As soon as Gao Sheng's words box was opened, he couldn't hold it: "What can you do innate with?" Which of our Ming Dynasty's six-rank military attachés is not congenital cultivation, and which civil official is not a third-class jinshi. It is said that the innate true qi of military attachés can kill demons and eliminate demons, and the heroic righteousness of civil officials suppresses evil and drives away evil spirits. Of the five county commanders of Zhenshui County, three were civil officials and two were martial artists. As a result, not a single one was left alive. Especially the two generals in the back, not only hung up themselves, but also took in more than 300 personal soldiers. I'm just going to have this monkey-like master with me. Do I dare to go in, me? ”

The more Gao Sheng spoke, the more excited he became: "Look at those officials outside, if I hadn't spent a lot of money, they wouldn't have come back to work on errands." When I become an official, I not only lose money, but I also have to lose my life if I don't get it right. ”

Mei Xin'er said with a grin: "Are you so afraid of death and still come to be an official?" ”

"If it weren't for the last resort, the bastard would have come!" Gao Sheng scolded: "I waited for five years to fill the vacancy, and finally there was a vacancy or a stupid shortage, a dead shortage." Those eight lambs in the ministry did not say that I was the destiny of Hongfu Qitian, and said that I was okay when I came. It's okay, grandma's claws! ”

Xie Bangui suddenly spoke: "How did your predecessors die?" ”

"They don't say it!" Gao Sheng pointed to the officials outside the door and gritted his teeth and said, "These boys are so frightened that they don't even dare to say it." If I continue to push it, I will have to stop doing the rake, and I still have a black eye. ”

Xie Bangui said: "Are the bodies of those people still there?" ”

Lao Qian said: "The previous county commander Gao Chongyue has been dead for less than half a month, and the body should still be there, and the others don't know." ”

"Let's take a look!" Xie Bangui walked out first without saying a word.

Mei Xin'er pouted and followed behind: "What is there to see about the dead?" ”

"Maybe we can find some clues. At least the level of the evil thing can be deduced, and the inferior evil thing can only confuse people and send people to their own death. High-level, or even cultivated, evil things are different. There are all kinds of means to harm people, and even in broad daylight, they can go straight to the yamen and Taoist temples. ”

While speaking, the group had already walked to the gate of Yizhuang, and the corpses of Gao Chongyue and more than two hundred elite soldiers were discharged dozens of zhang away on the ground of Yizhuang. Although the body did not stink, it lay stiffly under the white cloth. It's chilling to look at.

Xie Bangui walked in front of Gao Chongyue's corpse: "Look at the bones, his cultivation should be passable?" ”

"Beginning to the naivety." Lao Qian said: "Coupled with the family heirloom sword, it is generally not an opponent in the middle of the congenital period." ”

Xie Bangui waved his hand and said, "After the martial artist's body is combed by the innate true qi, it will become extremely strong. Even if you use a horse, you can't stop pulling your hands and feet. This person died from the 'five horses splitting the corpse', it seems that the thing he started is not ordinary! ”

Xie Bangui fiddled with the corpse and said, "Has anyone in the nearby villagers heard the sound of fighting, or the sound of screams?" ”

"Nope!" Lao Qian affirmed: "I asked them, and they said that they didn't hear anything except the sound of water and wind. ”

Before Xie Bangui could speak, Mei Xin'er on the side spoke first: "These people seem to be hanged?" ”

"He was hanged."

"Is there a difference? It's not all strangulation. ”

Xie Bangui shook his head and said: "It's different, the neck bone of a hanged person will not be broken, and even if it is broken, it will not be broken so badly." Look at the necks of these corpses, the neck bones are all broken, and some of them are even connected with a layer of skin. Such a wound can only be caused by tightening the rope vigorously after the neck has been strangled. ”

"What is this?" Xie Bangui's finger stopped on the back of a sergeant's neck, and the man's neck was imprinted with a mark in the shape of an arrow of about five inches, and a red circle was drawn near the top of the mark.

