The news that evil spirits attacked the government office and killed many people spread out in just one morning.
Streets and alleys.
Traffickers and pawns.
Almost everyone knows that evil spirits appear in the capital.
Inside the teahouse.
There was a young man in a blue shirt talking loudly.
"Have you heard? This morning, there was a demon killing people in front of the government office. Later, he was beheaded by the prefect on the spot. This incident was extremely sensational!"
Hear the words.
Someone on the side shook his head: "This news has spread all over the place a long time ago, and there are a few people who don't know about it."
"It's just strange. I've never heard of evil spirits causing chaos in the capital, let alone attacking government offices."
When talking about this matter, many people looked confused.
at the same time.
There is deep fear on everyone's face.
Evil spirits come and go without a trace.
If the other party can kill someone in front of the government office, it is possible to kill other people present.
Originally they thought the capital was safe, but now it seems that the capital is not very safe either.
The young man in blue shirt shook his head: "I heard that there were no evil spirits causing trouble in the capital in the past, because the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty was suppressing it. Now that the national destiny is low, there is no way to deter the evil spirits.
The evil spirit that attacked the government office today is definitely not the only one.
It won’t be long before the capital of the country will also be ravaged by evil spirits.”
A few words.
Everyone in the teahouse changed their expressions.
"Impossible, there is a Demon Suppression Department in the capital, how can the demons be so arrogant!"
"Forget about the Demon Suppression Division, there are quite a few defenders in the capital now, so the evil spirits should not be able to run rampant."
"The talk of national destiny is purely imaginary."
In the face of public opposition.
The young man in blue shirt sneered: "Don't believe it, just wait and see, even if the Demon Suppressor is here, it won't have any big effect. If it is really effective, how come there are evil spirits attacking the government office this morning.
I heard that the people who died at the hands of evil spirits were so miserable!"
Just at this time.
A group of black-clad guards walked into the teahouse. The leader looked at the young man in blue shirt who was talking loudly and waved his hand: "Arrest him!"
The words fell.
A group of black-clad guards came forward and detained the young man in blue shirts in full view of everyone.
"Let go, let me go, I am a member of Qingyun Academy, how dare you be rude to me!"
The young man in blue shirt resisted vigorously, his face red as he struggled.
But each of the black-clad armored guards was very powerful. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.
The leader sneered: "Spread rumors and disturb people's hearts. Even Qingyun Academy can't protect you. Take you away!"
Suddenly.
Those black-clad guards just suppressed the young men in blue shirts and went out.
The leader stood around, and the people who were talking to each other all closed their mouths at this time. After noticing the other person's gaze, they all looked away, for fear that the black-clad armored guards would also capture them.
See this.
He nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "The capital has its own demon-suppressing department and will not allow evil spirits to cause trouble. The evil evil this morning was just an accident, but that evil was also killed by the prefect.
You don't have to worry too much, just do your own thing.
In addition, if anyone dares to spread rumors indiscriminately and attempt to cause panic, they must go to jail. If it is serious, the head that falls on the streets of the vegetable market at noon tomorrow may be your own."
A warning was given.
The leader turned and left.
After he left, everyone in the teahouse breathed a sigh of relief, but no one really relaxed.
The words I just said are still lingering in my ears now.
At this point.
No one dares to talk about evil things anymore.
The young man in blue shirt who was just captured is an example.
As a member of Qingyun Academy, the other party took him away as soon as he said he would, so as for the others, the end will definitely be even worse.
Qingyun Academy.
It is the most famous academy in the capital, and every student in it is more or less famous.
not only that.
There are also great Confucians from the Imperial College in Qingyun Academy.
Ordinary people would not dare to offend the people of Qingyun Academy easily.
But.
Now a student from Qingyun Academy was forcibly taken away without saying a word. Everyone could see that the court was not joking this time.
Similar to what happened in the teahouse, it happened in other places in the capital.
Anyone who spreads rumors will be directly taken away by black-clad guards. Anyone who dares to resist will either be severely injured on the spot and taken away, or they will be killed on the spot.
Less than two hours.
The capital, which was originally in turmoil, suddenly fell silent.
In Qingyun Academy, the original peace was broken.
"Teacher, something serious is going wrong!"
A young man looked panicked.
See this.
Chen Shu looked unhappy and scolded him sternly: "How inappropriate is it to yell and scream in the academy? Do you not know the rules?"
"Disciple knows his mistake!"
The young man was scolded, and the panic on his face suddenly subsided a lot.
Chen Shu nodded with satisfaction, then stroked his beard and asked, "Tell me, what happened to make you so panicked?"
"Teacher, Liu Ye, Liu Ye was captured by the city guards!"
"Why?"
"The City Guards said that Liu Ye spread rumors and caused panic among the people in the city. He is now imprisoned in a prison and we don't know what will happen next!"
The young man finished speaking in one breath.
Spread rumors!
