After experiencing a series of shocks, Linjiang City finally returned to a relatively stable order.
Because there is no airtight wall in this world, as time goes by, what happened that night in Linjiang Mansion Office gradually became known to everyone.
It was actually a master from the Demon Slayer Department who killed the prefect Song Jue and the captain Du Han.
As for the reason, it seems to be related to the disappearance cases in recent years.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar and became a hot spot in the city.
But at the same time, it also warned some people with evil intentions that there are still adults from the Demon Slayer Department in the city, so don't think about taking advantage of the chaos to cause any trouble.
A merchant ship slowly left the port.
Zhou You was wearing a black training uniform and was watching quietly from the dock. Lu Ming stood beside him.
At this time, a female silhouette appeared above the merchant ship, moving towards the parade with great gratitude.
"After the fallen leaves return to their roots, reincarnate as soon as possible. Maybe we will have a chance to meet again." Zhou You said with a smile.
His voice was very low, but he also knew that the actor in white could hear him.
Sure enough, the actor in white nodded slightly towards Zhou You and disappeared into the void.
"Sir, are you talking to me?" Lu Ming was stunned for a moment.
"No, I'm saying goodbye to others." Zhou You shook his head.
Lu Ming seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but tremble.
These days, Zhou You asked himself to investigate an actor dressed in white.
It was discovered that there was indeed an actor who died of illness in Linjiang City ten years ago and has been buried in the cemetery since then without anyone taking him away.
Later, Zhou You also dug up the ashes of the actor in white.
It took fifty taels to entrust a merchant ship that was heading to the hometown of the actor in white to bring the ashes of this lost man back to his hometown.
Originally, it was extremely unlucky to bring ashes with you, so the shipowner naturally wanted to refuse.
But Lu Ming had been living in Linjiang City for more than ten years, and after some hard work, the shipowner agreed.
Zhou You watched the merchant ship disappear from sight, then turned and left.
Logically speaking, this woman in white had deceived him before. If you had a character that always wanted revenge, you would have killed her long ago.
But later, the actor in white also provided him with key clues, allowing him to know the truth about the disappearance of his master Xu Ling, and the merits and demerits were equal to each other.
After confirming what the actor in white had said before, Zhou You simply gave it a ride.
As for why he did this, Zhou You didn't know.
Simply because he wanted to do it, he did it.
After all, human emotion is a very complex thing. It is impossible to describe it without a diode.
"By the way, sir." Lu Ming suddenly remembered something.
"Huang Yanyan's mother passed away quietly after learning that the real culprit in the disappearance case was buried."
Zhou You's leaving figure suddenly paused.
The woman who looked like a walking corpse when he came to Jiangcheng on the first day... died?
But this ending seems to have been doomed a long time ago.
Huang Yanyan is already dead. If she hadn't wanted to see the real murderer arrested, I'm afraid that woman would have ended her life long ago.
"This is a letter her neighbor found in the room. It should be given to adults."
Lu Ming took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zhou You.
Travel around to open it.
"Sir, when you read this letter, I should be no longer alive.
Please don't feel sad. Yanyan is gone and the real culprit was beheaded by you. My life in this world has no meaning at all.
But I still want to thank you, sir, for being your master.
It is your appearance that allows me to see a glimmer of light in this extremely dark world."
Tsk~
Zhou You input the Nine Yang inner energy, and the letter burned instantly.
"farewell...."
He muttered to himself.
The Demon Slayer freezes his heart because he has seen too many misfortunes.
This will allow the sadness to come.
Not that obvious.
In this world, there are many people as unfortunate as Huang and her daughter.
And these misfortunes will never stop.
Some are because of the treacherous nature of demons.
Some of it is because of people's hearts...
Human desires are sometimes much more cunning and evil than monsters.
Sometimes when traveling around, I even feel that the human heart is more terrifying than weird.
Later he discovered that he seemed to have thought wrong.
Weirdness is actually just another product of the human heart.
.......
Wait until Zhou You and Lu Ming are preparing to enter the government office.
The clear and orderly sound of iron hoofbeats came from the street entrance.
Looking back around.
Seeing smoke and dust rising all over the street, the people on the street were frightened by the clatter of iron hoofs and hid on both sides.
Fifty cavalrymen covered in iron armor and black iron helmets, even their crotch mounts were covered in cold armor, surged in like a torrent of steel.
The leading cavalryman also carried a large black flag.
There is a lifelike and ferocious black python painted on it, with its fangs spread out and its vertical pupils cold, as if it wants to choose people to devour.
In the hands of these cavalrymen is a two-meter-long heavy spear. The exaggerated length gives people an extremely suffocating sense of oppression.
The sinister aura surged out overwhelmingly, as if even the air was frozen.
The people on both sides of the street were trembling with fear.
"Hiss...the Black Xuan Army's python heavy cavalry..." Lu Ming was well-informed and could recognize the origins of these heavy cavalry at a glance.
The Big Python Heavy Cavalry is the elite among the elite within the Black Mysterious Army. It is said that at worst, a warrior at the physical training level is required to enter, and the number has never exceeded 300.
At this moment, a total of fifty heavy python riders arrived.
It can be seen that Du Guangyao really wants to put Zhou You to death, and he must be brought back to Qingzhou City to face trial.
lulu lulu~
Fifty cavalrymen stopped in an open space thirty meters in front of the parade in an orderly manner.
Under the dark iron helmet, fifty pairs of cold eyes stared at Zhou You tightly, as sharp as knives.
A chilling air filled the air.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the people around him all fled.
Lu Ming was also afraid that the city would catch fire and harm Chi Yu, so he hid in the government office.
This government office is still in ruins, so we can only hide behind the ruins.
For a while, the street was filled with cold and dead silence, without any sound, and it was eerie and permeable.
When Zhou You faced these fifty heavy cavalry, his expression remained unchanged.
"Rubbish."
Suddenly, two words popped out of Zhou You's mouth.
Lu Ming, who was hiding behind, heard this and smiled bitterly.
I am afraid that only this fierce man can dare to say harsh words under such circumstances.
"Are you looking for death?" The leading cavalryman holding a black python flag made a solemn voice.
"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood."
Zhou You shook his head and grinned, showing his white teeth.
