Qi Jingzhi suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbidity, as if there was a block in his heart.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that after coming out of the Shengxian Cave, there was always a group of depression in his heart, and he did not condense the heart of the angry crane with his various moods, thoughts and anger at that time, but like a dark shadow, hidden at the bottom of the crane's shoes and under the wings.

In addition to being surprised, Qi Jingzhi looked at himself and studied the root cause, and then suddenly realized.

Although he agreed to Lao Wei very simply that he would definitely return the Red Gold Knife to the Baiyun Palace in Jiuzhen County, there was always a regret in his heart, and he didn't want the East China Sea Golden Sword Wei to die silently in the mountains and wilderness, and since then he has disappeared into oblivion and ended up with a desolate end of both body and name.

The idea of returning the Red Gold Knife to the Wei family and letting the reputation and achievements of the East China Sea Golden Sword Wei continue to be passed on has flashed in Qi Jingzhi's heart more than once, and has been constantly left behind by him.

After all, in the final analysis, this was just a momentary thought of his Qi Jingzhi, but it was contrary to Lao Wei's last wish. Not to mention that the warlock is a dead end with a broken future, and the red gold knife is a master's thing, and the future is really unpredictable.

However, for practitioners, if they don't forget, there will be repercussions.

This idea that Qi Jingzhi was never willing to think about it not only did not gradually dissipate, but quietly grew stronger, which really couldn't help but make him secretly vigilant.

Although I don't know what the consequences would have been if I hadn't had this experience today, I would have let it hide unconsciously, but as long as I compare it with the sudden and sudden catastrophe of the gods, I know that it is definitely not a good thing.

Just thinking about it, the people of Changle County had already gathered around Wei Bao, and they wanted to congratulate him, but it was inconvenient to speak because of the wrong timing, but the envy in his eyes was not disguised.

Only the young green-robed official arched his hand towards Qi Jingzhi and said, "This official Cui Zitao, I am the commander of Changle County, I don't know what your name is?"

Qi Jingzhi returned the salute and said frankly: "Qi Jingzhi of Linzhou, in the name of the lieutenant of the town demon capital of Huaide County, Benzhou, has been listed as an arrester, and this time he came to Liaozhou because of the last wish of Duke Wei to return the red gold sword."

Hearing this, Cui Zitao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Excellency is not moved in the face of such a strange treasure, just because of a promise, he traveled thousands of miles alone, and finally restored the red gold sword to the master, and even a sincere gentleman, Cui is very impressed!"

Qi Jingzhi shook his head: "Duke Wei has the grace to save my life, and what I have done is really not worth mentioning."

"I see......

Cui Zitao was a little surprised, and after a little silence, he continued: "Duke Wei's chivalrous name is spread in the East China Sea, and I don't want the family to suffer such a strange disaster after his death!"

"Now that Wei Bao has inherited the mantle of Duke Wei, he should take on the responsibility of the head of the family, quickly cooperate with the government to find out the real culprit, and ask Your Excellency to help Cui Mou persuade one or two."

Qi Jingzhi nodded, and immediately looked at Wei Bao, but before he could speak, he heard Wei Bao take the initiative to say: "County Zun, Wei suffered a big change before, and he lost his mind for a while, don't blame him!"

As he spoke, he turned sideways, holding the red gold knife tightly in one hand, and led the door with the other hand: "Please also invite Engong and you to enter, although Wei Bao is the only one left in the Wei family, he will definitely try his best to repay the law, and only seek the true murder and avenge the unjust souls of the family!"

The tall and thin young man's voice was still hoarse and low, but he was already very organized when he spoke, and his choice of words and sentences had obviously been carefully considered, obviously he had regarded himself as the head of the Wei family, and was trying his best to support this family with only one person left.

Seeing this, Cui Zitao did not rush into the door, but looked solemn and said to Wei Bao: "As the head of a county, Cui Mou is the duty to avenge the people's grievances!"

"Last night, the tengu fell into the city, and today there are rumors in the city, but there is such a horrific tragedy in your family, so after this official received the news, he has sent his confidant family to take Cui's name post, and go to the Demon Suppression Captain's Office to ask Ji Duwei to come in person."

"He was born in the Bohai Ji clan, he has far-reaching knowledge and profound cultivation, if there are really demons and evil ghosts, he will definitely not be able to escape his eyes!"

"As for our top priority, before the arrival of the Ji Duwei, we must first clarify the various situations in the palace, such as the geometry of the victims, the cause of death, and whether there are missing persons

, but there is any loss of property, where the murderer broke in, where he escaped, can he leave clues......

"It's just that if you want to find out about this, you will inevitably let the county officials enter the house, and there is a lot of disrespect for the deceased, if it is an ordinary time, it is natural to need the main family to follow the whole process, but for now, it is ......

