Chapter 23: The Case of the Night Breaker
To tell the truth, this kind of thing like the county government interrogating ghosts at night can really arouse people's curiosity, even the martial artists who protect the businessman Jia Yuntong are also the same.
Listening to the head catcher talk about the ghosts going to beat the drum at night to sound grievances, and the county order of Yuanjiang County actually tried the ghosts at night, everyone present couldn't help but be surprised, and even the other guests who were worried and uneasy stopped shouting, but the people in the rivers and lakes listened to it, and their eyes kept looking around and confirming the location of every official.
The head catcher understood that the other party was not easy to deal with, and deliberately paralyzed the vigilance of the master of the rivers and lakes, so he said to the man of the rivers and lakes.
"I don't know what kind of master Your Excellency is, our Yuanjiang County Yamen is a small local yamen, and no one can restrain you, but as a person in the rivers and lakes, you protect such evil businessmen as Jia Yuntong, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by fellow people in the rivers and lakes?"
The man shook his head slightly.
"The story is good, but you still can't take the people away, and you can't stop me if I want to go!"
"Hey, if Your Excellency wants to leave, we naturally don't have the ability to stop it, but you have to take such a bloated person with you, I'm afraid it's not so easy, this ship is now ours!"
Although the previous few catchers were in pain, most of them stood up at this moment, plus some strong class officials, and surrounded the inner hall of the building boat together.
The martial artist frowned slightly, if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to show his martial arts characteristics, so he turned his face to Jia Yundao.
"I'll escort you out in a while, remember to follow me."
"I still have a lot of valuable calligraphy and paintings on my ship......
The martial artist looked at Jia Yuntong with cold eyes, and the latter immediately stopped talking.
"Don't worry, as long as you escort me away, there will be a good reward!"
"Hmmm......"
The martial artist was still whispering to Jia Yuntong one moment ago, but the next moment he directly flashed to the side like a ghost, and hit the two catchers in the chest with both palms.
"Bang~" "Bang~"
Before the two catchers could react, they flew upside down and smashed one side of the cabin, falling into the river along with sawdust and other objects.
"Let's go!"
At this moment, the warrior grabbed Jia Yuntong's belt, lifted a breath of internal qi and rushed towards the breach with him.
The pupils of the head catcher and the group of catchers contracted quickly, and they went out to block it together.
"Where to go!"
But where the sword light converged, there was no slashing of the martial artist and Jia Yuntong, and the man actually jumped out with a person who was almost two hundred pounds, and he was angry when he saw the head.
At this moment, the warrior who had already led people to jump towards the broken wood on the surface of the river suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air, and his heart was alarmed, and he almost reacted instinctively with a soft palm on Jia Yuntong's body.
At this moment, the two separated left and right, and at the same moment, a sharp arrow broke through the air, passed between the two, and shot at the corner of the building boat with a "bang".
"The county lieutenant is here!"
"The thief is gone—"
There was another sound from far and near, and a figure jumped towards the warrior who had just landed on the dock.
"It's the head of the sect!" "The head of the sect and the county lieutenant are here!"
The person who came was the county lieutenant of Yuanjiang County and the head of the martial arts training who also came with him for insurance after the departure of the group of fast arresters, and happened to collide with the fast catcher who went back to call for help at the gate of the city.
The hearts of the officials were excited, and someone immediately shouted.
"Get off the boat and arrest the criminals together!"
The catcher and the official disembarked one after another, brandished their swords and danced sticks to attack the warrior, an older warrior in strong suit also attacked the master, and the county lieutenant holding a bow in the distance also bent his bow and shot.
For a while, everyone fought in a mess, fighting from one side of the dock to the other, because it was necessary to protect Jia Yuntong, and it also involved a lot of energy from the warriors.
"When" "When" "When"
The warrior's feet were on top of several steel knives, and he felt the strong wind behind him, and he wouldn't have cared about it normally, but now that he has a strong bow in front of him and a club, he can only show his true skills.