Lao Qian smacked his mouth and said, "I look like a death card behind a death row prisoner." ”

After Xie Bangui tore off the sergeant's waist card and glanced at it, he leaned over and looked at the mark for a long time, and threw the waist card to Mei Xin'er: "See for yourself!" ”

Mei Xin'er was surprised: "The waist card is written on the school captain Wang Xiaowu...... Hey, there are words on the imprint, criminal, Wang Xiaowu. How so? ”

After Xie Bangui looked at more than a dozen sergeants, he looked at Gao Sheng with burning eyes.

Gao Sheng was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "Brother, don't look at me like that, my heart is furious." ”

Xie Bangui walked over in a few steps: "Let me see your neck." ”

"Don't ...... Brother......" Gao Sheng lowered his head and cried: "Brother, do you have anything around my neck?" ”

"Nope!"

"It's good that it's not! Thank God. Gao Sheng wiped his cold sweat and said, "Old Qian, come here, I'll show you." ”

Old Qian waved his hand and said, "How can I have it?" I don't have any. We all came together, you don't have it, how can I have it. ”

Gao Sheng grabbed his head and said, "That's what I said." ”

Xie Bangui said: "What about those people before? Neither do they. ”

"I'll have to ask about this. Or Lao Chen, who collected the corpse. Lao Qian volunteered: "Let's go, I'll take you to him." ”

There have been so many things happening in Zhenshui County, no one dares to live near the county government, and the place where Qi Zuo and Lao Chen live is not close to the county government, and it was already past noon when Xie Bangui and they arrived.

Before Xie Bangui entered the courtyard, he saw two pairs of feet swaying back and forth on the ground from outside the hidden gate. I looked up along the shadow, but saw the man and the corpse collector hanging from the poplar tree in the yard from left to right.

The corpse's face was pale, his teeth were clenched, and red blood trickled down the corners of his mouth and fell on the front of his clothes, staining the shirts of the two people blood-red.

The wine and food on the table in the courtyard were still warm, and there were scattered blood stains on the plate, and a mouthful of wine mixed with blood was spurted out far away.

Gao Sheng's face turned pale: "This ...... It's ......"

"The old man is on the left, and the old man is on the right. The two of them were drinking, but they were strangled by the rope that flew in from outside the wall, and they were strangled before they could finish a sip of wine, and blood sprayed on the old man's face along with the wine. The two men were strangled and lifted up almost instantly. Well, it should be lifted straight up and down, and if there is dragging, the wine and food on the table should not be free of traces of collision. The man flew in and scraped the bench, so the place where the bench fell to the ground was not far from the table. "Old Qian acted as a servant, analyzing the murder scene little by little.

Xie Bangui kept looking up at the sky with his shoulders hugged, and only after a long time did he say, "Put the corpses down and see if there is any mark of the death card on the back of their necks, and if there is anything in their mouths." ”

"I'll come, I'll come ......" Gao Sheng volunteered: "How can you work my sister with such rough work as putting corpses?" ”

Mei Xin'er blinked her eyes and said, "Why aren't you afraid." ”

"I'm not afraid of what I can see, I'm afraid of not being able to see." Gao Sheng said very seriously: "It's not terrible to die, even if I watch the knife cut my head, I'm not afraid." I'm afraid of death! Think about it, you know that there is nothing around you, but you are suddenly choked by the neck, and you don't know what is choking you when you are dying. Are you afraid? ”

"It's kind of scary!" Mei Xin'er also shuddered: "Look! After reading it, we hurried away, I didn't want to stay longer for a while. ”

After looking at the corpse carefully, Lao Qian said: "There is a death card mark on the back of the neck, and there is nothing in the mouth, but the tongue and teeth are broken, as if he bit something before he died." ”

Xie Bangui glanced at the sky again: "Let's go, go and see if there is an autopsy form in the Yamen dossier, maybe you can find something." ”
