"Help? We in the Xu family don't need help."
"That's right. To get rid of a Ghost King, we have to sacrifice a drop of Golden Crow blood. Xu Tong, as a clan secret guard, don't you know how precious Golden Crow blood is? They in the Huangquan Division are even more deceitful than the Taoist monks."
"I've heard of Kong Han'an too. He's just a poor scholar who got lucky enough to be favored by Hou Tu. What kind of abilities can he have?"
"The Patriarch came to visit three times and was turned away three times. Who the hell does he think he is, to be so rude to the Patriarch?"
"Perhaps some people are incompetent and are colluding with outsiders to steal family resources."
Xu Tong was at a loss for words and couldn't explain himself clearly.
He couldn't say that all this was a tacit understanding between the head of the family and Mr. Kong, right?
When Kong Hanan arrived on horseback, he heard these words.
Kong Hanan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"I'm Kong Han'an, the deputy envoy of the Huangquan Division. Sorry, I'm late. Let's not talk about the Golden Crow Blood for now. We have to deal with that female ghost."
The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. The Xu family has been multiplying for so many years, and the entire Yaoshan Town is related to the Xu family. There will always be people who are jealous.
Kong Hanan understood, so he was too lazy to argue with them. He would wait until Xu Tong got back Xu Meng's secret order, and then everything would naturally come true.
Now he only wanted to find the female ghost and Wu Zhen. He had gone through all these bumpy journeys just to catch them by surprise.
"That female ghost? By the time you guys from Huangquansi arrive, the flowers will be cold."
Someone in the crowd scoffed.
"Huang Quansi really accepts everyone. This scholar clearly doesn't look capable."
"The horse he rides is indeed a fine one, and the dog he leads is also strong, but wearing a fox fur scarf in this hot weather and leading the dog makes him look like a show-off. He must have paid for his position."
"You look like a nouveau riche. That scarf doesn't match your clothes at all."
Someone else was talking in a low voice.
The scarf is a cover for the old fox's transformation. Gou Qi and Ma Mian have tried their best to restrain their spirit, just to avoid disturbing mortals.
It’s nothing to say, but Kong Hanan is an official now, and even if this is Xu’s territory, he cannot be humiliated.
These words set him up.
Kong Hanan's eyes were like swords, sweeping over and ready to attack.
"shut up!"
A loud shout from an old man came from outside the crowd.
"Deputy Envoy Kong is an official of the imperial court. How can he tolerate your gossip?"
Everyone bowed their heads in greeting, even Xu Tong lowered his head.
"Elder."
"Meet the elders."
…
In a large family like the Xu family, the patriarch is only a representative, and there is a group of people in the family who have the final say, namely the elders.
These people may be branches of the main family, may have made outstanding contributions to the family, or may be the previous patriarch who chose to retire due to age.
In short, they are all elderly people who are highly respected in the clan.
Kong Hanan had to dismount to greet him.
Ever since Confucius brought Confucianism to the imperial court, people have become more and more particular about etiquette. Officials can be polite to anyone, but they cannot put on airs towards people over seventy years old.
"Why bother coming out, old man? I'll come and visit you in person."
The old man walked up to Kong Hanan and returned the greeting respectfully.
"Deputy Envoy Kong, thank you for making this special trip, but that female ghost was eliminated by a master last night."
Tu Shanhong transmitted a message: "General, you miscalculated! Wu Zhen was able to predict the death of those leopard spirits, so he must be trying to silence them."
Kong Hanan narrowed his eyes.
"Who is this expert? And where did you find the female ghost? Could you please arrange for someone to take me to see her?"
Kill the ghost? Cut off the clues? Waste of time?
Does not exist.
The Black and White Impermanence are good at unraveling the mystery, Gou Qili is good at tracking and pursuing, but Kong Hanan didn't believe that the other party could escape in such a hurry.
The old man didn't expect Kong Hanan to be so persistent. It was only when Xu Tong reminded him in a low voice that the old man realized that they had been sniped by the Witch God Temple in the middle of the night.
The old man's expression also became serious.
He knew that the imperial court was suppressing local tyrants, and that Kong Hanan would be happy to face a setback, but he knew the importance of both.
"The master is staying at Xu's house temporarily. Please ask her to come out and explain it to you in detail."
A sweet hum was heard, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley.
"Hmph, there's no need to trouble the Deputy Envoy. I'm here on my own."
Kong Hanan turned his head and saw a petite girl with a delicate face, standing barefoot with bells on her wrists and ankles.
The girl's clothes were quite bold, and Kong Hanan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that her old shoulders were very slippery.
"My name is Zheng Xiaoxiao, a descendant of the Zheng family from Minnan County. I traveled here and took action against the evil spirits that were causing trouble. Do you have any questions?"
Although Taoism is the dominant sect among cultivators in this world, it is not the only sect. To introduce oneself in this way does not seem to be a Taoist sect.
Some powerful people also have their own martial arts skills passed down from generation to generation.
"General, she's probably not Wu Zhen. I've seen Wu Zhen before. Although she hides under a black robe and her face is unclear, she's tall and has a male voice. If I want to tell her apart, I need to fight her."
The old fox transmitted the message.
Kong Hanan nodded slightly and asked Zheng Xiaoxiao.
"What realm is that female ghost in? Why is she causing trouble?"
Zheng Xiaoxiao pouted and replied, "You rushed here so hastily that you don't even know the other party's strength. What kind of Huangquan Division did the imperial court just establish?"
"Please answer my question directly."
"That female ghost is in the early stage of the Ghost King Realm. Her combat power is average and she is good at hiding. She was created by resentment from hundreds of years ago and wants to use the blood essence of the Xu family to seek revenge. Our Zheng family is the best at tracking her. She can't avoid me."
"When and where did they fight, and why did the other party escape the seal?"
