I have a book of ghosts and gods

Chapter 63 Cowhide Bags
Gotta get someone to help with this.

Jiang Zhou didn't know many people, almost all of them were from the Sujing Division and the Tiexi Division.

As it happens, these two places may lack everything, but there is absolutely no shortage of death row prisoners.

He can't do anything with the living, and he doesn't want to disturb the innocent dead.

He can only go to the death row for those heinous crimes.

Most of the prisoners on death row in Sujingsi are demons, and the relationship is very important, so there is no need to consider it.

So Jiang Zhou found Yan Xiaowu again.

……

In the Yanbo Building.

Yan Xiaowu was looking at the storyteller on the stage, and said with a bit of annoyance: "What Lao Tan has said recently has become more and more boring. It's the same old way of saying it."

After Jiang Zhou said that he wanted to ask him for help, Yan Xiaowu spit out the seeds.

Staring at a pair of small eyes: "You, what do you want me for? Human skin?!"

"Keep your voice down!"

Jiang Zhou slapped him angrily, then looked around with a guilty conscience.

Yan Xiaowu was stunned for a while: "No, there is a hand on the side of this tall character, do you want to do it?"

"..."

Jiang Zhou's face twitched: "Can you stop talking so much?"

Yan Xiaowu squinted: "You are allowed to be a romantic and talented person, and you are not allowed to export into a chapter?"

Jiang Zhou scolded: "Bah! A hanged ghost is so pretty, it's shameless to die!"

Yan Xiaowu was delighted: "Ha, you can even do this?"

Jiang Zhouxuan smiled: "Can I know what you know?"

"Okay, you are a genius of the Three Greats, are you good at it?"

Jiang Zhou said: "Don't talk nonsense, you can get it with just one sentence?"

Yan Xiaowu hesitated for a moment: "I can get it... What do you want?"

Jiang Zhou didn't hide it from him: "Painting a talisman."

"You can draw talismans? Human skin talismans?" Yan Xiaowu looked suspicious: "Where did you learn this evil thing?"

Jiang Zhou corrected: "Evil sect stuff? I am the authentic Taoist sect!"

Yan Xiaowu looked suspicious, but still scratched his head and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask, the Autumn Judgment is coming soon, and there are quite a few in the death row..."

"But for such an unfortunate thing, you don't want to send me away with such a meal, right?"

"What do you want? When I give you two, you'll know it's amazing."

Yan Xiaowu said in disgust, "Forget it, you can sing poetry and writing, draw talismans? Don't make any ghostly talismans, and this kind of thing is scary, keep it for yourself."

You really guessed it right, it's a ghost painting.

Jiang Zhou pouted, it's ok not to be really fragrant when the time comes.

Yan Xiaowu waved his hand a little boringly and said, "By the way, didn't you say you can write a script? Just write a script for me when the time comes."

"Okay, then thank you very much, there is still something to do in the Yali, let's go first."

Jiang Zhou hadn't been on duty in the Sujing Division for several days, that is to say, he was treated like this in the face of Li Xuance.

Yan Xiaowu shouted, "Wait, are you going to die or live?"

These words were a bit gloomy and cruel, making Jiang Zhou feel a little guilty.

"The big cart pulls the king, and I'm here (carrying) you."

He waved his hand without looking back and hurried away.

"This sentence is new, I learned it."

Yan Xiaowu was stunned for a while, and after reminiscing about the newly learned jokes, he suddenly reacted: "No! This kid scolds me!"

……

"Brother Jiang, you are back."

As soon as Jiang Zhou returned to Sujingsi, Jin Jiu came over.

As soon as he saw him, he handed over a paper and said, "Where have you gone? Captain You has been looking for you."

Jiang Zhou was stunned: "What's wrong?"

Jin Jiu said, "It only takes a few days for you to disappear, so how many things have you been delayed?"

"Xiaowei You wants you to start working in the settlement room tomorrow. All the cases on this file belong to you, and you need to deal with them within seven days."

