News of the snake demon's troubles spread quickly, and everyone in the bustling Shendu City suddenly felt in danger. They closed their doors and slept with lights on. The streets were filled with soldiers holding open fires. Taoist priests and monks were also walking through the streets. Zhao Guanren and the others were
He was brought to the Yamen of Luozhou Prefecture.
"You two take a rest for a while, I will go and invite the adults..."
A petty official pointed to the duty room in the side courtyard and walked hurriedly to the backyard. This simple side courtyard was obviously where the government servants stayed. At this time, there was no one except the concierge. They all went out to catch monsters. The two of them
The man then entered the room and sat on a stool.
"Oh, we are now official bitches, serious bitches..."
Zhao Guanren subconsciously touched his belt, obviously because he was craving for cigarettes and wanted to smoke. However, after feeling empty, he opened his satchel, took out a few pieces of official silver and placed it on a long bench. He pulled out a long knife and cut off the mark on it.
, and chopped the silver bars into more than a dozen sections.
"What's the key?"
Xia Buer wondered: "Aren't bad guys very good on TV? They hunt down bandits and are called officials. They should have the same nature as government officials. How come they become bitches?"
"Official lowly! Official lowly slaves, government officials and soldiers are all official lowly. Private slaves are called private lowly..."
Zhao Guanren wrapped the silver in red paper and said: "The four despicable industries advocate excellent servants, and bad people are slaves among them. To put it bluntly, they are joint defense members. Those who have bad people in their family will not be allowed to be officials for three generations, and they will have to pay for themselves."
Living in a house without a salary, you can only live on gray income!"
"No way?"
Xia Buer was surprised and said: "The class concept in ancient times was so important. If we can't find any clues within ten days, we won't be able to go out of town in the future. Will the great monk save us or harm us? He won't be a soul killer."
Possessed by someone, right?"
"Unless they win the big prize, they won't seize the body of such a high-level person..."
Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "The soul slayer will not let us live, at least he will lock us up, but the master cannot just look at the appearance, the national master is at least a hundred years old, and he has spies in the palace to get us here
There is definitely a conspiracy!"
"Come out quickly! Meet my Lord Shaoyin..."
The junior official suddenly ran to the door and waved, and the two immediately stood up and walked out. Shaoyin of Luozhou Prefecture was just a deputy, and he hurriedly brought a large number of officials. Although Shaoyin was equivalent to the deputy governor, he was just a deputy governor.
Under the Emperor's feet, he must be a doormat.
"Yin Zhiping of Purple Gold Cave in Qingyun Mountain, pays homage to Master Shaoyin..."
Zhao Guanren was talking nonsense seriously, and Xia Buer was stunned for a moment. Isn't Yin Zhiping a Taoist priest from the Quanzhen Sect, the one who had sex with Xiao Longnu? But he could only follow and salute: "Zhang Wuji, who was born late, has seen
Lord Shaoyin!"
"Well! Yin Zhiping, Zhang Wuji..."
Master Shaoyin stepped forward and frowned and said: "The Imperial Master has sent someone to inform me. It is said that you two have no household and no registration. They sneaked into the divine capital and stole into the palace. However, because of your merits in subduing demons, I assigned bad people to you, no matter how big or small.
Please tell me the details quickly!"
"Sir! Please move inside the house. There are some things that outsiders cannot hear..."
Zhao Guanren bowed down respectfully, and Shao Yin entered the official document room with his hands behind his back. He sat down with only two close followers. Zhao Guanren immediately followed and picked up the lamp oil. Xia Buer also closed the door and stood guard at the door.
Let others eavesdrop.
"Sir! We are Taoists in the mountain. Prince Qing sent someone to ask my master to come out of the mountain. He said that Princess Ning has a very evil spirit and may be transformed into a monster, but he has no real evidence..."
Zhao Guanren stepped forward and whispered: "My master is old, so he sent three of my brothers out of the mountain to slay the demons. The prince ordered me and I to pretend to be snitches and bring them to the princess to see what was going on. My senior brother was ambushing outside the hospital.
, Otherwise, how can we enter the palace which is heavily guarded?"
