It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 126: There is a hook, who relies on reasoning to solve the case?
The three of them climbed up along the crack of the mountain with their help.

Zhao Ci watched from below, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a little emotional.

In fact, he is not particularly unfamiliar with Hanling County. After all, it is only more than 100 miles away from Linge. There are even many young men and women from Linge who come here to relax.

In their words, Hanling Waterway has pleasant scenery, and floating along the water is full of poetry and painting.

It was never mentioned that accidents were common here.

But think about it, they can afford the best bodyguards and boatmen, and the Caobang doesn't dare to embarrass them.

Isn’t it just beautiful scenery?
Zhao Ci had heard about it many times, so when he first saw the Hanling Waterway in the task book, his first thought was to experience the feeling of a light boat passing through the Ten Thousand Mountains.

But they never thought that the beautiful scenery in the eyes of boys and girls in the capital would be so dangerous to the local people in Hanling County.

This open space can be called a dangerous beach.

From the perspective of the cracked mountain crevice, you can only go up but not down.

There are many similar dangerous beaches, but this one is not as famous because judging from the shape of the river, it is the most prone to accidents.

Although accidents can happen in other places, there are no mountain crevices nearby and no way to survive.

Either they were lucky enough to meet kind-hearted passers-by who were willing to risk their lives to save them, or they died while waiting for rescue.

Feng Kucha looked at the wreckage of the ship on the ground with a complicated expression: "Old Zhao, let's get back to the ship!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Ci nodded and returned with Chen Hui using the hook.

When we got to the boat, the boatman had diligently prepared a sleeping place.

Chen Hui asked Zhao Ci and Feng Kucha to rest in the cabin, and then he and the boatman kept vigil at the bow of the boat.

Zhao Ci originally wanted to invite him to rest, but when he saw that he refused, he stopped talking and lay down on the mattress in the cabin.

The crocodile girl had just transformed and didn't understand the etiquette and shame of the human race so much. As soon as she saw the bed, she showed a flattering smile to Feng Kucha and stretched out her hand to undress him.

Stuttered: "Feng Shaoye..."

I didn't learn Chinese very well and my accent was weird.

Feng Kucha patted her hand down and scolded her impatiently: "Just stay there!"

The crocodile girl was stunned for a moment, a fierce light flashed in her brown eyes, she shrank her neck, respectfully performed a nondescript human salute, and ran to the corner of the cabin to sit up.

Feng Kucha sat down cross-legged and began to use his zhenqi to dry the water on his body.

Zhao Ci noticed that the energy in his body was quite agitated, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Old Feng, do you think this matter has something to do with the Caobang?"

"nonsense!"

Feng Kucha was a little irritated: "You can find a river at random, but if you pay the protection fee to Caogang, you will be safe. The water monster designated to be raised in the river has not escaped.

As for this crocodile girl, there were too many water transport accidents in Qingzhou and the matter could not be suppressed anymore, so she sent the young daughter of the Yao Yao couple to Linge to take the blame.

Just tell me how many accidents this little monster that has just transformed can cause?

But don't think she is a good bird, I extracted a lot of human essence from her body.

She killed more people than most people on death row.

That night he tried to kill me several times, but I whipped him several times before he became honest. "

Hear this.

The crocodile girl's cheeks turned pale, she buried her head under her arms and fell asleep.

Zhao Ci saw that he was a little depressed, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing has nothing to do with you, why are you so depressed?"

"It really doesn't matter?"

Feng Kucha laughed at himself: "Before I entered the mansion, I relied entirely on the Feng family for food and clothing. Every day, the banshees on my bed brought nothing special, including the essence in my lower abdomen, which was also extracted from them.

Also, in the past, the Demon Slayer Division only detained demons with high cultivation and ferocious nature, but in recent years, many beautiful and beautiful banshees with low cultivation have appeared.

For example, this crocodile girl has a family of so many demons. Why do you think she is the one who takes the blame?

Isn’t it because my father, who is in charge of children but not responsible for raising children, wants to compensate me?
In this world, is there any reason to only enjoy without taking responsibility? "

Zhao Ci: "..."

