I'm the one running the game

A large number of demons and ghosts were summoned, and there were quite a few of them, but only a few of them transformed, only three in total.

Among them were a white snake, a green fish, and the rich businessman toad, but the rich businessman toad was a tricky way of transformation, and the transformation was not so thorough.

The white snake and the green fish were quite skilled, and seemed to be outsiders, and had just arrived not long ago.

Then Lu Xingshi explained his requirements, and the demons and ghosts looked different, and didn't know how to deal with them for a while.

On the contrary, the white snake and the green fish had an indifferent expression, as if they were going to make a fortune in Shao'an Mansion and leave, and were not prepared to stay any longer.

After the requirements were made, they were directly disbanded. Lu Xingshi thought that it would not be enough to have only demons and ghosts, and he had to ask the official power of Shao'an Mansion to help him find it.

So he found the Lord of Shao'an Mansion as soon as possible.

"Master, you don't know..." The Lord of Shao'an Mansion started crying as soon as he arrived, saying how miserable his Shao'an Mansion was tormented by these demons and evil spirits, and he wanted Lu Xingshi to help him slay the demons and give them a clear and bright world.

"Lord, you don't know, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't." Lu Xingshi sighed: "I came from the capital to hunt this evil, and I surrendered to your Shao'an Mansion."

"If I can't kill it in time, when this evil is successful in the future, not only will your Shao'an Mansion be the first to suffer, but also the people of the world."

The other party cried miserably and blackmailed Lu Xingshi morally, so Lu Xingshi was not polite, and directly sympathized with the world and coerced the other party with righteousness.

You are just a place in a mere prefecture, and what he wants to do is related to the people of the world. Unless you are shameless and act rogue, it is impossible to refute.

If the other party dares to act rogue, then Lu Xingshi will use his fists to make the other party talk to him calmly.

Lord Shao An was speechless for a while. It was not that he could not refute, but that he did not dare to refute.

Having been an official for many years, how could he not be defeated by Lu Xingshi? It was just that he understood Lu Xingshi's thoughts and could not change them.

Forcible entanglement would not only fail to achieve his goal, but also make Lu Xingshi disgusted, and ultimately lose more than the gain.

"Since the Taoist priest is so difficult, then I will help the Taoist priest to eliminate this evil obstacle first, and then ask the Taoist priest to give Shao An Mansion a clean Ming after the matter." Lord Shao An directly said that I will help you, but you must also eliminate the monsters in Shao An Mansion afterwards.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he naturally nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Lord, this is my job."

He was polite to the other party. In fact, even if the other party did not ask him, Lu Xingshi would kill these monsters.

The two chatted with each other, and there was a hurried knock on the door outside.

"Lord, something big happened." A yamen runner said with a nervous tone.

"Come in." The mansion master's face was a little ugly, but he let the other party in to talk.

The yamen runner hesitated when he saw Lu Xingshi.

"Just say it, this Taoist priest is not an outsider." The mansion master didn't have many taboos. Most of the people who could find him at this time were official business, and few were personal matters.

"The official silver in the warehouse was stolen." The yamen runner said it directly.

The mansion master smiled: "How much tael was lost? Go and ask someone to catch the thief."

He was relieved. Losing official silver could be a big or small matter, depending on whether he wanted to deal with it.

"All." The yamen runner said with difficulty.

The smile on the face of Shao An mansion master was completely stiff, and his voice was several tones higher: "You said all were stolen?!"

Losing a hundred or eighty taels is called theft, and losing all is not called theft, but robbery.

How could so many silver taels in the warehouse be lost quietly?

As for taking a little at a time, it will add up to a lot?

This is simply impossible. There will be an inventory every month. A small amount can be attributed to fire consumption, but a large amount is very obvious.

"All stolen. Those were still there yesterday, but they were all gone when we counted today." The yamen runners could only report truthfully.

"It seems that it is not done by ordinary people. It is either evil ways or demons and ghosts." Lu Xingshi interrupted.

"Master, look..." Lord Shao An also reacted. It is definitely not something that ordinary people can do to take away so much silver quietly.

You must know that there are three million taels of official silver in the warehouse. No matter the quantity or weight, it is absolutely impossible to take it away without any movement.

"I'll go and take a look. Lead the way." Seeing this, Lu Xingshi always felt that this matter was unusual.

Initially suspected that it was done by evil ways. Generally speaking, demons and ghosts do not value gold and silver. Their hard currency is blood food.

Blood food is not only human beings. Other demons and ghosts are naturally in their menu. However, compared with people who have not practiced Taoism, it is the safest to hunt them.

On the contrary, many evil ways, such as magic, elixir, talismans, magic weapons, arrays, etc., require gold and silver as the primer.

Poor in literature, rich in martial arts, and practicing Taoism ruins the family.

There is no extraordinary currency such as spirit stones, and cultivation requires the use of mundane goods, so gold and silver, which are endowed with value, have their uses.