The warrior's figure turned in the air, and a pair of big arms shook like whips, and they came out one after another, smashing the stele's palm.
"Bang ......"
The old sect leader fought and was directly knocked out, but at this time, the martial artist himself had nowhere to borrow his strength in the air, and he was faced with the whistle of breaking the air.
The warrior calmly dodged one or two arrows with all his might, but the speed of the third arrow was too fast, and the internal qi lifted in one bite had also been exhausted, and he lost the strength to move, so he could only use his left arm to try to catch the arrow.
"Zila~"
The arrow rubbed the flesh and blood in the palm of the warrior's hand, and the momentum was not only shallow but also shallow into the warrior's shoulder, and the person snorted and fell backwards, but he even used the power of the body rotation brought by the arrow to throw his right hand forward, and the cold light in his sleeve flashed.
It's just that in this way, the warrior's body is no longer stable and falls directly.
Almost at the same time, several sticks immediately slammed into the warrior's heart.
"Hmph~"
The warrior snorted and finally fell, and several steel knives were also placed on his body, and the big hole on his body was immediately pointed.
Everyone was out of breath at this moment, and the old sect leader of Yuanjiang County struggled to get up with the support of the two officials.
The county lieutenant a little farther away also had sweat oozing sweat on his forehead and panting slightly, the bow had fallen to the ground, his left hand covered the right collarbone, a steel dart had been deeply pierced into it, and blood was constantly gushing out, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid in his heart, just now he didn't hide his head and blossomed, this person is so powerful martial arts!
"My lord, Jia Yuntong also caught it!"
"Drive all the people on the boat down and escort them to the county government together!"
The county lieutenant gave the order, and also looked at the injured catchers and officials, some of them are now unconscious, and they don't know how serious their injuries are, this damn Jianghu people!
-----------------
Time has passed for a long time, and the people waiting at the county government are becoming more and more anxious.
Fortunately, the good news finally came, and almost all the forces of the Yuanjiang County Gongmen were gathered, and the warrior was finally subdued and Jia Yuntong and his party were arrested.
"My lord, Jia Yuntong has been captured!"
With the report of the officials, the Lin County Commander also shouted angrily and gave the order.
"Bring it to the court!"
The woman in white at the door watched Jia Yuntong and his party gradually approach, her face gradually became hideous, and a yin wind surrounded the gate of the county government, and the people who passed by only felt cold and numb.
Especially when the pale-faced Jia Yuntong was driven by two arresters, the woman in white stared at him and let out a sharp laugh.
"Heheheheheha......"
This laughter was extremely terrifying, and it was heard by everyone in the court.
"There really are ghosts!" "Oh mom!"
"There's a ghost—"
"Smack~"
"Silence—"
Under the shock, Lin Xian Ling shouted angrily, and the audience fell silent all of a sudden.
Jia Yuntong's legs were completely weak, and he was almost dragged to the court by the two catchers, and as soon as he let go, he collapsed on the ground, and looked left and right in a panic.
Yi Shuyuan sat next to his master, looked at He Xin outside the door, and then squinted at this evil businessman, and snorted coldly.
Lin Xian Ling looked condescendingly at the puddle of mud in the public court.
"You are Jia Yuntong, a businessman from Jiangzhou?"
"Small, the villain is ......"
"That Wuzhou woman He Xin was killed by you?"
"Small, the villain doesn't know!"
As soon as he heard this, Lin Xian Ling couldn't bear his anger and smashed down in shock.
"Smack~"
This smash made Lin County's hands numb, and he stood up and shouted angrily.
"Bold and evil businessman, then He Xin's unjust soul is outside the hall, and he still dares to brazenly quibble here, come to someone, and serve on a large scale!"
Directly on the large, Lord Lin is really temperamental, Yi Shuyuan secretly admired on the side.
But Na Jia Yuntong immediately screamed, and this moment actually made him forget his fear.
"My lord, even if there are really ghosts, you don't believe in people but in ghosts? As the saying goes, there are many nonsense, where can the words of ghosts be believed? ”
Yi Shuyuan frowned, looked at the public hall worriedly, and said with a sneer.
