"Okay, okay. I've actually already seen the situation. You two are both famous chivalrous men in Jiangnan. You've always done good deeds and helped the people, leaving behind a good reputation. Why would I arrest you?" Qin Yuesheng smiled. "But this teahouse collapsed because of you. It's not easy for the owner to make money. Don't you have to show some appreciation?"
"Oh, oh, oh! I understand. I understand." Zhang Qiushan said immediately, "I will pay for the reconstruction of the teahouse."
"Hero Zhang is indeed heroic. I feel relieved now." Qin Yuesheng looked at him meaningfully, then left with Xun Sheng.
Watching Qin Yuesheng's departing figure, Zhang Qiushan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. "When did such a powerful young official appear in Qingyang City? He was able to defeat Situ Xing with a single blow. He's a master of the second level of the Inner Strength Realm."
Huang Ling looked at Qin Yuesheng with some envy: "In the past, the senior brothers and sisters in the villa all said that I was a genius in martial arts. Now it seems that I am not a genius at all. At most, I am just a stone that was stepped on by the genius."
"Hey, Young Master Huang, why are you so self-deprecating? I bet your future achievements won't be too bad."
"Thanks to your kind words, Master Zhang, let's go and pay the money first."
"Yes, yes, go and pay the money first."
…
In the dark prison, the only light came from the fire in the brazier.
Qin Yuesheng stood in a cell at the deepest part, looking at Situ Xing who was tied to an iron frame.
"Sir Qin, this is what we found on the prisoner." The jailer handed a letter to Qin Yuesheng.
On the front of the envelope, there were eight large characters written in calligraphy: 'Demon Slaying Conference - Qiu Shui Family'. However, they were a bit blurry, and it was hard to understand what they meant at first.
Qin Yuesheng opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and began to examine it.

Hero Situ:
There have been many activities of members of the Demon Cult in Jiangnan recently. Our disciples have captured two of them and learned that the reason they appeared in Jiangnan this time was for the secret treasure of the Sword Tomb. It is rumored that the secret treasure of the Sword Tomb contains a peerless magic skill and a peerless sword, which were left by the Sword Saint Bai Yue. We in the Jiangnan martial arts world must not let such treasures fall into the hands of the people of the Demon Cult. The Qiu Shui family specially invites you to a banquet before the fifth of next month to discuss important matters with fellow Jiangnan martial artists.
The autumn is here, and the autumn is heavy.
Autumn water is the home of the people, and water is the common people.

"It turned out to be an invitation letter." Qin Yuesheng suddenly realized.
Situ Xing looked at Qin Yuesheng seriously: "You and those two are old friends."
"no."
"Then why did you only arrest me and not them?"
"Because you're the only one who dares to attack me. If you dare to attack a court official, who else should I arrest?" Qin Yuesheng waved the letter in his hand: "Where is this Qiu Shui family? Tell me about it."
"I said, can you let me go?"
"Copy all the martial arts and techniques you've practiced for me. If I confirm they are correct, I'll let you go immediately."
"Bah! You dog official, you wish!" Situ Xing became furious when he heard that Qin Yuesheng was planning to take his martial arts.
The martial arts he learned were not the common folk martial arts, but the second-rate skills passed down from generation to generation in his Situ family, which had never been passed on to outsiders.
A martial artist family like Situ Xing is extremely concerned about the inheritance of martial arts, so how could they agree to Qin Yuesheng's request?
"You'd better think it over carefully. If you don't agree, you'll be locked up in this dark prison for the rest of your life. I'm still young and have plenty of time to waste with you." Qin Yuesheng stood up and shook the letter in his hand. "I'll give you three days. No more waiting."
Qin Yuesheng really wanted to learn Situ Xing's skill of sucking people away. If he could learn it, it would become much easier for him to catch people or take things from a distance in the future.
As soon as he walked out of the prison, Xun Sheng came over with two files and handed them to Qin Yuesheng with a smile: "Master Qin, these are strange incidents around Qingyang City that Master Bai hadn't been able to resolve before. He asked me to hand them over to you as a handover."
Qin Yuesheng was stunned: "Bai Hao still has a mess left? So many people from the Seven Stars Prison came this time, shouldn't they have solved it all?"
"The masters of the Seven Stars Prison have been busy with the sealing these days, so they naturally have no time to deal with the strange things happening around them."
"Let me take a look." Qin Yuesheng took the files and flipped through them briefly. Judging from the descriptions on the two files, they didn't seem to involve anything too serious. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it when I have time."
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Qin."
…
Jixiang Town is a town with a huge population. If the imperial court had not approved the memorials submitted by Jixiang Town, Jixiang Town would have long been separated from Qingyang City and upgraded from a town to a city.
In recent days, a nationwide panic has been happening in Jixiang Town. Every night, children go missing in the town, ranging from ten-year-old children to babies of a few months old.
The parents of the lost children called all their relatives to search inside and outside Jixiang Town, but there was no progress. Those children seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and completely disappeared in Jixiang Town.
With no success, other parents naturally increased their supervision of their children at night. Most people let their children sleep in the middle of the bed, with the parents tightly surrounding the children on the left and right. In this way, if anyone came to steal the child again, they would have no way to do it.
However, such cautious behavior still could not prevent the children from getting lost. When they woke up the next day and saw that their children were no longer in the bed, these parents all went crazy. They either cried every day or ran around everywhere just to find their children.
Under such circumstances, the once peaceful Jixiang Town was completely shrouded in panic.
Many parents went directly to the town's blacksmith shop to make chains, and handcuffed their own hands and feet together with their children's hands and feet in an attempt to protect their children.
But it was like there was a ghost at work in the dark, and even handcuffs and leg irons couldn't stop what was going to happen.
To this day, children still disappear quietly every night in Jixiang Town.
