Chapter 351: Arson

Lu Yan, who realized that the general trend was gone, instantly turned red, and he couldn't help but quietly touch the sniper rifle that was thrown aside. γ€–γ€—

"Stinky boy, you still haven't given up." Master Yinkong opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were full of light. He grabbed Lu Yan's arm and pulled it down, then grabbed his other arm, and made a few sounds, just like that, and heard the sound of "click, click". Lu Yan's two arms were dislocated, and they drooped down so softly.

"Ahh The sudden severe pain made Lu Yan let out a terrible scream like a wolf's howl.

"What's it called, it's not broken, it's just a dislocation." Yinkong glared at him fiercely and scolded angrily.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Lu Yan's forehead, and his face turned red because of the severe pain, and he gasped and roared: "You are still a monk, and you are so ruthless, you have no compassion at all." ”

"Fart, compared to your plan to set fire to the house and burn all four of us to death, this little trick of the old man is nothing more than a drop in the bucket. If you put it in the past, you have to taste the taste of passing through the hall three times a day to know the old man's methods. Master Yinkong still folded his hands, but his eyes were shining fiercely, and his words were even more terrifying.

Li Yuanhao put down the old six flat on his shoulder, and after listening to the words of Master Yinkong, he suddenly remembered the origin of the name Li Xiaozhong, and he remembered that he once read a book called Modern Bandit History and saw such a record:

From 1928 to 1929, the Yu bandit Li Laomo twice went to western Anhui, for the disaster of Jinzhai, Lu'an, Huoshan and other counties. Li Laomo's real name is Li Zhenwei, and he is the youngest of 6 brothers, so he is called Lao Wei.

In his early years, he served as a junior officer in Liu Zhenhua's Zhensong Army, and later led his troops to become bandits, contacting Henan bandits Wei Dabang, Liu Kaiyan, Li Xiaozhong and other hardcore brothers, known as the three regiments.

In the early morning of April 3, 1928, Li Laomo's bandits entered Mabu Town, Jinzhai County, and as soon as the guns rang out, the town's militia collapsed without a fight. The bandits then looted and burned to death, and took away more than 300 people. In Yangdian, Liji and other places, the bandits clashed with the local Dadaohui, killed the head of the congregation and part of the congregation, and occupied Liji.

When the party ** team heard the news, Li Laomo ordered hundreds of meat tickets in Mabu Town to be locked up in three earthen houses, and burned with gan firewood around them. After the fire raged, the bandits left in a hurry. After the joint efforts of the meat ticket knocked down the wall, he was able to escape. But the bandits used the same method to burn more than 100 meat tickets in Tangjiahui and more than 200 in Yinshan. In addition, dozens of people were slashed and killed in a mountain col.

The bandits marched east to Sujiabu, defeated the snipers of the local army, and went straight to Lu'an County. Xing Yuanwei, the county magistrate, and Jiang Pengcheng, the commander of the garrison battalion, fled in a hurry under the protection of the army.

At dawn on April 23, Li Laomo successfully entered the county seat of Lu'an. In the robbery, the bandits picked up gold and silver jewelry, ingots and oceans, and a large number of copper coins were no longer in their eyes. Those caught by them, even the poorest, must pay 10 pieces of ocean, or else they will be beheaded or their hands and feet cut off.

In the pan pond in front of the Confucius Temple in the county seat, the corpses with mutilated limbs are stacked, and the pool water is red. Women could not escape the fate of being defiled, some were killed by **, some were assassinated by Jian Hou, and some resisted the insult and threw themselves into the well. On the streets, by the well, the female corpses are bare-chested and exposed, and the people who cut off their heads are visible and unbearable.

On the 24th, the bandits left the county seat of Lu'an with more than 1,000 meat tickets and set fire to four neighborhoods before leaving. After the incident, only a few streets inside the north gate were saved because the fire did not ignite, and the rest were all rubble.

Li Bandit led the crowd south to Huoshan County, because the residents along the way had already fled and had nothing to gain, so they returned to Lu'an County on the 30th, and carried out another search, but at this time there were still no officials and soldiers to clean up the mess or clear the bandits. In order to prevent being surrounded by the official army in the city, Li Laomo ordered to move to Sujiabu and wait for the bitter lord to come to ransom.

