Chapter 206: Things Got Bigger
"Open the door, open the door!"
Before they knew what was going on, a group of soldiers suddenly knocked on the door and rushed directly into the courtyard very rudely. Scattered on all sides, a large group of soldiers suddenly surrounded the inside and outside of the small courtyard.
Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she didn't know what was going on, and when she saw those soldiers, she looked particularly frightened.
Tan Ling and Tan Song were also alarmed, the two stood up, looking at these people outside with a blank face, not knowing what was going on, Tang Xiaoyi wanted to get the stick, and the golden retriever was also in a state of full vigilance. Tang Wanwan glanced at them, and Tang Xiaoyi didn't use a stick to drive people away.
What Tang Wanwan didn't expect was that then a large group of people from the government came, and even the rare prefect came, and Lord Feng was among them, but these people who rushed in were obviously not Lord Feng's people. And next to the prefect stood a man in white, wearing a golden crown on his head, and there were four people who were closely protected by him, and they looked unusual.
Seeing such a situation, Tang Wanwan suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly pulled the village chief aside and asked him what happened?
The village chief replied that the patriarch specially invited the head of Maoshan to drive away evil spirits in the courtyard. Then he also took Tang Wanwan to meet the king of Nanping County and the prefect.
Tang Wanwan saluted the two of them according to the etiquette of ordinary civilians, and the people in the room also came out to salute, except for Tang Wei, who had no good legs.
Then I heard the soul bell in the hand of the Taoist priest, which kept ringing, and the two Taoist priests in Taoist robes entered the house directly while chanting words in their mouths.
Tang Wanwan wanted to enter the house, but was stopped, and then the man said: "The Taoist chief is doing the law inside, trespassing and dying." ”
Tang Wanwan was even more puzzled, there was no situation at home, why did she still do it, and she looked very nervous. The village chief said that because Tan Ling and Tan Song had lived in her house, they were relatives of Old Man Tan after all, and maybe he would come back to find them.
After a while, the Taoist chief finished his practice and bowed slightly to Mrs. Chen, saying that there was nothing sneaky in the house, and she could live with peace of mind.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Wanwan thought that it would be okay like this, but he didn't want it to be over, it turned out that the king of Nanping County had talked to him personally.
Ask her what her relationship is with the Tan family, and what is her relationship with Old Man Tan?
Wait, all the questions were about some seemingly trivial things, but Tang Wanwan saw a dark turbulence in the eyes of the king of Nanping County, and she was suddenly shocked in her heart, feeling that this person was extremely dangerous.
Naturally, you are very careful when answering questions.
Tan Song and Tan Ling were also questioned. The questions asked were similar, but they asked more about Old Man Tan, and said that they would go to the carpenter's shop to have a look.
Tan Ling couldn't refuse this reason.
What's even funnier is that the king of Nanping actually said that he had a relationship with Old Man Tan when he was a child and wanted to see his posthumous works.
It seems that they will not be willing to go to the carpenter's shop to search it.
The prefect wants to pat the king's ass, and he wants to leave this small courtyard.
I didn't want the king to go to the carpenter's shop to have a look, so I had no choice but to continue to accompany him.
Before leaving, Lord Feng glanced at her, and Tang Wanwan smiled at him, meaning that he was fine.
This time I went to the carpenter's shop, and they looked more closely, but they were all old things, nothing special.
The king of Nanping felt very disappointed after seeing it, and then left.
When they went back, Tang Sizhe and Tang Ruyue led the people who went to the mountains to move the monuments back, and it took nearly half a month to finally move all the things in the underground salt field back. Among them, there are also spinning wheels, treading water wheels, in short, everything that can be used has been brought back.
In order to invite merit to the king of Nanping County, the patriarch of Tang immediately ordered people to quickly place these things in a pre-set position, and invited the king of the county to visit after finishing it.
After a long time, I was finally able to visit. The king of the county and the prefect and his entourage continued to visit.
At this point, the county king's trip came to a successful end, and he did not eat dinner, and then left with his personal guard.
When the county king left, Tang Zhongqing couldn't help but say to the patriarch: "How did he find that the people brought by the county king are much less." ”
Others were also a little curious, saying that it seemed to be really less. Patriarch Tang immediately stopped them and said, "Don't talk nonsense, lest trouble come out of your mouth." ”
When someone went to tidy up the house where the king and his entourage had lived, they found fresh blood stains in the house, and they came to see it. It is said to be human blood.
Patriarch Tang knew that this matter was very big, so he immediately kept silent and told the insider to shut up, and the man also gave a hush money.
I thought this was the end of the matter.
I don't want to think that three days later, someone was spitting on the beach and found six nameless male corpses.
Moreover, the faces of these six people were all facing upwards, and their faces were swollen and unrecognizable, which scared the villagers into soft-footed shrimp at that time.
The horror is not that someone found these six nameless male corpses, but that these six male corpses are all facing upwards. According to the physiological structure of men and women, after drowning or natural death, the male corpse must be facing upwards and the female corpse must be facing downward. If the direction is wrong, it means that it is not a good way to die.
The king of Nanping, who had returned to the inn in the town, was furious when he heard the news, because he asked his men to bury the six people. The person who participated in the burial of the corpse only felt a chill down his spine, and he couldn't tell if he was suffering. "The king of the county, we carried it to the mountain at night and buried it according to what you said. Who knew that these corpses actually ran into the water. ”
As soon as the man's words came out, everyone suddenly felt that the wind in the house was blowing cold, and at this time, the wind blew open the wooden window and made a "clang" sound, and some people were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.
The county king's face was very ugly, and he immediately said: "Arrest those two Taoist priests for me, and if you can't tell the reason, you will kill them all for me." ”
"Yes!"
In this world, the strong have always held the power of life and death. In the eyes of the king of the county, the lives of those two Taoist priests are ants.
Those two Taoist priests also deserved to be unlucky, and they were killed in such an unknown way.
That night, all the people who participated in the burial also died inexplicably, and when they died, their throats were all black and green, as if they had been strangled to death.
Only one of them escaped, and he was the most capable officer on the side of the county king, but he was not much better if he did not die.
He was obviously greatly frightened, his eyes showed extreme terror, and his mouth kept shouting that there were ghosts, ghosts.
Such a person is also obviously abolished, and the county king will not continue to keep him.
This time I finally couldn't hide it, because it was in the inn, there were many people, and a few people died, how could such a big thing be hidden.
So everyone was spreading that it was an evil ghost who was doing it. Some people also say that they must have done something harmful to nature and reason that they will be punished.
But these people are the subordinates of the king of the county, and when his subordinates do evil, do they not clearly indicate that it is the order of his master?
Now it's a big deal.
The prefect received a clear order that the matter must be clarified within three days, otherwise his black gauze hat will not be guaranteed.
The prefect gave Lord Feng another death order, telling him to quickly put down other matters and organize special people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
