Thinking of this, Zhang Lingshan hid Xiong Zhi's physical training technique and the banknotes in this courtyard.

He looked at his body again and found that there was no blood splashed on Mon Bear, and he felt relieved.

OK.

That’s it for today.

Guessing that the body of the single bear would be discovered soon, Zhang Lingshan stopped busy and adjusted his breathing, waiting for someone to blow the whistle.

Chirp!

As expected, a sharp whistle sounded in the night sky.

Zhang Lingshan rushed over immediately, and happened to meet Ma Hong, Liu Feng and others on the way, and everyone rushed there together.

I saw that Yan Yuqing had arrived early and was staring at the body on the ground with a gloomy face, wondering what he was thinking.

"Is it a single bear?"

Someone who had just arrived asked in a low voice.

One person said: "I don't know. Without Mr. Yan's personal confirmation, who dares to say it's Mon Xiong?"

"Master Yan doesn't seem happy, I'm afraid he's not a single bear."

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't disturb Mr. Yan's thinking."

Everyone murmured for a while, and when they saw Yan Yuqing's cold eyes sweeping over him, they all quickly kept silent and lowered their heads.

Then Yan Yuqing said: "Who killed this man?"

"It's a subordinate..."

Hou Cheng took a step forward. He was frightened by Yan Yuqing's eyes and did not dare to take the lead. He quickly changed his words and said: "It was discovered by my subordinates. When he came, this man was lying here with a human skin mask on his face. I tore off the mask and felt a bit like a bear, so I blew the whistle."

"Did you see anyone suspicious?"

Yan Yuqing asked again.

Hou Cheng shook his head: "My subordinates didn't see it. There was only this body at that time..."

Just as he was speaking, his face changed with horror, and he saw Yan Yuqing rushing over with a ferocious look on his face. He suddenly trembled and fell to his knees: "Everything I say is true."

Yan Yuqing paused suddenly, as if he was just joking, and his murderous aura suddenly subsided and said: "I know. It seems that a righteous man killed Shanxiong and brought the body back to the Yamen."

"yes!"

Everyone responded quickly.

Zhang Lingshan slowly approached the crowd and helped carry the body.

No matter whether the bear's blood had been splashed on the body before, the blood would naturally be on it when the body was lifted, and the doubts were eliminated.

But he seemed to be worrying too much.

Yan Yuqing's mind seemed to have drifted far away, and she was walking behind with a frown on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.

soon.

Everyone returned to the Yamen.

Yan Yuqing waved his hand: "Everyone has been busy all night, let's go and have a rest. Mono Xiong has been killed, everyone has merit, and each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. I will ask you Dianshi to collect it tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Yan."

Everyone was overjoyed and went back to rest happily.

In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the Yamen lobby.

Yan Yuqing, middle-aged scholar Dong Shan and maid Xiao Wei.

"What do you think?" Yan Yuqing asked.

Dong Shan stepped forward to check the wounds on the corpse, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said: "Kill with one knife! And it was the most basic demon-killing knife technique of our Demon Suppression Division. Anyone who can practice to this level can only be killed in our Demon Suppression Division." He is definitely not an unknown person."

Xiaowei was surprised: "You said there are traitors in our Demon Suppression Division?"

Dong Shan shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. Maybe the other party secretly learned the magic sword technique and deliberately used this sword technique to kill Mono Xiong in order to confuse the public. But in any case, this person's strength should not be underestimated, and he is extremely well hidden. , He is very thoughtful, and apart from this knife, there are no traces exposed. If he wants to pass this line, he is afraid that he will not be able to find out. "

"Is it possible that the murderer is one of those government officials?" Xiaowei guessed, "If the other party wanted to kill Shan Xiong, he could do it at any time. Why did he have to kill him at night and deliberately leave it on the road to be discovered by those government officials."

Dong Shan said flatly: "It can't be the government officials! Those government officials are very poor. Asking them to patrol is just a bait to scare the snakes and lure the snakes out of their holes. Mr. Qi Yan just tried it out, and the good-for-nothing named Hou Cheng scared everyone else. Sluggish. Even if they can act, they will never be able to hide from Master Yan's sharp eyes. "

"but……"

What else does Xiaowei want to say?

Yan Yuqing said with finality: "Okay, don't argue. No matter who killed Mon Xiong, their purpose is the same. They are worried that we will continue to investigate along Mon Xiong's line. This just proves that we did the right thing! They are afraid, The dog jumped over the wall."

