Chapter 735: The Black Lotus Sect’s people are here!
When Qin Shaoyou came to the Confucian Temple again, Qin Lin and Qin Erlang had already moved here.
Qin Erlang was writing an article with Xue Xiaobao in Dacheng Hall.
Qin Lin stood beside the master, asking for advice on academic questions, with an expression of adoration as if she was a fan.
Although Qin Shaoyou, Su Jianqing, and Su Tingyu all used human skin masks and magic to change their appearance, the master still recognized them at a glance when they climbed over the wall and entered the hospital.
"Don't be nervous, it's Master Qin and his friends."
The Master first greeted the red-clothed envoy who was guarding the Confucian Temple, and then, without Qin Shaoyou having to say anything, he knew his purpose and said to Xue Xiaobao: "Your brother-in-law needs your help, so please go with him."
"Okay."
Xue Xiaobao immediately put down the pen in his hand. If he hadn't held back forcefully, he would have cheered.
The master warned him: "I'm helping your brother-in-law with things. This is a test for you. If you don't do well, I will punish you."
Xue Xiaobao was full of confidence, patted his chest and said, "Master, you will be disappointed. I will never give you a chance to punish you."
Qin Erlang next to him looked envious.
He also wanted to follow, but he knew very well that this would never be allowed, so he could only sigh in loneliness.
Xue Xiaobao noticed Qin Erlang's reaction, turned around and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't sigh. When I come back, I will tell you the story of this trip, and you can just go on this mission with me."
Qin Erlang grinned and nodded in agreement.
After bidding farewell to his master and Qin Lin, Qin Shaoyou first asked Su Tingyu to cast a spell on Xue Xiaobao to help him change his appearance and body shape, and then took him out of the Confucian Temple.
Recalling Xue Xiaobao's previous reaction, Qin Shaoyou smiled and joked: "Don't you brag about your academic performance all the time? Why are you still afraid of exams?"
Xue Xiaobao sighed: "That's because you don't know how difficult Daozi's exam is. You have to take the test on everything from rituals, music, archery, and writing, and the test is very in-depth. Compared with Confucius's exam in class, it's more important to test merit and fame."
It’s a lot easier.”
Qin Shaoyou only thought he was bragging.
"That's not a bad tone. When are you going to give me a merit test?"
Xue Xiaobao admitted the truth: "Just wait, when the exam starts next year, our county, government, and hospital will pass the three exams together!"
Qin Shaoyou laughed dumbly: "If you can really pass the exam together, your mother probably won't beat you in the future."
"real?"
Xue Xiaobao's eyes lit up, his fighting spirit instantly became high, and he began to think of a bright future in which he would not be beaten.
"Even if I go to the house to uncover the tiles and demolish the Demon Suppression Department, mother will not beat me?"
Qin Shaoyou raised his hand and slapped him on the head, and said angrily: "Can't you just calm down? Why do you have to seek death?"
Then he added: "I will think about the matter of getting the fame later. First, you can teach me and the two Sisters Su some truth-telling skills such as seeing through fire, observing every detail clearly, and listening to all directions."
Xue Xiaobao covered his head and said yes, but he was muttering in his heart: "I call you uncle, and I call them sister? You are quite good at playing..."
Enhanced by Xue Xiaobao's mantra skills, Qin Shaoyou's talents such as [Bright Eyesight], [Listening] and [Wonderful Nose] have all been improved to varying degrees.
Su Tingyu's nose for sniffing out the scent of demons and ghosts also became more sensitive.
Su Jianqing's detection ability has also been greatly improved. She leads the baby ghosts to lurk in the dark and assists in patrols and searches.
Coupled with the Japanese patrol who stayed in Luocheng City, Qin Shaoyou and his search team, although not large in number, are very capable.
As they patrolled back and forth several times outside the city, they not only identified several spies of the Black Lotus Sect, but also discovered several businessmen who had been bribed by Qingtang.
These businessmen traveled around with the caravans, gathering information for Qingtang and bribed local officials.
Those groups of Qingtang barbarians who crossed the front line before may have had their 'credit' in it.
Even during the inspection, there were spies from the Black Lotus Sect and businessmen bribed by Qingtang, trying to get close to Qin Shaoyou and find out what was happening in the city and why so many night watchmen were mobilized?
