"Knock knock ......"

The sudden sound of drums startled everyone in the dungeon.

Someone drumming? Could it be that someone is beating a drum in the middle of the night?

This is really a wave of unsettled, Lin Xiu can only let the prison officials take care of Jia Yuntong, and he and the county lieutenant and others hurriedly go to the direction of the court.

The station officer, who had already gotten up after the accident in the dungeon just now, trotted over with a water and fire stick in his hand, arrived at the public hall first, put on a posture, and prepared to shout "mighty" for a while.

The county commander and the county lieutenant, Yang Pingzhong and other people who were already in the dungeon moved to arrive later.

But before Lin Xiu and the others entered the court, a guard hurriedly ran to stop them.

"My lord, don't ascend to the hall yet, we haven't found the drummer!"

"What? Could it be that the sound is attacking the west? ”

At this moment, the county lieutenant and Yang Zhutou on the side also changed their faces greatly.

"Oh no, go to the dungeon-"

The two reacted almost instantly, and rushed back from whatever direction they came, Yang Pingzhong sprinted like a hundred meters, and the county lieutenant stretched out his foot and hooked it, and kicked the longbow and quiver in the hand of a servant on the side, and jumped to the eaves after catching it in the air.

This reaction stunned the official who had just spoken, and he didn't realize that it was caused by his own words.

Lin Xiu was also a little impatient on the side, but he knew that he couldn't catch up, and even if he went, it would only be a burden, and he suddenly felt upset.

"You shouldn't have seen anything before the drums stopped when you arrived?"

"Well, back to my lord, the drums stopped the moment we opened the door, and when we went out, I only saw the drumsticks rolling on the ground, and the rest of the parties didn't see half a figure......

"Yes, my lord, although I didn't find any drummers, there are still a few people outside, please go out with us!"

"Huh?"

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, a little confused by these two officials, what do you mean I haven't seen a drummer but how many people are outside? But he didn't care so much, and walked directly to the door with the two of them, and the two teams of standing officials in the public hall with water and fire sticks followed closely behind.

"My lord, these are the people!"

Seeing the situation by the drum stand outside, Lin Xiu finally understood, it turned out that there were three people in a coma back to back on the side of the drum stand, and they were trapped with hemp rope a few times, and there was a sleeping child sitting against the drum stand, covered with a layer of clothes.

Obviously, none of these four people can be drummers, so the drummers most likely want to attract people to find these four people, or maybe they may not be attacking the dungeon?

Lin Xiu thought about this and looked at the two gatekeepers.

"Why didn't you say that?"

The official suddenly felt nervous, and replied carefully.

"Uh, this, I was just about to talk about it, but halfway through the sentence, the county lieutenant and Yang Zhutou and they rushed out......"

Lin Xiu shook his head slightly.

"It's okay for them to go and see, if they're not afraid of 10,000, they're afraid of what happens, by the way, have you checked these people?"

"I don't dare to investigate without permission, and wait for the adults to make a decision."

Lin Xiu nodded and said to the people beside him.

"Check it out and see if you can find anything."

"Yes!"

The remaining two catchers around Lin Xiu immediately walked over to the three of them and began to check.

Because it was the county government drum, there would be a lot of county officials who came after hearing the drums, but it was a little strange to see a large number of people around the gate when they didn't see the hall.

It happened that the old sect leader also came, and after asking a few words from the nearby officials, he also hurriedly walked closer.

As soon as Lin Xiu saw the old sect leader coming, his face immediately turned happy.

"Sect leader Lu came just in time, tonight Jia Yuntong is suspected of being evil, and at this moment, someone is beating a drum in the middle of the night to lure us to check on these people, can you quickly see if there is anything wrong with these people?"

"Yes!"

As soon as the old sect leader came, the two catchers quickly moved out of the way, and after the three of them checked together, they looked at each other, and they could detect the surprise on each other's faces.

The old sect leader said in a voice that everyone around him could hear.

"These three people are strong and powerful, they are not ordinary people, they should be martial arts people, and their kung fu is not bad, but they are all seriously injured, and they should be controlled by other masters!"

After pondering his words for a while, the old sect leader looked at Lin Xiu and continued.

"My lord, the strength of the attacker is really beyond the imagination of the old man, and its internal force directly breaks through the meridians of the three people, so that several big points of the three of them are covered with bruises, which is a sign that the internal strength is wasted by external internal forces, and each of these three people only suffered an instantaneous blow......"

As he spoke, the old sect leader pulled the clothes on one of the people's chests to expose their chests, and red spots of blood stasis appeared on several acupuncture points on the first line of the Ren veins on the chest.

Although Lin Xiu couldn't understand it, he sounded like he knew it was amazing, and the old sect leader subconsciously looked at the surrounding streets, as if there was a peerless master hidden in the darkness.

"My lord, here's a piece of paper where you wrote it!"

