The full-level Demon Venerable was forced to obey

After eating, the three of them came to Luohe City County Government Office.

This county government building is really magnificent, with red walls, black tiles, wide doors and high steps, and two stone-carved Haechi elephants at the door, solemn and solemn.On the east side is a big drum with red skin and white belly, and a sign is erected beside it, with the words "Mingyuan Drum" written on it.

The three of Cheng Mochi neither appealed for grievances nor summoned them, nor did they enter the yamen directly.

When Chu Shiluo walked to the door, he was immediately stopped by the guards, and he took out a greeting card with the unique emblem of Wangchuan Xianmen on it.

Cheng Mochi looked at Hai Chuan, wondering what his reaction would be when he saw the emblem of Wang Chuan Xianmen.

But when he looked over, he found that the other party's face was pale, his eyes were fixed on the gate of the county government office, his anger was soaring, and he didn't notice the greeting card at all.

"Brother Haichuan." Cheng Mochi reached out and patted his shoulder.

The terrifying hostility was instantly suppressed, Hai Chuan came back to his senses, and smiled at Cheng Mochi, his face stiffened.

Cheng Mochi patted him on the shoulder again, and said with a smile, "Don't worry."

The words meant something, the smile on the corners of Hai Chuan's lips disappeared, and he only nodded slowly.

After seeing the mark, the guard over there immediately bowed down and saluted, and said respectfully: "Several immortal masters, wait for a while, and wait for the younger ones to report to my lord!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed into the inner hall, and after a while, the county magistrate walked out quickly, followed by a man also in official uniform, who should be the magistrate.

"My lower official Luohe City County Magistrate Wang Hancheng has seen the immortal master." The county magistrate saluted from a long distance away, panicking, "Several immortal masters are here, and I am sorry to welcome you from afar!"

Chu Shiluo said lightly: "It's okay."

Wang Hancheng wiped off his cold sweat, and smiled flatteringly: "It's good that the immortal masters don't blame you."

After finishing speaking, he quickly led the way for the three of them: "Everyone, please come in and rest first."

Several people followed him into the inner hall, and happened to see an old woman walking out with two officers and soldiers supporting her on the left and the right.

The old woman muttered something in her mouth, and she looked a little crazy.

Cheng Mochi took a few more glances, and the old woman felt his gaze, turned her head to look at him, and shouted: "I'm wronged! I'm wronged! I'm wronged, I'm wronged..."

The officers and soldiers quickened their pace and led the old woman away quickly.

Cheng Mochi frowned, looked away, and entered the inner hall with them.

There are several officers and soldiers standing on both sides of the inner hall, not looking sideways. Facing the door is a table and a chair, with the back of the chair leaning against a screen of flowers and birds.

Wang Hancheng led them around the screen, and a rather simple and elegant inner room came into view. There were many tables and chairs in the inner room, just like the front hall of an ordinary official's mansion.

Chu Shiluo and Wang Hancheng took the main seats, one on the left and one on the right, and Cheng Mochi and Haichuan also took the seats at the bottom.

"Pour some tea quickly." The county magistrate rushed to the county magistrate, his tone and demeanor were haughty, completely different from the flattery he had shown to them.

The county magistrate responded, and just as he was about to leave, he heard Chu Shiluo say: "No need, we'll just ask a few things and leave after we're done."

Wang Hancheng immediately laughed and said: "If you have any questions, just ask, the next official will know everything!"

Chu Shiluo nodded and looked at Cheng Mochi.

Cheng Mochi laughed and said, "Lord Wang, I wonder if there was a young man who reported the crime in the yamen a few days ago?"

"Young man?" Wang Hancheng thought for a while, "Many young men came to the county government to file a complaint. They either lost their own chickens, or they had never fought with their classmates. I don't know which one the Immortal Chief is asking?"

Cheng Mochi said: "A very beautiful young man in filial piety."

Just after asking, the county magistrate who was standing aside suddenly raised his eyes, with a complex expression of doubt and surprise on his face, which was very strange.

"Ah, you're talking about him." Wang Hancheng was stunned, "It was about five or six days ago. He came to report the crime. But he couldn't speak, and we didn't understand after making gestures for a long time, so we asked him to go back and find the adults at home. .”

Wang Hancheng wondered: "But it's strange to say that he didn't come back after he went back. I thought the matter was resolved. Why, did something happen?"

"Can't talk?" Cheng Mochi was stunned.But once you think about it, it will work.

Because he couldn't speak, he couldn't even cry out the pain when he was burned to death. Those villagers took it for granted, and it was also because the child couldn't make a sound.

Suddenly, Hai Chuan, who hadn't spoken a word, asked in a low voice, "Where's the pleadings?"

Several people in the room looked at him, Wang Hancheng paused, and said, "What paper?"

