Niu Yuanping couldn't help but be stunned when Hong Bingzhong asked this question.
To be honest, he did not expect that Hong Bingzhong would suddenly mention the killing of monkey spirits and monsters in Tongyizhen. After all, the chapter had already been turned over.
If he didn't mention it, he would probably forget about it soon.
However, since it was mentioned, he couldn't help but think more about it.
That night, after killing all the monkey spirits and monsters, Niu Yuanping was indeed confused about one thing and couldn't figure it out.
He discovered that Zhu Yushun actually lied.
There is something concealed about the total number of monkey spirits and demons killed!
Niu Yuanping definitely knew how many monsters he had killed.
That night, he killed a total of sixteen evil monkey spirits in the Long Street of Tongyi Town.
And when he entered the house, he saw ten human skins placed around Zhu Yushun in the house!
In addition, there are three evil spirits pretending to be Su City Governor Lu Qianshan, Yachai Tian Dongchen and Guo Hongfeng.
The total number should be twenty-nine!
But Zhu Yushun said that there were twenty-eight in total.
If it was not clear that there were ten human skins scattered in the house, Zhu Yushun believed it when he said it was twenty-eight.
But with the support of the super brain system, it is absolutely impossible for Niu Yuanping to count wrong!
As long as it is seen by his eyes, the super brain system will definitely feed back the correct information.
Indeed, ten human skins!
This way.
The total number is indeed twenty-nine, not twenty-eight.
But why did Zhu Yushun lie?
This is very confusing.
Niu Yuanping, who couldn't figure out the reason, once thought that there was something wrong with Zhu Yushun and suspected that he was also pretending to be a monkey spirit demon!
However, after repeated confirmation by the Super Brain System, no possibility of this was found.
In the end, the real purpose of Zhu Yushun's lie could not be understood.
So I thought to myself, it's none of my business, why should I take the initiative to wade into this muddy water?
Based on the idea that doing more is worse than doing less, Niu Yuanping decided to turn a blind eye and let it go.
But, I didn’t expect it.
Today, Hong Bingzhong suddenly asked about this matter...
Should we tell the truth?
At this moment, Niu Yuanping began to have a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Soon, he felt something was wrong!
I had only joined the Demon Suppression Division a few days ago, and I had no friendship with these guys at all.
Why did you think of asking him such a sensitive topic tonight?
According to common sense, shouldn't we ask Zhu Yushun first?
After all, Zhu Yushun is more suitable to answer this question, whether in terms of distance or closeness of the relationship, or in terms of logical analysis and consideration.
Niu Yuanping suddenly realized that he must be cautious!
then.
Under Hong Bingzhong's gaze, his expression did not change, his eyes remained calm, and he responded calmly, "I didn't count the exact number of monkeys that I killed, because Master Zhu Yushun quickly demonized the monkey spirit." The body was put into his monster bag."
That's right.
Niu Yuanping didn't intend to answer his questions honestly, and simply put the responsibility on Zhu Yushun.
No matter what information I know, I don't intend to tell it truthfully.
This doesn't look like a good thing!
It's better not to participate as much as possible.
As for whether the evil spirits in Tongyi Town have been killed, and whether any fish have slipped through the net, it is not something he should care about.
Before the truth is figured out, the first priority is to stay alone and protect your own safety.
at this time.
Hearing this, Hong Bingzhong nodded silently.
After a long time, he continued, "I heard from Lao Zhu that you killed most of the monkey spirits and demons. So, I thought you could understand everything."
When Niu Yuanping heard this, his heart tightened and he thought to himself, "What? Are you trying to use me as a scapegoat? Or a scapegoat?..."
He couldn't help but frown.
Somehow, he gradually figured out a little bit about being suspected...
This inquiry is indeed somewhat unusual!
So, he continued to respond, "This junior was very eager to perform meritorious service, and indeed killed a lot of monkey spirits. But that day, I only focused on slaying demons and meritorious service... and didn't pay much attention to other things."
Say it.
Niu Yuanping stared at Hong Bingzhong and asked tentatively, "Isn't the case in Tongyizhen already closed? Why did you mention it suddenly again? Did some accident happen?"
Hong Bingzhong sighed, frowned, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "To tell you the truth, there was indeed an accident!..."
He stared at Niu Yuanping and said, "I have something to tell you. After you listen, don't talk nonsense."
Niu Yuanping said quickly, "Don't worry, I have a very strict mouth."
Hong Bingzhong continued, "That day...your master Zhu Yushun collected a total of twenty-eight corpses of monkey spirits and monsters, but there were twenty-nine human skins of the victims!"
Niu Yuanping's eyes flickered and he thought to himself, "I really saw it right!"
Although I already knew it in my heart.
But there was a deliberately surprised expression on his face: "Twenty-nine human skins?!... Doesn't that mean an evil spirit escaped?"
"Well!..." Hong Bingzhong nodded, "It is indeed possible!"
While quietly observing Hong Bingzhong, Niu Yuanping asked tentatively, "My master... when did he discover that a demon had escaped?"
"Lao Zhu told us when he came back from Tongyi Town that night, saying that the body of a monkey spirit Yaoxie was missing. In order not to cause panic, the news has been blocked from the outside world!"
When Niu Yuanping heard this, his heart moved.
I see!
On the night of the demon slaying, Zhu Yushun discovered that there was an extra human skin... but he insisted that he had only killed twenty-eight monkey spirits.
The reason for blocking the news was not only because they were afraid of causing panic, but also because they probably didn’t trust the disciples, including Niu Yuanping, so they were deliberately hiding it...
After figuring this out, Niu Yuanping felt relieved.
He once thought that Zhu Yushun lied and concealed the facts because he might have some problem or some other conspiracy.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm... and finally solved the doubts that had been buried in my heart since that night until now.
Zhu Yushun's city is quite deep.
Niu Yuanping couldn't help but sigh to himself, the routine is really deep.
When he doubts others, they are actually doubting him.
However.
Thinking of this, Niu Yuanping's heart suddenly tightened again.
This is wrong!
Doesn't this indicate a problem?
I have always been the subject of suspicion!
Maybe by now he has been locked into becoming a monkey spirit in human skin!
Thinking of this, Niu Yuanping looked strange.
He secretly glanced at Hong Bingzhong.
He asked, "Now that we know that an evil spirit has escaped, what should we do? The seniors should have some clues, right?"
Hong Bingzhong nodded.
"It's true that there are some clues!"
Niu Yuanping suddenly became interested when he heard this, "Oh? Have you got the trace of the escaped demon?"
At this time, Hong Bingzhong's face had begun to look solemn.
"Yes! We suspect...that there is something wrong with Lao Zhu!"
