Strange World: My Systematic Practice Life

The next day.

The Li family of the three great aristocratic families in Tianshui was destroyed. Such a major event has become the talk of the people in the city.

At this time, the restaurant was quite lively, and many well-dressed people were talking about the Li family's extermination over drinks.

"The Li family, that is an aristocratic family with a history of hundreds of years. Even though it is not a big family, it is still a famous existence in Tianshui. It is also called the three major families in Tianshui with the Xiao family and the Fang family. I didn't expect it to disappear like this. .”

"Who says it's not? I don't know what happened to the Li family. They were directly wiped out of the nine clans."

"What about the Nine Clans? It means that there isn't even a single one of the livestock raised by the Li family."

In the restaurant by the window, a young man of sixteen or seventeen was slowly drinking the fruit wine in his hand, looking out of the window with a calm expression.

It is not the other person but the egret.

Listening to the people's discussions about this matter in the tavern, there is a lot of noteworthy information in it.

Among them, there was a table next to Bailu, and the conversation between a few warrior-looking men was quite interesting.

"I heard that the Li family and the Fang family have some friendships on weekdays, and there are still people in the Fang family who work in the government office. Such a big incident happened to the Li family, and they dare not even say a word. ah."

One of the men wearing a round leather hat said with some sighs.

"Old Wang, you don't know this! Do you think it's the government office who made the move?"

Among the several men, a cheeky man whose face was flushed from drinking said mysteriously.

"Brother Zhu, who else could this be if it wasn't a government office? Many people watched the scene that day, and those black-armored soldiers were real."

The other men said without knowing why.

"Hey! That's right, it was those black-armored soldiers who killed the Li family, but brothers, have you ever seen city guards dressed like this before?"

The big man with cheeks opened his mouth and said.

Without waiting for a few people to reply, he continued.

"You haven't seen it before. Let me tell you, this black-armored soldier is not comparable to ordinary city guards. These soldiers are night watchmen."

"Night Watch Army? Why haven't we heard of this name?"

Several big men said with doubts on their faces.

"It's normal if I haven't heard of it..."

Seeing the puzzled looks of several people, the bearded man showed a smug look on his face.

"Oh, brother Zhu, don't be a fool, tell me quickly, or I will pay you for this drink."

"Okay, I'll just wait for your words." Hearing this, the bearded man showed a satisfied smile.

Without delay, after looking around, he moved closer to a few people and lowered their voices.

Egret also focused on listening and listened carefully.

"Brother knows so much because my old cousin who works in the yamen told me when he was drunk that the night watch army is a soldier belonging to the night watch department."

"You guys don't know about the night watchman. Brother, I'll just say it straight. This night watchman is the official department of Dayu that deals with those strange and evil things."

Several big men showed puzzled faces.

"What strange and evil thing? Brother Zhu, please explain clearly."

"What kind of evil thing can it be, those demons and ghosts? I know you don't believe it, but it's true."

Seeing that some people didn't believe him, the cheeky man surnamed Zhu became a little anxious immediately.

"That's what the old cousin told me. Brothers, you still remember the massacre that happened two years ago, and the many missing persons cases at the beginning of this year. Those are all good things done by those dirty things. "

"Even my old cousin secretly took me to the Yamen mortuary to have a look. You may not believe it. Have you ever seen a person with two faces on the front and back of his head?"

"To tell you the truth, I almost scared my brother to death when I saw that corpse."

Then the bearded man talked about a few unsolved cases that happened before Tianshui.

Seeing Lao Zhu's serious appearance, those men immediately believed what the other party said, and they were quite surprised.

"Okay, let's not talk about that and run away. Brothers don't have to worry too much. Those dirty things will be dealt with by the night watchman, and it won't cause any major problems."

Seeing that several people were frightened by what he said, Lao Zhu patted the shoulders of several people, and took a big gulp of wine again.

"And the status of the night watchman in Dayu is quite high, it can be equal to or even surpassed by the yamen."

"Besides, being able to fight against those ghosts, although there are not many people in the Night Watch Division, their strength is definitely extremely strong."

Hearing what Lao Zhu said, those men also nodded one after another.

"Now brothers, do you know why the Fang family didn't even dare to let a fart happen when they watched the Li family be wiped out?"

"Although the Fang family has some connections in the Tianshui Yamen, they don't recognize it at the Night Watch Division. Maybe the Fang family is still worried about whether they will be implicated by the Li family."

Lao Zhu took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, belched and said slowly.

"Brother Zhu, your news is really well-informed, but Brother Zhu, speaking of it, why did the night watchman suddenly attack the Li family, and he was so direct and relentless, it must have been too ruthless!"

Hearing the praise of several people, that old Zhu was quite complacent.

Hearing the round leather hat asked again, he was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't thought of this.

"Uh... this one!"

"Maybe the Li family did something bad, otherwise the Night Watchman wouldn't have made a move."

After thinking about it, Lao Zhu said.

On the contrary, there was still doubt in the eyes of the round leather hat.

"Brother Zhu, didn't you say that the Night Watch Division specializes in dealing with the dirty things of demons and goblins? Could it be..."

"Shh!"

Before the round leather hat could finish speaking, Lao Zhu interrupted his plan to continue.

After looking around, Old Zhu said softly.

"Let's drink, let's have fun talking about this picture, so let's stop guessing about it... drink!"

The few people stopped talking and began to brag and fart everywhere.

Bai Lu sat for a while and swallowed the fruit wine in one gulp, got up, paid the money and left the restaurant.

He heard clearly what those people said just now.

"Night watchman, deal with demons and goblins!"

Bailu thought of the situation when he met old Wutou at that time.

At that time, although he drove it into the well, he successfully got rid of the obviously wrong old Wu head.

However, while running, he vaguely heard the sound of fighting from behind.

It is estimated that someone from the night watchman may have made the move.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the fire in the West District at that time.

It stands to reason that with the night watchman around, it is impossible for there to be a fire.

Reminiscent of the special situation of the fire at that time, the context of things in Bai Lu's mind gradually became clear.

"It seems that the fire has something to do with this night watchman."

Just don't know why they set fire to it?

"Forget it, don't care about him, the most important thing is to improve your own strength first."

After thinking about it and still not having a clue, Egret didn't bother to think about it, so he identified the direction and walked towards the direction that passed that day.
