Chapter 49: Reluctance

Feng Zhutou saw Jin An and the old Taoist priest.

Straight to the point to explain the meaning:

Zheng Zhutou has been transferred to Wenwu Temple by Zhang County's order to do protective work!

The time has come to investigate the cause of Li Dashan's death!

The old Taoist priest asked Feng Zhutou to wait for him, and he went into the house to get the foodie guy, and then he came out again.

Jin An saw that the old Taoist priest was so grinding, so he asked the old Taoist priest what kind of food he had brought.

The old Taoist priest smiled, patted his treasure gently, and then said like a few treasures: "Palm Bagua Mirror, Soul Bell, Bundle Rope, Evil Charm Talisman, Ancestral Yin and Yang Compass, Seal of Lord Yama." โ€

"And some cinnabar, millipen ink line, glutinous rice, antidote pills, etc. โ€

"And incense, candles, paper money, and a handful of dead people's meals. โ€

Jin An was slightly surprised.

Even Feng Zhutou looked surprised, looking at the Tai Chi Bagua Blanket that the old Taoist priest was carrying on his shoulder.

"Daochang Chen's seemingly small Tai Chi gossip is really a treasure bag. โ€

Feng Zhutou said in surprise.

The old Taoist priest smiled, people are almost fluttering, the more people reach middle age, the more they can't do it, the more they like others to give a thumbs up, and praise: "You are awesome!

After Feng Zhutou finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chen Daochang carries with him things to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, but it is easy to understand." โ€

"But why do you carry an antidote pill with you?" and a handful of dead man's rice?"

"What's dead man's food?"

The three of them talked as they walked along the way in the dark.

By this time, the streets were becoming scarce.

The old Taoist priest's face was unfathomable, like the mysterious and secret face of the gods and lakes of the rivers and lakes, and Feng Zhutou, who ranked first in the force ranking among the three major catchers in Chang County, was stunned for a moment, and he completely believed the words of the old Taoist.

The old Taoist priest said proudly: "I am a Taoist priest of Youfang, and occasionally I will encounter some techniques of moving graves, opening coffins, and entering deep mountains and rivers to fix the yin house. And these places are often the most likely to encounter poisonous miasma and corpse gas, so it is necessary to always carry some antidote pills that can pull out the poison and avoid the poisonous miasma. โ€

"Besides, the dead man's rice is not cooked rice for the living. โ€

"Chang County is located in the south, in the gossip, the south is away, the south belongs to the fire of Bingding, guarded by the Vermilion Bird, the Vermilion Bird is the sacred bird of the yang, the cooked rice cooked from the fire, the dead can't eat it. โ€

The old Taoist priest shook his head and said, reached into the blanket hanging on his shoulder, and took out a handful of raw rice.

The grains are crystal clear and full.

The old Taoist priest continued: "And the handful of raw rice in my hand, Lao Dao, is the dead man's rice found from the grave, after the dead man eats it, it is a waste anyway, it is better to cheapen the old Taoist me." Of course, this rice is not for the living. โ€

"The old man's rice is just one of the dead man's rice, and the most important thing is that it is easy to carry. There is also a kind of dead man's rice, which is upside-down rice. โ€

"There are often old people who seriously reprimand ignorant children, don't eat the bowl, this is called yin and yang upside down. This is similar to the saying that bending down to look behind you from the crotch of your pants in the middle of the night, maybe there will be more double feet, both from the meaning of yin and yang reversed. โ€

"This dead man's meal is mainly used to discuss with the dead man, hoping to take the initiative to leave the Yang Mansion. โ€

......

"โ€”โ€” Tsuk"

"โ€”โ€” Tsuk"

"At one or two o'clock, the weather is dry, be careful of the candle. โ€

"Bellโ€”"

The three of them walked in Chang County, which was already completely dark, and the sound of the husband and wife sounded, and it turned out that it was time for the curfew at three o'clock in the first and third shifts.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Why is the curfew still walking the streets?"

As soon as they passed a corner, they saw three people walking down the street at the end of the dark corner, and immediately shouted nervously.

After the three of them approached, the two husbands saw clearly that the person who was walking in the forefront was not Feng Zhutou, one of the three majestic headhunters in Chang County.

After a closer look, they also saw the son of Jin'an, who is now famous in Chang County.

"It turned out to be Feng Zhutou. โ€

"Feng Zhutou is so late, but are you still investigating the case?"

The two guards asked cautiously.

Feng Zhutou casually explained a few sentences, and the two husbands hurriedly gave way and let Feng Zhutou and his party pass.

The Chang County Prison is not far from the Yamen.

As I got closer to the prison, the number of night patrols I encountered along the way began to become more and more frequent.

Perhaps because the temple fair is coming, Chang County has been mixed recently, so the security at night has also been tightened a lot.

......

With Feng Zhutou leading the way, the group went unimpeded and went down to the prison where the environment was dark and damp, and torches were burning on both sides of the aisle.

At such a night, there are still people in prison, and the movement is naturally not small.

Immediately in the cells on both sides of the aisle, prisoners in prison uniforms stretched out their arms, crying and begging to let them out, crying out in horror that there was something unclean in the cell!

These prisoners were unkempt, in a trance, and their faces were ugly with blood and qi, and at first glance they were mentally frightened for a long time, they had not slept well, and there was something wrong with their sanity.

"Whatever you are arguing about, whatever you are arguing about, give me an honest attitude. โ€

"Didn't you see our Lord Feng Zhutou, did you specially invite a Dao Master today, Feng Zhutou and this Dao Master made a special trip to exorcise evil spirits for you. โ€

There were jailers who were busy patting their ass, scrambling to snatch their performance in front of Feng Zhutou, and smashed the arms stretched out of the cell with a waist knife with a scabbard.

"Feng Zhutou, our brothers are really wronged, Li Dashan's death, we really don't know, and it is not Li Dashan who we killed, please Feng Zhutou help us plead with Zhang Xianling, my Sun Fu is really wronged!"

"Feng Zhutou, we are wronged!"

When I walked to one of the cells, the people in that cell were not like the other prisoners, shouting that the prison was evil and that they wanted to change places... Instead, shouting that he was wronged?

Jin An and the old Taoist priest couldn't help but look at the cell a few more times.

Feng Zhutou, who was leading the way in front, seemed to see the doubts and curiosity of the two, and explained: "These people are the group of jailers who were on duty in the cell on the day Li Dashan died in a strange and violent manner. โ€

"Li Dashan's death, Zhang Xianling was furious, and he is still angry until now, although there is no direct evidence to prove that they also participated in the killing of Li Dashan, but without Zhang County's personal edict, no one dares to let these people go, so they have been locked up until now. โ€

In the prison, which was full of foul odor and the air did not smell good at all, the group soon came to the deepest part of the prison, the cell where Li Dashan died violently.

"This Li Dashan has been dead for so many days, so what about his current corpse?"

When he arrived at the door of the cell, the old Taoist priest suddenly asked.

Feng Zhutou was stunned for a moment, but he still replied quickly: "Because the weather is gradually warming, the body is not easy to store, when Zheng Zhutou said that he had solved the case and eliminated all Li Dashan's accomplices, Li Dashan's body had been burned." โ€

"Burned?"

"Daoist Chen, has you made any discoveries?" Feng Zhutou's face became solemn.
