Xie Bangui's gaze circled the room twice, and finally landed on the wardrobe in the corner: "Open the cabinet!" ”

The fat man carried Fang Tian's halberd far away and inserted the tip of the halberd into the crack of the cabinet door, and with a twist of his wrist, the cabinet door was shattered in half. Literature''

The corpse, in addition to being swollen and white, was almost squeezed into an angular square by the cabinet, and it appeared that it had been forcibly stuffed into the closet before it drowned. Otherwise, his corpse would not have naturally deformed according to the specifications of the wardrobe.

"And the dead?" The fat man looked back at Xie Bangui.

Xie Bangui said: "There should be other corpses in the house, let's look for them." ”

"There's a ...... here" Li Xiaoxin turned out a floating corpse from the box, the corpse rushed down on all fours, the body was folded in half, like a bulging quilt was squeezed into the box, and the brain was weirdly pulled to the middle of the face straight to the ceiling, and the whole face was flattened by the lid of the box, but the eyes were round and round.

Li Xiaoxin couldn't help but shudder: "This person was also drowned?" ”

"I guess I drowned after being knocked into a box." Lao Qian stabbed the joints of the corpse with a dagger: "All the limbs have been broken, and the strength of the shot is not small." ”

Xiao Cai, who jumped on the beam, shouted, "There is a corpse on the roof of the shed. ”

The corpse on the roof of the shed looked like a corpse that had just died, not yet fully swollen, and it was half-stuck at the interface between the ceiling and the beams, and its two hands were clasped to the wall, and a few fingers had even been broken in the wall, and the scene looked like a floating corpse swept into the cracks of the stones.

Li Xiaoxin just wanted to go up and get the body down, but he tripped over something under his feet. When he looked down, he saw half of his fingers sticking out of the mud blocking his toes.

The last corpse in the room was buried under the table, and the dirt that covered the corpse was like a swamp a few feet square, which could sink a few inches with a slight step on it. Li Xiaoxin didn't take much effort to dig up the corpse.

Xie Bangui asked the five corpses to be placed side by side in the middle of the room, and reached out to grab the master who was paralyzed into mud: "Can you recognize who it is?" ”

"I can't see it, I can't see it...... "The master didn't dare to look at the corpse at all.

Lao Qian pushed away the musket and put it on the master's head, and said gloomily: "Show me carefully." Besides, I can't see it, be careful that the master puts you there! ”

"This master, don't embarrass me!" The master was so frightened that tears flowed: "Do those corpses still have a human appearance?" Who can tell? ”

Xie Bangui waved his hand: "Except for Yang Xin, those corpses are all wearing the clothes of the officials, are there any officials in your county who have not been on duty recently?" ”

"Adults are not going to be promoted, who will be on duty?" Before the master finished speaking, Lao Qian's musket followed and pushed forward, so frightened that the master shouted: "I'll go to check, I'll check ......."

Lao Qian said coldly: "Give you a stick of incense time, if you don't understand, I will send you back to the west immediately." ”

"Yes, yes......" As soon as the master left, Li Xiaoxin shouted: "My lord, there is a hole in the wall." ”

The hole in the wall was blocked behind a box, and it was not revealed until Li Xiaoxin moved the body just now. There were two knee-pressed scratches on the ground outside the hole, and a few footprints in the distance, which looked like someone had climbed out of the hole and ran over the outer wall.

Xie Bangui walked near the wall hole and touched it a few times: "The hole seems to have been dug out with a knife, and there are still people in the house who have escaped?" Go find the master......"

In order to save his life, the master didn't use half a pillar of incense, so he got all the three classes of officials to the county office. After the order, there were five fewer people. Immediately shouted angrily: "Where did those five people go? ”

The head catcher stood up: "Some time ago, Lord Yang said that he wanted to take a few people out, so I chose five clever brothers to follow him, and after Lord Yang came back, I didn't see them order, saying that I was going to do something for my lord......"

"Where did they go? Haven't you seen those five people since? Xie Bangui walked over briskly from behind.

The head catcher looked Xie Bangui up and down and said, "Who are you?" ”

Xie Bangui lit up the waist card of the bright brocade guard: "Say!" ”

"Yes, yes......" The head catcher was startled and hurriedly said: "Listening to Lord Yang, it seems that he is going to Wujia Village." I haven't heard him mention what exactly to do. At that time, I just thought that his face was a little unpleasant, and the little one didn't ask much. ”

Xie Bangui asked again, "What about after they come back?" I haven't seen anyone for two months, and you don't ask? The family members of those officials didn't come to ask? ”

The head catcher cautiously said: "We don't want to ask too much about the adult's affairs." Again...... Again...... Lord Yang has always been strict, and if he asks too much, he is afraid that he will be punished. As for those brothers...... Lord Yang specially instructed at that time to find someone who was not dragged down by the family, those brothers were all lonely, and there were a few ......"

"Ahem...... "The master coughed dryly a few times, signaling the head catcher not to talk nonsense.

