"Master Immortal, can you see anything?" Seeing Yang Yuyao walking out from behind He Qianqing and standing next to He Qianqing curiously looking at the deceased, the county magistrate asked with some expectation. He actually didn't want to care about it. Such a case, but the Gao family is so powerful that even if he is the county magistrate, he has to give some face. The police officers in the yamen have already examined the man's body. There is no doubt that the man died by tearing out his heart. However, they have not found any useful clues at the crime scene yet. Therefore, He Qianqing offered to examine the body, and the county magistrate naturally agreed readily, hoping that the other party could directly see the answer, draw a conclusion, and close the case.
"If there are no accidents, the person who killed the man was a ghost. Judging from the ghost energy remaining on his body, he was at least at the level of an evil ghost." He Qianqing replied. As soon as this answer came out, the crowd gasped.
"But wasn't this man killed during the day? Can ghosts come out during the day?" someone asked in confusion.
"It depends on the type of ghost. Some ghosts can move during the day and are not greatly affected." Yang Yuyao explained the problem. He took the initiative to speak in order to make He Qianqing's words more convincing. Although the people here respected them as monks, they did not trust them, otherwise they would not ask such questions.
Yang Yuyao's pleasant young voice attracted the attention of many people, including Mr. Gao. They finally had the opportunity to see the appearance of the young man who had been hiding since his arrival. Then these people's eyes were completely attracted by Yang Yuyao's The appearance attracted everyone, and they all exclaimed in amazement. It was as if he had completely forgotten where he was now, especially for someone like Mr. Gao, who was originally a man and woman, it made him feel itchy.
It didn't matter who killed this dead male favorite. Even the beautiful eldest daughter of the Deng family, whom he had been interested in recently, had lost her attraction to him. He even began to dream about what kind of charming look a beauty with such a stunning skin would look like on the couch. At this moment, an extreme fear derived from instinct forcibly interrupted his fantasy, Mr. Gao Drenched in cold sweat, he gathered up his thoughts and did not dare to look at Yang Yuyao again. Only then did He Qianqing retract his warning gaze.
"Do you have a solution, Master Immortal?" the county magistrate asked expectantly. Since the perpetrators were ghosts, it would have no effect how many officials they sent as mortals, but even if there were few monks in the country of Ming, they settled here. , these officials also know that when evil spirits appear, they must not be allowed to grow. At the same time, they also know that if they want to ask monks to take action, they must be prepared to pay. This is the rule.
"Put a reward on it. We are just passing by here and we may not have time to search for and deal with the evil ghost." He Qianqing responded to show his attitude. The county magistrate was a little disappointed, but still agreed. He could understand that what He Qianqing meant was that they would not take the initiative to find the whereabouts of the evil ghost and eliminate it for the reward, unless they happened to encounter the evil ghost.
Some people who were watching were very dissatisfied with He Qianqing's answer. They thought that since He Qianqing and the others were here, why didn't they take the opportunity to eradicate the evil spirit? So he started pointing in a low voice. The county magistrate, who noticed the people's actions, turned pale. He quickly spoke out to stop the people's accusations, and apologized to the two of them, for fear of angering the monks Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing.
Let alone a mere county magistrate, even if the emperor of their country comes in person, he cannot order these monks. He also expects that there will be brave men under the heavy reward. He knows that the monks have their own circle. After offending these two people, if they tell the other monks that if no monk accepts the reward to kill the evil ghost, they will be the ones who suffer in the end!
"Ah, the moral kidnapping has really begun." Yang Yuyao thought in his heart, not surprised by the reaction of these people, but the county magistrate's handling method is very interesting, even if it will transfer the people's curses to him, this The county magistrate also has to work hard to please them.
"Xiaoyao, don't pay attention to what those people say. These are just a group of weak people trying to excuse themselves for being weak and incompetent." He Qianqing said through a message transmission to Yang Yuyao.
"Well, I expected their reaction." Yang Yuyao replied. It is not that he is ignorant of the world, not to mention that this kind of reaction of these people is very common. Many people will take it for granted that the strong should solve their problems for them, but in fact they are not relatives, nor are they responsible for their duties. Why should others? Help solve a problem?
It is precisely in order to reduce such situations that each sect has so many rules and regulations for carrying out tasks. For monks and sects, the love of mortals does not have much effect. They need mortals to fear and respect them more. If you are regarded as a living Bodhisattva who responds to all requests, it will only lead to overreaching.
