Qin Yu and the two came to the city lord's mansion and found the person who issued the task - Yuan Xin!

"Dignified guests of the Xuantian Sect, you are here, please come this way!"

Yuan Xin greeted warmly: "Have you guys had breakfast? How about we chat while eating."

If a leader asks you if you have had breakfast, it is most likely that the leader has not eaten yet.

At this time, even if you eat, you still have to say you didn’t!

But if that person is not the leader, then just tell the truth.

Qin Yu said: "No need, we have already eaten!"

Li Zhengtong waved his hand and said: "We just had a few bites this morning. If you insist on treating us to a meal, I think I can barely take a few more bites."

Qin Yu: "..."

Yuan Xin immediately said: "Then you two, please come over here. Although we are poor in Gucheng, we have a lot of special snacks. Let's try them together!"

Yuan Xin took Qin Yu to a barely decent breakfast shop in the city and bought some specialty food.

The three of them chatted while eating.

Yuan Xin spoke first: "Let me introduce myself formally. I am Yuan Xin, the captain of the Gucheng Guards. It is my responsibility to protect the safety of Gucheng and the surrounding area."

"The place where the resentful spirit appeared this time is called Santian Village. It is a small village with more than 300 households."

"After the appearance of the resentful spirit, all the villagers have evacuated. They are currently living in the local town. However, the weather is getting colder now. It is quite inconvenient for the villagers to live there. That's why I boldly asked Xuantian Sect for help."

Qin Yu waved his hand, saying there was no need to be polite.

"Captain Yuan, when was this resentful spirit discovered?"

"About seven days ago, the head of Santian Village was found tragically dead at home in the morning. His face was blue and purple, and his orifices were filled with black gas. It was suspected to be the work of evil spirits."

"The villagers of Santian Village immediately reported it to the authorities. After I learned about the incident, I immediately took people there to have a look. The local area was surrounded by resentment, and there may indeed be resentful spirits."

"At that time, I thought that the resentful spirit would come ashore again to take revenge, but after waiting there for a day, there was no trace of the resentful spirit, so I had to evacuate the villagers of Santian Village first."

"I feel ashamed to say it. It is my responsibility to protect the people around me, but you two have also seen that our city is poor and backward, and our defense force is seriously insufficient. I have a lot of things to deal with, and I really don't have time to stay there all the time. Wraith."

"Today I am taking my team members to eliminate bandits around a small town, and tomorrow I have to escort food transportation. I am really busy, so I can only ask you two to help me."

"It doesn't matter, it's our responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the law!"

"Captain Yuan, do you resentful spirits appear often?"

Captain Yuan hurriedly shook his head: "How can it appear so often? Wraiths only appear when people die when they are extremely resentful. If we had wraiths appearing frequently, the city lord's head would have been chopped off long ago."

"To be honest, after so many years of work, this is the first time I have encountered a resentful spirit."

Qin Yu nodded and continued to ask: "Did anyone die in the village before this resentful spirit appeared? What was that person's identity?"

Captain Yuan said: "It's not that one person died, but a whole family of three died!"

"I heard from the villagers that the man in this family went to a liquor store in the village and got drunk, so his mother-in-law took her children to find him."

"And there happened to be a lake at his house from the liquor store. On the way back, the drunk man might have accidentally fallen into the lake, and his mother-in-law rushed to save him. As a result, the whole family of three fell in and drowned."

Qin Yu frowned.

‘There are a lot of unreasonable things here! ’

Qin Yu asked: "Is there anyone near that lake?"

"Yes, there are many people near the lake, and the village chief's house is the one closest to the lake."

"So the villagers said it was because the village chief didn't save them. After they turned into resentful spirits, they went to the village chief for revenge."

Qin Yu: "When her man fell into the water, the woman didn't yell for help?"

"And why did the child fall when he was saving the man? Shouldn't the child be allowed to wait on the shore?"

Captain Yuan scratched his head.

"I didn't ask that clearly. I mainly wanted to get rid of the resentful spirits, so I didn't pay too much attention to the reasons why the resentful spirits appeared."

"Anyway, he has become a resentful spirit. No matter what happened to him during his lifetime, he needs to be sent into reincarnation."

"Okay!"

Qin Yu took a bite of breakfast and said, "Captain Yuan, in addition to getting rid of the resentful spirits in this mission, we also need to find out the reasons for the appearance of the resentful spirits."

"You must know that the reason why resentful spirits are born is because of resentment. Where does this resentment come from? Whether it is being wronged or bullied. These all need to be investigated clearly, and we also need to communicate with the sect."

"Don't worry, little friend, I will fully cooperate with you two in your actions!"

"Then thank you Captain Yuan!"

"Where is the body of the village chief? Let's go and take a look first!"

"This..." Captain Yuan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Before they came to report the case, the body had been burned and buried by the villagers, and the three members of the dead family were also burned and buried. ”

"So now there is no real evidence!"

Qin Yu frowned and asked, "In other words, you have not seen the village chief's body with your own eyes?"

"No, that's what the villagers said. But when I went to the village to check, there was indeed a lot of resentment. This is true."

"Okay, where are those villagers placed? We need to go over and ask the person involved!"

...

After breakfast, Captain Yuan personally took Qin Yu and Qin Yu to a nearby town.

Qin Yu looked at Li Zhengtong and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Li Zhengtong burped, "That family of three is so pitiful!"

Qin Yu: "..."

"It's useless to ask!"

"What do you think of today's breakfast?"

Li Zhengtong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly became energetic: "Brother Yu, I have to say, the white steamed buns are really delicious, and the brown snacks are simply amazing!"

Qin Yu: "...Amazing!"

The three of them soon came to the town where Santian Village was resettled. Because of the large number of people in Santian Village, they were all arranged on the gentle slope next to the town and simply built a few sheds.

The weather is very cold now, so their living conditions are very bad.

Seeing Captain Yuan appear, a group of villagers swarmed up and surrounded the three people.

It's not a good feeling to have a home but can't go back. The villagers naturally want to solve the problem quickly and go home with peace of mind.

"Captain Yuan, hurry up and get rid of that evil spirit. We want to go home!"

"Captain Yuan, do you think this is a place where people live? There's not even a warm wall. My daughter caught a cold today."

"Captain Yuan, when are you going to our village?"

"Captain Yuan, Captain Yuan, Captain Yuan, I'm sorry, Captain Yuan, they've said everything I wanted to say."

"Yuan... Yuan... Yuan..."

"Stutter, please step back. I have something to ask you!"

The villagers around were talking one after another, making it a headache.
