Chapter 23: The Difficulty of Mourning the World!

Wei Bin was soon convinced by Wang Cheng's reason and agreed to exchange 3 evil-killing talismans for all magic talismans, and then distributed 28 silver coins from 57 silver coins to Wang Cheng.

It was only then that Wang Cheng realized that Wei Bin was not an ordinary sergeant of the Demon Suppression Division, but a higher-level team leader, and the two dead soldiers were his direct subordinates.

According to Wei Bin himself, his team can receive two evil-killing talismans every year for personal use.

If you perform official duties, you can apply for special rules in advance, and if you consume more personal belongings during the official duties, you can also report to reimbursement afterwards.

This kind of treatment made Wang Cheng extremely envious. Compared with their constables, Wei Bin is the real way to eat public food.

However, although Wei Bin agreed to exchange with Wang Cheng, he only had two evil-killing talismans left in his hand, so the one he owed had to wait until he applied for a new magic talisman from Master Duan to make up for it.

In addition to exchanging magic talis with Wang Cheng, Wei Bin specially took the talisman leaves from his two subordinates as a small gift for him because of the reason Wang Cheng said earlier.

And on the way, he also told Wang Cheng some tips on dealing with ghosts, which benefited Wang Cheng a lot.

During this period, Wang Cheng also tried to inquire about the ghost village in Dasang Township with Wei Bin, wanting to know the truth about the ghost village.

However, when Wei Bin mentioned this, he directly rejected him on the grounds that the matter was confidential and told him not to inquire about it more, so as not to get into any trouble.

After about two hours of traveling, they arrived at the village seat of Dasang Township.

At this time, this rural area had completely become a barracks. More than 200 imperial soldiers and more than a dozen demon-suppressing cavalry were stationed here, and there were checkpoints to patrol the front and rear entrances and exits.

Even with Wei Bin's leadership, Wang Cheng and others were allowed to enter the rural governance after repeated inspections.

This way, we walked to the original village fortress. Wang Cheng, Liu Fei and Li Yuan were temporarily waiting outside. Wei Bin personally escorted the Mayi Taoist into the village fortress to pay homage to Duan Yanqing, the demon-suppressing captain.

After waiting for about half an hour, they were taken inside to pay homage to Duan Yanqing, the devil-suppressing captain, to explain his experience yesterday as a witness.

"Okay, I already know this. Your assistant to the Wei team is trying to capture the White Lotus Demon Dao. I should prepare a copy of the Dantu County Government to prove it. There should be rewards, and naturally the county government will issue it to you."

After hearing Wang Cheng and the other two, the demon-suppressing captain waved his hand and told him his own treatment results.

After saying that, he did not wait for the response of the three people, and then said coldly: "But I want to remind you that this matter involves ghosts. According to the rules of the court, you should not disclose to ordinary people. It is best to keep your mouth in your mouth after you go back, otherwise let the Demon Suppression Department hear the relevant news from you, be careful of your lives!"

"Yes, I understand."

Wang Cheng and the other two were shocked and quickly responded loudly.

After quitting the village fort like this, Wang Cheng was pulled aside by Wei Bin and gave him another talisman to kill evil.

"I borrowed this from the lieutenant just now, so you can collect it first."

After saying this, Wei Bin paused again, glanced around, and then lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry about the escaped evil spirit. With the White Lotus Demon Taoist, the Demon Suppressing Office will definitely find it and destroy it, but you should pay attention to the dike to retaliate against the White Lotus Demon. Try not to leave crowded places and go to remote places easily during this period!"

Wang Cheng's heart was shaking, and his face suddenly became serious. He had never thought about this.

If Wei Bin can remind himself so carefully, he doesn't think this kind of thing will definitely not happen.

I immediately nodded seriously and replied: "I understand, thank you Brother Wei for your advice."

Later, with Wei Bin's personal sending, the three of them left Dasang Township Township together with two drivers who were driving the car and returned to Lijiaping Town.

"Wang Cheng, you can do it. Unexpectedly, you will be brother to the devil-suppressing Master. You will be just around the corner when you will become successful!"

On the way back, Li Yuan forced himself to squeeze into a carriage with Wang Cheng, and found out about Wei Bin's relationship with him with curiosity and envy.

Wang Cheng didn't mind raising the tiger-skin-wearing banner to win benefits for himself, and immediately said, "It's just Lord Wei's love. Otherwise, with my little abilities, how could I get to his eyes on!"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you are so modest, right? Li knows that the yard you live in is originally the property of my uncle Changxin, a member of the fifth house of the Li family."

"You are from the county town and you probably haven't met Uncle Changxin before, but he is willing to live in the yard for you. This must be what your master Li Guandi means?"

"It is possible to ask Master Li to say hello to Uncle Changxin for you, which shows that your status in his heart must be beyond the reach of ordinary disciples!"

