Chapter 656: The Real Culprit
The appearance of this "fire dragon" brought about a terrifying power, and the garden was almost instantly dried by the heat due to the heavy rain.
And the ghosts, which were the main targets of Xue Daoren, naturally bore the brunt of the attack and were directly attacked by the fire dragon.
"Roarβ"
The sound of the fire dragon was not so much the roar of itself as the whistling of flames moving with the wind.
"Boom."
The whole garden shook for a moment, and then the ghostly screams ceased.
The fire dragon circled in the garden for a few weeks, and as Xue Dao's body staggered to his knees, the fire dragon formed by the burning spell also dissipated.
"Whew."
When the fire dragon dissipated, it still brought a gust of hot wind, and it also brought Xue Daoren, who was already unstable, to fall backwards, barely supporting the ground sideways.
Zhong Zhutou carried the Liu family on his back, and he hadn't had time to escape from the county office, and he was also staring at everything in the courtyard at the moment, and Qiao'er in the house and some of the conscious officials were also in a trance.
The rain has long since stopped, and although the golden rooster has not really brought the sun out, the bright moon has hung high in the sky.
Xue Daoren gasped a little violently, he himself was a little unbelievable at the scene just now, but at this moment he didn't care about being in a daze, and immediately looked around.
It's just that Xue Daoren is not allowed to do anything more, and the feeling of dizziness strikes again, this time he really can't stand it, and he just lay on his back and fainted.
Zhong Zhutou finally reacted, and when he saw Xue Daoren falling, he couldn't help but shout, and the others around him also exclaimed.
"Dao Chief-" "Dao Chang Xue-"
The sound was accompanied by some vague figures approaching, but Xue Daoren had already lost consciousness.
Outside the county office, Gray Mian fell from mid-air and returned to the shoulder of the white-haired old man, who looked at the old man with shocked eyes.
"Sir, Xue Daoren's trick is so familiar. Isn't this, isn't this the signature spell of Han Shiyong, the Great Yan National Master back then? β
Although Han Shiyong had taken the Guiyuan Pill refined by Snow Python Gall at that time, he was a brilliant person, and he was a superb, and he was superb, and he was no longer like a mortal means.
"Maybe"
Yu Weng replied, looked up at the sky and left, Xue Daoren was able to use this trick directly, to be honest, it was a little surprising.
On the street, there are already bold people who have gone out to check, after all, the movement of the county government is really not small, and many of them have been woken up by the sound of roosters.
ββ
In the early morning of the next day, almost all the personnel of the county government were present, and there were many officials on the mission, and several officials also came.
In a battle with ghosts in the middle of the night last night, the county officials injured more than a dozen officials, and even Zhong Xingwen, who was the head catcher, was also injured, and the Taoist was still unconscious at the moment.
However, after last night's servant, as long as he was not injured and couldn't move, even if it was early in the morning, he was too excited.
They told their colleagues who had returned from last night's shift, or who had not been involved in last night's events, and everyone in the yamen was amazed, and even a few officials were very shocked.
At present, although the county government is operating normally, several officials and many officials have gathered in the official residence, and Xue Daoren is also lying in a specially cleaned room at the moment.
The doctor who came to see the doctor yesterday had already been invited, and he was a little dissatisfied with being almost taken to the county office before dawn, but when he learned that there were many wounded, he still continued to see a doctor and save people until now.
After the doctor dealt with the others, he finally returned to Xue Daoren's bedside, originally the first thing he saw when he arrived at the county government was Xue Daoren, but the situation of Daoren was not something that could be cured casually.
Outside the house, the county lieutenant couldn't help but ask Zhong Zhutou, who had dealt with his injuries.
"There really was a ghost yesterday, is that really so terrifying?"
Although Zhong Zhutou's injury is not light, it does not affect his actions and speech, and he looks like he is fine, but he needs to take medicine to recuperate, and he can't help nodding again and again at this moment.
"Lord County Lieutenant, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes last night, that ghost thing is extremely fierce, if it weren't for Xue Daochang's magical spells, I'm afraid that not only Mrs. is dangerous, but also his subordinates and others will inevitably die!"
The county lieutenant can not believe the exaggerated descriptions of the other officials of the county government, but he will not disbelieve Zhong Xingwen's words, let alone believe that so many people in the county government deceive people with the county lady's wife and personal maid.
"Alas, it's a pity that the official left a little earlier and couldn't catch up to help at the critical moment"
The county lieutenant sighed and said, and then looked at the Taoist who was still unconscious in the room.
Fortunately, the official left in the middle of the night, otherwise I don't know what would have happened, what the ghosts are like is certainly curious, but it would be too stupid to get into danger because of curiosity!
Of course, the county lieutenant's opinion of the Taoist has also changed, and it is one thing that he is unwilling to take risks, which does not mean that he does not admire people who are willing to take risks for others.
Obviously, this Taoist is not a cheater, he is a real master of subduing demons and eliminating demons, it's a pity!
The county lieutenant's gaze turned to the head catcher in front of him, as for Zhong Xingwen, the county lieutenant has always attached more importance to it, and it turns out that he is not wrong.
