Yuntian lurked into their camp, entering cautiously, for fear of blocking the shadow of the moonlight and waking them up. Just by relying on them to fall asleep, how could they use their divine sense to search for Yuntian, who was hiding their breath.

Seeing that there are their backpacks near the tent, it seems that the space in the tent is very small, and several people live in it, I am afraid it will be difficult to put the backpack. Yun Tian smiled maliciously, just wanting to take the food he would eat in the next two days. Took a few bags of instant noodles and three bottles of mineral water, as well as some dry food, and also saw a plastic bag.

This is to take one and get one free, Yuntian is not welcome, it is much more convenient to take these things and put them in the bag. Without further ado, Yuntian was ready to leave, and a tent light came on. Yun Tian quickly zipped up his backpack and quickly evacuated from the nearby hillside.

A little brother got up, took the lamp and went to find a secret place, and actually booed. was so frightened that Yun Tian thought he was discovered, and he walked so lightly with a hidden breath, how could he still be discovered.

The younger brother finished hissing and muttering, and soon returned to the tent to sleep. It's too cold outside, and the cold wind blows to the little brother who is wearing very few clothes, and he must feel the chill. Yun Tian was satisfied and continued to retreat, afraid that it would be too close and easy to be discovered.

Yuntian also stole the power bank, so that he was no longer afraid of the phone running out of battery. Using the power of the power bank, Yuntian has read the article for several hours!

The sword is revealed

There is a small alley in the northwest corner of Yongding City called Civilian, where an executioner named Ah Gui lives. Gui is in his early fifties and alone.

At noon on this day, Ah Gui went out for something, and there was a thief, nicknamed "A Gust of Wind", who was walking in that alley at the moment, and saw that the door of his house was closed and the door was locked.

"A gust of wind" accidentally found a long wooden box, opened it and saw that there was a ghost-headed knife lying horizontally, the blade was cold and shining, and the yin aura was so frightening that he was so frightened that he snapped the lid of the box. At this moment, the courtyard door opened, and it was the owner of the house, Ah Gui, who came back, and "a gust of wind" was afraid that if he escaped at this time, he would collide with him, so in a hurry, he flew on the roof beam and lay motionless on it.

Just now, Ah Gui went to the market and asked a chicken shopkeeper for half a bowl of rooster blood, which he wanted to use to feed the knife. This was a rule in the executioner's profession at that time, that is, to wipe the knife with the blood of a rooster on a red business trip, that is, the day before the beheading of a prisoner, because at that time it was considered a "bad thing" to behead a criminal, and the blood of the rooster was wiped in order to aphrodisiac the knife.

Then talk about Ah Gui feeding the knife: At this time, Ah Gui sat on a small horse at the door of the house, and the bowl with chicken blood and the wooden box with the knife were placed at his feet. Ah Gui patted the wooden box with his hand, muttered a few more words in his mouth, and then he opened the lid of the box - at this moment, strange things came, Ah Gui did not take out the ghost-headed knife from the wooden box, but took out a chubby little doll from inside, this doll was bare-bottomed, and only wore a big red belly pocket. Ah Gui sat on his lap with him, scooped up the blood in the bowl with a small spoon, and fed it to his mouth......

The thief hiding on the beam saw all this very clearly, and he was immediately frightened!

At this time, the doll grabbed the spoon, Ah Gui pumped, the blood splashed out of the spoon, Ah Gui said a few words to the doll, the doll barely took a mouthful; when Ah Gui scooped up the second spoonful, the doll will just hold the blood in the mouth "poof" squirted out, the doll opened its mouth wide, the expression was sad, as if it had suffered a great grievance, but it was difficult to make a sound, anxious to stare straight eyes. Seeing this situation, Ah Gui was also stunned.

In fact, this is an extraordinary ghost head knife, every time the knife is fed, this knife will turn into a little doll's line, in fact, this is the next day to be killed by the child's body, if you feed him chicken blood at this time, he will eat it safely, otherwise, this person will have a hidden secret!

At this time, I suddenly heard a "pounce", and a person fell from the beam, and it was the thief "a gust of wind" who fell!

Just now, "a gust of wind" saw the scene of the ghost head knife turning into a little doll drinking blood, and he fainted with fright. Ah Gui sprayed a few mouthfuls of cold water to wake up "a gust of wind", the thief opened his eyes and saw that he couldn't figure out whether it was a person or a ghost in front of him, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic, Ah Gui ordered "a gust of wind" to get up, stood aside, and said to him: There is a Chenzhou three hundred miles away from here, and the minister of the imperial court, Bao Zheng, is investigating the case of releasing grain there. Bao Zheng can break the sun on the day, the yin on the night, and tomorrow the beheaded person is guilty of grievances, if he can ask Bao Zheng to judge the case, the grievances will be revealed. Because he was on an errand in the yamen, he couldn't get out, so he wanted him to send a letter to Master Bao. "A gust of wind" immediately agreed, so Ah Gui took the pen and paper and repaired the book immediately.

Then, Ah Gui took ten taels of silver and said to "a gust of wind": "You take this silver and buy a fast horse, go to Chenzhou and hand over this letter to Lord Bao, and be sure to rush back before noon tomorrow! If something happens or you leave, you have already seen the strangeness of the knife, and it will not spare you wherever you run!"

