Man Shun didn't urge him, just looked at him with a smile.

High head catcher - grit his teeth:

"Brother Lao Manshun is here!"

"It's easy to say, Gao catcher, please follow me!"

Catcher Gao thought for a while and grabbed Manshun, took out a jade pendant from his bosom and stuffed it into Manshun's hand:

"I got this a few days ago. At that time, I thought it was suitable for my brother, so I stayed here. Brother Manshun didn't dislike it, so I took it and played with it."

Man Shun understood what he meant and did not refuse, and took it with a smile:

"That's how I thank Catcher Gao. Tomorrow, I'll be the host and invite Catcher Gao and a few brothers to eat!"

Gao Baotou laughed:

"Then Brother Manshun will spend the money. One day when you're ready to make a call, you'll be fine. The brothers are all free!"

The two talked and laughed and walked in, like a good brother.

Arriving outside Jia Yu's study, Gao Butou said seriously:

"Gao Sheng has seen the adults!"

"Captain Gao, come in and sit down!"

"My lord, something serious has happened. Guo Yuanwai, a rich man in the north of the city—a family of more than 30 people—all died overnight. There were no obvious injuries on his body, and there was no blood on the scene. The villain checked and found no trace of foreign thieves entering the house. , the villain can't make up his mind, so he has to come and report to the adults!"

Jia Yu frowned and hurriedly stood up:

"Go to the scene now, and tell me as you walk, when did this happen, and why didn't you report it to me at the first time!"

Gao Catcher was a little embarrassed:

"Yes - early in the morning, Guo Yuanwai's neighbors discovered the wrong official. My lord, forgive me, because we in Yunzhou have always had cases that are investigated by the arresting head, and they were reported to the lord only when they could not be found. It is different from other places. This is why..."

Jia Yu smiled lightly:

"So that's the case, so let's change it from now on. By the way, the people beat the drums to report the crime. Whoever picks it up is Gao Butou?"

Catcher Gao hurriedly waved his hands:

"No, no, the little one dares to take the case, the case that Mr. Shi Muhe took over was assigned to the little one for investigation!"

"Oh! Then why didn't He Shimu come over?"

Catcher Gao's eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to answer:

"Xu Shi, Mr. Xu Shihe is also afraid of the rumors about the government office and dare not come in."

Guo Yuanwai—who lives in the east of the city—in a magnificent five-entry mansion. The whole family, from the master to the servants—a total of 35 people, were all murdered by a mysterious murderer.

When Jia Yu arrived at the scene, the first thing she looked at was the corpse.

The expressions of the deceased were surprisingly peaceful, and most of them were lying on the bed. If you didn't look carefully, you would think they were asleep. Obviously, they were killed in their sleep.

And who can come and go without a trace like this, and at the same time kill these people without being discovered?

Jia Yu simply didn't think about it.

"Should I use the corpse finder to look at it?"

Boss Cang nodded:

"That's a good idea, maybe we can find something."

The corpse-hunting talisman is the only practical talisman that Jia Yu has just learned. Jia Yu cherishes the talisman that he has successfully drawn for the first time.

Pinched the spell with his hands and ignited the spell, and the corpses in the whole room showed a different scene from just now.

I saw black footprints appearing on the originally clean blue brick floor, and Di Lang, who was recording with a pen, said:

"The footprints look like six inches and three feet, and they look like women's feet."

Look at the bed again—there are traces of fire, and I can't guess what caused it for the time being.

"Could it be the ghost who burned the dead?" Jia Yu speculated.

"Burning ghosts to kill people should be arson, right?" Di Lang said.

Jia Yu shrugged, who knows, he has never seen it.

Look at Guo Yuanwai and his concubine lying on the bed. At this time, there is no peaceful image seen before. They are so shriveled as if they have been dried and drained of water. However-looking at their necks, it is not difficult to find There are two holes in it.

Jia Yu was surprised, these two holes looked familiar to him.

"Could it be bitten by a corpse demon?"

I thought to myself, last night there was a corpse demon in his mansion, and today - someone was murdered. Could it be that the corpse had already run out to harm people before he and Cang returned to the mansion?Di Lang and him looked at each other in blank dismay. Both uncle and nephew had no experience in this field, so they couldn't be sure.

Although Boss Cang is well-informed, I'm afraid this little corpse monster is rare, right?

Catcher Gao—followed Jia Yu straight away, and was dumbfounded when he heard his words:

"Corpse, corpse demon? Your lord, are you kidding me?"

Jia Yu looked at him puzzled:

"Actually, I have always had a question. In a mountainous area like Yunzhou, there are often monsters and spirits. You should not blame them. How can you change your face when you hear the monsters?"

Catcher Gao froze, and said with a dry smile:

"Impossible? Are demons very common? I've never seen them before."

Jia Yu looked at him—without saying a word, thinking that you haven't seen it before, it's not uncommon.Now the new yamen servant with him is a monster that can transform into form, and ordinary people can't see through it.

"My lord, since it has been found out that it was done by a demon, can the case be closed? Does Guo Yuanwai's house have to be burned to prevent the demon from changing?" Gao Catcher asked.

Jia Yu nodded:

"Are there any survivors in Guo Yuanwai's family? There will be a sound when the body is burned. There is also a property issue..."

