Chapter 44: The Maiden II
The dead people were all like Yang Bo, their faces were dark, their bodies were stiff, their eyes were wide or closed, and their expressions were extremely terrifying, as if they had seen something extremely terrible.
Bai Shisan watched the government's arrest to maintain the situation on the spot, and he didn't need himself for the time being.
Sun Wu and Sun An in Washington stood in front of the corpses without saying a word, their fists clenched, and the faces of some of the entourages with poor psychological quality were as white as snow.
Bai Shisan took a deep breath, no matter whether the people of the Sun Mansion were waiting to see him or not, there were some things that had to be asked clearly.
"How did these people die?"
Sun An's eyes immediately widened when he heard the word "death", he hurriedly walked to Bai Thirteen's side, grabbed Bai Thirteen's collar and said angrily: "Who do you say is dead? She just fell asleep......"
"Second brother, what are you doing here!Brother Bai asked what happened to the case?" Sun Wu looked apologetic at Bai Shisan, who did not resist and let Sun An beat him, and dragged Sun An, who was crying like a tearful man, away.
The two of them were talking to each other under the wall not far away, and their words seemed intense.
"Mrs. died of natural causes while standing in front of the window, but after Li Er's autopsy, she said that she had been dead for more than half a month, and the body was dead and not decomposing. As for the others, some were frightened or hanged on the beams of the house by the aquatic plants that they didn't know where they came from.
What's even more outrageous is that there was a servant girl in the west of the city, whose corpse was decomposed, and some parts were eaten by wild beasts. ”
Huasheng has been investigating this matter these days, and the more he investigates, the more absurd it becomes.
Bai Thirteen's complexion is not very good-looking, maybe this is the calamity that Bo Qian said.
Standing in front of the window and dying for more than half a month, Sun Yu was obviously fine half a month ago. And what aquatic weeds, what are eaten by wild beasts.
The ghosts and monsters along the mountain city can't be prevented, can't the beasts be prevented?
"It's really weird. Bai Thirteen was cold, and the feeling of being watched in Nayizhuang has become more and more obvious recently, especially after coming to Washington today.
I seem to be being targeted by some flood beast, and that feeling is trembling from the bottom of my heart.
"Second brother!Second brother!!"
Suddenly, there was an exclamation behind him, and Bai Shisan turned his head to see that Sun An had actually fainted.
"Commander Sun, are you okay?" Hua Sheng and Bai Shisan hurriedly ran to the corner where the Sun brothers were talking, and looked at Sun An, who was carried on Sun Wu's back, with complicated expressions.
"The second brother hasn't eaten well in the past few days, and the death of the eldest sister has hit him too hard. Sun Wu glanced at Sun Wu on his back and sighed.
Bai Shisan nodded, grabbed Sun An's hanging arm, took it, and said, "His body is too weak, help him go back to the house and have a good rest." ”
Sun Wu stopped where he was and looked at Bai Thirteen in embarrassment.
"Brother Bai, can you let my eldest brother go to your Golden Jade Flower Workshop to recuperate for a few days, Ning Liyun is already living in our Sun Mansion, I am afraid that my eldest brother will be angry when he goes back. ”
"What is this, go ahead, and just talk to Kimber when the time comes. Bai Thirteen replied.
"Thank you. Sun Wu nodded, stopped a carriage on the street, and hurried to the Golden Jade Flower Workshop.
Bai Shisan sent them out of Washington, looking at the carriage in the distance, his heart was heavy.
In the final analysis, Jinyu Huafang is also an industry in Washington, and the Ning family is no longer a human being, and it is estimated that they will come to the door.
It's not that these catchers haven't seen dead people, but they haven't seen so many dead people who are dying in such a miserable state.
Compared with Bai Thirteen, who had just escaped from the battlefield and had seen the real corpse mountain and sea of blood, their state of mind was still a little immature.
