Chapter 427
When Cui Yuankui asked the doctor in Zhongxian, he went to see the body of the deceased first.
The victim's neck was bitten through, and his abdomen and legs were torn apart. It was a tragic scene.
Just looking at the wound, it does look like it was done by some kind of beast monster.
Unlike Zhong Xian, Cui Yuankui was more open-minded and did not stop Yu Xi from touching the corpse. Seeing that she was interested, he even placed her next to the corpse.
Yu Xi turned into a fox again at this time. She circled the corpse and could smell the remaining evil spirit.
The man in front of me was indeed killed by the demon clan.
At this moment, several people beside the dead refugee saw Cui Yuankui and his men coming in, and immediately started crying loudly:
"Those dog demons wanted to steal the fish we had caught with great difficulty. When we refused to give it to them, they attacked us and even killed my friend!"
"They are the demons of Qiuluo City. I have seen them enter the city. Lord City Lord, you must give us justice!"
Zhong Xian happened to hear this when he came in. He was about to calm everyone down when he heard a shrill laugh behind him.
"City Lord Zhong, it seems the demon race is indeed as dangerous and aggressive as all the immortal sects acknowledge."
Xu Wencen had been holding back a lot of anger during the days he was detained, and now was the time for him to feel proud. Not only did he walk in with a swagger, he also pushed Zhong Xian away.
Zhong Xian was just a mortal, but he used great force this time.
Fortunately, Cui Yuankui on the side protected Zhong Xian in time and relieved Xu Wencen's force, otherwise Zhong Xian would definitely be injured.
Xu Wencen approached the crying people as if nothing had happened, and said with a caring attitude:
"Don't worry, I'm a monk from the Sushan Sect, and I will definitely help you get justice."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhong Xian and Cui Yuankui and said:
"Some people always suspect that our sect will do something shameful. Unfortunately, my Sushan Sect is upright and honest. Even if they imprison me, the stain that cannot be hidden cannot be hidden."
Cui Yuankui did not say anything when he heard this. He just lowered his eyes and summoned his sword from the sword realm, holding it in his arms and staring coldly at Xu Wencen.
But his action was more frightening than anything he said. Xu Wencen only felt a chill on his neck.
His face turned pale, and he quickly said, "Do you dare to attack me at this time?"
Of course, we cannot take action against Cui Yuankui at this time, otherwise the fake will become real.
Zhong Xian lowered his eyes and first picked up Yu Xi, who was still sniffing around the corpse. He was very dissatisfied with Cui Yuankui's behavior of bringing Yu Xi to the corpse without permission.
What if someone had tampered with the body and hurt Xiao Xier?
But we can talk about these things after we get back. Now Zhong Xian looked at the dead, closed his eyes, and calmly asked the crying people:
"I remember you. You are from Liuzhou City, right? You should be housed in residential areas outside the city."
The people who were crying paused. They didn't expect that Zhong Xian remembered where they came from after only seeing them once.
They looked at each other secretly, and someone nodded quickly:
"Yes, the city lord has a very good memory."
Zhong Xian continued, "Tell me what the demons that attacked you looked like."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wencen immediately stared at the group and continued, "You must explain it clearly and fully, or someone will deny it later."
When Xu Wencen looked at the refugees who were speaking, they nodded subconsciously.
One of them said:
"The demons are dog demons. When they're in human form, their expressions are terrifying! Their hair is long, and their hair and eyes are dark brown. When they try to steal our fish, they transform into wild beasts. They're huge, as tall as grown men! Their fangs are very long."
Someone else added: "The left fang of one of the dog demons is broken!"
"And when they're in human form, they look very gloomy, don't talk, and don't seem to like interacting with people."
“Right, right!”
Their description was so detailed that the expressions of several guards standing at the door suddenly changed.
"Inu Che?"
There are two dog demon brothers in Qiuluo City, named Quanche and Quanlian. Their families were slaughtered by the immortal sect, and only the two of them escaped. The elder brother Quanche's left fang was cut off by a sword.
The guard realized something was wrong as soon as he said that and quickly shut up. However, the cultivator with Xu Wencen kept on talking and said, "Sure enough, there is this demon in Qiuluo City! Zhong Wenyu, are you still going to cover it up after all this?"
Zhong Xian let out a long breath.
The two dog demon brothers have become gloomy because of something that happened to their family. They live in the remote corner of Qiuluo City and seldom come into contact with people. Therefore, many people don’t know them. Although they look gloomy, they are actually not aggressive at all. They are vegetarians and their favorite food is carrots.
But precisely because they rarely come into contact with others, they are the best choice to take the blame.
"This incident really has nothing to do with my Qiuluo City."
Zhong Xian said calmly.
Upon hearing this, several refugees were surprised and asked, "Lord City Lord, how could you protect the demon tribe that hurt people?"
Without waiting for Zhong Xian to speak, he raised his voice again and said, "I heard that you, sir, care more about the demons than humans, and would rather let the demons live in the city than allow refugees from outside to move in. So it turns out to be true!"
Hearing this, several guards from Qiuluo City subconsciously looked at Zhong Xian.
Although I know that Zhong Xian will definitely not protect anyone, but what if? If Zhong Xian really protects the demon tribe that hurts people, does that mean Qiuluo City is no longer safe?
No, the city lord would not do that.
Some people quickly came to their senses and believed in the bell strings.
Xu Wencen sneered at this time, "Zhong Wenyu, we have irrefutable evidence. First, hand over those two demons who hurt people. As for the other demons in the city, we will kill them one by one. If you still want to protect them, don't be polite to us!"
"Would you mind showing me one?" Cui Yuankui raised his chin.
"Cui Yuankui!" Xu Wencen shuddered at the mere mention of Cui Yuankui's voice. He angrily shouted, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a Songshan Sect cultivator. My Sushan Sect isn't to be trifled with!"
Seeing that Cui Yuankui was about to speak, Zhong Xian raised his hand and pressed Cui Yuankui's shoulder, then sighed and said helplessly:
"I'll say it again, this incident has nothing to do with Qiuluo City."
"Zhong Wenyu you——"
Zhong Xian interrupted Xu Wencen directly:
"When I learned that the immortals had arrived in Qiuluo City, in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I had my friends send all the monsters that looked dangerous and might scare people to live in the back mountains of Qiuluo City. Among them, the two brothers Quan Che and Quan Lian were there.
"Brother Yuan Kui's barrier is still there, so outsiders can't get in. Of course, the people inside can't get out either. So I'm very curious, where did these two demons who attacked people come from?"
