desperate wild dog

The time soon came to the afternoon.

A team of cavalry appeared outside Wujiabao, and the leader was Zhu Xiucai.

After seeing them from a distance, the knights guarding the wall and upstairs hurried to inform Qin Shaoyou.

When Qin Shaoyou arrived, the cavalry had already arrived at Wujiabao.

In addition to Zhu Xiucai and the few warriors he took away, there was also an acquaintance of Qin Shaoyou in the team - Xu Zongqi.

Xue Qingshan sent his cronies, the general banner, and it seemed that he attached great importance to this case.

Looking at the people brought by Xu Zongqi, they are all new recruits who have been added to the Luocheng Town Demon Division in recent months.

Qin Shaoyou instantly understood what brother-in-law was thinking.

"It seems that my brother-in-law is also worried. I am afraid that some of the old people in Luocheng Town Yaosi have been bought by the Wu family. After they come, they will take the opportunity to cause trouble, hinder the investigation, and even destroy the evidence..."

Outside Wubao, Zhu Xiucai saw Qin Shaoyou and shouted loudly, "Sir, we are back!"

"Open the door."

Qin Shaoyou recovered from his meditation, turned his head to instruct Monk Ma, and immediately walked down the wall to meet Xu Zongqi, Zhu Xiucai and others.

The gate of Wu Fort opened quickly, and cavalry troops entered the fort one after another.

Qin Shaoyou first said "hard work" to Zhu Xiucai and a few wrestlers, and then bowed his hands to Xu Zongqi.

Xu Zongqi was very happy when he saw Qin Shaoyou, he grabbed him and said, "Mr. Xue asked me to tell you something - you did a good job, you are really a lucky general!"

After finishing the message, Xu Zongqi asked his men to hand over to Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and the others, and asked Zhu Youyi, the demon-suppressing secretary who came with the team, to check the situation of the sleeping caravan members and find a way to wake them up. .

Xu Zongqi himself pulled Qin Shaoyou to continue talking.

"Master Xue has just taken over the Luocheng City Demon Division, and he needs to make some achievements to prove himself, and he is also blocking the mouth of the villain. You brought him such a big case, he is very happy and praises you again and again. This time we We have to follow the vine and find out all the night watchmen and officials who have ties to the Wu family and eradicate them!"

Qin Shaoyou immediately understood.

Brother-in-law, this is to use the Wu family's case to stand up!

In addition to the night watchman who was bought by the Wu family, maybe he would take the opportunity to take down a group of people who didn't listen to him.

Qin Shaoyou has no interest in this kind of power struggle in the officialdom.

Xu Zongqi also saw it, so after a few simple chats to let Qin Shaoyou know the general situation, he ended the topic.

The two came to the handover scene.

Xu Zongqi asked as usual: "The people and property of the Wu family are all here? You have not cheated and let go of the people of the Wu family, and you are full of private pockets and greedy for the property of the Mo Wu family?"

"No, we're not that kind of people!"

Qin Shaoyou looked righteous.

Xu Zongqi nodded and didn't ask any further questions, just casually glanced at a few fighters under Qin Shaoyou's hand.

The wrestlers responded with smiles, but they smiled a little stiffly.

One of the wrestlers was a little nervous. After being watched by President Xu, he subconsciously covered his waist with his hands, as if he wanted to cover up something.

What he never expected was that when he put his hand on the belt, he pressed the thing hidden inside and fell to the ground.

In a piece of golden cake, the golden light shines brightly under the sunlight.

The wrestler, who knew that he was in trouble, broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, and hurriedly leaned over to pick up the fallen golden cake.

In the end, before the golden cake was picked up, two silver cakes fell out of his arms.

Lux froze for a moment, not daring to move any further.

The atmosphere immediately froze, and everyone was a little embarrassed.

It was Qin Shaoyou who reacted first, glared at the fighter, and pretended to be nothing and said:

"What are you still doing? Hurry up and pick up the money! After saving a little bit of savings, you're going to show it off, right?"

"Yes Yes."

Although he was scolded, the fighter was relieved, and quickly picked up the gold and silver cakes on the ground and stuffed them into his arms.

The colleague next to him also breathed a sigh of relief and whispered reproach: "How did you do it, so careless?"

Lux replied in a lower voice, "I don't want to either. Your lord gave me too much gold and silver, and I couldn't carry it in my sleeve or in my arms. After being glanced at by Xu Zongqi, my heart suddenly became nervous..."

Qin Shaoyou turned his head and explained to Mr. Xu with his face unchanged: "This warrior has worked for the Demon Suppression Division for many years. It's normal to have a little savings, right?"

"Yes, it's normal." Xu Zongqi laughed dryly.

