Chapter 124 A Nest of Snakes and Rats, Humans Are Not Humans, Demons Are Not Demons (Three in One)

It was already evening at this time, approaching late autumn, the sky darkened very quickly, and within a quarter of an hour, the setting sun disappeared below the horizon, leaving only the red clouds reflecting the afterglow.

There is no curfew in Yangguo, and Zangfengzhou is even more famous as a city that never sleeps. The bustling night market is known as "Suspecting Yinhan and Starfall", and has attracted countless poets to write poems for it.

At this moment, when the night fell, the lights gradually came on, illuminating the entire Zangfeng Prefecture like daytime.

The real excitement has just begun.

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi..."

Panting heavily, Akan flitted across the shadows between the houses at a speed too fast to be discerned by the naked eye.

He was dressed in black, and he looked immature and handsome. He looked like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with a hint of bookishness, like a student who sneaked out of some private school.

It was just a large number of hideous knife wounds on his arms and back, and the blood that flowed out had already soaked through his clothes, revealing his unusualness.

His eyes were alert and his expression was tense. After running for a while, he got into a small alley and disappeared into the darkness in an instant.

This small alley is a dead end, and there are many sundries piled up at the end, most of which are some bamboo baskets, wooden barrels and broken furniture discarded by the nearby families.

But if you look carefully, you will find that he didn't disappear, but turned into a white-haired mouse and got into the debris piled up in the alley.

From the small hole at the bottom of the alley, he got into a residential house on the opposite side.

It was pitch black in the dwelling, and no one seemed to be at home, but after A-Kan got in, someone immediately raised an alert voice: "A-Kan? Did you succeed?"

Akan changed back to human form, nodded, shook his head again, and said awkwardly:
"I was almost caught. I was afraid of revealing my whereabouts, so I separated the official silver box and hid it in a residential house passing by on the road..."

When the man waved his hand, a dark flame ignited in his palm, illuminating a small circle around him and her face.

The man was wearing a purple dress, with red phoenix eyes, the corners of his eyes were raised, and his eyebrows were flying into his temples, which seemed to be quite domineering.

What is more strange is that there is a purple scale between her eyebrows, and her eyes are blood red vertical pupils.

Akan is a white-haired mouse spirit, and the woman in the purple skirt is named Wu Man, and she is a snake demon!
Hearing this, Wu Man saw that his hands were empty, and her face immediately sank:

"How did I tell you?! If you fail, don't come back for the time being, at least one night outside, and come back after the wind has passed!"

"With your 'secret secret', it's easy to hide outside for a night, right?"

"And if you get the official silver, you have to bring it back here no matter what!"

"Do you think you won't be tracked down if you hide the official money in a roadside dwelling? Those court hawks and dogs with sharper noses than dogs will be able to follow the clues to find this place immediately if they find a little clue!"

"I made my own claim, lost my official money, and exposed my position. What use do I want you for!"

But I was injured, and the effect of my supernatural power was greatly reduced. If I hide outside, I will definitely be caught... Akan regretted in his heart, and only dared to explain for himself in his heart, but his natural fear prevented him from opening his mouth when facing Wu Man.

What's more, he was chased and killed by Shennongsi not long after he first transformed, Wu Man rescued him and took him in. He volunteered to do things for the other party, but now he failed again, of course it was all his fault.

There was nothing wrong with Wu Man's scolding...it was him who broke the other party's business.

Akan was scolded so badly that he could only shrink his neck and said:
"My restriction hasn't been broken yet, so I should still be able to get the official money back... I can go back the same way! I will definitely not hurt you, big sister!"

Wu Man took a deep breath and said coldly, "Tell me the location of the official bank."

A Kan truthfully told Wu Man the location of Guan Yin.

He stole a total of ten boxes of official silver, and hid them in different mortal residences along the way, and set up restrictions. At the same time, he deliberately left some misleading clues in several places.

Under normal circumstances, it should be able to last for about three hours.

Even if a few of them are discovered, the rest should be kept.

Wu Man asked: "Has all the restrictions been lifted yet?"

