397. It's a Deal (Ask for Subscription, Little Kiss)
Including Daoist Jin Hui and Duanyou Feng, the bigwigs of the Jinshan faction and the Golden Drum faction have all been attracted by this strange case.
Originally, when the murderer's case was over, although they could get a satisfactory result, they would feel a little unpleasant.
Now that the case has taken a turn for the worse, the murderer caught by the yamen has actually committed epilepsy!
So the big guy got excited and bustled to see the excitement.
Two torches were lit in the yamen of the city, and the wind of the first month was still cold, and the torches could not stop shaking.
A wooden bed was simply propped up in the lobby, and a person leaned his head back and bent his legs bent, like a bow.
Some officials are busy: "The towel in his mouth should be stuffed tightly, don't let him bite his tongue!"
"Pinch others, pinch hard!"
"Why hasn't the medicine been taken back yet? Alas, in this way, go and ask the kitchen to take out gastrodia, tangerine peel, rice, and sugar to stew a pot of gastrodia rice porridge!"
When a servant heard this, he said, "Is Lord Liao hungry?" If you want to drink porridge, I will go to a porridge shop, and now the back kitchen is afraid that the fire has been turned off......
The official's beard trembled: "This is a damn cure for diseases and saving people! I'm hungry? Of course I'm hungry, I'm going back tonight to eat mutton soup and drink a fart porridge!"
Xie Toad walked quickly to the wooden bed and took out the towel in the mouth of the shopkeeper of the white shop, and while his mouth was not closed, he quickly stuffed a piece of talisman paper into his eyes.
Then he stretched out his hand to the forehead of the shopkeeper and said softly: "The hands are reversed, the feet are reversed, the fire is boiling, the poison is returning to the tail, and the urgency is like a law!"
There was a flame burning in the shopkeeper's mouth, and his cheeks suddenly turned red, and the flames went up and down first, Xie Toad said: "Pick up his pants, quickly." ”
The officials glanced at each other and retreated.
Dou Dachun roared: "Don't pick up his pants, Lao Tzu will pick your pants!"
The officials rushed up.
A blood bubble appeared on the tail point of the shopkeeper's thigh, and Xie Toad took out a silver needle and quickly roasted it on the flame, and shook his hand into the blood bubble.
"Squeeze out!"
Purple-red blood flowed out, and the smell was strong.
Wang Qilin exclaimed: "Dao Ye is really omniscient and omnipotent, not only can cure sheep epilepsy, but also know how to roast and disinfect under the needle." ”
Xie Toad was surprised: "What kind of fire roasting and disinfection?"
Wang Qilin said: "It's just that you burned it on the fire with a needle just now." ”
Xie Toad smiled and said, "Oh, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the old Taoist master did this when he taught the needle kung fu, and the old Taoist just learned from him." ”
The blood was squeezed out, and the shopkeeper woke up leisurely, and saw a circle of Taoist priests and servants surrounding him, and he was about to pump it again.
Dou Dachun hurriedly pinched others and finally pinched him.
The shopkeeper trembled and knelt on the ground and said in horror: "The adult forgives the sin, the villain has been afraid of the official since he was a child, and when he meets the official master, he can't help but go crazy." ”
Daoist Jin Hui said lightly: "You are very lucky, you met Daoist Xie who has advanced cultivation, he just used the Separation Fire Brain Technique to burn the evil wind toxin in your skull, and you will not smoke it again in the future." ”
A group of Taoist priests raised their hands and sang: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Senior Brother Xie is merciful." ”
The shopkeeper kowtowed to them again and again, and it could be seen that he was indeed very scared and grateful to Xie Toad.
But when Wang Qilin interrogated him later, he even shouted that he was wronged, saying that he didn't know any Lao Zhai at all, and he had never given people a longevity pillow and a longevity quilt.
Wang Qilin beckoned, and Xu Da took out a set of longevity pillows and handed it to him and asked, "Isn't this from your store?"
The shopkeeper skillfully flipped out the quilt stitches and said: "Please Mingjian, look at the trend of the quilt stitches, this is a two-way centipede foot, and the stitches used to sew the quilt at the villain's house are called an arrow to the west sky." ”
Wang Qilin couldn't help but marvel when he heard it.
