Chapter 21: Punishment of adultery and elimination of evil

"King Liang cultivates such a big gang, isn't he afraid that the Magistrate's Court will trouble him?"

Tang Yun muttered, the head catcher hurriedly turned his face to the side, it was a matter of the prince, so a little person like him should not be mixed in.

The door of the house was opened, and a little girl quietly opened a crack, and when she saw that her father was still lying on the ground and wailing, she hurriedly ran over and helped her father up.

The scholar was very embarrassed, his head crooked to the side, and his hair was all scattered. He still had a few marks on his face from being whipped from the whip, and the white clothes on his body had been worn for a long time, with many patches, and several cuts had been made in the process of being beaten by the Dragons.

The scholar trembled, looked at his daughter's abrupt little face, and suddenly hugged his daughter, crying bitterly: "It's all daddy useless!" You've suffered here! ”

The scholar cried for a long time, and then he noticed that there were still people around him. He wiped away his tears, got up and said, "It's rude, let the two laugh." ”

"You're the one who reported the crime?" Tang Yun looked at the scholar.

"It's here, I went to the Shendu Mansion to report the case this morning, I don't know if the adult is ......"

"You can tell this lord what happened, and as for the rest, you don't have to worry too much!" The voice of the headcatcher was muffled.

Talking about the scene that happened last night, the scholar's face was still a little afraid. The scene then became like a nightmare, appearing in his nightmares countless times.

"That's definitely a ghost, my lord, and I'm not lying."

The scholar's voice was resolute, and the scholar was silent, and the reader was a little repulsed by the ghost. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it was true.

Last night, the three thugs who had come to collect the money were quickly killed by the blue-faced demon. A man was stabbed in the middle of the eyebrow with a knife and fell to the threshold. The other two died in the courtyard, their stomachs slit, their entrails sprayed on the ground, and blood all over the ground.

When people see such a shocking scene, their first reaction will be disgusting, and many people will retch when they kill someone for the first time, and it will take a certain amount of time to bear it mentally, so it will be like this.

The scholar at that time reacted in the same way, he wanted to retch, but the intense fear swept through his mind, and he had to open his eyes again and stare at the shadow in the darkness.

He felt the shadow approaching him.

In the moonlight, a hideous grimace appeared in front of him.

The shadow was very close, and when it got closer, a pungent smell of blood could be clearly heard. The scholar trembled all over, this moment is so long, people may burst out more potential in dangerous situations, but more people will freeze in place when they encounter danger, hoping that long-term peace can be exchanged for their own stability.

In front of him, the shadow pulled out the knife that had stabbed the first villain in the head and began to cut along the villain's neck.

In fact, the human neck is very hard, and it is difficult to cut off the head directly unless it is cut with a large knife such as a large ring knife.

The shadow was like cutting a piece of bacon that had been dry and hard for a long time, cutting back and forth, and the scholar felt the warm blood splash on his face.

The shadow, in front of him, began to eat the villain. From beginning to end, the scholar did not dare to move, for fear that if he moved, he would disturb the evil ghosts under this month.

For this villain, the black shadow only ate half of the head and threw it away.

He glanced at the scholar, then at the little girl who was crouching in the corner and covering her mouth, and turned away abruptly. The sound of falling bricks and tiles came from the fence of the courtyard, and as soon as the sound landed, the scholar also collapsed to the ground.

Under the darkness of the night, the three living people became three corpses in the blink of an eye.

Grunt grunt –

The gnawed and crippled head was still wandering on the ground, and the two eyes had been buckled down, and only two black blood holes stared at him.

……

"It's the same as the legend about the ghost-faced rakshasa in the market." Tang Yun thought to himself.

There is no doubt that the demon is more likely to be able to do such abnormal behavior. Most of all the monsters Tang Yun met had fun devouring people.

It's just strange that such a monster doesn't eat the scholar in front of him.

Could it be...... Full?

Monsters are greedy, just like the wild wolves in the desert, even if their stomachs are full, they will also start hunting for the next time they eat.

Tang Yun covered the white cloth that wrapped the corpse again: "The corpse will be temporarily placed in the Shendu Mansion first, and the pestle hall of the Demon Hunting Division has been full in the past few days. As for this ghost-faced rakshasa, has anyone seen it? ”

The head catcher said: "There are still some Wuhou who patrol the night and have seen it, my lord, please come here." ”

Tang Yun and the head catcher left, and the courtyard suddenly became calm. Several officials from the Shendu Mansion arrived when they heard the news, and they began to collect the corpses lying in the courtyard.

The scholar covered his daughter's head, and suddenly said in a trembling voice: "Daddy doesn't test his fame, girl, let's go home tomorrow!" ”

He will try every three years, but let his daughter grow up in such an environment, he is not ready to continue like this.

is a person from a background, and he already has the identity of an official. But at most, it is a local metaphor, and a petty official like the county master book has already reached the top.

But at least, my daughter doesn't have to worry about spending day after day in fear.

"I'll be home tomorrow!"

The scholar hugged his daughter, with a tremor in his voice.

……

"Yes, the little one did see the ghost-faced yaksha, but it was too late at the time to see it clearly. He killed two people and fled, and later we found out that the two people he killed were long-wanted criminals, and he was going to enter the house that night to commit murder. ”

"This ghost-faced yaksha is very strange, he seems to only target the wicked. Our Wuhou sometimes found him, and he didn't hide, anyway, the guard didn't hear of which brother he killed. ”

"Speaking from the heart, I think this ghost-faced Yaksha should be a ranger who came from the capital to punish the traitors and eliminate evil. Hey, he made it look like that, probably just to show it to others, so as to leave a name for the rivers and lakes! However, he appeared, and recently there have been a lot fewer troublemakers in the workshop, and some gangs have also converged a lot, and we have also been a little lighter. ”

The martial marquis didn't know Tang Yun's identity, and when they saw the head catcher accompanying them, they subconsciously regarded Tang Yun as the official of the Shendu Mansion, so they told everything they knew.

"Ranger, tsk, that's a rarity these days!" The headcatcher muttered.

Tang Yun's brows furrowed, this was definitely not that simple.

Whether a person uses a culling or a bite with his mouth, the wound is different. Even if the scholar saw it with his own eyes, there would be no falsehood. There is no need for the scholar to tell lies.

Tang Yun turned his head to the catcher and said, "The wicked have their own government to try them, and these people in the rivers and lakes cannot be allowed to be presumptuous!" You go back and give a message to your new governor, ask him to send more people tonight, and if you see this ghost-faced Yaksha, you must notify me immediately! ”
