 blows on your face, you are closer to the second level."
After chatting for a few words, Hao Wen continued: "Where did you hear what you told me this morning?"
Hearing that his father wanted to ask about this matter, Hao Xiangtong's cheeks turned red with embarrassment: "Dad, I only listened to other people's lies, so don't ask."
"No...it's not..." Thinking about the way he denied it and criticized his daughter this morning, Mr. Hao was a little embarrassed.
But he was an old landowner in Qingyang County after all. He was not thick-skinned and could not care about things. He quickly suppressed his emotional ups and downs and said: "Actually, I just came back from the Wu family. It seems that the court really wants to negotiate with the northwest wolf demon.
And the market is open to each other.”
Hao Xiangtong paused and looked shocked: "Are we really going to have peace talks?"
Hao Wen asked: "Where did you hear this? Tell me in detail, don't miss a word."
…
That night, when Chu Qiguang finished reading the money and grain account books and walked out of the county's Jiage warehouse, the big head of the Shar-Pei was already poking around in the alley nearby, looking sneaky.
Chu Qiguang looked around and walked over after seeing that no one was around. He immediately came up to him and stuck out his tongue affectionately: "Godfather, find out where that person lives now."
According to the reports from the dog monsters on the street, it seems that someone in Qingyang County is recently investigating these dog monsters. There is even a person who followed them all the way to the ruined temple, which aroused the vigilance of the dog monsters.
"Okay, good job. You must be careful in the future and don't let anyone find out what's wrong."
Chu Qiguang touched the other party's head, and the big head immediately fell to the ground, turned out on his belly, and tried to show his submission.
These days, the dog monsters are living much better than before. Not only do they have enough to eat and drink, but they no longer have to be oppressed by Lao Hei. They no longer have to take risks on the street, they only need to walk back and forth on the street.
Just take a stroll and report the information.
Touching Big Tou's belly, looking at the dog demon who was becoming more and more obedient and submissive, and thinking of the cat demons still in military training in the yard, Chu Qiguang couldn't help but sigh.
"Tell the dog to keep an eye on him. I'll go find him later."
At this moment, Chu Qiguang suddenly raised his head and looked towards the depths of the alley not far away, when a black shadow flashed past.
Chu Qiguang didn't say anything, just smiled and turned to leave.
But deep in the alley, the former head catcher Gu Wei was now in ragged clothes, looking like a beggar.
Gu Wei covered his chest and felt an inexplicable sense of fear coming over his face: "Why does this kid always feel a little evil? He is obviously only at the first level of martial arts, but I am at the second level."
Since Gu Wei lost his position as chief catcher, not only did his officers take revenge on him, but the new chief catcher even kicked him out of the yamen.
When he was a head catcher in the past, he was nicknamed "Chicken Dog Bu Ren". Over the years, he has forced many people to lose their families, their wives and their children.
There were too many people in Qingyang County who had a grudge against him. In addition to stripping off his head, Hezhi County also called Qingtian several times.
As soon as he lost his position as the head catcher, someone immediately beat him up, making him a first-class beggar now.
But what Gu Wei hated the most was Chu Qiguang, who insisted on taking a blood test. With his years of experience as a head catcher, he intuitively believed that Chu Qiguang had something to do with this matter.
During these days of his own investigation in the city, he found something wrong. Chu Qiguang seemed to love dogs very much, and would often pet the wild dogs passing by. As he followed them, he found that there was something strange about these wild dogs.
generally.
Gu Wei thought in his heart: "When I catch your secret, your life will be worse than death..."
With this thought in mind, when he turned out of the alley, he saw a local dog staring at him closely in the distance, with a human look in the dog's eyes.
Gu Wei felt extremely strange in his heart, so he turned and left the alley.
But along the way I couldn't help but look at the wild dogs on the street, feeling that they were sneaking around and staring at me intentionally or unintentionally.
He ran faster and faster, and finally he couldn't see a wild dog anymore, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
…
On the other hand, Chu Qiguang returned to the courtyard, meditated, and boxed until late at night. Suddenly, anger surged from his eyes, and there was a hint of evil in the corner of his mouth.
"Master Qiao, come with me. Chen Gang, take care of your house."
Qiao Zhi looked at Chu Qiguang's appearance and muttered in his heart: "I'm sick again." He asked: "But if I leave too, then Baimi and the others..."
Chu Qiguang glanced at the cat demons and said, "Just let them go together."
So Chu Qiguang led Qiao Zhi and the cat demons through the dark night of Qingyang County, with a violent aura lingering in his chest.
It was rare for the cat demons to come out to show off, and there was a burst of joy in their hearts. However, with the talent of the cat demon clan, they were swept by the night wind, and ordinary people could not feel their traces at all.
The dog demon Laotu ran in front of Chu Qiguang, constantly guiding him.
…
The dock in the north of the city, which was extremely busy during the day, was quiet and not a single person could be seen.
Gu Wei staggered towards his shack here. On weekdays, he helped people move and unload cargo at the dock to earn some money.
Today, Gu Wei met a policeman whom he knew well in the past, but failed to get help from him. He could only be half drunk with a sad look on his face.
"No one believes me."
"Then Chu Qiguang definitely has a problem, and so do those dogs!"
"I must take you to the county jail!"
When he walked to the shack, Gu Wei saw a vague black figure inside. He frowned and said: "Who can sleep in my nest without opening their eyes..."
Chu Qiguang walked out slowly, exposing his face to the moonlight.
Gu Wei looked at Chu Qiguang with an evil look on his face and asked in surprise: "Is it you?" He snorted coldly, with a hint of guilt in his tone: "What are you doing here?"
But just when he backed away a little, green and yellow eyes lit up in the darkness around him, which made his heart tremble, as if he had been poured cold water on his head in the dog days of summer and suddenly woke up from a drunken state.
Came over.
"You!" Gu Wei was shocked and angry, and he opened his mouth to shout,
But before he could shout, he heard a soft bang and Qiao Zhi had already thrown a stone, hitting him in the face like a bullet.
Gu Wei groaned, his vision went dark, and he was on the verge of fainting.
Next, more than a dozen cat demons around him rushed up and threw Gu Wei to the ground.
