Chapter 65: Death Without Knowing It (Seeking Follow-up)
Hearing Du Wanshan speak, Zuo Dao smiled and said, "Oh? What makes Master Du feel so weird? Even the words of the resurrection of the dead were spoken. ”
Zhao Tong also looked at Du Wanshan with a curious expression.
Du Wanshan said with a strange face: "Do you know that three years ago, a group of prisoners in Linya City were sentenced to be beheaded at noon?" ”
When Zhao Tong heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "I just came to Linya City a few days ago, and I don't know about it. ”
Zuo Dao touched his chin and said: "I've heard that at that time, there were demons and evil spirits in Youzhou, and no one could be found in many cases, so the county government on the outskirts of the city temporarily arrested a group of criminals from the prison to confess the crime. ”
"But afterwards, he was noticed by the Jinyi Wei Qianhu at that time, put him in prison, and committed suicide in fear of crime."
Du Wanshan nodded and said, "That's exactly what happened." ”
Speaking of this, the expression on his face became even more wrong, and then continued: "At that time, it was Du who was in charge of investigating the case, and among those prisoners, many prisoners died unjustly. ”
"When I went to the street today, I happened to meet Jinyi Wei who entered the yamen to report, saying that there was a resurrection of the dead."
Du felt strange in his heart, so he went over with the brocade guard to take a look.
"I didn't think about it, but I really found a person who came back from the dead, and he was one of the dead people at that time."
Hearing Du Wanshan speak, Zuo Dao showed a look of surprise on his face, turned his head to look at Zhao Tong, and said, "Could it be that there is really such a thing as resurrection?" ”
When Zhao Tong heard this, he also frowned, and said, "Zhao has never heard that someone can come back from the dead. ”
Du Wanshan took out a case file with a portrait on it, and unfolded it in front of everyone.
"The one who came back from the dead is this person." ”
Du Wanshan pointed to the case and said: "This person is also unlucky, at that time, this person was imprisoned for unknown charges, and the crime occurred soon after he was imprisoned. ”
"Eighteen prisoners, including him, were sentenced to be executed."
"But whether it was the person who presided over the execution at that time, or the people who were watching, they all saw this person's head fall to the ground."
"But when Jinyiwei went to run errands yesterday, he found traces of this person in the suburbs and recognized him as one of the criminals who were beheaded that year."
"The brocade guard thought it was a demon, so he wanted to come and ask for instructions."
Zuo Dao listened to Du Wanshan's words, and said curiously: "So you confirmed it?" ”
Du Wanshan nodded and said: "Yes, I made a note of the appearance of that person, and after I came back and compared the case file, I confirmed that the person was the person who was beheaded at the beginning." ”
"So I'm going to bring the demon compass to verify it, and I'm here to ask if the Lord Qianhu wants to go together."
Zuo Dao nodded and said: "The matter of resurrection from the dead is indeed a bit weird, Zuo naturally wants to go together." ”
On his side, Zhao Tong, who looked a little inexplicable, also spoke: "Zhao also went along." ”
When Du Wanshan heard this, he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll wait here and set off." ”
Several people answered.
Then he rode directly to the outskirts.
It wasn't until just before noon that I came to the outskirts of the city, and found a small courtyard standing in the wilderness.
A man chops wood in the courtyard.
Zuo Dao and the others stepped forward and came to the outside of the courtyard.
Du Wanshan looked at the demon compass in his hand, looked at the instructions on it, and immediately said excitedly: "It's really a demon, this thing really works." ”
As if he heard Du Wanshan's words, the man who was chopping wood in the courtyard suddenly looked up.
When he saw the flying fish suits on several people, his face suddenly changed, and then he was about to rush towards the back of the yard.
But someone is faster.
Zhang Long jumped off his horse, quickly intercepted the man's way, and stopped him with a long knife.
On top of its long knife, some dense patterns appeared at some point, and a faint burst of red light appeared.
Seeing this, Zuo Dao said, "That knife is also the handiwork of the Hermit's Mansion?" ”
Zhao Tong said with a smile: "It's just a superficial standard formation, and it has a certain restraint on demons." ”
When the man saw Zhang Long blocking in front of him, he immediately knelt on the ground with a "poof".
cried: "The official spares his life, the official spares his life!" ”
The people dismounted and stepped forward.
Du Wanshan stepped forward, took a closer look, and said, "You are Lin Sheng?" ”
Lin Sheng nodded with a sad face and said, "The villain is Lin Sheng, all officials, what is this going to do?" ”
Du Wanshan threw the case file in his hand and said, "This official remembers that you were beheaded, and you were killed on the spot, why did you come back from the dead now?" ”
When Lin Sheng heard this, he hesitated for a moment, after seeing Zhang Long's long knife approaching.
Immediately gritted his teeth and said: "It was the executioner who told me that when the ghost head knife fell, he ran forward desperately, and the little one escaped all the way back." ”
When Du Wanshan heard this, he sneered: "Fart, Lao Tzu watched your head fall to the ground with his own eyes in the crowd, how can you run?" ’
At this moment, a woman with a big belly and a somewhat pale face walked out of the house.
When the woman saw her husband kneeling under the long knife, she was so frightened that she covered her mouth.
Lin Sheng hurriedly spoke: "I really didn't die in Xiaxia, I just listened to the executioner's words and escaped, and there was not a word of lie in my mouth." ”
Du Wanshan was stunned for a moment, looked at the demon compass in his hand, and then turned his head to look at the two people on the left.
Lin Sheng's words made him a little unconfident.
Although the sentence just now was to deceive the other party, he found the original executioner today and confirmed it again and again with the responsible officer, and it was impossible to make a mistake.
I saw Zhao Tong step forward, raise his hand and raise his sword to slash in front of him.
There was a sudden gleam of light in his eyes.
Then he looked at Lin Sheng again, and immediately said: "I see, what a heavy obsession......
Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "What a heavy gloomy atmosphere." ”
Zhao Tong raised his hand, and suddenly there was an extra talisman, and then he drank lightly in his mouth, and the talisman shot away.
Fly straight to the door of Na Lin Sheng's face.
The talisman landed on Lin Sheng's front door, and suddenly made a "zizi" sound, and then puffs of white smoke came out.
Lin Sheng suddenly screamed.
Then he saw Zuo Dao draw his knife and directly slash down, splitting Lin Sheng's body in half in an instant.
Lin Sheng, who was split in half by a long knife, stood up strangely from the ground, and muttered over and over again: "I'm not dead, I'm not dead......"
Zhao Tong's face was ugly, and he said: "Such a heavy obsession, is it really dead and not knowing?" ”
"Wake up!"
The voice fell.
Lin Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at his body that had been split in half from the middle.
Suddenly there was a wail, turning into a puff of white smoke and dissipating into nothingness.
Seeing this, Zhao Tong said with a smile: "This person was too obsessed in his life, so he died without knowing it, and someone needs to wake him up before he can get rid of it." ”
When Zuo Dao heard this, he said with a strange face: "Brother Zhao, if this is the case, can a dead person have a child?" ”
Zhao Tong smiled dumbly and said: "Even if people and ghosts have a moment of happiness, it is impossible to give birth to an heir, this matter is contrary to common sense. ”
Zuo Dao pointed to Lin Sheng's wife, who was not far away with a big belly, a pale face, and became more and more hideous: "If people and ghosts can't give birth to children, then what's in her belly?" ”
