Chapter 25 Clues in the Paperwork
Zuo Dao sat at the table and looked at the eighteen sons and mothers in his hands.
The case took place on the border of Youzhou, at the foot of the 100,000 Great Mountain, in a village that traded with the Miao people all year round.
According to the documents, when the first batch of Jinyi guards were stationed in Youzhou, the local yamen reported the case.
A hundred households surnamed Zhang went to investigate the case with his subordinate Jinyi Wei.
But when he came to the village, he found that the village, which was still quite prosperous, was now empty.
The evening when the smoke should have risen, was silent, without the slightest sound.
Zhang Baihu entered the village with his subordinates.
Finally, at the edge of the village, near the foot of the 100,000 Mountain, the villagers were found.
The picture he saw, the document reads: "A hundred corpses have no heads, a hundred corpses have no bones, a mountain of flesh and blood, and eighteen women are holding their children and laughing in the sea of flesh and blood." ”
After seeing this line of words, Zuo Dao's body chilled for no reason.
All the villagers were decapitated, their bones shaved and piled up on top of each other on the edge of the village.
This kind of scene makes people shudder when they think about it.
Even today's Zuo Dao has a chill.
At that time, this case caused a sensation in the entire Youzhou.
In the end, Zhang Baihu used his own blood and qi to deter ghosts.
was forced to escape from the hands of the eighteen sons and mothers with his subordinates.
It's just that after he escaped, he felt someone whispering in his ear every day and night.
From time to time, children were crying loudly.
Just when Zhang Baihu was physically and mentally exhausted and went to perform the task, he met a wandering Taoist.
Taoist said, Zhang Baihu is burdened with ghost grievances, and the grievances of the eighteen sons and mothers are stacked, if they are not dealt with, I am afraid that their lives will not be long.
Zhang Baihu knelt down to pray for the law, and the Taoist used the peach wood villain Li Dai Taozhuang to pray for Zhang Baihu.
On the same day, the peach wood villain was burned by the resentment fire and turned into dust.
There were no more whispers and cries in Zhang Baihu's ears.
It's just that since then, he has not been able to find the wandering Taoist who saved his life in the first place.
Later, he inquired at the border of Youzhou, and finally knew why the resentment of the eighteen sons and mothers was so terrifying.
The reason was that the village elders disliked that they gave birth to baby girls, so they used the lives of their eighteen mothers and daughters to make a deal with a Miao man who knew Gu arts.
The baby girl was dug out alive, and the Miao people wanted to refine the baby girl for Gu.
But he didn't expect that the dead eighteen mothers were so angry that they turned into ghosts and became one with the baby girl, and became a fierce ghost.
As a result, an entire village, including the Miao people, was killed.
Eventually, the entire village was burned with rockets by the county government, and all traces were burned.
Zuo Dao looked at the Chinese book in his hand, and if there was no mistake on it, the eighteen sons and mother ghosts were indeed fierce ghosts.
It's just that in the end, it didn't work, and I thought it was because there was no solution to the eighteen sons and mothers.
Not only did it not then, but it doesn't now.
It was hard for him to imagine how the first two Jinyi Wei Qianhu in Youzhou dealt with it on weekdays.
It can't always be what Du Qianhu said, the paperwork sank into the sea, as if nothing had happened.
He frowned slightly, and continued to look at the next paperwork.
The cases recorded in this document are also located at the junction of the 100,000 Mountains and Youzhou.
It's just that this time it's not a powerful ghost, it's a demon hurting people, or an unheard of blood demon.
According to the documents, this blood demon fed on blood, and it took only seven days from the beginning of the domestic animals to the later attack on the people.
The locals are in danger, and the county government can't do anything.
can only report to the Jinyi Guard Yamen.
The first Qianhu of Youzhou led his subordinates Jinyi Wei to capture the Blood Demon, and used the death row prisoner as bait to lure the Blood Demon out.
Trapped and imprisoned, he was burned to ashes by fire.
This can be regarded as the first demonic case solved by Youzhou Jinyiwei.
Zuo Dao looked at the position on the paperwork, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
In this Youzhou, the first cases that were recorded as evil crimes such as demons and monsters were all at the border between Youzhou and 100,000 Mountains without exception.
Including the other few documents under his command, most of them belong to this position.
It can be seen from this that the source of the demons in Youzhou originates from the border between the 100,000 Mountains and Youzhou.
In other words, it started with 100,000 mountains and continued to spread towards the territory of Great Wei.
What is causing such changes?
Just when Zuo Dao was curious in his heart, thinking that he had found the reason for the evil spirit.
One of the documents in his possession caught his attention.
The date on the document is the record of Fan Quan, the city lord of Linya City, before the previous Jinyi Wei Qianhu moved to the Jinyi Wei Yamen.
It is said that when the city lord Fan went out of the city to observe the people's situation, he encountered the appearance of the big demon in a town near the 100,000 mountains.
The entire town was destroyed, and almost all the people were swallowed up by the demon.
Only the city lord Fan in the town escaped for some reason and returned to the cliff city.
Afterwards, Jinyi Wei Qianhu routinely inquired.
City Lord Fan only said that he jumped into a dry well at that time and escaped the danger of the big demon devouring people.
He hid in a dry well for a whole day and a night.
After noticing that there was no movement outside, he pulled the well rope and climbed out of the dry well.
Although Ren Qianhu was suspicious about this matter, there was no remaining evidence that the city lord Fan was lying.
Even when he led people to explore the town, he did see the dry well in the mouth of the city lord Fan.
There are even traces of people hiding in dry wells.
At that time, the matter was closed.
It's just that it didn't take long for City Lord Fan to propose in the banquet that the Jinyi Guard Yamen was moving in the direction of the 100,000 Great Mountain.
In this way, it may be possible to use the dragon and tiger qi on Jinyiwei's body to suppress the demon.
When Ren Qianhu listened to the reason, he ordered the relocation of the Jinyi Guard Yamen.
But just after the Jinyi Guard's yamen was moved, the beast tide in the 100,000 mountains broke out, and the Jinyi Guard suffered heavy casualties.
In the tide of dead beasts, even the corpses were never found.
Zuo Dao looked at the record on the paperwork, and couldn't help but remember that when Fan Quan came to give gifts, he had told him about the old demon of Montenegro.
The words all hope that he will take people to Montenegro to investigate.
From this point of view, this Fan City Lord is really a little suspicious, and the suspicion is not small.
No wonder Du Wanshan asked him to be careful to guard against the city lord today.
Just as Zuo Dao was thinking in his heart, a noisy sound suddenly sounded outside the door.
There are also words like "walking water".
Zuo Dao's face suddenly changed, and just as he was about to get up, he heard a brocade guard shouting outside the door: "Lord Qianhu, the case library is gone." ”
A fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and sure enough, someone had attacked the Jinyi Wei case.
It seems that there is indeed a secret hidden in the case vault of Jin Yiwei.
Zuo Dao got up, and was just about to leave the room to put out the fire, when he suddenly turned his head and caught a glimpse of several documents on his desktop that he had never looked at.
As soon as his heart moved, he took those few documents, along with the documents that recorded Fan Quan's affairs, into his arms.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a brocade guard waiting with a bow, who seemed to be the person who had just reported.
Zuo Dao looked at the monstrous fire coming from the case vault, frowned, and said, "You are still doing something here, go and put out the fire." ”
The brocade guard's body froze, and then he answered, and was about to turn around and run in the direction of the case library.
Suddenly, Zuo Dao said coldly: "Stop, you turn around." ”
