Seeing the Monster Catcher's sign, the Madam's expression changed instantly.

In Dayu Country, there are three extremely special organizations.

That is, the Division of Tianjian, the Division of Detecting Evil, and the Division of Catching Demons.

These three organizations are directly under the control of the emperor. When dealing with affairs, local officials can only try their best to cooperate.

If you don't cooperate, I can make you drink a pot of wine on any charge.

For ordinary people, the ones they have more contact with are usually the Anti-Crime Department and the Monster Catching Department.

One specializes in catching extremely vicious criminals, and the other specializes in dealing with monsters and evil spirits.

In front of the two, not to mention ordinary people, even officials with a certain status will appear a little uncomfortable.

After Lin Qianxing pulled the tiger's skin and showed off his name as the Monster Catcher, the Madam became much more cooperative in the following matters.

She took Lin Qianxing directly to a private room, and then accepted Lin Qianxing's cross-examination.

"Let me ask you, has an oiran named Xiao ever died in your Chunlou?" Lin Qianxing asked.

Hearing this, the old bustard looked slightly uncomfortable, and then said: "Are you talking about Xiao Han, sir? She has been dead for eight years. That girl was at the peak of her powers, but she insisted on running away with a scholar. Who knew he would be redeemed after his death? , but the scholar thought that she was a pu willow and was not worthy of him. Xiao Han was ashamed and angry, so he hanged himself. It is a pity to say that I have tried to persuade her many times, but she couldn't persuade her."

The story was told well, but whether it was true or not was another question. Lin Qianxing concentrated his energy, and an invisible pressure enveloped the old bustard, forcing him to ask: "Is what you said true? But how did I hear that you were the one responsible for his death?" Got her?"

The old bustard was oppressed by Lin Qianxing's mental coercion, his expression was ugly, and he quickly replied: "Sir, everything I said is true, I don't dare to hide anything!!"

"This matter is related to a great demon. If what you say is half-false, the Demon Catching Department will definitely make your life worse than death!!" Lin Qianxing explained the powerful relationship.

"Sir, how dare I, a mere commoner, deceive me, but there was something fishy about that scholar back then." The old madam said anxiously: "Xiao Han originally brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry as a dowry before he died, but when he died, These things are gone. When I collected her body, I also saw some scars on her body. Maybe her death was related to the scholar."

"Then why didn't you report your suspicions to the government to investigate the case?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"I also had resentment in my heart at that time. I complained that Xiao Han wasted my many years of training by redeeming himself. In addition, such a scandal might affect my business in Baihua Pavilion, so I did not report to the official position," the old bustard replied.

At this time, her expression was already very ugly. Although the mental pressure did not cause any real harm, Lin Qianxing's spirit was so powerful that she had difficulty breathing just by feeling the oppression.

When Lin Qianxing saw this, he also put away his mental pressure and said: "The Demon Catcher Division has the ability to investigate the truth and falsehood of what you said. If you lied, hum!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The madam breathed heavily and replied at the same time.

"Where is the scholar now?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"He dyed a very special kind of willow five years ago and died." The madam hesitated and said.

Lin Qianxing glanced at the old bustard suspiciously, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Isn't that the case of death without evidence?"

"My lord, you are very aware. I really don't dare to lie to you!!" the madam said.

"I have my own sense of discretion in this matter." Lin Qianxing stood up and said, "I hope everything you said is true!"

As soon as the voice fell, Lin Qianxing turned into purple light and left from the window.

Seeing this scene, the madam was also shocked. She didn't expect that Lin Qianxing, who was asking questions next to her, would be such a person.

But her face didn't show anything strange, and she even patted her chest and murmured: "Fortunately, I told the truth, otherwise I might have caused trouble!"

Lin Qianxing detected this scene with his mind, and his expression became thoughtful.

It seems that the madam is not lying. In other words, has this really turned into an unjust case?

Even if the scholar really killed Xiao Han, he is dead now, what is there to say?

Shaking his head, Lin Qianxing turned around and headed to the county government office.

After showing the sign of the Demon Catcher Division, Lin Qianxing easily contacted the officials here, and even the county magistrate came to meet him in person.

When Lin Qianxing expressed that he wanted to investigate the matter of the scholar, he immediately asked someone to look through the files and household registers to find the corresponding records for him to see. He also found his former friends and friends to tell Lin Qianxing some of his life. detail.

At this time, Lin Qianxing had to sigh that this official status was really useful.

Lin Qianxing soon learned about the scholar's three generations of ancestors and even his relatives from all walks of life.

The scholar's name is Cheng Jue, and his ancestors were officials in the imperial court. However, his grandfather's generation got involved in a big event, and he was eventually dismissed because of the wrong position. By Cheng Jue's generation, his ancestors' savings had been used up. It was almost the same, and he himself didn't learn any skills. He was also lustful and greedy, and hung around various entertainment venues all day long.

As a result, he quickly used up all his ancestors' savings.

At this time, by chance, he relied on a poem praising the oiran to spend a night with Xiao Han, the oiran at that time.

He realized that this was an opportunity, so he disguised himself as a down-and-out scholar with great ambitions and won Xiao Han's favor.

