[989] Looking for death
The open door of the back hall of the yamen swayed slightly in the yin wind, and the door shaft kept creaking slightly.
The wind and rain slanted and fell on the ring in front of the back hall, wetting the beams and tiled floors.
Several ghost fire oil lamps in the back hall were blown out by the yin wind one after another.
Only the lamp embedded with centipede beads was left, which brought some soft light in the darkness, and also illuminated the fierce look on the face of the determined city god civet Tianyun, and the cold gaze in his eyes.
"But that Su Gongzi is likely to be an envoy appointed by the lord. In a panic, the judge hurriedly reminded the city god and the civet Tianyun.
But in the sound of wind and rain, he also lowered his voice and did not dare to make it loud.
"I know, but as long as he doesn't die in Tiantong City, what are you afraid of?" The iron-hearted Tanuki Tianyun said coldly: "In the wilderness, the night is deep, and it is a rainstorm day, and it is normal for the road to slip on a rainy day. At such a time, it is also reasonable to say that the unannounced visit who insisted on driving at night caused the adults to be careless on the road, and the car broke down and fell to death on the underworld. βγ
When these words came out, Tanuki Tianyun's eyes were always gloomy and cold. He had no mercy, and there was no fear in his eyes, only viciousness and cold-bloodedness.
Over the years, under the pretext of building a school hall and improving the living and learning environment of students, he has asked for many grants to the Yuque Palace of the Nine Shadows Kingdom under the pretext of building a school hall and improving the living and learning environment of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
But when the money arrived in Tiantong City, it was just over the books of the fake account book, and then it flowed into the purse of the judge, the curator and Tanuki Tianyun.
For this alone, Tanuki Tianyun will inevitably be imprisoned or die.
As long as Xiao Shizhu asks Liuyun, he can always ask for some clues.
Tanuki Tianyun does not allow this kind of thing to spread, killing people is the best way, dead people can't speak, and dead ghosts can't deceive corpses to confess guilt.
Tanuki Tianyun is unwilling to die, nor is he willing to go to prison as a slave.
The only solution is murder.
Liuyun will die, and Xiao Shizhu will also die.
Courage comes from the fact that Tanuki Tianyun and they don't know that Su Gongzi is Xiao Shizhu.
The judge on the opposite side pondered carefully in fear, and after thinking about it, he also put away his worries, nodded his head heavily, and gritted his teeth in response: "Okay, I'll arrange it." βγ
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands bulged, which made the judge emboldened.
He is also the beneficiary of the stolen money, his lips are cold, if something happens to Tanuki Tianyun, he will not be able to escape from the judge of Tiantong City.
Now it's hard to ride a tiger, so it's better to do things desperately.
"I'll arrange for the heroes to come back at dawn, and we'll be able to sleep peacefully from tomorrow. "The judgment of determination is also determined, turn around and leave.
Soon he went out, left along the ring corridor, and disappeared in front of the eyes of the city god civet Tianyun.
The wind howled, and the rain continued to fall from the sky. Because of the construction of drainage canals in the city, there is not much water on the roads.
But on the underworld outside the city, it was muddy.
The beast's claws stomped across the muddy ground, splashing patches of muddy water, leaving clearly visible paw prints. Soon it was followed by the wheels that flew rapidly, and it was crushed beyond recognition.
Xiao Shizhu's carriage galloped in the rain on a rainy night, leaving Tiantong City and heading south.
The soldiers of the forbidden army, wearing hats and robes, followed the black monkey outside the car and drove at night.
Xiao Shizhu took Liuyun and Qinglan, as well as the accompanying fungus people in the car. But Danshui Sanjie, no one was in the car.
Xiao Shizhu already knew that the three heroes of Danshui, except for Abe, the other two ghosts were willing to enter the palace as officials, so there was no need to stay in the city for this trip. Moreover, Abe clearly told Xiao Shizhu that the city god civet Tianyun will repay it, and the little belly and chicken intestines must have a grudge against Liuyun. If you want to protect Liuyun and not expose Xiao Shizhu's identity, you have to leave Tiantong City as soon as possible.
Xiao Shizhu had this intention, so he wrote the appointment letter to Abe in Abe's house and asked him to transfer it to the other Danshui Liangjie. He took Liuyun and them out of the city in the rain.
Leaving in such a hurry, it's not that Xiao Shizhu was afraid of a small city god, it's just that he has been away from Yuque City for some days, and many major events in the country are waiting for him to go back to decide, as well as important things such as the plague in Dongyingzhou and the strategic deployment after the rainy season, all of which are for Xiao Shizhu to decide personally.
He couldn't stay here for too long, as for the matter of Tanuki Tianyun, he just left it to Xia Xing. Xia Xing was sensitive and upright, and handed over the corrupt officials to her, Xiao Shizhu was very relieved.
