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

Chapter 99
Mengyin County Government.

In the execution room, Su Hao flipped through the file about the mud ghost case, while the county magistrate and the head catcher of Mengyin County were by his side, waiting for Su Hao's questioning.

"He Xiancheng, are these the only eight cases related to mud ghosts?"

Su Hao lightly tapped on the table. There are more than 200 cases of the mud ghost case, and more than 30 counties are affected. In each county, several people have accidents because of the mud ghost. The days of the cases are different. The longest one can be Dating back three years ago, the case of Wang Bing in Luqiao Village was one of the earliest cases discovered.

Most of the previous cases were considered to be the work of lonely ghosts. It was not until the mud ghosts killed more and more people that they killed more and more people, and finally attracted the attention of the Jinyiwei Yamen in various prefectures. After a thorough investigation, the death was discovered. There are more than a hundred people, and there are more than 100 people who have suffered serious yang qi injuries.

This case should have been handled by the Jinyiwei Yamen in Shandong, but Xu Hongru's rebellion restrained the strength of the Jinyiwei Yamen in various prefectures. After Xu Hongru was captured, the various government yamen were busy hunting down the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, and were unable to investigate this case. , and worried that if it drags on for too long, the mud ghost will become a climate, and in the end it can only be hanged in the mission hall.

"Su Baihu, these are the eight cases."

He Xiancheng took out a dossier: "This case happened half a month ago. The person who died was a villager named Wang Wu in Tao Village. According to Li Zheng, this Wang Wu was a herbal farmer who often lived in the village on weekdays. Mengshan was picking medicine, and I heard from other villagers that Wang Wu had a relative and daughter who escaped from the military disaster and came to join him. However, half a month ago, Wang Wu was found dead at home, his yang energy was sucked dry, and he died in a state of death. It was miserable, and the woman the villagers said was nowhere to be seen."

Su Hao said indifferently: "Then did you find any clues?"

"No."

He Xiancheng shook his head.

"Take me to see the body."

Hearing He Xiancheng's words, Su Hao was not surprised at all. He had expected this kind of thing a long time ago. If even some county policemen could find clues, the mud ghost would have been wiped out long ago, and Jin Yiwei would not be alarmed. up.

"Su Baihu comes with me."

He Xiancheng hurriedly said, and then walked ahead to lead the way. Soon, He Xiancheng brought Su Hao to Yizhuang outside the county seat.

"Su Baihu, this is Wang Wu."

Two yamen servants opened the lid of a coffin, revealing a corpse like dead wood, as if all the flesh and liquid had been drained from the corpse.

"Get out of the way."

Su Hao took out a dozen or so small paper figurines from his sleeves, then threw the paper figurines into the air, quickly made seals with both hands, and chanted a spell in his mouth. The next moment, the paper figurines were flying in the air like flying butterflies, and finally Clinging tightly to Wang Wu's mummy.

After waiting for a while, Su Hao made a move, and a dozen or so little paper figurines returned to his left hand. The reason why he traveled hundreds of miles from Jinan Prefecture to Mengyin County was to obtain the magic power of the mud ghost.

If the mud ghost wants to absorb the yang energy of a living person, it must use mana. There must be mana left on the corpse. Wang Wu is the one who died the most recently, and the remaining mana breath must be the most. With the mana breath of the mud ghost, the opponent will insert it. Wing is doomed.

As long as the opponent does not have the ability to destroy corpses and traces, he will be able to catch the opponent sooner or later. Of course, if the mud ghost has the ability to destroy corpses and traces, then he can go back to Henan. Hit the wall or ghost upper body.

If you want to interfere with reality, you must either live with a paper figurine like Forbe or other magic weapon suitable for ghosts to live with, or your strength has reached the level of ghost generals, and your mana is powerful enough to interfere with reality.

And both of these mean that Mud Ghost's strength is not just the second grade assessed by the Jinyiwei Yamen, he doesn't want to sacrifice his life for two great achievements.

"go with!"

Su Hao pointed with his right hand, and a small paper figure in his left hand flew up, and then flew towards the northwest direction, but it landed after flying tens of meters.

Is it too far?

Seeing the paper figurine falling, Su Hao immediately knew what he was doing. As for his spell, he was naturally clear. This spell is not yet perfect, and it can still be tracked within ten miles. If it is ten miles away, it can only vaguely guide the direction. , and may lead in the wrong direction.

"He Xiancheng, where is the northwest direction?"

After putting away the remaining paper figurines, Su Hao looked at He Xiancheng who was beside him.

Hearing Su Hao's words, He Xiancheng quickly replied: "Su Baihu, to the northwest is Xintai in Jinan Prefecture, and beyond that is Laiwu."

"Please ask He Xiancheng to help me find someone who knows the way. I'm going to Xintai."

Hearing this, Su Hao said, Shandong has many mountains, unlike Jiangnan and Henan, where official roads intersect vertically and horizontally. There are few official roads here. Except for the official roads connecting counties in Fucheng, there are very few official roads between counties. The roads are connected, and there is no one who knows the way to lead the way. He can only take the official road in Qingzhou Fucheng again. When he arrives in Xintai, the day lily is cold.

"Su Baihu wait a moment, the next official will look for it right away."

He Xiancheng responded quickly.

.........

Qinling Mountains, Taibai Mountains.

In the dense forest, three figures shuttled among the big trees, and the leader was holding something like a compass in his hand.

"Brother Six, haven't you found it yet?"

Looking at He Liu in front of him, Jiang Shizhong said helplessly, although he knew that it would not be easy to find a harmful fox demon in the huge Qinling Mountains, but after ten days, he had nothing to gain, it was simply torture.

"no way."

Hearing Jiang Shizhong's complaint, He Liu shook his head and said, "Although the yamen here have found the hair left by that demon fox, plus this demon-hunting plate, but the Qinling Mountains are too big, and that demon fox seems to be interested in our Jin Yiwei." The methods are very familiar, and mazes are set up everywhere, and the only way to find them is to rely on time."

As soon as He Liu said the words, the atmosphere fell silent instantly. Even Gan Yang, who has always been taciturn, sighed. It depends on time to find it. Maybe it's bad luck, and it won't be found in a year.

"Brother Six, what do you think is going on with Qianhu?"

At this time, Jiang Shizhong said suddenly.

"It should be fine."

He Liu said in a deep voice: "When I passed by Xi'an Mansion before, I asked someone about the situation in Guiyang Mansion. It seems that Wang Sanshan, the governor of Guizhou, repelled An Bangyan's attack, and Zhang Tianshi and the others were there. The three flying zombies shouldn't make any waves."

"Sixth Brother, didn't Mo Qianhu from Jinyiwei Yamen in Xi'an Mansion wanted to recruit you before?"

At this time, Jiang Shizhong asked the question in his heart: "Why don't you accept it?"

Hearing Jiang Shizhong's words, He Liu stopped instantly, turned around and stared at him firmly, and then said coldly: "Shizhong, Zuo Qianhu treated me well. Without Qianhu's guidance, I would never have the strength I have today. I only listen to the words once, and next time, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood!"

"Brother Six, I'm just asking, nothing else."

Seeing that He Liu was angry, Jiang Shizhong smiled awkwardly.

　Counting Chapter 5, I see if I can write another chapter. If I can, I will post it. It is the first time I write so many words in a day, and my hair is almost scratched. I really envy those tentacle monsters ()