At this point in the case, there is no need for them to stay. Although Yang Yuyao feels that the handling process of this case is not quite right, shouldn't the early stages of investigation and evidence collection be kept confidential? How did it reach the stage of public trial? What if this was a man-made murder and the murderer was hidden among the onlookers, would this make it more difficult to handle the case?
The county magistrate left the court after stating that he would offer the reward, but when Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing were about to leave, he planned to deliver it in person. Even Mr. Gao and his wife and concubines did not stay specially to wait for them to buy the reward at a high price. To resist the treasure of the ghost clan, only the shopkeeper of Yufeng Piano Shop left in a hurry.
So Yang Yuyao sold more than a dozen exorcism talismans. Mr. Gao was a knowledgeable man. He knew at a glance that the talismans provided by Yang Yuyao were good and decisively accepted the price Yang Yuyao shouted. But they I didn't bring that much silver when I came here, so I quickly sent someone back to get it. So the county magistrate suggested that they could drink tea and wait in the Yamen. This Yamen was also the magistrate's residence. There was a side door that could bypass the court hall and enter.
At this moment, the drums outside the yamen began to sound, and the county magistrate frowned, as if he was troubled by so many events today. They saw a man and a woman who could tell they were from a wealthy family running over, and headed directly towards them. The magistrate knelt down and began to cry. These two people are Mr. Deng and his wife. They are here today for their two daughters who have been missing for several days. When I checked into the inn in Qincheng this morning, the innkeeper and the innkeeper named Zhu from Naliang Town reminded me of the missing person.
Compared to the shopkeeper Zhu in Naliang Town, the innkeeper here was more aware of the disappearance. Naturally, he also mentioned to Yang Yuyao and the others that the eldest daughter of the Deng family was also missing. Unexpectedly, he suddenly Met someone from the Deng family. However, unlike what others had learned, both of the Deng family's daughters were missing. The Deng family's couple exhausted their contacts and searched for them for several days to no avail before finally making up their minds to officially report the matter to the police.
After gradually understanding the world, even if He Qianqing didn't explain, Yang Yuyao could guess why the parents didn't report it to the official in time. Because the government cannot handle missing persons reports, the most they can do is post a missing person notice. This world is not like his original world. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. If a person goes missing, he can call up the surveillance records nearby for investigation. However, even with such surveillance, people will still go missing.
That was the case in that world, let alone this world. The government simply didn’t have that many manpower to search for people everywhere. It was better to let the government find people than to use their own connections to find them. The result of reporting to the government was that the case was basically dropped. What's more, the missing person is a girl, so it is even more taboo to report it to the police. Whether a girl takes the initiative to find true love or is abducted and sold to a brothel, it is an extremely shameful thing for a mortal, regardless of whether the fault lies with the girl or not. The family may be able to understand, but reporting the matter to the police would be equivalent to making it public. If there were any consequences, the girl's reputation would be ruined.
But now, the pain of separation made the couple grit their teeth and file a police report, regardless of their subsequent reputation, just to find their missing child. Yang Yuyao bit his lower lip gently, feeling that he was starting to get entangled in his heart. The idea of wanting to help lingered in his mind, which was stronger than the feeling when he learned that the ghost clan was killing people in this area and wanted to take action. But maybe this feeling became stronger because he encountered two incidents so close to each other on the same day that made his emotions superimposed, or he was infected by the real emotions of the parents. But he finally endured it and decided not to take the initiative to intervene. Instead, he used the fingers hidden in his sleeves to make a fortune.
Yang Yuyao kept a straight face, pretending to be indifferent, and left with He Qianqing without looking back. However, when he returned to the inn room, he was hugged by He Qianqing, and his indifferent expression was suddenly broken due to shock.
"Xiao Yao, there's no need to pretend here anymore." He Qianqing kissed Yang Yuyao's forehead and said comfortingly. "There's nothing wrong with feeling sad, and there's nothing wrong with showing sympathy for the weak. You can take action if you want to, as long as you control it well and prioritize protecting yourself. To help others, you have to make yourself happy first before it makes sense. .Of course, Xiaoyao, you performed very well today."
"Yes, I know." Yang Yuyao nodded, then gently rubbed his head against He Qianqing's neck. "Master, thank you."
