The sudden appearance of strange appetite made Qin Shaoyou uneasy.
He no longer had the intention to eat noodles, so he put down the bowl and turned to look at Zhu Xiucai next to him.
Zhu Xiucai didn't take it seriously at first. He was discussing past convoys and beauties with his colleagues while eating noodles.
But Qin Shaoyou's gaze was so strange that it made his heart go crazy. He had to ask: "Sir, why do you keep looking at me? Is there something wrong with me?"
"It's okay, keep eating your noodles."
Qin Shaoyou looked away and looked at Monk Ma and others.
After a while, everyone looked horrified.
Qin Shaoyou breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, it's not my problem. I didn't turn into a monster that wants to eat people."
It turned out that he was staring at everyone just now to confirm whether he really had an appetite for people.
As it turns out, that's not the case.
Regardless of whether he was looking at a few of his subordinates or looking at other people on the street, he never had the thought that "this person should be delicious."
On the contrary, watching Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others for too long also affected my appetite and I lost my appetite.
"Since it's not my problem, then there's something weird about the little lady on the carriage! Is she a monster? She opened the curtain to look at us. Is she trying to remember our appearance so she can guard against us? Or...she wants to do something to her. Shall we start?"
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou's eyes flashed with a cold light.
He felt that this matter must be clarified, so he whispered to Zhu Xiucai: "Go and find out the origin of the convoy just now and the details of everyone. Investigate it secretly and don't let them notice."
Zhu Xiucai held the noodle bowl and asked with a wicked smile: "Sir, have you fallen in love with the young lady in the carriage?"
"Just go and investigate if you are asked to do so. Where did this nonsense come from?"
Qin Shaoyou did not tell Zhu Xiucai that he checked the carriage not because he fell in love with the young lady in the carriage, but because he wanted to eat her.
Even if he said this reason, Zhu Xiucai and others would probably misunderstand the meaning of 'eat'.
"Yes, I'll check it out right now."
Seeing Qin Shaoyou's serious expression, Zhu Xiucai guessed that things might not be what he thought, so he stopped laughing and put down his bowl, walked out of the noodle stall quickly, and disappeared around the corner.
Qin Shaoyou took Monk Ma and others back to the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division.
Because he was busy all night yesterday, Qin Shaoyou asked his men to divide into two groups and take turns to rest. He continued to squat in the erotic book, waiting for the ghost in the painting to appear, and practiced Qinggong by the way.
Half an hour later, Zhu Xiucai returned to the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division and reported to Qin Shaoyou:
"Sir, that caravan from before was from the Piaoxiang Courtyard in the city, which was about to open its doors. They spent a lot of money to invite famous prostitutes from the state capital to create publicity..."
"Prostitute?"
"Yes. The beautiful young lady we saw is the top star of Chunxiang House in the state capital, and her name is Ruan Xiangxiang. The other people in the carriage are also the top names of the brothels in the state capital."
"Soft and fragrant? I can smell the fragrance, but I don't know how soft she is?"
Several strong men looked longingly.
But it’s just a longing. The consumption of brothels is very high. I want to try how fragrant and soft the first-class oiran is, and I don’t know how much money it will cost.
They absolutely cannot afford it.
Monk Ma proclaimed the Buddha's name, shook his head and sighed: "In today's world, many people can't even afford food, but there are still brothels open, and they do it with such a big fanfare..."
"That's right, aren't they afraid of losing money?" A strongman answered, "How much does it cost to hire so many famous oirans? How many sand dances is enough?"
Monk Ma looked stunned. This was not what he was sighing about.
"Don't you understand? The worse the world is, the better the brothel's business will be."
Zhu Xiucai sneered and said: "No matter whether the world is good or bad, we common people will always suffer. It is said that the wine and meat in the rich family are stinky, and the bones are frozen to death on the road. This is the truth."
Qin Shaoyou frowned and interrupted: "Don't complain about these words. If someone with a heart listens to them, you won't get any good results."
Zhu Xiucai's face changed slightly, and he said quickly: "This is what you have taught me. It is only in front of you and the brothers that I dare to complain. I will never say these things when outsiders are around."
Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly and did not continue the topic.
After pondering for a moment, he made an arrangement: "You will take people to watch Piaoxiang Tower in the past few days. If anything goes wrong, notify me as soon as possible."
"Yes." Zhu Xiucai immediately agreed, then lowered his voice and asked: "Sir, do you have doubts about the people in the motorcade? Is it Ruan Xiangxiang?"
