Chang'an City, Wannian County (Wannian County to the east of Zhuque Street, and Chang'an County to the west) Yamen, county magistrates, county lieutenants, Liujiepu patrol chiefs, city magistrates, city magistrates and other grassroots administrative and governance officials Gathered together, everyone looked dignified and remained silent at this moment.
Suddenly a series of footsteps came from outside the yamen courtyard. Zhu Wei, the county magistrate, looked up and saw a group of men in black with swords striding forward.County magistrate Zhu was overjoyed, stepped down from his position as chief official, and went to greet him at the door.
County magistrate Zhu bowed slightly and said, "Magistrate Zhu Wei of Wannian County, I have met all the lords of Zuo Houwei!"
The leader of the black-clothed young man supported County Magistrate Zhu and refused to accept the gift, saying: "County Zhu doesn't have to be like this. Marquis Xia is not as light as a team of left-waiting guards, so he shouldn't be honored by County Magistrate Zhu."
The county magistrate Zhu said: "Who doesn't know the name of the town demon commander under the Zuohou guard? You are all strange people, who protect us and ordinary people in the dark, and are real unsung heroes. Zhu is not alone in this ceremony. My lord, thank you lords for your protection for the people of ten thousand years!"
Magistrate Zhu spoke beautifully, Xiahou smiled slightly, said nothing, and entered the yamen together with Magistrate Zhu.
Entering the room, Xia Hou sat lightly on the second seat, with his companions behind him standing on the left and right, Xia Hou said softly: "Magistrate Zhu, I have received a report of a demon disaster from your place, and I am here to solve it. Please tell me the whole story of the county magistrate Zhu." .”
County Magistrate Zhu said: "Yesterday, my officer conducted a routine inspection of the Changping Warehouse in Dongshi City to stabilize grain prices, and found that [-]% of the grain stored in the Changping Warehouse had disappeared for no reason. It was suspected to be a demon disaster, so I sent a guard to the left Yifu reports."
Xia Hou asked lightly: "Have you ever checked yourself, is there any possibility of human disaster?"
County Magistrate Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "I checked myself at the first time, but [-]% of the stored grain is huge. If there are officials who steal and sell it privately, there must be traces to follow. However, I have repeatedly investigated and ruled out the possibility of self-stealing by guards."
Xia Houqing asked again: "Are there any traces left in the Changping warehouse?"
County magistrate Zhu took out an oiled paper bag from his bosom, handed it to Xia Houqing, and said: "I suspect that this is left by a monster, please Lord Xia Hou appraise it!"
Xia Hou lightly took the oiled paper bag, opened it, and saw several thick black curly hairs in the bag, filled with a sinister aura.Xiahou took a closer sniff, and a faint rancid smell entered his nose.
"What a daring rat! How dare you do such a big thing in Chang'an!" Xia Houqing said angrily after distinguishing the origin of the monster.
County magistrate Zhu hurriedly asked, "Master Xiahou, does he know the origin of this monster?"
Xiahou shook his head lightly and said: "I don't know, this one can only distinguish this monster as a mouse monster, and his skills are not shallow. By the way, County Magistrate Zhu, have innocent people near Dongshi been killed by this monster?"
Magistrate Zhu shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this, and there hasn't been anyone who died in Dongshi recently."
Xia Hou frowned lightly and said: "In this way, the blood Yinxiang will be useless." Xueyinxiang is the treasure of the demon master, and it can be used to find traces of evil monsters based on blood.
County magistrate Zhu said sadly: "What should we do? With so much grain stolen by monsters, if there is a natural disaster, the price of grain in Chang'an city may fluctuate. It is not the blessing of the common people."
Xia Hou said lightly: "Rats are greedy. There is so much food left in the Changping warehouse. The rat demon will not let it go easily. At this time, it should still be hiding in Dongshi. Magistrate Zhu, don't worry, everything will go on as usual. No need to say anything, I'll just pretend to be in the East Market and look for this demon."
County magistrate Zhu said: "As Lord Xiahou said, I leave everything to you!"
......
Li Xiang stood up from the hexagram booth and walked around the hexagram booth a few times to exercise his muscles and bones.It's a bit strange today, the flow of people in Dongshi has decreased a lot, especially those noble people who are dressed in brocade clothes, they have almost disappeared.He didn't know that although the government had never heard of the evil disaster in Dongshi, the dignitaries and dignitaries around Dongshi were all hands and eyes.I told my family members not to go near Dongshi today. Although the monster did not commit any bloody crimes, it is guaranteed that it will not do so in the future.
And ordinary people, running around all day for their livelihood, how many people have spare money, so they can count on nothing?Therefore, Li Xiang set up a stall on the streets of Dongshi for two hours, and there were only two vendors who also set up a stall here. Seeing that the business is not good today, he came here to do a couple of calculations to calculate today's fortune, and the results of the calculations were not very good. , Li Xiang was embarrassed to ask for a high price, and only charged the cost price.
In desperation, Li Xiang had no choice but to take the initiative, observe people coming and going, and look for potential customers.
After this observation, Li Xiang realized that something was wrong. The idlers drinking tea on the second floor of the teahouse facing the street with a wide view, the peddler who seemed to be doing business but actually looked around, and the municipal staff who cleaned the street but went back and forth three times were very suspicious!
What happened?Could it be that fugitives have fled to Dongshi, and the government personnel are setting up a net to arrest them?
It's dangerous!Quickly close the booth and withdraw!
Li Xiang closed his stall in a panic and was spotted by a person on the second floor of the tea house facing the street. This person was none other than Xia Houqing, the leader of the Yaosi team in Zuohouwei Town!
Xia Houqing winked at the surrounding tea customers, and the three of them got up and went out of the tea house, and stopped in front of Li Xiang's hexagram booth.
Seeing the three people standing in front of the hexagram stall, Li Xiang wanted to cry, but said: "Several officials, the poor don't know anything~"
Xia Houqing showed a strange expression on his face, and said: "You Taoist, how did you know our identity?"
Li Xiang said with a mournful face: "The officials are too exposed. How can they sit in a teahouse all afternoon? Do business and look around? Sweep the street back and forth three times?" After finishing speaking, Li Xiang pouted in the direction of the exposed vendors and city officials. .
Xia Houqing was a little embarrassed. They used to be so stalking and they had never been found out. Today, the fortune-teller saw through it at a glance, and he could only praise this Taoist in his heart for being astute.
Xia Houqing raised his face again and said: "If you find it, you will find it, but why do you escape with a guilty conscience? Are you an accomplice of the criminal who did such a big thing?"
Li Xiang called out Zhuang Tianqu, and said: "Officer, I am wronged! The poor man is just a fortune teller, how can he do such a great thing! It's just that there are few people today, especially the rich and idle people in the past. In addition, all the officials set up a net here, and the poor Taoist made calculations, and suddenly found that there was a gust of evil winds here, and it was a place of right and wrong. He was stopped by the officials."
Li Xiang has become accustomed to being a magic stick these days, and likes to exaggerate things more seriously so that customers can pay more attention to these words. Unexpectedly, Xia Hou listened to them lightly, thinking that Li Xiang knew something. What.
"What a Taoist, you really know the inside story, and you still haven't told the truth!" Xia Hou threatened lightly.
Li Xiang:"......"
