Chapter 243: Another Sacrifice to the Five Gods
Shang Hongye walked out of the escort agency and came to the county government office along West Street.

On the gate of the county office, two dim lanterns shivered in the night wind...

The two yamen runners with swords at the door were both dozing with their hands behind their backs...

According to the rules of the Taiyi Sect, county-level government offices cannot be closed at night and there must be someone on duty.

Because the county-level government office is responsible for litigation, criminal cases, and financial matters, if there is an emergency, there must be a place to take charge.

Unlike the prefectural level, the governor's office is in charge of finances and grain, and the provincial governor's office is in charge of criminal cases...

Shang Hongye walked to the door and said, "Officer, I'm here to report a case! Someone has been kidnapped in our escort agency."

The yamen runner who was dozing off raised his eyelids, glanced at Shang Hongye, and said, "Go inside and register."

When Shang Hongye walked over the threshold, he saw a tattered table not far from the door of the lobby. A constable was sleeping on the table, with his sleeves wet with drool from the corners of his mouth.

Shang Hongye went over and called out twice, and the constable finally woke up. He looked at Shang Hongye with sleepy eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Officer, I'm here to report a crime."

The constable narrowed his eyes, reached out and grabbed a book, and asked, "What case? Another dispute during the New Year?"

"No, my case is urgent. Someone from Yuanshun Escort Agency was kidnapped."

"Who was abducted?"

"Xiao Yu."

"Profession?"

"Escort from Yuanshun Escort Agency."

"You? Occupation?" the constable wrote, looked up at Shang Hongye and asked.

"My name is Shang Hongye, and I'm a guard at Yuanshun Escort Agency."

The detective repeated as he wrote, "The reporter is Shang Hongye, a guard from Yuanshun Escort Agency."

"Okay, go back and wait for news." The constable put down his pen, closed the notebook, and prepared to go back to sleep.

"Officer, this is an urgent case..."

"What urgent case?" Before Shang Hongye could finish his words, he was interrupted by the constable, who said, "Our chief has gone to the provincial governor's office in the city to handle the case. We have to wait until he comes back to discuss any urgent case."

"I've registered you, so stop standing here and getting in the way."

The constable was obviously annoyed that Shang Hongye was standing there and disturbing his sleep.

Shang Hongye had no choice but to sigh and walk out of the county government office.

At the end of each year, the chief constables of each county would go to the Censorate in the prefectural city to report the year's criminal gains and losses. Two days ago, Xie Daohan had already taken Yang Zhen to Yuanyang Prefecture.

After Duan Rong left the escort agency, he walked through the alleys and courtyards in the night, and soon he stopped in front of a house.

This house is Luan Jingfu's home, and it is not far from the escort agency.

Duan Rong stood in the shadow of a tree somewhere outside the yard. He suddenly released his spiritual sense, and after confirming that there was no one inside, Duan Rong leaped into the yard.

Along the way, he was thinking about Luan Jingfu and Sun Huang going to Lin County to escort the caravan together.

Why did Luan Jingfu choose Sun Huang? Moreover, he had just set out on a convoy in the afternoon, and Xiao Yu was kidnapped in the evening. In Duan Rong's opinion, this just proved that Luan Jingfu was closely related to Xiao Yu's kidnapping.

Duan Rong released his spiritual sense and carefully explored the courtyard, his figure as elusive as a ghost.

As soon as Duan Rong glanced at the houses in the backyard, his heart suddenly trembled.

Because, at this time, he had already digested the spirit of the flying knife that had pierced Zhu Xiaoqi's shoulder, and he saw a figure from behind. The figure was wearing a loose white shirt and looked very familiar. Duan Rong's eyes flickered in the night, and he remembered the figure he saw when he swallowed Fang Jingbao's jade ring in Weiyangfang.

The two back figures responded instantly.

"It's Wei Yutian!"

Duan Rong turned his body and jumped out of Luan Jingfu's courtyard. He used the Cloud Snake Step at the Minor Success stage with all his strength, leaving only a shadow as he ran wildly along the alley...

