Chapter 36 The second red opportunity! Xu Gongfu in the north of the city!
Inside the tent.
Jiang Chen looked at the businessman Yin Chou with a hint of pity and said in a deep voice:
"I will try my best to help you find the murderer, but I also need you to give more information. Just a smell of fishy smell may not be enough for me to send people to search the whole city. Besides..."
There was a look of pain on Yin Qiu's face, as if all the energy in his body had disappeared at this moment, and he said bitterly:
"I understand what you mean, my daughter is probably no longer alive, so..."
After a few seconds of silence, Yin Qiu's slightly weathered middle-aged face gradually revealed a hint of hatred that penetrated into his bones:
"As long as your Excellency can kill the murderer, I am willing to help you connect with the local big business. As long as you get their support, you can stabilize the situation in Dongli as soon as possible, right?"
Jiang Chen pondered for a while. If local forces could cooperate, whether it was public security, building granaries, or raising military rations, the difficulty would be greatly reduced.
and.
If a corpse demon is allowed to lurk in the city, it will probably cause huge chaos in a short time, and the "twenty major merits and two hundred minor merits" promised by the captain will inevitably come to nothing.
Just think of this.
Jiang Chen opened the "Little Wasteland Sutra" and turned to the last few pages to find what he needed - a simplified version of the scavenging ceremony!
A few days ago, he took the risk to start the scavenger promotion ceremony and vaguely sensed the location of dozens of high-value treasures in the city.
final,
He chose to pick up the portrait of the door god.
But thinking from another perspective, scavenging rituals naturally have the potential effect of collecting treasures!
therefore.
Zhang Baisui, the head of the old village, studied carefully for several months and designed a low-end version of the scavenging ceremony.
You only need "five ounces of lightning-struck wood + winter crickets that have survived a year of frost and snow + six ounces of wild grass" to sense the treasures in the surrounding area.
Due to the reduced intensity of the ritual, most of the time, the old village chief could only pick up some garbage and was ridiculed by others as the "Garbage Old Man", but occasionally he could find some good things in inaccessible places.
To find the real person, you only need to take the white crystal and smell the personal items with the corresponding smell.
It's like asking a hound to sniff something.
Jiang Chen smiled softly and asked:
"Can you give me some of your daughter's commonly used items, which may help with tracking."
Hear the words.
Yin Qiu was overjoyed, and immediately returned home, fetched a rattle, and said fondly: "This is my daughter's favorite toy. Every night, she must be shaken two to three hundred times before she wants to sleep."
"Well, it's very suitable."
During the time when Yin Chou returned home, Jiang Chen also sent people to find lightning-struck wood, winter crickets and weeds, and a brand new medicine jar that would soon break.
"Every time a scavenging ceremony is held, a medicine jar loses its life."
Jiang Chen smiled knowingly and reenacted exactly what he had done during the scavenger ceremony a few days ago.
soon.
The medicine jar burst into pieces with a loud roar!
Jiang Chen found small white crystals, opened his mouth and swallowed them.
Instantly.
Everything around him turned into horror at this moment, but the degree of distortion was not as serious as last time. It was just a bit similar to the Dongli Death Soldiers, and everyone seemed to have turned into ghosts.
Jiang Chen suppressed the fear in his heart, only to feel his soul swaying and falling, seeming to be closer to the earth... No, maybe it is the legendary underworld!
He couldn't help but guess in his mind:
"Perhaps it is the influence of the aura of the underworld that makes me see normal things as all kinds of terrifying things."
Jiang Chen held the rattle in his hand and asked the earth for information.
A few seconds later.
From the vast land that carries all things in the world, several indistinct messages are transmitted.
Jiang Chen inspired the "Ranger of Han", and a simple map of Dongli City immediately appeared in his mind, and based on the information obtained, he anchored the location of Yin Chou's daughter.
North of the city!
Xu Gongfu!
This is a family that defected from the David Wu Dynasty to Loulan in the Western Region. All adults in the clan are no less than eight feet tall and have a handsome appearance.
Even the last emperor of the previous dynasty favored a male named Xu and granted him the title of Duke of Xu.
The Xu family prospered for a while.
However, after the establishment of the David Wu Dynasty, Emperor David favored military generals and the art of war. He disliked the family of his former male favorites and repeatedly suppressed them.
