Bai Hao was also exhausted.
Originally, he came to Qingyang City this time to investigate the haunted incident in Fu'an Hutong reported by Xun Sheng, and he also brought one of his apprentices with him to practice.
Who would have thought that his apprentice went out to investigate the day before yesterday and has not returned yet for some reason. Before he could even investigate the incident in Fu'an Hutong, another even more serious murder occurred in Qingyang City.
It really makes people feel a bit overwhelmed.
"Lord Xun, have you sent out all the officers and detectives who can be dispatched to search the whole city?" Bai Hao asked.
Xun Sheng immediately nodded and said, "Of course."
"This isn't enough. We can't find the killer's whereabouts quickly enough, so we need to be prepared to protect the rest of the people from harm. Issue a notice recruiting all the warriors in the city to temporarily join the government for night patrols. The salary is... three taels of silver a day."
Xun Sheng was slightly shocked. This was a huge amount.
But he quickly agreed: "Yes, I'll do it right away."
After Xun Sheng left, Bai Hao took out a jade pendant from his bosom. Looking at it, he couldn't help but feel worried. "Although Wan'er is quite powerful, she hasn't returned yet. There's no news from her. Could she have met with an accident? This Qingyang City is really a troubled place."
…
The government's announcement of recruiting people with a salary of three taels of silver a day was like a bombshell, causing a sensation in the entire Qingyang City.
Three taels a day, that’s thirty taels in ten days. If you calculate it over a longer period of time, it’s not a small amount.
Many people who practice martial arts cannot earn this amount in a day even if they work as bodyguards, security guards, or do other businesses.
As a result, the area outside the Qingyang City government office suddenly became bustling with activity, and a large number of men, women, old and young, strong and thin came to sign up.
There were really huge crowds of people at that time.
But Xun Sheng didn't just recruit people casually. He wanted warriors, people who practiced martial arts and had strength.
In addition to the brave men who will take risks when there is a huge reward, there will also be many people who will try to pass themselves off as genuine and fill in the numbers.
For such people, Xun Sheng directly threw out three tests as the threshold. People without real strength really cannot knock on the door of Yi Er San Liang.
1. Lift an 80-jin stone lock with one hand.
2. Lift a 200-jin iron ball with both hands.
3. Demonstrate a skill.
These three assessments directly helped Xun Sheng eliminate many people.
In the end, a total of 55 warriors were recruited, including 4 external forging warriors.
Even though Xun Sheng was the prefect of Qingyang City, he couldn't help but feel anxious after recruiting so many people. He wanted to catch the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to pay a lot of silver every day. Who could bear it?
The recruited warriors do not have to work during the day. They are mainly responsible for patrolling Qingyang City at night and helping the police to prevent the murderer from committing crimes at night.
Judging from the murderer's modus operandi over the past two days, his strength must be very strong, so three taels of silver a day can be considered as gambling with one's life.
If you can live until tomorrow, then you'll earn another three taels.
If you happen to meet the murderer and die at his hands, I'm sorry, but these three taels are the money the government gives you for your life.
With the recent continuous occurrence of family massacres, the entire Qingyang City has become much more gloomy. Except for those who have to go out to work and earn money to support their families, basically, families with a little bit of money have their servants do anything that requires going out.
The situation was even more exaggerated at night. The business of those shady and willow places all suffered a huge impact at night. Basically, except for those who were horny, no one dared to go out easily.
Qin Yuesheng was also given a rare ban by Qin Feng, not being allowed to go out at night.
The entire Qingyang City was shrouded in a city-wide fear because of the family annihilation case, and everyone was in danger.
This incident affected many people, and the most confused one was Jiang Taicang.
at night.
Jiang Taicang sat alone on the bed in the room, holding his head and rubbing his hair, his appearance and behavior revealing a hint of madness.
"How could this happen? I don't have any impression of this happening at all."
Flipping through his little notebook filled with records of various chance encounters, Jiang Taicang tried to find a connection with the family annihilation case, but the result disappointed him, he found nothing.
In other words, the Qingyang City family massacre case has gone beyond Jiang Taicang's original memory. This is a completely new thing.
"Damn, the original things have changed again." Jiang Taicang stuffed the small notebook into his arms, his face full of anxiety.
He was very worried that if things continued like this, the future might no longer be the one he knew. In that case, everything he knew would be meaningless, and all the chance encounters and chance encounters would be in vain.
At this time, outside the Jiang Mansion.
A dark shadow walked out from a nearby alley.
He was like a dog, constantly sniffing around, and finally got closer and closer to the Jiang Mansion.
The four guards standing at the gate immediately felt something was wrong. This person's behavior was really strange.
A guard immediately shouted, "Who are you? Get out of here!"
Then the figure slowly pulled down a piece of rag covering his head, revealing a man with two horns on his forehead, a green face and fangs, and a face covered with green scales.
"Monster, monster, it's a monster!"
The four guards were suddenly frightened and subconsciously raised the iron rods in their hands.
The man sniffed the door several times and instantly couldn't help but grin: "That's it! You're right here!"
