"We were all wrong!"

Liansheng was very frustrated at the moment, she had to admit that she had made a mistake! Since the first investigation, she has never made such a mistake.

Now that Xia Banxian is dead, the corpse should be Xia Banxian's. The corpse had traces of labor, traces of carrying a burden on his shoulders, and that was because Xia Banxian used to be a farmer and a vegetable seller, picking vegetables to the city to sell. He lived peacefully in the countryside for many days, until one day he was tired of the hard work in the countryside and decided to go into the city, and finally lost himself in the prosperity and lost his life.

"What do you mean, that headless corpse is Xia Banxian?" Leng Nan asked.

"We started in the wrong direction. We don't know Xia Banxian, thinking that he is a scholar, but in fact, he used to be a farmer, working hard every day, and it is entirely possible to leave so many traces of physical labor. ”

Leng Nan sighed: "There is really no way to do this, who would have thought that a fortune teller used to be a working farmer?" You can't blame adults for thinking wrongly. ”

When he said this, he looked at the official of the east platform, and the official also nodded and said, "This matter is indeed very few people in this county. ”

Lian Sheng asked the official from Dongtai: "Do you know how long Xia Banxian has been in Baoying?" ”

"It's been three or four years, this old boy didn't open his eyes, and he couldn't eat, and I also saw him change his clothes and pour night incense, I didn't expect it to be so popular later, and he made a lot of money, which is unreasonable."

"That's what you're not right, since you've known him for a long time, you know that he's an ordinary farmer. Why didn't you tell us sooner? ”

Another official muttered dissatisfiedly: "Tell us earlier, my mother won't give that one or two pieces of silver for nothing!" That guy is really black-hearted, just give me a marriage and receive a tael of silver! ”

"Well, the whole city was crazy to believe him, how dare I speak. I'm afraid that if I say it, those old ladies will be able to spray me to death, those mothers-in-law, do you dare to provoke? ”

Were Li Bantou and Kong Xiaoliu killed indiscriminately or were they chosen?

Lian Sheng frowned and looked at the other two corpses on the ground: "How do they usually have a relationship with you?" ”

The Dongtai official hurriedly said, "Do the adults suspect the little ones? The little ones don't dare to kill, Li Tou is handsome, we are usually afraid of him. It's respectful and fearful. Where dare to harm his heart? Kong Xiaoliu is the nephew of our county master, and he doesn't talk much with us who have no foundation on weekdays, and the little ones didn't expect that he was the one who encouraged Li Tou to take the little ones out of the valley just now. ”

It seems that this Dongtai official is quite organized. He finished speaking. The other two officials also said that it was indeed Kong Xiaoliu who was tinkering with it.

Liansheng nodded: "Listen to your tone." You still have some opinions about this hole Xiaoliu's back. Right. ”

"The adults are wronged, the little ones are just envious of the fact that there are people in the court who are good officials." The official looked at the remaining two, and the two of them nodded busily: "Yes." Oh, yes. Ah, no, no, adults, the little ones didn't say adults, this and this ......"

Seeing that the three officials were incoherent, Lian Sheng couldn't ask anything at the moment, so he could only continue to turn to Leng Nan: "Leng Yanzuo, you can check Li Bantou and Kong Xiaoliu again." ”

Leng Nan smiled bitterly: "The adult also said that his neck was cut off by a knife, and the same is true for the small one." This valley is so evil, no wonder the people of the family village don't even come in, is it really that there is no return? ”

"Yes, yes, my lord, since Xia Banxian is not here, let's go out early, why bother going around here." The officials of Dongtai followed and persuaded him.

"It's already late at night, we walked out of the valley, and then to Lianjiazhuang, the terrain on this road is not familiar, aren't you afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos and continue to have accidents?" Liansheng sneered.

"Let's do it, let's all rest together in this place, and when the morning comes out of the valley, everyone is in one place, and that person has no way to start." Yu Shizhao pointed to the grass in front of him.

The Jinyi guards are naturally the only ones who look at the horse, and the three officials know that they and others can't come hard, so they all droop their heads and keep silent. Leng Nan said: "There are three corpses here, let's leave a little farther." The three officials were already afraid, but when they heard Leng Nan say this, they all said: "Yes, adults, the small ones are not as wise and martial as the adults, and the small ones are really afraid of the dead." ”

Now there are eleven people left, five Jinyi guards, and three officials plus Liansheng, Yu Shizhao and Leng Nan.