It's hard not to feel happy when someone takes your emotions so seriously, and you may even become dependent on them involuntarily. After all, in his heart, this person is someone who can pamper him. Yang Yuyao feels that around He Qianqing, he can be a weak person, can have more emotions, and can be less fearful. The feeling is addictive and hard to resist. After all, he is only a human being, and it is understandable that he would indulge in comfort, and he does not have the masochistic tendency to be obsessed with pain.
"There is no need to thank you, I should pamper you." He Qianqing smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Xiaoyao wants to take action in this matter, right? The disappearance of the daughter of the Deng family and the murder of the man named Chang should be related to you and me. It is speculated that the ghost clan is causing trouble. If the ghost clan is doing evil, it is obviously not possible to let it go. Of course, Xiaoyao, if you don’t want others to know about it, we can solve it secretly and not collect the bounty."
"The bounty is necessary." Yang Yuyao said firmly without any hesitation, "If we solve this matter, this is the reward that should be paid to us."
"Okay, then do whatever you want." He Qianqing looked at his beautiful young man dotingly and encouraged with a smile.
"I think we'll just go with the flow." Yang Yuyao thought for a while and said.
"How do you say this?" He Qianqing asked.
"Before leaving the Yamen, I did a fortune-telling. The ghost clan knew about me through the man named Chang and set me as a target. Therefore, he should take the initiative to find me. I thought it would be better to go with the flow and let him take away my Make a clone and see what he wants to do specifically, and maybe many doubts will be solved."
"This method is feasible." He Qianqing nodded and agreed. Yang Yuyao proposed using a clone instead of himself as bait to lure the enemy into taking the bait, and He Qianqing naturally had no objection. A monk's external incarnation is never afraid of wear and tear. As long as there is still enough spiritual power, he can regroup into a new avatar.
An hour after Yang Yuyao and the others returned to the inn, the Deng couple finally finished reporting to the official to provide various information, supported each other, and prepared to leave in their own carriage. The law of Minguo stipulates that only official carriages can be parked in front of the Yamen, and other carriages can only be placed in the surrounding alleys. Those who have leg or foot problems and cannot walk can only take a sedan chair.
Therefore, regardless of whether it is the Gao family or the Deng family, even if the family is so powerful that the county magistrate has to give some favors, they can only park their carriages farther away in accordance with regulations. The Deng couple didn't know that as they were walking, a woman wearing a curtain and hat had been quietly following them, and then she poked her head out of a corner. Judging from the woman's figure, she should still be a girl.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, is it true that Jiaojiao is missing?" A handsome man who looked like a scholar rushed towards the Deng couple and asked anxiously.
"Zi Jin..." When the girl in the curtain hat saw the man's appearance, her pupils instantly dilated, and her hands grasped the bricks in the corner with such force that their joints turned white. "I'm missing too! Why do you only think about Deng Jiao?! Sure enough, Deng Jiao deserves to die, haha. If Zijin knew that your fiancée was defiled by a monster before she died, would you still think about her that much?" The girl chuckled in a low voice, and her originally beautiful face turned ferocious due to jealousy.
"She's dead! Why should a dead person fight with me?" the girl said nonchalantly, turned to leave, but was startled by the familiar and beautiful face that suddenly appeared in front of her, she stepped back repeatedly, and was then grabbed by the man live.
"I asked you to find out where the monk surnamed Yang is. Why are you lingering here?" The girl watched as the young man used the face that originally belonged to her half-sister and shook it into a sieve. However, the boy showed no mercy and exerted force on the girl's shoulders, causing the girl to let out a silent scream.
"If you can't show any value, I will send you to see your sister. Tell me, how will your sister, who tried her best to save you but was betrayed and framed by you, react when she sees you?" The young man said. The male and female voice said softly, and the girl was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"There will be no next time. You can take care of yourself." After the young man finished speaking, he disappeared again. The silence around the girl disappeared in an instant, and the bustling voices of people came to her ears again. She seemed to have returned to the world again, but she seemed to be free again, but she was still trapped by an invisible chain. There was no way to escape the control of that weird boy.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to find the target that the young man is looking for. It may take more than ten years for them to meet a monk here, and the target is a beautiful monk with such a stunning appearance. It can be said that everyone in the city now She was full of curiosity about it, and after a little inquiry, the girl got the specific location.
