I, peach demon, super sultry

The sky was only gray and bright, but Fengyang City was not as noisy as usual in the morning, the streets were covered with thick white morning fog, and the surroundings were almost eerily quiet.

At this time, there was a sound of "stepping" from the blue stone at the end.

A man riding a donkey slowly came out of the layers of fog. He was holding a long rope in his hand. Behind him was a lame man whose arms were tied by the rope and was being dragged away. The robe was stained with dried blood.

The man on the donkey is very handsome, with starry eyes and sword eyebrows, thin lips pursed, serious expression, and a black long sword lying on his back, wearing plain blue bunt, he is exactly what people in the world call "the lone knight" Yang Qidao.

The quietness along the way made him a little surprised. Fengyang City is known as the "Wine Country", attracting countless businessmen and people from the rivers and lakes to come here in search of fine wine.

It stands to reason that every day before dawn is already very lively, why is it so quiet now?

Did something happen?

While thinking this way, he saw the largest brothel in Fengyang City "Yihong Courtyard" in front of him.

This kind of fireworks place, usually at this hour, there are still many guests' carriages parked in front of the door.

But now not only is it empty, even the plaque hanging on it is tilted aside, and the inside is even darker.

A look of surprise flashed in Yang Qidao's eyes, he rode the donkey over and jumped off.

Just as he was about to go in, he glanced at Jiang Yang who was caught by him. Although his martial arts had been abolished, just in case, he tapped the opponent's acupoints to stay in place, and then walked up the steps and walked in with confidence.

Dim light shines through the window paper, and one can vaguely see the mess inside.

The gauze curtains on the beams fell to the ground, the tables and chairs were tilted, and the pastries and snacks were scattered all over the floor. Several huge mice gathered around to eat, and ran away in panic when they saw someone coming in.

Yang Qidao walked around upstairs and downstairs, but he didn't find anyone, which made him even more puzzled.

When he went out, it was a little brighter, but there were still no pedestrians on the street. His face darkened, and he could conclude that something happened in Fengyang City.

But it also happened to go to the Yamen, where there should be the answer he wanted to know.

Without delaying here, he quickly rushed to the Yamen with his donkey and Jiang Yang's robbers...

When he came to the yamen, Yang Qidao frowned and looked at the roof. Why did he come this time to make people feel uncomfortable.

Only then did the gate open from the inside, and several yamen servants saw him and shouted, "Hero Yang!"

"En." Yang Qidao nodded.

"Xiong Baili!" The leading yamen servant recognized the embarrassed man tied up behind him.

It was Jiang Yang's bandit on the reward list. This guy was a man who did all sorts of evil things. Although the imperial court issued a reward order, he was very treacherous and had high martial arts skills. He escaped several times when he was besieged.

But now he is not only caught by Yang Qidao, a "lone knight" who has been arresting criminals for the court, but is also seriously injured.

The yamen servant looked at Yang Qidao with some admiration in his eyes, "As expected of Hero Yang, he finally caught him!"

Yang Qidao smiled slightly, "It's just a little effort."

The leading yamen servant ordered to the subordinates beside him, "Quickly put Xiong Baili in a prison cell and wait for your lord's punishment."

"Yes!" His subordinates supported Xiong Baili and retreated.

The leading yamen servant made a gesture of invitation, "Please come to the office to receive the reward, Mr. Yang and I."

"This matter is not urgent." Yang Qidao gave up, "I want to pay a visit to County Magistrate Yu first."

"Oh, good." The yamen servant immediately led the way, "I will take you there."

When the two entered the backyard, Yang Qidao smelled an overly strong fragrance, "What is so fragrant?"

"That's not it." The yamen servant replied, "It's the lotus in the pond that bloomed. It's strange to say that the white lotus bloomed in previous years, but the red lotus bloomed this year. It's beautiful, but it's really impressive to see it." It’s in a panic, I’m afraid it’s caused by that incident, so our lord plans to let the servants deal with the flowers today.”

Yang Qidao grasped the key point and said, "That matter?"

"Hey." The yamen servant hesitated, as if he was afraid to say anything, "Hero Yang will ask your lord about this later."

Yang Qidao didn't make things difficult for him. When he was walking on the promenade, he passed the pond and saw that the lotus inside was really blooming bright red, and the drops of water on it slid down like blood, and there seemed to be a trace of A different flavor.

When he came to a corner, the yamen servant saw that he was thinking, so he reminded him aloud. "Hero Yang, this way please."

"Oh, good." Yang Qidao didn't think about it any more, and continued walking with him, but suddenly felt a cold gaze behind him.

He turned his head and saw a carp jumping out of the water. It was not the first time he had come to the yamen in Fengyang City, but this time, he had a very bad feeling, but he couldn't say what it was.

When he came to the inner hall and sat down to drink tea, when Yu Xingen heard the report from his subordinates, he hurriedly came out of the inner room, saw Yang Qidao, and exclaimed with great joy, "So it is Yang Daxia."

"Master Yu!" Yang Qidao cupped his fists, but couldn't help but look at Yu Xingen. He stood at thirty and was handsome, but he hadn't seen him for a year, his face was so sallow, and his body was so thin, he frowned and asked, " Is your lord sick?"

