I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 207: The Out-of-Control Ghost Walker (asking for monthly ticket)

The journey back to the city was relatively smooth. It was afternoon when we arrived at Tianliang City. The city gate was heavily guarded, and there were also black-armored guards patrolling after entering the city.

There was no one setting up stalls on the street, only a few people responsible for sweeping the snow, who were all minor officials from various government offices.

The city is very quiet, depressing and deserted, not as lively and bustling as Wangshan City.

Sang Que drove the donkey cart behind He Buning and the others and headed straight for the Evil Suppression Division. When they passed by a restaurant, they suddenly heard bursts of cheerful music, which came from the erhu.

Sang Que pulled the reins of the donkey cart, slowed down the speed, and when passing by the entrance of a roadside restaurant, he saw Cheng Ge standing in the middle of the restaurant lobby, with a smile on his face, playing the erhu.

There were quite a few drunk middle-aged men around, singing and dancing to the rhythm of the music, which was quite a scene.

Many of those middle-aged men were equipped with swords and armor, and they should be soldiers on leave.

Chengge's younger brother Xingzhu was holding a tray, asking for tips from the diners around him, but not many people were willing to give him money, and he looked very disappointed.

Sang Que also saw a man sitting at the door, with no one around him. He had a sullen face and drank alone, and he didn't fit in with the people in the center of the lobby.

He had a golden Night Patrol token hanging on his waist. He was Chi San, the captain of the Ze team of the Night Patrol of Tianliang City, and had been punished by He Bu Ning.

Sang Que looked at Cheng Ge, whose smile was as warm as spring breeze, and said, "Xiao Chan, help me."

Xiao Chan was tearing the dried meat so hard that he couldn't bite it, with so much force that his face was deformed. He heard Sang Que talking, and he had no choice but to put down the dried meat, listened carefully to what Sang Que said, and stretched his head to look inside the restaurant.

……

The evil-suppressing office in Tianliang City is similar to that in Wangshan City. Both have archways made of Tousheng stone. The overall architecture is mainly black, exuding a sense of majesty and solemnity.

Before entering, He Bu Ning took a few steps back and suddenly said to Sang Que, "The evil department of Tianliang Town has made such a big mistake this time. From now on, the people of the Night Patrol, Day Patrol, Gongcaoyuan, and Patrol Yuan here will have to be replaced from top to bottom. What do you think if I nominate you to lead the Ze team of the Tianliang City Night Patrol?"

Sang Que looked at He Buning in surprise. She had just become a silver player last month, so was she going to be promoted to a gold player now?
"You consider it first. If you are willing, after you are promoted to the ghost level, I will report to General Cao. It is not a new thing for those with strength to be promoted exceptionally within the Night Travel Envoy."

He Buning looked at Sang Que deeply. He used to think that Sang Que was too upright and would not be able to get along in officialdom. But when he saw that the evil officials in Tianliang Town were in collusion with each other, almost everyone turned a blind eye to the loss of evil objects and magic tools. He believed that the emperor was far away and the higher-ups could not interfere.

He Buning felt that a place like this still needed someone who was upright and had absolute strength to take charge.

As long as Sang Que can successfully be promoted to the ghost level in the future and guard the evil spirit town of Tianliang Town, it will be enough.

"Sister?" Xia Chan asked when she saw Sang Que standing there in a daze.

Sang Que came back to his senses, smiled and followed.

He Buning called the dean of Gongcaoyuan to the meeting room. The dean was a middle-aged scholar with a beard named Jia Shu. Although Gongcaoyuan and Yeyoushi were two departments with their own strict rules and regulations, they did not have to obey the orders of Yeyouxiaowei.

But at this moment, Jia Shu felt very guilty facing He Buning and could only smile and be cautious.

Jia Shu knew something about the lost things, but unfortunately he was just a scholar who managed the Gongcaoyuan. Although those powerful Day Tour and Night Tour did not dare to kill him directly, they did not take him seriously either.

General Zou Yin is stationed in Wangshan City's Evil Ghost Division and will not come to Tianliang City. Captain He only comes here once a year and stays for only three to five days when he does.

After dealing with evil spirits for a long time, the minds of those who roam during the day and at night will be distorted, and Jia Shu really doesn't dare to provoke them.

During the few days when He Buning went out to hunt down the dragon and snake boy statue, Jia Shu heard a few day messengers gathering together and secretly cursing He Buning for being stingy.

It is said that Gongcaoyuan keeps those evil objects, aren't they there for people to use? If they are thrown away, they can be thrown away. Is there a need to make such a big fuss and chill people's hearts?

