Li Xinhan slowly restrained his expression.
After only a few days in this place, he realized that Baiyun County had long been as stinking as a cesspool.
Officials collude with demons to riot against the people, which cannot withstand careful scrutiny.
Therefore, there are some stereotypes about the police officers here.
"Keep quiet, arrest him first, take him back for careful interrogation, and make sure to find the whereabouts of Lord Lin."
"clear."
More than ten people quickly dispersed, blocking all retreat routes along the entire long street.
Old Liu, who was best at using hidden weapons, threw away the sugar man pole and quietly approached the thatched-roof house.
The beggar followed closely behind, his hands hidden in his torn sleeves were covered with calluses, and his technique of grappling was perfect.
The two were old friends who had worked together for many years. They first attacked with poison arrows and then tied them up. Ordinary warriors of the same level could not survive a single encounter.
Suddenly, the beggar noticed that Lao Liu had stopped.
"What's wrong?"
He frowned and looked over, with a flash of suspicion in his eyes.
I saw the door was wide open.
The handsome young man remained calm, holding the scabbard at his waist with one hand, standing in front of the door, looking outside in silence, and it was clear that he was prepared.
"This little movement can't be hidden from his eyes and ears?"
The beggar was a little surprised, but still didn't take it to heart. Over the years, they had seen all kinds of masters.
What's more, Li Xinhan, who was standing in the distance, was a real Jade Liquid Realm expert.
What the beggar didn't expect was that Lao Liu slowly put away his blowgun and smiled at the young man, "Sir, we meet again."
We met on the street that morning. The other party obviously noticed something was wrong, but did not expose me.
He could tell at a glance that the candy vendor on the street had changed. With such a keen sense of smell, it would be a bit ridiculous for him to pretend to be humble and take the opportunity to attack him.
"What can I do for you two?"
Shen Yi nodded his chin lightly and glanced at the two of them.
He didn't remember having any dealings with underworld people before. He didn't reveal his identity that day because he was too lazy to provoke them, not because he was afraid of them.
"I have something important to ask you. Please come with me, Mr. Shen."
Old Liu politely stepped back half a step, and the beggar understood his intention and rushed out suddenly. His palms were like dragons piercing through the clouds, and his fingers were like golden hooks. He locked the other's shoulders with great dominance!
In an instant, he clasped the other's shoulders with both palms, and his ten fingers struggled to embed them. He exerted force with both arms, trying to throw him to the ground.
"Huh!"
The beggar shouted loudly, but his face suddenly turned red.
The other party stood steadily, his feet seemed to be glued to the ground. The force exerted by his arms was like a drop in the ocean, and there was no reaction at all.
The next moment, Shen Yi suddenly kicked him in the lower abdomen.
The beggar screamed and flew backwards. He reacted very quickly and rolled a few times in the air, but he still couldn't absorb the huge force completely and crashed into a pillar across the street with a bang.
There was a loud clicking sound and the whole restaurant shook violently twice.
He leaned against the pillar with disordered breathing, veins bulging on his forehead, and he was unable to stand up for a long time.
Seeing this, not only Lao Liu, but also the rest of the people on the street looked solemn.
When it comes to close combat skills, apart from Li Xinhan, the beggar is the strongest among them. How could he not last a single round?
"…"
Old Liu chuckled twice and unconsciously took a few steps back.
He reached to his waist to take out the sign.
Because of this incident, the Demon Suppression Division had to come to this small border county to arrest someone and had to reveal their identities. It was really embarrassing.
Just then, a hand stopped his movements.
Old Liu turned his head and saw that Li Xinhan had come to his side at some point, with his brows furrowed and his nose twitching slightly, obviously catching some strange smell.
"Did you see blood just now?"
Li Xinhan took a long breath, and when he looked at Shen Yi again, a chill appeared in his eyes.
Hearing this, the solemnity on the faces of the others turned into tension.
They rushed to Baiyun County, not to patrol. Now all the clues about Lord Lin pointed to the young man in front of them.
But on the street in the county town, he smelled blood on the other person... The thing that made Li Xinhan so cautious could not be chicken blood or pig blood.
At once, everyone gathered around.
"..." Shen Yi looked at the crowd that suddenly gathered in front of him, and his eyes fell on Li Xinhan's conspicuous black shirt.
I thought it was a bunch of mice, but it turned out to be a cat.
These guys are moving too fast.
Even if the predecessor had managed to withstand the blow from Old Man Liu, it would probably have ended its life today.
Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door.
Shen Yi put down his hand with a little relief, and responded calmly: "My Lord, it is the blood of a demon."
Seeing him loosen the knife handle, the others inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at each other.
As for the towns and counties under Qingzhou, the people in the Demon Suppression Division kept silent about it, but in fact, they all hid their pride in their hearts.
Today, when facing an ordinary constable, I actually felt a little fearful as if I were facing a powerful enemy. If I tell others about it, people will laugh at me.
"Why is there a demon in your house?"
Li Xinhan's voice was firm and his eyes were sharp, with a hint of interrogation.
Shen Yi was not used to this way of questioning, but he could understand that for these people who were fighting demons all day long, it would be a bit difficult to ask them to be friendly since they had to keep their heads on their belts.
He moved slightly sideways to make way.
Li Xinhan frowned again and was about to shout angrily, but was bumped by Lao Liu next to him with his shoulder.
"Just shut up."
He looked up, and soon he was like the others, stunned and standing there in a daze, as if struck by lightning.
All I saw was a cramped room.
Lin Baiwei was walking out of the backyard carrying a wooden basin for washing vegetables. She blinked and looked towards the door curiously.
The loose and ill-fitting gown she was wearing clearly belonged to a man.
Very eye-catching.
She smiled in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"
Li Xinhan opened his mouth, wanting to ask but not daring to, so he could only clench his fist and bowed, saying, "I, Li Xinhan, pay my respects to Lord Lin!"
The others followed suit. Old Liu smacked his lips and glanced at Shen Yi in disbelief before explaining, "Qingzhou hasn't received your letter for a month, so my family sent us here to find out the news."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm fine." Lin Baiwei shook her head with a little guilt.
"We will send you back to Qingzhou immediately." Li Xinhan noticed that there was something wrong with her aura.
"I want to go home first... and, can you wait until I finish my dinner... the freshly stewed mutton soup." Lin Baiwei pursed her lips a little embarrassedly.
"It's all up to you."
Seeing this, everyone in the Demon Suppression Division couldn't help but smile.
This famous monster catcher is really as humble as the rumors say, and treats people warmly.
But soon, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared as Lin Baiwei bustled in and out, and the young man stood silently with his hands hanging down.
"…"
Until the steaming hot broth is served.
Shen Yi had never thought that eating a meal could be so difficult.
A dozen people were standing at the door, staring at him with cold eyes, like death-chasing ghosts.
"Feel sorry."
Lin Baiwei also noticed something was wrong. The two looked at each other and found the tender mutton tasted like wax.
She sighed and put down her bowl and chopsticks: "Take care of yourself."
"The same to you."
Shen Yi clasped his fists and watched the other party walk into the crowd. More than a dozen people disappeared at the end of the night.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the empty room.
He was silent for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.
It's only been a short time since I came here, but I've already developed so many bad habits.
Used to it.
After clearing away the food on the table, Shen Yi cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then washed and hung up his coat.
He lay down on the bed and slowly opened the panel.
