Qin Yuelou returned to Shouyang City by Mocha, but obviously no one came to greet him. Li Kunhai's body was still hung on the city gate to enjoy the wind and sun. Fortunately, it did not rain, otherwise it would not have been done.
Already.
So before approaching the city gate, Qin Yuelou took out the sturgeon demon's head from the warehouse and walked into Shouyang City holding it with one hand.
This move attracted everyone to watch. The sturgeon monster's body was already huge, not to mention its head. Such a huge fish head made Qin Yuelou want to try stewing tofu.
But Qin Yuelou walked directly to the center of Shouyang City holding the fish head, and then threw the fish head to the ground, and a heavy muffled sound came from the ground.
"Take a look, fellow villagers, I have eliminated the fish monster in the sea. Unfortunately, the head of the Zhao family and several other family members were killed by this monster. I tried my best to save them all.
I can only say that I really feel ashamed of your trust." Qin Yuelou shouted, just like a small vendor.
The expressions of the people watching first changed from shocked to overjoyed, but some were happy, some were sad, and some elderly people sighed.
"These old people are not dead and they will not be exploited so miserably, but the young ones are all greedy. What should we do if we really want those young people to become the heads of each family?"
Some people whispered, but Qin Yuelou could naturally hear them with his strong ears.
It was nothing more than worrying about what to do next, and Qin Yuelou also listened to it and remembered it in his heart.
Although the sea monster is eliminated, the human demon cannot be eliminated.
He shook his head, and left at the invitation of the government. During the time when he went to sea, a new official also took up the post. This new official also knew about Qin Yuelou's going to sea to kill monsters, and Qin Yuelou happened to
Came back with that huge fish head,
It's also a good time to entertain this knight-errant hero.
The new official's name is Bao Qing. He looks smart, but also cunning like a fox. Judging from his eloquence, he is probably an eloquent person.
Although he was inviting Qin Yuelou to a banquet, he was actually asking Qin Yuelou to go to the place where he lived.
"Young Master Qin went to sea this time and gained a lot. It's just that the heads of these families were killed by the sea monster, so it's not that easy to deal with." Bao Qing said meaningfully, took a sip of wine and made a slurping sound.
.
"What do you think, Mr. Bao?" Qin Yuelou asked Bao Qing.
The purple mandarin duck on Bao Qing's body is still very smart, and he is not so unfamiliar with Bao Qing, but is closer to Bao Qing. This shows one thing,
It remains to be verified whether Bao Qing is an upright official, but he is definitely not an unscrupulous official.
The Dragon Tiger Qi is the embodiment of the dynasty's Dragon Qi in the position. When the civil, animal, and military beasts transformed by the Dragon Tiger Qi are at odds with the official holder, it truly means that the official is not good enough.
But the purple mandarin duck on Bao Qing's body is agile and close, which can explain a lot of things.
"Actually, whether these people are dead or not has nothing to do with me. It's just that before I came here, I disguised myself and asked the local people. Naturally, I also knew what kind of urinals these people were, and I also knew how the person before me was complicit.
To be honest, everyone loves money, but money should also be spent in a proper way."
"You are quite honest in what you say, but I think you might as well get straight to the point. After all, your time is very valuable." Qin Yuelou smiled.
"What I mean is that if you protect me here for a period of time, I will weaken these big families, at least until I can safely work here until I retire and return to my hometown or become a successful person." Bao Qing also said directly.
,
"I have nothing to fear from the other families, but the main one is the Zhao family, which is really evil."
"Why do you think the Zhao family is evil?" Qin Yuelou asked with raised eyebrows.
"The mummy hanging on the city gate is a subordinate of the Zhao family. Although it is also the head of the family, it can be hung on the city and cannot be put down no matter what ability it uses. This means that the Zhao family has offended some high-ranking officials.
People are rare and talented, and those who can offend experts and talented people are probably considered to have some extravagant skills. In addition, the previous county magistrates also died in unknown ways. Isn't this enough to show the evil nature of the Zhao family?
