Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 56 The Truth (For Subscription)

Time flies, three days later.

Shen Ming brought back the latest news, and said with righteous indignation: "Last time about the bodyguard's coffin, it turned out that the people from the Weiyuan Bodyguard Bureau lied. Kill it. Then open the coffin, loot the gold and silver treasures inside, and throw the body aside."

Zhang Tong said "ah": "There are so many gold and silver treasures, and the dead is a young and beautiful woman. Whose family in the city does it belong to?"

Shen Ming curled his mouth: "The coffin is said to be really stolen money. In order to cover it up, a female corpse was put in. I don't know where this female corpse was found."

Sun Zan was surprised and said: "In this way, it is black and white. But how did the evil spirit make such a fuss? Could it be a corpse change?"

Shen Ming sighed: "I don't think those stolen goods are normal. People who died took gold and silver treasures, and then their internal organs were emptied. It's not real money, but money for dead people's lives. Anyway, it's like this The thing is, the people in the bodyguard bureau were almost dead, and the leader told the truth to Xing Butou. This made the Butou so angry...in order to kill that evil spirit, he almost took his life."

Zhang Tong asked: "Is Catcher Xing okay?"

"I was injured, and now I am recuperating at home."

Sun Zan asked: "In this case, the matter is resolved?"

Shen Ming replied: "Well, it's all right."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they all lived in the city, they had families and houses, and of course they didn't want any evil spirits to cause trouble in the city.If one is not good, it may cause harm to oneself.

Listening to Chen Jinjing, she always felt that the two versions were suspicious, but the things told by others were inevitably distorted.Three people can become a tiger, let alone others?
Shen Ming said mysteriously again: "There is one more thing. It is said that there are imperial envoys from the capital to inspect Lingnan, and the governor has already led people around to clear the streets to prepare for the arrival of the imperial envoys."

The "street clearing" mentioned here has a special meaning, and it does not mean cleaning.

Sun Zan said, "No wonder I didn't see many people in the yamen today."

Zhang Tongdao: "I would like to know what kind of person is here and why? But don't let the father-in-law from the inner factory come..."

Shen Ming stared: "Zhang Tong, why are you chewing so much? Don't hurt us if you want to die."

Zhang Tong knew that he had said something wrong, and immediately fell silent.

The atmosphere in the room became tense.

The name of the inner factory seems to be taboo, even more terrifying than ghosts and gods.

Shen Ming glanced at Chen Jin in the corner, and shouted: "Everyone, hurry up and do things, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have."

He felt that with Chen Jin's connections, he must have heard the news long ago that he was here to play tricks, and if he said something wrong, disaster would come out of his mouth.

However, Chen Jin didn't know about it. Hearing that there was someone coming from the capital, he couldn't help making wild guesses.If the minions of the inner factory really come here, many things will become difficult and difficult to deal with.

Two days later, at dusk, I got off work.

Shen Ming and Chen Jin left the outer room together, and when they passed through the courtyard, they saw a person passing by.

"I've seen Catcher Xing!"

Shen Ming and others hurriedly saluted and asked.

This was the first time Chen Jin saw this Catcher Xing. He was tall and thin, with long hands and feet, slightly bowed, and looked like an ape that would jump up a tree at any time.

"it is good."

Catcher Xing simply replied, and left in a hurry.

Speaking of which, Chen Jin has been working in the Patrol Division for some time, but he seldom sees military personnel, not to mention the head arresters, even the lowest-ranking officers are rarely seen.As for the governor, Yang Rong, he was even more indifferent.Although it is said that Chen Jin came in through his relationship, it is not the same thing as Qiu Bugui's relationship.

After going outside, Zhang Tong asked, "Didn't you say that Xing Butou was seriously injured? You came back so soon?"

Shen Ming replied: "It means that the injury is quite serious... But he is a warrior, and he has good medicine for treatment, so he will recover quickly."

Chen Jin remembered the "Bahe Snake Bear Pill" given by his uncle.

Sun Zan suddenly said: "I don't know why, just now I felt something was wrong with Catcher Xing."

"What's wrong?"

"I can't tell for a while..."

Sun Zan clapped his hands: "Yes, he shaved."

Hearing this, Shen Ming and Zhang Tong immediately expressed contempt: "What's the fuss about a man shaving his beard."

Sun Zan smiled embarrassedly: "After shaving, he looks younger."

Go out to the intersection of the street, scattered west and east.

Chen Jin walked alone, actually not only did Sun Zan think Xing was wrong, he also had a bad feeling.

A person's senses are closely related to the soul. Since the night travel environment stabilized, Chen Jin's senses are much sharper than ordinary people, such as vision, hearing, touch and so on.If the primordial spirit becomes stronger, it can even acquire some "foreseeing" abilities, so as to "seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, without disaster and pain."

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the method of a god.

In the short meeting just now, from Xing Butou, Chen Jin felt uncomfortable and vague.

It's a pity that the time is too short, and there are Shen Ming and others around, so it's hard to open your eyes to take a look.He is now traveling at night, and his Dharma eyes have been strengthened accordingly.

Back at the corner of the street, I sat down at the noodle stall and ordered a big bowl of noodles as usual, with braised eggs and pork head.

Chen Jin's money is quite tight at the moment, and the monthly salary will not be paid until the end of the month, but it's actually not much, about five taels of silver.

Life is not easy.

Of course, it is not difficult to find money with his current means, and he can even use the invisibility method directly to enter the house, and just go for it swaggeringly.But if you do that, it will appear inferior.

Learning swordsmanship and Taoism is not for stealing chickens and dogs.

After eating a full stomach, I returned to the courtyard and continued to practice penance.

In the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened by the sound of rain. Listening carefully, it was drizzling.

The winter rain wasn't heavy, but it was chilly. Chen Jin wasn't afraid of the cold, but it was winter, and he had to wear a coat everyday to cover it up.It's like wearing short sleeves in a cold weather. It's inevitable that it's too "prominent". Everywhere you go, people will stare at you, which is not good.

He's not the type to go out of his way.

The next day, the rain did not stop, and I went to the police station with an oil-paper umbrella. It seemed to be another dull but fulfilling day.

Compared to Chen Jin's immersing himself in reading and gaining various insights in outdated files, Shen Ming and the others seemed to be "fishing". They all drank tea, raised their legs, and put them down again after not seeing a page. Take a nap here, or talk about some gossip.

Sometimes it is said that someone married a daughter; sometimes it is said that the old man died; when there is no topic, it can even be said that a certain family's dog gave birth to five...

Very modern office chat atmosphere.

But in an instant, there was a sudden silence, Shen Ming raised his head and saw the person standing at the door, and hurriedly got up: "Xing Butou!"
