Hearing the village elder speak, Zuo Dao walked through the crowd and lifted the white cloth from the corpse.

I saw that the corpses of a few foot merchants had pale faces, and there was not a single wound on their bodies, and it looked like the yang energy had been swallowed up by something.

saw Zuo Dao suddenly walk out of the crowd and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.

The village elder immediately stepped forward to pull the left road away, and said as he pulled it back: "Which kid are you, why do you even dare to move dead people's things." ”

Zuo Dao stood up, dodged the village elder's hand, took out the waist card on his waist, and held it in front of the village elder.

opened his mouth and said: "This official Youzhou Town Demon Division, the suppression envoy left the way." ”

He glanced at the frightened village elder, and continued: "These people were not killed by gangsters, they should be done by monsters, even if you report to the official, those yamen will report this matter to the Town Demon Division." ”

When the village elder heard this, he looked at the waist card in Zuo Dao's hand and said, "I don't know how to read, I only know people, you have to wait for someone from the government." ”

As he spoke, he directly summoned other villagers to surround him.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao showed a look of helplessness on his face.

Then he looked at the peasant woman who was hiding on the side and weeping, and said, "This happened at your house, and you will tell me the ins and outs." ”

When the peasant woman heard this, she looked up at the village elder.

The village elder nodded and said, "As long as he doesn't run, you just tell him." ”

When the peasant woman heard this, she was about to speak, when she heard the honest man say, "Let me tell you!" ”

He looked at the corpse on the ground and sighed heavily.

Then he said, "I have a small shop in my house, which provides accommodation for the pedestrians and coachmen who pass through this place. ”

"Business in my house was very good yesterday, but in half a day, all the rooms had guests."

"But in the evening, a few of them came, and I told them that there was no room, but they were going to move in."

"So I told them that there was really no room left in my little shop, only the one where my daughter-in-law's body was stored."

"If they are bold, they will live there, and each of them will have only one copper plate."

"But I didn't expect that these people were stupid and bold, and they really lived in it, and now they are all dead, and my daughter-in-law's body is gone."

"What a sin!"

Hearing this man speak, there was a look of contemplation on his left face.

Could it be that the corpse has changed?

If this is the case, then there is some explanation for the death of these people.

After all, after the corpse is transformed, it will swallow people's yang qi and rely on these yang qi to move, so it is reasonable for these people to be swallowed yang qi and die.

At this moment, several people wearing fast suits walked into the crowd and said, "Who reported the case?" ”

The man hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, it's a small report. ’

The village elder also stepped forward and whispered to one of them: "Little third son, some people here say that they are some kind of pacification envoys, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"Pacifier?"

When the catcher who was called Xiao Sanzi heard this, he sneered: "In this ghost place, there is not even a hundred households of Jinyi Guard, where did the pacification envoy come from, I want to see who is pretending to be an official." ”

After finishing speaking, he walked forward directly, and just as he was about to speak to Zuo Dao, he saw the waist card in the latter's hand.

This little third son is obviously literate, and he looked at the waist card in disbelief.

After determining the authenticity of this waist card.

Immediately, his body bent a little, and then he said with a flattering face: "I have seen Lord Pacification." ”

Zuo Dao glanced at him and said, "You just said that this place doesn't even have a hundred households in Jinyiwei?" ”

Xiao Sanzi hurriedly spoke: "Yes! Our place is considered to be the edge of Youzhou, and it is close to the 100,000 mountains, and there were hundreds of households in the early years. ”

"But a few years ago, it seemed that all the Jinyi guards in Youzhou had suffered a disaster, and there were heavy casualties."

"Our 100 households, together with the brocade guards under him, have all died miserably, so much so that we don't have a 100 households until now."

"The nearest hundred households from here are hundreds of miles."

"I don't know why the adults are here, could it be that they are performing some official duties, but there is a place where we need to do it for me?"

Zuo Dao waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you and others." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the corpses on the ground and said, "These corpses are not man-made, they cannot be dealt with with by your ability, and I will do this myself." ”

Hearing Zuo Dao's opening, Xiao Sanzi nodded again and again, and then asked in a low voice, "My lord, what to do with these corpses?" ”

Zuo Dao said: "Find out the identity and let the family take it back for burial." ”

The little third son nodded again and again.

