There are green mountains outside the mountains and flowing water in the distance.
Autumn has come to the capital of the gods, but the wild grass has not withered.
The east wind did not blow back, and Yu Yu walked alone in the south of the city.
After climbing over several short slopes, the town appeared quietly like a pearl on the official road in the south of the city.
Cao Su led his men into the small town.
As soon as I entered the town, I smelled a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. I crossed the stone bridge and strolled on Beizha Street and the river pier. There were three or two women beating their clothes with wooden mallets.
The tile-roofed house is clear and has stone-gray walls.
One after another, the neat and orderly tiles are arranged in an orderly manner on the wooden shelf, which is neither monotonous nor boring.
The Xiaoshaliu River passes through the village.
On the shore, wisps of smoke from the houses were rising.
In the distance, the winding green mountains are vaguely visible.
An old man with gray hair was waiting for Cao Su and others in the town.
"Little old man, I greet you all!"
When the old man saw that he was not young, he had to kneel down and worship him when he came up.
Cao Su was not used to such a big man kneeling down to him, so he walked over and supported the old man.
Unexpectedly, the old man was a decent man and he only bowed slightly.
Before Cao Su could help him, he stood up on his own.
"Cao Baihu, this is Li Zheng from Xiaotao Town and the head of the local Feng family."
"Mr. Feng is eighty-five years old this year, and his body is quite strong."
oh?
Cao Su gave a slight hesitation to show his surprise.
He could clearly feel that Mr. Feng's energy and blood were quite strong, and he was not old-fashioned at all. He thought that when he was young, he was also a warrior in the realm of energy and blood.
However, the lifespan of a warrior in the Qi and Blood realm will not increase much.
If you are over 80 years old and don't look old, it means you have taken good care of yourself.
The old man in this letter was so surprised when he saw all the adults from the hundreds of families who came to the city of God. He couldn't help but smile proudly, but he said modestly: "A rural town is not as prosperous as the city, but it doesn't have to be disturbed by the world of mortals, and life is simpler.
It’s much more comfortable to relax.”
When he said this, his face looked a little sad.
He sighed and said: "I didn't expect that such a thing would happen. This time it really scared everyone in our town. I had no choice but to ask the adults of Shendu Mansion for help."
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"Don't worry, old man. This is Cao Su and Cao Baihu from our Arch Guard Department. He is a fifth-grade master. He can cut off eucalyptus like a god. He will definitely be able to restore your light."
Luo Baotou, who was traveling with him from Shendu Prefecture, spoke up and introduced Cao Su.
Mr. Feng's eyes immediately shone and he thanked him repeatedly.
Then he led everyone to the small town, and from his mouth, everyone knew the whole story.
It is said that there is a family in the town whose surname is Du. The Du family has a family relationship with them and can be regarded as a family of family friends.
The two families have always lived in peace and harmony in this small town for generations.
However, just the day before yesterday, the 18-year-old son of the Du family suddenly drowned.
This young master of the Du family was the son of the current head of the Du family. He held it in his mouth for fear of melting since he was born. He is very precious.
After reaching adulthood at the age of eighteen, the Du family's young master invited a few friends to play at Qingxi Lake on the edge of Xiaotao Town. Unexpectedly, the Du family's young master drowned in the lake.
It is said that they were only three or five friends, all of whom were children of the same age as everyone in the town, but in the end, a young master from the Du family died.
Now the Du family is in a mood and several conflicts have broken out with the Feng family.
"The fish scales?"
Cao Su heard that the drowned man had the same characteristics as the drowned man in the divine capital that day.
"There are also fish scales. We have made it clear to the Du family that it must be the work of the water monster, but the Du family seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. It is not said that we did bad things, but they also said that we cast a spell to get the fish scales later.
of."
Mr. Feng had a sad look on his face. He couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that the two families were now on the same side, which had greatly affected the safety of the town.
"Can we see the body?"
Capt. Luo was very concerned about whether the case could continue. According to what Mr. Feng said, the Du family was so xenophobic and hostile to the Feng family that they might not let the agents invited by the Feng family come in to investigate.
"The little old man has already saved his face, but now he doesn't have much confidence in his heart. When we get to the Du family soon, we have to see all the adults!"
What Mr. Feng said made everyone look at each other in shock.
When exploring a eucalyptus, you must first look at the corpse and then explore the eucalyptus. If you haven't seen the corpse, what's the point of exploring the eucalyptus?
Cao Su interrupted everyone's random thoughts and said solemnly: "Please lead the way."
Mr. Feng then led everyone through the town.
Under the peaceful and slow life of a small town, there seems to be a different kind of dark shadow hidden.
Cao Su inquired as he walked. Wherever his eyes looked, they were like thunder and lightning. No one dared to look at him.
After arriving at Du's house, everyone saw a funeral hanging at the door of Du's house.
The cries in the house were loud and the wails were everywhere.
When the people of the Du family heard that the Feng family was coming, and they were bringing people with them, they rushed out of the house one after another.
