Talk about the world of mortals in detail

However, Chu Hang was a little out of touch. To be on the safe side, Yi Shuyuan nodded and added.

"As long as Brother Chu has not committed any crime, Yi will not let Mr. Wu know about it."

"Mr. Yi is too worried, how could I do that kind of thing!"

Chu Hang quickly denied it to avoid misunderstanding on the other side. After thinking about it for a while, he spoke again.

"Mr. Yi, you are very human. Since you can see ghosts and gods, you must also believe that there are many fairies and monsters in this world, right?"

Yi Shuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Not only did he believe it, he had also experienced it personally.

"Brother Chu, please continue."

Seeing that Yi Shuyuan did not refute, Chu Hang felt reassured, nodded and continued.

"Mr. Yi, I told my parents about this when I was a child. No one believed me at first. Although I later hired some mages to do it, they were just people seeking fame and reputation and had no real ability at all. I have grown old these years. I am willing to go home because of this."

"Oh? Is it possible that there are monsters in your home?"

Yi Shuyuan became interested, while Chu Hang had a complicated expression.

"If it's a monster, it doesn't look like it. After all, monsters all want to eat people. From childhood to adulthood, from ignorance to sensible, no one in my family has been eaten. In other words, no one has even felt it except me. weird."

"Not all monsters eat humans. It rained heavily in the mountains that day. Did Mr. Chu forget about the tea shed?"

Yi Shuyuan said this with a smile, and Chu Hang suddenly felt enlightened and nodded, secretly thinking that he had indeed encountered a monster that day, but it was hard to say that it was not because of the presence of Mr. Yi in front of him that he was fine. Of course, he would not Refuting Yi Shuyuan.

"Sir, you are right! The situation in my family is somewhat special. Since I was seven years old, I have often had nightmares at home. There is a monster whose appearance I cannot see clearly, and it often comes to me in my dreams."

Yi Shuyuan frowned slightly, but Chu Hang had obviously entered a state of recall, and there was a hint of horror in his words.

"The shape of the monster is vague and difficult to change. Sometimes it looks like a beast and sometimes it looks like a human. From time to time it collapses into smoke and gathers again. Every time it appears, it is accompanied by a shrill howl, and then it whines and says some words that I don't understand at all. It’s extremely scary.”

"Then what?"

Yi Shuyuan asked, waiting for Chu Hang's next words.

"There is no more. If there had been then, how could I be sitting here now? Oh, one of the mage who came to my house to perform rituals may have some skills. Although he also assured my father that nothing happened at home, but Seeing that I was really scared, he secretly told me in private that if he was really scared, he should try to stay at home less."

After hearing this, Yi Shuyuan understood. No wonder Chu Hang said that he was half Yuanjiang County. It turned out that since he was thirteen years old, he had spent most of his time either living with his uncle Wu Minggao's house or in Yuezhou.

"Mr. Yi, in your opinion, what kind of monster was in my dream?"

Yi Shuyuan didn't know either, so he could only tell the truth and comfort Chu Hangdao.

"I've never seen it, and I can't say what it is, but from what Brother Chu described, it seems that even if it is really a monster, it doesn't look like it wants to harm you. At least it doesn't have that ability. It's more like..."

Yi Shuyuan didn't know if it was strange to say this, but hearing Chu Hang's description gave him this feeling.

"More like asking for something."

"beg me?"

Chu Hang's eyes widened and he felt a little angry.

"I begged it to stop scaring me. I've been begging it for several years, and it's getting worse!"

"Um?"

Yi Shuyuan's heart moved and he suddenly smiled.

"Brother Chu, when was the first time you asked it not to scare you? It couldn't be when you were seven years old, right?"

Chu Hang frowned and thought hard for a while.

"This, it's been too long, and that time was small. I forgot the specific time, but it was probably that time. Huh? To put it this way, the nightmares were not too many before this."

Having said this, Chu Hang paused and looked at Yi Shuyuan with sudden realization.

"Mr. Yi, are you saying that just because I begged it, it knew that I could dream of it and hear it, so it kept coming to scare me in my dreams?"

Have you been here to beg you?

Yi Shuyuan did not say anything, but nodded.

"It is possible, but it cannot be confirmed yet. If there is a chance one day, Yi will go to your home with you to find out the truth."

Chu Hang was overjoyed when he heard this.

"That's great! Sir, when do we leave?"

"I can't go now, not to mention that the case at hand is not over yet. Even if the case is over, Yi must at least compile the county annals."

When he thought of his uncle Wu Minggao's angry appearance, Chu Hang immediately calmed down.

"Yes, yes, you can't rush it! Come on, have a drink!"

Chu Hang stood up and poured wine for Yi Shuyuan, but Yi Shuyuan looked towards the distance on the street.

Not long after, there was the sound of horse hooves and a burst of footsteps from far to near. A large group of people came from the south of the city. Some were riding horses, others were leading horses, and there were soldiers clearing the way.

Chu Hang also followed Yi Shuyuan's line of sight and soon saw this group of approaching people.

"People from the imperial court?"

"Brother Chu, you can continue to eat here. Yi must go back to the county office quickly."

Yi Shuyuan stood up. For this battle, the county magistrate would definitely order someone to beat drums to summon everyone. It would not be good if he was not around.

