"A civilian girl wants to enter the house."
The household registration that Xiaocui is talking about does not refer to the household registration of ordinary people, but the household registration of monsters.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, demons and ghosts were not uncommon. Otherwise, there would not be a special Yamen for suppressing demons to handle demon and ghost affairs.
As for the bad demons that eat people, the night watchmen of the Demon Suppression Department will naturally use thunder to suppress and kill them!
But for those monsters that have never harmed anyone, the Demon Suppression Department's attitude is much gentler.
This is the method of salvation for wandering ghosts who have never harmed anyone.
It’s not the kind of physical transcendence that Monk Ma has.
Instead, they invite monks and Taoist priests to chant sutras for the ghosts and save them to go to the underworld.
Or it may be to help ghosts fulfill their unfulfilled wishes, so that they will no longer have the fetters to stay in the human world, and they will naturally go to the underworld.
As for monsters, as long as they are willing to abide by the law and accept the supervision of the local monster suppression department and monster hunting shop, they can be registered and become citizens of the Great Xia Dynasty.
You can even study and cultivate your mind, or join the Demon Suppression Department and become a night watchman.
Just like Cen Biqing in the Demon Division of Zhouzhen, Qiurong and Qingji under Qin Shaoyou, etc.
Qin Shaoyou went out to patrol various towns this time. In addition to checking the cases of demons and ghosts in various places, he also wanted to complete the files on demons.
Everywhere he went, he would call out the monsters recorded in the monster books to meet him, and encourage them to continue to abide by the law, do good deeds, and not act recklessly.
It's just that Qin Shaoyou didn't expect that Xiaocui had not been registered as a demon after several years in the Cai family?
No wonder he didn't see Xiaocui's information in the demon registration files of the Mianyuan County Demon Division.
Originally, he thought that it was the demons from the Black Lotus Sect who caused trouble and destroyed the demon books that recorded Xiao Cui's files.
Unexpectedly, she didn't enter at all.
This made Qin Shaoyou very surprised: "Why didn't you log in before? Cai Guizhong should not make such a mistake."
Xiao Cui hurriedly said: "It's not Cai Lang's fault, the girl has always wanted to register, but the night watchman at the Demon Hunting Shop in Lingjie Town has been stuck and refused to let me go through it. They asked me to pay money first, okay? After it was easy to collect enough money to pay, I found many other reasons to delay the process."
The night watch department at the township level is called the Demon Hunting Shop, which is half a level higher than the local security patrol shop and can mobilize the soldiers in the patrol shop.
Qin Shaoyou was already very dissatisfied with the night watchman in Lingjie Town, but after hearing Xiaocui's complaints, his face darkened even more.
He knew that the night watchman here in Lingjie Town did not allow monsters to enter their homes for two reasons:
One is to extract benefits from monsters;
The second is to use these monsters that have not entered their homes to blackmail the people of Lingjie Town and force them to give money to "suppress monsters and ghosts".
After all, it's still the same way as to support the bandits in self-respect and extortion!
The night watchmen elsewhere wish that more monsters could be naturalized, because this can also be regarded as a political achievement.
But here in Lingjie Town, the night watchman didn't want to let monsters enter their homes at all. They even wanted to 'force' monsters to rebel, so that they could make money.
Zhu Xiucai, a veteran who has been involved in official circles for many years, also guessed the whole story at once.
His face was as gloomy as a Yaksha, and he cursed: "These bastards, they just want money rather than their lives, and they are not afraid of losing their lives for money?"
At the same time, he was a little curious: "You can be considered a family member of the night watchman after all. Didn't that boy Cai Guizhong help you find the night watchman in Lingjie Town to explain the situation to you and help you log in?"
Xiaocui sighed and said: "Cai Lang asked the night watchman in Lingjie Town for help, but because he was working elsewhere at the time and was only a strongman, the night watchman here ignored him at all and said that everything must be done according to the rules. Do it, after Cai Lang left, they immediately found me and said that the fee to enter the house would be doubled..."
Through [Bright Eyes], Qin Shaoyou saw a hint of resentment in Xiaocui's expression when he mentioned the night watchman in Lingjie Town. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked: "I'm afraid there are more than just night watchmen in Lingjie Town. Is it that simple to ask you for money? Do they have other demands? "
Xiaocui didn't say a word and seemed a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiucai said: "Brothers and sisters, don't worry, what else do those bastards want? Just say, we will help you make the decision!"
Qin Shaoyou also said: "To tell you the truth, when we came to Lingjie Town this time, we have already heard a lot about the bad deeds of the night watchmen here, and we are planning to deal with them. What happened to you may be another one of theirs. Evidence of guilt!"
Xiaocui is a smart person. Although Qin Shaoyou did not reveal his identity, she had already made a guess.
So after listening to Qin Shaoyou's words, she no longer hesitated and said:
“Those bastards, in addition to extorting money from me, also wanted me to commit myself to them.
At first, they even wanted to capture me as a slave, but after knowing the identity of Cai Lang's night watchman, they didn't use force on me.
But he didn't let me go either.
They then threatened me, saying that if I didn't sleep with them, they would tell everyone in the town the secret that I was a monster, making it difficult for me to live in the town and no longer be the daughter-in-law of the Cai family.
At the same time, they asked me about the household registration, saying that if I wanted to become a demon, I had to satisfy them.
As a result, for a long time in the past, I didn't dare to come to the town often. I could only come here occasionally to help Cai Lang visit and take care of his mother.
It wasn't until a few months ago that Cai Lang was transferred to the Yaosi Division in Luocheng Town. The night watchman here in Lingjie Town had restrained himself and no longer openly threatened me. Force me to submit..."
Hearing this, not only Qin Shaoyou looked angry, but all the night watchmen were angry.
Cai Guizhong is from the Demon Suppression Department, and although Xiaocui has not yet passed the door, he can be regarded as a family member of the Night Watchman.
As a night watchman, he naturally knows how difficult it is for them to find a wife.
At the same time, I also understand how hard and tiring it is to be the daughter-in-law of a night watchman.
This group of night watchmen in Lingjie Town, even if they don't give the family members the green light, actually want to take advantage of the family members?
You even have to let your family members sleep with you and cuckold your colleagues? !
This is no longer excessive, but a toad jumping into the frying pan - seeking death!
Immediately, several night watchmen who were close friends with Cai Guizhong stepped out with their knives in hand and asked for orders: "Sir, let us go and arrest all these rats in Lingjie Town!"
They don't want to call their colleagues here the Night's Watch.
Because those bastards are not worthy of being night watchmen!
That's a bunch of rats!
A group of rats that ruined the reputation of the Night Watch and harmed the people!
Compared with them, demons and ghosts are much cuter!
Qin Shaoyou didn't plan to wait any longer.
Just as he was about to give the order, he suddenly raised his brows, turned around suddenly, looked outside the room, and let out a loud roar like thunder: "Who is spying with malicious intent?"
"ah--"
A scream came from the crowd.
A man covered his ears in pain, and streams of blood flowed from his ears.
He turned around and tried to run, but couldn't.
Invisible streams of blood had already roared out from Qin Shaoyou's body, binding the man with the force of thunder, instantly dragging him into the house, and throwing him heavily in front of Cai Guizhong's coffin.
