Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 201

Sure enough, within a few days, the chief secretary issued a decree, asking Hu Qian to take the inspection department to Gai County to suppress bandits.

Speaking of which, Gai County is considered to be the place with the most bandits in Jinling, and the previous iron whip seems to be from Gai County.

Later, an iron whip was wiped out, and a group of thieves under him died, and some fled, and within a few years, they were revived again.

Now there is a bandit nicknamed "Flying on the Grass", who claims to be the eldest son of Yi Tiebian.

What actually happened, only he himself knew.

The magistrate of Gai County asked the chief secretary, and the chief secretary handed over the job to Hu Qian. If there was nothing tricky about it, Hu Qian would not believe anything he said.

However, the decree has been issued, and it is impossible not to go.

Fortunately, Gai County is not far from here. If all goes well, they can return within ten days.

When Shen Yuzhen and the others heard about this, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Hu Qian comforted him gently for a while, and spent some time with the girls, then went to the county government office and handed over all the things to the county magistrate, Xu Fengnian, and Kong Xueli.

With these three, there is nothing to worry about.

With Jiaona and Dou Ziping at home, plus the golden talisman guards, it seems that nothing will happen.

After rectifying for a long time, Hu Qian straddled his horse and took Ying Xiaoyou and other soldiers from the inspection department to Gai County.

When asked about Flying on the Grass, Ying Xiaoyou, who is a professional thief hunter, still knows a lot.

According to what he said, there are about 50 people in the grass-flying team, some of them are the old men of the iron whip, and some of them are villagers captured from the local area.

Except for the old troops with an iron whip who have some fighting power, even if those villagers can fight, they are just reckless.

Because Kong Zongbing was transferred away, only Guobei in Jinling had an inspection department, so sometimes he couldn't take care of it, so this person took advantage of the loopholes.

Hu Qian then asked him how much he knew about "flying on the grass".

He said that he had never heard of this name before, as if it appeared out of nowhere.

Hu Qian suddenly thought of the fox monsters and bandits who colluded with Niu Dewang before, and vaguely wondered whether this "flying on the grass" that suddenly appeared had something to do with Niu Dewang.

They kept going all the way, and in the evening, Ying Xiaoyou said that they would soon reach the post station.

Everyone was about to pass by, when the sky suddenly darkened, two things that looked like weasels or rabbits jumped out of the weeds on both sides of the official road, and they flashed past.

Then everyone saw four faint lights in front of them.

Ying Xiaoyou was taken aback for a moment, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this... there was no fire in front just now..."

Hu Qian swept away with his supernatural powers, and knew that there were four people in front of him.

It's just that they are far away, and the sky is dark, so they can't see clearly what kind of four people they are.

After a while, the light got closer, and every time he took a step forward, it would sway for a while, and he could vaguely see that it was four lanterns.

When I went to look again, I saw four people, each carrying a lantern.

At this time, everyone was slightly relieved.

Some soldiers may not be afraid of going to battle to kill the enemy, and they are afraid of things that these gods and ghosts can't see or touch.

However, when those four people approached, everyone's scalp went numb again.

Among the four were an old woman, a lame middle-aged man, a girl full of cardamom, and a beautiful woman in a wedding dress.

No matter how you look at it, this is not like a normal person, and it should not be here at this time.

Although the four were tall and short, fat and thin, they were all holding the lantern with their left hand and holding their shoulders with their right hand, as if there was something on it, and their steps were surprisingly consistent.

Every time he took a step forward, he paused for a moment, and the lantern in his hand shook. It was not so much a person as four zombies.

The team of hundreds of people was completely shocked, and everyone automatically gave way to let the four pass slowly.

For a while, the official road was silent, and even the war horses stopped neighing.

Hu Qian also looked at it strangely, these four are obviously talented people...

Could it be that the Youtong supernatural power has made a mistake?

However, when I looked in the direction of the four people's right hands, I saw a white rope tied to each of the four people's hands.

The rope was dragged to a knot three meters behind, and a man was pulled behind.

The man was swaying around, at a loss as to where he was, he was clearly a ghost.

Ying Xiaoyou and the others couldn't see the soul behind them, they just looked at the four people in front of them in surprise.

Hu Qian looked again, probably knowing that these four people might be temporarily requisitioned as errands, so he didn't care much, and said, "Let's go, and stay in front."

Ying Xiaoyou said: "My lord, this..."

Hu Qian waved his hand, "Don't worry, we have our responsibilities, and they have their responsibilities."

Ying Xiaoyou knew a little about Hu Qian's supernatural powers, so when he heard what he said, he nodded and urged everyone to move forward.

After walking a few steps, when I looked back, the four people had disappeared.

When they arrived at the station, Yicheng immediately went out to greet him.

Hu Qian was slightly surprised when he saw it.

This person turned out to be the one led by the four strange women from earlier.

When I looked closely, I saw that his soul had already left, leaving only a body standing here.

Since those four people were not ghosts, maybe the Yicheng Yang had reached the end of his life, so it was not easy for Hu Qian to intervene.

After arranging the board and lodging for everyone, Yi Cheng personally prepared wine and food for Hu Qian and Ying Xiaoyou.

During the chat, Ying Xiaoyou suddenly mentioned the four strange people he saw just now, and asked Yi Cheng if he knew what was going on.

Yi Cheng said: "To tell you the truth, the two adults, I have heard it before, this is called 'Zou Wu Chang'."

Hu Qian asked curiously, "What does this mean?"

Yicheng said: "The old man said that the underworld is like the world. Sometimes there are not enough officials, so they recruit people from the world to help, and they are still released after the work is done, which is called 'Zouwuchang'."

Ying Xiaoyou looked at Hu Qian and said, "My lord, are those four people we saw just now 'walking around impermanence'?"

Hu Qian nodded.

Yicheng smiled and said: "No one knows whether it is true or not, for example, there is a cook in this Yicheng called Li Dazui.

His mother came to give him new shoes in the afternoon, and when she saw me, she said that she dreamed that she and three people carried me to the red lacquer gate of a family in Hulizhuang, Sanshui County, to be reincarnated.

He also said that I was too heavy and almost exhausted her to death.

The two adults said it was ridiculous, and I am not sitting here properly. "

Ying Xiaoyou let out a long sigh of relief, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, "When I saw those four people just now, I was taken aback. Now that I think about it, maybe they deliberately coaxed us to play."

Yi Cheng seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Is there an old woman among the four people my lord saw?"

Ying Xiaoyou's hand stopped suddenly, "Yes... there is one."

Yi Cheng's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he said in a trembling voice, "What... does it look like?"

When Hu Qian heard this, he immediately felt something was wrong, and was about to stop her when Ying Xiaoyou had already described the appearance of the old woman.

After Yi Cheng listened, his eyes suddenly straightened, he didn't catch his breath, and lay down on the table directly.

Ying Xiaoyou was taken aback, and when she stretched out her hand to test his breath, she found that he had already...

died……
