Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 899 Old acquaintance

"By the way, I have another question for you." Before jumping into the backyard of the county government office, little Bifang landed on Daoyi's shoulder and asked her in a low voice.

Dao turned his head to the side, "What?"

Xiao Bifang: "You knew it was poison, why didn't you help the old woman get rid of the poison first?"

Daoyi: "The poison in Granny Liu's body will not harm her life at the moment. The most important thing is that the whole Puyang County is full of this poison. It is useless for me to cure it for her. Only by solving the root cause can we truly cure them."

"There is another way. I can help Granny Liu detoxify and then send her out of Puyang, but that would take too much time."

They came from Dongdu, and because of the Wuzi tribe, they didn't see many strangers along the way. If they wanted to send the person out now, the best option would be to send him back to Dongdu, but Zhang Liu, who was worried about his descendants, might not be willing to follow.

Therefore, Daoyi decided to cut the Gordian knot.

Little Bifang flapped his wings, "I was wondering why I felt uncomfortable the moment I entered Puyang. It's because every time I took a breath, toxins entered my body."

Daoyi: "You are a divine beast, your five senses are naturally different from those of ordinary people, so it is natural that you will feel uncomfortable."

Little Bifang tilted his head, "Little Taoist, you are also a human being, you won't be poisoned."

Daoyi looked at it with satisfaction, "Not bad, the little fat boy now cares about others."

Little Bifang: “.” It just asked this question unnecessarily.

After the man and the bird finished their conversation, the little Bifang flew in the sky and confirmed that there was no one in the backyard of Puyang County Government Office, so Daoyi jumped in.

The yard was quiet.

Daoyi glanced around and smelled the smell of medicine in the air, and frowned subconsciously.

"Little Fatty, something is wrong in the county government office. Go check around first and meet up in the front yard later."

Xiao Bifang: "I have no problem. The key is, are you looking for where the front yard is?"

Dao Yi: "."

She took a deep breath, clenched her teeth and said, "I've been here before, I'm very familiar with this place!"

How could I not be familiar with it? The place where I enter the prison cell right after going down the mountain is something I will never forget in my life.

Daoyi didn't wait for Xiao Bifang to ask any more questions, he just picked a direction and ran away.

Little Bifang.

Little Bifang looked at the guilty person, flapped its wings indifferently, and flew away in the opposite direction.

Daoyi groped around in the county government office based on her memory. The strange thing was that except for the time when she first came in and was afraid of being discovered, she didn't find anyone guarding it later. She walked around the county government office with a swagger, just like strolling in the back garden of her home, and didn't run into anyone.

After walking around most of the county government office, I didn't see a single ghost, except for the sometimes strong and sometimes weak smell of medicine.

Daoyi decided to go to the front yard first to see if Xiao Bifang had discovered it.

Go to the front yard and pass by a yard.

Dao Yi looked at it a few more times.

This courtyard was where Wang Xuanzhi lived when he was in Puyang. It was here that they negotiated the "contract" when they rescued her.

Unexpectedly, three years later, the two became a destined engaged couple, but this place seemed to have not changed much.

Daoyi was about to express her feelings when she and Wang Xuanzhi had such a miraculous encounter. Her face suddenly froze, and she recalled the scene when they first met.

Without even looking back, she ran to the front yard.

When Daoyi arrived, the little Bifang was already waiting in the front yard. It was lying on a corner of the roof, and when it saw her coming, it flew down from the roof.

"Little Taoist priest, one good news and one bad news."

Daoyi: ".What news?"

Little Bifang stood on her shoulder and said, "I found the people from the county government. They are all together, but there are many dead people. However, the dead are not the patients who were taken away."

Daoyi: "Where are they? Take me there."

"."

"Please, please let me go!"

"I just stole a tael of silver, and you are taking my life lightly."

"I just ate a free meal without paying, why do you want to kill me?"

"I was wrongly accused, let me out!"

