Ruins of the past

After leaving Chen Gang and Qiao Zhi to monitor and cooperate with the villagers in Nanjian Village to complete the purchase, Chu Qiguang tied up and packed all the living corpses under the cellar, called Chichichicha, and sent them to the basin together.

Then the two Chongming birds made several trips back and forth, taking a total of fifteen villagers and the field mouse demon Jinji, as well as tools, dry food, and clothing to the basin, where they began to open up wasteland, dig ditches, and build shacks...

They were already more obedient under Chu Qiguang's coercion and inducement. When they arrived in the basin, there were two Chongming birds watching. Chu Qiguang was more assured that they would start construction and lay the foundation there first.

In the next few days, Chu Qiguang seized the time and went to several other villages in Qingyang County day and night, and together with the cat monsters and dog monsters, he personally solved some monster problems.

There was a sparrow monster who wanted to take revenge on the villagers because the forest was heavily logged. He pooped on the villagers' heads every day. After a 'heart-to-heart' talk with Chu Qiguang, they decided to build a new monster village together. The villagers thought that Chu Qiguang got rid of the bird demon for them.

A sheep demon who escaped from Beigan put on a rag and pretended to be a mountain god. He deceived the ignorant villagers in the mountains into paying monthly tributes and then ate him. He was directly killed by Chu Qiguang and sent to a Taoist temple to be burned.

There is also a cat demon who has become a fanatical follower of Taoist Xuanyuan. Because the Tianshi Sect does not accept monsters, it wants to create a new one! The one taught by Tianshi... was also arrested by Chu Qiguang and temporarily imprisoned in the basin.

There was a fish demon who wanted to set fire to the dyeing workshop because it had polluted the river water, but Chu Qiguang screamed and chirped the two Chongming birds and took him into the river in the basin.

There was a villager in Nangou Township who became a demon and fled into the mountains and forests because his wife ran away with someone. He killed people and demons, but Chu Qiguang also took care of him.

A group of thieves pretended to be monsters and committed crimes at the junction of Yongzhou and Qingyang counties next door. They jumped back and forth to avoid the officers, soldiers and Taoist priests from the two states, but they were all killed by Chu Qiguang.

After several consecutive days of slaying demons and demons, the entire Qingyang County seemed to be wiped out. Hundreds of thieves suddenly became famous and became the demon slayers and heroes among the people.

The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple and the officers and soldiers in the county government all felt that they seemed to be much more relaxed all of a sudden, and they spent more time drinking tea at home every day.

…

Early that morning, Chu Qiguang took Chen Gang, who helped carry the head of the thief's leader to the county government office.

The person who received him was the new head catcher Chen Feng. The other party handed the twenty taels of silver reward to Chu Qiguang and said politely: "Master Chu, I didn't take any of the 50 taels of silver reward for exterminating the demon, but Everyone in the county must share the benefits, and you understand that this is a rule..."

Chu Qiguang has been here for a few months, and he has already become very familiar with what they are doing. The imperial court almost does not allocate funds to local governments, and they have to handle all kinds of funds themselves. Corruption in officialdom has naturally become a common occurrence. .

Chu Qiguang took ten taels of silver and gave the remaining ten taels to the other party: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Chen. If it weren't for the information you provided, I wouldn't have been able to find this group of fake monsters, nor would I have thought that they were actually thieves. fake."

Chen Feng quickly refused, and Chu Qiguang pushed it over again. Chen Xianxian refused again, and Chu Qiguang pushed it over again.

After being pushed back and given three times for the twelve taels of silver, Chen Fengcai accepted the money with a look of helplessness and looked at Chu Qiguang with an even more kind look.

He originally thought that Chu Qiguang would rely on his relationship with the Wu family and Taoist temple to ask for more money, but he didn't expect that the other party was much more generous than the gentry he usually interacted with.

Chen Captou praised: "Young Master Chu is really generous. He has been killing demons and demons in the county these days. I really want to thank him for the people."

Chu Qiguang exchanged blows with the other party, and finally pointed out the real purpose of his trip: "Chen Captou, I have been jealous of evil since I was a child, and I can't tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes. In the past few days, I have been clearing away the demons, and I have realized that the people are suffering. .So I want to ask you a favor..."

