Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 126 Vixen

"Catcher Zhang, my master is here to invite you."

Not long after, the housekeeper of the Zhang family came out and said.

"Go in."

Zhang Qi's expression is calm, but his five senses have already been alerted to the extreme. He has been in the yamen for decades, and he knows very well that they are the bait of that Jinyiwei Qianhu. If the Zhang family has a master of the White Lotus Sect, then they You can only ask for luck.

Seeing that Zhang Qi was going to bring dozens of yamen servants in, the housekeeper wanted to stop him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. The Zhang family is a well-known big family in the county, and Zhang Qi would definitely not dare to do anything wrong when he brought people in.

After walking into Zhang's house, Zhang Qi kept his eyes fixed on the surface, but in fact, from the corner of his eyes, he kept looking at every servant he met, but the more he looked, the more Zhang Qi felt weird. He doesn't have any boxing skills at all, and his gestures are also a kind of humble attitude of serving people all the year round. He doesn't look like a master of the White Lotus Sect at all.

After walking through two doors, there is the lobby. At this time, Zhang Yinggeng was already waiting in the lobby. When he saw Zhang Qi coming in, Zhang Yinggeng smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Rare guest, rare guest, I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, so that Zhang Qi is blown away. Is the head catcher coming?"

Looking around, he found that there was no one else in the lobby except Zhang Yinggeng. Zhang Qi put his hand on the handle of the knife, and said with a serious expression: "Zhang Yinggeng, Ming people don't talk dark words. Could it be that the purpose of this headhunter is coming, can you not?" is that clear?"

"Call out those White Lotus Sect members!"

Hearing Zhang Qi's words, Zhang Yinggeng froze in place, and after a long time smiled wryly and said, "Catcher Zhang, is there any misunderstanding in this? My Zhang family's heirs of poems and books have been reading sage books for generations, how can I be with you?" The White Lotus Sect has connections with those rebellious officials and thieves."

"Misunderstand?"

Zhang Qi sneered and said, "Did Tie Sisan and the others at the gate of the city be arranged by you?"

Iron Four Three?
Zhang Yinggeng's complexion changed drastically. This is the person Zhang Chongxiu, the patriarch of the Zhang family, asked him to arrange in a dream. According to what Zhang Chongxiu said, these people are all very lucky. Now the other party is swimming in the shallow water, and it is the time for their Zhang family to help. Maybe someone from the White Lotus Sect?

After reacting, Zhang Yinggeng hurriedly said: "Captain Zhang, although they were arranged by my Zhang family, I really didn't know they were members of the White Lotus Sect."

"I don't care about this head catcher, let's go back to the Yamen with this head catcher, and lock it up!"

The long knife in Zhang Qi's hand was slightly out of its sheath, but he was praying to Su Hao to take action quickly, otherwise they would all have to stay here. A mere third-rate warrior really couldn't handle such a big matter.

Hearing Zhang Qi's words, a government servant walked towards Zhang Yinggeng with a pair of handcuffs and shackles. At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely dignified. Sweat dripped from Zhang Qi's forehead, and his hand holding the knife tightened a bit.

Seeing the yamen servants approaching, Zhang Yinggeng clenched his hands into fists, finally let go, and sighed: "Captain Zhang, I'll go with you, our Zhang family really didn't collude with the White Lotus Sect, I hope the county yamen can give me Zhang back." The family is clean."

It's not that he doesn't want to resist, but he really doesn't have the strength to resist. Although the Zhang family also has a nursing home for third-rate warriors, he is just earning some hard money. If you want him to fight against the government for the Zhang family, just think about it , maybe he will turn his back on the Zhang family in order to clear up the suspicion.

More importantly, Zhang Chongxiu, the patriarch of the Zhang family, is still there. When Zhang Chongxiu finds out that something happened to the Zhang family, he will definitely rescue him. Now the resistance will only completely crucify the Zhang family for colluding with the White Lotus Sect.

Seeing that Zhang Yinggeng really stretched out his hand and let the servants lock him up, Zhang Qi was also stunned. Could it be a misunderstanding that the Zhang family did not collude with the White Lotus Sect?

But in a daze, Zhang Qi waved without hesitation, "Go and take down the rest of the Zhang family."

...

Not far from Zhang's house, Zhou Xu couldn't help being taken aback when he watched Zhang Qi escort Zhang Yinggeng's family out of Zhang's house with many yamen servants.

"Su Qianhu, didn't this family collude with members of the White Lotus Sect?"

Zhou Xu said with a blank face: "How could it be so easy to catch him without a fight? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Colluding with the White Lotus Sect is a capital crime, especially after Xu Hongru raised the flag of rebellion, the court feared it even more, and it was almost better to kill the wrong than to let it go.

