Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Devil's Errand
Going out today must not be an auspicious day.
After a while, the crowd of good deeds surrounded it, with three layers inside and outside, and the water could not be drained.
"What's the matter?
"I don't know, I passed by, and I heard that this little Taoist aunt did it. β
Zhou Xuanqing was stunned on the spot, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "No, no, everyone misunderstood! I just dipped a talisman, and he fainted by himself." He was a thief and stole my money. Didn't you catch me... β
The righteous guy glared at him and pointed angrily, "That's your revenge with a personal vendetta!" I saw that he rolled his eyes, you must have cast a spell and robbed people of their souls. β
Who are you?
"Xiaodao never does such immoral things. Besides, it doesn't just rely on a talisman to capture people's souls. β
The man rolled up his sleeves and circled around Zhou Xuanqing on the spot, "There is no evidence, how can you prove it? I think you are just playing tricks and trying to escape the crime." What I see with my own eyes is you ... "A long list of words, said like a river, so wonderful.
Zhou Xuanqing opened his mouth to argue, his head hurt and his chest tightened, and he laughed angrily, "Are you a storyteller?"
The guy paused and touched his head: "Uh, how do you know?"
No wonder, his eyebrows are dancing, and the choreography looks like the real thing. Zhou Xuanqing turned his head to look for the Hou Ye and found that Liu Yanshu happened to be watching from the wall, and Mo Huaigu and Lu Shiyi also had nothing to do with themselves.
It seems that they are no longer reliable.
Zhou Xuanqing's eyes moved, leaned down, and reached out to reach out to the thief who fell to the ground and did not wake up. As soon as she ripped off the talisman, the storyteller behind her shouted, "Are you afraid that he won't die, and you still want to strangle him?"
Zhou Xuanqing couldn't bear to look back, cold and violent. "No matter how much you talk, Xiaodao will reward you with a talisman. β
The man was momentarily bluffed and looked at the onlookers.
Zhou Xuanqing lowered his head to take a closer look and frowned. This man's face was the same, not like he had committed an emergency. She clenched her hands into fists, got up and said, "The man is not deadβalthough the snort is weak, the neck pulse is strong, find a bed for him to lie down." β
Liu Yanshu's eyes were always staring at Zhou Xuanqing, and the little thief on the ground fainted suddenly, but it had nothing to do with him. saw that Zhou Xuanqing was in danger, and he was a little more interested in watching the play.
Most of the onlookers had something to do, and no one dared to step forward to do anything. "No, no, no, you made the person stunned, in case you leave, what if the person dies?"
"That's it, I see, take them to the county government first, no matter whether people survive or not, Xiao Daogu can't escape the involvement. β
Everyone, you say a word, I say a word, and someone really comes to pull Zhou Xuanqing. Seeing that the situation was getting bigger, Zhou Xuanqing hurriedly glanced at Hou Ye.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yanshu picked himself clean, looking innocent. "We don't know each other. β
I'm not familiar with your size -- it's time to cross the river and tear down the bridge?
Zhou Xuanqing pulled Hou Ye's sleeve vigorously between the pushes and shoves, "Hou Ye, we are grasshoppers on a rope." β
Let's die together.
Everyone divided into groups to grab Liu Yanshu again, and walked to the county office lively.
This change came too quickly, and Mo Huaigu and Liu Yanshu were stunned.
"Why did you get involved with Master Hou? β
So, the two demons also followed the footsteps of the group of people and rushed to the direction of the county office.
Two of the people volunteered to borrow a wooden shelf, and the fainting thief followed closely behind.
The spotted cat, which no one cared about, was left in place. It blinked its big round blue eyes, stretched out the tip of its tongue and licked its sharp claws, and jumped onto the thief's stretcher in a burst of broken steps.
After walking for a long time, everyone finally arrived at the gate of the county office. Two officers on duty were guarding the left and right ends of the vermilion gate, both squinting and snoozing with long sticks in their hands.
The storyteller took the lead, stepped forward and coughed lightly, and said resignedly: "Bad master, bad master?"
"What are you doing? I didn't see the sun so big, don't block the light of Lao Tzu. The officer opened his eyes impatiently, but was startled by the crowd of people behind him. "Troublemaker?"
"No, no, poor master, it's a death. β
"Dead?" the two officers glanced lazily into the crowd.
"Oh, there is still a breath, but the person is not awake, we are afraid of dying on the road, so we are carried over. The offenders have also been brought to us. The storyteller specifically pointed to Zhou Xuanqing and Liu Yanshu.
"What are you doing? I think our county government is too idle. The one who didn't die was carried to the back door, and the offender was handed over to us and put in prison. β
Liu Yanshu squinted at Zhou Xuanqing, "If you don't try it, you will be imprisoned, your realm is really lawless and careless of human life." β
He is a powerful relative of the nobles who came from the capital, and although he acted arrogantly in dealing with the affairs of the government and the opposition, he also followed the law. There are no rules. But when I got here, I was so 'snubbed'.
Zhou Xuanqing has learned the same, and he doesn't want to deal with him at the moment. turned his head and was sent to prison by someone who cut his hands behind his back.
The two men carrying the wooden frame entered the back door hall and carefully put the stretcher down.
"Meow. The spotted cat barked obediently, originally drooping its head and immediately erected its pointed ears, the body was arched high and stretched a lazy waist, the tail shook from side to side and easily jumped to the side, and no one was next to comb their cat hair with the tip of their tongues.
"When did this cat catch up?" "Shh, it is said that cats are spiritual, and they can see ghosts and demons. I see, this man is more likely to be more than lucky. β
"yes, let's go. β
As soon as the two left, only the thief lay quietly in the middle of the empty back hall, and he looked particularly panicked.
I don't know if there was a gust of wind that shook the spotted cat. Something is wrong!
It jumped up a wall and bounced back onto the beam, staring downward.
Originally, there was only the thief underneath, but soon a cloud of white smoke rose from the ground. The smoke gradually cleared, revealing two figures.
One black and one white outfit, wearing a high hat, dull appearance, one tall and one short, all over his body are cold and wanton, without a trace of vitality.
The long man smiled and said with a pale face: "Xiao Fan, go and call Hu Yibing's soul to come alive and talk about important matters in detail." β
"Lao Xie, I said a long time ago that I should find a secluded and uninhabited place, there are so many living people on the street, and the yang energy is so heavy, I almost had an accident. The short man's face was fierce, and he tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"Stop talking and get to work. β
After finishing speaking, the black-clothed man conjured a gong out of nowhere and knocked it twice in the ear of the thief on the ground. "Boom!"
The thief's soul fluttered from his body. Hanging in the air, he blinked his eyes and said, "I'm here, what's wrong?"
The spotted cat looked at the strange scene and stuck out its tongue in amazement, and suddenly got up with a flowery hair, raised its two front paws to climb the beam wall on the side, and stood up with its two hind paws. Scared to live like a person.
What the hell!
The black and white impermanence ghosts are the two messengers of the underworld, and legend has it that they only see people when they die. Could it be that this thief really stepped into the ghost gate?
