Chapter 45: Jade and Jade Pendant
The difference between three children and three sleepy cabbages is huge.
Chu Xiuran grabbed the Taoist priest, pointed to the cabbage and asked, "What's going on!" ”
The Taoist priest showed three dark yellow teeth and grinned, "What's the matter!" ”
Chu Xiuran didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, "I'll only give you one chance now, if you don't take out the three corpses, I'll press you back to the county party right now and treat you for the crime of killing your head!" ”
The Taoist priest's face changed greatly, he was afraid and anxious, and said tremblingly: "Oh, Lord Qingtian, you are a good person." ”
Chu Xiuran was so angry that he couldn't say: "Good person? What kind of good person are you? ”
The Taoist priest said aggrievedly: "I'm here to save your life, aren't you a good person?" If I hadn't used the Dao method to transfer the corpses of those three children, you would have become a corpse by now. ”
Chu Xiuran was cowardly, not a fool, and shouted: "I am an official of the imperial court, you dare to lie to me?" I'm tired of it! ”
The Taoist priest said in a low voice: "Master Chu, you have been smashed. ”
Chu Xiuran was stunned for a moment, staring at him, "Don't sell it to me anymore, I'll give you the last chance to say the last word." ”
The Taoist priest sighed, folded his hands and said: "If you don't believe me, I can't help it, the heavenly secret can't be revealed, if it's still too late, now you can go back to the county party to find out, the bodies of the three children may still have time to be recovered, otherwise ......"
Chu Xiuran frowned, and said in disbelief: "You go with me." ”
The Taoist priest's eyes rolled around and said, "Yes, but we have to hurry." ”
As he spoke, the Taoist priest took out a piece of rune paper from his tattered clothes, turned his right hand, and had a few taels of cinnabar in his hand, and after crushing it, he sprinkled it on the rune paper, he clamped the rune paper with two fingers of his right hand, and grabbed Chu Xiuran with his left hand.
Chu Xiuran's gaze attracted the rune paper, and he didn't pay attention to anything else, and suddenly felt a dizziness in his mind, he closed his eyes and rubbed his head, and when he opened his eyes again, the whole person was stunned.
He was no longer on the street just now, but had returned to his county office, and he recognized the corpse in front of him as one of the three children he had taken away, and it was even more stupid to look at it.
A man dressed in black, standing next to a wooden bed, holding a blade in one hand and choking a ball in the other! The ball was still shouting, "Lord Chu! Save people! This person is going to kill Chen Gongzi! ”
Chu Xiuran hadn't recovered from the shock yet, but the man suddenly understood something, and immediately waved the knife in his hand and stabbed at the dragon beard grass!
Chu Xiuran was shocked, took three steps and made two steps and went straight to the dragon beard grass, shouting in his mouth: "Who dares to hurt people in the county party!" ”
He shouted, the outside of the house suddenly moved, the door was immediately kicked open, and it was dozens of good players in Shuilongzhai who appeared, and they immediately understood that the big thing was not good, when there were a few leaders, they grabbed a short blowpipe in their hands and put it on their lips.
The man in black saw that something was wrong, and the knife in his hand stabbed straight down, but was dodged by the dexterous dragon beard grass, and seeing that there was no time to stab a second time, he immediately jumped out of the roof.
Chu Xiuran shouted: "Chase!" ”
The good hand of Shuilongzhai immediately chased out, without hesitation.
Chu Xiuran took a deep breath, grabbed the dragon beard grass and said, "Who are you...... Thing? Why are you here? Why do you know me? ”
Long Xucao immediately said: "I am Bai Yujing's ......, don't hurt me, after I save this Chen Gongzi's life, he will naturally explain to you!" ”
Chu Xiuran was puzzled, but the current situation was a little out of his control, after the dragon beard grass was put on Chen Linchuan's body, he turned around and glanced at the room, on the wooden bed behind the three boys, there was one more person, he immediately walked over, only to see that it was no one else lying here, it was the old Dao who brought himself here.
Chu Xiuran was a little shocked at the moment.
This old Taoist doesn't look serious, but he has great powers, and he can move me directly from the street outside, it seems that he is a real immortal, a real power, and he must not be neglected.
This time, the emphasis of his speech was much softer, and he was also much more respectful, and said, "This Dao Master, you ...... Who the hell is it? ”
The old man ignored him, and was still lying on the bed.
Chu Xiuran was not impatient this time, and said in a good voice: "Senior, master, I know that you have the ability, but I don't know why you helped me, I want to be grateful to you." ”
When Lao Dao heard this, his loose eyelids swayed casually, glanced at him, and said slowly: "Lord County Lieutenant, Lao Yu is a stinky Taoist, but he doesn't dare to climb high." ”
The old yin and yang people.
Chu Xiuran smiled awkwardly, and saluted: "Dao Chief, it's me who doesn't know Mount Tai with my eyes, please forgive me, old man." ”
Lao Dao hurriedly sat up and said, "Don't, you are the county lieutenant, I'm just a stinky Taoist, and I can't afford such a big gift." ”
This time, he didn't sneer, but had a little more respect, took Chu Xiuran's hand, his eyes calmed down a lot, and he held his beard and said, "Lord Chu, a little magic is not enough to worry about, why do you make this big gift?" ”
Chu Xiuran said: "The seniors must know that the murder is about the case!" ”
Lao Dao smiled, "Knowing is knowing...... But because you know about the murder, you want to plead with me? ”
Chu Xiuran nodded and said: "Exactly, this case is imminent, I don't dare to slack off, and I also ask the Taoist chief for guidance." ”
Lao Dao's eyebrows were a little slack, and he sneered: "The people above are urging you tightly? Or do you get a lot of money? ”
Chu Xiuran took a deep breath and said, "Dao Chief, no one gave me a penny, and I am in a hurry to solve the case, not because the top is urging me tightly, but because I ......"
He lowered his head, his expression was full of unspeakable humility, which came from guilt, guilt for these corpses, guilt for everything he had done, and said in a trembling voice: "It's my fault. ”
Lao Dao was quite puzzled and said: "What is wrong with Lord Chu? ”
Chu Xiuran said: "If it weren't for my dereliction of duty, how could there have been so many murders in the past six months?" ”
He smiled bitterly: "Today I found out that more than 20 parents have lost their children, and I, as the county lieutenant here, have no idea about it, which is really ridiculous." This has a lot to do with me, and if I had found out earlier, I might not have made this the field it is today. ”
Lao Dao stared at Chu Xiuran for a long time, and naturally understood in his heart that this was the true expression of this county lieutenant, he had experienced many vicissitudes of life, of course, he could see whether this person was truly repentant, otherwise it would be impossible to stop him on the street and help him.
Lao Dao took out a pair of crutches, leaned on the ground, stepped off the bed, patted Chu Xiuran on the shoulder and said, "Now no one knows where these three corpses are, but you must know that someone wants to destroy them, and there is enough evidence on this to prove a lot of things." ”
Chu Xiuran immediately asked, "What evidence?" Please also ask the seniors to make it clear! ”
Lao Dao shook his head, "Now even if I tell you, it won't help, you have to find more critical evidence, it's better to go to Fengming Tower quickly." ”
Chu Xiuran was taken aback: "Fengming Tower? ”
Lao Dao said: "Yes, Fengming Tower, after you get to Fengming Tower, you will take out this thing and put it on the table, and the evidence will naturally come to you." ”
After that, Lao Dao handed over a piece of jade jade pendant to Chu Xiuran, and lay down on the wooden bed without saying a word.
