Someone has said that two men and one woman is the gender combination with the most stories.
Especially when the woman is very beautiful.
The carriage flying with the flag of the hanging mirror tiger dragon flew on the official road, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was indeed a bit subtle.
Zhou Cheng looked at Xu Qingwan, then at Wei Changtian, and touched the top of his head in embarrassment.
"Well, this mission... is quite easy."
"..."
Neither of them spoke, especially Wei Changtian, who didn't know what to say at this time.
Although Kong Changgui said just now, this time it was mainly to familiarize himself with the work process and rhythm.
But three silver leaves to deal with a group of pheasants... is indeed a bit outrageous.
I'm afraid if I had gone too late, all the pheasant monsters would have been killed by the local villagers.
well……
Sighing, Wei Changtian was about to change the topic.
But Zhou Cheng suddenly remembered something at this moment, and his face suddenly became excited.
"By the way, Brother Wei, I heard about your poems on the flower boat that overwhelmed the disciples of the Poet Saint last night!"
"Huh? It spread so quickly?" Wei Changtian was a little surprised.
"That's not true."
Zhou Cheng put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "I heard what my brother said when I went out this morning."
"He likes to hang out with those sour scholars on weekdays, but this morning while eating, he kept saying 'I want clothes' and so on."
"I thought he wanted to buy new clothes, so I asked about it, and then I found out that it was Brother Wei who wrote the poem."
"I heard from him that scholars all over the capital are now spreading this poem!"
"..."
Wei Changtian said in his heart that since there is no social software these days, it is a hard work of these people to be able to spread the message so quickly.
When I think that I will soon be famous in Daning's poetry circle, I will step on the poet saints and punch the poetry immortals... I can't help but feel a little arrogant when I speak.
"Brother Zhou, it's just a poem, it's not worth mentioning."
"I can compose poetry but I can't make a living. Apart from the fact that I don't have to spend money to go shopping in Goulan in the future, there is no other benefit."
"!!!"
Zhou Cheng was fine at first, but when he heard that he didn't have to pay to visit the brothel, he was immediately envious and admired: "Brother Wei, awesome, although I am a martial artist and don't understand poetry, but I understand what it is like to make an oiran look at you.
"
He came closer and asked expectantly: "Brother Wei, what does Miss Liu Shi... feel like?"
"Hi!"
Wei Changtian waved his hand: "But Er'er, apart from being more beautiful, she is just like an ordinary woman."
"How beautiful is that? Is it as good-looking as Mr. Xu?"
"Mr. Xu Qi?"
Wei Changtian's heart skipped a beat, and his face instantly froze.
Extremely embarrassed, he turned to look at Xu Qingwan, only to see the latter looking at him calmly.
Her thin lips were slightly parted, and her tone was calm.
"Oiran? Didn't you go drinking yesterday?"
"What, I just drank wine with the oiran..."
"oh."
Xu Qingwan closed her eyes and stopped talking, while Zhou Cheng saw the two of them looking like this and didn't understand the situation for a moment.
After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and whispered again:
"Brother Wei, please tell me carefully what it feels like."
"I will definitely not be so lucky in this life. You should let me enjoy it."
"After listening to what you said, we now know what it feels like to ride that courtesan..."
Wei Changtian: "???"
…
Shanyang County is the farthest Fuguo County from the city. It is adjacent to a large mountain called "Wanglong". It is said that you can vaguely see the capital from the top of the mountain.
Wei Changtian and the others set out in the late afternoon, and it was already dusk when they arrived at the Shanyang County Yamen.
After the carriage stopped, Zhou Cheng was the first to jump off and took two deep breaths of fresh air.
The atmosphere along the way was too depressing, which made him feel depressed.
Wei Changtian looked at Xu Qingwan, who had his eyes closed across from him, and finally reminded him: "Mr. Xu Qi, we are here."
Her beautiful eyes slowly opened, Xu Qingwan glanced at him and then bent down to get out of the car, leaving only one sentence.
"You used to call me Miss Xu."
"..."
The vinegar smell is really strong.
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian was the last one to get off the carriage, while Zhou Cheng had already made a courtesy call with two Shanyang County police officers, one tall and one short.
Seeing Wei Changtian come out, he quickly introduced: "You two, this is Mr. Wei, the son of the commander of the Xuanjing Division."
"Wei, Mr. Wei?"
The smiles of the two detectives gradually disappeared. Judging from the movement of their legs, they should have knelt down to salute on the spot.
Damn, he has a bad reputation.
Wei Changtian hurriedly stepped forward, smiled and clasped his fists, saying: "You two brothers don't need to be polite, we are just doing things for the official family."
"Let's quickly talk about the case first."
"..."
The two detectives were stunned for a moment, as if they were wondering why Wei Changtian was different from the rumors.
However, they soon came to their senses and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Wei, ah, there are two adults here, please..."
"I'm going to report to the county magistrate right away. Please wait a moment..."
"..."
He's pretty good at getting things done, but do you still need to see the county magistrate to handle such a small case?
If this continues, it will probably become a publicly funded tour...
Wei Changtian was a little helpless, Zhou Cheng was secretly happy, and Xu Qingwan was indifferent.
The three of them entered the reception room of the county government and sat for a while, and then soon met the magistrate of Shanyang County.
The magistrate, who spoke with a southern accent, was more direct. As soon as he entered the door, he asked the three of them to go to dinner. Finally, at Wei Changtian's insistence, he finally agreed to discuss the case first.
"My lords, according to the villagers who reported it, these chicken demons have been around for several months, but they have never hurt anyone before. They just thought they were ordinary wild animals that had grown larger and didn't pay much attention to them."
The tall policeman who just reported the official's confession continued:
"But just a few days ago, a boy in the village was pecked blind by a chicken demon, and a man was pecked to pieces while he was napping in the field at noon. Well, that object, the local villagers realized that something was wrong...
…”
"The villagers spontaneously surrounded and killed the demon group, killing two, and the rest escaped..."
"The heads of the two dead chicken demons had demon elixirs the size of fingernails, so we speculated that the Taoist practice should be less than five years old..."
The case was reported quickly.
The situation is basically the same as what was said in the case, there is not much difference.
But Wei Changtian had a question.
"Why didn't the villagers immediately report the pheasants to the authorities when they realized they had become demons? Instead, they surrounded and killed them themselves first?"
"this……"
The tall policeman looked embarrassed, but the magistrate who was waiting aside took over and explained:
"Master Wei doesn't know something."
"Although according to the law, when you encounter a monster, you must report it to the official immediately, but in fact, if the monster is not well-behaved, most people will not report it to the official."
"Why is this?"
"It's for the demon pill."
The magistrate replied: "If you report it to the official, the demon pill you get will belong to the government. But if you don't report it and kill the monster secretly, the demon pill will be yours."
"Take the chicken demon this time as an example. Although the demon elixir is very small, it can still be exchanged for a few pieces of silver."
"Huh?" Wei Changtian asked again: "Aren't they afraid that they will fail to kill the demon and risk their lives instead?"
"Of course I will be afraid, but..."
The magistrate smiled bitterly and stopped talking, and Wei Changtian understood what he meant at this time.
Sometimes, a human life may not be worth much money.