Akane nodded.

Wu Man's expression eased a little, and she said: "I will send someone to get it back... You did a good job, the eldest sister was a little anxious before."

Akan lowered his head and said guiltily: "I know, this batch of official bank is very important to us, and I made a mistake."

Because of Shennongsi's status in Yangguo, Yaozu's life is very difficult in Yangguo, especially in Zangfengzhou.

Dongzang XZ alone has exhausted most of the demon clan's energy, and even many monster clans died of starvation and illness after being maimed and injured.

However, there are still some Yaozu who are not satisfied with the status quo, and hope to change the situation of the same clan so that they can live in other places.

Under the supervision of Shennongsi, they are at risk even showing up. Naturally, they cannot earn money through normal means, so they can only rob them.

As long as this plan is successful, they will escape from Yang Kingdom and go to Ehuazhou on the sea. There is only a small country there, and people don't reject the Yaozu so much.

This is what Wu Man told him...

Wu Man patted him on the shoulder: "Don't blame yourself too much, go and have a good rest, thank you for your hard work."

Akan nodded, still worried: "If anyone else needs my help, Eldest Sister must come to me!"

Wu Man raised her lips, looked at him, and showed a gentle smile: "Of course, Akan's natural supernatural powers are so easy to use, so naturally he should use them more."

Akan didn't think it was wrong, he just felt happy in his heart. He has used his supernatural powers to help Wu Man steal many things.

There are miraculous spiritual treasures, and secret exercises... Now it is the ten boxes of official silver.

It is his wish to help his fellow clan who are in trouble like he used to be, so he is very happy to help Wu Man.

He also wanted to follow Wu Man to confirm the existence of Guanyin, but tonight he was seriously injured and had to recuperate.

Furthermore, the eldest sister is more reliable than him, so it's not his turn to worry.

Arkan turned around, and as soon as he relaxed, physical and mental exhaustion surged up and made him stagger.

He clutched his arms and walked towards the bed in the darkness.

But then, he suddenly jumped in his heart: "No, my restriction has been lifted?!"

Akan felt something: "It seems to be the place where I stayed in the room of the handyman in the Suni Pavilion..."

He was a little puzzled: "How could it be discovered there first? Although it is one of the places where I set up misleading clues, but the location is the most remote, it doesn't make sense that the police would find this place first?"

But the most urgent thing is to tell the eldest sister about this first!In order to avoid intelligence errors!

Akan took a deep breath and tried his best to turn around...

Wu Man was behind him and seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in the end she took two steps forward, a ruthless look flashed in her eyes, and she slapped Akan on the back directly to the heart.

"boom!!!"

The shattered light in Wu Man's blood-colored vertical pupils flickered, and the dark flame in his hand blazed instantly, and spiritual energy rushed in, trying to destroy his heart.

A Kan only had the innate realm, but Wu Man was already at the second level of climbing the building. Caught off guard, she received the palm firmly, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He turned around in a daze, only to see the ruthless cold light in Wu Man's blood-colored pupils, and then he fell down and passed out instantly.

Wu Man withdrew her palm and sighed:
"Akan, if you do what the eldest sister said, you still have a chance to survive, but unfortunately... why did you come back?"

"However, it's good to be back, just in time, there is still a scapegoat missing."

Wu Man knelt down, patted Akan's pale cheek, and said with a smile: "With you, Mr. Wang will be able to do business easily."

Afterwards, the fire in the room was extinguished, and Wu Man turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the night.

……

The excitement in Zangfengzhou tonight is different from the past, with a hint of chill.

People who had heard the news talked about it, and the officials in blue clothes hurried past the streets and alleys, checking every suspicious person and place, and some people panicked for a while.

However, this does not disturb the scene of people coming and going by the Rouge River.

Most of the people who can come and go here are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, without any family background or background. If you enter a random pavilion on the side of the road, you will lose your fortune when you come out.

