Chapter 449 Situation
Zou Jingping said: "Let's talk in another place."
"Okay." Li Chuan said.
Li Chuan and the others followed Zou Jingping to the east study room next to the second hall. As soon as they sat down, another man walked in with two knives hanging on his waist.
Li Chuan recognized this man. His surname was Tang and his name was Su. He was a small leader in the Monster Hunting Department, the Monster Hunter Envoy. When Li Chuan was working in the Monster Hunting Department before, he had met and chatted with him several times.
After Tang Su came in, he said, "Dr. Li, Shaojian Bo asked me to come here. He said that what you have to do in Yashan County is of great importance, and he asked me to try my best to help."
"Brother Tang, you're welcome. "Li Chuan said.
Tang Su glanced at Zou Jingping, and then said: "The Monster Hunting Division has been unable to enter Yashan County before. This time it was finally possible to get in, but there were various stumbling blocks overtly and covertly. In addition to the news that spread, the above Hundreds of demon hunters came here one after another, causing a lot of trouble. Fortunately, Mr. Zou came and stabilized the situation."
Li Chuan quickly thanked Zou Jingping and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zou. "
Zou Jingping said: "The situation in Yashan County is complicated. Mr. Tang has just arrived. It is not easy to do this. "
"By the way, this is Taoist Wen, as you all know, and this is Taoist Yao. They are all here for this matter." Li Chuan briefly introduced the identities of Wen and Yao to Tang Su and Zou Jingping.
After the greetings, Li Chuan asked again: "What is the situation in Yashan County now?"
"Let me tell you first." Zou Jingping said.
"Mr. Zou, please speak." Li Chuan said.
Zou Jingping said: "After Prince Su was put under house arrest, it was true that the general's people were stationed here, but the Jiang Dynasty had been without war for more than 20 years. These people were nominally under the control of the general, but It is difficult for the general to completely control them. I am not trying to excuse the general, but the fact is that there is no way. Prince Su has been operating in Yashan County for many years, and he does know how to manage the territory. A prince who treats his people well”
"So people in Yashan County all think that Prince Su was murdered by a traitor, and this traitor is the general, and..." Zou Jingping glanced at Tang Su and said, "There is also the palace supervisor Zheng."
“Fortunately, the harvest this year is pretty good and there will be no chaos.” Zou Jingping sighed with emotion.
He said: "After the Monster Hunting Division came in, the number of demons and ghosts causing trouble in Yashan County suddenly increased again. And this time, it was different from the one that started years ago. Although that time There are also many monsters that enter the world, but they all act based on instinct, and many of the things they cause make people laugh or cry, but they are not difficult to deal with. Those who cause murders are still in the minority."
"And this. Once, these monsters seemed to have lost some restraint, and seemed to want to vent their anger, causing chaos in various places in Yashan County. After the monster hunter came in, the two groups started fighting, and they became more and more courageous, and suffered. They are all civilians. "
"I came here originally just to restrain the behavior of these soldiers, and then summarize and refine the news from everywhere... But the situation has deteriorated to this point, and Yashan County cannot be allowed to really do it. There's chaos." Zou Jingping took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, "Those soldiers, I have many ways to make them obey, but there are two groups of monsters and monster hunters, so I have no choice. So I took the initiative to find them. I asked Mr. Tang and gave me some ideas.”
"These monsters must be deterred. There must also be clear rewards and punishments for the behavior of the monster hunters. Mr. Tang agreed with my idea and roughly explained to me the strength of the monster hunters here. So we made a strategy and A news spread."
"What news?" Li Chuan asked.
Zou Jingping said: "The letters we found in the secret areas of Prince Su's palace mentioned some secret relics and magic weapons, and there were words such as golden cicadas escaping from their shells and making a comeback. "
"In order to make this news credible, I also arranged for the general's people to steal the letter from Mr. Tang. Finally, some monsters were believed. ""Those monsters are quite interesting, one. After being caught, the others came to rescue them one by one. After brutally killing a dozen monsters and letting them get the letters, they fled elsewhere."

After hearing this, Li Chuan understood why Xiao Xiang came to Tianju Mountain to seek refuge. He looked at Wen Guying, who nodded at him, and he knew that Wen Guying had seen this incident from Xiao Xiang's past.
Zou Jingping said: "After that, we severely punished those demon hunters who committed mischief, and rewarded those demon hunters who made meritorious service in this matter. Although it was difficult for us to change our reputation among the people for a while , but at least the situation is stable."
Li Chuan thanked him sincerely again: "Mr. Zou for your hard work."
"It's just... because I put most of my effort and manpower into it. I focused on these things, so I neglected other places." Zou Jingping said frankly: "The hunter went to the nunnery again half a month ago and never came out."
"He had already been there once in the fall. At that time, he burned paper around and left. I received the news and thought he was going to pay homage to his sister, so I didn't think much about it. Unexpectedly, he went again."
Li Chuan asked: "Is there no one watching over there?"
"There has always been," Zou Jingping replied, "It's just that he is very skilled and familiar with the mountains and forests, so it is difficult to guard against him. The spies who followed him were also He shook it off."
"There is really no way," Li Chuan understood Zou Jingping's difficulty, and asked, "Did you send someone to find him?"
"No, "Zou Jingping shook his head and said, "I will just let people keep guarding there. After the situation here stabilizes, I will inform Mr. Tang about the matter and Mr. Tang will take a trip."
"I entered the secret passage and found complex runes appearing on the ground," Tang Su took over. "The Monster Hunting Division can only kill monsters. I didn't dare to go deep, and I was afraid that acting rashly would cause trouble, so I retreated. came out. I wrote down all the runes I saw. I wrote them from memory. There are probably many mistakes. "
With that said, Tang Su handed a few pieces of paper to Li Chuan.
After Li Chuan looked at it, he handed it to Wen Guying. Wen Guying gave it directly to Yao Shuang and said, "Sister Yao, have you seen similar runes?"
Yao Shuang read several pieces of paper carefully and said: "It is somewhat similar to the runes on the Heyuan Town Stone Platform. It is something from the demon clan."
Zou Jingping said again: "This is the current situation. . Dr. Li, what are you going to do next?"
Li Chuan hesitated.
The nunnery is a trap, but...
He said: "I want to go to the nunnery first."
Wen Guying said: "I also think I should go and check it out."
Li Chuan asked Tang Su: "Brother Tang, has there been any news from Master Wu Kong?"
Tang Su shook his head and said: "Not yet."
