Chapter 45: One hundred thousand

"Are you sure? Did you see it with your own eyes? ”

I didn't expect Zhao Tiezhu to provide me with such an important information at this time, so I immediately stepped forward and asked excitedly.

"Well, although it was dark at the time, I could still see clearly that the clothes he was wearing were the Taoist robes that Liu Zhenren wore during the day, and from the point of view of his figure, it was indeed Liu Zhenren, and I had a feeling that when I took the express back to the village that day, the person who followed me was this Liu Zhenren, although there is no evidence, but I guess it should be so."

Zhao Tiezhu seemed to be caught in his memories, and said slowly with a frown, but at this time, the eyes of me and Officer Yang fell on Lin Yingxue, because if Liu Zhenren really came out last night, who was Lin Yingxue monitoring last night?

Lin Yingxue didn't believe it at all, and immediately stood up and said to us: "This is impossible! I carefully inspected Liu Zhenren's house yesterday, his house has no yard, only a relatively large bungalow, and the bungalow also has only one door, all the windows are on the side of the gate, it is absolutely impossible to escape from my surveillance and quietly escape! ”

Seeing Lin Yingxue so excited, Zhao Tiezhu hurriedly smiled and said, "That's the case, that's probably because I'm dazzled." ”

Officer Yang and I both understood in our hearts that Zhao Tiezhu was not mistaken, I'm afraid that last night, Liu Zhenren really slipped out from under Lin Yingxue's nose, as for what he was going to do, I don't know, but if he really came out last night, then he is definitely the number one suspect!

We didn't continue to dwell on this issue, at this time, Zhao Tiezhu's girlfriend also came over with a pot of porridge and a few steaming steamed buns, and I was hungry for a day when I saw this simple breakfast, and I didn't care about being polite, and I ate with Officer Yang and Lin Yingxue.

On the way to eat, I quietly called Zhao Tiezhu aside, and carefully asked about the specific time I saw Liu Zhenren last night, and he said that he didn't remember it very clearly, probably from ten o'clock to eleven o'clock.

And I carefully recalled the time when I found Li Jianmin's body and was in a coma yesterday, it seems that it was almost eleven o'clock, that is to say, this Liu Zhenren has the time to commit the crime.

After breakfast, after I thanked Zhao Tiezhu, I followed Officer Yang and Lin Yingxue out of Zhao Tiezhu's house, and walked towards the village chief's house.

At this time, the village of Montenegro is particularly quiet, although it is only nine o'clock now, many people in the city are still sleeping, but the villagers in the countryside generally wake up very early, this time should be the most lively time, presumably most people should go to Liu Zhenren to theorize.

When we arrived at the village chief's house, sure enough, the village chief was not at home at this time, only the village chief's daughter-in-law was busy in the house, I changed a pair of shoes and a pair of clothes, and went out to the village chief's house, and saw that the village chief's daughter-in-law was packing a suitcase at this time, most of which were men's clothes, as if she was packing the village chief's luggage.

I was puzzled and stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, what are you doing here?" Is the village chief going away? ”

The village chief's daughter-in-law was sweating profusely, turned her head and smiled at me: "Ji Wen, you are here, yes, my old man said that tomorrow after the water on the road is dry, he will go to the city, it seems that he is going to have a meeting, and he will go for about a month, let me prepare a month's change of clothes and money in advance, the next village just called, the road has been dredged, and it will definitely be opened to traffic tomorrow. ”

After chatting with the village chief's daughter-in-law a few more words, I went out and found that Officer Yang and Lin Yingxue were already waiting at the door, and we didn't say anything, we got up and walked towards Liu Zhenren's home, but I vaguely felt that the village chief didn't leave this time because of a meeting, it must be because of some other reasons I don't know.

Liu Zhenren's house lives relatively far away, and we walked for a while to arrive, but at this time, Liu Zhenren's lonely bungalow has completely surrounded the villagers of Black Mountain Village, and hundreds of villagers form a human-shaped wall.

From afar, I heard that inside the house, Liu Zhenren seemed to be arguing with the village chief, and there were a large number of villagers following the village chief to crusade against Liu Zhenren, but the quarrel did not seem to be very intense, far less serious than I imagined.

The three of us struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and when we arrived at Liu Zhenren's house, we saw Liu Zhenren sitting cross-legged on a futon like an old monk, while the village chief and some villagers gathered around him, as if they were anxiously waiting for something.

"Village Chief, what's wrong?" Seeing this, I didn't understand a little and went up to ask the village chief, but the village chief didn't pay attention to me, just waved his hand at me and signaled me not to speak.

