Chapter 72 Doors

Not long after walking, Zhou You saw a restaurant named Mingzhu Building.

Cold and cheerless on the street, the sound of the restaurant is naturally not much better. Even when it was time for dinner, there were only a few people in the hall, and Xiao Er was swatting flies in a bored way.

Seeing Zhou You walk in, the frowning shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him: “This guest, do you want to stay in a restaurant or eat?”

“Both.” Zhou You took out at will Out a piece of silver and put it in the hands of the shopkeeper.

As a demon slayer, I have no idea about this thing.

For example Zhou You, as an intermediate level demon slayer, his monthly salary is fifty taels.

Don’t think this number is small.

Because demon slayers use very little silver, Martial Arts Secret Book, spirit pill and marvelous medicine are all exchanged for contribution points, and silver is of little use to them.

And the monthly salary of an ordinary county magistrate is only 32 taels.

Of course, this is revenue on the surface.

Three years of Qing prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver.

This is vividly and thoroughly reflected in Song Jue, the prefect of Linjiang.

The shopkeeper’s face burst into a smile, and he personally greeted Zhou You to sit down and wiped the table for him.

It can be seen from his performance how bad the restaurant’s business is these days.

“Shopkeeper, this is the first time I’ve come to your Huai County. Why do I feel so deserted and unpopular.” Zhou You asked casually.

The shopkeeper looked at Zhou You’s previous piece of silver and said in a low voice: “Guest doesn’t know anything, some very strange things have happened in Huai County these days. People were alarmed, everyone. I don’t want to go out anymore.”

“What’s the matter?” Zhou You came to be interested.

“Not long ago, did you know Zeng Feng, the magistrate of our county, committed suicide very late at night in the backyard of the county government office. I heard that all the internal organs were hollowed out, but no one has explained it yet.”

“I don’t even know the world, how did it become like this.”

“Young Master, you should go out less at night, pay attention to safety.”

shopkeeper Kindly said.

“so that’s how it is.” Zhou You nodded slightly.

After the shopkeeper went down, Zhou You frowned.

He didn’t expect that this county would be so wind and rain caused by Zeng Feng’s hanging, everyone was in danger.

What the hell is going on in Huai County

Why do you focus on Zeng Feng, the county magistrate?

Zhou You tapped his fingers lightly on the table, lost in thought.

The next day.

Huai County Government Office.

The official Ma County Magistrate wore a red official robe, looked at the mountains of documents in front of him, shook his head and sighed.

“Master Tang, this is really a mistake. I thought I would happily buy a county magistrate to come back and become an official, didn’t expect that the magistrate was violent death, and he died. It’s so terrifying!”

“No wonder the bastards from the Ministry of Personnel also solemnly vowed to give me a 20% discount!”

“There’s no such thing as a free lunch!”

“I passed through that small village when I came here. If I hadn’t met that hero, I’m afraid I would have given my hundreds of pounds of meat to it.”

Ma County Ling chattered and sighed: “I think it’s not appropriate to stay here for a long time, it’s too violent.”

He wanted to come to Huai County to make money when he became an official. After all, this place is not cheap.

But after knowing what happened here, my intestines are all regretful.

Ma county magistrate is now afraid of earning money with his own life, and not having the life to spend it.

The thought of leaving immediately came to my mind.

This buyer is a waste of money, but you can’t let your own life be discounted, or the business will lose a lot of money.

Master Tang frowned and said in deep thought, “If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, this place really shouldn’t be here.”

It’s hard to get along with a master. , He didn’t want to give up so easily, but Huai County was too dangerous, and even the magistrate could die in the backyard of the county government.

“Yes, keep the green hills so that you won’t be afraid of running out of firewood. We will wait for the people who will open the county government office next, and leave immediately!” Ma county magistrate takes his own life very seriously.

At this time, a yamen hurriedly walked in.

“Ma County magistrate, there is an adult from the Demon Eliminating Department outside the door to ask to see you!”

“The Demon Eliminating Department is here?” His eyes gleamed instantly.

“It’s just outside the door now.” The yamen nodded and said.

“Go and invite the adults from the Demon Eliminating Department!” Master Tang quickly instructed.

The yamen was ordered to retire.

“Master Tang, the people from the Demon Eliminating Department are here. Shall we wait a little longer?” Ma County Magistrate’s original idea of resolutely leaving has changed a little.

Master Tang also agreed: “This Demon Eliminating Department specializes in dealing with those strange and strange things. Every demon slayer is a powerful and very ruthless generation. With him in charge, those demons must be treacherous. We don’t dare to be so rampant, our safety can still be guaranteed.”

“It makes sense, just observe the situation first.”

Everyone is a lucky creature. When there is a glimmer of hope, no one wants to give up what they have worked so hard to get.

Soon, a silhouette with a majestic appearance walked into the courtroom.

“Master, why are you?” Ma County Magistrate saw the person coming and couldn’t help creding out in surprise.

Zhou You smiled slightly: “Master Ma, I said we would meet again.”

Master Tang showed a thoughtful look.

He remembered that in that strange mountain village the night before, Zhou You was so calm, yet his methods were so fierce and bloody.

After knowing that Zhou You is a demon slayer, there is no sense of disobedience.

“That night in a small mountain village, it was not a coincidence that we met?” Ma County Magistrate understood.

Zhou You didn’t answer, just laughed.

His expression revealed the answer.

“It’s very dangerous. Fortunately, the hero has come to the door before he left. If he slips away and finds himself again, it is not with no difficulty that he is caught by his means, and when the time comes, he will It’s miserable.” Ma County magistrate was a little fortunate in his heart.

“By the way, I don’t know the adult’s name yet.” Master Tang cupped his hands.

Zhou You said with a smile: “Demon Eliminating Department, Zhou You.”

“Master Zhou, I think you know the situation in Huai County, and my life is safe. But I’ll leave it to you.” Ma County Magistrate looked solemn.

Zhou You returned to the topic: “I came here today to investigate the death of the former magistrate Zeng Feng.” I’m afraid you have to ask the original Constable of the county government office.”

After saying that, he gave Master Tang a look.

Master Tang understood, walked out of the court, and brought a lean and capable man in not long after.

“This is the Constable of the county government office, Pang Chaopang Constable!”

The man also salutes Zhou You cup one fist in the other hand: “See you Mr. Zhou.”

Zhou You didn’t talk nonsense: “Is Magistrate Zeng’s body still there?”

Pang Constable shook his head and said, “It has been too long since Magistrate Zeng died. , coupled with the hot weather, the corpse stinks and rots, and it was cremated five days ago.”
