Chapter 303: A Clever Case on the Road to the West (Part II)

If the villagers of Huangjiagou were afraid of Yang Zhen only because of his status as an official and soldier, then now when they see him show such a shocking hand, they are in awe of himself. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 It seems that this old man really didn't brag, the god of Brother Chun that he believed in was indeed much more powerful than his own Baiying God, at least his two gods had never shown such a means in front of people.

Huang Shilang looked at Yang Zhen, and his face was also cloudy and uncertain. As a person who pretended to be a god and deceived the villagers, he actually didn't believe in the ghosts and gods, but Yang Zhen's hand made him unable to see the slightest problem, which made him wonder if Yang Zhen really had the blessing of the great god Brother Chun.

After taking the rag handed by the guards and wiping the oil stains on his hands, Yang Zhen looked at the villagers in front of him for a while: "How is it?" Now do you believe that the great god of Brother Chun that I believe in does have great magical powers? If you still dare to disobey his will, as long as Brother Chun is angry, he can let you die without a place to be buried! ”

As long as you are superstitious, you are most likely to believe in all kinds of gods and ghosts. There was also Yang Zhen's supernatural power as a guarantee, which made the villagers even more afraid to disbelieve, so after a moment of silence, a villager said in a trembling voice: "Then dare to ask the eldest master, what hint did Brother Chun give, can you point out the true identity of the murderer?" ”

"Well...... The great god said, just let me tell who the murderer is is not enough to show his supernatural powers, he wants to let the murderer himself show his original form! Yang Zhen said confidently.

"Huh?" Not only the villagers, but also the soldiers beside him were also shocked when they heard this, especially Cai Yingyang, who knew the details of Yang Zhen's magical powers, and naturally didn't think that there was really any Brother Chun's great divine powers to help Yang Zhen let the murderer appear by himself. But when he looked at Yang Zhen's expression, he felt that he shouldn't be talking nonsense.

"Then I don't know what Brother Chun will do to make the murderer appear in his original form?" Huang Shilang asked with a somewhat nervous expression.

"It's easy, just borrow this shrine of yours." Yang Zhen had already made a plan at this moment, and walked towards the shrine that was actually not very big. In addition to a clay statue of a god more than one person tall and a candle, incense burner and tribute, there were only a few futons and a huge bronze skull. His gaze only lingered on the bronze curtain for a moment, and then he had an idea, and turned back to the villagers who followed: "You guys retreat aside, I will first cast a spell here to invite the great god of Brother Chun to come to this ancestral hall." Then one by one, you will enter the ancestral hall and touch the bronze bowl with your hands, and if the murderer touches the bronze bowl, the copper bowl will make a sound. ”

Hearing Yang Zhen say so mysteriously, those villagers had no reason not to believe it. Except for gods and ghosts, who has such great magical powers that can make their voices heard. So the villagers quickly responded in a low voice and stepped aside.

Yang Zhen called Cai Yingyang and whispered a few words in his ear. Cai Yingyang listened to his instructions and looked strange, but he also knew that this was not the time to ask carefully, so he hurriedly returned to the team, and after a while, he rushed back with a small bag.

Yang Zhen took the bag, then walked into the shrine, and closed the door so that no one could see what he was doing inside. After a long time, the door was opened by him, and then he stood in front of the door and said: "You go in one by one, remember, close the door first after entering, otherwise you will be punished by Brother Chun!" ”

The villagers were apprehensive, but they didn't dare to disobey, so after a period of pushing, a man who had always been the most courageous took the lead. I saw that he cautiously came to the shrine, bowed very respectfully, and then stepped in, and closed the door of the ancestral hall according to Yang Zhen's wishes.

As soon as the door was closed, the shrine, which had only such an entrance, suddenly became pitch black, and the man groped his way forward, and finally came to the bronze skull, and pressed his hand on it with anxiety, and his heart rose to his throat. Somehow, he always felt that he was not the only one in this shrine, but also a pair of emotionless eyes looking down on him from a high place.

Fortunately, however, the brass did not sound as he feared, and after touching the sound of his hand for a moment, the man exhaled loudly, and then walked backwards to the door, opened the door, and walked out.

When the villagers saw that he had walked out unharmed, their hearts were finally relieved. But looking at his anxious face, I still couldn't help but ask him about the situation inside. The man said how he felt in the shrine, and now he completely confirmed the fact that there were gods observing inside.

Yang Zhen listened to their conversation on the side, and felt amused in his heart. This is just a hint given to themselves by superstitious people, and it is precisely because they believe their own nonsense and feel that there will be the great god of Brother Chun watching from Laoshzi inside, that they will have such an illusion. And once someone says this delusion, it is easier for those who enter later to feel similar.

