First, there were dozens of records of the victims in the county government office, and Fang Sheng felt that Li Ziwen probably didn't want his own political achievements to be affected too much, so he cut corners and concealed some information.
Among these information, the people died in various ways. Some died from having their blood sucked out, some died from having their limbs dismembered, and some died suddenly.
Therefore, Fang Sheng judged that the so-called shadow goblin might not be a single creature, but a social creature.
The second one is Shadow Mandrill’s attack method.
Previously, he had deduced that Shadow Goblin possessed four abilities: bloodsucking, slashing, hiding, and bewitching. After reading the information, Fang Sheng added one more ability: possession.
In the county government's records, there is a document that records that a folk hero encountered a physical shadow demon that was harming people, so he rescued the people and killed it on the spot.
However, later, as the physical Shadow Goblin died, his body turned into an ink-like shadow and attached itself to the rescued people.
Finally, when the knight was not paying attention, it bit the knight's neck and killed him.
After figuring this out, Fang Si's expression became more serious.
"The entity can't be killed? Even if it is killed, it will transform into a shadow and possess someone else's body, thus surviving..."
In the end, Fang Si came up with a very silent answer.
If you want to deal with this kind of thing, you must rely on those aliens with special abilities, and they must have powerful attack and killing abilities that can hit the virtual body.
"It's really troublesome..."
After pondering for a moment, Fang Si got up and went out. It was now around eight or nine o'clock in the morning. According to his estimation, someone should have seen the recruitment order posted by the county magistrate.
Of course, he didn't go to see the Recruiting Heroes Order, he went out to eat.
The world is big, but eating is the most important thing.
Even if I'm going to die in two days, I'm not dead yet, right?
What's more, there's no point in him being anxious now. Without the alien warrior, he can't even touch the Shadow Goblin.
After exchanging silver and Li Ziwen for some copper coins, Fang Si went to the restaurant to eat something.
Of course, Fang Si had his own purpose for going to the restaurant. After all, if he wanted to have a simple meal, he could just ask the servants of the county government to bring him one.
The main reason for coming to the hotel was to find out some information about the county magistrate.
Li Ziwen dared to be fearless about Shadow Xiao's affairs. This was clearly his specialness, and Fang Si would certainly not turn a blind eye to it.
After eating, he sighed that the food in the Han Dynasty was really bad, and he returned to the county government office.
This time, before he returned to his residence, he saw a lot of people gathered at the gate of the county government office.
Seeing this, Fang's death was something he had anticipated.
Although Li Ziwen was only a county magistrate, he was not poor, and could even be considered very wealthy. Fang Si could tell this from his clothes.
Fang Sheng's own clothes, including the clothes of the corpse Lu Gong, were all made of a plant fiber similar to hemp, but not hemp.
Fang Si didn't know what material this kind of clothes was made of, but he could feel that it was definitely a plant fiber because it felt terrible.
Compared with their standard uniforms, Li Ziwen's clothes were much more delicate. At first glance, Fang Si knew that they were definitely made of silk without even touching them.
To be honest, if he hadn't asked around in the restaurant just now and found out that Li Ziwen was just transferred here, he would have thought that this old guy came here specifically to raise Shadow Goblin.
After all, he was obviously a descendant of a family. Why would he have nothing better to do than to come to this remote county to serve as a county magistrate?
Of course, Fang Shi has no intention of getting involved in these trivial matters, and even welcomes them to happen.
The richer Li Ziwen is, the more people he can invite, and there may even be quite a few extraordinary people, after all, money can move people's hearts.
Just at this moment, the guards of the county government saw Fang Si walking over and hurriedly welcomed him in.
"Chief Fang, you're finally here! The county magistrate is waiting for you!"
Fang Si nodded, without saying anything more, and walked into the county government office with the guards.
After arriving at the lobby of the county government office, he immediately saw Li Ziwen pacing back and forth in the lobby.
At this time, Li Ziwen had completely woken up, and his face was no longer as gloomy as it was in the morning. Instead, he had a sad look on his face.
When Li Ziwen saw Fang Si coming, he immediately showed a look of joy, as if he had completely forgotten that he was woken up in the morning, and walked up to him.
