The vixen Xiao Cui lay on the ground dying and said with a smile: "Eat early!" Then he said viciously, "My surname is Qian, my Weihu lineage will fight with you till death!" After saying that, it turned into a black energy, and this energy The black air floated slowly in the air, and suddenly rushed towards Qianqiu quickly.

Unable to dodge, Qianqiu was absorbed into his body by the black energy.

He suddenly felt a chill and shivered, and a power that did not belong to him began to flow throughout his body. It did not attack or disappear: "No, it's the curse of the tailed fox!"

He quickly sat down, used the power of his cultivation, and searched all over his body. He could only smile bitterly and said: "Master is not here, there is nothing we can do! It seems that if we don't look for trouble in the future, trouble will come."

Cen Rong quickly came up and asked: "Brother Qian, are you okay? What is the curse of the tail fox?"

Qianqiu closed his eyes and said: "The tailed fox is a kind of strange fox race between spiritual beasts and monsters. To put it simply, the tailed fox tribe has a strange power of curse. Once it is cursed, the victim will be cursed. Anyone who encounters tailed foxes of the same race will be sought for revenge. I thought Xiaocui was just an ordinary fox, but I didn't expect that I was careless."

"Then what should we do? Is there a way to solve it?" Cen Rong couldn't help but worry.

"It's okay. I came down from the mountain to learn from my master. I came here to subjugate the demons. I hope the evil demons can take the initiative to seek me out." Qianqiu said with relief. In fact, he already regretted it in his heart. One or two and one tail. He can still handle a two-tailed fox, but he will die if a three-tailed fox comes. Master, master, why don't you give me more self-defense weapons.

At this time, County Magistrate Li came over. He had just seen Qianqiu's ability, and he was already in admiration. He saluted respectfully and said: "Brother Qian, it was just me who was blind and argued for the monster. I am here to apologize."

When Qianqiu heard this, he thought to himself: "Although Mr. Li is lustful and confused, he can actually apologize to me as an official and a commoner at this time. It seems that he is not bad."

He continued to adjust his breath for a while, then stood up: "Master Li, it's not in your way, as long as you can catch the monster."

County Magistrate Li couldn't help but worry and continued: "Brother Qian, you just said that more than one monster is responsible for the evil. Brother Qian, please be more careful and help Cen catch the head and settle the case together with me."

Qianqiu listened to the magistrate's words, looked at Dayong who was in shock, and quietly called Magistrate Li and Cen to catch the head.

The three of them walked to the side, and Qianqiu said softly: "Dayong's daughter was eaten by a monster. Please give her some comfort first."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Li's face became solemn and he replied: "That's natural." He called the people below, gave some instructions, explained the situation to Dayong, and gave Dayong some money to handle the funeral arrangements, which was considered as doing his best. He comforted the suffering owner.

The group of people then left Dayong's house and walked slowly on the road.

Magistrate Li asked Qianqiu: "Brother Qian, I think the monster doesn't know the structure of our government office. I'm wondering how she managed to kidnap my little girl in such a short time."

Qianqiu came over and said softly: "Xiao Cui originally asked you to redeem yourself just to make it easier, but then after Cen Baotou and I went to Fang Fang Pavilion, she couldn't sit still. Xiao Cui and Fang Fang Pavilion's guy Li Si were both It's a monster. Li Si is the rat spirit. He probably went to the Yamen to capture your daughter. But now that he has been eliminated by Cen, he can be considered a threat. As for how Li Si knew where your daughter is, you Let’s ask Master Shao.”

County Magistrate Li looked at the master next to him and said in surprise: "Brother Qian, are you saying that Master Shao is also a monster?!"

Qianqiu smiled: "Master Shao is not a monster. As for why he concealed Xiaocui's registration, it depends on how you interrogate him."

County Magistrate Li understood. As long as he is not a monster, it is easy to deal with people: "Come on, tie Master Shao up and put him in jail first. I will interrogate him slowly in the future."

Master Shao on the side heard this and hurriedly knelt down: "Sir, you are wronged!"

