"Zhao Wuzhu, the county's leader, was chasing the fugitive bandit Liang Qi a few days ago. He was ambushed and several of his brothers died. He was also injured and recuperating at home."
"But I asked Xiang Yong, the government officer on duty that day, and they didn't hear any fighting sounds. They only saw Capt. Zhao walking out alone."
"I went to visit Capt. Zhao for the first time. His injuries were not serious, but he seemed a little different from before."
"Not only has my temper become a little softer, but I don't like going out anymore. I live in seclusion and often put on makeup in front of the mirror!"
"And often shut himself in the house and talk to himself."
"Make up?" Li Yanchu frowned.
"That's right, Capt. Zhao is a tall man. He is a bloody man who can wield a mountain sword weighing more than ten kilograms, shoot a hard bow, and eat four kilograms of meat in one meal."
"But now, they lock themselves in the house, and the educated women start to apply rouge."
There was a chill in Wang Zhongshan's voice. His colleague for many years had now turned out like this.
It's really shocking.
"Who else is in Capt. Zhao's family?" Li Yanchu asked.
"Except for a few servants and maids, there is only one wife who is twenty years old." Wang Chongshan said.
His expression changed and he said, "Her wife disappeared from the day Capt. Zhao was injured. She said she went back to her parents' home."
"But the maid at home did not see Madam go out, and why would a woman not bring a servant with her when she returned to her parents' house?"
"It wasn't until Capt. Zhao's maid met me on the street and told me about it, that I sent someone to investigate secretly."
There was regret in Wang Captou's voice as he said, "I sent people to his wife's natal family to inquire, but the natal family said that her wife has not come back these days."
"We are all colleagues, and we are all police officers from the same county. There are some things that I don't want to be too public about, but I suspect that Mr. Zhao is possessed by something dirty."
"So I would like to ask Taoist Master Yan Chu to come with me to check this matter."
Li Yanchu nodded.
"If this is the case, I will go with Wang Baotou to find out what's going on."
"That's great. I didn't expect Taoist Master Yan Chu to be so warm-hearted. Wang really admires him." Wang Captou said happily.
Li Yanchu said calmly: "Wang Captou is ridiculous, I just like to meddle in other people's business."
.........
In Weicheng.
Ordinary government servants earn two taels of silver per month, while the income of a head catcher is higher, about seven or eight taels of silver.
Of course, this does not include some gray income.
The house where Zhao Wuzhu lives is a large courtyard with three entrances, located in a prosperous area of Weicheng.
However, this yard does not come from those gray incomes.
It was purchased specially for Zhao Wuzhu by the local county government in order to attract experts.
In recent years, the two major arrests have indeed made a lot of achievements in suppressing the black and white groups in Weicheng.
Wang Chongshan came here in the afternoon with Li Yanchu.
He sent someone to keep an eye on Zhao Wuzhu, spotted the space where Zhao Wuzhu was out patrolling, and came to his residence.
After passing through several lively streets, we arrived at the courtyard where Zhao Wuzhu lived.
Several government officials with swords quickly controlled the servants and maids of Zhao Wuzhu's family.
Wang Zhongshan's face was solemn.
The young and promising Taoist priest Yan Chu frowned as soon as he entered the door, which gave him, a rough warrior, a bad feeling in his heart.
"Taoist Master Yanchu, do you see any problems?" Wang Chongshan asked.
Li Yanchu had just used the Qi Watching Technique to observe the Qi in the room, and he had some guesses in his mind.
The magic recorded in "Huangting Taoist Scripture" is very sensitive to these special Qi.
Li Yanchu said: "Wang Captou, your guess is correct. Zhao Captou's yard is unclean and has a lot of negative energy, especially in the bedroom."
Wang Zhongshan's expression changed.
He then asked: "Does Taoist Master Yanchu have any idea?"
They were both members of the public sect and were arrested in the same county, but now they were possessed by something dirty, which not only made Wang Chongshan, a warrior, feel indignant.
Li Yanchu pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. There is not only Yin Qi in this courtyard, but also a faint corpse Qi."
Wang Chongshan's heart tightened and he asked: "Taoist Master Yanchu, are you saying..."
Li Yanchu said: "I'm afraid Mr. Zhao is not an ordinary ghost, but something dirty is using his body to cause trouble in the public domain."
There was a trace of sadness in Wang Zhongshan's eyes, and he sighed: "Zhao Captou is very skilled in martial arts, but I didn't expect that he would kill the evil thing."
Li Yanchu said: "Not only that, I'm afraid Capt. Zhao's wife has also been killed long ago."
He walked towards a well in the yard and looked down.
Then he turned to Wang Captou and said, "If I guessed correctly, Mrs. Zhao's body may be in the well."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Chongshan's expression suddenly changed.
He quickly ordered his servants to retrieve the body from the well.
When Li Yanchu used the Qi-gazing technique to check, he discovered something strange in the well.
However, his Taoist cultivation was not high and he was not very sure.
When Taoism improves in the future, you can even master spells such as the Sky Eye.
All demons have nowhere to hide.
After a while, two vigorous government officials with swords pulled out the body of a woman from the well.
The corpse had long been soaked and turned white, but the Zhao family's maid still recognized it.
"It's ma'am!"
She is the personal maid brought by the Zhao family's wife when she got married, and the two have always had a good relationship.
Otherwise, she would not take the risk of telling Mr. Wang about the strange things in his home.
Li Yanchu's move really impressed the government officials present.
"Taoist Master Yanchu is so young, I didn't expect him to be so wise."
"Taoist Priest Yanchu is really a man of God."
The admiration for Li Yanchu in the hearts of these sword-wielding government servants grew to a higher level.
Wang Chongshan also had a new understanding of the young Taoist priest's abilities.
For ordinary people, mysterious and unpredictable things like ghosts and monsters seem to be easily solved by Taoist Master Yanchu.
"Taoist Master Yanchu, what should we do now?" Wang Chongshan asked.
He was a high-ranking police chief in a county, and he even asked Li Yanchu about it when he was doing business, which shows how important Li Yanchu was in his heart.
Li Yanchu looked calm and said: "You don't have to wait until nightfall. At that time, the sky is dark and the yin energy is getting heavier. Now it is daytime and the yang energy is at its strongest."
"If Mr. Wang wants to take action, I can lend you a helping hand and go to arrest him immediately."
Li Yanchu's words made Wang Chongshan's eyes light up. He originally planned to deploy his men after nightfall to deal with Capt. Zhao.
I didn't expect that this young Taoist priest would be so resolute.
What a terrifying young man... Wang Chongshan nodded and said, "In that case, Wang would like to thank Taoist Master Yan Chu. Let's go now."
Li Yanchu's decision surprised Wang Zhongshan, who had been handling cases all year round. He thought that Fang Wai was a cold-blooded person.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Master Yan Chu was not only chivalrous, but also so decisive in killing.