It turns out that the business engaged in by the white shop also has rivers and lakes.
He asked the shopkeeper which store these things came from, and the shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "My lord, you have the grace of reinvention for the villain, the villain really doesn't know who still uses such stitches to work, this stitching method is unlucky, ordinary people use it to sew clothes and quilts may be fine, but we can't, absolutely not." ”
Wang Qilin said: "Shopkeeper, I believe you are telling the truth. But now that the suspicion is pointing at you, you have to find a way to clear the suspicion, otherwise you know what the yamen will do, right?"
As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper's face turned pale, his eyes rolled white, and he was about to squeak again.
Dou Dachun went up to pinch people again, Wang Qilin looked at Xie Toad and said, "Dao Ye, didn't you cure him just now?
Daoist Jin Hui said with a smile: "My senior brother did cure his physical problems, but heart disease also requires heart medicine, Lord Wang may not understand the art of pills, so he didn't see that this shopkeeper has a heart disease." ”
The shopkeeper pushed Dou Dachun away, and said with a miserable expression: "What this Taoist chief said is very true, when the villain was young, he saw his father fall into unjust prison and be beaten by the servants, and he left the root of the disease from there. ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Qilin couldn't persecute people anymore.
But he didn't look like he was lying, and he was already sick in the face of the officials, so he shouldn't dare to lie anymore in the yamen.
So he looked at Ninety-Six suspiciously.
Nine-six looked left and right, and Eight Meow was not there, nor was the little tail, so it had to look back at its own tail.
Wang Qilin squatted in front of it and asked, "You smelled the smell on the quilt again in his house just now?"
Ninety-six solemnly nodded: "Six-six-six!"
Absolute!
Wang Qilin looked at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper suddenly knelt down: "Adult, the little one is really not lying, the little one is ......."
"The official doesn't suspect you of lying, the official is wondering, does your shop sell cloth and cotton for bedding to others?"
The shopkeeper shook his head decisively: "The cloth and cotton used by the villain are all bought from other stores, and they are only sold to finished products, and never to sell raw materials." ”
Dou Dachun understood what Wang Qilin meant, and asked, "Whose store did you buy the cloth?"
The shopkeeper said: "Qiaotou Cloth Village!"
Dou Dachun said to Wang Qilin: "Seventh Master, go to check Qiaotou Cloth Village? It is estimated that someone bought cotton cloth from Qiaotou Cloth Village and the longevity pillow and quilt sewn by cotton themselves, and the sale of this kind of cloth should be recorded." ”
Wang Qilin clapped his hands and said, "Okay." ”
Duanyoufeng said: "Lord Wang, it's getting late this day......
Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "Listen to the heavenly prison always handling cases at night. ”
Duanyoufeng hugged his fist at him and saluted, and Daoist Jin Hui shook off the dust and sang: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, don't say that Shuangjing is expensive, I'm afraid to worry for the people of Changjiao." The people of Uehara Mansion are guarded by all the adults, fortunately, fortunately!"
The case has reached this point, and Wang Qilin also has the heart to find out the truth, so the group went to find Qiaotou Buzhuang together.
Before he reached Qiaotou Buzhuang, halfway through Jiuliu suddenly snorted and ran into an alley and shouted at a shop.
The people in the shop were a little puzzled when they heard the sound of 'Six-Six-Six', and when they came out to see that it was a dog barking, they waved their hands strangely and impatiently: ", the dog comes to the door in the middle of the night...... Shh
A group of people came with gloomy faces.
This guy was stunned, what does it mean that so many people are coming?
He hurriedly went to find the shopkeeper, and Wang Qilin saw that this was another white shop.
What do you mean?
Jiuliu went in and shouted more happily, and the old shopkeeper who was settling accounts looked at everyone with fear: "Everyone, my lords, my uncle, is there something wrong with you coming to the shop?"
Dou Dachun nodded to Wang Qilin: "Seventh Master, it should be the matter of Qiaotou Buzhuang, Jiuliu also smelled it in his house." ”
Wang Qilin asked the old shopkeeper: "The cloth for your family to make shrouds and quilts is from Qiaotou Cloth Village, is it?"
The old shopkeeper smiled: "Don't hide it, my lord, the cloth in the villain's store is not our local goods." The villain's family is a big family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, so the cloth in this store is sent from the rich land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
Wang Qilin was surprised when he heard this.
