Nian Chengkai obviously didn't believe in any powerful ghosts, he felt that the yamen was a place to investigate, but now it is the Republic of China, and there is no yamen. So he asked the old man if he knew where the people in the yamen lived in the past?

The old man said: "There is a Yang Catcher, who lives in Taiping Town on the other side of the mountain, and he used to be a god catcher, I heard that the local police still ask him from time to time, you can inquire about it." ”

The two immediately stopped eating, and immediately rode to Taiping Town, the so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, and it was already evening when the two rode to Taiping Town. Coincidentally, as soon as the two entered the old city gate of Taiping Town, they saw a policeman patrolling the street, and immediately asked him where Yang Zhukuai lived?

The police were also enthusiastic, telling the two that there was a small mansion next to the old yamen, where Yang Yukuai lived, and now he had nothing to do, except for sometimes going to the police station to hang around, the rest of the time was at home reading books and raising birds.

The two rode to the small house next to the old yamen, and saw an old man who had just come out with a chair and a teapot in his hand. The old man did not sit down when he saw the two of them, but focused his attention entirely on the two of them, and although he was old, his eyes were still sharp.

After Nian Chengkai got off the horse, he hugged his fists and said, "May I ask if it is Lord Yang Catch?" ”

Yang Chukuai also responded with a fist: "What adult, I'm just a bad old man, I don't know what the two friends call me?" ”

After Wei Chiran and Nian Chengkai revealed their names, they just said that they were cultivators, and Yang Zhuai quickly said: "The two of you should be from different ways, right?" ”

Nian Chengkai smiled: "The predecessor is really good eyesight." ”

Yang Zhuai said quickly: "You are also here for the affairs of Majiazhuang, right?" ”

Wei Chiran was puzzled: "How do you see it?" ”

Yang Yu stepped forward quickly, pointed to the pollen and residual petals on their clothes and said: "This season, only Majiazhuang will bloom flowers, you have been to Majiazhuang and found me, obviously for there." ”

Nian Chengkai said: "I want to ask Yang Kuai, the details of the Majiazhuang murder case back then." ”

Yang Zhu said quickly: "Come in and talk about it." ”

After the two entered the house, Yang Zhu quickly made tea for them, and then told the truth of the year: "That incident, I didn't investigate, it was my master, my master was the head catcher at that time, surnamed Chen, a single name is an idle word, I don't know if it's the reason for the name, he is really idle for most of his life, he handled such a big case, and he didn't do it clearly, so he hastily closed the case." ”

Chen Xian was the catcher of Taiping Town at that time, maybe because the name of this town was added to his name, so Chen Xian almost never handled any major cases, because the days were too calm like water, so calm that he almost forgot that he was a catcher, and he had nothing to do with the catchers below all day long, and he was looking forward to a case.

When the Majiazhuang case happened, they didn't know, it was completely after the victim's family came to report the case, they knew that someone was missing, in that era, there were not a few people who disappeared, but the family said that after the person went to Majiazhuang, they became interested.

Why?

The local people know about Majiazhuang, and they all know that there is a lot of evil in that place, and many people in Xiejiazhuang are also missing in Majiazhuang, and the yamen sent people to look for it, but no one was found. Later, the yamen naturally thought that there was an evil sect in that place, and their power could not control it, and they did not want to expand the situation, so sometimes they hastily closed the case.

Wei Chiran asked: "Settle the case hastily?" Isn't that a bit ......"

Yang Zhu said quickly: "The matter of Majiazhuang, to put it bluntly, at that time, everyone knew that it was too much, and the court knew, after all, it was just to arrest those leaders, but I didn't expect to make the so-called popular rebellion, killed so many people, and burned Zhuangzi, the worst thing is that the magistrate at that time, later it was called a miserable, and the court did not reuse him, and he returned to his hometown after a few years. ”

When Nian Chengkai heard this, he immediately asked the magistrate about some information from his hometown, and after recording it, he asked, "Then why did your master go to investigate the disappearance case at that time?" ”

Yang Zhu said quickly: "If there is a case, you have to investigate, if you don't investigate, you can't do it, even if you go to see a scene, so they went, a group of people caught fast, seven or eight people went together, after going there, I smelled blood from afar, looking for the smell to look for it, and found that there was a poor man hanging on the tree who was skinned and cramped, the scene was called a miserable, according to my master, many new catchers vomited at that time, and it was also the first such a terrible homicide that my master encountered since he was on an errand, and it was simply not something that people could do. ”

It wasn't done by a human being, so what is it?

Because after the corpse was skinned, all the muscles and flesh on the front side were peeled off, revealing the bones of Bai Sensen inside, as if the muscles were clothes, and someone had directly peeled off the clothes, and there was only a small amount of blood on the ground at the scene, and it was impossible for a person to have only such a little blood. According to the perspective of the case, people were not killed here, but were killed elsewhere and finally hung here.

After Chen Zhutou investigated the scene, he was stunned and found no clues, so in the end, he could only endure the nausea and fear with the other catchers, untie the body from the tree, and hand it over to the family for burial.

