Chu Qingruo thought about it again and again and decided, and once again opened the coffin for an autopsy, and Yang Zhong cried and led the servants of the government to the graves of his son and daughter-in-law.

Although a year had passed, the autopsy had been completed quickly. The results of the post-mortem examination are still the same as they were a year ago. Yang Zhong's daughter-in-law was trampled to death by a horse, and his son was hanged.

Although Yang Zhong still didn't believe in this result, the facts were in front of him, and Chu Qingruo also felt that he couldn't explain it clearly. At this time, a catcher came forward and asked: "My lord, since there is nothing abnormal, then we will rebury the coffin." ”

Chu Qingruo nodded: "Well, go ahead." ”

Who knew that Yang Zhong suddenly burst out, snatched the knife that caught quickly, quickly stood behind Chu Qingruo, and put the knife on her neck: "Hmph! What is the hunt for the sky, it turns out that it is all a lie, you are also a corrupt official, and you are in a nest with their snakes and rats! ”

Gao Bo's face changed suddenly, and he said sharply; "Let her go, do you know what the crime of holding the court officials hostage?"

Yang Zhong turned a deaf ear like a demon, and muttered to himself with a hideous expression: "Since you don't help my son redress his grievances, then I will ask the demon immortal to chase after me and avenge my son!" ”

"What Demon Immortal? Nonsense! Seeing that a small bloody cut faintly appeared on Chu Qingruo's slender neck, Gao Bo was suddenly distressed, and put one hand on the saber on his waist, while glaring angrily at Yang Zhong.

"Old man, you also saw it just now, we have also examined your son's autopsy again, and there is indeed no new discovery." Chu Qingruo persuaded the old man bitterly.

Yang Zhong, who was originally kind and kind-hearted, looked like a demon at the moment, with a fierce look and a murderous face: "Shut up, you corrupt official!" After a pause, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, even a woman can be a big official, the Demon God is really right, this world is really yin and yang, and there are many demons." ”

The demon god is the demon god again. What the hell is it? Or is it someone who is lying to confuse the public? Chu Qingruo frowned lightly and wondered.

Just when she was gone, Gao Bo suddenly pulled Chu Qingruo quickly, snatched her from Yang Zhong's hands, and protected her behind him. Seeing that the hostages were rescued, Yang Zhong didn't think about reaching out and pulled his little grandson over with a frightened face, and cut his neck with a knife: "Lord Demon God, I dedicate the lives of my grandson and this dog official to you today, I hope that Lord Demon God will avenge our family under the Yellow Spring, and take the life of the enemy!" ”

Everything happened in an instant, and such a sudden surprise caught everyone present off guard, and it was too late to save people, and they watched Yang Zhong cut the child's throat.

Chu Qingruo, who was pushed by him and stumbled and almost fell, stood firm under the support of Gao Bo's arrow step, turned around and was about to dissuade the old man again, when he saw this tragic scene, he was shocked for a moment and stunned on the spot.

After Yang Zhong killed his grandson, he looked around at everyone with a fierce light in his eyes, and finally locked his eyes on Chu Qingruo and Xiao Yao: "Si Chen, there are many demons, as long as you kill the demons, this world can return to clarity, and my son can be wronged!" So saying, he slashed at them with his sword.

Seeing this, Gao Bo flew forward to block Chu Qingruo without the slightest hesitation, and couldn't help but exhale: "Qingruo, be careful!" ”

The sound of a body of flesh cracking sounded, Gao Bo's arm was bleeding, and his face turned white in an instant, but he still reflexively kicked Yang Zhong away first. Yang Zhong screamed like a kite with a broken string, flew a few feet away, fell to the ground, and a group of catchers quickly stepped forward to restrain him.

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhong ignored the sword, laughed and rolled on the ground twice, rolled to the side of the little grandson, lay on the child's corpse, and shouted to the sky: "Lord Demon God, I dedicate my life to you, please ask for our lives and chase the soul, and these dog officials will not die well!" With that, he pulled out the dagger he had secretly hidden from his sleeve and plunged it into his chest, killing him instantly.

Li Wei, who was a head catcher, hurriedly stepped forward to probe his breath, and then came to report dejectedly: "My lord, the person is dead. ”

Chu Qingruo nodded with a complicated expression, turned his head to look at Gao Bo again, and asked gratefully, "General Gao, are you okay?" ”

Gao Bo covered the wound with one hand, endured the pain and replied with a smile: "I have rough skin and thick flesh, so this little injury is naturally fine." As long as the adults are okay, I'm relieved. The concern on his face was undisguised.

Chu Qingruo was speechless for a while, flustered, and hurriedly turned his head away from the topic: "Master, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Yao smiled and shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Chu Qingruo breathed a sigh of relief, avoided Gao Bo's eyes, and raised his voice: "Bring the corpse back to the mansion, and bring it to be buried after the corpse has been examined." He lowered his eyes and said to Xiao Yao: "Master, let's go back to the mansion." ”

Xiao Yao nodded, and the two left abruptly, leaving Gao Bo looking at their backs, stunned. Seeing this, Li Wei stepped forward and hooked his shoulder: "Listen to Qingruo, you are the little bully who robbed her at the lantern festival back then?" I can't imagine that you are now a general? Don't look at it, people are already far away! ”

Gao Bo retracted his eyes in despair and smiled at Li Wei awkwardly.

