Monk Ma opened his mouth, wanting to answer Qin Shaoyou's question, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.
Zhu Xiucai sighed quietly and answered for him: "Sir, Lao Wei and Lao Yao died in the battle."
"Dead in battle?"
Qin Shaoyou was shocked.
Although he had already guessed this possibility before seeing Wei Lishi and Yao Lishi, he still took a chance and wondered if the two of them were sent to perform some mission, so they were not here.
Unfortunately, this luck was broken.
Everyone was very sad about the deaths of Wei Lishi and Yao Lishi, and Qin Shaoyou was no exception.
Although he and the two warriors had only known each other for a few days, they had experienced several dangers and fights together, and they could be regarded as brothers who lived and died together.
Especially thinking about these two people, who were still alive and kicking just a few hours ago.
One said he would use the money seized in Wujiapu to buy a house in Luocheng to settle his wife and children.
Another said that he should take the money back to honor his old mother.
But now, the two of them are forever separated from their wives, children, and mother...
Qin Shaoyou felt really uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
"How did they die?" Qin Shaoyou asked, his voice a little hoarse and choked.
"Old Wei died to protect the children. Weren't there corpse puppets rushing towards the children at that time, trying to hurt them? Old Wei went to drive away the corpse puppets, but was attacked by a demon from the Black Lotus Sect, and then he was swarmed by the corpse puppets...
At that time, we wanted to rescue him, but we were blocked by other Black Lotus Sect demons and corpse puppets, and we couldn't get through...
When Lao Wei died, he still opened his arms to protect the children in the iron cage..."
As for how Lao Yao died in battle, I have not seen it.
However, colleagues who collected his body said that when they found Lao Yao's body, there were several corpses lying around him.
So Lao Yao should have died fighting hard!
After his death, Lao Yao still held the knife in his hand very tightly..."
After hearing the cause of death of Wei Lishi and Yao Lishi, Qin Shaoyou wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but no sound came out.
After being silent for a while, he sighed: "They are all good men!"
At this moment, Qin Shaoyou recalled Xue Qingshan's introduction to the warriors.
The performance of the two warriors Liao and Yao is indeed worthy of the evaluation of being "brave and good at fighting".
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou asked again: "Where are the remains of Old Wei and Old Yao? Is it in the side hall of the City God's Temple?"
"Yes." Zhu Xiucai nodded, "The bodies of our brothers who died in the battle this time are all parked there. We will send people to return them to their families later. If there are no family members, they will be taken to the Demon Suppression Division for burial.
.”
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while and said: "In that case, let us send the bodies of Old Wei and Old Yao home... It can also be regarded as a farewell to the two Pao Ze brothers."
No one refused this proposal.
After all, everyone hopes that if they die, someone familiar can take their body home, say a few words of comfort to their relatives, and give them all their pensions and their savings.
family.
In this chaotic world, in the Demon Suppression Division with the highest reincarnation rate.
Death can really come at any time.
After Qin Shaoyou finished speaking, no one spoke again, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing for a time.
Zhu Xiucai noticed this situation and found a topic, hoping to restore everyone's mood a little.
"Sir, you still don't know, right? Our Lord Xue and Zhang Shilang really got some clues from the mouths of those Black Lotus Sect monsters. Now they have sent a lot of people to Mianyuan County.
They are searching for their accomplices."
Qin Shaoyou saw Zhu Xiucai's intention and cooperated: "No wonder I saw a lot of night watchmen arresting people on the way back... Hey, among the accomplices of these Black Lotus cult monsters, are there any big ones?
fish?"
"There is really a big fish."
Zhu Xiucai looked around and lowered his voice and said: "In the official office of Mianyuan County, there is a mole from the Black Lotus Sect... Guess who this mole is?"
Monk Ma and other warriors only knew that Xue Qingshan sent many night watchmen to arrest people, but they did not know that they had actually found out the mole hiding in the county government office. They couldn't help but be curious and asked:
"who is it?"
"Xiucai, please stop being so secretive. Only you can find out this kind of news. Where can we find out?"
"Zhu Xianyou, tell me quickly, who is the ghost?"
Zhu Xiucai first gave up: "Counting the time, this mole should have been caught. Let me tell you, it is not a leak."
