The metaphysics princess fortune-telling spirit, the abstinent and cruel king is addicted to pets

Chapter 225: Chapter 225

"Quickly, quickly, cover the corpse." The county magistrate shouted, and the officer hurriedly covered the corpse with a white cloth.

Xie Beihan slowed down, with anger on his face: "Master Zhang, are you planning to ignore the two murders in two consecutive days?"

County magistrate Zhang was a little frightened, raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency Xie's words are serious, how can I ignore these two murder cases."

Xie Beihan scanned the crowd and saw that everyone was pale with fright, so he also said: "Then I give you five days to catch the murderer and solve the case!"

He also took the guards of the Hou Mansion out this time, and asked the guards to assist Magistrate Zhang, and he must not let the murderer kill the people again.

Even so, Magistrate Zhang still had a headache.

This murder case is bizarre, the murderer is so brutal, there is no clue at all, how can the case be solved within five days.

But Xie Beihan is a nobleman from Beijing, so he could only bite the bullet and agree.

However, at this moment, a voice sounded from the crowd: "My lord, it's useless to spend all your time thinking, this murderer is not an ordinary person."

County magistrate Zhang was startled, turned around and saw a young Taoist priest walking out of the crowd.

He has a handsome face, wears a gray Taoist robe, and carries a mahogany sword on his back.

Xie Beihan frowned, because he had seen many Taoist priests with evil intentions in the capital. At first glance, he couldn't respect the young Taoist priest, but felt that there was an evil spirit in the young Taoist priest's eyebrows.

Before County Magistrate Zhang could ask any questions, he said coldly, "This priest, what do you think is the murderer?"

"It's a monster. The poor man's name is He Wen, and he learned Taoism from his master since he was a child. The dead man is surrounded by a monster, and the poor man will definitely not mistake him." He Wen said seriously.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people changed one after another, whispering what to do.

In the past, it was said that there were monsters, but they didn't believe it.

But there was a goblin riot in Kyoto earlier, and the official lady was taken aback. This matter was widely spread, so they were naturally afraid at this time.

Xie Beihan's face darkened, but he didn't rush to refute.

Because he has read books, monsters really want to eat people's hearts, and maintain their own human skin.

At this moment, he only hated that he was not talented enough, that he couldn't see the evil spirit with his own eyes!

However, he had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly took out his purse, which contained not silver, but talisman seals.

When He Wen saw it, his eyes narrowed.

Xie Beihan finally found the needed talisman, walked to the corpse and lifted the white cloth.

He chanted the incantation, and the talisman burned in response to the sound, and when he got close to the corpse, there was a faint and strange green light.

His complexion changed in shock, and he couldn't help shouting: "It's a demon!"

This He Wen may be talking nonsense, but Sixth Sister's talisman seal is definitely not wrong!

County magistrate Zhang also knew a little bit about the affairs of the capital. He knew that the prince of Zhenbei often went to and from the Anyang Marquis Mansion, and had learned a little from the Ninth Princess. Hearing Xie Beihan's words, his face turned slightly pale, and his lips couldn't help trembling.

"Xie Shizi, is... really a demon?"

Xie Beihan knew he couldn't hide it, so he nodded.

County magistrate Zhang is speechless at the moment, there are monsters in Shouling County, and they are dedicated to taking care of them, what should we do?
The people were even more flustered, either begging Xie Beihan to think of a way, or begging He Wen for help.

He Wen said: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as there is an exorcism talisman at home, monsters will not enter the house."

Exorcist?
How can the people have it?

Someone hurriedly asked: "Does the Taoist priest have one? I'll buy as much money as I want!"

He Wen's expression was normal, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, and he said: "Pindao used to draw some spare paintings, but now they can be sold for five taels of silver each."

A tael of silver?
For dignitaries and dignitaries, five taels of silver is nothing at all.

But for the poor people, five liang of silver has been spent by their family for a long time.

The rich people quickly took out their silver to buy talismans.

He Wen gave the talisman with one hand and received the money with the other, it was a joy.

Xie Beihan watched coldly from the sidelines. He had used up all his message symbols and could not immediately notify Sixth Sister.

Even if you send someone back to Kyoto to send a message, it will take two days.

The monsters caused chaos in Shouling County, and three people died. For the sake of the many people, Xie Beihan said, "I don't know how much you will charge for congratulating Daochang to eliminate the monsters?"

In this situation, He Wen can only ask He Wen to stand in the way.

He Wen looked solemn, and shook his head slightly: "It's not about the money, but because this monster is cruel and comes and goes without a trace, so it's hard to get rid of it. That's why I sell the demon-repelling talisman, first let everyone have some protection, so that they don't get hurt. Let’s talk about the monster’s cruelty.”

This is said with awe-inspiring righteousness, but in fact it is to sell talismans.

Xie Beihan was angry in his heart, and said: "Since you said that this monster is cruel, can your talisman be able to stop it? Don't let the common people spend money to buy talismans, but in the end they are useless and a waste of money."

He Wen was not annoyed, and explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Xie, the poor Taoist is very confident in his talisman. The poor Taoist is in Shouling County. If it is useless, Mr. Xie can order someone to catch the poor Taoist."

He made such promises, and the terrified people hurriedly spent money to buy talismans, fearing that they would not be able to buy talismans, and their hearts would be taken by monsters.

Even county magistrate Zhang took out money to buy a talisman to keep him safe.

He Wen didn't have enough talismans drawn earlier, so he immediately put out tools and drew talismans on the spot.

Xie Beihan was very surprised to see that he drew talismans smoothly and without a single waste talisman.

It goes without saying that my talent is poor, but Zhimi Xiaodao has practiced Taoism for some years, and he can't even draw talismans so smoothly, and he only draws four or five for a cup of tea.

He had only seen this kind of ability in Sixth Sister.

Could it be that He Wen's skills are comparable to that of Sixth Sister.

If so, why did He Wen say he couldn't catch the monster?
Xie Beihan squinted his eyes, and immediately ordered the guards to hurry back to the capital and inform Nanli of the matter.

There are a lot of people in Shouling County, no matter how non-stop He Wen draws, there will always be people who fail to buy talismans.

Even so, He Wen made a lot of money.

The silver was in a big bag, and it would take a strong man to lift it up, but He Wen took out a talisman and pasted it on the bag, and the bag became smaller and lighter.

He Wen picked it up easily, but he still looked tired after drawing the talisman for a long time.

He also said: "Everyone, I need to draw a few more powerful talismans, and use them to catch monsters tonight, so I can't waste my mind and skill. Please forgive me."

He has said so, how can the people stop him.

Everyone looked forward to praying, hoping that He Wen would catch the monster tonight, so they wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

County magistrate Zhang immediately stepped forward and invited He Wen to the government office to discuss plans to get rid of the demon.

Of course, He Wen would not refuse, when he arrived at the government office, he gave Xie Beihan the last demon-eliminating talisman: "This is for Xie Shizi to defend himself."

"Thank you very much, I'm still worried about how to talk to Daoist He." Xie Beihan took it immediately.

When the sixth younger sister came, he asked her to see how much this surname He weighed.

Seeing that he had accepted the talisman, a strange light flashed in He Wen's eyes.