Duan Rong knew very well that if he delayed for one more second, Xiao Yu might be in danger...

Wei Yutian held Xiao Yu captive and climbed into his own courtyard in the dark night. As soon as he landed, he tapped the ground with his toes and shot out like an arrow!

After all, he is a strong man in the true Qi realm. Wei Yutian exerted his full strength. Even if he was holding someone hostage, his speed was far faster than Duan Rong!
Wei Yutian rushed across the courtyard and returned to his bedroom.

Wei Yutian placed the unconscious Xiao Yu on the bed, then tore off the black cloth on his face. Gasping for breath, he picked up the teacup on the table and poured the remaining half cup of tea in it into his throat.

Wei Yutian put down the teacup, turned around immediately, and took out a copper bell from the folded white shirt on the bedside. Then he rang the copper bell in his hand, and the crisp bell sounded in the quiet courtyard.

A few breaths after the bell rang, footsteps were heard in the courtyard.

Su Di walked in with a tired look on her face. She was obviously awakened by the ringing of the phone while she was sleeping.

When Su Di walked into the bedroom, he saw Wei Yutian sitting in front of the carved wooden table in the bedroom. Su Di's heart skipped a beat, because Wei Yutian was wearing a black nightgown and his forehead was shining with sweat, obviously he had just returned home from outside.

Wei Yutian glanced at Su Di and said, "Prepare for the ceremony. I will offer sacrifices to the Five Gods again tonight!"

Su Di was shocked.

For two consecutive nights, ceremonies were held to commemorate the Wutong God. This had never happened before, and the offerings in the secret room had been used up. Even if they prepared the ritual items, what would the host use to offer the sacrifice to the god?

Xiao Yu was unconscious on the bed at this time, but the bed was covered with gauze and blocked by a screen, so he could not be seen at all from where Su Di was standing.

Although Su Di had doubts in her heart, she never dared to say too much in front of Wei Yutian. She just squatted down, said yes, and turned to leave.

As soon as Su Di left, Wei Yutian looked at the screen. He knew that Xiao Yu was unconscious on the bed behind the screen.

Wei Yutian's heart was beating a little. He stood up and slowly walked into the screen.

Xiao Yu was wearing a light blue dress. She was lying quietly on the bed, as if she was asleep.

Wei Yutian tossed and turned all night, but had never taken a good look at Xiao Yu. He lifted the gauze curtain, sat down beside the bed, and stared at Xiao Yu's face as if attracted by a magnet.

Xiao Yu's fair face was slightly flushed, and the tip of her nose was shining with a faint light, as if it was carved out of mutton fat. Her red lips were like a delicate flower bud blooming in the snow...

Wei Yutian's lower abdomen was filled with heat. His eyes, which were initially clear and shocked by the beauty, gradually began to twist and become fierce, leaping with burning desire...

Wei Yutian gritted his teeth, waved his hand and walked out of the screen, standing in front of the carved wooden table, breathing heavily. If he had stayed there for a moment longer, he would have pounced...

The beast-like desire was devouring him bit by bit...

He has been trapped by lust all his life.

Duan Rong moved as fast as a ghost and jumped into a small alley. In the alley, he could already see a tall white-walled house from afar.

He knew that was Wei Yutian's mysterious house.

Ever since Duan Rong acquired the ability to project his spiritual consciousness, he would take time out from time to time to go to the teahouse to drink some tea, sit on the second floor of the teahouse, and look out at the street scene of Xiangu County.

At the same time, under the coverage of his spiritual awareness, he could hear clearly all the conversations of the tea drinkers.

Duan Rong relied on this point to understand the public opinion in the entire county.

It was from these trivial information that Duan Rong had already known that the house with high walls in Shihou Lane was a mysterious house of Wei Yutian, the owner of Weiyangfang.

He could almost predict that Wei Yutian would definitely abduct Xiao Yu here!