Hai Chuan looked up at him, his pale face and empty eyes made people feel chills down the back, and his voice was hoarse: "Did he take the pleadings? He can't speak, there must be pleadings to write about him, right?"

"There is no pleading paper." Wang Hancheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a dry smile, "If there is, don't we know what he is suing?"

Hai Chuan stared at him for a while, then suddenly sneered and stood up.

He saluted Chu Shiluo and Cheng Mochi successively, and said something inexplicable: "Thank you both."

Afterwards, he said again: "I'm not feeling well today, I'm going back to the inn first, you two don't have to worry about it."

After that, he turned around and strode away.

Wang Hancheng took the cold tea that had been placed by the table before, and took a sip, but his hands were shaking.

Cheng Mochi withdrew his gaze, looked at Chu Shiluo, and suddenly said with a smile: "Master, why do you think Brother Haichuan is in such poor health at such a young age?"

With a crisp "pop", the teacup in Wang Hancheng's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Both Cheng Mochi and Chu Shiluo looked over. Wang Hancheng's face was pale and his eyes were filled with fear. He tried to calm down and said, "I slipped my hand and disturbed the two elders."

The reaction of the county magistrate on the side was very interesting. He seemed to have remembered something very important. He looked at the direction where Hai Chuan left, and couldn't recover for a long time.

"It's nothing." Cheng Mochi smiled, "By the way, that old lady just came to complain, too?"

Wang Hancheng nodded: "It's a crazy woman. She said that her sister and brother-in-law were killed, but it has been three years since she came to report the crime. How can we investigate if the bones are gone?"

"That's it." Cheng Mochi said again, "Then can I ask her? I have some spells that can be traced back to the source, so that the lunatic can regain his sanity."

He doesn't have such skills, it's just to test Wang Hancheng's attitude, to see if he will let them interrogate him, and to see what else he is hiding.

Wang Hancheng lost the panic just now, but he was not impatient. He said, "The Immortal Elder was joking. How can you two condescend to the government of the human world?"

On the surface, it means that he is overqualified, but in fact, it points out the rules of the world and monks.

There are many monks, but they are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the world. This is the rule set by the current Emperor and Immortal Head a hundred years ago, lest they disturb the order of the world.

Cheng Mochi never cared about these rules in his previous life, and always went his own way, and it was quite uncomfortable to abide by the messy rules once he was reborn.

"Yes." Chu Shiluo said, "Then about the Luohe Village case, what information can I provide?"

Wang Hancheng was stunned: "Luohe Village? Are the two of you here to investigate the Luohe Village case?"

Chu Shiluo frowned slightly, and asked: "Isn't it the letter from your county government to Wang Chuan?"

"Yes." The county magistrate who hadn't spoken all this time suddenly answered, "It was me who disturbed me privately, and the county magistrate didn't know about it."

Indeed, at the end of that letter, the name of Li Jing, the county magistrate, was inscribed.

Wang Hancheng turned cold, and looked at Li Jing with gloomy eyes.

Cheng Mochi found it quite interesting. These two people were incompatible, and they obviously knew about the young man's affairs, but they didn't know what happened at that time, and who hurt the young man?

"Can you tell me about the situation?" Chu Shiluo asked.

Li Jing was about to speak when he was interrupted by Wang Hancheng.

"Master Immortal, how do we mortals know the inside story? I just informed you two because I heard the rumors outside. I was afraid that monsters would make trouble."

Wang Hancheng stood up, saluted Chu Shiluo with a smile, and continued: "It's better for the two immortal masters to ask those merchant boatmen who have seen it with their own eyes."

This is obvious and I don't want to say more, so Chu Shiluo no longer forced himself to get up and leave.

Li Jing hurriedly said: "I will send you two."

Then he went out with them.During the short distance, even if he had something to say, he couldn't say anything, so the three of them left the county office in silence.

"Two immortal masters, go slowly." Li Jing bowed and saluted.

Cheng Mochi raised his hand to support his arm, and said with a smile: "My lord, there is no need to salute, the two of us will go to meet those boatmen and merchants."

The two bid farewell to the county magistrate, and after walking about two blocks, they turned into an alley.

Chu Shiluo paused, and stretched out his hand towards Cheng Mochi, with the palm facing up.

Cheng Mochi glanced at his hand, then raised his eyes to meet his gaze, and then slowly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

As soon as he took it out, he was dragged away by Chu Shiluo and opened it.

It was Li Jing who secretly slipped it to Cheng Mochi, and he didn't know what it was, so he leaned over to watch it with Chu Shiluo.

"Is this the villager book of Luohe Village?" Cheng Mochi asked.

Chu Shiluo nodded.This piece of paper recorded the names and ages of all the villagers in Luohe Village, a total of 310 people.

Suddenly, Cheng Mochi and Chu Shiluo were stunned at the same time, because they saw a name written on the lower right corner of the paper.

Hai Chuan, 16 years old!
