Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 384 - 151: All Yin Envoys Obey Daoist Priest Fan’s Orders! Another Encounter with Head Arrestor Liu! (A 10,000-word Mega - , Please Subscribe)_5
Head Arrestor Liu naturally knew that it was this fellow who had followed him to kill the first evil ghost of his life, Fan Wu.
Of course.
At that time, Head Arrestor Liu was nothing more than a trembling spectator hiding at a distance, a Qiulong County arrest officer without a trace of cultivation, completely incapable of participating in that kind of "battle of powers."
Fan Wu still remembered that he had wrapped up a worthless talisman with a bit of incense ash dedicated to the True Martial Great Emperor... and sold it to this Liu for a high price of several dozen silver taels.
Who would have thought!
That he would actually encounter an old acquaintance in a foreign land?
"I remember." Amidst Head Arrestor Liu’s expectant gaze, Fan Wu calmly replied with two words.
"Hehehe..." Head Arrestor Liu scratched his head, showing none of the prestige of a Qiulong County arrest officer. He seemed pleased that Fan Wu, the proud disciple of the old Heavenly Master, could remember him. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Then he noticed that there seemed to be someone else beside Daoist Priest Fan, a person who appeared to be with him.
Head Arrestor Liu was taken aback.
He couldn’t help it.
Yun Jiuqing’s appearance was too striking, making Head Arrestor Liu truly surprised that such a beautiful person could be accompanying Daoist Priest Fan.
"This person..." Before Head Arrestor Liu could ask his question,
Yun Jiuqing introduced herself as if they were old friends: "I am a member of the Yun Clan from the Nanjun Prefecture Government."
"Prefecture Government? Yun Clan?" Head Arrestor Liu was not very familiar with what family the Yun Clan was, but he remembered that the lord of the Prefecture Government seemed to be named Yun.
Could there be some strange connection between the two?
Hiss!
Impossible, it’s unlikely... Maybe this girl just happens to share the surname Yun, maybe her family also just happens to share the surname Yun. After all, it is not a particularly rare surname.
However, regardless of whether there is any connection to the lord of the Prefecture Government, being able to form a family within the Prefecture Government...
That must also be a significant figure!
At least...
More powerful than he, an arrest officer.
"How come you are here?" Fan Wu asked Head Arrestor Liu, who was dressed indistinguishably from a commoner and seemed full of anxious worries. He asked again, "Did that greedy Magistrate dismiss you from your post?"
Greedy... Greedy Magistrate?
Head Arrestor Liu swallowed nervously; it appeared that only an existence like Daoist Priest Fan would dare to bluntly expose the true nature of the Magistrate of Qiulong County, right?
Head Arrestor Liu shook his head repeatedly, "The greedy... tsk! The Magistrate did not dismiss me. Some trouble arose at my father-in-law’s place, and they sent me a letter. Then I requested half a month’s leave from the Magistrate and rushed here without stopping."
"And then you used up that talisman I gave you?" Fan Wu suddenly said.
Head Arrestor Liu was startled and widened his eyes: "Taoist Priest Fan, you are truly prescient!"
He nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken: "At first, I thought that my father-in-law’s household was just facing ordinary trouble. I was planning to resolve it as quickly as possible and return to Qiulong County."
"But as a result..."
Speaking of this, Head Arrestor Liu secretly swallowed: "This wasn’t any ordinary trouble at all! It was a sinister affair!"
"Oh?" Fan Wu became interested, "What kind of sinister affair?"
Head Arrestor Liu spoke hesitantly: "This... it’s not very good to talk about it in a place with so many people coming and going. How about we find a quiet place, Daoist Priest Fan, and let me tell you about it slowly?"
"Alright." Fan Wu would not miss the opportunity to gain Free Attribute Points.
Then the group found an inn.
It was a somewhat secluded inn.
There weren’t too many guests inside.
Seeing Head Arrestor Liu’s anxious and preoccupied state, Fan Wu specifically had the inn’s shop assistant bring up a pot of good wine. Liu drank a few careful cups to slightly sober his mind and clarify his thoughts.
He then proceeded to tell Fan Wu everything that had happened these past days, leaving out no detail.
Because at the time when he was completely at a loss, Fan Wu had suddenly appeared before him.
In Head Arrestor Liu’s eyes, this was like a life-saving straw.
Moved, he nearly teared up.
Naturally, he dared not hide anything.
The matter... essentially concerned the son of Head Arrestor Liu’s father-in-law, namely his wife’s brother, his young brother-in-law. He had made friends with some questionable characters not long ago. These bad influences had taken Liu’s brother-in-law out to dine, seek pleasure, visit brothels, and gamble.
As a result, in less than half a month, the brother-in-law had accumulated a huge gambling debt, owing a gambling den a total, including principal and interest, of five hundred silver taels!
Five hundred taels!
Upon hearing this amount, Liu’s father-in-law had passed out from anger. Yet after coming to, he had no choice but to collect silver to pay off his son’s debt.
But Head Arrestor Liu’s father-in-law’s household was not wealthy, and after several days, they had managed to scrape together a mere one hundred-odd silver taels. With no other options, they had to write to Head Arrestor Liu for help.
At that time, upon seeing the five hundred silver taels of debt in the letter, Head Arrestor Liu too had been furious, blacking out with anger. He had wanted to hang his brother-in-law from the rafters and whip him relentlessly for three days!
The audacity of the young man to not learn anything good but to take up gambling instead!
He, a Qiulong County arrest officer, while able to make a decent income off his position and swagger through brothels in secret from his wife, would never dare to touch gambling.
