Chapter 83 Xuxu Fox
He rattled the cage, but still couldn't break free.
He simply stopped moving and quietly observed his surroundings.
This looks like the residence of a wealthy family, with exquisite houses and clean courtyards.
His pointed wolf ears twitched, and he could clearly hear the melodious sound of the piano coming from the backyard, and the aroma of wine and meat lingered in his nose.
Just as he was looking around, the door of the next room opened and orange light instantly shone on him.
He looked up and saw three people coming out.
The leader was the woman in red, who twisted her body with every step. She was clearly a vixen, but she moved like a water snake. Her eyes and eyebrows were all filled with a charming smile.
Behind her, there were two people, one tall and one short - Da Mao and Er Mao.
"Oh, Lord Xie, are you awake? Did you sleep well?" the woman in red asked with a smile.
Xie Shouzheng ignored her. His cold, wolf-like eyes fiercely stared at the two people behind her: "Da Mao, Er Mao? You actually colluded with this vixen!"
"No!" He suddenly realized, "You are not Da Mao and Er Mao! Although they are simple-minded, they are loyal to their duties and will never associate with evil monsters!"
"Da Mao" and "Er Mao" looked at each other, and their bodies suddenly turned into two thin foxes.
After seeing this, Xie Shouzheng suddenly remembered: "Xu Xu Fox! How could I forget about you?"
The Xuxu foxes have limited spiritual power, making it difficult for them to transform into humans. However, they are gifted with extraordinary talents, able to mimic the appearance and behavior of anyone they encounter, making them appear lifelike. Hence, they are called Xuxu foxes.
Even those with exceptional eyesight would find it difficult to discern the true form of the Xuxu Fox.
A few years ago, Xuxuhu caused trouble in Fengxian County and actually imitated the parents of the county magistrate, and spent more than half a year in the county magistrate's home comfortably.
Later, when Xuanjingsi sent Da Mao and Er Mao to the county magistrate's office to deliver official documents, they happened to see him.
Da Mao and Er Mao have poor eyesight and rely entirely on their noses to sense their surroundings.
After sniffing around, they suddenly asked the county magistrate in confusion, "Sir, why do you call two foxes daddy and mommy?"
Later, with the full efforts of the Xuanjing Division, the two Xuxu foxes were captured and brought to justice.
In this case, the county magistrate's parents suffered a miserable fate. They were locked in a cupboard by the two little foxes and had to survive on a little steamed bun and water every day. When they were rescued after the incident, the old couple were just skin and bones.
The county magistrate was so angry that he almost killed Xuxu Fox.
However, when it comes to strange cases, local officials are unable to intervene and can only leave it to the Xuanjing Division to handle.
The chief officer of the local Xuanjing Division sentenced him to ten years in prison, considering that no casualties were caused and the social impact was not great.
Generally speaking, the case was not too big, but the Xuxu Fox was a special kind of monster, and the case was reported to the capital.
At that time, Xie Shouzheng still had a clear memory after reading the case file.
Not long after they were brought to justice, the two Xuxu foxes suddenly escaped from prison again.
Although they are weak, the ability to change into other people's appearance at will still poses a great instability.
After escaping from prison, the Xuanjing Division issued a nationwide arrest warrant. Unfortunately, they were like a drop in the ocean, and no trace of them could be found.
Unexpectedly, these two Xuxu foxes did not escape far away, but were lurking in Fengnian County.
"Strange, why didn't I smell the scent of fox on you before?" Xie Shouzheng was a little confused.
You know, a wolf's sense of smell is more sensitive than a mole's.
Da Mao and Er Mao had both been able to detect Xu Xu Fox's flaws by their sense of smell. It was unbelievable that Xie Shouzheng hadn't noticed it this time.
One of the Xuxu foxes waved its paws and said proudly, "Every failure makes you wiser. I was caught before, so of course I have to be more cautious this time!"
The woman in red smiled and said, "We've caused such a big commotion in Fengnian County. The local authorities will definitely notify the Xuanjing Division to handle it."
"So I arranged for Xuxu Fox to walk along the route the officials had to take, pretending to encounter them by chance. To avoid their scent giving them away, they even stole the mole brothers' urine and smeared it on their bodies to mask the fox's scent. They even stole Damao and Ermao's snares."
When the only flaw was repaired, even Xie Shouzheng did not notice the fake pair.
Last night, the Xuxu fox brothers, dressed as Damao and Ermao, pretended to be guards of the Xuanjing Division and wandered the streets looking for targets.
Last night, they initially wanted to capture Xie Shouzheng, Lin Qingyue and Dongfang Qi.
Unexpectedly, Xie Shouzheng recognized Damao and Ermao at a glance.
The fox was naturally cunning. After a few words of pretending to be dumb, he finally figured out Xie Shouzheng's identity. Knowing that he was a high-ranking official from the capital, he did not dare to confront him easily.
So the Xuxuhu brothers deliberately took them to the county government office. After witnessing the woman in red killing someone, they pretended to arrest her.
They used this method to trick Xie Shouzheng away and avoid direct confrontation.
Unexpectedly, Xie Shouzheng came back halfway, and happened to see the woman in red, and followed her here.
The woman in red smiled seductively, "If we were to fight head-on, the three of us wouldn't be your match. But you chose to cross our path instead of taking the path to heaven. We used a hallucinogenic drug, which humans use to treat monsters, to reveal your true form, significantly reducing your strength."
"Now..." She kicked the iron cage and said fearlessly, "Master Xie from the capital, you never thought that one day you would become a caged beast, right?"
After Xie Shouzheng roughly understood the situation, he was no longer panicked. He knew that Lin Qingyue and the Crown Prince were still outside and would definitely notice his disappearance.
But we still need to save ourselves right now.
So he used his special skills to patiently persuade the Xuxu Fox brothers: "You two haven't committed any serious crimes before, so you were only sentenced to a few years in prison. But this Red Fox has blood on her hands. You colluded with her, which is a serious crime! It's not too late to repent now. Don't bring about your own destruction!"
"Xu Xu Hu, if you two brothers can redeem yourself from your crimes and apprehend the culprit, I will give you a lighter sentence! At most, you'll be imprisoned for a few years, and then you can regain your freedom and live peacefully as demons!"
"Damn it!" The woman in red was furious. She kicked Xie Shouzheng, wolf and cage alike, sending him tumbling over. "You're not afraid of death, yet you dare to incite my people to rebel?"
As she spoke, she turned around again and glared at the Xuxu Fox brothers fiercely: "Could it be that he persuaded you?"
