Chapter 269 [The Mystery of the Drought Fish]
Just such an uneasy sentence made Ming Wu Qingwei Zuo Shou Yu Qianhu stunned? Zhu Youlan, who was at a loss, thought to herself how to go south, if there were rogues in the territory of Shuntianfu, I was afraid that they would not be able to escape.
Ming Wu Qingwei, who gradually came back to his senses, guarded the Qianhu on the left, and immediately ordered the soldiers to order the soldiers and horses, and deliberately toasted Ma Wei and Zhu Youlan with a glass of wine each when leaving, and left the banquet on the grounds that they were busy with official business.
Zhu Youlan and Ma Wei, who drank this glass of wine, continued to eat, but before they knew it, they were a little sleepy, their heads rocked from side to side a few times, and the people next to them hurriedly came over to help them and asked if they wanted to go back to the room to rest?
At three o'clock in the county, Wu Junzhen, Liu Ruilin, and Yao Qiuyue were greeted by the enthusiastic county lord for dinner, and due to the war, the county knew that the county was eating and chatting about the hardships of the county! It is also related to the taxation of the "Liaodong Three Salaries" before His Majesty's death.
However, Liu Ruilin seemed to see a little greasy in the eyes of the magistrate? As long as he mentions His Majesty, it seems that he hates and hates it very much, and even reveals a sense of resistance in his eyes.
Therefore, Liu Ruilin had doubts about him, and asked under the pretext: "The capital has fallen, Your Majesty has died!" I wonder what the current situation is in Gyeonggi? Are the Rogues heading south? Where will the adults' supplies come from? ā
Faced with this series of questions, Mingwu Qingzhi County was overwhelmed, and he blushed and stammered, "Gyeonggi is certainly lost!" However, in the territory of Wuqing County, Shuntian Prefecture, this county has resisted the southward movement of the Liukou many times, among which the commander of the county guard has made great contributions to the adults, you can inquire and inquire. ā
Liu Ruilin saw that the adults of Zhixian County said this, so he naturally didn't dare to question it in person, but toasted Mingwu Qingzhi County with Wu Junzhen and Yao Qiuyue, and after three rounds of wine and food, the three of them were arranged to live in the wing.
After Liu Ruilin was not at ease when the people left, he looked around to make sure that there were no guards on the roof and around, and then closed the door and turned to Wu Junzhen on the bed, and said, "Brother Wu, in my opinion, there is a problem with this county!" Do you have to guard against it? And since we entered the city, what has always felt wrong? ā
Wu Junzhen also noticed this, the first point was that when they were just about to enter the city, they all showed the identity of His Royal Highness the county lord, but the soldiers of the Inspection Division still didn't think so! The second point is that he also showed the token when he was in the county office, but he didn't expect the county to salute for the first time, but was stunned for a moment, so he thought that such a thing would not happen under normal circumstances.
However, the only reasonable explanation is that there is a fear that someone will fake their identity in these years! And secondly, ......?
Just as the two of them were analyzing the situation, suddenly Wu Junzhen's ears moved, he immediately stopped talking and motioned with his hand to make a sound, and walked gently towards the window step by step.
Suddenly, there was a sound of tiles falling on the roof, Wu Junzhen stepped over with a sword, lifted the saber and Liu Ruilin, who was holding the sword, and rushed out, and the two looked around and found that there seemed to be a dark shadow on the roof and fled in a hurry?
So the two of them jumped on the roof together to chase the past, and the speed of the black shadow was also very fast, Wu Junzhen chased while watching It was observed that the other party should be a master, and even Liu Ruilin guessed that this person had some foundation in light skills.
After flying over a small tower, Liu Ruilin chose to catch up from the left to outflank, while Wu Junzhen followed closely behind and silently drew his saber and slashed horizontally.
The black shadow realized the danger and tilted his head back, kicked Liu Ruilin who was holding a sword to resist in a quick rotation, and then turned around and punched the middle of Wu Junzhen's saber, which was very strong, and directly made him take a few steps back, and completely bent the saber and couldn't use it.
Liu Ruilin took out his sword and stabbed and was hit by the black shadow, slapped behind him and fell to the ground with one foot, and the black shadow took the opportunity to jump off the eaves and run into the fork in the street.
When I got up quickly and jumped down to catch up, I found that the black shadow was gone! I only heard a gong on the corner shouting, "It's the second watch!" ā
Wu Junzhen, who appeared immediately, grabbed his collar and pressed it against the wall, and asked, "Beat the watch, have you seen a man in black passing by here?" ā
The frightened watchman said with a hideous face: "IāI didn't see it!" ā
Liu Ruilin thinks something is wrong? Hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Who is it?" ā
Immediately, he saw a white shadow floating by, and Wu Junzhen hurriedly chased after him, but after turning the corner, he disappeared again? The two of them think there should be some martial arts master nearby? Maybe?
Before the two of them could react, the watchman behind them shouted, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin turned around and ran over to look, and found that the watchman was lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, and his mouth was still reading, "Yes, there are ghosts!" ā
Seeing this, Wu Junzhen hurriedly helped him up and listened to it, and when he checked the situation on his body, he accidentally saw two tooth marks on his neck? Could it be that this is really a legendary ghost? Both of them felt very strange about this, thinking that what happened tonight was not normal!
At that moment, a group of soldiers on the night patrol passed by by with torches, shouting, "Stop, someone! ā
With the sound and the soldiers, a few crossbow arrows came over, but Liu Ruilin blocked them with a sword, he pulled Wu Junzhen up and said, "Brother Wu, let's go, it's the night curfew time, we have a lot of inconvenience on this street, let's go back first!" Besides, Miss Yao is still in the yard! ā
In this way, the two continued to jump on the roof and escaped, successfully seizing the pursuit of the night patrol soldiers and returning to the backyard of the county office.