"oh?"
The three officials looked at each other, and Master Shaoyin asked in surprise: "Then why did Prince Qing not invite the Baiyun Temple or the sorcerer from Bodhidharma Academy to subdue the demon? Instead, he chose the far side instead of the near. It is said that you also deliberately concealed that Princess Ning was a snake demon.
, is this possible?"
"Sir! That is Prince Ning's wife. It would be a disaster if we make a mistake, so the mages in the city of God cannot use it..."
Zhao Guanren put down the oil lamp and said: "Now Prince Qing has let the snake demon eat him, and my senior brother is chasing the snake demon, but his life and death are unknown. As a scholar in civilian clothes, how dare I say that Princess Ning is a snake demon? Besides, there is a purple-robed lady."
Sir, let out white smoke to help the snake demon escape!"
"Purple robe?"
Master Shaoyin quickly lowered his voice and asked: "Can you see clearly what the other person looks like and how old he is?"
"I couldn't see clearly in the dark, but I must be quite old and have a white beard..."
Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "My lords! Don't tell outsiders what you are saying. There is no proof right now, and the snake demons have allies to help them. Besides, if they dare to become Princess Ning, then they dare to become... huh huh~
Just think about it and you’ll know how scary it is!”
"Oh, what a disaster! What a bad time it is..."
Mr. Shao Yin patted his forehead and said: "Princess Ning was transformed by a snake demon and ate Prince Qing. Prince Ning is not an easy talker either. Now it's a lot of fun. Hey! That... Yin Zhiping, I'm here now.
You are the bad coach of Luoning County and you will take up your post immediately!"
"ah?"
Zhao Guanren said inexplicably: "Sir! Why is this? I am a beloved man who has read poetry and books. I have explained my origin and identity to you. Why do you still need me to take up a lowly career?"
"There is nothing the Imperial Master can do. Monsters are causing trouble. This is not an ordinary murder..."
Shao Yin waved his hand and said: "If Damo Academy can't tell the ugly Yinmao, how can you explain it to the Holy Master? But Damo Academy is not good at investigating cases, and Dali Temple is facing Baiyun Temple. The Imperial Master can only ask this government to assist in the investigation, and you
He is the client and the young mage, who will do this if you don’t do it?”
"Sir! We, the Zijin Cave disciples, have a duty to subdue demons and eliminate demons..."
Zhao Guanren said sternly: "However, my Li family is full of loyal people. I still hope that you can issue a certificate to prove that special things are done. Once the work is completed, I will immediately change my status and become a good person. As long as it does not affect my academic achievements, we will do our best to solve your urgent need!"
"
"Yes! I've approved it. I'll come tomorrow to get the voucher. Now I'll go check on the monster..."
Mr. Shaoyin stood up as he slapped the case, stepped forward and opened the door and called the chief clerk. After giving instructions for a while, the two of them followed the chief clerk to register and make a register.
"Sir! I'm new here. I hope you can improve my shortcomings..."
Zhao Guanren gave him a red envelope as soon as he left the moon gate. The chief clerk accepted it with a smile and said: "Commander Yin, you are too polite. There are some things that Young Master Yin cannot tell you clearly, but you must understand that our Lord Yin is
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes up the post, and the Imperial Master is His Royal Highness’s mentor, is it understandable?”
"Oh! That's it, thank you, thank you..."
Zhao Guanren nodded as if he suddenly realized something. No wonder there was a deputy chief, Shao Yin, and there was a prince on duty for a long time. The imperial preceptor and the prince were working together. He probably had no good intentions when he was saved to investigate Princess Ning.
"Come this way..."
The chief clerk led the two people into the public house. There were four counties in Luoyang. At this time, there were three bad commanders drinking tea in the house. But as soon as the chief clerk introduced them to them, the three of them looked like they had met the unlucky ones.
They looked like they were talking about something and ran away.
"A bunch of rough guys, don't pay attention to them, you can write, I said you write..."
The chief clerk took out the registration book and threw it on the table. He probably wanted to check the cultural level of the two people. He picked up a purple clay teapot and stood aside to read it. He only watched Zhao Guanren skillfully pick up the pen and ink and fill out the form without any instructions from him.
