Evil and ghostly are often strange and weird, and cases of indiscriminate harm abound.

But after a simple inquiry and visit, Chen Zheng found that the situation of the Huang family was obviously different.

Especially after experiencing Wang Yun's transformation into a corpse demon, he had more thoughts, so he asked a few people to inquire separately.

After receiving the order, Chang Qing, Han Kaiyun, and Ding Laiyou left separately to investigate.

Chai Tiefeng followed Chen Zheng, and at the suggestion, he randomly chose a dilapidated earthen house, knocked on the door and asked.

The one who opened the door was an old farmer over fifty years old, skinny as wood, who only opened the door by a crack, and said nervously and fearfully:

"Two masters, what's the matter?"

Zhuangzi is so big, and what everyone visited obviously let most of the tenants know, Chai Tiefeng took a step forward:

"I'm waiting for the government officials, this is the patrol envoy Lord Chen, I have something to ask you!"

The old man cowered and opened the door:

"Your Excellency, please come in, your Excellency, please come in."

The dilapidated mud house was cold and damp, and the furnishings were shabby, except for a bed and a table, there was no other furniture, and on the bed lay at the moment an old woman with a pale face, covered with a straw mat, and a comatose appearance.

There were things boiling on the earthen stove in the corner, and when Chen Zheng's eyes swept it, he found that it was a small pot of porridge that was as clear as water.

Chen Zheng glanced at it: "This old man, is someone sick at home?" ”

The old farmer said solemnly: "It's my Hun family who is infected with the wind and cold, and his body is weak and he is recuperating." ”

Chen Zheng went to the pot and weighed it: "Sick people, just eat these?" ”

The old man's face was embarrassed, and he said:

"My family doesn't have much rations, if I cook too much at one time, I may not be able to survive this winter, which makes adults laugh."

Chen Zheng's gaze fluctuated slightly.

The old farmer's face was full of ravines and vicissitudes, and his body was also in a slumber manner, obviously engaged in high-intensity and heavy labor all year round.

However, in this world, after working so hard for half a life, even his wife has to cook a pot of porridge when she is sick, how sad it is.

Regardless of ancient or modern, if the cattle and horses pulling the cart are plain and thin, then eighty or ninety percent have bloodsucking worms in their abdomen;

If a person is diligent and hardworking, but finds that his life has been unbearable and has never changed, there must be a jackal and beast eating his flesh and blood.

The old farmer in front of him is like this.

The old farmer didn't know what he was thinking, and he was still cautious:

"The grass people are brave, I don't know what the adults want to ask me?"

Throwing away irrelevant thoughts, Chen Zheng spoke:

"Naturally, I want to ask about the Huang family. You should all know about Huang Dalang, I want to ask if he did anything disgraceful in Zhuangzi before this? ”

The old farmer's face obviously changed, and he subconsciously said in fear:

"Great, my lord, I don't know anything, you still ......"

"Bold!"

This picture is obviously a situation, and Chai Tiefeng on the side snorted coldly:

"Adults ask, do you dare to hide it? Quickly recruit from the truth, otherwise I will immediately bring you back to the government and serve the big punishment! ”

"Great, sir, I, I'm ......"

At this intimidation, the old farmer's whole person suddenly trembled like chaff, and he was even obviously frightened.

"Alright, don't scare him."

Chen Zheng waved his hand and looked at the old farmer:

"If you know anything, don't worry about it, I also sent someone to a few other houses to ask, Huang Debiao won't know which of your households said it."

As soon as these words came out, the old farmer hesitated:

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, I dare to say that....."

Chen Zheng nodded: "So, what did Huang Dalang do before he hit the evil spirit?" ”

The old farmer was still a little scared, and lowered his voice:

"Young Master Huang has done too many bad things. Just said that before the evil spirit, he had harmed Fusheng and his family, not only harming Fusheng's daughter-in-law, but also ruining their family. The people in Zhuangzi are saying that Master Huang is a powerful ghost because he has become a powerful ghost when he hits evil spirits, and he has come to him to ask for his life. ”

"Oh?"

got the clue at once, and Chen Zheng's eyes moved slightly:

"What's going on, let's talk about it in detail."

After opening the chatterbox, the old farmer said quickly:

"Fusheng is the son of an old carpenter in our Zhuangzi, and he found a daughter-in-law next door at the beginning of spring today, called Huaihua.

The married Huaihua is a mute, but she looks no longer delicate, and she is also hard-working, doing pulp washing and sewing work in Master Huang's house, and the young couple are living a pretty good life.