Qin Shaoyou wanted to ask where these people got their confidence. How dare they come to him to get information? Do you really think he is blind?
But in order not to alert others, and in order to exploit these people in turn, Qin Shaoyou could only pretend not to recognize their true identities and scolded them.
These informants from the Black Lotus Sect and Qingtang did not give up, and tried to find other ways to find out the information from other night watchmen.
This kind of dedicated attitude makes Qin Shaoyou very satisfied. I believe that after they have worked hard to 'find out' the information, they will definitely not be suspicious.
Returning to the Demon Suppression Division, Qin Shaoyou reported to Xue Qingshan the appearance, identity and hiding place of the Black Lotus Sect and Qingtang spy agents.
Xue Qingshan was very pleasantly surprised. Although he also sent people to search for the whereabouts of the Black Lotus Sect's informants outside the city, the results were very little, which was completely incomparable to Qin Shaoyou's side. He suddenly burst into praise.
Qin Shaoyou did not take any credit, but pulled Xue Xiaobao over and said, "The reason why we were able to uncover the Black Lotus Sect informants and find out the Qingtang spies so quickly, Xiaobao should be the first to do so. You have to praise him."
Xue Xiaobao was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Qin Shaoyou would ask for credit for him. After looking at Qin Shaoyou gratefully, he puffed up his chest proudly.
Xue Qingshan was a little surprised. After asking about the whole story, he laughed and said very happily: "As expected of me, he is promising!"
Xue Xiaobao frowned secretly and muttered unhappily in his heart: I have made a contribution, and you don't praise me. What do you praise yourself for? Can you still have some shame? If your bloodline hadn't held me back, I would have been even worse. It's promising!
Fortunately, he didn't say this, otherwise the credit would be lost and he would have to be beaten again...
After Xue Qingshan was happy, he did not forget to praise Xue Xiaobao a few words, otherwise he would have been slandered by Xue Xiaobao.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Qingshan made a series of targeted arrangements for the informants of the Black Lotus Sect and Qingtang, trying to successfully lead these people into the trap.
This day was spent in tension and busyness.
Late at night, Cai Guizhong rushed to Luocheng with the Yinqi from Mianyuan County.
Also coming with Cai Guizhong and others were the group of little Qingjis. They were full of curiosity about the big city and ran around as soon as they arrived.
However, with Yin Cha and Qing Ji, Luocheng's nighttime patrols can be carried out more carefully and thoroughly. The tracking of the Black Lotus Sect and Qingtang's eyeliners can also be made more covert.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and at dawn, Bai Qingjiang Shuibo, who had transformed into a human form, came to the Demon Division of Luocheng Town.
When he was a dragon, he looked quite slender. Unexpectedly, after turning into a human form, he turned into a big fat man - he looks very similar to Taiyi Zhenren in "The Devil Boy Comes to the World"
.
As soon as he came to Yaosi in Luocheng Town, he asked Qin Shaoyou for a drink.
Of course, Uncle Bai Qingjiang Shui was also a shameless person. He refused to admit that he was attracted by the snake wine. He only said that he heard that his good brother needed help and rushed over immediately.
As for asking for a drink... I saw my good brother and the future Prime Minister of Shuifu, why don't I have a few sips?
He also brought some snacks to go with the wine - fish and shrimp from the Baiqing River.
Qin Shaoyou looked at the fish and shrimps with their mouths opening and closing, and was very suspicious that they were scolding Uncle Bai Qingjiang: You are noble, you are great, you are using our lives as a favor!
Seeing that these fish and shrimps were so energetic, Qin Shaoyou naturally couldn't waste them, so he immediately took them to the kitchen to cook, preparing to add a meal to Brother Paoze who had worked hard all day and night.
At the same time, he took out the snake wine and poured some for Bai Qing Jiang Shui Bo, which satisfied the wine bug in his stomach and thanked him for coming to help.
Time soon came to night.
When night fell, a group of dark clouds floated over Luocheng and it started to rain.
"There's something wrong with this rain..."
Uncle Bai Qingjiang Shui, who was drinking, suddenly stood up and said.
Qin Shaoyou's expression condensed.
He knew that this was the arrival of the Black Lotus Sect!
