Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 50
However, Chu Hang was a little bit jumpy, so for insurance, Yi Shuyuan nodded and added.

"As long as Brother Chu didn't commit any crimes, Yi won't let Mr. Wu know about it."

"Mr. Yi is too worried, how could I do that kind of thing!"

Chu Hang quickly denied it, so as not to misunderstand the people on the other side, and spoke again after a little deliberation.

"Mr. Yi, you are very human. Since you can see ghosts and gods, you must believe that there are many goblins and monsters in this world, right?"

Yi Shuyuan frowned slightly, not only believing it, but also personally touching it.

"Brother Chu, please continue."

Seeing that Yi Shuyuan did not refute, Chu Hang was determined, nodded and continued.

"Mr. Yi, I told my parents about this when I was a child. At the beginning, no one believed me. Although I invited some mages to do it later, those people are just people who are trying to gain fame and have no real skills. I have not I am willing to go home because of this.”

"Oh? Could it be that there are monsters in your house?"

Yi Shuyuan's interest came, while Chu Hang's expression was complicated.

"If you say it's a monster, it doesn't look like it. After all, monsters want to eat people. From childhood to adulthood, from ignorant to sensible, I haven't seen anyone in my family being eaten, or no one except me. weird."

"Doesn't all monsters eat people? It was raining in the mountains that day, and Mr. Chu forgot about the tea shed?"

Yi Shuyuan said this with a smile. Hearing this, Chu Hang was stunned and nodded. He thought to himself that he really met a monster that day, but it’s hard to say that it’s not because of Mr. Yi in front of him. Of course, he won’t either. Rebuttal Yi Shuyuan.

"Mr. is right! The situation in my family is a bit special. Since I was seven years old, I often have a nightmare at home. There is a monster that I can't see clearly, and often comes to me in my dreams."

Yi Shuyuan frowned slightly, but Chu Hang had obviously entered the state of memory, and there was a hint of horror in his words.

"The monster's shape is vague and difficult to be constant. Sometimes it looks like a beast, sometimes it looks like a human. From time to time, it will collapse into smoke and then gather again. Every time it appears, it will be accompanied by a mournful howl, and then it will say something that I can't understand at all. Very creepy"

"and then?"

Yi Shuyuan asked this question, waiting for Chu Hang's next words.

"There is no more. If there is an after, how can I sit here now? Oh, one of the mages who came to my house to practice things may have some skills. Although he also assured my father that nothing happened at home, but Seeing me, I was really scared, so I told me privately, if you are really scared, try to stay at home less.”

After hearing that, Yi Shuyuan understood. No wonder Chu Hang said that he was half from Yuanjiang County. It turned out that since he was 13 years old, he had lived in his uncle Wu Minggao's house most of the time, or lived in Yuezhou.

"Mr. Yi, in your opinion, what kind of monster is in my dream?"

Yi Shuyuan didn't know either, so he could only tell the truth and comfort Chu Hangdao.

"I've never seen it before, and it's hard to say what it is, but from what Brother Chu described, even if it's really a monster, it doesn't look like it's going to harm you. At least it doesn't have that ability, it's more like..."

Yi Shuyuan didn't know if it was a little strange to say that, but hearing Chu Hang's description gave him this feeling.

"It's more like begging for something."

"beg me?"

Chu Hang's eyes widened, and he was a little annoyed.

"I begged it to be almost the same, I begged it not to scare me, I begged it for several years, and it got worse!"

"Ok?"

Yi Shuyuan's heart moved, and he suddenly smiled.

"Brother Chu, when did you first ask it not to scare you? It couldn't be when you were seven years old, right?"

Chu Hang frowned and thought hard for a while.

"This, it's been too long, and that meeting was too small. I've forgotten the exact time, but it was probably that meeting. Hey? If you want to say it like this, it's true that there weren't too many nightmares before this."

Speaking of this, Chu Hang paused, and looked at Yi Shuyuan suddenly.

"Mr. Yi, do you mean that just because I begged it, it knew that I could dream and hear it, so it kept coming to scare me in my dreams?"

Is it because I have been begging you all this time?

Yi Shuyuan didn't say anything, but nodded.

"It's possible, but I can't confirm it yet. One day, when I have a chance, Yi will go to your home with you to find out the truth."

Chu Hang was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"That would be great! Sir, when shall we start?"

"I can't go now. Don't say that the case in front of me is not over yet. Even if the case is over, Yi must at least compile the county chronicle."

Thinking of his uncle Wu Minggao's angry appearance, Chu Hang immediately calmed down.

"Yes yes yes, don't be in a hurry! Come, drink!"

Chu Hang stood up and poured wine for Yi Shuyuan, but Yi Shuyuan looked towards the distance of the street.

Not long after, there was the sound of horseshoes and footsteps coming from far and near. A large number of people came from the south of the city. Some were riding horses, some were leading horses, and there were soldiers clearing the way.

Chu Hang also followed Yi Shuyuan's line of sight, and soon saw this group of people approaching.

"People from the court?"

"Brother Chu, you can continue eating here by yourself, Yimou has to go back to the county government quickly."

Yi Shuyuan stood up. In this battle, the county magistrate must order people to beat drums to gather all the staff. It would be bad if he was not there.

