Chapter 139: Ghost-Faced Man

There was such a big incident, but the government did not make any move, and some people went to report to the official, but they were stopped by the government on the grounds that they were spreading rumors and causing trouble, and the government did not accept it.

As soon as this incident came out, people were panicked, and the whole Yuncheng was immersed in the previous grief and panic, and the doors of every house were closed in the blue sky and daylight, and the original lively New Year became a scene of vegetarian and mourning.

The reason for the people to spread rumors and cause trouble is simply untenable, but Juan Zhi has never opened a court to accept the case.

At the time of the incident, Lin An also accompanied his wife and children to enjoy the lanterns on the street and watch the lion dance performance.

The crowd was in turmoil, all of them only cared about fleeing for their lives, in the chaos, Lin An and his wife and children were scattered by the crowd, Lin An looked for the traces of his wife and children like crazy, and almost lost his life under the knife of those ghost-faced bandits several times.

It was also thanks to Lin An's life, maybe God felt that his life should not be extinguished, he was so desperate to rampage, and he saved his life.

Lin An was just a scholar in the end, watching the common people fall down in front of him one after another, the blood stained the snow red, splashed on the colorful lanterns, the blood was red, and even the candle flame was red.

Lin An was so frightened that he began to become numb, and there was only one thought in his mind, which was to find his wife and children as soon as possible, and the more he was late, the more dangerous they would be.

The killing and plundering lasted about half an hour, but for the people of Yuncheng, this terrible scene felt like a century had passed.

The ghost-faced bandits gradually withdrew, and the originally lively streets were littered with corpses, which was shocking.

When Lin An found his wife, she had become a cold corpse, buried among the many corpses, lying face down in plain clothes stained with blood, and she could no longer see her original color.

Her eyes were wide open, and her pupils dilated in horror.

Lin An hugged his wife's corpse and felt that his liver and intestines were broken, and his crying and sorrow mixed with the whole street, hovering over Yuncheng for a long time.

As long as Lin An found his wife in the pile of corpses, his three-year-old daughter was nowhere to be seen, and no one was born or died.

Not only Lin An, but other families who came out with their children were the same, the children were gone, and even the body was not found.

Lin An said that he believed that the children, including his daughter, had been taken captive by the ghost-faced bandits, and that they must all be alive, living somewhere they didn't know.

Having said that, such a big thing happened in Yuncheng overnight, but Hu Anzhi seemed to be nothing, and he didn't care about it for a ridiculous reason, ignoring the life and death of the people.

Lin An went to persuade him many times, but he either ate the closed door or was kicked out.

The attitude of the government made the people completely angry, and their parents, who originally loved the people like children, became a stone-hearted, black-and-white dumb official, and the bad luck they did not expect was coming to them step by step.

Many people gathered at the gate of the county government to guard, and their food and accommodation were moved to the gate of the county government, just so that the county magistrate could accept their case and arrest those inhuman bandits.

But they kept it for several days, and the gate of the county government was closed, and even the slightest wind was impermeable.

Although it is spring, the weather is still extremely cold, and the wind is even stronger. Guarding like this, one day or two days can support it, and after a long time, no one can afford to spend it, so everyone has to discuss taking turns to guard.

On this day, it was night, and the wind howled and swirled overhead. The temperature is around freezing, and the wind is so cold that people only shiver.

On this day, Wang Gui and others will come to keep it. About three or four people were nested in an abandoned grass hut outside the county yamen, with air leaking on all sides, and several people had to huddle together to keep each other warm.

At night, Wang Gui was awakened by a burst of urine, the wind poured in, like an initiation, so that his sleepiness dissipated instantly, he gathered the thick jacket on his body, cursed and got up, glanced at the other three sleeping people, and then prepared to find a place to carry people to solve the matter.

As soon as Wang Gui lifted his pants, he always felt that someone behind him was staring at him, and he trembled in fright, and when he was about to go back quickly, his eyes glanced at the angle where he was......

This glance didn't matter, but when he saw a figure wearing a ghost face, Wang Gui was almost frightened and fainted.

He saw it really, the ghost face flashed with a cold green light against the light of the two lanterns at the gate of the county government, as if it was a demon from hell, and a long mark was swept all the way on the snow in black clothes.

Wang Gui was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva, and he didn't dare to come out, as soon as the hand that lifted his pants loosened, the pants fell to the crook of his legs, and he shivered with cold, staring at such a ghostly shadow, he didn't dare to lift the dropped pants.

The ghost figure quickly moved to the front of the county yamen, raised his hand and gently knocked on the vermilion door.

Soon, the door came, and someone poked its head out of it.

Wang Gui heard the ghost-faced man speak, his voice was hoarse and low, revealing a hint of cold air, which drifted into his ears leisurely.

Ghostface said: "I have something to see your family." ”

Immediately, the ghost-faced man entered the gate of the county government, and the vermilion gate was closed from the inside, making a slight "squeak" sound.

Wang Gui was stupid and was stunned for a long time. At this time, the wind was stronger, and a biting chill hit his lower body, which made him come back to his senses.

Wang Gui was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay longer, so he crawled back to the grass hut with a rolling belt, and woke up his companion who was still asleep in a low voice, and kept shouting: "There are ghosts!"

The other three didn't believe it, and they all said that Wang Gui was stupid for calling urine to suffocate.

Wang Gui was annoyed, he must not dare to stay here, the other three didn't believe it, he didn't care about explaining, and fled home in a panic.

The next day, Wang Gui was still shocked, but when he thought of the ghost-faced man last night, he always felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

He came to the ancestral hall to incense his old mother who was killed by bandits on the night of Shangyuan, and he felt a burst of sorrow in his heart, and he hated those bandits so much, but he hated Juan Zhi of Yuncheng County even more, and he didn't care about the life and death of the people!

After thinking about it, Wang Gui was shocked to realize that the ghost-faced people last night were very similar to the masks worn by those ghost-faced bandits, ninety percent similar.

Thinking about it this way, an even more terrible thought exploded in Wang Gui's man.

The prefectural commander colludes with bandits!

Wang Gui was so frightened by this thought that he sat on the ground, if this was really the case, those bandits were found by the county magistrate, who else could they find to administer justice?

Combined with a series of reactions from the county magistrate, Wang Gui collapsed on the ground, his body kept twitching, this matter was very important, he didn't know what to do.

After thinking about it, Wang Gui couldn't eat for days, couldn't sleep at night, all he thought about was this thing, and he didn't even have the courage to enter the ancestral hall to worship his old mother, and he always felt that he was ashamed of the dead villagers and the elderly mother, and even more ashamed of the ancestors.

But as soon as the matter was said, they were facing Yuncheng's parents and officials, the former Hu Qingtian, and Master Hu. He wished that he had seen it yesterday, and it was just a ghost that didn't exist.