Qin Shaoyou did not answer directly, but just said: "Start and stare. It's best if there are no questions."
"clear."
Zhu Xiucai nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He picked out two smart ones from among the powerful men, put on casual clothes with him, and went to Piaoxiang Tower to keep a watch on them.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two days, Qin Shaoyou has always been cautious and cautious, guarding against the possible revenge of demons and ghosts.
The Demon Division of Luocheng Town conducted a search throughout the city regarding the case of the Black Lotus Sect and the Ghost in the Painting.
Although several followers of the Black Lotus Sect were found, no clues about the ghost in the painting were found.
Over at Piaoxiang Courtyard, Zhu Xiucai and several strong men took turns keeping watch day and night, but the feedback came back that everything was normal.
Whether it was Ruan Xiangxiang or the other famous prostitutes in the convoy that day, they all stayed in Piaoxiang Courtyard without leaving the door or taking a step forward. There was nothing unusual about it.
As for the escort team that escorted the convoy, they left Luocheng on the same day.
In addition, Xue Qingshan, who went to Fangting County to suppress the Black Lotus Rebellion, never came back.
It wasn't that there was any accident, but after eradicating the Black Lotus Sect in Fangting County, he went to the state city and reported the details to the Qianhu Official of Yizhou Town Demon Division.
That afternoon, Qin Shaoyou was in the school grounds asking for advice on light-weight techniques from his colleagues. One of his warriors hurriedly came to him and told him that Xue Qingshan was back and wanted to see him by name.
When he saw Xue Qingshan, his brother-in-law had a travel-worn look on his face, and he had obviously just returned from a journey.
After sending away the other people in the room, Xue Qingshan asked Qin Shaoyou to sit down, and first praised:
"I just came back and heard about your achievements in the past two days. First you killed the ghost in the painting, and then you found out about the Black Lotus Sect sneaking into Luocheng to preach. It's very good! Now, no more People dare to gossip about you."
Although Qin Shaoyou inherited his father's business according to the rules, he was still young and his cultivation level was not high. After becoming a small flag official, he still caused some gossip.
It was only because of Xue Qingshan's presence that no one dared to give him eye drops or shoes.
"It's all luck."
After a few words of modesty, Qin Shaoyou said regretfully: "It's a pity that the ghost behind the scenes that drives the ghost in the painting has never been found."
"Don't worry, I will arrange for veterans to investigate this case. The monster behind the scenes can't just stop like this. As long as it dares to come out and harm people again, we will definitely be able to find it and kill it."
With this assurance from his brother-in-law, Qin Shaoyou can feel relieved to some extent.
Immediately afterwards, he took the initiative to report the matter of stalking Piaoxiangyuan.
After hearing this, Xue Qingshan asked calmly: "Do you suspect there is something wrong with the people in the team?"
"Yes, especially the oiran named Ruan Xiangxiang."
"What's the reason?"
Qin Shaoyou hesitated for a moment and said, "Intuition...does it count?"
You can't say it's appetite...
Xue Qingshan did not scold Qin Shaoyou for his nonsense, but nodded and said seriously: "Forget it!"
Because warriors have strong blood, they often have a high sense of danger and evil things.
Therefore, in the Demon Suppression Department, intuition can really be used as a reason to start an investigation.
After thinking about it, Xue Qingshan said: "I will send someone to keep an eye on Piaoxiang Courtyard later, so you don't have to worry about it."
"OK."
Qin Shaoyou is eager for a master to take action.
But what Xue Qingshan said next made him stunned.
"You put everything aside for now. I have a task for you. In Mianyuan County, children have been missing in the past few days. It is suspected that there are evil spirits at work. You can take someone to investigate."
"ah?"
Qin Shaoyou looked stunned.
What about the obscene development you promised? Why are you pushing me out? So love disappears, right?
"Brother-in-law, didn't you say you wanted me to stay with you to study before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Xue Qingshan spread his hands and said helplessly: "How did I know that you actually fell in the eyes of a noble? This time when I went to Zhoucheng to report the situation, Zuo Qianhu specially told me that you were valued by the noble, and asked me to put more burden on you. , cultivate well.”
"Noble?"
Qin Shaoyou felt very strange.
He doesn't know any noble people at all.
So, where did this noble man come from?
Do you still value him?
Do you really care? Or do you have other plans?