"Master Yan is wise!" Dong Shan shouted.

"How can we find the person behind Mon Bear?" Xiaowei asked.

Yan Yuqing said calmly: "There is no need to look for him, he will be exposed himself."

Dong Shan suddenly realized: "I know, it's Xiong's body-refining technique! Now as long as you keep an eye on Xiong's body-refining technique, you can find the person behind Shanxiong."

"hehe."

Yan Yuqing shook his head and smiled, noncommittal.

Zhang Lingshan didn't know that Yan Yuqing and the others were discussing this.

He only knew that he had done a big thing, and this big thing must not be known to others, otherwise he would not be able to explain how his magic-killing knife skills improved so quickly.

Although he killed a single bear with his own hands, he was rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver.

But you can't take the money, unless you have a headache, you will throw yourself into the trap.

Besides, Dan Xiong had more than ten thousand taels of silver in his pocket. He had already made a lot of money, so there was no need to seek death.

The only pity is that the money is still hidden in that yard for the time being. Not only can it not be spent, but it has not even been dared to be taken out recently.

Fortunately, there is still plenty of money to plunder dirty places, and it is completely enough, so there is no need to take risks.

‘In short, there will be no peace until Yan Yuqing leaves.’

Zhang Lingshan sighed inwardly.

No one spoke all night.

At noon, Zhang Lingshan returned to the yamen with everyone and received 100 taels of silver from the Dianshi.

When they learned that Yan Yuqing and the other two had already left Jincheng, everyone cheered and jumped for joy, and the group clamored to go out for a drink to relax.

These days, they were suppressed by Yan Yuqing and worried about being killed by Shan Xiong, so everyone was on edge.

After waiting for Yan Yuqing to leave, how could they not have a good time?

Zhang Lingshan was no exception.

But relaxation was an illusion, and he was mainly trying to fit in and avoid leaking any flaws.

God knows whether Yan Yuqing and the other two left for real or not. Shan Xiong’s death was full of doubts for others, and Yan Yuqing was a ghost if he didn’t doubt it.

You have to know that Yan Yuqing had tried to test Hou Cheng at that time, so who knows if this departure was a test.

Anyway, I have to be more relaxed and never take it lightly.

"Brother Shan, I know you are all tired, but we still have to do the night watch."

At the wine table, the squad leader Wang Yue put his arm around Zhang Lingshan's shoulder and said.

Zhang Lingshan was drunk and smiled: "Without Shan Xiong causing this trouble, is night watch still a problem?"

Wang Yue said: "That being said, we still can't be careless recently, what if Shan Xiong has accomplices. So in the next few days, Ma Hong and I will also patrol together. This is the order of the Dianshi himself."

"The Dianshi personally ordered, so we really have to take it seriously. But it's still early in the evening, so continue eating and drinking."

"Haha, drink!"

Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was rare to be free and unrestrained.

That night.

Wang Yue, Ma Hong and Zhang Lingshan were divided into three groups, each with their men patrolling the outer city.

This time, Liu Feng and the other two did not ask them to go to any brothel or gambling house, but followed Zhang Lingshan obediently.

It seems that the matter of Shan Xiong still has an impact on them, and the Dianshi personally ordered everyone to take it seriously, so the three did not dare to be lazy.

Zhang Lingshan didn't care about the three people's behavior.

What he cared about was that halfway through, there was an extra pair of eyes staring at them.

'Is it Yan Yuqing? '

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself, but quickly rejected this guess. Yan Yuqing was definitely not the kind of person who would secretly follow, so the eyes were most likely Dong Shan and Xiao Wei.

Of course, it could also be other unknown people, Zhang Lingshan couldn't be sure for a while.

"On the top of the mountain, I dare not go forward. There is a blue dirty land ahead."

Liu Feng suddenly said nervously.

Zhang Lingshan said: "Isn't there still some distance? What are you afraid of? The more dangerous the place, the more likely it is to have problems."

Hao Yun said anxiously: "So we have to change the way quickly."

"Of course, do you think I want to rush in and die? You have been saying bad things about me behind my back, what young people are eager for quick success and reckless, do you think I don't know?" Zhang Lingshan snorted.

Hao Yun looked terrified: "It's unfair, Shantou, someone slandered me."

"Hehe."

Zhang Lingshan sneered and didn't bother with him. Suddenly, his mind moved. While talking to Hao Yun, he turned his head inadvertently, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Who is it!"