In my heart, I was complaining: normal ass, do you think I don't know where these gold and silver come from? He is a wrestler, how could he have saved so much by just relying on his salary!

But Xu Zongqi did not expose Qin Shaoyou.

On the one hand, it is because of the relationship between Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan.

On the other hand, taking some money and goods into the pocket from the seizure is an unwritten rule.

Although the Great Xia Law clearly prohibits it, in fact, as long as it is not excessive, it is to turn one eye and close one eye, as if not seeing.

Not to mention Qin Shaoyou and the others, even he, Xu Zongqi, had to pass the hand before escorting the wealth of the Wu family back to Luocheng.

These warriors under Qin Shaoyou's hands have not done this kind of thing less often before, but this time they got a little more money, which made them feel nervous.

Seeing that the people he brought with him were almost handed over to Qin Shaoyou and the others, Mr. Xu waved his hands to chase them away.

"Okay, hurry up and leave, and leave the rest to us. If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach your destination before dark."

He was in such a hurry to chase people out, and he was also afraid that the unlucky fighter would continue to stay here, and he would make some other troubles and make everyone unable to step down.

Qin Shaoyou couldn't get what he wanted, so he cupped his hands and said: "Then let's go, the things here will be hard on Xu Zongqi."

Xu Zongqi bowed his hands in return: "It's not about hard work, it's all what you should do. I wish you a smooth journey and solve the case as soon as possible. After returning to Luocheng, I will invite you to drink."

This time, he got Qin Shaoyou's light, and he could get a lot of credit and oil, and he also wanted to have a relationship with Qin Shaoyou, so he took the initiative to show his love.

"Then first thank President Xu."

Qin Shaoyou naturally wouldn't reject the other party's good intentions, he complied with one bite, then got on his horse, took Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others out of Wujiabao, and galloped away in the direction of Mianyuan County.

They went very smoothly along the way, and there were no more accidents.

When we arrived at Mianyuan County, the sky was still bright, and the gate of the county was still open.

Compared with Luocheng, the city walls and city gates of Mianyuan County are much smaller, but there are quite a lot of dogs in and out of the city.

A team of soldiers stood guard at the city gate, checking the identity and luggage of those entering and leaving the city gate.

Seeing the arrival of Qin Shaoyou and others, this team of soldiers immediately became vigilant, because they were all burly and armed with weapons.

A strong man with the appearance of a leader, holding a knife in one hand, shouted and asked, "Stop and dismount! Who are you? What are you doing here in Mianyuan County?"

"We came from Luocheng to catch fast, and we were ordered to come to Mianyuan County on business."

Qin Shaoyou took out a waist badge and related official documents of Luocheng Chakuai from his luggage, and asked Zhu Xiucai to show it to the other party.

The identity of Zhu Kuai is their disguise this time.

It has the right to investigate the case, and it will not make the ghosts who steal children too alert.

After all, it's hard for ordinary hunters to deal with ghosts.

The head of the soldiers looked at the waist badge, and although he could not read the words on the official document, he carefully compared the official seal.

After confirming that it was correct, he returned these items to Zhu Xiucai, and while signaling his subordinates to let them go, he asked, "Going for business? Are you here to investigate the disappearance of children?"

"How did you know?" Qin Shaoyou put away his badge and official document and asked casually.

The soldier leader grinned.

"Why don't you ask? In the past two months in our Mianyuan County, apart from the case of the disappearance of children, what other cases are there worthy of the arrest of Fucheng?

But let me tell you, you can't find any clues when you come here.

Because this case was not done by human beings at all, but by demons, and it should be sent by the Demon Suppression Division! "

"The Town Demon Division is dealing with the Black Lotus Sect demons recently, and they can't get any people out for a while." Qin Shaoyou said half-truth, and then asked: "Have any children gone missing in the past two days?"

"Why not? Just last night, Zhang Shilang's grandson disappeared.

The county magistrate was called to Zhang Shilang's house late at night and scolded him with blood.

The county's arresters and night watchmen searched the whole night, causing chaos throughout the city, but in the end, they still found nothing. "

"Zhang Shilang's grandson is also missing?"

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help frowning, this is not good news.

When Qin Shaoyou and the others were about to enter the city, a strong man couldn't help but said, "Why are there so many dogs in Mianyuan County?"

"These are wild dogs," the city gate soldiers replied. "In the past few months, many wild dogs have come to our Mianyuan County, and even to the residents' homes, but they couldn't drive them away. Some people simply caught them. Dogs, kill and eat meat, it is said that it tastes very delicious."

"A wild dog?"

Qin Shaoyou raised his brows slightly, and cast his eyes on the dogs wandering around.

"what?"

After seeing it, he was a little surprised.

He actually saw despair and pain in the eyes of these wild dogs.

Will this dog... be desperate too?
