"Ten sticks, ten sticks, ten sticks that will make you paralyzed and make you pee and pee!"
After leaving the yamen, Rong Tianding's face was pale and his expression was full of panic.
He originally wanted to follow Puyun Guanmu Taoist's method of setting up an altar and make some wooden figures to fool him, but the county government actually wanted him to catch ghosts, and someone would check and verify them.
This made Rong Tianding feel less confident. He only felt that all the big wooden staffs from the Yamen would fall on his butt.
He dared to deceive ordinary villagers, but he would not dare to deceive the county government even if he had given Rong Tianding ten courages.
He didn't have any serious charges to begin with, but if he really wanted to trick the county government with a fake person, Rong Tianding felt that the probability of him being beaten was very high.
"Cousin, if you really get beaten, you can at least fulfill one of your wishes," Zhang Xuezhou comforted.
"Are there any good things?" Rong Tianding asked curiously.
"If you fight like that, I guess you won't need to go to Dongshi to kill pigs for a year and a half, and you can study hard at home with peace of mind!"
"Then I would rather kill pigs every day than get beaten like this!"
Rong Tianding shook his head repeatedly, feeling that he could not accept the life after being beaten.
"Let's go, let's kill a few pigs and then catch ghosts!"
Hearing that Rong Tianding was willing to kill the pig, Rong Li felt that nothing was difficult in the world, except for those who wanted to kill the pig. Rong Tianding finally wanted to kill the pig at this time. She just felt that if the ghost was found and beaten to death as soon as possible, everything would be harmonious and beautiful.
But Rong Li was still worried about how to kill ghosts.
She has never seen a ghost in her life.
"I'll get two buckets of pig blood and send them to Shilipo in a while so that Master Rong can use them when the time comes," Li Erlang said.
"Then you have to hurry up and avoid traveling at night in the dark," Zhu Dan said.
"I'll take two buckets of pig blood and set off," Li Erlang said.
"Then we'll take over the rest!"
After hearing Rong Li's instructions, everyone spoke up and took the initiative to do all the things needed to maintain the operation of the pig-killing stall.
"Should we go find Master Mu first?" Zhang Xuezhou suggested.
He followed behind, but he felt that they were unreliable in catching ghosts.
Judging from the fact that Rongli didn't even enter the house with the butcher's knife that night, Rongli didn't have the ability to kill ghosts.
Of course, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't catch ghosts.
It is reported that most Yin creatures like to move out at night, but he dislikes moving at night the most and cannot participate in such things.
Even Zhang Xuezhou doesn't have the ability to catch ghosts.
Professional work must be done by professional people. Zhang Xuezhou felt that it would be more reliable to ask Mu Taoist for help.
After all, this old Taoist is also a cultivator and has some abilities that ordinary people don't have.
"The old man almost choked to death from fireworks last time. I'm afraid his legs are not strong enough to walk, so he won't be able to accompany us to catch ghosts," Rong Tianding said.
"He went to Shilipo to perform rituals in the past and may know something about it. It won't be wrong if we ask him first," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"Zhou'er is right!"
Rong Li nodded.
She is reckless but not stupid.
Judging from the kindness of saving Taoist Mu before, this Taoist should not add insult to injury.
Accordingly, it might be helpful for them to ask Mu Taoist about it.
Urged by the Yamen, the group had to go back to Dongshi to kill the pigs, and then left the city in a hurry.
"Sir, there is news from the northern governor that Jinchang, under the command of the King of Huainan, has arrested criminals in Jinchang and has taken some food to satisfy their hunger along the way!"
In the yamen, Master Bao put down his pen for reviewing official documents, and then looked at Master Li who had received the Falcon message.
"So, the Shilipo incident is related to Jinchang?" Master Bao asked.
"Exactly." Master Li nodded and replied: "The governor of the northern border said that the compensation from King Huainan has been received and will be distributed to the affected areas in a few days. We need to report the relevant matters quickly so that we can accept the disaster more easily. payment!"
"Sixteen pigs and three cows were lost in Shilipo overnight. Who did Jinchang arrest? They need to eat so much food at one time?" Master Bao asked suspiciously.
"I don't know what a humble job is!"
Master Li shook his head repeatedly.
The name of the nine members of the Yin Yang family, Jinchang, is not world-famous, but it is indeed very famous. He is one of the top sorcerers under the command of the King of Huainan.
The opponent's strength is not inferior to those of the top officials of the imperial court.
Even someone like Mr. Bao who has entered the imperial official position can only hold a candle to him, let alone Master Li.
It was difficult for him to guess who this kind of person arrested and what he did.
Even if Jinchang was acting in their territory, the Huainan Palace even sent compensation, which was considered quite polite.
If the Huainan Palace didn't pay attention or even made any follow-up notification, there was nothing they could do.
This was not for the sake of the Rongcheng County Magistrate, but for the sake of General Li of the Northern Military Region, so the Huainan Palace gave him some face.
The Huainan Prince's Palace gave them face, so they naturally hoped that others would give them face.
Whatever Jinchang did in the northern border, or what he was involved in, as long as it did not endanger the northern military region, the Huainan Palace obviously hopes that the northern border will not investigate or investigate.
Master Bao's words are difficult to answer, and Master Li is also unable to answer.
He and Jinchang were like characters from two different worlds. It was impossible to guess the motives of the other's actions. It was also difficult to guess what the other had done and what people with big appetites they had arrested.
"In that case, the disappearance of livestock at Shilipo does not involve the ingestion of vaginal substances and harming people," Mr. Bao said with a frown.
"That should be the case." Master Li nodded and said, "It seems that we don't need to invite ghost-catching warlocks to go to Shilipo to investigate. This saves a lot of money!"
"Since there are no ghosts in Shilipo, why did Wang Fu'an die?"
Master Bao picked up the pen stained with ink.
When facts and speculation don't match up, a murder case clearly stands out.
"Order Li Shuang to go to Longmen Village, Shilipo, with a knife to investigate. If you find any clues, report them in time," Master Bao said.
"Here!"
Master Li agreed and quickly stepped back.
"hateful!"
Lord Bao stared at the bamboo slip for several seconds.
After a while, he wrote the word "Jinchang" under an official document, then drew a circle and made a cross.
After struggling for a long time, preparing various things to catch ghosts, Mr. Bao did not expect that it was a false alarm.
This made the things he had been busying with for the past ten days useless.
Of course he doesn't like the appearance of evil things in the territory under his jurisdiction.
But he didn't like this useless busyness even more.
"hateful!"
Master Bao said "hateful" twice.
He couldn't tell for a moment whether this abomination was aimed at Jinchang or Jinchang's master, King Huainan.
These big shots have no place for these small officials in their eyes, and they don't care whether they will be affected.
But they are the ones who end up cleaning up the mess.
Whether there are ghosts in Shilipo does not depend on what the government says and the people believe it.
This is not something he can do in a few words.
Rumors of the haunting spread widely, and people were even more panicked after Wang Fuan's death. This matter needed to be resolved as soon as possible.
Master Bao's eyes wandered, and when he focused on the person involved in solving the problem, Mu Taoist, who had dealt with the cow ghost and snake god incident in the past, he suddenly remembered that this Taoist was hit by a fire a few days ago and was almost burned to death. There is a high probability that he will not be able to do anything.
This forced him to consider Rong Tianding and others who were selling fake paintings in Chengdu.
