Chapter 17 The Liu Family Tragedy

 Leave the Yamen.

Shen Yi walked into a restaurant and ordered a pot of rice wine and six steamed buns.

 He hesitated for a moment and cut some more salt pork.

When entering the first realm, martial arts practitioners prefer food that contains essence to grains and grains. Unfortunately, the salary of a sergeant is far from being able to afford such luxury.

However, you still have to eat, so you have to control your mouth.

Shen Yi found a seat and sat down, taking a sip of rice wine and a bite of meat.

 It was noon, and the restaurant should have been crowded, but at this moment it was surprisingly deserted.

 There was no hint of joy in the expressions of the people coming and going, but there was no sadness in their expressions either. They all looked numb as they were accustomed to.

 Shen Yi lowered her head and took a bite of the steamed bun.

He is just a small official, he can't care about the suffering of all living beings, he can only try his best to crawl out of this mire.

 The guests at the few scattered tables were all engrossed in eating and drinking, and few were talking loudly.

 Therefore, even if the only two people chatting lowered their voices, their words still drifted into Shen Yi's ears.

 “There are dead people on Willow Street.”

"I know. I just came over there, Moti Moti, and I can't eat anything."

Shen Yi picked up the flask with an expressionless face and drank the slightly sour and bitter wine to make the choking noodles easier to swallow.

 Willow Street is the area under his jurisdiction. To be precise... that's where he woke up.

 But Shen Yi did not receive any news, not even as good as a few passers-by.

 Reminding me of Song Changfeng’s reminder before leaving.

The above action is quite fast, and you can cover your eyes and ears in such a short period of time.

 “I heard that he was bitten to death?”

“I told you to stop talking about whether you want to eat this meal or not... I went there early and saw it, and now I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about it.”

The two of them were sighing.

Shen Yi frowned and looked at the fire in her hand, also losing her appetite.

He asked for a lotus leaf to wrap up the remaining steamed buns and bacon, then reached out and picked up the sword: "Waiter, pay the bill."

 …

Boyun County, Liuye Street.

Several guards walked out of the small courtyard holding their noses: "It's really disgusting. I should have known I wouldn't have come."

“It’s not our brothers’ territory, so we are wandering in this muddy water.”

"Master Zhang, you have to ask for mercy from the higher-ups. It's okay to take care of two streets more. The salary can be increased."

Zhang Pengtian stared back: "Where's all this nonsense? If you don't want to do it, get out of here. If you don't do it, there will be others who will."

 When he turned back again, his whole body was stunned.

I saw a familiar young man standing in front of me. He was holding a knife and looking quietly towards the small courtyard.

 “Yo! Master Shen!”

 Zhang Pengtian hurriedly clasped his fists: "Which gust of wind invited you here."

Shen Yi nodded and stepped towards the courtyard.

Seeing this, the man surnamed Zhang quickly stretched out his hand to block it, and said with a smile: "If this is at the door of the brothel, brother, I will carry it in for Mr. Shen personally, and all expenses will be paid... But this is a business order ordered by the superiors, you can do it right now." Isn’t it appropriate?”

 Shen Yi lowered her eyes and looked.

Just two days ago, I was standing here and made the same action as the other party.

“Master Shen, even if you don’t give me face, you still have to give face to the pian.”

Seeing that he had no intention of retreating, Zhang Pengtian also stopped smiling: "I, Zhang, have just left my words here today. Anyone in Baiyun County can enter this courtyard, but you, Shen Yi, can't."

 In the past, they were afraid of Shen Yi, because they were afraid of the Yamen's regard for him.

 But now the limelight has turned. The person above is obviously targeting the person named Shen. Once the tiger's skin is pulled off, the other person is just a bluffing fox. “Brothers, give Mr. Shen something to drink so he can sober up.”

Zhang Pengtian waved his hand. At his signal, several people behind him instantly drew their swords three inches apart and looked over with furrowed brows.

 The next moment, an official boot was suddenly stamped on Zhang Pengtian's lower abdomen.

At the moment when the powerful force hit him, he didn't even have a chance to react, and he flew backwards like a torn sack.

Shen Yi patted the hem of his clothes and stepped straight in.

 “You...you want to rebel?!”

The remaining officers didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. They held the handle of the knife for a while and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, on the street, Chen Ji hurried over with the Niu brothers and Zhang Dahu.

Hurrying to the gate of the courtyard, he held the scabbard and smashed it down on his head and face: "You are so blind that you can't tell which street this is? Bind me!"

Hearing this, Zhang Dahu was stunned.

 Normally, this sentence is said by him, and it is generally used on ordinary people. It has not been tried on colleagues.

 Chen Ji didn't despise such bullying tactics before, but what's wrong today? He's even more skilled at swearing than himself.

Confused by doubts, Zhang Dahu and the Niu brothers still pounced on them and tied several of the servants into rice dumplings in a few strokes.

No matter what your opinion of Shen Yi is, if this is in front of outsiders, you can't lose your face!

 “Sure enough…”

Chen Ji was originally patrolling the streets. After hearing some rumors, he suddenly had a premonition, so he hurried over with his people.

“Sure enough, you seem to be smart. With Mr. Shen’s temper, how could he tolerate others fishing for his land.” Zhang Dahu spat.

Hearing this, Chen Ji glanced at the other party and felt that this explanation was quite acceptable, so he asked Zhang Dahu to apologize to his superiors.

 As for the real reason.

Although Chen Ji didn't believe it himself, he still felt that... it might be because the family was bitten to death by a monster.

Judging from Shen Yi's behavior in the village that day, if he wasn't pretending, he would definitely come over to take a look.

 …

 In the small courtyard.

Shen Yi knelt down and looked at the two corpses that had been put together with great difficulty on the straw mat.

 He took a deep breath and carefully arranged the five scattered fingers of the thin black girl.

It was this palm that washed my feet before. Although the technique was unfamiliar, it was quite enjoyable.

According to past practices, if they were killed by demons, there would probably be only a pile of wreckage left behind, but it was different today. Although the Liu family and his daughter were in pieces, even their ears and eyes were picked up and put back together, they were not destroyed. Traces of gnawing.

This is not a hunt, but a killing full of revenge!

Just like Huang Laoliu, demons also have relatives and friends. If anyone knew where the black-skinned dog demon went that night, they might not be able to guess who was responsible... but they don't need evidence for revenge, they just want to vent their anger. That’s it.

“No, this is your relative?”

Zhang Pengtian, who was kicked so hard that his whole body was in convulsions, struggled to raise his head: "You still beat me...bastard...what the **** can you do if you see it? If you have the ability, go to the magistrate and the demon envoy outside the city."

"This looks like the work of a dog demon. Can you find out who did it? Even if you can find it, what can you do?"

With the constant noise in his ears, Shen Yi felt depressed and confused.

 He pulled up the white cloth and covered the two corpses.

A small small service, couldn't call the Divine Division of the town, couldn't move the army of the city, and could only call a few legs to run a few legs.

 The only thing Shen Yi could rely on was a broken knife in his hand.

　　If you can’t find out who did it, then don’t look for it.

 …
