The woman gritted her teeth and looked at the monk, took an embroidery needle, and stabbed it into her finger with all her might. There was a pop, and blood was pouring out.

"You bald donkey, if the blood can't melt together, the old lady will prick her eyes!" She was so stimulated that she went crazy.

The drop of blood swirled in the basin of water, and the red thing of the monk's fingernails fell into the water, followed by precipitation, touched the blood, and fell down.

Song Zhiyao stared at the sidelines, thinking in her heart. "It shouldn't be the monk's, if it is, then it shouldn't be like this."

The county magistrate pulled the woman, bit her ear and whispered. "It's just that there is still a trick, check the girl, and let the girl be ashamed."

The Wang family was in a dilemma, his heart was full of grief and indignation, and his expression was in a trance. "Master, as long as I am fair, with justice, I am not afraid of anything."

Several servants took the woman and the monk to a private room. After a long time, they walked out and shook their heads.

The county magistrate looked at their demeanor and knew that the results could not be tested. "This official can't help it, it rained so hard last night, where can I find someone to commit it?"

The woman's lips twitched, and she frantically tore at her skirt. "It's not enough, my mother is fair, I will die here today."

Hou Qu and Xiong Li grabbed her and pressed her body. "Fortunately, the needle didn't go in, so I quickly put her in the house."

The monk said with a shy look in his eyes while lifting his pants. "Lord Qingtian, the poor monk is innocent, but that woman is really pitiful."

Just as things were at an impasse, there were several strange screams from upstairs. Song Zhiyao hurriedly ran up and saw it. They were all dead.

Their parcels also spread out, and inside were some porcelain, stained with dirt and ash. There were several big hateful words written on the walls with blood.

"Oh no, it's a death!" She shouted. Soon the county commander and Liu Yichen walked up and looked around. "They just died."

Those who were doing it, examining the corpses. "There's arsenic in the wine. Frost. The county magistrate listened to their words and smiled. Arrest the shopkeeper as well. ”

Several officials pressed the shopkeeper and put heavy wooden shackles on him. "Take them all back together, these two must know something."

Seeing the monk and the shopkeeper shouting grievances together, Liu Yichen stopped them. "These two cases must be related."

Looking at the setting sun, he ordered the county order. "My lord, don't throw them in prison, let's go to the village and inquire again."

The prefectural order couldn't, and said to the officials. "The royal brother is also kind-hearted, so he has to do this, hurry up and pack the carriage and go to the village."

Just then, the door creaked and opened. It turned out to be Wang, her eyes were red, and they had been wiped away, tears.

His cheeks were very pale, and his face was as gray as death. She muttered. "My lord, I'm going to go with me, my body is all for people to see, what's missing?"

Seeing her like this, Liu Yichen comforted her kindly. "The ancients said well, no matter what the heart is, the heart is clean, it is better than anything else."

The carriage creaked along, and once again came to the decaying tree. A few people walked over there, with scythes in their hands, bent waists, and green seedlings on their backs.

Liu Yichen stopped them and asked. "Brothers, last night, you didn't see any suspicious people, it should be from outside."

The tallest one at the head said in a loud voice. "I really saw a man last night, who seemed to have a blade in his hand, shining, looking into the rice field."

The other fat man also replied. "We thought that thing was here to steal food, but we didn't dare to go in and catch it, there are a lot of bamboo leaves in that field."

Liu Yichen was overjoyed. "Which field is it?" They stretched out their fingers and pointed downwards. "That's it, it's steep, but it's good."

The county magistrate looked at those people, waved his hand, and ordered the officials in a loud voice. "You go in and search for it, the prisoner should still be hiding inside."

The officials were helpless, took off their shoes, pulled up their trousers, and went into the rice fields. After a while, they came out of it, one of them holding a knife in his hand.

"Sir, this is it." They walked over with a flattering look on their faces. "The snake there almost bit the small one, but fortunately, the small one caught it with the sharp eyes."

Liu Yichen looked at the knife, which had several ancient inscriptions engraved on it. "Could it be bronze?" He stretched out his hand and scraped the rust on it.

By the red sunset, he saw that the knife was a sharp object made of bronze. The texture on it is very neatly carved.

"This must be an antique, right?" He put the knife away. "Let's go down to the village and ask, they should know something, just be careful."

The car was on its toss, and they tossed for a long time until they reached the village below. The woman shyly pointed to the side of the cabin.

"That's my family over there, don't tell my father and mother about this." Liu Yichen said calmly. "Don't go any further, everybody."

In the middle of the road, another old woman came by. She chewed tea leaves and hummed songs. "Mother-in-law, do you see any suspicious people?"

The old woman turned and looked at him. "Ladies and gentlemen, how do you know this? It's just that last night, the old net worth of chickens lost two. ”

She babbled for a long time, and took Liu Yichen and them together. "It's right at the mouth of the fence, the hole is very small, and the chickens are gone."

Liu Yichen walked in cautiously and found a few feathers, covered in blood. The sink on one side, glowing black, seemed to have something.

Several servants gently moved the sink away. It turned out that there was a pile of white ash underneath, and a few bones, and a disgusting pile of feces.

"This chicken must have been stolen and eaten." Liu Yichen looked into the cave and saw the traces of a person crawling there, and the soil was pressed.

