Chapter 12: Destroying the Door

"It's terrible, it's murder!" a little beggar shouted through the streets, his voice full of fear.

Lingyun walked on the street, and was pretended to be full of the little beggar, and the smell of rancid clothes rushed to his mouth and nose.

Ling Yun angrily lifted the little beggar, kicked him lightly on the buttocks, and said, "In the middle of the night, why are you so screaming wolf?"

The little beggar shivered, and his unwashed hair was tied in bundles, each of which stood on end.

He stammered for a while, swallowed a mouthful of water, and then said, "Someone killed, someone killed!"

Ling Yun was taken aback and asked, "Where did you kill someone?"

The little beggar cried out with a "wow" and said, "The Jiang family in the south of the village has been killed!

Ling Yun said: "Then what are you running around and not going to report to the government?"

The little beggar seemed to come back to his senses and asked strangely, "Uncle, your voice is so familiar!"

"What, do you recognize me?" Ling Yun felt that the little beggar was a little strange.

"I remember, today is the uncle, you invited us to a big meal, right?

Ling Yun vaguely remembered that when he invited a group of beggars to dinner in the restaurant today, there was a little beggar walking around in the crowd, naughty and abnormal, probably him.

Ling Yun said: "Since you have discovered the murder, then you should hurry up and report to the official! I will accompany you to safety." ”

The little beggar was full of fear, hurriedly retreated, shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I won't report to the official, just wait for the official to find out tomorrow!"

Ling Yun asked strangely, "Why don't you dare to report to the official?"

The little beggar said with a serious face: "You don't know? Aren't you a local? Our county lord here is nicknamed Qingtian and three feet high!"

Ling Yun was puzzled: "Three feet taller than Qingtian? Isn't that a Qing official who is even better than Bao Qingtian?"

The little beggar said with a disgusted face: "Bah, the blue sky is three feet high, which means that since he took office, he has been scraping the ground, searching for the people's fat and ointment, and the land has been scraped off three feet, so the blue sky is three feet high!"

Ling Yun smiled: "So, he is a big corrupt official?"

"Not only greed, greed and bad, as long as someone goes to lawsuit, the defendant sends money, the plaintiff also sends money, and the last person to go to prison must be the one who sends less money. There is a way that the entrance of the yamen is open to the south, and there is no reason to come in without money. If I go to report to the police, if I can't catch the real murderer, I will be imprisoned, and if I want to get out of prison, don't think about it without a few thousand taels of silver. The little beggar said matter-of-factly.

"You just found out about the murder, but you didn't commit the crime, how did you get caught in prison? Even if you are a corrupt official, you can't be so confused, right?" Ling Yun asked.

"You don't understand, even if the murderer is not you, he can do a fake case, not to mention that I ran into Jiang's house in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be yellow mud falling from the crotch of my pants, it's not and!" said the little beggar.

"Why did you go to Jiang's house in the middle of the night?" asked Ling Yun.

"Well, it's not that I'm unlucky. Before that, I went to Jiang's house to ask for food, and if I didn't give it to me, I was arrested and beaten up. The little beggar said.

"You must have said something nasty, otherwise how could I beat you?" Ling Yun interjected.

The little beggar blushed and said, "I scolded people, but they beat them so hard that they recuperated their injuries for half a month, so I held a grudge, and after the injuries were healed, I picked up dung and threw it on his door every night." Tonight I got up in the middle of the night to pee, and I was angry when I remembered it, and I picked up a lot of feces and was about to throw the door of his house, but unexpectedly, the door was hidden, and as soon as I threw it, it opened, and I was so frightened that I ran away. I ran hundreds of feet away, but no one chased after me, I wondered in my heart, and ran back to his house, but I didn't expect to see a few people lying on the cold courtyard ground, I was startled, only to find a puddle of fishy water under my feet, all of which was full of blood, and I was so frightened that I ran away! You say, if it weren't for his death, who would lie on the ground, and there would be such a big puddle of blood!" The little beggar palpitated.

Ling Yun pondered for a while and said, "You take me to the scene to have a look." ”

The little beggar shook his head like a rattle, and said, "It's so terrifying, I won't go, I'm almost scared to death." ”

However, the little beggar clearly pointed out the direction of the Jiang family to Ling Yun, and disappeared into the night.

