Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 6 Disappearance

Hearing Su Hao's words, Zhang Jiatao was not annoyed either. He and the Su family were just cooperating. If he wanted Su Hao to make a move, he had to offer some benefits before he could ask Su Hao to make a move.

"Nephew, the thing is like this."

After pondering for a while, Zhang Jiatao said: "In the past three months, hunters in Baishu Township have often disappeared in Xiaowutai Mountain. Now dozens of people have disappeared, and many businessmen have disappeared. The files have filled the yamen. case, so Uncle Wei would like to ask you to go to Xiaowutai Mountain to find out what happened."

"Uncle Zhang, the disappearance of Orion is not a big deal, right? Send some arresters to investigate quickly, isn't it all right?"

After listening to Zhang Jiatao's words, Su Hao frowned and said, "Small Wutai Mountain is known to him. Xiaowutai Mountain is located at the confluence of Taihang Mountain, Yanshan Mountain and Hengshan Mountain. It belongs to the remaining vein of Hengshan Mountain. Because there are five prominent peaks in the east, west, south, north and middle. The mountain peak, also known as Mount Wutai, was later changed to Xiaowutai Mountain in order to distinguish it from Mount Wutai in Taiyuan Prefecture.

"Sent."

Zhang Jiatao shook his head and said: "I sent the head catcher Ding Xian to take people four or five times, and also brought the hunters over there, and almost searched Xiaowutai Mountain all over the place, but there were no people alive, no dead bodies, just a few clues. None, and these days, there are more and more missing people."

Speaking of this, Zhang Jiatao said with a solemn expression: "So I suspect that there are evil cultivators who are taking souls from Xiaowutai Mountain to practice evil methods, and I hope that my nephew can make a trip."

If it is in other places, then he can still keep the people from going, but Xiaowutai Mountain is the main commercial road leading to Xuanfu Town, and the entire Datong Prefecture does not know how many caravans will pass here. If there is a big trouble, He was also in trouble.

"In this case, my nephew will go there."

Hearing this, Su Hao smiled lightly.

"Then trouble my nephew. If my nephew can relieve Uncle Wei of this trouble, Uncle Wei will not be stingy."

Hearing Su Hao's response, Zhang Jiatao also heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't have to find Su Hao. Daming was able to sit firmly in the world, so he naturally had no shortage of means to deal with practitioners. As long as he reported to Datong Prefecture, experts would come over.

However, as the county magistrate of Yu County, if Fucheng had to contribute to everything, then he, the county magistrate, could do it well.

"The little nephew will arrange the family affairs first, and then go to the county government office to look at the case file."

Su Hao's expression is serious. He is not the kind of idiot who would be arrogant. Naturally, he would not rashly go to Xiaowutai Mountain. The fact that the other party can escape the search of the county government's police shows that the other party's strength should not be underestimated.

After the two were courteous again, Zhang Jiatao got up to say goodbye and leave.

...

"Forbe, go and help me get my things ready for going out first."

Seeing Zhang Jiatao's leaving back, Su Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed inwardly, one day without fame, he would not be able to get rid of Zhang Jiatao's side.

Daming's taxation system is actually a very fucked up thing. Zhang Juzheng's whipping method really gave a small group of people a sigh of relief.

However, after Zhang Juzheng died of illness, the one-whip method lost its most powerful supporters. After that, the corruption in the officialdom became more serious, and there were many disadvantages. In addition, duck pay, cow pay, grass insects and other weird pay also appeared openly.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Su family relies on Zhang Jiatao. The Su family is not like other big gentry families. The Su family has no one to support them in the officialdom. Now that they are protected by Zhang Jiatao, the Su family will not be able to receive taxes and additional pies. Once Zhang Jiatao is gone Guessing, those ghosts and monsters' taxes and bonuses can definitely add to his doubtful life.

It is estimated that before his three-year filial piety period ends and he takes part in the imperial examination, the Su family's property will be divided up.

Although he has stepped into the path of cultivation now, he is still unable to resist the general trend of the times. With his current cultivation level, he can control paper figurines against hundreds of people, but these hundred people are just ordinary people, and a random hundred households is enough to make him hate up.

Through the travel notes of several generations of Su family ancestors, Su Hao has a little understanding of the strength level of this world in the late Ming Dynasty. Although there are practitioners in this world, there is no such thing as the existence of a country that can be defeated by one person, and the level of strength is probably lower than Uncle Jiu Zombie Supreme is that little bit stronger.

Although there are practitioners and ghosts in this world, there are only a very small number of them after all, but the real masters are ordinary people. He has actually heard that a certain place is haunted from time to time in the past two years, but ghosts are like lottery jackpots. He heard a lot, saw a little, but nothing really happened to him. This is why he didn't find anything wrong with this world after traveling for two years.

"Master, things are ready."

Not long after, Fu Bo returned to the lobby with a small box in his hand.

After receiving the small box, Su Hao opened it. There were not many things inside, eight pieces of talismans, two bottles of detoxification pills, one bottle of gold sore medicine for treating traumatic injuries and hemostasis, a belt, two sleeve arrows and a bow crossbow.

These things are the life-saving things left by Su An. The eight talismans were obtained by Su An from Maoshan Taoist priests with a lot of money, and they are basically for protecting the body and warding off evil spirits.

Because they have practiced the secret art of paper figurines and consumed a lot of energy, the Su family is sick, and their physique is not as good as that of ordinary people. Therefore, in terms of saving their lives, the Su family has never been stingy, and even made bows and crossbows that are strictly prohibited by the court. arrive.

In the past few months, he has expended a lot of energy and spirit to refine his mana. Although he has Yang Yuan Jue and a large number of tonic medicines to make up for it, it is easy to destroy and difficult to build. Now he is also a sick child, and it is estimated that Can beat a kid.

With these things and the art of turning paper into a weapon, at least he still has the power to fight back when he encounters an enemy.

……

After arranging the affairs at home, Su Hao headed towards the county office.

The county office is not far from Su's house, only two streets away. When Su Hao came to the gate of the county office, there were already arresters waiting at the door.

"Patriarch Su, Butou Ding is already waiting inside!"

Seeing Su Hao's arrival, the policeman who was waiting at the gate of the county government quickly went up to greet him. As a county government policeman, he naturally knew the identity of the Su family.

"Lead the way."

Su Hao said indifferently, and then stepped into the county office.

Following the arresters came to the arresting squad on the east side, Su Hao saw Ding Xian, the head arrester of Yu County, a man with a straight nose, profound facial features, and a strong physique.

"Patriarch Su!"

Seeing Su Hao, Ding Xian bowed his hands first. Although it was the first time he saw Su Hao, he did not dare to underestimate Su Hao. The Su family had already taken root in Yu County before Zhang Jiatao took office in Yu County. Over the past ten years, Whether it is Zhang Jiatao or the previous county magistrate, they relied on the Su family to suppress the ghosts in Yu County and maintain the peace of Yu County. Even the county officials in the surrounding counties often spent a lot of money to ask the Su family to help.

"Captain Ding!"

Ding Xian was very courteous, so Su Hao naturally wouldn't put on airs, and returned the gift with a smile.

"Patriarch Su, the files of the disappearance case are here. Patriarch Su can take a look first. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

After a few polite words, Ding Xian walked to a bookshelf and took down a stack of files.
