Chapter 337: Fox Tail

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed to Xu County and found that it was a mess, and many people from the rivers and lakes gathered.

The two hurried to the county yamen and saw a large number of officials preparing. Lord Bao stood at the door with a calm face, his expression was more serious than usual, many people were watching, gossiping, roughly meaning to ask Lord Bao not to tolerate those arrogant Jianghu people, and many villagers with hoes and sickles, saying that they were willing to fight with those Jianghu people.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other and ran to Bao Zheng's side, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Master Bao sighed and said, "Earlier, the county commander of Xu County sent officials to arrest Xiao Changqing, who would have thought that his subordinates were armed to resist arrest and injured several officials, it was simply lawless!" ”

"What about Xiao Changqing?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Still hiding in the inn." Mr. Bao was dissatisfied.

"I'll get him." Zhan Zhao is going to take people away.

Master Bao stopped him, "Alas, don't go to the Zhan guards, I'll look for the official ......"

Zhan Zhao waved his hand, "My lord, those are Jianghu people, and the officials can't beat them at all, so why bother to let them get injured in vain, I'll do it." ”

"You and Xiao Changqing have already had a holiday, and the government is afraid that the people in the rivers and lakes will say that you have a personal vendetta." Lord Bao is worried.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Let them say go, I have recognized it as the Demon Palace, and I have taken it after the demons, are you still afraid of what people will say, what do you like!" If Xiao Changqing really killed someone, it would be simply lawless, and he would be arrested to seek justice for those villagers who died in vain! As he spoke, he glanced inside the door. I saw a little girl who was obviously frightened and hid in the arms of a village woman.

Master Bao sighed, "She is the child whose parents were killed......"

Zhan Zhao was even more angry, and turned around and left with the servant.

Master Bao hurriedly said to Bai Yutang, "Bai Shaoxia......"

Bai Yutang nodded, signaling Bao Zheng not to worry, he would look at Zhan Zhao, besides, Zhan Zhao is an official errand, and it is natural for an official to catch a murderer! So I also followed Zhan.

Seeing that Zhanzhao was gone, the onlookers also followed, and Master Bao was afraid that something would happen in a while, so he stomped his feet and asked the officer, "Is it just such a person?" What about the others? ”

As he was talking, he saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and saw Zou Liang arrive with hundreds of cavalry, "My lord." ”

"Alas!" Master Bao was overjoyed, "The general came in time!" ”

Zou Liang smiled, and behind him, Lin Yehuo stood on the saddle of a horse, and said to Master Bao, "Taishi said that Xiao Changqing will definitely resist arrest, so let the dumb man come to the rescue with men and horses, and Zhao Pu's army is behind." ”

"Good!" Master Bao nodded, "Let me control the situation, don't cause casualties, and don't let the Zhan guards do it." ”

Lin Yehuo blinked, "Zhanzhao went?" ”

Lord Bao nodded.

"Hey, there's a good show." Lin Yehuo flashed, the red shadow flickered, and went in the direction of the inn.

Zou Liang shook his head and followed with his men.

Behind Zou Liang's team, Zhuge Lu Yi and the blue fox arrived.

The two rushed to the inn with Bao Zheng, and asked about the incident along the way as they walked.

Zhuge Lu Yi frowned, "Xiao Changqing actually resisted arrest?" ”

Master Bao nodded and asked the accompanying catcher, "What did he say?" ”

"He didn't say that we colluded with Yin Hou to frame him, and he also said that he stayed at the inn last night and didn't go out at all!" , it was Yin Hou who wronged him. ”

The blue fox was not happy, and raised his eyebrows, "That old man is in the water?" Waiting all day long, our palace master is enough to let them. Who wronged him, it was seen by so many villagers, and the whole village wronged him! ”

Master Bao was also helpless, "What the hell is going on with this Xiao Changqing, he hates Yin Hou as if he is sick." ”

The catcher quickly continued, "He said that the only one who could put bloody clothes in his room without knowing it was Yin Hou, and he also said that Yin Hou could control people's hearts with soul magic, otherwise the senior sister would not have died to him back then, and he killed him before he realized that Lu Daoxin was the wrong person." ”

The blue fox sneered, "Xiao Changqing's house, all her life, has been saying that Ye Yu fell in love with the palace master because she was in the spirit technique, and she refused to admit that her junior sister was infatuated with the palace master because he was more attractive than them." After so many years, he is about to go crazy, but he refuses to face the reality, his mind is not right, and no matter how miserable the end is, he will ask for it! ”

Master Bao sighed, the so-called inner demon is like this, and people can't be freed.