Chen Captou didn't agree immediately, but just replied: "You say it."

Chu Qiguang said: "If there are traces of demons anywhere in the county from now on, please be the first to tell me. After the demons are eliminated, I will get half of the silver reward for the head."

‘Is there such a good thing? ’ Chen Captou was delighted when he heard this, but subconsciously he felt strange, how could anyone be willing to do such a thing? In the end, after much deliberation, I couldn't figure it out, so I could only look at Chu Qiguang with some admiration.

‘Sure enough, you are still young, so you have a heart of chivalry and justice. ’

After discussing the matter with Chen Captou, Chu Qiguang left the yamen and said to Chen Gang, "I have already reached an agreement with Chen Feng. When the government finds out about the demon, he will send someone to contact you directly. You have prepared all the above and below."

"I know, Brother Dog." Chen Gang nodded, and then secretly said excitedly: "The county government has settled it, and the Taoist temple has also reached an agreement before. If there are monsters, please inform us, and we will help them.

Now, with Baimi, Datou and the others snooping around for information, we can all know if any of the monsters in the county show up again before the government and Taoist temple take action, right? "

Chen Gang couldn't help but think of the Taoist temple in Qingyang County today. The Taoist priests were all paying attention to the Wangjiazhuang cemetery and the preparations for the merit library. They no longer paid attention to the small coins that were originally used to slay demons. Chu Qiguang was willing to work on his behalf to reconcile their wishes.

Chen Gang thought to himself: 'Is this all part of Brother Gou's calculation? As expected of Brother Dog, I still have a lot to learn. ’

Chu Qiguang glanced at Chen Gang: "Why are you so excited? Calm down, we want to eliminate harm for the people and help the villagers, not to engage in underground evil forces. Don't look like a villain every time you laugh, okay? "

Seeing Chen Gang shrinking his neck and returning to his normal appearance, Chu Qiguang shook his head and thought to himself: 'It's very suitable for Chen Gang to be a dead soldier, bodyguard, etc. Although he has made great progress in dealing with people and things, It's still not going well...'

When the two passed by the small courtyard where Wang Cailiang rented, they saw from a distance that the entire courtyard was sealed up.

What the Taoist temple announced to the public was that Granny Sun suffered a mental breakdown due to the death of her grandson, and finally became possessed. She attacked Wang Cailiang and the servants. Although in the end the Taoist priests from the Taoist temple successfully arrived and killed Granny Sun and saved Wang Cailiang, they still He was taken into a Taoist temple for exorcism.

Wang Chengwang, who knew about this incident, was almost frightened to death. Fortunately, he, the Hao family and the Taoist temple were now running a cemetery business together. He also found Chu Qiguang for help, only to find out that Wang Cailiang was only locked up in the Taoist temple for an exorcism ritual. At present, Nothing has gone wrong yet.

'Bewitched... be possessed by demons...'

Chu Qiguang muttered these two words in his heart: 'I have been very busy with the things at hand during this period, and it is time to ask Qiao Zhi about Mo Ran. ’

When the two of them walked to the small courtyard where they rented, they saw a group of villagers in ragged clothes and sallow faces waiting here.

As soon as they saw Chu Qiguang appear, this group of men, women, old and young immediately gathered around and said in all directions: "Mr. Chu! It was you who got rid of the monsters on that mountain for us!"

"The goat demon deceived us so miserably!"

"Mr. Chu, these are eggs collected by the village. They are not worth much money..."

Seeing the grateful eyes of the villagers and the basket of eggs they were given, Chu Qiguang gave in and finally accepted the eggs: "Folks, this is what I should do. If I encounter any monsters again in the future, , you can go to the Yamen and report it, they will inform me here, I will definitely come to help when I have time..."

"Chen Gang, it's a rare time for the folks to come here. You take them to a restaurant for a nice meal. I'll treat you. Don't be reluctant to give up your money."

The villagers cheered, praised and thanked Chu Qiguang again, and then followed Chen Gang to the restaurant.

After Chu Qiguang returned to the small courtyard, he picked up Qiao Zhi, who was still sleeping just now, and while stroking his cat's head, he chatted for a while, and then suddenly asked: "Master Qiao, is it true that magic dye will get worse and worse?" Is it more serious? How serious will it be?"