A catcher suddenly found a piece of paper on the backs of the three of them against each other, and immediately carefully pulled it out and got up and handed it to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu took the note and flipped it left and right, and immediately understood something, and frequently looked at the three people who were tied up on the ground and the child on the other side, but he was not sure about the authenticity of the content of the letter.

"If what the letter says is true, then these three people were descended by righteous people from the rivers and lakes, and they have long been concerned about this case, knowing that these people are related to Jia Yuntong's case, and also saying that the location of the demon warlock casting evil spell is outside the city, and this child may be the son of Jia Yuntong!"

As he spoke, Lin Xiu handed the letter to the old sect leader who had already stood up, and the latter frowned after browsing it, and he didn't understand the matter of handling the case.

"What do you think?"

"Let's go outside the city first, Yang Zhutou, quickly take people to the southwest of the city to find the place where the demon warlock casts evil spells, uh......"

When Lin Xiu said this, he realized that Yang Pingzhong and the others had gone to the dungeon, so he said to the others.

"Go to the dungeon to see if there's anything wrong, if it's okay, let Yang Zhutou come over first."

As he was saying this, Yang Pingzhong came with a few catchers and two Yuezhou messengers, and they had already reported loudly when they got nearby.

"My lord, there is no situation in the dungeon, the county lieutenant is worried that something will happen here, so let me come here first!"

"Come on, come on, Yang Zhutou came just in time!"

Lin Xiu hurriedly asked Yang Pingzhong to come over, explained the situation at the gate to him, and then handed him the letterhead, Yang Pingzhong frowned and listened and looked at the situation of the three people at the door.

"Yang Zhutou, you quickly take people to the river outside the southwest of the city to find the place where the demon warlock casts evil spells, pay attention to everything!"

"Yes!"

After Yang Pingzhong took the letter, he glanced at the three people on the ground a few times, and then took a few Yuanjiang County catchers and officials, plus officials from the state for two months, to search outside the city together.

At this moment, by the drum stand, the child who was originally sitting on the ground and sleeping on the drum stand had been wrapped in clothes by the old head and picked up, and handed over to a short-bearded official beside him.

"This child may be Jia Yuntong's son, let's take it down and take care of it first."

"Hey!"

When the official left with the child, the door was suddenly deserted, but there were still people from the county government who heard the drum but didn't know the situation, including the master who was still a little untidy.

Lin Xiu stood at the door of the yamen and let out a long sigh of relief, although the situation was still unclear, it seemed that it was indeed beneficial to their side.

There is a lot of help for the righteous and little help for the unjust, I hope there are masters to help!

-----------------

On the other side, the officials who had been ordered searched all the way out of the city, specifically in the darker places, and finally, someone found the broken altar behind a bush and hurriedly beckoned the others to come over.

"Yang Zhutou, here-"

Yang Pingzhong arrived immediately with a number of officials, and after looking over the bushes, he saw the exploded altar at first sight, followed by small flags and dead bodies on the ground.

Everything on the altar, as well as the black-clothed mage who had been dead for a while, all explained what was going on here at night not long ago.

Halfway through the inspection, someone shouted not far away.

"Headcatcher, there's still a corpse here!"

Someone found the corpse of the Jianghu man, and Yang Pingzhong walked over again, only to see that the man's chest was sunken and bleeding, obviously killed by a very strong palm force.

"Shhh...... What a strong palm! ”

The dead person has thick calluses on his mouth, plus the blades that fell around him, he should be a good hand at making a knife, so the martial arts of the person who shot is even more not simple, and then think of the situation at the gate of the county government, what a master of that righteous man has filled everyone's minds with imagination.

Then everyone carefully checked the surroundings, combined with the situation of the three people outside the county government and the corpses here, they could basically confirm that there was a one-sided fight here before, and the black-clothed mage had no obvious wounds on his body.

After discussing with the people of the Yuezhou Yamen for a while, Yang Zhutou came to a conclusion that was closest to the truth.

"At that time, when Jia Yuntong was evil, it must have been this demon who cast a spell here, but he happened to be bumped into by a righteous man in the rivers and lakes, or he had already paid attention to these people and chose this moment to make a move......"

"The battle between the two sides was about to break out, and it also messed up the evil law of this demon, causing it to die in revolt, and the rest of the people were also subdued by the righteous warriors of the rivers and lakes! In this way, Jia Yuntong suddenly got better in prison, and it makes sense, because the person who performed the evil spell had already died violently halfway......"

It's just that who is this righteous man in the rivers and lakes, is it really just a simple righteous action? Is it really just one person or is there a group? The case is getting more and more complicated!

Yang Pingzhong is not the only one who has this thought, but tonight is a blessing for the Yuanjiang County Ya.

Everyone sorted out the scene first, marked it, and then packed up some items, and then brought the corpse with physical evidence back to the county office.

Again, this night is destined to be a busy night for the Yuanjiang County Ya, not only to sort out the evidence, but also to heal the newly arrived prisoners, and to interrogate the people who wake up behind, but also to comfort and take care of the child.

Even Yi Shuyuan was called to help.
