Chapter 96: Demon Slayer Division (Subscribe!)
The Huanglong Prefecture Yamen is located in the center of Huanglong Prefecture, covering an area of ​​100 acres. It has a full range of functions and is much more complete than the Qinghe County Yamen.

However, the Shenfu Sect was too powerful, and the government office became a subordinate of the Huanglong Mansion.

There are actually not many sects as powerful as the Shenfu Sect among the hundreds of sects in Xuanyang.

"arrive."

Fang Ya said softly.

Bai Yuan looked up at the four large characters written in gold on the gate of the government office.

Huanglongfu Office!

Dignified and majestic, grand and majestic.

Ordinary people would be terrified just by seeing this scene, and would never dare to seek justice.

This is indeed the case. Unless one is forced into a desperate situation, who would be willing to beat the drum to appeal for justice? According to the government's practice, no matter if one is right or wrong, both will be punished with thirty lashes of the cane.

But this board is very knowledgeable if it is managed properly.

Even though the officers' sticks made a whirring sound, in fact, they couldn't even break an egg when they hit it. Many officers made a living by relying on their skills in hitting with the sticks.

But if you have no money, it would be miserable.

In the Xuanyang Dynasty, people were beaten with the cane. A single blow would kill a weak person instantly, not to mention thirty blows. Someone would die before they even saw the prefect.

No one has beaten the drum in the Huanglong government office for three years. It's not because there is no injustice, but because people dare not. As long as there is still breath, who would want to die?

Bai Yuan had seen such tactics before when he was in Qinghe.

Bai Yuan was going to the Demon-Slaying Guard, which was east of the police station where Fang Ya was going.

However, Fang Ya knew that Bai Yuan was not familiar with the situation in Huanglong Mansion, so she took the initiative to propose to go with Bai Yuan to kill the Demon Guards first, using the excuse that the last mission had not been completed.

Huanglongfu Yamen has a total of six rooms and one bathroom.

There are the Lifang, Hufang, Lifang, Bingfang, Criminal Affairs Bureau and Workshop. The Patrol Bureau is the common name for the Criminal Affairs Bureau, and that guard is naturally the Demon-Slaying Guard.

The demon-slaying guards were in the large courtyard on the east side of the government office, and there were more than a hundred of them.

Because dealing with monsters is often extremely dangerous, more than half of the martial arts experts in the government office are in this courtyard.

In fact, there is only a police station in Qinghe County Government, but no demon-slaying guards.

Only above the government office did the Xuanyang court set up the Demon-Slaying Guard, with the police station in charge of people and the Demon-Slaying Guard in charge of demons.

In all the hundred prefectures of Xuanyang, the Demon-Slaying Guards were all stronger than the Police Station without exception. This was because demons were much more difficult to deal with than martial artists.

As soon as Bai Yuan and Fang Ya stepped over the threshold of the Demon Slayer Guard, they saw a busy scene.

People wearing black and gold robes were coming in and out in a hurry.

Unlike the police station, the entire Huanglong Prefecture, including all the monsters in the counties under its jurisdiction, are under the responsibility of the Monster-Slaying Guards. After all, it is too difficult to deal with monsters with the power of a county government.

"Ms. Fang?"

An older man with a sword looked at Bai Yuan and Fang Ya.

Fang Ya's family is not wealthy, and she often takes on bounty missions, so she is familiar with most of the people in the Demon-Slaying Guards and the Police Station.

"Li Shihu, long time no see."

She smiled slightly and said with a fist.

The official positions of the Demon-Slaying Guards are similar to those in the military. The lowest rank is Ten Households, and above them are Hundred Households, Thousand Households, Generals and Demon-Suppressing Envoys. The highest rank in the government office is Thousand Households.

The quality of the Demon-Slaying Guards is not comparable to that of the City-Defending Army. They have more than a hundred Yi Jin strong men, enough to defeat thousands of soldiers, and their killing power is much greater.