How so?
Dou Dachun was even more surprised: "Your cloth is not the goods purchased by Qiaotou Cloth Village?"
The old shopkeeper didn't understand why they were so surprised, and subconsciously said, "It's really not ......."
Wang Qilin sniffed the air, and a stream of sandalwood floated faintly.
Xie Toad preemptively said the answer: "The problem is not the original taste of the cloth, but the smell of the air in these white shops!"
Wang Qilin asked again: "Old shopkeeper, where does the sandalwood in your store come from?"
The shopkeeper said, "Oh, there is an incense worker named Mr. Xiang in our Uehara Mansion, and my family's sandalwood was bought from him. ”
Wang Qilin immediately looked at Xie Toad, Xie Toad flew to find the timid shopkeeper who was still in the yamen, he quickly came back and nodded solemnly.
Incense worker, Mr. Xiang.
So they left the shop halfway through and changed directions......
Fortunately, Mr. Xiang's home is not far from this store, and it is also in the city, they rushed to the alley where the incense worker was, and Jiuliu immediately opened his mouth to call: Dad, it's this smell, it's cool!
Wang Qilin pressed its dog's mouth.
There was a small courtyard in the incense worker's house, Wang Qilin waved his hand, and the masters of the Jinshan faction and the Golden Drum faction went out one after another to surround the courtyard.
After they started to do it, they felt that something was wrong: they were not the messengers who listened to the heavenly prison, so why should they listen to his orders?
There is a thatched hut in the courtyard, the doors and windows are closed, and the light is dim.
Two figures were reflected in the window, one of them motionless, the other swaying regularly.
Xu Da appeared beside him and whispered, "Is this shadow that doesn't move a wooden man or a corpse?
"Kowtow. Xie Toad said coldly.
Xu's scalp exploded: "Grass, kowtow?
Xie Toad said, "How do you know that the one who doesn't move is a dead man?"
Xu Dagan laughed: "Dao Ye, we are our own people, there is no need for you to scare me, right?"
Wang Qilin said: "It's all here, what nonsense are you still talking about here?
He fell from the wall and said in a deep voice: "Listen to the Tianjian case, is anyone at home? ”
The smell of incense ash in the courtyard was stronger, and the incense powder flew up when the wind blew, which made him feel like he was stuck in a sandalwood mist.
The room was still silent, and the two shadows did not respond.
Eight Meow got out of Wang Qilin's arms, and after landing on the ground, he walked with a tiger face: Who is this in the house? So arrogant? Deaf and can't hear my father's words, or do you treat his words as a fart, so I don't care?
Xu Da put on his tiger and leopard jacket, threw out his big mace, opened the door and rushed in.
Then his screams rang out.
Wang Qilin's figure shot in like lightning, grabbed Xu Da's shoulders and retreated unwell, but there was no ambush in the house, only two paper figures.
A paper man sat on the ground, and a paper man kept kowtowing.
None of them are alive.
The two paper figures were the size of normal people, dressed in normal clothes, and sitting on the ground were women, wearing thick blush and lipstick, and long hair made of ponytails on their heads.
The kowtow paper figure is a man with clear and lifelike facial features.
After Bameow entered the house, he scratched his ears with his hind paws, and his face was full of suspicion: This is a fellow Taoist? Yo, this kowtow skill is good.
Wang Qilin said in a deep voice: "Master Xu, the older you are in the rivers and lakes, the less courageous you are, what is there to be afraid of?"
Xu Da tilted his face slightly, stretched out his hand and pointed upward.
Wang Qilin looked up and saw a person lying on the beam of the house looking at them silently.
No sound!
The two paper figures kowtowed under the light, and there was a living person on the roof beam staring down expressionlessly, Xu Da encountered such a scene as soon as he came in, and he was already bold if he was not scared to death.
The man on the roof beam was motionless, his eyes glazed.
Wang Qilin even felt that he was also a paper man, an overly realistic paper man.
Xie Toad is a good hand at playing with paper people, he glanced at it after he came in, shook his head and said: "There are only a few forms of paper people, and there is no wind and no charm." ”
Hearing this, the man on the roof beam jumped down, and Mu asked in a daze, "Will you be like a paper man?"
