Chapter 41 Mr. Lee Jian Don't answer! Without hesitating for too long, Tao Tie made a decision. He came to do the monster hunting mission to make money, not to build a raft for others. Although it is unclear whether the Demon Slaying Department and the Demon Exorcism Department have any major conflicts with the County Literature, it is obvious that this time the Demon Slaying Department and the Demon Exorcism Department deliberately pushed the task of Li Junsheng over with bad intentions. Tao Tie had every reason to suspect that the Demon Slaying Division and the Monster Extermination Division wanted to use him to involve Instructor Huang Junshi in this matter, and then do something to make Instructor Huang Junshi come into conflict with the County Literature Department once again. It is great to use the opponent's force to your advantage, which is cost-free and beneficial. Right? Thinking of this possibility, Tao Tie immediately closed Li Junsheng's mission details and went to look for other tasks. One cannot stop eating because of choking. You still have to make money when you need to, and you still have to take on tasks when you need to.
Just be careful and don't let others use you as a tool. After searching for a while, Tao Tie quickly found another task that met the selection criteria of "small" and "easy". The location of this mission is also in Dongcheng District, but not in Jiadi Lane, but in Sihai Lane. Posted by a wealthy businessman. However, this wealthy businessman was doing business in other places all year round and often did not return home all year round, leaving his wife living alone at home. Yesterday afternoon, the rich businessman came back from another place. He couldn't wait to have sex with his wife in broad daylight. However, the white dog at home suddenly broke into the bedroom, jumped onto the bed, and bit the rich businessman's trouser legs, preventing him from resting in bed. The rich businessman had some skills that allowed him to do business safely outside. He quickly subdued the white dog and dragged it out of the bedroom. As soon as he left the bedroom, the white dog changed its previous ferocity and started wagging its tail, trying to please the rich businessman. But the white dog still refused to let the rich businessman go back to the bedroom to have sex. This aroused some suspicion among the wealthy businessman, and he issued a task in the Demon Slaying Division and the Demon Exorcism Division early this morning, offering a reward of one hundred taels of silver, hoping to hire a demon catcher to figure out what was going on. "Hey, that's interesting." After reading the mission details, Tao Tie muttered to himself. Seeing the essence through the appearance, the rich businessman had doubts in his heart, but he only doubted the facts. He did not suspect that his wife was unfaithful, nor did he suspect that there was anything wrong with the white dog at home. Even the matter was exposed, and it was said that the rich businessman had no suspicion that his wife had used the white dog to relieve her loneliness and had committed canine incest! It should be noted that such things have happened in the homes of more than one merchant who travels abroad for business all year round. Since he trusted his wife and the white dog, but also became suspicious of the white dog's behavior, it was very reasonable for him to issue commissioned tasks to the Demon Slaying Division and the Demon Extermination Division out of the idea of seeking benefits and avoiding harm. The maximum reward of one hundred taels of silver was enough to tempt Tao Tie, and he decided to take on the task. By the time Tao Tie had completed the operations on the black stone slab of the communication terminal and accepted the task, he had already arrived near the gatehouse of the missionary institute. After two months of polishing, the anger in the magic power had long disappeared.
Nowadays, Tao Tie can completely eat the food of clouds and dew, practice fasting and maintain health, and no longer need to take medicinal food. So he skipped the cafeteria, went straight out of the missionary institute, left Xicheng District, and headed towards Sihai Lane in Dongcheng District where the mission was located. But after leaving the outer courtyard gate, Tao Tie stopped practicing the Earthly Evil Technique "Ride the Wind" and did not ride the wind with Feng Xu. Instead, he switched to the Earthly Evil Technique "Jumping Rocks", supplemented by the "Invisible Movement Technique" and "Landing Without Trace Technique" in "A General Explanation of Taiyi Sect's Basic Magical Techniques", and rushed to the rich businessman's house as quickly as possible while trying not to attract the attention of pedestrians on the street. While increasing his speed, Tao Tie also paid great attention to his manners. I no longer swing my legs like high-speed train wheels like before, which damages my image. Not only did it not damage his image, but it made him feel as if he were a god. It seemed like a gust of wind and floated to Sihai Lane in Dongcheng District. "Number 27, this is it." After entering Sihai Lane, Tao Tie slowed down his pace, followed the specific address given in the task details, went there, and knocked on the door. There was a squeak. The porter opened the door a crack. After seeing the mission uniform on Tao Tie and the mission certificate displayed on the black slate in his hand, the doorman immediately opened the door to welcome the guest and called out respectfully, "Mr. Tao, my master has been waiting for a long time. Please come in, sir." "Ah." Tao Tie responded calmly, walked over the threshold and entered the wealthy businessman's mansion. This doorman was very particular about etiquette. He neither knelt nor called the master "Master". Instead, he called him "Sir". He was younger than the old gray-haired doorman in the house of the county literary student Tan Jinxuan, and behaved more politely and decently. Such details are easily overlooked. Tao Tie, who walked into the rich businessman's house, secretly became interested. Having been doing business for many years, he was able to train a doorman to be so polite, and he was able to handle the situation so calmly when he was suspected of wearing a hat. This wealthy businessman is not simple. We can't be careless about this mission. With this thought in mind, Tao Tie carefully looked at everything he saw. Turn on [Knowing Everything] and try to find out what special things may exist in this mansion. This is a mansion that is much larger and more luxurious than Tan Jinxuan's home. Magnificent, with carved beams and painted buildings. When it was first built and designed, it was probably intended to show off wealth, so it is too luxurious and too low in taste. But for businessmen, this is not a disadvantage, but a good thing. Otherwise, how can we demonstrate our financial strength?
