Shan Daonian responded with a yes, and immediately left the Dragon King Temple with a few night watchmen to look for the coffin in Shuanggui Village.
What Qin Shaoyou didn't expect was that they quickly found a good coffin. Both the material and workmanship were of the best quality.
This efficiency of work shocked Qin Shaoyou, and asked them quickly: "Where did you get this coffin? Is there a coffin shop in Shuanggui Village?"
Shan Daonian shook his head and said, "Sir, this coffin was not bought from a coffin shop. It was prepared by an old man in the village for himself."
"Since the old man in the village prepared it for himself, how could he be willing to sell it?"
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly, thinking to himself that the miracle doctor and his gang were using some means to rob, right?
Shan Daonian explained: "Don't worry, sir, we paid enough to buy this coffin, and there is absolutely no need to force it. The old man who prepared this coffin for himself disappeared a few months ago, and his The family members unanimously felt that it was this coffin that killed the old man. If the coffin had not been expensive to make, they would have thrown it away and destroyed it long ago. When they heard that we were looking for a coffin, they took the initiative to come to the door and take the coffin. The coffin was sold to us."
"So that's it." Qin Shaoyou nodded. Since the miracle doctor and the others were not taking advantage of him by chance, he was relieved.
As for the missing old man, it was most likely that Xu Fangjun dragged him to the underground cave.
Either he was turned into a zombie, or he was sacrificed to the Fuso Ghost Tree or eaten by the Corpse King.
But there is one thing Qin Shaoyou can't understand: Why did Xu Fangjun arrest the old man?
The old man is already old, and both his blood and vitality have been exhausted. What is the use of arresting such a person?
Shan Daonian saw Qin Shaoyou's suspicion and said, "Sir, according to inquiries from my subordinates, I learned that the old man is a village elder here."
It turns out he is a village elder, which makes sense.
Generally speaking, village elders are old and virtuous people.
These people are indeed not as good as young adults and children in terms of vitality and vitality, but they are often highly virtuous and highly respected, and this is also a kind of energy.
Presumably, Xu Fangjun, the corpse-raising demon, must have mastered some kind of secret technique, which can transform wishes such as virtue and popularity into the Corpse King and Fuso Ghost Tree to absorb them.
Qin Shaoyou sighed softly for the victimized village elder, and then ordered Shan Daonian to put the sacrificed brother into the coffin. He also called Cui Youyou and solemnly warned:
"Senior Brother Cui, when daybreak, you will lead a few people to escort this brother's coffin back to his hometown and hand it over to his relatives."
The reason why this task was given to Cui Yougui was because this night watchman was under Cui Yougui, and he should be the one to carry the coffin back to his hometown.
And for Cui Yougui, this was also a worldly experience.
Cui Youyou knew this very well, so naturally he would not refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou took out some gold and silver from his arms and handed it to Cui Youying's hands.
"The money that this brother accumulated during his lifetime should have been placed in the Yao Suppression Division. When you send him back to his hometown, go back to the Mianyuan County Yao Suppression Division first, withdraw his savings, and give them to his relatives. Send it. As for these gold and silver, they are pensions given to his relatives by our Mianyuan County Town Demon Division."
Seeing this, Xue Qingshan on the side also asked someone to take some money and give it to Cui Yougui.
Cui Youyou took the money and suddenly felt very heavy.
It's not that there is a lot of money, but he feels that these coins were obtained by the lives of his brothers, and he cannot lose them under any circumstances, otherwise he will not be able to explain to his dead brothers.
In a blink of an eye it was dawn.
Cui Youyou led a few attentive men, loaded a carriage with the coffin containing the body of the sacrificed brother, said goodbye to Qin Shaoyou and others, and left Shuanggui Village.
Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan did not leave.
Because Zuo Qianhu sent Cen Biqing up to convey a new order to them, asking them to stay in Shuanggui Village until the local civil affairs officials arrived, and then assisted the civil affairs officials in moving the villagers of Shuanggui Village collectively to other places.
There is a ghost hibiscus tree under the ground in Shuanggui Village. Whether it is for safety or confidentiality reasons, the residents here must be relocated.
