This god is really evil

Chapter 116: Li Jianshi Sues Niu Yuanjian
It was freezing cold, with snow and wind howling. Li Yan lay on the thick snow on the roof, watching with bated breath. Even with a physique at the tendon and bone realm, he could still feel the cold slightly.

At this moment, a burning force of medicine suddenly surged from the Dantian Qi Sea and spread around his body.

The drug was extremely powerful and overbearing, and it made him feel burning almost instantly, as if he had just eaten a three-piece suit in a gun shop in the Northeast.

Li Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, realizing that this was the medicinal effect transmitted from Niu Ma!

What good medicine did Niu Niu take? It's quite powerful, why is it so strong?
Then Xiao Chucai was quite nice to him.

As he was thinking about it, he once again felt a surge of burning energy and blood rushing into his body from behind, guiding the medicinal power of the medicine to flow to various parts of his body and speed up the absorption of the medicine.

This is a strong man in the realm of muscles and bones. He is using his own skills to help Niu Ma absorb the medicinal power and strengthen his qi and blood!

Needless to say, it must have been Xiao Chu who did it himself.

You should know that this kind of guidance of Qi and blood will also cause great loss to the strong people in the realm of muscles and bones. It will take at least ten days or half a month to recover. Even if it is not done well, it will have an impact on one's own realm.

Xiao Chucai actually invested a lot of money in Niu Ma, and it seems that he is very optimistic about this talented disciple.

The next moment, in Li Yan's mind, the position of Niu Ma's followers on the lotus throne suddenly flashed, and the information changed instantly:

【Niu Ma】·【Nine levels of Qi and Blood】

Niu Ma broke through again and reached the ninth level of Qi and Blood!

Li Yan couldn't help but feel happy. Niu Niu was not far from the tendon and bone realm. He would probably be able to make a complete breakthrough soon and continue to practice the martial arts of the tendon and bone realm. Seeing that Xiao Chucai was quite powerful, the skills he practiced should not be bad either.

Just waiting for this finishing touch!

When I see Xiao Chucai again, I will give him a push and ask him to give Niu Ma some more medicine to help push him forward...

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the escaped young man had already run to the street. As he shouted, lights were turned on in several houses in the alley, and several night patrol officers were also attracted over.

Li Yan recognized the leading yamen runner. He was one of the yamen runners who had been brought to Weizi Town to do business by Zhao Mengsheng. His name was Gao Quan.

Seeing the frail young man with a terrified face and disheveled clothes, all the neighbors and yamen runners asked what had happened.

This is the county seat of Qinghe County after all, and although there are occasional incidents of evil cults, demons, and murders, there are several major government offices and five major temples here, so the residents still have a relatively strong sense of security.

When they saw the young man shouting for help, the first thing they thought of was to report to the police, not to mention that there were night watchmen on the scene.

"Everyone be quiet and listen to what this young man has to say!" the night watchman shouted.

Everyone immediately fell silent, and the young man, shaking all over from the cold and fear, said in a trembling voice:

"I am originally from Niutizi Township. Along with a few other teenagers of the same age, we were tricked here by Master Qiande, the abbot of Bushan Temple in the county. We were imprisoned in a dungeon, tortured and insulted. I beg the officials to save us..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment and fell into complete silence. The night watchmen only regretted why they came here. Wouldn't it be better to go to the north of the city for a patrol?
Master Qiande, the abbot of Bushan Temple!
What kind of person is that? Is he someone that small people like them can touch? There must be a huge scandal here, and getting involved will be shattered.

Even the neighbors nearby turned pale at this moment, realizing that this was a disaster.

The yamen runner Gao Quan asked in a trembling voice:
"Master Qian... Master Qiande is here too?"

The young man shook his head, his eyes filled with horror, and said something even more horrifying:
"I... Master Qiande beat me so hard that I passed out. When I woke up... Master Qiande and his bearded lover were both burned to ashes in that dungeon..."

Everyone present, especially the yamen runners, felt as if their vision was going dark.

Master Qiande is dead?

How big a case is this?

This is the abbot of the Bushan Temple, one of the five great temples!
And looking at the young man in front of him, he doesn't seem to be lying.

Several night watchmen and yamen runners immediately asked the young man to lead the way and entered the house next door. They found the secret room, the shivering young men below, and the dog cages and torture instruments.

Even the bodies of Qiande and Jiaojiao had been found, but they had all been burned to ashes and could not be touched, otherwise they would fall to the ground.

The neighbors who were present at the scene also followed in at this time. When they saw this scene, they immediately started making a commotion, which spread to all the neighbors and woke up more people to come and watch the fun.

"Brother Quan'er, this...what should we do? Is this something that people like us can know?" A skinny yamen runner nearby said in a trembling voice.