"Ah, I was a little frightened." Yu Xingen subconsciously coughed a few times.

Sitting on the seat, the yamen servant sighed after whispering something in his ear, "Unexpectedly, Hero Yang captured Xiong Baili this time, and sent me here specially. I am really flattered."

"Xiong Baili's martial arts is useless now, and I leave it to the adults to deal with." Yang Qidao captured Xiong Baili nearby, so naturally he found a yamen nearby, but he was mistaken for deliberately but didn't bother to explain.

Yu Xingen was in a good mood, and the Jiangyang thief was taken into custody in his yamen, adding to his achievements, "The existence of Hero Yang is simply a blessing to my court, and Xiong Baili is a man in the Jianghu. The imperial court doesn't intervene too much in Jianghu, so the imperial court has always been powerless to deal with a brutal person like Xiong Baili..."

Yang Qidao interrupted the flattery he would say every time he came, "My lord, I want to know what happened in Fengyang City?"

"Hero Yang, you guessed it right!" Yu Linen looked panicked and trembled uncontrollably, "This is not just an accident, it's a big accident!"

"Oh?" Yang Qidao said in his heart that it was true, and asked, "What happened?"

"This..." Yu Linen took a sip of tea, recalling the situation at that time with lingering fear, "Hero Yang, you don't know something, this happened half a month ago."

The two sat relatively close to each other, and there was a scent similar to lotus flowers in the pond from each other, which made Yang Qidao feel a little uncomfortable, but his face remained calm, "I would like to hear more about it."

County magistrate Yu also went to have fun at that time. Although he had no intention of competing, he had to say that when he saw such a young man, he was obviously not very good-looking, but he was still involuntarily attracted to him.

But who would have thought that it was a monster!

He looked around for a while, as if he was afraid of something, he leaned into Yang Qidao's ear and whispered, "That day, Yihong Court sold a young man who had just bought it. The young man took off his own head and flew around, everyone present was scared to death."

"Take off the head?" Hearing such an evil thing, Yang Qidao didn't immediately believe it, "Did he use some kind of blindfold?"

"The head is flying all over the place. If it's a cover-up, I've been having nightmares for several days." Yu Xingen patted his chest and continued, "And the stuttering sheet that sold the buns that day also accepted that little boy. I heard that the peach leaves turned into peach leaves at night, so I came to report to the officials because I was too scared, those leaves were too wicked, I also found a master to suppress them with talisman paper and put them in the yamen."

Yang Qidao raised his sword eyebrows, "Is there such a thing? I wonder if I can take a look at the peach leaves that can be turned into copper coins."

"Of course!" County Magistrate Yu immediately shouted to the yamen servant, "Hurry up and present that peach leaf."

"Yes." The yamen servant hurried back, holding a box wrapped in talisman paper in his hand.

As soon as Yang Qidao took it, Yu Xingen obviously moved to the side, "Well, I'll sit farther away."

The yamen servant also nervously ran behind him, "My lord, I will protect you!"

Yang Qidao smiled, opened the box, and saw a few slender peach leaves inside.

Picking up one piece, staring at it for a long time but not seeing anything special, he said, "It's just an ordinary peach leaf."

Hearing his doubts, County Magistrate Yu became a little anxious, "Hey, Hero Yang, what I said is absolutely true. Leaving aside this leaf, how could I lie and cheat when so many eyes were watching the situation at that time?" you."

Yang Qidao twirled the peach leaf and asked slowly, "Can someone check it, my lord?"

"Uh..." Yu Xingen suddenly became embarrassed, thinking of those few days when he was hiding under the covers and shivering.

But for the sake of image, he naturally wouldn't say it, "When...of course...for more than ten days, the people I sent checked and checked, but there was no clue at all. Now the people of Fengyang City can be These two monsters have suffered a lot, and they dare not come out until daytime. Yang Daxia, you are the most chivalrous... Now that everyone is panicked by the monsters, I hope you can take over this matter. Of course, as long as Yang Daxia subdue the monsters, I will definitely report it to the imperial court, and I believe that there will be a lot of rewards at that time!"

Yang Qidao was not moved by the bounty, but still nodded and said, "Okay, I really want to see if it's a god or a ghost."

Someone promised to come forward, and Yu Xingen couldn't wish for it, but whether the other party succeeds or not is beneficial to him, "That's great, if Daxia Yang makes a move, those two monsters will never be able to hide!"

Yang Qidao still felt that this matter was a bit of a fantasy, "However, it is still unbelievable how there are goblins in the world. I guess it is the work of someone with a heart."

Yu Xing'en said, "Oh, I'd rather believe it than believe it. There are so many strange things in this world. If Daxia Yang goes to investigate, he must be careful."

"It's not too late, I'll go now." Yang Qidao didn't want to procrastinate for too long, and suddenly said when he stood up, "By the way, is the fragrance on Mr. Yu's body a bit too strong?"

"Ah, the scent?" Yu Xingen smelled himself, and asked the servant next to him suspiciously, "Why didn't I smell it? Did you smell it?"

"No." The yamen servant also shook his head.

"Is that so?" Yang Qidao didn't say anything, and said calmly, "Then I will take my leave."
