That was the case that shook the entire Nan'an County.

In just one month, eight people have gone missing, and their lives are unknown. The people from the Demon Slaying Division came several times, but they couldn't find anything.

During that time, the people of Lujia Village were panicked, and some people even began to flee to the capital with their families.

Gu Wencheng was also under great pressure from his boss, borrowing alcohol all day long to kill his sorrows, and even thought about quitting for a while.

It was at this moment of urgency that the wizard appeared. He told Gu Wencheng that the missing people in the village were all eaten by ghosts. And the reason why there are ghosts and cannibals is because Lujiacun Road has neglected the mountain god for a long time, and the mountain god is angry. If he is given a day, he will be able to appease the wrath of the mountain god.

"He said you believed it?"

The villain didn't believe it at first, but at that time, things had developed to that extent, and the villain had no choice but to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor for him to try. Gu Wencheng wiped the sweat from his head, "Who would have thought? Since he came, there has never been an incident of inexplicable disappearance of people in our village, and I don't believe it." ”

"And then, what's going on today?" Geng Zhiming was not angry.

"I really didn't expect that the Demon King of the Mixed World would have such a serious day. Duan Wang's tone was slightly teasing.

"The wizard said that he could only keep Lujia Village safe for a while. Gu Wencheng obviously didn't dare to interject, "If you want to keep Lujia Village, you have to sacrifice a young man to the mountain god under that big tree every full moon night......"

"What?!" Duan Wang and Geng Zhiming almost said in unison.

"No...... It's not what you think!" Gu Wencheng said nervously incoherently, "The wizard said that the mountain god will take them to the land of bliss to enjoy their blessings......"

"Do you really fucking believe this?" Duan Wang almost jumped up, "Do you know what's on that tree?!cannibal vine!one of the nine critically dangerous demon beasts!"

"I ...... I don't know!" Gu Wencheng was also frightened, "The wizard said that it was the messenger of the mountain god......"

"Three questions. Geng Zhiming on the side interrupted the angry Duan Wang, "First, why didn't Li Enze die? Second, why did you kill her? Third, the wealth owned by your Lujia Village obviously exceeds the normal range, where did the money come from?"

“...... We don't know why Lee Eun-taek didn't die, she was supposed to be the next sacrifice, but the sorcerer suddenly called us together in the middle of the night and told us that Lee Eun-taek had avoided the sacrifice, which angered the mountain god, and that the mountain god was going to send a disaster to punish us. If you want to eliminate the disaster, there is only one way to kill Li Enze in front of the mountain god......" Gu Wencheng glanced at King Duan in fear, "As for the money in the village...... Maybe the people in our village are more industrious, right?"

"He's lying. Liu Qingyang, who had been silent on the sidelines, suddenly raised his head, "That so-called mountain god will give us gold under the tree after receiving the sacrifice, and this is how we get our money." ”

"No, no, it's not like that!" he was talking nonsense...... "Gu Wencheng was completely panicked.

"Shut up!" Duan Wang's eyes slashed through Gu Wencheng like a knife.

"You continue. Geng Zhiming raised his hand to signal Liu Qingyang.

"At first, we all believed the wizard's words, after all, gold is real. Liu Qingyang's voice was silent, "It wasn't until Enze overheard the wizard's conversation with a stranger that she realized that it was a hoax that cost her life. She wanted to make it public, but no one but me wanted to believe her, and instead told the wizard about her. In order to extinguish the mouth, the sorcerer designated her as the next sacrifice. But that guy didn't expect that at this time, there was a royal history who took a fancy to Enze and wanted to force her as a concubine. In order to get out of the predicament, Eun Ze secretly took a chronic poison and made up a look like he was going to die to fool them. But the old man was afraid of Yushi's revenge, so he forcibly tied Enze to the car. But Young Master Qiaoling intercepted the wedding car and sent Enze to my house, Enze was deeply poisoned at that time and was already in a state of suspended animation, but I have an antidote, and I can still save it. Originally, everything was fine, but I don't know which bastard leaked the news, Lu Dahai knew that Enze was with me, and brought the wizard to my house to rob people. Fortunately, the antidote has not yet worked, and Lu Dahai thought that Enze was dead, so he had no choice but to report the case. I had planned to steal the grace back and escape this place together, but ...... You should already know the rest of the story. ”

"It seems that you are planning to continue this ritual for the sake of gold, right?" Duan Wang's voice was like a sharp blade, hitting Gu Wencheng's fragile psychological defense.

"Your Highness spares your life!" Gu Wencheng collapsed directly on the ground.

"Alright, I guess that's all he can hide. Geng Zhiming said, "For the rest of the things, we still have to ask the mastermind." ”

"You still have to ask!" Ye Fan exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Trap me!"

"I didn't let you go with me. Geng Zhiming glanced at him, "Go back to bed and recuperate!"

Ye Fan was overjoyed, and he didn't bother to refute Geng Zhiming, so he hurriedly went back to the room.

Cell.

The wizard was shackled and lay quietly on the ground. That kind of shackles are all specially made, with spirit runes drawn by high-level spirit masters, specially used to suppress the spirit power of spirit masters, and are actually similar to the runes drawn by Geng Zhiming. (Of course, if the strength of the spirit master exceeds the power contained in the rune, the rune will naturally have no effect.) ）

"Yo, Lord Duan, Young Master Ling, it's really a deep honor to be old. The wizard chuckled, "I can probably guess what you two are doing here, but may I ask you both a question first?"

"You just say it. I'd like to see what you can ask?" Geng Zhiming crossed his arms.

"What I want to ask is...... What are you going to do with this? I mean, what are the two noble lords going to do with the villagers outside? They are criminals who sacrificed their living people to the man-eating vines! And I also want to tell you that this matter was carried out with the strong support of several big people, what are you going to do? Pursue it? Or will it be left behind?" The wizard's face was hidden under the thick bangs, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Of course, it's what you have to do. King Duan sneered, "Ignorance is not a reason for them to kill, according to the imperial regulations, so many people have died, they will have to sit in prison for at least twenty years." As for the characters behind you, of course I will track them down to the end, and I will not let go of any of them. ”

"Oh, King Duan is really righteous!" the wizard laughed even more happily, "but I would like to ask the prince, if they say that they are the only ones who are involved this time, how do you judge? It seems that those who can testify are all in prison cells! And what will happen to their children after they are locked up in prison? What are the innocent little lives! You are so cruel that they have been without parents since childhood?" Also, those people behind me are all powerful people, once they are involved in such a horrific case, how bad will it be? How will the common people view the imperial court in the future?

The wizard's serial cannon really stunned King Duan, he was determined to find out about the case, but he really didn't think about what this guy said.

"What's the big deal?" Geng Zhiming's lazy voice sounded, "Those big people in your mouth, we will check it slowly, and when the time comes, a secret letter will be handed to the emperor, as for the fools in Lujia Village? Let it go, aren't the scapegoats here? Anyway, you are not wronged, you will be charged with a lie, and you will be locked up for a few years, and then find a chance to dispose of you, and everything will be fine." ”

King Duan was silent.

"Hahahahahaha! It is worthy of the young master of the Geng family! This method is seamless!" the wizard looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Enough laughing, can you answer my question?" Geng Zhiming obviously didn't have much patience.

"Since Young Master Ling is so smart, then why did he come to me?" the wizard leaned against the wall.

Geng Zhiming raised his eyebrows, turned around and was about to leave this place.

"By the way, I suggest you go and take a look at Li Enze," the wizard's voice made the hairs stand on end, "something...... I'm afraid I can't help it!"

Geng Zhiming and King Duan's bodies were shocked, and they immediately rushed out.
