Suche felt that his ability to tell lies without changing his face was already perfect.
Letting Lu Bai go to Jiankang is definitely not as simple as just making money.
Money was very important to me in my previous life, but it no longer means anything to me now.
Money now is just a tool that allows you to accomplish what you want in your heart.
The important thing is to bring the Dulingsu clan's men to Tian'an County and Cizhou.
Zhu Yi did not have suitable official uniforms here, and Su Che also expressed his understanding.
With the owl kiss ring, not to mention the official uniform of the Deputy Qianhu of Li Xing, even the official uniform of the emperor can come as soon as he says it.
Su Che wrote a letter, stamped it with the seal of Qianhu, deputy director of justice and punishment, which he carried with him, and gave it to Zhu Yi to ask him to borrow someone from the Tian'an County Yamen.
The Tiqi does have clear regulations. Tiqi stationed in local areas need to hide their identities, but the rules are dead, and they were all set many years ago.
Countless people in Tianan County naturally know who the silk shop owner Zhu is, just like they know that Tongde Building is the property of Langya Wang family.
Some things and identities are destined to be hidden from others.
The government officials arrived soon, sixteen of them in total, led by a catcher. They all looked very energetic, and they were fully equipped with iron rulers, long knives, and binding ropes.
They all looked quite nervous.
Subduing demons and catching ghosts is basically no longer under the control of government officials in this world.
Originally it was none of their business.
"Ado."
Wearing a Zhu Yi cowhide belt, wearing the official uniform of Tiqi, and wearing a black gauze on his head, he still had some evil spirit that he had survived in his many years of Tiqi career. With a glance, all the government officials were awe-inspiring.
"What we are going to take this time is a corpse monster. Don't be afraid. This ineffective monster, just think of it as a stronger thief."
"You guys will follow me later, be careful, and do whatever I ask you to do. Don't do anything extra. If you do well, the county magistrate will record your merits for you, and we will also award you with rewards."
"If you don't do it well, you'll have to say something ugly in front of you. Don't blame the country's ruthless laws!"
After speaking, Zhu Yi bowed his hand to Su Che.
"Master Li Xing, do you have anything to say?"
"Just lead people to do things."
Su Che did not go to the county government office, but had already told Zhu Yi the location of the old house. This man was also a veteran among Tiqi, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.
As for those corpse demons.
Zhu Yi is right, they are all useless.
Not to mention that these government officials were well equipped with weapons, and Zhu Yi, an old tiqi, was personally holding the battle. Even a group of farmers who were pressing hard could drive them away.
Zhu Yi led the team and led the way according to Su Che's previous instructions. The captain led the government officials and followed closely behind. Although the journey was not a grand one, it also attracted countless sideways glances.
Tianan County is accustomed to singing and dancing, but the official uniforms of Tiqi are still too eye-catching on the street.
It should be right here.
Zhu Yi looked at the white walls and black tiles in front of him. He had been slacking off in the past few years. Whose family is this deep mansion?
"Who was this family before?"
"This is the old house of the Shen family in the county. Five or six years ago, the county was hit by a plague. Many people died of the disease, and all the good people in the Shen family died. The county sealed off their house."
The catcher made it very clear: "I was the one who took care of this job at that time. The coffin should always be sealed in the hall of the Shen family."
"No burial?"
Zhu Yi frowned.
Generally speaking, when the whole family is exterminated, if there is no one to bury the deceased, the government should organize the burial.
Tianan County did not take this step.
"Sir, the court has such a law, but we in Tian'an pay attention to the funeral ceremony of each person. When a person dies, his own family must be prosperous. This kind of person who wipes out the family is a disgrace to the ancestors, and they are not allowed to enter the grave. of."
Weird and strange.
Of course Zhu Yi knew the customs of Tian'an County, and he just wanted to use the arrester's words to tell the master of punishment to pick him out.
"Lao Zhu, we are here to take care of business. Don't let old scores settle."
Suche interjected.
"work."
"It's an order."
Zhu Yi held the straight knife around his waist and walked to the door of the Shen family mansion in a few steps, which had the seal of Tianan County on it.
Weathered by wind and sun, rain and frost, this seal has long been worn out of shape.
"Tiqi Cizhou Qianhu Office is in charge, open the seal."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and flicked it in the air, peeling off the seal piece by piece with a burst of energy. With a wave of palms and a blast of palm wind, the long-decayed door slowly opened with a creaking groan.
Good tree root packing.
Suche praised in his heart.
The cultivators among Tiqi are different from those cultivators from Jingyesi who came from Jianghu. They were originally transformed from the elites of Taizu Taizu of Daliang, so most of them follow the path of the martial arts lineage.
No matter how Zhu Yi is in Tian'an County, the sharpness with which he made his move just now shows that he has not forgotten the foundation of his family.
Since it is the handle of the sword in the hands of the imperial court, it is still necessary to rely on the fists to speak.
Withered vines and old trees, broken wells and ruins, the door opened, and a crow sounded. Zhu Yi unsheathed his long sword and walked slowly into this dusty mansion.
The head catcher led a group of government officials and followed closely behind.
"Do you remember where the spirit stopped?"
"It should be right there in the hall."
Zhu Yi walked around the screen wall, swept the long knife in his hand, cut away the dead grass and vines, and walked straight to the foyer.
