Chapter 184 Punishment
Bailipu, as the name suggests, is a gathering place of villages and towns a hundred miles away from Yongzhou.
This hundred miles is not a hundred miles in the exact sense.
If calculated according to the actual distance, it is about seventy miles, which is about thirty kilometers now.
Shen Qing galloped and it took two or three quarters of an hour to reach the vicinity.
At this time, the thick and almost impossible to dispel bloody smell in the air came to his nose.
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows and urged his men to speed up.
"Huh!"
Shen Qing stopped his horse and looked forward carefully. A corpse was thrown on the ground casually by the roadside.
The back of the corpse was facing up and the face was facing down. The middle of the back seemed to be scratched by sharp claws, leaving the outline of an eagle without wings.
The skin and flesh on both sides had been cut open, the ribs inside were broken, and the two ribs were turned outward with bones and flesh, turning into a pair of bone wings that were about to fly.
The blood-red bone wings and the wingless eagle carved before made it look like a bloody "blood eagle".
When Liu Sangui and others saw the corpse, their faces changed and they recognized it almost at a glance: "This is troublesome, it's really it!"
Shen Qing turned his head and asked: "Who is it you are talking about?"
"A powerful eagle monster."
"Eagle monster?"
Jiang Dacong, Guan Yunjian, Shu Jiushu and others looked uglier when they saw the corpse.
"Master Cha Si, you don't know that this eagle monster has committed crimes here more than once or twice. After each crime, it will leave such a corpse. After eating people, it spreads its wings and flies into the mountains. It is extremely difficult to deal with. Our Weiwu Division can't do anything about it."
Shen Qing listened quietly and pondered in his heart.
Just as Guan Yunjian and others said, if it is a flying monster, they really have no way to deal with it.
"Let's go take a look first."
Shen Qing's face was solemn, his legs clamped around the horse's belly, and he drove the horse and led the way into Bailipu.
There were about dozens of households living in Bailipu, which was larger than the average village. There were many wine shops and stalls for traveling merchants to rest.
But now many roofs were blown off, the walls collapsed, and the beams and pillars were broken, and it had become a ruin.
"Follow closely, everyone be careful." Liu Sangui behind him reminded.
Jiang Dacong, Guan Yunjian, Shu Jiushu and others subconsciously tightened their weapons and followed closely.
Shen Qing walked into Bailipu and saw debris all over the ground.
The monster eats people.
Shen Qing looked around and could not find a complete body around, even the internal organs were eaten clean.
On the ground were only large patches of bright red blood and struggling movements.
If you look closely, you will find many claw marks and pecking marks left on the remains, and even a baby with its skull opened and empty inside.
Shen Qing couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the village that day, which was exactly the same.
Such a scene changed a lot as Shen Qing and others went deeper.
More and more body fragments appeared.
If you look carefully, you will find that the eyeballs and ears are scattered on the ground. If you piece them together patiently, you can even piece together a complete person, but many key parts have not been eaten.
This shows that the eagle demon was just hunting people at the beginning, but it was full later, and killing these people was purely for torture.
Shen Qing couldn't help but feel a deep hatred for the eagle demon.
Guan Yunjian and others looked at the corpses on the ground. They were already accustomed to such scenes, and there was no big ripple in their hearts.
Only one thing made them look a little sad.
"If it is an eagle demon, the general has ordered us to arrest it within three days. If the Weiwu Division can't solve this problem, how can we kill this eagle demon? This monthly salary must be reduced by half again."
"How about the old rules?"
"What old rules?" Shen Qing turned his head and asked.
Shu Jiushu said naturally: "If we don't say that what happened here is an eagle demon, who knows that it was done by the eagle demon? It just so happens that I know a few ruffians. Kill them and say that they did it. Isn't this matter over?"
After listening, Shen Qing said with no sadness or joy on his face: "Did you do this before?"
"It's not often done, but we have experience in this matter. When the time comes, we will burn this place with a fire, and there will be no evidence. No one will know. If the eagle demon commits again in the future, as long as it is not in our defense area, there will be others to worry about it."
After saying this, Shu Jiushu still looked proud, as if he was very proud of this matter.
"You seem to be very proud of killing innocent people and taking credit for it?" Shen Qing glanced at Shu Jiushu and asked back.
"Huh?" Shu Jiushu was shocked when he saw Shen Qing's eyes, and he couldn't help but frown.
The next moment, before he could react, a volley of energy suddenly hit his lower abdomen.
The majestic and powerful force suddenly exploded on his lower abdomen, making Shu Jiushu fall heavily to the ground like a tattered sack lifted up by a strong wind, and he became embarrassed in the dust.
Guan Yunjian, Jiang Dacong and others around saw this scene and screamed.
Shen Qing slowly withdrew his hand and warned coldly: "If you do this again in front of me in the future, it will not be as simple as getting injured."
Shu Jiushu's eyes were burning with fire and he became furious.
I gave you a good suggestion, but you actually took more action?
Why are you so serious?
When Shu Jiushu was about to explode, Guan Yunjian hurried forward to help him up and pinched his arm hard.
He reacted and looked at Guan Yunjian, and instantly understood and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Shu Jiushu stood up and clasped his hands together, and said in unison with the others: "Yes, Master Chasi."
Liu Sangui stepped forward and asked: "Master, what should we do next?"
Shen Qing jumped on the horse and asked: "Where does the eagle demon usually move around?"
"I know a place." Liu Sangui hurriedly said: "I will lead the way for you now."
"Okay."
Liu Sangui hurriedly mounted the horse and rode forward.
Shen Qing followed closely.
Looking at Shen Qing's back gradually going away, Jiang Dacong on the side couldn't help but blurt out: "He... Isn't he looking for that eagle demon?"
"Just him?"
Shu Jiushu rubbed his belly, his eyes full of disdain for Shen Qing: "Damn it, why are you pretending. He is a good man, and we are all evil officials. Bah, when he sees how difficult the eagle demon is, he will understand what true despair is! By then, I wonder if he can still be as arrogant as he is."
This eagle demon has been hiding in the mountains. Even if they find it, it will flap its wings and fly away, and they can't catch up with it, let alone arrest it?
In addition, this eagle demon is very vengeful, and he will suffer if it holds a grudge against him.
"Don't say anything, hurry over." Jiang Dacong persuaded.
After she got on the horse, she followed closely.
Shu Jiushu spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and with a look of hatred on his face, he jumped on his horse and said, "I want to see how big a wave you, Officer Shen, can make. Go!"
