Great Wei scholar

However, the tea shop was very desolate. Although the shop was still there, there were no customers, and the outside of the shop was also clean. There was only an old man packing his things.

"Shopkeeper, why are you packing up in broad daylight? Don't do business anymore?"

Seeing this scene, Yang Bao, who was driving the car, couldn't help shouting and asked the old man.

The old man who was tidying up couldn't help being respectful when he saw Yang Bao wearing an official uniform.

"My lord Huiguan, it's not that the old man doesn't do business. Some strange things have happened in Nanyu Mansion recently. There are monsters eating people. There are notices posted in the mansion. How dare I continue to do business. I can only go back and rest. After the matter is over Come again."

"However, if the two officials want to drink some herbal tea, I will get it for you now."

Seeing the official post, the old man was very respectful.

"Monsters eat people? What nonsense? This place is only thirty miles away from Nanyu Mansion. If there are demons, someone from the manor has already come to suppress them."

When Yang Bao opened his mouth, his first reaction was disbelief.

Although there are monsters in the world, it doesn't mean that there are so many monsters, just like stealing and robbery. This kind of thing happens everywhere, but it doesn't mean that there are robberies everywhere all the time.

It's nothing more than the seriousness of the problem.

Hearing Yang Bao's words, the old man burst into tears and said.

"Master Guan, I think the same way, but there is no way. The notices from the mansion have all come down. Look, this is a notice. I'm going to post it later before leaving this place."

"Several officials and lords wait a moment, I will prepare herbal tea."

The old man put the notice from the mansion on the table, and he also felt uncomfortable. No one in all the villages knew that his herbal tea was delicious and earned at least a few taels of silver every day, but now a man-eating monster made people panic.

He is also uncomfortable.

"Okay, please trouble the store."

Yang Bao is not the kind of person who bullies the common people, but he was really thirsty along the way, and besides, he agreed to invite Xu Qingxiao to drink herbal tea, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he lost his interest?

When the old man went to prepare herbal tea.

Xu Qingxiao also got out of the carriage.

Seeing that there was no movement outside, he simply got out of the car to have a look.

"Brother Leopard, Brother Hu, what's wrong?"

Xu Qingxiao got off the carriage and looked at the two of them curiously.

"It's nothing. The shopkeeper of the tea shop said that there was an ogre monster in Nanyu Mansion, and the mansion issued a notice to be vigilant to the people."

Yang Bao pointed to the notice on the table and said.

"Ogre demon?"

Xu Qingxiao was a little surprised, he set his eyes on the notice.

【Notice】

One year in Wuchang.

March 25.

There are demons messing with the law, and the government is currently investigating closely. I hope that traders, tourists and pedestrians in various places should pay more attention.

Once you notice something unusual, report to the official immediately and do not stay.

Nan Yu Mansion, the government capital yamen notice.

Seal: Li Guangxin, Lord of Nanyu Prefecture in the Great Wei Dynasty.

-

The notice is very simple.

Xu Qingxiao, who has been a man for two lifetimes, knows a truth, the fewer the words, the bigger the matter.

"Demons are in troubled times, so it's okay to be in a remote place, but if you dare to do evil around Nanyu Mansion, isn't that courting death?"

Xu Qingxiao looked away, he was a little curious.

It is not an extremely rare thing for monsters to harm people, but generally the crimes will be committed in some remote areas. After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it is difficult to investigate accidents in small places.

Although the imperial court once sent troops to guard and established many institutions, the effect was very poor.

It is relatively rare to choose a place like Fudu.

It's as if such a thing is basically impossible to happen in the imperial capital, and if it happens, it will be an insult to the state.

It is precisely because of this that most people want to live in the city.

"That's right, there are hundreds of counties and townships under the Nanyu Mansion, there are many incidents of monsters attacking people, but the mansion has never heard of it, this monster is too courageous."

Yang Bao nodded, agreeing with what Xu Qingxiao said.

"The scourge of demons will be wiped out by the imperial court sooner or later. I heard that His Majesty has sent someone to set up a new organization called Jinyi Tianwei. He intends to select talents from all over the world and cooperate with the Daoist sect."

"Specially to deal with these demons, as well as those who practice strange arts."

Yang Hu spoke out, he had heard some information, so he said it directly.

"Jinyi Tianwei?"

This is the first time Xu Qingxiao has heard of such a name. It is a bit like Jinyiwei, but Jinyi Tianwei sounds a bit tall.

"Well, Jinyi Tianwei directly obeys His Majesty's orders and wields great power."

"It is said that Jinyi Tianwei went to the counties, counties, towns and villages of the Great Wei Dynasty. Officials from all regions must fully cooperate and have the right to kill first and then play."

Yang Bao followed suit, revealing more information.

"Officials from all over the country are fully cooperating, cutting first and playing later?"