"That's right." Master Bao was curious, "What does spiritualism mean?" Is it similar to witchcraft? ”

Zhuge Lu Yi shook his head and explained, "It's actually a kind of internal strength. But it's not as magical as the legend suggests...... It's like saying that a master of the level of the palace master or Tianzun wants to ask someone with lower martial arts a secret, and the other party refuses to say it. Then use internal force to suppress him and make him lose his will, and he will obediently tell the secret. But it is impossible to hallucinate others or force them to do bad things through spiritualism, and the only way to do that should be through drugs is to do that. ”

Master Bao nodded, "Xiao Changqing is probably also bewitched by drugs, and he seems to have no memory of his actions at all." ”

"This is very different from the state of Fanqionghua or camellia poisoning that they said before!" Zhuge Lu Yi pays more attention to details, "Although everyone unconsciously entered the dream before, they still remember clearly what happened when they dreamed and what they did, and their behavior seemed to be induced through dreams." If Xiao Changqing killed someone because of a dream, what kind of dream did he have? In addition, he should know what to expect. Based on my understanding of Xiao Changqing, in addition to being a little paranoid about the palace master, he is still an old-fashioned and decent person. If you really feel like you've killed someone, you shouldn't resist arrest. ”

……

At this time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had already rushed to the inn first.

At the entrance of the inn, it is more lively than the entrance of the yamen.

I saw hundreds of villagers and a large group of onlookers from Xu County, surrounding the front of the inn, and Xiao Changqing's men guarded the inn and did not let people in.

The shouts of those villagers asking Xiao Changqing to come out to pay for his life were shocking, and it can be seen that they were extremely angry.

Contrary to Zhanzhao's expectations, none of the Jianghu people from other sects came out. Also, if Xiao Changqing really killed innocent civilians, he would definitely be despised by the decency of the rivers and lakes, and he would be unjust.

At the same time, Zhanzhao was also a little disappointed, how could the so-called decentness of the rivers and lakes ever preside over justice? They knew that Xiao Changqing was killing, but they turned a blind eye, let things develop, stay out of the matter and watch the show, and when they wanted to find the Demon Palace or Yin Hou, they attacked it in groups, they didn't know what to do!

Zhan Zhao saw the chaos and was about to separate the crowd and go in, but saw a large number of people coming in the distance. And they all came on horseback, dusty and vigorous, and there were quite a few people to watch.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought at first that it was someone from Zhao Pu's barracks who had come to maintain order, but after a closer look, it was not-they were all from the rivers and lakes, and they were dressed in similar styles to Xiao Changqing's subordinates, except for the different colors.

"Big Island Lord, they're coming!" Xiao Changqing's subordinates immediately cheered.

Those ordinary villagers were also a little stunned when they saw the fierce and large number of horse teams killed, and subconsciously retreated slightly to both sides.

Zhan Zhao was just right, and asked the officials to persuade the villagers to step aside, and the government would solve it.

As soon as the villagers saw that the officers and soldiers were coming, they also obediently got out of the way and retreated to the side to watch...... Emotionally, the residents of the city basically help the villagers.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang finally walked to the door of the inn, and the oncoming horse team also arrived at the front of the inn, led by three old men, who ran to the front with long gray hair and a burly figure.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang probably made a visual inspection, this should be the eldest of the four island lords in the West Sea, their senior brother, the sea lord of the Shen Xing Sea, Shen Xingyue.

Shen Xingyue is known to the world for his short temper, he came to the front and saw that Zhanzhao was in the middle of the road in front of the inn, and he was not wearing an official mansion, Shen Xingyue thought that he was just watching the excitement, so he raised his hand and whipped it over, and shouted in his mouth, "Get out of the way!" ”

Zhan Zhao watched him whip over, and said in his heart Shen Xingyue, you can do it enough, you can smoke it indiscriminately, and there is really no royal law.

Zhan Zhao raised his hand and grabbed the whip, pulled it, sank down, tripped him and pulled it again.

The horse neighed "snooze", his legs went limp, and a horse stumbled.

It was also Zhan Zhao who was more merciful, and did not tear off the horse's leg, but only let it stumble and let go.

However, Shen Xingyue couldn't sit still, so she rolled off the horse, jumped off the horse, and landed in front of the inn, and the two old men behind her hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse. This stop came suddenly, and the horse team behind did not have time to stop, so the people hit the horses and horses, fell to the ground, and were embarrassed.

The people around couldn't help but be happy. The people of Xu County naturally know Zhanzhao, the little cat master of Hongying Village!

