Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 58
Going to the outer room the next day, Chen Jin approached Shen Ming and inquired about Xing Tutou in a roundabout way.It was learned that this head catcher was originally from a government office and was the leader of the fast shift in the government office. Later, when the Patrol Division was established, he was "poached" to become a head catcher.

It can be seen from this that this person does have some abilities, and it is possible that the patrolling department Chujian recruited eclectic people.

Chen Jin thought to himself: Sure enough, he has a government background, so the relationship between Xing Tutou and Gou Zhifu is even more doubtful.

At noon, when the four of them went out to eat, they saw Butou Xing standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking at them coldly.

After going outside, Zhang Tong couldn't help but look back frequently, and said in his mouth: "What's wrong with Catcher Xing? It feels like he's always staring at us these two days?"

"Isn't it? Just now I was looked at by him, and I felt hairy."

Sun Zan was also a little frightened.

Shen Ming questioned: "Could it be that something went wrong with our errand? It's not right. Even if something goes wrong, he shouldn't be in charge."

However, Chen Jin felt that Xing Tutou was only targeting himself, and others were just implicated, but this kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly.

Sun Zan asked again: "Also, have you noticed that Catcher Xing's face is very pale?"

Shen Ming said angrily: "He has just recovered from a serious injury, how can his complexion get any better?"

Zhang Tong coughed dryly: "Don't talk about him, what do you want to eat at noon?"

Sun Zan rolled his eyes: "What? You want a treat?"

Zhang Tong said with a smile: "Brother Shen told a wonderful story last time. I said I would treat you to a meal."

Hearing this, Shen Ming looked at him in surprise: "Zhang Tong, you are a famous iron rooster in the outer room, and you really know how to treat guests?"

Zhang Tong couldn't hold back his face anymore: "What iron cock, it's too ugly to say, in a word, do you want to eat it?"

"Eat! Someone treats you, if you don't eat it, you're a bastard."

Shen Ming and Sun Zan looked at each other, already thinking about where to kill Zhang Tong.

Chen Jin: "..."

I can only follow.

This meal was satisfying, and Zhang Tong was refreshing and generous when paying the bill.

Sun Zan asked: "Brother Zhang, to be honest, have you made a fortune?"

Zhang Tong's eyes flickered, and he replied, "Wind money? How can there be windfall money?"

Shen Ming said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's a windfall, it's good to have money, it's even better if you are willing to take out some to invite everyone to dinner."

"Yes Yes."

Sun Zan no longer struggled.

Going back to the outer room and continuing to work, when it was time to leave after get off work, the four of them felt relieved that they did not meet Catcher Xing again.

Chen Jin paid special attention to the journey, carefully checking if the other party was following him, and even cast invisibility before returning to the house in peace.

One night passed, and when I came to work the next day, I heard an unexpected bad news:
"Zhang Tong is dead?"

Shen Ming said with a pale face: "It is said that he was killed in the middle of the night last night. He was discovered by his family in the early morning, so he hurried to the Yamen to report to the officials."

"How did you die?"

"The belly was cut open, and the internal organs were emptied!"

Speaking of this, Shen Ming's voice trembled.

Chen Jin's eyes flashed brightly: "Isn't this death the same as what you said last time?"

"Yes, this, this..."

Shen Ming was already at a loss, and could hardly speak.

Sun Zan stumbled in and ran in, yelling, "Zhang Tong is dead, and the evil spirits are making trouble again."

Before Shen Ming dictated what happened to the members of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau. They didn’t even know where the Escort Bureau was, and they had nothing to do with those Escort Masters. A storyteller.

But now, it was the colleagues around him who died, and he invited them to dinner yesterday.

In just one night, yin and yang are separated.

The feelings in my heart are completely different, shock, sadness, and fear...

Sun Zan said impatiently, "Didn't you say it was resolved last time? How could this be?"

Shen Mingdao: "How do I know? Xing Botou has already brought Fan Yan out to investigate. Now the department is short of manpower, Mr. Yang and the others have not come back outside, what should we do? The people in the inner room are also panicked."

Chen Jin was exceptionally quiet, and suddenly asked: "Brother Shen, last time you said evil spirits were causing disasters, the root cause was the gold and silver treasures in the coffin, anyone who took them would be killed."

"Is such that."

"Zhang Tong's treat is most likely because of a windfall. This windfall is obviously not right."

Hearing this, Shen Ming almost jumped up: "Yes, it must be the reason. Damn it, I'll just say it."

Chen Jin continued to analyze: "Zhang Tong comes to work every day, and his time behavior is regular and orderly. Where can he make a fortune? Most of it is money picked up on the road."

"what!"

Sun Zan screamed suddenly, as if he was suddenly frightened.

Shen Ming was startled, and sullenly said: "What's your name?"

But seeing Sun Zan's arm stretched out tremblingly, there was a silver ingot in the palm of his palm, which looked like five taels in weight, and its color was off-white.

Shen Ming stepped back subconsciously and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Sun Zan replied: "I picked it up, just outside the gate of the yamen."

Shen Ming was about to start scolding: "You are really obsessed with money, can you just pick up the money on the ground?"

Sun Zan shouted, "You see money on the ground, don't you pick it up?"

Shen Ming was at a loss for words. In fact, he had picked it up once or twice before, but it was not silver, but copper coins. After picking it up, he was complacent and felt that he had gotten rich.Ask yourself, who doesn't want to pick up money?
Sun Zan continued: "I'm picking up money at the door, thinking that there won't be any problem. Besides, when you talk about evil spirits, they are all golden ingots. Gold and silver are not the same thing."

Chen Jin was at the side, his eyes were open, and he immediately saw the silver ingot in his palm. Where is the silver?It was a piece of dark bone with an irregular shape, emitting some kind of faint light.

The essence was detected by Fayan, and a wisp of black smoke suddenly came out of this bone.

Sensing the change in the silver ingot, Sun Zan was horrified, and quickly shook his hand, throwing the silver to the ground.

With a snap, it fell apart and turned into countless pieces, like broken charcoal.

"This this……"

He raised his palm to look, and saw that the skin on the palm was burned, leaving a scar the size of a copper coin, which was excruciatingly painful.

Shen Ming shouted: "Dead people buy life money, it really is dead people buy life money, this is the end of it."

"What are you yelling about?"

Amidst the shouts, Xing Tutou came, followed by two servants.

Seeing the savior, Shen Mingru hurried forward to tell the story.Sun Zan was already a little stunned. Thinking of the tragic situation when Zhang Tong was killed, his whole body couldn't help but began to tremble.

Catcher Xing looked around sharply, and said, "The three of you are suspected of being in contact with evil spirits. Leave the outer room immediately and lock yourself into interrogation room No. [-]. You are not allowed to leave until the matter is over."

"Okay, let's go now."

Shen Ming and Sun Zan did not resist being imprisoned at all. Instead, they felt that it would be safe to enter the interrogation room. Seeing that Chen Jin was still standing still, they dragged him away.
