Having lost Jiufeng, Heart Demon, Ten Heavenly Lords and Seven Great Sages one after another, Heavenly Demon has suffered heavy losses.
However, the demon did not respond at all. It seemed that he was frightened by Zhang Xiu, so he hid and became a coward. He did not even send a few men to cause trouble for Zhang Xiu and the others.
Such abnormal calmness made Yang Jian suspect that he was brewing some big conspiracy. He frowned all day long, did not think about food, and could not even eat the food cooked by his cousin.
As soon as Zhang Xiu went out, he saw Yang Jian sitting in the pavilion sighing and drinking wine. He walked up to him and grabbed a handful of peanuts on his plate and asked: "Second cousin, why are you sighing when you wake up so early in the morning? "
Yang Jian sighed with a hint of disgust: "If the devil wants to hide, who can find him? I will stay here with you until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "It turns out something happened to me. I just happened to be out on business today. If you are really free, you can come with me."
After speaking, he called Ao Xue and Yan Feng and led them out.
While walking on the road, Zhang Xiu told them what they were going to do today: "In addition to being a chef and suona for weddings and weddings, I also work part-time as a matchmaker, fortune teller, feng shui reader, and catch thieves."
"There was a thief at Zhang Dahu's house in the west of the city. He went to the government and the martial arts from the escort agency, but he didn't even catch a hair. Then he came to me. Zhang Dahu did all kinds of bad things because he was rich, but his family was rich and had vast hectares of fertile land. There are seventeen maids serving him alone, so I have to get a handful of wool from him this time."
"If you hadn't mentioned that he has seventeen maids, I would have thought that the big man Zhang was you."
Looking at Yang Jian's serious expression, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel happy: "Second cousin, you actually learned to joke, keep it up."
While talking, Zhang Xiu took Yang Jian to Zhang Da's house.
The house covers an area of more than 20 acres, with red walls and green tiles, and a garden with towering pavilions and pavilions in the backyard. At first glance, it looks like a wealthy family.
Zhang Dahu is nearly 60 years old, with gray beard and hair, sunken cheeks, and two dark circles under his eyes. He walks with a sloppy step, and looks like he is running out of time.
Seeing Zhang Xiu's arrival, Zhang Dahu stood up from his chair with the help of the housekeeper, and said with a sad face: "Master Zhang, you already know about the thief in my house. I heard that the bandit commander Yan Feng has also come to our Jizhou Prefecture. , do you think I was targeted by him?"
When Yan Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "Robin Commander Yan Feng?!"
Zhang Dahu sighed: "You don't know something, strong man. This handsome thief Yan Feng is a famous thief in our north. Twenty years ago, he evacuated the entire Prince Qin's Mansion overnight and even stole the Princess of Qin." Got it!
In the 20 years since his debut, Yan Feng has never failed, and no one has even seen his true face. Therefore, he is praised as the leader of thieves on the Green Forest Road. "
"If I were really targeted by him, I might not even be able to save the coffin, little old man."
Zhang Xiu heard this and said with a serious face: "I heard that Yan Feng only steals from the most evil people and uses all the stolen money to do good deeds. I have always admired him very much. If you want me to arrest Yan Feng..."
Zhang Dahu smiled bitterly, feeling helpless for a while, and then heard Zhang Xiu continue: "That's another price."
Zhang Dahu: "..."
Yan Feng: "..."
Looking at the dumbfounded Zhang Dahu, Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Take me for a walk in the yard first to see if you can find any clues."
Zhang Dahu came to his senses and took Zhang Xiu and others to the backyard to familiarize them with the environment.
When he came to a small two-story building, he stopped and said nervously: "This is my warehouse. The second floor is locked and there are no windows. No one can get in at all. But at night, the people above There was the sound of rolling jade beads and bones. When I opened the lock and went in, I couldn't see anyone."
"I suspect Yan Feng is hiding inside."
Zhang Xiu asked everyone to wait outside, then walked in alone, and walked out after a moment. He smiled at Zhang Dahu and said, "Don't worry, Yuan Wai Zhang. I went up to take a look. There are no snitches on the second floor, only two little ghosts." Playing with your eyeballs.”
Zhang Dahu breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes widened in horror.
Don't worry, isn't this more terrifying than a snitch? !
After paying two hundred taels of silver, Zhang Xiu brought two seven or eight-year-old brats down. After Zhang Dahu saw them with his own eyes, his face turned pale with fright, and he immediately no longer felt sorry for the two hundred taels of silver... …
After calming down, he pointed to the other lofts and introduced them as he walked: "The building nearby is where my third child lives, the building on the east is where the fifth and sixth children live, and the fourth and seventh children live on the west side."
Zhang Xiu said in surprise: "Zhang Yuanwai, you are so lucky to have such a son and daughter."
Zhang Dahu laughed awkwardly: "My concubine lives inside..."
Seeing the shocked expressions of Zhang Xiu and others, Zhang Dahu blushed and changed the subject: "By the way, in the building where the third child lives, there are often sounds of windows opening and closing at night. I didn't pay much attention to it before, you said Could it be haunted too?”
"There are also the fourth and seventh children. When I went to find them, they were all paralyzed every time and couldn't get out of bed. They were also sweating profusely and their cheeks were red. Could it be that they were possessed by evil spirits?"
"Earlier, Lao Wu and Lao Liu often said that the yard was not clean. They often went to Qiuzi Temple outside the city to pray for blessings. They went there twice a month and stayed there for almost half a month."
Zhang Dahu, who had seen the imp, looked nervous, and now everything looked like evil.
Zhang Xiu glanced at Zhang Dahu with a strange expression, and helped him straighten the hat with emerald green jade on his head: "You are overthinking. Seeing as you don't have long life left, you should concentrate on preparing for your funeral."
Zhang Dahu trembled when he heard this, his face became a little ugly, and he looked at Zhang Xiu unwillingly: "Mr. Zhang, you have great powers, can you calculate how many years I have left to live?"
Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "This is not cheap, five hundred taels of silver. Let me ask you."
He took out the communication jade pendant and said a few words. Not long after, a man wearing a bright red imperial robe appeared in front of everyone. He smiled and cupped his hands towards Zhang Xiuyi: "Teacher, what are you calling me for? I am reviewing documents in the underworld." Woolen cloth."
The man summoned by Zhang Xiu was the City God of Jizhou Prefecture and one of the seventy-two disciples taught by Zhang Xiu when he opened the academy. His name was Kangxi and he was nicknamed Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand.
Back then, these seventy-two rebel kings went to the underworld after their death. Each of them led a hundred thousand ghost soldiers to surround the Yama Palace, and almost brought chaos to the underworld.
Later, they heard that the Yin Yue Dynasty of the Heavenly Demon Zhang Xiu was established. They immediately passed the assessment and successively replaced the original City God. Now, the thirty-six Yin Divisions and the seventy-two City Gods are all included in the power of the Yin Yue Dynasty.
Seeing Kangxi's arrival, Zhang Xiu showed a smile, asked about his current situation, pointed at Zhang Dahu and asked, "How many years does he have left to live?"
Kangxi glanced at Zhang Dahu and said excitedly: "It's ready to be buried!"
As he spoke, he took out a shovel and skillfully dug a hole on the side, just like when Zhang Xiu took his group of students to undertake funerals and earn food expenses...
Zhang Dahu: "@#￥%￥#@......"
So what, I think I can still save it a little bit...