The people of Xu County also know the relationship between the Red Cherry Village and the Demon Palace only after listening to the rivers and lakes. Where do ordinary people know what the Demon Palace is, and what is the matter with the big devil a hundred years ago. They only know that Yin Lanci, the owner of the Red Cherry Village in Ludao, is a good person, and they can go to the Red Cherry Village for help if they have any difficulties. Yin Lanci's husband Zhan Tianxing is an outsider, he is kind and generous, he often helps the poor, and donates money and helps in any major disasters. Their son Zhanzhao is even better, Nanxia Ke is famous, and he is pleasant. As for why these Jianghu people came to trouble their whole family, ordinary people only thought that Jianghu people were looking for fault......

That day, Pang Yu and Bao Yan were drinking tea in a tea shop in Xu County, and they heard a doll ask their mother, "Mother, why are they bothering Hongying Village?" ”

The chubby aunt said to her son seriously, "Jianghu people seem to be divided into good and bad people." ”

The little doll nodded, "The red cherry village is a good person, so are these all bad people?" ”

The fat aunt nodded, "That's right! ”

The riot downstairs attracted many people to open their windows to watch.

These Jianghu people all live nearby, although they didn't come forward, they also paid close attention to the changes in the situation here, and as soon as they saw Shen Xingyue and they had just arrived at the opposite side of Zhanzhao, they knew that there was a good show to watch.

Shen Xingyue stood firm, looked at Zhanzhao in front of him, and saw that he was young but very good at kung fu, and he was also a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" ”

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, didn't sign up, and directly gave him a sentence, "Yin Hou's grandson." ”

Bai Yutang supported his forehead in the back, and the cat clearly came to stir up trouble, for fear that people would not know that he was the grandson of the enemy.

Sure enough, the faces of Shen Xingyue and the others changed.

Behind Shen Xingyue, Liu Lichuan, the sea lord of Lechuan Sea, walked up, "Yin Hou should only have one grandson, you are Zhanzhao?" ”

Zhan Zhao sneered, "My grandfather has a long life, and there are hundreds of them in the Demon Palace, and they all call him grandpa, but I am indeed Zhan Zhao, you are lucky, and your heart is not blind." ”

Behind him, Bai Yutang was laughing - what a cat! The teeth are all out, and the claws are flashed when they meet.

"Zhanzhao, you are a junior in the rivers and lakes, why are you so rude?" The youngest of the four island lords of the West Sea, Brahma Island Lord Meng Brahma was very dissatisfied with Zhanzhao's attitude.

Zhan Zhao's original words went back, "You are the predecessors of the rivers and lakes, and you are called the supreme martial arts in vain, how can you kill innocents indiscriminately?" Xiao Changqing killed innocent people, the crime of two corpses and three lives is unforgivable, and the human and material evidence is complete, so I advise him to go to the yamen to surrender. And then a few of you, the sick are cured, where did you come from, go back to where, and when you are old, you are still jealous, do you want face? ”

The three of them were robbed by Zhan Zhao, and their faces changed color.

At this time, there were a lot of onlookers around, and everyone was talking about it - a handful of old people are jealous? Hey, how old are these old men, and they dare to find fault because of emotional problems? Oh, these old guys are endless!

"Zhanzhao, shut up, you know what to say at a young age!" Shen Xingyue was angry, and said in her heart that this Zhanzhao was worthy of being Yin Hou's grandson, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, which was annoying.

Bai Yutang in the back sighed, this cat has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and it is cute when he fights with others!

Zhan Zhao didn't speak, and the villagers next to him who came to ask Xiao Changqing to pay for his life all shouted, "Tell Xiao Changqing to come out!" And the royal law is gone! ”

"When the whole thing is understood, if my third brother is wrong, I will naturally ......" Shen Xingyue wanted to send everyone away first.

I heard someone say lukewarmly, "You are not an official who hears the case, why do you understand clearly?" ”

Zhan Zhao glanced back, and saw that it was Bai Yutang who spoke.

Shen Xingyue looked behind Zhan Zhao and saw a young man in white, with outstanding appearance, just like Zhan Zhao, he looked extraordinary.

Shen Xingyue frowned, "Who are you?" ”

On the side, a subordinate of Xiao Changqing told Shen Xingyue, "He is Bai Yutang." ”

Shen Xingyue's face sank, "Bai Yutang, your Tianshan Sect should have remained neutral, but you actually favor the evil sect, what is the reason?" ”

Bai Yutang stretched out his hands, "I didn't help the evil sect." ”

Shen Xingyue frowned, "You still say that you are neutral for Zhanzhao?" ”

Bai Yutang was still so slow and reasonable, "I help the decent, and you are the evil sect." ”

"What did you say!" Shen Xingyue became even more angry.