Gao Quan pondered for a moment and said:

"This matter is really too big. The only way for us to survive is to report it to the Chief Astronomical Observatory, Mr. Li Yan. Monkey, you and Baozi will go to the Astronomical Observatory to find Mr. Li immediately. Lao Liu and I will stay here to guard the scene!"

The skinny yamen runner immediately agreed, and together with a short and fat yamen runner, holding a lantern, they ran quickly towards the direction of the Sitianjian yamen.

They had also seen the scene at the Five Gods Festival where Tai Shi Maoshu berated Master Qiande and scolded Xiao Chucai, and they understood that Lord Li had a strong background and that Lord Li also had some conflicts with the Bushan Temple and the Wanling Temple.

The most important thing is that Lord Li Yan, the supervisor of the Imperial Observatory, has a very good reputation in the county government. Everyone knows that he is an upright person, has made great contributions, and is not arrogant.

At this time, only Lord Li can save them.

The neighbors were awakened by the noise at this time, and many people came out of their homes with their clothes on, wanting to come and see the excitement, and more and more people gathered.

On the roof, Li Yan took advantage of the darkness and used the Lingyu Light Body Technique. Like a feather, he quickly took advantage of the wind and snow to reach the front of the two messenger runners. He then bypassed the side courtyard where Chongyun and Ao Le lived and entered the courtyard of the supervisor of the Sitianjian Yamen.

After he entered the room, changed his clothes, and lay down, he even slept for a while before he heard the noisy sounds outside and the rumbling sound of the "alarm drum" being struck at the gate of the Sitianjian Yamen.

"Sir, sir, something terrible has happened!" Wang Wenshu's voice came from outside the door.

Li Yan got up, put on his clothes, opened the door, rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked:

"What's wrong? Wang Wenshu, why are you so anxious in the middle of the night?"

Wang Wenshu immediately said:
"Sir, just now a night watchman knocked on the alarm drum of the yamen, saying that something big has happened. Master Qiande of the Bushan Temple has been killed!"

Li Yan's eyes widened, his face showing shock:

"Ah? Go check it out!"

There was a sound of footsteps. Chongyun and Aole had also gotten up and came to the Supervisor's courtyard. They nodded to Li Yan and said,
"Brother Li!"

The three men immediately took a few constables on duty at the Sitianjian Yamen, left the Yamen, got on the carriage, and let the runner who reported the case lead the way, and drove away quickly.

"Little Brother Li, Qian De had a conflict with us during the day, and died at night. There is something strange about this, be careful!" Ao Le whispered to Li Yan. At this time, with the help of the Confucian sage, his heart of Taoism was no longer covered with dust. He also accepted Li Yan's advice and felt that he had new hope on the road of cultivation. He recovered from his depression.

But he hadn't had time to shave off the big beard on his face.

Li Yan nodded and said solemnly:
"These five major temples, together with the Xuanzhengyuan, have bad intentions. Now that Master Liu is not here, we must be more vigilant... The Sitianjian still has too few people. I plan to recruit evil-suppressing warriors to fill the 300 evil-suppressing warriors."

In the past, Liu Yunhe had an extraordinary status in the Qinghe County Astronomical Observatory and even in the entire Qinghe County. Relying on his own powerful strength and connections in the court, no one dared to provoke him.

He himself was a person who was too lazy to care about mundane affairs, so the evil-suppressing soldiers of the Sitianjian in Qinghe County were not established.

When we go out to investigate cases now, we immediately find that we are seriously short of manpower.

Apart from Li Yan and Ao Le Chongyun, there were only some clerks and other civilian staff in the Imperial Observatory. The constables transferred from the county lieutenant's office were not official staff of the Imperial Observatory after all. They were okay to be used occasionally, but it would not be convenient to do so all the time.

Hearing Li Yan's proposal, Ao Le and Chong Yun both nodded slightly, but there was a hint of difficulty in their eyes.

Both of them are devoted to spiritual practice and are not good at socializing, so they don't know where to start recruiting the evil-suppressing warriors.

Li Yan smiled slightly and comforted the two of them:
"Brother Chongyun, Brother Aole, as long as you two think it's feasible, I'll take care of the rest. Anyway, I don't need to practice, and I have plenty of time. As for manpower, just put the notice out and slowly select from the people who come."

You two brothers don't need to worry about the manpower issue, we will have plenty of people in Yuhua.

As the three were talking, they had already arrived at the alley where the crime had occurred. They saw a number of neighbors gathered outside the courtyard, with expressions of fear and disbelief on their faces.

"The Imperial Astronomical Observatory is investigating a case. All outsiders, please get out of the way!"

