The father plots against the people, and the son oppresses the daughters of the people. It is really a good family with a loving father and a filial son!

I usually travel with Nan Shu in the human world. Although I have seen many dirty souls, no one can compare to this pair of father and son!

This was also the first time he agreed to Nanshu to help him deceive, because one of the women killed by this beast was the daughter of Nanshu's benefactor.

Otherwise, as a priest, how could he

The county magistrate also clearly felt that Huo Yin was angry. He scolded Luo Qian for being a bastard, and then stared at his son kneeling on the ground——

"Today you have slighted the priest. To show your respect for the priest, I will fine you half of your monthly salary and give all of it to the ancestral temple in the county to make incense money!"

Of course Luo Qian didn't care about the so-called halving of monthly money. Anyway, he had room and board at the government office, and his father took care of his daily business, so there was no big expense.

As for those women, they were not bought with money. If they are damaged, they will not cut off the source.

"My son understands, then I will not disturb my father and the priest's discussion of important matters, and I will take my leave first!"

The guy with the evil aura on his body finally disappeared, and Huo Yin felt that his breathing became much easier.

And the county magistrate was still looking at him eagerly, surely wondering when the "governor" who was still wandering outside would arrive.

He couldn't answer this question directly. Nan Shu and Qin Yugu had left. Huo Yin didn't know what he would do, but it was definitely related to the investigation of missing persons.

In this case, he absolutely cannot let these people know where Nan Shu is now.

Just when Huo Yin was thinking this, the familiar voice of the young man sounded at the door of the government office.

"Priest! Did you find anything?"

Nan Shu spoke extra loudly. He changed into clean and decent clothes, and his voice completely returned to the clear and clear appearance of a young man.

As for the disguise of the detective's clothes, he had long ago destroyed them completely, and he always carried the ledger with him. Something as important as that could be very useful at a critical moment.

Before Huo Yin came back to his senses, the young man walked up to him energetically, stretched out his hand to hook Huo Yin's neck, and then winked at Luo Qian, who was still walking outside.

"Ahem!"

Huo Yin coughed twice, remembering the plan he had agreed with Qin Yugu before, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Lord County Magistrate, the reason why this priest came here to visit you before the Governor is because there is something I want to tell you!"

His unusually solemn expression forced the county magistrate to raise his voice. It didn't look like he was joking.

"The priest said it doesn't matter, as long as Luo can help, I'll do it without any hesitation!"

It was also Huo Yin's first time to lie, but Nan Shu was holding his neck next to him. If his performance was not good, he didn't know if his snacks for the next three days would be guaranteed!

Although he has many treasures, he can easily be deceived by outsiders. If Nan Shu hadn't been relaxing on these things, Huo Yin, a "prodigal son" who is ignorant of the world, would have become a pauper long ago because he was unfamiliar with commodity prices.

In short, he must listen to Nan Shu now, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain his life in the future!

"Actually, when I was observing this place on the official road more than ten miles away from the county seat, I vaguely saw a sinister aura lingering over the government office. I was worried that there was something evil here, so I specially divided my troops with the governor. I came here first.

Explore the situation!”

What Huo Yin said was so true that Nan Shu couldn't believe it.

After all, this guy is usually very simple-minded and doesn't bring any change with him when he buys things. Did he talk to that girl and make his head clear?

Magistrate Luo was also a superstitious person, and he still looked a little confused when hesitating. Upon seeing this, Nan Shu bumped Huo Yin's chest with his elbow and whispered a few words in his ear.

"...Yes! Mr. Ling said he was feeling ill, but was he hit by a ghostly thing last night? It damaged his body?"

This was naturally told to him by Nan Shu, but it was naturally more convincing if he, an "uninformed" priest, said it.

We have to thank Qin Yugu for his whim at the time, otherwise there would be no basis for saying there was a problem here.

Magistrate Luo also knew that his son bumped into a girl who was possessed by a female ghost last night. He obviously didn't expect that Huo Yin could see such a secret thing from the person he met for the first time today, and his face immediately turned pale.

"It's true! My son was hit by someone when he was teaching a maid last night. That person seemed to be possessed by a demon! The scream was quite sad!"

He didn't think this matter could be used to make a fuss by these two people, so he went on talking about it.

