Chapter 25 (1/2)
Although staying up late the night before saved the community, Jiang still had to get up early to go to work on a weekday the next day.
It was a fine day on Wednesday. The sun climbed to the top of my head in the early morning. The breeze was warm and the sun made me sleepy. Jiang Jiu, with a bag of yogurt in his mouth, pedals his bicycle slowly to work.
As soon as I got to the door of the office, I was shocked by the festive scene inside.
Xue Meng was wearing a big red T-shirt with a red rope on his wrist. He was full of joy, and he was holding a snack box in his arms to eat in the office.
As soon as Jiang Shu stepped in, he heard Xiao Xiaoyu ask Xue Meng, ”Xue Meng, have you finally taken off the order?”
Xue Meng said coldly, ”it's a bigger wedding than tuodan!”
My life is saved!
He put the remaining half box of snacks on Jiang Jiu's desk, enthusiastically pushed Jiang Jiu to his seat at the door and sat down. Dogleg said, ”these are all for you.”
”What are you doing?” he said
”For the rest of my life, of course I have to celebrate.”
In the office, Xue Meng didn't make it very clear. He just pushed his mobile phone in front of him: ”look at this.”
There is a local news push on the mobile phone interface, and the title is very provocative, which is called ”thief shouts to catch thief! Because of jealousy, the three women became killers.
Look at the news again, it's really about last night.
Xu Meifang died, and two police cars came to the community in succession. These sensitive media did not fall behind. It was only one night before the news came out. Now the case is still in the investigation stage and has not been announced to the public, but the police took Tan Zhi and Xie Guizhen away from the community. Combined with the previous three people who were praised by the media for being courageous and enthusiastic in saving people, now there is a big reversal, and the news naturally aroused heated discussion.
Many local people have heard that Xu Meifang died in a strange way. Tan Zhi and Xie Guizhen are a little crazy. Although the media dare not lead in the direction of feudal superstition, the following comments are more or less guessing in the direction of revenge.
Others don't know the inside story, but Xue Meng does.
He secretly guessed that Xu Meifang's death had something to do with the strange red mushroom, and his heart was suddenly frightened. If it wasn't for Jiang GUI who knew this, his life would be over!
So one morning, he quickly put his mother's red rope from the temple, changed a red dress to ward off evil spirits, and came to the office with a large box of snacks.
”So soon?”
In the information age, network communication is developed. Jiang Jiu looks at the comments under the news and suddenly has a new idea. To refute Chen ruomei's rumor, maybe we can make use of the developed network and media.
However, this matter has to be discussed with Wang Qing. He needs the cooperation of the police, so he put it in his mind for the time being. He turned to Xue Meng and said, ”how do you feel? Is there anything else wrong? ”
Xue Meng shook his head. After vomiting yesterday, he had a good sleep. When he got up, he was full of energy and tasted delicious.
But he was still a little worried. He lowered his voice and asked, ”are those things solved?”
Jiang Jiu nodded: ”it has been solved. The finishing work has been handed over to the police.”
Xue Meng's heart completely fell back to his stomach. He tactfully didn't ask much about last night, but said, ”when are your brother and master Chen free? I have to thank you face to face when I have a chance
Jiang Gu silently reflects who his brother is.
After reaction, I wanted to explain it, but I felt it was too complicated to explain it clearly, so I simply acquiesced to the name.
”I'll call you next time they come.”
Xue Meng went back to his position happily.

Jiang has to go to another community on Thursday to talk about the prevention and treatment of influenza, so he has been preparing for tomorrow's work all day. Fortunately, Xue Meng's ”cold” has been cured, and the remaining three communities preach that he took the initiative to share the past, so Jiang's work is not heavy.
Busy for a long time, Jiang Shu stretched out and got up to pour a cup of hot water. For most of the day, he had to rest his eyes.
When lion dragon saw that he was idle, he trotted over from Uncle Zhou with dried meat in his mouth, jumped to his knee easily, and pushed the dried meat in front of him with his claws to signal him to eat.
Uncle Zhou likes lion dragon very much. Since he first sent his cat nest, all kinds of small toys and snacks have not been broken. It hurts to treat him like a grandson.
Jiang Jiu rubbed his round ears and divided the dried meat into two parts. He ate one by himself and fed the other into his mouth.
Lion dragon squints his eyes and lies on his legs. His hairy tail swings around happily.
Jiang Shu smiles and takes a look at his cell phone.
Before indulging in work, I didn't read the news. Now I find that Ying Qiao has sent several messages to him.
Ying Qiao told him that the red ghost umbrella sister and brother had been handed over to the demon Management Bureau and temporarily detained in the supervision department. At present, the bureau is still debating how to convict and sentence the sister and brother.
According to the two brothers and sisters, their bodies were damaged thousands of years ago, and their consciousness fell into deep sleep. They have been floating around in the form of spores. It was Chen ruomei's blood and resentment when she fell into the well that awakened their consciousness. As soon as they woke up, they were still very weak, so they made a deal with Chen ruomei. It was originally agreed that Chen ruomei would voluntarily become the nutrient of her sister and brother. In exchange, they would help her revenge.
However, Chen ruomei's experience was so tragic that even her sister and brother couldn't see it. In the end, she only absorbed her resentment and didn't move her soul. Even in revenge for her, the two brothers also took the initiative to expand the scope of revenge. Not only retaliated against Xu Meifang, but also those who spread rumors in the community.
Originally, the starting point of the sisters and brothers was not bad, but the bad thing was that after they released a large number of spores to parasitize the human body, they could not control their greed. The process of the red ghost umbrella's regrowth needed a lot of nutrients, and they wanted to absorb ordinary people as nutrients. If it had not been for Jiang's timely stop, I'm afraid that Xu ruomei would not have been the only victim.
