Start Six Maids

The boy turned and left, closing the door before leaving.

In the guest room, the three of Chu Ci sat down one by one.

After a moment of silence, Chu Ci took the lead and said, "Master Daoist, tell me what you found?"

The drunk Taoist stroked his beard and pondered.

"Pindao walked all the way, and found that everything in Xue's mansion is normal, and there is no shadow of any monster."

"Master Xue and his wife are not like demons pretending to be."

Chu Ci looked at Leng Ruxue and asked aloud, "Ru Xue, what do you think?"

Leng Ruxue pondered for a moment, then said in a cold voice, "The Xue residence does not look abnormal."

"But the Xue family..."

Leng Ruxue thought for a moment, then continued, "I always feel that something is wrong!"

Chu Ci nodded slightly, and said softly, "Yes, there is indeed something wrong with the Xue couple!"

"The way they look at us, they want to swallow us up!"

Chapter 371: The Communication Talisman Changes!

"hiss···"

The drunken Taoist took a deep breath when he heard what Chu Ci said.

"Could it be that Xue and his wife are really demons?"

Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "I can't be sure, but they definitely have problems!"

The drunk Taoist stroked his beard and said, "What should we do? Just rush up and kill Xue and his wife?"

Chu Ci glanced at the drunken Taoist and said, "Don't be so irritable, just look at it first."

The drunken Taoist shrugged, "Listen to you, but we don't have much time to waste in Youzhou City."

Chu Ci nodded and said out loud, "I know."

"If we can't find the secret of the Xue family, we will leave before the merchant ship departs."

"Now, let's go find Xue Gui!"

The three of Chu Ci left the guest room, called a servant, and asked about Xue Gui's residence.

Other courtyard.

Xue Gui sat in the gazebo, staring at the rockery in front of him.

"Master!"

The young man walked into the other courtyard and said to Xue Gui, "Some of your friends want to see you."

Before Xue Gui came back to his senses, he subconsciously said, "Friend? What friend?"

The boy was taken aback, and said in surprise, "It's the friend you brought back this morning."

"Ah!" Xue Gui was startled, and hurriedly motioned for the servant to lead him in.

"Go and bring them in!"

"Yes, Master!"

The boy nodded in agreement, turned and left the other courtyard.

After a while, the servant led Chu Ci and the three of them into the other courtyard.

Xue Gui signaled the servant to leave, and hurriedly called Chu Ci and the three to sit down.

"Master Chu, you are finally here!"

Xue Gui walked up to Chu Ci and sat down, put his hands on his sleeves and said, "I'm still worried that Master Chu will leave without saying goodbye."

Chu Ci chuckled and asked, "Why do you think so?"

"Cough!" Xue Gui gave a dry laugh, and explained, "I came back this time, and I found that my parents seem to be fine."

"I'm worried that Master Chu thinks I'm deceiving you, so I'm afraid that Master Chu will leave without saying goodbye."

Chu Ci patted Xue Gui on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry."

Xue Gui breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Chu Ci meant that he would not leave Xue's mansion now.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ci's next sentence directly shocked Xue Gui!

Chu Ci patted Xue Gui on the shoulder and said, "Your parents really have problems!"

Xue Gui was startled and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Master Chu!"

Xue Gui tightly grasped Chu Ci's arm with both hands, and asked nervously, "My parents, are they really transformed by demons?!"

Chu Ci pulled his arm out of Xue Gui's hand and said, "I'm not sure it's a demon."

"But they do have ill intentions for you."

Xue Gui asked in fear, "How did Master Chu know?"

Chu Ci glanced at Xue Gui meaningfully, and said, "The way your parents looked at you before didn't look like they were looking at their son."

Xue Gui was taken aback, "What does that look like?"

Chu Ci pointed to the pastries on the table in front of him and said, "Like them."

Xue Gui's eyes fell on the pastry, and he shivered for a moment.

"hiss···"

Xue Gui almost knelt down to Chu Ci, and said in a begging tone, "Lord Chu, save me!"

