Chapter 101: The Murderer
The children of the rivers and lakes are old, and the affairs on the rivers and lakes will be solved by the means of the rivers and lakes.
This is the default rule of many people in the rivers and lakes, and this situation is that in the modern society where Yang Xingzhou lived in his previous life, these people in the rivers and lakes have always followed such an ancient set of rules, and the things on the road are dealt with by means on the road.
Therefore, after the death of his senior brother and nephew, Cheng Lingsu thought that he would only rely on his personal ability to find the real murderer, and never thought of relying on the power of the government to find the murderer.
One hundred and twenty people in the rivers and lakes looked down on the people in the government, especially in the Manchu Dynasty, ambitious masters in the rivers and lakes would not do things for the Tartars, although Cheng Lingsu was a subordinate of the king of medicine, but he did not lose his integrity, so he never thought of relying on the government.
Now hearing that Yang Xingzhou was going to report to the official, Cheng Lingsu was surprised: "Is this good?" ”
Yang Xingzhou said: "Why is it not good?" Now that there is a murder case in the local area, it is natural to report to the official, you are a weak woman, and now that your brother and nephew have been killed, how can you quickly find out the real murderer? There are many people in the government, as long as you are willing to spend money, and then use a knife to force it, you can ensure that you can find out something! ”
Cheng Lingsu: "...... What else can you do? ”
Yang Xingzhou said: "It's more convenient than checking it ourselves, right?" ”
His idea is extremely strange, thinking that people in the rivers and lakes have never thought about it, Cheng Lingsu thought it was a little funny at first, but after thinking about it, he found that it was a good way to report to the official.
At that moment, Yang Xingzhou dressed up by himself and dipped five strands of long hair, and then rushed to Baima Town with Cheng Lingsu, found the local local security guard, and told him about it.
The local security did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to the county seat, there was a fatal incident in the county, and the local government did not dare to slack off, the county lord reluctantly came to the scene in a sedan chair, looked at Xiao Tie's corpse from a distance, covered his nose and shouted: "Zuo, Zhuo, go and see how he died!" ”
A thin middle-aged man with a rat whisker bowed his head and walked out, bent down to look at Xiao Tie's body, and reached out to touch it, Yang Xingzhou was startled: "This old man, do you have a child in your family?" ”
This strange said: "Why does the Taoist master say this? ”
Yang Xingzhou touched his beard and said seriously: "Poor Dao knows medical science very well, this corpse is highly poisonous, and mortals will die if they touch it!" If you are single, no old or young, touch casually, if you have a home and a room, it is better to be careful. ”
"Hey, how do you talk?" ”
He was reminded by Yang Xingzhou, his face was suspicious, and he didn't dare to touch it directly with his hands, so he directly found a dog, pressed the dog's nose on the corpse a few times, and saw that the dog was like drunk, shook in place for a while, let out a few low barks, and soon bleed from seven holes and died.
"What a poison! What a poison! ”
The corners of his frightened eyes jumped, and he thanked Yang Xingzhou for his good life: "Thank you for saving your life!" ”
Yang Xingzhou said with a smile: "You picked up a small life this time, but this poisoned person is so good, and he is a guy who kills people without blinking, it is okay for him to kill ordinary people, if he kills the people in the government, it will be impossible to prevent it!" ”
When he said this, he pointed to Xiao Tie's back and said, "Huh? There seems to be a word on this corpse! ”
He was taken aback, and after putting on his gloves, he carefully peeled off the clothes on the corpse, and saw a line of big characters written on the back of the corpse, but these words were crooked, and they were not at all the same.
He made an "ah" and shouted, "My lord, it's not good, this murderer said that he wanted to kill the prefect!" ”
The magistrate was standing far away next to him, and when he heard the words, he scolded: "Bastard thing, nonsense!" What does this murder have to do with the prefect? ”
The corpse of Xiao Tie with his fingers: "My lord, please look! ”
Zhixian cautiously paced forward, and when he saw the font on the back of Xiao Tie's corpse, his face changed instantly: "Bold maniac, lawless!" Let's go, hurry back to the mansion and send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly! ”
At the moment, he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, and returned to the county government all the way.
After these people left, Cheng Lingsu looked at Yang Xingzhou: "Senior brother, your writing is a little worse!" ”
Yang Xingzhou laughed a few times and said, "A moment of hand-making!" Momentarily hand-made! ”
He is the soul of a modern person, not to mention writing traditional Chinese characters in his previous life, that is, when he wrote simplified characters, he forgot to write the pen, and he wrote either missing arms or missing legs.
With this line of words he wrote on the little iron corpse, the local government immediately paid attention to it, and the three classes of officials, several arresters, and local gangsters all took action, and within three days, a suspicious character was found.
It turned out that there was a walking Fang Langzhong in the town of White Horse Temple before, who had come to Yaowangzhuang, and when he left, he took a scholar and a hunchbacked lame woman with him and went all the way to the north.
"This scholar should be the senior brother, and the hunchbacked and lame woman is naturally the senior sister Xue Que!"
After hearing what the government had found out, Cheng Lingsu looked solemn and looked at Yang Xingzhou: "Senior brother, it seems that you have guessed well, this Fang Langzhong may really be the poisonous hand god who was expelled from the division by the teacher before!" Except for this person, I really can't think of anyone else who can have this kind of poisoning ability! ”
When she said this, she muttered: "The teacher once said that my uncle had a bad character, and after being expelled from the school, because he was not convinced, he repeatedly competed with my master, and in the last competition, he was blinded by my teacher's poison, and since then he has disappeared, I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect that not only did he not die, but even his eyesight recovered." ”
She thought for a moment and said to Yang Xingzhou: "Senior brother, I wasn't afraid of anyone before, but now, I suddenly felt a little panicked. No matter how high other people's martial arts are, I am not afraid, but although this person was expelled from the division by my teacher, since he has been able to compete with our teacher many times, it can be seen how clever his ability to poison is. I have only been practicing medicine for a short time, and I may not be able to catch up with him when it comes to poisoning alone! ”
Yang Xingzhou said: "Okay! And me! ”
He smiled at Cheng Lingsu and said, "Senior sister, this time we are cleaning up the portal, we are killing people!" Since it is murder, why do you have to compare with him to poison him? Just cut it with a knife! ”
Cheng Lingsu: "Senior brother, isn't this good?" We are the disciples of the King of Medicine, and we naturally have to use the means in the door to clean up the portal, since this poisonous hand god has poisoned the senior brother and nephew, we will naturally repay it one by one! Poison him too! ”
Yang Xingzhou said: "Yes! After I wound him with a hidden weapon, let's tie him up, and you poison him again, and discipline him without even fighting back!" ”
Cheng Lingsu: "...... Senior brother, I'm not talking about this kind of poisoning, it's a face-to-face duel, poisoning each other, and fighting a duel in the way of your own sect! ”
Yang Xingzhou said: "Do you want to kill him?" ”
Cheng Lingsu said: "Yes, but it's ......"
Yang Xingzhou said: "I arrested him, if you poison him, will he also die?" ”
"He can't resist, so naturally he can only wait to die, but ......"
"There's nothing, as long as he's dead, what do you care! As long as you can avenge your brother and nephew! ”
"That's the truth, but I always feel a little inappropriate......"
