Chapter 5 Rat Venom
[The book continues from the above, the last book said that Zhao Liang was ordered to find the lost gold within fifteen days, and Zhao Liang, who had no choice but to go to Mu Qingming for help. was about to go out, and received a report again, but he still abandoned the case, which made Zhao Liang's head big. And the cat general who visited the small courtyard of the Mu family told Mu Qingming that he violated the agreement with the dragon lockers and entered the country just to chase and kill the rats. Zhao Liang received a report and rushed to the house of a wealthy merchant in the city, and found that what was discarded was still gold and silver jewelry, and there were no traces of damage to the doors and windows. But the old man in the family suddenly became demented after the discarding incident. In the small courtyard of the Mu family, General Cat mentioned that the rat spirit who fled from Annan into Yunnan was a mountain rat with profound demon magic. There were many crimes committed in Annan, and all the victims became demented after the crime, and soon the blood in their bodies turned into poisonous blood and died. 】
After sunset, the sunset in the sky gradually darkened and turned dark red. Zhao Liang followed his subordinates with a little reluctant trott forward, and came to the Biji shop again.
This time, although it was not the gold store that was stolen, it was also a quiet residence on Bijipu. The owner of the house is surnamed Zhu, known as Zhu Shopkeeper in this huge Kunming City, and is a relatively large grocer in the city, and is also secretly called a scum pig by others.
Although the Zhu family is not as deep as the Tang family tree that opened the gold shop, it is not poor, and the family background is not thin. In the city, it is also one of the richest families. Secretly, he also has a lot of dealings with the underworld gangsters inside and outside Kunming.
However, the reason why Master Zhu has that title is because there are many rumors in Kunming City, it is said that the shopkeeper Zhu is doing groceries on the surface, and occasionally makes some mountain goods, but in fact, he is secretly engaged in human trafficking.
At that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, and human life was like a mustard, and it was not worth a few dollars to sell it by the pound. It is already commonplace to sell children and even sell their bodies to bury their fathers, and even in the year of famine, some people will quietly carry out the behavior of eating different children. But what the Zhu family did was to rob without spending a penny.
As long as the daughter of any family is good-looking, has a bit of grace but has no power, then the Zhu family will use the guys to rob the woman alive, and then clearly mark the price and resell it to Qinglou all over the country.
It is even rumored that the Zhu family's secret deeds have already been done all over the country. Although Master Zhu is still hiding in Kunming City and living a comfortable life, his family is involved in the sale of human trafficking all over the country.
After that, in order to prevent the woman's family from reporting the crime, the Zhu family would kill all the men in the woman's family without exception, and sell the remaining women to the Qinglou. As for the men who were killed, they were naturally not buried in the deep mountains and old forests by the sinking pond. As a result, these cases of missing persons have all become unsolved cases without exception.
And in the city of Kunming, which is known as the Spring City, in addition to the officials and soldiers, their Zhu family does not provoke, and only the Salt Gang and the Horse Gang are the objects they dare not attack.
On the corner of Bijipu Street, there is a quiet Indian-style house far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, alone in the depths of the corner alley, that is, the Zhu family's house.
Don't look at the business that the Zhu family is secretly doing is not small, but Master Zhu is a bitch and has set up an archway, and has been living in this quiet small mansion, just to tell the world that the rumors are not credible, and his Zhu family is indeed just doing some grocery business, occasionally selling some mountain goods.
But Zhao Liang, who stood at the door of this house, knew that the Zhu family, which was located in a rare and quiet place in the downtown area, did all the unsightly things behind the scenes, which were by no means rumors.
Half of the unsolved cases of missing people in the provincial police department were handled by the Zhu family. It's just that there is no evidence, and the police have not been able to arrest the Zhu family.
For Zhao Liang, his disgust and resentment towards the Zhu family were only second only to Changshengdao.
When he was bathed in the bloody sun, stood in the depths of the narrow alley, and stood in front of the door of the Zhu family's house, he couldn't mention how happy he was. is hindered by the identity of the police, otherwise he would have to take matters into his own hands and clean up the scum of this family.
After a while, he walked slowly, with a faint smile on his face, to the house behind the quiet, full of dirty deals, and when he stepped into the patio, he heard the sound of sobbing, coming from the main room, and among them there was a smirk, which kept ringing.
Zhao Liang frowned when he heard this, and asked the policeman next to him, "Why are there still giggles?" ”。 Saying this, Zhao Liang raised his eyes and looked at the main house again.
I saw the fat-headed and big-eared shopkeeper Zhu, whose eyes were dull and unfocused, sitting cross-legged on the dim main room, grinning, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
But they didn't know how to wipe it, but from time to time the policemen who were scouting and collecting certificates around laughed stupidly.
"According to the Zhu family, since he lost something in the afternoon, Master Zhu has become like this." The police beside him whispered in Zhao Liang's ear.
This situation is the first time Zhao Liang has seen it, and his smile faded for a while, looking at Master Zhu, who was drooling like a stupid son, squinting and smiling, and groaned.
In the past, there has never been such a strange situation in the homes of the stolen people. Looking at the anxious Zhu family, surrounded by Master Zhu. The stupidity on his face and the lack of expression in his eyes are obviously not pretended.
This made Zhao Liang wonder how much money he had lost to make Master Zhu suddenly collapse like this?
