Chapter 6: Proving Innocence
Behind this bloodstained heart, there are two pieces of paper with scribbled patterns on them, somewhat similar to Taoist charms.
"I found a scar in the right armpit of the corpse, judging from the healing situation, it should not take more than ten days, and the scar was incised, which is exactly where the heart is."
"Only then did it determine that there must be something wrong with the deceased's heart."
Qin Gang stepped forward, tore off the two pieces of paper covered in blood, and carefully observed them for a moment, his expression gradually became solemn, "Daomen Yin Technique!" β
Li Huaiyun asked curiously, "Which cultivation sect is this?" Haven't heard of it. β
"A branch of Taoist practice!"
"Branching?"
"Yes, the Dao of the Orthodox Dao Gate pays attention to the integration of heaven, earth and man, but this branch does not pay attention to this, they are bounded by the dead land, specializing in the forbidden techniques of the dead, such as manipulating dead corpses and the like."
Qin Gang's expression was solemn, and he crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball, and the Yin magician colluded with the monster to cause trouble in Kyoto?
No! He immediately overturned this speculation, since it was collusion, then it must not be simply evil, there must be something else.
It seems that the emperor should be reminded to strengthen the defense of Kyoto, and the Demon Slayer Division should also send more people to catch the monsters hidden in Kyoto.
He cast an appreciative look at Li Huaiyun, glad that he had left this person, otherwise if he didn't find the clues in time, the consequences would be serious.
"Yes, you're doing a great job!"
"Where! Where! Li Huaiyun said modestly.
Si Zheng's praise completely reassured him, and being recognized by Si Zheng means that he has proven his innocence, and the rest of the matter just needs to continue to investigate.
He threw the heart in his hand to the corpse, took the short sword, and bowed to Qin Gang's fist, a little excited in his heart, at least he didn't have to go back to the dark and damp prison, and the meal that was not even as good as pig food.
"I still have to thank Si Zheng for giving me this opportunity, otherwise, I won't be able to stand here and wash away my grievances!"
"Thousands of generations!"
Yuan Xiu snorted and shook his head, "Your boasting is a bit too much!" β
Li Huaiyun immediately waved his hands towards Yuan Xiu, "Of course, I have to thank Master Yuan for the short sword, without this sword, it wouldn't have been so smooth." β
Immediately, he held the short sword in both hands and put it in front of Yuan Xiu.
"Helmsman, this short sword is full of blood, my subordinates don't know what to do with it, the helmsman is disgusted, as long as I am instructed, I will find a way to clean it up and return it."
This sincerity is useful to everyone! A smile flashed across Yuan Xiu's face, this low-level demon hunter, the ability he showed this time made him quite like.
There must be a fight for such a person, no matter what, I will let him stay in the Sword Pavilion.
"No need! I'll clean it up, you will make up for it this time, and find important clues, it's also a credit, I hope you won't be so impulsive next time! β
"Yes! Your subordinates must take it to heart. β
Li Huaiyun was a little unhappy in his heart, and he gave a lot of credit! Helmsman, do you really want to give a reward?
Qin Gang raised his head slightly, his eyes rolled around, and a sly smile appeared on his face, "Okay then!" You go back to prison, and then wait for the people of Dali Temple to retry the case in person. β

WhatοΌ Li Huaiyun's eyes widened, and Si Zheng's words directly silenced him.
Why am I so tired and tired to prove my innocence, and I have to go back to prison? Although this is in line with the course of the case, he has merit for it, and he actually has to go back to prison!
He scolded loudly in his heart, phew! Feudal society is rotten.
Li Huaiyun really didn't want to go back to that place, and just as he was about to open his mouth to plead, Hongyun stood in front of him first.
"Lord Sizheng, the concubine has something to say,"
Qin Gang's face was expressionless, and he refused directly, "No!" β
Hongyun didn't pay attention to Si Zheng's words at all, "Then I also want to say that Huaiyun was wrongfully imprisoned, and he went to this dead man's pile in person, risked a taboo, dissected the corpse, and helped you find clues." β
She pointed at Qin Gang angrily, "You are a dignified ruler, but you let him go back to prison, this is not unloading the mill and killing the donkey!" β
"Auntie! I'm not a donkey! β
"Shut up!" Hongyun had a gloomy face and glared at Li Huaiyun, "Since the Demon Slayer Division is so unsympathetic, then there is nothing to say, when the case is heard, you will resign to the Demon Slayer Division!" β
"Don't! I... "It's like a lot of parents who don't care about their children's thoughts and make decisions for them alone.
"The Demon Slayer Division is ruthless and unjust, what else do you have to be nostalgic for!"
"Oops! Auntie, you dissipate your anger! Li Huaiyun gently patted Hongyun's back and whispered, "Anyway, I'll just stay in prison for a few days, and I'll be out of the way!" β
"Besides... It's about to be paid, and if they leave now, what will they do if they deduct it casually? β
Hongyun turned her head and cut off, "They dare?" Besides, who is rare for your little money! Are you afraid that I will starve you to death! β
Yuan Xiu saw that the relationship between the two parties was a little tense, and in addition, he was also a little puzzled by Si Zheng's approach, according to this situation, as long as the Demon Slaying Division spoke, Li Huaiyun could leave the prison.
He didn't want to lose this demon hunter, so he opened his mouth and said to Qin Gang, "It's really a little inappropriate for Si Zheng to do this!" β
Qin Gang glanced at Yuan Xiu and didn't say anything about it, just laughed indifferently.
This smile made everyone else wonder what Si Zheng was thinking.