Some of the men of the Du family were holding sticks and some were holding short blades. They were all wearing mourning clothes and had red eyes. They gathered around Cao Su and others.
........
........
The east wind is picking up.
The town became a little more desolate. In front of the funeral gate, Cao Su and his party were surrounded.
But there was no panic on anyone's face.
Not to mention Cao Su, even Qiu Bai and He Shan only regarded each other as ordinary people.
Ordinary people armed with sticks have no fighting power. Even if they have practiced boxing and kicking for several years, how can they compare with the experienced masters of the Arch Guards in the Divine Capital?
"What are you going to do?"
Mr. Feng was probably afraid that the Du family would offend the big shots from Shendu City, so he took the initiative to stand up and scold them loudly.
The men of the Du family were already angry when they saw that the old man of the Feng family dared to bring people to the house.
The head of the Du family, who was holding a stick in his hand, passed the stick forward, pointed at Cao Su and others and cursed: "Don't bully others too much!"
Hasn’t this started to deceive you yet?
Cao Su saw the excited expressions of several people and gave Qiu Bai a look.
Qiu Bai understood and walked to the crowd to negotiate: "My father-in-law, don't get excited. We are from the government of Shendu. If you have any grievances, it's okay to say it!"
A member of the government of Shendu?
These few words woke up the Du family who were in anger.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The head of the Du family took a closer look and saw that the leader, Cao Su, was wearing a white python robe.
At this moment, a roaring sound came from the sky.
A man walking with a sword looks like he has fallen from the sky.
The white clothes are fluttering, very chic.
The ordinary people below looked at it and looked shocked.
I thought it was an immortal coming.
Zhou Wei circled above everyone's heads twice, then jumped off the flying sword and landed next to Cao Su.
Cao Su, who was as strong as a mountain of iron, finally attracted the attention of both parties.
"This is Cao Baihu, the Archguard Bureau of Shendu Prefecture, a high-ranking imperial official of the fifth rank."
Qiu Bai was very discerning and introduced Cao Su's identity at the right time.
Sure enough, the ordinary people outside the city had no reaction when they heard the word "hundred households", but when they heard about the "positive fifth-grade" official, they were shocked.
Suddenly, I felt that Cao Su's image became more glorious, taller and more imposing, making people dare not look directly at him.
Cao Su took two steps forward and said calmly: "But it doesn't matter."
With Cao Su's affirmation and the protection of this official body, the Du family who gathered around calmed down.
However, the eyes they looked at the old man of the Feng family were still full of hatred and resentment.
Cao Su saw it clearly and was thoughtful in his heart.
The head of the Du family was no longer young. He was an old man over fifty years old. He put down his stick. Although he was still wary, he was willing to tell Cao Su the whole story.
But when I got to the sad part, I couldn't help but get excited.
The specific situation is pretty much the same as what Old Man Feng said, but the details are quite strange.
For example, although his son is naughty by nature, he has always been afraid of water because he cannot swim. How could he run to the lake and drown in the river?
"That makes sense."
Cao Su nodded and acknowledged the words of the head of the Du family.
Unless there are special circumstances, people who drown in water are generally people who are better at swimming. People who don't know how to swim will subconsciously stay away from lakes and rivers, which is relatively safer.
"Also, the Feng family's kid was clearly not invited to the kid's birthday party. Why did the Feng family's kid show up at the scene? The Feng family hasn't given us an explanation yet! Please seek justice!"
The head of the Du family looked at Master Feng angrily, his eyes spitting fire.
The two families have actually been at war with each other several times. Just before Cao Su came, the Du family was not strong enough to defeat the Feng family.
"oh?"
Cao Su turned to look at the old man of the Feng family: "Is this the case?"
The old man of the Feng family said helplessly: "It is indeed true, but my daughter has always admired the young master of the Du family. Although the young master of the Du family did not invite my daughter this time, my daughter took the initiative to send gifts and congratulations. With such sincerity, we cannot be blamed. On your head?"
"Admiration! Admiration? What a big joke!"
The head of the Du family was not stupid either. He cursed loudly: "It's just your shabby little shoes, don't dirty our ears!"
After hearing this, Cao Su was indeed confused. The two families held different opinions and it was difficult to judge.
His first impression of the old man of the Feng family was actually pretty good. The old man worshiped everyone he met and he seemed to be a responsible person at first glance.
And the head of the Du family has a bad temper and looks like he wants to eat people, which is not pleasing to people.
Cao Su maintained a business-like attitude and said calmly: "In this case, you two should stop arguing and let me take a look at the body of the deceased. I will make my own conclusion in my own mind!"
Looking at the dead body is the simplest and most straightforward thing to do.
However, the head of the Du family showed a troubled expression on his face: "Master Cao, the child was sealed in the coffin yesterday. I'm afraid it will be difficult to comply with this matter."
So urgent?
Cao Su frowned slightly.
After listening to what the head of the Du family said, I felt how difficult the matter was.
