The Night Watchman of Another World: I know a lot of things
Chapter 12: Dragon Throat, Reverse Scale
"Stop talking nonsense. Where did they go?"
"It's been too long, Brother Tiger! You definitely can't catch up now.
Besides, when did our Night Patrol also take on the part-time job of catching thieves? "
Yang Qing wanted to delay for a few more words, but finally pointed in a direction under Xing Hu's "stern" gaze.
However, Xing Hu's gaze followed the direction Yang Qing pointed and looked at the meteorite dagger in his hand.
“Brother Tiger, don’t look at it, this is what they threw to me.
I guess he gave it to me on a whim because he saw that my original knife was bitten into pieces by an evil spirit.
Let me make it clear that I am not in the same group with them."
Yang Qing also noticed Xing Hu's gaze towards the dagger, so he explained awkwardly.
Xing Hu's eyes swept across Yang Qing's tattered clothes, the broken sword fragments scattered on the ground, and the two hideous centipede-like scabs on Yang Qing's back.
You can imagine how thrilling the battle was at that time.
As a night watchman fighting on the front line of evil, he knew too well how important a good weapon was to someone like him who risked his life.
"Of course I know you don't know them, otherwise you wouldn't think they were the Night Watchmen.
The knife was put away. Although it was short, it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
Of course, after all, this is stolen goods, so don’t take it out at other times except when you are on night patrol, lest others see it.”
After saying that, Xing Hu looked at Yang Qing deeply.
"Look at you, who is fighting for life and death, but you are still using a broken knife that looks like scrap metal. And those guys hiding behind people are really not worthy of using such a good thing."
After saying that, Xing Hu jumped onto the roof of a nearby house, then walked along the eaves in the direction Yang Qing had pointed.
At the same time, in a secret room of Honglang Club.
Zhou Changfeng, the inspector of Hengzhou Prefecture, was sitting in the middle, while his son Zhou Huahao, wearing a piece of ill-fitting clothes, stood aside, his face full of resentment.
A young man in a strong posture was kneeling on one knee, apologizing to Zhou Changfeng.
"Foster father, I was negligent in this matter. Please give me a few days. I will definitely catch the two thieves and give you and my foster brother an explanation."
"Humph!"
Zhou Huahao on the side snorted coldly, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.
But Zhou Changfeng, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hand and said with a warm face: "Okay, Zhou Yan, you and I are father and son, why do we need to talk about this.
Besides, what does this have to do with you? It's hard enough for you to manage such a big mess of Yingfeng Gang."
After saying that, Zhou Changfeng smiled and took out a small piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhou Yan, and at the same time changed the subject.
"However, I do have a few other things that may require your help. Take a look at this first."
Zhou Yan took the note. Based on his experience, this should be an order similar to a hunting order. There were only two people's information written on it:
Chen Weiwei, 19 years old, is a cultivator from Qingxiao Temple in Baisha Prefecture. His cultivation level is at the Life and Soul Realm. His soul has four spirits, and he is good at close combat. His soul weapon is a pair of mandarin duck axes.
Chen Dangdang, 17 years old, is a cultivator from Qingxiao Temple in Baisha Prefecture. His cultivation level is at the Soul Realm. He has four spirits, is good at hand seal techniques, and his soul weapon is unknown.
"These two are the daughters of Chen Boguang, the former head of Baisha Prefecture. If my guess is correct, they are the two female thieves who robbed Hua Hao tonight.
They’re coming for me.”
Zhou Changfeng said with a serious face.
“This Chen Boguang had been investigating our child trafficking case before his death, but it has been resolved by the Liu family of Baisha Prefecture.
But this guy's two daughters still found the clue to us from his belongings.
All along, we have been capturing children by disguising them as evil spirits and then selling them to Baisha Prefecture. Chen Boguang must have found something."
"Yes! Godfather. I will arrange for someone to search for them immediately.