"I'll go to that house and ask." They walked out and knocked on the door next door. After a while, an old man with a disheveled hair appeared.

He sang loudly and blew his nose. "Grandpa, I'm Jiang Ziya, and I'm stable in the world." Hands danced, and the body spun in circles.

Song Zhiyao avoided the man in disgust, and many flies buzzed around him. "I'm afraid he's a madman, let's go and find someone else."

The night was already completely dark, and they looked at the footprints and came to the next house. Stretching out his hand, he knocked on the door. The door opened quickly.

Out of it came a young man, dressed in a white linen shirt. "Sir." He knelt heavily and kowtowed, not daring to raise his head to look at the man.

Liu Yichen ordered him to get up and continued. "Brother, you don't have to worry, we're just here to investigate the case, do you see any suspicious people?"

He held his chin and rolled his eyes. "Really, last night, there was a thunderclap, and I saw a person in the backyard falling from the mountain."

Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao, the two walked together. It turned out that this backyard was the cliff I saw before, and the unkempt weeds were scorched by lightning.

The young man continued. "The man seemed to be on stilts, and soon disappeared, and went in the direction of the river, and I did not dare to meddle with things."

Song Zhiyao's eyes were sharp, and she saw the soil on the side, and there were deep traces. There were red marks dripping inside, and on one side were broken bone slag.

"Xianggong, along this road, we can find it." They followed the trail and walked forward. Arrived at a dilapidated thatched hut.

Knocking softly on the door, a short, fat man with a purple turban and a foul smell came out. "Master, what's the matter?"

Wang leaned back and covered his nose. "It's not this little man, he's digging dung in our village, and he can't even reach me when he stands up."

They went to the side of the house again, and found that the mark was broken when it came into the house. "Have you seen any suspicious people?" The officials asked sternly.

The little man, with trembling legs and a stutter in his speech. I don't know what to say. "He said the man threatened him."

Listening to the woman's words, they walked around. There was a huge stone on the side. "But down here, will there be a secret?"

Laboriously open the stones, underneath is a hollow cellar. "There's nothing in there." At this time, the little man was writing with a pen and paper.

Although the words were crooked, they also saw the meaning. "A man dressed in black and with a knife in his hand looked behind the mountain."

It's just that since this is the case, it contradicts the previous reasoning. "That person made such a big circle, and he didn't get anything."

At this time, it was raining outside again. "It looks like there's no going back." The woman invited them. "Ladies and gentlemen, stay at my house for a while."

The road is very dark, and it is still uphill, so if you rush back, it is easy to have an accident. When they came to the room, the woman's parents were carrying silk quilts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a hard work." They only thought they were catching a thief, and they didn't know that their daughter was raped by shameless thieves.

Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao, the two of them were lying in the room, covered with a quilt, but they couldn't sleep. "This matter can't be considered a game."

Song Zhiyao rubbed her tired eyes and said helplessly. "Xianggong, these people don't know what's going on, one by one, they're all confused."

Liu Yichen looked at her and replied without thinking. "This barren mountain and countryside, the incident happened in a hurry, don't worry, but a thief, it's easy to deal with."

It was stormy outside, and the door creaked and opened. A dark shadow flashed inside, pulling a silk quilt. "Lady, I'm here."

The man stretched out his big rough hand and walked towards Song Zhiyao. She looked back in disgust. "Xianggong, grab this thing, don't let him take the opportunity to escape."

The figure suddenly realized that there were still men here. "Stop!" Liu Yichen stretched out his hand, raised the sword on the side, and slashed it hard.

With a pop, a cloth was cut off, and a blood streak erupted and dripped on the ground. The figure moved forward vigorously, and soon disappeared into the night sky.

Liu Yichen ran to the courtyard, but it was empty. He was drenched in rain, sneezed heavily, and felt dizzy.

"Stop chasing." Song Zhiyao hurriedly ran out and grabbed Liu Yichen. "Take these drops of blood, hurry up and give them to those people, maybe, there is some use."

He gently took out a white cloth from the blood droplets and wrapped them carefully. Beside the house, there was another terrible scream.

"Who is it?" Liu Yichen grabbed the sword in his hand and rushed out. I only saw Wang's clothes, his clothes were torn, and his body was full of scars and bloodstains.

She glared and inhaled heavily. "The dog and beast are here again." A piece of flesh skin spits out of the mouth. "Bitten from his back."

Song Zhiyao also followed, and they fell into a panic. The wind in the distance is getting colder and colder. I don't know when the ghost will reappear.

Liu Yichen gently helped her up and comforted her kindly. "Girl, the monk is still in the inn, and he is tightly guarded, you know this time."

The woman rubbed her red eyes with tears in her eyes. "My lord, the dog must still be nearby, help me and get him out quickly."

Song Zhiyao looked at her and said helplessly. "That's all there is to this place, what else can I do? The man, perhaps by now, had fled the village. ”

Wang frantically pulled Song Zhiyao's sleeve, gritted his teeth, and his body trembled. "Little girl, how can you do this? I helped you. ”

Liu Yichen looked at them, entangled to the side, and struggled to pull the two apart. "Calm down, I'll summon those people over again and interrogate them one by one."
