Chapter 226: Sluggish State
Soren felt the sharp pain from the broken bones in his body.
But none of this can compare to the horror in his heart when he really saw the corpse of the old man in the yin and yang robe.
Sure enough, he died.
Sure enough, he died.
At this time, the corpse of the old man in the yin and yang robe was very miserable in the hands of Jin An.
The whole chest collapsed, and all the internal organs were shattered.
The skull was half choked.
In order to avoid corpse spots, the old man was cheating on death.
So even the skull was crushed by the other party.
Just when Jin An walked through the ruins and was about to enter Jiafu, suddenly, there was a large number of footsteps under the dark night, and such a big movement occurred here in Jiafu, which alarmed the official mansion, and more than a dozen night guards and village warriors surrounded him.
"Murderer in the street, stop, who are you?"
Those officials just came to Jiafu, and what they saw was the corpse of the old man in Jin An's hand, and they directly drew their knives and surrounded Jin An.
Jin An stopped and calmly looked at the officials who surrounded him.
At this time, the young man Zongren in Jiafu, looking at the official officials who had finally arrived late, he almost laughed out loud in surprise.
Cough.
Ahem.
As soon as he was emotional, he was involved in the internal organs, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood in a row, and just now Jin An kicked at his grinding plate and rock, shocking his internal organs.
"Official, help, we are the people of the Jiang family, we are the people of the Jiang family!"
"He is a demon who kills people without blinking, several officials should be careful that he violently kills, you look at the corpse in his hand, that person is the master of Miss Jiang Jiaba, as soon as this demon Dao saw us, he beat Miss Jiang Jiaba to serious injury without saying a word, and killed Miss Jiang Family's eighth lady in a shameless sneak attack!"
Zong Renru saw that he woke up, and desperately grabbed the last life-saving straw after falling into the water, and he was afraid that he would spew blood from his mouth, and he moved out of the Jiang family's identity, and accused Jin An of being a demon.
Really.
As soon as those officials heard that this matter was still involved in the Jiang family, their faces changed greatly.
The atmosphere in which they surrounded Jin'an became even more tense and tense.
"Officials, what I said is true. ”
"If you can't believe me, you can ask the Jia family present, the Jia family has seen it, it was the demon Dao who took the lead in attacking us just now!"
Most of the bones in his body were broken, and Zong Ren, who was covered in blood and miserable, screamed miserably.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding......"
"Daoist Jin'an is the life-saving benefactor of our Jia family, how can it be a demon Dao. ”
The Jia family anxiously explained for Jin An.
But Jin An did it first, and Zong Ren didn't lie, which made their explanation appear to be lacking in confidence, and they could only pale and repeat that they believed in Jin An's character, and it was definitely not an evil demon.
The old Taoist priest was calm, and he went straight to the point: "A few poor masters, there are evil corpses in the Jia family today, my little brother and I are two Taoist priests from the Five Visceral Taoist Temple, we are here today to the Jia family to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and quell the rebellion of the evil corpses of the Jia family, the Jia family can testify for us, and the people near the Five Visceral Taoist Temple can also testify for us this morning." You see, the corpse in my little brother's hand does not look like a normal dead corpse at all, but an evil corpse that does not dissolve. ”
Hearing this, Jin An glanced in the direction of the old Taoist.
The old Taoist priest kept glancing at Jin'an, and Jin'an suddenly understood.
Bang.
He threw the corpse-spotted old man in his hand at the feet of a head catcher.
"Right and wrong, you can tell by looking at the corpse. ”
Jin An's face was calm, he had not done anything wrong, and he was not afraid of crooked shadows.
Not afraid of ghosts and gods.
When those officials saw the corpse of the old man who was thrown at their feet, their scalp was numb and exploded, is this still a human corpse that has just died, it has grown green corpse spots, and it is black and ugly, disgusting, this is a dried corpse that has been left for many years!
The timid Xiang Yong even exclaimed, feeling a chill on his back, and couldn't help but secretly look at his back, as if there was an evil corpse lying on his back.
At this time, the Jia family did not hesitate to offend the Jiang family, but also took the initiative to stand up and speak for Jin An.
When the body of the seventh lady of the Jiang family was dug up from the ancestral grave, there was no room for alleviation in this great feud of digging people's ancestral graves.
They were all bullied to the ancestral grave.
If they are still turtles with shrunken heads, then the Jia family's qi will come to an end.