I was wondering what to do, when I saw Liu Zhenren, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, and said with a sigh of relief: "Calculate it, it turns out that there is more than one demon in this village!" ”

Hearing this, I immediately understood, the villagers of this group of Black Mountain Village were deceived by this Liu Zhenren enough? Are you ready to believe his nonsense again?

I really couldn't stand it anymore, and was about to reason with Liu Zhenren, but Lin Yingxue grabbed me, and then pretended to admire it and said, "Liu Zhenren, how do you explain this?" ”

Liu Zhenren glanced up at Lin Yingxue, snorted coldly, and then turned to the village chief and said: "As we all know, the demons that lurked into Black Mountain Village before have been wiped out by me on the spot, but people are not as good as heaven, who would have thought that under the ancestral grave of my Black Mountain Village, there is still a demon who has been sleeping for many years!" ”

Liu Zhenren said, stood up from the futon, swept over everyone present with cold eyes, and said slowly: "Probably none of you know, why did my Black Mountain Village choose the ancestral grave on that wasteland?" That's because many years ago, a master once passed by my Black Mountain Village, and found that Black Mountain Village was being ravaged by a thousand-year-old female ghost, and the people were struggling to survive, and the master finally cast a spell to seal the thousand-year-old female ghost, and arranged for the Black Mountain Village to bury the deceased dead in the wasteland where the female ghost was sealed, which was used to suppress the female ghost, so the Black Mountain Village was able to develop until now. ”

Liu Zhenren said it was like a fantasy novel, the voice and the storyteller had a fight, the eyes of the surrounding villagers were worth it, everyone had an expression of increasing knowledge, Liu Zhenren also liked the current state very much, and continued: "But who would have thought that in our generation, someone's burial cemetery broke the seal laid by the master back then, resulting in the release of the thousand-year-old female ghost, so last night, Zhang Guozhong died tragically!" And the cemetery where the seal was broken was Li Jianmin's graveyard! ”

The broken and flawed words made the villagers convinced, only to see that the villagers suddenly realized one by one, and they were completely fascinated by Liu Zhenren's words.

"So what to do?"

"Yes, Liu Zhenren, you are a living immortal, you must save us!"

In the face of everyone's inquiry, Liu Zhenren showed an unfathomable smile on his face, and said: "Don't panic about this, there must be a way, the first way is that all the villagers of Black Mountain Village will immediately move out of here, as long as everyone leaves Black Mountain Village, the thousand-year-old female ghost will no longer trouble you." ”

Most of the villagers of these Black Mountain villages have lived for most of their lives, and if they are asked to move out at this time, no one will agree, and everyone immediately asks if there is any other way.

Liu Zhenren was waiting for this sentence, and said with a smile: "Of course, there is a second way, that is, the deity will negotiate with the thousand-year-old female ghost tonight, let her sleep and cultivate again, and ascend to heaven as soon as possible in the future." ”

"That's a good idea! Then trouble Liu Zhenren! The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this, and the villagers behind him also responded one after another.

I looked at this group of ignorant villagers, and felt a wave of helplessness and sadness in my heart, this Liu Zhenren obviously planned to continue to make money under the banner, but why are these people so convinced?

Sure enough, Liu Zhenren then pretended to be embarrassed: "But this practice will consume the vitality of the deity, I'm afraid..."

The village chief immediately understood and said, "How much does Liu Zhenren need, is it still the same as last time, 20,000?" Don't worry, we'll get you right away! ”

"This time it's different, last time it was just a little demon and a little devil, but this time it's a thousand-year-old female ghost, and if you don't know it, the deity will have to lose her life."

When the village chief saw that Liu Zhenren wanted to add money, he was stunned at first, and then said, "What does Liu Zhenren mean?" ”

"One hundred thousand! As long as you can scrape together 100,000 for the deity, the deity will stay at home all night tonight,"

I said in my heart that this Liu Zhenren really dared to open his teeth, and I didn't expect that Liu Zhenren actually pit the villagers for 20,000 yuan last time! TM: You're making too much money, aren't you? I'm only 10,000 yuan after I am busy, and you can get 100,000 yuan by talking nonsense? This is really more popular than people!

Hearing Liu Zhenren ask for 100,000 yuan, the village chief looked embarrassed at that time, and Liu Zhenren didn't seem to give the village chief room to discuss at all, so he turned his head and said: "If you don't have money, then everyone should run for your life, I can't control this matter." ”

Liu Zhenren's threat was completely fatal to the villagers, the village chief turned his head and went out to discuss with the villagers again, and then returned to Liu Zhenren's side with a decadent face and said: "Okay, after a while, we will raise money from the whole village and send this 100,000 yuan over, I hope Liu Zhenren can do it immediately to protect my Black Mountain Village through the disaster!" ”
