Ruins of the past

Chapter 79 Taking the blame

"I'm Li Changqing, the Demon Division Qianhu of Xiatianwei Town." The big man cupped his hands and showed an awkward smile: "I have been specifically investigating the corpse mutiny case. Please cooperate with me."

The Demon Suppression Department is a secret service agency that is directly responsible to the emperor and specializes in investigating demons and cults.

As long as all officials, soldiers, and court agencies are involved in demons and cults, they will be under the control of the Demon Suppression Division. They can even arrest royal family members and conduct secret interrogations without interference from local officials.

In order to resist demons and cults and monitor all officials, the Demon-Suppressing Division gradually became an organization that made all officials in the court change their minds, and it also gradually became a knife in the hands of the emperor.

The officials they targeted would almost die but still shed a layer of their skin.

Wu Wei boldly said: "What does the corpse mutiny case have to do with us? Even if you are the Demon Suppressor, you can't frame it randomly."

Li Changqing sneered, and his cold eyes swept over everyone present with murderous intent: "In this demon salary case in Qingyang County, a scholar who took the lead in making trouble turned into a living corpse. Apparently, he was also the target of a demon from the Immortal Way. Because. Now the corpse mutilation case and the demon pay case have been merged into one case, and they are also under the jurisdiction of our company. "

After hearing what the other party said, Chu Qiguang didn't expect that the case of mutiny would also be involved in the case of monster pay, so he even attracted the Demon Suppressing Department.

Everyone present was also surprised when Li Changqing continued to say: "As far as I know, your Wu family, Hao family and Ding family are all closely related to the demon salary riot in Qingyang County, so we must pay attention to it. I have ordered people to arrest all the people who are taking the lead in making trouble among the monsters, and then I will search several Zhuangzi."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands in the direction of Shenjing: "I have been ordered by Your Majesty to inspect demons, demons, and destroy cults and obscene rituals. I have the power to search hundreds of officials. I have always done my best and dare not make any mistakes. Please ask me a few more Please cooperate with me and don't make it difficult for me."

Following Li Changqing's words, the energy and blood in the other party's body also began to stir. A surging heat wave surged from Li Changqing's body, like a big furnace appearing in front of everyone, making their mouths dry with heat, showing... Incomparably powerful energy and blood power.

Chu Qiguang thought to himself: 'According to Qiao Zhi, this is the pinnacle of the fifth realm, the ultimate power of human qi and blood. One person from this Qianhu family can kill us all...'

Li Changqing waved his hand in front of him, and his soldiers scattered in all directions and began to search like wolves and tigers.

Facing Li Changqing's arrogant appearance, the people from the three families present dared not speak out in anger, and could only wait silently for them to search and leave.

After a while, all kinds of yelling, screaming, and wailing sounds came from the entire Hao family manor, which made Hao Wen angry and scared.

After all searches were completed, the soldiers found Li Changqing and made a report. They also pulled out several carts of account books, collections, and books...

Li Changqing picked up a book and flipped through it, then ordered: "Check them all on the spot, book by book, and don't let go of any clues about a demon or a cult."

Fortunately, wealthy families like the Hao family usually take precautions, and there is no evidence of power-for-money transactions or tax evasion left at home.

The search lasted from morning until late at night, but no clues about monsters or cults were ever found, so Li Changqing led the team away with a look of dissatisfaction.

When Hao Wen and others returned to the side hall, Wu Wei smashed the tea cup and cursed: "A bunch of barbarians!"

In the hall at this moment, the faces of Wu Wei, Hao Wen and others were not very good-looking.

After Hao Wenping withdrew all the servants, he said in a panic: "What should we do now? How could the demon's salary this time be related to the immortal way?"

In the Han Dynasty, those who colluded with evil cults would have their homes confiscated, so Hao Wen couldn't help but feel nervous.

Listening to Hao Wen's words, the faces of everyone present became even more ugly. If they were really framed for colluding with demons, then they would have to shed their skins even if they didn't die.

What's more, none of them have a bad debt under their butts, and none of them can withstand the investigation of the Demon Suppression Division.

Wu Wei sighed: "These monsters from the Immortal Way don't come early or late, so why are they involved in the monster pay?"

Hao Yongtai suggested: "Why don't you give some money to the Demon Suppressor Qianhu?"

"Silver is a natural fortress." Wu Wei said: "But I am afraid that they are not good-natured and will not do anything even after receiving the money."

Hao Fulai came to Butler Hao and said dissatisfiedly: "Chu Qiguang, it's all you who caused the big disaster. If you hadn't instigated it, how could I trust others and arrange for people to cause trouble with monsters? Now the monsters are mixed in." The demons of the Immortal Way have also attracted the Demon Suppressing Division. When the time comes, it will be a minor matter for us to retreat from the land, but the big thing will be if it affects Mr. Ge's strategy for China."

Hao Wenlai said righteously: "You are right. The land in our hands is not a big deal, but the key is that we are afraid of Mr. Wu Ge's face being beaten. Mr. Wu's reputation is related to the overall situation of the world and the well-being of hundreds of millions of people, and must not be allowed to The Demon Suppression Department continues to investigate."

Wu Wei said with a righteous face: "My dear brother is right. These barbarians from the Demon Suppressing Division are always trying to frame loyal ministers and assassinate virtuous ministers. We must not let them influence my father's political policies."

Chu Qiguang stopped and laughed secretly in his heart. These two prodigal sons said so high-sounding things. In the end, they were doing it for their own property and money. They were afraid that their affairs would be discovered by the Demon Suppressing Division, and that the pile of rubbish under their butts would be the same. Things... I'm afraid many of them are hidden from Mr. Ge.

Hao Fulai looked at Hao Wen and Wu Wei, bowed sincerely and said, "Sir! Up to now, Chu Qiguang can only handle this matter alone. He will go to the county government and admit that he made trouble and fabricated lyrics. Tell the truth and intimidate the people..."

Hao Wen on the side sighed. Although he said nothing, he couldn't help but complain about Chu Qiguang in his heart, and he was also a little moved by Hao Fulai's statement.

After all, people always like to blame others for their mistakes, and wealthy families like them are no exception. It is a common practice for the master to make mistakes and the servants to take the blame.

Wu Wei even nodded: "It is true that we can't ask the Demon Suppressing Division to continue checking the demon pay."

Seeing that Hao Fulai was about to punish himself, Chu Qiguang said: "Everyone, things have not reached the worst point yet. The Demon Suppressor was only attracted by the immortal way, we just need to prove our innocence."

Hao Fulai interrupted: "You still want to quibble? How can you prove your innocence? Sir, I think we should just kidnap this monster to the county government..."

Chu Qiguang said quietly: "Steward Hao, is the house on Zishi Street comfortable?"

Hearing Chu Qiguang's words, Hao Fulai's eyes immediately flashed with panic, and he immediately said: "What did you say? I don't understand."

Chu Qiguang said lightly: "You don't remember the real estate you asked your distant nephew to take over? You have no memory of the women and money in the house? This was given to you by the master of Hezhi County. How can you forget it?" What’s up?”

Hearing this, cold sweat formed on Hao Fulai's head, and his whole body seemed to be wrapped in fear.
