Chapter 155 Four: Demon Track
When Ning Guangxing was led up to the steps of the county mansion by the subordinate officials, he saw two officials in green evil clothes and demon hunting clothes waiting by the door.

Shenzha Si Zuojin's demon hunters hunted down witches, ghosts, foxes, traces of ghosts, and exorcisms.But there are often Tiqi, who is the god of the gods, Si Youjin, hiding their identities and spying on the privacy of court officials.

As an inspector in Qizhou, although Ning Guangxing's job as a picket officer is good and evil, he really hates the eagle and dog banned by the god Zha Siyou.He glanced at the demon hunter, frowned slightly, and subconsciously helped the Xiezhi crown on his head when he stepped over the threshold.

Behind the door is a shabby wall with relief sculptures. There is a man from Shenzhasi wearing a green suit, who is sent out from the west by two subordinates.

When Ning Guangxing saw this person, he put on a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Lieutenant Chen."

"Ning patrol press." Chen Haochu, the captain of Shenzhasi, greeted Ning Guangxing, "Have you found any clues?"

Ning Guangxing said with emotion: "Where can I find any clues? The matter of the ghost soldiers crossing the border depends on your gods."

"Ning Xunyong is being modest." Chen Haochu shook his head and smiled, "I heard that there are demons in Qingling County, and I am going to lead someone to investigate. If Ning Xunyong has any other news, you must let me know in advance."

Ning Guangxing said seriously: "That's natural."

Chen Haochu nodded, said goodbye, and passed Ning Guangxing.Ning Guangxing passed through the east side of the shadow wall, and was led by the subordinate officials through the third house of the official household ceremony on the east side, and entered the second hall of the county government.

The white Tibetan flag was hung in the hall, and Zheng Junshan, the Ming mansion of Qingling County, was facing out the window, thinking about something worriedly.He looked like a man in his prime, with sun-drenched yellow skin, a half-foot green beard, and an elegant demeanor.He was wearing a green robe, and the hem of his white clothes was stained with mud. The hour hadn't passed yet, but he seemed to have just returned from the fields.

"Ning Xun, please sit down."

Zheng Junshan had just finished speaking with Captain Shenzhasi, walked to the table, and took a sip of tea.Ning Guangxing shook his head and said, "I won't sit down."

"Oh, why are you so anxious?" Zheng Junshan put down his tea bowl and looked at Ning Guangxing.

"Some news came from Xuanquan this morning." Speaking of this, Ning Guangxing looked at Zheng Junshan meaningfully. Seeing that Zheng Junshan's expression was not disturbed, he pointed out: "It's Zuo Rongwei Xuanquan Mansion The news came."

Xuanquan Mansion is twelve miles west of Qingling County. It is the military mansion of Zuo Rongwei. Zheng Junshan showed a puzzled look, "What news?"

Ning Guangxing said: "The incident of ghost soldiers crossing the border seems to be related to Xuanquan Mansion."

Zheng Junshan pondered for a while, then said solemnly: "Is there such a thing?"

"I just heard some rumors." Ning Guangxing shook his head, looking at Zheng Junshan, "However, I heard that the captain of Xuanquan Mansion Zhechong Jiang Fangyi and you are close friends of Zheng Ming Mansion, so didn't Zheng Ming Mansion get some news? "

Zheng Junshan frowned, "What does Ning Xun mean by this, just say what you have to say."

Ning Guangxing said: "Yesterday I went to Bawa Temple and asked about the ghost soldiers crossing the border. Although Bawa God signed a letter, the content was ambiguous. This is about the demons in Dayong territory. It should be in the hands of the gods, but the eight wax gods are vague about this matter. What Zheng Mingfu means is that the ghost master's way is amazing, and the gods here dare not offend, which makes sense. But last night I thought again, there is a Things like this are not under the control of Shinto, they are things in the temple..."

Having said that, Ning Guangxing paused.Although it is not stated explicitly, the meaning is already obvious.If the matter involves the government, the gods will not get involved.

Zheng Junshan looked at Ning Guangxing, "It turns out that Ning Xunyan suspected me."

Ning Guangxing said with a smile: "Zheng Ming's family was born in the Qianyuan Academy, possessing supernatural powers, and he was promoted three times in just two years. If there is no accident, the next step is to be an official of the fifth rank and be promoted to the temple. It can be said that the future is boundless. If I were smarter, I would not dare to offend people like Zheng Mingfu, but I am a stupid person. You can't be ashamed of your conscience when you are in the state inspector's seat. Zheng Mingfu's reputation is well-known, if you are innocent, you probably won't blame me for it."

