Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading Chapter 5: The tiger who took the revenge script

"What's the matter?" Chen Luo hurriedly asked.

Chen Ping squinted his eyes slightly, as if recalling, and said, "Two years ago, during the autumn harvest, Wang Xigui, a tenant from Xiaoxi Village in the east of the city, went to his house and said that a tiger ran out of Xixiu Mountain, His mother-in-law was taken away. At that time, the young lady was out on errands, so I told you about it to the young master."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ping glanced at Chen Luo sideways, and Chen Luo froze for a moment. This kind of thing should be completely ignored by his previous personality, so he has no memory.

"What did I say then?" Chen Luo asked.

"You let the old slave take care of it..." Chen Ping continued, "The old slave made an assertion, found Zhou Yong, a hunter in Xiaoxi Village, gave him twenty taels of silver, and sent a dozen more As a helper, Zhuang Ding went to Xixiu Mountain to catch the tiger and besieged it."

"And then what?"

"At that time, Zhou Yong visited the tiger's den and said that there should be two tigers nearby, a male and a female. How could the first female be killed, but the male was not found. Just in case, I asked people to search the area again. After a few days, the male tiger was not found, so the people were withdrawn. Young master, do you think that the male tiger has become a master and came back for revenge?"

Chen Luo pondered slightly, in this world, it is not uncommon for a beast to become an elite. Let's not talk about what heaven and earth treasures are used by the lucky ones, just talking about the three doors of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism preaching, Buddhist enlightenment, and Confucianism enlightenment, there is a chance that the beasts will unlock their intelligence and turn into monsters. There is no guarantee that there is a master who opened his mouth and let the escaped male tiger get the way and turn into a tiger demon.

"Is Zhou Yong still here?" Chen Luo asked.

Chen Ping was startled and said, "You said that, young master, but I remembered it. Before the accident in my Chen family, Zhou Yong went into the mountain and never came back. It has been about a month since then."

Chen Luo frowned again and shouted, "Zhong Kui!"

I saw the figure of Zhong Kui slowly emerge behind Chen Luo. Chen Luo had already explained the matter of Zhong Kui to Chen Ping before, but Chen Ping did not expect that the face of the other party was so ugly. Don't look at Zhong Kui.

Chen Luo didn't pay attention to Chen Ping's expression, but asked Zhong Kui: "You eat that ghost, what did you find?"

Zhong Kui nodded and said, "That ghost didn't take a long time to form, it took more than a month at most, and there are still some memories of being a human being in the deepest part of the soul. Although it is messy, it can be vaguely recognized that it should be hunting for a living. ..."

"So the ghosts and eight achievements were transformed by Zhou Yong..." Chen Luo pondered, "Then the tiger demon that harmed my Chen residence should be the male tiger that disappeared."

"Then... what should I do now?" Chen Ping treats Chen Luo as if he is his own, and has always had a "genius" filter for Chen Luo. He is not surprised by Chen Luo's performance at this time, but he is the master. Son's feeling, subconsciously asked.

Chen Luo thought for a moment, then said: "The tiger demon has killed so many people, it must be full of blood, and dare not approach the county town. Since it is a beast of Xixiu Mountain, it must also be hiding in Xixiu Mountain." /

"I remember Dad once said that the officials of the Great Xuan Dynasty can stimulate the official seal and consume the dynasty's luck to detect a party's demonic aura. The entire Wan'an County is too big, and it is not a critical juncture. Cai Zhi County will certainly not be angry. To explore the whole city. But if there is only one Xixiu Mountain, my Chen family can still offer a reasonable price.”

"Uncle Ping, you go to the account to pay two thousand taels of silver!"

"Two thousand taels?" Chen Ping was taken aback. The Chen house relies on Chen Xuan to be the head of the house and does some rice, grain, mulberry and silkworm business. The annual income is about four thousand taels, after deducting the daily expenses. For management, the silver taels that can be put into storage every year are only about 2,500 taels. Chen Luo was about to withdraw nearly a year's worth of silver in one breath, which made Chen Ping wonder if Chen Luo was possessed by someone else.

"Master, do you want to ask the young lady?" Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, but then said tentatively.

