Chapter 57 56. Go and Return

"Senior from Guanli?"

The entire Xu family looked at the fat orange cat in Xu Qing's arms with curiosity.

Uncle Zhang bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple greets Senior Jin Hujun."

King Jinhu nodded expressionlessly. Except in front of Taoist Qingxu and his disciples, he always looked aloof.

"Let's go! Finish your work quickly and go back early!" Jin Hujun urged.

"Senior, can I come with you into town?" Old Uncle Zhang interrupted, then looked at Xu Qing, "There are people from my family in this town, I can't watch them get into trouble."

Jin Hujun glared and said, "How can I cause any trouble to the people in the town after I come here?"

"Senior, that's not what I meant." Old Zhang said quickly.

"Mr. Jinhu, let Uncle Zhang follow him in." Xu Qing echoed from the side.

"Okay, anyway, it doesn't matter if one or two follow."

King Jin Hu curled his lips. His attitude towards Xu Qing, who had proposed marriage to him and could barely be considered his temporary "master", was completely different.

"Go, go, go." Jin Hujun urged.

Xu Qing's eyes rolled around: "Jin Hujun, my family are just ordinary people, let's provide them with security. What if they are attacked when we go into the city?"

Jin Hujun rolled his eyes, but still agreed to Xu Qing's request.

With a flick of its tail, a strand of hair flew out and when it fell to the ground, it turned into an orange cat that looked exactly like Jin Hujun.

The clone of Lord Jin Hu jumped onto the armrest of the carriage and sat properly.

"It'll protect your family. Can we go now?"

"it is good!"

Xu Qing turned around and told his father and mother, "Dad and Mom, this horse has the blood of a dragon. This carriage will take you to find the fellow disciple who came with me!"

"You should stay in the carriage as much as possible. Before I come back, listen to my fellow disciple for other matters."

"Okay!" Father Xu nodded.

Xu's mother Liu Fang seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Although she was an illiterate woman, she could tell from the reactions of the crowd that what was happening in Ningyang Town was very dangerous.

As a mother, she naturally didn't want her son to go to a dangerous place.

No matter how successful her children are, her only hope is that they can be safe.

But she also knew that saying this now would only add unnecessary burden to the child.

Xu Qing saw the meaning behind his mother's hesitation and said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry. With Jin Hujun here, even if Ningyang Town is a den of dragons and tigers, it's nothing."

"That's true." Jin Hujun raised a smug expression, then pressed his foot on Xu Qing's foot and jumped onto Xu Qing's shoulder, "Don't worry, he's just a person from Southern Xinjiang."

"It would be better if the ancestor of their lineage came."

"It's a pity that most of their ancestors died back then. The one or two who were left would never dare to step into the territory of Dasheng again in their lifetime before Qingxu died."

Having said this, Xu's mother Liu Fang didn't say anything more, but just kept reminding Xu Qing to be careful.

After bidding farewell to Xu's father and mother and the eldest and second sons, Xu Qing, Uncle Zhang and Jin Hujun went to Ningyang Town with their cat.

On the other side, the government office.

As he listened to his subordinates' reports, County Magistrate Fang Youwei's eyes flickered with something strange.

"You mean a Taoist priest in a blue robe came back from outside the city and went to Zhang Yuean's butcher shop, and then a carriage drove out of Zhang's house not long after?"

When Fang Youwei learned that a disciple from Yuanfu Temple had rushed to Ningyang Town last night and left the city to subdue the demon this morning, how could he not arrange spies at the city gate and Zhang Yueshan's meat shop? But he didn't expect that as soon as the spies were arranged, intelligence would be reported immediately.

The moment he heard from his two subordinates about the abnormal behavior of the Yuanfu Temple disciple, he already had a very bad feeling in his heart.

"Yes, sir." The two yamen runners below said respectfully.

"How many people are there in the car, and how many valuables do they have?" Fang Youwei asked in a deep voice.

"There are six people, and they haven't seen any gifts or valuables." A yamen runner replied.

"They were in a hurry, they brought their families with them, and they didn't bring any valuables." Fang Youwei's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand to dismiss the two yamen runners. "Alright, you can go down first."

"Yes." The two bailiffs saluted and left.

"grown ups."

Chu Tiankuo, who was waiting nearby, saw Fang Youwei's gloomy face and hurried forward.

"I think our plan has been exposed." Fang Youwei narrowed his eyes slightly: "This barbarian from southern Xinjiang is really unreliable. It's a pity that he just said it so confidently."

"Already exposed? How is that possible?" Chu Tiankuo was horrified.

"I don't know the exact extent of the exposure." Fang Youwei said his guess in a deep voice, "But judging from the fact that the Yuanfu Temple disciple was anxious to send people out, most of them should have been exposed."

"In my opinion, the disciple of Yuanfu Temple should have guessed or seen with his own eyes that the tiger monster was transformed from a human, and knew that there were more than one tiger monster."

"But this alone is not enough to explain why the other party hurriedly sent his family out of town."

"After all, no matter whether the tiger demon is transformed from a human or how many heads it has, it is still safer in this town than anywhere else."

"The only way they could rush to send their relatives and friends out of town without contacting the authorities is if they knew that there was a threat brewing in the town that would affect the entire town."

"And the government was involved in this threat!"

"Sir, what should we do then?" Chu Tiankuo felt his scalp tingling after hearing this. Once the matter was exposed, he would have ten lives to live.

"What should I do?" Fang Youwei closed his eyes and thought.

Their plan cannot be exposed. Once it is exposed, they will lose their heads. They have no choice at all.

Fang Youwei suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce light flashing in his eyes: "Robbery and murder in the middle of the journey, cover up the matter, and let Batu Yuan take action."

"Since they started this, let them clean it up!"

"It just so happens that Yuanfu Temple and the other lineage have a deep blood feud. Didn't Batu Yuan want to seek revenge on Yuanfu Temple? I'll give him this opportunity now."

Chu Tiankuo was horrified when he heard this. He didn't expect that County Magistrate Fang would finally come up with such a simple and crude method.

“Sir, this.” Chu Tiankuo stammered, “If something happens to the disciples of Yuanfu Temple, Yuanfu Temple may not let it go. Once an elder-level figure appears, your plan may be…”

Fang Youwei's eyes turned cold when he heard the voice: "The problem has been discovered. Killing the person who discovered the problem is the fastest and most convenient solution!"

However, when the two were talking.

The two yamen runners outside the room came back and reported loudly through the door:

"Sir, my brothers came to report that Zhang Yuean and the Taoist priest in blue robes who just left the city are back."

"Moreover, those two people are walking towards the county government office!"

Fang Youwei stood up from his chair with a bang.

Leaving in a hurry means that the other party is not sure how deep the water is in Ningyang Town. At this time, staying away from it and seeking shelter from the master is the most correct choice!

But why did he come back? Who gave him the confidence?

　Because yesterday was the first day of the launch, I couldn't set a timer. Today I thought I had set a timer, but it turned out I forgot and only remembered it now. Sorry.