He has been on the top of the mountain, and not many people know what happened with Li Xuance.

In seven days?
Jiang Zhou opened the document and looked at it. This figure made him guess that [-]% of it was arranged by Li Xuance's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This old boy You Xu is very polite to him now, and it is unlikely that he will deliberately cause trouble for him.

"I didn't expect you to be able to sit in the hall so soon."

Jin Jiu was a little envious.

Ordinary demon guards only need to obey orders.

But there are so many demons in the world, and there are only so many people in the Sujing Division, it is impossible to rely on a few captains.

Therefore, some outstanding and capable people will be selected from the demon patrol guards to sit in court to try some complicated and ordinary cases.

The demon guards who can sit in the hall must be the best among them. If there is no accident, it is very likely that he will be promoted to captain in the future.

And Jin Jiu has been a demon guard in Sujingsi for nearly ten years, and he has never received this kind of treatment. No wonder he would be envious.

Jin Jiu persuaded again: "But you still have to be careful, although you are not what you used to be, but Xiaowei You is a Shangguan after all, don't let him grab the handle."

Jiang Zhou knew that he was well-intentioned, and he couldn't explain it, so he could only nod his head.

In fact, with You Xu's character, now unless his skin is torn and Li Xuance personally ordered to take him, Li Dongyang said in public that he had nothing to do with him, or both of them suddenly kicked their legs and finished playing, otherwise he would not dare to pit himself again. .

Jin Jiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much, I've seen all these cases, they're all small ones, you've read books, you've got a good brain, and you're not like us rough people, it's not difficult to try, even if To deal with demons, with your current ability, bring a few more swordsmen, it should not be difficult to deal with, if not, there are brothers, feel free to say hello if you have anything."

Jiang Zhou nodded: "Don't worry, I'll save it, thank you very much."

After Jin Jiu left, he carefully read the case file in his hand.

More than a dozen cases are indeed not major cases.

Many of them are ordinary people who have encountered some strange things, think that they have encountered monsters and ghosts, and are afraid in their hearts, so they come to the Sujing Division to report to the official.

It doesn't even matter if it's a demon or not.

The degree of danger is not high, but it is very cumbersome. It must be time-consuming and labor-intensive to clarify them one by one.

……

The next day, Jiang Zhou came to Baijietang early.

In the side wing of Baijietang, there are more than ten ear rooms, which are the settlement rooms of the demon patrol.

Specializing in the matter of resolving grievances and knots, the solution is the criminal lawsuits implicated by humans and ghosts, and the grievances caused by demons and monsters.

Jiang Zhou was sitting behind the case, and there were already four sword-holders standing behind him.

According to the order they sorted out, let them bring the parties involved in those cases separately.

Soon, more than a dozen suffering masters were brought in, waiting to be called outside.

Jiang Zhou first let the bitter master of the first case go to court.

"Are you Yu Deshui?"

A middle-aged man in silk clothes stood below the hall. Hearing the words, he said, "It's me! It's me! Lord, you must catch that demon!"

Jiang Zhou was noncommittal, while flipping through the file in his hand.

This Yu Deshui is a trader.

A few days ago, the cargo was transported and entered Wu County along the Huai River.

Docked at a ferry port not far outside the county town, while unloading the cargo, a man found a half-human-high, bulging cowhide bag from the water.

Yu Deshui asked people to salvage the cowhide bag, opened it, and was horrified.

Just because the bag was full of teeth, fingers, toes, etc., it looked like it had come down from a person and was bloody.

Yu Deshui, who was frightened, immediately let the man go into the city to report to the official.

He was afraid of losing the bag of people's fingers and toes, and he couldn't speak clearly, causing trouble.

Only a small part was divided and the man took it, and the rest was kept on the ship for safekeeping.

But it didn't take long for the guy who went to report to the official to come back with a wound.

According to the buddy, he was stopped by an old woman halfway through, and he would grab the bag with fingers and toes without a word.