Zuo Dao turned to look at the honest man and said, "Who else is in your family?" ”

The man hurriedly said: "My son went to the city to buy a coffin, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

Zuo Dao looked at him and said, "How did your daughter-in-law die?" ”

When the man heard this, he showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and then glanced at the village elder beside him.

The village elder frowned, and said, "Look at what I'm doing, if the adults ask you, you can say it!" ”

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Little Lao'er doesn't know either. ”

Looking at the expression on the man's face, Zuo Dao's brows furrowed slightly, and then he spoke: "Do you really not know, or do you not know?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "Little Lao'er really doesn't know. ”

Zuo Dao looked at the woman again and said, "He doesn't know, what about you?" ”

The woman looked at the man, and after seeing the man shaking his head, she also hurriedly said, "I don't know either." ”

Zuo Dao looked at the expressions on the faces of the two of them, and directly took out the snake bone long knife and put it on the man's shoulder.

The blade was just an inch away from cutting through the latter's skin.

The man only felt a sharp breath cut across his neck, making him feel a little tingling.

The woman hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Excellency spares your life, your adult spares your life!" ”

The man took a deep breath and said, "My lord, even if you cut the small one, the little one really doesn't know how my daughter-in-law died." ”

At this moment, the man's son rushed back from the county seat, with a donkey cart behind him.

The donkey cart was pulling the coffin he had ordered from the county seat.

When he saw so many people around his door, he couldn't help but change his face, said to the driver who was driving the car, and hurriedly ran over.

When he saw his father with a knife around his neck, he rushed over with a shout.

But before he could rush in front of Zuo Dao, he was stopped by a group of catchers.

The third son opened his mouth and said: "Bastard thing, this is the soothing envoy of the Jinyi Guard, you have a few heads that are enough to cut off." ”

Liu Fusheng shouted loudly: "What's wrong with the pacification envoy? Can the pacification envoy kill people at will? ”

The village elder hurriedly stepped forward and told him what was going on in his family.

Liu Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and then he saw several corpses lying in front of his house, and the white cloth on them had been lifted.

Lying down were several people he had never seen before.

But this is not unusual, after all, the small shop in his house is for passers-by to rest.

So there are often strangers coming and going.

Liu Fusheng sat on the ground and said to Liu Ergou in the distance: "Dad, what's going on?" ”

The third son also approached cautiously and said, "My lord, didn't you say before that this is not man-made?" How did it get involved with their family? ”

Zuo Dao ignored this person.

On the contrary, after seeing Liu Fusheng, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because he could see that Liu Fusheng had a strong dead qi wrapped around his body, but there was a touch of vitality mixed in this dead air.

Compared with others, Liu Fusheng's vitality is acquired.

That is, the person has risen from the dead.

Seeing this, a curious look flashed on Zuo Dao's face, and he withdrew the snake bone long knife and glanced at Liu Ergou.

Then he turned around and came to Liu Fusheng's side.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou hurriedly wanted to step forward to stop him, but he was directly stopped by the village elder.

Zuo Dao looked at Liu Fusheng in front of him and said, "Have you ever encountered a disaster before?" ”

When Liu Fusheng heard this, he just wanted to speak.

I heard Liu Ergou shouting suddenly not far away: "Fusheng, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zuo Dao's brows furrowed slightly, his feet moved slightly, and he directly kicked out a stone, which hit Liu Ergou's façade.

Suddenly he fainted with grinning teeth.

Seeing this, the woman hurriedly pounced, shaking Liu Ergou desperately, trying to wake him up.

Liu Fusheng just wanted to speak.

heard Zuo Dao speak: "If you don't tell the truth, then don't blame the official for sending you two to prison." ”

When Liu Fusheng heard this, he was taken aback.

Then he hurriedly spoke: "Returning to my lord, the villain did encounter a disaster before, and he almost lost his life. ”

Zuo Dao's eyes lit up and said, "When, where, what?" ”

Liu Fusheng thought carefully for a moment, and then said: "Just by the river outside the town, the villain accidentally fell into the water some time ago and passed out by drowning. ”

"When the villain wakes up again, he will already be at home."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao showed a look of understanding on his face, and then spoke: "Then when did your wife die?" ”

Liu Fusheng showed a sad look on his face and said, "My wife died at home three days ago. ”

Zuo Dao asked, "What's the disease?" ”

Liu Fusheng was stunned for a moment and said, "The doctor said that it was the wind chill of infection." ”

Zuo Dao shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't think it's that I'm infected with the wind cold, but someone is exchanging his life for his life." ”

As soon as the words fell, he appeared in front of Liu Fusheng, raised his hand and picked him up.

