polar demon

Chapter 374 Sacrifice ([-]) Thanks to the book friend "Singing Butterfly" for the reward!

Jiang Yuan looked at the county magistrate in front of him. Last night that year, the county magistrate led the officials to flee to the Acropolis in the east, but was attacked by ghosts on the way, and only one yamen servant fled back to Taiping Town.

But now with the arrival of Jiang Yuan, the butterfly effect finally unfolded.

Jiang Yuan once left a few demons to protect Su Wei's family. As a result, the five demons fought with other demons that appeared in Taiping Town last night. As a result, they attracted most of the demons' attention, which greatly reduced the damage of the living people. Not to the point of being out of control.

This also led to the fact that the county magistrate did not escape in embarrassment last night, but has lived until now.

Jiang Yuan took a second look at the county magistrate, and then he quickly lost interest in such mortal officials.

He raised his footsteps and was about to walk towards the crowd.

Jiang Yuan could feel that Aunt Hong and other five ghosts were hiding in the dark of a private house, avoiding the sunlight during the day.

He had to put away these ghosts and bring them close to his body, otherwise, if something unexpected happened, he would lose his ghost energy.

The county magistrate was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be unmoved by his begging.

He hurried to Jiang Yuan's side, followed Jiang Yuan step by step, and kept telling:
"Young Master Jiang, Taiping Town is in danger now, and we can no longer count on outsiders! The roads in and out of Taiping Town have been blocked by officers and soldiers under the pretext of blocking the epidemic. That was an order issued by the governor himself. As a member of Taiping Town Element, please help me!"

Jiang Yuan didn't stop, he said in a cold voice:

"When I was about to starve to death, why didn't anyone remember that I was a member of Taiping Town?"

The county magistrate was slightly taken aback, wondering how a strong man like Jiang Yuan would face the problem of starving to death?

But the county magistrate hastily said:

"Young Master Jiang, it's a subordinate official who neglected to observe. I ask Mr. Jiang to blame the subordinate official if he wants to. But for the sake of the folks, please help Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Yuan was about to refuse, but suddenly his heart moved.

He remembered, isn't the sacrificial field just to harvest the souls of the living?If he controlled the living people, then to a certain extent, he would create checks and balances on the sacrificial field.In this case, I might have a better chance to see the secret of the sacrificial field.

Otherwise, if a large number of living people fled into the mountains and tried to leave the town as in the past, such a situation would not be suitable for Jiang Yuan to control everything.

So Jiang Yuan changed his mind again, and he said:
"County magistrate, gather all the respectable people in the city and wait for me at the yamen."

Seeing Jiang Yuan Songkou, the county magistrate couldn't help but be overjoyed:

"Young Master Jiang, don't worry, I'll do it now!"

Jiang Yuan turned his gaze, and looked at the real Yuheng who was sitting on the altar among the crowd. He stretched out his finger to the real Yuheng and said to the county magistrate:

"That old guy can't be left behind. There is also Dong Tianxiong, a powerful man in the city, and Lin Zhenghao, a Qingfeng swordsman in his mansion, all of whom are indispensable! In fifteen minutes, I will go to the Yamen to discuss with everyone."

The county magistrate didn't know what Jiang Yuan had planned, so he hurriedly agreed.

Whether it is the mighty Dong Tianxiong or the real Yuheng, they are currently the most authoritative people in Taiping Town.Others may not be able to invite them, but the county magistrate thought that he could still gather them in the yamen with his own face.

As for Qingfeng swordsman Lin Zhenghao, the county magistrate didn't know about this person, but since Jiang Yuan said so, the county magistrate would find him.

Jiang Yuan had already walked into the crowd, and all the people involuntarily gave way for a way, for fear that they would accidentally block Jiang Yuan's way.

In the impression of many people who knew Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan was still a poor and worthless scholar before today.

But now that Jiang Yuan fell from the sky, and even the county magistrate had to talk to him humbly, this made everyone no longer dare to keep their original impressions, and had to look at Jiang Yuan with admiration.

Among the crowd, Su Wei's parents kept pushing towards Jiang Yuan, especially his cousin shouting loudly at Jiang Yuan:

"Cousin! Wait for me! There was some misunderstanding last night, cousin, please listen to my explanation!"

Jiang Yuan ignored them and left here.

He crossed the street and came to a temporarily unoccupied house near Su Mo's house.

Aunt Hong, Big-headed Ghost, Hanged Ghost, Fat Man and One-eyed ghosts are hidden in it. With Jiang Yuan's entry, they appeared one after another from the shadows where the sun can't reach.

Jiang Yuan opened his mouth and asked Aunt Hong:

"Did anything special happen last night?"

Aunt Hong replied:
"Master, there were a lot of ghosts in the town last night. However, they all turned into ghosts just now, and they were not our opponents at all. We easily solved most of them. According to the master's order, we took Su Wei's family Everyone is so protected that not a single hair is missing!"

The fat man scratched his head and asked hesitantly:

"Master, can we eat meat? There are living people everywhere around here, I can't control myself!"