Nian Chengkai asked: "If the murderer is not found, how did you close the case?" ”

"I found it, but ......" Yang Zhu sighed when he said this, "but it's not the real murderer, it's a murderer in the surrounding villages, and it did kill people, anyway, it's all a death, just plant that case on his head, it can be regarded as an explanation to the victim's family, otherwise the family will not be at ease, after all, there is really no way to investigate that case." ”

In fact, it was because rumors spread at that time, all of them said that it was done by the resentful spirit of Majiazhuang, who could do such a thing except the resentful spirit? The government was worried that this kind of thing would happen again in the future, so it immediately set up a notice that no one was allowed to go to the ruins of Majiazhuang again, and once it was discovered, it would be severely punished.

With the notice of the government, coupled with the rumors of evil spirits, no one went to the ruins of Majiazhuang now, everyone walked around, eager to bypass the mountain behind, and that river, except for the people of Xiejiazhuang, people from other places also tried to stay away, and they all went upstream to fish and net, anyway, they resolutely did not approach the boundary where Majiazhuang is located.

In fact, this case became the regret of Chen Zhu's first life, and later when he took his apprentice, he warned the apprentice that no matter what the case was, he must investigate it to the end and be worthy of his conscience. It is also because of this that Yang Catcher is so conscientious and responsible, and has become the most well-known catcher in the local area.

Yang Zhukuai also wanted to re-investigate the case of the year, but decades have passed, and there is no evidence at the scene, and the files left behind are vague, so he can only give up, but Yang Zhukuai firmly believes that it must not be the work of some ghost, it was someone who killed this person, but why do you do it? What is the motivation? Why is it so cruel? He didn't know.

After bidding farewell to Yang Zhukuai, Wei Chiran and Nian Chengkai walked on the street, and the two of them were also thinking about the motive, the only motive was that the person was killed after entering Majiazhuang, and there was no other motive, so the source of the matter was still in Majiazhuang.

Nian Chengkai said: "I want to go to the hometown of the magistrate who led the troops to slaughter Majiazhuang back then." ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Do you want to start from the root?" ”

Nian Chengkai said: "Yes, I think it's better to start from the roots." ”

The magistrate's hometown is five days away from Taiping Town, after all, Nian Chengkai is different from Wei Chiran, and he is indeed tired, after finding a place to rest for the night, he travels under the stars, changes horses along the way, and finally arrives at the magistrate's hometown at noon on the fourth day, a place called Nian Zhuang.

It's strange to say, after entering the milling village, the two of them found the descendants of the magistrate without much effort, why? Because of this mill, his family is the poorest, it is simply called one poor and two white, the family is surrounded by four walls, and no matter how poor the others are, they will not be like that.

And the descendants of the magistrate were left only one man, the man was sick, his face was sallow, and he looked half-buried in the earth, and he was dressed in tatters, but he was very diligent, and his house was clean. According to him, from the generation of the magistrates, their family was unlucky, and it was bad luck, and everything did not go well, and one person died every three or five times, and when it came to his generation, he was the only one left, and there was no way to marry a wife and have children to reproduce the next generation, which was equivalent to a direct extinction.

Nian Chengkai asked the man to spread out his hand, and after looking at the palmistry, he asked about the eight characters of his birthday, and the man also asked what to answer, neither hope, nor what the two of them did, in short, they were already so virtuous.

Wei Chiran also saw that something was wrong, so he asked, "I want to ask, where is your family's ancestral grave?" ”

The man asked, "Why are you asking about the ancestral grave?" ”

Nian Chengkai said: "We want to see." ”

The man smiled: "There can't be a problem with the ancestral tomb, we have already seen it, the feng shui is good, it is in the back mountain, you can see it if you want, I will lead you there." ”

The man led the two to the back mountain, and saw their family's ancestral grave on the halfway of the mountain near the water, and even Nian Chengkai and Wei Chiran had to sigh that the feng shui here is really good, but such a good feng shui, the descendants are also considered to be hard, why is it so miserable, and they are about to die?

Wei Chiran looked at the big tomb and thought for a long time, and asked, "Have you ever opened the coffin?" ”

The man immediately said: "Who opens the coffin, how unlucky, anyway, I accept my fate, instead of sighing all day long, it is better to live a good life and try to make yourself happy." ”

After that, the man turned around and left, he still fell from time to time when he walked, and he knew that he was an unlucky guy by looking at his back.

Wei Chiran's eyes fell on the tomb in front of him again, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

Nian Chengkai said: "I'm afraid it's the same as you think, do you dare?" ”

Wei Chi said: "What don't you dare, it's all here anyway, so let's take the risk to find out." ”

What are the two going to do? That is, to dig open the grave directly, to see what is going on inside, maybe the coffin will have to be opened. The two went to buy tools, and then waited for the sun to go down into the night, and went to the grave, Nian Chengkai calculated the time, and after calculating a good hour, the two took the tools and started to do it, and it didn't take long to dig up a bunch of weapons, and they were all bloodstained weapons, and the blood stains on them had been mixed with rust, but they were still clearly visible.

Nian Chengkai looked at the weapons and recognized them at a glance, those were all official knives, that is, the weapons used by the Qing court soldiers and officials in the past, after all those weapons were dug up, there were more than sixty handles, all of which were pressed on the soil layer of the coffin below.