"Brother Hua, do we still have to fight it ourselves? This is no longer a single homicide case that can be fooled by a few death row inmates, this is a big case that can threaten everyone present, ask for help from the Fucheng side." ”
Bai Shisan narrowed his eyes, and used a bamboo pole to pick up the white cloth covering the corpses, and several corpses had strangulation marks on their necks that strangled their heads to blue-gray.
Hua Sheng opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by another voice.
"As for whether to ask for help or not, that's up to us in the City Guard Mansion. Also, if the magistrate dies, then the affairs of the mountain city should be under our control. Ning Liyun led Ning Ke into the gate of Washington, and his unbridled laughter could be heard from a long distance.
And next to Ning Ke, there was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, and looking at Ning Liyun's attitude towards that person, there was a trace of respect.
"I didn't expect the general army to come in person. Hua Sheng said in a deep voice, looking at the three people opposite, their faces were a little unkind.
The general army along the mountain city, Ning Zongyun, is also Ning Ke's father, and his strength was at the peak of the seventh grade as early as two years ago. It is a level with the 36th road stele opener, Fangcun Mountain.
But Ning Zongyun is undoubtedly more than Fang Cunshan a round younger, and his potential has not been exhausted.
"I've bothered Hua to catch the head and handle the case, I don't know if I can find out anything?" Ning Zongyun had the harmless smile of ordinary people on his face, and his clothes were just ordinary linen shirts.
Bai Shisan had been standing here for a while, and he still couldn't believe that such a middle-aged man who had absolutely no characteristics in the sea of people would be a big man who commanded the entire guards of the mountain city.
Huasheng shook his head.
"Hua Zhutou has worked hard, but since you haven't found anything, don't check it, just leave it to us. Ning Zongyun smiled lightly, what he could say lightly was extremely heavy here in Huasheng.
"I don't know what Lord Zongjun means, this case is closed?" Hua Sheng gritted his teeth and his voice was cold.
"No, no, no, Hua Zhutou misunderstood what I meant. I mean, you don't have to look it up, just leave it to our city guards. ”
After hearing this, Bai 13 suddenly realized, blocked in front of Huasheng, and used the thick black that he had always admired in his previous life.
"I don't intend to offend the Lord General Army, but I still want to say that it is the responsibility of the city guard to guard the city along the mountain, and it is not the responsibility of the yamen to deal with cases large and small along the mountain city?
After hearing this, Ning Zongyun and the people of the Ning family behind him looked at each other and smiled, looking at Bai Shisan like a fool.
"Your name is Bai Thirteen, right? I've heard about you, and your poems are good. But the truth is in books, and being a person is outside of reading, I hope you don't learn from those literati who criticize everywhere, just do a good job of reading people, and don't ask about the rest.
Also, it doesn't hurt to tell you. I will take over the position of the city guard, I will also take over the affairs of the yamen, and I will also take shelter in the entire mountain city. ”
"There is such a dedicated general army as you in the mountain city, why don't you worry? Then this case will be handed over to the general army, Brother Hua, let's go." Bai Shisan arched his hand towards Ning Zongyun, pulling Huasheng who seemed to be fixed in place.
"Why?" Hua Sheng said in a low voice, the blue tendons on his forehead flared up, and his stubborn temper came up again.
Bai Shisan held Hua Sheng tightly, pulled him away stiffly, and when he went out of Washington, he noticed the bright and dazzling eyes on the street, and Hua Sheng couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
I haven't been humiliated in years.
"Bai Thirteen, do you know! He Ning Zongyun wants to control Yanshan City alone, the original prosperity of Washington is gone, but fortunately, there is a young lady, and there is still me in the yamen. As long as it survives this time, Washington will still exist.
However, today, the people of their Ning family are going to take over the yamen of our Washington government, and they want my home, the home where I have lived for more than ten years! Without the backing of the yamen, we are not even as good as some rich businessmen in the mountain city. It's all gone......"
Huasheng, an eight-foot man, is like a lost dog at the moment, slumped next to the foul-smelling swill, crying like a child.