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, the big-headed ghost interrupted and reprimanded:

"Nothing! I know how to eat all day long! Master, I found out that the girl in the family is very beautiful last night. Do you want me to capture her to serve the master tonight?"

Jiang Yuan ignored the fat man and the big-headed ghost, and asked Aunt Hong:

"Can you find out where the extra ghosts come from?"

Aunt Hong recalled:

"A unique evil spirit fell from the sky, turning some dead people and domestic animals into ghosts. Even...even the remains in some ancient tombs on the cemetery near the town have also mutated."

After Jiang Yuan listened, he thought of the inexplicable ghost energy that he found in the sky when he left last night.

At that time, he stayed at Su Mo's house for a while, and then flew up to the clouds, but missed the process of ghost energy generation.

Unexpectedly, after he left, ghost energy fell from the sky again.

Jiang Yuan thought for a while, and then put the five ghosts into the gold silk bag.

After finishing everything, Jiang Yuan walked out of the house and headed for the yamen.

Outside the yamen, there are still a large number of people gathered. They are standing on the sidelines. After all, such a big event happened in Taiping Town, and everyone is very concerned about their future.

As Jiang Yuan approached, people couldn't help but murmur and discuss in low voices.

Some people who used to have friendship with Jiang Yuan tried to come forward to talk about the past.Those who have no friendship with Jiang Yuan also want to have a relationship with Jiang Yuan.

After all, Jiang Yuan is from Taiping Town, so he is not so unfamiliar to people, and he will not be as afraid as Wang Yan, the proprietress of Zuixiaolou in Xiangyang City.

Seeing that a large group of people was about to move towards Jiang Yuan, the yamen servants outside the yamen took action in time.

These officials were instructed by the county magistrate, and they squeezed into the crowd ferociously, protecting Jiang Yuan in the middle, allowing Jiang Yuan to go towards the Yamen smoothly.

The public hall in the yamen was temporarily used as a living room at this time.

All the powerful and respectable people in Taiping Town were summoned here by the county magistrate.

The only exception was Su Wei's family. Knowing that Jiang Yuan had such three relatives, the county magistrate invited them over as well.

The county magistrate has also found out at this time that Jiang Yuan was still selling books on the street yesterday, but today he suddenly became a master. No one knows the reason for this.

A person suddenly possesses great power. If he has a bad mentality, he will easily do some lawless things.

The county magistrate was worried about this, so he invited Jiang Yuan's relatives.If there are relatives present, if Jiang Yuan suddenly goes berserk, someone can stop him and persuade him.

In Su Yu's courtroom, he just sat quietly.

But the mentality of the cousin and aunt at this time is extremely complicated, a little panic but a little proud.

All the people present here are big figures in Taiping Town. Common people like uncle and aunt are not even qualified to talk to them on weekdays. When they meet these people, they can only give way in awe.

At this time, all these important people gathered around the cousin and aunt, which made the two of them habitually feel a little afraid.

However, apart from being afraid, they are also full of complacency, and have a kind of pleasure of being a villain.

Who would have thought that one day, my family would also be qualified to sit with these big shots.

And there are still a few important people who have secretly expressed their affection to the cousin and aunt, intending to make friends.

At first, the uncle and aunt couldn't help but feel flattered, but as more and more people showed their favor, the uncle and aunt also began to become arrogant. My aunt also gradually became picky.

It's not the top people in the town, and the uncles and aunts don't even bother to talk to them. Even in the face of the top people in the town, the two began to be able to talk to them.

During the conversation, the cousin and aunt also tried their best to use their nephew to try to overwhelm each other. Because of their poverty and humbleness, the two of them developed a kind of inferiority complex and distorted strong self-esteem. Satisfy that twisted self-esteem.

"Let me tell you, our Su family and Jiang family are very close! They are a real family!"

The cousin spit and talked loudly:
"Xiaoyuan's child, a vision appeared in the sky when he was just born, and there was purple energy coming from the east! The fortune teller said, he is the fate of the general! In the future, he will be rich and powerful, and he will be high and powerful! That child has been a favorite since he was a child. I like and respect my cousin very much!"

A group of big shots from Taiping Town surrounded my cousin and kept saying yes.

Aunt Biao was unwilling to be lonely, so she stepped in and said:

"My family, Su Wei, played with Xiao Yuan since childhood. They even played house games when they were young! It's a pity that Xiao Yuan's parents left early... But since Xiao Yuan only has me and my man as elders , then our husband and wife will naturally have to help manage his marriage. You don’t know, Xiaoyuan’s mother told me before that the two families will get married! So my family, Su Wei, is waiting to choose A good day to marry Xiaoyuan!"

At this time, a group of dignitaries turned to Aunt Biao and congratulated her repeatedly.

Su Mo was listening to her parents' nonsense, she was so ashamed that she wished she could find a way to slip in.

She had persuaded her parents before, but they didn't listen at all, and they were still indulging in vanity.

At this moment, a group of yamen servants surrounded by a young man walked in outside the court, but Jiang Yuan had already arrived.

There was no sound in the courtroom for a moment, the county magistrate hastily got up to greet him, but the real Yuheng in the corner looked at him more and more suspiciously.
