Chapter 377: New Official Wang Dan
Yang Xianmao cautiously observed the surroundings for a while, but did not find any movement. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Then, Yang Xianmao lifted the straight, frozen short-legged Taoist in his hand as if he was carrying a piece of wood, and pulled Xuan'er towards the inner house of the yamen.
At this time, the night was thicker, and the figures were no longer visible after a few steps, and their figures disappeared into the night.
It was finally getting light, but no one came in, and it wasn't until it was dawn that the locked door opened. Pang Zhixian took a group of soldiers with a single knife and a bow and arrows, cautiously entered the yamen, and when he came to the compound, he saw that the offering table that had been well placed had been slapped with a palm, and the offerings were scattered all over the ground. All kinds of magic weapons were also thrown everywhere on the ground, and several large trees around them were actually split into two pieces by the powerful force and fell to the ground. The most shocking thing was that there was a large pool of blood on the ground, and on the ground, the young Taoist and his little junior sister were gone.
A smug smile appeared on the corner of Tang County's Pang Zhixian mouth, but there was a sad look on his face, he sighed, shook his head and said, "It's really amazing, this ghost is so fierce, he has injured several Dao Masters and Masters, and these two have also been killed." It seems that we have to find a more capable Taoist to come and recover it. ”
Speaking of this, he turned back to the officials who followed him and said, "Continue to make a list, recruit capable people and strangers to come and subdue the ghosts, and the bounty will be increased to one hundred and fifty yuan." You must find someone who is really capable, and you must not find this kind of young and newly baked little Taoist priest again, and give his life in vain. Alas, look for it, see where the ghost has gotten his body, and bury him when he finds it. They died tragically at the hands of ghosts for the sake of our Pingjiang County. ”
The officials agreed, and immediately dispersed to look for it. But I couldn't find it after looking for a long time.
Of course, Pang Zhixian would not stay with them to find it, or paced to his signing room to prepare for the normal office, although the yamen was haunted, but the office still had to be done, because the ghost had never come out during the day, so it was relatively safe in the yamen every day.
He was in the signing room to review the official documents. The door moved without wind, and it closed with a bang, and the attendants outside were startled, and the attendants glanced at each other, thinking that it might be that the county magistrate was going to do something inside, and it was not suitable for outsiders to know, so they didn't care.
There was no other person in the signing room, only the county magistrate alone, and the other attendants were all outside the door to listen to the greeting. Pang Zhixian was also startled by this loud noise, and didn't know what was going on. When I looked up, I was suddenly frightened, and there was a zombie standing behind the door with two oily and slippery pigtails, with eyes and mouth narrowed into a slit, like a whiteboard, and the zombie leaned against the door with its body, and leaned against the door like a column.
"Bantam, what the hell are you doing?"
After Pang Zhixian saw the appearance of this zombie clearly, he was not afraid anymore and scolded him sharply. Then he looked around, but there was no one except the ghost puppet, and there was no short-stated short-legged Taoist as he called it.
At this time, the ghost puppet leaning behind the door, after tying the door, floated towards him gloomily. - That's right, it's floating in the air, and the toes are half a foot above the ground, so it's scary to look at.
Pang Zhixian was really taken aback, and hurriedly threw the brush in his hand on the table, stood up and took two steps back, raised his voice, and shouted: "Bantam Daoist, you get out of here! Where are you? Get out of here!"
No one answered, but the golem had already straightened up in front of him, raised his hand, and crossed it towards his neck.
Pang Zhixian couldn't help but be shocked, hurriedly squatted down, hid under the screen, and said urgently: "Bantam Daoist, don't joke, just say anything." ”
At this time, I don't know where the voice of the bantam man floated from, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I helped you kill these people, the money you gave is not enough, you must increase it." ”
The ghost puppet got closer to Pang Zhixian and opened its mouth, and Bai Sensen's teeth emitted a cold light, making people tremble when they saw it.
At this time, Pang Zhixian was really frightened enough, and hurriedly said: "If you have something to discuss, it is good to discuss, okay, this official promises you, you will give you as much money as you want." Come out and stop this, he's going to hurt Lao Tzu, and you won't get a penny!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people came out from behind the screen, and the first one was Yang Xianmao, a young Taoist he thought was dead, his hand pinched the back of the cape's neck, carrying him like a chicken, and at the same time controlling his neck. If something is wrong, it can kill him in one fell swoop.
The little junior sister who followed him behind them also stared at him viciously.
When Pang Zhixian saw it, he was immediately shocked, and he opened his mouth to call the attendants outside the door. The ghost puppet had already been instructed by Yang Xianmao's mind, and as soon as he jumped forward like lightning, he grabbed his neck with his hand, and his voice was choked at the moment when he was about to exit.
Yang Xianmao slowly walked in front of him, stared at his frightened and round eyes, and said: "Pang Zhixian, you paid a lot of money to buy this bantam Taoist to use this ghost puppet to murder the Taoist who came to do it, and also killed several people in the yamen, you admitted it yourself just now, what else do you have to say?"
Yang Xianmao used his mind to make the ghost puppet's hand holding Tang Zhixian loosen a little, so that he could speak.
Pang Zhixian swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "You, who are you?"
