Close the wooden door of the academy.

Su Qin took Li Xiang's hand and slowly walked towards the center of the village, towards the ancestral hall.

"Kid, you are quite clever."

"Now I think of becoming a teacher."

Su Qin touched his goatee and glanced around the warriors of the Demon Slayer Division.

At this time, the village was in chaos. The people from the Demon Slayer Division seemed to have turned the entire village upside down, questioning them from house to house.

On the way, the two of them also saw people from the Demon Slayer Division pressing down on many villagers and heading towards the ancestral hall.

"Where can anyone handle a case like this? They go from house to house and ask questions, which makes the villagers restless."

"This Demon Slayer Division is a bit too domineering."

Not long after.

The two of them saw the ancestral hall from a distance on the road.

At this moment, a large number of people have gathered in front of the ancestral hall.

In front of the door, Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan stood in front of a man wearing a blue robe to report.

There were two other officials escorting many villagers beside him.

After counting them scatteredly, there were dozens of people.

His father, the old village chief, and several thin and pale-looking villagers were all in the procession.

"Um?"

"Why were so many people arrested?"

Li Xiang was a little surprised.

Before he could continue to think, he saw the people from the Demon Slayer Division not far away, and captured a few crying children.

There were several strings of animal tooth necklaces hanging around the necks of these children. They were the teeth of the monsters killed by Li Xiangzhen yesterday. They were strung into necklaces and worn around their necks.

This Demon Slayer Division!

Why don't you even let the children go?

In front of the village chief's door, a dozen officials from the Demon Slayer Division were coldly guarding the villagers.

Wearing a long black suit and standing with a sword in his hand, he looked very dignified.

In front of Governor Lu, there was another person holding a huge bronze bell in his hand, waiting for Governor Lu's summons.

This person is none other than Zhang Wu from Shihe Village.

Different from three years ago, Zhang Wu now has a regular scar at the corner of his eye, which looks very sinister.

Li Xiang had a deep impression of him. He was this guy when he was born, and he almost killed himself.

If it weren't for his birth, the future direction of the entire world would have been drastically changed.

It caused a sudden change in the world, and this guy probably just chopped it down with a hatchet.

I thought that such a huge vision of heaven and earth would attract some elders from the Holy Land sect.

Or the Bodhisattvas and Arhats from Nanhai Buddhism, or even some evil cultivators came to explore.

No matter how bad it is, a few loose immortals can come. For example, Nezha became a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren when he was born. It would be good to be a second-generation immortal with a backer.

But for some reason, it was as if nothing had happened.

Continue to repeat the ordinary and monotonous life.

It's as if there is something that forcibly erases the existence of this thing, which is incredible.

However, Li Xiang did not think too wildly. The logic of the extraordinary world cannot be speculated with common sense.

I won't continue to think about it.

Speaking of Zhang Wu, I have no longer troubled my family in recent years.

When my father was in trouble, he led people up the mountain to rescue him. He was also a conscientious village chief.

In front of the ancestral hall.

Zhang Wu held the Demon Suppressing Bell and looked at Lu Zhenshou anxiously.

"Sir! These are all villagers from our village. How can you take them all to Tianhe County!"

"Now is the time of autumn harvest. There are so few people in the village. If there is a heavy rain, we will not be able to harvest and sow on time."

"People in this village will die next year, sir!"

"People will starve to death next year!"

Zhang Wu held the broken Demon Suppressing Bell and stood in front of Lu Jianxing, looking very anxious.

This Demon Slayer Division is actually planning to send all those detained here to Tianhe County so that Bachelor Liu Rui and Liu can prove their identities!

This scholar Liu is a Confucian scholar from Tianhe County, and has already developed a keen eye.

Under the awe-inspiring anger, all the demons and monsters had nowhere to hide. It was really appropriate to ask him to verify the true identity of these villagers.

only……

This place is extremely far away from Tianhe County, and it may take at least two months to come back and forth.

Now is the busy time for farming. If all these people in the village are taken to Tianhe County.

As the village chief said, in the coming year, all the women, children, old and weak in the whole village may starve to death here.

"grown ups!"

"My lord!!"

Zhang Wu begged bitterly.

He never imagined that the Demon Slayer Division was obviously here to investigate the case and the demon incident, but it would develop to this point.

Even if there is no demon attack, they will still die due to man-made disasters.

Why is he not in a hurry?

Holding the demon-suppressing clock, I wanted to smash it on the ground to vent my anger.

"How does the Demon Slayer Division act? Why do you need to ask?"

"presumptuous!"

Lu Jianxing frowned, stretched out one hand, and directly lifted the Demon Suppressing Bell in Zhang Wu's hand.

Looking at the Demon Suppressing Bell in front of him, he spoke coldly.

"This Demon Suppressing Bell is a second-grade yellow-level treasure. The cost alone is three thousand taels of silver."

"Even if you tie all of your heads together, it won't be enough for a fraction of this demon-suppressing clock."

"Now that the Demon Suppressing Bell is broken, the Demon Slayer Department must have an explanation to the superiors."

"If you dare to stop me again, I will kill you immediately!"

Lu Jianxing looked at Zhang Wu with cold eyes, feeling so powerful that he couldn't stand up.

"Brother, do we really want to escort all these villagers to the county seat?"

Shen Lian's untimely incident happened suddenly, which even caused Jin Yichuan beside him to frown again.

Shen Lian, Jin Yichuan, and Lu Jianxing are sworn brothers, and they usually have a very good relationship.

But now, it seems that the two brothers also feel that something is wrong with what their eldest brother is doing.

"Brother! We can just force Li Ping'an to go to the county town. Why do we need to involve these innocent villagers?"

"These people just cut some pieces of flesh from the monsters and used them as food. These children just took some broken teeth and made them into necklaces. I just looked at them with a mirror. They can't be monsters!"

"Brother, what is the difference between us and those monsters if we act like this and ignore their life and death..."

"presumptuous!"

"Shen Lian, you are so brave. Now you have the final say in the Demon Slayer Division?"

Lu Jianxing snorted coldly and interrupted the two of them.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the three of them was a little cold.

For a long time, Lu Jianxing looked at his two younger brothers and sighed deeply.

He called the two of them over and whispered:

"Second brother, your mother-in-law is still drinking wine with guests in the Wenwu Building and showing off her appearance. Do you have the heart to let her continue to receive guests like this?"

"Third brother, how long can your old illness persist? Are you really prepared to die in the line of duty when you are in your twenties, and then settle your life and death?"

Speaking of this, two cold lights flashed in Lu Jianxing's eyes.

Like a greedy wolf, staring at Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan.

"Are you two really planning to live in such a border town your whole life?"

"We three brothers have no money and no way out. We rely on opportunities. When opportunities come, if you catch them, you can turn around!"

"Now that the opportunity has come, how can you let it go?"

The three of them frowned and said nothing.

"Brother..."

Shen Lian seemed to want to persuade him again.

"I have made up my mind, don't mention it again!"

"It would be better to kill by mistake than to let go. This case involves the theft of a valuable treasure from the Netherworld Sect a hundred years ago. If we can't find out, Tong Xing from the Demon Slayer Division will come over next month to take over!"

"Unless you can find an upright Confucian right now to examine them on the spot, don't mention this matter again!"
