Chapter 56 Too Dark
Chu Qiguang, who was on the side, couldn't feel Qiao Zhi's strangeness, so he just asked, "Master Qiao, you are hiding so close, can this Fayuan Taoist not notice you?"
Qiao Zhi proudly said: "Hey! Don't you know that the cat tribe is best at lurking and moving the battlefield? Unless the Taoist priest uses talismans or elixirs, he won't be able to find me just by relying on his martial arts realm."
Chu Qiguang knew that the three unique skills that Tianshijiao was best at were talisman, swordsmanship and elixir.
Among them, talismans and elixirs belong to the road of cultivation, while swordsmanship belongs to the road of martial arts.They are "Zhengyifalu", "Zhengyijianjing" and "Zhengyidanjing".The "Sumi Mountain King Sutra" that they and Ding Daoxiao took away is one of the 25 righteous methods.
Most Taoist priests in ordinary Taoist temples have practiced swordsmanship, but in a Taoist temple, only Jianzhai has the talisman granted by Tianshijiao. It is a real supernatural power. The greatest reliance of the Taoist temple taught by Tianshi to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
As for Taoist priests like Fa Yuan, they can only rely on swordsmanship, experience and pills to subdue demons.
Qiao Zhi added: "A Taoist priest like Fa Yuan, if he doesn't take medicine and doesn't have amulets, is no different from warriors of the same level."
Chu Qiguang asked Qiao Zhi again about the talismans and pills taught by Tianshi, wondering if he could get some pills from Fa Yuan that he couldn't usually buy in the future, and even used this as an excuse to get in touch with him further. Taoism is higher.
……
Chu Qiguang then exchanged a few words with the two of them, and by the way, Taoist Fayuan also told Gu Butou about the fox demon's judgment.
With Yin Zi's adjustment, the atmosphere seemed to be much more harmonious all of a sudden.
Chu Qiguang hit the iron while it was hot: "I heard that the Hao family also issued a reward for the blood corpse case?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Butou immediately said: "There is a reward of 1000 taels, and when the money arrives at the county government, the reward will be based on merit and the money will be distributed.
Daoist Fayuan, you are very capable. This time you can find out the fox demon, and it is even more blessed by the Taoist priest. You should be able to get 1000 taels for the 400 taels.
Although I don't have any skills, those brothers under my command these days have no hard work and have made credit, so they have the cheek to take 300 taels of silver.
The county lord is in charge of the overall situation these days, planning strategies, and the contribution of 200 taels of silver is always required..."
At the end, Gu Butou looked at Chu Qiguang, frowned and said, "Young Master Chu, you provided the fox demon's guess, and then you can take 100 taels of silver."
Gu Wei, the head catcher, distributed the rewards between a few words and a few words. The county venerables, Taoist temples, and guards were not missing, but they only left 100 taels for Chu Qiguang, which can be called leftovers. Qi Guang stuffed him with 10 taels of silver, otherwise Gu Wei could have pressed him even harder.
Even from Gu Wei's point of view, Chu Qiguang still made a profit by taking 100 taels after stuffing some money.
Chu Qiguang frowned and wanted to refute, but seeing the Taoist Fayuan agreeing with a smile, he knew that this remark offended the Taoist temple and the Yamen at the same time.
What's more, how the Hao family's reward is divided, and how the credit for catching the monster is determined, after all, the county government and the Taoist temple have the final say.
After thinking about it, Chu Qiguang could only temporarily agree.
With a grateful smile on his face, he said to Gu Butou and Taoist Fayuan: "Thank you for your care." But he secretly cursed: "This yamen and Taoist temple... are too dark." '
……
Next, Gu Wei said that he would summon the guards to hunt down the fox demon, and asked Chu Qiguang and Taoist Fayuan to wait in this side hall.
But after waiting for more than half an hour, the yamen servants did not show up, so Chu Qiguang had to go to the yamen soap room to inquire.
Gu Wei, the head catcher, was displeased when he heard the words: "Young Master Chu, there are more than [-] people inside and outside Qingyang County, and the manpower in the yamen is already stretched. That's right."
Chu Qiguang asked: "How long will it take?" He has to hurry up to practice and study every day, but he has no time to spend in this county office.
Gu Butou said impatiently: "Young Master Chu, the county lord asked you to assist us in handling the case, not to command you blindly. The yamen is full of experienced veterans, so you can just wait with peace of mind."
Seeing that Chu Qiguang wanted to say something else, Gu Butou turned his face directly, and slapped his palm on the tea table in front of him with a bang. The strength that reached the limit of the human body burst out suddenly, leaving a deep palm print on the table.
Chu Qiguang's eyes suddenly tightened. The head catcher in Qingyang County in front of him probably has the strength of the second level of martial arts. Although he can't pass the martial arts test, it is more than enough to be a head catcher.
Gu Butou said impatiently: "This is Qingyang County's county government, and it's not up to outsiders to point fingers. If it affects the government's handling of the case, can you afford it?"
After Chu Qiguang left, the head catcher Gu Wei sneered slightly, then turned to look at Kuaishou and said, "Did you ask clearly?"
Kuaishou on the side said: "Master Gu, don't worry, this Chu Qiguang is just an ordinary farmer in the Wang family village, with no background at all. I don't know how to please the young master of the Wang family, so I brought him to the county seat Go to school."
Gu Wei said: "It's really fantastic for a farmer to want to distribute the money."
After finding out that Chu Qiguang had no background, Gu Wei planned to directly tear up the previous agreement on the distribution of money, especially since Chu Qiguang was no longer needed in the subsequent search and arrest operation, so why bother to divide the other party [-] Two silver coins are so much.
So his next move was to kick Chu Qiguang aside, and take all the credit for catching the fox demon on himself.
In this way, he and his servants took 400 taels of silver as a reward, and then distributed the remaining silver to Taoist temples with 400 taels and county magistrates with 200 taels.
Gu Wei laughed: "It's just a seriously injured fox demon, we can catch it ourselves."
"Is everyone gathered?"
"Gather the hunters in the county, find the best hounds, hunt for foxes in the city, don't let any one go."
……
Coming out of the Ya soap room, Chu Qiguang squinted his eyes, and after a little thought in his heart, he noticed something strange, and asked Qiao Zhi to inquire about it.
When Qiao Zhi came back, he scolded: "Who is it! You don't do anything after collecting the money! I'm so mad! I'm so mad! Ten taels of silver is just feeding the dog!"
The more Qiao Zhi thought about it, the more angry he became: "The dog catcher has already sent people to hunt down the fox demon, and he doesn't intend to give you any rewards at all."
A cold light flashed in Chu Qiguang's eyes, and he smiled slightly and said, "It just so happens that I don't want to give it to him either."
"However, if you take the credit, with the character of this headhunter, I'm afraid you won't let it go. If you want to do it, you must do it..."
Chu Qiguang knows too well how many heroes in history have been mistreated by such villains.Chu Qiguang has always chased and killed this kind of villain, and has never meant to let him go after being underestimated.
'I, a murderer, can't bear to see this kind of court scum, and today is the day to do justice for the sky. '