The ransom that Li Laomo set for the meat ticket was 1,000 oceans at the highest, and 400 at the lowest. The meat ticket that no one came to redeem passed the hall three times a day.

When passing through the hall, both men and women are forced to lie on the ground, their hands and feet are pressed with a long and cumbersome bench to prevent them from moving, and then they are stripped off their clothes and beaten on their backs with bundles of iron to 'brush duck feathers'. Some of them were whipped too badly, or died on the spot, or died of their injuries.

For the meat tickets that have not been redeemed for a long time, the bandits use the following extremely cruel criminal laws to tear up the tickets. One is a knife cut, and the other is fire, as mentioned above. The third is to smash the turtle, that is, to smash the skull with a boulder, until the blood bursts out of the brain and dies. The four are torn for the horse, the limbs of the meat ticket are tied to the horse's legs, and then the horse is driven to gallop and tear the person apart. The fifth is the bamboo tearing, which is the most cruel.

The bamboo in the mountainous area is tall and stout, but the tenacity is excellent, and the bamboo several feet high can be bent to make its tip touch the ground, let go of the hand, and immediately rebound straight and recover.

The bandits bent the two opposing bamboos so that the tips were close together, and then tied the legs of the meat tickets to the near tips of the two bamboos. As soon as the hand is released, when the two bamboos bounce in opposite directions, they tear the person in half because of the great force.

There is a half-bloody human body hanging on the tip of each bamboo, which is miserable. Most of the meat tickets that were torn were poor people with poor families and no money to ransom.

Later, the 15th Division of the Ninth Army of the Party State stationed in Bengbu was ordered to go to western Anhui to suppress it. Unexpectedly, in January of the following year, under the blow of the armies of Henan and Hubei provinces, they entered Huoshan County, Xihuo County, Anhui again, and entrenched themselves in the areas of Liubo Tuan, Zhaziling, and Lijiaping.

During the day, the bandits went to Sixiang to loot property and arbitrarily defile women. Within a radius of dozens of miles, the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs of the peasants were all captured and eaten up by the bandits, and the cattle were slaughtered immediately, seriously damaging agricultural production.

In early February, three divisions of the party ** teams of Henan, Hubei and Anhui provinces, including Cheng Xixian, Xia Douyin, and Huang Guoliang, jointly attacked and suppressed. Li Laomo tried to flee to Tengjiabao, Luotian County, Hubei Province, now known as Shengli Town, because the heavy snow closed the mountain, the bandits could not advance, and there was no food, so they had to wander on the border of the three provinces. The officers and men recognized the bandits' tracks on the snow, pursued them closely, and finally shot Li Laomo to death in the mountains of Shangcheng County, Henan, on the border of Henan and Anhui. There were still more than one of the remaining bandits and fled back to Henan.

Could it be that this Li Xiaozhong is Li Xiaozhong, who also has a place in this dark and bloody history?

An Xin was still asking in a daze: "Master, what do you mean by passing the hall three times a day?" ”

Yinkong himself was obviously surprised, and he lowered his head and recited silently a few times after Nam Mu Amitabha. Only then did he restrain the arrogance on his face, and said to An Xin gently: "Sin, sin, it was the old man who lost his words just now." He reached out and grabbed Lu Yan's shoulders and dragged him into the house.

Seeing that Master Yinkong didn't answer her question, An Xin's curiosity swelled more and more, and she went to ask Li Yuanhao again. Li Yuanhao looked at Yinkong's rickety back. He whispered, "Didn't you see that Master Yinkong didn't want to mention this?" Don't ask. An Xin saw that Li Yuanhao refused to say it clearly. I had to put away my strong curiosity.

Li Yuanhao grabbed the belt of the sixth man and got him into the hut, and Master Yinkong also lit a candle in the hall to illuminate it. This faint light made Lu Yan feel terrified. He knew how much gasoline he had poured on the exterior wall of this thatched house, just a little spark. It was enough to reduce the entire room, including the people inside, to ashes.

Li Yuanhao picked up a chair, sat down in front of Lu Yan, and then said, "Say, what is the purpose of your trip?" And how many accomplices? ”

Lu Yan spit out bloody saliva with a "phew". Said viciously: "It's funny, you're not a policeman." Who qualifies me to interrogate me here? ”

"I'm really sorry, I happen to be a police officer, and I am qualified enough to interrogate you." Li Yuanhao took out his work card from his pocket and shook it in front of him.

