The next day, the locust forest.

Corpse Ground.

"You can't burn it, this is what my Wangjiazhuang ancestors have passed down from generation to generation, how will you live after you burn our Wangjiazhuang? What face do you have to go to see your ancestors and ancestors? ”

Wang Chang took a group of clan elders to stop Wang County's order and a cadre of officials, and kept crying and obstructing the officials from burning the locust forest.

"You Wangjiazhuang don't know whether to live or die, you raise corpses here to make ice, ignore people's lives, and ignore the 200,000 Li people in Chen County, who are you qualified to cry here?"

"Ignoring human life? The corpses raised by my Wangjiazhuang are all slaves, and they all have slaves in hand, so what does it matter if a few slaves die? Wang Chang had a disdainful expression on his face, trying his best to quibble. What's more, there is no longer any difference between slaves and livestock. Can a slave still be considered a human being? Is there still a small number of people who sacrifice to the mountain gods and river gods with living people every year? Why are you staring at my Wangjiazhuang, and you are not convinced! ”

Wang Chang saw that the servants had sprinkled black oil in the locust forest, and the thirteen corpse breeding grounds had also been turned over, and the entire locust forest was filled with the smell of corpses mixed with fire oil, and his heart was in a hurry.

Wang Xian Ling snorted coldly and said, "Don't forget, your ancestor of Wangjiazhuang is also from a slave background!" If you look down on slaves, don't you even look down on your ancestors? It's like forgetting your ancestors! ”

"In addition, Wangjiazhuang killed slaves and controlled ice, and the zombies broke out of the hole and killed thirteen people. Thirteen corpse dens, corresponding to thirteen human lives, don't you understand what it means? ”

Wang Xian Ling was furious, no longer caring about this group of inhumane clan elders, and commanded the officials to start burning the corpses. Suddenly, a raging fire began to rise in the entire locust forest corpse breeding ground, and the fire strung up flames ten zhang high, as if telling the heavens about injustice.

"Take away the old people of Wangjiazhuang! These people are simply a bunch of brutes, old and immortal, they are thieves! People are no different from demons! ”

......

Everything that happened in the locust forest, although Chen Wenqing did not witness it, he could already roughly guess the result.

Wang Xianling is upright, for the country and the people, Chen Wenqing believes that he will be able to handle it very well.

Although the world is difficult now, there are still some good officials who ask for their lives for the people, so that the people can see some hope.

Chen Wenqing and the other three had already left Liuchen County at this time and came to Beiting County, which was eighty miles away from Liuchen County, ready to start completing the third task.

Beiting County has a smaller population than Liuchen County, with a population of about 80,000, and Beiting County is famous for producing Yuhua Stone, and the place where Chen Wenqing is going to this time is Li Mansion.

Li Chengde is a well-known good man in Beiting County, not only for righteousness, but also for the common people of Zhuanghu. Whenever there is a drought, locust plague or epidemic, the Li Mansion will come out to show mercy to the people, and it is a well-known figure in the local area.

It's a pity that more than 20 days ago, seven people had died in the Li Mansion for no reason, and the death was extremely miserable. Among these seven people, the people who died were Li Chengde's closest people, including his children, grandchildren and sons-in-law, etc., but the maids and family members in the house had nothing to do. Despite this, the maids and family members of the Li Mansion have basically fled these days, and there are very few left. Now, there are only a dozen people left in the huge Li Mansion!

There are rumors that maybe the enemies of "Li Dashanren" came to take revenge, so the people who died were close to the Li Mansion. However, it is still unknown whether this "enemy" is a human or a ghost.

Under the panic of the people, Li Fu invited people from all walks of life to come to help, and the purpose of Chen Wenqing's trip was also this.

The three of them came to a mansion, only to see that this mansion covers an extremely wide area, and the whole mansion is extremely luxuriously decorated, showing the prosperity and dignity of the owner.

The gate is made of gilt, and two lions carved in jade stand at the door. If you look closely, even the eyes of the jade lion are embedded with night pearls. At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black gold silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances inscribed with two big characters "Li Mansion".

"That's it, yes. Little Ash, come forward and call the door. Chen Wenqing said.

Little Ash stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After three rings, a stocky man dressed in silk and with a jade belt around his waist poked his head out and looked around before carefully opening the door, looking like a butler.