Then he said: "Exchange your wife's life for your life." ”

Liu Fusheng kicked his legs in mid-air, and said with a panicked expression: "How is it possible?" I love my wife so much that I can't do such a thing. ”

At this moment, Liu Ergou woke up in a daze and watched his son being picked up by Zuo Dao.

Immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zuo Dao and said, "My lord, please let my son go, my son has nothing to do with this matter!" ”

"All the blame is borne by the villain."

Zuo Dao casually threw Liu Fusheng on the ground, and then said: "Which demon did you invite to do this life-changing act?" ”

Liu Ergou said in a sad voice: "It's the water ghost in the river." ”

"On that day, my son fell into the water, and I wasted a lot of effort to catch it."

"But I didn't expect that he was entangled by the water ghost in the river after all."

"The water ghost said that as long as I give my daughter-in-law to him to die, he will return my son's soul."

"I, I was confused for a moment, so I agreed to him."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao said coldly: "Then have you ever thought that this is the water ghost's move to borrow the corpse to return the soul." ”

Liu Ergou shook his head and said, "I never thought about it, I just wanted my son to come back to life." ”

Zuo Dao glanced at Xiao Sanzi and the others, and said, "You have taken a good look at them here." ”

When the third son heard this, he immediately responded.

Then I saw Zuo Dao walking towards the river under the leadership of a local catcher.

In a few moments, the crowd came to the river.

The village elder pointed to a section of the river and said, "My lord, the dog baby fell there that day. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao looked in the direction of the village elder's finger.

I saw that under the surface of the river, at some point, a woman's face had already appeared.

When someone familiar saw it, he immediately exclaimed: "Isn't this the daughter-in-law of a dog baby?" ”

Seeing this, Zuo Dao's information about this water ghost had already appeared in front of his eyes.

He immediately drew out the snake bone long knife and rushed directly towards the water ghost.

Seeing this, the water ghost opened his mouth wide under the surface of the river, roared silently to the left, and then jumped directly out of the water.

Sticking out his long, narrow nails will be stabbed towards the chest of the left road.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Zuo Dao's eyes.

He could see that in this woman's body, only the soul of the water ghost remained.

Seeing the water ghost rushing towards him, he directly raised his knife and slashed it.

I saw that the water ghost was separated in mid-air.

The water ghost inside was a spirit, and directly before the snake bone long knife slashed, it rushed towards the surface of the river, trying to avoid this catastrophe.

But before he could reach the surface of the water, he was hit directly in the back by a fireball.

The water ghost screamed and was about to fall into the water, but found that a layer of frost had formed on the surface of the river at some point, and stopped him.

When he turned around, he saw that Zuo Dao had already raised his knife and slashed at him.

In an instant, the water ghost was directly smashed.

Zuo Dao stepped on the river and said to the village elder on the side: "You send a few people to fish up the woman's body." ”

When the village elder heard this, he quickly nodded in response, and arranged for the young people in the village to go down to retrieve the corpse.

Zuo Dao was just about to explain a few words to the catcher who came with him, when he saw a person wearing a county magistrate's uniform hurriedly walking not far away.

When he came closer, he saluted Zuo Dao and said, "Qingya County Linglin Road, I have seen Lord Zhenfu. ”

Seeing this, Zuo Dao couldn't help but look at the little third son who was following Lin Dao's side.

Obviously, the arrival of this county order is a letter sent by this little third son.

Zuo Dao opened his mouth and said: "This case is a demon and evil victim, this official has solved it for you, and the rest of you should do a good job of dealing with the aftermath." ”

When Lin Dao heard this, he immediately spoke: "The lower officials know, and this time I thank you for killing the demons in Qingya County for me." ”

"Now that my lord has come to my Qingya County, then Lin should also do some landlord friendship, it just so happens that a strange person has come to my county recently, claiming to be able to steal peaches for nine days."

"If the adults don't dislike it, why don't you come to our county to rest for the time being, and take a look at this strange person by the way?"
