Without speaking, Zhang Kaitai rushed back to the front hall first, and Xu Qi'an also wanted to rush with Zhang Jinluo, but no one was fast.

When he arrived in the front hall with great speed, he happened to see Zhang Kaitai use his sword to cut the last paper figure in two.

At this time, there were a lot of shredded pieces of paper on the ground, and there were nearly ten paper figures in the side. In addition, there were two teenagers lying on the ground, their throats were cut by a sharp blade, blood was splattered everywhere, and they had died of exhaustion.

"What's going on?" Xu Qi'an was shocked.

"A lot of paper figures suddenly came out of these two people, and they wanted to kill people and kill them, but they were stopped by us. Yingong, who was in charge of guarding the prisoners, replied, but the answer was to Zhang Kaitai.

"How are the prisoners?" Zhang Kaitai asked, as he looked at the middle-aged man in brocade who was curled up in the corner, protected by several gongs.

He crouched in the corner with his head in his hands, his face facing the wall, making it impossible to see his face.

"Hey, it's okay. The gong on the side kicked him, and the middle-aged man collapsed to the ground.

Everyone's faces changed slightly, and the silver gong in charge of guarding it strode over, and after probing his snort and neck, his face was ugly, and he clenched his fists in a panic:

"If the lowly guards are ineffective, please punish them. ”

Zhang Kaitai suddenly became very gloomy, his forehead was bruised and angry, he was silent for a few seconds, and slowly exhaled: "It's not your fault. ”

He walked over to the corpse, pinched the middle-aged man's neckline, shook it slightly, and the clothes shredded into pieces in the sound of stabbing.

The middle-aged man's naked body was exposed to everyone's eyes, and there was a bright red mark on his chest.

"This is a sorcerer's curse and killing technique, taking human hair, blood, nails and other things, supplemented by the eight characters of birth, can kill people invisibly. Zhang Kaitai shook his head.

This is unpreventable, especially a system like Takefu, which is only good at violence.

"What about the paper man?" Xu Qi'an asked.

Zhang Kaitai squatted beside the corpse and muttered for a long time, "These paper figures make me think about something, the witch god cult has unpredictable methods, there are spell killing techniques, there are dream killing, and the ability to manipulate ghosts and corpses.

"These [Shuquge quge.xyz] paper figures are attached to them by ghosts, driven to do things for the caster. ”

Xu Qi'an, a smart person, instantly understood what Zhang Kaitai meant, and exclaimed: "The well in the backyard is... The wizards of the Witch God Cult are dedicated to raising ghosts. ”

This would also explain why it was a ban, not a complete purification.

"That wizard is probably nearby. ”

"But now that he is gone, our surprise attack has caught him off guard, so he lurks around, casting spells to kill people, and the man is dead, and he will not linger in the vicinity. ”

"Zhang Jinluo, can't you even sense this paper figure? I didn't even find that the paper figure was hiding on these teenagers just now. ”

"One, the divine sense of a warrior can only warn of things that pose a threat to oneself; second, the paper figure is not only a thing attached to the ghost, but also a layer of seal, which can shield the perception; and third, the paper figure does not have a strong lethality, and is usually used to do things, not to kill enemies. ”

Xu Qi'an suddenly became angry, scolded the waste, the black gold long knife came out of the sheath, and the sharp knife cut through the beams of the hall, and the broken wood and tiles fell "with a bang", causing the women and teenagers to hug their heads and scream again and again.

In the shadows of a street away, I saw the collapsed roof ridge in the distance, and the people hiding in the shadows sneered and said "hey", and then fell silent.

.....

Ministry of Works.

In the master bedroom, his deceased wife has been dead for many years, and there has never been a continuation of the Ministry of Works, and he sleeps soundly with his concubine in his arms.

A paper figure drifted into the courtyard with the night breeze, fell lightly to the ground, and after a few seconds, got up and squeezed himself through the crack in the door with difficulty.

It carefully avoided the charcoal basin, walked to the side of the bed with jerky steps, and floated up to the bed with a light breeze, landing on the pillow of the Ministry of Works.

The paper man staggered to his feet on the pillow, riveted his strength, and hit his head in the face of the Ministry of Justice.

Gongbu Shangshu, who was in a very light sleep, frowned, slowly opened his eyes, and after he saw the paper figure on the pillow, he suddenly woke up.

After observing the concubine first and confirming that she was sleeping soundly, he picked up the paper figure, got out of bed and came to the table, lit the candles on the table, unfolded the paper figure, and squinted to read the small words on the paper.

Not long after reading it, the face of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu changed in vain, and his beard trembled. After he finished reading, he let out a breath of turbid air with relief, and regained his composure and relaxation.

After burning the paper figure with a candle, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu returned to the bed, looked at the sleeping concubine, groaned for a while, slowly picked up the pillow, and covered the concubine's mouth and nose....

.....

The next day, the Criminal Department.

The secretary of the criminal department, who got up early, came to the yamen and personally went to the prison to inspect the watchmen who were detained here.

A total of 46 watchmen involved in the embezzlement case, from Jinluo to Tongluo, are all detained in the Criminal Department.

Originally, according to the rules, the three yamen should have taken their own custody and interrogated separately. However, the Wang Party lost two core members one after another in the tax and silver case and the Sangbo case, and was inseparable from Wei Yuan.

"People are watching the sky, and you think that if you are silent, you can escape the royal law?"