Lu Yan was stunned at first, he didn't expect to be so unlucky today. It really provoked the police. However, as soon as he rolled his eyes, he immediately quibbled: "What about the police, you can only sue me for illegal possession of firearms." Do you want to sue me for spilling gas? But if you look at a few of us, we've all been bruised by you. Even if you are caught in the bureau. I will also sue you for abuse of power. ”

An Xin was originally leaning against the door to watch Li Yuanhao investigate the case with great interest, but after listening to Lu Yan's words, she couldn't help but move in her heart. The strange disappearance of the fourth child always made her feel very uneasy.

An Xin immediately got up and walked to the east wing, gently pushed open the door, and saw Master Hui Lin sitting with his eyes closed, with sisi white smoke coming out of his head, and he didn't seem to be disturbed by the outside world. She couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and gently closed the door again.

Back in the hall, Li Yuanhao continued to interrogate Lu Yan, who knew that he was like a dead pig who was not afraid of being hot, and he refused to say more.

At this time, the sixth child's eyelids moved, and then slowly opened. Although the blood from the wound on his head had long since stopped, he still felt dizzy and nauseous and wanted to vomit after falling really hard.

But the sixth child's eyes just turned around, and at a glance he found that the one sitting opposite him, in the dim light, was sneering at him, wasn't it the ghost who couldn't be killed! He: "Ah! He screamed, and then shouted, "There are ghosts!" Don't come near me, don't come near me......" He said as he subconsciously hid behind Lu Yan.

Lu Yan originally saw that Li Yuanhao had nothing to do with him, and he was secretly proud in his heart. didn't expect that the sixth child would be so panicked after waking up. He hurriedly opened his mouth to remind the sixth Li Yuanhao's identity, so that he wouldn't show his mouth in a panic.

As soon as he said the word "he", he felt a strong wind blowing in his face, which not only blew out the faint candlelight, but also successfully made him shut his mouth. After this gust of wind blew, Lu Yan wanted to open his mouth again, but he was horrified to find that he couldn't say a word.

An Xin secretly glanced at Li Yuanhao, and Li Yuanhao quietly gave her a thumbs up. At this time, the room was pitch black, only a little light was projected by the bright moon outside, and the room looked very yin.

Li Yuanhao showed a sympathetic sneer in front of him, Lu Yan, who is usually omnipotent, is like a dilapidated doll at the moment, just looking at him opening and closing his big mouth, but he didn't spit out a word.

The sixth child was frightened by this strange scene, and at this time, a thin and scorched old face came to him, showing a mouthful of scorched fangs, and said viciously: "Say it, young man, do you want gan?" If you don't make it clear, you will be left behind and you will always be with us. ”

"I said, I said......" The sixth child was so frightened that he trembled, and a stinking warm current flowed out of his crotch. Lu Yan was powerless to stop it, so he had to close his eyes.

Although the sixth child's account was a little inconsistent, it still let the people present know the purpose of their action. "Buddha relics?" Li Yuanhao couldn't help frowning and said, "Why do you think there will be Buddha relics here?" In the case of qing who doesn't know anything at all, he just wants other people's lives. You guys are a little too vicious. ”

Li Yuanhao no longer pretended to be a ghost, and returned to his usual tone of speech, which suddenly made the sixth child hear the flaw. He struggled to sit up, glared at the person in front of him and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

Li Yuanhao casually knocked on the door of his head, and said angrily: "Even if you become a ghost, your master and I will not become a ghost!" If you are so timid, it's not good to learn from others. Learn to kill and set fires. Now you have to take it. ”

"Don't bluff me. At best, we are an attempted murder, and we will not be sentenced to a few years. When the uncle comes out, you must look good. "The sixth child was a human being before he met, not a ghost. The courage immediately became a lot bigger. He choked up with Li Yuanhao in annoyance.

At this time, An Xin lit the candle on the table, and by the dim light, she saw at a glance that there seemed to be something hidden in the waist of the sixth child, bulging. She stepped forward. Lifted the corner of his coat and found a bronze Luoyang shovel from inside.

An Xin's heart moved. She turned the small Luoyang shovel over, and at a glance she saw a small capital six characters engraved on Xiamian. Li Yuanhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked to Master Lu Yan's side and touched his waist for a while. actually found the same Luoyang shovel, with a word engraved on the bottom.

