Wherever there is danger, wherever there is death, there is his tree.
"But is it the duty of our public security chief to arrest this evil monster?" Qiao Mu was a little confused.
He is now a sixth-rank warrior, the same level as the former Lord of Yancheng. He has also practiced advanced martial arts such as the Changsheng Fist and Chunyang Wuji Gong, and his eyesight is not bad.
He could see that most of the constables in this yamen were in the stage of training their strength.
Captain Qian is a ninth-grade warrior. Even a ninth-grade warrior like Captain Qian has already lost his blood and energy. Although he still has internal strength, his actual combat skills are weak.
The only one who was worthy of Qiumu's extra attention was Captain Chen, whose martial arts skills were about the seventh or eighth level... But he only took one more look.
Ordinary constables usually deal with minor matters such as ruffians and hooligans. They have no chance to deal with big-name bandits, let alone evil monsters.
"Of course we, the official detectives, can't handle it, so why is the Immortal from Xuantian Sect coming?" Captain Qian said with a smile, looking at the female monk Mingyue with a hint of yearning on his face.
It is said that immortals can live forever, who wouldn’t yearn for that
I only heard the Xuantian Sect female cultivator named Mingyue smile and say:
"For this operation, I will have to trouble you, the police chiefs."
"You don't need to deal with this impermanence monster. It is quite powerful and may hurt you. If you find any trace of the monster, just notify me."
"The Immortal is truly kind-hearted."
"The Immortal is still concerned about the safety of us mortals." The detectives all breathed a sigh of relief.
They are all mortal beings, and they don't want to deal with the so-called monsters.
The female cultivator Mingyue continued to smile and said:
"This monster feeds on death energy, so it often appears near dying people, such as hospitals and prisons. Please pay more attention."
"But if you really encounter that monster, remember not to kill it."
"Huh? Why is that?" a constable asked.
"Because... God is merciful. This monster has hurt people, and it would be too easy to kill it. So I will bring it back to the sect for further punishment. It will serve our sect with its guilty body and pay for its sins bit by bit over a long period of time." The female cultivator replied.
The detectives were silent for a moment.
"Indeed. God is merciful and kind."
"The Immortal is right."
At this time, a stubborn captain cleared his throat again and stood up.
"According to the laws of Dayan, murder is punishable by death."
"May I ask this Immortal, how come this evildoer killed someone but was able to enter the Immortal Gate and continue to live."
"So, is the life of this hybrid monster that can smell death more precious than the lives of my people?"
The female cultivator Mingyue looked at Qiao Mu who stood out from the crowd, and the warm smile on her face faded unconsciously.
Just as he was about to explode, he heard a burst of dense footsteps outside the yamen.
A group of soldiers holding swords pushed open the door, rushed in, and surrounded the detectives inside.
This shocked the detectives. What was going on? The soldiers surrounded the six gates
"Who is Qiao Pifu?" the leading soldier shouted.
"It's me." Qiao Mu guessed something and smiled calmly.
"Someone reported you for discussing state affairs in a teahouse and slandering the current emperor... Arrest you!"
Arresting wanted criminals was something that was normally done by the constables, but Qiao Mu himself was the chief of the police, so he specially dispatched officers and soldiers over this time.
As soon as these words were spoken, Captain Qian, who had been very friendly before, reacted quickly. He was the first to rush over and quickly arrested Qiao Mu.
... .
ps: By the way, let me talk about last month’s bounty. According to the data as of last night, the total amount owed for monthly tickets and rewards is 18+7=25.
2K per update, 7.5K paid back in the past few days, 17.5K left.
The daily minimum is 4K, and the extra is considered extra updates, so let’s strive for 6-8K per day in the future.
Chapter 68 I'm in a hurry, why not just execute him (4k
Qiumu did not resist and was quickly captured on the spot.
However, the first person to take action was Captain Qian Qian, with whom he had just had a pleasant conversation, which surprised him a little.
This guy's expression changed a little too quickly.
"Captain Qiao, don't blame me." Qian Qian said in a serious tone, leaning closer to Qiao Mu and lowering his voice:
"Discussing state affairs and slandering the world is a sure death sentence..."
"I just had a good chat with you, so I have to draw a line. I have a missing 60-year-old father..."
"Stop, stop. Stop saying that." Qiao Mu was very calm.
He was calmly escorted away by the group of officers and soldiers and was about to be sent to prison.
This sudden storm came and went quickly, which made people feel suspicious.
The main reason was that Qiao Mu was too calm and composed. He didn't look like someone who was going to go to jail or even die. If you didn't know, you would have thought that the soldiers were inviting him to dinner.
"Captain Qiao has only been in office for a few days?"
"What crime has this committed? A police chief making irresponsible remarks about state affairs?"
"What on earth did he say to attract the soldiers to arrest him?"
The uninformed detectives were whispering to each other, while the few detectives who had followed Qiao Mu into the teahouse earlier kept silent.
They did know about it, but what Qiumu had said before was so outrageous... They didn't even dare to repeat it in private.
Qiao Mu had just been in office for a few days, and his speech and mannerisms were rather unruly, so he was not very likable. Therefore, the detectives did not have too many emotional ups and downs. After being surprised, their attention returned to the case.
The female cultivator Mingyue continued to chat about the case with the detectives, but after being contradicted by Qiao Mu just now, the warm smile on her face disappeared and became indifferent.
This even made these detectives feel like blaming Captain Qiao.
"In short, this impermanence monster is not easy to deal with. Its true identity is unknown. It may be a tiger monster. If you encounter it, don't rely on your bravery. Just notify me as soon as possible."