Hearing this, Wei Bao immediately responded without hesitation: "Hurry up and do the right! Wei has already heard of the county's respected person, not to mention that Wei has already said that he will do his best to repay!"

"In that case, don't blame anyone who disturbs or offends!" Cui Zitao immediately nodded at Wei Bao very simply.

He immediately looked at the rest of the people, and ordered in a rather stern tone: "Now that the Wei family is small, you and others will each select capable henchmen from the fast class, and you must do it yourself, don't fake those white servants with unclean hands and feet, and everyone is not allowed to leave without permission after the investigation, and they will all gather in front of the official to reply!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including the classic history, was awe-inspiring.

"Finally, there is another sentence to remind you, it is easy to take money and spend it, but the favor of Golden Dao Wei is real! Okay, leave one of them to follow, and you can go on your own errands!"

Cui Zitao waved his hand, and then accompanied by Wei Bao, he entered the house with Qi Jingzhi.

In front of him, he is so powerful, and inviting the Demon Suppression Captain to come is also to send his family and use private posts, Qi Jingzhi knows that this Cui County Commander is only afraid that he is from an extraordinary background, and he can be so honest, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Wei Bao and the Wei family, at least the loss of property can be less.

After a short time, the three of them entered the east room of the main hall with a servant who came with them, and saw an old man lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his body tightly covered with a blood-stained brocade quilt, and the mattress under his body had already been soaked with blood, and a lot of blood had flowed under the bed.

Wei Bao's breathing was slightly short, and he said in a deep voice, "This is the family ancestor. When I came home, he had already been killed, and the quilt had fallen to the ground, and I picked it up and covered it."

As he spoke, he walked to the bed, carefully avoiding the blood on the ground, and gently lifted the brocade quilt.

Qi Jingzhi and Cui Zitao took two steps forward, and saw that the old man was only wearing a white bedclothes, and he was already wet with blood, with the collar on his chest open, and there was a terrifying blood hole on his chest. z.br>

The strange thing is that the old man's expression is very peaceful, there is no pain at all, and he should have died in his sleep without realizing it.

After Wei Bao respectfully kowtowed to the old man's body, he followed the instructions of the deceased to strip off the deceased's bedding with his own hands, and showed it to the three of them inside and out.

Then it was to look at the most conspicuous wound on the chest, which seemed to have been broken by the claws of the beast, and the heart inside was gone, and a closer look revealed that the liver was missing.

After that, he lifted his eyelids, opened his mouth, brushed his hair, turned over the corpse, and looked at the back of his head, seven orifices, neck, armpits, fingers, perineum, soles and other subtleties one by one, and then carefully groped the skin and bones of the whole body to make sure that there were no other external injuries.

After the preliminary autopsy without using the knife, Wei Bao, who was sweating profusely, had tears in his eyes, dressed the old man's body in bedclothes, put it back in its original position upright, covered the brocade quilt lightly, and kowtowed respectfully four times in front of the bed.

Qi Jingzhi saw that the deceased's appearance was quite similar to Lao Wei, and he couldn't help but droop his eyes slightly, and turned to look around the room, but saw that except for the bloody mess above and below the bed, everything else was not chaotic at all, and there was no abnormality at all.

The three of them went to the east house one by one, and inspected many places in succession, although it was not as detailed as at the beginning, but it was enough to confirm that the causes of death of Wei Bao's close relatives were the same as those of his grandfather, and there were no signs of fighting and property being turned over in the houses.

The most terrifying thing is that the location and size of the blood holes on the chests of all the deceased are very similar, it seems that there is only one murderer, and this murderer entered the house as if he was in a no-man's land, and easily killed the sleeping Wei clan one by one and took off their hearts and livers, during which no one noticed.

"Although I haven't seen it all, but Wei has only seen it with his own eyes, there are dozens of Wei clansmen who have died like this, and there are still some uncles on their side

There are few servants and servants, and there is no living mouth."

After personally examining the bodies of his loved ones, Wei Bao's barely boosted spirit was almost exhausted, and he stood in the courtyard with a haggard expression at this time, and his tone was extremely gloomy.

Cui Zitao waved his hand to let him retreat, opened his mouth and gently exhaled the turbid qi in his abdomen, and couldn't help frowning: "To be able to silently mutilate so many people, even if it is not a demon, it must have used extraordinary means!" There are rumors circulating in this city that evil spirits are digging people's hearts, and some people do big crimes in the same way, but they are afraid of ......."

Qi Jingzhi on the side nodded, already hearing the unfinished meaning in Cui County's words.

When he just investigated, he used the method of observing the wind and color, except for the golden qi scattered everywhere in this mansion, it was still richer than the outside, if there was anything peculiar, it was that so many people had died and so much blood had been shed, but there was not even the slightest bit of blood.

Qi Jingzhi groaned slightly, suddenly flipped his left hand, and took out the silver candlestick.

