When we returned to Yaosi in Luocheng Town, it was indeed almost evening.
Qin Shaoyou asked Zhu Xiucai to hand over the escort task and archive the results.
He, Monk Ma and other men moved the bodies of the two strong men Wei and Yao into the house and put them there.
I just wait until early tomorrow morning to send them both home.
Inside the room, the light is dark and the temperature is cold.
In such an environment, Qin Shaoyou felt sad again when looking at the bodies of Wei and Yao.
When they set out from Yaosi in Luocheng Town, these two people were still in high spirits. When they returned just a few days later, they could only lie in the room covered with linen.
Qin Shaoyou lit six incense sticks and two pairs of wax. After paying homage to the two powerful men Wei and Yao, he inserted them into the incense burner in his room and muttered: "Have a good journey. If there is anything we need to do, just tell me in my dream."
us."
Monk Ma stood beside him, clasped his hands and recited the rebirth mantra in a low voice.
The few strong men who came in to help were used to seeing life and death.
They bowed to the corpses of Wei and Yao with their hands clasped together, then turned around and said half-jokingly to Qin Shaoyou: "Sir, if we die in the future, don't light any scented wax, we are not interested in this stuff.
Just put some wine and meat in front of our coffins, so that we can have wine to drink and meat to eat on the road to Huangquan."
Qin Shaoyou rolled his eyes at these warriors and said angrily: "Can you say something auspicious? Do you insist on planting flags on yourself and turning yourself into an old general on the stage?"
Several strong men were not angry even after being scolded, they just laughed.
Qin Shaoyou shook his head, took out a handful of copper coins from his arms, handed it into the hand of one of the strong men, and ordered: "Go and buy some wine and meat, so that Old Wei and Old Yao can have something to eat down below."
"Okay, sir, I'll go right away." Lux nodded and responded, then turned around and left the room to buy wine and meat.
Qin Shaoyou also left his room, went to find his colleagues responsible for investigating Ruan Xiangxiang and the ghost in the painting, and asked them about the progress of the investigation.
The result made Qin Shaoyou very disappointed.
Ruan Xiangxiang has been following her for several days, but has not found any unusual behavior in her.
And the case of the ghost in the painting has made no progress.
The relevant people in charge are complaining: "We also want to make progress quickly, but first Wujiapu and then Mianyuan County have transferred a large number of manpower, plus the people previously sent to search and suppress the Black Lotus Sect
, we really have no one available, and even maintaining night patrols in the city is a bit stretched..."
Is it my fault? Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly.
He had no choice but to find a way to investigate on his own after sending Old Wei and Old Yao home.
The other thing is to wait for Xue Qingshan to come back and urge him more.
As soon as he finished doing these things, Qin Shaoyou saw Zhu Xiucai coming to look for him.
"Sir, have you finished handling the matter here?" Zhu Xiucai came to him and asked in a low voice.
Qin Shaoyou nodded and said: "It's basically done. What about you, have you handed over the task? Have you completed the file and saved it? Nothing went wrong."
"It's all done, nothing went wrong." Zhu Xiucai replied.
After a pause, he whispered again: "Sir, Sun Xiaoqi and the others are still waiting outside. You think of a suitable time to set off. I'll go and tell them."
"Let's do it now, there's nothing else to do anyway."
After Mr. Qin finished lobbying, he followed Zhu Xiucai out of the mission area and arrived at the martial arts arena of the Demon Suppression Department.
The night watchmen who escorted the children back together have completed the handover, are ready, and are waiting here.
Seeing Mr. Qin coming over, the atmosphere immediately became lively.
Qin Shaoyou knew what they were looking forward to, and immediately called everyone to set off without any nonsense.
However, Sun Xiaoqi stopped him: "Master Qin, are you going like this?"
Qin Shaoyou was stunned: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with me doing this?"
"It's so inappropriate."
Sun Xiaoqi pointed at him.
"You haven't taken off your armor yet. You can't go dancing in the sand dance with your armor on, right? Sand dancing is all about sticking face to face and having fun in twisting and rubbing. If you go there wearing armor, what else will you do?
How can you experience the pleasure of friction when your body is sticky?"
Qin Shaoyou looked down and saw that he was still wearing armor.