Huo Yin wanted to continue speaking, but Nan Shu pinched his waist hard and shut his mouth instantly, his face suddenly turned ugly.

As a result, the county magistrate became even more nervous. He thought it was a situation that even the priests could not handle, so he quickly leaned over and begged them for advice.

"Master Priest! Aqian is my only son. My wife passed away early. I hope the priest can use his magical powers to prevent the evil spirit from taking away my son's life!"

Only then did Nan Shu loosen his grip. Taking advantage of the fact that the county magistrate was kneeling down and unable to see their expressions, Huo Yin glared at him fiercely and followed Qin Yugu's instructions and spoke -

"The evil thing came to the young master alone. It is very likely that the feng shui here is not right... The address of the county government can be moved..."

He must be talking nonsense, that's not his purpose anyway, and he doesn't think the county magistrate will agree.

Huo Yin didn't know how much money it cost to repair the courtyard, but it must have cost a lot of people's money and a lot of time. A profit-seeking person like the county magistrate would definitely not be willing to part with it!

"No way! This is the old site of my Luo family's ancestral home. How can I change it at will?"

As expected, the county magistrate immediately denied the proposal and knelt down even harder.

"I am willing to give five hundred taels of silver to the ancestral hall every year for the maintenance and repair costs. I hope the priest can come up with an expedient solution. The cost will be borne by me alone!"

Both of them were disdainful, and Huo Yin finally revealed his purpose.

"It's not impossible! We will use the whole county's efforts to hold a heaven-sacrifice ceremony in the eastern suburbs in three days. We will invite parents and officials from Linxian County to come and watch it. There will be thousands of tables of wine, meat and food, all kinds of colorful earth, and dancing girls.

Singers will perform sacrificial music for the gods, and everyone in the county will wear red!"

Anyway, Huo Yin wanted to make the cost of holding the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony more expensive. Nan Shu said that Qin Yugu had another plan and would definitely get the county magistrate to agree.

Then it is the best choice to set more conditions now and wait for the big head to be cut!

"We still need three hundred and thirty-three boys and girls each. With the help of the pure spiritual energy of the children, we can wash away the evil spirits from your body. This can also ensure that the county magistrate's home will no longer be invaded by evil spirits. From now on, the family business will prosper and will last for generations!"

In a small county like this, in normal times, it would not be impossible to collect some children on the edge of the county to make up this number, but now most of the children have either been abducted or live in villages far away in the mountains. If you want to make up a total of six in three days,

One hundred and sixty-six people, it’s simply impossible!

But this county magistrate really wanted to ward off disasters for his son, and he was willing to spend 500 taels of snowflake silver that far exceeded his annual salary every year. Huo Yin didn't think he would care what the people thought!

As for the wine, meat, food, and five-color soil, they are all making it more difficult for him. It doesn't matter if they are collected by force. When the time comes, he will spit them out intact!

And this meat and wine will naturally become the meal given to them by the people!

Everyone wears red clothes, which raises public anger to the next level. Red clothes are bright and difficult to dye, so the price is high. Ordinary people simply cannot afford to wear bright red clothes.

If the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony makes such demands, the more intense the public's indignation, the greater the possibility of them achieving their goal!

If no one comes forward to testify against the father and son in the end, then even if they can present all the evidence, they can still deny it!

Water can carry and capsize a boat. Since they are squeezing the people like this, let them feel the anger of the lower class people!

"Isn't this... a bit too much..."

The county magistrate raised his head and looked into Huo Yin's serious and innocent eyes, but could not say that the cost was too high.

"Your Excellency, you can refuse. I have no friendship with you, and this is not a disaster for the Luo family. I watched the sky last night, and the disaster star was shining above the county. If your Excellency does not agree, something even more terrible may happen.

occur!"

The cost of holding sacrifices was still unacceptable to the county magistrate. He struggled for a long time and finally became depressed.

"Thank you for your sympathy, sir. I feel that this is God's will. If we tamper with it, we might get retribution. This is a disaster in Aqian's life. If he can survive this time, it will be a blessing. If he can't survive it,

No one else is to blame!”

Huo Yin's brows knitted together, but quickly recovered under Nan Shu's reminder.

He never imagined that this man would rather allow his son to be haunted by ghosts and die than pay these extraneous things in exchange for the peace of his family.

It’s really selfish to the extreme! It’s disgusting!
