Chapter 45 You didn't call me that before!
Someone once said that two men and one woman is the gender combination with the most stories.
Especially when the woman is very beautiful.
The carriage with the Xuanjingsi tiger and dragon flag flying on it was speeding along the official road, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was indeed a bit subtle.
Zhou Cheng looked at Xu Qingwan, then at Wei Changtian, and touched his head awkwardly.
"Well, this mission... is pretty easy."
“…”
Neither of them responded, especially Wei Changtian, who didn't know what to say at this moment.
Although Kong Changgui just said that this time it was mainly to familiarize himself with the work flow and rhythm.
But three Silver Leaves going against a group of pheasants...it's indeed a bit outrageous.
If we go too late, I'm afraid that all the pheasant monsters will be killed by the local villagers.
well……
Wei Changtian sighed and was about to change the subject.
But Zhou Cheng suddenly remembered something at this moment, and his face suddenly became excited.
"By the way, Brother Wei, I heard about your poetry surpassing that of the poet saint on the flower boat last night!"
"Huh? It spread so quickly?" Wei Changtian was a little surprised.
"That's not the case."
Zhou Cheng clapped his hands and smiled, "I heard it from my brother when I went out this morning."
"He usually likes to hang out with that bunch of sour scholars, and this morning while eating, he kept muttering something like 'thinking about clothes'."
"I thought he wanted to buy new clothes, so I asked him about it, and then I found out that it was a poem written by Brother Wei."
"I heard that all the scholars in the capital are spreading this poem now!"
“…”
Wei Changtian thought that since there were no social software in those days, it must have been hard work for this group of people to be able to spread the message so quickly.
When he thought about how he would soon become famous in the Daning poetry world, stepping on the Sage Poet and punching the Immortal Poet... he couldn't help but feel a little carried away when he spoke.
"Brother Zhou, it's just a poem, not worth mentioning."
"Being able to write poetry can't make a living. There's no other benefit except that you may not have to pay for visiting brothels in the future."
"!!!"
Zhou Cheng was fine at first, but now that he heard that he didn't have to pay to visit a brothel, he instantly felt envious and admired: "Brother Wei, you're amazing! Although I'm just a warrior and don't understand poetry, I understand what kind of ability it takes to make an Oiran look at you with a twinkle in the eye."
He moved closer and asked expectantly, "Brother Wei, what does Miss Liu Shi taste like?"
"Hi!"
Wei Changtian waved his hand: "Nothing special about her. Apart from being prettier, she is no different from an ordinary woman."
"How beautiful is that? Is she as pretty as General Xu?"
"General Xu?"
Wei Changtian's heart skipped a beat and his face froze instantly.
He turned his head with great embarrassment and looked at Xu Qingwan, only to see that the latter was also looking at him calmly.
His thin lips parted slightly, his tone calm.
"Oiran? Didn't you go out drinking yesterday?"
"Well, I was drinking with the Oiran..."
"oh."
Xu Qingwan closed her eyes and stopped talking, and when Zhou Cheng saw the two of them like this, he didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't hold back his inner curiosity and whispered again: "Brother Wei, tell me in detail how it feels."
"I will never have this blessing in my life, just let me enjoy it."
"After listening to you, I now know what it feels like to ride that courtesan..."
Wei Changtian: “???”
…
Shanyang County is the county farthest from the city. Behind it is a big mountain called "Wanglong". It is said that one can vaguely see the capital city from the top of the mountain.
Wei Changtian and his two companions set out at 4 p.m., and it was already dusk when they arrived at the Shanyang County Government Office.
After the carriage stopped, Zhou Cheng was the first to jump out and took two deep breaths of fresh air.
The atmosphere along the way was too depressing, which made him feel very depressed.
Wei Changtian looked at Xu Qingwan, whose eyes were closed, and finally reminded her, "General Xu, we have arrived."
Her beautiful eyes slowly opened, Xu Qingwan glanced at him, then bent down and got out of the car, leaving only one sentence.
"You used to call me Miss Xu."
“…”
The vinegar taste is really strong.
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian was the last one to get off the carriage, while Zhou Cheng had already started to exchange pleasantries with two constables from Shanyang County, one tall and one short.
Seeing Wei Changtian coming out, he quickly introduced them: "You two, this is General Wei, the son of the commander of the Xuanjing Division."
"Wei, Master Wei?"
The smiles of the two detectives gradually disappeared, and judging from the movement of their legs, they were about to kneel down and salute on the spot.
Damn, he has a bad reputation.
Wei Changtian hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, brothers. We are all working for the government."
"Let's talk about the case first."
“…”
The two constables were stunned, as if they were wondering why Wei Changtian was different from what was rumored.
But they soon reacted and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, Master Wei, ah, there are two more adults, please come this way..."
"I will report this to the magistrate immediately. Please wait for a moment..."
“…”
He is quite capable of handling things, but do you need to meet the magistrate to handle such a small case?
If this continues, it will probably become a public-funded tour...
Wei Changtian was a little helpless, Zhou Cheng was secretly happy, and Xu Qingwan was indifferent.
The three of them went into the reception room of the county government and sat for a while, and then they soon met the magistrate of Shanyang County.
The county magistrate, who spoke with a southern accent, was more direct. As soon as he entered the door, he asked the three of them to have dinner. Finally, under Wei Changtian's insistence, he agreed to discuss the case first.
"My lords, according to the villagers who reported to the police, this group of chicken monsters have appeared for several months, but they have never hurt anyone before, so they just thought they were ordinary wild animals that had grown a little bigger and didn't pay much attention to them."
The tall policeman who just reported the confession of the person to the authorities continued, "But just a few days ago, a boy in the village was blinded by a chicken demon, and a man was pecked to death while taking a nap in the field at noon. Well, the local villagers only then realized that something was wrong with that object..."
"The villagers spontaneously surrounded and killed the monsters. They killed two of them, but the rest escaped..."
"The two dead chicken demons both had demon cores the size of a fingernail in their heads, so we infer that their cultivation should be less than five years..."
The case was reported quickly.
The situation is basically the same as what is described in the case file, with not much difference.
However, Wei Changtian had a question.
"Why didn't the villagers report to the police immediately after they realized that the pheasants had turned into monsters? Instead, they surrounded and killed them themselves?"
"this……"
The tall constable looked embarrassed, and the magistrate who was waiting on the side took over the conversation and explained:
"Master Wei doesn't know."
"Although according to the law, if you encounter a monster, you must report it to the police immediately, but in reality, if the monster is not very powerful, most people will not report it to the police."
"Why is that?"
"It's for the demon pill."
The magistrate replied: "If you report it to the government, the demon pill will belong to the government. But if you don't report it and kill the demon secretly, the demon pill will be yours."
"Take the chicken demon this time for example. Although the demon pill is very small, it can still be exchanged for a few coins."
"Hmm?" Wei Changtian asked again: "Aren't they afraid that they might not be able to kill the monster but lose their lives instead?"
"Of course I'm afraid, but..."
The magistrate smiled bitterly and said no more, and Wei Changtian now understood what he meant.
In fact, it is not just the strong who do not take the lives of the weak seriously.
Sometimes, the weak will not take their own lives seriously.
In this respect, there is no difference between past and present lives.