Therefore, in their view, how the officials and the police act is irrelevant. In any case, it will not affect them. Even if it does, is there any problem that money cannot solve in Yangguo?
One of the team of officials walked into the Suni Pavilion under the gaze of some of them.

Yu Xiangsi hurriedly stepped forward to receive her, and said with a coquettish smile, "My lords, I don't know what you can do? Come here, please, if you need anything, I will try my best to cooperate."

The leading official is called Cen Jiang, who is actually a practitioner, and has the cultivation base of the fifth level of climbing a building.

The clothes on him were obviously different, with fine dark patterns embroidered on the corners and cuffs, and a palm-sized smooth stone on his waist.

The surface of this stone is like a mirror, but it cannot reflect any scene in front of it.

This stone, called Mingjing Stone, can only illuminate ghosts and demons, and can help the holder to catch demons.

Wearing this stone on his body means that he is a disciple of Shennongsi.

Cen Jiang was tall, dark-skinned, and full of beards, but he spoke politely, and said, "Mama, please take us to inspect all parts of the building, and we must not miss any place."

"The thieves who stole the official silver may have entered the Suni Pavilion. This is the personal order of Mr. Wang's arrest, which is very important."

However, there is a reason for his politeness.

Although this Suni Pavilion is a brothel, but Liu Qingcheng's reputation is extremely great, many big figures have been interested in her, and even the entire Suni Pavilion has risen with the tide.

However, this talented oiran is proud and arrogant. So far, the men who have met her face to face can be counted with one hand.

She also rejected them all.

It is said that Liu Qingcheng only loves poetry, and unless someone can write a poem that completely convinces her and completely surpasses her, she would rather not marry for the rest of her life, and redeem herself after saving enough money.

However, most people just think it's a joke.

It's not a joke that an oiran like her wants to redeem herself...

Leaving aside the astronomical sum of the ransom, even if she raised enough money, the forces behind the Suni Pavilion would not let her cash cow go.

You must know that the reason why Xuni Pavilion has allowed her to complete until now is because it is said that there are practitioners behind the platform.

Otherwise, with so many big shots, if they open their mouths casually, they will naturally ask for an oiran.

However, Liu Qingcheng has the arrogance of capital, but Yu Xiangsi does not.

Even though she was once a very popular oiran, but now she is just a bustard watching people order dishes.

Yu Xiangsi hurriedly said: "Come this way, I'll take all the adults to make sure you can see every corner clearly."

Cen Jiang nodded: "Thank you."

Yu Xiangsi said: "It's not hard, the messenger is also for the safety of ordinary people like us, we should cooperate and help."

"After you have finished your inspections, drink some tea and take a rest."

"What's more, if we don't check and check, we don't feel at ease, for fear of being harmed by villains."

"If you don't come, I still have to invite you."

After she said these words, the expressions on the faces of the officials softened a lot.

Since the official bank was stolen, they have rushed all the way non-stop, busy searching, naturally in a bad mood, and often received cold faces.

——The land price near the Yanzhi River is extremely high, and the people who live there are rich businessmen and local tyrants. Even if they are quick catchers, they are not easy to mess with.

But Yu Xiangsi's words really made people feel like spring breeze.

As expected of the bustard of Xuni Pavilion, she can talk.

Cen Jiang nodded: "Hurry up and lead the way."

Yu Xiangsi led them all the way there. There are three floors in the Suni Pavilion, which are divided into the front pavilion and the back pavilion. The space in front is naturally reserved for talented scholars and adults to play tea. The maid is always there.

Behind it is the Yanzhi River, the first floor is the residence of the maids, the second floor is where Liu Qingcheng occasionally comes down to watch, play the piano and practice singing, and the third floor is Liu Qingcheng's residence.

The first thing to check is naturally the residences of the handymen and maids, which is also the easiest place to hide criminals.

The officials walked along the corridor outside and checked all the way. The doors of all the rooms were opened one by one, and everyone came out. The officials were allowed to rummage through the boxes for inspection, and then they had to tidy up and put them back.

Lianmi's room is also in it.