But are you sure they found out anything about you?
Has solid evidence been reported to the Hengzhou government, or are they just secretly investigating a clue?"
Upon hearing that someone was investigating him, Zhou Yan's face turned very ugly.
Impersonating evil spirits and trafficking children are serious crimes. Once they are made public, they will have no place to stand in Hengzhou Prefecture. He doesn't believe that Zhou Changfeng will protect him at that time.
“I don’t know, but I don’t think there is any important evidence.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to Hengzhou Prefecture to investigate us after failing to investigate further in Baisha Prefecture.
I can't take direct action on this matter, so you should find an opportunity to deal with them.
Remember, these two are monks and they are both quite skilled, so you need to make a thorough plan and it would be best to deal with them both at once.
We have recently recruited quite a few down-and-out monks, so having more people won’t be a problem.”
Zhou Changfeng instructed.
"Yes! Godfather!
Don't worry, leave this to me, I will do it properly."
Zhou Yan agreed, then a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he asked again.
"Godfather, there is one thing I don't understand. Please help me solve it."
"You said."
“You said that ordinary people only cost a few dozen taels each, and if they were bought as servants or slaves, they could still work.
What did the Liu family want this child under the age of six for? And they even offered a price of nearly a thousand taels per person.
Are there any other issues here?"
"Why are you asking this? You just need to know that this is a business. One thousand taels per person, ten people equals ten thousand taels. How can you make more money than this?
Moreover, for every hundred children, there will be a Blood Infant Pill given away, which is a good thing that can nourish the soul and temper the soul soldiers.
This is out there, but you can't even ask for it. Even if you have a guilty conscience, you don't have to go against this kind of medicine."
Seeing that Zhou Yan, who was kneeling, still had a conflicted look on his face, Zhou Changfeng continued speaking.
"I know what you are worried about, but they are just some innocent children. If we don't do it, there will be others who will.
Hengzhou is a huge prefecture with nearly one million people. The loss of just a few dozen or a hundred children will not have much of an impact.
In the entire Hengzhou Prefecture, at least a hundred or eighty people die every day.
How about this, you just follow my instructions and I will take charge of the next Blood Infant Pill, and it will be yours when the time comes."
Zhou Changfeng stared into Zhou Yan's eyes and said sternly.
"Yes, thank you very much, godfather."
When Zhou Yan heard that the next Blood Infant Pill would belong to him, his eyes were filled with surprise again.
"Don't thank me yet, there is still something I need you to do."
After saying that, Zhou Changfeng took another scroll from the side and spread it out on the table.
Zhou Yan only took a glance and found that this was a city defense plan of Hengzhou Prefecture.
However, on this picture, someone had roughly drawn a dragon pattern with a fine vermilion brush.
"The mountain range of our Hengzhou Prefecture originates from Hengyue Mountain. This map shows the dragon vein trend of our Hengzhou Prefecture.
Now help me do something.
In a few days, the Liu family of Baisha Prefecture will send a branch to settle down in Hengzhou Prefecture and take root here.
You also know that I have a close relationship with the Liu family. The current head of the Liu family, Liu Changsheng, was my old boss. So when they come, I can't just watch, I have to show my appreciation in some way.
They want to build a big house in Hengzhou Prefecture, and they have some requirements on the location. Can you help me see if there is a suitable place in this area?
This house must be large, grand, and comfortable.”
After saying that, Zhou Changfeng drew a circle at the throat of the dragon vein on the map.
"This area is the throat of the dragon vein on the map!
The Liu family's request is really strange. Foster father, is there any explanation for the feng shui of this place?"
“I don’t know the details, I only know that there is a reverse scale at the dragon’s throat, and if you touch it, it will be angry. It is a taboo place, and this is also true in Feng Shui.
The Liu family asked me to build them a house in such a dangerous place. They must have their own secrets.
But a family like this that has been passed down for hundreds of years must have something, and this is not something we can find out."