The next day, when the sky was bright, I heard that many people gathered on the street to watch, and attracted the Yang Village Inspection Department and the fast catchers who were going to check the Chengmen Road Gang, and the Mingyang Village Inspector: Qiu Sheng, Ming Wuqing County Catcher: Song Fu, the two squeezed through the crowd to the front, and found a corpse on the ground with a pale face and white spittle in its mouth.
The head catcher of Ming Wuqing County immediately asked the catchers to block the streets to evacuate the people, arranged for people to carry the body back to the yamen, and posted notices for the families of the deceased to come to the county government to file a case.
Soon the notice was posted all over the city, and the family members also came to mourn for it, and asked to file a case to investigate the matter, and the forensic doctor was also arrested and brought to experience the corpse as a corpse, and found that there were obvious tooth marks on the neck, and the deceased's body did not suffer any internal injuries, but the hideous face should have been frightened before death?
But just being scared and having a tooth mark on your neck is not enough to kill you! Even if you are frightened, you are only unconscious, and it is impossible to die!
In this way, the forensic doctor is reminded of the matter of blood sucking, but it is only the corpse that exists in the legend, and the so-called "Poetry, Daya, Yunhan" (Drought Fish?) ļ¼
However, the credibility of this legend is very low, and almost no one has ever seen it, so the forensic doctor did not dare to make a conclusion, and he had to announce to the head catcher and the magistrate of Wuqing County in the Ming Dynasty, "Lord Qiqi, after a small examination, the corpse came to the conclusion that the beater had a bad heart and kidney before his death, and he was overly frightened and was bitten by an unknown object on the neck, which led to a violent death on the spot!" ā
The son and wife of the deceased in the hall hugged the corpse and cried and pleaded: "Lord Zhixian, please make decisions for us and find out the real culprit as soon as possible!" ā
Mingwu Qingzhi County, who sat in the hall and put down his hat, nodded and promised to help catch the real murderer, which made the crowd outside the hall applaud, and the sound also alarmed Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin in the backyard, Wu Junzhen opened the curtain and walked to the hall, waved his hand and said, "Slow!" When the official knocked on the door to buy medicine last night with a stomachache, he had a relationship with the deceased, and this matter was not so simple, but two black and white figures appeared nearby. ā
Everyone around heard the black and white figure? They were all shocked! The magistrate in the hall was also dumbfounded, and walked down and asked, "The Lord of the Hundred Households went out last night?" Dare to ask what it is? And why do you want to hurt the watchman? ā
Wu Junzhen had no reasonable explanation for this, and Liu Ruilin had no choice but to open up and say, "Not bad!" I had indeed seen the black and white figures, and I was there at the time, but the black and white figures were very fast and agile enough to make them escape. ā
Then the forensic doctor and the magistrate began to ask about the facial characteristics of the black and white figure, and they said that the black shadow could be sure that it was probably a person, and the light skill was very good and had some skills, but the white shadow flashed by and never saw its true face!
However, Mingwu Qingzhi County walked into the court in front of everyone, picked up the shocking wood and slapped it on the case, and ordered, "Okay, since the adults of the trial hundred households have seen the murderer, then let the trial hundred households and the small flag officer of Linqingwei participate in the arrest of the real murderer, and the official will dispatch people to protect the safety of the two adults." ā
Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin, who received the order in this way, led 200 people, and Mingwu Qingzhi County also sent Mingwu Qingxian County Cheng: Tang Rong, and they set off to investigate, but before leaving, Mingwu Qingxian County Cheng was left by the county magistrate for a long time to talk privately, and finally came out of the house, and they decided to go on their night patrol tonight, once they found something suspicious, the whole city was immediately wanted.
In addition, at the foot of the wooded slope of Gangbei Mountain, which is far from the county seat, a man wearing a black cloak and a black hat appeared, looked around, walked under a tree, stretched out his hand and touched it, and said, "It's been three years!" When will the Central Plains Rebellion be resolved? ā
Suddenly, there was a strange cry in the distance, and the man in the black cloak immediately jumped up the branches of the tree, climbed to a high place to observe the surroundings, and he noticed a group of gray and white wolves in front of him?
The leader was a strong and fierce looking war wolf, and slowly approached this way with his breath, and the man in the black cloak saw that the wolves had gathered under the tree, raised his head and howled a little unpleasantly, so he threw them with a branch.
The wolves screamed more intensely, and some wolves tried to climb the tree with their claws, but the man in the cloak was not worried and jumped to another tree, but the wolves were still howling under the tree, and there was a feeling that they would not stop if they didn't eat the man!
This made the man in the black cloak think of using fire to scare the wolf, so he took out the fire fold and began to light the fire, but at this time, a familiar figure appeared?
That's right, the previous white figure floated behind the wolves, and when the man saw this, he hurriedly put away the fire and flew to the branch of another tree to observe, and found that the white figure flickered and appeared in this mountain again.
At this moment, the man broke off a dead branch, quickly lit the branch with a fire breaker, and jumped down and waved it towards the wolves, frightening the surrounding wolves from approaching easily, and after howling at the man a few times, he hurried away.
The man patted the dirty thing on the cloak and smiled sinisterly, "You can't run this time!" ā
I continued to chase after him, and after running for about a mile, I saw a graveyard in front of me, dark and terrifying, with a faint white mist floating around the jungle, and from time to time there were cries of crows and nightingales, which sounded very scary!
But the man was still not afraid or continued to move forward, but he suddenly heard a flock of birds flying into the sky in the woods to the east, that is to say, it was alarmed, the man quickly looked and found that it was the direction of the county seat, and when he looked up to see that it was already dusk.
