Red Dust Daqian

The monster has been killed. Changnan County has gradually returned to its former bustle. The shops on the street are open for business again in the evening; the people will also go out to the streets in the evening. However, those unmarried girls and children still dare not easily leave their homes in the evening. After all, several times before, after the county government announced that the monster had been eliminated, there were still robberies.

After some time passed, there was no news of dog demons, wolf demons, etc. returning to kidnap people.

On this day, the cousin of the eleventh case, Shen Qianrou, went up the mountain again to the temple to worship Buddha and burn incense in order to pray for her seriously ill aunt and her missing cousin Shen Qianrou. She missed the time when she came down the mountain, resulting in her late return. After the Shen family and others came down the mountain, they were still a few miles away from the city gate. Suddenly, the sound of dogs and wolves rang out, and red light and demonic shadows covered the earth. Everyone who was with them was panicked, and they all fainted after smelling the strange fragrance. After a while, four or five people wearing dog and wolf masks rushed out from the shadows around them, ran straight to the sedan chair, and carried out the unconscious daughter of the Shen family from the sedan chair. They looked at the pretty face of the Shen girl's personal maid, and dragged the maid and the Shen girl onto the horse's back. Among them, there was a masked thief who used iron steel claws to leave bloody claw marks of dogs and wolves on the Shen family sedan chair and the surrounding area, creating the illusion of an attack by dog ​​and wolf demons. After doing all this, the bandits took the Shen family's daughter and maid away and ran towards the back mountain.

Arriving at the back mountain, there is a courtyard that has been abandoned by the temple. Usually, few people come here, and it is quite secretive. This should be the bandit's den. The bandits took off their hoods and carried the Shen family girl and the maid into the courtyard. They chatted while working: "This time it was a great success again. The girl is pretty." "Yes. Even the maid is a beauty." "Before, I thought the boss had retired and would never do it again." "You know shit, that's because they have to wait until the Taoist priest leaves before taking action to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Just when the bandits thought they had accomplished their mission and were drinking and having fun, a burly man kicked the gate of the courtyard open. Suddenly, flames broke out all around, and the courtyard was surrounded by people holding torches. A female Taoist priest and a burly man led the warriors and rushed into the courtyard. The bandits were quite surprised to see that the leaders who rushed in were Xiangcao Tianshi and Zhao Tiechui. Didn't these people leave? Why are they here again? Because the guards who came to besiege were numerous and powerful, and Xiangcao and Zhao Tiechui were highly skilled in martial arts, they quickly gained the upper hand.

Zhou Sen also sneaked into the yard while the guards were besieging the bandits. After entering the yard, Zhou Sen heard a voice shouting for help from a side room. In a hurry, Zhou Sen kicked the door open. He saw a bandit pressing a young girl on the table, and the girl's clothes had been torn off by the bandit. The bandit was about to do something illegal, and at the critical moment, Zhou Sen drew his sword and chopped at the bandit, who fell to the ground and slid under the table. On the table was a beautiful girl, her clothes had been torn to pieces, revealing her plump white skin, jumping breasts, frightened big eyes, slender nose and seductive lips, and a nervous expression.

This room was separated by a wooden fence, similar to a prison. Inside the wooden fence, there were the unconscious Shen family girl and maid who had just been kidnapped, as well as seven or eight young girls who were already trembling with fear. Seeing Zhou Sen kicking the door in and slashing the gangster with a knife, the woman who had just been bullied and the girls in the fence were stunned for a moment. Against the light of the torch behind him, Zhou Sen was quite tall in the eyes of the girls, especially in the eyes of the girl who was being bullied, he was simply a god who came to save them.

Zhou Sen stared at the girl, and the girl stared at Zhou Sen. "Mumu, what's going on in the room?" Vanilla's voice woke them up. The two were stunned for a moment. The girl realized that she was naked and hurriedly and shyly covered her breasts with her arms. Zhou Sen subconsciously wiped his saliva and took off his Taoist robe to cover the girl. He replied to Vanilla: "Senior sister, it's okay, the kidnapped girls are all here. How is it outside?" Vanilla gave Zhou Sen a disdainful look. Zhou Sen, who was just staring at the beautiful woman's body in a daze, was seen by Vanilla. Vanilla replied: "All the bandits have been captured."

"Master Mu, who do you think this is?" Zhao Tiechui walked up to Zhou Sen with a gangster. Zhou Sen took a closer look and saw that it was the yamen runner Wang Wu. "You are so good, Wang Wu, no wonder the gangsters didn't fall for it before. So there is a traitor like you." Zhou Sen cursed angrily.

Wang Wu was interrogated on the spot, and then Zhou Sen took some of his men and escorted Wang Wu to the county government office first. Xiangcao took some of his men to search the criminals' den, guard the criminals, and take care of the victims.

After arriving at the county government office, Zhou Sen did not dare to delay. He immediately joined forces with the county magistrate Shangguan Wuhou, led the guards and the county magistrate's trusted servants, and quickly raided the home of the county magistrate Cui Qi, who was having a passionate affair with his concubine. "How dare you, who are you? I am the county magistrate of this county. You dare to break into my mansion. You kidnap me, you want to die." Cui Qi shouted at the guards in frustration. "I'm looking for you, the county magistrate." Zhao Tiechui replied coldly. "You, you, you are Zhao Tiechui, didn't you follow that useless Taoist priest in your family?" Cui Qi stammered. Zhao Tiechui slapped Cui Qi in the face and cursed, "You are looking for death by insulting my Taoist priest."

"Hey, isn't this Lord Cui? I heard you calling me, did you miss me?" Zhou Sen said with a smile to Cui Qi who was escorted to him. Cui Qi saw that it was indeed Zhou Sen standing in front of him, and was full of confusion about what happened and why Zhou Sen came back. He was stunned for a long time. Soon Cui Qi and his confidants were taken to the county jail.

In the hall of the county government, Cui Qi still looked at Zhou Sen in disbelief. He asked, "Didn't you kill all the monsters and leave Changnan? Why are you back again?" County Magistrate Shangguan Wuhou answered first, "How could Tianshi be deceived by you villains? Tianshi Zhang had already discovered that someone in the government assisted monsters in committing crimes, so he and this county magistrate set up this plan to capture the monster king first, and then pretend to leave the county to lure you scums." Cui Qi rolled his eyes at the county magistrate and cursed, "Idiot." Still unwilling to give up, he asked Zhou Sen: "How did you find out that it was someone in the government office who committed the crime, rather than a monster? And how did you determine that the county magistrate was not involved?" Zhou Sen replied: "Ever since I got the case file and investigated the information of each household, I have always had a big doubt in my mind. The kidnappers are very familiar with the terrain of Changnan County, and they know the situation of each household. They know which family has unmarried girls. This seems to be difficult for ordinary people to do." "Later, we arranged to lure the kidnappers to commit the crime, but after a period of time, we changed several groups of people and went to many places in the county without success. So we suspected it at the time, or we can say that at the time I am sure that someone in the county government must have assisted. It's just that I didn't know at that time that you planned all this." "As for why, I don't doubt the county magistrate. The county magistrate's son died, and the county magistrate hated the dog wolf monster. He couldn't pretend to hate it." "As for other people in the government, I can't be sure whether they were involved, so didn't you notice? The people who participated in arresting you this time were all guards and warriors I borrowed from the victim's family. Even some of the victim's family members got involved. It took me a lot of effort to catch you. Look at your legs, they are much thinner from running."
