"Quick, quick, cover the body." The county magistrate shouted, and the officer hurriedly covered the body with a white cloth.

Xie Beihan calmed down, with anger on his face: "Sir Zhang, there are two murder cases in two days in a row. Do you plan to ignore them?"

Magistrate Zhang was a little frightened, clasped his hands and said, "What Mr. Xie said is serious. How can I ignore these two murder cases?"

Xie Beihan swept around the people and saw that everyone was pale with fear, so he also said: "Then I give you five days to catch the murderer and solve the case!"

He also took the guards of the Hou Mansion out this time, and asked the guards to assist Magistrate Zhang. He must not let the murderer harm the people again.

Despite this, Magistrate Zhang still had a headache.

This murder case is bizarre, the murderer is so brutal, and there are no clues at all. How can the case be solved within five days?

But Xie Beihan was a nobleman from Beijing, so he had no choice but to agree.

However, at this time, a voice sounded from the crowd: "My lord, all your efforts are in vain. This murderer is not an ordinary person."

Magistrate Zhang was startled, turned around and saw a young Taoist priest walking out of the crowd.

He had a delicate face, wore a gray robe, and carried a mahogany sword on his back.

Xie Beihan frowned, because he had seen many Taoist priests with evil intentions in Kyoto. At first glance, he couldn't respect the young Taoist priest at all. Instead, he felt that there was an evil spirit in the young Taoist priest's eyebrows.

Before Magistrate Zhang could ask any questions, he said coldly: "Taoist Priest, who do you think the murderer is?"

"It's a monster. The poor Taoist's name is He Wen. He has been learning Taoism from his master since he was a child. This deceased person is surrounded by evil spirit. The poor Taoist will definitely not be mistaken." He Wen said seriously.

As soon as these words came out, the people's expressions changed one after another, and they started talking among themselves about what to do.

They didn't believe it before when they said there were monsters.

But there had been a monster in Kyoto earlier, and the official lady had her heart ripped out. This matter was spread from one person to another, so they were naturally scared now.

Xie Beihan's face darkened and he was not in a hurry to refute.

Because he had read a book, monsters really eat people's hearts and maintain their human form.

At this moment, he only hates that his talent is not good, and he can't see the evil spirit with his own eyes!

However, he had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly took out his purse. What was inside was not silver, but talismans and seals.

When He Wen saw it, his eyes narrowed.

Xie Beihan finally found the talisman he needed, walked to the body and lifted the white cloth.

He chanted the incantation, and the talisman burned in response. When he got close to the corpse, a faint and strange green light appeared.

His face changed in shock, and he couldn't help shouting: "It's a demon!"

This He Wen may be talking nonsense, but Sixth Sister's talisman and seal script will definitely not go wrong!

Magistrate Zhang also knew something about things in Kyoto. He knew that the Prince of Zhenbei often visited the Anyang Marquis Mansion and had learned some skills from the Ninth Princess. When he heard Xie Beihan's words, his face turned slightly pale and his lips could not help but tremble.

"Prince Xie, is he really... really a demon?"

Xie Beihan knew he couldn't hide it, so he had no choice but to nod.

Magistrate Zhang is speechless at this moment. There is a monster in Shouling County, and it is specifically looking for people's hearts. What should we do?

The people were even more panicked. They either asked Xie Beihan to find a solution, or asked He Wen for help.

He Wen said: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as there is a demon exorcism charm in your home, monsters will not enter your home."

Exorcist charm?

Where are the common people?

Someone asked hurriedly: "Do you have a Taoist priest? I will buy it for any amount of money!"

He Wen's face remained as usual, but there was a slight smile in his eyes, and he said: "Pindao used to draw some spare pictures, but now he can sell them for only five taels of silver each."

One tael of silver?

To a high-ranking official, five taels of silver is nothing at all.

But for the poor people, five taels of silver has been enough for their family for a long time.

Rich people quickly took out their money to buy talismans.

He Wen gave the charms with one hand and collected the money with the other, and was very happy.

Xie Beihan watched coldly from the side. His messenger talisman had been used up and he could not notify Sixth Sister immediately.

Even if you send someone back to Kyoto to deliver the message, it will still take two days to travel.

Monsters are causing trouble in Shouling County, and three people have died. For the sake of the many people, Xie Beihan said, "I wonder how much it will cost to congratulate the Taoist priest for killing the monsters?"

In this situation, we can only ask He Wen to step in.

He Wen had a solemn look on his face and shook his head slightly: "It's not about the money, it's about the fact that this demon is ferocious and comes and goes without a trace, so it's difficult to get rid of it. That's why I sold some demon exorcism charms to give everyone some protection first.

Let’s talk about the monsters’ killing.”

This sounds like a righteous statement, but in fact it is just to sell talismans.

Xie Beihan was angry and said: "Since you said this monster is ferocious, can your talisman be able to stop it? Don't let the people spend money to buy talismans, but in the end they are useless, which is a waste of money."

He Wen was not annoyed and explained: "Prince Xie, don't worry, Pindao is very confident in his talisman. Pindao is in Shouling County. If it's useless, Prince Xie can order someone to catch Pindao."

He made such a promise, and the frightened people hurriedly spent money to buy talismans, fearing that if they could not buy the talismans, the monsters would take out their hearts.

Even Magistrate Zhang spent money to buy a talisman to keep him safe.

The talisman He Wen had drawn before was not enough, so he immediately put out his tools and drew the talisman on the spot.

Xie Beihan was very surprised when he saw that he could draw the talisman very smoothly without any defective talisman.

It goes without saying that I have poor talent, but Master Zhi Mi Xiao has been practicing Taoism for some years, and he can't even draw talismans so smoothly. He can only draw four or five for a cup of tea.

He had only seen this kind of ability in his sixth sister.

Is it possible that He Wen and Sixth Sister have the same skills?

If so, why did He Wen say he couldn't catch the monster?

Xie Beihan narrowed his eyes and immediately ordered his guards to rush back to Kyoto and inform Nan Li of the matter.

There are many people in Shouling County, and no matter how non-stop He Wen paints, there are always people who fail to buy the talisman.

Despite this, He Wen made a lot of money.

The silver was packed into a big bag, and it required a strong man to lift it up. But He Wen took out a talisman and put it on the bag, and the bag became smaller and lighter.

He Wen picked it up easily, but he still looked tired after drawing the talisman for a long time.

He added: "Everyone, I have to draw a few more powerful talismans to catch monsters tonight, so I can't waste my energy and energy. Please forgive me."

He has said so, how can the people stop him?

Everyone was looking forward to praying, hoping that He Wen would catch the monster tonight, so that they would no longer have to worry and be afraid.

Magistrate Zhang immediately stepped forward and invited He Wen to stay at the government office to discuss the plan to eliminate the demon.

He Wen would not refuse. When he arrived at the government office, he gave the last demon-killing talisman to Xie Beihan: "This is for Prince Xie's self-defense."

"Thank you very much, I'm still worried about how to talk to Daoist He." Xie Beihan took it immediately.

When the sixth sister arrived, he asked her to see how much He weighed.
