Chapter 1: The Plague of Innocence
PS: The old fallen opens a new book, the third of the swordsman trilogy, but it probably has little to do with the swordsman;
Originally, it was named [in the name of the sword], but someone took the lead, so I had to use an alternate name, I'm sorry everyone.
Welcome new and old readers to correct and collect.
………………
Splendid Continent, Anhe Country, Fufeng City.
'The veins are wide and the rivers flow, driving the horses through Changzhou. The magpie flies to the mountain and the moon dawns, and the cicadas make noise in the wild wind and autumn. ’
It is said that Anhe is the first continent in China, Guangchuan Zhou, outstanding people, Zhong Lingyuxiu; Fufeng Castle is a small city under the jurisdiction of Sanjiang Prefecture in Guangchuan Prefecture.
Although Fufeng City is small, there are also a number of towns, including the town of Huangguo, but in recent years, a series of strange cases have occurred; Several children of big families died mysteriously within two years, which made the people of Huangguo Town panic, and even in Fufeng City, rumors were rife, and various speculations and rumors were numerous.
Monsters are haunting, stealing yin and absorbing yang, interest disputes, land disputes, jealousy, etc., and so on.
Among them, a rumor has spread widely, saying that Lao Meng, a medicine farmer in Huangguo Town, secretly drugged and murdered because of the death of his granddaughter; This person is plain and honest, but the dog that bites people doesn't bark, but he really starts to do it with perseverance and cruelty.
This is a rumor, the source is that Lao Meng's granddaughter was raped and killed in the wild during a medicine collection two years ago, and the murderer is unknown; Because it happened that several children of large families happened to come here on an outing to find the scenery, so there was this suspicion.
There is no evidence for everything, it is just a coincidence and brain supplement, so no matter what the rumors have been in the past two years, the government has never been able to come up with a result, so it hangs on like this, waiting for the possible willows and flowers, or never showing snow.
There are countless such backlogs in the people, and most of them will be unknown due to the limited conditions, and they will fade out of people's topics after a long time; It's a dangerous world, threats come from all sides, death can happen at any time for everyone, and people living here are used to it.
However, there are always exceptions, especially in a world where there are extraordinary powers, when the Anhe National Highway Gate Patrol made a once-in-a-few inspection to Fufeng City, one of the victims' families opened the joint and stabbed the grievances to the Daomen Patrol, and the Daomen Patrol Envoy also happened to take advantage of this case to rectify the atmosphere and lead the public opinion, so, under the leadership of the Daomen senior brother, this unsolved case had a result.
Today, in the lobby of the Fufeng City Government, the words 'Mirror Hanging' are particularly eye-catching, and a group of Fufeng officials, errand officers, victims' families, suspects, and onlookers are crowded...... There are also three decayed coffins, the water system of Sanjiang Mansion is developed, the groundwater is abundant, although the coffin is only buried for one or two years, the decay is also very serious.
These people surrounded the government and the government to the point where they couldn't get through, and everyone wanted to know the truth of this unsolved case for the first time, and by the way, they could observe the demeanor of the disciples of the Taoist sect.
"Mo Dao pear flower is thin, and Yang Hua is even more pitiful. With the wind and rain, always in front of the guest window. ”
A middle-aged Taoist with bundled hair groaned softly, shook his head and sighed; As the patrol envoy of An Heguo, he has seen too much of the evils in the world, and many of them have become strange, and he has long been numb.
Restraining his mood, he snorted coldly, and the voice penetrated the minds of everyone present, and everyone was alert to this, knowing that the Taoist was about to start judging the case, so they all shut up and didn't dare to speak out.
"The criminal with the old Meng ......"
What is the name of Lao Meng has long been unknown; People in the mountains and wilderness collect medicine all day long for a living, and there is little contact with people, the real name is unknown, everyone calls Lao Meng, and it is also the norm for people in the countryside.
Several servants carried him to court, and because he had not yet been convicted, he had no shackles, but only ropes; But above the lobby here, there are countless public officials, and there is a high road, and no one can turn up the wind and waves.
The middle-aged Taoist arched his hand at the Zhengzao Mansion, "Lord Sun, if there is no other reason, the poor road will begin?" ”
The Taoist gave up his hands at will, but the Fuzun never dared to underestimate it; In Anhe, the Daomen is the sky, although he is rarely involved in the rights and wrongs of officialdom, but the potential behind it is profound, and it is not something that he can offend as an ordinary mortal official.