Xu Qingxiao clicked his tongue, this power is really outrageous.

Just fully cooperating means that the court attaches great importance to it, and this is even more extreme.

For a dynasty, the judiciary is the backbone, and everything, no matter how big or small, must go through a set of procedures.

Whether to kill or release is reported by various levels of governments in various places, and finally reviewed one by one by Dali Temple.

Responsibility is assumed for life, and names are left behind.

Once an unjust case is discovered, the most unlucky ones are the officials of Dali Temple, and then every level will be unlucky.

Judiciary is the foundation of a country.

And killing first and playing later is above the judicial system. This is a double sword. After all, no one is perfect. You can't control what you did wrong or who you killed wrongly.

Since ancient times, the greatest power is nothing more than killing first and playing later.

Good guy.

If there is a chance in the future, you must deal with this kind of person, otherwise you will die if you are targeted by this kind of person.

Xu Qingxiao kept an eye on her heart.

He practiced strange arts, no matter whether he would be found out or not, but if he was discovered and reported to the public, these people were not like Cheng Lidong, who cared about this and that.

Let's talk about it with a knife.

Just when Xu Qingxiao was thinking, the old man brought some bowls of herbal tea.

Yang Bao put a few copper coins and warmly greeted Xu Qingxiao to drink tea.

The herbal tea was clear and light green in color. When Xu Qingxiao was holding the tea and was about to drink it, suddenly, righteousness surged in his body.

For a moment, his pupils were a little cool, and then he looked at the herbal tea in his hand and found a faint white mist.

"It's weird!"

"Don't drink."

Xu Qingxiao shot directly, extremely quickly, and knocked out the teacups in the hands of Yang Bao and Yang Hu.

boom.

The teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

The two were a little puzzled, but they were not stupid. They put their hands on the handle of the knife almost instantly, alerting their surroundings.

Chen Xinghe in the carriage sensed something and walked out immediately.

"There's a problem with the tea."

Xu Qingxiao didn't waste his tongue, and explained the problem clearly in four words.

hiss.

Brothers Yang Bao and Yang Hu were shocked at once, and at the same time fixed their eyes on the old man, their eyes were full of murderous intent.

"My lord, my lord, I am wronged, I am wronged, how dare the old man mess around."

"My lord, I made this herbal tea myself, there can be no problem."

The old man was frightened and fell to his knees with a plop, terrified.

"Brother Bao, keep an eye on him, Brother Hu, please protect my senior brother, I'll go in and have a look."

Xu Qingxiao frowned, there must be something wrong with the tea, the righteousness in his body sensed something strange, so he protected himself.

If not, he wouldn't notice anything.

As for this old man, Xu Qingxiao didn't know if he had any problems, at least he had to go in and investigate.

"Brother Qingxiao, I will go in with you."

Yang Hu opened his mouth, holding the long knife tightly, worried that Xu Qingxiao would be in danger alone.

"No, if the other party uses poison, it won't be very strong, and I, Xu, have entered the rank anyway, so I have no fear of evil spirits."

Xu Qingxiao shook his head, he is now a tenth-rank martial artist, and he has a sense of righteousness in his body.

If the other party uses poison, it won't be much stronger, otherwise it still needs to use poison?

Simple logic allowed Xu Qingxiao to make the best judgment.

"Okay, if brother Xu doesn't come out within half a quarter of an hour, we'll kill him first, and then go in."

Yang Bao drew his saber, landed on the old man's neck, and said seriously.

As soon as he said this, the old man fainted on the spot.

And Xu Qingxiao nodded without thinking about anything.

"Brother, I will go in with you."

Chen Xinghe opened his mouth, he didn't want to stay here and be protected by others.

"No, brother, wait a moment."

Xu Qingxiao didn't wait for Chen Xinghe to say anything, and walked directly into the tea shop.

Chapter 29: Smashing the Cylinder

Inside the tea shop.

Xu Qingxiao's pace was slow, his expression was vigilant, and his awe-inspiring aura was circulating.

It is most appropriate to use awe-inspiring righteousness to deal with evil spirits. As for knives and guns, it is probably useless.

Although he knew that the other party used poison and was not much stronger, Xu Qingxiao was still extremely vigilant.

The interior of the tea shop is not big, there are only two tables in the shop, and most of the tables are placed outside.

Some tools for making herbal tea are placed.

No big deal.

Xu Qingxiao walked into the interior to take a look, and several large vats appeared, running with great righteousness, and there was a faint green light around the large vats.

Looking around, Xu Qingxiao moved his steps, and when he came to the water tank, Xu Qingxiao lifted the lid.

Vats of herbal tea swayed.

There is a layer of green light floating on all the herbal teas, ordinary people can't see it clearly, only Confucianists who have great righteousness.

"The herbal tea has already been poisoned."
