People are in the division of eliminating demons, and martial arts have evolved by themselves

Chapter 72
Not long after walking, Zhou You saw a restaurant called Mingzhulou.

The street was deserted, and the noise from the restaurant was naturally not much better.Even when it was time for dinner, there were only a few people in the hall, Xiao Er was swatting flies boredly.

Seeing Zhou You walk in, the shopkeeper with a frowning face hurriedly greeted him: "Guest officer, do you want to stay in the shop or eat?"

"Both." Zhou You casually took out a piece of silver and put it in the hands of the shopkeeper.

As a demon slayer, I have basically no concept of such things as silver.

For example, Zhou You, as an intermediate demon slayer, his monthly salary is 50 taels.

Don't think this number is small.

Because demon slayers rarely use silver, and martial arts cheats and panacea are all exchanged with contribution points, silver is of little use to them.

Moreover, the monthly salary of ordinary county magistrates is only 30 taels.

Of course, this is income on the bright side.

Three years of Qing Dynasty prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver.

This point was vividly reflected in Song Jue, the magistrate of Linjiang.

The shopkeeper burst into a smile, and personally greeted Zhou You to sit down and wiped the table for him.

From his performance, it can be seen how bad the business of the restaurant is these days.

"Shopkeeper, this is the first time I've come to your Huai county. Why do you feel that it's too deserted and not popular at all." Zhou You asked seemingly casually.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhou You's previous piece of money, and said in a low voice: "The guest officer doesn't know, some weird things happened in our Huai County these days. It made people panic, and everyone didn't want to go out."

"What is it?" Zhou You became interested.

"Do you know that Zeng Feng was the magistrate of our county not long ago. He committed suicide in the backyard of the county office in the middle of the night. I heard that the internal organs were all hollowed out, and no one has explained it yet."

"I don't even know how this world has become like this."

"Young master, you should go out less at night and pay attention to safety."

The shopkeeper said something kindly.

"I see." Zhou You nodded slightly.

After the shopkeeper went down, Zhou You frowned.

He didn't expect that Zeng Feng's hanging in this county would be such a riot, and everyone felt in danger.

What is going on in this Huai County?
Why did they focus on Zeng Feng, the county magistrate?
Zhou You tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.

The next day.

Huai County Government.

Ma County Magistrate, who had officially taken office, was wearing a red official robe. Looking at the pile of documents in front of him, he shook his head and sighed.

"Master Tang, this is really a mistake. I thought I would happily buy a county magistrate and be an official, but I didn't expect that the previous county magistrate died unexpectedly, and he died so horribly!"

"No wonder those bastards from the bureaucracy promised me a [-]% discount!"

"There really isn't a free lunch in this world!"

"I passed that small village when I came here. If I hadn't met that hero, I'm afraid I would have confessed my hundreds of catties of meat to it."

Magistrate Ma chattered and sighed: "I think it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, the noise is too violent."

He became an official because he wanted to come to Huai County to earn money. After all, this place is not small.

But after knowing what happened here, the intestines are full of regret.

Ma County magistrate is now afraid that he will earn money instead of spending it.

The idea of ​​leaving suddenly came to mind.

This buying an official is a waste of money, but I can't let my own life be discounted, otherwise the deal will lose a lot of money.

Master Tang also frowned, and said in a deep thought: "If a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, this place really shouldn't be here."

After finally getting a master, he didn't want to give up so easily, but Huai County was too dangerous, even the county magistrate could die in the backyard of the county government.

"Yes, there is no fear of running out of firewood to keep the green hills. We will wait for those who dismiss the county government and leave directly!" Ma County magistrate takes his own life very seriously.

At this time, a yamen servant hurried in.

"Magistrate Ma, there is an adult exterminator coming to see you outside the door!"

"The Exorcist is here?" Ma County Magistrate heard, his gray and defeated eyes instantly shone.

"It's outside the door now." The yamen servant nodded.

"Hurry up and invite the Master of the Exorcist!" Master Tang hurriedly ordered.

The yamen servant was ordered to resign.

"Master Tang, the people from the Exorcist Division are here. Why don't we wait a little longer?" Ma County Magistrate's original idea of ​​resolutely leaving has changed slightly.

Master Tang also agreed: "This demon division specializes in dealing with those strange things. Every demon demon is powerful and ruthless. With him in charge, those treacherous monsters must not dare to be so rampant. Our safety can still be guaranteed.”

"It makes sense, let's observe the situation first."

Magistrate Ma nodded repeatedly.

People are lucky animals. When there is a glimmer of hope, no one wants to give up what they have worked so hard to get.

Soon, a handsome figure with an imposing figure walked into the courtroom.

"Hero, why is it you?" Magistrate Ma couldn't help exclaiming when he saw the person coming.

Zhou You smiled slightly: "Master Ma, I said we will meet again."

Master Tang showed a thoughtful expression.

He remembered that in that weird mountain village the night before, Zhou You was so calm, but his methods were so fierce and bloody.

After knowing that Zhou You is a demon slayer, there is no sense of disobedience.

"Isn't it a coincidence that we met in Xiaoshan Village that night?" Magistrate Ma understood.

Zhou You didn't answer, just smiled.

His expression said the answer.

"It's dangerous. Fortunately, this hero came to the door before he left. If he slipped away and came to the door again, it would not be easy to catch him with his means, and it would be a disaster." Ma County magistrate was still a little rejoiced .

"By the way, I don't know your name yet." Master Tang cupped his hands.

Zhou You said with a smile: "Master Exterminator, Zhou You."

"Master Zhou, I think you know about the situation in Huai County, and I will leave my life to you." County Magistrate Ma said solemnly.

Zhou You returned to the topic: "I came here today to investigate the death of the former county magistrate Zeng Feng."

Magistrate Ma said bluntly: "I have just arrived here too, I am afraid you will have to ask the original arrester of the county government about the specific situation."

As he spoke, he gave Mr. Tang a look.

Master Tang understood, walked out of the courtroom, and brought a lean and capable man in after a while.

"This is the head catcher of the county government, Pang Chao Pang head catcher!"

That man would also salute Zhou You with his fists in his hands, "I've met Mr. Zhou."

Zhou You didn't talk nonsense: "Is Magistrate Zeng's body still there?"

Pang Butou shook his head and said, "Magistrate Zeng has been dead for too long, and the weather is so hot that the body is stinky and rotten. He was cremated five days ago."
