Liao Zhai Great Kind People

Chapter 261: Gong Xi Fa Cai
After a while of flying around, Yang Jian and Ji Gong explained their intentions and stayed at Zhang Xiu's house.

After all, Zhang Xiu is the only person on their side who possesses demon energy, and only by following him can he find and eradicate the minions of the demon, and restore peace to the world.

Zhang Xiu led the two of them around the city for a long time, and finally came to an inn, frowning at the door for a long time, looking hesitant.

Seeing this, Yang Jian couldn't help raising his vigilance, and asked in a low voice, "Is the minion of the demon inside very tricky?"

Zhang Xiu came back to her senses and said, "No, I'm a little thirsty, but I don't have any money with me, and I'm thinking of a way to drink tea without spending money."

The corners of Yang Jian's eyes twitched twice, and he said, "Go in, I've brought money."

Zhang Xiu showed a smiling face: "Then I won't be polite, second cousin, you pay the bill this time, Master Daoji will come next time!"

Jigong shook his head: "The monk can't even afford clothes, but he has no money to treat guests."

Zhang Xiudao: "Master, don't be modest. With your superlative cultivation, you can make a lot of money by carrying sacks on the wharf for a few months!"

Monk:"……"

Is the cultivation base I have accumulated for ten lifetimes used to carry sacks?
Jigong rolled his eyes and followed Zhang Xiu to the inn.

After ordering some refreshments and a pot of tea, Jigong grabbed a piece of shortbread and ate it without any image. The dregs of the shortbread splashed all over the table, making Yang Jian frown.

Just as he was about to sneer, a thin middle-aged man came in from the backyard, leading five donkeys and tying them under the stable. return."

Then I remembered something, and said, "Don't give them water to drink." After finishing speaking, they went out.

The donkeys, scorched by the sun and restless, kicked and brayed in the backyard.

The shopkeeper took a look, afraid that they would disturb other customers, so he led them to a cool place.

As soon as the donkey saw the water, it struggled to run over, and the owner let the donkey drink enough.In a blink of an eye, a donkey was seen rolling on the ground, making the yard dusty.

The shopkeeper was a little flustered, standing there at a loss, and kept asking: "What's wrong with this donkey, what should I do?"

A donkey is not cheap, and if it dies in his store, the customers will definitely ask him to pay for it.

And even if he bought the donkey, he couldn't sell the diseased donkey meat to other customers. Wouldn't the money be thrown away for nothing?
Seeing the rolling donkey, Zhang Xiu couldn't bear it, and said, "This donkey is sick. Do you think I should let it live, or put green onions and ginger?"

Yang Jian squinted at him: "I don't have enough money to buy a donkey."

While the two were talking, the donkey rolling on the ground suddenly turned into a woman, and stopped rolling with pain on its face.

The shopkeeper was stunned by the scene in front of him, and stood there, unable to react for a long time.

Zhang Xiu and the others also came to the yard with surprised faces, looked at the woman on the ground, and began to size them up carefully.

Yang Jian frowned slightly and said, "It's not a monster, she's a human."

Zhang Xiu asked, "Sister, how did you become a donkey?"

The woman opened her mouth in a panic, but the root of her tongue was stiff and she couldn't speak at all.

When Jigong saw this, he put his hand into his clothes, rubbed a pellet of mud, and fed it into the woman's mouth.

After eating the pill, the woman retched and said in a trembling voice, "It was that demon who turned me into a donkey just now! He's coming back soon, take me away!"

Jigong slapped his forehead suddenly, and said: "I just remembered, in the past 50 years, there has been a kind of witchcraft circulating in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that it can turn people into livestock, and the transformed livestock are exactly the same as the real ones. If there are no flaws, it is called making animals.

Those who were turned into livestock were either sold to work or sold to be slaughtered, and those who cast the spell made profits.I've only heard of it before, but this is the first time I've encountered it. "

Yang Jian said with a cold face: "To actually cast such a harmful witchcraft on people, this person deserves to be killed."

Listening to the conversation of several people, the shopkeeper turned pale with fright, and tremblingly said: "Go to report to the official, I'm going to report to the official!"

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Don't bother, I'm the official!"

As he spoke, he took out a token and waved it in front of the shopkeeper, "I am the prefect of Jinhua who visited privately on Weifu."

Then he pointed to Yang Jian and Ji Gong, and introduced: "These two are my guards, San Dezi and Fa Yin."

Yang Jian:"……"

Monk:"……"

Why was the name changed when I came out to have a cup of tea?
And on your token, it says "Gong Xi Fa Cai"! !
The shopkeeper didn't seem to understand the words on the token, heaved a long sigh of relief, and quickly saluted Zhang Xiu: "Master, what should the villain do now?"

Zhang Xiudao: "Bring this woman into the guest room, I will send someone to take her home later, and leave the rest to me."

The shopkeeper had a backbone, no longer afraid, took the woman to the guest room, and then went to the counter with a normal expression to make calculations.

After a while, the middle-aged man who left earlier came back with five sheep and tied them to the yard.

Just as he was about to enter the house, he suddenly noticed that the donkey was missing. His expression changed and he shouted, "Shopkeeper, why is my donkey missing?"

Zhang Xiu came out of the hall with a smile on her face and said, "I want your donkey."

The middle-aged man took a look at him, saw that he was wearing a gorgeous robe, and he looked like a young master from a wealthy family. He put on a smiling face and said, "Master, you have a good eye, that donkey is the best of the five. Whether it is transportation or work, he is a good hand. If you want it, young master, just give me five taels of silver!"

Zhang Xiu's complexion changed, and he said in a sinister tone, "Do you know how the last prefect of Hangzhou died?"

The middle-aged man was taken aback: "How did you die?"

Zhang Xiu sneered: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I don't know either."

Middle-aged man: "@#￥%￥#@..."

Then what a fart!

Looking at the middle-aged man with a messy face, Zhang Xiu continued: "I don't even pay for eating watermelons on the street, but if I want you for a donkey, how dare you ask me for money? San Dezi, Fa Yin, let him know , Who is in charge of this Qiantang County!"

Yang Jian and Jigong came out from behind the door, each carrying a wooden stick, and beat the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at the two wooden sticks that struck him, feeling unavoidable for no reason, stood there in a daze, and was beaten to the point of bleeding.

Feeling the pain, it was only then that he thought of fighting back, covering his bleeding head while chanting a spell.

Jigong smiled and said: "The spell is right, I will also do it as a monk, I will blow you up!"

With a loud bang, a thunderbolt blasted towards the middle-aged man's head.

The middle-aged man was hit by the cold in an instant, shivered, lay down on the ground numb and twitched his body.

Zhang Xiu's eyes glowed red, and he used the Fascination method to look through his memory, his expression gradually became solemn: "I found the minion of the demon, that man claims to be the king of merit, and the demon in front of him is his subordinate."