"Fellow Daoists, where did you come from?" Although the door was opened, it did not immediately lead people in, but stood on the steps and asked.

"Poor Dao Zixia Guan Chunyangzi, and his junior brother Zhengyangzi was invited."

When the housekeeper heard this, he hurriedly walked down the stairs, pulled Chen Wenqing's sleeve, and said, "It turned out to be the high road of Zixia Temple." Slack, slack, the two Taoist masters can be regarded as coming. The housekeeper laughed with him and bowed his hand, "Down there is the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, Li Quan." The two Taoist chiefs, please inside, please, inside. As he spoke, he impatiently pulled Chen Wenqing towards the Li Mansion.

Chen Wenqing followed Li Quan, all the way through the scattered pavilions and pavilions, the pavilions and pavilions are dotted with vibrant green bamboos and strange-shaped stones, those strange stones are stacked together, abrupt and rugged, and the momentum is extraordinary. Then I walked through the lotus pond water pavilion, carved beams and painted buildings, and felt the grass and trees, mountains and stones in the Li Mansion, and the layout was extremely exquisite.

"Sure enough, it's a rich family!" Chen Wenqing sighed in his heart.

When everyone came to the front hall, they saw that there were already many people in the front hall. There are not only heroic warriors who carry swords, but also Confucian scholars who look like scholars, and Taoist friends who dress as Taoist priests like Chen Wenqing.

"These three are Zixia Guan Gaodao, and they came to help as promised." Steward Li introduced to everyone.

"Huh! Zixia looks like it's gone, can she only send such a yellow-mouthed son out of the mission now? Zixiaguan, is there no one? Hahaha......" Without waiting for Chen Wenqing to see the salute, the tall and thin Taoist who was also dressed as a Taoist priest sneered coldly.

"Under Chen Wenqing, the road number is pure Yangzi. This is the first time I went down the mountain to receive the task, and I would like to ask you for more advice. When Chen Wenqing heard this, he didn't pay attention to the other party's ridicule, but bowed to everyone.

Seeing this, the tall and thin Taoist priest sneered and said, "Hmph! Don't dare to give advice, as long as you don't hold us back! ”

"Why do you talk like that, a Taoist priest? Everyone is here for the task, so why bother talking here. Li Youcai couldn't listen to it anymore, and stood up and said loudly.

"Do the task? Just the three of you? One is milky and undried, one is as fat as a pig and a dolphin, and there is another... Hehe, a rat demon who does not become a climate? The tall and thin Taoist priest glanced at him and said coldly.

Li Youcai hated others for saying that he was fat, and when he heard the words, he was immediately angry, and he wanted to step forward to theorize. "How can this be reasonable, how dare you, a Taoist priest...", however, before Li Youcai finished speaking, he was pulled down by Chen Wenqing.

"Forget it, junior brother. There is no need to talk to him, the so-called peers are enemies, and the enemies should be resolved rather than settled. Chen Wenqing's expression was calm, but he was not affected by the tall and thin Taoist priest, and continued: "Since the Li Mansion has invited so many capable people and righteous people to come, I'm afraid this matter is quite tricky, let's wait and see!" ”

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from outside, and several people walked in, followed by three large boxes.

The person at the head is about seventy years old, with gray hair, a rich face, and a brocade dress embroidered with clouds, but it is made of the most precious Shu brocade at the moment. It's just that his complexion is a little gray, his spirit is not good, his eyes are black, and it looks like he hasn't had a good rest for many days.

"Old decay Li Chengde, thank you for coming to help", Li Chengde gestured to everyone and said: "There was a sudden bad accident in my Li Mansion, seven of the twenty-four members of the Li family have died tragically, and the dead are all my dear and beloved, and the old man is heartbroken. I hope that all of you can help my Li family find the murderer, eradicate the evil, and eliminate the harm for the people. My Li family has a generous gift to thank you for your kindness. ”

Li Chengde's eyes were filled with tears, and he waved his hand to let his subordinates open the three boxes one by one. I saw that the three chests were full of white silver, shining with dazzling silver light in the hall.

"A total of three thousand taels of silver! Whoever wants to help my Li family find out the culprit, the three thousand taels of silver will belong to him. ”

"And for my Li family, another reward of five thousand taels!"

"I don't know what you think?"