So at present, the bureau is exploring the appropriate sentencing for the aggressive revenge and harm to human behavior of sister and brother.
Nowadays, the number of demon families is rare. If it is not for the extremely vicious demon, the evil demon is rarely directly executed.
Ying Qiao told Jiang GUI that the biggest possibility now is to let the two brothers and sisters stay in the custody, and they will be sentenced to labor for punishment and labor reform.
You can save the evil spirits like sister and brother who have not adapted to the human society and have accidentally gone astray.
And they have the ability to stay in the regulatory office.
The spores released by the two red umbrellas can monitor the fall of the regulatory office, which is really economical and convenient.
Jiang Jiu asked where Chen ruomei's soul was and what to do with those ordinary people who were parasitized by spores.
Ying Qiao said that after the Taoist priest next door gave Chen ruomei a pass, he sent her to be reincarnated.
As for the parasitized ordinary people, the two brothers and sisters have recalled the parasitized spores. Most people expect to catch a cold and cough for a few days, and gradually get better.
This is the end of the case, even if the demon authority is responsible for it. The rest of the work needs to be dealt with by the police.
Jiang Jiu replies to Ying Qiao's message and sends a message to Wang Qing, telling him the idea of refuting rumors to Chen ruomei through the Internet and the media.
Later, Wang Qing reported the case to Chen ruomei. Besides refuting the rumor from the official propaganda, Wang Qing also used the case as a warning to the public, guiding the public to be cautious in their words and deeds, and guarding against rumors unintentionally harming others... But these are all afterwords.
***
After another day of publicity, it's Friday. At work in the afternoon, Jiang Jiu received a call from your uncle.
Guishu was originally a big turtle. In the early years when the Dragon King was still there, he was the Prime Minister of the Dragon Palace. Later, when the Dragon King fell, he took over the Dragon Palace. He found his brothers one by one, and uncle GUI took up the job of taking care of the dragon.
Only in recent years, when your uncle is old, the dragons who are still there have left the Dragon Palace one after another, and he has a pension life. However, although he no longer cares about other chores, he must do it himself.
For example, Jiang Shu's new clothes every season are prepared by your uncle himself.
This time Jiaotu wakes up and comes to find Jiang Jiu. It's also from your uncle.
On the phone, your uncle hesitated and tried to be careful: ”Your Highness is not willing to stay at home alone. He wants to come to work for you.”
Since the last dragon palace battle greatly sent Jiang Zhou to the monster Bureau, his real body was exposed, and he didn't make friends for nearly a year. After that, he didn't allow people from the Dragon Palace to go to the unit to find him.
But now Jiaotu refuses to stay at home alone and wants to go to find Jiang Jiu, so your uncle hesitates.
It is said that the fifth highness gets along well with his colleagues in the new unit. If they go there and expose their identity, they are afraid that the fifth highness will hide and sulk again.
But I didn't expect that this time Jiang Jiu was very easy to say: ”it's OK. Please send him here.”
Your uncle immediately happily ”Alas”, left a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, told them to clean up the house, and put all the things they brought together. After that, he took Jiaotu and drove to the street office.
Jiang Shu waited at the gate of the street office ahead of time. When he saw the familiar car coming, he immediately waved.
Your uncle got out of the car, looked at Jiang Shu lovingly for a long time, and said with a smile“ Your Highness has gained a little weight. ”
Jiang Jiu touched his face subconsciously: ”do you have one?”
Your uncle affirmed: ”yes, you look much better than before. Your highness must like it very much.”
Compared with before, today's small Taotie is simply high spirited, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are full of spirit.
Jiang chuckled and looked at the co pilot again: ”where's little nine?”
”It's hard for his royal highness nine to go far. He's still a little afraid and refuses to come out in the aquarium.”
Speaking of this, a trace of helplessness floated in your uncle's eyes. He opened the trunk, which was a big aquarium.
The aquarium contains half of the sea water, and the bottom is covered with soft white sand. Colorful gemstones can be seen in the fine sand. There are also clumps of brightly colored corals swaying gently in the water.
In the deepest part of the coral, there is a conch shell the size of two adult men's fists. The bottom color of conch shell is pearly white, and there are red and yellow polka dot patterns occasionally. Around the polka dot patterns, a ring of bright and gorgeous pearls and gems are inlaid, making the conch shell look very gorgeous, like an exquisite handicraft.
Jiang Shen bent down, bent his fingers on the glass and knocked gently, then said in a soft voice: ”99? Five brothers have come to pick you up. ”
As soon as his voice fell, he saw the water wave in front of the shell shaking slightly. First, a pair of small dragon horns came out, followed by a pair of dark eyes. Jiaotu poked out half of his head and said hello to him in a low voice: ”brother five.”
”Why are you so shy?” he said? There's no one else here. ”
Jiaotu is a little more daring when she hears the words. She leans out half of her body and is suddenly a mini white fat dragon. The little fat dragon rubbed his hand with his head, and then he was a little shy. The whole dragon retracted into the shell, with only a tip of its tail exposed and dyed a light pink.
Jiang Jiu was so cute that he could not help pinching his tail. He said in a warm voice, ”the aquarium is too big to take to the office. Shall I take you in?”
His voice is very soft for fear of scaring his younger brother.
Among the nine brothers, Jiaotu is the most docile and harmless. He is timid and weak in attack. Most of the time he sleeps in his shell. Jiang Jiu still remembers that when his elder brother took him back to the Dragon Palace, Jiaotu was scared to hide. It took half a month for the demon of man long palace to turn him out of a fan.