"This official has already checked your family property and drawn up an excerpt, and after His Majesty has seen it, none of you will want to run.

Of course, the official is still willing to give you a chance. Who instructed you to embezzle silver taels and oppress the people? Isn't it Wei Yuan?"

No one answered him.

Suddenly, someone sneered: "Corruption? Lord Shangshu, please tell me, how much silver I embezzled? Lao Tzu has been a watchman for more than ten years, and he is not greedy for a copper plate." ”

Hmph, it's a good idea..... Shangshu of the Criminal Department followed the voice and walked over, and saw the man who spoke, and his first glance was not on the man, but on the neat cell.

The booty and dead grass on the ground were all swept into the corners, the cobwebs in the corners of the walls were gone, and the straw mats were still tattered, but they fit neatly on the bed, and every detail was in order.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department wondered in his heart, looking at the man who spoke, this was an old-fashioned looking watchman, although he was wearing a prison uniform, he gave people a clean and tidy freshness, his hair was neatly combed, and the sleeves rolled up left and right were extremely symmetrical.

Looking at this man, looking at this cell, including the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, several officials of the Criminal Department spontaneously felt an inexplicable sense of comfort....

"What is this person's name? Sun Shangshu stood with his hands in his hands.

"Li Yuchun. ”

"How many taels of silver are you greedy for? How many suites are there in the inner city?" ”

The official opened the booklet and looked at it for a while, but he didn't speak for a long time, and was glanced at by Sun Shangshu before he whispered:

"There is a simple courtyard in the inner city, there is an old mother, a pregnant wife, money... The criminal department only found fifty taels of silver in his house. ”

"Fifty taels of silver?" Sun Shangshu was shocked, a silver gong in the hall, but there were only fifty taels of silver.

"How did you find out. Sun Shangshu felt that this was the sloppiness of the people from the Criminal Department.

The official whispered in his ear for a moment, and after listening, Sun Shangshu was silent, as if he didn't bother to bother with this man who loved cleanliness, and turned around and left.

In the prison where silence was restored, Jiang Luzhong leaned his back against the wall and sighed.

"Old Jiang, what are your plans?" asked the golden gong next door knocking on the wall.

"What can I do, after the dismissal, find another way to make a living. I won't be a shadow, my wife and children are in the capital. "Jiang Luzhong didn't have a good airway.

"Hey, I have no children or daughters, but I can take a trip to the rivers and lakes, and I'm tired of staying in this place in the capital. The golden gong said.

"Bullshit. Jiang Luzhong sneered: "You said a while ago that you plan to marry a wife and have children and settle down in the capital." Lao Tzu hated that he hadn't scavenged money all these years, and only took some small profits, otherwise this squatting would not be wronged. ”

"Oh, then you can go to the grass after you get out of prison. ”

"Get out. ”

The worst result is to be dismissed, at least there will be no threat to life, Gao Pin Takefu, as long as he does not commit too much of a mistake, the court will not impose capital punishment.

The high-grade martial artist who launched the madness should not be underestimated.

"Ahh

Leaving the prison, Shangshu of the Criminal Department asked, "Why didn't you see that little miscellaneous piece surnamed Xu?" ”

"It seems to have escaped. The officer replied.

"Is there a wanted warrant?"

"It has been prepared, and it will be released when the yamen stamps it. ”

Sun Shangshu nodded with satisfaction: "How much silver did that kid embrace?"

"Yesterday, I sent someone to check the Xu Mansion, and only found hundreds of silk satins, but there was not much silver. The official said.

Sun Shangshu said "um": "Put away those silk and satin first, and when the matter is understood, they will be sent to the adults in the yamen." ”

"It's... We didn't dare confiscate those things. The official whispered.

Sun Shangshu's eyes sharpened: "Huh?"

The official smiled bitterly: "Then, it was given by His Majesty, no one dares to ask for it, turn around and Xu Pingzhi sue the royal court..."

“.... I heard that the guy often goes to the teaching department?" Sun Shangshu looked for another breakthrough.

"Yes, we sent someone to ask the old bustard of the Teaching Workshop Division, surnamed Xu, in just two months, he slept with eight Oiran in the Teaching Workshop Division, and it was good with the floating incense of the Shadow Plum Pavilion. ”

"Isn't that it? Sun Shangshu was a little excited: "It turns out that the money is spent on the belly of the woman, and the confessions of those women in the Teaching Department can also be used as evidence." ”

The official was very embarrassed and said: "But the confessions of those women are very uniform..."

Sun Shangshu looked at him with questioning eyes, and the official said indignantly: "Those women said that they admired the talent of the surname Xu and volunteered to serve without taking a penny. ”

Sun Shangshu's body shook, and he was almost angry.

"Bastard things, if there are no flaws, arrange flaws for him, and send him money if there is no money!" Sun Shangshu said in a deep voice:

"This official will never let go of this little crumb. ”

He returned to the hall angrily, poured a sip of warm tea, and before his buttocks were hot, the clerk hurriedly came in and said:

"Lord Shangshu, there is a message in the palace, and Your Majesty has summoned you. ”

Sun Shangshu glanced at the water leak in the corner, at this point in time, the early dynasty had passed. Summoned by His Majesty, it is either something or a small court.

Why is Your Majesty so diligent? He convened his courtiers for three days and two times.... The criminal department Shangshu said: "Swing the car!"