Since it was determined that it was not Xia Banxian who entered the valley, everyone didn't have to search, and continued to walk forward for a while, finding a flat stone ground to sit down. Because I was afraid of the tick, I didn't dare to rest on the grass.

The brocade guards gathered dry wood and gathered the fire, and the firelight jumped, reflecting the human face, which was dim and difficult to distinguish. Liansheng looked at Leng Nan, this was a handsome young man, with a tall nose bridge and thin lips pursed slightly, he lowered his head, and his whole person was in the shadows. Liansheng thought about the scene when he saw him for the first time, could such a white and pure young man be the murderer of three people? Oh, maybe it's two people, after all, Kong Ren's death can't be determined to be man-made at this point.

Yu Shizhao took off his coat, covered Liansheng and said, "You sleep, I'll keep it." ”

Lian Sheng grabbed the clothes and wanted to return them to him, Yu Shizhao whispered: "In front of my subordinates, can you give me some face?" ”

"Then you, aren't you cold?"

"It's summer soon, it's not cold. Wrap it tightly, that worm is scary enough. ”

"I thought it was strange, the tick had never flare-up so quickly, how could it be."

"The world is so big, there is nothing. You can see a few examples of this. ”

Liansheng wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Yu Shizhao didn't know that in that Internet era, you could search for the information you wanted with your fingers, and a tick bite would only have a toxin attack a few days later, and the person who died immediately and quietly had never seen the report, such a small probability would really be encountered by Kong Ren? Or were ticks in ancient times more ferocious than in modern times? The answer, of course, is no.

In ancient times, there were no pesticides, and bugs did not have the opportunity to form resistance and evolve mutations. Liansheng in modern times, when he was a child, he rarely heard who was bitten to death by a tick, but after work, especially in the first few years of travel, there was more news of ticks biting people, a small aunt, was bitten to death by a tick, it was through that year, when Liansheng also thought that this insect was getting more and more powerful, this is gradually evolving in the struggle with humans.

Thinking about the past, there was a fire shaking in front of him, and Lian Sheng leaned on Yu Shizhao to fall asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly I heard a faint singing, which seemed to come from the ground, and there was a buzzing echo.

Liansheng opened his eyes, Yu Shizhao had already stood up, looking into the distance, the sky was not yet dawn, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the bonfire, which was originally burning well, was suddenly blown to the ground, and then a ball of sparks burst out and splashed away. The people sitting around hurriedly dodged, Lian Sheng slept in a daze and was not completely awake, he was hugged by Yu Shizhao by the waist, and a rise and fall was already a foot away.

"What's going on?"

The sound became louder and louder, like a song, and like a roar from the ground, buzzing, stimulating people's eardrums, and the earth, valleys, and trees resonated and echoed, impacting people's hearts, Liansheng felt that the blood all over his body seemed to be rushing to the heart, extremely uncomfortable and depressed, Yu Shizhao hurriedly covered her ears and said, "Don't listen, this voice is very evil." ”

At this time, the Dongtai official suddenly shouted, danced with his hands, and then rushed to the bonfire.

A brocade guard hurriedly shouted, "Don't go over." Saying that, he stretched out his hand to pull him, and the official was crazy, leaned down, and bit the hand of the brocade guard, who thought that he would speak, and hurriedly let go, and at that moment, the Dongtai official had already thrown himself into the fire. I saw that he had just approached the bonfire, and there were flames all over his body, and the flames quickly spread on him, the fire flashed, and with a bang, there was an explosion on the person's body, and the stump splashed away, Yu Shizhao hurriedly pressed Liansheng in his arms: "Don't look, don't look." ”

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

The voice continued to ring, gradually becoming sharper, like the long whistle of a man.

The bitten Jinyi Wei was annoyed and ashamed, pulled out his sword and waved: "Who is it, come out!" Come out! (To be continued......)

PS: My aunt with a small hair went up to the mountains to pick bracken last spring, and was bitten by a tick at some point, and the high fever did not go away after a few days, and she was sent to the hospital and was not rescued. Once bitten by a tick, don't be afraid, you can press the cigarette butt on the insect, the insect will crawl out for fear of being hot, or go to the hospital to find a doctor to help get it out, and then treat, remember to pull hard, the tick body is broken and the head can still make tunnels in the human body.

How did this Dongtai official die? Was it really an accident?