Chen Luo frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn't care much about money in his previous life, and although he was a poor social animal in his previous life, he had no idea about silver. The reason why he said "two thousand taels" The number is about remembering that the county government can mobilize the dynasty's luck to bless the wealthy family, and the price is clearly marked. The price of the county wealthy family is one thousand taels of silver.

Of course, the county government took the money and used it to build bridges and pave roads, support orphans and widows, and subsidize official schools, which made the dynasty even stronger.

Seeing Chen Ping's reaction, Chen Luo also realized that 2,000 taels was not a small amount for the Chen family, and was about to promise him to ask Chen Xuan's opinion, but on second thought, he was not the waste he used to be. Mi worm, it would be better to set up a personal design while he is now resurrected from the dead. Besides, this money is related to the safety of the Chen residence, and it is an unavoidable expense, so he looked solemn and said, "What? I can't adjust this money?"

Chen Ping was startled when he heard the words, and saw Zhong Kui behind Chen Luo grinning and looking at him, and quickly waved his hand: "This old slave never meant that, I... I'll go to the account to get the bank note."

"Well, then you go, I'll wait for you at the door. Don't be alarmed by others, the tiger demon should not dare to attack the county seat."

Chen Ping responded quickly and turned away. Only then did Chen Luo turn to look at Zhong Kui. When Zhong Kui appeared before, as the master of the book spirit, he sensed that the aura on Zhong Kui's body was weakening.

"What's wrong with you? But you were injured in a fight with a ghost before?"

Zhong Kui was stunned for a moment, then bowed at Chen Luo: "I'm bothered by the lord's concern, a certain family is fine. It's just that the Netherland here is a bit weird, and it won't be too late for a certain family to make a report when the lord settles the tiger demon affair."

Chen Luo heard the words and nodded. Zhong Kui was originally a judge in the underworld, and it is not uncommon for the "Zhong Kui" calligraphy spirit he condensed to enter the underworld. However, at this time, it is true that the disposal of the tiger demon is the highest priority, so I will no longer ask.

Outside the gate of Chen's Mansion, it is Xi'an Street, one of the three main streets in Wan'an County. This street is full of houses of the rich and powerful in the county town, and there are some schools and medical halls in the middle. At this time, it was the third watch, and there were no pedestrians on the road. Chen Ping drove out a carriage from the house. Chen Luo stepped into the carriage and got into the carriage. The number one person in the county - Cai Tongchen, the county magistrate!

The third watch is between 11:00 pm and 1:00 am. Based on Chen Luo's previous life experience, he would not knock on the leader's door during this time. After all, this time is too private, and the other party can do anything~IndoMTL.com~ But at this time, Chen Luo can't make a choice. According to Zhong Kui, the tiger demon needs the ghost to return to understand what the ghost is doing. , so the tiger demon didn't know that the ghost was eaten by Zhong Kui for the time being. But if the ghost doesn't return to the tiger demon after dawn, the tiger demon must know that something happened to the ghost, and things will inevitably change.

Secondly, there is another reason why Chen Luo dared to do this, that is, Cai Tongchen had a good relationship with his dead cheap father, and it was said that he had received the guidance of Chen's father. Chen Xuan, a woman can support the Chen family's family business and develop, and Cai Tongchen's help is indispensable.

The moon was starless, and the county office was not far from the Chen residence. After walking for about twenty minutes, Chen Ping drove the carriage to the back of the county office. This magistrate's official residence is located behind the yamen, and naturally there is also a grand main entrance behind the county yamen. Chen Ping stepped forward and knocked on the door, and within a moment, the door opened the door with his sleepy eyes. After passing the silver, he took the invitation in his right hand, said "wait first", and closed the door.

At this time, Chen Ping wanted to understand why Chen Xuan was sure that Master Li would lead the way. At this time, that person would definitely not dare to go to Cai Tongchen directly, so he could only find his uncle Master Li first. As a staff member, Master Li naturally has a place of his own in the official residence.

What Chen Luo didn't expect was that Master Li didn't wait, but waited for a fierce jet of air to shoot out from the back office and hit Chen Luo's carriage, causing the whole carriage to fall apart. Chen Luo only saw a decent-looking middle-aged scholar in a long gown flying out of the back office, holding a long sword, pointing at himself, and shouting—

"He Fang evildoer, dare to steal my nephew's body. You deceived my niece and all the servants, but you can't deceive me, Cai Tongchen—"