Bai Yutang hugged his arm, "Killing innocent people is the crooked way of the evil sect." As he spoke, he raised his face, "Xiao Changqing, don't be a turtle with a shrunken head, kill people to pay for your life, and come out and confess." ”

As he spoke, he waved to a few villagers on the side.

Those villagers were quite clever, and everyone shouted together, "Xiao Changqing, shrinking turtle!" Xihai Pie! Indiscriminate killing of innocent evil ways! Those who are with them are scum of the rivers and lakes! ”

The people in the surrounding rivers and lakes all felt shameless, and they also complained about Xiao Changqing in their hearts, since they had killed someone, they came out to confess, and no one went to the yamen to make it clear, what did it mean to hide, and they would be embarrassed.

When Zou Liang arrived with his soldiers and horses, he saw this scene. The villagers and the people in the city shouted passionately, how thick Xiao Changqing had to be to endure it.

Lin Yehuo squatted on the roof, holding his chin and sighing, "Oops! That old man's skin is not ordinarily thick! ”

At this time, I saw that as soon as the window on the second floor opened, a black shadow jumped out of the window, and when he came to him, he slapped his palm at Zhanzhao without saying a word.

Zhan Zhao took a step back, and just as he wanted to fight back, he saw a blue figure rushing out from behind him, taking Xiao Changqing's move, and after a few moves, he kicked Xiao Changqing out of the way.

The blue fox carried her skirt and crossed her waist, stood in front of Zhanzhao and pointed to the opposite side, "Xiao Changqing, you shameless, a hundred-year-old person is plotting against a junior in the rivers and lakes, the old lady killed you today, sent you to reunite with your junior sister, and the province will harm the world again!" ”

After speaking, the blue fox pulled her skirt and was about to step forward, but Zhanzhao hurriedly grabbed her.

The blue fox rolled up his arms and sleeves, daring to sneak attack their little palace master of the Demon Palace in front of her, it was too deceitful!

Zhan Zhao calmed the blue fox who was on fire, Zhuge Lu Yi walked up to him and Bai Yutang, frowned and looked at Xiao Changqing, who was helped up by Shen Xingyue, and said, "What's the matter with him?" ”

When everyone looked at it again, they saw Xiao Changqing covered in blood, his eyes were blood-red, his clothes were disheveled, and his two blue and purple eyes looked like crazy.

"Wow!"

The villagers and the people in the city were so shocked that they took a few steps back, and said in their hearts, "This bites people and doesn't bite?"

Several villagers shouted, "It's him, he was the one who killed Lao Niu and his daughter-in-law last night!" ”

Combined with Xiao Changqing's image, everyone feels that this sentence is extremely credible! As far as Xiao Changqing's appearance is concerned, not to mention that he killed two people, some people believe that he killed the whole village.

Shen Xingyue and Liu Lichuan helped Xiao Changqing, "Third brother, what's the matter with you?!" ”

Xiao Changqing was crazy, and when he saw his brothers in a blink of an eye, he smiled strangely, and grabbed Shen Xingyue, "Big brother...... Big brother, I saw my sister! ”

The three of them looked at each other, "What did you say?" ”

"My sister told me! It was Yin Hou who killed her! Xiao Changqing was in a manic mood, "Let's go kill Yin Hou!" Walk! Kill him! ”

At this time, anyone can see that Xiao Changqing is no longer a normal person, but he doesn't understand, he was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly go crazy today?

At this time, I saw a guy covered in blood in the inn crying and running out, "That old man is crazy! He's killed a lot of people, he's crazy! ”

At the same time, several disciples of the Xihai Sect were injured and ran out, "The head is crazy!" He killed several of us. ”

Everyone saw that there were still several corpses of Xihai sect disciples in the inn, no wonder Xiao Changqing was covered in blood.

"Third brother!" Shen Xingyue was anxious, "Who harmed you, third brother!" ”

Zhan Zhao suddenly wanted to laugh, although it was wrong to laugh at this time, but he really felt ridiculous, "Now it seems that your third brother is harming others." ”

Liu Lichuan raised his head, "Zhanzhao, are you the ghosts?" Want my Xihai faction to be ruined? ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, "You're right, your Xihai faction has been ruined, but it's not someone else's fault, I found that you guys won't reflect on yourself except blaming others." If he hadn't resisted arrest just now and obediently went to the yamen for trial, the people in the inn wouldn't have died. A few of you who shielded him, and took the king's life as a child's play, every one of you is guilty! ”

"My third brother was obviously killed,......" Shen Xingyue said, "Who knows if Lu Dao was sent to the Yamen, whether it was sent to the tiger's mouth." ”

Even so, the three island owners of the Xihai faction still refused to hand over Xiao Changqing to the yamen to take to the yamen.