Magistrate Li didn't listen to the explanation at all.

"Brother Qian, why don't the monsters just come and take away the people? They go to all the trouble to ask their subordinates to come in person and take away the Lord's daughter. There are also those girls from before. Their methods of committing crimes are all human. The technique is not like that of a monster." Cen Baotou asked in confusion.

"I guess I have to find the mastermind behind this and ask her personally." Qianqiu clenched his fists and said, "Sir, this is the only way for today. There is still a monster that has captured the other three girls. We haven't caught it yet. What's next? For two days, you guys were like this..."

Qianqiu told everyone again that they should not talk about what happened today and stay quiet for a few days. He called Hui Juan again, told her a few words about his next plan, and then returned to Dong Mansion to rest.

It was late at night when we returned to Dong Mansion.

Qianqiu sat alone in his room meditating. After a few days out, he did not miss a single day of practice. At this moment, the complete truth of the incident in Qingshui County gradually emerged in his mind. As the master said, there are evil demons, and humans have evil demons. There are also evil people.

While he was planning, he was studying the blade horse contract talisman deep in the cultivation pool. He vaguely felt that the contract talisman was definitely not that simple. Is it really just a talisman used to contract spiritual beasts?

Days and nights passed, day after day, for three full days.

Qianqiu has not been out of Dong's Mansion for the past three days. He has eaten and slept in his room all day long.

Late that night, Qianqiu's house window was lightly knocked, and Qianqiu immediately got up and opened the window. It turned out to be Hui Juan. She flew to Qianqiu's ear and whispered: "The fish is hooked."

Qianqiu smiled happily: "Let's go!" After saying that, he ran outside, left Dong's Mansion, crossed the river, and returned to Hu Qizhen's mud house. Turning another alley, Qianqiu walked into a house.

When I opened the door, I saw various government officials standing in the courtyard, all holding torches. Cen Rong, who was dressed in women's clothing, had one foot on an iron cage. There was a pig inside that was rushing against the cage and kept barking. When County Magistrate Li saw Qianqiu coming, he gave a thumbs up: "Brother Qianqiu is really good at knowing things. I admire him very much."

Qianqiu smiled and said modestly: "I don't dare." Then he walked over, "I have been waiting for you day and night, and finally I got you, the pig monster."

It turned out that three days ago, Qianqiu told Cen to put on women's clothes and move into a house with pigs not far from Dong's mansion. He also quietly asked other people with daughters nearby to send their daughters away for a while, and told Cen Rong to take care of her every day. He had to count the number of pigs in the pigsty and let Huijuan notify him when there was one more pig. Qianqiu had known for a long time that it was the pig demon who captured the people at the beginning, coming from the Dong Mansion, and the problem lay in the pile of pigs sent by cousin Dong Na. When the pigs were delivered, the pig demon got into them and arrived in Qingshui County ready to commit crimes.

The pig demon has low magic power and cannot last long in human form. He can only sneak into the pig pen when he comes out in the afternoon. In Hu Qizhen's home, the pig demon sneaked into the pig pen in the afternoon. The original pigs were restless when they saw the pig demon sneaking in. At night, the pig demon turned into a human and kidnapped Hu Qizhen's daughter. A few days later, the same trick was repeated and the daughter of the butcher shop owner was abducted. His house had a big pig pen, and it was normal for him to be noisy all day long. No one suspected it.

Qianqiu did not move day after day. The stupid pig demon mistakenly thought that Qianqiu had not noticed his existence. Finally, he couldn't help but found another house. When he was about to commit a crime at night, he was immediately captured by Cen Rong.

Cen Rong asked: "Brother Qian, why didn't he just attack? Isn't it easy to catch someone as a goblin?"

Qianqiu kicked the iron cage: "Stupid pig, let me ask you, what is your relationship with Xiaocui?"

The pig in the iron cage was silent.

"It's okay if you don't say anything. I'll kill you right now and I'll investigate slowly myself." Qianqiu drew a police officer's knife and said slowly.