The civil affairs officer came soon, and it was none other than the new magistrate of Mianyuan County, Qin Shaoyou's fifth brother-in-law, An Mutong.
Of course, An Mutong didn't come alone, he also brought a group of government servants and officials.
After An Mutong arrived at Shuanggui Village, he first looked for the village elders, but all of them 'disappeared'.
He had no choice but to ask the government servants and officials to notify each household immediately, asking them to pack up their belongings and prepare to move out.
Fortunately, the villagers here in Shuanggui Village are also full of fear of this place after experiencing being parasitized by the Three Corpse Insect Gu and almost turning into a living zombie monster.
Although it is difficult to leave homeland, it is not that difficult compared to losing one's life and becoming a monster.
In addition, this kind of village relocation is a mandatory rule of the government. It is useless for them to resist and they can only obey honestly.
An Mutong was so busy that he finally made arrangements for the village relocation, and then he took some time out to come find Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan.
As soon as they met, he asked curiously: "What exactly did you find here? Why do you want all the villagers here to move away?"
Xue Qingshan shook his head: "Don't ask, we can't tell you even if you ask."
An Mutong turned his attention to Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou said: "It's true that we can't say, and we don't know much about the situation. Now this case has been fully taken over by the State Town Demon Division."
As soon as An Mutong heard this, he knew that the case was not simple, and he immediately sighed and said: "Okay, I won't ask anymore. Hey, I have encountered several difficult problems in a row since I took office. As a county magistrate, I have nothing to do. It’s too difficult!”
It has to be said that An Mutong's luck is indeed not very good.
As soon as he arrived, he faced a bizarre drought.
Even though the Corpse King is now eliminated and the drought will gradually ease, it still involves many disaster relief and civilian affairs, enough to give him a headache.
What's more, now there is another relocated village.
Although the villagers of Shuanggui Village are relatively cooperative now, Anmin's children are also in a lot of trouble after moving to the village.
If it is not handled well, it will easily arouse public resentment and anger.
Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan expressed deep sympathy for An Mutong.
But they were all from the Demon Suppression Department, and they couldn't help An Mutong much in matters of civil affairs.
But An Mutong was capable after all, and it only took one day to relocate all the villagers in Shuanggui Village.
A few days later, reinforcements from the Yaosi Division of Zhouzhen arrived and brought a group of soldiers, who directly built Shuanggui Village into a military camp.
At least in the eyes of outsiders, Shuanggui Village has become a military camp.
Therefore, it is natural that the place should be tightly guarded and no one is allowed to approach, so as not to arouse suspicion from others.
Of course, those protective umbrellas behind the Corpse King will definitely know about this from various channels.
Zuo Qianhu also wished they knew and then took the initiative...
However, these matters have nothing to do with Qin Shaoyou and the others for the time being.
After the reinforcements from the Zhouzhen Yaosi Division arrived, Qin Shaoyou, Xue Qingshan and others ended their respective missions.
Xue Qingshan led the team back to Luocheng that day.
Before leaving, he grabbed Qin Shaoyou and told him very seriously: "Just keep some suspicions in your heart, and don't tell others. After returning to Luocheng, I will help you pay attention to things that interest you. , I’ll let you know when I have news.”
Qin Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, then solemnly handed over his hand to thank him.
After sending Xue Qingshan away, Qin Shaoyou also called to Monk Ma, Shan Daonian, and Zhu Xiucai, who had been lying down for two days before regaining his energy, and asked them to take their respective men and leave Shuanggui Village, which had become a military camp, and return Mianyuan County.
On the way, Mianyuan County, which had been hot and dry for more than a month, finally started to rain.
In various villages in Mianyuan County, countless people rushed into the rain to cheer and celebrate. When Qin Shaoyou and the others saw this scene, they did not take shelter from the rain. They just walked in the rain, letting the rain wash away the dust and heat from their bodies.
Returning to the Yaosi Division of Mianyuan County, as soon as they stepped through the gate, before they saw Sun Xianzong and others who were staying behind, Qin Shaoyou and the others first saw a beautiful red figure holding an umbrella...