But halfway through the investigation, Lian Mi was not happy, she stood in front of a box with red eyes, and said anxiously: "Don't touch it! These, these are my underwear, how can I let you men look at them casually!"

The officer was stopped and shoved by her, and immediately glared angrily, and pulled out the long knife at his waist: "How dare you stop me?!"

He shouted, "There's something wrong with this box! Brothers, come here!"

The box is actually only about a foot wide, which is completely different from the size of the official silver box.

Under normal circumstances, a glance will pass.

But everyone along the way was very polite, once Lian Mi stopped him, he was naturally upset, and wanted to teach this chick a lesson!
Lianmi was startled, she closed her eyes with a pale face, straightened her neck and said, "You guys are not allowed to touch it!"

In her opinion, this is related to her innocence, and it is absolutely impossible to let go.

Her wife kept telling her that she must absolutely keep her innocence and not sink deeper and deeper into this quagmire.

In the future, she will redeem Lianmi and go out together, and the two of them will go to open a steamed stuffed bun shop on the street together, support themselves, live a good life together, and stop living such a life of being involuntary...

If someone casually looked at her close-fitting clothes, she would be no different from those other maids.

The maids in the Xuni Pavilion... are also equivalent to prostitutes, as long as those masters are attracted to them, they must be accompanied by innocence.

A brothel is a brothel, and Lian Mi knows this very well.

In order to make her different from others, the lady has compromised a lot.

Originally, there were many times, Liu Qingcheng obviously could not show up, but in the end he still met with someone and played the piano.

Yu Xiangsi hurried over and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Excellency, calm down, this is our Lady Liu's personal maid..."

The official was not happy: "So what about a maid?! Then Liu Qingcheng is just a watch, she came today, and she has to speak in a low voice, let alone just a maid?"

"I think she is very suspicious! We must investigate to the end today! Otherwise, how will Mr. Wang explain?!"

He spoke so bluntly that Yu Xiangsi's face was not very pretty.

Cen Jiang took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, okay, why don't you ask Mama Yu to check it out. She and I are old acquaintances, and I can still trust her."

He smoothed things over, but the official was obviously under him, but he didn't even give him face.

Looking at him, he sneered and said, "Can you trust it? Can Mr. Wang trust it?"

Cen Jiang lowered his face helplessly and said: "Master Chang, this is not in the Wanlin Chamber of Commerce. Even if your father is here, you have to consider the background of the Xuni Pavilion. Can you really afford to offend?"

It turned out that this official was actually Chang Yao, the son of the Wanlin Chamber of Commerce Branch Manager.

Chang Yao was getting angry and said, "What about you, Cen Jiang, you are just an ordinary student of Shennong Division, can you afford to offend our Wanlin Chamber of Commerce?"

Cen Jiang was speechless, sighed, and silently backed down.

Even if he can stop Chang Yao now, he still has a wife and children... In other words, he really can't afford to offend him.

Chang Yao sneered twice, turned to look at Lian Mi, but was suddenly taken aback.

The girl had kept her head down before, but now she suddenly revealed her whole face, which was as clear and refined as a lotus flower in water, and also had a trace of natural charm. Apart from being immature, her complexion was not inferior to those so-called famous prostitutes.

Chang Yao's mind suddenly changed.

He whispered: "It's okay if you don't want to be investigated, as long as you are more obedient..."

He stretched out his hand, wanting to grab Lian Mi's hand.

But Lianmi dodged immediately.

Chang Yao's face darkened suddenly: "You...!"

Yu Xiangsi didn't know what this guy was thinking, just walked to the front of the room that was just assigned to Chen Kuang, and said in a hurry, "Ah! I remembered! This handyman just came today! Maybe has a problem!"

Hearing this, Cen Jiang frowned: "Today?"

Yu Xiangsi nodded: "That's right, Suni Pavilion has been recruiting handymen these days, and they have taken in a few new ones, but this one just arrived today."

She never mentioned that this person was recruited by Liu Qingcheng, and she was devoted to her own people.

Her interruption gave Cen Jiang a chance, and the latter immediately said: "Everyone, come here, check this room first!"

