Chapter 56
This year's winter in Pingyang came faster than in previous years. When a snowstorm hit, Pingyang was covered in midwinter.

There was a heavy snow that afternoon, the sky was dark, and the mountains were blocked by wind and snow. The hunters in the depths of the Shaocheng Mountains had already gotten used to it. They rubbed their hands and brought their weapons, and went up the mountain to hunt as usual. Winter is a good season for hunting.

Today, the harvest was not good. It was almost evening, and there were not many stocks. He was about to retreat home, but he saw an unusually prominent red mixed with the snow-white.He approached quietly with the steps of a hunter. Based on his experience, he guessed that it should be a red fox. When he got closer, he found that it was indeed a reddish-brown fox, lying in the snow, injured, with blood on his body. Dying.

Although not as precious as the white fox, the fur of the red fox can also be sold at a good price. The cold day is not in vain!
He was joyful in his heart, and was reaching out to catch the fox, but the fox suddenly woke up, staring fiercely at his face, he blocked it with his hand, and beat the fox to the ground with the special spike in his hand. Hey, the fox still didn't give up, and instantly turned into a human and rushed towards him, before the fox's ears and tail could be put away.

It turned out to be a demon fox.

Although he was panicked, he had followed the trend and worked as a demon catcher for a few days before, and used his lame skills before to knock down the demon fox to the ground again.

Fortunately, the fox demon was injured, he thought to himself, otherwise he would have never caught a demon in the past based on the idea he learned, otherwise he would have followed that Duan Tuan to catch the demon and be promoted, where would he come? What does Orion do.

Just at this dazed effort, the demon fox grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at him, he stepped back, and the fox demon turned into its original form and ran away.

He is a person who doesn't know how to give up by nature, otherwise he would be a hunter.

He saw that it was not completely night yet, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue and followed the fox into the depths of the snow mountain, only to see a house that he had never seen before gradually appeared in the deep mountain.

The house is located under the snow pit, and the snow has already covered half a foot at the moment. The red warm lamp is on, and it may be a campfire. It looks very warm in the winter. Before the fox entered the house, he looked back at him, and he was scared After a jump, he still couldn't help peeking at the scene through the skylight. Just this one glance frightened him, and he ran for his life.

He ran on the road, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he felt that he could not stay in his house anymore, so he ran straight down the mountain, went to Pingyang Mansion, and knocked on the door of Pingyang Mansion.

In the early morning of the next day, rumors spread. Last night, a hunter outside Pingyang Mansion reported that there was a demon house in the depths of Shaocheng Mountain, where dozens of demon slaves were raised.

Chen Yuanyuan, governor of Pingyang Prefecture, led his troops up the mountain to search overnight, and the commander of the security department, Yun, followed closely after hearing the news. Dali Temple also sent elite soldiers who could catch demons to help, and was about to wipe out the demon houses in the mountain and capture all the demon slaves.Unexpectedly, when their teams arrived, there was only one ordinary two-storey house left in the mountains, standing impressively in the snow.

According to the judgment of Dali Temple, there is indeed a strong atmosphere of the demon clan.

The people of Pingyang were in an uproar.Raising demon slaves was popular more than 20 years ago. Princes and nobles also raised dead servants, and there were also demon slaves. Yao slaves are more intelligent and capable of things that humans can't do. They often do some shady things for them, but there are also benefits. Disadvantages, the demon slaves are wild and difficult to tame, especially those with a strong animal nature, which are easy to hurt people, especially some things that have happened to raise tigers and hurt their masters.Princes and aristocrats cherish their lives the most, and gradually this matter is rare.

After the Honglu incident, the imperial court took advantage of the situation to clean up the demon slaves, arrested several officials who raised demon slaves, and issued an injunction prohibiting anyone from raising demon slaves. No one ever mentioned it again.

But at this time, the monster clan reappeared after 12 years, and killed several royal relatives one after another. The conflict between humans and monsters is likely to make a comeback. Someone found a house in the deep mountains that was specially used to raise monster slaves. People associate the relationship between the two.The common people speculated one after another, and they didn't know what kind of thoughts the man who raised the demon slave had, whether it was the owner of this demon house who sent the demon slave to kill these royal relatives, or everything behind it Master, is he a human or a demon?

The royal family and nobles are also in danger. On the one hand, the crimes committed by the demon in the past year have killed all the royal family members, which is unavoidably scary. In order to deal with himself, what is even more troublesome is that the people will inevitably point all their suspicions at them. After all, who in an ordinary family has the ability to build a house and raise a house full of demon slaves?There is no need for this...

Everyone in the court was in danger, and rumors spread everywhere, and Pingyang fell into a sudden chaos.

In order to calm the hearts of the people, Emperor Zhao ordered that all the remnants of the demon clan in Pingyang City be wiped out, especially those who had demon slaves in their families, to be dug out.Dali Temple, as a former monster catcher, under the leadership of Duan Yuzhi, started the long journey of catching monsters again. Duan Yuzhi was very busy. In two months, he ate and lived in Dali Temple, and even more. It's the anecdote that has passed through the house three times but never entered.

Duan Yuzhi was having a headache. Every day, countless private newspapers were delivered to Dali Temple, but when he went out to check, they all misunderstood and misheard, and the field was empty.And the officials of the imperial court actually extended the official battle to this point, pulling themselves and Duan Zi every day to say that they wanted to provide information, and those who reported were all the most important officials of the royal family, and they would not give in even an inch. After receiving the Holy Majesty's will, they have already made full preparations, even the stables and latrines have been cleaned up, and what's more, someone even sued the dead Third Prince... It's ridiculous, okay A farce.

But he can't check the monsters he knows. For example, the favorite concubine of the second prince is indeed a cat monster, and there is also Chiyu who often comes and goes in and out of Shengyang, but can he catch it?Of course he couldn't, he was afraid that if these two cat demon heroes were caught, Sheng Yang would never talk to him again for the rest of his life.Although Sheng Yang hadn't paid attention to him for nearly half a year after coming back from Luzhou, thinking of this, Mr. Duan, who was so busy, felt even more tired.

After two months of busy work, he didn't see a single demon. He even wondered if the people behind were hiding in the dark just to see the chaos in Pingyang.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is almost here, it's not a good time to go home this year... Then Qiao Shi actually dared to write that letter. When he went back, he gave him a warning. Seeing that she was so frightened that she fell to the ground, he was extremely helpless. It was said that he had done it three times. He refused to enter the house, but he did not enter on purpose. This year, why not go to Duan Zi's house...

He looked at Duan Zi silently, and Duan Zi trembled in fright, thinking that the lord was going to trouble him again.