Wang Qilin asked him, "Are you Mr. Xiang?"
The man didn't look at him, but still looked at Xie Toad.
Eight Meow couldn't control her little temper again, and shook her paws to go up and scratch: Didn't you hear my dad ask you?
Wang Qilin grabbed the skin on the back of its neck, and the eight meows remained motionless as if they had clicked on the acupoint, but their eyes were still wide, and a cat's paw pointed forward.
It's like a road sign.
Xu Da looked at this man and said in a low voice: "Seventh Master, it's a little weird, Uncle looks at him as a fool." ”
Dou Dachun probed his brain and looked in from the door, turning into a gopher waiting to be beaten again.
Daoist Jin Hui behind pushed him in, and said angrily: "Dou Zhutou, you are so timid, how can you protect the safety of the people of Shangyuan Mansion?"
Dou Dachun sneered: "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, act cautiously, and act cautiously." ”
His hands were pressed on his waist knife, his eyes kept on the two paper figures, and then his legs shook like hip-hop.
Wang Qilin asked Mr. Xiang again, but no matter what he asked, the man just stared at Xie Toad.
Eight Meow gave Ambassador Xu a look.
Xu Da was surprised, picked up the mace and shouted: "You are pretending to be a ghost and pretending to be a coercion here, what do you mean? I think the uncle doesn't dare to get you? Okay, then let's eat the uncle's stick!"
The mace slashed down with a whistling sound, and the man didn't even blink his eyes, nor did he dodge, just as if it was just a dead grass blown by the wind in front of him.
Xu Da held the mace.
At this time, the stick had already been attached to the man's forehead.
Xu Da had to be convinced, and said stupidly: "Okay, even if you are ruthless, I have no choice but to be the seventh master." ”
Xie Toad said in a deep voice: "Yes, the old Taoist priest will be like a paper man, how about it?"
The man knelt directly on the ground: "Please teach the Taoist master the technique." ”
Xie Toad shook his head and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, you don't have to kneel, the old Taoist priest won't pass on your spell." ”
The man kowtowed: "You must pass it." ”
Wang Qilin asked: "You get up, the official has something to ask you......
The man ignored his words like a deaf ear.
Wang Qilin finally got annoyed, threw away the eight meows, and lifted him up and shouted, "Can't you hear the words of this official?"
Eight Meow stood up: "Meow Meow!"
The man said: "I heard it, but I answer you, can you let this Taoist master teach me the spell of a paper man?"
Wang Qilin was speechless for a while, and the man showed an expression that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and knelt down again.
Hachimeow didn't understand why he was so obsessed with kneeling, it suspected that there was something strange here that he hadn't seen through, so he staggered and acted like a street slipper, walked to the man, pulled his neck and looked left and right.
It still didn't see anything wrong, so it pouted and walked away.
What about fooling meow?
Fortunately, Meow Ye didn't kneel, otherwise wouldn't he kneel in vain?
Although there are many kneeling masters, none of them are kneeling in vain!
Daoist Jin Hui and the others, who were watching the excitement, were already impatient, and said: "Why should Lord Wang talk nonsense with him? He is just pretending to be crazy and stupid, and he will bring it back to the yamen and let Lord Dou directly serve the big punishment, and see if he tells the truth!"
Dou Dachun was stunned, why? Why should I be punished for such a thing? Don't I want a reputation?
Wang Qilin nodded, and at this time, the man turned his head to look at him and muttered: "Lord Wang, Seventh Master, listen to the Heavenly Prison, are you Lord Wang Qilin who ordered the Yin soldiers to kill some evil ghosts from the Nine Secluded Land?"
Wang Qilin nodded again.
The man knelt down at him again: "Lord Wang, you help me, I'll say whatever you ask!"
Wang Qilin said coldly: "You are not qualified to negotiate conditions with this official. ”
The man said: "You help me, I will give you the ancestral treasure!"
Wang Qilin said: "This official does not negotiate conditions with any criminals, don't you still understand what this official means?"
"Now there is only one way in front of you to go, answer the official's question, and then let's talk about something else!"
The man said happily: "You ask." ”
Wang Qilin asked, "Do you know Lao Zhai?"