As for being monopolized by Taoists, this is probably courting death.

It's not a gangster cultivation of immortals, there are a lot of immortals and gods, if you dare to do this, you will be dealt with.

Immortals and gods don't do this, but you, a bunch of immortal god reserve, are so bold that you really think the immortals and gods are just decorations.

Besides, the number of cultivators is very small, accounting for only a tiny part of the total population. They can't dig it out by themselves if they monopolize it. This is a feudal society, not a modern society with capital.

There are also demons and evil ways as external enemies, and the cultivators can't do whatever they want.

However, with the mentality of cultivators, they won't do it even if they can monopolize it.

Lv Xingshi arrived at the warehouse under the leadership of the yamen runners and accompanied by the Lord of the Mansion.

After a careful inspection, he soon found out how the official silver was moved away.

"Five ghosts moved it." Lu Xingshi said.

Lord of the Mansion Shao An was not surprised much, he had been prepared for it.

"It's just a little strange. What does a demon want official silver for? Doesn't it know that if such a large amount of official silver circulates on the market, it will be easy to catch the source?" Lu Xingshi said with a strange look.

"It's a demon?" This time Lord Shao An was really surprised. According to his guess, it would be an evil way.

As Lu Xingshi said, as long as this amount of official silver circulates on the market, even if only a small part of it will be caught.

There is indeed silver in the currency circulating in the market, but there is definitely no official silver.

Official silver is used to enter the treasury, that is, the tax revenue and fiscal revenue of each province and prefecture.

The words or patterns of the official silver logo must be engraved to facilitate the management of the treasury.

So it is not used for circulation.

If the evil way obtains official silver, it doesn’t matter. Whether it is the material for refining elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, or as an inducement for practicing magic and supernatural powers, it will be consumed, so it will not be circulated at all, so it is impossible to track it down.

Monsters don’t need it, unless they are monsters who have entered the Tao, but there are very few monsters who have entered the Tao, and most of them are wild monsters.

They have their own magic and supernatural powers. If they want to practice, they have to enter the Tao. It is better to increase their cultivation and Taoism by swallowing blood food, and they can also satisfy their appetite, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, the speed of increasing cultivation and Taoism by eating blood is slower than practicing by yourself.

It’s just that there is no way to enter the Tao, so this method can only be chosen as a substitute.

"The demons and monsters I have seen in Shaoan Mansion are not able to perform this level of Five Ghosts Moving. " Lu Xingshi said again.

"Isn't it the work of foreign demons?" Shaoan Mansion Lord felt disappointed. According to this situation, the official silver would definitely not be recovered.

Fortunately, Dazhao had a series of accidents, and he could find a way to get rid of the official silver.

"It shouldn't be. Besides, the Five Ghosts Moving is not just a simple magic. If there are five ghosts, they can achieve this effect with very low cultivation." Lu Xingshi said again.

The targets appeared in his mind, namely the white snake demon and the green fish demon.

These two are foreign demons, and with their cultivation, if there are five ghosts to help, they can achieve this level.

But he has no evidence, but he directly said his guess.

After hearing this, Shaoan Mansion Lord did not dare to act.

If it were in the past, there would be no scruples about these, just capture them directly.

However, there is no Taoist in Shaoan Mansion now, and the dynasty's protection has disappeared, so he and others have become vulnerable.

If they dare to take action, these two monsters will dare to eat them.

"I don't know if the Taoist priest can recover this official silver. I am willing to give half to you." Shaoan Mansion Lord gritted his teeth and said.

If he gives, he can get half back to make up for the deficit.

If he doesn't give, he will have nothing.

"Forget about the gift. This is the official silver of Dazhao." Lu Xingshi is not greedy at all. If he takes it, it will easily give others a handle.

"I am very interested in this monster taking the silver. Maybe there is some secret in it."

"Besides, the two monsters, the snake and the fish, stole the official silver. It's just my guess. There is no evidence."

Lu Xingshi naturally won't say it very confidently. Who knows what the truth is.

"But I still have to track down the evildoers. I'm afraid I can't get away from this matter. You can only investigate it yourself." Lu Xingshi was very good to come to the warehouse to help the other party check, and he was not good at investigating cases.

"If it is really the work of these two monsters, please help me later." Lord Shao An saw this and did not force Lu Xingshi. He did not have the ability to force him now, so he could only beg.

"Don't worry, Lord. If there is evidence, I will definitely help." Lu Xingshi did not refuse this time. He just regarded it as a way to gain merit and kill a chicken to scare the monkey.

Those monsters may not be dedicated to their work. Killing two of the strongest ones will scare them so that they will not be hypocritical.

Lord Shao An was sad in his heart: 'I don't know when the dynasty's protection will be restored. I am a great Lord, but now... Alas. '

When the dynasty's protection was still there, how dare the monsters and evil ways enter the city? The cultivators like Lu Xingshi respected him even more, instead of him being so servile now. He had to beg others for help when he wanted to do something. How could he be so servile?
