No taboos

Chapter 178 Head Dog
The female lawyer's "dog leash" is empty.

That meant her dog was dead.

Moreover, the dog that died was the one she valued the most, so the female head lawyer has been in a very bad temper these days.

Those who practice the "Dragon Transformation Method" have bad tempers.

The government office has been very quiet these days, and no one even dares to make any big noise.

If you provoke her, you will at least be beaten with a salt water whip until your skin is torn and your flesh is exposed.

The female head lawyer feels that things have been going wrong recently.

He used the master's grave as a trap, hoping to break the backbone of the Champa Office of the Ministry of Exorcism and dominate Champa himself.

The guy named Xu Yuan ruined the plan and failed.

Then let Pingtian find a way to kill Xu Yuan to vent his anger.

The Pingtian Society was very dedicated in their work, and the leaders and elders of the branch went out together.

I thought they were quite sensible, and after Xu Yuan died, I would put them on chains and keep them as my own dogs.

As a result, within two days, the Pingtian Society’s Champa branch was destroyed!
The entire Jiaozhi South Office is searching and searching all branches of the Pingtian Society!
Just ask around and you'll know what's going on.

The female head lawyer only cursed him inwardly as "waste". Although she felt a little unhappy that she couldn't kill Xu Yuan to vent her anger, she didn't feel any regret.

There are many people who are willing to be her dogs, and there is no shortage of people like Pingtianhui.

But the life cultivator died, and the female head lawyer felt really sad.

It's not easy to find a dog that can bite people this hard.

It goes without saying who did it.

They went to Xiaoyu Mountain to find something for themselves.

She is not afraid of the "chicken and dog sacrifice to heaven" that others are afraid of, as her family has an ancestral method of "dog training".

Make sure every dog dares not bite its owner.

"Ever since that little bastard entered Champa, I've been having bad luck!"

"I must kill this man!"

But since Pingtianhui and Mingxiu were both defeated, the female leader would no longer underestimate Xu Yuan.

The female lawyer fiddled with the other dog leash.

Half an hour later, a servant came to the door and reported, "Sir, there is a woman named Bao Lin who wants to see you."

"Bring him in."

Soon, a woman of ordinary appearance and dress came in and knelt at the feet of the head lawyer. "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Go to Shanhe County and find out about the background of a man named Xu Yuan."

"As ordered."

The female head lawyer casually said, “If he has any family members, capture them all. I will be able to use them.

Attention, be quiet!"

……

Bao Lin is a seventh-rate practitioner.

What I practiced was the "pulling silk method".

What is haunted is the soul of a living person.

Their practice of magic is somewhat similar to that of life cultivation. Most of them will join wealthy and powerful families and train death warriors.

The treatment is completely different from that of life cultivators.

Bao Lin followed the female head lawyer out of the house, and brought three assassins with them.

After arriving in Champa, the female chief lawyer gave Bao Lin an opportunity to select someone from the Dead Water Prison of the Mountain and River Division.

Bao Lin selected five death row prisoners from the prison and controlled them using his own methods.

The thread-pulling method is certainly not as simple as just bringing back the soul of a dead person after death.

If the assassins refuse to die at the critical moment... the pulling thread method will be responsible for forcing them to die.

So Bao Lin is actually the "head dog" of the female lawyer.

He controls a group of "fighting dogs" under the female lawyer.

It is the most powerful force in the hands of the female chief lawyer besides the apparent power of the Mountain and River Bureau.

Bao Lin's grandmaster and master both lived out their lives in the home of the female headmistress, and this was likely to be the case for her as well.

Therefore, she always worked diligently for the female judge. She knew who Xu Yuan was. If she wanted to deal with a deputy inspector of the Department of Excrement, she had to be careful not to leave any clues.

She brought her people and divided them into two groups.

A seventh-rate divine cultivator, accompanied by five others, disguised themselves as a small caravan and traveled in the open.

She brought two assassins with her, disguised as visiting her parents, and followed in secret.

After arriving in Shanhe County, I first conducted a detailed investigation and heard the rumors about Hegong Lane in the county.

This made her more cautious.

The two teams, one light and one secret, secretly observed around Hegong Lane for two days.

Didn't find anything special.

Aunt Wang's folding basket shop is still open as usual.

Every day, she would cook the leftovers from restaurants in a pot, pair them with pancakes that Aunt Wang baked herself, and sell them to the rough laborers at a very cheap price.

And when Aunt Wang is doing business, she also shouts very hard.

They would also haggle with customers for a long time over a penny.

Uncle Mao carries his tools every day, goes out early and comes back late, and makes furniture for his clients.

The carpenter has superb skills and knows how to measure when doing his work.

The host usually provides lunch. If there are a few slices of fat meat in the bowl, Uncle Mao will smile happily and work extra hard in the afternoon.

When settling the wages, they were really respectful to the employer.

It's obvious that he really relies on this skill to make a living. Haha.

Uncle Shen is old and can't do much.

Every day he would hang a sign for dog-skin plaster outside his door. If someone came to buy it, he would earn a few dozen coins. If no one came, he would tend to the tobacco field in his backyard.

Uncle Shen grows his own tobacco leaves, dries them, and then ages them for a few years. He then cuts them into fine shreds with a guillotine and smokes them himself.

Occasionally, old customers would come to buy some tobacco.

Lin Wanmo was guarding the old stage.

Renting a stage costs three taels and five cents of silver a night, which is not expensive, but not many people are willing to come to Hegong Lane to listen to opera, so it can only be rented out three or five times a year.

Usually, Lin Wanmo would carry his suitcases and go to the crowded streets in the city to set up a stall and perform shadow puppetry.

The income is also very meager.

If someone really had the ability, who could have endured such a hard life?
Although people in the county knew the legend, no one had ever seen the people in Hegong Lane with their own eyes, and no one knew what was so unusual about them.

However, Xu Yuan is very famous in the county.

People said that he was lucky in Qihetai Town and became a cultivator, which is why he was noticed by the big shots in the Exorcism Department and soared to fame.

On the fourth day in Shanhe County, Bao Lin gathered everyone together and said, "We'll start in the evening."

"Old Ding, you guys go in and arrest Lin Wanmo."

"Still have to be careful and try not to alert anyone else in the alley. If someone sees you, take them away too."

"If we can't take him away..." Bao Lin made a cutting gesture: "No one must be left alive!"

"I'll bring some people to pick you up secretly."

"After you succeed, go to the Sifang Inn in the west of the city. I will rent a yard there. We will return to Champa early tomorrow morning."

Old Ding is the seventh-rate divine cultivator.

"Okay." The plan was concise and clear. Lao Ding didn't ask any more questions and took people to prepare.

In the evening, the city gradually became quiet.

People rush home before dark and the streets become deserted.

Lao Ding and his men consisted of exactly six people, divided into two groups to guard the two entrances of Hegong Lane respectively.

There was no one left on the cobblestone street. Lao Ding watched as the last house diagonally across the street closed its door.

"Do it!"

Lao Ding came out from his hiding place, and the group of people at the other alley entrance also followed him out and walked quickly into the alley.

They had just entered the box when, at the other end of the cobblestone street, Grandma Ying, who had just won five cents playing mahjong with a group of old men, walked home with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.

Ah Hua held her head high and followed her grandmother majestically.