The Xu family had no choice but to flee to the Western Regions, and has been living in Dongli City to this day.
The "Gong Wen" who had been in charge of the civil affairs of Dongli City for decades was from the Xu family. Most of the officials at all levels in Dongli City were controlled by the Xu family's descendants.
"Are they the remnants of the previous dynasty?"
Jiang Chen snorted coldly and ordered Xiaowu and the other four to stay and guard the granary. He led Gongsun Hu and the other four and immediately headed to the north of Dongli City.
And when he arrived at the gate, he suddenly remembered that he had been here before during the first scavenging ceremony, but the gate was damaged and the inside was in a mess, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
However!
Yin Chou was furious and said in a deep voice:
"Sir, this is nothing more than a cover-up!"
"The gate was deliberately destroyed and looted on the surface, but there were still dozens of Xu clan members hiding in the underground secret room. They relied on traders to secretly transport some vegetables and meat in at night, and left immediately when the city gate was completely opened.
"
Jiang Chen's mouth twitched, these Xu clan members were quite clever, and they actually knew how to use the empty city strategy, which was based on the reality of the situation and the uncertainty of the troops.
If the possible presence of corpse demons is added to the equation, the difficulty of attacking Duke Xu's Mansion may be far beyond imagination. It would be impossible for the four soldiers behind him to defeat him.
Just think of this.
Jiang Chen sent a civilian husband to rush to the military camp quickly.
…………
Inside the military camp.
As soon as he heard the word "corpse demon", Feng Lebin was so happy that he immediately summoned more than 60 Qingzhou soldiers around him and rushed to the north of the city.
The other hundred generals who stayed in the city, Fan Liangshan, could only shed tears of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Opportunities to hunt demonic creatures have always been very rare.
After all, after killing it, you will receive the blessing of the righteous spiritual light, and the intelligence of this kind of creature is only half of what it was before it was alive. It is the king of the battlefield, but in non-battlefield environments, the chance of being hunted and killed is extremely high.
Small risk, big profit!
But unfortunately, he only had a one-time relationship with "Jiang Chen, a hundred generals of the militia".
When they met, the deal was still very low. Fan Liangshan had no choice but to watch the great opportunity fall on Feng Lebin.
"It's true that stupid people are lucky!"
Fan Liangshan was extremely annoyed and said:
"If I bought Jiang Baijiang's antique calligraphy and paintings at the market price that day, I can also buy some soup today!"

…………
Inside the Central Military Camp.
Captain Zhang Ying stood at the top of the table with an expressionless face. Listening to the report of the civilians below, he said with great interest:
"I didn't expect that the last corpse demon that escaped would be hiding in Duke Xu's mansion. That kid got an advantage."
After thinking carefully for a few breaths, Zhang Ying threw out a talisman in the shape of a dagger and commanded:
"The corpse demon in its heyday was difficult to deal with. Give this item to Jiang Baijiang. After discovering traces of the corpse demon, be sure to use it as soon as possible."
The civilian husband nodded in agreement and immediately turned back.
…………
Time passes minute by minute.
Unknowingly, Duke Xu's mansion was heavily surrounded.
Five hundred civilians quickly moved all kinds of materials, and with the full support of businessman Yin Chou, a simple defense line was quickly established outside the mansion.
Even mice and birds can’t escape!
Jiang Chen even sent twelve civilians with extraordinary ears to lie down on the ground in twelve directions with Xu Gong's Mansion as the center of the circle, listening for underground movements at any time to prevent the existence of secret passages.
Without it, just keep your ears steady!
When Feng Lebin arrived with more than sixty Qingzhou soldiers, Jiang Chen touched the dagger charm in his arms and finally smiled.
Even if there is indeed a fully-grown corpse demon hidden in Duke Xu's mansion, it is still capable of fighting now!
Everything is ready.
"Gun in hand, follow me!"
Jiang Chen gave a soft drink, awakening the newly revived destiny "Defense", his body surface suddenly hardened, and he took the lead to the gate of Xu Gong's Mansion.
Instantly.
Deep in the sea of consciousness, golden light suddenly appeared:
【The second crimson opportunity is sparking!】
Chapter completed!