"Zhong Zhutou, take good care of your injuries, and this Taoist chief must also take care of it, and all expenses can be put on the yamen's account."
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhong Zhutou was a little absent-minded when he thanked him, and the county lieutenant's question also reminded him of last night.
In addition to the magic of the fierce ghosts, the screams and the sound of bitter resentment also lingered in his mind.
"Give back my husband, give me back my life"
This poignant voice seems to still be in the ears, and at the same time, Xue Daochang's words during the day yesterday are also extremely concerned.
It's a ghost, but it's pitiful!
A terrible ghost, a female ghost, or the original woman, shouted to return my husband and my life, and had such a great resentment towards Mrs. Guan
Zhong Xingwen's thoughts couldn't help but keep diverging.
"Zhong Catcher?"
"Ah, the subordinates are here!"
The county lieutenant's puzzled voice brought Zhong Xingwen back to his senses, and he hurriedly saluted to face the other party, but the former patted him on the shoulder.
"Zhong Zhutou, you are tired, and the injury is not light, go home and recuperate for a while, don't go wrong with the meridians, you are allowed to take a long vacation, you don't have to take care of the affairs of the county government for the time being, you can rest assured, I will also speak for you over there, and you will do a great job!"
Zhong Zhutou bowed solemnly to the county lieutenant again.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Hmm!"
The county lieutenant explained a few words, looked back at the people in the house over there, and left.
When the county lieutenant passed by, some of the officials next to him avoided it, or pretended to come here, or pretended to pass by, and when the county lieutenant left, they hurriedly came over, and gathered in front of the head catcher in front of the door.
"Headcatcher, was it so exciting last night?" "Oh, it's a pity, why am I not here!"
"On my way to the county office, I heard a lot of people talking about it!"
"yes, the roosters in the city crowed in the middle of the night last night!" "Alas, my family is too, it turns out that it's because of this!"
"Brother Zhong, I heard that you fought with a knife against a powerful ghost, and that person called out a fire dragon, is it true or false?"
These officials were all excited, obviously they were not there last night, there were strong classes and fast classes, and most of them were relatively young.
Zhong Zhutou shook his head and was about to speak, when someone inside exclaimed.
"The Taoist is awake!"
In the house, the doctor was writing a prescription on the table, and there was movement on the bed behind him, and the guards shouted out, and everyone gathered around, including Zhong Zhutou and others, who were originally outside the house.
"Dao Chief!" "Dao Chief."
"Daoist, are you alright?"
"Dao Chief?"
Voices of concern or curiosity came, and in Xue Daoren's consciousness it was blurry to gradually clear, as if although the person seemed to open his eyes slowly, he was not immediately awake.
"Tell Madame!" "Alas!"
The person next to him was flustered for a while, and after a while, the first word appeared in Xue Dao's mouth.
"Water"
A hoarse voice sounded, and someone next to him immediately went to pour water, but Zhong Zhutou took the water bowl, went to the bedside in person, held the Taoist's back with one hand, and carefully approached the water bowl with the other.
"Dao Chief, drink water"
Xue Daoren's lips were close to the water bowl, his thirst for water was stimulated, and he drank a little fiercely, but Zhong Zhu's head was steady, so he didn't let Daoist drink too violently.
"Dao long, slow down, drink slowly, the water has to be."
Xue Daoren heard the voice clearly, looked up at Zhong Zhutou, held his wrist with one hand, and clenched it very hard.
At the moment when the fire dragon burned the ghost thing last night, Xue Daoren also seemed to be able to feel the pain and unwillingness of the ghost thing at that moment, feel the source of that resentment, and even vaguely see something.
This ghost did not originate from this in the first place, and last night's ghost was not a pure ghost, but the one who was really wronged to the death was far away
The water was drunk, Zhong Zhutou wanted to get up but was still grabbed by the Taoist, he had to let others pour the water again, but Xue Daoren kept looking at Zhong Zhutou, his lips opened and closed and made a slightly hoarse sound, but others couldn't hear clearly.
Zhong Zhutou leaned his ear closer.
"Dao Chief, what do you want to say?"
Xue Daoren felt himself last night, and he also felt the resentment last night, it was no longer just the idea of eliminating disasters for others, although his voice was hoarse, it was still clearly in Zhong Zhutou's ears.
"Headcatcher. This ghost died unjustly, unwillingly. Madame is kind-hearted and should not be harmed by ghosts, but the real culprit is still free"
At this moment, Zhong Zhutou understood what Xue Daoren was talking about.
"The water is coming, the water is coming!"
Zhong Zhutou took the water bowl and still approached the Taoist.
"Dao Chief, drink water!"
"Madame is here!"
Someone shouted outside, and the crowd dispersed a lot, and then Liu and Qiao'er came over to say thank you and greet each other for a while.
And Zhong Zhutou also stepped back a little, watching the lady over there shush the Taoist and ask for warmth, and he was also thinking about what happened last night.
With the early years of learning from old people in other places, and his own years of experience in handling cases, as well as the intuition in his heart.
Zhong Xingwen has almost come up with an answer, the real culprit may be the heaven of today's Haiyu County - Guan Xinrui, the county lord!