"That's right, Daoist Jin An and Daoist Chen are both exorcism masters invited by our brothers who made a special trip to the Five Visceral Daoist Temple, these two are the exorcism masters with real skills, exorcism masters!"
"It's your Jiang family, what is the purpose of suddenly visiting my Jia Mansion without invitation today? I think the explosion and chaos in our Jia family tonight is that the three of you deliberately came to our Jia family to make trouble!"
With one person standing up, the remaining brothers of the Jia family also stood up one after another to support Jin An.
"That's right, Daoist Jin An and Daoist Chen were invited by my Jia family, and it is justified that your Jiang family is an outsider!"
"What a Jiang family, you are mixed with the evil cultivators of the rivers and lakes who are not human beings, ghosts and ghosts, and break into my Jia family, I want to ask, what do you Jiang family want to do when you come to our Jia family?"
"Why do you appear in the courtyard where my eldest brother lives, and what about my eldest brother? What about those maids and subordinates in my eldest brother's courtyard? Say! Do you Jiang family want to kidnap my eldest brother, do you want to annex my Jia family's business, my evil heart! Immediately hand over my eldest brother, if my eldest brother is injured to half a hair, you will be worse off than dead!"
"The Jiang family and the evil cultivators of the rivers and lakes are mixed together, I think they want to mess with the foundation stone of the Kangding country and the Chaogang, fortunately, the Jin'an Daoist is strong, and I can see at a glance that the old man is not a person, otherwise I will continue to let the Jiang family and the evil snakes and rats in the rivers and lakes mix together, deceive the people of the world, and I don't know what they are plotting behind their backs! What will they do to damage the stability of the people of our Wuzhou Mansion and the stability of the Kangding Dynasty!"
It is the so-called snake beating seven inches.
If you fight a snake, you won't die, but you will be eaten back.
At this time, the Jiang family should be completely killed, so the brothers of the Jia family joined forces and put a big hat on the Jiang family as soon as they came up, regardless of whether this matter was true or not, it was enough for the Jiang family to drink a pot.
The Jia family now hates the Jiang family to death.
These Jiang family members actually dug up their ancestral graves and buried the dead people of the Jiang family in their mother's coffin, which is no different from the revenge of killing their mother.
How can Zongren's mouth be justified by the Jia family's opening of so many mouths.
His face turned pale, and he explained with surprise and anger: "Our eighth miss is out of kindness and knows that the Jia family has recently made evil incidents, so we will invite the exorcist master to come to the Jia family to exorcise demons." ”
"Saying that Miss Eighth Master is an evil cultivator, that's just your one-sided words, even if he is really an evil cultivator, we don't know in advance, you are framing and spreading rumors about the Jiang family, and the Jiang family will not let you go!"
"A few officials, you should immediately arrest the two Five Visceral Taoist monks who took the lead in hurting people, and I and Miss Eight are the victims. ”
The young man Zongren was miserable, and he tried to disguise his innocent expression, hoping to win sympathy.
"The old man of the Jia family is still alive, he was poisoned by the corpse, and he has been sleeping unconsciously, and now he is in the attic, we are here to save the old man Jia, your Jia family should thank us for protecting the old man Jia, otherwise the old man Jia would have died in Huangquan a long time ago. ”
"Because we found that Jia Zhidie's corpse hidden in Jia's mansion wanted to harm Master Jia, we specially came to protect Master Jia's safety and prevent Jia Zhidie's corpse from hurting people after death. ”
Zongren desperately explained.
desperately cleared the suspicion of him and the Jiang family.
Now it is no longer a simple homicide case, but it involves the struggle of interests of the two major families in Fucheng, and these little servants in front of them have no power to control the two families.
They didn't dare to arrest the young man Zongren and the eighth lady of the Jiang family, for fear of offending the behemoth Jiang family.
didn't dare to arrest Jin An, now the whole Jia family is speaking for Jin An, and it is clear that they want to work against the Jiang family.
On the contrary, as they were in a dilemma, after hearing the movement, more and more people gathered around, and these officials sweated like rain on their foreheads.
Fortunately, the savior arrived in time.
At night, there was a deafening sound of neat footsteps, as well as the sonorous clash of swords, guns and armor, and a large number of soldiers in the barracks outside the city, well-trained entering the city to calm the chaos.
The person who took the lead, Jin An couldn't be more familiar.
It's the Captain General.
By this time, the lieutenant's injuries had healed.
Today, he is not wearing the green python robe, but a more solemn and majestic thunder-patterned black robe, and his hair is tied up with the most common wooden hairpin.