There are ten households, the worst of whom are Yi Jin martial arts masters, and there are also many strong and dirty masters.

Bai Yuan looked up and down at this ordinary middle-aged man.

His perception was very strong, so he could tell that this person was Yi Jin Guan without even fighting. To have climbed to the position of Ten Households with Yi Jin, he must have other extraordinary abilities.

When it comes to slaying demons, it’s not just about the realm.

The middle-aged master named Li Kang smiled warmly: "Ms. Fang, have you accepted another bounty for killing demons?" Most of the bounties on demons offered by the Shenfu Sect come from the Demon-Slaying Guards, so the two sides have a very good relationship. Since the other party is a disciple of the Shenfu Sect, he naturally has to give her more face.

Fang Ya pointed at Bai Yuan who was standing beside her and said, "It's someone else this time."

Bai Yuan: "Shenfumen, Bai Yuan, greetings to Li Shihu."

Li Kang's smile remained unchanged as he looked at Bai Yuan calmly. A veteran in officialdom like him would naturally not let anyone notice anything wrong.

"It turned out to be Young Master Bai."

Fang Ya had many interactions with this Tenth Household Member, and the three of them exchanged a few words.

"Li Shihu, I still need to go to the police station to ask some questions, so I'll leave first."

She found an excuse to leave.

After seeing Fang Ya off, Li Kang turned to look at Bai Yuan and sighed, "Young Master Bai, the monster in Jiuqugou is very cunning and very good at hiding its body. We have sent people to search the mountain many times, but we have found nothing."

"That evil beast has already absorbed the energy of dozens of people. I'm afraid it will become powerful. We need to kill it as soon as possible."

The training methods of monsters are completely different from those of human martial artists.

In addition to absorbing the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon, there is a more convenient way, which is to absorb popularity.

Just like the yellow fox and Xiaoqing before.

Humans have the most spiritual energy, and sucking the blood out of a person is equivalent to several years of hard training. If it weren't for the Xuanyang Dynasty's iron-blooded suppression, countless people would have suffered from the monster's vicious hands.

Li Kang waved to a young man.

"Feng Ping, tell Young Master Bai what you know about Jiuqugou."

A young man named Feng Ping trotted up to Li Kang and Bai Yuan. He had been there during several previous searches of the mountain, so he was familiar with the situation in Jiuqu Valley.

"Young Master Bai, Jiuqugou has many mountains and deep forests, and there is a big river running through it. We have searched for it many times but have not found any trace of the monster."

The young man Feng Ping told everything he knew.

Bai Yuan frowned slightly.

If the monster escapes into the river, things will be a bit tricky.

Li Kang: "Young Master Bai, I am responsible for this matter. I plan to take people to Jiuqugou to investigate tomorrow. How about we come together?"

Bai Yuan nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

It was true that he had a deep understanding of monsters, but it was still difficult to find clues based on just Feng Ping's few words.

The next day.

Bai Yuan arrived at the gate of Huanglongfu early in the morning to meet up with Li Kang and others.

Li Kang is the head of ten households and is in charge of six people. This time, he has mobilized all his forces, which shows how much he values ​​the monster.

"Young Master Bai, let's go."

Li Kang spoke decisively when he saw Bai Yuan appear.

Bai Yuan naturally had no objection.

Jiuqugou is sixty miles away from Huanglongfu, but fortunately it is right next to the official road. With the speed of Bai Yuan and his companions, they arrived at the foot of Jiuqugou Mountain in just one hour.

This mountain is named after the Jiuqu River. The Jiuqu River is winding with nine bends and eighteen turns, so the mountains in Jiuqu Valley are also extremely dangerous.

It is extremely difficult to find the monster hiding in such a dangerous place.

However, Jiuqu Mountain is adjacent to the official road, and the monster often attacks the caravans on the official road, which prompted Li Kang to take action personally.

"right here."

The young man Feng Ping pointed to a grove of trees on the official road.

That was where the monster committed its last crime.