This guy's consciousness is quite high.

But he suspected that Feng Kucha was in Versailles.

What kind of fairy daddy is this?

Is it ten thousand times stronger than Lao Deng?
Give me a dozen of these dads.

I also want to be different in bed every day.

But forget about the half-transformed crocodile girl.

Cat demons, fox demons, etc., just leave a tail.

broken!

I have been teased by my little aunt several times, but why are there so many thoughts in my head so easily?
Feng Kucha was a little irritated and complained in a low voice: "Old Zhao, you said that your father is the emperor. The Cao Gang is so rampant, doesn't he know how to take care of it?"

Zhao Ci's mouth twitched.

Damn!

Show off your dad.

Then you come to diss my dad, right?

However, according to Feng Kucha, the Cao Gang was indeed a bit too rampant.

Raise the bandits to respect themselves and make money wantonly.

Speaking of which, what can a meritorious family do?
Originally, the seven meritorious families were equally powerful, but now the three big families participating in the fight for heirloom have firmly occupied the top three positions.

It has nothing to do with this dirty method.

Lao Deng is really generous in allowing them to do these things.

Zhao Ci was able to guess part of Lao Deng's thoughts, deliberately let it go and then found the handle. Then, while several companies were increasing their efforts to compete for reserves, he used the handle to forcefully increase the intensity of harvesting.

This time Ying Rui appeared, and there were many tasks for these companies in the task book.

It just hits this point perfectly.

Zhao Ci curled his lips and said nonsense: "My father is strategizing, how can you understand his thoughts?"

"Pinch mother's!"

Feng Kucha cursed and stood up, making a contemptuous gesture towards Zhao Ci.

Zhao Ci smiled and asked, "What are you doing?"

Feng Kucha spat: "Take some responsibility!"

[Feng Kucha’s current wish]: At least turn all the things I enjoy into responsibilities and atone for my sins!Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +1000, Sky Carrying Talisman X1.

Zhao Ci: "..."

Hey!
Sublimated!
What light is this.

So dazzling!
Zhao Ci really didn't expect that Feng Kucha would have such an awareness.

But think about it, he witnessed his mother being killed by a mountain demon when he was young, and later spent the money the Feng family earned from raising demons, so it would be impossible for him to not have any psychological pressure at all.

only……

Zhao Ci asked: "How are you going to take responsibility?"

Feng Kucha walked to the corner and kicked the crocodile girl in the butt: "Pipi Crocodile, let's go!"

Zhao Ci: "..."

……

The next morning.

Feng Kucha was lying in the cabin and fast asleep, while the crocodile girl was lying on the floor, breathing heavily.

She swam in the river all night last night and searched the waterway following the evil spirit. She was sure that there was a water demon here, and it was a carp spirit above the physical realm. The evil spirit on his body was very strong and he should eat it. Passed many people.

But she couldn't find any trace of the carp spirit.

It was obviously suppressed by his cultivation.

Zhao Ci kicked Feng Kucha: "You are not responsible, why are you sleeping so soundly?"

"me……"

Feng Kucha obviously didn't wake up, and said vaguely: "My special mother has no ability other than treatment. This is already my limit!"

Zhao Ci: "..."

Say something.

No problem.

At least this wave has done its job.

Although the posture is a bit unsightly.

But you can't say he's passive.

Zhao Ci rubbed his head, feeling a little dizzy: "Tell me, has the carp spirit escaped?"

"probably not!"

Feng Kucha rubbed his face and sat up: "This carp spirit can suppress the crocodile girl's cultivation, which is at least equivalent to the second level of Shen Zang. If it runs around, it will easily cause turmoil in the water, which will make it easier to be exposed.

The officials of Hanling County are competing with it and will definitely monitor the nearby waters closely.

Instead, it is safer to find a place to hide.

If you want to find it, you have to send at least a master of the third level of Shen Zang who is good at water properties.

Otherwise, why do you think it is only water monsters that can cause trouble for a long time? "

"I see!"

Zhao Ci nodded slightly and couldn't help but praise: "As expected of Brother Kucha who has had in-depth and simple exchanges with countless female demons. In terms of understanding of demons, it has to be you!"