Put in jail!
Chen Shu frowned.
"There was an evil attack on the government office this morning. For this reason, His Majesty specially ordered that no one should be allowed to cause panic. As a student of Qingyun Academy, he, Liu Ye, is not aware of the consequences of talking nonsense.
It’s really shameful that you dare to talk nonsense at this time!”
When talking.
This great scholar from Qingyun Academy also had an angry look on his face.
The young man lowered his head and bowed in salute: "Please ask the teacher to help me. As a member of our Qingyun Academy, Liu Ye should be disciplined by our Qingyun Academy even if he makes any mistakes. However, the city guards directly put him in jail."
.
With Liu Ye's weak body, I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the hardships in the cell, and when the time comes, I'm afraid someone will be killed!"
"No need to say any more."
Chen Shu raised his hand to interrupt him.
"As a member of Qingyun Academy, he should know what he can say and what he cannot say. Any nonsense will eventually harm himself. It would be good for him to receive some lessons in prison. At least it can make him sober up.
Otherwise, if he acts recklessly in the future, it may bring disaster to the entire academy."
"teacher"
"No need to say any more, just step back!"
Chen Shu waved his hand to chase people away.
The young man opened his mouth, but finally said nothing and bowed and retreated.
Wait until he leaves.
Chen Shu walked out of the pavilion and looked at the clear sky, but his face was a little sad.
"The evil disaster is becoming more and more serious. There are even evil spirits appearing in the capital of the country. I am afraid it will be even more difficult for other places!"
"We, the scholars, have cultivated great righteousness, and we should drive away evil spirits and protect all people!"
When talking to oneself.
A surge of awe-inspiring righteousness surged from his body.
In an instant.
It seems to have changed the color of the situation a little.
Someone looked up with some feeling, but saw nothing at all, and immediately withdrew his gaze again.
Outside the capital.
A group of government officials, holding swords and riding horses, ran towards Fengyun Village.
in.
There were also people from the Demon Suppression Division accompanying him.
"How far is it from Fengyun Village now?"
"Lord Qi, we will arrive at Fengyun Village in about a quarter of an hour!"
A man dressed as a headhunter said in a deep voice.
Hear the words.
Jiang Zuo nodded.
As the steward of the Yellow Department's Demon Slayer Academy, he normally stays in the Demon Suppression Division to handle some internal affairs unless necessary.
But now a large number of strong men from the Demon-Suppressing Division have been dispatched, leaving almost no masters left.
As for those below Grandmaster, they are the strongest based on their own strength.
In addition, the evil spirits that attacked the government office were at the grudge level. According to judgment, there may be even more powerful evil spirits in Fengyun Village.
Just to be on the safe side.
Jiang Zuo, the manager of the Huangbu Demon Slayer Academy, was naturally sent out.
"Trouble!"
Thinking of this mission, he secretly sighed in his heart.
trouble.
Big trouble.
There are evil spirits pretending to be villagers from Fengyun Village and going to the capital to attack the government office. It is obvious that they are death squads from the evil side.
After all, letting a grudge-level monster attack the government office is not suicide.
The capital of the country is filled with powerful people.
Not to mention the resentment-level monsters, even ordinary monsters will die if they enter.
Under such circumstances.
It is easy to understand the identity of the evil spirit that attacked the government office.
same.
As the trigger of this incident, even if Fengyun Village had no problem at all, Jiang Zuo wouldn't believe it.
He was doubtful.
All the people in Fengyun Village must have died in the hands of Yaoxie, and the Yaoxie who killed the villagers is waiting for their arrival in Fengyun Village.
For this.
Jiang Zuo has no 100% evidence.
But he has been in the Demon Suppression Division for many years, and he already knows it well.
but.
Guesses are just guesses after all. They have not really determined whether the people in Fengyun Village are alive or dead, so they must go and take a look.
No matter what.
The people in Fengyun Village are all common people of Da Qin.
Since we are the common people of Qin.
Then it is impossible for the court to ignore it.
When he was about to approach Fengyun Village, Jiang Zuo suddenly spoke.
"Wait a minute!"
The words fell.
Everyone tightened their reins and stopped immediately.
The leader of the catchers looked sideways at Jiang Zuo with a puzzled look on his face: "Master Jiang, what happened?"
Looking at the confused faces of everyone.
Jiang Zuo's face was calm: "Some evil spirits pretended to be people from Fengyun Village and went to the government office. I suspect that the people in Fengyun Village may have been poisoned. If this is true, then there will be two consequences for us going to Fengyun Village.
One is that the evil spirits have left, and the other is that there are more powerful evil spirits waiting for us there.
So everyone, be prepared. If there is really a powerful evil spirit, all those below the realm of Tongmai will be the first to retreat and report back, and the rest will be left to Jiang and others."
He was not sure whether there were powerful demons in Fengyun Village.
But talking about it in advance can also prevent problems before they happen.
