Several large courtyards with three entrances are connected to one. Among them is a loft, and watchmen wearing black clothes and tied with gongs come and go, with serious expressions.
Different from the majestic Xuanjingsi Chief Rudder, which stretches for miles, the Watchman's Yamen is much smaller in comparison.
After all, the latter does not have as many functions as the former, and its number and scale are naturally slightly smaller.
But the couplets engraved on the two couplets of the gate are quite impressive——
The evil will be eradicated, and the sound will illuminate the night.
Tsk tsk tsk, look at this person.
Recalling the words in front of the Xuanjing Division, "It is not my wish to kill Yingcao, I only serve the emperor for this reason." Wei Changtian suddenly felt that the levels of these two "secret service agencies" were different.
One is to rid the world of evil, and the other is to consolidate imperial power.
It is obvious that the original intention when the Xuanjing Department was established was not as "noble" as others.
However, since the Xuanjing Division has basically lost its role in "defending the imperial power" and has completely become the private power of the Wei family, this sentence has become a decoration.
I sighed a few words secretly in my heart, and moved my eyes to the people standing in front of the black door.
Before Wei Changtian could speak, the leader took a step forward and introduced himself:
"Wei Gongzi, the villain Pei Dajun, is the watchman and commander."
"Young Master is willing to help us surrender to Yama. I am here to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the tens of millions of people in Fengyuan."
"..."
The commanding officer is the second-in-command on duty.
Wei Changtian nodded and responded with a smile:
"Master Pei, don't thank me in a hurry. Now let's discuss how to kill that monster."
"Yes, Mr. Wei, Your Highness the Princess, please come inside."
Pei Dajun stepped aside to give way, and at the same time cupped his hand at Li Wutong, who was expressionless.
However, the latter turned a blind eye to this and kept a livid face, as if someone owed her money and had not paid it back.
"Well......"
Seeing Li Wutong's reaction, Pei Dajun felt a little embarrassed for a while.
He adjusted his mood and was about to give Wei Changtian a brief introduction to the basic situation of the watchman, but Li Wutong suddenly spoke at this moment:
"Master Wei, how does my Dafeng watchman compare with your Daning Xuanjing Division?"
"There's nothing to compare it to."
Wei Changtian didn't even look at Li Wutong.
"Hmph! I'm afraid I don't dare to compare..."
Li Wutong saw that Wei Changtian didn't take the bait, so he whispered a compliment and then bit his lip and stopped talking.
Everyone including Pei Dajun didn't know what to say when they saw their appearance, and at the same time they became more and more confused.
Huh? Why is Mr. Wei so indifferent to His Highness the Princess?
Could it be possible that the two of them were not flirting before, but that they really had some quarrel?
Or...what is that word called?
Someone frowned and meditated for a long time, and then suddenly their eyes lit up, as if they finally saw through the relationship between Wei Changtian and Li Wutong.
Happy enemies!
That’s right! Just like being an enemy!
...
Half an hour later.
Although Wei Changtian promised to kill the monster named Yama, it was not that easy to do.
First of all, how to enable Wei Changtian to face this demon directly is a problem.
Based on previous experience, the time, place, and target of this thing's crime are completely random, so it is undoubtedly unrealistic to wait and see, and the only way is to lure it out in some way.
The watchman has formulated a complete plan for this.
Basically, the boys and girls in Fengyuan City were gathered into a small area as much as possible, and then countless secret sentries were set up in this area to monitor the disturbances there at all times.
In this way, whenever the monster starts killing people, the watchman will be able to detect it immediately and notify Wei Changtian, who is also ambushing nearby, immediately, who will then take action to kill the monster.
The whole plan sounds very simple, and it would be difficult for any human being to fall into this trap.
But the good thing is that this monster seems to have no IQ, let alone the ability to "counter-reconnaissance".
Sixty years ago, the watchman successfully used this method to lure monsters to appear, and now I think it should also work.
"..."
"Master Wei, that's basically it."
"I have already arranged this matter. In about ten days, all the remaining children in the city will be gathered near the princess's mansion, and our people will also set up a dragnet around them."
"Before this, the young master can still walk around in Fengyuan City, but after everything is arranged, I hope that the young master will go out as little as possible."
"After all, although this monster has no human intelligence, the matter is of great importance. It is best to succeed at once."
After Pei Dajun finished describing the plan, he finally had time to take a sip of tea.
Wei Changtian had been listening very carefully, so he didn't have many questions at the moment.
To put it bluntly, it is a trap set with "food" as bait.
Gather all the children in the city together. If the monster wants to eat people, it can only appear near the princess's house, and then you will have the opportunity to arrive in time and kill the monster.
"Master Pei, I understand the plan."
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment, then frowned: "But what if this monster just doesn't show up?"
"Mr. Wei, you can rest assured on this."
Pei Dajun replied in a deep voice: "Whether it was the time in Jingning Mansion or the time in Huailing Mansion, as long as there are children under six years old in the city, this monster will definitely appear and commit crimes."
"Oh, that's good."
Wei Changtian asked thoughtfully: "Also, isn't it said that this monster can turn into a virtual body? In this way, even if it is discovered, wouldn't it still be very easy for it to escape?"
"This is indeed a bit troublesome, but it takes about a hundred breaths of effort to transform from real to virtual, and even after it turns into a virtual body, it does not just come and go without a trace."
Pei Dajun replied: "As long as the young master can go to the scene of the incident as soon as possible after receiving the signal, there is a high probability that he will be able to make it in time."
"Understood."
Wei Changtian nodded and asked the last question: "Master Pei, nothing can be guaranteed. What if we fail to kill this monster in the end?"
"this......"
Pei Dajun looked at each other and replied with a wry smile: "Master Wei, to be honest, if we fail to kill this monster before June 15th, then nearly ten million people in Fengyuan will start to commit suicide one after another.
Evacuate the city."
Have you set aside a month to avoid risks?
"understood."
Wei Changtian understood in his heart, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
Pei Dajun on the other side also confirmed again:
"Mr. Wei, do you have anything else to ask?"
"No more for now...that's right."
Wei Changtian suddenly coughed dryly and asked with a strange expression: "Ahem, Mr. Pei, is there one of you on duty called Xu Qian?"
"Xu Qian?"
Pei Dajun didn't know why Wei Changtian asked this suddenly. After being stunned for a moment, he answered truthfully: "There is no such person."
"oh."
Wei Changtian breathed a long sigh of relief and asked again: "What about Bai Youheng?"
