Chapter 36 The Lost Dujia Village

Regardless of whether Chu Kuangren's intention was really as Fang Yi said, today's banquet did indeed wipe out the unfamiliarity among the senior executives of the Night Watch Office of Fengchi County.

After leaving the Chunyu Tower, a gust of night wind blew, Li Xun's dizzy head woke up a little. He looked back at the brightly lit Chunyu Tower, shook his head and smiled slightly.

It was already evening when I walked back to the Night Watch. Except for a few night watchmen on duty, the Night Watch seemed quite calm.

In Room No. 3, Li Xun pushed open the door and entered the room. Feng Xiaoliang secretly glanced at Li Xun. His shy attitude looked very much like a girl's house. Lu Qing, who showed his rudeness, was simply two extremes.

His eyes swept to Zheng Youwen's bed. The bed was empty, and Li Xun couldn't help but show a little doubt. According to Lu Qing's words, Zheng Youwen took over the task. It was time for him to hand over the task and he should have returned.

As if he had noticed Li Xun's gaze, Feng Xiaoliang whispered: "I went to the Recording Office not long ago to ask, Brother Zheng has not come back!"

After hearing Feng Xiaoliang say this, Li Xun couldn't help frowning. If Lu Qing and Feng Xiaoliang were not wrong, Zheng Youwen had almost three days to go on the mission. Under normal circumstances, even if something was delayed, it would be time for three days to come back.

Even the reckless Lu Qing seemed a little dull, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little solemn. No one was a fool. The night watchman was reluctant to return on his mission. This kind of thing is very common in the night watchman, but the meaning contained after he did not return is the most unacceptable.

Almost 99% of those who have not returned on time have become blood food from evil spirits. Zheng Youwen has not returned yet, which is worrying!

Li Xun glanced at the two of them and said, "Okay, it's useless to think about it here. Everyone has their own fate. If there is no news about Zheng Youwen tomorrow, I will go to the Recording Office to ask about Zheng Youwen's mission."

After resting, Lu Qing practiced the "burial scriptures" cross-legged while Feng Xiaoliang fell asleep in the bed. Li Xun was in seclusion for several days. Although he could meditate instead of rest, he could not sleep well after all.

With a little drowsy drunkenness, Li Xun fell asleep slowly.

It was getting dark, and Li Xun went to the cafeteria. At this time, he was definitely the one with the most night watchmen gathered, and figures were eating there.

The Nightmare Meal is rich, but ordinary free meals can only fill your stomach. However, for Nightmare Meals who have begun to practice magical powers and secret techniques, these ordinary meals cannot supply the needs of practice at all.

Li Xun threw one tael of silver over and brought a basin of carefully prepared food. To be precise, it should be medicinal food, which is mixed with various medicinal materials that replenish vital energy. If such a basin of medicinal food was outside, it would be impossible to eat it without a few taels. From this point of view alone, the Night Watch is actually quite good for the Night Watchers.

After leaving the canteen, Li Xun headed straight to the recording room. Now he is still in the spiritual cultivation level, so he naturally has to go through the procedures, re-register his identity, and change his waist card.

Otherwise, Li Xun could only be considered an ordinary night watchman in the Night Watch Office, rather than a real eighth-rank evil-killer.

After getting the waist card, Li Xun's identity was different. The eighth-rank evil spirit killer's identity can be regarded as a character in Fengchi County Night Watch Office.

The official responsible for exchange for Li Xun's waist cards seemed very respectful. He looked through a file with a book of files and quickly said to Li Xun: "Sir, the information about Zheng Youwen you are looking for has been found."

Li Xun raised his eyebrows, took the file from the official, glanced at the content of the task Zheng Youwen took.

"Du Xiaolian, who is 45 years old, was from Dujia Village outside the city. She went to the city a few days ago to sell her embroidered embroidery pieces and died of sudden illness."

Dujia Village is only more than twenty miles away from Fengchi County. Even with the footsteps of ordinary people, it is enough to travel back and forth in one day.

Judging from the tasks, it is very ordinary and there is nothing surprising at all. However, according to the records in the file, Zheng Youwen took the task the morning before yesterday, and two days have passed since now. With Zheng Youwen's journey, two days and two nights, it is enough to run a dozen round trips.

