Under the gaze of the thin monk, Chen Ji suddenly felt a little dry mouth and tongue.

  After all, they are still young and hot-blooded, entering the government only to make a living, but their hearts are still yearning for the rivers and lakes.

  Now that Ive met a renowned predecessor in the Jianghu, even the palm of my hand holding the hilt is trembling with excitement.

  Besides excitement, I couldnt help but feel a little sentimental.

  Also being a yamen runner, even such seniors have to address Shen Yi as "young friend", it seems that fame in the martial arts world is indeed earned through ones fists.

  Chen Ji shook his head, recalling the scene of Shen Yis blood-soaked body slumped lazily in the countryside, with the corpses still warm in front of him, and felt that everything was as it should be.

  "Flattery from a senior."

  Shen Yi responded with a bow and continued walking forward, without any intention of continuing to flatter each other.

  However, Tou came over with someone: "This is my junior fellow from the Golden Strength Sect, nicknamed Zhang Butcher, who has come all the way from Qingzhou to find me and is also looking for a job under County Master."

  Shen Yi nodded in agreement, and Zhang Tutou responded with a slight nod of his chin.

  "I have something official to attend to, so I wont bother you two for now."

  After the polite exchange, Shen Yi took another step forward, while the thin monk shifted slightly to the side but still blocked his path.

  “……”

  Shen Yi looked back calmly.

  Everyone has their own aspirations, he doesnt think theres anything wrong with Thin Headed Tao taking money to do things. If he hadnt traveled through time and worn this set of clothes, cutting off the path of Jianghu schools, he would also want to join a school like his opponent, learn some martial arts, and be supported by wealthy families.

  But if the other party has accepted the money and the thing theyve done is specifically to cause trouble for themselves, then thats a different story.

  "You and I are both martial artists who have devoted ourselves to our craft. Why dont we find a place to drink freely for a while?"

  Qiu Tou Da chuckled and patted Shen Yis shoulder: "Im much older than you, so Ill brazenly call myself an elder. Youre still young, with a strong aura about you. It wont hurt to chat with an old codger like me."

  Even Chen Ji, who was standing behind him, felt the subtlety in the atmosphere.

  Mr. Lin and the steward were silent, their eyes dim.

  They didnt quite believe in Shen Yis abilities.

  But compared to them, they are even less convinced of the judgment of the thin-headed Taoist, but how dare a businessman question in front of such a master.

  If the government officials could take control of this matter, it would be a good thing. Unexpectedly, the other party even wanted to obstruct this. Shen Yi was just a small official, how dare he offend the county magistrates favorite?

  Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

  Shen Yi fell silent for a moment, slowly removed the hand on his shoulder and patted it twice: "Thank you, senior, but I still have official business today, sorry."

  His actions instantly froze the atmosphere.

  Embarrassment surged in his eyes, and a thread of anger appeared on his old face.

  Zhang Butou turned his head, and under his thick beard, the corners of his mouth added a few more mocking smiles.

  "If Im not mistaken, Shen Captor has recently been promoted to oversee all the demons and monsters in Baiyun County. I said this place is free from evil spirits, its just an ordinary homicide case, what business do you have with the Lin family? Or are you saying you dont trust me?"

  The tone of Shou Tou Tuos voice had a few more degrees of coldness.

  Shen Yi glanced at Guan Shi and calmly said, "Lead the way."

  "Ah...... okay......"

  He didnt dare to intervene in this dispute, the only thing that shocked him was that a former gambler could remain calm in front of Siu Tau.

  The most ridiculous thing is that Baldy seems to be taking advantage of his helpless look.

  If I had known it would be like this, Master would have been better off going directly to the yamen or the county magistrates residence... what a waste of time.

  The stewards thoughts were distracted and he hurriedly ran towards the side house.

  Until the three people disappeared at the end of their field of vision.

  Mr. Lin bowed repeatedly: "Two seniors, Im really sorry, Captain Shen is also preoccupied with official business, please dont take it to heart."

  He had a lean head and a gloomy face, and he followed with a wave of his sleeve.

  Zhang Tutou followed closely behind and casually asked: "Are you familiar with him, Shixiong?"

  "Ive never seen such a thing, its just a pity that hes so talented. I thought wed be working together under the county magistrate in the future and would be able to help each other out, but it turns out hes just a brainless fool."

  "I see, I thought it was because Brother Shifu was afraid that he would know about us being deceived by the demon and losing face."

  Listening to the words behind the words, Shou Tou suddenly turned his head, his face dark and gloomy. It took a long time for him to calm down: "You just came from Qingzhou, thinking this is a small place, with an arrogant attitude, I wont blame you. But remember, the water here is deeper than you think."

  He continued walking forward: "You think he can be any different, after a while he will still come up with an excuse like us."

  Zhang Butou shut his mouth without saying yes or no.

  Two people talking.

  Shen Yi and the two followed Guan Shi to a secluded house, watching as he slowly lifted the white cloth, revealing the corpse underneath.

  With just one glance, Chen Jis admiration for Sotou increased by a few more points.

  What a skill it is to talk nonsense with ones eyes open.

  All that was seen was a sturdy male body lying on the bed board, with only half of his left arm remaining, and a large hole in his abdomen, which had been hollowed out.

  Two eye sockets on his face were empty, his nose was gone, and the entire right side of his face had been licked clean to the bone, without a single thread of flesh left.

  "It was fine just yesterday, and then it happened overnight."

  Lins housekeeper closed his eyes and rubbed his face hard, trying to dispel the chill from his body.

  He still remembered how majestic and proud Liu Qi was when he first arrived at the Lin family, but now he had become like this.

  "No one knows how he died?" Chen Ji frowned.

  A mighty martial artist, even if they were to run into a demon, how could they possibly die without making a sound?

  "The person who found him is not from our Lin family."

  Lins housekeeper sighed, wanting to say something but not daring to, and turned back to look at Shen Yi: "When you sent Miss Bai Wei back home, after her injuries healed, although her temperament didnt change, she lost many memories and couldnt remember many relatives."

  When it came to this, the housekeeper shook her head and said: "Half a month ago, she said that an acquaintance from outside was coming to our home as a guest, but it turned out to be a young man. This matter shouldnt have been mentioned, Miss is still a virgin, you two just listen and dont spread it out to ruin her reputation..."

  Chen Ji nodded.

  "The steward continued: The master is concerned about the young lady and also considers that having a familiar person by her side may help her recover her memory, so he has kept this person here. The young lady and he are very close, and we have treated him as an honored guest."

  "Liu Qis corpse was found in his room... and Miss has coincidentally been away from home for the past few days..."

  "Qiu Tou Da said a few words with him and said it had nothing to do with him..."

  By this time, Shen Yi finally understood what the other party meant.

  The Lin family had long been suspicious of someone, and the reason they went to find the thin-headed monk was not to find a demon, but to destroy one.

  "Where is he?" Chen Ji asked subconsciously.

  "I am here."

  A lazy and drawling voice came from outside the door.

  A young man in a black shirt leaned against the door, stretched out his hand to cover a yawn, and on his rosy-cheeked face with white teeth, a smile hung, he opened his mouth, two tiger-like teeth added a few provocative meanings to the smile.

  "He raised an eyebrow and said: Are you Shen Yi? Why are you just arriving now?"

  The tone was filled with a condescending attitude, and Shen Yis gaze seemed to be looking at his own servant.
