Sure enough, it spread... The post station was outside the city without the cover of the city. If the corpse demon attacked, it would be difficult to resist with the staff of the post station. No wonder it closed the door so early... Li Xiuran said in his heart.

Xiang Kun and others' faces suddenly became solemn.

Xiao Wenfu looked at the Yicheng and frowned and said, "I just heard that? In other words, you didn't see it with your own eyes?"

The postmaster smiled dryly and said, "The postmaster is a bit far from those villages. The villain still has business affairs and can't leave easily. I have never seen it before. However, the magistrate sent a lot of people to encircle and suppress corpse monsters a few days ago. I heard that a few yamen runners died, so the matter should not be fake."

"If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's just a rumor. Whether there is a corpse monster needs to be carefully verified. Before it is confirmed, you should not spread rumors randomly to avoid disturbing the hearts of the people."

Xiao Wenfu looked at the postmaster and warned him.

The Yicheng looked panicked and hurriedly said, "What the adults taught me is that the villain will never talk nonsense again in the future."

Your washing angle is a bit far-fetched... Li Xiuran glanced at Xiao Wenfu and secretly complained in his heart.

Xiao Wenfu had a good attitude along the way. He thought that although he was in the princeling party, he was not in the same circle and was an upright and good official. Now it seems that he was thinking too much, and he still wanted to cover up the matter for Xingqing Mansion.

"I have to hurry to go tomorrow and feed the horse to me." Li Xiuran reminded him, and saw Xiao Wenfu turning around and entering the station with satisfaction, and followed him in.

The post station is not big, but Huai County is located in a remote area. There are not many officials who come and go, and today no one is staying in. Their team of Demon-Suppressing Guards, plus Xiao Wenfu's ceremonial guards and guards, had more than 200 people, so they could barely stay there.

Li Xiuran, Xiao Wenfu, Xiang Kun and others sat down in the lobby, and several postmen were diligently pouring a cup of tea for the few.

Zhao Zi'ang said: "Although the official secretary did not see it with his own eyes, this kind of thing will never be groundless and spread to Pingyang Mansion. It seems that there are really corpse monsters in Xingqing Mansion, and the situation may be even more serious than what Lin Fengtai said in his letter."

"This is for sure, it has affected Pingyang Mansion. It can be seen that corpse monsters have spread. I don't know if the magistrate of Huai County has wiped out the corpse monsters that came over. If there are fish that have escaped the net, I'm afraid that Pingyang Mansion will be uneasy." Xiang Kun said solemnly.

"So what if it is cleaned up? Huai County is next to Pingyang Prefecture, with only a mountain in the middle. Before, a corpse monster could turn over, and afterwards, it would be the same.

As long as the disaster in Xingqing Prefecture is uneasy, Pingyang Prefecture will be implicated all the time." Fang Yue frowned.

This is a face-to-face slap... Li Xiuran took a look and just warned Yicheng not to talk nonsense. In the blink of an eye, Zhao Zi'ang and the other two went to gossip in front of him. Xiao Wenfu, who gradually lowered his face, silently said:

"The three adults are right. The disaster is so serious that Xingqing Mansion dares to hide it. After we pass, they will definitely try every means to shirk us and prevent us from verifying it.

Since Huai County has been affected, it is better for us to go to the city tomorrow and ask the Huai County Magistrate to ask about the situation, find out the evidence of the flood of corpses in Xingqing Prefecture, and then go to Xingqing Prefecture. What does Lord Xiao think?"

Xiao Wenfu frowned and said, "Your Majesty's will is to let us investigate Xingqing Prefecture, but we did not allow us to investigate Pingyang Prefecture."

Li Xiuran smiled and said, "The will is dead, and people are alive. Since the situation changes, we should naturally adapt to the situation. I believe that even if Your Majesty knows it, he will definitely not blame us."

