Chapter 249: Saving People
It turned out that the altar was indeed set up by the people of Southern Xinjiang, and their previous reasoning was correct, where the people of Southern Xinjiang set up the altar, they just wanted to refine the puppet, and He Zhou secretly colluded with the people of Southern Xinjiang to treat all the people of the entire Lotus Village as test objects and let the people of Southern Xinjiang test the puppet.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jirin acted so quickly, and found the missing person in Lianhua Village in just a few days, and also arrested He Zhou and Bearded Man.
The bearded man was now completely desperate, and He Zhou finally lowered his head in discouragement when he saw the conclusive evidence.
On the piece of paper, the content written is actually some records of Hezhou's daily outing, and it seems that it is really nothing to ordinary people, but the more Hezhou looks at it, the cooler it becomes, and the time recorded on the paper is when he went out to the grotto, and nothing is missing.
"Master, how do you know that Hezhou is in the same group as them?" Tianxuan on the side asked questions, this is actually what He Zhou wanted to ask, he thought that the disguise was seamless, and he didn't know where Zhang Jilin saw the flaws.
"I asked Tianheng Kaiyang to go to the nearest county to find someone, and the two of them later told me that when they found Hezhou, when they told Hezhou about this matter, Hezhou's face was shocked, and there was no trace of joy, if Hezhou was just a county, and the missing people within their jurisdiction were found, wouldn't they be happy! Moreover, when He Zhou arrived at the grotto, although the whole person's behavior was very normal, it was because he was too calm, so it made people even more suspicious, let me ask, what was the reaction of the first time you saw the Blood Altar? Zhang Jirin sat back, his fingers tapping on the armrest on the side.
"Thriller!" Tianxuan blurted out.
As soon as Tianxuan said it, everyone understood it, isn't it terrifying, using human blood and human hearts as sacrifices, even if it is a battlefield like theirs, the people who kill people feel shuddering when they see it, recalling that He Zhou came to the grotto, they seem to be accustomed to all this, and there is no discomfort, not to mention, He Zhou is still a civil official, which is even more difficult to explain. He Zhou's reaction when he saw Zhang Jirin was only panic and thought about it carefully, how real or false the panic was, it was still unknown.
Hearing this, everyone had to admire Zhang Jirin's subtle observation, at that time, who was not busy with their own affairs, they didn't expect Zhang Jilin to notice so many details, not to mention that for people like their parents, ordinary people would definitely not question their first reaction.
"I will write to Your Majesty about you, so now, tell me what you know."
Zhang Jirin looked at He Zhou and didn't speak, and the sound of each other's breathing could be heard quietly in the entire dungeon.
"I'm ......" He Zhou had just spoken, and suddenly his whole body convulsed and fell to the ground.
"Master!" Tianheng's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward and ordered a few big points on Hezhou's body, but to no avail.
"Don't bother, it's useless." She Ning on the side spoke lightly.
"What's going on?" Tianxuan asked.
"He Zhou should have been ordered to die a long time ago...... Not good!! Before She Ning finished speaking, everyone also reacted, and ran towards the bearded man's cell, and so many people appeared at once, and the bearded man was shocked.
She Ning took the lead in and directly pointed at the bearded man's acupoint, the bearded man was motionless, She Ning took out a long needle from his sleeve and stabbed it directly into the bearded man's temple, and a hideous look appeared on the bearded man's face.
Then She Ning took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, and when he opened it, a foul smell permeated.
She Ning put the small porcelain vase next to the bearded man's mouth, broke the bearded man's mouth, and after a while, everyone saw something crawling out of the bearded man's mouth.
"Spread out!" She Ning said in a deep voice.
The black thing crawled out, and everyone saw clearly that it was a big black insect as thick as a finger, with fine fluff on its body, and it looked disgusting. The insect crawled to the bearded man's mouth, seemed to sense that something was wrong, twisted his body, and wanted to crawl back again, She Ning directly shot a silver needle and pricked the big black insect.
Then he took out another porcelain bottle and threw the bugs into it.
"This ......" Tianxuan's mouth couldn't close in surprise for a long time, they were just fighting on the battlefield before, or doing some other tasks, it was the first time to see such a strange thing, how could such a big black worm crawl out of a person's mouth.
"It's okay." She Ning stuffed the bottle into his arms and untied the bearded man's acupoint, and the bearded man suddenly knelt on the ground and cried.
"Please, my lord, I really don't know anything, I'm just a guard by Muller's side, and this time I'm here with Muller. I just do what they want, and I don't really know anything else. The bearded man knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
"They? Who are they? Kaiyang grabbed the bearded man's collar and asked.
"I ...... I ......" the bearded man's eyes rolled around, still refusing to tell the truth.
"Don't say it?" Tian Xuan stepped up and grabbed the bearded man's collar.
"I ...... I don't know anything, I don't know anything. The bearded man just shook his head.