But the good times didn't last long, one day more than a month ago, when Huaihua was about to go back after finishing it, he happened to bump into the drunken Young Master Huang, and then he dragged him to his house and raped him directly......"

It is not uncommon for an evil young man to do this kind of thing, Chen Zheng was expressionless: "And then? ”

The old man lamented:

Huaihua ran back crying, and Fu, who learned the situation, vomited blood on the spot in anger, and then immediately ran to find Master Huang and Master Huang to reason. But he didn't want to think about what kind of person Young Master Huang was? Before he could say a few words, he was beaten by Master Huang, his tendons were broken and fractured, if it wasn't for Master Huang, he might have been beaten to death. ”

But when Master Huang appeared, he didn't give him any justice, but only symbolically closed the confinement of Master Huang, and took out some silver as compensation. However, his wife was humiliated and he was almost beaten to death, how could Fusheng, a man with strong blood, swallow this breath? So he recuperated at home for a month, and after his body was almost recovered, he left Zhuangzi and went to the city to report to the officials, to cure the sin of Young Master Huang. ”

Chai Tiefeng on the side frowned slightly when he listened:

"How could he, a powerless carpenter, sue Huang Debiao's son?"

The old farmer Mu Ran said:

"Who's to say it isn't? He just sued the official here, and within two days, Master Huang learned the news. Then on Fusheng's second way back from Lingqiu County, a few fierce bandits who suddenly appeared out of nowhere to block the road, and without saying a word, he cut off a pair of his legs directly!

Let's get off the book

It is said that Fusheng relied on his hands and climbed on the ground for more than a mile before he was discovered by ......the people in the Zhuangzi.

Needless to say, who sent the bandits, Chen Zheng was silent for a moment and asked:

"So, this Fusheng died like this?"

"Not at the time."

The old farmer said numbly:

"I heard that Fusheng still had one breath left when he was sent home, Huaihua had no choice, begged people everywhere, I don't know how many kowtows, and even begged to Master Huang's mansion.

As a result, somehow, Master Huang really sent a doctor in the house to diagnose and treat the wound, and treated the wound with medicine, Fusheng actually woke up, and the people in the village said at the time that Master Huang was kind, and the sun came out in the west.

But no one could have imagined that within a few days, news suddenly came from Zhuangzi that Fusheng was still dead in bed, with a pool of blood on his chest, and he couldn't see it; And Huaihua also hanged herself on the side, and when she was found, her body was completely stiff. ”

Well?

Chen Zheng's eyes narrowed:

"Fusheng was killed by the Huang family doctor? But if Huang Debiao wants him to die, why bother if he doesn't send a doctor? ”

"Adults don't know, Fusheng's death is not so simple."

The old farmer suddenly hesitated and said:

"Someone in Zhuangzi saw that the day before Huaihua hanged himself, Young Master Huang went to Fusheng's house again, and some people heard Huaihua's cry, probably because he was in front of Fusheng and ...... Huaihua."

"What?"

Chen Zheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and Chai Tiefeng, who was accustomed to seeing pickled things over the years, couldn't help but turn dark:

"What a beast that is inferior to a pig and a dog!"

Zhuangzi is so big, but if there is a big movement, it is impossible for the next-door neighbor not to hear anything.

In connection with what Huang Dalang did before, he completely did such a thing as a *** woman in person.

"This is what Young Master Huang did before he hit the evil spirit."

The old farmer didn't have much anger, and said very numbly:

"My lord, I know these situations, but don't tell Master Huang that I said it, otherwise my family may not be at peace."

Suppressing a little emotion, Chen Zheng nodded:

"Don't worry, we won't mention you."

As he spoke, he took out a few silver bahts from his waist and put them on the table, and in the other party's thousand thanks, he walked out with Chai Tiefeng.

At this time, I saw Chang Qing, Han Kaiyun, and Ding Laiyou also rushed over to report the situation.

The situation they asked was exactly the same as what the old farmer said, only slightly different in details, but the evil things Huang Dalang did were basically the same.

"My lord, it seems that the one who is haunting should be the ghosts of Fusheng and Huaihua."

Chang Qing sighed and said with disgust:

"This Huang Dalang is completely to blame, but we can't ignore it yet, what do you think we should do next?"

Chen Zheng's eyes flashed, and he sneered:

"What else can I do, of course I'm waiting to see a good show, after all, if it's really a powerful ghost, I'm afraid the Huang family's mansion will be very lively these nights!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and brought the four of them back to the Huang family's mansion.