"Have you counted it, how much property did the Zhu family lose at the bottom?" Zhao Liang grabbed the policeman who was about to leave and asked quietly, "Also, did the prisoner leave any traces?" ”。
"It is said that all the gold and silver objects are gone." The policeman stopped and shook his head: "Still no trace of the prisoner has been found." ”。
After a pause, the policeman added to Zhao Liang: "At least I haven't found it now." ”......
When night falls, the darkness covers the earth, and it also takes away the hustle and bustle of Kunming during the day. In the windswept Shala Alley, a few hoarse cat meows occasionally sounded, revealing a penetrating poignancy in the dark night.
In the courtyard of the small courtyard of the wooden family, there are a few fallen leaves that rotate straight up in the wind.
On the main house, an oil lamp was already lit. Under the dim light emitted by the bean-sized lamp, there were not many fish and shrimp left on the table. The cat general, who was silently eating and drinking, slowly raised his head, glanced timidly, and had already put away his angry pen, but hurriedly lowered his head.
She is still a little jealous of the wonderful pen that once exuded a genuine murderous aura to her.
"It's a rat spirit, a mountain rat spirit that has been cultivated for hundreds of years." Lowering his head to General Mao, he didn't have the courage to raise his head again, he kept hanging his head, and said slowly in a soft voice that everyone could only hear: "In the realm of Annan, I have the blessing of the divine power of the temple, and I can only have a tie with him." He also escaped from Annan to avoid my pursuit. But when I leave the temple in my physical body, without the blessing of the temple's divine power, the demonic power will be greatly reduced. But this rat is not like that, so I have to ask for your help. ”。
Having said that, General Cat raised his head again, looked directly at Mu Qing on the opposite side, and shouted urgently: "Young Master Mu, I am not sincere in violating the treaty with the Dragon Lock People. It's really a last resort, this rat spirit has killed dozens of people in Annan, and he can't be left alone. ”。
As she shouted, the anxiety on her face grew heavier and heavier.
"I see." Mu Qingming closed his eyes slightly, nodded slowly, and did not rush to agree to General Mao, but pointed to the wrench on the table, and then asked, "Then how did you know the ghost city lord?" ”。
"After the rat spirits arrived in central Yunnan, they all went to the ghost market to sell stolen goods. And he is very cunning, he will use the bewitching illusions of the goblins, control others to trade for him, and never show up. General Cat clenched his fists angrily, and on the back of his hand, which was originally white and smooth, a piece of cat hair suddenly appeared, completely covering the back of her hand.
Without the blessing of the temple's divine power, the cat general's demonic aura is so weak that once he gets angry, he will show the characteristics of the prototype.
"General Cat, one last question, is the rat spirit you are chasing and killing specifically stealing the money of some rich people?" Mu Qingming immediately asked, and also pulled the cat general back from his anger.
"Well, yes." The cat hair on the back of General Cat's hand faded, revealing the white and smooth back of his hand again, and the sharp claws that grew out slowly retracted: "Although I know that he is doing the right thing for heaven, those who are rich and unkind should never be dealt with by him." Those people are mortals, and mortals should naturally deal with these things on their own, and we should not interfere. ”。
Mu Qingming was silent after hearing this; He was almost certain that the recent theft in the city, Eight Achievements, was the work of the rat spirit.
Mu Qingming fought from the bottom of his heart, unwilling to kill such a monster. Although their actions and actions go to extremes, they do not do anything that hurts the good people.
It's just that the duty lies, and General Cat also begged for him, and Mu Qingming can't ignore it. The only way to do this is to capture this mountain rat spirit alive, and then let General Cat take him back to Annan to discipline him well.
Just as he was about to nod his head in agreement, Miaobi suddenly asked, "General Cat, you said that the mountain rats not only steal things, but also hurt people, how did you hurt people?" ”。
General Cat trembled when she heard this, and she was still afraid of Miaobi, and only after a while did she quietly reply: "I don't know how he hurt people, but in the homes of people he has stolen, the worst person will become demented and stupid after losing things." Not long after, the person's blood will turn to poisonous blood and die. ”。
Before General Cat's words landed, Mu Qingming, who had a solemn face, frowned and said slowly: "It's rat poison." ”。
He is the only dragon locker in the audience who has ever dealt with the rat spirit. Don't look at the fact that there are a lot of rats in this world, there may be very few who have become essences, and it is not easy to meet a rat spirit who has cultivated into essence than to go to the Northeast to see Wong Tai Sin.
Mu Qingming, who was still a teenager at the time, went out to practice at the order of his parents and completed the task of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles.
He has traveled all over the mountains and rivers of China; When he traveled to the boundary of Xuancheng in Anhui Province, he encountered a gray-haired mouse as large as a buffalo, and its legs were like elephants, and the chest and tail were white.
Mu Qingming took a closer look, and knew that this was the donkey rat recorded in the ancient books, and the locals have always rumored that this thing was the messenger of the donkey mountain god.
But at that time, Mu Qingming saw that it was spitting fishy green gas from the mouth of the woodcutter in the mountains, which was rat poison.
For rat spirits, spitting rat venom is the instinct of their demon race. Just like the yellow skin of a weasel, it will emit an aerosol-like liquid with a strange smell, which is instinctive.
It's just rat poison, which is more poisonous than the misty liquid that emits a strange smell from the yellow skin. Once it enters the human body, anyone's blood will completely turn into poisonous blood and die within two or three days.