"Then ignore the case of the people's daughter He Xin, you refused to come, and seriously injured many of my officials, you really despise the court, despise the court, come here, give me a stick-"
"My lord, my lord wronged, it's not the one I hurt—"
No one cared about Jia Yuntong's screams, as soon as the ten-finger stick was on, the four officials pulled the ropes on both sides to tighten, and Jia Yuntong's shouting of grievances immediately turned into a scream like killing pigs.
"Ahh
"Afterburner!"
The four officials gritted their teeth and exerted their strength together, and Jia Yuntong's miserable howl changed from a cry to an inhale, leaving only a "uh-uh" sound, and he couldn't scream.
By the time the clamp was released, Jia Yuntong's ten fingers had no shape, and more than one finger had obviously been broken.
"Hmph, now let's talk about your deception and kidnapping of people's daughters, according to the laws of the imperial court, this crime should be beheaded!"
"Huh?"
Although Jia Yuntong's face was distorted in pain, he knelt on the ground at this moment and kowtowed again and again.
"The adults are clear, the villain is wronged, the villain is wronged, the villain is doing business and transiting, and he has not made any ...... at all"
The woman in white outside the yamen laughed miserably, and the ghost was becoming more and more terrifying, eager to eat that person's flesh and drink that person's blood!
But although the woman's ghost appearance was terrifying, her anger was far less strong than before, Yi Shuyuan was not too afraid, and even shook his head slightly in the direction of the door, and pressed her hand slightly in the air to reassure her, because he knew that Lin Xian Ling didn't believe that Jia Yuntong at all.
Compared with Yi Shuyuan's passionate talk before, everyone present knows which one is sincere and which one has a ghost in his heart.
"If the adult is willing to give the villain a chance, the villain is willing to donate 5,000 taels of silver to the Yuanjiang County Ya as a donation!"
Jia Yuntong was also in a hurry, and even shouted these words in the court.
Lin Xianling sneered, he thought that he was indeed not a clean official, he actually loved money, and he also received some silver taels from large households in the county on weekdays to give some appropriate convenience, but everything about Jia Yuntong in this matter can only be disgusting.
"Bribing the court officials, the crime is added to the first degree!"
After speaking coldly, Lin Xian Ling looked at Yi Shuyuan.
"Mr. Yi, is Miss He Xin still there?"
Yi Shuyuan's heart moved slightly, and after getting up and saluting, he integrated his own emotions and said in a deep voice with a hint of hatred from the woman.
"Lord Hui, Miss He has always been there, she is standing outside the public hall and looking at Jia Yuntong, when she passed by the door, she almost pounced, and now she is wandering at the door, as if she wants to rush in and eat Jia Yuntong's flesh and blood!"
Jia Yuntong's body shook violently, Yi Shuyuan's voice seemed to come into his heart, he looked at the door, at this moment, the yin wind gusted and the ghost horn sounded, and under the impact of resentment and weakness of heart, a white-clothed figure with a miserable smile went from blurry to clear in front of his eyes, with a blue face and fangs and scarlet eyes......
The words before the head capture sounded in Jia Yuntong's heart: "Do you choose to go to the county government, or wait for the ghost to come to the door?" ”
"Ahh I'm obsessed, I'm not human, spare me, spare me-"
Jia Yuntong collapsed on the ground and shrank inward with his legs, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly faced the public case, kowtowing to the ground with his twisted hands.
"My lord, I'll recruit them, I'll recruit them all, I'm the one who killed them, it's me-"
"Knock knock~"
Jia Yuntong kowtowed again and again, and was already frightened.
Yi Shuyuan looked at Jia Yuntong with wide eyes slightly, did this person actually see He Xin? Also, it's him who should be seen the most!
At this moment, everyone in the public hall looked at Jia Yuntong coldly, and some people even looked outside the public gate, and even the arrested Jianghu master outside the hall looked at the gate of the yamen in horror.
