The city guard general Wang Hu respectfully handed the token to Bai Duo with a flattering look on his face.
This is a small county town, and even the county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official.
Bai Duo's chief arrester in a city was already at level six, and Lu Chenzhou was only one level lower than the prefect.
In fact, when he reaches this official position, he is already at the level of a local bully, which is as high as the emperor. How can there be so many first-class officials in the world?
Those at level three and up are all in the capital.
In charge of the security of a city, Bai Duo's status is indeed not low, and he deserves this treatment.
"It's not really a visit. I'm just passing by here and want to rest for a night." Bai Duo changed the subject without being too salty, "I also took the opportunity to inspect the public security situation in Qingyang County."
"Ahem!"
Wang Hu nearly choked on his saliva when he said this sentence about inspecting public security. He immediately smoothed things over and said, "That's for sure. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, the public security will be messed up!"
Bai Duo originally said it casually, with the purpose of giving Wang Hu a tight skin, and did not really want to cause trouble.
But his reaction was decidedly unusual.
"Step aside!"
Bai Duo sensed something was wrong and immediately pushed him away and strode into the city gate.
In the county town, there are many shops such as inns, restaurants, and tea shops on both sides of the streets paved with bluestone bricks. There are also willow trees planted along the road, their branches swaying in the moonlight.
It was originally a beautiful scene of people living and working in peace and contentment.
But was interrupted by waves of soul-calling sounds.
White paper money was scattered on the street, and the ashes of the brazier were blown away by the wind.
Everyone had no intention of admiring the weak willows, because against this scene, the rows of willow trees looked like a woman's hair hanging upside down, looking very gloomy.
"How is this going?"
Bai Duo pointed to the mourning hall set up by a family and said: "Only those who died violently use black coffins to suppress evil spirits, and they must keep vigil at night to call for their souls.
There are two purposes. The purpose of keeping the spirit is to prevent other evil spirits from occupying the body of the deceased, so it must be guarded with the yang energy of living people.
Calling the soul is because the soul of the person who died unexpectedly will be resentful, so it will not return to the underworld and wander around.
That’s why I let the voice of my loved ones call me back and quickly go to reincarnation.
Wang Hu, what on earth is going on? Don't try to frame me! "
Bai Duo's aura suddenly became fierce. Unexpectedly, Wang Hu was also a stubborn person, and he glanced towards the center of Qingyang County with a vague look in his eyes.
That's where the county magistrate's office is.
There is a high probability that something strange has happened in this county, and the county magistrate is unable to solve it, and it is approaching the time of yearly review of political performance.
That’s why I sealed the mouths of the people below and stopped talking nonsense.
"Okay! I can't mobilize you guys who are defending the city, okay! I can definitely mobilize those people from the six gates!"
Bai Duo fired the arrow, and the rising fireworks rushed into the air and exploded.
Not long after, everyone felt the bluestone beneath their feet shaking slightly. At the end of the street, a group of horse-riding policemen with knives rushed towards them.
"Qingyang Branch Liu Zhongyong has met your Excellency!"
A man with a capable figure, stern eyes, and a somewhat sinister appearance immediately dismounted from his horse and half-knelt towards Bai Duo.
Although he has never actually met Bai Duo, Liumen always obeys orders but does not recognize people.
"What's going on with that family that's keeping vigil?"
Bai Duo didn't do any ink and went straight to the point.
Liu Zhongyong glanced at Wang Hu, who was winking at him crazily, and sneered: "What? Are Commander Wang's eyes uncomfortable?"
"You bastard! How dare you, a small town policeman, to trick me! What kind of official position do you have!"
Wang Hu was furious.
But he immediately stopped because Bai Duo was looking at him with those dead eyes.
"Commander Wang, the greater your official position, the more you have to do practical things for the people. Look at how you just looked. You usually beat and scold the brothers in our branch, right?"
"Don't dare!"
Wang Hu was so frightened that he shrank his neck and immediately stepped aside, not daring to speak.
"Sir, the eldest daughter of this family died. The cause of death was strange."
Liu Zhongyong thought about the file carefully and frowned. Obviously, this matter was also very unbelievable to him.
Bai Duo did not speak immediately, but turned to look at the people in the Qian Mansion behind him and said, "Everyone, it's getting late, why don't you go and rest first."
"Brother Bai, is it... a black disaster?" Qian Xiaoyan's face turned pale. It was obviously summer, but she suddenly felt that the surroundings were extremely cold.
She also knew that this was a psychological effect, but the tiger incident really brought a huge shadow to her.
As long as there is anything related to monsters and monsters, she can't help being timid.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter whether it's a black disaster or a white disaster."
The corners of Bai Duo's mouth curved. Black disasters are actually cases caused by strange forces and chaos, while white disasters are man-made.
"Black trouble? There is a ghost! You, you, you, you mean there is a ghost in this place?!"
After all, Qian Chenglong is also a young master of Qian Miao's lineage. He still has a good vision and knows that his family often helps Yujing Headquarters deal with ghost troubles.
It's just that he hasn't experienced it personally.
All I know is that few of the people who come face to face with ghosts come back alive.
Even if the body is pulled back, it will be in a miserable state of death.
"How unbecoming! You are one of the candidates for Young Master after all!" Qian Hong's face was full of black lines. Now both Young Master candidates have obvious resistance to black troubles. How will they lead the family forward in the future?
Only Qian Chuan was normal, but his face was solemn.
Qian Heting's face looked the same, but he was a commoner after all. He couldn't leave such a large family to a commoner, right?
So many direct lineages are dead?
You must know that Qian Chenglong is not the only direct descendant. Qian Xiaoyan and Qian Chuan are just the top three in the competition.
There must be at least twenty direct descendants behind them.
The force can be improved, but the bloodline of the direct and concubine cannot be changed, so no matter how outstanding Qian Heting is.
He won't be able to take the position of young master.
"Damn it, Bai Duo, you can handle this matter yourself! That guy Zhou Shinian is going to find trouble with the Black Turtle Gang. We can still help, but this won't work!"
Facing Qian Chenglong's words, Bai Duo only felt noisy, and he said impatiently: "I didn't expect you at all.
Now there is a case to be handled at the six gates, and everyone is waiting to avoid it! "
"you!"
Qian Chenglong was irritated by Bai Duo's cocky attitude, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he took his entourage and found an inn and stayed in it directly.
"Brother Bai, although I often hear uncles who are bodyguards talking about ghost troubles, I have never seen it with my own eyes.
What are they like? It is said that ghosts are the products of death.
But now that it is dead, will it still be killed? "
Zhou Shinian still looked like a hot-blooded and angry young man. He didn't seem to have learned the lesson just now. After obtaining the Flying Dragon Cloud Detector and the Sin-Breaking Sword, his whole person became extremely swollen.
"Ghosts and monsters are incomparable to living humans. Your Judgment of Sins can kill Ning Gang, but it cannot kill ghosts. Because their killing rules are elusive and their body shapes are unpredictable. No matter how good the Qinggong warrior is, they cannot compare with them.
You'd better go to the inn with the large army to rest.
To be honest, if it wasn't my responsibility, I wouldn't want to deal with this kind of thing. "
