Six Gods

Chapter 3 Decoy!

morning, small house
"Uncle Wang, are you serious?" Looking at Wang Chong with raised eyebrows, Xiang Yuan's eyes, expression, and expression were full of suspicion.

"Well, let's go." With a serious and determined expression on his face, Wang Chong nodded heavily!
"Hmm..." After pondering for a long time, Xiang Yuan suddenly realized, and clasped his fists together: "Oh my god, I haven't written the copybook my husband left me yesterday, and my father knew he had to beat me up.

Uncle Wang, I'll go first!
We are destined to see you again! "

"Where are you going!" With one hand, Xiang Yuan, who was about to run away, slipped back, and Wang Chong persuaded softly, "Don't worry, I also experienced this when I was practicing, just bear with it and it will pass!"

"Brother, this is boiling water. Are you sure you don't want to boil me in a hot pot?" Swallowing, Xiang Yuan looked at a large iron bucket taller than him that was boiling and floating with various medicinal materials. The liquid in his eyes was full of resistance.

"This concoction is my unique recipe, it looks like it's boiling, but it's actually not hot.

Don't worry, Uncle Wang won't harm you.Get ready, I'll throw you in on the count of three, lest you run away again. "Grabbing Xiang Yuan and lifting him to the iron bucket, Wang Chong said.

"Uncle Wang, wait..."

"three!"

With a release of his hands, and with a scream, Xiang Yuan smashed into the iron bucket with a thud.

In an instant, the water splashed everywhere!

As soon as he fell into the iron bucket, Xiang Yuan instinctively struggled to crawl out, but the temperature, which was only slightly hotter than warm water, made him calm down quickly.

"Don't burn it." Appearing beside the bucket with a smile, Wang Chong said, "Let's soak it well. This bucket of medicinal juice has cost your Uncle Wang a lot of savings. You can't waste it on me."

Feeling the medicinal juice exuding a strong herbal smell, Xiang Yuan did not feel hot, only a pungent and pungent smell kept rushing into his nose.

Seeing Xiang Yuan shrunk down in the concoction obediently, Wang Chong nodded in satisfaction.

Guangling County Magistrate's Office
Xiang Mu Nanxie, who was invited to the yamen by the county magistrate of Guangling early in the morning, sat in the back hall of the yamen, secretly speculating in his heart.

I don't know what the county magistrate has to do today...

After waiting in the back hall for about half a stick of incense, Meng Hongjun, magistrate of Guangling County, led two young people to the back hall.

Seeing Meng Hongjun coming, Xiang Munan got up quickly.

"Master Xiang, let me introduce you, these two were specially appointed by the imperial court to help us catch the murderer.

These two are big men with profound backgrounds, the old man must remember not to offend them. Meng Hongjun continued after reminding Xiang Munan in a serious tone in a low voice.

The two young masters Pei Qing and Pei Yong, this is Mr. Xiang from the Xiang family in Guangling. The Xiang family is the most wealthy household in Guangling.

What you asked for, in our Guangling, maybe only Mr. Xiang can do it. "

"Master Xiang, my two brothers were ordered by the imperial court to come to Guangling to eliminate disasters. I hope that the old man can cooperate with my brothers and restore Guangling to a clean place as soon as possible."

Pei Qing and Pei Yong are quite similar in appearance, but as the elder brother, Pei Yong is more calm and sophisticated, and he speaks with a bit of politeness.

And his younger brother Pei Qing looked a little frivolous, especially with a pair of sharp and haughty eyes, always filled with a feeling of indifference, which made Xiang Munan faintly displeased.

"Where is it, I can do something for the people of Guangling, I wish for it.

Feel free to mention whatever you need, I will try my best to satisfy you. "Hearing Meng Hongjun's reminder, Xiang Munan's face remained unchanged, but his heart was shaken, and Meng Hongjun could make a special reminder that these two people must have great energy, and they are absolutely impossible to offend.

But what Pei Yong said next not only changed Xiang Munan's expression, but even Meng Hongjun's expression froze.

"It's like this. I hope that the master can provide 1 taels of silver for my two brothers."

In Guangling, a normal family’s monthly expenses are about three renminbi, or three hundred wen, and the annual tax in Guangling is only more than 2 taels.

Now Pei Yong asked for 1 taels of silver, which really made Xiang Munan and Meng Hongjun feel a little bit shocked.

"What, is there a problem?" Seeing the expressions of Xiang Munan and Meng Hongjun, Pei Yong frowned.

"My little brother, can I ask why you want so much money?" Xiang Munan, who even Meng Hongjun wanted to treat each other with courtesy, did not dare to offend easily, so he could only ask nicely.

"Tell you, can you understand?" Pei Qing, whose eyes were full of impatience, said before Pei Yong answered.

Blocked by Pei Qing's unceremonious words, Xiang Munan immediately showed embarrassment, Meng Hongjun at the side quickly smoothed things over and said: "Both of you, you are from a big place, our Guangling is a small town, and 1 taels of silver is indeed not enough for a family of two." The family can easily take it out."

"Don't worry, both of you, the 1 taels of silver my brother and I are only using to deal with the murderer, not for personal use.

After the murderer was caught, the original amount of 1 taels of silver was returned. "Waving his hand to stop Pei Qing who was about to speak again, Pei Yong explained with a smile.

"If that's the case... how about this, you two go back to the post house to rest first. The government will call together the rich households in Guangling to discuss and get together the 1 taels of silver for the two of you." After a little hesitation, Meng Hongjun followed suit.

Looking at each other, the Pei brothers nodded and then walked away.

After the two brothers Pei Yong left, the smile on Meng Hongjun's face gradually subsided, and he turned around and sat down in the hall.