The man said: "I know, but he is dead, and you are a step late if you want to find him." ”
The answer was so crisp and crisp that Wang Qilin was speechless for a while.
What do you mean?
"How did he die?" Xie Toad then asked.
The man's face showed a hint of confusion, and he said, "I don't know, I killed it, but it wasn't killed by me." ”
"Don't play dumb riddles with me," Wang Qilin said sharply, "You make it clear!"
The man said: "He was short and alone, so I negotiated with him to help each other. ”
"I gave him a morning and evening incense, bought him the green clothes and boots he wanted, made him a longevity pillow and a longevity quilt, and gave him paper money, incense and tomb sweeping in the future. ”
"He'll do me a favor, go to Jiuyou to help me pick up my lady and come back......"
Xie Toad hurriedly explained: "The Chaosi Dusk Xiang he said is my Taoist Yunyan Pill, one thing. ”
You can't be mistaken for a rollover anymore!
Dou Dachun slapped his forehead and shouted: "I remember who you are, your name is Xiang Peihu! Your lady was killed in October, but you keep telling people that your lady will come back, right?"
Xiang Peihu nodded and said, "Yes, it's me, my wife will come back, she promised me." ”
He looked at the others and said, "I have done everything I promised her, and she has promised me that she will return from Hades." ”
"But she never came back, I don't know why, so I wanted someone to help me go to the underworld to see what was going on, why she never came back, if only I could help bring her back. ”
Listening to the bland words, Wang Qilin and his entourage's expressions gradually became sluggish.
What kind of thinking is this?
Xu Da couldn't help but ask: "Brother Tai, you just killed five people because of your lady's words to comfort you?"
Xiang Peihu hesitated: "I, did I kill someone? Their lifespan has expired, I have calculated it for them, and their lifespan will end on that day." I went and told them, and they believed, and if they didn't believe, I wouldn't kill them. ”
"This is a madman!" said Daoist Jin Hui.
Xiang Peihu shook his head and said: "I'm not crazy, I'm telling the truth, but I know you don't believe it, no one believes my words, but my wife believes it." ”
"I also believed my mother, she said she would come back, but she never came, so I need to find someone to help her in the underworld to see if anything has happened to her. ”
"I asked twenty-six people, and twenty-one of them didn't want to help me, so I didn't kill them, but they all died. ”
Wang Qilin looked at Xie Toad in horror.
Xie Toad looked at Xiang Peihu carefully and asked, "Can you calculate the life and death of people, and you can count the art of remembering the relics?"
Wang Qilin was deeply impressed by the art of counting water and remembering the remains, and when he was walking in Yinhua Township, Pingyang Prefecture, he encountered a yin difference and knew this method.
Xiang Peihu shook his head.
Xie Toad asked again: "Then will you listen to the sand and calculate the sky?"
Xiang Peihu shook his head again.
Wang Qilin said: "Xiang Peihu, you tell the truth, how do you know their lifespan?"
Xiang Peihu hesitated, he looked at everyone, and he swallowed.
Daoist Jin Hui smiled contemptuously and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, why don't you have anything to say? It's not so easy to lie, right?"
Xiang Peihu shook his fist, he looked at Wang Qilin and asked, "I can't just say the answer, but if you are willing to agree to send Yin soldiers to save my mother......"
Xie Toad sighed softly: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Lao Dao is also dizzy today, such an obvious answer is in front of him, but he didn't see it." ”
"You are not an incenser, you are a pilgrim. ”
"It turns out that you have cultivated the seventy-two incense spectrum of the Earth Evil, which can count the life span of a person!"
Xiang Peihu looked at him in surprise, Xie Toad puffed up his chest and smiled, "It's not difficult to guess your true identity from your profession. ”
Xu Da and Dou Dachun gave their thumbs up: "Dao Ye is awesome." ”
Dao Ye replied with his middle finger.
Xiang Peihu shook his head and said, "No, I'm not that powerful, I have cultivated the Tiangang Thirty-six Incense Spectrum, and I am cultivating the Seventy-two Incense Spectrum of Disha, but I haven't been able to cultivate it yet." ”
"So I can't calculate the life span of a person freely, I can only vaguely calculate some clues. But the more people who have reached the limit of life, the more accurate my calculations will be. ”