This army, under the leadership of this general commander, is like the irresistible luck of the imperial court with the torrent of the great momentum, suppressing those ghosts who are hiding in the shadows, and they dare not act rashly.
The lieutenant came on a tall horse.
After he came to Jiafu, he quickly learned what had happened.
"What are you doing, stand still honestly. ”
Suddenly, there were soldiers shouting loudly.
It turned out to be Jin An, who was in the encirclement, moving in his footsteps, standing on a high ground on the ruins of the ruins.
Jin An replied calmly: "I don't like to be viewed from a bird's eye by people. ”
"The location is just right now. ”
Jin An, who stood on the top of the ruins, happened to be at eye level with the captain riding on the horse.
This is the first official meeting between Jin An and the lieutenant who controls the military power of Fucheng.
"Bold!"
"Presumptuous!"
The iron cavalry guards who were guarding around the captain thought that they had touched the thorn head, and they shouted loudly, and they were about to step forward to subdue Jin An.
Du Wei raised his hand and stopped his brothers from facing Jin An'an.
"You are no match for him, this young Taoist leader really wants to escape, and no one in the audience can keep him. ”
After Du Wei finished speaking, he looked at Jin An with a smile: "Haha, you are an interesting little Taoist, different from the old-fashioned, unsmiling, and boring Taoist priests I encounter every day, so let's do it, in order to show my heart, I will reward you with a 'prison disaster'." ”
"Come on, take the two Taoist priests of the Five Organs Taoist Temple, as well as the two people of the Jiang family, all of them away and put them in prison, and then take the old man's body with them. ”
The young man Zongren opened his mouth to speak, wanting to move out of the identity of the eighth lady of the Jiang family, and wanted to say something to delay the time and wait for the Jiang family to rescue, but before he could speak, General Duwei looked at him decisively, and glanced at him without emotion: "What, you want to disobey me?"
"Or do you want to move out of the Jiang family's identity and let me cast a bogey?"
This lieutenant general was still talking and laughing at Jin An just now.
turned his head into an iron-faced and ruthless killing god in the army.
Zongren was so frightened that he didn't dare to look directly at Du Wei's eyes, and replied stubbornly: "Little no, don't dare, I just want to remind Du Wei of one thing, this Jia family is making evil ......"
"The water god Niang Jia Zhidie hasn't been eliminated yet, and I'm worried that the soldiers in the army will suffer a dark loss, so I want to remind the lieutenant that ......"
Even if Zong Ren lowered his head, he could still feel the tingling sensation in his back.
The Lieutenant's eyes were like blades, and he kept staring at him.
After a few breaths, Zong Ren felt the thorns on his body disappear, and Du Wei's eyes were removed from him, and he no longer paid attention to him.
Zongren secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was only at this time that Du Wei's bland words came: "Water God Niangniang, I have long wanted to see what this dragon king looks like." ”
"I don't know if I caught one of the dragon king's water god Niangniang, whether the dragon king will take the initiative to show up tonight, just to save the Xia Yin Yi River to find him. ”
Hearing this, Zongren's body shook slightly.
Eyes uneasy.
......
......
Fucheng Prison.
The air was filled with the smell of decay, from damp and musty, to the sour smell of rotten leaves and rotten straw mats, and the rotting smell of dead rats.
There is also the turbidity and foulness caused by the lack of air circulation all year round.
The dim torches, which were really limited, added a sense of darkness to the long corridors of the underground prison.
Jin An has always wanted to complain.
Couldn't the ancients have made the prison magnificent?
There is sunshine in people's hearts.
In order to yearn for the sunshine more.
You let criminals live in a dark and depressing environment all day long, and people think about negative emotions all day long, and if they are not sick, they will also hold back mental illness, which properly increases the probability of a second crime after being released from prison.
This is still a loss to the concept of no mental illness in this era.
At this time, Jin An was locked up in the same cell as the old Taoist.
"Old Dao, aren't you nervous at all?"
In the cell, the old Taoist priest who was pulling haystacks to catch cockroaches looked up at Jin An: "What are you nervous about?"
While meditating calmly and recovering his strength as soon as possible, Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest and said: "I am now burdened with the crime of murder, and you are also considered a half-accomplice to the old Taoist, even if you don't go to the vegetable market and lose your head, you will be assigned to the frontier and exiled." ”
"I heard that there is no water on the frontier, and there is no food to eat, except for the long yellow sand, there are only dried corpses under the desert. ”
"Hah, I've finally caught one. ”
The old Taoist priest did not answer Jin An's words immediately, but took off his shoes, took off his sock bag, and threw the cockroach into the sock bag, and then the old god answered Jin An's question.
