Chapter 471: The Strange Case of Linzhou
Bian Dan thought that the emperor was going to blame him for startling the holy car, but he didn't expect that the emperor had been asking about this little rakshasa. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Please search! The fastest update, he realized that if he could return to the emperor well, he might be able to avoid death.
So Bian Dan hurriedly replied: "The hometown of the little slave is in Linzhou on the East China Sea, and the people in the hometown have warned children to be careful of an animal like a weasel since childhood. Although this animal is the size of a weasel, its coat is grayish-black, its front paws are extremely strong, and its toenails are long and pointed, which is completely different from that of a weasel and is very recognizable. Because of its sharp teeth and sharp teeth, it is fierce by nature, and is the best at catching snakes and burrowing. The people of my hometown call this animal the little rakshasa. ”
After hearing this, Zhao Yuan did not reduce the doubts on his face at all: "No matter how fierce this beast is, it is just a thing with a ruler, it can't kill a cow, it can't fight a horse, how can it have such a bad name as Little Rakshasa?" ”
"Yes, yes, the emperor is wise. The most terrifying thing about this little rakshasa is not that it can make holes and have sharp claws, but that this kind of animal can be domesticated by people and do some hurtful things for its master. Flatan replied with his head bowed.
"Oh?" Zhao Yuan seemed to be very interested in this matter, he stood with his legs apart, and just now he was holding his hands behind his back, but now he turned into a fist behind his back, and the other hand was lightly pressed on his belt.
Yun Yangyi's action, a heart suddenly fell. She knew that Zhao Yuan was a military general, and when he felt threatened or unsafe, he would subconsciously put his hands on his waist, which was an action that could take out his weapon at any time. Although he didn't have any blades on him at this point.
Yun Yang didn't care about speculating about Zhao Yuan's thoughts at this time, but she was worried about Bian first: "Shang is still afraid of the appearance of this rare beast in the palace, and Bian Dan recklessly disturbed the emperor. Although with the character of the emperor to kill people at will. But the king's heart is unpredictable, if the emperor is in a bad mood tonight, even if he doesn't put the flat tan to death, most of them will send him to the court bureau, if so, the flat tan will not be far from death. ”
Yunyang was looking down and thinking about how to resolve this matter for Bian Dan, when he heard Bian Dan speak again: "The little slave heard when he was a child that this beast is often domesticated by some mysterious hermit warlocks who live in strange rocks and caves in the deep mountains and dense forests. These hermit warlocks did not know what they were secretly practicing and needed all kinds of rare and strange medicinal materials, and after they domesticated the little rakshasas, they tied a bamboo basket to their abdomen, and let these little beasts collect herbs for them on the mountain cliffs beyond the reach of manpower. ”
When Zhao Yuan heard this, his expression relaxed slightly, and the fist behind his back didn't seem to be as tight as it was just now: "Since it was domesticated to collect medicine, it is not extremely vicious." ”
When he heard this, he shook his head unexpectedly, and said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, you don't know, this animal may not be extremely vicious in itself, but if it follows a vicious master, then it will do no less bad things." ”
"Xiao Nu heard two things when he was a child, both of which were unsolved strange cases in Linzhou City. The first is that there is a big family in the city, and although it is rich, it can be regarded as a family of charity. But for some reason, in recent years, at the end of every year, when settling accounts, I always found that a large amount of silver was missing, but there was no thief in the house. ”
The lord of the big family thought that the servants of the family were guarding and stealing, so he tried it again in the first instance, and even alarmed the government, but he didn't find out why. The old man was unwilling, so he released a message on the rivers and lakes, and offered a reward for the master to come to the house to solve the case. ”
Sure enough, as soon as the reward was released, several groups of people came within a few days, either cheating and drinking, or boasting, and none of them could do practical things. This old man is also sad, so he plans to withdraw the bounty and consider himself unlucky. But at this time, a man dressed in a moon-white robe and a fairy wind bone came to the house. The man was carrying only a small bamboo basket and nothing else. ”
As soon as he saw the master, he said that he would be able to solve the silver theft case in one night, but only on the condition that the bounty would be twice as much as the others. The old man looked at this person's good conversation, and thought that if the case was solved, the previous losses could be recovered. After thinking about it twice, this reward was nothing, so the lord readily agreed to this person. ”
This person was not ambiguous, he was going to live in the stolen warehouse that night, and he especially told the old man to lock the doors and windows from the outside. No matter what happens inside tonight, don't open the door, as long as this night is over, the thief who stole the silver will naturally appear early tomorrow morning. ”
When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed, and thought that he would be able to bring the thief to justice early tomorrow morning, and that the stone that had been pressing on his heart for many days was removed, so that the whole family slept well that night. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the old man took the family to the stolen treasury to open the door. ”
"It doesn't matter if you open the door, it will scare away most of the souls of this old man! It turned out that the walls of the warehouse, on several cases, were sprayed with blood everywhere, and the master who was going to solve the case had his throat cut at this time, and his body was on the spot. Not far from his corpse, there was also a small rakshasa covered in wounds and had his throat cut by the same method. ”
"This old man took people to inspect the house, and all the silver in the treasury was gone, and the doors and windows of this warehouse were all locked from the outside, and there was no trace of damage. The old man and the family searched every inch of the storeroom, but found only a hole in the corner of the wall that was the thickness of a child's arm, and nothing else was found. ”
"No matter what, if there is a murder in the family, you can't keep silent. So the old man reported the matter to the official, and the government sent several groups of people to find out why. But because the murder happened in this big family, they were summoned twice in three days, and sometimes they had to be tortured if they couldn't be tried, and the family suffered a lot of crimes. This old man was even frightened, and he couldn't afford to get sick. ”
"Although the doctor invited a lot, the illness of this old man is getting worse day by day. Finally, when he was dying, he felt that his soul had left his body and was about to fly to the sky. But at this time, he was still unwilling, and he had to go to the stolen treasury before going to heaven. ”
Just as his soul was wandering into the storeroom, the tall man sat cross-legged in the middle of the room. The old man was startled and was about to speak, but saw this master kneeling in front of him and kowtowing. The master said that he had to plead guilty to the lord and tell the truth, otherwise he would be trapped in this room forever and would not be able to get out. ”
"This old man is full of questions, so naturally he wants to come quickly. This master said that the reason why he told the master that he could solve the case overnight was precisely because he was the culprit who kept stealing the silver in the mansion! ”
