That night, after Zhang San fell asleep, Su Rui asked the officer on duty for the cell key and quietly took off the jade pendant from his waist.
When he woke up the next day and looked at Zhang San, he had turned into a cold corpse.
There was a gray-black pinch mark on his neck, probably because he was strangled to death by two female ghosts.
In fact, if he had not committed so many evil deeds and was not surrounded by the female ghost all day long, corroded by her negative energy and lost his vigilance, the female ghost would not have been able to kill him in this way.
Not to mention martial artists with sufficient qi and blood, even ordinary mortals can clearly sense when ghosts are approaching. Unless they are at the level of a fierce ghost, ordinary ghosts can only use methods such as covering people's eyes with ghosts or illusions to cause accidents, and have no way to kill people directly.
The two female ghosts yesterday were able to kill people directly, and they had obviously reached the level of evil spirits.
Su Rui also sighed about this. Zhang San's sin was so serious that he turned the two maids into evil spirits.
When the jailer saw the scattered bodies, he immediately sent someone to report the situation to Magistrate Su.
The officer on duty yesterday was also at the scene. He looked at Su Rui meaningfully, but because Zhang San was still alive when Su Rui returned the cell key yesterday, and now he was strangled to death, the stranglehold on his neck was long and cold, which obviously did not seem to be done by Su Rui, so he did not dare to say anything.
Zhang San's death sparked speculation and panic among the prisoners, but this was quickly suppressed by the jailer and his guards, and Zhang San's body was carried out.
For Su Rui, this matter is over.
Si hour.
Magistrate Su hurried to the prison with a group of officials and announced that any criminal with a minor sentence who was willing to participate in hunting the monster would be exempted from punishment and could also receive the reward according to the order.
The prisoners were attracted by the bounty, especially the martial artists from other places who came here to become famous or make a fortune, and they immediately expressed their desire to sign up.
Magistrate Su was very busy. After announcing the decree, he only met with Su Rui, asked him to pack up and return to the inner courtyard, and then hurriedly left the prison again.
With the issuance of the bounty order, the atmosphere in the entire prison became restless.
Following their superiors' orders, the officers asked each prisoner to sign a pledge to participate in the demon hunt. Once they signed and pledged, they would be released and kindly directed to the City God Temple to receive a protective amulet before leaving the city to hunt.
They are not afraid that these prisoners will cheat. They are prisoners with minor sentences and will be released after a few days. If they cheat and their reputation is ruined, it will be a loss!
Besides, warriors value their promises. As the saying goes, a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. A promise is worth one thousand and two pieces of gold!
Being bound by fame and fortune, why would you still run?
There's nothing we can do about it, just put it on the wanted list!
Being able to return to normal life, Su Rui did not insist on staying.
He didn't bring anything with him when he came, so he naturally didn't have anything to pack when he left, but there were a few people he needed to say goodbye to.
He first came to the cell of the burly man Li Tong, and seeing him packing his bags, he knew that he had signed up to hunt monsters.
Seeing Su Rui coming over, he thought Su Rui had also signed up, so he invited him, "Brother, the monsters are powerful. You're alone, why don't you join me? I have a few fellow disciples out there. If we hunt together, even if we don't get anything, it'll be safer!"
"Thank you for the invitation, brother. I have a partner out there and haven't decided yet whether to participate! I'll discuss it with my partner. If he decides to participate, I'll go find you to form a partnership!" Su Rui clasped his fists in gratitude. He could tell that this guy had asked him to join purely out of loyalty, without considering his fighting ability.
The two then exchanged contact addresses and said goodbye.
Li Tong hadn't reacted to Su Rui's contact address when he first received it. It wasn't until Su Rui left that he realized: Why was this young man living in the county government office? Could he be a servant there? Was he imprisoned for committing a crime? This thought seemed to make sense, and he hadn't considered the possibility of the yamen being imprisoned.
After saying goodbye to Li Tong, Su Rui came to Old Man Wei.
He had made Old Man Wei angry yesterday and had asked the jailer to prepare a table of food and wine for Old Man Wei, but he didn't dare to chat with him in person.
At this time, Old Man Wei was playing Go with Old Man Zhao Zhuan across the wooden fence of the cell.
When he saw Su Rui coming over, he didn't even look at him, but just snorted coldly.
Su Rui didn't care, but said sincerely:
"Grandpa Wei, Grandpa Zhao, I've been released from prison today and I've come to say goodbye to you two!"
"Grandpa, if you two are in Tongqu County, you can come find me if you need anything. I live in the county government office!"
Old man Wei pretended not to hear, but old man Zhao Zhuan nodded and said "goodbye".
Su Rui clasped his fists and said "Goodbye", then turned and left.
After Su Rui left, old man Zhao Zhuan said to old man Wei:
"Leader, this kid has such a good heart, and he lives in the county government office. Could he be the child of County Magistrate Su?"
Old Man Wei sighed, "Judging from his words and actions, he must be a yamen official... He's a good boy, but it's a pity he doesn't want to be my disciple!"
"Alliance leader, it would be a shame if such a good child were to be admitted to Dalin Temple!"
"Isn't he trying to learn the Golden Bell Cover? Why don't you go to Dalin Temple and get some, and then teach him..."
"In this way, you can accept him as your disciple and inherit your teachings, and he can also learn the Golden Bell Cover he desires. It's the best of both worlds!"
After old man Zhao Zhuan recognized Old Man Wei, he wanted to trick this great master into going out to fight in the martial arts world again, so that he could follow behind with his disciples to curry favor with him. Seeing the opportunity, he tried his best to encourage him.
