Qin Yuesheng picked up the teacup, looked out the window, and took a sip.

"The youngest of the Qin family is me."

……

midnight.

"It's dry, be careful with candles."

"It's dry, be careful with candles."

The watchman walked forward slowly, and at the same time shouted the words that had been shouted for many years in a gentle tone.

Suddenly, a black shadow rushed out from an alley not far away, and before the watchman could react, a cold light appeared, and he directly pinched his throat with his claws.

"Uh!"

Blood spurted out from the wound, and the broken throat made the watchman unable to speak any more.

The black shadow sniffed the Darwin's body, then took a hard bite, and began to chew quickly.

"It's not you, you are not him, I want revenge."

Throwing the watchman to the side of the road, the black shadow immediately disappeared into the night again.

The next day.

Qin Mansion Plum Blossom Residence.

Qin Feng, Qin Yuesheng, and Duan Hongjin sat beside the round table, quietly eating the breakfast on the table.

Xiaolongbao, beef porridge, braised duck feet, pig ears... There are as many as twelve kinds.

Qin Yuesheng chewed and ate the porridge in the bowl slowly, this is the rule of the Qin family, they must sit together to eat early.

At this moment, the chief steward, Qin Zheng, suddenly walked in from the door, holding a government notice in his hand.

"Master, last night in Qingyang City, 32 families were brutally wiped out. In addition, three watchmen also died."

Qin Feng stopped his mouth: "There is such a thing? Who did it?"

"Currently the government is still investigating. The assailant's attack was extremely cruel, all of which were fatal. They pinched the neck of the victim and none of them survived. Now the notice is paying a lot of money to find witnesses who can provide clues."

Duan Hongjin couldn't help but said: "Master, I'm afraid some Jiangyang bandits from other places have come to Qingyang City."

"It's not impossible, butler Qin, go and tell the commander of the nursing home to get all the nursing homes of the Qin residence to cheer up during this time, patrolling the inside and outside of the Qin residence on a shift system around the clock, and can't relax for a moment.

In addition, remember to be in a group of three, no matter where you go, you have to follow together, and you can't leave the team without authorization. "

"clear."

Qin Yuesheng looked at the notice in Qin Zheng's hand thoughtfully, but did not speak.

Another day passed.

The massacre in Qingyang City continued, and hundreds of people died in just a few days, which immediately caused a lot of panic in Qingyang City.

Wealthy merchants and wealthy families can sleep with peace of mind at night because they have a lot of warriors and nurses in their hands, but ordinary people are not so comfortable.

Once they meet that murderous maniac, everyone will die, and they won't be able to see the sun the next morning.

As a result, people in Qingyang City became panicked for a while, and the business in the martial arts hall, blacksmith shop, and weapon shop in the city became very hot.

However, the common people were worried and upset, and Xun Sheng, the prefect of Qingyang City, was actually even more worried.

Someone breaking the law in his jurisdiction is completely provoking his status as a prefect. What worries Xun Sheng even more is that they still don't know whether the murderer is a human or a ghost.

"Master Bai, do you have any clues?"

In Bai Hao's room, Xun Sheng sat at the table and asked solemnly.

Bai Hao's hair was messy, and it was obvious that he hadn't taken care of it for a while.

"Nothing was found." Bai Hao shook his head helplessly: "There were no footprints at the scene, and the wounds on the deceased's body seemed to be caused by sharp claws. Few people in the south of the Yangtze River use claw blades as weapons, so I suspect this crime There's a good chance it's a ghoul."

"Ghoul!" Xun Sheng's expression changed.

Both ghouls and ghosts are very dangerous. The power of ghosts lies in the fact that they have many strange methods. The most common ones are to use illusions to confuse people, absorb people's energy, and possess and control the human body.

The Qixing Supervisor called this kind of things ghosts covering the eyes, ghosts hitting the wall, and ghosts on the body.

The tricky thing about ghouls is how brutal they can be.

Every ghoul exists for the purpose of killing. They don't have any consciousness and wisdom, and their only idea is to hunt and kill any living creature with blood.

Wherever ghouls appear, disasters of slaughter will occur.

Chapter 51 [051] The enemy came to the door

Bai Hao is also mentally and physically exhausted.

Originally, he came to Qingyang City this time to investigate the haunting incident in Fu'an Hutong reported by Xun Sheng, and at the same time he brought one of his apprentices to practice.

Who would have thought that the apprentice went out to investigate the day before yesterday, but for some reason he has not returned yet, and he has not had time to investigate the Fu'an Hutong incident in the future, and there will be another vicious murder case in Qingyang City, which is even more serious than the current situation.

It really makes people feel a little big.

"Master Xun, have you sent all the officials and arresters you can to search the whole city?" Bai Hao asked.

Xun Sheng immediately nodded and said, "It's only natural."

"This is not enough. At present, we have no way to find out the whereabouts of the murderer in the shortest possible time. We have to make preparations to protect the rest of the people from his harm. Go and issue a notice to recruit warriors from all over the city to join temporarily. When the government works as an errand, it is used to watch the night, and the salary is... three taels of silver a day."

Xun Sheng was slightly startled, this amount is not small.

But he quickly agreed: "Yes, I'll do it now."

After Xun Sheng left, Bai Hao took out a jade pendant from his bosom, looking at the jade pendant, he couldn't help but fell into sadness: "Although Wan'er is not weak, she hasn't returned yet, and she hasn't heard from her. Could it be that something unexpected happened to this young man... Yangcheng is really a troubled place."

……

The notice from the government to recruit people with three liang of silver a day was really like throwing a thunderbolt, which caused a sensation in the whole Qingyang City.

Three taels a day, and 30 taels in ten days. If you calculate it for a long time, this is not a small sum.

Even if many martial arts practitioners work as guards for others, as nurses, or do other businesses, they can't earn this amount in a day.

As a result, the Qingyang city yamen suddenly became very popular, and a large number of men, women, old and young, young and old, young and old, came to sign up.
