Chapter 421: And the Confession
I really didn't expect this girl to be so bold, but it was a good idea, we tied Ouyang Che and laid it flat on the float, and covered his body tightly with flowers. The four green vests continued to be controlled by me. They followed us from a distance, anyway, they usually run rampant, and the others can't hide, let alone go forward to see.
Yuping's house is already at the very edge of the capital, and there are three mud-tile houses in a small courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence. Liping asked us to carry Ouyang Che to the West House, and then returned to the courtyard to guard us.
Ling Xiao and I tied Ouyang Che to a chair, brought a basin of cold water from the big head, and poured it on him.
"Shhh It's cold. Where is this! Ouyang Che opened his eyes and found that he was being tied up, and he panicked all of a sudden.
I walked up to Ouyang Che, "Boy, do you recognize grandpa?" ”
"It's you again!" He gritted his teeth and said to me, "Dog thief, how dare you kidnap me?" I'm not afraid that my father will refine your ghost and feed the dogs! ”
I laughed when I heard it, he really didn't know who he was talking to.
"If you do this, don't you have to practice?" Saying that, I have already grabbed his ghost with my hand, and this move will scare even the top masters, let alone deal with him.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Tears began to appear in his tone. There's even a little stammering, "I, I've got money." I can give you a lot of money, and I can give you women, and I can do it without women and men! Why do you always have trouble with me! ”
Ling Xiao glanced at him disdainfully, "Fourth brother." Stop talking nonsense with him. "Blood.
I took my hand back, Ouyang Che finally breathed a sigh of relief, and I asked him, "Do you know about the green fruit?" ”
"Yes, everyone in the capital knows!"
The big head saw that he was playing sloppy, and his head was pushed to his chest, and Ouyang Che rolled his eyes when he was hit.
"What are green fruits for?"
"Eaten"
I turned the wrench on my finger, and although Ouyang Che didn't know what I was going to do next, he was already trembling with fear. I grabbed his ghost again with my wrenched hand.
"Nonsense! We even know who to eat, and we still need to say it! ”
Ouyang Che couldn't resist it at all, he looked at a few of us, "It turns out that it turns out that you are the ones who are wanted in the city recently!" ”
"You're smart!" Qingxue smiled at him after speaking, and a cold air hit.
"Tell me, what's the matter with those dead people in the castle?"
"I only know that they have to eat green fruits regularly to replenish their ghost qi, and I don't know anything else!"
Qingxue glared at him, "I really don't know?" "I felt like even her voice was cold.
"What I'm saying is true, I don't dare to tell nonsense!"
"Then you tell us, where did the dead come from, and what is the use of them?"
"I don't know about this, this is a state secret, how can you sue me!"
I saw that he was immediately scared to pee, I guess what he said was true, maybe he knew so much about it.
"Then let's talk about the green fruit, you always know this, right?"
Ouyang Che nodded, and recruited everything he knew, "This matter was ordered by the king to be done by our family, and we are responsible for providing seeds to the ghost people, and then collecting the fruits that bear them, and finally selling them to the king." ”
Listening to what he meant, the Ouyang family is equivalent to a middleman, not the initiator.
I asked him what the effect of the fruit was, and as soon as Ouyang Che mentioned this, his eyes showed fear and mystery, and he told us that those fruits were actually medicinal herbs, and eating them could replenish the ghost qi, but at the cost of damaging the cultivator's ghost qi.
"Does the king know that planting such a thing would harm the growers?"
Ouyang Che nodded, "Of course I know." ”
"What will happen if we continue to plant?"
"Eventually, you'll be gone."
Hearing his answer, our previous speculation was also confirmed, the little boy was right, these were indeed poisonous fruits, and I couldn't help but gasp.
There can be such a king! Isn't he bringing about his own demise by doing so?
But I heard him say this, as if the fruit is like a nourishment in the world, but from the process of growing the fruit evilly, it is clear that it is not so simple.
In any case, I am very sure of two things, firstly, that this green fruit can no longer be planted, and secondly, the existence of those dead people is abnormal, and whatever the king's purpose is, he is using the ghost energy of his own people to feed the dead.
"Where are all these fruits planted? How many people are planting? "I need to know how to break this.
Ouyang Che told me that it is planted in almost all the surrounding areas of the country, and most of them grow in dense forests.
With such a large planting area, it is almost impossible to remove all the fruit trees in a short period of time.
Wait, why are we going from town to town? Isn't someone already doing this for us?
As long as we find a way to destroy the wagons that carry the fruit. If the supply is cut off, the ghost qi of the dead cannot be replenished, and it will naturally disappear, and the cultivation of green fruits will be meaningless.
"How often do those people go to the town to collect them, and from which gate will they be transported into the capital?"
"I don't usually care about my family's business, I really don't know, I'm afraid only my father knows best." This kid is really not a good thing.
Ling Xiao suddenly asked him curiously, since the fruit has a ghost aura, does it become stronger if you eat the fruit.
Ouyang Che lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that people would hear him, "It's not that simple, if we eat it, it won't increase the ghost qi, but those fruits have a special effect on the people who have just died, that is, they can keep the body of the dead from disappearing." They can be as powerful as they were when they were alive, but they need to eat them regularly or they will disappear. ”
I finally understood that the two men brought by Luda would eventually disappear, probably because they hadn't eaten anymore, in addition to their heads being cut off.
It seems that those two men should not be spies, probably because they discovered the fruit of this evil at the time, but were eventually assassinated. If so, why did they wake up all of a sudden?
I remembered that the dead people in the hall were controlled by spells, and those two should have been awakened by spells, which means that they attacked us at that time and were controlled by people.
The most suspicious of all is the old lady of the inn, because she taught the townspeople to grow green fruits, and she appeared in the corridor after we defeated the two dead people, but she mysteriously disappeared when we left.
Thinking about it this way, the old lady may have planned to kill us from the beginning, and it may be because we found out about the dead man.
It turns out that as soon as I stepped into this country of Bakan, we have already begun to live on the cusp of the sword. I'm sure all the Yiqiē is not a coincidence, but I can't think of who will kill us now, King? How did he know where we were going?
I walked up to Ouyang Che, pulled out the resurrection soul, and poured the ghost qi on the blade, Ouyang Che thought I was going to kill him, and kowtowed again and again in fright. I let him feel the ghost aura of resurrection, "Ouyang Gongzi, if you tell me about today's incident, either you will never go out, as long as you go out, I can assure you that I have a thousand ways to kill you, if you don't believe it, you can try." ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, I definitely won't say it!" He quickly covered his mouth.
I covered Ouyang Che with a dirty cloth on his head, and then asked the big head to take him to the street, and walked far away from Yuping's house before letting him go.
We interrogated Ouyang Che, Yuping didn't know anything, although she was also a friend, but I think it might be safer for her not to know this.
After letting Ouyang Che go, we thought about the next thing for a while. I told them about the idea of destroying the carriage.
Qingxue frowned, as if she didn't quite understand, "Four Tigers, now that the guards in the capital have been relaxed, why don't we go to the castle to look for the white crystal, didn't your grandmother say that finding the white crystal can make a big deal?" ”