They also said that such things happened not only in the Xiesi of Tianliang Town, but also in the Xiesi of other places. Can they be checked?

He Buning was sitting and drinking tea with a strong aura. Xiaowu was serious and Xiaoliu explained the results of their investigation on behalf of He Buning.

"... Dean Jia, you've seen that the snow is unusually heavy. It's very likely caused by the Dragon Snake Boy. Of all the lost Yin objects, this one is the most dangerous. If it's not recovered in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

Jia Shu understood the interests involved, but he was very confused. Nothing had happened to the lost things in the past three years, but why did it snow heavily as soon as Hu Bu Ning and his men arrived? He felt that something was fishy.

Although thinking this in his heart, Jia Shu did not dare to speak, so he could only ask, "What do you have in mind, Captain He? Please give me your instructions." He Buning put down the teacup and said, "You find a way to determine the location of the dragon and snake boy statue, and I can handle the rest. We have been delayed here for too long, and we must return to Wangshan City before New Year's Eve."

Jia Shu had a quick mind and immediately thought of the ghost eye.

The border guards in Yunzhou have been fighting with the barbarians in Yunzhou all year round. Those barbarians are proficient in witchcraft and are good at driving evil spirits. Using the ghost eyes, they can directly perceive the traces of evil spirits, clarify the source of evil spirits, and solve the evil spirits in time, which is beneficial to the soldiers of Xuan Dynasty.

Therefore, the Ghost Eye has always been closely guarded, and it is something that must not be lost. Now it is winter and the war has stopped, and the Ghost Eye has been sent back to the secret vault of Gongcaoyuan.

But even if I use the Ghost Eye, I have to first find an item or a place related to the Dragon Snake Boy. Now that the thing is lost, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find it even with the Ghost Eye.

He Buning guessed what Jia Shu was thinking, and asked, "Where was the dragon-snake boy statue originally placed?"

Jia Shu suddenly had an idea. "Yes, if we use the ghost eye to look directly at the place where the dragon snake boy statue was originally placed, we may be able to find out who took the dragon snake boy statue away."

Moreover, as long as the Ghost Eye is not lent out and does not leave the Gongcaoyuan secret vault, nothing will go wrong.

"Captain He, please be patient. I will arrange for someone to check it out right away."

Jia Shu went to make the arrangements, but He Buning, who had lost a ghost eye before, did not follow to avoid suspicion.

From sunset till nightfall, the summer cicada secretly pulled the sleeve of the mulberry bird, saying that she was hungry.

He Bu Ning, who had been secretly paying attention to Xia Chan, said, "You guys go eat first."

Xiaowu stayed as usual, loyally accompanying He Buning, and asked Xiaoliu to come back and bring them food.

Xiaoliu took Sangque and Xiachan to the cafeteria. The cafeteria of Zhenxiesi was just like an ordinary restaurant. There were tables in the lobby. You could order dishes and the chefs would cook them.

They arrived late, there was no one in the lobby, and the waiter who was responsible for serving the food was dozing off.

Summer cicadas are quite voracious eaters, so Xiaoliu ordered a portion of all the dishes that could be cooked today. The dishes were served quickly and tasted just as good as usual.

Halfway through the meal, Sangque suddenly smelled a rotten odor, like a sewer.

Tick ​​tock!

The cold water fell from above his head and landed right into Sangque's rice bowl.

The rice in her bowl immediately turned black and grew hair at a speed visible to the naked eye, and small wriggling worms appeared.

Sang Que stood up immediately, sensing that the atmosphere was not right. She looked around and found that there was no one in the lobby. The tables, chairs and benches around her had become extremely damp and were dripping with water.

There was also water pouring in from outside, like a flood on a rainy day, and soon the entire lobby was submerged.

"Get on the table!"

Sangque pulled Xiaochan onto the table. Xiachan was still holding the steamed bun in his hand and refused to let go. Xiaoliu was also quick to climb onto the table next to him.

In the blink of an eye, the water had reached halfway up the table legs.

Immediately afterwards, bubbles gurgled in the turbid and smelly water, and one pale corpse after another floated up.

Xiao Liu stared in shock, "What the hell is this thing that actually attacked the Night Walker in the Evil Suppression Division?!"

Sang Que felt something and looked towards the door. A drunk man, soaking wet, was walking in from the water step by step, staring at Sang Que. On his waist hung a golden Night Walker token.

"I want to see if you are really capable of taking my place!"

Xiao Liu saw who was coming and became furious, "Chi San, are you crazy?"

Sang Que was on full alert. She didn't know Chi San before, but at this moment, she felt that Chi San was somewhat similar to the out-of-control ghost she met last time.

See you tomorrow~