"If you want to cut off your head at the entrance of the vegetable market, that's also the little brother, you cut off your head before the old way, little brother, you are not in a hurry, what am I in a hurry for. ”
"Anyway, I have lived half a year longer than your little brother, I have seen flowers and plants, soy sauce, rice, oil and salt, mountains and seas in this life, I have earned decades more than your little brother, and I will not lose money in this life. ”
The old Taoist priest said leisurely, he saw it very openly.
He put himself back on his shoes.
He still carried his white sock bag in his hand.
Smoked so much that Jin An moved his buttocks, sat at the door of the cell with the most air circulation, and gasped for air.
"Speaking of cutting off heads, I think of a folk rumor......"
Jin An is indeed as the old Taoist priest said, with a calm look on his face, after killing someone and being imprisoned by the government, he still has the leisure to tell the story to the old Taoist.
"This folk tale tells that in the past, there was a prisoner who made a big mistake and was dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded. He didn't want to die, so someone told him that when he asked for a cut at the entrance of the vegetable market, the moment he felt a pain in the skin of his neck, he immediately rolled to the side, as long as the speed was fast enough, he could be faster than the knife in the executioner's hand, and he could escape the catastrophe and deceive God once. Then don't look back and run forward, keep running out of the city to find a name that kills a foreigner, incognito, and live the rest of his yang life for him, so that he can avoid death, this is called deceiving the world and stealing his name, hiding from the world. ”
"Because the longevity of Yang is not over, the people who died tragically still have Yang Shou in the life and death book in the hands of the judge. ”
Sure enough, on the day of the beheading, the prisoner survived after doing so, he hid incognito in the countryside where no one knew him, and used other people's names and Yangshou, not only married a wife, but also gave birth to a pair of children. ”
"Old man, you say, if we are really dragged to the vegetable market and beheaded, which of us will be faster than the knife in the executioner's hand at that time?"
At this time, the old Taoist priest who had put on his cloth shoes again, after listening to Jin An's story, was not moved at all: "Then little brother, have you ever heard of 'Autumn Queen Asking and Chopping' and 'Autumn Queen Reckoning'?"
"When the government pronounces your guilt, it will stamp the imperial seal on your guilty paper, which is like a tattoo on a prisoner's forehead, which cannot be erased for a lifetime. Autumn is the heaviest season of the four seasons of the year, the day time after autumn is getting shorter and shorter, and the shadow of people is getting shorter and shorter. ”
Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest in surprise.
It turns out that the autumn queen asks and beheads, and the autumn settles accounts, and there is this kind of allusion.
"But I don't think we can die. The old Taoist priest said confidently.
"The Jia family has now broken the net with the Jiang family, how do we say it this time, it is also for the Jia family, so as to offend the Jiang family, whether the Jia family is public or private, they will try their best to ensure that we get out. ”
"It depends on whether the mediation skills of the Jia family and the Jiang family are strong. ”
"So in order to increase the probability of our life, Lao Dao, before I was taken away by the officers and soldiers, I quietly asked the Jia family to go to He Mansion to find the eldest lady, and as soon as the eldest lady heard that the little brother was imprisoned in the Fucheng prison, the eldest lady would definitely save the little brother you. ”
"This Jiang family is now hand-eyed, and in the face of the joint pressure of the He family and the Jia family among the three major medicinal herb merchants in Fucheng, his Jiang family also has to weigh the gains and losses of the fish and the net. Besides, this time the Jiang family itself also has a place to lose, they are in the same stream with the evil demons of the three sects and nine streams, this matter can be big or small, at the big one can lose the head, and at the small one is a small crime of not knowing and being deceived, and it will be punished inconsequentially. ”
"Besides, the Xue family also has an old friend of ours, Li Huwei, how can Li Huwei say it now, he is also the head of the Xue family's guards, Li Huwei should be able to say a few words in the Xue family... Ha, two more self-contained nets. ”
The old Taoist priest grabbed two cockroaches again this time, smiled with joy, and quickly put them in his stocking pocket, and now he has caught a total of three cockroaches.
"So, little brother, you're not in a hurry, why am I in a hurry?"
The old Taoist priest winked at Jin An.
The two foxes, one old and one young, looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and they both guessed each other's thoughts.