Li Huaiyun expressed his understanding, after all, the case was handled by someone from Dali Temple, and although the Demon Slaying Division had solid evidence, it was really ultra vires to release people privately without the government office.
He also understood that his aunt's temper was selfish, and in the past, this woman had strongly objected, and he entered the Demon Slaying Division.
In addition to the economic problems, there must be other reasons, but he just doesn't know it.
Qin Gang raised his hand and pressed down Hongyun's arm, "Mrs. Li, I understand what you say, but any case has a trial process, and the Demon Slayer Division can't interfere at will, otherwise it will be a disaster for the dynasty." β
"He has merit, it's true, but I can't show favoritism!" He stroked the gray beard on his chin, "However, I have a way to keep him from going to jail." β
"Really?" Hongyun regained her peaceful appearance, "What's the solution?" β
"Restore his identity as a demon hunter and go to investigate another urgent case, I believe that the people of Dali Temple will readily agree."
Qin Gang knew that the case in the water prison had already made those people anxious, although it seemed to be a monster, they couldn't find anything, and they couldn't find out anything, so they couldn't wait to hand over the case to the Demon Slayer Division.
Li Huaiyun suddenly realized and glanced at Si Zheng, isn't it! This old fox, what kind of solution is this, isn't it just to send me to do other work, to be honest, the donkeys of this production team have not worked so hard.
Hongyun frowned, thinking that the other party had said so, and then like before, it was unreasonable, she glanced at Li Huaiyun, "What do you think?" β
"Huh! I think so, the stinking prison is really not a place for people. β
Qin Gang showed a satisfied smile at this time, "Then let me remind you again, before the case is handled, you can't do anything to people during this period, otherwise, I will personally send you back to the prison." β
"Subordinates obey!" Li Huaiyun clasped his fists and saluted.
"Then do it, tomorrow you will go back to the Demon Slayer Division and investigate another case, and someone will come looking for you then."
Qin Gang turned his head to look at Yuan Xiu, "Then you, the helmsman, will be responsible for the follow-up here!" β
"Okay!" Yuan Xiu clenched his sword scabbard and replied softly.
Hongyun pulled Li Huaiyun out and said with an anxious face, "Okay! Let's leave the government office and go back to fix it. β
"Slow down! Aunt! Li Huaiyun was dragged by those white hands and staggered, and complained in a low voice, "You are in such a hurry, it will make people think that you are going to the cave room." β
Bang! Hongyun's fist slammed into his head, "Look for death!" Little bunny, take advantage of me again! β
The two of them pulled each other and came to the gate of the county office, only to see someone blocking the door.
Gao Xianling stood there angrily, domineering, and there were five or six guards behind him, "It's this woman, arrest me and put her in prison!" β
The group of guards behind him immediately pulled out the sharp broadsword glowing with cold light from his waist and surrounded him.
Li Huaiyun stood in front of Hongyun and stretched out his hand to signal, "Why did you arrest my aunt, what crime did she commit." β
Gao Xian Ling walked out from the guards, glared at them angrily, and pointed to his face that had bloomed and was full of bruises, "Beat the court officials!" And heavy hands! β
"Ahh Li Huai overlooked his head and looked at Hongyun with a confused expression, "Auntie, is this what you called?" β
"yes!" Hongyun generously admitted, "Who made him look like he was moving his hands and feet!" β
When Gao Xian Ling heard this, he was exposed, and immediately shouted emotionally, "Slut, you dare to slander this official in public!" Obviously, you begged me to do something, but I refused, so I became angry and beat my own official. β
Li Huaiyun finally knew what was going on, this was indeed something that his aunt would do, he couldn't bear it, the other party scolded her like this.
He gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and slapped Gao Xianling to the ground.
"Who are you scolding sluts!"
"Oops!" Hongyun patted his head lightly, but she was not angry at Li Huaiyun's move this time, "There was no one when I beat him, there are so many guards here, you still do it!" β
"Who asked him to scold your aunt!"
"What a stupid!" Hongyun had a smug look on her face.
Gao Xianling covered his face, fell to the ground and groaned in pain, "Why are you still stunned!" Hurry up and arrest them. β
Li Huaiyun was protected in front of Hongyun, constantly retreating, dodging and swinging the blade at him, he promised Si Zheng that he couldn't do it.
Facing the siege of five or six people, and unable to fight back, it is natural that his clothes were scratched with several wounds.
At the moment when the bright blade slashed towards Li Huaiyun's shoulder, a sword qi swept by at great speed, shattering the blade.
Yuan Xiu stepped forward and said expressionlessly, "Who moved the hand?" β
Gao Xianling, who got up from the ground, walked over and pointed at Li Huaiyun, "He and that slut beat up the imperial court officials!" β
When Li Huaiyun heard this, he wanted to go up again to make a move, but was pulled by Hongyun behind him, "Rabbit cub, you calm me down." β
At this time, Qin Gang quietly appeared behind Gao County Order, "I said Gao County Order, you are such a big official!" You didn't even come to greet me when I went to the water prison. β
Gao Xian Ling heard the familiar voice behind him, and immediately turned around, bent down and saluted, "Qin Sizheng has misunderstood, he needs to write a recital, and he really can't leave!" β
The Demon Slaying Division is the security department of the imperial court, and it is in charge of the security of the entire Great Zhou, so in the officialdom, no one dares to offend, let alone this small county official.
"Folding?" Qin Gang sneered and pointed to the palace, "Let's go, take me to see what you wrote." β
He said in a threatening tone, "If you can't take it out, then don't blame me... β