As for some superficial discussions and vulgar comments... I'm already doing business, why should I need to be polite? Let it be superficial, let it be vulgar. Making money is the bottom line. Tao Tie doesn't care about the layout and style of the rich businessman's mansion. He only cared whether there was anything special about the building, furniture and furnishings. Unfortunately, I didn't find anything until I walked into the inner courtyard. Different from the situation encountered during the first monster-catching mission at Tan Jinxuan's house two months ago, the wealthy businessman did not dismiss the servants at home, but gathered everyone in the inner courtyard. The white dog mentioned in the mission details was led by the wealthy businessman himself. The rich businessman's wife sat in an armchair in the middle of the yard, basking in the morning sun, her face calm and not panicked. "Mr. Tao." Seeing Tao Tie being led into the inner courtyard by the gatekeeper, the wealthy businessman immediately handed the dog chain in his hand to a middle-aged man in tight clothes beside him, and walked up to him and said, "My name is Chu Mingtu. There are some evil things happening in my home. I have to trouble you, Mr. Tao." After saying that, the wealthy businessman who called himself Chu Mingtu half turned around, facing Tao Tie sideways, glanced around at the servants who were surrounded by several strong men, and said sternly: "Later, no matter what Mr. Tao asks or does, you must cooperate to the end. If I find out, any guy dares to hesitate or hide, humph..." After the words fell, Chu Mingtu turned to Tao Tie again and smiled kindly: "Mr. Tao, please. From now on, the entire Chu family, including me, will fully cooperate with you." In just a few words, without Tao Tie having to say anything, Chu Mingtu had already pushed the task forward to the point where Tao Tie only needed to get started and not waste his words. "Okay." Tao Tie responded, and immediately started with Chu Mingtu and looked at everyone in the inner courtyard one by one. [Knowing All Things], the physical supernatural powers [Clairvoyance] and [Super Hearing], the earthly magic "Tongyou", and the "Circular Light Technique" in "A General Explanation of the Basic Magical Spells of Taiyi Sect" are activated or performed in sequence. The Circle of Light Technique is a widely spread magical technique. It is circulated in all Taoist schools and sects, has a wide range of uses and outstanding results. It has five branches: investigating matters, exorcising evil spirits, consecrating, communicating with spirits, and punishing evil. The round light technique passed down in "A Comprehensive Explanation of Taiyi Sect's Basic Magical Spells" has many wonderful uses and is very easy to use. Tao Tie accidentally experimented with the combination of [All Things Training], [Clairvoyance], [Super Ear] and [Tongyou] in the past two months. In this state, Tao Tie's spiritual awareness and mana consumption will greatly increase. However, he can also thoroughly investigate all people and objects within a ten-foot radius around him in an instant. If the realm and cultivation level are improved, the area of exploration will naturally increase. Chu Mingtu traveled extensively for business, had seen many landscapes, experienced many things, and met many masters from afar. When he noticed that there seemed to be a flash of light in Tao Tie's eyes, and he immediately felt that all his privacy was exposed, he was not panicked. Even less angry. On the contrary, Chu Mingtu felt that he had done the right thing by overcoming the objections of his brothers, insisting on his own opinion, issuing tasks in the Demon Slaying Division and the Demon Extermination Division, and asking demon catchers to intervene in family affairs! The better the eyesight of this monster hunter, the better he can see through people and the more clearly he can find out what happened yesterday. Only when the truth is revealed can he rest assured about his family and continue to advance his career.