"I know, Brother Hua, I've always known that. But please don't do stupid things, Washington is your Washington, but the yamen is the king of Beiliang. I know that you are unwilling and complain that you have not kept the foundation of Master Hua, but there is no way to do it. ”
Bai Shisan squatted beside Hua Sheng, and then said, "Drink the bar, it's enough." ”
Hua Sheng calmly looked down, did not answer, got up and patted the soil on his body, and went in the direction of Longmen Liquor Store.
Bai Shisan shook his head speechlessly, and trotted closely behind Huasheng: "Wait for me!"
The second floor of Longmen Liquor Store
The affairs of Washington have long been rumored along the mountain city, and the Longmen Liquor Store is also known as a private intelligence station. When the owner of the wine shop saw Bai Shisan and Hua Sheng, who had a decrepit face, he didn't say anything, and directly recommended them to the second floor.
"It's cleaner up there, and the wine money is still the same. The boss looked down and fiddled with the abacus, wearing a dark brown outer hat and a mellow voice.
"Thank you to the owner. "White Thirteen is the right color, not everyone can go up to the second floor of Longmen Restaurant. When they got here, the boss didn't dislike the two of them as lost dogs, and offered to invite them to the second floor, which can be said to be very benevolent.
In this way, Bai Shisan and Hua Sheng would not listen to others pointing at the root of their tongues on the first floor.
Bai Shisan sat opposite Huasheng, and met Zhang Hatshui here again, at this time he was drinking stuffy wine, and finally drank and began to glance at the woman at the next table.
"Brother Bai, what are you looking at?" Hua Sheng was faintly dissatisfied.
Because he couldn't see Zhang Hatshui facing his back from this angle, he could only tilt his head slightly to see the pretty woman sitting on his side.
Hua Sheng saw that Bai Shisan's eyes kept looking back, and thought that it was a lustful and cowardly insect. When I saw the beauty, I forgot the humiliation just now, and I didn't have a long heart.
"Look at Zhang Hatshui, didn't he say that he would go to Fucheng Qingdu?" Bai Shisan glanced at Hua Sheng strangely.
Hua Sheng choked, turned around and saw Zhang Hatshui personally opening an altar of flower carvings, the fragrance of wine instantly diffused, and he served a bowl to the woman at the next table, but was ignored.
Bai Thirteen on the side smiled dumbly: "Why bother?"
Zhang Hatshui also looked at Bai Thirteen and felt that he had lost face. Blowing a mouthful of wine boringly, he patted his thigh and said, "Little girl, appreciate your face?"
The woman in Tsing Yi, who was sassier than a boy, but did not lose her feminine femininity, shook her sword scabbard, and smiled at Zhang Hatshui's unkind smile.
This smile alone is enough to make the Qing'er who think highly of Huayulou gradually become dirty, and Zhang Hatshui, as a representative figure at the scene, suddenly felt that his heart was hit by a sledgehammer, and there was no cure.
"Hey, have you ever seen a woman from a good family go out alone with such an old sword blade?" Bai Thirteen reminded in a low voice on the side.
Zhang Hatshui shook his head disdainfully, as an evil young man with No. 1 in the mountain city, he had plagiarized a truth all year round.
Delicate flowers, where there are thorny roses to stimulate, it is exciting to think about.
"That's it?" Zhang Hatshui pointed to the heroine in Tsing Yi who was full of aura.
Rumble!
Under the stunned eyes of everyone, the girl in Tsing Yi grabbed the finger that Zhang Hatshui pointed at her with her backhand, and grabbed the self-proclaimed evil young man along the mountain with a sideways fall.
Zhang Hatshui flew out and smashed three wine tables, and a squatting on the broken porcelain of the wine bottle leaked through the back door.
Hiss –
"You're with him?" the girl in Tsing Yi tilted her head slightly.
Bai Shisan and Hua Sheng sobered up instantly, their heads shook like rattles, and they said righteously: "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, in fact, what we hate most in our lives is this kind of frivolous person." ”
The girl in Tsing Yi seemed to be very satisfied with this answer, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was inadvertently exposed, like a willow bent by the wind in March.
"That's good, I'll take this person away. ”
