Chapter 146: Who is the stealth murderer?
The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty once flourished in the middle of the house, which was actually an alternative immortal cultivation method. Cultivators believe that as long as they can collect yin and replenish yang every day, they will be able to maintain their youth forever, and at least they can live to be 9,900 years old, or even immortal. After all, Emperor Jiajing's Fu Jiao Law needs the financial resources of the whole country to support it, and the nobles, ministers, and ministers can't afford it no matter how rich they are.
The so-called principle of intratrial surgery is to borrow the breath of a young woman to help one's metabolism. Later generations also had similar superstitions, and actually came up with the foolish trick of using the blood of young and strong people to replenish and strengthen their own bodies.
Now there is a legendary medicine king who has turned into a human form, and he has nothing to do but wander around the streets, which will take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to cultivate. No one dares to imagine what the result of such a medicine king will be if he takes a bite or drinks blood.
Since ancient times, immortality has been the ultimate goal of human beings, whether it is ancient, medieval, modern or modern history, this pursuit has always continued. As for saying that everyone is immortal and will last forever, how can the earth afford it, that is another question, if human beings can really achieve immortality, maybe they would have developed the universe and entered space long ago.
"Why don't you get out yet, I'm really waiting for me to speak. "Besides, he is a little weak-hearted, as soon as he speaks, this trick will be exposed.
"Those who dare to covet the king of medicine will be punished. β
Suddenly, a chaotic and powerful voice sounded behind the man, and then this person, together with the people around him, suddenly felt a chill in his heart without any awareness, and looked down to see the bloody tip of the knife sticking out of his chest, and then he didn't think of anything, and fell down.
It was only a matter of moments, and when they fell, no one saw a single figure, only a dozen corpses falling down the street.
"Someone killed, someone killed. A man hissed and shouted.
"Let's go, let's go. "A dart master's heart was pounding violently, and he didn't see anyone make a move, if it weren't for that voice, it was simply an invisible hand that killed a dozen people in an instant.
"Miss Zuo, it's dangerous here, you hurry back home. Besides, he hurriedly said to Zuo Ling.
"Okay, Brother Xu, you can leave quickly. Zuo Ling's face also changed greatly, she grew so big, it was the first time she had seen a murder scene.
Everyone was blindsided, and they didn't know what to do about it. This kind of murderous scene in which no one can see the person who made the shot is particularly terrifying and weird.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" a voice shouted.
When they calmed down a little, they found that they couldn't go away, and there were a few Fengyang Mansion catches and tolerances on both sides of the street. Although these catches and tolerances are not very good, they represent the royal law, and to clash with them is to fight against the imperial court.
"Help, someone has killed someone here!"
"Yes, they killed them. A man who had wanted to come around and cut a piece of meat pointed to him.
"Nonsense, it has nothing to do with us, people are not killed by our people. Zuo Ling's face turned red and retorted loudly.
"Whether you killed it or not, you don't count, come back to Fengyang Mansion with me, and wait for the master to ask and understand. When the first catcher stepped forward and said lukewarmly.
"Sun Tou'er, this, this really has nothing to do with us, it has nothing to do with it. A dart master was sweating and stammered.
The people of the Ming Dynasty called the fast catchers the leader, and when they saw the soldiers, they called the chief.
"There has to be a murderer, if you can prove who committed the murderer, we will only arrest the murderer. The catcher quickly flicked the corpse on the ground with his foot, apparently he didn't want to clash with the dart board.
"Boss, we really haven't seen this, so we don't dare to talk nonsense. More than a dozen people fell in an instant, how can we have this ability. The dart master quipped, not afraid of catching fast.
"You obviously killed the people, but you still want to deny it? I heard it clearly, the medicine king just said that as soon as he spoke, his head would fall to the ground, but as soon as he finished speaking, those people died. It must be some kind of demon method used by this medicine king. He is a demon and cannot let him go. "A person resists to the death and bites and does not let go.
Besides, his face was ugly, he just wanted to scare those people away, but he didn't think about it, and a flickering sentence became the best evidence.
"Demons?" Hearing this, the hunters' expressions became solemn.
If it is an ordinary murder case, it is not important, if there is a demon case, it must be reported to the court immediately, and those who delay it will be punished according to the same crime. In the imperial era, the demon was the great enemy of the regime, and if there was a demon somewhere, it would cause chaos on one side and even cause greater social turmoil. The officials of the feudal territory are most afraid of the appearance of demons in the jurisdiction, and whoever is on the stall will be unlucky.
Since someone said it, they have to bring the person back and find out the original, otherwise, no one can afford to let the demon go.
"That...... It doesn't matter if you are a miracle doctor or a medicine king, go back to the house with us and listen to the master's fate. Catcher's face changed, and a chain appeared in his hand.
"Don't touch him, I'll go back with you, and I'll testify. Zuo Ling stood up in front of him.
Xiao Nier didn't say a word, and then stood beside Zuo Ling, standing side by side with her.
"Miss Zuo, and this young lady, you are embarrassing me, today or we will bring him back, or you have the ability to kill us all, and the crime of letting go of the demon is also to kill the head, anyway. β
Besides, look back at the guy who claimed to be a demon and remember what he looked like. I thought, okay, even if I'm the demon you said, can you still catch demons?
"Hey, do you know this person?" he whispered to the dart master next to him.
