5. Miraculous murders

"Help, dead people have been found in the mountains!" The man threw himself on the carriage with a panicked expression, "Many, so many dead! ”

The people around were terrified when they heard this, the town was built on the hills, but those mountains were not high, more just small dirt slopes. It's not far from the Imperial City, and after passing through two towns, you will arrive at the official road to the Imperial City, so the security has always been very good, how can there be many dead people? But seeing that this person doesn't look like his brain is abnormal, Lin Zigui grabbed his wrist and checked his pulse, his heart beat faster, and he looked frightened, "Where did the dead man come from?" ”

"Today, I delivered food to the Shen family's mansion in the middle of the mountain, and as soon as I pushed the door in, I saw ......" He seemed to remember those scenes again, trembling and speechless.

"A hospital full of dead people?" Lin Zigui obviously knew his situation better, he was not a timid person, but he was scared like this, and he didn't know how he managed to get down the mountain.

"Chirp." The little phoenix saw that he was pitiful, and decisively flapped its wings at him. How can you be so timid? There is not much difference between a dead man and a dead dog or a dead cat or something. In the eyes of the Phoenix, the mythical bird, these are stupid creatures.

"Phoenix, Phoenix?"

The people around saw the small round ball, and also came around, the phoenix that only existed in the legend book, but I saw it in the beautiful picture, although this little guy is small, but it is indeed a phoenix.

Seeing that everyone was looking around it, the little phoenix was immediately happy, standing on Lin Zigui's shoulders and spreading his wings, with a great momentum of soaring into the sky. Lin Zigui is helpless, obviously he can't fly, okay? "Everyone, from the Valley of the Doctor Immortals, since a dead person has been found in the mountain, please go to the official, this brother may as well lead the way, let me go down and have a look."

When everyone heard about the Doctor Immortal Valley, they were immediately in awe, and besides, they still had a phoenix, so they must not be mortals. So a small group of people rushed to report to the official, and the middle-aged man who was so frightened that he died alive was carried by others and walked up the mountain together.

Lin Zigui parked the carriage in the restaurant where he lived before, and took the little phoenix up the mountain together, the little guy actually likes the beautiful scenery very much, so he rushed all the way to the town, he only cared about eating and drinking, and rarely squatted on Lin Zigui's shoulders like now, looking into the distance.

Some bold young men hugged each other all the way and told Lin Zigui about the general situation of the family on the mountain. The family's surname is Shen, the family is big, and I don't know which way the rich businessmen moved here, there are a few shops in the town, but they don't take care of it deliberately, and the food and clothing are the best, and someone specially delivers the vegetables every day, all of which are freshly picked. The frightened middle-aged man was in charge of delivering food to them.

"So exquisite?" Lin Zigui thought for a while, "It's almost time to catch up with the palace." ”

"Yes, sir, you don't know, if it weren't for the fact that we are just a small town here, we would all suspect that the mansion in the middle of the mountain is the emperor's palace." Someone quipped.

Lin Zigui couldn't laugh, everyone knew that when today's son was young and didn't even have a harem, where did he come from? The tragic death of such a rich and noble family shows that there is something wrong with their wealth.

When they arrived at the door, everyone didn't dare to go any further, but Lin Zigui had already smelled the strong smell of blood, and the little phoenix also "chirped" non-stop. Lin Zigui pushed open the door and couldn't help frowning, the situation was even more tragic than he imagined, no wonder the man was scared like that. The little phoenix was completely stunned, it had only witnessed a few wars of humans in the Nine Heavens for many years, and that was also in the sky, such an immersive scene of seeing a large number of dead people, it had never seen it.

So when Lin Zigui walked inside, it "chirped" and screamed to stop, and its paws grabbed Lin Zigui's shoulders tightly, trying to pull him back. But that must be useless, Lin Zigui reached out and rubbed its head, "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”

He observed several corpses nearby, found that they were all knife wounds, and sighed, it was another vendetta. The town was far away from the county government, and the county order arrived in a hurry when Lin Zigui checked all the corpses.

"Bold, how can the scene of the murder allow idle people to enter!" As soon as he came in, he scolded Lin Zigui, but when he saw the phoenix standing on his shoulder, he hesitated slightly, "Who are you?" ”

"The medicine immortal valley forest returns."

"It turned out to be Lord Lin." The county commander hurriedly came over and saluted, "The lower official is rude." ”

"No need to be polite, this family of ninety-eight people was all killed. There were knife wounds all over his body, and it should have been a large group of people who broke in with knives and killed all the people in the house. ”

The county magistrate broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, "Nine, ninety-eight people are all dead?" ”

"Yes, no living mouths found."

The county order was so frightened that he almost didn't sit on the ground, what can I do? More than ninety people, he has not seen so many dead people in the county magistrate for so long, how can he explain this?

"Do you know the details of this family?" Lin Zigui was about to be scared when he saw the county order, so he quickly helped him sort out his thoughts.

"I only moved here this year, my family is big, my family's surname is Shen, and I came from the imperial city."

"Imperial City?" Lin Zigui frowned, it can't have anything to do with something going on, right?

"Yes, the lower officials saw that they had the road guide of the imperial city, and they didn't dare to ask in detail."

"You said the Imperial City is too guarded?" Lin Zigui's heart was cold, it was actually the imperial city guard, could it be that the situation in the palace was already so tense? This man came to settle here from the Imperial City, what did he do before? "So, you don't know what he used to do?"

"He mentioned it, saying that it was in the tea business."

"...... like this" Lin Zigui touched his chin, and the little phoenix was bored waiting on his shoulder and stepped on his shoulder.

"Chirp." Hungry.

"Let's go to town for dinner later." Lin Zigui walked to the backyard, "If you are in the tea business, why is the tea of the owner in the house so ordinary?" ”

The county magistrate has turned around and ordered the arrest to call more people, but there are not enough people in the yali, and this is more than 90 people. Then I went to the town and called some young people, and when the autopsy was completed, I helped bury these people. The stab wounds on the corpse are obvious, and there is no need for more examinations at all, as long as everyone is numbered, they can be buried in the ground.

The trouble is just that this person is recommended by the Imperial City Taishou, if the Taishou asks, how to answer?

Lin Zigui looked around back and forth, and only found a few cans of tea in the warehouse, which was not very good, that is, the ones that ordinary rich and noble people drank. Ordinary businessmen pay special attention to the things they operate, and they must use good tea at home and outside, just like Yixian Valley, which is full of medicinal herbs inside and out, and there are countless rare medicinal herbs. Selling tea is not an unsavory business, there is no need to hide it, so, is the head of the family lying?

It seems that this family is not simple.

After Lin Zigui finished investigating, he planned to leave. This murder has nothing to do with him, he is just passing by. When the county magistrate saw that he was leaving, he was very helpless, and with a bitter face, he sent him respectfully.

"Adults don't have to worry, just report it, and someone will handle it."

"Yes." The county order was appeased by him and calmed down a little.