I have become accustomed to wearing helmets and armor these days. Even after I returned to Luocheng, I still forgot to take them off.
Just taking off his armor now, will people mistakenly think that he took off his armor specifically to do a sand dance in the cat-catching alley?
Then wouldn’t he become an old pervert?
Zhu Xiucai saw Qin Shaoyou's hesitation and said: "Sir, according to the rules of the Demon Suppression Department, you cannot wear armor when you are not on a mission in the city. You'd better take it off quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"
It's still a matter of the scholar's return.
Qin Shaoyou glanced at Zhu Xiucai with admiration and borrowed a donkey to go down the ramp: "Fortunately, Xiucai, you reminded me in time, otherwise I would have made a mistake. Come and help me take off my armor."
Zhu Xiucai immediately stepped forward and, together with several strong men, helped Qin Shaoyou take off his armor and hand it over to the arsenal.
Qin Shaoyou, who was looking relaxed and relaxed, moved his body and greeted everyone with a smile: "Okay, let's go."
But Sun Xiaoqi pointed at his waist again: "Master Qin, there is no need to bring this sword... right?"
This time, Qin Shaoyou did not take off the knife, patted the scabbard with his hand, and said with a smile: "You still have to carry the knife, just in case. Besides, carrying a knife will not hinder the sand dance."
Sun Xiaoqi and others couldn't help but complain in their hearts: When you go to the alley to catch cats, you still carry a knife... I know, I know you are going to catch cats. I don't know, I thought you were looking for trouble.
Unlike Sun Xiaoqi and others, Zhu Xiucai and other subordinates were accustomed to Qin Shaoyou's style, and they even carried knives with them.
When Sun Xiaoqi and others saw this scene, they all thought to themselves: What kind of person is he, and what kind of soldiers are he leading?
But today is Qin Shaoyou's treat after all. He is the big boss of the fund, and Sun Xiaoqi and others can't persuade him.
A group of people quickly left the Demon Suppression Division and headed to Cat Catching Alley.
What surprised Qin Shaoyou was that Monk Ma was also mixed in the crowd.
He originally thought that Monk Ma would not go to a place like Cat Cat Alley and would stay in the Demon Suppression Department to chant Buddhist scriptures.
I didn't expect that this bald man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was actually a benefactor of Cat Cat Alley?
Monk Ma, who was discovered, was a little embarrassed and blushed as he explained: "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. I was thinking that this is our first team building, so I have to participate anyway. Otherwise, I will be sorry for your kindness and I will be sorry for you."
We are a collective. Moreover, my purpose in going to catch cats in the alley is different from that of scholars and others. I am going to persuade people to behave..."
Zhu Xiucai winked and joked: "To persuade prostitutes to be good, don't ask Buddhist monks to have no companions... Monk, you are quite good at it."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the air inside and outside the team was filled with joy.
Soon, the team arrived at Cat Catching Alley.
This alley is not wide, about enough for a carriage to pass on the left and right. The road is paved with stone bricks, and there are yards with blue brick walls on both sides of the alley, some large and some small.
A pair of red lanterns hangs at the entrance of each courtyard, looking ambiguous and mysterious in the night.
Under the red lantern, there was a handsome boy soliciting business.
Whenever he sees someone passing by, the waiter will greet him enthusiastically, or tell him that there is new tea in the store, or tell him that there is a certain exciting program in the store.
And in each courtyard, there is music coming from time to time, either melodious or passionate, making people panic.
Qin Shaoyou walked in the Maomao Alley, curiously looking at the courtyards on both sides, but unfortunately he couldn't see what was going on inside.
Zhu Xiucai leaned into his ear and introduced in a low voice: "Sir, don't worry, the stores in front are very average. Let's go to Tianya Courtyard in the back, where the best programs are."
This group of people are all used to coming here. Which one is good and which one is bad? They all have good connections. They took Qin Shaoyou directly to a store they often go to.
The boy came up to meet him, and when he saw the knives Qin Shaoyou and others were wearing at their waists, he couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously wanted to call the guardian.
But after listening to Sun Xiaoqi's explanation, the boy quickly gave up the idea and welcomed the person into the yard with a smile on his face.
The moment he crossed the threshold, Qin Shaoyou's expression suddenly changed slightly.
"It smells like blood here! It smells like human blood!"