Lianmi took the opportunity to hug the small box, and hid behind Yu Xiangsi.

Chang Yao missed the opportunity and his face was ugly, but at this moment everyone else was called away, so he naturally couldn't take advantage of the situation.

Yu Xiangsi knocked on the door, but found that there was no response in the room, and asked in surprise, "Why is there no one?"

Cen Jiang felt more and more suspicious, and kicked the door open.

A group of people swarmed in and started rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Cen Jiang looked at the whole room, picked up the mirror stone in his hand, and began to cast spells.

This bright mirror stone can not only make monsters appear, but also detect various clues.

But soon, he discovered that the room was too clean!
Not only is there no suspicious place, it even seems like no one has lived there... normal dust, garbage, nothing dirty.

"Is there really someone who loves cleanliness so much?"

Cen Jiang felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything.

Others searched for a long time, but found nothing.

Cen Jiang looked at it for a long time, and only felt that the only space under the bed was suitable for hiding things...but there was still nothing underneath.

Helpless, Cen Jiang could only tell someone to call it a day.

Yu Xiangsi smiled apologetically, "Maybe he sneaked out to visit the night market... This guy is disobedient, I'll quit him another day."

Checked the first and second floors.

In the end, only the third floor... Liu Qingcheng's residence remained.

A few people stood at the top of the stairs, Cen Jiang said: "Is it convenient for us to go up?"

Yu Xiangsi hesitated: "This..."

Chang Yao curled his lips: "Of course it's inconvenient. Who doesn't know that the Jingnan King has long regarded her as a taboo, and no one else is allowed to look at her."

Yu Xiangsi nodded with a sneer: "At this point, she may have rested..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a burst of piano sound from above.

There seemed to be a little panicked knocking sound.

Cen Jiang frowned: "What's the sound?"

Liu Qingcheng's voice came immediately, as if he had just woken up in a daze: "Mom, what's wrong? What's the matter?"

Yu Xiangsi said: "It's nothing, but you, did you fall?"

Liu Qingcheng said: "I couldn't sleep, I wanted to practice the piano... But the piano wasn't set up properly, but it didn't fall."

Yu Xiangsi said: "That's good, you have a good rest."

A trip for nothing...

Chang Yao secretly said bad luck, squinted his eyes and recalled the half-covered figure of the little maid, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, his heart was burning, and he thought to forget about today, and he must take down this maid in the future.

He can't touch Liu Qingcheng, so why can't he touch this little maid?

Yu Xiangsi breathed a sigh of relief as she sent the poor men away.

Upstairs, there was another faint sound of the piano, which made the pedestrians around stop and look sideways, fascinated.

Yu Xiangsi muttered suspiciously: "This girl, is it possible that she has been practicing hard these days? When did the piano skills get so good?"

Liu Qingcheng is not good at playing the piano, but the sound of the piano is too good now.

After Yu Xiangsi listened carefully, she felt that she could be compared with the chief musician in the pavilion, and her heart was shocked.

……

After Chen Kuang played a piece, he lightly held down the strings and said with a smile, "How is it?"

Liu Qingcheng glanced at him, and said angrily: "I didn't save you to send you to death again! No matter how good you play, I don't want you to play it for those officials at this time!"

Chen Kuang leisurely plucked the string again.

In fact, if he hadn't used the "Heavenly Demon Law" to calm down the anxiety of the officials downstairs, they would probably still come up.

But he didn't open his mouth to refute.

Before that, just after he transformed into the eternal fire and burned all the clues in the room, Liu Huakui suddenly came over and asked him to hide with her...

Liu Qingcheng said again: "Are you a demon?"

Chen Kuang said: "That's why you saved me? Everyone in the world is afraid of monsters, why are you so curious?"

Liu Qingcheng pursed her lips and said, "You just say it, don't you?"

Chen Kuang didn't answer, but his eyes gradually turned a glassy color, a slit opened on each of his cheeks, and large scales of the same color appeared on his arms.

This is the first time he has shown the monster form of this body.
