Chapter 60 The Cat Demons of Qingyang County

Hao Yongtai was slightly taken aback when he heard Chu Qiguang's request, but he didn't expect the other party to make such a request.

But now in this world, all kinds of knowledge have always been very expensive, and books are difficult for the lower class to access. The books and materials collected by the major families are very far away to the common people.

Thinking about it this way, it's normal for Chu Qiguang to want to borrow the Hao family's books.So Hao Yongtai confirmed to Chu Qiguang again that the other party didn't want to read the secret books of martial arts and Taoism, but just an ordinary subset of classics and history.

He also thought that the other party was also studying in the Yinglue Hall, so he could be regarded as his classmate.

So Hao Yongtai nodded and agreed, and said: "Brother Chu, it's all for borrowing books. You can come and report my name directly in the next month. As for the 200 taels, if I accept it, the Hao family will lose face in the county." It's all gone."

Seeing that Hao Yongtai not only agreed with him to come to borrow the library for a month, but also didn't want 200 taels of silver, Chu Qiguang was slightly happy, and thought to himself: "What a good man, he is much more reliable than your brother." '

Next, Hao Yongtai specially arranged a banquet in the restaurant, where Chu Qiguang, Taoist Fayuan, and He Xian were invited to the banquet.Chu Qiguang was in the middle to coordinate and adjust the atmosphere. From time to time, he chatted with Hao Yongtai about martial arts, with Fayuan Taoist priest about monsters, and with He Xian about investigating cases.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Qiguang really got in touch with Hao Yongtai, He Xian, and Taoist Fayuan, and half-footed into the wealthy circle in the county.

The fox that Gu Wei caught was also released by Chu Qiguang, and Qiao Zhi took it back to the mountain.

……

That night, as soon as Chu Qiguang returned to the small courtyard, Wang Cailiang greeted him with a face of shock, and yelled: "Brother Chu! I heard from Li Suanshou in the household that you solved the blood corpse case, but it is true that you have solved the blood corpse case." ?"

Chu Qiguang waved his hand, and said with a natural expression: "Oh, it's just a coincidence."

Wang Cailiang heard that Chu Qiguang smelled of alcohol, and guessed: "You just came back from the banquet? Was it invited by the Hao family?"

After thinking about it, Chu Qiguang knew that he couldn't hide it, and there was no need to hide it, so he said, "It was Hao Yongtai who invited Daoist Fa Yuan, Mr. He Xianhe, and me."

Wang Cailiang looked at Chu Qiguang enviously, although he often boasted in front of Chu Qiguang, saying that he had a lot of contacts and knew so many people in the county.

But he knew that the landlord circle he was in was not popular in Qingyang County, and the Hao Yongtai, He Xian, and Fa Yuan that Chu Qiguang was now joining were the high-end circles and the circles he had always yearned for.

Especially the conflict between Hao's family and their family's ancestral grave, Wang Cailiang wanted to find an opportunity to resolve it.

Wang Cailiang tentatively asked: "Brother Chu, next time you guys still drink, can you bring me along?"

Chu Qiguang patted Wang Cailiang on the shoulder and said, "Need to say? You and I are brothers. If you want to have a drink together, of course I will take you with me. I know you are worried about the Hao family and your family competing for land. I will take this matter with you." Will help."

He added in his mind: 'It depends on how much money your family can pay. '

"Brother Chu!" Wang Cailiang was grateful again, looking at Chu Qiguang in front of him, thinking that the other party has always been good at bragging, took good care of him, and helped him cure dog poison. Don't forget to support him...

"You are so benevolent!" Wang Cailiang only thought it would be great to be brothers with Chu Qiguang.

Wang Cailiang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother Chu, brother, I will definitely not embarrass you. When the time comes, we two brothers will travel across Qingyang, and we will pass the martial arts exam together."

Then Wang Cailiang made an appointment with Chu Qiguang to have a drink together tomorrow and left happily.