"Those people were arrested by Zhouzhi County, and they were also interrogated by Zhouzhi County. Whether there is a misunderstanding among them, Zhouzhi County knows better than this official."

Su Hao's expression was calm. After he finished speaking, Su Hao followed Zhang Qi and the others straight away.

In fact, he was also very surprised that Zhang Chongxiu didn't leave a follower in the family, but it doesn't matter whether he left a follower or not. When he found the people of the White Lotus Sect at the gate of the city, the Zhang family was already doomed. Put up with this kind of thing.

Choked by Su Hao, Zhou Xu also lowered his head in embarrassment. This matter was handled by him alone. If there is any problem, it is also his problem.

It wasn't until Zhang Qi and others took Zhang's family members into the prison of the county government that Su Hao turned around and left. But when he left, a small brown paper man in Su Hao's hand flew into Zhang Yinggeng's cell silently.

...

Ten days later, Su Hao left Zichuan in a carriage. He also left with a banknote of 3 taels of silver. Although banknotes are only circulated among a few big businessmen and big families, with his current In terms of status, there are not many people in Shandong who dare to extort money from him.

As for where the 3 taels of silver came from, it can only be said that the wall was overthrown by everyone. After Zhang Yinggeng's family was imprisoned, everything in the entire Zhang family was divided and eroded by the big and small families in Zichuan County. The Zhang family had five thousand taels in Zichuan. There are more than mu of fertile land, and the Zhang family was brought down by him, so the biggest share is naturally his.

In addition, Zhang Yinggeng also died. Colluding with the White Lotus Sect is a capital crime. Anyway, he will die sooner or later. It is better to die in his hands than to die on the execution ground. Points reached 196 points.

.........

After bumping all the way for two days, Su Hao came to Yuanshan following the guidance of the paper figurine tracking technique.

At the foot of the original mountain, in a residential house, Su Hao met Zhao Xiaoer and his wife who he sent to look for Lu Zeju. With Zhao Xiaoer as a good helper, he would not be so stupid as to do everything by himself.

"Master, my apprentice has found Lu Zeju, and now he is hiding in the original mountain."

Zhao Xiaoer spread out a rough map and pointed to a deep canyon: "Tu'er followed Lu Zeju's breath and found this place, but Tu'er found out that this is the lair of a group of fox demons. , Disciple didn’t break in without authorization.”

Fox demon?

Hearing Zhao Xiaoer's words, Su Hao raised his brows slightly. The reputation of this fox demon among the people is like thunder. Almost everyone has heard of demon foxes, vixen, and fox fairies.

"Do you know the origin of this nest of fox demons?"

After pondering for a while, Su Hao continued to ask, although most of the fox monsters have limited strength and can only do some illusions and tricks, but foxes are naturally cunning and smart, and it is far easier to open up their intelligence than other animals. They are the biggest monsters in the monster clan There are fox demons everywhere.

The practice of the fox demon clan seems to have a deep relationship with the human race, so a large part of the fox demons have entered the human world, but most of the fox demons are basically with humans in order not to form too deep karma with humans. Those who don't disturb each other simply live in the human world, and in order not to arouse the fear of the court, most of the fox demons that enter the human world will be registered with the government.

"I found it in Laiwu County. These fox demons came to the original mountain to settle down 100 years ago. In the past 100 years, these fox demons basically did not harm the people in the mountain."

Zhao Xiaoer nodded and said: "And these fox demons will help the people in the mountain from time to time, that canyon is also called Huxian Gorge by the people here."

"Is that so?"

Hearing Zhao Xiaoer's words, Su Hao fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "Let's visit these fox demons tomorrow."

If it's that kind of evil fox, he doesn't mind killing it directly, but since the other party is not, then he doesn't mind treating him with courtesy.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoer and his wife nodded. They also have no objection to Su Hao's decision. These fox demons did not do anything outrageous, and it is best to communicate peacefully.

...

The next day, Su Hao and Zhao Xiaoer went into the mountain. The rugged mountain road didn't bother the three of them. Su Hao was the most relaxed. Now that he has more than 30 years of internal strength and lightness kung fu, the mere mountain road is naturally gone. After that, Zhao Xiaoer put a horse-armored talisman on his leg, which can make people walk like flying, and travel thousands of miles a day, and walking on mountain roads is naturally not a problem.