Hurriedly got up and saluted back, "Chong Lingdao is the chief himself, I'll listen to you!" ”
Chong Lingdao nodded his forehead, his face was pale, his eyes were majestic, and if the pressure was substantial, he threw himself directly into the heart of the suspect in front of him.
"Medicine man Lao Meng, are you guilty?"
This is the scene that everyone present is looking forward to, the suspect denies, and Daomen shows his magic to solve the unsolved case, peel off the cocoon, and trace the source; I can't say it, it's a good story that has been circulated in the book.
Although Lao Meng is old, he walks in the wild all the year round, his back is not hunched or bent, and only one face is like an air-dried orange peel, with ravines and ravines, so that people can not see his inner movements from his complexion, just like an old vine, after ups and downs, there are no waves.
Raising his head, his cloudy gaze was like a dead pool in an ancient well, and he straightened his already straight waist again, and his voice was unusually calm.
"Little Lao'er is guilty, I hurt those three people!"
There was an uproar in the crowd of onlookers, and in the past two years, there have been various means to force each other, but this old Meng is tight-lipped and does not reveal anything, so that people have nowhere to start, and now this is knowing that Taoists have extraordinary skills, and they spit in order to suffer less?
It really looks honest, but is actually cunning, and refuses to eat any immediate losses.
Chong Lingdao people are not disappointed at all, showing magic in front of mortals? He had no interest in it at all. It's good to know and know, so it saves him from wasting mana and wasting time.
"How? You can come one by one! Daomen will never wronged a good person, nor will it let go of a bad person! ”
Lao Meng grinned, he might be laughing, but under the ravine of his face, people seemed to see a weathered stone collapsing.
"In the 13th year of Anhe Yuanhao, in May 1453 of the splendid calendar, I poisoned the breakfast box of Wujiazi, the main medicine Mukuzi, Ding Tomato, and Octagon maple......
In November of the following year, burning incense and incense herbs, suffocating Li Jiazi in the study, is a mixture of scopole, strychnine, nepeta......
At the beginning of Anhe's 15th year, when Duan Jiazi was practicing martial arts, he released 100 army bees, which I came across by chance when I was collecting medicine!
All three of them were killed by Xiao Lao'er, the facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, I didn't say it before, it was because there was still one person whose wish was unfulfilled......"
Brother Gongzi, who traveled together two years ago, actually has a total of four people, and there is still the highest-status master Wang Gongzi, this is the so-called unfulfilled wish in Lao Meng's mouth!
The three people who were killed all lived in Huangguo Town, which was easier for Lao Meng to start with, and he was familiar with all aspects; Only Wang Gongzi is a native of Fufeng City, and it is very reluctant for this old medicine farmer who has picked herbs all his life and has never even entered the city a few times.
Listening to this old man who seemed to be an honest medicine farmer, saying what he had done so plainly, the observers all felt a cool breath rising in their hearts, there are too many such people in Anheguo!
What made Lao Meng change from an honest medicine farmer to a murderer without blinking, everyone has their own scale in their hearts.
Chong Lingdao was unmoved, "Can there be an accomplice?" ”
Lao Meng stood on his feet, a short and thin old man, but now many people feel that the mountains are standing up,
"There is no accomplice, it is all what Xiao Lao'er has learned all his life, and he doesn't dare to fake others!"
Chong Lingdao's expression was cold, he felt that he was a dignified person, and now his momentum was faintly suppressed by a mortal, which made him very unhappy.
"Why are you so mad?"
Lao Meng had blood and tears in his eyes, "For the murder of my Sun Qiaolian in Hebi Mountain......"
Chong Lingdao shouted loudly: "Without evidence, how can you indiscriminately climb and bite others? If you sue the government, maybe there will be a day when you will be wronged? How can you just tell yourself what the law is? ”
Lao Meng resisted, "There is no evidence!" But I know it's them! ”
Close your eyes and say more!
Chong Lingdao was a little depressed, for such an old guy who was stinking and hard, and knew that his future was numbered, he knew very well that if he refused to speak, he would never be able to ask anything unless he used means.
The Fuzun next to him coughed lightly, "Dao Chief......"
Chong Ling was upset in his heart, knowing the meaning of this mansion, the real murderer was obvious, and it was really not appropriate to make extraneous branches, and then pull out some irrelevant things to make everyone lose their face.