A shrewd look flashed on Li Yuan's face, but he told all Wang Cheng's situation as if he had known it.

These words also made Wang Cheng know that Captain Du chose Li Yuan as the leader of the temporary inspection station, probably not only because of his relationship with the Li family, but also because of his trust in his abilities.

He is indeed an old constable who has been in the county government for ten years!

Wang Cheng said in his heart, and said with a look of surprise on his face: "Taoer Li, you are really amazing. Even Liu Fei doesn't know about this. Could you tell me if you can do it!"

Seeing this, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehehe, you guys have to learn a lot. Although we are just small people, we have to learn a lot. You can learn a little more now, even if you go to a place like the Demon Suppression Division in the future, you will definitely be able to use these!"

After saying that, he paused slightly and said with a kind smile: "I know you become crazy about martial arts practice. When you go back, you will be on duty in the public housing."

On duty in public housing, it is actually to be a contact receptionist, specifically to receive tolerance officers from Dantu County, or other well-known people in Lijiaping Town.

This kind of thing may not necessarily be done once a day, and it is the most leisurely thing. However, it was originally a work prepared by Li Yuan himself.

Now that he asked Wang Cheng to do this, it was the most obvious demonstration.

Wang Cheng naturally understood this, and immediately bowed to him with gratitude, saying, "I'll thank Boss Li, then."

"It's easy to say."

Li Yuan responded with a smile, and immediately got off the carriage with satisfaction, rode the horse he rode when Liu Fei came, and rode the horse he rode first.

After the team returned to Lijiaping Town safely, Wang Cheng first went back to his yard and left one of the three evil-killing talismans exchanged from Wei Bin for spare use. The remaining ones and a small bag of silver were packed in bags and buried in the woodshed.

When he came out of his residence and went to the public housing station where the temporary inspection office was working, he saw many villagers gathering outside, and heard noises and crying inside.

After inquiring, he realized that this was a villager who was bewitched and controlled by the White Lotus Demon Dao yesterday. He came to the government to seek compensation for his grievances.

Although they all deliberately kept their hands yesterday and did not kill the villagers who were bewitched and controlled, the number of villagers who died was as many as hundreds.

So many people died at once, and there were even many children and elderly people. Even the old saying goes that the people do not fight with officials and the villagers who are extremely sad because of the loss of relatives dare to come to the government to ask for an explanation.

In Wang Cheng's opinion, the villagers were indeed wrong in this matter, and they should not believe the devilish words of the White Lotus Demon and drink the Talisman Shui Soup.

But the government is also responsible.

After all, the government collects heavy taxes and often collects villagers for labor service, which has the responsibility of protecting villagers.

The White Lotus Demon Dao confuses the village. The government first has the responsibility to fail to observe, and then cannot stop the killing of the White Lotus Demon Dao in time, which will affect the villagers' deaths and injuries. This is also a responsibility to protect the people.

Therefore, it is not entirely unreasonable for villagers to seek compensation from the government.

Unfortunately, Wang Cheng is just a little constable, and his views can only represent himself and cannot affect the government.

The county government represented by Li Yuan was very annoyed by the villagers' "unreasonable trouble".

Their idea was that the villagers were ignorant and deceived by the White Lotus Demon Dao, which killed the two soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division, and many of their constables and yamen runners were injured. It would be good that they did not pursue the villagers' guilt for this. How could they give the villagers compensation instead?

Sure enough, Wang Cheng soon heard Li Yuan's angry roar sounding from the public room.

"You group of bold and unruly people, do you know what your behavior was yesterday? That was a rebellion that wanted to behead the head and kill the nine clans!"

"If Lord Wei had not been kind-hearted and the court would have pity for your hard life, so you would not have been held accountable. Now you will all be sent to the county jail to be detained, waiting for the death to beheaded in the autumn!"

"I am now sternly warning you to get out of here and go back to your home immediately. Otherwise, I will not blame you for the crime of attacking the consignee, and all of them were cut off on the spot!"

clang clang clang!

It seemed to be like Li Yuan's words, and waves of sword drawing sounded immediately as his words fell.

Then Wang Cheng saw the crowd surrounding the gate in front of him retreating and staggered out more than a dozen and half-way people, women and children.

After these people ran out of the yard with panic and helpless expressions on their faces, some left here dejectedly, some sighed and scolded the unfairness of the world, and some sat on the ground, crying and shouting the names of their deceased relatives.

When those onlookers saw this scene, some of them couldn't bear to show sympathy, while others clenched their fists with anger, but more people shook their heads helplessly and turned and left.

Judging from the appearance of these people, it is obvious that hundreds of lives will be in vain, and no one will be responsible for this.

Even the White Lotus Demon Dao would not be executed in Dantu County, nor would these villagers have the opportunity to see the scene of the culprit's death.

This world...

Wang Cheng shook his head for a while, then turned around and left and returned to his residence.