Feng Kucha's lips raised: "That's a must!"

Zhao Ci: "So what should we do next?"

Feng Kucha: "..."

Zhao Ci couldn't hold it any longer: "Don't you have to take responsibility?"

Feng Kucha spread his hands: "If I'm not capable enough, what can I do?"

Zhao Ci: "..."

There's really nothing wrong with it.

He rubbed his head and felt that although his IQ was not bad, he was really not suitable for solving crimes.

When I watched Detective Conan in my previous life, I never guessed who the murderer was.

He somewhat regretted choosing this case, because he chose it as soon as his head got hot because he saw that it would be valuable to learn from.

In fact, it is better to choose those who already have several suspects.

With one shout, your wish is guaranteed.

Those who have been wronged must be cleared of their wrongdoing.

The real suspect must not find me.

Even if there is no evidence, it is more convenient to compile the process with the answers.

Gan!
They were all delayed by greed.

Feng Kucha looked a little confused: "I'll try it later and see if my face control works. It's best if it works, but if it doesn't... it's a bit embarrassing at most."

Zhao Ci: "..."

At this moment.

Chen Hui's voice sounded outside the cabin: "Your Highness, the county governor and the people from the Cao Gang are here!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ci quickly got up and left the cabin.

really.

A large ship with the Caobang logo was slowly approaching.

As they got closer, the two masters of the physical realm threw out the iron anchor and threw it towards the mountain wall.

After hearing a heart-wrenching sound of gravel, the anchor was firmly embedded in the mountain wall, and the hull of the big ship stopped firmly in the river.

Then a ladder flew over and was placed firmly on the big ship where Zhao Ci was.

bow.

The old man in the official uniform of the county governor stepped onto the flying ladder, walked quickly to the bow of Zhao Ci's boat, and solemnly saluted Zhao Ci: "Your Highness has been waiting for a long time. I am polite to you."

[Xue Zhili’s current wish]: Although His Highness doesn’t know what he is capable of, he does his duty. I hope he can solve this case!Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +100, I don’t know how to qualify X1.

Warm eyes.

Describe haggard.

Obviously a lot of effort was put into this matter.

Zhao Ci smiled and helped him up: "Master Xue, you must not do it. Now my official position is just a head catcher, so I must not do this gift!"

Behind him.A strong man with the Caobang logo tattooed on his chest also stepped forward and saluted: "Liu Yang, Hanling foreman of Caomin Caobang, pays homage to His Highness."

[Liu Yang's current wish]: Let Zhao Ci and the young master retreat when they are faced with difficulties, so as not to continue to attract my attention from the Caobang.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +100, Retreat Talisman X1.

Yo!
Pretty cool?
"Polite!"

Zhao Ci looked at him with a smile: "I heard that you helped Master Xue find the water demon this time and you did a lot of work!"

There is something in the words.

But Liu Yang didn't seem to realize anything was wrong, and said with a hearty smile: "Although we people rely on water to make a living, we still make a living under the protection of the imperial court. As long as the imperial court is in need, how can we not help?

It's just that we people have limited strength and can't help the court.

I am ashamed to say it.

I used all my life's knowledge to figure out where a few water monsters might be hiding, but all failed.

I have troubled you all so many times in vain! "

The more he said, the more ashamed he became.

By the end, I even started beating my chest.

Zhao Ci couldn't help but be in awe of him. He originally thought that his acting skills were invincible, but he didn't expect that there was someone who was braver than him. Whose general is this?
He glanced at Feng Kucha and found that his face looked a little ugly.

Oh!
It turns out to be from the Feng family!
That's fine.

Xue Zhili coughed lightly and said calmly: "Yes! The friends in Caobang have been a big help!"

He emphasized the word "big" very strongly.

As long as you feel it a little bit, you can tell that his dissatisfaction with Caobang has almost reached an uncontrollable level.

But think about it, a whole bunch of children have disappeared under their own rule. No one can bear this, right?

"Ashamed ashamed!"

Liu Yang didn't seem to be able to hear the underlying meaning at all. An old man like him was used to this kind of thing.