As long as Tanuki Tianyun violates the law, it will definitely not be over.
Of course, Xiao Shizhu can go back with peace of mind.
At this time, Xiao Shizhuan sat in the car, looking at an ancient book of the underworld - "The Legend of the Iron Mirror".
It is said to be written by an old ghost in the past, written about some ghosts in the underworld who are not suitable for children, the portrayal is lifelike, and the plot description is also very detailed.
Qinglan and the other fungus people were all closing their eyes to recuperate, but Liuyun, who was holding his burden, was still curiously looking at everything around him.
Xiao Shizhu's carriage is ordinary on the outside, and the inside is not too big, but it is a sparrow, although it is small, it has all kinds of organs.
Bookcases stand on either side, filled with all kinds of books. There are a few cases, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are also all available. It was covered with a silk gold thread blanket, and it was cushioned with dark flowers and bright yellow satin. It's soft and comfortable to sit on.
The other utensils are also either gold or jade, even if there are a few porcelains mixed with them, it is also pure and delicate porcelain with clear and vivid decorations. Crystal clear and sparkling under the soft light of the centipede beads. A cart of things, although most of them are old artifacts from the era of the ancient gods, the total value is enough to buy a Tiantong City.
And Liuyun, who was dazzled by it, had never sat on such a soft cushion, and was always restless. looked at it, and found that in this car, it looked undazzling, that is, the ordinary hand pot that Xiao Shizhu often lifted.
It is precisely because of being in these expensive things that Liuyun is even more uncomfortable.
Xiao Shizhu slowly put down the book, sandwiched it in the book with a bookmark inlaid with bamboo and jade, and pushed the food box at hand to Liuyun: "Eat some." βγ
Inside are the milky white, filamentous dragon whisker crisp, and light cyan fairy plum, vermilion god plum and other pastries and fruits.
There are also apricots that can only grow in winter when Xuanyanzhou looks at the sea, immortal apricots that ripen in spring, and jujube paste cakes bought from Tiantong City.
The shy and timid Liuyun hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to.
Xiao Shizhu didn't force her, but said: "If you're hungry, take it yourself, don't be formal." βγ
After that, Xiao Shizhu paused his hand pot and took a sip of the hot tea in the lake.
"By the way, Liuyun, do you have a renovated school building every year?" After Liuyun nodded silently, Xiao Shizhu, who put down the teapot, smashed his mouth and asked, "There are also ring corridors, library pavilions, have they all been renovated and renovated?"
Liuyun was slightly stunned by Xiao Shizhu's inexplicable words, and then shook his head silently after thinking about it for a while, and asked in confusion: "Aren't the corridors around the house and the library pavilion undamaged?
"Yes, I also think it's strange, I see that the building of the school hall is not newly built, but it is not damaged, so I think it is strange. Xiao Shizhu nodded slowly, and said thoughtfully: "There is also a barn, I haven't seen it either." βγ
The wind and rain outside the car are still there, and the sound of wind and rain is endless. On the underworld road shrouded by wind and rain at night, Xiao Shizhu's carriage drove lonely on the underworld road, heading south.
In the car, Liuyun was even more stunned, blurted out without thinking, and asked Xiao Shizhu: "Lord, what does the school want a barn?"
At the same time, I secretly thought in my heart, could it be that the school palace in the Yuque Palace is with a barn?
"The Chenghuang of Tiantong City gave me a book, saying that some students live outside the city, and in order to facilitate the children to go to school, they built a animal shed and livestock shed, raised some beast souls with good foot strength, and pulled a car to transport the students to and from school. Xiao Shizhu smiled awkwardly and said simply.
There was already anger in his heart, and he remembered that the Tiantong City City God had asked him for this kind of funding twice.
Today, when I walked around the school hall, I didn't see anything, and the money was wasted.
What made Xiao Shizhu even more angry was that after the money was used, what was the situation, it should have been reported after Lu Wu sent someone to investigate. But so far, Xiao Shizhu has not received any return.
In fact, he himself was too busy to forget about it. If it weren't for the fact that I arrived in Tiantong City today, I wouldn't be able to remember, so I would have been gone.
This kind of bold and deceitful thing has not yet been found out in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and I don't know how many there are.
But Xiao Shizhu was not overwhelmed by anger, and his anger never surfaced.
At the same time, Liuyun's innocent eyes looked at Xiao Shizhu and asked, "Then why do you want to give students a place to live? That is the place where we can rest after school." During the New Year's holidays, you can go home, but the problem is that most of the students' homes are in Tiantong City, or in Danshui County, and they don't need to be sent by the school. If the school hall sends the students back to pick them up, how many carriages will it take. βγ
At the end, Liuyun added: "We have more than 600 students, and we need at least a few hundred carriages to transport all the students in and out of the school." βγ
In one sentence, it made Xiao Shizhu laugh without anger.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, it would take hundreds of wagons to get you all out and in. Xiao Shizhu said with a smile, but the anger in his chest did not decrease but increased.
