Chapter 172: The Post Station Bamboo Tower

readx;? Yang Jing would not be surprised at all by Zong Yun's joining, because Yang Jing knew very well in his heart how great the temptation of Tai Chi was for a Taoist cultivator. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Zong Yun is a meticulous work of the White Bull Sect, but thanks to Yang Jing's desperate efforts, he successfully caught him, although Luo Jiaoping is the governor of the Criminal Division, but now he needs to escort Song Ci to Jiangling to take office, and even Song Ci has not interfered in this matter, so he has nothing to say.

And Luo Jin, the deputy commander of the Yuezhou Army, is now cooperating with Li Yu of the Imperial City Division, through the line of Lu Chang'an, tracking the foundation of the White Bull Sect, Zong Yun's big trouble can be thrown to Yang Jing, he is naturally happy to see it, and moreover, he, like Luo Jiaoping, no longer dares to murder Yang Jing, after all, he has just contacted Zhao Jingyin last time, and the conspiracy has not yet been launched.

Li Zhun and the others were still worried that their five elite guards had followed Song Ci and would not protect Yang Jing in the future, but at this time, with Zong Yun, a big master, they were all at ease.

Moreover, Song Fengya and Xu Fengwu also followed Yang Jing, plus Zong Yun and the secret inspectors of the Imperial City Division, the manpower around Yang Jing was enough.

After leaving the Song Mansion, Yang Jing returned to the other courtyard, arranged all the work in the future, and took Zong Yun, Song Fengya and others to Yuedongyi non-stop.

Yuedongyi is located in the southernmost part of Baling, all the way down, the vegetation is becoming more and more dense, all the eyes are dark green, where there is still half a minute of autumn Xiao Suo and yellowing, the autumn rain is also getting more and more intense, to the left of Yuezhouyi, has evolved into heavy rain.

Looking at the rain curtain outside the car window, Yang Jing couldn't help frowning, because the heavy rain would wash away all traces, and it would become more difficult to find clues.

With Wang Dou leading the way, it was the old horseman in the county government who drove the car, who was familiar with the ground in Balingjing, and at night, they finally came to Yuedongyi.

The post station was as dilapidated as imagined, with wooden fences and bamboo fences enclosing the four stilted buildings with local characteristics, and the stilted buildings were also built into a courtyard-like layout, enclosing a large open-air courtyard in the middle, and the post station was at the foot of the mountain, backed by Niuma Mountain, damp and muddy everywhere.

Yi Cheng is an old man of fifty or sixty years old, his hair has turned gray, he has a bit of a master's bearing, he is bent over, with three or five servants of the post station, the first few are the catchers of the Baling County Ya, and there are two who need to guard Zhou Nanchu and Lu Yueniang, and they did not come out to meet Yang Jing's team.

Six or seven days have passed since the crime, and no matter how much the crime scene is protected, it is estimated that many traces have begun to dissipate, coupled with the continuous heavy rain, Yang Jing did not expect to be able to dig out too many valuable clues, so he did not check the scene immediately, but decided to meet Zhou Nanchu and Lu Yueniang first.

Wang Buliu is old after all, although his body is still quite strong, but Yang Jing still let him rest first, and took Zong Yun and Song Fengya to the bamboo building where Zhou Nanchu and Lu Yueniang were imprisoned.

This was the first time Yang Jing had brought Zong Yun to work, and he also wanted to test Zong Yun's ability to see how much help this true disciple of the Nan Wu Sect could bring to him.

However, judging from the current situation, it is not too optimistic, because Zong Yun is silent, like a proud peacock, he disdains to talk to Yang Jing and others, and even if he speaks, he is asking Yang Jing about and discussing boxing techniques, and Yang Jing naturally wants to hang his appetite.

At this time, the stilted building has not been much different from the later generations, the upper floor lives people, the lower floor raises livestock, although along the way also saw the barren and remote Yuedong territory, but the pig that screams at the lower floor of the bamboo building is very fat, black hair like a needle, it is a big wild boar that is caught and raised!

