"Lord Ling!" The three were about to enter the room when they saw several people inside standing up one after another.

Then, a big bearded man with slightly different attire came out with a group of people.

"Captain Yang." Ling Qi bowed and introduced Su Qinchao and Monk Ziyan to the others.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they went into the house together to discuss how to arrange for the people in the house who had not yet woken up.

Young Master Huang Qi has been setting up this illusion in the poplar forest for several years.

This is not the first or second time that these detectives have encountered this kind of thing.

Every time someone reports a missing person, if there are no particularly obvious signs of a crime, this is the first place to go.

They all gained experience, especially Captain Yang, who even became familiar with a few weasels who were a little more skilled and knew how to transform.

However, this time he originally planned to use the same trick again and wanted to find a few great immortals to make a big thing small or a small thing nothing.

But surprisingly, we searched several of their hideouts but couldn't find any trace of them.

In addition, in the past, they would just look for a few civilians and send one or two constables to find the person and send him home, and that would be the end of the matter.

But this time it actually involved a fourth-rank imperial guard general from Chang'an.

You have to know that the fourth rank official under the emperor is much more valuable than the head of a state.

This was the first time I had heard of such a high official title, not to mention that I had never seen one before.

When he came, he heard his master say that this was the emperor's close minister who was in charge of the protection of the capital.

It is said that if one is promoted to the next level, he will be able to meet the emperor at any time and become a third-rank general of the Imperial Guard. This is truly out of reach.

Therefore, the county magistrate paid special attention to this time and transferred all of them here.

If he wasn't worried about the government office being unattended, the county magistrate would have sent the guards from the prison as well...

"Your Excellency, I personally think it would be better to wait until morning to make arrangements." Captain Yang thought for a moment.

Then he respectfully told the three people headed by Su Qinchao his reasons in detail:

The mountain road is winding and difficult to walk on, and the nearest village is more than ten miles away.

Moreover, there are always wild beasts on the road, and the places where these people live are very scattered, so they cannot spare so many people to follow and protect them.

As for the possible problems such as being trapped in a maze, they were analyzed in detail.

"If it was just one or two civilians, it would be fine. At most, we would take turns to carry them out, but now there are so many people, we are really powerless for the time being."

"Yes! Sir."

"Yes!" The several constables following behind Captain Yang also echoed one by one.

"What do you think?" Su Qin glanced at the sky outside the house and estimated the time.

Then he looked at Monk Ziyan and Ling Qi who were following him one by one.

It seems to be almost three quarters past three in the morning, and the morning star will come out soon.

Besides, the sun rises early this month, so I can wait, but...

He didn't know if he was being too sensitive, but he always felt that these three people looked quite normal.

In fact, every word he said seemed to be persuading them to stay for the time being, as if it was safest to stay here and wait until dawn.

I don’t know if they both have this feeling.

"I don't think it's possible." The monk slowly opened his eyes which had been lowered.

The hand that was originally performing a single-palm salute suddenly formed a bodhi finger and flicked it towards Captain Yang's forehead.

Bang~ Then a few strange and shrill animal roars were heard out of nowhere.

Then the candlelight suddenly went out in the whole room, and it was instantly shrouded in pitch-black darkness.

Even the moonlight outside the house could not penetrate at all.

For a moment, the only light left was the small bamboo lamp in Su Qinchao's hand, which still had a faint, invisible light.

However, in this boundless darkness, it was only enough to illuminate the small area under his feet.

"They've been possessed by a weasel!" A calm, clear, and slightly hurried voice came from the darkness from Monk Yan.

I couldn't tell where the sound came from, but it definitely wasn't from my side.

"What should I do then?" Su Qinchao stretched out his hand and looked around.

But in the next moment, a warm and slender hand held my hand and squeezed it.

This is Ling Qi's hand. Su Qin shook it back. He could still feel the familiar thin calluses on Ling Qi's palm.

"Don't move, wait for me for a moment." The monk Ziyan finished speaking.

After a few more unknown animal cries, Su Qinchao felt as if there was something around him, moving back and forth like the wind.

Until he suddenly felt himself being dragged little by little in an unknown direction.

He then realized what was entangled him.

"Su Qinchao." Ling Qi also felt it, and he pulled the person back into his arms tightly.

Then he searched all over his body until he touched the things wrapped around the waist of the person in his arms.

"It's tails, a lot of small and fluffy tails." Ling Qi whispered in Su Qinchao's ear.

He then drew out the dagger from his waist and tried to cut it bit by bit.

“Squeak— —!!!

"squeak-!"

Almost every time he cut, Su Qinchao could hear some barely audible screams.

Small and tender, they look like millions of baby weasels.

"Forget it, these look like weasel cubs." Su Qinchao finally couldn't help but stop Ling Qi.

He couldn't bear to hear the cries of the cubs; it was too upsetting.

"They don't have any good intentions!" Ling Qi hugged the person in his arms tightly.

He still remembered what Monk Ziyan said, that the weasel named Master Huang Qi wanted to practice dual cultivation with this man, so he extracted his soul.

If Monk Ziyan had not arrived in time, even if his life was not in danger, his soul would have been separated from his body and he would have become a fool.

"I know. I still have you. They will definitely not be able to drag you away. Besides, I believe in Monk Ziyan. Look, isn't the moonlight shining through outside?"

Su Qin pointed at a broken window through which some light could be seen.

Although the room was still abnormally dark, it also showed that Monk Ziyan had almost finished packing up those things.

Sure enough, within half a quarter of an hour, the candles in the house were lit with a "beep" sound.

The monk who spoke of himself stood beside the two of them again, as if he had never left.

There were only the common people who had not woken up yet and a few constables who were lying on the table, unaware of the situation.

There were several more weasels, big and small, fixed on the ground and unable to escape.

Especially the circle of palm-sized little animals with broken tails and tearful eyes crawling under the feet of Su Qinchao and Ling Qi.

"Tsk, what a sin." Su Qinchao turned his head away reluctantly and stopped looking.

He originally liked fluffy animals, and he really couldn't bear to see such a miserable scene.

I don’t know how these old guys, who have become so smart, can bear to let their grandchildren, who are still breastfeeding, do such a thing.
