Chapter 429: Dirty and Poisonous Ghost Hands (1,700 monthly tickets for additional updates)
Zhou Qing did not go to the Morning Light Ghosts and Gods Division, nor did he have any contact with people from other government offices.
Rather, I was walking alone in Chenguang County, carefully sensing everything around me, hoping to gain something.
Compared with others, Haoran Qi does have an advantage in searching for demons, but unfortunately, this power is not omnipotent.
Not every demon or every person who practices evil arts can sense it.
Either he is practicing advanced orthodox methods that lead directly to the fairyland, or he is practicing evil magic skills that are not brilliant but special, or there are other special circumstances, which may be ignored by Haoran Qi.
There is no absolutely unsolvable power in this world.
Walking on the road in Chenguang County, Zhou Qing truly realized the dangers of evil cultivators.
The people are in dire straits and the wind is trembling. This is the most intuitive way to describe it.
Some people were killed, but when those who were not killed heard the news, they would definitely become panicked, which would greatly affect the governance of various places.
The harm caused by a demonic disaster is widespread, long-lasting and huge.
At a certain moment, Zhou Qing stopped and looked to the left.
This is a high-walled courtyard, which looks quite impressive.
What made him stop and look away at this moment was one can imagine what was going on inside this high-walled compound.
It is true that there are many situations that can avoid the perception of Haoran Qi, but...
There must be more evil cultivators who can be sensed by Haoran Qi.
The former is the exception, a minority, not the norm.
Zhou Qing walked to the main entrance and saw the plaque from a distance.
"Liu Mansion..."
After thinking about it, Zhou Qing turned and left.
He is not a lone ranger, he is organized, and there is no need to do some things secretly.
In today's situation in Tianyue County, dealing with matters related to the evil cultivator is the general trend.
After arriving at the Ghosts and Gods Division and revealing his identity, Zhou Qing met the temporary person in charge here.
A day-traveling monk named Yuan Tong.
He is in charge of the Ghosts and Gods Division, and his surname is Yuan. His identity is obvious. He is the Yuan family in the county, a friendly unit here in Zhou Qing.
It seems that the Yuan family has a lot of influence in the Department of Ghosts and Gods, with deputy governors and officials at all levels below.
That’s the name, Yuan Tong...
Not to mention, the names of the Yuan family are very familiar to Zhou Qing.
And this Yuan Tong also knew Zhou Qing, received Zhou Qing politely, and then asked:
"What is the important matter when Zhou Xuan came to Chenguang County? If you need help, No matter where you are, come and I will do my best to help you.”
There is no one in the entire Tianyue County who has never heard of Zhou Qing's reputation as a genius, and who doesn't want to have a good relationship with Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing said: "I accidentally got news about a demon and followed that demon here."
He couldn't say that he sensed it with his own awe-inspiring energy. Not many people know about this power, and it can be considered one of his secrets.
Although it is not the kind of secret that must not be leaked, it is okay if it is known, but there is no need to tell it personally.
Tracing the devil here is obviously a very good reason.
Don't ask me why I discovered the devil. If you ask, I already have clues.
After Zhou Qing told about the devil, Yuan Tong's expression suddenly changed.
"The traces of the devil? Where are they?"
"There is a Liu Mansion in Chenguang County. What is that like?" Zhou Qing asked.
“The Liu family is a wealthy family in Chenguang County. The county magistrate’s son and the Liu family’s daughter are husband and wife.”
Yuan Tong briefly introduced the situation of the Liu family, "The eldest son of the head of the Liu family serves as the deputy governor of the Dingwu Division of the county."
"The power is not small."
Being related by marriage to the county magistrate, and having a clan member holding an important position in Dingwu Division, this kind of family is completely a local bully in a county.
Zhou Qing asked again: "What's going on with the deputy governor?"
"He is not in Chenguang County. He has been working in another county during this period." Yuan Tong said.
"Huh? The local Dingwu Division Deputy is not in charge here?" Zhou Qing was suddenly confused.
Yuan Tong explained: "In order to prevent these local officials from harboring local forces and being infiltrated, making the investigation more difficult, the local experts in Tianyue counties were randomly exchanged with each other to other counties."< br>
“Don’t show mercy or make connections. Once a problem is discovered, get to the bottom of it. And after a period of time, then These cultivators and officials will continue to randomly arrange places to solve the problems faced by Tianyue County today as much as possible."
"Even we are not fixed in one county, those masters of the Holy Marrow Cleansing Realm. , the responsible area will also be changed.”
“We will determine the merits and demerits after this matter is over.”
Zhou Qing was stunned when he heard this. This is a rather special method.
But to say whether it is useful, it certainly is.
It is of little use for mortal officials to transfer like this, but practitioners and officials are different. They have the power themselves and have status no matter where they go.
Having a reputation as a master and mastering violence themselves, in another place, they can show their strength unscrupulously and not be constrained by the world's sophistication.
There are definitely disadvantages to this method, but in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
"If that's the case, then maybe the deputy governor doesn't know about the Liu Mansion?" Zhou Qing asked.
"Deputy Governor Liu has not come back, so if he has not come into contact with the devil in other counties, he probably does not know about the traces of the devil you mentioned during that week's patrol."
In Yuan Tong's words, it was obvious that he had concluded that what Zhou Qing said was true.