This mansion of the Shen family can really be called a deep courtyard. The courtyard is very deep, and brick by brick, the layout of the house shows that a lot of thought was spent on it.
It's a pity that things have changed and people have changed, and in the end it was all in vain.
Zhu Yi led people into the foyer of the Shen family's mansion. The furniture and furnishings here had long been taken away, leaving only seven huge coffins propped on the ground, with four benches placed under each.
In front of the coffin was a layer of yellow paper pressed with broken bricks.
"grown ups……"
After Zhu Yi rushed into the hall, he looked at Suche hesitantly.
Suche frowned slightly.
Although there is still a hint of evil here, it is just a remnant.
If you feel good, those corpse monsters are no longer here.
"Open the coffin."
Suche slowly waved his hand, signaling the officials to retreat.
Zhu Yi swung his long sword, and his whole body whirled around like a kite. The sharp blade opened the coffin boards one by one with skill.
Click.
The old and heavy coffin opened in response, revealing the body inside.
Four men and three women were all dead, with ulcers all over their bodies. Among them were the lady and the maid whom Su Che had seen in the courtyard that day.
It's just that each corpse has been unfolded, and a long iron nail has been driven into the heart.
"grown ups?"
Zhu Yi looked at Suche.
"Lao Zhu, come and take a look."
Suche walked to the lady's body.
"In your opinion, how many years has this thing been around?"
"Reporting to your lord, I think these corpse demons have shriveled skin like zombies. They are obviously incompetent. Generally speaking, corpse demons can recover in three or four years, whether they are supplementing the essence and blood of ordinary people or absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. What he looked like before he died.”
"The Shen family was wiped out by the plague six years ago. My subordinates judge that they should have transformed into corpses not long ago."
"What do you think?"
"Dividing the corpse into pieces to calm the mind is the most commonly used method to suppress the corpse demon." Zhu Yi looked at Su Che: "Could it be that some cultivator was walking around the rivers and lakes, noticed the anomaly here, and acted righteously?"
"That makes sense."
Suche waved his hand outward to signal to the government officials.
"You retreat outside the courtyard first, seal off the surrounding area, and don't let anyone else come in. Even though the corpse demon is gone, the corpse poison is still there."
The head catcher was eager to leave this troublesome place as quickly as possible. Hearing that there was still corpse poison here, he immediately led his men and left quickly.
After all the government officials had withdrawn, Su Che used his magical power to make a move, and the iron nail stuck in the corpse demon's heart flew up in the air along with his age.
"It's such a coincidence to be a chivalrous person."
"What do you mean, sir?"
Zhu Yi didn't know what kind of medicine the Master Li Xing in front of him was selling in the gourd.
The corpse demon is dead and the matter is over.
"Look at these nails. Can you see any clues?"
The iron nails were dark and gloomy, painted with a layer of red paint, and looked ordinary.
"It's superfluous."
Suche looked at the broken body of the corpse demon.
"These wounds were all caused by people using sword energy, and the person who did it has already condensed the evil spirit of the sword."
Su Che has been practicing hard on the Abi Sword in the Prison recently, and a group of hungry ghosts and evil spirits have used it to practice his skills. His experience in the way of swordsmanship can be said to have improved by leaps and bounds. From the scars on the corpse, it was immediately determined that the person who made the move should be a swordsman, or his swordsmanship was not weak, or he had at least mastered the sword evil spirit.
"A sword cultivator who has mastered swordsmanship can kill a few unworthy corpse monsters. He has already killed a chicken with a sledgehammer. He just beheads the person and still calms down with iron nails. Could it be that these people are the thousand-year-old corpse kings?"
"Sir, are you saying that that person did this deliberately and wanted to mislead us?"
"Zombie demons are caused by the influence of the evil qi of heaven and earth, especially the filthy qi of the ground, which can easily trigger their transformation into corpses."
Suche pointed to the bench under the coffin.
"Let's not talk about Tian'an County's custom of not allowing ex-households to be buried. These coffins are hanging in the air. Where does the filthy underground air come in?"
"Someone must have arranged it deliberately." Zhu Yi looked at Su Che in surprise: "But what use can these useless corpse monsters do?"
"I was thinking about that too."
"Yellow paper."
Zhu Yi sheathed his sword.
Throwing aside the remaining bricks on the ground, he reached out to grab the yellow paper.
"careful."
Suche flicked his fingertips and shot out a sword energy.
The target was Zhu Yi's wrist. Su Che's sword energy didn't use any force, it just hit his hand numb.
Zhu Yi looked at Suche suspiciously.
"Don't take things randomly."
Suche pointed his finger and blew up a gust of wind, blowing the yellow papers into the air.
The yellow paper is swirling like the autumn wind sweeping through the fallen leaves. Judging from the material and appearance, it is no different from the yellow paper sold at the gate of the City God's Temple.
But there was only one picture, with a lifelike and ferocious bloody eye drawn on it, as if it were painted with blood and dripping red.
"This is?"
The Yin Fire of the Nine Nether Burning God flew out, wrapping the yellow talisman. In the blue flames, the bloody eye couldn't help but twitch, like a living thing.
"There should be more."
Suche looked at the yellow papers in front of the coffins.
Sure enough, someone arranged it secretly.
