Chapter XIV: Interrogation
At this time, the tiger demon was still cursing Liu Yuanwai.
Liu Yuanwai lowered his head, his tone was very sincere, but there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes.
Zhang Xianling smiled slightly: "Liu Yuanwai, this matter is freely arranged by the county order, since you deny that this is your mother, then the next thing has nothing to do with you and you." ”
Hearing Zhang County's words, although Liu Yuanwai was unhappy in his heart, he also knew that he couldn't do anything now, so he could only give his hand and say: "Since this is the case, the villain will retire first." ”
When he walked to Zhang Xu and Zhiyin's side, Liu Yuanwai said respectfully: "Dao Chief, Master, the promised reward will be sent soon, and please rest assured that the Immortal Master." ”
"Hehe, I'm not in a hurry." Zhang Xu said with a smile.
Liu Yuanwai smiled and nodded, then turned to leave.
Watching Liu Yuanwai leave, Zhang Xian Ling spoke: "Two masters, the next investigation still needs the help of the two of them." ”
"Master Zhang, just say anything, as long as I can do it, I won't shirk." Zhang Xu replied.
Monk Zhiyin also recited the Buddha's name in response: "Amitabha." Then he bowed his head slightly, indicating that I was the same.
Seeing this, Zhang Xianling was also slightly relieved.
He knew that these monks had very strange tempers, especially those monks who were very reluctant to cooperate with the government, and it could be said that they were lucky to be able to get the help of Zhang Xu and the others.
"Master, do you think what this monster said is the truth?" Zhang Xianling looked at the monster in the distance.
Monk Zhiyin frowned and said, "The poor monk thinks that what the monster said has some credibility. ”
Zhang Xu continued: "Have you forgotten that when Liu Qing and Xu Zhi were in Xiaofeng Village before, this Zhang Ergou had already begun to be demonized!" I happened to be there at the time, but I saw Zhang Ergou who was not yet fully demonized. ”
Zhang Xianling patted his head and said, "That's right, I almost forgot, hehe, it seems that this monster is telling the truth." ”
"Poor Dao feels that the top priority now is to find the cause of their demonization, and see if it will affect other people, if it is like an epidemic, other people can also be demonized, then the situation is very bad." Zhang Xu's face was serious.
When Zhang Xianling heard this, his expression became solemn.
"What the Qingxu Daoist said is right, this matter must be investigated."
Zhang Xianling came to the monster and said in a deep voice: "Tiger demon, you said that you are the old mother of Liu Yuanwai, so you can remember what happened to you before." ”
The tiger demon looked depressed at this time, and when he heard Zhang Xianling's words, he said in a low tone: "I'm old, how can I have such a good memory, I only remember that after the unfilial son celebrated my birthday, he went to sleep, who knew that he would become like this when he woke up." ”
"Then what did you eat or worship at the birthday banquet?" Zhang Xianling asked again.
The tiger demon replied: "I'm an old man, so naturally I ate longevity noodles and a longevity banquet prepared by my son, but I'm old and can't eat that much."
"As for worship, I believe in great mercy to save the suffering and save the real people, and I will go to worship his old man every day."
"Which immortal bodhisattva is the Great Mercy Relief Relief Relief True Person?" Zhang Xu interjected and asked.
Zhang Xianling replied: "The great mercy to save the suffering and save the real person is a god worshiped by the people of our Wuxiu County, this immortal was a respected Taoist before his death, and then the people of our county were attacked by many monsters, this Taoist took action to eliminate these monsters and saved the people of Wuxiu County, but the Taoist also died because of his injuries.
Later, in order to commemorate this Taoist chief, the people erected an ancestral hall for him. After a long time, it has become the patron saint in the hearts of the people of our county, and most of the people will worship this great benevolence and salvation during the New Year's Festival. ”
When Zhang Xu heard Zhang Xianling's explanation, he remembered the statue he saw in the restaurant, so he nodded slowly.
Subsequently, Zhang Xianling asked some more questions, and the tiger demon's answer was still ambiguous.
Zhang Xianling looked at Zhang Ergou and the kidnapper.
"Let's say, if you say it well, this county order may make you suffer less torture, otherwise it will ......" Zhang County's face turned gloomy.
Wolf demon Zhang Ergou hurriedly said: "My lord, please speak, I will definitely answer truthfully." ”
The kidnapper also woke up a long time ago, and he hurriedly promised that he would not lie.
"Tell me, what suspicious things did you do before you became a monster?"
The kidnapper spoke first: "My lord, we really haven't done anything, I just brought Ergou to Liufu at that time, I wanted him to see the scenery of Liufu, if something out of the ordinary is that I stole a small bowl of old lady's small bowl of longevity soup, that soup I heard that only the old lady is qualified to drink, and others, even if they are outside Liuyuan, are not qualified." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xianling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "So, just you, Zhang Ergou, and that old lady drank the so-called longevity soup?" ”
The kidnapper replied, "Seems so, sir." ”
When Zhang Xianling heard this, he immediately said to his subordinates: "Go, bring Liu Jiaxing to me." ”
Catch the order quickly, and go to Liufu immediately.
As soon as he returned to Liufu, he was taken to the county government again.
"My lord, I don't know if I'm arraigned again, but what's the matter?" Liu Yuanwai asked cautiously.
Zhang Xianling looked at Liu Yuanwai calmly, and said lightly: "Liu Jiaxing, I heard that when you celebrated your mother's birthday, you gave her a bowl of longevity soup?" ”
Hearing Zhang County's words, Liu Yuanwai was slightly stunned and said: "Yes, my lord, that longevity soup is the blood lingzhi I got from an old pharmacist, although the blood lingzhi is only a small piece, but people can live longer if they eat it."
"This is because I want to do my filial piety for my mother, and I have no other thoughts."
"Blood Lingzhi? Do you have any leftovers? Zhang Xianling asked.
Liu Yuanwai shook his head and said, "This blood lingzhi is only a small piece, and it has been used all. ”
"Where's the old pharmacist?"
"It's in Qianjinzhai in the north of the city." Liu Yuanwai replied truthfully.
Zhang Xianling waved his hand and said, "Come on, go to Qianjinzhai and bring the old pharmacist to me." ”
The action of catching fast was very fast, and after a short time, an old man followed the fast catcher to the county office.
"Villain Wu Feng, see adults."
This emaciated old man in gray cloth hurriedly knelt down after seeing Zhang Xianling.
Zhang Xianling waved his hand to let the old man get up, and then asked, "This Liu Jiaxing once bought blood lingzhi in your store, is there such a thing?" ”
Wu Feng glanced at Liu Yuanwai, then nodded and said, "This is indeed the case." ”
"Where did your blood reishi come from?"
"It was obtained when the villain took his apprentice into the mountains to collect medicine."
"Qingwu Mountain?"
"Yes, sir."
"The Blood Lingzhi, is there anything else?"
"Back to my lord, there is no more."
"Who else did you sell to besides Liuyuan?"
"It was also sold to the shopkeeper of Baoshun Pawnshop."
"Someone, bring the shopkeeper of Baoshun Pawnshop."
Soon, the catcher came back and reported: "Lord Qiyu, the shopkeeper of Baoshun Pawnshop is missing." ”