These wild boars are not as docile as domestic pigs, and they seem to be aware of the arrival of strangers, and their eyes exude a compelling cold glow in the dark night, and they feel uncomfortable when they see Song Fengya.

There are wild boars on the lower level, and the air on the upper level and even the entire post station will not be fresh, not so much a post station as a camp inhabited by primitive tribes.

The old post is called Yuan Weidao, there is a sick son Yuan Shuxiang, it is said that the son does not want to be a post again, he followed Yuan Weidao to read the scriptures when he was a child, and is now working hard in another building, planning to participate in the imperial examination.

Yang Jing saw that Lao Yicheng did not have an umbrella and walked in the rain, he was already very accustomed to this kind of days when the wind and rain came and went, his body was so cold that he shivered, and he also had an indescribable sympathy in his heart, just like seeing the parents of later generations who picked up waste to make money and sent their children to college.

The catchers guarding the small building are all people from Baling County, who are not only familiar with Yang Jing, but also worship, and after saluting, they opened the door and let Yang Jing and others enter the room on the second floor of the small building.

Because it is a bamboo building, I am worried that Zhou Nanchu and Lu Yueniang will escape easily, so in addition to solving physiological problems, the catchers will tie up their hands and feet.

There was a fire pit in the center of the room, but there were only sporadic embers left, and the catchers hurriedly lit the fire pit.

Yang Jing glanced around, there were no superfluous furnishings in the room, a bamboo bed was covered with a shabby quilt, exuding a sour smell of sweat, and Zhou Nanchu, the son-in-law who was high in brocade clothes and jade food on weekdays, was curled up on it with Lu Yueniang, shivering with cold.

When the fire was lit up, they saw Yang Jing, and their faces became extremely ugly, although Yang Jing was tired all the way, and his face was tired, but after going through so many things, and being in charge of the spies of the Imperial City Division, even characters like Luo Jin and Luo Jiaoping have been rectified, and they have also fought with big eunuchs like Wang Nianen, Yang Jing has already developed a temperament that is not angry and self-assured.

In such a comparison, Yang Jing is getting higher step by step, and the spring breeze is proud, but Zhou Nanchu is getting more and more mixed up, after losing to Yang Jing three times and twice, like a lost dog, Lu Yueniang was able to get out of Yan Lichun's case, and thanks to Yang Jing's help to speak, now that they meet, the two can't help but feel a little ashamed of themselves.

Yang Jing didn't mean much to show off, because he no longer had hatred for Zhou Lu and the others, or even disgust, these two people were no longer people of the same world as him, if there was still a little connection, then there was only gratitude to the old man Lu, and he didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha.

"Your Excellency, please be seated. The catchers beckoned Yang Jing to sit down on the edge of the fire, and Yuan Weidao immediately asked people to send hot tea soup and millet wine, and the flames baked the clothes of Yang Jing and the others to steam, and the originally humid room finally had a trace of warmth.

Song Fengya took the hot tea, and just took a sip, then stared straight at the corner of the room, very surprised.

Yang Jing followed her gaze, but saw a python entrenched in the corner, with thick thighs, hissing and spitting letters!

Song Fengya subconsciously moved to Yang Jing's side, Yang Jing looked at this colorful python, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Zong Yun's face did not change, and he said disdainfully: "As far as the family snake is concerned, why make a fuss. ”

Yicheng Yuan Weidao smiled a little embarrassedly: "It frightened a few adults, the natives here have the custom of raising fierce beasts to watch their homes, among them, the most snakes are watchers, and there are some when the old people first arrived... It's a little uncomfortable, but now it's a local custom, and I hope a few adults won't be surprised..."

As soon as Yuan Weidao explained this, Song Fengya felt a lot more at ease, although she had good martial arts, but in the end, she was a girl, and it was the nature of most girls to be afraid of rats, caterpillars, cockroaches and snakes and scorpions.

"The natives here are also smart, and with these housekeeping snakes, it has saved a lot of trouble..."Yang Jing smiled at Yuan Weidao, and also dispelled the old Yicheng's anxiety.