Such a simple thing, he Xiao Shizhu was actually blinded, how could he not be angry?
It was Liuyun who woke up Xiao Shizhu, otherwise he really thought that the school hall in Tiantong City was really maintaining vehicles and raising beast souls somewhere, specifically to serve the students studying here.
"It seems that we have to check it carefully, not only Tiantong City, but also other places may have such a thing. Xiao Shizhu thought secretly while controlling his anger.
"Lord, who told you that we have a beast shed?" Liuyun, who didn't know what exactly happened, asked curiously and bluntly, "Tell you that these people won't lie to you, right?"
"Well, they lied to me. Xiao Shizhu nodded and clenched his fists. The green tendons on the back of the hand bulged, and then dissipated with the five fingers.
"There are still people who dare to lie to you?" was still a little naΓ―ve, and a suspicious glint flashed in his eyes.
She believes that Xiao Shizhu is a high-ranking existence in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and is also admired by all the people, and even Liuyun admired and admired Xiao Shizhu very much before she met him.
She didn't know, how could anyone be willing to lie to such a good lord?
It can only be said that Liuyun is still a little naΓ―ve.
"Because there are always some ghosts who want to find death, and naturally they will lie to me. Xiao Shizhu didn't want to go into details, and a simple summary was an answer to Liuyun.
At the same time, he also sensed the dampness brought by the wind and rain outside the car, and the murderous aura suddenly appeared.
Xiao Shizhu moved his ears at the same time, listened attentively, and from the noisy sound of wind and rain, he also heard the sound of hurried footsteps from behind the car, and the splash of water on the muddy ground after his feet landed.
Since escaping from the wild southern part of Huangquan and returning from death, Xiao Shizhu has completely controlled the restlessness in his body, and there are many mysterious powers that do not listen to his mobilization, and his five senses and six senses have been greatly improved.
Footsteps could be heard clearly from the sound of wind and rain, and it was a breeze.
He glanced at Liuyun, thinking that he was afraid that he was only coming for Liuyun, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: "I just said that someone was looking for death, and the person who was looking for death was sent to the door." βγ
The murderous atmosphere in the rain is getting closer and closer, and the temperature outside the car has also dropped significantly.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, Qinglan had already woken up, looked at the door of the car vigilantly, heard the forbidden soldiers who were driving the car, and asked loudly in the wind and rain: "Who are you? What are you going to do to stop the car on a rainy night?"
Outside the car door, the lone lamp on the car door emitted a soft light that seemed to be weak and could not help the wind, and it could only illuminate about three or five feet around the door.
Under the light, the black monkey grinned and showed a fierce face.
The forbidden soldiers who were driving the car also held the handle of the waist knife at their waist.
Under the light of the lamp, the edges of the soft light are dim, and there are many ghosts. Dozens of black-clad masked male ghosts with sharp blades and hats on their heads stood in the wind and rain, surrounding the carriage.
In the darkness, these dozens of male ghosts showed a fierce light, staring at the surrounded carriage without saying a word.
Sen Ran's cold gaze was like a sword and a sword, revealing a murderous opportunity.
The sharp weapon and treasure knife held in his hand also appeared in the cold light in the night wind and rain.
Xiao Shizhu asked Qinglan to protect Liuyun in the car, and walked out without hesitation, standing between the black monkey and the forbidden soldiers.
Xiao Shizhu, who was not frightened, looked around, and after seeing the surroundings clearly, he slowly asked without hurrying or slowing: "There are really a lot of people coming, with murder weapons, stopping the car in the middle of the night, what are you going to do?"
The wind and rain flew obliquely, the ground was muddy and muddy, and the muddy water was also flowing slowly on the underworld.
Most of the ghosts surrounding the carriage did not say a word, and their cold eyes remained fixed on the carriage in front of them.
Only the ghost who was standing in front of the cart-pulling beast soul opposite Xiao Shizhu replied coldly in the noisy wind and rain: "Kill." βγ
It seems that they are coming for Liuyun, or maybe they are coming for Xiao Shizhu.
"Let's go. Xiao Shizhu pursed his lips, let out a disdainful cold snort, and said aloud to the ghosts around him: "Find another place to die, don't come here." Otherwise you will die an ugly death. βγ
Xiao Shizhu was already in a very bad mood, Tie Qing's face was full of murderous energy, and his gaze was even colder than the gaze of the ghosts surrounding them, and even colder than the wind and rain in the sky.
But he didn't bother to kill these sneakers, he didn't dare to face him head-on, and he didn't even have to practice a second-rate killer with a trick and a half.
The lightning reappeared, piercing the sky and tearing open the darkness of the night, and the rain became heavier, and the raindrops fell more and more rapidly.