The Caogang has been rising for such a long time, and it is impossible not to arouse any suspicion. They have already taken the confidentiality work to the extreme. The large and small Caogangs in the private sector are divided into rudders, and the vast majority of people are engaged in serious business.

There are actually only a handful of people who charge protection fees to produce dry ash.

As for the owners of those water monsters, it is impossible for them to appear in the Cao Gang's list.

Of course, they will never appear in the Feng family's list. They are either from their maternal relatives' families, or they have been removed from the Feng family's family tree for various reasons.

It is very difficult to capture the water monster alive, and it is even more difficult to find the owner of the water monster.

Even if they were found, the Feng family would not be blamed if there was no quarrel.

So why should I feel guilty?

I am just a water traffic manager who actively cooperates with the imperial court.

What can I do wrong?

Xue Zhili's eyes were slightly cold, and he immediately looked at Zhao Ci: "Your Highness, this ship is too cramped, please get on the big ship!"

"Ok!"

Zhao Ci nodded, then climbed onto the flight ladder with Feng Kucha, and boarded the ship with three steps and two steps.

Everyone present, whether they were officials from Hanling County or people from the Caogang, saluted respectfully.

If there is any benefit to the government struggle, it might be this.

Don't worry about whether others dislike you or not, you will do your best to show your face.

If it were an ordinary head catcher, he wouldn't be treated like this.

of course.

If you offend the interests of others, you should not cooperate or not.

Xue Zhili made a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness, can we talk to you in the cabin?"

"it is good!"

Zhao Ci nodded.

Feng Kucha grabbed Liu Yang's neck and said, "Foreman Liu, where is the toilet on your ship? Please take me there."

Hearing this, Xue Zhili immediately understood what Feng Kucha meant, and immediately said: "Foreman Liu, I will accompany His Highness for a little while. You don't have to worry!"

After that, he and Zhao Ci entered the cabin one after another.

Liu Yang glanced at Feng Kucha, his face couldn't help but look stiff, but he still managed to squeeze out a smile: "Master Feng, please!"

Then he took Feng Kucha towards the direction of the latrine.

However, we haven't reached the toilet yet.

Feng Kucha was the first to speak: "Old Liu, give this carp spirit to me!"

Liu Yang suppressed the urge to roll his eyes: "Master Feng, I don't understand what you mean!"

"You are pretending to be stupid with me!"

Feng Kucha curled his lips: "I'm from the Feng family. Don't I know what's going on with that carp spirit in the water?"

Liu Yang pretended to be surprised: "Oh? Master Feng means that the Feng family deliberately raises vicious monsters and practices by attacking passers-by?"

"You pretend for me again?"

"Young ones really don't understand what Master Feng means. If the young master wants to rely on the Feng family's reputation and instructs us to work hard to find monsters, of course we don't dare to disobey.

After all, the Feng family is a meritorious family that protects Dayu. The young people usually have no luck in admiring the Feng family's grace. If they can do their best this time, they will naturally be honored.

It's just that our abilities are limited after all, and we have tried our best to help the Hanling government. Although we are willing to serve Feng, it is difficult to achieve better results.

So please don’t blame Mr. Feng! "

It is translated.

Caobang has nothing to do with the Feng family.

Don't dismantle your own platform either.

We definitely don't know how to work.

Don't even think about taking advantage.

Feng Kucha: "You are so damn..."

He couldn't stand this kind of old man.

Liu Yang smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "Master Feng, the toilet is at the end of the ship corridor and drains directly into the river. I have to report the situation to His Highness the Tenth Prince, so I won't accompany you for now."

"and many more!"

Feng Kucha stopped him.

Liu Yang turned around: "Master Feng, do you have any other instructions?"

Feng Kucha felt a little angry: "Wouldn't it break your conscience if you do this?"

Hearing the word "conscience", Liu Yang's face froze for a while, and he almost laughed out of anger.

He also didn't understand why the Feng family would raise a person with such cerebral palsy.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and smiled: "I don't understand what the young master means."

Say it.

Just turn around and leave.