As soon as Yang Xianmao raised his hand, there was already a sword in his palm that was clearly studded with pearls and gemstones, which was the Shang Fang sword given to him by Song Taizong, held it in the air, and said, "Do you know this sword?"
Song Taizong appointed the minister of the Qin Mission, and gave Shang Fang the sword to inspect the place, this matter has been transmitted to the yamen all over the country in an official document, but it is not specifically said who it is and where it will appear. So when this Pang Zhixian heard this, his heart suddenly became cold, trembling, and said: "It turned out to be the master of Qincha, and the lower officials have eyes and no beads, please spare your life." ”
Yang Xianmao used the hilt of Shang Fang's sword to smack the black gauze hat on his head to the ground, then knocked him on the head and said, "The only way out for you now is to confess." Do you confess yourself or do you want me to torture me?"
Pang Zhixian knew that if he fell into the hands of Yang Xianmao at this moment, there was no hope, so he could only confess that maybe he would suffer a little less, and even end up with a whole corpse, so he could only cry and say with a sad face: "I confess, I confess all of them, I did all these things, and the purpose was just to cover up my embezzlement of the imperial court's money." -- In the three years I have been in office, I have swallowed thousands of yamen funds, most of which are collected taxes, because I am about to step down and take over, and I have heard that the new Wang Dan is a guy who does not rub sand in his eyes, and he will definitely notice my affairs and stab all the things I have done. Then I not only have to lose my official position, but even have to fall to the ground, so I thought of a way to pretend to be a ghost and scary, I want to scare Wang Dan away, if I can't scare away, I can also use the excuse that the ghost stole the silver taels. I put up a list to look for a talented person, and this bantam man came to the door. After the negotiation, I promised him a lot of money to help me pretend to be a ghost and kill people. ”
Yang Xianmao listened to what he said and told the truth, because he had already interrogated the bantam Daoist last night, and what he said was exactly the same as what Pang Zhixian said now, and they could correspond to each other, proving the truth of the matter.
It turned out that the reason why Pingjiang County was haunted was because of the means used by this Pang Zhi County, who deliberately called this bantam Taoist to pretend to be a ghost and killed the Taoist who was about to take office, so as to scare away Wang Danzhi County, who was about to take office.
After Yang Xianmao finished asking, he took the ghost puppet and sat Tang Zhixian on his chair, but opened the door and came out, calling the attendant outside the door to call the general judge.
When the attendant saw that Yang Xianmao was not dead, but appeared in the signing room, he was immediately surprised and delighted, and he was still admiring in his heart, this person is not young, but the Taoism is very clever, and he went to the house of the county magistrate without knowing anything, but they were still in the dark and did not know.
Hearing Yang Xianmao tell them to call their companions, several entourages hurriedly agreed, and took the time to glance at Pang Zhixian in the house, although he was sitting on a chair, he looked lost and depressed, and he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly ran to call Tong Ju.
The general judgment came soon, Yang Xianmao showed his identity, the general sentence was startled, and quickly bowed down to ask for guilt, Yang Xianmao asked Pang Zhixian to say what was going on, then Pang Zhixian told what happened, and the general judgment was stunned when he heard it, and he didn't slow down for a while.
Yang Xianmao said to his companions: "These two people are handed over to you to dispose of, I could have killed them all with one sword, but my sword is a reward from the emperor, if you can not get blood, you will not get blood, or hand them over to the king to be punished!"
Only then did the general judge come back to his senses, and quickly ordered a few guards at the door who were also stunned to come in, lock Pang Zhixian and the bantam Taoist with iron chains, and escort them to the prison, and immediately record the interrogation and fix the evidence.
At this time, a quick horse reported that the new Wang Dan, the magistrate of Kaiyang County, had arrived outside the city, and asked the magistrate to go to greet him.
After reporting to Yang Xianmao, Yang Xianmao asked him to meet him and tell him what happened. The general judge hurriedly took the yamen officials out of the city to meet the new county magistrate Wang Dan.
Wang Dan was very surprised when he heard that Yang Xianmao, the lord of the Qin Mission, was in the county government, and in one fell swoop he caught the current magistrate who used demon magic to try to scare away the truth about his engulfment of public funds, and hurriedly returned to the yamen with a group of people, and came straight to see Yang Xianmao.
Yang Xianmao waited for Wang Dan's arrival in the signing room of Pangzhi County. After Wang Dan came, Yang Xianmao saw that he was only in his twenties, so he smiled and said: "Wang Zhixian is really a young talent, the ghosts in this yamen have already scattered in fear when they heard that Wang Zhixian is coming, and they don't dare to stay in the yamen anymore, hahahaha." ”
Wang Dan didn't know what Yang Xianmao meant by saying this, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't dare to be contemptible, it's all your credit to Lord Yang, you caught Pang Zhi County who pretended to be a god and a ghost, Lord Yang not only has excellent medical skills and outstanding military achievements, but also is good at catching ghosts - catching people who pretend to be gods and ghosts, hehe, I admire my humble duties." ”
Yang Xianmao snorted when he heard him say this, and said, "Listening to this, Wang Zhixian still knows something about me." ”
"Lord Yang is talented and prestigious, how can he not know about his humble position?"