"Uh, it seems that Mr. He has brought back Guo Yuanwai's warehouse as evidence. However, it seems that the Guo family does not have any close relatives, and some of them are only distant relatives of the same clan." Catcher Gao whispered.

Jia Yu raised her eyebrows and looked at Gao Butou in surprise. It seems that the Yunzhou Yamen is not a solid one.

"Even so, the property must be returned. Ah Liu?"

"grown ups!"

"Take a few people to Mr. He to bring the evidence into the government office. Remember not to leave out any evidence, so as not to miss anything when the family members come to ask for it."

"Yes, don't worry, my lord, you guys will finish the task!" After finishing speaking, Ah Liu took several other monster servants to look for He Shimu.

Only then did Catcher Gao notice the people around Jia Yu, and he couldn't help being surprised.

Originally, he thought that these people were Mrs. Jia's domestic slaves. So there are still government servants?

The reason why he sold Mr. Jia was because he had been observing for nearly a month, and found that Mr. Jia really deserved to be from everyone, and he brought dozens of attendants with him when he took office.

Seeing that he has lived in the government office for so long without any accident, and he has solved the situation of Zhoujiazhuang being oppressed by the demon king for more than ten years, he believes that he is a real person, and he wants to make friends with him and sell him well.

As for the affairs between the adults, he didn't want to interfere.

He Shimu Jia Yu, who has only met one side, has no idea. He has been busy with the farmland but neglected the government office. The people complained and followed them. They went to the temporary government office, but no one came. This is a serious government office, it seems that it can no longer be ignored, so let's start with Mr. He.

There were more and more things, and Jia Yu felt more and more that it was difficult to be an official.

It is naturally difficult for subordinates who do not have the heart to do things.

And right now it's -- headache after -- headache.

"If this corpse is not found, I'm afraid that someone else will die. What do you think should be done?"

Back in the government office, Jia Yu held a meeting with her three masters.

Master Shuqi Master Cai swallowed his saliva:

"My lord, how can this person fight against the demon, it is better to invite a monk and Taoist priest with strong mana!"

Jia Yu nodded:

"Master is right." Not only to get rid of demons, but also to ask capable monks and Taoists to draw some spells to protect the common people from demons.

"Then..." Master Cai looked at Jia Yu expectantly.

Jia Yu said seriously:

"Invite monks and Taoists—I'll leave it up to Master."

Master Cai: ...

"Uncle, do you think this corpse is the same as the one from last night?" Di Lang winked at Houya.

"I have already asked Man Shun to invite Lord Zhou to come over." Jia Yu said lightly.

Whether it was or not he wasn't sure.

"How should we deal with that?" Jia Yu asked Boss Xiang Cang.

Cang Boss said:

"Don't worry about this, I'm afraid there is something to say in it, let's talk about it when the yamen servant who went to Maoshan to lead people comes back."

Jia Yu's expression was cold, Cang never talks nonsense, so I'm afraid that Taoist Maoshan really knows the inside story?

There was silence—for a while, until Ah Liu and the others brought back the "evidence" from He Shimu.

"My lord, my villain, etc. were lucky enough to fulfill my mission, so I brought them back." Ah Liu handed over the account book to Jia Yu.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's rest first. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." Jia Yu didn't look through it right away, but praised them with relief.

"If you have something to do, just tell us, we should obey!"

Jia Yu nodded in satisfaction, look, this is the benefit of her own people, being ordered.

"My lord, Master Zhou is here!"

"Please come over."

"grown ups!"

Master Zhou saluted respectfully.

Jia Yu nodded:

"Master Zhou, sit down. I asked you to come here because I have something to ask you. Did your body run outside yesterday?"

Lord Zhou shook his head without thinking:

"I haven't left. He didn't wake up until the official came last night, and then he used the spell given by the Taoist priest to fight... until the lord came back." He really didn't know what to call his body.

"Are you sure he hasn't left before?"

Lord Zhou thought for a while and shook his head:

"I haven't left. When Xiaguan first came yesterday, he was the same as usual. It doesn't look like he has left."

Jia Yu had a headache. Since it wasn't this, did it mean that he was not just a corpse in Yunzhou?

In addition to Mr. Zhou who was counted as a corpse, there was another unknown one.

Right now, this corpse who doesn't know where it is may still suck human blood, but he doesn't know where he will go to make trouble, which makes his parents big.

"What to do? Where to start?"—no idea at all.

Di Lang thought for a while and said:

"In my nephew's humble opinion, it's better to still patrol around Guo Yuanwai's house. Why the corpse demon chose Guo Yuanwai's house is still a mystery. If that's the case, it's better to keep a few people around there to guard, maybe there will be any gains?"

Jia Yu sighed:

"At present, we can only give it a try."

"Give those yamen servants a chance, all the yamen servants will be sent out, and those who refuse to go will be dismissed tomorrow!" Jia Yu said coldly.

"My lord is brilliant!" Man Shun praised.

Jia Yu thought to himself, what a clever move he did, it was clearly a helpless move.

To be an official in Shengdi is not to be timid.

If you were the head of the Yamen in your hometown in Jinling, it would take so much effort to replace the disobedient servants.

Now I have no choice but to take over the government's money and food after I arrive. Although it is not so much, it is enough to support the government's expenses.

What he needs right now is manpower, he urgently needs talents!
