"No, no. Chen Qingtang denied it: "Poor Dao is from Wangshu County, fifteen years ago, there was an identical case here, three young girls were killed, if you don't believe it, you can access the previous case files to see if there are similarities between the two cases." ”

Zhang Zhubo looked at Chen Qingtang suspiciously and asked, "Is this true?"

Chen Qingtang looked sincere: "It's definitely not a lie. ”

Lin Yiming also helped Lao Dao to speak: "Uncle Zhang might as well go and transfer the case file from fifteen years ago, and take a look to know the truth and falsehood." ”

"So come with me. Zhang Zhubo took the two of them to the file department, checked it for a long time, and found out the case file that had been sealed for fifteen years.

Zhang Zhubo blew away the thick dust on the case file, opened it, read it page by page, the more he read, the more solemn his face became, and he couldn't help but read: "In the forty-second year of Wanli, on the fifth day of the sixth month, a fourteen-year-old girl in Yiyan Village, Wangshu County, died tragically at home, her body was naked, and she was hung upside down on the beam of the house by the murderer, and her whole body skin was peeled. On June 15, a 15-year-old girl from Baihui Town, Wangshu County, died tragically at home, naked, and was hung upside down by the murderer on the beams of the house, disemboweled, and her internal organs disappeared......

Chen Qingtang said from the side: "If Poor Dao is not mistaken, there should be a third murder that year." ”

Zhang Zhubo ignored the Taoist priest and continued to read the case file: "On June 25, a thirteen-year-old girl in Fuyu Town, Wangshu County, died tragically at home, her body was naked, she was hung upside down by the murderer on the beam of the house, her left wrist was cut, and her whole body was full of blood, but not a single trace of blood was found at the scene of the crime. ”

Lin Yiming said: "In this way, what the Taoist chief said is true. In the next few days, maybe the murderer will still hurt people. ”

Zhang Zhubo said to Chen Qingtang: "Old Dao, you wait here for a while, and I'll go see the eldest master." With that, he held the case file in his hand and hurriedly walked out of the file division.

After a stick of incense, Zhang Zhubo broke into the file with two saber dukes, pointed at Chen Qingtang, and shouted: "It's him, don't let him escape." ”

The two dukes stepped forward and couldn't help but say that they put chains on Chen Qingtang.

Lin Yiming was taken aback and asked, "Uncle Zhang, why is this?"

Zhang Zhubo said: "Don't worry about the son, the eldest master wants us to lock this old way to see him." ”

Chen Qingtang was taken to the county government hall, the county magistrate Lin Zhengqing was wearing an official uniform, sitting under the plaque of "honest and honest", and the six officials held water and fire sticks in their hands, standing on both sides.

Lin Zhengqing slapped the shocked wood, and shouted loudly: "Where did the bold demon Dao come from, dare to come to the jurisdiction of this official to be a traitor." You say you're an old man here, and you've heard about the tragedy of fifteen years ago. Let me ask you, that case is very secret, the official family strictly seals the news, you little people, where did you hear the details of the case, you are clearly the murderer of the crime, this official advises you to recruit it quickly, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin. ”

Chen Qingtang gave Lin Zhengqing a deep salute, and said slowly: "Lord Mingjian, poor and wronged, this case is not an ordinary murder, but a demon who is causing trouble in the world. If the adults can trust the poor road, the poor road will definitely be able to arrest the demon. ”

"Shut up, that's nonsense. Lin Zhengqing said angrily: "There are always people like you in the world, who bewitch the public and deceive people. ”

Lin Yiming saw that his father was angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to plead, Lin Zhengqing was willing to listen, drove his son aside, and ordered his subordinates to be executed.

Six public servants rushed up, pressed Chen Qingtang to the ground, took off his middle coat, four people held his hands and feet, and two people picked up water and fire sticks and beat them according to the old way's buttocks.

Seeing that he was about to suffer, Chen Qingtang quickly bit the tip of his tongue, recited a few words of mantra with blood in his mouth. The stick landed on the flesh and made a strange "bang" sound, which made the arms of the two men numb.

Lin Zhengqing sat up on the Taishi chair, only to feel that there was dust falling above his head, and couldn't help but look up, but saw that the "honest and honest" plaque above his head shook slightly with the frequency of the public hitting the board, and only heard a "click", and the plaque fell obliquely.

Lin Zhengqing hurriedly dodged, and the plaque fell down against his shoulder, and landed on the Taishi's chair, making a loud "boom".

"My lord", "father", the officials and Lin Yiming exclaimed at the same time.

"This official is fine. Lin Zhengqing stabilized his official hat, with an angry face, and said: "What a demon, dare to use witchcraft in front of this official, come on, quickly take a bucket of black dog blood and a bucket of feces, and splash them all on him, see how he still makes waves." ”

"My lord......" Chen Qingtang said with a serious face: "Poor Dao recruited, those two girls were killed by Poor Dao!"

"What?" Lin Yiming looked at Lao Dao with a look of astonishment.
