#1022 - Yin Yang Taoist Priest (Part 1)

Qi Shan leisurely walked out, cupped his hands towards the three old gentlemen, and said with a smile, "Magistrate, General Du, Father, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my mission and have interrogated the fugitive."

Before Magistrate Ma could say anything, General Du Zemin suddenly stood up, his eyes wide like light bulbs, and shouted in a rough voice, "What did you say?"

"The one I had dragged into the interrogation room earlier was not Zhang Laoshi, but a combined transformation of a demon fox and a prisoner. At this moment, they can no longer withstand the torture and have revealed their true forms."

"The white fox that the general initially discovered in the prison cart should be the real Zhang Laoshi."

"Now both the white fox and the prisoner are in the interrogation room. If the general has any questions, he can find out with a single question!"

As soon as Du Zemin heard this, he couldn't restrain himself any longer. He stood up directly and rushed towards the interrogation room.

Magistrate Ma turned his head to look at the burning incense stick. The sword pointed to less than 1/3 burned. His expression was a bit strange, but he squeezed out a smile on his face and cupped his hands, saying, "Congratulations, Brother Nian, you are indeed a celestial child. With just one glance, you have allowed demons and ghosts to have nowhere to hide!"

Li Renxiao was also a little confused. After all, this case was different from the previous ones. Before, they were nothing more than bizarre murder cases, but this case involved gods, ghosts, and strange events, and he was a little unsure.

But since the magistrate had already said so, Li Renxiao could only return the salute and politely said, "Your Excellency is too kind. Although my son has some intelligence, it is also just a coincidence. If Your Excellency were to try the case yourself, you might be even faster than my son!"

"Brother Nian is too polite, a qilin child, a qilin child. This time you have really helped me a lot. Don't leave tonight. I will have someone set up a table at Mingde Tower as a way to thank you and your son!"

When Li Renxiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent. After pretending to decline twice, he reluctantly accepted.

Qi Shan didn't say anything about this. After all, this was the atmosphere, and officials had to make friends like this. However, he had no interest in banquets and feasts.

Magistrate Ma was obviously also very curious about the white fox case. After a few polite words, he couldn't help but take two constables and walk quickly towards the interrogation room.

The father and son finally had a chance to talk.

Li Renxiao looked at his son, his face full of smiles: "Qi Shan, tell Dad, how did you see it?"

"It's hard to say, it's just a feeling, I felt that this person was not a good person, but I didn't have any evidence, so I asked someone to help scare him!"

"After a few whips, the fox couldn't bear the pain, and directly revealed its true form. It may still be lying on the ground now!"

Qi Shan briefly explained a few words. Seeing that Li Renxiao was still interested, he quickly said, "Father, since the matter has been resolved, then I will not stay in the county office any longer."

"The news that Xiaodouzi inquired about for me this morning said that a Taoist priest has recently come to our Beizhuang. He is very powerful and knows the soul-calling technique, which can allow the dead to meet the living. I am very interested and want to go take a look!"

Li Renxiao sighed helplessly: "You child, you are extremely smart, sensible and well-behaved, and you can almost memorize everything you read. Why do you only like these gods, ghosts, and strange things? Confucius said: A gentleman does not speak of strange powers, rebellious forces, or gods. Such things are what scholars avoid, but you insist on approaching them. Do you really not want to take the imperial examination?"

For a bookworm like Li Renxiao, the imperial examination was definitely the most important thing in his heart. He himself passed the imperial examination and only ended up as a school official, and he felt a lot of unwillingness in his heart. In addition, Qi Shan had always shown intelligence and could memorize everything he read, so he had high expectations for him.

Even when he was young, even if he could hire a private tutor, Li Renxiao still personally taught him.

The expectations for Qi Shan can be imagined, but unfortunately, Qi Shan's ambition was not here. He had a task to complete.

If he wanted to fight against the Thousand-Year White Snake, he naturally had to have some magic skills.

However, he couldn't argue with Li Renxiao on the surface. After all, he was the father of this reincarnated body. The kindness of parents is greater than the sky. He could just say whatever he wanted, and anyway, he would do whatever he wanted to do after turning around.

Seeing that his son was humming and hawing, and had returned to his deaf ears, Li Renxiao knew that he couldn't do anything with him, so he could only shake his head and wave his hand to let him go.

Qi Shan smiled and gave a salute, and ran out of the county office with Xiaodouzi.

Uncle Gen was indeed waiting outside the door, having gone home as instructed. Qi Shan was not in a hurry either. He stood at the door for a while, and sure enough, he saw someone renting a sedan chair and carrying it over. The leader was a thin man with a mustache.

He was happy when he saw Qi Shan, and quickly greeted him.

"Young Master, you're here again?"

Qi Shan waved his hand: "Stop trying to be familiar, even if you try to be familiar, there will be no extra reward money. Hurry to the southern suburbs, go faster, I have something urgent!"

Qi Shan spoke impolitely, but the thin man didn't mind. He chuckled and greeted, and the two sedan chair carriers lifted the sedan chair, and Xiaodouzi walked alongside, following all the way.

The sedan chair swayed forward. After walking for a while, Qi Shan lifted the sedan curtain and asked, "Tell me in detail, what's going on with that Taoist priest?"

Xiaodouzi knew that his young master liked these gods, ghosts, and strange things the most. He had investigated very carefully before. When he heard the young master ask, he even took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve, glanced at the ghost symbols on them, and then said.

"Young Master, this matter is quite strange, but I specifically asked the children on the street to inquire, and it should be relatively true."

"That Taoist priest appeared in Beizhuang nearly 10 days ago. I don't know where he came from. He is relatively tyrannical. As soon as he showed up, he ate a free meal at Zhang's teahouse."

"When Zhang Laohan was young, he was a butcher's apprentice. Although he changed his nature after he got married, his body was still strong."

"A mere stinky Taoist priest, how could he be allowed to freeload in his own home? Zhang Laohan grabbed the Taoist priest all at once, and insisted that he take the money, otherwise he would take him to see the official!"

"It is said that there were many people watching at the time, and many people were pointing fingers, but they didn't make things clear."

Xiaodouzi spoke with flying spittle, and Qi Shan listened attentively.

"That night, Zhang Laohan took the Taoist priest back to his home…"