"Tomorrow I will be released from prison!"

"Even if I killed someone, I should follow the law and be executed in the autumn!" "You are a dog official, you are abusing your power!"

"let me out!"

"Dog officer!"

"."

There were cries and insults all around until a decisive voice was heard.

"Drink it all!"

The entire prison fell silent for a moment, and soon turned into a new round of crying, insults, and their struggles unwilling to accept their fate.

When Daoyi arrived near the cell, all the bad guys in the county government were guarding the cell, so she could only lie on the roof of the cell.

After hearing the noise in the cell, Daoyi immediately understood what County Magistrate Liu was doing.

They used prisoners from the entire county government as experiments and tested drugs on them.

As the criminals said, their crimes will be judged by the law.

When Daoyi was about to go down to stop them, another voice of persuasion sounded.

"County Magistrate Liu, you can no longer be soft on them. These prisoners should have thought about what would happen before they committed the crime. They are only saying these words to save their lives. Testing the medicine for those patients can also be considered as accumulating blessings for their next life."

The voice sounded slightly familiar, especially when he called the other party "County Magistrate Liu", it couldn't be more familiar.

Through the gap in the cell ceiling, Daoyi finally saw the face clearly.

It turned out to be him: Hu Zhubu.

When County Magistrate Liu was arrested, this man escaped. Everyone thought he was an insignificant person, but unexpectedly, he was the big fish.

And the game is played in the dark.

County Magistrate Liu sighed, "Alas, first there was the flood, then the war, and then the plague. I don't know when Puyang will be able to be stable again."

Daoyi also sighed and wondered what sins the two previous Liu county magistrates had committed to deserve meeting this Hu Zhubu.

The previous person who did nothing met the one who was intent on doing something bad, which was a match made in heaven.

As for the latter one, who was testing drugs on prisoners, this was something that received mixed reviews, so she didn't comment much.

But she could prevent County Magistrate Liu from being used as a gun, and she also didn't want County Magistrate Liu to go further astray in the future.

"Stop!" Daoyi shouted and fell from the sky.

The bad guys guarding outside the yard rushed in at the same time.

Among the prisoners in the cell, several had already been force-fed most of the medicine, and some still refused to comply. The medicine spilled on their ochre clothes, spreading like ink.

"Who dares to break into the county government office at night!" County Magistrate Liu was shocked when a young lady fell from the sky.

Looking at the familiar face in his memory, Hu Zhubu was horrified. It was because Wang Xuanzhi reported the Puyang incident truthfully that the easy-to-control idiot Liu Ying was arrested, causing the master's order to be interrupted.

Later, he found out from various sources the relationship between this woman and Wang Xuanzhi, but because of the sensitive nature of his identity, he did not dare to listen to more.

Especially on the master's side, he was afraid of being taken as a sacrifice to the gods, so he could only hide in Puyang and obey orders, doing something from time to time to respond to his master.

It wasn't until the monster army of the Five Characters Department came out that he knew his chance had come.

Relying on his familiarity with the work of the chief clerk, he sneaked back into the county government office. He had only done half of his work when he unexpectedly met her again.

Hu Zhubu was a coward, and when he found that the situation was not favorable to him, he wanted to escape immediately.

"Master Hu, when we meet, don't you want to reminisce about the past?"

Daoyi ignored what Magistrate Liu said, but stopped Chief Clerk Hu, who was standing on tiptoe with his back to everyone and preparing to slip away.

Hu Zhubu's back stiffened. He obviously didn't expect that the other party would still remember him after three years.

"Hu Xin, what are you doing?" County Magistrate Liu keenly sensed the problem.

Hu Zhubu ran out without saying a word. Just as he reached the door, he felt a tightness around his waist.

He looked down and saw a green vine with black thorns. He was pricked by it and could no longer move.

"I said, you can go now?" Daoyi's voice was so cold that it made him shiver.