"Hey Brother Fang, you're finally here. Do you think these people can handle it?"
To be honest, Li Ziwen actually felt that Fang's method of death was quite unreliable. After all, all one hundred of their regular troops were wiped out. What use would it be to find a group of ordinary people like this?
Of course, it wasn't just Li Ziwen who was worried. Fang Si himself was also worried.
If there is no other way, who would be willing to find a tall one among the short ones?
Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, Fang Si could not show it on his face, because if he was as indecisive as Li Ziwen at this time, he was not sure whether Li Ziwen was okay, but he was definitely dead.
So he nodded confidently.
"Don't worry, Magistrate Li, I will make arrangements."
Chapter 513 Everyone has a trump card.
Seeing Fang Si say that he had arrangements, Li Ziwen's face relaxed, but he didn't ask him what the specific arrangements were. After all, if Fang Si didn't say it, then if something went wrong in the end, it would be Fang Si's own problem.
Therefore, he patted Fang Si's shoulder, nodded earnestly and said.
"In that case, Brother Fang, I'll leave this matter to you. I hope you won't disappoint me."
Fang Si nodded without any expression on his face, but his heart was moved.
As Li Ziwen left, Fang Si looked at his back, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
Li Ziwen's words just now were undoubtedly a warning to him, telling him that if he couldn't handle this matter well, the responsibility would be his.
However, compared to these obvious things, Fang Si noticed another point.
Li Ziwen... seemed not only not worried that they couldn't deal with Shadow Goblin, no, it couldn't be said that he wasn't afraid, but he was just not that worried.
In other words, he's not afraid of things getting out of control...
"Interesting, do you not understand the harm of these things, or do you have some means..."
Just now while having dinner, Fang Si learned from the restaurant owner that Li Ziwen was not a native of Qingshan County, but a family member transferred from another place.
Therefore, Fang Si felt that even if Li Ziwen was unwilling to get involved in matters related to strange people because he wanted to protect his reputation, he at least knew the dangers of these mysterious creatures.
and so…
"It seems like he has a trump card. I just don't know what gives him the confidence to not be afraid of the situation getting out of control..."
Fang Si narrowed his eyes. Because Li Ziwen's identity was special and he didn't know what cards he had in his hand, it was not appropriate for him to take action against him now.
The key point is that he has no one under his command and cannot fight himself. If he really wants to attack Li Ziwen, he has to plan and use some stupid tricks.
In fact, given Fang Si’s current situation, it might not be possible for someone else to handle the situation, but there are no ifs in the world after all, and Fang Si does have some tricks up his sleeve.
"Let's suppress it first. If we can't find a solution today, we'll drag him into it."
In the end, Fang Si did not attack him directly.
Firstly, his values are still influenced by the thoughts of college students in the new era. Although he is decisive, he is not very cruel. Secondly, his current situation is not suitable for taking direct action against him.
As Li Ziwen left, Fang Si also walked out and headed to the front hall of the county government office, which was the gathering place for the knights who had arrived today.
Fang Si asked the servant who was leading the way as he walked towards the front hall.
“How many people came this time?”
Hearing Fang Si's question, the servant was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and said.
"Sir, I'm not very clear about this, but I just took a quick look and there should be about thirty people."
This time, Li Ziwen was very generous. As long as you participated in this exorcism activity, no matter what the final result was, you would receive a reward of 100 taels of silver. Therefore, many people came.
Of course, it is only a relative amount. After all, everyone is not a fool. The more money you pay, the more dangerous the things will be. Therefore, most of those who dare to come are capable.
And I believe that with these two skills, I can survive this incident.
After hearing the servant's words, Fang Si walked towards the front hall while thinking deeply.
After a while, as the servant opened the door of the front hall for him, Fang Si saw several groups of people sitting in the room.
The front hall is called a house, but it is not actually a house. It is a small courtyard without a roof and surrounded by a brick wall. The only furnishings inside are some chairs and some wooden stakes used for practicing chopping and hitting. At a glance, you can tell that this is the place where the county constables are usually trained.
In the front hall now, standing in the center was a group of burly men. Most of them were wearing black coarse linen clothes and had axes hanging around their waists. At first glance, Fang Si almost thought that the Axe Gang had arrived.