Li Xun was also a celebrity in the Night Watch Office. As for the blessings that Zheng Youwen asked Li Xun, he was very famous in the Night Watch Office, so the official could guess why Li Xun came to check Zheng Youwen's mission files.

The official whispered: "Mr. Li, Zheng Youwen has not returned for two days and two nights. According to past experience, Zheng Youwen is probably..."

Without the official's words, Li Xun could actually think of this. He thanked the official with a little depressed mood. Li Xun went to the record room.

Just as he was thinking about Zheng Youwen's incident, a voice suddenly came and said, "Brother Li, Brother Li, Lord Fang summoned someone to discuss matters, let's work together!"

When I looked up, I saw that it was Ma Kun, one of the three remaining evil-killing soldiers in the Fengchi County Night Watch Office.

A smile appeared on his face and said, "It turns out it's Brother Ma. I just thought about something, so please forgive me."

Ma Kun waved his hand, looked at the waist sign on Li Xun's waist and smiled, "Why should we be polite brothers? Now you are also killing evil spirits. Lord Fang summoned people to discuss matters, so we should not delay it."

Becoming the eighth-rank evil-killing sir, Li Xun had the right to participate in the handling of many affairs of the Fengchi County Night Watch Office. There were many big and small things in the Night Watch Office. The Duwei was too busy alone. In this way, many things must be left to them to deal with.

The conference hall was quite bright. When Li Xun and Ma Kun arrived, the other evil-killing soldiers were already drinking tea there, only Du Wei Fang Yi was missing.

Just as Li Xun and his two men sat down for half a cup of tea, they saw Fang Yi strode in and nodded slightly at Li Xun when his eyes fell on Li Xun.

Sitting directly on the main seat in the meeting hall, Fang Yi looked at everyone and said, "You are calling everyone to come today, but it is related to a case that was transferred from the county government yesterday."

As he said that, Fang Yi took out a case from his cuff and handed it to Lu Si who was sitting in the lower left head. Lu Si took the ten lines of his eyes and swept it over, frowned slightly and passed it to others.

When the file was delivered to Ma Kun, Ma Kun grinned and said, "I don't know a big word Ma, and I can't understand it either. You will tell me what's going on later."

There were actually two evil-killers like Ma Kun. There were as many as eight evil-killers in the lobby, but the illiterate ones accounted for three, almost 40% of the illiterate rate.

The eighth-rank official of the Great Huan actually didn't know a single word. This was a special institution like the Night Watch. If it were in the court, the eighth-rank official was still a county magistrate. I dare not say that he was very talented. The talent of a Jinshi must at least have fame and fortune.

Fortunately, Li Xun recognized the name and did not become illiterate with Ma Kun and others. When he took over the case, he looked at it.

The case was actually reported by Dujiacun Village that in the past half month, livestock in Dujiacun had been missing inexplicably. The livestock were locked in the cage circle. As a result, overnight, the cage circle opened and the livestock disappeared inexplicably.

At first, the villagers just thought that thieves were stealing, so they spontaneously organized the villagers to patrol the night. However, the livestock should be thrown away. Until someone began to disappear inexplicably, Dujia Village realized something was wrong and immediately sent someone to the Bing County Office.

If only a few livestock were lost, it would be fine, but if some people were missing, it would be an ordinary case. The county government immediately sent several constables to check it out. However, unexpectedly, just the day before yesterday, Dujia Village would submit it to investigate the case every day to suddenly break it.

The county government did not realize that something was wrong at that time, and just thought that something had been delayed. However, yesterday, there was no case in Dujia Village. The county magistrate in charge of this matter immediately sent someone to Dujia Village to check it out, but there was no news about the man when he went there.

At this time, the county government realized that the case in Dujia Village was probably unusual, so it ordered people to hand over the case about Dujia Village to the Night Watch Office early in the morning.

Several constables lost contact, and even the news in a village was gone. This was not an ordinary case. Even Fang Yi, who was the commander of the Night Watch, did not dare to delay any delay. He immediately summoned a group of people to discuss matters.
