Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 136 Catching the Traitor
Its daybreak.

After the people in Luo Zhutong's yard gradually regained consciousness, they knelt on the ground and trembled.

After a night of recuperation and rest, Du Feng and Liu Zhi recovered a lot of their energy.

At this moment, they stood in the yard, holding the oxtail knives at their waists, staring at everyone with a fierce look.

The three official horses were walking among the crowd, and would rush up and kick anyone they saw who did not kneel properly.

Fortunately, they knew their limits and didn't use too much force. They just knocked the person down without hurting him.

When encountering someone who is not convinced, the official horse will move its face closer, baring its teeth and roaring, urging the person to come and fight if he dares.

But no one dared.

Shang Lu, who was sitting upright on the chair, had a stern face and gave a cold lecture:

"I will send someone to check on you. You must quit drugs and don't think about getting other medicines as substitutes. Don't get in touch with other evil ways!

If I find out who does this, I will not only arrest him, but also his neighbors, the village chief, and the owner of the village!
If you find anyone who dares to do this, you are welcome to report it. I will keep it secret for you and give you a reward..."

Du Feng and Liu Zhi were amazed when they heard this, thinking that Shang County Lieutenant was just a constable like them not long ago, but they didn't expect that after becoming a county lieutenant, he could easily use methods such as division, collective responsibility, mutual supervision and reporting.

Is this also a talent?
How could they know that although Shang Lu had never used these methods before, he was very familiar with them.

Who hasn't experienced these things during their school days? These are memories engraved in our bones. Even if we travel through time, we will never forget them. When we need them, we will use them naturally.

After hearing Shang Lu's words, the people kneeling in the yard looked at their companions around them with a wary or scrutinizing look.

I am afraid that they will do something wrong, but I am also afraid that no one will do something wrong.

Especially those village chiefs and manor owners, they find everyone suspicious.

Only the people of Luojiazhuang were very disdainful of Shang Lu's threat. However, because Liu Zhi and Du Feng, who were covered in blood and looked like evil spirits, they did not dare to contradict him.

But some of them were still whispering:
"Why are you so arrogant? You dare to threaten us. Once we report this to the God, we will kill you all and make a feast for the God!"

After they finished muttering, they did not forget to ask the people from other villages who were kneeling beside them: "Are you right?"

I thought that the people in these villages would agree with them and curse Shanglu together with them.

But I didn't expect these people to report them immediately:

"Sir, I am exposing that the people in Luojia Village are dissatisfied with you and are saying bad things about you!"

The people in Luojiazhuang were dumbfounded, thinking, shouldn't we be in the same group? Why did you betray us?

They didn't go to the mound last night, so they didn't know that the Blood Year God had been injured and captured by Shang Lu.

But people from several other villages saw this scene with their own eyes. Although their minds and bodies were abnormal due to the influence of the rotten meat at the time, they were still aware of what was happening around them.

After hearing the accusations from the crowd, Shang Lu immediately ordered Du Feng and Liu Zhi to whip everyone in Luojiazhuang.

It can be regarded as killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

After the punishment was completed, they were told the fate of the Blood Year God.

The people in Luojiazhuang only then realized that the world had completely changed in just one night.

Then he hated the people from other villages. Not only did he not remind them, but he actually reported them. What a scoundrel!

Shang Lu said coldly: "It's just a demon. You still regard it as a god. You are really blind. This time, I will only whip you a few times. If you dare to do it again, I will charge you with colluding with demons and take you all to the county jail!"

The people in Luojiazhuang finally became scared and kowtowed repeatedly, saying that they dared not.

Shang Lu gave a warning, and seeing that it worked, he did not stay in Luojiazhuang for long. He called Du Feng and Liu Zhi, and took the official horses away. Although the official horses of Du Feng and Liu Zhi were covered with scars and healed, they could not carry people yet.

Because friction can easily cause a wound that has just healed to suffer a second trauma.

Only after Shang Lu and the other two walked away did the group of people kneeling on the ground get up and disperse amid the curses of the people in Luojiazhuang.

Shang Lu and his companions left Luojiazhuang and walked about twenty or thirty miles before they were stopped by a village head and his men along the way.

After all, the three men looked too scary. Although the blood on their faces had been washed off with water in Luojiazhuang, their clothes were not washed in time and were all bloody, as if they had just killed someone and robbed the goods.

Shang Lu showed his badge and certificate, which frightened the village head and his men, and they hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

"No need to be so polite. Has anything strange happened in your place recently?"

Shang Lu first encouraged the head of the village, praising his diligence and prudence, and then asked about the situation here.

The village head gave a detailed report.

Hearing that nothing strange had happened here, Shang Lu still patrolled around and told the head of the village to strengthen patrols and immediately send someone to report to the county if anything strange was discovered, and not to act rashly.

The head of the village did not have official robes or constable uniforms, but he had casual clothes, so he lent a few sets to Shang Lu and the others to change into. They no longer had to walk around in bloody official robes, which was both scary and easy to get into trouble.

In the next two days, Shang Lu and his two companions completed the patrol of Luoshui County and delivered the compensation money to the families of the deceased.

During this patrol, in addition to discovering the secret spy and the Blood Year God, Shang Lu also discovered some other traces of monsters and ghosts, but he didn't capture any of them.

But he wrote down all these traces, and would ask the yamen runners and local militia to conduct targeted investigations later.

When the three returned to the county government office, they found that there were many new faces in the office.

In the past few days, the leaders of the three squads and the hundreds of local militiamen have been busy. According to Shang Lu's requirements, they have recruited a lot of new people.

Because there were not many people with the entry-level skills of bone-breaking, they had to lower their requirements and recruit some strong people who had practiced martial arts.

These people cannot deal with demons and spies, but it is still feasible for them to take over local security patrols and do some peripheral patrol and security work.

Because these people's cultivation was not high enough, Captain Niu and his men decided, after some discussion, to train them in the yamen for a few days first, especially in the methods of battle formations and coordination.

Although it is like sharpening your sword before the battle, it is better than doing nothing.

When Shang Lu saw these newcomers, he immediately summoned the leaders of the three squads and the hundreds of local militia leaders to the county lieutenant's office and instructed them to carefully identify them and make sure no spies sneaked in.

However, Shang Lu also knew that it would be difficult to identify spies relying only on the leaders of the three squads and hundreds of local militiamen.

He planned to go to the witch temple after dealing with the traitor and ask the witch officer from the Discipline Department to come for help.

The wizards of the Discipline Department are best at this kind of thing.

"Du Feng, Liu Zhi, follow me to get him."

A clerk brought a new set of county lieutenant's official robes, but Shang Lu did not change them. He took Du Feng and Liu Zhi, who were also covered in blood, and rushed straight to the sixth room with knives in hand to arrest people.

Soon, the news that Shang Lu had arrested someone in the Sixth House reached the ears of the Chief Clerk.

The chief clerk was furious.

Everyone in the yamen knew that the Sixth Office obeyed his orders. Today Shang Lu arrested the clerk of the Sixth Office, so would he arrest him tomorrow?

"It's totally lawless. I want to see what basis he has to arrest someone in the Sixth Room!"

The chief clerk immediately went to the sixth room to stop Shang Lu from challenging his authority.