Then he whispered under the urging of everyone: "Actually, we have all seen this person..."
Seeing that he was still showing off, Monk Ma raised his fist as big as a casserole.
Zhu Xiucai was instantly obedient: "It's Sun Zhixian!"
"who?"
"What?"
"It's actually him?"
"Good guy, the parents of Mianyuan County are actually with the Black Lotus Sect?"
"It's a shame that he acted in front of the people about loving the people like his own children... Thinking about it now, it's really ironic!"
Everyone was either amazed or filled with indignation.
Zhu Xiucai also lamented: "No wonder Sun Zhixian couldn't wait to announce the closure of the case after the strange painting incident. At that time, I just thought that he wanted to close the case quickly to relieve the pressure. Now I know that he was basically helping fellow Black Lotus Sect members.
The party is covering up and preparing for their next plan... This magistrate of Sun County is really reading the books of sages in vain!"
Qin Shaoyou was also surprised.
Although he guessed that there was a mole from the Black Lotus Sect hiding in the official government of Mianyuan County, he did not expect that this mole was actually the lord of the county!
But looking back, I can see that it took more than two months for the case of a missing child to be reported to the government. This kind of energy is indeed not something that ordinary officials can have.
After all, there is still Zhang Shilang in Mianyuan County.
If the traitor in the Black Lotus Sect was just an ordinary official, he would not be able to suppress this case at all.
Even in another county, the magistrate would have asked the government for support not long after the missing child case broke out. Even if he got a low-level performance appraisal for this, it would be better than losing Zhang Shilang's grandson and offending Zhang Shilang.
.
It's a pity that these doubtful points were not seen earlier.
It's also because he doesn't have enough experience.
Qin Shaoyou was sighing with emotion when Su Tingyu suddenly came to his side and kept sniffing.
She didn't know Magistrate Sun, and she wasn't interested in who was the mole in the Mianyuan County government office. However, it was the evil smell on Qin Shaoyou's body that attracted her attention and curiosity.
Qin Shaoyou was a little confused by her actions. He backed away and asked, "You...what are you going to do?"
The eyes of Zhu Xiucai and others were attracted one after another. Although no one dared to boo, everyone had an expression of gloating that they had seen a good show.
Su Tingyu didn't notice this scene...after all, with her short-sighted eyes, it was impossible to notice it.
She raised her finger and pointed at Qin Shaoyou's waist: "What are you pretending to be here?"
"Um?"
Qin Shaoyou was surprised: What is your problem?
Then he discovered that Su Tingyu was referring to the linen tied around his waist, which contained the spider arms of the Eight-Armed Arhat.
Thinking of Su Tingyu's miraculous sense of smell and her preferences that were 'the same' as his, Qin Shaoyou immediately understood what she meant.
He hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Shh, don't make any noise, I'll give you a share."
When Su Tingyu saw that Qin Shaoyou was going to give her 'experimental materials', she was very happy in her heart, but she said: "No need, I can smell it and know it is of no value. What I want has already been obtained."
…Do you want to share some between you?”
She also spoke in a very low voice this time.
Zhu Xiucai and others next to him tried their best to eavesdrop, but they only listened intermittently and had no idea what the two were discussing.
"No need." Qin Shaoyou thought for a moment and declined.
There was no recipe, and it was useless for him to get the ingredients. He had better let Su Tingyu eat them by herself.
However, he was still a little curious in his heart: What kind of good ingredients did Master Xiao Su get? Wasn't the Painted Skin Ghost captured alive?
Su Tingyu was also wondering: Why did Qin Xiaoqi study this material that didn't smell good? Is there something special about this material that I couldn't smell?
Well, not only Zhu Xiucai and the others didn't know what the two were talking about, but they themselves didn't know very well either...
Su Jianqing had a gloomy face and flew between the two of them: "What are you two doing so close to each other? Stay apart!"
Then, she glared at Qin Shaoyou with a fierce and cute look.
Qin Shaoyou was helplessly stared at by her: Can you blame me for this? It was obviously your sister who got it together!
He was about to defend himself when a commotion suddenly came from beside him, interrupting his unspoken words.
