After rebirth, Bai Yueguang became a black lotus

Chapter 182: County Magistrate Zeng

Zhuang Sheng is a very competent subordinate.

When Lu Youzhi said they wanted to go to the county government office, he quickly found out where the county government was and even found a child to lead the way for them.

And only one bun was used.

Zhuang Sheng wanted to give more, but he had no money, so Tang Yan and he had to pool their money to buy buns. They were really poor.

Not only that, on the way he also found out about what had happened recently in An County.

It was exactly what Lu Youzhi had thought. In the past two months, An County had been very uneasy. Every night, someone would die, and even the demon catchers were unable to do anything about them.

Jiang Sheng, the most famous person in An County, after experiencing so many days, only found out the rule that one can survive by keeping quiet at night. As expected, the number of deaths gradually decreased after his discovery. But even so, people still died.

The most important thing is that the county magistrate will not be able to sleep or eat well until the murderer is caught. He has not been to the government office for several days and has ordered people to send countless letters to the border for help.

……

"When will this day end?"

The county magistrate sighed deeply. In just two short months, he had a lot more white hair on his head. The lawyer stood aside and said, "This is really strange. It's been so long since we sent out the letter, why hasn't the marquis sent anyone yet?"

"Maybe...something has delayed him." The county magistrate was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had a long beard and a pair of phoenix eyes. He looked very energetic, but his eyebrows were full of worry. "Hey, what kind of monster has been causing trouble in our An County these days?"

"We have so many demon hunters in An County, but we can't catch any of them. Even Jiang Sheng..."

As he was speaking, the bailiff came in again to report that twelve people had died yesterday.

Twelve people were already a large number, and the county magistrate's face became even uglier. He was too lazy to ask them why they talked at night. The person was already dead, so it was useless to ask.

He asked his master to call Jiang Sheng and ask if there was any other solution.

Because so many people had died in recent days, the county magistrate was feeling uneasy, so he let Jiang Sheng live in his mansion to avoid any emergencies.

To put it bluntly, it's just for peace of mind.

The lawyer left.

While the master was going to invite Jiang Sheng, the yamen runner came in again, his tone was full of excitement: "Sir, there is a group of people outside, saying that they can solve your worries."

"It is said that it can drive away the evil spirits that have been haunting the city these days."

"what?"

The county magistrate was immediately alerted when he heard this: "Please come in quickly!"

"No, I will go to greet them myself."

……

After what happened at the inn, Lu Youzhi didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. She just mentioned to the gatekeeper that she could solve the evil spirit in An County. The gatekeeper immediately asked her to wait with excitement and went in to call people.

Tang Yan and Zhuang Sheng also found it a little unbelievable.

But soon, the two of them reacted, and Tang Yan said: "It seems that this county magistrate is a good official."

Zhuang Sheng also said: "It is true that it is easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the little ghosts."

Who said no?

A small shopkeeper was so arrogant, but the yamen runners under the county magistrate were not arrogant at all. Even when they did not tell them their purpose, they did not try to drive them away.

Lu Youzhi didn't say anything.

I just feel that after what happened at the inn, everyone’s expectations for An County have been lowered.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the yamen runner who had just gone in to deliver the message came back excitedly, followed by a middle-aged man in his thirties. Judging from his demeanor, he should be an official.

Thinking like this, the next moment, the middle-aged man quickened his pace and came to Lu Youzhi and the other two. "I am the county magistrate of An County. My surname is Zeng. I heard that you can expel the evil spirits in An County. Do you know what evil spirits are causing trouble in An County recently?"

County Magistrate Zeng's eyes lit up and he could tell at a glance that Lu Youzhi was the leader of the three. After saying this, his gaze fell on Lu Youzhi's face.

He is a smart man.

"Master Zeng." Lu Youzhi stepped forward and said, "Yesterday we rushed to An County..."

She told Magistrate Zeng about her arrival yesterday and what happened to He's mother last night. The more he listened, the more his eyes burned. After Lu Youzhi finished speaking, he suddenly realized and slapped his head: "It's my fault. This is not the place to talk. Miss, come into the mansion and have a gathering."

Magistrate Zeng brought Lu Youzhi and others into the county government. The county government was not big, and they soon arrived at the place where Lord Zeng usually handled cases. At this moment, there were two middle-aged men waiting there.

One was wearing green and the other was wearing white.

The man in green was ordinary, while the man in white was as ethereal as a fairy, untainted by the mundane world. After seeing Lord Zeng, he called out to him without even giving Lu Youzhi a glance.

As for the man in blue, he first bowed to Lord Zeng, and then asked Lord Zeng who Lu Youzhi was.

Lord Zeng did not answer the man in blue first, but introduced him to Lu Youzhi first.

"This is my master, his last name is Chen."

"This is the most powerful demon catcher in our An County, Master Jiang Sheng."

Then, he introduced Lu Youzhi to Master Chen and Jiang Sheng: "This is Miss Lu, the one who can solve the evil spirits in the city."

He said it with certainty, and a hint of surprise flashed in Master Chen's eyes. Jiang Sheng finally looked at Lu Youzhi, but just a glance, and then he turned his eyes away.

"Master Chen."

Lu Youzhi didn't care. She greeted Master Chen first, then greeted Jiang Sheng. Then, with the introduction of Master Zeng, she recounted what happened last night. At the end, she said, "In fact, they are not some great monsters. They are just some powerful ghosts."

"Just kill him."

Lu Youzhi looked calm and didn't take the ghosts in the city seriously at all.

Mr. Chen and Mr. Zeng were both very excited.

Neither of them doubted the truthfulness of Lu Youzhi's words. She spoke so sincerely, how could it be false?

The most important thing is that there is no point in her lying. Whether the ghost can be exorcised will be clear at night. What's more, even the demon catcher avoids this matter. If she is really an ordinary person, how could she come up and die?

What's more, even if what she said was false, they would not lose anything.

When Jiang Sheng looked at Lu Youzhi, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"It turned out to be a ghost..."

He murmured, "No wonder the demon catcher can't do anything to them."

Lu Youzhi pursed her lips and smiled, with a hint of arrogance in her smile.

……

After the two waiters took Manager Wang to the clinic to bandage his wounds, they could not wait to ask the waiters to take him to the yamen.

"I'm going to sue that bitch to death."

Shopkeeper Wang had a sinister look on his face: "I will never let her go."

The clerk was a little uneasy: "Boss, what if she finds out?"

Manager Wang sneered, "So what if she knows? Can she still get out of jail? Do you know that Zhang Yatou is my brother-in-law?"

"She has to die when I want her to. She really thinks she's so great just because she's a demon catcher."