"Hey, I have to go take a look too!"

Chu Hang stood up and followed Yi Shuyuan, and the two of them hurried downstairs, paid the bill at the counter, and then walked to the county government office together.

Sure enough, not long after, the drums of the Yamen started to sound.

"Dong dong dong dong."

Amidst the sound of drums, most people in the county government office ran towards the court, and some people even came to watch from outside the county government office.

When Yi Shuyuan and Chu Hang walked to the government hall together, many people from the county government were already here. Although Chu Hang was not from the county government, everyone around him knew who he was, and no one would reveal it.

Most of the officials were standing outside the hall. Only a few officials and speakers from each class were on the other side of the court. A military attache with a sword on his waist and a civil servant with a sword hanging on his waist stood in front of the public case.

Seeing that everyone was here, the civil servant unfolded the silk scroll in his hand.

"I, Shao Ying, Jun Ming: The Jia family case in Yuanjiang County is a serious case with far-reaching implications. Starting today, the Third Division will send inspectors to take over. The Yuanjiang County Yamen will judge the case impartially and handle it appropriately. After the case is concluded, a reward will be given. I hereby-- "

The four officials of Yuanjiang County headed by Lin Xiu and other officials did not need to kneel down and accepted their orders one after another.

"I accept the order and thank you!"

With this imperial edict, Lin Xiu and others were relieved, and their tense nerves finally relaxed. At least this meant that the emperor was aware of it, and they would no longer be fighting alone.

Yi Shuyuan stood outside the hall and curled his lips. It was really boring. He originally wanted to stand inside and feel the atmosphere up close, but he didn't expect that he was not qualified to go in.

After the civil servant read out the imperial edict, he was also very polite and said with a smile.

"Master Lin, please take me to see where Jia Yuntong and Yigan suspects are, right?"

"Yes, adults, please follow me!"

The group of people walked out of the courtroom and soon came to the dungeon. Some of Jia Yuntong's former servants were locked up on the outside. The felon area inside was locked up with a few gangsters. In the innermost room, Jia Yuntong was like a frightened bird.

——

Earlier in Wuzhou City, court officials also arrived, and many armored men entered the city.

However, these armored men did not go to the Wuzhou government office first. Instead, they divided into several groups and rushed to the rudder ports of the Sky Whale Gang under the leadership of several military attaches.

A group of menacing soldiers rushed over, and some even rode on horses. Pedestrians on the street fled in panic.

"Get out of the way, let the court arrest the imperial criminal——"

"Get out of the way of all the other people—"

"Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap."

The soldiers approached in clusters of footsteps, and their rifles pointed at a three-story pavilion that occupied a large area.

"What's going on? This is the chief helmsman of the Sky Whale Gang. Commanders, is there any misunderstanding?"

The leading military attache, who was on horseback behind a group of soldiers, looked coldly at the few Jianghu people who came out in front of him and looked uneasy.

"Huh, misunderstanding? Under the orders of the imperial court, the Tianjing Gang coerced and instigated officials to get involved in the salt trade, and even used witchcraft to persecute the imperial officials. This was a conspiracy against the traitors. All the soldiers obeyed the order and marched forward with their troops. Fan Tianjing Gang helped Everyone, shoot without mercy——"

"Take orders——"

The soldiers shouted in unison and moved forward with their swords in hand.

This kind of treatment is obviously at a time when people in the world are becoming more and more unruly. The court is using the Tianjing Gang to scare the monkeys, and even pours a lot of dirty water on the Tianjing Gang.

Countless armored soldiers rushed into the building, shouting for a while. Even warriors, if their skills have not reached a certain level, are invincible against armored men who are familiar with battle formations. Ordinary gang members are even more overwhelmed. Ground massacre.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"

Soldiers were knocked away upstairs, and some people jumped out of the roof to escape. As a result, dozens or hundreds of powerful crossbows that had been waiting around them were fired.

"ding ding ding"

"Puff puff".

"Uh-" "Ah"

Even though he had light skills and weapons to block, he was shot into a hedgehog amidst screams after just a few "ding ding" sounds.

The military attache leading the army didn't even need to take action himself. His soldiers and a few adjutants had already wiped out the helm here. But he squinted at the building and felt that the so-called chief helm seemed to have too few experts. , it is understood that this is not a small and unpopular faction.

Every part of the Tianjing Gang was facing annihilation. Civil and military officials and soldiers also came to the Wuzhou Tongxuan Mansion. A group of soldiers rushed into the mansion, making the people inside scream and scream.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone ran to the front yard of Tongxuan Mansion and said to the waiting officials.

"Sir, everyone in this house said that Teng Jingcai disappeared a few days ago, and some valuables disappeared with him."

"Ran?"

The two civil and military officials here looked at each other with wide eyes. How could they explain this to the emperor? After being stunned, there is anger.

"First, take all the relatives of Teng Jingcai into custody, send four teams of people to search along the four city gates, and order all counties in Wuzhou to send people to assist in the search. From now on, Wuzhou will strictly inspect the roads and issue a notice to arrest Teng Jingcai!"

"As you command!"

Although the Wuzhou governor who accompanied him had a higher official rank than the inspector, he was a little trembling at the moment and did not dare to say a word.
