Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

At this moment, in the wind, he suddenly realized: "I am Chang Jin". Life is short, like a mayfly in a dream, why bother thinking about those bends, a qiē from the heart, move forward bravely, kill all obstacles, and live a life that belongs to Changjin.

When I read "Water Margin", Lin Jiaotou Fengxue Mountain Temple, armed with an iron gun, killed several people in a row. Probably this is also the feeling......

Walking quickly, Chang Jin only felt the breath surging in his body. One step out, but half a foot away. By the time of Changjiazhuang, it was already the second half of the night.

After trekking for more than 20 miles in a row, Chang Jin was not sleepy at all, but was full of energy.

Without alarming anyone, he quietly entered the house.

A fire broke out at Mr. Liu's house in Qingshan Town last night, and Mr. Liu and the housekeeper were burned to death in the fire......

The river temple outside the town was also on fire last night, and the entire river temple was burned down, and the temple wished that the goddess Guo was nowhere to be found......

Two bizarre fires in one night suddenly filled the entire Qingshan Town with a terrifying atmosphere. Many people are talking in private, this Liu Zhisheng must have done too many bad things, so he was punished by God.

As for the river temple, sacrifices are held two or three times a year, and the family has to donate hundreds of dollars. The river god held too many sacrifices, which provoked the dissatisfaction of the god and punished him.

In just half a day, the entire Qingshan Town was spread, even Changjiazhuang was no exception. When Chang Jin was wandering around the village, he heard several idlers gathering together to discuss the matter, and one of them even grabbed Chang Jin to ask.

As one of the parties involved, he could only smile and deal with a few words.

Although Liu Xu is not an official, he is appointed by the county government. Hearing that he was mysteriously burned to death by fire, the county commander immediately sent a group of officials to Qingshan Town to investigate the cause of Liu Zhisheng's death in detail.

He led the team to investigate the case was Yan Zhennan, a well-known old catcher in Tongqu County, who led several officials straight to Liu's house and looked at the ruins in detail.

Chang Jin made careful arrangements before setting the fire last night, wanting to directly burn Liu Zhisheng and the others to ashes. It's a pity that people are not as good as the sky, and last night as soon as the fire started out, a servant who went to the thatched house appeared, and then woke up all the people in Liu's house.

Due to the timely rescue, the fire was quickly extinguished, and the bodies of Liu Zhisheng and Wang Mazi were also snatched out of the fire by their subordinates. At this moment, it was covered with a white cloth and placed in the courtyard.

Yan Zhennan has been a head hunter for more than ten years, and I don't know how many corpses I have seen. So when I first saw the corpse, my face was still unfazed.

didn't expect to wait for him to see the shape of Liu Zhisheng's chest wound clearly, his face changed drastically, and he fell to the ground.

"Yan Zhutou, what's wrong?" several of his subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"I'm fine" Yan Zhennan stood up with one hand, and his face was a little more refreshed. However, one of the clever subordinates could see that Yan Zhutou's one hand was trembling, and it was evident that there was something he couldn't believe when he checked the wound just now. Otherwise, a martial arts triple catcher wouldn't be so surprised.

Thinking of this, he quietly leaned over and asked, "Is there something wrong with the corpse?"

"Wait a minute, you tell the brothers that the matter is over, let's withdraw. Yan Zhennan opened his mouth and commanded in a low voice.

"What?" the subordinate was stunned, "The River Temple hasn't been inspected yet, and there are people burned there?"

"I said I didn't need to check," Yan Zhennan's voice became stern. After speaking, he walked towards the surviving Liu who was standing on the periphery waiting: "Madam, we have already checked the scene, and now we are going back to the county seat, and we will inform you of any news......"

Hearing what he said, Liu was also surprised and didn't understand what was going on. He shouted anxiously: "Yan Zhutou, there is already a thin wine at home, wait for a few officials to eat before leaving." ”

"No, we have something to do. Yan Zhennan waved his hand again and again, saying that he would not stay for long.

"Anfu, you go down to the account room to pay some money for a few adults to drink tea on the way. Seeing that the other party had made up his mind, Liu had no choice but to turn his head and rush down to command. Although she has never seen much of the world, she also knows that if she wants these officials to do their best, money is indispensable.

"Madam, no need" Yan Zhennan didn't even dare to accept the cashier, and after explaining, he directly beckoned his subordinates to get up and leave.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry, stay in Liu's house for less than half an hour in total.

Several of his subordinates were also confused in their hearts, and after leaving Qingshan Town for a few miles, one of them finally couldn't help but ask: "My lord, what is there in Liu's house? ”

"Then Liu Zhisheng was not killed by a sharp weapon, but by the Dao Fa supernatural powers! If I guessed correctly, the killer should have come out of the Taoist Academy. Yan Zhennan explained.

Hearing that this case involved the Taoist Academy, all the arresters were silent.