After saying that, the female monk Mingyue stretched out her hand and threw the paper crane. The paper crane grew bigger in the wind. She leaped up and flew away quickly on the paper crane, leaving only her back to everyone.
"It's really a fairy's trick."
"Unlike us warriors, who can only punch and kick..."
The constables were envious.
Their eyesight was not strong enough to see the paper crane flying far away, so they did not notice that the shoulders of the female monk Mingyue on the paper crane were trembling slightly.
"It's comfortable to show off in front of others."
The female monk Mingyue looked very satisfied.
Within the Xuantian Sect, she was actually just a servant disciple who raised spirit beasts.
Although she was a servant disciple of the sect's Saint Wu Qingxin, and was highly appreciated by the Saint, she was ultimately just a servant.
Although she practiced Taoism, her cultivation was not high and she was still a mortal. The only thing she was good at in the sect was her skill in raising spirit beasts.
But if she were to come to this mortal world, she would become an immortal.
Mortals cannot tell who is stronger and who is weaker among these immortal cultivators; they are all supreme immortals and celestial leaders anyway.
"What I did just now was a little inappropriate. I smiled at these mortals at the beginning, but I didn't expect it was not appropriate."
She thought that if she treated them with a smile, and with her status as a Xuantian Sect immortal, these mortals would probably be flattered and work harder...
"But I didn't expect this mortal to be so ignorant and have no sense of propriety. He even dared to contradict me?"
"Forget it... the man has already been captured by the soldiers, so he's doomed anyway."
"The most important thing at the moment is to catch that impermanent monster." Mingyue thought to herself:
"If that monster really feeds on death energy and can smell death energy, then I can be considered to have done a great service to the sect this time."
The air of death cannot be seen or touched, it is illusory, but it does exist. It is a kind of energy that can only be emitted by living beings in this world when they are about to die, and it is fleeting.
Only a few gifted monsters can smell the deathly aura of this creature.
These monsters are not particularly rare.
Many years ago, a demon monk killed and skinned this monster to contain its death energy. He slaughtered hundreds of lives for this purpose and refined evil magic weapons... This practice of draining the pond to catch fish has always been despised by righteous monks.
This kind of thing has become a big deal and has angered the martial saints in the mortal world.
As a result, not only was this demon cultivator beaten to death by the Martial Saint, the Martial Saint also ordered his Wu Ji Society to kill the monsters. From then on, monsters that could detect death energy were almost extinct.
"If we get this monster, maybe we can raise it together with the Saint's Jade-Eyed Flying Tiger. When the tiger cub grows up, it might give birth to a cub that can see the aura of death..."
The female cultivator Mingyue thought further and further away, and flew away on the paper crane.
... ..
Inside the prison in the city.
"Be honest."
"Qiao Pifu, you are at least a public official. Don't make trouble in the cell. Keep some respect for each other."
"He is a newly appointed head constable... a martial artist, in other words, he is in chains."
Qiao Mu did not resist either. He cooperated very well, as if he could not afford to offend anyone. He asked him to raise his right hand and not move his left foot, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.
While he was helping the jailer put the chains on him, he asked with a hint of anticipation, "Brother, do you know when the higher-ups are going to kill me?"
"It shouldn't be the autumn execution, it's only spring now, it's been too long."
"Autumn is too long, we must seize the day."
“I think we can’t waste people’s tax money.”
"Is it ever going to be over? Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?" The jailer was annoyed by the question and roared like a tiger.
"Yeah, it's urgent. Why not do it while it's hot... No, do it now. There's no need to choose a good time."
"I hope there will be a bigger commotion during the execution. I like excitement. Otherwise, how about asking the prefect of Heyang to come and watch?"
The jailers looked at each other, some of them not being able to figure out what this man was doing.
Although he was determined to die, he was too calm and composed. Going to jail was as natural to him as going home.
It's so weird and totally abnormal.
Could it be that... ...you are fearless
He was sure that he would not die, so he jumped like that
"I heard that this person is from another place. He just arrived in Heyang Prefecture and he has been appointed as the head of the police. It seems that he has someone above him?"
"If he has someone above him, then he must be someone... He committed a crime of discussing state affairs and insulting the emperor! Who has such a strong backer? Isn't he afraid of being punished?"
The jailers discussed it, but could not figure out what was going on.
Out of caution, they all spoke in a nice tone, in case this Qiao Pifu was really someone they couldn't afford to offend.
The cell door was closed, the jailer left, and Qiao Mu was tied up with iron chains in this small cell.
There was a small square window on the wall of the prison. It was already night, and faint moonlight poured in through the window, illuminating the small straw mat on the floor. Dust particles floated in the beam of light.
The air was damp, with a faint smell of mold. Qiumu took two tentative steps and pulled the iron chain behind him, making a crisp sound that spread far in the empty prison.
“It’s so quiet.”
Qiao Mu closed his eyes slightly.
On the surface, his identity was just a newly appointed chief constable, so even if he discussed state affairs, only some soldiers were dispatched to arrest him, and no powerful masters came.
Therefore, no one had discovered that he was a sixth-grade warrior. He was just treated as an eighth or ninth-grade warrior who had just started to practice martial arts and was put in chains.
Could the internal energy of a sixth-rank warrior break the chain? Qiao Mu had no intention of trying.
The main reason is that this cell is quiet, which is pretty good, and he doesn't want to leave.
Born immortal, Qiao Mu can be at ease wherever he goes, and his emotions are very stable.
"Ahem" a sound soon broke the brief silence.
