MTL - Begin Immortality By Slaying Demons

Chapter 26 Sloutoutuo and Butcher Zhang

As soon as the name came out, the Niu brothers who had just walked out of the room felt a little sluggish.

Then the two of them buried their heads, turned a deaf ear, and quickly left the courtyard with the thin middle-aged man on their backs.

They and other officers have long heard about what kind of person Liu Qi is.

The other party came from Qingzhou and was a martial arts master with a strong apprenticeship. He was also one of the most famous among the house masters hired by the Lin family who spent a lot of money.

A pair of iron palms can break gold and rocks, which is no more difficult than cutting tofu.

 It is rumored that the number of demons who died under these hands is as high as thirty if not fifty.

 “Shall we go take a look?”

 Chen Ji turned around and glanced at the backs of the two brothers. He didn't think they were timid, but he could understand them.

Boyun County is not a big city, and there is not even a serious sect. Liu Qi is already regarded as a strong dragon across the river in the eyes of the locals. Even their group of officers are counting on the reputation of each other to scare the demons.

Even he is dead, and the target is ninety-nine times a big monster.

 According to Liu Dianli's opinion, if it is a demon, it will be under the control of Shen Yi.

 To control or not to care, that is the question.

Logically speaking, no one reported the crime, so there was nothing wrong with pretending not to know and fooling the past. But even the street vendors could guess the fact. The act of concealing the truth would only make Shen Yi lose face on the first day, and it might even be possible. He was accused of failing to control demons.

 “This death was too coincidental.”

 Chen Ji looked away with a slight headache. Why was he like a broom star? Every time he brought news, it was troublesome.

 “Let’s go and have a look.”

Shen Yi lightly rubbed the tip of her eyebrows to cover up a trace of restlessness in her eyes, then stood up, picked up her sword and walked outside.

  It’s not about being shameless as others think.

 Compared to others, he knew that there was something hidden in the Lin Mansion.

That fox was sent in by my predecessor himself.

It can be said that every time it commits a murder, a crime will be recorded on Shen Yi. If it is accidentally captured, I am afraid that I will have to go to the Demon Suppression Prison.

　　　…”

 Shen Yi took Chen Ji onto the street.

The strange looks from the street were still the same as in the early morning. As the buildings on the street gradually changed from thatched walls to blue bricks and black tiles, such looks gradually disappeared.

In the relatively affluent east of the city, the intimidating effect of the clothes worn by the policemen is also rapidly declining.

Until the magnificent and luxurious mansion came into view, the vermilion door had a copper handle, and the two stone lions were half a head taller than the ones at the yamen door.

At this moment, the door was only open wide enough for one person. The chubby steward of the Lin family, wearing a silk coat and a small hat, stood in front of the door with a sad face, waving his hand to drive away the crowd: "Go, go, this is your place to watch the excitement. ?”

“What are you talking about watching the excitement? If there is a demon, you should let me know and I will go to the Yamen to ask for help.”

 A group of idlers had no choice but to retreat.

"There is no demon, there is no demon!" The steward of the Lin family twisted his fat face and said dejectedly: "I have said it eight hundred times, there is no such thing."

"You coward, what are you afraid of? Didn't you see the notice on the street that Mr. Shen can kill the dog monsters in the western suburbs, but he can't kill the evil spirits in your house?"

There were also a few people with some status standing in the crowd, but they didn't give the steward any face and started shouting.

 “Thank you to Lord Shen...you guys don’t know anything.”

The steward of the Lin family glanced at him with disdain, his mind was heavy and he was too lazy to talk to him.

 As for Shen Yi, I know more than this group of people.

　　When the other party rescued the young lady from outside the city, the master was grateful and treated him with great courtesy.

It was a gambler who did not want to be surnamed Shen. For three days, both ends were drilled to borrow silver. It has been quieter these days.

How can I trust such a person? After discovering that something happened to Liu Qi, he went to the magistrate's mansion overnight and invited the thin-headed man.

Even though that person was extremely thin, he looked like he could be blown over by a gust of wind, but when he was in Qingzhou, he could always be with his mentor, the magistrate, and he was deeply trusted. When Liu Qi met him during his lifetime, he also said he was a senior and did not dare to neglect him at all. .

 Such a person came to Lin's house to investigate.

 The final conclusion is...there is no demon causing trouble, so Mr. Lin does not need to worry.

As for Liu Qi’s death, the other party kept silent.

 In short, there is no demon.

With Shou Toutuo’s status, he made the golden comment. Even if the matter is finalized, let alone Shen’s lack of real ability. Even if the demon slaying thing is true, so what?

The steward of the Lin family recovered his thoughts and suddenly found that the noisy crowd was gradually making way for him: "It's coming, it's really coming! The notice is true!"

I saw a young man with a sword approaching slowly, followed by a police officer.

"Hey, Capt. Shen...my lady is not in the house." Manager Lin forced a smile and was a little surprised in his heart. Could it be that the other party had never heard of Liu Qi's reputation and dared to interfere in such a thing.

Hearing this, Shen Yi frowned slightly.

 Not here?

"I went out for an outing in the city. It will take a few days to come back." Manager Lin shook his head and continued: "If you are looking for Miss Bai Wei, please come back."

“I’m not looking for her, please take me to see the body.”

 Shen Yi stepped onto the stone steps.

The fox demon is not here, but a martial arts master died. This is strange.

Hearing this, the steward of the Lin family showed hesitation. If the other party was here to catch the autumn wind and heard that the lady was not at home, he should turn around and leave. If he really came to check for the monster... Shouto Tuo would still be in the house.

Thinking of this, he deliberately raised his voice:

"Shen Captou, the magistrate of the county, has already come to see it."

Hearing this, Chen Ji was shocked at first, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since there are experts taking action, this matter will be solved naturally, and there is no need for my own servants to worry about it.

The idle people gathered in the distance also suddenly realized, no wonder the Lin family is so calm, hiss, it's a pity, but today we can't see Shen Captou taking action.

 After saying that, Manager Lin looked at the young man again, the meaning on his face was obvious.

 The steps are also given. This responsibility cannot be thrown away from you in any way. You can just turn around and leave, and it will not have any impact on your reputation.

　　　…”

Shen Yi lowered her eyes and saw in her eyes the anxiety and confusion that the steward tried so hard to conceal.

 He said calmly: "It doesn't hurt to take one more look."

Hearing this, the manager of the Lin family was finally surprised. Not to mention, he really seemed like a different person. If before, the other party wanted to throw away all the troubles and focus on making money, what happened today?

Humbling for a moment, he moved away with a wry smile: "If you really want to see it, then come with me."

The steward turned around and opened the door. He was about to take a step, but the expression on his face was much stiffer.

I saw two strange people walking out one after another, accompanied by the master.

The former is tall and thin, looks to be about fifty years old, with eyebrows drooping like dragon whiskers, and is wearing a long black coat, shaped like a bamboo pole.

The middle-aged man in the back is as strong as a hill, with a big beard like a steel needle on his rough cheeks. He has a dull expression, wears a greasy white short collar, has dark skin, and has a bloated belly as scary as ten months of pregnancy.

Sloutoutuo smiled calmly and was about to say goodbye to Mr. Lin when he raised his head and saw a few people at the door.

At the moment when the steward was frightened and wanted to explain, Toutuo's smile faded slightly and he cupped his hands and said, "This is Mr. Shen. I've heard of him for a long time, so I'm lucky to meet him."

Hearing this, the swarthy, rough man lowered his head gloomily, but now he glanced this way lightly.