Back at the mansion, Chu Qingruo took the tea handed by the maid and took a sip, frowning. When Xiao Yao saw it, she couldn't help but ask, "Qingruo, are you worried about the affairs of Huangquan Dao?" ”

Chu Qingruo nodded: "Yes, from Zhang Hong's bizarre death to today's old man who has gone so mad, we can hear the name Huangquan Dao everywhere we go and in the cases we encounter." It seems that this cult force has become ubiquitous among the people, and the trend of becoming bigger and bigger will sooner or later be a big problem for the imperial court. I would like to repair the book and report it to Banzai, and ask him to pay attention to this matter. ”

Xiao Yao thought for a while: "Perhaps, we still need to ask Banzai to send us more manpower, I think the more we investigate this matter, the more dangerous it will be." Relying on these guards brought by General Gao alone, I am afraid that it is not enough. ”

Chu Qingruo nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I will immediately write to Banzai to ask for an investigation into this matter, and then ask him to send more people to help." ”

Soon, Fu Lingyun rushed to Jinyang Mansion with Mingzong's holy decree. Seeing her husband come suddenly, Chu Qingruo was overjoyed, and Chen Jingzhi even set up a banquet to wash the dust, and he was very busy. Only Gao Bo forced a smile in front of the people, and the people were sad.

After everyone talked about the past, they got back to business. Chu Qingruo briefly told Fu Lingyun and Xu Yong about these recent cases.

Xu Yong didn't think much after hearing this: "Isn't it just a cult?" Why are we making such a big move, and the people have not believed in these gods and ghosts for a day or two, and they have not seen any big waves come out, what is there to be afraid of? ”

Chu Qingruo glanced at him helplessly, and told him what Uncle Qiu told her again: "Uncle Xu, do you know the origin of this Demon God Sect?" ”

Xu Yong shook his head.

"One hundred and fifty years ago, the people in power in the former dynasty of Sangyun Kingdom were incompetent, the court was corrupt and politically dark, and a religion called "Demon God Sect" began to be established among the people of Sangyun Kingdom. At that time, the sect leader was poor from a small family, and later fell into a gang of performing arts, and he practiced his skills here. Later, his family was killed by the imperial court, and the leader of the Demon God Sect, who had lost his loved ones, hated the imperial court at that time. Mobilize the remnants, reorganize them, rob homes and houses, kill corrupt officials, destroy the powerful, attack cities and conquer lands everywhere, and secretly rebel in the name of doing things for heaven. At that time, Sang Yunguo used the strength of the whole country to exterminate this cult, but now it has revived. ”

Xu Yong was shocked when he heard this: "This Demon God Sect is really so terrifying? ”

Chu Qingruo frowned and nodded: "It is said that the sect leader of this Demon God Sect has the Heaven Thorough Lady Spell, and his divine powers are vast and omnipotent. There are also a lot of talented people under him. After I heard about it, I asked my master to check some things about the Demon God Sect, and it was simply appalling. ”

Xiao Yao also nodded with a heavy face: "Yes, there are some records in the history books. The book says that before a person in the sect went out, he put a basin on the hall, the basin was full of water, and there was a small boat made of straw floating on the water. When the man returned, he told his apprentice that when he was at sea, the boat capsized, and all the people in the boat died except him. ”

Everyone was stunned: "Such an evil sect? ”

Xiao Yao sighed: "The most terrifying thing about the Demon God Sect is that everyone believes that only by cultivating the Demon Body can they be immune to all diseases and immortal!" But in fact, the demon god they believe in is actually a ghost king in the underworld, who not only eats people and drinks blood, but also retribution, and what he does is also evil and extreme. It is also recorded that there was once a member of the Demon God Cult who accidentally soiled his clothes on the street by a yellow-mouthed child, and the man smiled and stroked the child's head three times before leaving. That night the boy cried incessantly, and bled to death. Later, an autopsy found that the child had apparently been killed by internal force shattering his skull.

Also, when a concubine of a congregation committed adultery, and the man went to the adulterer's house, the adulterer turned into a pig on the spot, and the man immediately killed the pig, ate some of it himself, and sold the rest of the meat to the butcher. When the butcher took it home, it turned out to be human flesh! ”

The crowd was indignant: "Such a cult is really harmful!" It's too sinister. ”

Xu Yong gritted his teeth even more: "No wonder Sang Yunguo wants to eradicate it with the strength of the whole country, it is really inhumane." Then he asked eagerly, "Are these cases in the young lady's hands definitely related to the Demon God Sect?" ”

Chu Qingruo was worried about this matter: "I'm just worried that there is no evidence, and the cult is hiding among the people, so I have no clue and no way to start." ”

Fu Lingyun, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke at this moment: "What's so difficult about this, I'll accompany you to pretend to investigate." ”

Chu Qingruo's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Are you willing to let me go?" ”

Fu Lingyun smiled: "I won't let you go, will you be obedient?"

Chu Qingruo wrinkled her nose at him mischievously: "The one who knows me is always you!" ”

Chen Jingzhi couldn't help coughing on the side: "Ahem, the dishes are cold, let's move the chopsticks quickly!" ”

Everyone laughed, but Gao Bo smiled reluctantly.