Feng Kucha stood there, feeling a little weak.

There are many things I want to do, but my job is to be a nanny.

He is said to be the most favored young master in the entire Feng family.

But in fact, except for those who can satisfy themselves with food and clothing, no one in the Feng family will take him seriously.

No wonder Zhao Ci stopped himself with his eyes just now.

It does look like a clown to hit a wall like this.

He shook his head and turned back to the cabin.

However, they found that Zhao Ci was having a lively chat with Xue Zhili, and Zhao Ci was outputting crazy words from his small mouth.

Everything about Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, and Bagua seemed very professional.

Feng Kucha couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Does Zhao Ci still understand these things?

Never heard of it before!

However, he looked at Xue Zhili's embarrassed face, and Liu Yang's appearance of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

He got it.

This guy is just bullshit.

Zhao Ci saw Feng Kucha's dark face and immediately understood what had happened. He waved to him cursingly: "Why have you been pulling out for so long? Didn't you pull it out? You look like you're not smooth? Come here. , Ci daddy will tell you the yin and yang gossip!"

As he said that, he glanced at Liu Yang with a half-smile.

Feng Kucha didn't know why, but he still approached him wisely.

Zhao Ci rolled up his sleeves and prepared to continue talking.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Xue Zhili quickly stopped him: "How about we talk about the case first!"

His head was buzzing now, because he knew a little bit about what knowledge Zhao Ci was talking about, but he couldn't understand what Zhao Ci was talking about.

All kinds of esoteric vocabulary were thrown around, but the preface didn't match the follower.

He was so embarrassed that his ten toes were digging into the floor.

Liu Yang also suppressed a smile: "Yes, yes! Your Highness, let's talk about the case first!"

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Ci was a little unhappy: "What I just told you was the case!"

Xue Zhili: "Huh?"

Liu Yang: "Huh?"

The mentality of both of them has undergone subtle changes.

Xue Zhili felt a chill in his heart. He originally thought that Zhao Ci could be of some help. After all, he had also heard that some time ago, in the imperial martial arts competition, the tenth prince suddenly emerged and became the well-deserved number one.

As a result...only force is worth it?

Liu Yang could hardly hold back his laughter. At first, he was curious as to how someone like Feng Kucha could become a government official. Now he finally understood. It turned out that the person who founded the government was just like him.

Zhao Ci was looked down upon, so he angrily took out a copper coin, pointed to the map of Hanling Waterway on the table and said: "My grandfather-in-law is the great scholar of Kan, the number one divine calculator in Dayu. Can I still deceive you? Do you believe it?" If you don’t believe it, I can tell you where the carp spirit is hiding right now.”

Xue Zhili: "..."

Liu Yang: "Puch... Your Highness, I'm sorry, no offense intended!"

He has been specially trained not to laugh no matter how funny something happens, unless he can't help it.

But Zhao Ci.

Now he's jumping up and down like a clown.

"Don't believe it?"

Zhao Ci took out a high-grade lucky charm and stuck it on the copper coin.

It greatly increases the probability of good random events. He has a lot of them in his inventory, but he used a hundred chapters of low-grade lucky charms to achieve it.

He looked at Liu Yang, and the smile on his face suddenly turned playful.

Thumb flick.

The copper coins suddenly flipped and flew up.

Then, it clattered onto the Hanling Waterway map on the table.

It tumbled and spun, and finally landed somewhere in the waterway.

Liu Yang: "!!!"

The smile disappeared from his face and was replaced by horror.

broken!

I'm a clown!
Xue Zhili himself couldn't bear to look directly at him, but when he saw Liu Yang's expression, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked at Zhao Ci with a puzzled face.

Does he really understand divination?
Those metaphysical words that seemed to have no preface and follow-up just now were not because he pretended to understand, but because he had returned to his original nature?

And I am the truly shallow one!

broken!

I became a clown.

The corners of Zhao Ci's mouth rose crazily.

Motherfucker!
It’s cool to pretend to be realistic.

These days, who can solve a case by reasoning?
He stared at Liu Yang: "Foreman Liu, do you think this place is right?"

Liu Yang: "???"