After a pause, Xue Gui continued, "Save my parents too, they must be possessed by demons!"

Chu Ci nodded, stood up and said, "Let's go first."

Xue Gui stood up and asked blankly, "Where are you going?"

Chu Ci looked at Xue Gui with a blank face, and said aloud, "Go to the city guard to borrow some people, and first surround Xue's mansion."

"oh oh!"

Xue Gui came to his senses and hurried to the front to lead the way.

"I am familiar with the county government in the city, and I will lead the way for Lord Chu!"

After leaving the Xue residence, Xue Gui led the three of Chu Ci along the main road in the city.

After walking through three intersections, several people came to a majestic government office.

Xue Gui introduced aloud, "Lord Chu, this is the Yamen of Youzhou city."

Chu Ci looked at the gate of the mansion, and asked Xue Gui, "Have you been to the mansion before?"

Xue Gui nodded repeatedly, "Of course, I used to come here often!"

After a pause, Xue Gui recalled, "The last city guard was Wang Shouxun, Lord Wang and my father are old friends."

"My father often takes me to visit Mr. Wang."

"Appointed?" Chu Ci pondered for a moment, then asked, "Who is the current city guard?"

Xue Gui thought for a while and said, "The current city guard is called Ji Bochuan, and he has only been in office for two months."

"By the way, Ji Bochuan invited my father to a banquet some time ago!"

"But I have something to do, so I didn't go."

Chu Ci looked at Xue Gui and asked, "The city guard invited your father to a banquet?"

Xue Gui scratched his head and said, "It should be the first time in the job, and you want to make some connections?"

"My father is considered a man, big or small, in Youzhou City!"

Chu Ci chuckled, and asked, "Apart from Ji Bochuan, is there anyone else to entertain your father?"

"Yes." Xue Gui thought for a moment and said, "I remember that all the famous people in Youzhou City invited them to a banquet."

A strange look flashed in Chu Ci's eyes, "Didn't you ask your father what Ji Bochuan said at the banquet?"

Xue Gui shook his head and said, "I didn't ask."

"How can I care about this!"

Chu Ci shook his head helplessly, looked at the closed door of the government office and said, "Young Master Xue, go and call the door!"

Xue Gui stepped forward and slammed on the gate of the mansion.

boom! boom! boom!

squeak-

The closed door was opened from the inside.

When the porter opened the door and saw Xue Gui, a smile appeared on his face.

"So it's Mr. Xue!"

"Dare to ask Mr. Xue what is your business?"

Xue Gui coughed lightly and asked, "Is the city guard here?"

"I want to bring some friends to meet the adults!"

The porter rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Young Master Xue, wait a moment, let me make a report?"

Xue Gui waved his hand and said, "Go."

The porter nodded slightly, turned around and returned to the government office.

After a while, the porter came out again, and said to Xue Gui, "Young Master Xue, please come in!"

The little official led Chuci and the others around the two side halls and came to a hall.

"Mr. Xue, several guests, the Lord City Guard is inside."

After the little official finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Let's go?"

Xue Gui greeted, and walked towards the hall first.

Chu Ci was about to leave when he suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

Standing beside Chu Ci, Leng Ruxue asked with concern.

Chu Ci reached into his arms and took out a prayer talisman.

Spreading the palms flat, the talisman folded itself in Chu Ci's hand, and soon a talisman paper crane appeared on Chu Ci's palm.

Swish!

Paper cranes leaped out of thin air and danced around the open space in front of the hall.

"This is?"

Leng Ruxue looked at Zhihe with a questioning look in her eyes.

Chu Ci raised his hand to recall the paper crane, with a meaningful expression on his face.

"This is the Wanli Communication Talisman that Di Gongming sent me when he was in danger!"

Chapter 372 Confrontation!

Leng Ruxue looked at the paper crane in Chu Ci's hand, and asked aloud, "Now that the talisman has changed, but Di Gongming's life is in danger?"

Chu Ci put away the talisman and paper crane, with a smile on his face.

"It's not dangerous."

"But I found Di Gongming!"
