Chapter 73: Zhang Mansion

"Okay, there's no need to say more about envy. When we meet for the first time, as my uncle, shouldn't you show something?"

Chen Pan looked at Dao Ming with a smile. This iron rooster has always been ruthless. Opportunities like this are rare now. Moreover, Dao Ming has been in Tiantiansi for so long and has a lot of good things in him.

"Ahem, you also know that, senior brother, I am a separated clone. Everything on my body is transformed by my thoughts. Let's talk about it next time we meet."

Daoming smiled dryly.

"I think you have a premeditated plan, but it doesn't matter, the Yamen is not far from my place."

Daoming's eyes widened and he stood up, "Hey, what's the matter?"

Chen Pan sneered, said nothing, reached out to grab Niu Xiaosheng's shoulders, and disappeared directly into the room with a flash of figure.

Niu Xiaosheng had no time to react. He only felt a strong wind blowing against his face, and the scene in front of him shook like a roller coaster. When he saw clearly, he was already in front of the Yamen gate.

"Huh? Young Master, you are here. Who is this?"

The yamen guard guarding the gate wiped his eyes and trotted down quickly.

"This is my master Chen Pan."

"It turns out to be Master Chen, disrespectful and disrespectful."

The yamen servant cupped his hands and bent down again.

At this moment, a figure hurriedly walked out of the Yamen. Seeing the two people outside, he had no choice but to stop and said, "Junior brother, what's the matter? Is that what's the matter with you?"

Dao Ming looked distressed, "Senior brother, after all these years, you still don't believe in me?"

"It's only after so many years that I understand you. Are you trying to run away?"

Chen Pan sneered.

"Nonsense, what you said is hurtful. It hurts senior brother's passionate heart. I came out to greet you, but you said this to me. In this case, we'd better not meet again!"

Daoming's face was full of grief and anger, and he turned around to leave, but Chen Pan held his shoulder, "Before I leave, give me the meeting gift!"

Daoming's eyes twitched, and he reluctantly took out a jade talisman from his arms, "This is -"

"Don't use this kind of thing to show your embarrassment. It will bring shame on our Dao Yi Palace. When I get together with my friends in the future, I should tell them that the disciple of the master of the Demon Subduing Hall actually took out an ordinary jade talisman to suddenly——"

"I'm afraid of you."

Dao Ming gritted his teeth and took out a small gourd and handed it over, and introduced: "This is a magic weapon that has been consecrated. Although it failed to condense the spiritual light and no weapon spirit was born, it is a little more magical. Wearing it can ward off evil spirits.

"

"Disciple, please take it. This thing is barely enough."

Chen Pan said to Niu Xiaosheng.

"Whatever is okay, it's already very good. This is a magic weapon that can be used to consecrate light. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it."

As he said that, Daoming suddenly put away his hand, "This gift is not so easy to accept. I came in a hurry this time and there was a shortage of people around me, so it was difficult for my nephew to help me run errands. I can also get some experience."

Niu Xiaosheng turned to look at Chen Pan.

"Okay, but you have to keep an eye on my disciple."

"Don't worry, I'm just running errands, there's no danger, haha."

Dao Mingpi said with a smile.

······

Three days later, Zhangjia Town outside the county.

"Uncle, how are you sure that the evil cultivator will come back to Zhang Yuan's house tonight?"

Niu Xiaosheng looked at the Zhang Mansion not far away, with blue bricks and black tiles, a door with copper nails, and vermilion paint. There was a gold-plated plaque on it with the two characters "Zhang Mansion" written on it.

In the past few days, he had been running errands with Dao Ming. Indeed, he had not encountered any danger. He also learned a lot of things, such as Dao Ming's purpose of coming here and the source of the dark energy in his fourth uncle's body.

"I checked the people who were exterminated. There seems to be no rules, but in fact they all have one thing in common. That is, among the dead people, there was a pregnant woman who was about to give birth. She died tragically and was tortured inhumanely during her lifetime. Outside the county,

Now only the Zhang family in Zhangjia Town and a pregnant woman who is expecting to give birth are left."

"That's not right. I remember that there are no pregnant women in the Yu family or the Zhao family."

Niu Xiaosheng also looked at the county files and found that among the five families whose families were wiped out, only three families had pregnant women.

"The evil cultivator deliberately killed the Yu family and the Zhao family just to confuse the situation. As for killing pregnant women and collecting their souls, they were probably refining evil weapons."

After Daoming finished speaking, he walked to the door of Zhang's mansion and knocked on the door.

"Squeak!"

The door opened a crack, and a servant stuck his head out. He looked at Dao Ming and Niu Xiaosheng warily, "Who are you? Do you have a name card?"

"I am from the Yamen, and I have something important to see Zhang Yuanwai."

Daoming took out a waistband, and in order to hide his identity from others, he changed his white robe into ordinary clothes.

"From the Yamen? Wait a minute!"

The servant did not open the door immediately and let the two people in. Instead, after going in to report, he led the two people into a side hall of the front hall.

Several maids came in with tea and snacks, and then left silently.

After a while, the setting sun sank into the Western Mountains, and the sky was filled with red clouds.

"Haha, I've kept the guest waiting for a long time. I was just dealing with the banker's affairs and wasted a lot of time. I hope you can forgive me."

A tall old man walked in from the outside with a loud laugh. He was dressed in a purple and black brocade robe trimmed with silver. There was a bit of elegance in his movements, exuding the temperament of a scholar.

"Executive member Zhang, my trip here is related to the murder case that occurred in the county during this period. According to the clues found by our Yamen, the murderer may have targeted Zhang's house."

Dao Ming said with a cold face.

"Um!"

There was a glint in the old man's eyes, but he was not too panicked, but asked: "How can I cooperate with the Yamen?"

"It's very simple. Tonight, you just need to place the child in your eldest daughter-in-law's room."

Daoming pushed the confused Niu Xiaosheng forward.

The old man frowned and looked at Dao Ming with sharp eyes, "Can you tell me the reason? This is related to my daughter-in-law's reputation, I must be cautious!"

Dao Ming shook his head, "This child can protect your daughter-in-law and the unborn baby. As for the rest, I can't comment. Five families have been wiped out. Zhang Yuanwai can take care of it himself."

The old man was silent for a while, then shouted outside, "Come here, please quickly invite the young lady over."

Soon, a potbellied woman walked into the side hall with the support of two maids.

"Yu'er, something happened in the house now. Let this child hide in your room at night."

In response to the old man's words, the woman nodded lightly and did not dare to ask any more questions.

The moon is high in the sky and the night is quiet.

Niu Xiaosheng, who had been hiding under the bed, suddenly felt a gloomy and cold breath coming from outside.

Qi and blood flowed in his body, and the small gourd on his chest gave off a burst of heat, like a burning furnace, and the gloomy aura suddenly melted away like white snow in spring.