"Hey, I have to go and see too!"

Chu Hang stood up following Yi Shuyuan, and the two hurried downstairs, and after paying the bill at the counter, they walked towards the county government office together.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the Yamen's drum sounded.

"Boom, boom, boom."

With the sound of drums, most of the people in the county government ran towards the court, and even some people outside the county government came to watch.

When Yi Shuyuan and Chu Hang walked to the yamen court together, many people from the county yamen had already arrived. Although Chu Hang was not from the county yamen, everyone around him knew who he was, and no one would expose him.

Most of the officials stood outside the hall, only a few officials and the speakers of each class were on the other side of the court, a military officer with a knife on his waist and a civil official with a sword hanging from his waist stood in front of the case.

Seeing that everyone was almost there, the civil servant unfolded the silk scroll in his hand.

"I am honored by the order of the emperor: The case of the Jia family in Yuanjiang County is of great importance and involves far-reaching implications. Starting today, the third division will send an inspector to take over the case. The Yuanjiang County Yamen will judge the case impartially and handle it properly. After the case is closed, a reward will be issued. Hereby—— "

The four officials of Yuanjiang County headed by Lin Xiu and a group of officials did not even have to kneel down, they all bowed their hands and accepted orders.

"The minister waits for the decree to thank you!"

With the decree, Lin Xiu and others were greatly relieved, and their tense nerves were finally relieved. At least this means that the emperor has known, and they will not be fighting alone.

Yi Shuyuan curled his lips while standing outside the hall. It's really boring. He originally wanted to stand inside to feel the atmosphere up close, but he didn't expect that he was not qualified to go in at all.

The civil official was also very polite after reading the imperial decree, and said with a smile.

"Master Lin, take me to see where Jia Yuntong and the other suspects are?"

"Yes, my lords, please follow me!"

A group of people walked out of the courtroom and soon came to the dungeon. Some of Jia Yuntong's former servants were locked in the outer periphery, and a few quacks were locked in the felony area inside, and Jia Yuntong who was like a frightened bird in the innermost room.

Earlier in Wuzhou City, court officials also arrived, and many armored men entered the city.

However, these men in armor did not go to the Wuzhou government office first, but divided into several groups, and under the leadership of several military officers, they rushed to the helm of the Sky Whale Gang at the first time.

A group of menacing soldiers rushed forward, and some even rode on horseback. Pedestrians on the street ran away in panic.

"Get out of the way, the imperial court is arresting the criminals—"

"Stay out of the way--"

"Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap."

The soldiers approached with the sound of footsteps, and pointed at a three-story pavilion with a large area of ​​​​a large area.

"What's going on, this is the chief rudder of the Sky Whale Gang, gentlemen, is there some misunderstanding?"

The leading military officer was on horseback behind a group of soldiers, and looked coldly at the quack-looking quacks who came out in front of them.

"Hmph, misunderstanding? Under the order of the imperial court, the Sky Whale Gang coerced and instigated officials to get involved in the salt trade, and even used witchcraft to persecute the officials ordered by the court. Everyone, shoot to kill—"

"Take orders—"

The soldiers roared in unison and moved forward with their weapons in hand.

This kind of treatment is obviously because the people in the rivers and lakes are becoming more and more presumptuous now. The imperial court used the Sky Whale Gang to kill chickens and monkeys, and even poured a lot of dirty water on the Sky Whale Gang.

Countless armored soldiers rushed into the building, screaming and killing for a while. Even warriors, if their skills have not reached a certain level, they are no match for armored men who are familiar with the battle formation. massacred.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

Some soldiers were sent flying upstairs, and some people jumped out of the roof trying to escape, but the tens of hundreds of crossbows that had been waiting around were fired one after another.

"Ding Ding Ding"

"Puff puff".
"Uh-" "Ah"

Even though he was armed with lightness kung fu and was able to block with weapons, he was shot into a hedgehog amidst screams after only a few "ding ding".

The military officer leading the army didn't even need to do anything himself, the soldiers and a few adjutants under him had already wiped out the rudder opening here, but he squinted his eyes and looked inside the building, feeling that the so-called general rudder seemed to have too few masters , as far as I know, this is not considered a low school.

The Sky Whale Gang was facing catastrophe everywhere, and Wuzhou Tongjuan Mansion also had civil and military officials and soldiers coming, and a group of soldiers rushed into the mansion, making people jump and scream.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone ran to the front yard of Tongju Mansion and spoke to the officials waiting here.

"My lord, everyone in this house said that Teng Jingcai disappeared a few days ago, and there were some valuables that disappeared with him."

"Ran?"

The two civil and military officials here looked at each other with wide eyes, how could they explain this to the emperor?After being stupefied, there is anger.

"First take all of Teng Jingcai's relatives into custody, and send four groups of people to search along the four city gates, and order people from all counties in Wuzhou to assist in the search. From now on, Wuzhou will strictly investigate the road guides and issue a notice to arrest Teng Jingcai!"

"As ordered!"

Although the governor of Wuzhou who was accompanying him had a higher official rank than the inspector, Dan felt a little trembling at the moment and dared not say a word.
