Chapter 45

"Ten sticks, ten sticks, ten sticks until he was paralyzed!"

After leaving the Yamen, Rong Tianding's face was pale, and his expression was full of panic.

He originally wanted to imitate Puyun Guanmu Taoist's way of setting up an altar and use some wooden figurines to confuse them, but the county government actually wanted him to catch ghosts, and someone would check them for verification.

This made Rong Tianding feel unconfident, he only felt that those big wooden sticks in the Yamen would all fall on his ass.

He dared to deceive ordinary villagers, but he would not dare to deceive the county government even if Rong Tianding had ten courage.

He was not charged with any major crimes, but if he really wanted to make a fake ghost to trick the county government, Rong Tianding felt that the probability of being beaten was very high.

"Cousin, if you are really beaten, you can at least fulfill a wish," Zhang Xuezhou comforted.

"Is there something else going on?" Rong Tian Ding asked oddly.

"If it's like that, you probably won't have to go to Dongshi to butcher pigs for a year or so, and you can study hard at home with peace of mind!"

"Then I'd rather kill pigs every day than suffer this beating!"

Rong Tianding shook his head again and again, feeling that he could not accept the life after being beaten.

"Go, go, kill a few pigs and catch ghosts!"

Hearing that Rong Tianding was willing to kill pigs, Rong Li felt that nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people with a heart, Rong Tianding finally wanted to kill pigs at this time, she only felt that if the ghosts were found and killed earlier, everything would be peaceful and beautiful.

But how to kill ghosts, Rong Li also felt a little nervous.

Even she has never seen a ghost in her life.

"I'll get two barrels of pig's blood to send to Shilipo in a while, so that the head of the family can use it conveniently," Li Erlang said.

"Then you have to hurry up so that you don't have to travel at night when it's dark," Zhu Dan said.

"I'll set off after receiving two buckets of pig blood," Li Erlang said.

"Then we'll take care of the rest!"

Hearing Rong Li's order, everyone opened their mouths one after another, actively responding to various things that need to be done to maintain the operation of the pig slaughtering stall.

"Should we go find Taoist Mu first?" Zhang Xuezhou suggested.

He followed behind, feeling that their group of ghost catchers were unreliable no matter how they looked at it.

Judging from the fact that Rongli didn't even enter the house with a butcher's knife that night, Rongli doesn't have the ability to kill ghosts, at most she wants to make ghosts and evil spirits turn away.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't catch ghosts.

It is reported that Yinwu mostly likes to be out at night, and he doesn't like to be out at night the most, so he can't participate in such things.

Even Zhang Xuezhou doesn't have the ability to catch ghosts.

Professional work has to be done by professional people, Zhang Xuezhou thinks it would be more reliable to ask Mu Taoist for help.

Anyway, this veteran is also a cultivator, with some abilities that ordinary people don't have.

"The old man was almost choked to death by the fireworks last time, I'm afraid his legs won't be able to walk easily, so he won't be able to accompany us to catch ghosts," Rong Tianding said.

"He has done Buddhist rituals in Shilipo before, and he may know something about it. It's not wrong to ask him first," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Zhou'er is right!"

Rongli nodded.

She is reckless but not stupid.

Judging from the kindness of Taoist Mu who saved him before, this Taoist should not be in trouble.

Correspondingly, it may be beneficial for them to ask the wooden Taoist about it.

Urged by the yamen, the group had no choice but to rush back to Dongshi to kill the pigs, and hurried out of the city again.

"My lord, there is news from the northern border guard that Jin Chang, under King Huainan's command, is crossing the border and has taken some food along the way to satisfy his hunger!"

In the yamen, Master Bao put down his pen for reviewing official documents, and then looked at Master Li who received Falcon's message.

"So, the Shilipo incident is related to Jinchang?" Lord Bao asked.

"Exactly." Master Li nodded and replied, "The governor of the northern border said that he had received the indemnity from King Huainan, and it will be sent to the affected places in a few days. We need to report the matter quickly so that we can accept the disaster payment!"

"Sixteen pigs and three cows were lost in Shilipo overnight. Who is Jinchang arresting, and he needs to eat so much food at one time?" Mr. Bao wondered.

"I don't know the humble job!"

Master Li shook his head again and again.

The name of Jinchang taught by the nine members of the Yinyang family is not to say that it is famous all over the world, but it is indeed very famous, and it is one of the top warlocks under the Huainan King.

The opponent's strength is not inferior to those top officials of the imperial court.

Even a person like Mr. Bao who has entered the official position of the court can only be compared, let alone Master Li.

It is difficult for him to guess who this kind of person has arrested and what he has done.

Even Jinchang was acting on their territory, and Huainan Palace even sent compensation to them, which is quite polite.

If the Huainan Palace doesn't respond, or even make any follow-up notification, they will be fine.

This is not for the sake of the county magistrate of Rongcheng, but for the face of General Li of the Northern Military Region, and the Huainan Palace gave it a face.

The Huainan Palace gave them face, and naturally hoped that others would give them face.

What did Jin Chang do in the northern border, or what was involved, as long as it did not endanger the northern military region, the Huainan Palace obviously hoped that the northern border would not be investigated, nor should they be investigated.

Master Bao's words are difficult to answer, and Master Li is also unable to answer.

He and Jinchang are like characters from two worlds. They can't guess the motive of each other's actions at all, and it's also difficult to guess what the other party has done, and what kind of people with big appetites have been arrested.

"In this way, the disappearance of livestock at Shilipo does not involve genital sucking and harming people," Master Bao said with a frown.

"It should be so." Master Li nodded and said: "It seems that we don't need to invite the magician who catches ghosts to investigate in Shilipo, which saves a lot of money!"

"Since there are no ghosts in Shilipo, why did Wang Fu'an die?"

Master Bao picked up the ink-stained pen.

When the facts do not match the speculation, a murder case clearly stands out.

"Order Li Shuang to go to Longmen Village, Shilipo with a knife to investigate, and report any clues in time," Mr. Bao said humanely.

"Here!"

Master Li agreed, and then stepped back quickly.

"hateful!"

Lord Bao stared at the bamboo slips for a few seconds.

After a while, he wrote the word "Jinchang" under an official document, then drew a circle and made a cross.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, preparing all kinds of things to catch ghosts, Mr. Bao didn't expect it to be a false alarm.

This made him useless the things he had been worrying about for more than ten days.

Of course he doesn't like the appearance of femininity in the territory he governs.

But he doesn't like this useless busyness even more.

"hateful!"

Mr. Bao repeatedly said "hateful".

In his heart, he couldn't tell for a while whether this abomination was aimed at Jinchang, or the master of Jinchang, King Huainan.

In the eyes of these big shots, they don't have a place for small officials like them, and they don't care whether they will be affected.

But in the end it's them who clean up the mess.

Whether there are ghosts in Shilipo is not because the people believe what the government says.

This is not something he can do in a few words.

The rumors about the haunting spread widely, and people panicked after Wang Fuan's death. This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Master Bao's eyes shifted, and when he pointed the relevant people who solved the problem to the Mu Taoist who had dealt with the ghost and snake incident in the past, he suddenly remembered that this Taoist was caught in a fire a few days ago and was almost burned to death.

This forced him to start thinking about Rong Tianding and others who sold fake paintings to cheat in Rongcheng.