Lao Qian sneered: "How many of them are still found on the street, right?" ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

The fat man waved his hand and said, "Let's go down!" Go and inquire about me, in the recent period, who has seen those officials, and when they heard about it, they came back immediately and told me that the lord has a heavy reward. ”

After the fat man drove away the third class of officials, he came up and said, "Brother, I think this matter is a bit evil!" Five of the six people died, all of them drowned. How can a person be drowned in a house? ”

Xie Bangui frowned and said: "It's not strange that people are drowned in the house, and the water monsters and water ghosts with a slightly higher path can do it." I'm just curious about how the official who ran out of digging survived. As it had just happened, the house was completely submerged in the water. Why is that person okay? ”

"Maybe he has a treasure on him that can keep out the water." Xiao Cai said: "If you find that person, you will understand everything." ”

"That's right!"

Xie Bangui groaned slightly, "Let's allocate the manpower." Xiao Cai, you take Xiao Xin, Lao Qian and that master to Wujia Village. Find a way to inquire about the water nest. I always felt weird there. Maybe the stolen gold is hidden there. The fat man and I will wait for news, and whether we can find the official or not, we will rush to meet you in three days. "What about me! Ouyang Momo, who was neglected, was extremely dissatisfied.

Xie Bangui said solemnly: "You go home and sleep, don't follow this muddy water." ”

"That's not good, without me, you're not afraid that Ren Chongyun will use the wooden armor mechanism against you again?" Momo threw a wink at Xiao Cai and said, "It doesn't matter if something happens to you stinky men, if my father-in-law is a fool of ......."

"Ahem...... Then you guys, don't delay the case because of me! Xie Bangui picked up the fat man and ran, so angry that Xiao Cai stomped his feet again and again.

The official who escaped was called Wang Sen, who was a "lonely ghost and wild ghost" with no grave or temple in Hekou County, and usually relied on part-time jobs and petty theft to make a living. If it weren't for the county order being too urgent, the head catcher would not have thought of getting him into the county government to make up for the lack of a government officer.

Wang Sen originally thought that he would be able to eat and wear without worrying about food and clothing in this life, but he didn't expect to meet a real evil ghost within ten days of blocking the officials. Although he escaped with his life, where can a person like him, who doesn't even have a nest, go? In the end, he can only return to the land temple where he used to live.

Wang Sen finally suffered a day at the gate of the land temple, saw the moonlight climb up the willow tops, as if he suddenly thought of something, a few steps into the temple, the land that fell behind the offering table upright back to the original position, there were a few stolen cold steamed buns from his arms and placed on the offering table, and he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"Grandpa the land blesses, grandpa the land blesses...... For the sake of the villain, I have honored you for many years...... No, for the sake of being your companion for many years...... You must bless the villain......"

Wang Sen knocked his head loudly, but the doors and windows of the Land Temple were bumped behind him. Immediately the temple became invisible.

"The land is blessed, the land is blessed......" Kneeling on the ground, Wang Sen kowtowed desperately as if he was crazy.

Suddenly, five or six holes the size of springs suddenly cracked around Wang Sen, and a large amount of sediment-covered river water gushed straight up from the springs, and the water that rose more than two feet above the ground continued to tumble as if it were boiling. The water vapor was cold and biting, like a thin layer of smoke slowly transpiring and spreading in the Earth Temple.

Standing outside the temple gate, although you can hear the sound of water bubbles rolling in the temple, you can't see a drop of river water seeping out.

Strangely, the churning river gave way to a clearing several feet in size around Wang Sen, just enough to accommodate him to kneel inside and kowtow for help. It wasn't until the water didn't reach the top of Wang Sen's head five feet before it closed in the middle of the four sides, holding him inside like a cover.

Finally, Wang Sen made it to the ground, stared blankly at the few unkempt heads that came out of the spring, and muttered, "Here it is again, here it is again...... The land lord didn't stop them......"

Wang Sen suddenly roared hoarsely: "Why are you willing to let me go? ”

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, he......y, he

The earth statue floated like a jellyfish with its tentacles outstretched, rising from front to back, and four human hands with pale skin and black nails emerged from the center of the chaos.

The four palms gripped the edge of the silk and slowly opened a black hole in all directions, and a monkey-like face emerged. Bared Bai Sensen's teeth and sneered: "Hand over the things, and I will spare you!" ”

Wang Sen subconsciously touched his chest and shouted, "You lie to me, hand over that bead and I will die now." ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" The water monkey monster who squatted on the ground statue with his four hands on his body laughed, "If I don't hand you over, I'm going to die." Water-repellent beads are used many times. Don't you think it's pushing the water farther and thwart? When the number runs out, you'll die a miserable death. ”

"Please, let me go?" Wang Sen pleaded: "You have already killed five people......

"Will they let you go?" The water monkey pointed to the unjust spirits who swam beside Wang Sen like fish and said, "If you hadn't stolen the water beads, they wouldn't have turned into water ghosts." ”

"I, I, I ......"

Those water ghosts who were floating around Wang Sen like floating corpses suddenly turned their heads to look at Wang Sen, and red blood gushed out along the seven orifices, instantly blurring his vision. No matter where Wang Sen looked, it was blood-red, and countless miserable white palms shook in front of his eyes from time to time in the bloody water, as if they could penetrate the protection of water droplets at any time, pulling him into the dark and turbid river water and tearing him to pieces.

"Spare me, spare me......"

"Spare you?" The water monkey's claws forcibly pressed the membrane protecting Wang Sen's body, and although he couldn't penetrate the protection, he forcibly broke Wang Sen's arm and put his face in front of Wang Sen's eyes: "Why should I spare you?" You've killed a lot of people, and they're not going to spare your ......"
