Chapter 53: The Case of the Bloody Corps
Qiao Zhi rushed ahead, and Chu Qiguang and Chen Gang hid in the dark waiting for a sneak attack.
However, the fox demon was already seriously injured, and he had just escaped all the way and consumed his physical strength, which aggravated the injury, and he couldn't show the best Terran martial arts, so he was at an absolute disadvantage in all aspects.
The fox demon watched Qiao Zhi shuttle back and forth like a bolt of lightning, and hurriedly retreated backwards.
The two sides fought a few times as fast as thunder, accompanied by the sound of surging air, and in a blink of an eye, the fox demon was defeated, and his body seemed to have been hit hard by a giant hammer, and he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
He said with an angry face: "Orange Cat, as a martial arts powerhouse of the demon clan, why do you want to collude with humans to kill your compatriots?"
Qiao Zhi on the other side walked slowly towards the fox demon: "What about being the same demon clan? you are a fox clan, I am a cat clan, what kind of compatriot are you?"
Seeing that Qiao Zhi was about to kill him, Chu Qiguang immediately stood up and said, "Wait, I still have something to ask him." ”
The fox suddenly vomited blood, and soon convulsed a few times, and fell to a pool of blood.
Qiao Zhi walked up in surprise and checked: "He himself broke his heart, it's too ruthless." ”
Qiao Zhi was puzzled: "Is he afraid that he will leak his secrets? What is the secret of this fox...... Even if you die, you have to save it?"
......
Early the next morning, the murder of Hao Yongnian instantly shocked the entire Qingyang County, and the entire county government moved to thoroughly investigate the bloody case.
Because most of the corpses at the scene were fragmented and bleeding was extremely large, this case was called a bloody corpse case by the investigators.
However, a few days have passed, the bloody corpse case has no clue, the prisoner has not been arrested for a long time, and the magistrate of Qingyang County is full of sadness all day long.
The Hao family even proposed a reward of 1,000 taels to reward the warrior who could catch the murderer.
......
That night, in a study of Ding's family in Qingyang County.
Ding Daoxiao sat behind the desk, looked at the Qingling Daoist in front of him and said, "Did you bring something?"
Qingling Daoist took out a square box and opened it in front of Ding Daoxiao: "Ten Qi Pills, which can enhance Qi and blood and help you reach the peak of Qi and Blood in the Fourth Realm faster." ”
"There is also a lion and tiger bone change ointment, which is a high-level master of Baiyun Temple who uses the muscles and bones of the tiger demon and the lion demon supplemented by thirty-two kinds of herbs to refine seventy-seven and forty-nine days, one is enough for you to transform the bones and bone marrow of the whole body, and reach the limit of the fourth realm. ”
Qingling Daoist closed the square box and said slowly: "It adds up to a total of five thousand taels of silver." ”
Ding Daoxiao looked at this box greedily and distressedly, greed was naturally greedy for the best elixir that the Heavenly Master taught was not supplied to the outside world, and distress was distressed for his own silver.
After all, even if the Ding family is big, and Ding Daoxiao, as a grandson-in-law, spends a lot of 10,000 taels of silver on martial arts training a year, but half of it is spent at once.
Ding Daoxiao couldn't help but say: "Five thousand taels of silver is too expensive. ”
Qingling Daoist took back the box in an instant, and said coldly: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have thought of buying this elixir even if you spent 10,000 taels of silver." What's more, these 5,000 taels are not just for me, the first seat inside and outside the Dan Courtyard, the capital prison, the capital prison, the capital speak, and the head of the warehouse...... All need to share the money, and if you can't afford it, some are buyers. ”
Seeing that the box was about to be taken back, Ding Daoxiao immediately held it down and said with a smile: "I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, I'll let your subordinate Daotong and my little guy go to the silver shop for delivery in a while." ”
Only then did the Qingling Daoist let go and let Ding Daoxiao grab the medicine box.
Ding Daoxiao looked at the medicine box with a satisfied expression, with these coupled with the martial arts he had learned from the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra", he was sure that he would cultivate to the peak of the fourth realm before this year's martial arts, and he would be able to take the identity of a martial arts person. and even strive to break through to the fifth realm......
Locking the medicine box, Ding Daoxiao looked at Qingling Daoren again and said, "Have you heard about the bloody corpse case?"
Qingling Daoist nodded: "I can't control it, tomorrow morning I will go north to investigate the corpse mutiny case with the mages of several other counties, you have to watch the Hao family closely." ”
Ding Daoxiao said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Hao family has long lost a capable person, and it can't change the overall situation." But this time you have to deal with the tail of your hands and tails. ”
The Qingling Daoist sneered: "Take care of yourselves, if it weren't for you...... There will be no such series of corpse mutinies. ”
......
At noon the next day, Chu Qiguang counted the silver in his pocket: "I have to raise people, dogs, and cats every day, and I only have 700 taels left." ”
"Alas, the silver was used too quickly and too quickly, but fortunately, this time the Hao family gave a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, which should be able to give me a wave of blood. ”
After that, Chu Qiguang took Chen Gang and Qiao Zhi to the direction of the county government.
At this moment, in the back room of the county government, He Wenyan, the current magistrate of Qingyang County, looked at the case file in front of him with a sad face, and sighed: "Haven't you had any clues about the prisoner?"
Gu Wei, the fast-shift catcher on the side, buried his head deeply, like an ostrich.
As the head catcher of the fast class, he was responsible for the investigation of various cases in the county in the past, and he was the most socially connected, the highest martial arts, and the most nourishing among the three classes of yamen soap class, strong class, and fast class.
In normal times, not only do you have to collect the fares from the parties when handling cases, but also the expenses for transportation, horses, shoes and socks, meals, and tea...... When the case is not handled, it can also collect fees from prostitutes, coachmen, boatmen, tooth shops, pawnshops, etc., that is, bribes.
However, today's court and outside the court, bribery is common from top to bottom, which has become an omnipresent unspoken rule, and even many people regard it as a common practice, and those who do things without collecting money have become freaks.
Gu Wei is the head catcher, and the total income of a year adds up to a few hundred taels of silver.
But it's okay to let a half-black, half-white person like Gu Wei investigate ordinary cases, but now he hasn't closed his eyes for a few days and nights in this bloody corpse case, but he hasn't found out a result.
Seeing his appearance, He Wenyan, the magistrate of the county, became more and more annoyed, and asked: "I gave you three days, but you haven't even found any trace of the murderer, it's simply incompetent!
Beside He Wenyan, a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes said: "Dad, this case is related to demons, and it's normal that Gu Zhutou can't find out, so don't blame him." ”
He Wenyan, the magistrate of the county, waved his hand to let the head catcher retreat, looked at his son and said, "Wu'er, you don't know that there is a fire burning under the location of the magistrate of Qingyang County, for your father. The above sent me to Qingyang County to measure the land and pay taxes equally, which was opposed by the big households in the county. ”
"Now there are demons under my rule, and there is such a bloody corpse case. If the case can't be solved for a long time...... I'm afraid that the recital for my impeachment is now ready. ”
He Wenyan said with a calm face: "I have a small future, if I ruin the big thing of my teacher's reform and taxation, I will be responsible for my father's death." ”
