Immortality: Starting from practicing Zombie and Taming Ghosts in Yizhuang

Chapter 14 Mu Lei Arrives
Li Yuan walked on the streets of Baishi Town and felt the depression of the town.

The three main streets that were once bustling are now deserted, with only some vendors who have to come out to do business and a few beggars wandering the streets.

He sighed deeply, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

After walking for a while, Li Yuan came to a medicine shop.A signboard with a corner off hangs at the door of the drug store, which looks a bit shabby.

Li Yuan walked into the store and saw a middle-aged man busy behind the counter.When the man saw him, he immediately smiled and greeted him warmly.

"Brother, are you here to get the ancient thorn grass?"

Li Yuan came here before and bought some poisonous herbs when he wanted to refine poisonous zombies, but he put it on hold because he didn't have all the five poisons in the future.

"No."

"Boss. I want some snow ginseng, dragon qi grass, ancient hollin, and golden antler."

Li Yuan talked about several medicinal materials and herbs that could replenish qi and blood.

After hearing this, the shop owner glanced at Li Yuan's face and smiled knowingly. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay. Brother, wait a moment."

The boss turned around and rummaged around in the medicine cabinet at the back, but in the end he only took out snow ginseng, guholin and golden antler.

"Brother, what a coincidence, all the dragon blood grass was bought by others yesterday. Do you think you should replace it with the tortoise shell which has a similar effect?" The drug store owner looked at Li Yuan apologetically and said with some embarrassment.

"Huh? Who needs so much dragon blood grass?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

Dragon's blood grass is a yang herb, and only a small amount is needed when used as medicine. Because the medicine is very powerful, taking too much will be counterproductive.

And this thing is generally only used by men, and women cannot take it.

"I'm not sure. I remember the waiter said it was bought by a woman wearing a veil. I don't know who it was."

"woman?"

Curiosity made Li Yuanchen think about it for a while, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"Sir, do you still want these herbs?"

Seeing that Li Yuan was silent, the drug store owner asked again.

"Pack it up, how much is the total?" Li Yuan took out a money bag from his arms as he spoke.

"15 taels of silver."

Li Yuan, "How much?!"

Li Yuan knew that herbs for replenishing qi and blood were expensive, but he did not expect them to be so expensive.

After leaving the medicine shop, Li Yuan touched the herbs in his hand and couldn't help but greet the boss in his heart.

15 taels of silver.

His uncle Mu Lei's monthly salary as the head shop in Long'an City was less than 30 taels of silver.

After buying the herbs, Li Yuan went to the wine alley again, brought Mr. Liu a pot of wine, and planned to leave Baishi Town first.

"It's a pity that I didn't buy dragon blood grass."

After leaving the tavern, Li Yuan was walking in the wine alley, and at this moment, a woman wearing plain clothes came across from Li Yuan.

The two of them didn't interact too much. Li Yuan was holding the wine, and the woman was looking straight ahead with cold eyes. The two of them almost passed each other, one on the left and the other on the right.

However, when they reached the end of the alley, they paused for a moment almost at the same time.

The woman turned her head slightly, but Li Yuan had already entered the corner and disappeared.

Here.

Li Yuan came to a corner and stopped, and the woman quickly disappeared into the alley after a pause.

"This breath."

"Can't be wrong."

A trace of caution appeared on Li Yuan's face.

"It seems that things are going to change in Baishi Town."

After saying that, Li Yuan didn't mind his own business and left Baishi Town and walked straight to the north.

at the same time.

The government office in Baishi Town became lively.

Because of many cases, Pu'an City finally couldn't sit idly by and sent people over.

In the government office.A man with a Chinese character appeared here with others. The man was wearing a black arrester's robe, with a broad sword at his waist, and a look of justice between his brows.

Behind the man were two teams of impressive black-clad detectives, each with a serious expression and sharp eyes, all of whom were obviously good catchers.

"Mr. Mu, I didn't expect you to come in person."

"I'm here to guard Baishi, General Shen."

Jiang Shen personally led people to greet him at the gate of the official residence. When he saw Mu Lei's figure, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Mu Lei as an official salute.

"Will guard."

Mu Lei also nodded to say you're welcome. It was none other than Li Yuan's uncle, Mu Lei.

Mu Lei and Jiang Shen walked side by side and arrived at the inner hall of the official residence.

While walking, Mu Lei looked around, his eyes filled with heaviness and worry.
"I didn't expect that this little thing would still alarm Master Chengshou. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

Jiang Shen moved his fat body and could barely keep up with Mu Lei's pace. Just when he walked from the outer hall to the inner hall, a look of oily sweat appeared on Jiang Shen's face.

"A trivial matter?" Mu Lei glared at Jiang Shen, "This matter is not trivial."

Faced with General Shen's somewhat perfunctory attitude, Mu Lei showed a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes. Women and children disappeared many times in a row. Not only did Pu'an City know about this, but even Long'an County had news about it.

Mu Lei and his party led Shen down to the place where the government temporarily stored the corpse.

"Mr. Mu, almost all the victims related to this case are here."

There were a total of twenty corpses covered with white cloth in front of Mu Lei.

Six of them died from the same cause. They were all drained of blood, and there was no expression of pain on each of the deceased's faces, as if they were willing to die.

The rest of the people seemed to have been silenced or killed randomly, and had nothing in common.

"Why are there so many corpses?" Mu Lei asked slightly angrily looking at the scene in front of him.

"Lord Mu, you don't know something. The murderer not only abducted the children of these families, but was also murderous. Their family members also died tragically."

After hearing this, Mu Lei stepped forward to check.

"really."

Mu Lei's face turned ugly when he saw this scene, and at the same time, his suspicions were confirmed.

"It's only been a few years since it stopped."

Mu Lei whispered, a trace of bad memories appeared in his mind.

"Mr. Mu, what are you looking at now?" Jiang Shen stepped forward and asked tentatively.

"Has the government found anyone suspicious so far?" Mu Lei turned to Jiang Shen and asked.

"Not yet. The whereabouts of this thief are too strange. We have been investigating for many days but have not found any useful clues." Jiang Shen's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end he was afraid to look at Mu Lei.

Mu Lei didn't say much about this. He looked at Jiang Shen seriously and continued to ask, "Didn't you say that someone reported to the official position? Where is the person who reported to the official position?"

"The person who reported the crime was a knife catcher from the government, but he asked an ordinary citizen to report it to the government. The person who caught the report has been killed, and the bodies have now been sent to Yizhuang."

Jiang Shen responded.

"Huh? Where's the wood cutter?!" Mu Lei frowned and asked again.

Jiang Shen knew where the wood cutter was, so he secretly looked at Jiang Fei at the rear. Jiang Fei understood and immediately spoke.

"Mr. Mu, we left a message for the timber guy. His home is over there in the wine alley."

"Quick, bring someone here!"

Mu Lei looked at Jiang Fei and said.

Just as Jiang Fei was about to take the order, a government servant quickly ran over.

"Boss, it's not good, it's the servant's family who reported to the official."

The officer was stunned when he raised his head, and saw thirty or forty pairs of sharp eyes falling on him.

"Tell me, what happened to Cai Fu's family?"

Jiang Fei urged urgently.

"Dead, dead."

As the yamen officer finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the entire government office.