Under the royal law, as long as someone commits a crime, the government should arrest and bring it to justice.

But since the manifestation of the Dao Fa hundreds of years ago, everything has changed. The power of the Taoist Academy is getting bigger and bigger, and even if many Taoist priests commit crimes, the government has no right to intervene, so as long as the case involves the cultivators, most of them can only end up in the end.

If Liu Zhisheng was really killed by a cultivator, Yan Zhennan and the others continued to investigate, and it was very likely that they would be killed by misfortune.

A few years ago, they had all heard of a secret case in the nearby state capital, and it was also a murder case involving a Taoist priest, and the evidence was conclusive.

More than a dozen people, not one of them stayed, and all of them were killed.

After that, the Taoist priest calmly left, and no one dared to stop him.

A few catchers died in vain, and the family only got a few taels of pensions, which made people feel chilled.

"Yan Zhutou, why were you Liu Zhisheng killed by the Dao Fa?" asked the first to open his mouth unwillingly.

"How do I know...... Don't you see that the wound is very peculiar, the flesh and tendons inside have completely rotted and withered. If my expectations are correct, this should be the work of the Sword Immortal!"

In order to prove his words, Yan Zhennan unbuttoned his cloak and reached out to tear off half of his sleeve.

"Hiss......" Everyone turned their heads to look at it, and couldn't help but take a breath.

I saw that the arm was like an old tree root, and it had completely dried up. Suddenly, it looks like air-dried chicken feet. Yan Zhennan's right hand has been hidden in the sleeve of his coat, so everyone only knows that his right hand is disabled, but they don't know that it is this tragic scene.

"At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I spoke disrespectfully, but I provoked a Taoist sword cultivator, and the other party's long sword waved, and before I could react, my whole arm lost consciousness. The initial changes in the wound were exactly the same as those on Liu Zhisheng's corpse. After a whole month, my arm was like a thousand knives, I once asked a divine doctor to heal, and the other party shook his head again and again after seeing it, saying that there was a trace of sword intent hidden in this wound, unless it was a cultivator who took action to draw out the sword qi, otherwise the arm was abolished......" Speaking of the scene back then, Yan Zhutou's eyes were full of resentment.

After listening to him, several of his men fell silent for a while. In this world, there are not only government offices, but also Taoist courts.

Seeing that his subordinates didn't speak, Yan Putou continued to explain: "If there was only one Liu Zhisheng, I would naturally not think so much, but even if the River Temple was burned down, ninety percent of it was probably the work of cultivators. I don't know why Liu Zhisheng offended the cultivators and ended up like this. We just need to go back and explain the matter here to the county magistrate, and don't worry about anything else, otherwise we won't know how to die. ”

"Yes," several of his subordinates replied in unison.

Chang Jin also didn't expect that the divine sword qi he left on the corpse would attract the conjecture of over-arresting, and finally caused the case to be closed in confusion.

In fact, he spent the next few days at home waiting for the arrest to come to his door, but no one came looking for him at all.

Chang Jin, the wooden box brought back from Liu Zhisheng's house, also opened it and looked at it, and originally thought it was something important, but when he opened it, there were several large silver tickets hidden inside, which were hundreds of taels. Chang Jin was slightly disappointed, but it was a silver ticket.

With so much silver, you should be able to buy a small courtyard in the county seat.

If it was him, it didn't matter where Chang Jin lived.

But he also has a younger sister, and for the sake of safety, he can't do whatever he wants. This time, if the weasel hadn't gone to the county seat in time to report the news, I am afraid that the little girl would have been killed by Guo Shenpo.

It's still safer in the city, and there aren't so many ghosts and ghosts to worry about.

Chang Jin told his sister about his plan, and then took out a silver ticket, only saying that it was given by his classmates.

The little girl was happy when she heard this, but she carefully put away the silver ticket, saying that the money could not be spent indiscriminately, and that he would keep it for his daughter-in-law in the future.

Chang Jin couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, and persuaded him again and again, but the little girl was unmoved.

In desperation, he had to give up this idea for the time being. Wait until next year's examination to show your fame, and then it's not too late to move to the city.

There is no shortage of money, Chang Jin naturally will not let his sister suffer anymore, and forcibly rent a few acres of land in his family to others to cultivate, and his family only needs to collect some rent every year.

Time passed quickly, more than a month passed, and in the blink of an eye, Chang Jin traveled to this world for nearly half a year, and now he has fully adapted to life here. There were too many things during this period, even he thought it was incredible.

However, during this time, he lived a very leisurely life, reading books and crafts during the day, and practicing swords at night. I went to the county seat every three or five times, and commented on the eight strands I wrote with Mr. Ji. In the last quarterly examination, he was often promoted to the first class, and now he is also regarded as the key training object of the academy. Mr. Na Ji had advised him to stay in the college so that he would not have to travel back and forth.

Chang Jin could only politely refuse this, saying that there was something at home and he couldn't stay for a long time.