Although they were afraid in their hearts, the villagers did not dare to disobey Yang Zhen, or the meaning of Brother Chun, and then the villagers entered the shrine one after another, asking Brother Chun to examine whether he was a murderer.

The sergeants on the other side already knew the ins and outs of the matter at this time, and when they saw the villagers constantly entering it, they immediately became curious, and some people privately discussed: "Do you think this matter is credible?" Does Yang Qianhu really have such great magical powers? ”

"There are many people with great powers in this world, Yang Qianhu became a Jinyi Wei Qianhu at a young age, and he made so many contributions, so he was naturally blessed by the gods."

"Then why hasn't there been any movement in the copper inside for so long?"

"Ahem, that's because the murderer hasn't gone in yet. We'll see a miracle later. ”

It was the entourage beside Zhong Yu who was also skeptical about this at this time, and couldn't help but ask his own adult: "Master, do you say that what Yang Qianhu said is really true?" ”

Zhong Yu touched the beard under his chin and pondered, "It's really hard to say this. With the insight of this official, I can't believe that the ghost and god can really judge the case, otherwise what would I want the officials to do? But looking at Yang Qianhu's appearance, he seems to be very sure of this, which is really strange. ”

"It's just a trick to pretend to be a ghost, and he Yang Zhen doesn't have that ability at all." An Jizong was very disdainful of this. It's just that he can't say what kind of medicine Yang Zhen is selling in this gourd, don't let everyone enter the shrine at that time, but the copper is not sound, then his face will be lost. However, this is exactly what An Jizong wants to see.

It seems that this time he can really make An Jizong get his wish. Although there are many villagers, as time goes by, more and more people have entered the shrine, and seeing that there are only two or three people left who have not entered, is the murderer really only among these few people?

The soldiers who were watching from the side didn't feel that they were sweating for Yang Zhen at the moment, don't let the copper run out in the end, and lose your face.

When the last villager walked out of the shrine with some strange shapes, everyone's eyes looked at Yang Zhen in unison. Although no one spoke for the time being, everyone's meaning was already very clear, since the copper was not ringing, didn't what he said before become false?

"See how else can he justify himself?" After An Jizong saw this scene, he immediately showed a gloating smile, and felt that it was a pleasure to see him make such a fool of himself before killing Yang Zhen.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Zhen didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't see the slightest embarrassment, but just smiled faintly: "Since everyone has gone in and touched the copper skull, then presumably the identity of the murderer will soon be revealed." As he spoke, he took a step forward, swept his gaze over the villagers in front of him, and then said with a solemn face: "Please also stretch out your hands." ”

"Huh?" The villagers were stunned for some reason. But after a pair of Yang Zhen's eyes full of majesty, he immediately obediently stretched out his hand according to his meaning. At this time, everyone noticed that something was wrong, it turned out that their hands were stained with some black ink at some point. Although the villagers' hands have not always been so clean, the ink is not something they usually have access to, so it is particularly eye-catching on their hands.

Yang Zhen looked over from the hands covered with calluses and wounds, and finally stopped on one of the hands, his face sank, and he pointed to the owner of the hands and ordered: "Come on, take him down for me, this person is the murderer!" ”

Several guards were stunned for a moment, and then they came back to their senses, and stepped forward with an arrow, and held down Huang Shilang, who was surprised by Yang Zhen, and it was Huang Shilang who was pointed out as the murderer by Yang Zhen!

"The eldest lord is wronged, the villain has never killed anyone, didn't the copper slap just now......" Huang Shilang's face has changed greatly at this moment, but he still vigorously denies it.

Yang Zhen laughed, pointed at him and said, "At this time, you still dare to quibble." Yes, what I said just now is false, and there is no such thing as Brother Chun, but you, the murderer, are real. ”

"Huh? What the? Everyone was amazed when they heard him say this, and they were stunned for a moment.

"Do you see anything unusual in his hands?" Yang Zhen saw that everyone still didn't understand what he meant, so he grabbed Huang Shilang's hand and presented it in front of everyone.

Everyone was stunned at first, and then looked at Huang Shilang's hands, most of them didn't see anything unusual, but people like Song Xueqiao and Zhong Yu had already come back to their senses. Zhong Yu even clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! I asked him why Yang Zhen wanted to do these things, it turned out that he had prepared for it early, and it was the murderer's psychology of being a thief! ”

And Song Xueqiao over there looked at Yang Zhen with some vigilance: "This person can come up with such a means to induce the murderer to take the initiative to show up in a short period of time, and he is indeed very scheming." It seems that you have to be careful with him this time. ”