On the contrary, Ding Zimo is the most difficult. Although Ding Zimo has also learned the Beiming magic skill, he does not absorb much internal energy, and he is not particularly skilled in the use of internal energy. It is difficult to move forward quickly on the mountain road, but Su Neither Hao nor Zhao Xiaoer intended to help. Since Ding Zimo had chosen martial arts, he should learn to shoulder his own responsibilities.

Along the way, they climbed mountains and ridges, and after approaching for two hours, the three stopped outside a canyon. At this time, Su Hao and Zhao Xiaoer looked relaxed and natural, while Ding Zimo was out of breath. In the late autumn season, the forehead is still sweating like raindrops.

"Take a break."

After glancing at Ding Zimo, Su Hao said, and then walked to the bluestone beside him to adjust his breath.

After a while, Su Hao who had adjusted his breath stood up, and a paper armor appeared in his hand. The next moment, the paper armor instantly disintegrated into dozens of pieces, tightly attached to Su Hao's body, and then slowly melted. to be invisible.

Raising his hand to look at the invisible paper armor, Su Hao nodded in satisfaction. This is the paper armor he re-refined by combining the method of making the paper figurine invisible in the paper figurine tracking technique. The advantage of this pair of paper armor is that Deceptive, not as eye-catching as the previous paper armor.

"Master, is this the paper armor technique?"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaoer said curiously, although this spell also exists in the inheritance of the White Lotus Sect, but it does not have such a strange effect at all.

"Ah."

Su Hao nodded and said, "I still have a pair of paper armor here, do you need to use it for protection?"

"No, this disciple has the means to protect himself."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Zhao Xiaoer shook his head lightly, then chanted a mantra, and finally counted with his fingers, his body seemed to have a layer of fluorescence.

Amulet!
Big dog!
Seeing the shimmering light on Zhao Xiaoer's body, Su Hao couldn't help curling his lips, but his heart was sore. Although the protective spell is far inferior to his paper armor in terms of defense, the protective spell is more flexible than the paper armor. It is much stronger, and it can also defend against spells, and it does not have the defect of being afraid of fire.

No matter how light the paper armor is, it still has weight. The paper armor on his body weighs more than 60 kilograms, and it is all refined with the essence of the bark of the demon tree. Heavy armor, and this paper armor also seriously affected his lightness skill.

After a while, Ding Zimo also finished adjusting his breath, and the three of them walked towards the canyon. As soon as they approached the canyon, a layer of brilliant colored light enveloped the entire entrance of the canyon.

Seeing this layer of colored light, Su Hao knew that this was the magic formation used by those fox demons to prevent ordinary people from entering the canyon. However, this level of magic formation is not bad for ordinary people. For him and Zhao Xiaoer, It doesn't make any sense at all.

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of the two at the same time. This is the most basic magic eye, which can see through the ghosts hitting the wall cast by some ordinary ghosts.

The three of them had just walked out of the phantom formation when a brisk voice sounded from the cliff beside the canyon.

"I don't know where the distinguished guest came to my Fox Immortal Gorge?"

The next moment, on the cliff, a red fox with shiny fur and a light body jumped several times on the cliff, landed in front of the three of them, and then transformed into a pretty girl in red clothes in the brilliant light.

"My official Jin Yiwei Qianhu Su Hao, let someone who can make decisions in your clan appear."

After glancing at the woman, Su Hao said calmly.

Jinyiwei Thousands of Households!
Hearing Su Hao's words, the red-clothed girl's complexion changed drastically. Although she seldom went out of the canyon, she also knew who Jin Yiwei Qianhu was, so she hurriedly said: "Dear guest, please wait a moment, little girl, go and invite my old lady over here."

After finishing speaking, he turned into his original form and rushed towards the depths of the canyon.

Not long after, a colorful bridge stretched from the canyon to the front of Su Hao and the three of them, and then a benevolent old man walked out of the colorful bridge.

After the old man walked out of the colorful bridge, he hurriedly saluted and said, "The old man Hu Xian pays his respects to Su Qianhu. Qianhu is here to welcome you. I hope that the old man will forgive you for his sins."

"I don't need to say polite words, I ask you, why do you meddle in the affairs of the government? Take in the criminals wanted by the court?"

After taking a look at Hu Xian, Su Hao said coldly: "It's an extrajudicial favor from the imperial court to allow your fox clan to live in the human world. Is it true that the imperial court has nothing to do with you?"

"Qianhu, you are wronged!"

Hearing Su Hao's cold voice, Hu Xian's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "This old man has brought his family here for more than a hundred years, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, he is kind to the people in the mountains, and he will help the people in the mountains from time to time. , how dare to be an enemy of the imperial court?"

No wonder he is so humble, although he has 400 years of cultivation, compared with countless strong humans, he is just a weak one.
