Ma Xian Ling was relieved to see that Li Ang, who was dressed in black, was led to the main hall of the yamen,

Fortunately, he didn't remember that he was interrogating the prisoner, so he didn't rush down to the court, and hurriedly ran over to greet him.

It can be regarded as saving a trace of the face of the county magistrate of Goose City.

"Dao Chief, please take a seat."

With a wave of his hand, Ma Bangde asked Ma Han of the Ya Dynasty to bring a chair and place it in front of the left side of the same desk.

Li Ang was not polite, sat straight up, and glanced at the two people standing next to the hall, "Who are these two?" ”

"The one standing is Zhao Liu, a farmer in Zhuansang Town."

Ma Bond explained: "The one lying on his stomach is the murderer in this case, surnamed Wu Minghuan.

On the surface, he is a merchant who walks the streets and alleys and sells sundries in rural towns, but he is actually a member of the White Lotus Sect who has mastered the demon law. ”

When Wu Arc heard this, a smile flashed on his dark face, "My lord, the approval of the Criminal Department has not come down yet, and I can't be counted as a murderer yet, at most I can be called a suspect." ”

"Hmph."

Ma Bangde was too lazy to entangle with the White Lotus Sect, picked up the shocking wood on the bookcase, patted it, and said to the uneasy farmer Zhao Liu: "Zhao Liu, in front of Siemens Daoist, you will describe in detail the case you saw before. ”

"Yes, sir."

Zhao Liu arched his hand in a non-standard posture, and began to tell his experience uneasily.

Pile Mulberry Town is located in the west of Goose City, as the name suggests, produces mulberry leaf silk,

Zhao Liu is a farmer in Zhuansang Town, usually wandering and lazy, idle all day long, the output of the two thin fields at home is pitiful, and the little income from farming was bought by him to drink.

Such a lazy and idler, naturally no good family can look at him,

Zhao Liu is also happy not to marry a wife, and he can have less people to nag and control himself.

It's just that the income is only so little, but the addiction to alcohol is endless.

Zhao Liuxin wanted to get some wine money, so he aimed his bad thoughts at the local rich family in Zhuansang Town, a family surnamed Xu.

The ancestors of the Xu family have a good business, and in this generation, they have already accumulated good land and mansions, and thousands of family fortunes.

Young Master Xu just got married a year ago,

The woman is also from a wealthy family in another town, and on the day of marriage, the bride price and dowry almost blocked the streets and roads of the entire Zhusang Town.

Zhao Liu was jealous that Young Master Xu was born superior to others, coveted the Xu family's wealth, and always thought about when he could sneak into the Xu family's house and steal the property.

It's a pity that the Xu family's house is surrounded by high walls, and there are guards and bodyguards patrolling inside the walls from time to time.

If you really want to be caught burglary, it is light to be beaten half to death by the guards on the spot.

Zhao Liu observed the periphery of the Xu family for several months, but he never found an opportunity to take advantage of it.

It wasn't until two days ago that Young Master Xu received a letter from his father who was far away in the national capital, saying that his father was suffering from illness, and asked Young Master Xu to hurry up and rush to the national capital to see him for the last time.

Young Master Xu did not doubt him, took light men and horses, and went to the national capital.

Zhao Liu, a farmer who is usually idle, seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the absence of Young Master Xu and the vacancy of the Xu family's guards, he found a way to climb over the wall and enter the Xu house, preparing to wait for everyone to fall asleep, get down from the beam, and loot jewelry and money.

What Zhao Liu is eyeing is the room of the young lady of the Xu family - the treasure in this room is estimated to be the most, and the young lady of the Xu family has been pregnant for half a year, and she has difficulty moving with a big belly, which makes it more convenient for thieves to escape.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Liu, who was hiding on the beam, saw that the young lady and the two maids were about to fall asleep, so he wanted to turn over and come down after a while, tiptoeing to loot the property.

didn't think about it, before he turned over and went to the ground, he heard a sound of "bang",

A small hole had been pierced in the window paper of one of the windows of the room, and through the hole a bunch of pale yellow incense sticks emitting smoke came in.

Zhao Liu was very surprised in his heart, guessing that this was probably a snitch with the same purpose as him, with the purpose of stealing money.

That bunch of incense should have the effect of causing people to fall unconscious.

He was afraid that his rash action would scare the other party into making a noise and attracting guards.

He turned over and returned to the dark beam, carefully tore the cloth on the lower half of the cuffs, covered his mouth and nose, and watched the changes.

Soon, the incense stick had an effect, the two maids fell on the table and fell into a coma, and there was no sound at all in the sleeping tent of the young lady of the Xu family, and the whole room was terrifyingly quiet.

Zhao Liu faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but the incense stick still bypassed the cloth and seeped into his mouth and nose, making his mind a little blurry, his reaction was far slower than usual, and he couldn't control his limbs.

In a daze, he seemed to see Youdao's figure carrying a burden over the wall and entering the house, holding a few incense sticks in his hand, which were placed in all corners of the room.

After placing the incense sticks, the figure slowly walked to the front of the young lady of the Xu family's bed, and took out a ceramic jar with a narrow top and a wide bottom from the baggage, as well as a slender, narrow, and extremely sharp knife.

The man had words in his mouth, his voice was muddy and depressed, and he couldn't hear what he was talking about, but Zhao Liu clearly felt that there was an evil and terrifying atmosphere slowly brewing.

After a while, the man finished reciting the incantation, stretched out his hand and pointed to the tent, and the young lady of the Xu family jumped out of the tent, her eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if she was asleep, and knelt down in front of the figure.

Buzz –

Under the light of the candle, the sword light flashed,

The figure stopped and cut off the young lady of the Xu family, took out the baby and stuffed it into the ceramic jar.

The blood and qi surged, stabbing Zhao Liu on the beam, he noticed in horror that the young lady of the Xu family was like a clay puppet, and did not show any pain and fear,

Letting the blood flow, he still maintained a motionless kneeling position.

The ecstasy incense used by the bandits is at most only temporary to make people unconscious, and a splash of cold water is enough to wake up, let alone cut with a knife.

What that figure is using must be some kind of weird demon method!

Although Zhao Liu is just an idle lazy man who thinks about stealing money to buy wine all day long,

But witnessing this evil act of killing people and taking babies, they can't help but be blinded, filled with righteous indignation, regardless of their own safety, trying to shout to attract the guards.

It's a pity that the effect of the ecstasy incense is still there, Zhao Liu's body stiffly watched the figure take out the cork from the package, seal the ceramic jar, and ignore the body of the young lady of the Xu family who was kneeling, and pushed the door straight out.

After a while, Zhao Liu regained his senses,

He smelled the blood all over the room, and looked at the dead kneeling corpse,

Feelings of regret, anger and hatred came to my heart, and I turned over and jumped off the beam, pushed the door open, and chased the footsteps of the figure in the moonlight.

After walking all night, from Zhumulberry Town, all the way to the outside of Goose City,

happened to meet the goose city officials who went out of the city to find the corpses of the bandits buried by Li Ang and others.

Zhao Liu suddenly burst out, rushed forward to strangle his waist, and shouted loudly, attracting the officials, chaining the two of them and bringing them back to the government for interrogation.