How could a person like Taibai and Zhou Qing talk nonsense about this kind of thing?
"Is there any problem with searching the Liu Mansion?" "No." Yuan Tong's eyes turned cold.
"If you really dare to hide the devil, let alone a small clan in a county, even the big forces in Tianyue City will have to be liquidated!"
The imperial court generally does not treat local forces. If they take action, the local government will also respect and give in to the local overlords. After all, the relationship between the central and local governments is very complicated.
However, all this has a prerequisite.
If you collude with the devil or betray Da Qi, you will be wiped out without any discussion.
If the local government couldn't do it, Yujing would send someone directly.
Normally, you can give in, but the bottom line of the court must never be touched.
Yuan Tong suddenly showed hesitation, "I'm afraid it's not that the Liu family is hiding the devil, but..."
He didn't finish his words, but Zhou Qing understood what he meant. .
But the devil is secretly hiding in the Liu Mansion, and may even have committed the murder secretly.
In that case, the people of the Liu family may be in trouble.
"I'm going to find some helpers and go to Liu's house together."
After Yuan Tong finished speaking, he walked out directly and came back with about ten people not long after.
Then Zhou Qing and him led the way to the Liu Mansion. After arriving here, the faint feeling still existed.
The people from the Ghosts and Gods Department directly pushed open the door of Liu's mansion. The guard was trembling and did not dare to say a word.
Working as a guard for a big family in Chenguang County, if you don't know these people, it can be said to be a waste of time.
"You guys spread out and guard the Liu Mansion. No one can leave without my permission."
"You guys go and call out all the Liu family members. Go up. From the head of the family to the servants, as long as they are not dead, they all will appear in front of me."
Yuan Tong gave orders, of course, Zhou Qing was not included in his orders.
Zhou Qing said to Yuan Tong: "I will also go and take a look in case the devil hiding here jumps over the wall."
"Sorry for Zhou Xunyou's trouble."
Zhou Qing walked directly in the direction where Ling Haoran's energy changed.
After arriving there, he found that it seemed to be a kitchen. When he opened the door and went in, Haoran's angry movements became more obvious.
In the kitchen, there was only one middle-aged man.
Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and came to the viscera realm to cook for a group of mortals?
He didn't even get this treatment at Taibai Martial Arts School!
The daily meals at Taibai Martial Arts School are all cooked by special personnel, not by the disciples themselves.
Yes, this middle-aged man is a warrior in the viscera realm.
At this time, there was a noise outside. It was the Liu family members who were called out, talking and making noise, not knowing what was going on.
The movement outside also made the middle-aged man's expression change, and then his eyes revealed a fierce look.
"The court's lackey has a really sharp nose. He found him so quickly."
Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, he turned around and left, with no intention of conflict with Zhou Qing.
“Boom!”
Relying on his strong body, the middle-aged man directly knocked down the wall and tried to escape.
Ordinary buildings are too fragile for viscera realm warriors and are not a hindrance at all.
But the wall couldn't stop him, but a hand was placed on the middle-aged man who had just ran not far away, and he squeezed him tightly, preventing him from moving.
"We are destined to meet each other, so why rush to leave." Zhou Qing said quietly.
“Hoo!”
The man looked horrified, the wind of his fist roared, he turned around and punched, very decisively.
Zhou Qing quickly raised his hand and opened his palm, directly catching his punch.
"Is this your full strength?"
Pinched his shoulders and threw him hard. The middle-aged man was directly hit to the ground by Zhou Qing. Before he could react, he was hit hard again and kicked away. go out.
After this commotion, Yuan Tong and the others naturally rushed over. After seeing the middle-aged man's face clearly, Yuan Tong exclaimed.
"Dirty and poisonous ghost hands! This is the evil cultivator wanted in Tianhai County!"
Zhou Qing's speed was too fast for the naked eye to catch, and he appeared in front of the middle-aged man again.
"Still a wanted criminal."
After confirming the man's identity, Zhou Qing stopped holding back and stepped on him, making him scream and wail.
The true energy surged out and entered the body of the "Dirty Poison Ghost Hand", violently destroying his tendons and sealing his acupuncture points.
Several people from the Department of Ghosts and Gods ran over and quickly tied him up.
Others looked at Zhou Qing with awe in their eyes.
It's really terrifying to kick an evil cultivator in the viscera realm like a ball.
The Liu family members who were watching further away were all frightened.
“Zirty Poison Ghost Hand is an evil cultivator who is good at using poison, and this poison is poison to the five internal organs. Once in the body, it will corrode the five internal organs, making it extremely difficult to cure.”
Yuan Tong came over and quickly explained to Zhou Qing the identity of this person.
“This person used to be an evil cultivator active in Tianhai County. Because of the particularity and concealment of poisonous skills, he caused great harm but has never been caught.”
"We have also discovered many demons from surrounding counties before, so we exchanged wanted information with the surrounding Ghost and God Division and Dingwu Division, and we all know something about these people."
"He appeared in The Liu family is still here, I’m afraid it’s really not possible It is the Liu family who is harboring the devil. Of course, the details require further investigation. "
But what Yuan Tong said makes a lot of sense. Whoever harbors the evil cultivator would hide a master of poisoning in the kitchen? Isn't this the old man who eats arsenic because he thinks he will live longer?