When Chu Qiguang returned to his room, he saw Qiao Zhi lying on the bed with his stomach turned over, looking exhausted.

"Master Qiao worked hard today." Chu Qiguang sat on the bed, rubbing Qiao Zhi's belly while thinking about today's gains and losses.

"I made 200 taels of silver, and the silver in my hand has returned to more than 900 taels of blood."

"I have established relationships with the Hao family, He Xian, and Fa Yuan, which can be regarded as expanding my network."

"However, there is still one last result confiscated in this blood corpse case."

Chu Qiguang smiled while pinching his chin: "Master Qiao, I would like to trouble you to find those cat monsters under Lin Nan's subordinates tomorrow. We are going to integrate the cat forces in Qingyang County."

As soon as Qiao Zhi heard this, he didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he immediately raised his ears and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Chu Qiguang smiled and said: "Of course I adopt these cute stray cats. They can all be my godsons and goddaughters. We will be a family in the future."

Qiao Zhi muttered, "You have to treat them well and don't mess around."

Chu Qiguang said: "How can I mess around, do you think my sons are not doing well now? They have jobs every day, and they also include board and lodging.

There are all kinds of meat and meals bought by the servant Chen Gang from various restaurants.

I live in the ruins of a Buddhist temple in the county seat, with a large space and plenty of sunshine. It is only a 5-minute walk from the CBD of the county.

The prospect is even brighter with me, and it is to strive for the integration of the monster race into the human race world and the creation of a harmonious society in the future..."

Qiao Zhi listened to Chu Qiguang's non-stop bragging, so that he couldn't understand, so he could only pretend to nod: "Well, that's good."

Chu Qiguang smiled, thinking that in the future, the dog monster would walk down the street with one hand, follow to find out information, and the cat monster climb over the wall and climb the stairs with the other hand to collect information, and then he would be able to deploy an intelligence network under the entire Qingyang, which would be like a tiger with wings added.

But Chu Qiguang didn't see the direction, Qiao Zhi was licking his calm hair non-stop, thinking in his heart: "It's okay... Chu Qiguang's temper is much better now, and he should be fine after meeting cat monsters..." Bar? '

Late at night the next day, Chu Qiguang followed Qiao Zhi over the wall and left the yard, avoiding the night patrol team all the way, and came to the newly rented yard.

These days, George fights with stray cats every day, and then feeds the stray cats. With his identity as a cat demon, his powerful martial arts, and Chu Qiguang's constant food for him behind his back, he can be regarded as a cat in Qingyang County. He has gained a firm foothold in the demon circle.

This made the cat demon group who had been a little flustered after losing Lin Nan's leadership settle down again.

And today was the day when Qiao Zhi invited the cat demons to meet Chu Qiguang in the newly rented yard.

To be on the safe side, Chu Qiguang shouldn't meet these cat demons, relying on Qiao Zhi to contact and direct them.

But Qiao Zhi... Chu Qiguang was always dissatisfied with his work efficiency in this area, and there was a faint tendency to favor cat monsters too much, which made Chu Qiguang feel a little unable to command these cat monsters.

Considering the importance of the early stage of entrepreneurship, Chu Qiguang decided to take a little risk and come to meet this team of cat monsters in person.

……

The yard that Chu Qiguang rented has long been deserted. After he hired someone to clean it these few days, he moved in some homes, and it was considered clean and tidy.

There are more than a dozen demon cats gathered in the center of the yard, some are sitting and licking their fur, some are lying in a daze, and some are playing and playing with each other. It looks like a group of ordinary wild cats, while the surrounding ground There were several plates of half-eaten leftovers and water, all of which Qiao Zhi asked Chen Gang to deliver these days.

When Chu Qiguang and Qiao Zhi climbed over the wall and entered the small courtyard, they saw such a scene.

But the moment Chu Qiguang appeared, the cat monsters jumped up one by one like a frightened flock of sheep, and fled in all directions in an instant.