"A gust of wind" How dare you disobey......?

Wronged souls under the knife

The next morning, the prisoner was escorted to the execution ground, and the execution platform was crowded with people watching the excitement. The man had his hair in a messy bun, tied up with flowers, knelt on the torture platform, and inserted the "guilty card" behind his back.

This man was originally a scholar and committed homicide, but he was indeed wronged: he had a personal affair with the victim Miss, and he stayed in Miss's embroidery room until midnight that night, but later Miss died in her own room. The family found the report the next day, and later found a folding fan with the scholar's name inscribed, and the government arrested the scholar. The scholar knew that Miss was dead at this time, and in order to protect Miss Miss's reputation, he simply admitted in grief that he had entered the house and committed the murder. The county magistrate saw that he had confessed, and he was familiar with the situation in the young lady's room, so he closed the case and reported it, and the above sentenced him to beheading according to the law, and he was scheduled to be beheaded today.

At that time, three o'clock in the afternoon had arrived, and after three soul-chasing cannons, the county commander of the superintendent took out the token and threw it on the ground, shouting: "The beheading report is coming!" Ah Guimeng heard the order of the superintendent, and his heart was cold: The person who went to Chenzhou to deliver the letter is still in the future, and at this time, the deputy had already picked off the person's "guilty card", Ah Gui reluctantly showed his knife and waved his hand to cut it off...... At this critical moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Keep people under the knife!"

Ah Gui was pleasantly surprised, but at this time the fast knife in his hand was out, and he wanted to withdraw but couldn't withdraw back, the man was holding his neck, and in a hurry, Ah Gui shouted at him: "Bow your head and bow down to the law!" The person lowered his head, but the blade was still cut off on the head, and a black and slimy mass of flesh and blood swirled in the air and flew out of the distance, it is said that this situation will only appear when the beheaded person is angry, and the flying head will often bite a certain spectator, this mass of flying flesh and blood "horn" The ground fell on the table of the supervising officer, and the county magistrate of the supervising beheading was suddenly frightened......

At this moment, Ah Gui saw a ball of flesh and blood flying out, and the prisoner fell to the ground with a "plop", and suddenly the cold sweat on his whole body "brushed" out, and he shouted "has been killed", but his face stayed in place like ashes......

In the blink of an eye, two fast horses have galloped to the county order of the prisoner, one of them jumped off the horse, he is Bao Gong's entourage Ma Han, he held the sword of Shang Fang and shouted: "Lord Bao has an order, the beheading is stopped, and the prisoner is temporarily imprisoned for retrial......!" ”

A Gui sealed the knife

After the execution ground dispersed, Ah Gui and "a gust of wind" went home together, and "a gust of wind" told Ah Gui about the situation of seeing Bao Gong: when he arrived in Chenzhou, Bao Gong's investigation and handling of the grain fraud case had been closed, and he was about to return to Beijing to resume his life, and after seeing Ah Gui's letter, he was also suspicious of the letter, but his life was at stake, and he would rather believe that he had it, so he ordered Ma Han to ride a fast horse and bring the Shang Fang sword given by the Son of Heaven when he left Beijing......

At this time, Ah Gui breathed a sigh of relief and said to the "gust of wind": "As a rule, at noon, someone shouted that the knife should be left behind, and I should stop the execution, but this knife has become a murderous ghost knife, and I will no longer obey the call! ”

Ah Gui looked at the "gust of wind", and said: "This ghost knife is related to a yin case, and it must be judged by Lord Bao himself, and if you want to seal the knife, you also need to use Lord Bao's red pen to cut it off first according to the rules of the criminal law, and I can collect the knife." The two discussed it, and when Master Bao came, they went to see him together.

Bao Gong really arrived at the Yongding County Yamen in the evening, and as soon as he arrived at the Yamen, Bao Gong first interrogated the prisoner. When the scholar saw Bao Gong's personal trial, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he admitted that he really didn't know about the murder of the young lady after he left in the middle of the night that day. After the trial of the scholars, Bao Gonghe and the county magistrate had just arrived in the back hall and sat down, when they suddenly heard someone beating a drum in the lobby, so they ordered the county magistrate to ascend to the hall again to check.

The public hall was already brightly lit, and the three classes of officials had also stood up, and Ah Gui and the two of them were kneeling in the hall. As soon as Bao Gong asked, Ah Gui reported the ins and outs of the matter, and presented the ghost head knife. Bao Gong took the knife in his hand, and let people look at it closely.

Under the light, a human face clearly appeared on the knife, Bao Gong was startled, and looked at it again, the face was a little familiar, and then looked at it, the figure on the knife was the messenger kneeling in the hall "A gust of wind", that is, the thief who hid on the beam when Ah Gui fed the knife that day! Bao Gong knew that there must be a secret inside, so he ordered the official to hand the knife to "a gust of wind" for him to watch, and "a gust of wind" was already so frightened that he trembled: "The little one is guilty of a capital crime......" When he said this, everyone was a little surprised, and Bao Gong ordered him to talk about it in detail.