Of course, this is something to talk about later. Now, it all depends on whether this monster hunter can find out and solve this matter! Starting from Chu Mingtu, Tao Tie took less than two breaths to scan all the people in the inner courtyard, immediately ending the state of great consumption of spiritual consciousness and magic power. The circular light technique was terminated, the earthly evil technique "Tongyou" was terminated, and the physical magical powers [Clairvoyance] and [Super Ear] switched back to passive mode. [Knowing Everything] triggered a lot of information fragments, allowing Tao Tie to glimpse several interesting secrets. But these interesting secrets are almost all irrelevant to this mission. The information fragments triggered by only one person are somewhat related to this mission. This person is not someone else. It was the wife of the wealthy businessman Chu Mingtu. Sitting in an armchair, basking in the morning sun, the Chu family mistress looked calm and not panicked. The reason for this mission. [Name: Su Waner Race: human Status: One month pregnant Information fragment 1: Conception is not caused by sex, but birth is caused by induction. Information fragment two: A dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide; when it is big, it can create clouds and fog, and when it is small, it can hide its shape; when it rises, it can soar into the universe, and when it hides, it can lurk in the waves. Information fragment 3: I was just trying to relieve my loneliness, and I didn’t do anything wrong! 】 To be honest, Tao Tie was quite surprised after reading the three pieces of information about the wealthy businessman's wife named Su Wan'er. It's just that he didn't show it on his face. Based on the information we have learned so far, the white dog raised by the Chu family did not "allow" Chu Mingtu and Su Wan'er to perform the rituals of husband and wife because Su Wan'er was pregnant and had not yet passed the dangerous period of the first three months. If they were to perform the ritual of conjugal love, let alone Chu Mingtu and Su Wan'er who were reunited after a short separation, the intensity would probably be too great. Even if they had been in love for months and years with gentle movements, it could easily lead to miscarriage. The white dog is protecting Su Wan'er and the unformed fetus in Su Wan'er's belly! Protect the future little master! The white dog is a very loyal and good dog! The problem is that the information fragments triggered on Chu Mingtu showed that he had been away from home for more than three months and only changed his itinerary and suddenly returned home yesterday afternoon. Who made Su Wan'er pregnant? and also…… Tao Tie turned his gaze to Chu Mingtu again, as if thinking about something. After Chu Mingtu discovered something was wrong, didn’t he realize that Su Wan’er was pregnant? If not, why did we have to go to the Demon Slaying Department and the Monster Exorcism Department to issue the mission early this morning for what happened yesterday afternoon? What was Chu Mingtu doing yesterday afternoon and all night last night? If they could figure it out, why would they go to the Demon Slaying Division and the Demon Extermination Division to issue missions and actively ask demon catchers to intervene? Remember that family disgrace should not be made public!
Even if they are just businessmen and do not care about family tradition and reputation as much as Confucian scholars, they can still avoid shame. "Take a step to speak." After thinking about many things in his mind, Tao Tie spoke directly and walked to the side. There was a strange look in Chu Mingtu's eyes, but he did not slow down and immediately followed. The two did not leave the inner courtyard, but went to the corner and stood next to a wintersweet. Tao Tie raised his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and made a light stroke. Magic power gushed out with this action, and an invisible and intangible air shield enveloped Tao Tie and Chu Mingtu. This is not a spell, but just a magic power application technique mentioned in "Taiyi Sect's Basic Magic Spells". Combined with the eight great mantras of Purifying Mouth, Purifying Heaven and Earth, and Peaceful Land, it can prevent sounds within a certain range where you are from leaking out. Nothing unusual. But Chu Mingtu's eyes widened in shock. Tao Tie ignored Chu Mingtu's reaction and said directly: "You know your wife is pregnant." Although it was a question, Tao Tie's tone was very firm. After hearing this, Chu Mingtu was silent for a while, then nodded without saying anything. After a while, Chu Mingtu said in a hoarse voice: "Wan'er and I have a deep affection for each other. It is impossible for her to betray me and do something that would bring shame to our family. I believe she is innocent. A small part of my business was inherited from my father-in-law, and the majority was developed in partnership with several brothers. The equity is complicated. If Wan'er's pregnancy is not investigated clearly, it will be easy for all my life's work to collapse. I..." "stop." After listening to a while, Tao Tie immediately spoke up to stop Chu Mingtu from talking, not wanting to listen any further. He was only here to catch monsters, not to listen to all these trivial matters and intrigues. Tao Tie didn't care what Chu Mingtu was feeling, what his plan was, whether he was speaking from the bottom of his heart or just pretending to be a sentimental person. He only cared about how to complete this mission. Can I get one hundred taels of silver quickly? So Tao Tie asked in a rather stiff tone: "I can confirm one thing at the moment, your wife has not betrayed you, and there is another reason why she is pregnant. Do you want to continue investigating?" Tao Tie did not express his ideas in a very thorough manner and his wording was rather tactful. But Chu Mingtu understood what Tao Tie meant. How could pregnancy happen without betrayal? What's in the belly? Do you really want to continue investigating? It's really not difficult to be confused. Are you happy to be a father? Chu Mingtu thought for a while and made a firm statement: "check!" (End of this chapter)
