Chapter 195 Demon Traces, Private Martial Arts Training

"Have you heard that there are demons in the inner city?"

"I came back there just now, why didn't I know?"

"Ah? What's going on?"

"The whole family was devoured by a cat demon in their sleep. I heard that they cut their bodies and ate them from the inside out... The scene was really... Oh, I won't talk about it anymore, and I can't eat anymore."

…

Shen Qing walked into the courtyard of Weiwusi and found that the formerly lively courtyard had a different look today, and there was an unusual serious atmosphere in the air.

The servants who were usually scattered everywhere doing rough work had to go out at this moment. They gathered in groups and talked muffledly.

Shen Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Secretary Shen, you are here. First, moisten your throat and relieve your fatigue." Liu Sangui's voice came from the courtyard.

With a smile on his face, he threw away the melon seed skins in his hands, poured another bowl of bitter tea and waited for Shen Qing with a smile.

Among the gathered crowd, most of them were officers from the second and third groups. Those officers like Liu Sangui who were not from the second or third groups invariably formed a large circle outside, craning their necks to listen. Positive shape.

Shen Qing walked over with a normal expression and sat down leisurely in front of Liu Sangui. His eyes glanced at the crowd gathered together.

Then, he took a sip of the bitter tea soup in the bowl, raised his chin and asked, "What's going on? What are everyone talking about?"

When Liu Sangui saw this, he said with a serious face: "There's a big explosion in the city! I heard that a cat demon has entered the city and eaten a family of young and old. Everyone is talking about this."

Shen Qing couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard the news.

There are two major county offices in the county, the Weiwu Division and the Bingma Division, which have sufficient power to control demons, traitors, gangs, and other religions.

Even if there are fights between gangs or minor incidents such as theft and pickpocketing, the Bingma Division can quickly rush to the scene and solve it, which is not what a place like Taiping County can compare with.

It is enough to say that the strength of the two divisions outside the city is weak and there are demons running rampant. How come there are also demons in the city? Where did this cat demon come from?

Shen Qing thought secretly and couldn't figure it out.

He asked: "What did Mr. Boss say?"

"It's still the same as before, let the fourth team patrolling the scene of the crime handle it." Liu Sangui said mysteriously: "Shen Chasi, you don't know yet. Because of this incident, many high-ranking officials and nobles who have cats are thinking of ways to kill the cats. Throwing cats away, when I went out today, I could see litters of cats in the streets from time to time. The four groups were troubled by this, and the people in the city were even more panicked."

After Shen Qing was silent for a moment, he reminded: "Then you should be more careful when going out from now on."

After staying in Weiwusi for a while, I found that except for Jiang Dacong who had already arrived, Guan Yunjian and Uncle Shu Jiu were still nowhere to be seen.

"Where are Guan Yunjian and Uncle Shu Jiu?"

Liu Sangui said: "Maybe they have something to do at home, so they came late today?"

Seeing the dissatisfaction on Shen Qing's face, neither Liu Sangui nor Jiang Dancong said a word.

After waiting for a long time, Shen Qing glanced at the sky, finished a bowl of bitter tea, put it on the table, and said, "Let's go out on patrol. We won't wait for them."

Just when Shen Qing was raising his feet, Guan Yunjian and Uncle Shu came out from outside the gate of Weiwu Division, and said with a hurried smile: "Shen Chai Division, the people below just passed the news that traces of the wolf demon were found in our defense area, so It took a little time.”

The people below?

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows.

He glanced at the two of them and said, "Tell me what's going on?"

Uncle Shu Jiu stepped forward and clasped his fists, explaining: "It's like this, early this morning, a woodcutter in Changqiao Town was missing and reported to the county government. The locals said he was a wolf demon. Over there at the Bingma Division I’ve sent people to investigate, but there’s no conclusion yet.”

"Then let's wait for the news from the Bingma Division. Is there anything else?"

"No more."

"If you have nothing to do, don't just stand here stupidly."

Shen Qing did not give the two of them a good look and took a big step forward.

Uncle Shu Jiu and Guan Yunjian looked at each other helplessly.

He felt that Shen Qing was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the two of them and had objections.

But it's really unfair to say that they did receive some news about the wolf demon today, so they were delayed.

Shu Jiushu and Guan Yunjian, who were walking at the end of the crowd, looked at each other and whispered.

"what to do?"

"This might be an opportunity."

"You mean..."

Guan Yunjian nodded and said: "Get ready. His impression of us is already worse. If he delays it any longer, I'm afraid he will have his thoughts on us first. It's better to deal with him while the wolf demon is going on, so as not to have long nights and dreams." ”

Uncle Shu Jiu said: "What you said makes sense, then get ready."

"Um."

The two of them silenced themselves and followed silently.

…

In the following period, the cat demon was not found committing any crimes in the county, but Shen Qing did not dare to take it lightly.

In the evening, after Shen Xiaoshan, Tian Xiaohu and others finished their work in the restaurant, he called the three of them into the main room.

"Crack!"

Just after Xiao Zhi walked in last, Shen Qing silently stepped forward and closed the door.

There were only three of them left in the living room.

Tian Xiaohu asked in confusion: "My boss, what do you want to do with us so late?"

Nowadays, Tian Xiaohu and others no longer dare to call Shen Qing by his nickname in Hongjiazhai, and instead call him "Dongjia" to show respect.

Shen Qing said: "Now the county is not as peaceful as we imagined. It is no longer enough for you to just rely on the knowledge from the Taiping County Martial Arts School."

"So...I plan to teach you new martial arts."

Hearing this, Tian Xiaohu and others were all shocked.

They are not fools. They know that Shen Qing went to the Yanwu Hall not long ago to learn the imperial court's superior martial arts skills. Now that he wants to teach them, he must teach them these.

This is completely different from the two or three moves they learned outside.

Xiao Zhi hangs out in restaurants all year round and has some knowledge.

He knew in his heart that people in the court could not spread the martial arts of the court to outsiders. Otherwise, according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would be sent to a borderland at the least, or his life would be in danger at the worst.

Xiao Zhi said: "This is not good, what if someone finds out..."

Shen Qing said seriously: "So don't tell anyone what happened today."

"Then what if someone accidentally finds out the clues and is discovered?"

Shen Qing said without thinking: "Just say you bought it from Wu Sheng of the Wu family."

Tian Xiaohu and others looked at each other in confusion.

"Didn't you hear clearly?" Shen Qing said: "A real man does things without paying attention to trivial matters. You have so many ideas to do whatever you want. Such a good opportunity is in front of us, should we let him miss it in vain?"

"Yes, we finally got the opportunity, so we should take advantage of it. If I am discovered by the Yamen and targeted, don't worry, my boss, I will never say a word about you." Tian Xiaohu said firmly.

"Me too."

"Me too."

"Just be careful when doing things on weekdays and stay cautious. If you really expose yourself, just say you bought it from Wu Sheng. They will definitely understand." Shen Qing continued: "When we become strong enough in the future, even if the yamen finds out, It doesn’t matter. In the end, it’s the skills that you can master that make you feel at ease.”

Shen Qing knew in his heart that the thirteen lines in this county simply regarded the county government as their own home.

He did not believe that these high-ranking families did not learn the best martial arts from the imperial court.

It's just that the county guard turned a blind eye.

Even Wu Sheng's methods would probably involve a lot of people.

Whether his private martial arts training is big or small depends on how smoothly the person involved handles it.

If your family members learn it, the risk is controllable and the problem is not big.
