Chapter 29: The Flower Picker
Bai Shangjie brought those who tried to intercept and kill him one by one, and the four Tuomai Realms and one Longmen Realm surrounded and intercepted him and one Tuomai Realm, and forced him to kill him back, although he was seriously injured, it was enough to show that his strength was strong.
After hearing this, many people in the family looked at him with admiration in their eyes, and anyone who can do this is also worthy of admiration.
Bai Jianxing's eyes flashed with light, and he asked again, "Who is that fugitive you are chasing?" ”
"Zhu Mingkui, the flower picker." Bai Shangjie gritted his teeth and said hatefully, it is different from the ordinary title of flower thief, there is naturally a reason.
Seven years ago, a horrific incident was exposed in a small village in Zhanzhou, where more than a dozen women disappeared overnight, and the government came to investigate to no avail.
A few days later, a chaifu found many dolls in a nearby ruined temple, which scared him so much that he almost lost his soul, and when he calmed down, he went to the nearby county town to report to the official, and the government sent someone to check and found that these dolls were all made of human tissue, and they were the corpses of those women who disappeared in the village.
The local government immediately launched an investigation, but to no avail, the county order knew that the matter was not trivial and could be reported decisively, and the imperial court sent a cultivator to arrest and investigate the case, but because a few days passed, there were few clues left at the scene, and only traces of those women who had been defiled were found, and almost nothing was found in the rest of the aspects, so they had no choice but to hang the case.
A year later, the same case reappeared in the next county, this time several rich girls were defiled and made into puppets, and the workmanship of the dolls was more exquisite.
Although he failed the previous time, Shen Capture already had a certain clue, and after layers of screening like a cocoon, he finally locked on a Tuomai monk named Zhu Mingkui.
It's just that before the arrest, Zhu Mingkui noticed some rumors and escaped in advance, this person is not high in cultivation but is very good at concealment and escape, and he fled into the 100,000 barren mountains under the pursuit of the gods, and finally disappeared, and since then Zhu Mingkui has entered the government's wanted list.
However, even in this case, Zhu Mingkui has repeatedly committed crimes in Yanzhou, and his goals are getting higher and higher, from the original village woman to the later rich girl, and then to the female dependents of some official eunuchs, and the puppets made are becoming more and more lifelike.
He was only a thief in the Tuomai Realm, and the imperial court did not use too many resources to hunt him down, plus he was extremely alert, and he fled thousands of miles when he felt that something was wrong, and he didn't catch him for several years.
It wasn't until three years ago that Zhu Mingkui wandered to Xihe County and wanted to attack the county guard's daughter, but he happened to meet Bai Shangjie who had returned from going out.
Bai Shangjie is a jealous and hateful person, as long as he sees this kind of person, he will never let it go, and the other party dares to commit crimes in their Bai family's territory, it is even more difficult to fight with the other party without saying a word, Zhu Mingkui saw that the situation was not good and chose to flee directly, and Bai Shangjie quickly lost it.
If this is the case, then give up, the other party found a higher challenge target than the official eunuch and the female dependent, the woman of the monk family, and the target was locked on the Bai family, so he should take revenge on Bai Shangjie, but he has been smooth sailing this time, he is considered to have suffered a catastrophe.
After several days of stepping on the spot, he was about to make a move on the Bai family, but was bumped into by Bai Shangjie's second brother Bai Shangwu.
At that time, it was near the family station, but Bai Shangwu didn't mean to call a helper at all, and launched a chase and kill Zhu Mingkui with one person and one knife, passing through the Mao'er Forest from Xihe County to 100,000 barren mountains, chasing him behind him and cutting him to the brink of death.
However, he was more familiar with the 100,000 barren mountains, and found a cliff to escape in a desperate place, which left a dog's life, and then for the next three years, he never showed up in Jiang Guo again, and there was no record of a crime, the Bai family thought that he was seriously injured and jumped off the cliff and fell to his death, but he didn't expect the scourge to last for thousands of years, and he didn't die in the end, and this time Bai Shangjie bumped into it in the 100,000 barren mountains.
Bai Jianxing was silent after hearing this, and after a long time, he chuckled, looked at the crowd and ordered: "Send someone to secretly block the gate of the Quartet, all monks are not allowed to enter and exit, Shang Wen, Shang Wu, Shang Cai, the three of you personally take people to the city to investigate, and allow the use of the Yuan Seeking Array Disk to see what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods are hidden in the city."
As for Shang Jie, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and you will need to escort Xun'er and them to the School Palace in a few days. ”
"Yes." The people who were called in the hall answered in unison, and with a fist salute, they took action.
Bai Shangwen, Bai Shangwu, Bai Shangcai, and Bai Shangjie are the sons and nephews of Bai Jianxing, the head of the Bai family, not that there are only four brothers in his generation, but only the four of them are currently qualified to sit in the hall.
Out of the gate of the Bai Mansion, Bai Shangcai approached his eldest brother Bai Shangwen and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, is it necessary to mobilize the people for a subordinate, how do I feel that the head of the family has other intentions for letting us all move." ”
Bai Shangcai didn't ask his second brother Bai Shangwu, because as his name suggests, he doesn't care about anything except practicing martial arts, and even the rule of reporting to the head of the family when there is something is taught by Bai Jianxing with his fists.
Bai Shangwen looked at his third brother pretending to be ignorant, smiled elegantly and took people away, and did not pick up, Bai Shangcai saw this deflated mouth, and also took people to another direction, as for his second brother, he had already run out of a few streets.
He didn't know the real reason, he just tested the attitude of the eldest brother, but the eldest brother didn't give him a chance, so he could only give up.
Bai Jianxing has only been the head of the family for less than two years, but his style of doing things is extremely tough, which has caused many people to be very dissatisfied, and he secretly made some small moves, wanting to cause chaos to the head of the family.
This time, let the head of the family find a suitable excuse, and he can clean up Xihe County with justification and fanfare.
I don't know if it was because the Bai family started to act, the streets and alleys of Xihe County were a little more nervous, obviously it was a hot summer, and there was a little more gloom in the city.
As if that weren't enough, the rain that had been hard to stop for two days came back, adding some irritability to the already stuffy town.
Did the rain really start to fall again by coincidence? Naturally not, this is the rain that Wei Feng summoned using his talent.
He said that he saw something similar to himself in Bu Ji, not without purpose, Bu Ji said that the first time he saw Wei Feng, he felt that he had killed someone, and Wei Feng was not.
When they first met, Bu Ji looked at the people who were with him, just as Wei Feng looked at the villagers when he was eleven or twelve, indifferent, guarded and indifferent, and disregarded for the lives of others.
The difference is that Wei Feng has the experience of the previous life after all, and he knows that most people are selfish by nature, and they will always harbor endless malice towards the weak.
He will have revenge, but he will not change his personality because of these malice, he will be careful to watch out for everything around him, but he will also let himself let go of his body and mind to love life.
Because of the existence of this shadow, Wei Feng will take the initiative to convey kindness to Bu Ji and Cao'er, and use his way to let the two know that this world will not only inflict malice on them, and the result makes him very relieved, these two have not become numb to the world, and they also have their own moral bottom line.
If it were a different person, he might scoff at Bu Ji's baseless "feeling", or be suspicious, but Wei Feng wouldn't, he really listened.
So he turned on the Demon Mist Rain and took a certain risk to summon the rain, ready to find out what made Bu Ji and Cao'er so afraid that they didn't dare to approach the Chamber of Commerce stronghold.
