August 29, Ping'an County.

The rising sun in the early morning is not as hot as the noon, but brings a sense of coolness.

Zheng Yuan was lying on the Taishi chair and feeling the morning breeze.

Recently, the city wall has been repaired, the formation pattern has been carved, and Ping'an County has also resumed operation.

So his guard at the east gate finally became idle.

"This wind is really comfortable...... Zheng Yuan muttered.

"No, we've been working so hard for so long, and we can finally rest for a while. ”

The cronies beside him chuckled.

At this time, a soldier in the pigeon loft brought a roll of paper and handed it over: "My lord, there is news from the county. ”

Zheng Yuan stretched out his hand and took it: "Go down." ”

After the others left, Zheng Yuan opened it to read, and when he saw the content on it, the smile gradually disappeared from his face.

The cronies felt that something was wrong, and asked tentatively, "My lord, is there any bad news from the county town?"

"Alas, I just said that I can rest and rest, and after ten days, I will start working again. ”

Zheng Yuan exhaled lightly: "The above news asks our Ping'an County garrison to assist the county government to start raising food. ”

The cronies were stunned for a while: "Is this going to war?"

"Yes, on September 15, the Evil Suppression Division will take the lead in launching a sweep of the Wuli Sect. ”

Zheng Yuan pondered for a moment: "Bring me the schedule." ”

"Yes. ”

The cronies entered the pavilion and took out a blue booklet and handed it to Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan looked at it twice, and then handed it back: "You go and arrange it, the third and fourth teams will be drawn out, ready to accept the dispatch of the county government at any time."

Their original tasks were taken over by the first and second teams.

Tell them that now is the critical time and that being tired is for sure.

After this period of work, give them a vacation in batches. ”

"Yes!"

The cronies answered and went down to arrange things.

Zheng Yuan put his hands behind his head, raised his head and squinted at the sun in the sky, and muttered: "This time, I'm afraid that the whole southern Xinjiang will be in chaos; ”

I closed my eyes and began to fall asleep.

However, it didn't take long for him to wake him up again by the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Stride, stomp!"

"Your Excellency!"

Zheng Yuan frowned slightly, turned over and sat up, and when he saw the panicked expression on his cronies' faces, he secretly said that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

The cronies came and walked quickly in front of Zheng Yuan, and after taking two breaths: "Big ...... Three teams...... Something happened to the third team!"

Zheng Yuan stood up suddenly: "What!"

Half an hour later.

Three-team camp.

Zheng Yuan looked at the dozen corpses covered with white cloth in front of him with a gloomy face.

After a while, a voice came from behind him.

Zheng Yuan turned around, saw the person who came, and arched his hand: "Dongfang Xiaoqi." ”

The person who came was Dongfang Runhong, and he was followed by five members of his regular selection team from all over the world.

Dongfang Runhong waved his hand with a solemn face, and commanded behind him: "Chen Muzhi, you go up and have a look." ”

An Yuan stayed around to help him deal with official business, and Qian Yue was not good at these things, so he brought Chen Muzhi, a newly promoted official and a flexible brain.

Chen Muzhi responded: "Yes." ”

Take two steps forward and lift a white cloth to examine the body.

The corpse seemed to be dehydrated, its skin wrinkled, and the part of its stomach had been completely torn open, and its internal organs were in full view.

Chen Muzhi put on gloves, took out a small wooden pipe from his arms, opened the lid and poured out white smoke.

In less than two breaths, the smoke turned from white to black.

Cover back with a white cloth and begin to look through the other corpses.

Shaoqing, returned to Dongfang Runhong: "Lord Hui, like the one who made the identification, died from the Yin Qi entering the body. ”

A large amount of yin qi is poured into the human body at one time, like blowing up a balloon, making the skin bulge, and finally bursting the stomach and exploding to death.

Dongfang Runhong bowed his head and asked Zheng Yuan: "Zheng Shoubei, last night, when was the last time your people saw them." ”

When Zheng Yuan asked his cronies to inform the third and fourth teams, as soon as he opened the room, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

At that time, the blood-colored smoke of blood condensation had not yet dissipated.

Frightened, his cronies hurriedly ran to inform Zheng Yuan.

After learning about the matter, Zheng Yuan sent someone to invite him to work.

After making an appraisal, he said that it might be caused by the entry of yin qi into the body, but he did not have the relevant tools in this regard, so he could only ask the evil suppression department to identify it.

So, Zheng Yuan sent someone to report the case to the evil suppression division and invited Dongfang Runhong.

Zheng Yuan frowned slightly: "Around the time of the third watch, the third team and the fourth team were on the night shift together last night. ”

As he spoke, he called the principals of the four teams over.

Dongfang Runhong asked, "When you were separated last night, was there anything unusual about them?" ”

The principal of the fourth team frowned and thought for a while: "As usual, the fifth and sixth teams came to change values, and we walked all the way, and we only separated when we arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and there was nothing abnormal." ”

"Later, when you were sleeping, did you hear any noise coming from their yard? ”

"Voice...... The principal of the fourth team was silent for a moment, frowned, and said, "I didn't, but my subordinates seemed to hear some voices at that time." ”

Soon, the team members who heard the voice were called over.

"It seems that on the fourth watch, someone is fetching water. ”

"Fetch water?"

"It's the sound of rushing water, but in the middle of the night, how can anyone carry water, so I thought I heard it wrong, so I didn't care. ”

During the conversation, several people had already come to the well in the courtyard of the third team.

The garrison of the eastern city was stationed at a distance from the small river that ran from north to south.

So they dug a well in the yard and brought the water to the well through an underground channel.

Dongfang Runhong stared at the well for a while: "Chen Muzhi, try the purity of the water." ”

Chen Mu stepped forward, took out the pipe of smoke again, hit a bucket of water with a bucket, and poured it into it.

After two breaths, the well water in the bucket also turned black, even richer than the black that had appeared on the corpse just now.

Chen Muzhi hurriedly turned around: "My lord!"

Dongfang Runhong naturally saw this scene, and his face was solemn: "It's broken!"

He immediately turned to Zheng Yuan and said, "Zheng Shoubei, in the name of the General Banner Mansion of the Evil Division of our town, quickly send someone to notify the whole city to suspend the use of water!

The domestic water of the whole county in Ping'an County comes from that small river.

The well is connected to the small river, and there is still such a strong yin qi in the well water, and the river as the main trunk will naturally not be less.

However, it was still a little late.

When Dongfang Runhong returned to the General Banner Mansion with his subordinates, it was already full of county officials and people who had come to report the case.

The entire General Banner Mansion is busy.

You Liang and other small banners, and even the regular selection team members under him, took the alternate team members and ran around the entire city.

Song Shenghua frowned, and the official documents reporting the case had already filled the entire table.
