Until Qin Shaoyou entered Mianyuan County, he saw that everything in the villages and towns along the way was as usual. There was no sign of the outbreak of the voodoo curse, nor the traces of the Black Lotus Sect. In the fields, there were busy figures carrying farm tools. , and in the streams and rivers, there were still children playing and catching fish carefree, which made me feel relieved.
Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others all showed happy smiles after seeing this scene.
Isn't this peaceful, peaceful and prosperous scene what they expect and want to protect?
It seems that during the time they left Mianyuan County, their colleagues in the county town demon department, as well as everyone in the county government and the Chenghuang Temple, did quite well.
While Qin Shaoyou was looking around, a policeman guarding the river was also staring at them with his knife in hand.
The officer had good eyesight and quickly recognized Qin Shaoyou and others. He immediately released his hand holding the knife, saluted them with fists, and then turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.
Obviously, this is a patrol ghost in the Chenghuang Temple.
Looking at the children playing and fishing in the stream, it is not difficult to surmise that this ghost officer must have been patrolling here. When he saw children playing in the stream, he stopped and protected them secretly to prevent any children from missing. Beware of drowning.
Qin Shaoyou and others galloped towards them, which aroused the vigilance of the ghost officer, so he raised his knife and looked at them to see who they were.
Although the ghosts disappeared into clouds and smoke, Qin Shaoyou knew that he was still in this stream, secretly protecting the children.
Therefore, Qin Shaoyou bowed his hand in return to where Gui Cha was just now, and then led everyone, as well as the carriage carrying Cen Biqing, towards Mianyuan County.
Cen Biqing is still sleeping, and she doesn't know how long her hibernation will last.
While she was sleeping, she was unable to maintain her human form and revealed the true form of the big green python.
So along the way, Qin Shaoyou and others had to get a carriage to drag her, and at the same time they had to cover her with a hemp cloth to avoid scaring the people along the way.
Now on the road again, Cen Biqing on the carriage turned over or something happened, and the thick snake tail fell out of the linen and dragged on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiucai quickly stepped forward to pick up the snake's tail and stuffed it back into the sack.
This snake's tail is slippery and quite comfortable to hold...
Otherwise, Xu Xian still knows how to play.
Zhu Xiucai wanted to touch him a few more times, but considering that he would probably not be able to beat Cen Biqing after he woke up, he suppressed the thought of committing suicide.
Not long after Qin Shaoyou and the others left, an old farmer working in a field by the roadside suddenly straightened up and turned to ask his son who was also working in the field.
"Did a snake's tail fall off the carriage just now?"
"Yes, the tail of a big green snake is thicker than my arm!"
The old farmer was sure that he had read it correctly, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up to the town and report what you just saw to the night watchman at the town's monster hunting shop, and ask them to come and check this team to see if there are any no problem."
"Okay." The son replied happily, put down the farm tools in his hands, and took the path to the town.
So, after Qin Shaoyou and the others walked for a while, they heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from both directions along the official road, and saw flying dust.
Monk Ma immediately ordered the night watchmen to form an array, mainly to protect Cen Biqing, who was still sleeping.
Qin Shaoyou used [Bright Eyes] to penetrate the flying dust in front and back and see clearly the identity of the person coming.
"It's one of our own."
He waved his hand to signal everyone not to be nervous.
Sure enough, when the team came closer, many people in the team recognized each other - it was the little flag officer from the demon hunting shop in the nearby town, and the shackles and warriors under his hands.
After this group of people came closer, they also recognized Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and others. After being slightly stunned, they hurried forward to greet them.
Zhu Xiucai is very familiar with this little flag officer... No, it should be said that Zhu Xiucai, who has a social awkwardness, has a close relationship with everyone he has worked with.
After all, there are many people who went to the Sand Dance Theater together and met each other frankly.
After Zhu Xiucai shook hands with the little flag officer, he smiled and joked: "Old Zeng, you don't look like you are coming to greet us adults. Could it be that something happened?"
Zeng Xiaoqi explained with some embarrassment: "It's all a misunderstanding. A farmer came to our demon hunting shop to report the crime, saying that he saw a group of unknown people. Not only did they all have knives on their bodies, but they also had a carriage inside. There is also a big snake hidden. I am worried that someone with bad intentions is coming to my Mianyuan County to cause trouble. Let us come over quickly to investigate..."
After figuring out the whole story, Qin Shaoyou was not only not angry, but also very happy.
The fact that the farmer was able to take the initiative to go to Xunyao Shop to report the crime shows that the people of Mianyuan County are very vigilant.
On the other hand, it shows that Mianyuan County's Demon Suppression Department and Demon Hunting Shop have truly gained the trust of the people.
During this mission, Qin Shaoyou saw that in some places, people were afraid to go to the Demon Suppression Department and Demon Hunting Shop to report crimes. Even if they were really attacked by demons and ghosts, they would avoid going to the Yamen if they could.
Because when they went into the Yamen to report the crime, there was still no sign of the monster, so they looked like they had been shaved off!
The final result is often that demons harm people, corrupt officials in the yamen make money, and the government's credibility plummets...
Qin Shaoyou reported everything he saw along the way to Sixth Sister.
The red-clothed envoys not only have the responsibility of assisting local governments to crack down on major and important cases, but also have the responsibility of supervising the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division in various places to maintain good conduct and discipline!
At this moment, in addition to being happy that the Yaozhen Division has been recognized by the people here in Mianyuan County, Qin Shaoyou is also very satisfied with the way Zeng Xiaoqi and others handled it.
"When you received the report, you did not neglect your duties or handle it indifferently. Instead, the chief officer personally led a team to investigate as soon as possible. You did a good job."
Although Zeng Xiaoqi was excited, he did not forget to be humble: "Thank you for the compliment, sir. These are what we should do."
"There are many people in this world who can't even do what they should do."
Qin Shaoyou sighed, and then continued towards Mianyuan County while asking Zeng Xiaoqi about the situation in Mianyuan County these days.
According to Zeng Xiaoqi, many refugees did flow into Mianyuan County in the past few days, but they were all properly resettled by An Mutong.
Previously, due to the troubles caused by the Black Lotus Sect and the rampant zombie princes and demons, many farmlands were abandoned. After the refugees arrived, An Mutong organized them to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the previously abandoned farmland.
In addition to providing work-for-relief and food to the refugees as a reward, Anmutong also promised to grant land to those who work actively.
This commitment not only fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the refugees, but also significantly reduced the crime rate of the refugees.
Under the arrangements of Ye Zhiqiu, Cai Guizhong and others, as well as the active investigation and active reporting by ordinary people, whether it was the spies from Qingtang or the demons from the Black Lotus Sect, they would be targeted soon after they arrived in Mianyuan County. , there is no time to do anything, and you will fall into a trap and be hunted.
It is precisely because of this that Mianyuan County has been as stable as an old dog and everything has been business as usual despite the outbreak of voodoo in other prefectures and counties in Yizhou and the outbreak of the Black Lotus Sect.
After listening to these introductions, combined with the scenes he saw with his own eyes on the road, Qin Shaoyou finally felt relieved.
It is indeed right to follow the mass line.
After sending Zeng Xiaoqi away and driving for a long time, Qin Shaoyou and the others finally returned to Mianyuan County.
However, after entering the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division in the county, Qin Shaoyou found that the atmosphere here seemed a little wrong.