"I said, I said, don't kill me." The pig demon was extremely timid and couldn't hold on any longer. He finally spoke, "Xiao Cui and I were sent here by our master to perform a mission."

"What mission?" Qianqiu asked again.

"To mess up Qingshui County and put the blame on the Dong Mansion. Xiaocui and I discussed that I would do the west end, and she would do the east one, and arrest a few more women, and then I would deliberately reveal my identity as a human being. Once, and then fled into the Dong Mansion in full public view. In this way, the people in the Dong Mansion will be unable to defend themselves."

"Then why did you decide on Miss Dong? It doesn't seem logical according to what you said." Chief Cen asked,

"You couldn't help it because you saw Miss Dong's good looks, and you were afraid that Xiaocui would find out, so you arrested her in the Misty Forest. That monster in the ruined temple in the middle of the night was you," Qianqiu said.

"Well, it was me. I wanted to arrest her right then and there, but I was afraid that Xiaocui would find out and I couldn't afford the consequences. So I hurried back to find her to discuss the next step, prove that I was in Qingshui County, and then prepare Pretend not to know about Miss Dong's disappearance." The pig demon said angrily.

"Where are the arrested people? Where are they?" Magistrate Li suddenly remembered.

The pig demon stopped answering, closed his mouth and remained silent.

Seeing the guilty look on the pig demon's face, Qianqiu felt extremely uncomfortable. Two lives must have been lost.

At this point, the whole thing is clear. Xiaocui and the batch of pigs that were sent came to Qingshui County almost a month ago, so the time is right. Two goblins were ordered to cause trouble in Qingshui County and blamed the Dong Mansion, so they used human behavior to commit crimes.

"So, who sent you here?" Qianqiu finally asked.

At this moment, there was a roar outside the house, which attracted everyone's attention, and then a bolt of lightning suddenly struck directly above the house, and Qianqiu hurriedly pushed everyone away. After the smoke passed, the pig demon in the iron cage was already bloody and dead.

Everyone hurriedly chased him out, but could no longer see any trace.

Qianqiu nodded silently: "It seems that this person doesn't want others to know his identity."

Cen Rong asked: "Brother Qian, didn't you just suspect that she was Dong Na's cousin?"

"The real culprit behind the scenes is full of tricks to frame the blame. I'm actually not very sure. Maybe the pig demon and the others sneaked into the team halfway, but her cousin can't get rid of the suspicion at the moment. It seems that I have to go back and ask. Other than the directors, their specific situation.”

After the aftermath was settled, Qianqiu returned to Dong Mansion.

The next day, Qianqiu explained the case clearly to the Dong family.

Director Wei thought for a while and said: "The Sun family is a famous and wealthy family in Huanghu City. Even the city owner has to respect the Sun family. The Sun family and my wife are brothers and sisters. They have always been on good terms with my family. Mr. Qian, what do you think? My cousin is suspected, is it a bit arbitrary?" He asked Qianqiu seriously, with a look on his face that clearly wanted Qianqiu to think carefully before speaking.

"Actually, I'm not sure. It's possible that monsters got in while passing by. I just put forward such an idea." Qianqiu thought for a while and said.

The whole family was silent. Only then did Qianqiu realize that he, an outsider, would not be happy to talk about other people's relatives here, but he was still being rude.

"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter. I also believe that Miss Sun will not do such evil deeds." Qianqiu stood up and clasped his fists to everyone, "I will set off tomorrow for a trip to Huanghu The city will find out the truth and will definitely restore Miss Sun's innocence. Thank you very much for your care these days."

The director hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting: "Master Qian, what are you saying? Your kindness to my family will never be forgotten by my whole family. Since you are willing to take over such troublesome things and it is a favor to my family, how can you take care of me?" Just say it. It’s just that this matter has been very hard for Master Qian!”

Qianqiu got up early the next day and wanted to leave quietly, but he didn't know that a large group of people had gathered at the door of Dong's Mansion.