?" Bao Qing said with a smile,
"And the eldest lady of the Zhao family, just looking at it makes people feel that she is not a mortal, which further confirms my opinion. Moreover, I have also visited the Zhao family. The place feels too depressing.
, as if many people had died there.”
Qin Yuelou glanced at Bao Qing with some surprise. Although his guess was somewhat unfounded, it was normal to be able to detect problems in the Zhao family's house, but it was a bit rare to be able to detect that Meng Mo was not like a mortal.
This Bao Qing can be considered to have a keen sense.
"It's just that you want me to protect you, but that may not work because I have to go to other places to kill other demons." Qin Yuelou took out the little yellow book and showed the next target to Bao Qing.
Bao Qing looked at the vivid demons in Xiao Huang's book and said nothing. He just picked up a chopstick and ate the food, thinking for a moment.
"Can the young hero stay here for ten days? Can you protect my safety within these ten days?" Bao Qing asked Qin Yuelou.
"Okay." Qin Yuelou nodded.
"That's good." Bao Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then I'm curious, you only have ten days, how can you weaken these families to the point where they won't affect you?"
"It's a simple matter." Bao Qing picked up another chopstick and said, "Just find any excuse and put a group of people in jail. If you can't stand it alone, it will naturally collapse."
"That's something for you to consider. After all, I'm only responsible for protecting your safety." Qin Yuelou glanced at Bao Qing, seemingly surprised by the lightness and harshness in Bao Qing's words.
The more advanced evolution of the family is the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family is dependent on the imperial power, but it restricts the imperial power. When the proportion of power in a system is unbalanced, it will inevitably lead to a dominant family. If the person in power is considerate of the people, patriotic and caring for the people, and is a wise king, then
The people under the rule will naturally be able to live and work in peace and contentment, and the country and the people will be peaceful.
But if the person in power is a coward or a tyrant, then the country will only face resistance.
From a big perspective to a small one, the government represents the court, and the family can be regarded as a noble family. When aristocratic families and the government only care about their own enjoyment in a collusive manner, the people below will only suffer.
The first thing the new official did when he took office was that Bao Qing also fully understood all the unreasonable and legal miscellaneous taxes in Shouyang City. Bao Qing was also shocked at how the former county magistrate dared to raise additional taxes, so during his three years, he
With the fire burning, the other families finally realized that the new county magistrate was not a good person.
So the juniors in the family who could support the scene spontaneously visited the Zhao family's house. After the death of the family head, they had actually experienced a wave of internal strife. After all, who doesn't want to climb up?
Meng Mo also personally received these juniors.
"Mrs. Zhao, this newcomer is different from those before."
"Yeah yeah."
Meng Mo just listened to the mixed voices, his expression unchanged: "You are thirsty, let's drink some tea first."
Simple words contain magic tricks to confuse people's hearts, and then these bewitched people drank the tea. The first thing the egg-like living creatures in the tea did after entering the human body was to hatch quickly, and after hatching
And quickly swims from the stomach pouch to the brain.
He put down the tea cup numbly, and the Zhao family's living room became quiet.
"Erhe, there's only so much I can help you with," Meng Mo said.
"Thank you, Mother Mo. I have relied on you for these decades. Without you, I wouldn't be able to get where I am today." A young male voice sounded.
"There is no need to thank me. You saved me back then, and I vowed to help you from the bottom of my heart."
"Why are you just helping me? Instead of actually marrying me? We haven't even been married to each other."
"That's enough. You should get used to this new body and don't be affected." Meng Mo said coldly, and then left.
The young man sat on the main seat, and looking at his face, it was Zhao Mengye.
Zhao Erhe looked at the juniors from various families sitting dully in other seats, and a purple-black light flashed across his face.
"Sure enough, being a mortal is subject to great shackles. If I had Mo Niang's magical skills, I wouldn't need those tactics. Fortunately, I am no longer a mortal." Zhao Erhe whispered.
Said to himself.
——
Qin Yuelou wiped his long sword. The ten days had come and it was time for him to leave. He didn't want to know what Bao Qing had done. He only needed to protect Bao Qing's safety.
And within these ten days, Bao Qing did not know how to recruit some other people, such as warriors or Qi refining monks whose cultivation was impressive.