Zhan Zhao was angry and didn't fight anywhere, thinking that at this time, he would simply beat him up, and then tie them all up and drag them away.

The Xihai faction's approach did cause public anger, and seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Xingyue and the others wanted to take Xiao Changqing to go first. But just after preparing to retreat.

Then he saw a large group of people coming from behind.

Leader, Zhao Pu rode the black owl, and behind him sat Gongsun, hugging his waist and looking forward. Seeing Xiao Changqing at a glance, Gongsun said, "This old man is crazy!" ”

Zhao Pu also carried thousands of Zhao family troops behind him, Shen Xingyue and the others saw that there was no way to escape, so they wanted to break through, but in addition to Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang blocking the way, there were also hundreds of cavalry brought by Zou Liang, all bows and crossbows in hand, ready to fight.

Master Bao saw clearly on the side, shook his head, separated the people and walked in, and when he arrived at Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, he said to everyone in the Xihai faction, "Everyone from the Xihai faction, no matter what rules you talk about, hand over Xiao Changqing, and a few of you will also go back to the yamen with the mansion to accompany and investigate the case, whoever dares to resist arrest will be punished for harboring the murderer's crime, and he will be killed!" ”

Shen Xingyue and the others were still in a stalemate, and at this time, they heard someone on the roof talking, "Hey! ”

Everyone raised their faces, and saw Lin Yehuo squatting on the roof, and behind him, there was a man in white, his silver hair moving slightly in the wind, and his expression was solemn.

Lin Yehuo stretched out his finger and pointed at the Tianzun beside him, "Your alliance leader of the White Dao is here, this is okay, right?" ”

The people in the rivers and lakes in other places also stood up and looked up at Tianzun.

Tianzun glanced at the people of the West Sea, "Don't embarrass the people of the rivers and lakes anymore, or do you want to clean up the portal with your own hands?" ”

Shen Xingyue and the others stared at Tianzun with their faces up for a long time, and in the end, they threw away the blade and tied their hands.

Bao Zheng ordered the crazy Xiao Changqing to tie up first, and Zhanzhao pointed to his acupoint.

Gongsun dismounted from behind Zhao Pu, ran over to check Xiao Changqing's pulse, and frowned, "He was poisoned, so hurry up and carry him to the yamen." ”

The shadow guards took Gongsun and Xiao Changqing to the yamen, and Shen Xingyue and the others were taken back to the yamen by the yamen and cooperated with Lord Bao to ask questions.

Waiting for everyone to leave, leaving some of the officials and Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang to check the inn.

Walking into the inn, everyone couldn't help frowning, Xiao Changqing was not crazy, the dead were all fellow disciples of the Xihai faction, and the scene was bloody.

Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "Cat, what do you think?" ”

"Xiao Changqing should have been poisoned to cause such madness." Zhanzhao frowned, "But it's really strange. ”

Later, Lin Yehuo sneaked in, "I also think it's strange, no wonder Shen Xingyue thinks that we hurt him, he is so crazy, it means that the entire Xihai faction has been ruined, and since then he has been purged from the rivers and lakes and decent, and he has been spurned by others...... Isn't this tantamount to helping the Demon Palace? ”

Zhan Zhao frowned, and suddenly ...... He turned around.

Bai Yutang was taken aback by Zhanzhao's actions, "Cat? ”

Zhan Zhao had already rushed to the yamen in a flash, looked at the alley in the distance, and squinted his eyes, "It can be regarded as letting me see the fox's tail!" ”

Bai Yutang was slightly puzzled, "What tail?" ”

Zhan Zhao pointed to the alley in the distance, "I just said that someone was secretly staring at me, cautious but with malicious eyes, I always thought it was an illusion, but just now I clearly saw a person in green clothes fleeing in panic, and it was real!" Not too old! ”

Bai Yutang was about to chase after him, but Zhanzhao grabbed him, "That person is very ghostly, he should have fled, but it doesn't matter, I remember that, although I didn't see his face clearly, but as long as I can meet him again, I will definitely pull him out!"

After speaking, he went back to the inn and continued to investigate the case.

Bai Yutang stood at the door, looking at the alley in the distance, frowningβ€”his eyes were resentful, cautious...... If Zhanzhao's feeling is right, then that person should have followed him all the way from Kaifeng to here, who is it? Does it have anything to do with this case?