In addition to this group of big men, there was a young man in a Taoist robe leaning against the edge of the courtyard wall on the left side. Although he was young, Fang Si keenly noticed that there was something wrong with his eyes.
It seems to be a taste of vicissitudes.
Because he followed his father since he was a child, Fang Si has an excellent eyesight.
And because he was a Taoist priest, Fang Si took a few more glances at him. After all, in this period, Taoism was not widely promoted and Taoist priests were still rare.
In addition to this Taoist priest, on the right side is a young man and woman wearing very similar robes.
Looking at the identical patterns on their clothes and the two equally childish faces, Fang Si guessed that these were probably disciples from a sect that came from some mountain.
Of course, because there were some records about extraordinary people in the information obtained from the county magistrate, Fang Si certainly would not think that they were a sect of extraordinary people. After all, extraordinary people cannot be created artificially.
Even if it breaks the sky, it is just a martial arts sect.
Apart from these people, the others didn't look particularly remarkable. They were dressed just like passers-by. Some of them were standing leisurely in the courtyard, while others were sitting on the ground in a completely ungraceful manner because they couldn't get a chair.
When they saw the courtyard gate open, but the person who came in was not the county magistrate Li Ziwen, but Fang Si, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked at Fang Si.
As everyone looked at him, Fang Si was not nervous, but glanced at everyone calmly.
“Since you are all here, I believe you all know why we have summoned you here.
If there is anyone who is timid and only wants to gain some money, please give me some dignity and leave on your own.
Don't let yourself get scared and die when you see swords and guns, and then regret it too late."
Hearing Fang Si's words, everyone narrowed their eyes.
There is no doubt that Fang Si's words sounded contemptuous to these people, but Fang Si's words were also very sophisticated and just right.
While scolding everyone, he also advised them to reconsider out of concern that they might lose their lives.
Moreover, they were told, both explicitly and implicitly, that the reward for this event would be substantial.
Suddenly, the girl, who was surrounded by many big men with axes on their waists, sat up from the chair, separated the big men with axes on their left and right, came to the front of Fang Si, clasped her fists and asked a question.
"I am Liu Huolong, the fourth in command of Qinglong Village. May I know who you are?"
Hearing Liu Huolong's words, Fang Si looked at her in surprise. The girl in front of him, although young and looking only about twenty years old, had a hideous scar on her face.
After glancing at her, Fang Si asked meaningfully.
"Why, now when a mouse sees a cat, he dares to ask for directions?"
Liu Huolong's face turned dark, knowing that Fang Si was referring to her, a bandit, who dared to come to the government office so brazenly.
Although he was angry, he still put on a smile.
There’s nothing we can do, since Fang Si is a cat.
"Sir, you must be joking. Although Qinglong Village is a village, we have always abided by the law in Qingshan County for many years. We have paid the due taxes and done what we should do. How can we be considered a rat or a mouse?"
After listening to what she said, Fang Si finally understood.
This so-called Qinglong Village is definitely a bandit village, but it is probably also a "legal" illegal household that pays money to the county magistrate on time and every month.
Although he didn't understand what he was supposed to do, Fang Si had no intention of pursuing the matter. After all, the main issue now was to deal with Shadow Mandrill.
"I'm from Jingzhao Yin. As for who I am, all you need to remember is my last name, Fang. As for this incident, the county magistrate will not be involved. You are all under my command."
As he spoke, Fang Si turned his gaze towards Liu Huolong again.
"If you can really help me capture the Shadow Goblin this time, I can decide and add a zero to the 100 taels of silver."
When Liu Huolong heard Fang Si's words, his heart was shocked.
There are actually not many people in Qinglong Village at this stage. Although she and her elder brother are all extraordinary people, Qinglong Village must be short of money, otherwise she would not have come out to accept the task of county magistrate.
And one thousand taels is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for them now.
Chapter 514: Even though I have no money, I still have to talk big.
Fang Si had no money, but that didn't stop him from saying he wanted to give money to Liu Huolong.
Anyway, if the problem cannot be solved, he will die. We can deal with it later when the problem is solved.