"Hey, that's my personal belongings. You don't have the right to take it. The sixth shouted in panic.

"It's good that you admit it's your own." Li Yuanhao proudly threw the Luoyang shovel in his hand and looked at him condescendingly. Said contemptuously: "On the train when I came, I arrested two habitual criminals who robbed and stolen, and they also carried such Luoyang shovels on their bodies.

I took a photo of the two Luoyang shovels at that time and posted them on the intranet of the Ministry of Public Security, asking for assistance. Sure enough, someone from a public security department in Shaanxi recognized it.

Five years ago, there was a grave robbery case that shocked the entire public security department. It is said that two groups of tomb robbers must have entered the scene at the same time, and there was a fierce fire on the periphery of the ancient tomb. Six bodies were left at the scene, two of which also had the same Luoyang shovel on their bodies.

After investigation, it was found that the footprints of the suspect were very chaotic at the scene, but it was certain that there were at least 11 people. There were still a large number of fingerprints and jets of blood left at the scene, many of which did not belong to the six people who had died. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuanhao leaned down, looked at Lu Yan, who was silent, and said sarcastically: "I will send your blood samples, fingerprints, and shoe samples over there for comparison one by one." I hope that case has nothing to do with you, otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as an attempted murder. ”

Hearing Li Yuanhao mention the tragedy five years ago, even the sixth child obediently closed his mouth, and his eyes showed a sense of despair.

Seeing that Lu Yan and Lao Liu both hung their heads weakly, Li Yuanhao smiled coldly, and finally stopped holding on to them. He helped Lu Yan connect his arms, and found hemp rope to tie Lu Yan and Lao Liu firmly together, still in the corner, waiting for them to be sent to the police station after dawn.

Destined to be a sleepless night, An Xinsuo Xing made a pot of tea, Yinkong took out a few packets of salt-boiled peanuts, and a plate of boiled tofu gan leftovers, and the three of them chatted around the table of the Eight Immortals.

An Xin remembered the fourth child who disappeared inexplicably, so she asked Master Yinkong out loud if there was a hidden passage such as a tunnel on the mountain bag behind. In her mind, only the fourth child hid in a hidden underground passage that had a chance to evade her own detection.

Who knew that Master Yinkong thought about it for a long time, and still shook his head and said that it was just an ordinary mountain bag, and it was not authentic as she said. Another possibility was ruled out, and An Xin was a little sullen and picked up a peanut kernel that Li Yuanhao had peeled a long time ago and threw it into her mouth.

Seeing that An Xin likes to eat this salt-boiled peanut, Li Yuanhao kept peeling it, and after a while, he peeled out a small pile of peanut kernels, he put these white and fat peanut kernels in an empty porcelain bowl, pushed them in front of An Xin, and then clapped his hands and asked Master Yinkong: "Master, do you know about this Buddha relic?" ”

Master Yinkong unceremoniously grabbed a large handful of peanut kernels from An Xin's face, and threw them into his deflated mouth one by one, and after he pondered carefully for a while, he said out loud: "I know that there are still a few relics left by the monks after the death of the monks in the temple, as the treasure of the temple. But the Buddha's body relics, I really haven't seen them.

It is said that only eminent monks who have attained the immeasurable compassion of the Buddha and have never harmed any sentient beings in the world will have such Buddha body relics after their death. It is simply a kind of Buddhist treasure that exists like a myth. But we only have all kinds of Buddhist scriptures here, as well as the codex left by the former abbot master, but there are no relics, let alone any Buddha relics. ”

"Do you hear that?" Li Yuanhao said to Lu Yan and Lao Liu, who were sitting in the corner: "The two masters are just meditating here, where did they get any Buddha relics?" ”

Lu Yan closed his eyes and was silent, but the eyes of the sixth child revealed infinite remorse.

Just when the three of them were eating and chatting, there was a loud sound of "Peng" outside the house, and the whole house turned into a sea of fire, and a scorching heat wave hit the three of them, and the heat in the house rose instantly, and the whole room was like a huge oven, surrounding the people in the house.

An Xin stood up suddenly, and she said in horror: "How can this be, I have been paying attention, but there is no movement outside!" Before she could finish speaking, a choking smoke came over her. To be continued