Swish.

He quickly chased after him.

He used 20% of his full speed.

Even so, he successfully caught up with the figure. He saw a delicate girl in a floral dress, standing at the corner, looking at him with a faint smile.

Zhang Lingshan was stunned and asked in surprise: "Xiao, Lord Xiaowei, why are you here?"

"Wait a minute on the hilltop, is there really anyone there? We didn't see any movement."

Liu Feng and the other two also came over and saw Xiaowei standing there. They immediately shouted in panic: "Xiao Xiaoxiao, Lord Xiaowei, didn't you return to the Demon Suppression Division with Lord Yan?"

Xiaowei said indifferently: "I'm worried that there are still accomplices of Shanxiong, so I'm secretly protecting you."

"Thank you so much, Lord Xiaowei. We are flattered."

Liu Feng hurriedly flattered.

Xiao Wei ignored him and looked at Zhang Lingshan, saying, "Good reaction. You are already quite strong at your age. Even if there are Shan Xiong's accomplices, you can hold on with the combined attack technique."

Zhang Lingshan said, "I'm ashamed. I almost bumped into Lord Xiao Wei."

"Haha. With your strength, you can't bump into me."

Xiao Wei smiled lightly, with disdain in her eyes, and said, "Okay, get busy with your work."

"Yes."

The four of them hurriedly left.

Because they were worried that Xiao Wei was still secretly supervising them, the four of them worked diligently until dawn before returning to the yamen.

"Oh, I'm so tired."

Liu Feng came to the Zhuangban class room and immediately lay down against the wall, muttering, "The people in the Demon Suppression Division are really boring. Shan Xiong has been executed, but they still don't leave. They have to spy on us, making it impossible for us to even slack off all night."

"You are also being supervised?"

Ma Hong was surprised when he heard Liu Feng's complaint.

"Yeah, why should I say that? You were also..."

After everyone talked, they found that it was Xiao Wei who was supervising them, and they couldn't help but scold this woman's nerves.

Zhang Lingshan followed suit and was relieved.

In order to test them, Xiao Wei deliberately revealed a flaw that could be discovered by flesh-refining warriors. If they couldn't find it, it just proved that there was a problem.

Luckily, I had an idea and made the right judgment, otherwise I would be finished if I really pretended to know nothing.

‘Although I have passed the test, who knows whether the other party will give up. Anyway, I can’t absorb the evil spirits and refine them at will recently. ’

Zhang Lingshan sighed secretly.

But it doesn’t matter. As long as Yan Yuqing doesn’t stimulate the blood and qi, those dirty places will not be destroyed, and the energy points will be his sooner or later.

Thinking of this, he calmed down. In addition to keeping watch every day, he practiced the blood claw hand and red cloud swordsmanship in the rest of the time except resting.

Because other martial arts are relatively difficult to practice now, only these two are the most cost-effective.

Moreover, he visited Hong Zhengdao every two days. In addition to eating the unknown meat to increase energy, he could also get Hong Zhengdao’s guidance. The blood claw hand and red cloud swordsmanship have also improved to a certain extent.

Soon, half a month passed in such a stable and peaceful life.

Although Zhang Lingshan failed to continue to refine the evil spirits, he settled down instead. His aura became more stable, and all the martial arts he had improved before were integrated.

On this day, he came to visit Hong Zhengdao as usual.

But he heard Hong Zhengdao suddenly say: "The people from the Demon Suppression Division have completely left. With them here, everyone has been tied up these days. The four major families in the inner city couldn't stand it, so they asked someone to transfer Yan Yuqing away."

"How did the master know?"

Zhang Lingshan was surprised.

He was overjoyed in his heart. Since Hong Zhengdao said so, there must be a basis. He had endured for half a month and finally succeeded.

Hong Zhengdao did not answer his question, but said: "Someone wants to see you. Go to the third courtyard on the east side of Juyuan Road tonight. He will wait for you there."

"Someone wants to see me?"

Zhang Lingshan was full of doubts and said: "Master, can you conveniently reveal who it is?"

Hong Zhengdao said: "You can trust this person completely. If you think his proposal is good for you, you can do it. If not, reject him and don't ask for my opinion."

"Yes."

Zhang Lingshan became more and more curious.

Master Hong certainly would not harm himself. Everyone is now a family on the same boat. They will prosper together and suffer together.

Since Master Hong believes in the other party, I just need to believe in him unconditionally.