Zheng Junshan said lightly: "Of course not."

Ning Guangxing said: "Then I can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, he bid farewell to Zheng Junshan.

He had just crossed the threshold when Zheng Junshan's voice came from behind: "The situation in Qingling County is now in dire straits. If Ning patrols waste their energy on me, it will only be a waste of effort."

"I hope so too."

Ning Guangxing smiled, turned and left, passed through the hall, and disappeared outside the door.

……

Chen Haochu, the captain of Shenzhasi, left the gate of the county mansion, and two demon hunters followed behind him.When Xiangdong walked to a deserted place beside Qimei Lane, a demon hunter whispered: "Xiao Si found the paper maker in the market, and the paper maker naturally refused to say anything, but Xiao Xiao Si sneaked into his house and found rice in the rice jar, and found this."

The demon hunter said, and handed out something.

Chen Haochu took it over and saw that it was a somewhat uneven paper shell, painted indigo.

He asked, "What about Yaozong?"

The demon hunter replied: "It's in the east of the county."

Chen Haochu nodded. He came to Qingling County three days ago. Although the case of the ghost master crossing the border has begun to emerge, it is still confusing. It is not clear whether it is a man-made disaster or a demon disaster.

"Walk."

……

Lieutenant Shenzhasi and two demon hunters left Qimei Lane and passed through the Qingling County sacrificial field. One demon hunter lit a Youdu incense.

A wisp of blue smoke emerges from the red light of the incense head, and the westerly wind blows through the alley, but this wisp of blue smoke is like a white thread, being drawn eastward by an invisible hand.

The three of them walked through the narrow alleyway, stepped over the rotten water in the ditch, and after about half an hour, they saw a house with gray walls and black tiles.The house was well-repaired, but there were few people around, with dead trees facing the pond, the westerly wind was bleak, and there was a smell of rotting corpses everywhere.

This is the yizhuang built by the Jiang family in Qingling County. There are schools, ancestral halls, and free houses. It was originally a place for the Jiang family to live.Gradually, some unburied corpses were also moved here.

The stench lingers and the poison of corpses pervades the room. Ordinary people are prone to get plague if they stay for a long time. Usually, almost no one comes near it.At this time, there was a faint cry for help in the Yizhuang.Youdu incense has been burned to the bottom, and the cigarette is pointing to Yizhuang.Chen Haochu and his subordinates looked at each other, took out the yellow silk with the mantra of purifying heart painted on it, covered his nose and tied it behind his head, he drew out the horizontal knife, stepped into the Yizhuang with the open gate, and saw several figures on the west side.

Taking a closer look, two men are pressing a boy on the threshold of the school, as if pressing an animal waiting to be slaughtered.The boy was still calling for help, but a man slashed his neck with a knife, blood gushed out, and he lost most of his voice immediately, and the man stabbed the boy's right chest with a knife again.The other person looked a little frightened, but dipped some blood with his finger and put it in his mouth.

These two people didn't know whose family's boy was arrested, and they hid in this sparsely populated Yizhuang, intending to kill and eat meat.

Anger welled up in Chen Haochu's chest, and he roared, "What a guts!"

He raised his knife and ran over, but a figure appeared on the west side of Yizhuang.

Chen Hao's eyes were dimmed at the beginning, and he saw figures flashing by, and the two men flew to the two sides, their jaws raised high, and a few blood-stained white teeth flew out of their mouths.

The two men slammed into the wall twice, and passed out.

A scholar in Tsing Yi appeared under the threshold of the school and helped the boy half up.

Chen Haochu was secretly startled, and his footsteps stopped.He stepped forward again and saw the boy's chest rise and fall slightly, then he lost his breath.

"It's hopeless." Li Chan shook her head and sighed.

He looked back at Chen Haochu, and saw that blue casual suit.He glanced at the two fainted people again, and said, "These two are entrusted to you."

Chen Haochu turned his head and winked at a demon hunter in Jiang, who then took off the hemp rope around his waist.When the demon officials kidnapped people, Chen Haochu secretly looked at the man in Tsing Yi. This man had a dagger hanging from his waist, and he looked young and weak.But from the glimpse just now, it can be seen that his martial arts are profound and unpredictable.However, the man in Tsing Yi didn't seem to have the means to protect himself from the poison of the corpse.

Chen Haochu said: "Your step is handsome, but this Yizhuang is not a good place. There are corpses and evil spirits hiding here. Although you have some martial arts skills, you can't deal with evil spirits. Leave quickly, and the next Let me handle the matter."