Lu Yueniang didn't care, she grew up in Miao Village, and she didn't have much fear of snakes and scorpions, and Zhou Nanchu was obviously afraid of this housekeeper snake, and the housekeeper snake raised its head because of the firelight, so Zhou Nanchu subconsciously shrank inside.

"Untie them. Yang Jing saw that the two of them were pitiful, and he couldn't bear it, so the catchers hurriedly restrained the two.

Yang Jing picked up the big bowl of home-brewed rice wine on the small table by the fire pond and handed it to Zhou Nanchu and Lu Yueniang, who just turned their faces away coldly and did not appreciate it.

Yang Jing just smiled, this reaction was already expected by him, but he didn't feel embarrassed, so he said straight to the point: "Tell me about the situation at that time." ”

Zhou Nanchu and Lu Yueniang glanced at each other, the latter snorted coldly, and said to Yang Jing: "Why do you tell you! We are innocent and have done nothing, but these splashes have arrested us as criminals, and there is no royal law!"

Yang Jing restrained his smile and stared at Lu Yueniang and said: "Since you are innocent, why do you want to escape, you don't want people to abscond as a fear of crime, you should stay in the post station honestly and wait for the official!"

"Yang is a criminal case magistrate in Baling County, responsible for the criminal prosecution in the territory, if you think that the official is not qualified for interrogation, the official is too lazy to ask, the exile prisoner absconded during the detention period, the crime is increased by one degree, and it cannot be redeemed again, come here, take Zhou Nanchu back to the county government first and wait for the county lord to deal with it!"

As soon as Zhou Nanchu heard that the crime was increased by one degree, his face immediately turned pale, because if he committed another crime, it would be a prison sentence and he would be in prison!

What scared him even more was that after being sentenced to exile, the Zhou family spent money, so he didn't tattoo words on his face, if he was sentenced to prison, the tattoos on his face could not be avoided, and he would have to live with the brand of shame in the future, and it would be difficult to get ahead!

"Wait!"

Seeing that the catchers were about to come and arrest him, Zhou Nanchu gritted his teeth and finally compromised.

"I said... I said just that..."

Lu Yueniang didn't seem to expect Zhou Nanchu to bow her head to Yang Jing, looking at the dejected Zhou Nanchu, her heart was full of anger, both angry at Zhou Nanchu's cowardice, and angry at Yang Jing's villain's coercion!

Zhou Nanchu is already physically and mentally exhausted, and the phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken, not to mention that Yang Jing is not a chicken that has shed its hair, but a dormant dragon, and now it is a human dragon that is rising wildly!

"That night, I rested after dinner, I don't know if I was too tired or what, in short, I slept very hard, and then I was woken up by Li Mu's screams..."

"I can't see who the murderer is, when I opened my eyes, the room was pitch black, and the murderer dragged Li Mu out of the room, very fast, I couldn't see the person's appearance at all... Even... I'm not even sure what the hell is that... Is it human or not..."

"As for Yueniang, she has been secretly protecting me, and after hearing the movement, she ran in, but I didn't expect that thing to go and return, Yueniang fought with it, and almost died, so she could only escape with me..."

"What does that thing look like? How can you not tell if it's a human being or a ghost?" Yang Jing couldn't help but ask when he heard this, but Zhou Nanchu turned his gaze to Lu Yueniang.

"At the time... I was overly frightened... I don't remember it very well... Yueniang has fought with it, or Yueniang said..."

Lu Yueniang didn't want to talk to Yang Jing, but Zhou Nanchu threw the topic to her, and she had to say impatiently: "I'm sure, that thing is definitely not human!"

"It's not a person, how can you be sure?" Yang Jing became more and more surprised, and even Zong Yun's cold and indifferent gaze was filled with curious ripples!

Lu Yueniang hesitated, gritted her teeth, and lifted her sleeves, but the sleeves were stuck with the bloodstains, and when she tore them open, Lu Yueniang's face turned yellow, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