"The head of the ruffian on the street, who usually doesn't dare to provoke us, is crazy today. You don't care about it, he won't survive tonight. "The dart master hates the authentic way, and it is just a matter of catching it quickly, and a ruffian hooligan leader dares to provoke the prestige of the Zhenwu Dart Bureau.
"Okay, I'll go back to Fengyang Mansion with you. Besides, he didn't panic at all and stood up.
"That's good, you won't have to suffer if you get acquainted. "The catcher came up with a chain and was going to take someone.
"Oh, you still want to lock me back with a chain?" he said, pointing to the chain.
"So what, you have to pay a price, and you can be honest, and you can do it without chains. "That catcher took the opportunity to blackmail.
"If you really lock me back with a chain, it's not a matter of paying a price, but you're going to be in prison and lose your head. "Besides, hehe, hey, he
"How ......" The catcher suddenly thought of something, and his face changed again.
When he heard that he was going to lose his head, he was shocked, and immediately understood, and asked in a low voice, "Are you famous?"
Moreover, he said proudly: "Exactly." β
A Xiucai's fame is actually nothing, but he is also a formal Confucian disciple, and no one is allowed to waste it casually, the so-called punishment is not a doctor, in the Ming Dynasty, this doctor has been delegated to the level of Xiucai. If you want to put the chain on Xiucai and use the criminal law, you need to report to the province to learn the imperial history, and the imperial history of the study has first robbed the person's Xiucai fame, and the government can use the criminal law.
Ann's statement today, Tixue Yushi is the director of the Department of Education + the president of the Education Court, and his rights are much larger than those of the Department of Education, and all the scholars in a province are under his management, and he often goes to various places to inspect the situation of students in various places, and if the cases related to these students are involved, he can personally try them and make a final judgment.
The so-called imperial history refers to the right to enforce the law within the scope of his jurisdiction.
The imperial history of the Ming Dynasty in the provinces mainly includes the supervision of the imperial history and the study of the imperial history, the supervision of the imperial history is to supervise the officials of the province, and the authority is greater than that of the judges.
As for the governor, he was only a temporary minister, who inspected the provinces on behalf of the Son of Heaven, sometimes called the governor, and he returned to Beijing to report on his work after the matter was completed, and he was not an official stationed in the provinces.
In the Qing Dynasty, the governor was the resident official of the provinces and became synonymous with the governor. In the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the local officials were still political envoys, and in the Qing Dynasty, the political envoys became the ministers of finance, in charge of finance.
Compared with Xiucai, of course, lifting people is better, and the Ministry of Rites needs to have the right to remove the fame. If it is a jinshi, it is even more bullish, and a holy decree is needed to deprive the person of the crown and belt, that is, the fame. Because Jinshi is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has no right to remove the fame of a Jinshi, and must be ordered by the emperor himself.
In the holy decree of the Ming Dynasty, such a sentence can often be seen: the crown belt is idle. It means that this official is relieved of all official positions, but he still retains his fame and leaves a tail for future use. In the local area, as long as there is a Jinshi fame, it is almost possible to walk sideways. Of course, reading is reasonable, and in general, Jinshi is already the most senior intellectual of this era.
"Alright then, please go back with us. We also have a responsibility to do so, and we ask for your understanding. "Catch it and be polite immediately.
"Well said. Besides, he also knew that he couldn't hide from the lobby once, not to mention that he didn't want to hide, unless he escaped from Fengyang immediately, which would be contrary to his original intention.
Besides, he turned around and whispered to Zuo Ling and Xiao Nier: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, the matter of the Medicine King is annoying enough, so I can take this opportunity to make a decision." β
"Brother," "Xu Gongzi" Zuo Ling and Xiao Nier spoke almost at the same time, glanced at each other again, and motioned to the other party to speak first.
Besides, he waved his hand lightly and said slowly: "I was just about to visit the prefect of Fengyang Mansion, but I didn't expect that he would send a catcher to invite me." β
At this moment, Zuo Ling and Xiao Nier have completely become one person, and the two of them are holding hands and following behind them.
Quickly find a few people and carry the dozen or so dead bodies with door panels. These bodies need to undergo an autopsy before they can be used as evidence in court. They can only perform autopsies, not treat diseases, which is still different from the forensic doctors of later generations who have undergone systematic and specialized medical education.
After cleaning up, the crowd shouted quickly, led the others and all the nearby participants and witnesses, and a group of almost twenty people, rushed to the Yamen of Fengyang Mansion together.
The people along the street watched and discussed, thinking that the medicine king had been captured.
There were also many people who followed the team and asked what was going on, and when they heard that it was the Medicine King who used demon magic to kill more than a dozen people, they were both scared and happy.
What I'm afraid of is that they also think the same way, who doesn't want to get a piece of medicine king's meat to eat, even if there is a drop of blood, fortunately they are not at the scene, otherwise I am afraid that they will also lie on the door panel at this time. And what they are happy about is that since the medicine king has moved the demon law, maybe the imperial court will sentence him to death, and it is not impossible to spend money to buy a piece of meat or a drop of blood at that time.
Eating human flesh became taboo in later generations, the Ming Dynasty didn't care about that, starving years, human flesh was openly sold on catties and pounds, the government just knew, but also turned a blind eye, as long as it did not openly rebel, anything could be done. As for the flesh and blood of the king of medicine, it is desirable, and of course it is not in the taboo category.