Then he went to Baihua Pavilion one after another, and quickly increased Xiao Han's favorability to a certain level, and promptly stated that he had no money to use and could not come again in the future.

Xiao Han also had some feelings for Cheng Jue at this time, so he took out his savings and gave it to Cheng Jue so that he could meet him.

What happened next was very cliche.

Cheng Jue gradually intensified his efforts, using the excuse of studying and taking scientific examinations to squeeze Xiao Han step by step and obtain more benefits from him.

Even in the end, he coaxed Xiao Han into redeeming his life and marrying him with his family assets saved over the years.

Who knew that this was a scam. Xiao Han’s family property was taken away by Cheng Jue, but he was despised by Cheng Jue. Cheng Jue even beat Xiao Han when he left, but it was not fatal. She The scars left on the body before hanging should have been left at this time.

Cheng Jue didn't seem to be ashamed of this matter, but rather felt proud of it. After Xiao Han's death, he showed it off to his friends for a long time, saying that these brothel girls had no brains, were stupid, and would believe it if they were cheated.

These are all stories told by Cheng Jue's friends, and with the support of others, their credibility is extremely high.

"Speaking of which, Cheng Jue's affair with Hualiu was caused by a brothel girl named Tao Hua who couldn't stand his behavior and deliberately came to infect him." One of Cheng Jue's bad friends said.

"Do you know about this?" Lin Qianxing asked.

The man hesitated for a moment, then said: "We all knew it, but we all wanted to see his joke at the time, so we didn't stop him or tell him."

"You guys are really "righteous", but he deserves it." The clerk who was checking the files next to him couldn't help but said.

"Won't Taohua be retaliated by Cheng Jue afterwards? Where is she now?" Lin Qianxing asked with some emotion.

"It's not that Cheng Jue didn't want to take revenge, but he didn't have the chance. Tao Hua was harmed by Hualiu disease and had long been determined to die. After passing Hualiu to Cheng Jue, he took poison and committed suicide." Another of Cheng Jue's injured friends said: "It's a pity to say that if such a strange woman doesn't die, even if she gets caught in the flowers and willows and dies, I would still be willing to spend a spring night with her."

Lin Qianxing heard the sound and looked at him strangely.

He really couldn't understand the thinking of these wanderers.

However, the matter has almost been investigated clearly at this point.

Xiao Han's so-called injustice was nothing but the fault of others, which caused him to encounter many misfortunes. In the end, he could not face the miserable life and chose to hang himself.

The instigator, Cheng Jue, was also tortured and died after being retaliated by a brothel woman and fell ill because of his excessive rampage.

Lin Qianxing sighed, how could there be so many unjust, false and wrong cases in this world.

Even if there is, the probability of him encountering it is obviously not particularly high.

After taking out some gold and silver to thank the officials who helped, Lin Qianxing left the county government and went to the shabby house where Meier lived.

After calling for a while, Mei'er quickly ran out of the house, and asked with expectation on her face: "Sir, is there anything to gain?"

"I have investigated some things. Please listen to it and see if there is anything inconsistent with your memory." Lin Qianxing said, "This is what happened."

After a while, Lin Qianxing told Meier everything he had investigated.

After listening, Meier fell into silence. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "That Cheng Jue died so simply."

"Miss Mei'er, have you not investigated these matters since you became a spirit?" Lin Qianxing asked with some confusion.

"Sir, what you don't know is that I was awakened by accidentally eating a piece of warm jade three years ago. It takes a short time to become a spirit. Although I have investigated Sister Xiao's past, due to my weak strength and the fact that it has been many years, I can't become a spirit." I didn't get any useful information." Meier explained.

"What are you going to do now?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"Mei'er promised sir that as long as he investigates the truth for Sister Xiao, Mei'er is willing to serve as his maid," Mei'er said softly.

Lin Qianxing smiled with satisfaction. He knelt down next to Mei'er and stretched out his hand towards Mei'er's head.

Mei'er hesitated for a moment, but in the end she didn't dodge.

When Lin Qianxing's broad palm landed on Mei'er's head and caressed her twice gently, a comfortable expression appeared on her face.

"Hurr, huh, huh~!"

Lin Qianxing showed a satisfied look on his face and said, "I usually live outside the city. I'm afraid the environment there is not suitable for you. What do you think if I buy this residence and renovate it?"

"Hulu~Mei'er is all arranged by the husband~Hulu~!" Mei'er said.

When Lin Qianxing saw the cat in this state, he couldn't hold it back. He hugged it directly and took a deep breath.

"Sir~!" Meier said in surprise and shyness.

"Meier, do you have a last name?" Lin Qianxing held the cat and asked, pretending to be calm, changing the subject.

"Meier has only remembered that her name is Mei'er since her spiritual awakening, and she has no surname." Mei'er replied.

She didn't know why, but she always felt that her new master looked at her with a little too much affection, but they had only met for less than a day!

"Why don't you just have the same surname as your old master and have a famous name that will be easy to call him in the future." Lin Qianxing suggested.

"Xiao Mei'er?" Mei'er murmured.
