Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 136 Another Hu Qian?
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Qian punched him in the stomach again.

Although he only used a little force, he was beaten until he vomited out his bile.

"Master!"

At this moment Hu Jiu also ran out.

Hu Qian said, "Hu Jiu, go and ask the people in the front rooms if they lost something."

Hu Jiu ran over quickly, but after seeing it, he couldn't help being shocked and said: "Master, this person... seems to be dead..."

Hu Qian's heart moved, and he asked Hu Jiu to find a rope, tie up the shopkeeper, and then went to the front room with everyone.

There was no one there, there was a pool of blood on the bed, and a bloody coat with a hole in it.

Everyone was pale with fright.

Immediately, someone ran to the shopkeeper and shouted loudly: "You not only steal, but also kill! Tell me, where did you hide the corpse!"

The shopkeeper became hardened at this moment, and even grinned and said: "You are dying!"

Another person shouted: "Oh, the people in several houses here have also been killed! No body can be found!"

Someone below also shouted: "The people below are all dead! I didn't see any corpses!"

The shopkeeper laughed loudly: "Aren't all of you mages! Quickly do it!"

Everyone showed embarrassment, and one of the tall and thin men said: "Well, the world is difficult, and I also make a living. Everyone does not violate the river, what are you doing?"

Some people said: "What are you afraid of him doing! I want to see what ghosts are there!"

For a while, everyone has everything to do.

Some people went back to the room to get the magic weapon, some held a sword to guard, and some hid in the room, and what's more, they were already talking soft words to the shopkeeper.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper became even more arrogant, and shouted: "Tell you the truth! This store has long been controlled by King Dili. Although I killed those people, the blood and bones have long been drunk by King Dili. Do it, you people can't escape!"

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside the house, and there was a strange laugh faintly in the wind.

"hey-hey……"

Everyone was startled when they heard this.

They were charlatans who came here to fool people by taking advantage of the drought here, so they had no ability to speak of. When they saw this kind of battle, they immediately trembled in fright.

The people who were still practicing chanting scriptures and wielding swords stopped immediately.

The person who had begged for mercy before was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, begging the shopkeeper bitterly.

Hu Qian turned around and saw that Rong Ning'er was all right, so he waited where he was, waiting to see what this monster was.

In the blink of an eye, the wind outside was louder, making the doors and windows rattle.

The door of the inn had been closed long ago, but at this moment there was a cloudy wind blowing up from below, and the weak could not stand still at all.

"Hahaha……"

The monster seemed to be playing tricks on everyone, but it just let out the wind to blow, but didn't make a move.

The shopkeeper shouted: "King of the Earth, quickly use your supernatural powers!"

At this moment, Hu Qian finally saw what that thing was, and under the gaze of everyone, he suddenly opened the window.

Shocked, everyone behind shouted, "What are you doing!"

"Don't go looking for death!"

While speaking, Hu Qian had already jumped out of the window, stepped out, and arrived at the place where the strange sound was, grabbed something suddenly, and squeezed something.

Everyone was stunned, and before they could speak, Hu Qian had already returned.

"The king of the earth you mentioned, it must be it."

He said, throwing the things in his hand in front of the shopkeeper.

The thing squeaked when it fell, but it turned out to be a big yellow-haired mouse.

Including the shopkeeper, everyone was too scared to speak.

The mouse was as big as a house cat, and when it saw Hu Qian let go, it was about to run away.

Hu Qian said, "If you don't move around, you can live a little longer."

The mouse was not willing to listen, it immediately turned into a cloud of strange wind, and when it was about to escape, it was pinched by Hu Qian again, under the gravity, the pain almost passed out.

The shopkeeper couldn't believe his eyes, and then he seemed to realize it again, and shouted: "This is a charlatan's trick! I don't know where to get a mouse to trick me..."

However, before he finished speaking, the mouse suddenly cried out in pain: "Master, let go, don't kill me!"

Now everyone took a few steps back, only watching from a distance.

The shopkeeper said in astonishment: "The King of Earth, how could he be a big mouse..."

Hu Qian looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Now you should die in peace, but I won't kill you, let the people in this town send you to see the official tomorrow."

Turning around, he asked the mouse again, "What kind of thing are you, that you killed so many people!"

The mouse said: "Master, I was originally a field mouse here, but I have become a ghost after a long time, but I did not harm anyone. This is all tricked by Grandma the Dryad!"

Hu Qian was taken aback, "Didn't you kill the many people below?"

"These people were all killed by shopkeeper Zhang San. I just transported their flesh and blood to grandma with the magic weapon given by grandma."

Hu Qian nodded, and the Longyuan sword in his sleeve flew out suddenly, and when the white light flashed, the mouse had already separated.

Everyone was too frightened to speak, but just looked at Hu Qian quietly.

Hu Qian said: "Hu Jiu, go to sleep, we have to hurry tomorrow."

As he said that, he went back to the room on his own, leaving behind a group of people who were still in a daze.

Seeing her coming in, Rong Ning'er and Ying Cai breathed a sigh of relief.

Until dawn, nothing strange happened.

After Yingcai and Rong Ning'er waited for him to dress and wash, he went out and asked Hu Jiu to untie Zhang San who was tied to the pillar, and sent him to the head of the village here, and they sent Zhang San to see the official .

Hu Qian and others packed up early, found a passerby to ask the direction of Ming Guobei County, and set off immediately.

Compared with the places I passed by before, the further I went to Guobei County, the more severe the drought was.

From time to time, farmers can be seen carrying water into the fields bit by bit, and many people wield shovels and dig wells in the fields.

But the excavated soil didn't have a trace of water vapor, and it was as hard as a rock.

In the evening, the four arrived at Guobei County.

Hu Qian originally wanted to go to the county government office to take over, but unexpectedly the county government office closed early, so he wanted to find an inn to stay and go there the next day.

I just turned a street, and suddenly I saw people on the street rushing in one direction.

Hu Qian made a show, and Hu Jiu understood immediately, stepped forward to stop a person and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

The man looked at Hu Qian and said, "Are you from other places? You don't even know this?"

"what do you know?"

"Master Hu, the magistrate newly appointed by the emperor, is going to the altar at Caishikou to pray for rain!"

Hu Qian was taken aback, and asked, "Master Hu? Which Master Hu?"

The man said respectfully: "Who else could it be! It was Hu Daxian from Nanyang County before. I heard that he had the ability to catch monsters and invite gods when he was young.

Later, he was admitted to Juren, and this time he heard that he was awarded a Jinshi again by the emperor. The reason why he came here was that the emperor specially asked him to come here to pray for rain to cure drought. "

　Thanks to the mage for tipping her if she didn't come!