Xiao Wenfu said lightly: "If there is really a corpse monster in Xingqing Mansion, it will affect Pingyang Mansion. It can be seen that the disaster is urgent. We should rush to get rid of monsters and provide disaster relief as soon as possible, so there is no need to cause trouble."

Are you worried that Huai County will not be under your control. If the evidence of the crime is found, will you be unable to cover up the Xingqing Mansion?

Then I should check it even more... Li Xiuran thought to himself and nodded, "Mr. Xiao is right. If the corpse monsters in Xingqing Mansion have become rampant, we should indeed rush to get rid of monsters and provide disaster relief as soon as possible.

But it doesn’t take too many people to go to the city to learn about the situation from the magistrate. It won’t take long. It’s better to wait until tomorrow morning, the adults will take people to Xingqing Prefecture first. The official will take a few people to the city to learn about the situation from the magistrate, and then go to meet with the adults. What does Lord Xiao think?"

Xiao Wenfu's face suddenly became slightly darker and he looked at Li Xiuran deeply. Although he was unhappy, he wanted to refuse again when it came to this point. Then his intention to help Xingqing Mansion was too obvious, so he could only nod and agree:

"Since Shidu Li insists on going to the city to investigate, let's arrange it like this."

"Okay, then tomorrow morning, we will divide the troops into two groups and start an investigation." Li Xiuran responded.

While speaking, the station also prepared wine and food and served it to everyone.

After rushing for an afternoon, everyone was already hungry and immediately started to feast on their feet.

We had to rush to go tomorrow, and everyone didn't chat much. After eating and drinking, they went back to their rooms. The inn was limited, and the guards, ceremonial guards and guards could only sleep in the bed.

Only Xiao Wenfu, Li Xiuran, Xiang Kun and others had a single room, and there was a bath water in the room. Li Xiuran took a simple bath, then lay on the bed with a refreshing look, and soon fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it has passed, but Li Xiuran suddenly heard a dull sound that seemed to be sobbing and roaring, and then he woke up instantly. Then he heard the doors of several rooms next door creaking and opened the door at the same time. Li Xiuran also suddenly stood up, grabbed the sword at the head of the bed, turned over and got out of bed, and walked quickly towards the door.

Pushing open the door and looking at Xiang Kun outside the corridor, Zhao Zi'ang and Fang Yue, Li Xiuran said in a deep voice: "The three of them also heard the movement?"

The three of them nodded at the same time.

Zhao Zi'ang frowned and said, "Just just now, I vaguely heard something outside, but it was far away and the sound was light, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect the sound to get louder and closer, and it seemed to be coming to the inn."

It could be that the corpse monster appeared again... Li Xiuran's heart suddenly jumped. Xingqing Mansion next door was making a corpse monster, and Huai County had just been affected again. Now that something strange happened again, he thought of this possibility in his heart.

They looked at each other with Xiang Kun, and they obviously had this guess.

Fang Yue said in a deep voice: "Go out and have a look."

Li Xiuran and the other two nodded. Just as they were about to go downstairs, they heard a knock on the door suddenly coming from the front yard.

The postman on duty in the lobby was instantly awakened, then looked out the door and said with a nervous look: "Who, who?"

No one answered outside the door, but the knocks were still there, and the sound became louder and louder and denser. It seemed that countless people were knocking on the door together. At the same time, a low whimper and a roar suddenly sounded outside the door.

Finally, the door was overwhelmed and smashed open with a bang, slapped on the ground, causing dust to spread.

Outside the door, a group of ragged clothes, covered in blood, dirty, pale, some had raised their eyes, some had few eyes, some had half of their faces, and looked at the terrifying and lifeless figures, and looked at the postmen in the lobby, as if they had seen prey, and a roar came out from their throats, and then rushed into the lobby like crazy.

The postman suddenly had his souls and was stunned for two seconds before he realized it. Then he rolled and crawled to the back hall, screaming as he ran:

"Ah! Corpse, the corpse monster is here, and a corpse monster is here!"