"In this way, the facts are clear, the context is clear, and since it is a mortal, please ask the adults to draw a judgment."
In Anheguo, all personnel are handled by the government, and cultivators generally don't meddle in things, and they are plain about cause and effect, so why do they come?
Now that the confession has been made, the rest of the matter is familiar to these old officials, everyone operated, signed and detained, and was put in prison, just waiting to report to the Zhou Mansion and be executed after the autumn.
There are also knife and pen officials to polish, the case from beginning to end to explain clearly, showing the people to reassure the people, driven by a group of messengers, the onlookers and others slowly dispersed, leaving only a group of errand officials, and a number of bitter masters, but there is no intention of leaving at all.
This is a tacit understanding of the official gentry class, they need this opportunity to solve a certain trouble, and the arrival of the patrol envoy is an opportunity, otherwise there will be no store in this village.
Chong Lingdao sighed, his eyes swept under the hall, "Who is Hou Yu?" Stand out! ”
A young man took a step, standing like a javelin, neither humble nor arrogant, "Hou Yu is here, please show me." ”
Chong Lingdao's eyes narrowed, "As one of the Fufeng Criminals, it is not difficult to solve an unsolved case like the serial murder in Huangguo Town, why is it repeatedly delayed for two years?" Causing more human tragedy?
Is there a bitter lord who complains that you bend the law for personal gain, disregard people's lives, and even bite back, wanting to trap the innocent?
If you have any words, tell them in public! ”
Hou Yu's eyes were cold, and he swept over the faces of the people present one by one, knowing that it was useless for him to say anything, he had offended too many people in Fufeng and strict law enforcement over the years, and it was the entire class, not just a few.
This is blatant retaliation, of course, this is also indispensable for his knowledge of the law and breaking the law, and he has nothing to say when he is caught in his shortcomings.
"If you don't solve it effectively, you are willing to be punished!"
A young man jumped out, it was Wang Gongzi, the companion of the three victims, who got this opportunity, how could he be willing to give up?
"Hou Yu, you don't have a problem at all! Instead, he conspired with Lao Meng and killed innocents indiscriminately! ”
Hou Yu didn't even look at him, only focused on Chong Ling Daoist, also as a cultivator, even if it was only the lowest level, just at the entry level, mortals were not qualified to judge him, and only Daomen could convict him.
Chong Lingdao frowned slightly, "Based on the Dao, have you ever colluded with Lao Meng?" ”
Hou Yu didn't hesitate, "I don't know!" ”
Chong Ling Daoist understands that he is telling the truth, but this does not hide his responsibility as a criminal arrester, as one of the six criminal arresters in Fufeng City, the manager of the serial murder case in Huangguo Town, Wu Jiazi's death is not to blame him, but the death of Li Jiazi Duan Jiazi has a lot to do with him, not to mention an accomplice, but an aider can't run away, which is also a crime in the Daomen.
He was very hesitant, he didn't want to deal with a Daoist as a mortal would, but he didn't want to disappoint the entire Fufeng City, he still needed local support for this inspection.
He was still hesitating here, but Hou Yu smiled slightly and smiled at the young man:
"Wang Gongzi, I'm sorry, I've found you too much trouble over the years, it's all a misunderstanding, please allow me to apologize for a while!"
As he spoke, he walked forward slowly, still touching his arms in his hand, it seemed that he wanted to take something out to calm the anger of the Wang family?
The Wang family is a real big family in Fufeng City, and the children are all over the official and business worlds, and there are people who are officials outside, even the mansion does not dare to offend the Wang family easily, so it is normal for this Hou Yu to make such an attitude now, people, there is always a time to bow your head and submit to softness, the key depends on who is standing in front of you!
The prince of the Wang family was triumphant and enjoyed the scenery of this moment, but he knew in his heart that he must not let this person go, otherwise the powerful people in the city would not have a good life!
"Hou Yu, don't bribe in public, my Fufeng Wang family is not a shallow-eyed family!"
Hou Yuxiao's sincerity gradually approached, and the things in his arms also revealed clues, but it was not a yellow and white treasure, but a short blade!
Under the lobby, the mirror hangs high, who would have thought that a criminal executive would do such a bold deed in public?
The prince of the Wang family knew that it was not good, and if he wanted to dodge again, he was dragged by the collar by Hou Yu, and the short blade was handed out, which was pierced in the heart, and then twisted ......
Turning around, he said to Chong Ling, "Now, I am complicit with Lao Meng!" ”
