Chapter 63: The Iron Mouth Case
After Xu Wenshan was arrested and sent to the county office, the county government seemed to be a little crowded.
A Taoist priest with strong martial arts, a county commander who has no opinions, a county lieutenant with a complicated mood, a master book with great grief, Xu Jing who has been wronged and humiliated, and Xu Wenshan, who is a hanger, can almost shoot an episode of Jiupin Sesame Official.
Lu Wuji stared at Xu Wenshan coldly and said: "The criminal Xu Cong, you practiced evil arts privately and killed Song San, the case has been exposed, and you are not honest!" ”
Xu Wenshan looked around, and when he saw Xu Jing sitting on the ground with a red and swollen face, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, "Song San is dead?" It's a delight, but I've never met him. ”
"Lie!" Lu Wuji pulled out the flying sword behind his back, the blade of the sword shining coldly, as aggressive as its owner.
The flying sword was pressed against Xu Wenshan's throat, but Xu Wenshan was not afraid, just looked at Lu Wuji coldly.
Do you dare to kill me? Do you dare to do it?
You don't dare.
Although he didn't know much about the monks in general, after getting along with the Sanfeng Dao people for a few months, Xu Wenshan still knew a little.
The Taoist priests of this world are very disciplined. There is an immortal alliance above that takes care of everything, and the Taoist priests here must not treat mortals like grass mustard like in other immortal cultivation novels, and slaughter the city and kill the whole family at every turn.
If you kill a person without permission, and the law enforcement officer of the Immortal League takes the evidence, you will be punished for thinking about it, punishing spirit stones, and pills, and at worst, you will be lowered to a realm, so that you can practice again.
The monk's time is precious, and once his life is over, he will die before he can break through the realm. Being punished for facing the wall or lowering the realm is tantamount to killing people indirectly.
Therefore, no Taoist priest dared to take the risk of killing mortals.
Xu Wenshan relied on this and stiffened his neck until now.
But this does not mean that Taoist priests have pity on mortals. Taoist priests also care about mortals, if it weren't for the sect's showdown to get down the task, they wouldn't be too lazy to help mortals get rid of demons. Last time, the Sanfeng Daoist said that he had sealed the temple girl for ten years, but the temple girl ran out after only two years. If it sounds good, he is kind-hearted, and if it is bad, he is irresponsible.
Lu Wuji stared at Xu Wenshan fiercely, eager to kill him with a sword, but the sword in his hand was shaken and clenched, but he still didn't stab down.
Although Xu Wenshan is the most suspicious of the people who have entered the city this month, he is an evil cultivator, and it is just a guess from the law.
He is also a monk who has been cultivating for more than a hundred years, killing Xu Wenshan is a gamble, if you bet right, you can get some benefits, and if you make a wrong bet, you will lose your footing and become a thousand years of hatred, and he can still calculate this account.
Lu Wuji put away the sword and said, "I can't kill you, can't mortals torture you?" I'll let the county magistrate serve you until you use your sorcery!" ”
After saying that, he nodded at the county order, and the county order immediately understood, and ordered the officials to press Xu Wenshan down and scold him with a hundred rods.
This cane punishment is not the kind of 50 boards or 80 boards in the TV series, and you can still sit and drink tea when you go home after the fight. A stick here weighs more than a dozen pounds, picking it up and whirring the wind, ordinary people take ten hits, basically scrapped in the first half of the year, the body is a little worse, and there are a few boards that die directly.
The two officials pressed Xu Wenshan to the ground, one left and one right, and took turns to fight. With a cane, Xu Wenshan snorted. Although his body is much stronger than ordinary people, he can't use stone skin at this time, and it is quite difficult to get up.
When he was hit ten times, Xu Wenshan began to sneer.
By the time he hit twenty times, the clothes on Xu Wenshan's back had been stained red with blood.
When they received thirty blows, the officials' hands began to go numb.
Xu Wenshan was still staring at everyone present and sneering, and Xu Jing next to him couldn't stand it.
"Stop fighting! Stop it! I recruited it, I recruited it all, I killed it, it has nothing to do with him......"
Xu Jing cried, but her father Xu Zhong gritted his teeth and secretly blamed his daughter for being ignorant, how could he have anything to do with evil cultivators? Don't you want to die?
Xu Wenshan had a big headache, he originally planned to endure this catastrophe and forget it, but now the eldest lady has another branch, and his game of chess is going to be messed up.
Seeing that Xu Jing was so concerned, Lu Wuji suddenly changed his mind, grabbed Xu Jing and said, "You admit that you bought a murderer?" ”
Xu Jing shook her head, with tears on her face: "No, I did it alone, I killed it alone." ”
Lu Wuji said to the officials: "Go and carry the corpse up." ”
The officials and the county order have changed color, but this is the request of the provincial chief, and they cannot refuse.
The officials covered their noses, carried the stretcher of the corpse over, put it in the hall, and hurried away. The moment Xu Jing saw the corpse, she spit out with a "wow".
There was a hint of cruelty in Lu Wuji's eyes, and he said, "You did it yourself?" Are you sure? ”
Xu Jing lay on the ground, silent.
She couldn't even stand seeing the corpse, so how could she do it?
Lu Wuji said to the county order: "This woman's words are not true, and she should be punished." ”
After that, Lu Wuji turned his head to Xu Wenshan and said: "You are rough and thick-skinned and not afraid of beating, then I will beat this woman, I see that you are affectionate and righteous, just see if you are reluctant to let this woman die for you." ”
At this time, the county order was completely obedient to the Taoist, and with a move in his hand, he was about to order the board, and suddenly someone spoke:
"Stop!"
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, only to see Xu Wenshan raising his hand on the ground and said:
"Violence won't solve the problem." Xu Wenshan clapped his hands, limped to his feet, and said, "What you want to catch is the real murderer, you catch us, no matter how much you fight, it's useless, because we are not murderers at all." ”
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Xu Wenshan said to the master: "Your nephew is dead, don't you want to find the real murderer and comfort your brother's spirit in the sky?" If you get a ghost who dies, and when you die, your brother's soul comes to you and says, "Brother, my brother has waited so long, why haven't you sent your brother's enemy?" My brother hates it so much......"
The master shouted, "Shut up! ”
But his expression showed that Xu Wenshan's words had an effect.
Xu Wenshan said to the Taoist priest again: "You also want to catch the murderer and kill the demons, right?" To solve a case, you must pay attention to ways and means, and you will not be able to catch the murderer in this way. ”
Lu Wuji sneered: "You don't talk cleverly here, you are obviously an evil cultivator." In the past month, only your origin is unclear, Shaxian has nothing to do, you have only been here for a few days, and Shaxian has been turned upside down, how can there be such a coincidence? Don't drag on here for time, wait for a hundred boards to go down, if you are really killed, I will believe in your innocence and accompany you. ”
Xu Wenshan said with a smile: "If you dare to love me, you will die in vain." But if you do kill me, I am afraid that you will regret it, for I already know who the murderer is. ”