It can be seen that the path to Baoqing is quite broad, but I don’t know whether it was hired or tricked. In short, it has nothing to do with Qin Yuelou.
During this period, Qin Yuelou could also tell whether Bao Qing was an upright official in the strict sense. He also loved money, but he got it in a wise way. He was dedicated to the people and what he did was practical.
, do practical things even if you don’t give money, and do practical things even if you give money.
This is better than being exploited casually like before.
"It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to dominate the world. Sure enough, I am still suitable for killing, but killing only treats the symptoms and not the root cause. If you kill people now, such people will still be born in the future. You can't kill them all." Qin Yue
Lou felt this and couldn't help but start thinking, how would other people handle these things?
He couldn't think of it and simply stopped thinking about it.
After all, he couldn't understand Bao Qing's methods. He could only say that those methods were quite effective.
And Bao Qing also planned to hold a farewell banquet to send Qin Yuelou off.
Qin Yuelou actually doesn’t plan to go,
So he wiped his sword and planned to leave,
With an official like Bao Qing here, it shouldn’t be a big problem.
With so many people protecting Bao Qing, this shouldn't be a big problem.
So Qin Yuelou left and came to the city gate, where he saw Zhao Mengye standing under the gate, looking at Li Kunhai who was still hanging on the city, looking even shriveled up than the previous few days.
Zhao Mengye saw Qin Yuelou, smiled, and then fell silent.
And Qin Yuelou also passed Zhao Mengye,
Only then did Zhao Mengye speak.
"Young Master Qin, are you leaving?"
"Well, we've killed all the monsters. It's time to set off to kill other monsters."
"But have you ever thought about the people who died because of you? If you kill monsters, will you continue to kill people?" Zhao Mengye pointed out.
Qin Yuelou turned around and said, "Mr. Zhao, do you mean you want to kill my heart?"
"It's not really heart-breaking, it's mainly because I just want to kill people." Zhao Mengye still smiled, but did not take action, but there were some obscure spatial fluctuations on his body.
Then, it seemed that the space was invaded by something. What invaded the current space seemed to be another space. No, it was a more secondary force, as if the shape of another space was projected into the current space.
The space is average,
Qin Yuelou, who was in a daze, saw a strange and bizarre scene in front of his eyes.
It looks like a sea of gray silt, as featureless as protoplasts.
But many, many dark spots look like heads if you look closely... Thousands of human heads bobbing in the gray sea, but even more are non-human heads... These heads are still alive, their eyes staring into the indescribable
Their lips spoke of silent sorrow, and tears fell from their sunken cheeks.
Even those horrific inhuman heads, bird-like ones, lizard-like ones, monsters made of living stone and metal, and plant creatures.
They all expressed their endless pain over the torture that happened to them.
It's like a land of great distinction, but it's a gray ocean of silt. It's hard to tell whether these heads belong to this ocean, or if they were heads taken from other creatures and placed in the ocean.
This was a brief moment of absence, as the power from the projection also wanted to forcefully pull out Qin Yuelou's head and insert it into the ocean of mud, adding another head as a collection.
During this brief period of absent-mindedness, he could not even use his sword, and he was imprisoned in this space without a trace.
Zhao Mengye's voice seemed to be heard in his ears.
"I don't know whether I should thank you or hate you. After all, you brought me to Yingzhou Island and made me half-human and half-ghost. But fortunately, Mother Mo moved my soul into Meng Ye's body, which was a blessing in disguise.
I have a young body, but it’s not my own after all.”
And Qin Yuelou also woke up from this brief trance.
Now he is enveloped in this projection space. Fortunately, it is just a projection space, and he can also distinguish what situation he is in now.
I am in an out-of-body state. My original body is still in Shouyang City, but my soul has been pulled into this projected space.
"It turns out to be Hydera." Qin Yuelou also knew which extraterritorial evil god this was.
Hydra Thousand-Faced Moon is a creature similar to a vampire, except that what it absorbs is brain marrow.
"It's really incredible, but fortunately I'm not afraid." Qin Yuelou stretched out his sword finger.