Lingyun walked through the streets and alleys, came to the south of the village in the mouth of the little beggar, and found a building that was different from ordinary houses, located in the middle of the mountain, with two floors high, towering arches, and a pair of stone lions in front of the door, which showed that the status of this family was extraordinary.

Ling Yun thought to himself: "This is the Jiang family, no wonder he went to someone to ask for food and was beaten, if he wanted to knock on the courtyard door, he had to climb over the outer wall of this fence and trespass on other people's territory, so it was strange not to be beaten." ”

Ling Yun climbed over the low fence and came to the scene of the crime. In the past, Ling Yun was quite afraid of this kind of murder scene, but in this low-dimensional world, everything was like a picture scroll, and he was an invincible existence that was immortal, so why should he be afraid?

The bamboo-woven fence was stained with a lot of blood, and there were a few signs of being crushed, and it seemed that the murderer was not alone.

The door was hidden, and by the moonlight, a few pools of jet-black blood at the door were trampled by footprints.

Ling Yun suddenly saw a lump of cow dung, very fresh cow dung, emitting a stench, trampled to the ground.

Ling Yun was shocked: "When the little beggar returned to check, it was likely that the murderer had not left, or the murderer had returned to the scene of the murder later. There is a fence outside, and unless the murderer is killed, ordinary people will not turn over, so that no one else will come to the scene of the murder. ”

Lingyun looked around, silently, the sleeping earth in the night.

Pick up the fallen door lamp from the ground, with the marks of a sword slash on it.

Lingyun was enough to see the entire surroundings clearly with the help of faint light in the dark night, without the need for lights, looking up at the courtyard, it was a terrifying hell on earth.

Rao was mentally prepared, and Ling Yun, who had witnessed such a tragic scene for the first time, still couldn't help but want to vomit.

Four corpses, a couple, and two young daughters, were lying in a pool of blood, each of them slashed with a sword, and their faces were covered in blood, which could only be distinguished by their clothing and posture.

Ling Yun carefully avoided the pool of blood to avoid destroying the scene of the crime, and walked into the room, only to see a baby who had just reached the age of one moon being brutally killed in the hall, piercing the swaddling clothes with a sword, and the noisy baby could no longer cry, cold as a doll.

The white swaddling clothes were soaked with blood, as if a sleeping baby had been wrapped in a red cloth.

Ling Yun was indignant, who would be so cruel to such a young and ignorant baby?

Suddenly, a thin silver needle shot out quickly, piercing through the bloody air in the courtyard and shooting straight towards Ling Yun.

Ling Yun heard the sound discernment, followed the direction of the thin needle, and found that a man in black appeared in the courtyard, staring at him coldly.

Gently dodging the thin needle, Ling Yun was as fast as lightning and rushed towards the man in black, this must be the real murderer who returned to the scene of the crime!

That figure was so familiar, Ling Yun searched hard from his memory.

"Lift the mask and see the real murderer!" Ling Yun said in his heart.

In the flash of light, Ling Yun had already flown to the front, and the man in black looked at each other, and suddenly a strange fragrance hit, touching Ling Yun's left hand in the mask, feeling a tingling pain.

The man in black showed a smug smile in his eyes, and said, "Cheap servant, I didn't expect it to be you!" The voice was extremely strange, and it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.

Ling Yun covered his painful left hand, took a few steps back, and was shocked in his heart: "I must have heard this voice, why is it so familiar?"

The man in black pulled out the dagger at his waist and walked towards Lingyun, the dagger glowing blue in the moonlight.

Ling Yun felt dizzy in his head, trying to calm his mind, but he was even more dizzy.

"Isn't it fragrant? The world is full of strange fragrance and medicine, no one can hold three drops of water, I can't imagine that you haven't fainted until now, and you haven't found out that you are such a hidden genius! It's a pity!"

Ling Yun's consciousness became more and more blurred, although the brain told the body not to sleep, but the sleepiness occupied the entire body, like an ant biting every nerve, and finally even the brain was filled with tiredness.

"Sleep and not die?Anyway, in this world, I am an immortal existence, so how can I ?...... if I sleep?"

The sleepiness that was hard to resist scratching his bones and scratching his heart finally couldn't support it, and Ling Yun fell to the ground.