The constable shouted and the crowd immediately made way for him and stood far away, not daring to get any closer.

Li Yan and the other two got off the carriage and entered the courtyard. When Gao Quan, the night watchman who was on duty, saw Li Yan appear, he finally let go of his worries, as if he had found his backbone. He immediately clasped his fists to Li Yan and said:

"Gao Quan meets Lord Li! Lord, this is the situation..."

He quickly explained the case to Li Yan and the other two.

When Chongyun and Ao'er heard that Qiande of the Bushan Temple had actually built a cellar here to imprison and abuse the poor young men who were bought, anger appeared on their faces.

Li Yan nodded and said:

"Go down and take a look first."

The three of them went down to the cellar and immediately saw several young men huddled together in their clothes, their eyes filled with fear.

Seeing the three people appear, the teenagers immediately shrank back into the corner.

Leaning against the wall next to them were two naked bodies.

It was Qiande and Jiaojiao.

However, the two bodies had obviously been burned from the inside out, leaving only ashes, maintaining the shape of empty shells that would break at the slightest touch.

There were also two bodies of young monks with their necks broken on the ground.

There are also some clothes such as robes and white socks.

Li Yan couldn't help but frowned and said:
"I didn't expect that Qian De was so righteous in front of others, but turned out to be such a beast worse than pigs and dogs behind others... I just don't know who killed him?"

Ao Le raised his hand and touched the blood on the wall that had not yet completely dried, and said to Li Yan:
"Brother Li, the Yuhua evil power here is extremely abundant. The murderer must be a demon from the Yuhua Society, and his power is profound! This... is at least at the second level!"

Li Yan nodded, looked at the young men, and said to the constable beside him:

"Immediately bring these young men back to the Imperial Observatory and place them in my courtyard. Find a doctor to treat them. No one is allowed to see them without my order!"

The constable clasped his fists and said:

"Yes!"

Go forward and take these young men away.

Li Yan and the other two began to check the structure of the dungeon, and ordered a group of detectives to search the houses in the courtyard and keep records.

After a while, there was a commotion and shouting outside, and then Xiao Chu's angry voice rang out:
"The Xuanzheng Court is investigating a case. No one is allowed to act rashly. Get out of here!"

Then came the voice of County Lieutenant Chang Wei:
"Master Ding, the road in this yard is slippery, please be careful."

Then there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and a group of people walked down from the entrance of the secret passage.

Walking in the front were the Qinghe County Magistrate Ding Youde, as well as the County Deputy Wang Hesheng and the County Lieutenant Chang Wei.

Behind them was Xiao Chucai, the director of the Xuanzhengyuan, a young man with a stern face, as well as Duan Zhengyun, Niu Ma and others.

The Bushan Temple is listed among the five major temples. Qian De, as the abbot of the Bushan Temple, held an extraordinary status. His sudden murder was such a big deal that the chief official of Qinghe County came after hearing the news.

Seeing Li Yan here, Xiao Chu narrowed his eyes and said grimly:
"Lord Li? All matters related to exterminating evil spirits in Qinghe County are handled by our Xuanzhengyuan. No one is allowed to interfere. This is an order personally issued by the county magistrate. What are Lord Li and the Sitianjian doing here!?"

Previously, because the Sitianjian had made great contributions in the Yuhuasui case in Weizi Town, Xiao Chu took advantage of Liu Yunhe's absence and used both soft and hard tactics to let the county magistrate Ding Youde transfer all the affairs of exorcising evil spirits in the county to the jurisdiction of Xuanzhengyuan, just to make a contribution.

Tonight he gave Niu Ma a powerful medicine and consumed his own Qi and blood, allowing Niu Ma to break through again and reach the ninth level of Qi and blood. He was happy, but he didn't expect to receive the news that Qian De was attacked and killed.

He immediately rushed over with his men, but he didn't expect that Li Yan had already arrived at the scene first.

At this time Xiao Chu was extremely confused. The matter of refining the elixir must be handled by Qian De. Now that Qian De suddenly died, he didn't know what to do.

"Greetings, Mr. County Magistrate." Li Yan's face was solemn. He ignored Xiao Chucai and bowed.

"My Lord County Magistrate, I want to report this Xuanzhengyuan Dean Xiao Chucai for failing to eliminate evil spirits and suppressing evil, falsely reporting and exaggerating his achievements, and allowing the Yuhua demon to attack and kill the abbot of the Bushan Temple, Qiande!"

"In addition, Niu Ma, the Hundred Household Member of the Xuanzhengyuan Tiqi, failed to eliminate the evil spirit, lied to his superiors and subordinates, and boasted about his achievements. He should be stripped of his official position and his reward should be taken back!"