"Tianheng, feed him the poppy liquid you collected earlier." Zhang Jilin didn't even raise his head to speak.
The bearded man panicked when he heard this.
"Don't, don't, I'm ......," the bearded man muttered to himself.
"Then you don't want to say it?" Tian Xuan threw the bearded man to the ground.
"I said, I'll tell you everything I know." The bearded man nodded hurriedly.
"I ...... I don't know much, what you want to know, I'll say. The bearded man added.
Tianheng glanced at Zhang Jirin, and Zhang Jirin sat up straight.
"When did you come to Daqi?" Zhang Jilin asked.
The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Half a year ago, half a year ago." ”
"How many people are coming together?" Zhang Jilin then asked.
"Not much, me, Muller, and two wizards, and some guards." The bearded man replied.
"Who are you?" Zhang Jilin asked.
"I really don't know this, I used to be one of Mueller's guards, and I don't know why Mueller brought me here, I ......" said the bearded man in fear.
Zhang Jirin glanced at the bearded man and fell into deep thought, he knew that what the bearded man said was true.
"By the way, She Ning, do you know Mueller?" Feng Ming suddenly remembered that in front of the grotto today, Mueller and She Ning had communicated.
"I'm about to tell you, too." She Ning arched his hand at Zhang Jirin, and the rest of the people also found that She Ning's address to Zhang Jirin had changed.
Today in front of the grotto, when She Ning was busy controlling the villagers, several uncontrolled villagers rushed towards She Ning, then everyone had their own affairs, and they had no time to take care of She Ning, Zhang Jilin flew over directly and kicked away the two villagers who rushed towards She Ning.
She Ning's change in Zhang Jirin's title is also understandable.
Mueller is the son of a sorcerer in southern Xinjiang, and the most noble person in southern Xinjiang is a sorcerer in addition to the royal family and saints in southern Xinjiang.
Almost no one in southern Xinjiang dares to offend a sorcerer, because although the sorcerer's martial arts are not high, he knows witchcraft, that is, he has extraordinary talents and talents for Gu poison and even some evil arts.
She Ning practiced some of them because he liked these things, but wizards were passed down from generation to generation.
However, the Great Wizard, that is, Mueller's father, has always been very kind and upright in She Ning's impression, why would his son do such a thing in Daqi.
She Ning and Muller really don't have much contact, but the two of them are really not on the same page in southern Xinjiang.
Muller is a little arrogant and has no one in his eyes, although She Ning is very low-key, but Muller always intentionally or unintentionally finds trouble with She Ning, at first She Ning thought that he offended Muller in an unknown place, and later She Ning found that some people are born with a spirit of things and like to find a sense of existence in others.
Fortunately, She Ning has a gentle personality and has hardly had a head-on conflict with Muller, but he didn't expect to meet Muller here today.
Who is Mueller's person, She Ning will not be sure for a while.
Is the altar used to refine puppets? In order to confirm their conjecture, Zhang Jilin asked again.
"Yes, yes, Mueller said, as long as the altar is successful, the puppet will be refined, and it will be ready for us when the time comes." After the bearded man finished speaking, several people in the dungeon looked at the bearded man with unkind eyes.
The people of southern Xinjiang really have a good calculation, using the villagers of Daqi to refine the puppet, and after the refining is successful, it is not an exaggeration to use the puppet to fight with the Daqi people.
"Are there any Xiling people with you?" Zhang Jilin asked.
A trace of shock flashed on the bearded man's face, but he didn't expect Zhang Jirin to even know this.
Seeing the bearded man's reaction, Zhang Jirin knew that there must be one of them who could resist beasts.
Because blood dogs are tyrannical by nature, it is definitely not an accident that bloody dogs gather together. But what Zhang Jirin didn't understand was why these blood dogs didn't go to the grotto on the mountain together, but stayed in Lotus Village all the time, unless there was something else in the village, thinking of this, Zhang Jirin felt that they were careless, and caught a few suspicious people, but ignored the important place, Lotus Village, there must be something else in the village.
There are so many groups of blood dogs, and they can still live an orderly life in the village, there must be people who can control beasts, and there is only one country that can control beasts, and that is Xiling.
If it's really as guessed, and the Xiling people are also involved, it's tricky.
"Still asking?" Tianheng spoke.
"Okay, lock him up first, and as for Hezhou's body, put it in here first." Zhang Jirin thought about it and said.
"Yes, master." A few people gave up.
"My lord, I'll go see the villagers." She Ning arched his hand and turned around and left.
The few villagers who brought back were controlled and placed in the house. She Ning went to the place where these people were placed, and when they arrived, there were four people lying on the four platforms, She Ning stepped forward to check the pulse and check, and finally frowned tightly.
These people are more tricky, they are not only affected by the altar, but there are also a lot of messy things in their bodies, She Ning sighed as he touched their pulse.