The blood flame suddenly lit up, and it seemed to be much brighter than before, covering his eyes with a layer of miserable blood.

The young man raised his eyes and looked around, and what he saw was different, but except for the more dazzling golden qi and the light band formed by the red gold knife echoing each other, there was still no abnormality.

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help frowning, such a bloody case happened here, it must have alarmed the Chenghuang Yin Division, even if those ghosts and gods don't care about the murder in the world, they should send people to keep patrolling, and strictly prevent the dead from wandering and turning into resentful ghosts, but as far as he could see, there was no trace of half of the Yin Si ghosts and gods in the sky.

He shook his head before he was about to extinguish the Silver Blood Flame, when he suddenly saw a strange color in his eyes.

Qi Jingzhi immediately turned his eyes to look, and saw a blurred trace of turquoise on Cui Zitao's sleeve on the side.

He immediately looked closely, and saw that the mark was blue and blue, the size and shape were somewhat like a child's fingerprints, and the edges exuded an ominous blue and black aura.

"It's ......"

Qi Jingzhi stared at this strange trace, and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu in his heart.

He immediately circled around Cui Zitao, and carefully looked at this person for a long time roughly according to the steps of the autopsy, but found no similar traces.

Qi Jingzhi thought about it, and immediately turned around and walked into the house of a deceased person to check again, but whether it was the body or everywhere in the house, there was no similar discovery.

"Extinguish!"

The silver blood flame was extinguished, and the young swordsman who walked back to the courtyard reappeared in front of the other two.

Qi Jingzhi glanced at Cui Zitao's sleeves, there was no blood light penetrating the netherworld at this time, and he couldn't see anything unusual at all.

Cui Zitao saw him suddenly disappear and appear again, looking at him with obvious scrutiny, suspicion and even vigilance, in addition, there seemed to be a little sympathy for some reason, in short, the meaning was extremely complicated.

The young county magistrate couldn't help but be stunned, and when he blinked and looked at Qi Jing again, he only saw a pair of strange eyes glowing with a shimmer of smoke, which were very bright and dazzling, but he could no longer read the slightest thoughts and emotions from them.

At this moment, an old man dressed as a servant walked into the courtyard, bent down slightly towards Cui Zitao, and called softly, "Young Master."

Cui Zitao suddenly came back to his senses, and saw that the master of those strange eyes had turned his head to look at his old servant, so he also turned his head and asked, "Is Captain Ji here?"

The old servant of the Cui clan didn't seem to notice Qi Jingzhi's scrutiny, but just lowered his head slightly and replied: "When the old slave went, there was only one door left in the Demon Suppression Commander's Office, saying that there were suddenly many things in the county in recent days, and last night there was a vision of the Tengu falling into the city.

"What? Don't you even have one who can do things?" Cui Zitao couldn't help but be stunned.

The old servant of the Cui clan did not raise his eyes, his head did not shake, and his body did not shake, and he still replied slowly: "There was originally a Gong Cao in charge, but he was called away by the people of the Anfeng Marquis Mansion early in the morning, and it is said that Ding Hou personally sent a message, saying that there was a bearded slave herding cattle in the mansion that had something wrong and needed to report to the Demon Suppression Captain's Office."

"A hairy slave herding cattle? A subordinate is also worthy of ding

Hou personally asked?"

Cui Zitao was a little puzzled at first when he heard this, and then his face changed: "The one surnamed Ge Shu?"

Listening to his voice, he actually knew Geshu Dashi, at least he knew Geshu's bloodline thaumaturgy.

"The sect of the Demon Suppression Commander's Office doesn't know the details, and the old slave doesn't dare to say anything. The old slave was afraid that he would miss the young master's matter, so he immediately went to wait outside the Marquis Anfeng's mansion, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see that Gongcao coming out, but the county guard and the county army came together, as if they were going to visit Ding Hou."

Even when the Marquis of Ding, the county guard, and the county army were mentioned, the tone of the old servant of the Cui family did not change in the slightest, and he was still in no hurry and spoke carefully.

"Fortunately, the county keeper knew the old slave and led me into the mansion after asking the reason. Ding Hou will discuss with a few adults for a while, and then let the old slave come back first to inform the young master, saying that there seem to be demons in the city who want to do bad things now, and there are many things wrong with so many corpses scattered in various houses in Weijia Lane, and there will inevitably be some chaos again, so you can collect the burial first, stop in the back garden of Baiyun Palace, and dispose of it after Ji Duwei rushes back."

Hearing this, Cui Zitao was about to nod, when he suddenly heard someone next to him cough lightly.

Everyone followed the sound, and saw Qi Jing take a step forward, and asked with a smile at the old servant of the Cui family, "Dare to ask the old man, which adult in your mouth came up with the idea of stopping the Wei family's dead in the Baiyun Palace?"