Huang Debiao, who received the news, rushed to the front hall as soon as possible and asked tentatively:

"Lord Chen, have you found out any clues?"

As the saying goes, if there is a father, there must be a son, Chen Zheng glanced at him, and did not mention the matter of Fusheng and Huaihua at all:

"It's a bit of an eyebrow, but it depends on the situation at night. It's up to us to be stationed here, and the evil will come up. ”

"That evil will definitely appear again tonight!"

Huang Debiao's eyes were gloomy, and he lowered his voice and said:

"My lord, let's not hide it, after my son was brought back by the evil spirit, there have been two nursing homes in this house in the past two days that have also been killed by the evil spirit, and the people who really saw it have all died except for my son, I suspect that there is a chance that that thing will be harmful to people tonight!"

"Huh?"

Chen Zheng narrowed his eyes:

"Why didn't you say this just now?"

Huang Debiao sighed helplessly:

"Don't blame me, my lord, on the one hand, because I haven't had time to talk to you about it; On the other hand, this Zhuangzi is now fluctuating, and if the news spreads, the entire Zhuangzi may have to flee, so he has something to hide, please forgive me. ”

As he spoke, he approached Chen Zheng and presented a golden ticket with a denomination of 100 gold baht:

"My lord, this is my apology, please pay more attention tonight, if you can get rid of the evil spirit, there will be a lot of money to thank you, and you can also be regarded as a martial arts practitioner, and you will also bring people to cooperate with you."

Looking closely, Huang Debiao's palms are thick, and his temples are slightly bulging, obviously his martial arts cultivation is not low, and he may even have a level of blood exchange.

But at this age, it can only be regarded as barely strong, Chen Zheng sneered secretly, but he unceremoniously accepted the golden ticket in his hand, and said slowly:

"Okay, then I won't pursue Master Huang's previous concealment, but where are the bodies of the two guards who were killed by the evil spirit?"

Huang Debiao is embarrassed:

"My lord, I have arranged for someone to bury the body outside the Zhuangzi, and it may be more troublesome for you to see it.

However, I have also examined it myself, and I can tell you that those corpses are as dry as my son, as if they have sucked all the essence and blood vitality, but there is not a single wound on the body, which is strange and inexplicable. ”

"I see."

Chen Zheng didn't ask anymore, and looked playful:

"Well, it seems that we won't know until tonight what that evil thing is......"

......

Time flies.

A few hours later.

The sun went down and the whole farm fell into darkness and silence.

After the incident of colliding with evil spirits, the doors and windows of every house were closed, and they did not even dare to sleep at night, so they were always on guard.

At this moment, the Huang family's mansion is also brightly lit everywhere, and the family, the gatehouse, and the remaining few nursing homes are all armed and patrolling everywhere.

As for Chen Zheng, he took four subordinates and sat comfortably in the courtyard in the middle of the mansion.

He sat in the gazebo, his eyes slightly closed, recuperating; Chai Tiefeng and the others were quite nervous, standing in the four corners, all on guard.

In many cases, the dangers faced by the Supervision Department are no less than those of those who punish evil spirits, and one or two of them are only cultivating dirt and marrow, and although they have some self-preservation power, they do not dare to be careless at all.

Half an hour, an hour.

The rich ink color soaked the heavens and the earth, and the whole world was depressed and quiet.

During Chen Zheng's meditation, the spirit of the five senses also spread out unprecedentedly, invisibly reflecting everything around him in his heart.

[Heavenly Eye Alchemy], the realm of the eyes made his five senses and six perceptions to an extremely sharp point.

Although he was sitting in the gazebo, he could clearly sense the breathing, heartbeat, and every tiny movement of the four people around him.

Not only that, but even the gentle night breeze outside the house, the shaking of the grass and trees a few feet away, he also seemed to have a pair of invisible eyes, and he could see it all.

Under such a strong perception, there was almost nothing to hide from Chen Zheng's ears, so he didn't have the nervousness and uneasiness of the two demon slayers next door, but was relaxed, and even waited with some anticipation.

Until the third watch days later.

"Ahh

Suddenly, a short scream came from not far away, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

Call!

Almost as soon as the sound came, the wind suddenly rose, and his tall figure flew out and rushed to the source of the sound.

Including Chai Tiefeng and Changqing, the four people also hurriedly followed.

And after two or three blinks of an eye, Chen Zheng had already swept to the backyard with the sound, and then saw at once:

A man dressed as a nurse is holding a knife and slashing frantically at his companions around him, his eyes are red, and he is described as distorted and crazy, just like the evil Huang Dalang!