"My lord, who are these two people?"

After a moment of silence, he asked Mu Nan in a deep voice.

"I don't know, but they do have documents from the imperial court."

Rubbing the arm of the chair, Meng Hongjun said, "Anyway, they have documents from the imperial court, and we will try our best to satisfy their demands. This 1 taels of silver... old man, how much can you take."

After thinking for a while, Xiang Munan said, "Three thousand. Although my Xiang family has a big business, it is impossible to save so much cash. The money is basically on the goods."

"Three thousand is three thousand, and I will find the rest to make up with wealthy households." Sighing, Meng Hongjun got up sadly: "I only hope that the two brothers are really capable of arresting the murderer. Give me back the blue sky and white sun in Guangling."

Looking at the sad look on Meng Hongjun's face, Xiang Munan also knew in his heart how much pressure the county magistrate had on him due to the successive terrorist murders in the Guangling area.

"My lord, don't worry too much, there will always be a solution..." He comforted Meng Hongjun, but in his heart, Xiang Munan was somewhat skeptical about whether the two young brothers could settle this incident. .

After that, Meng Hongjun summoned dozens of wealthy households in Guangling, large and small, and even mobilized Guangling's bank to get together the 1 taels of silver requested by Brother Pei Yong.

When the 1 taels of snowflake silver were neatly placed in the back hall of the yamen, the reflected brilliance made the people standing beside them squint their eyes.

With a smile all over his face, he led Brother Pei Yong to the back hall. Meng Hongjun pointed at the other party and called him a snowflake of silver: "You two, 1 taels of silver are all together."

Seeing that Meng Hongjun had collected 1 taels of silver in a very short period of time, the Pei Yong brothers nodded in satisfaction.

"It's really troublesome County Magistrate Meng." Cupping his hands to thank Meng Hongjun, Pei Yong circled around the mountain of silver: "With this mountain of silver, we are [-]% sure of catching that murderer.

County Magistrate Meng, I would like to trouble you to gather children under the age of 12 in Guangling and children over five years old in Guangtai outside Rongyang Gate. "

Hearing that Pei Yong suddenly wanted to summon children aged five to 12, Meng Hongjun couldn't help but bewildered: "This is..."

"The murderer was afraid of the two of us, he didn't dare to show his head, and hid in the depths. But he likes to eat the hearts and livers of people, and the hearts and livers of children aged five to 12 are the most delicious.

So we have to pick one of the children in Guangling and use it as a bait to lure out that villain, and my two brothers can capture him. "

After hearing Pei Yong's explanation, Meng Hongjun's eyes shrank suddenly: "Using children as bait, this... this..."

Clearly seeing the growing resistance in Meng Hongjun's eyes, Pei Yong stepped forward and approached Meng Hongjun in a low voice: "Master Meng, my two brothers are ordered by the court to arrest the murderer this time, if it is because of your disapproval Cooperate and lead to mission failure, who do you think should be responsible for this?
Besides, sacrifice one person in exchange for the safety of the entire Guangling.Not worth it? "

"But..." The bottom line in his heart was touched, and the struggling look on Meng Hongjun's face became more intense.

"No, but if the murderer is not eliminated, the murders will continue to happen.

If you hesitate here again, I think you, the county magistrate, will be done too! "Pei Yong's yell made Meng Hongjun shudder suddenly.

Lifting his sleeves and wiping the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Meng Hongjun gritted his teeth: "Okay...okay..."

……

next day
On Guangtai outside the Rongyang Gate of Guangling, hundreds of children aged five to 12 came here under the leadership of their parents. The sound of discussion and conversation made the whole Guangtai fall into a chaotic scene.

Standing on the second floor of the restaurant on one side, brothers Pei Yong and Pei Qing looked down at the young children on the Guangtai.

"Brother, isn't one too small? Find a few more and tie them together, that guy will definitely not be able to bear it." Looking at the ignorant parents and children, Pei Qing said indifferently.

"No, we affected too many civilians in Miyang before, and the clan has sent me a letter telling us to restrain ourselves recently and not to affect the civilians any more.

And although the county magistrate surnamed Meng is timid, he may not be afraid of things.

Once he reports the matter, trouble will inevitably come to his door. "Looking around twice, Pei Yong turned around and sat down at the tea table beside him: "Find one that is full of flavor and full of energy and blood as soon as possible. After this matter is over, we have to rush to Liaohe to help Sixth Brother and the others as soon as possible. "

"En." Nodding, Pei Qing raised his hands to cover his mouth and nose, a cloudy light flashed in his eyes, and two rows of slender beards suddenly grew on both sides of his cheeks, just like cats and dogs.

After growing a beard, Pei Qing twitched his nose quickly, and the mysterious and powerful demon power spread out.

"Eh? This..." Suddenly there was a slight hey, Pei Qing quickly twitched his nose twice, and then his eyes turned.

"What's wrong?" Pei Yong asked, looking sideways at Pei Qing with a strange expression on his face.

"I smell a little guy with a very strong smell, but... he is not among this group of kids." The beard on his face disappeared, Pei Qing turned to Pei Yong and said.

"Not here? So...it should be a child of some rich family." With a few chuckles, Pei Yong stood up and walked downstairs: "Go, let's take a look."

……

At the same time, Xiang Yuan, who was exercising in the yard at home, looked happy. After soaking in the concoction Wang Chong prepared for him, the growth rate of his muscles accelerated a bit, which made him very happy.

"Hey, hey! You can't intrude, come here, come here!" The servant's exclamation suddenly came from next to his ear, making Xiang Yuan put down the stone lock in his hand in doubt, and poked his head to wonder what happened.