The format and wording of the document are very appropriate.
"Yeah! Not bad, this word is written in a very grand manner. It's really aggrieved for you to be called a bad handsome guy..."
The manager nodded with great satisfaction and ordered two sets of bad guy's clothes and handwritten two temporary waist cards. However, Zhao Guanren gave him thirty taels of silver, and the old guy also knew how to reciprocate the favor, so he actually split it.
An independent courtyard is used as a dormitory.
"Master Liu! See you tomorrow..."
Zhao Guanren cupped his hands and left the government office. The two of them had no horses and could only swing their legs along the street. The bad guys were all wearing black cloth and were given belts with pendant bags. Xia Buer still had two unsharpened weapons.
The iron ruler is the same as the fork used by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
"Should we go to the Yamen to report, or should we go to Prince Qing's Mansion and have a look..."
Xia Buer pulled out two short iron forks, held them in his hands and waved them a few times as if practicing. However, their county-level offices were still in Guanglifang in the west of the city, but they lived in Chengyifang in the south of the city.
The two of them only knew the way to the palace, but they didn't even know where the government office was.
"Go to hell! Princess Ning was invited to temporarily live in Prince Qing's Mansion..."
Zhao Guanren held the knife and said: "The truth can only be found in Prince Ning's Mansion. Either Prince Ning is also a monster, or there is no place to vent his anger. We can't come here to kill people. Let's eat a bowl of noodles and sleep. Tomorrow will be natural
Someone will find him!"
"There's no one on the road here. Where can I go to ask for directions..."
Xia Buyer looked around depressedly, and unknowingly came to a river. The two of them looked around, what a good guy...
A city with more than a dozen brothels would be as big as the sky, but the banks of the river here are actually full of bustling brothels and boats. There are hundreds of brothels in this place alone, but if there are monsters, there will be no business.
The women were all lying on the window sill, eating melon seeds and chatting.
"Hehe~ Now Congliangzhu has a place to be useful..."
Zhao Guanren walked onto the river embankment with a treacherous smile. When the girls saw the two bad guys fighting against the autumn wind, they all shut up and closed the windows. Even the bearer and the thugs ran away. This shows that the bad guys are really bad and the place is right.
They hate and fear.
"Brother Ren! Look ahead..."
Xia Buyer suddenly pointed to the river. Shendu City had probably been expanded several times. There was a low old city wall on both sides of the river, with closed tea stalls and noodle stalls on it, and there was a protruding horse head wall on both sides, but
There are no battlements on the wall.
"Borrow a lantern!"
Zhao Guanren stepped forward and snatched a lantern from someone else, and quickly ran to the river under the city wall. However, the river was deep and green, so the two of them looked for a long time and saw nothing. Xia Buer had to find a bamboo pennant.
He squatted on the bank and poked into the water.
"In stock! The battlements of Horse Head Wall..."
Xia Buyer's eyes suddenly lit up. In the picture Liu Tianliang had predicted, behind the snake demon was a collapsed battlement.
"Big teapot! Come here..."
Zhao Guanren turned around and called out, and a brothel boy came over slowly, but he took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to him along with his waist card.
"Master! What are you doing? This little guy's brain is not working well..."
The waiter felt that the money was hot, but Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "Don't bother me! Luoning County Government recognizes it. Use my badge to find the bad guys on duty, and tell them that the bad guys are personally appointed by the Imperial Master, and let them all come here." Assemble, there are horses and donkeys, but there are no horses and donkeys, go quickly!"
"Okay! I'm going to ride the donkey now..."
The man ran away confidently, but Xia Buer asked doubtfully: "Why did you call so many people here? Why don't you just find a few men to go and retrieve the corpses?"
"Searching for corpses? How can it be so cheap..."
Zhao Guanren said with a ferocious smile: "You can't take the credit alone, let alone let others take the credit. I want everyone in the city to know me, second son! You choose the building, and my brother will take you to eat Bawang Chicken tonight. Just order the most. The expensive oiran comes to eat..."
