Xu Da released a summoning talisman, and Xie Toad took the two brothers He Yaozi and He Mengzi and a few children to escort the ghost Zhou Liao to the post house.

He met Wang Qilin at the door, and when he saw his face, he knew that the situation was not good: "What's wrong?"

Wang Qilin pointed back and motioned for him to go in and take a look.

He had seen dead people before, and he had killed people, but on a small scale, and at most he had killed a few more people when he caught the traffickers.

But the trafficker should be damned, he didn't have psychological pressure to shoot.

This time is different.

He had just entered the house and seen a series of dead people, and what he felt was strange.

A room full of people gathered together, dying together with their mouths open.

He had encountered many strange cases in the past, so his first impression was weird, and it was only now that he gradually came back to it.

There was a death in the Listening Heaven Prison in his own jurisdiction.

It's a recipe for destruction!

At this time, he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, standing at the door basking in the sun but not feeling the warmth, and the north wind blowing on his body couldn't feel the cold.

Originally, he came to the post to see the excitement, but when he came to see, his tower was stolen!

Xu Da knew that he was uncomfortable, so he walked over and handed him a roasted sweet potato and said, "Eat some." ”

Wang Qilin shook his head: "I can't eat it." ”

"Feeling bad?"

"Hmm. ”

"I'll lend you my chest and snuggle up?"

", give me the roasted sweet potatoes. ”

After a mouthful of hot and sweet sweet potatoes, Wang Qilin felt a little more energetic.

He analyzed while eating: "There are thirty-one people in the post house, and all of them enter one room, which is very abnormal. ”

There are many and chaotic people in the Great Seal Station, their identities are different, and their personalities are very different, and there is nothing impossible for them to appear together.

Xu Da also knew this, and said: "Yes, but it doesn't look like they were forcibly called together, and then something shot and killed them." ”

Wang Qilin said: "There is another possibility that they were gathered together after death. ”

Xu Da asked, "What is the murderer's purpose in doing this?"

Wang Qilin shook his head slowly.

He didn't know.

Things became very clueless, and the destruction of the post house had a great impact on him.

Originally, what he wanted to do was to come to the post office to find Zhao Rongsheng's big seal, arrest Zhao Rongsheng and interrogate him, so as to find the relationship between him and Xingtian Sacrifice.

But now that Zhao Rongsheng has disappeared and all the staff of the post house have died, he cannot continue to investigate the cases related to the Xingtian Festival, but must investigate the tragedy of the post house in a serious and strict manner.

It's all out of order.

Xie Toad came out after a while after entering, and he said: "Everyone has a dry body and a normal face, and the old Taoist priest has been traveling from south to north for some years, and this way of death is the first time I have seen the Tao." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Could it be that the zombies did it?" Huang Junzi said that there were people in the Black Mao Middle School in the Nine Gates, and they refined a bronze armored corpse. ”

Xie Toad shook his head and said: "Zombies like to eat people's yang energy, that's true, but they will only eat violently, and the corpses of those who die in their hands are often not able to make up, and it will never be such a group of people who are all intact." ”

"It's not sneaky, there should be a big demon in the world!"

Wang Qilin sighed and said: "This demon must be very powerful, Huang Junzi is in the dungeon, his people are outside the post house, there are people inside and outside, but there are no abnormal ...... inside and outside."

Speaking of this, he shook his head helplessly, the case is difficult to handle, and the opponent is very strong.

Xie Toad said lightly: "Who told you that they didn't find anything abnormal?"

"Is there one?" Wang Qilin was stunned, "I asked, but I didn't ask." ”

Xie Toad said: "Seventh Master, they may not be telling you the truth, what if someone is lying?"

Wang Qilin nodded silently.

Wu Fangzhai walked out with his work and said, "Master C, report to Lord Wang the information you have found." ”

An old man with a dark face came out to kneel and salute, Wang Qilin held him and said, "Why should the master be polite?"

The old man smiled and said: "Dare to let the adults know that the little old man is not polite, the little old man is a post house, of course he must salute when he sees the adult." ”

In the past dynasties, there was a system of good people and untouchables, and good people could eat and dress seriously, study and take the imperial examination, and go wherever they wanted, and there were some people whose social status was lower than them, which was a pariah, and they could not study, could not wear ayara, and could not even walk in the middle of the road.

Among them, the most widespread good people are the farmers and businessmen, and the untouchables are the post camp and happy servants.

Among them, a post household refers to a family member who has an immediate family member who has committed a crime and has run away and the family member has been demoted to a post household; a camp household is a homeless person who has left their homeland and moved to a new place; and a lehu is a person who specializes in sexual services, not only prostitutes, but also bustards.

A servant is best understood as a man who sells himself into slavery.

After explaining, he was about to kneel, Wang Qilin helped him up and said: "The matter is urgent, don't stick to etiquette, you can directly report what you found out." ”

Master C knew that he was tolerant of himself, and he was grateful, so he said carefully: "We will examine thirty-one corpses and untie fifteen corpses. ”

"All the corpses had normal expressions before they died, but they were actually weird. ”

"The cause of death is unknown, but the corpses were all dried up, and it is initially speculated that they died of blood and qi depletion. ”

In addition, it is difficult to speculate on the exact cause of death and time. It was cold and there was a fire in the house, and it was not clear how long the fire burned or how long the body had been in the house, but if we roughly pushed it, the death had been more than twelve hours, between twelve and sixteen hours. ”

Wang Qilin listened carefully to his report, and after he finished speaking, he asked, "What do you mean by saying that their expressions seem to be normal, but they are actually weird?"

Master C said: "The position of the corpses has not changed, Xiao Lao'er checked their expressions in detail, and found that they maintain a normal expression, which can be connected according to their position and each other's expressions, and their expressions are very strange." ”

"Some people are sitting opposite each other, one laughing and the other yawning, and some are three or five people sitting together, but one opens his mouth to make a drinking gesture, one closes his eyes and snores, and the other gestures angrily, how can this happen?"

"And," he paused, his face solemn, "Little Lao'er still saw Yu Zhenglishi and Jinshi Dalishi sitting together with a smile, this is absolutely impossible!"

"The whole Yuma County knows that these two wrestlers have never dealt with each other, and a few days ago, they even fought for Sister Zhengyao in the Goolan Courtyard, so the time is not separated by a few days, how can they suddenly sit together and laugh?"

Wang Qilin nodded when he heard his analysis and said, "So your speculation is that these people died in different rooms and were sent to the main house. ”

Master C habitually wants to kneel: "My lord." ”

Wang Qilin hugged him and said: "Don't stay in the yamen in the future, come to our heavenly prison to take up the post, and this official will give you the position of traveling star, so that you can get rid of the untouchable household registration." ”

The old gentleman has the ability to perform autopsies and has strong insight, and it is rare that he has a very good logic, so coupled with his age and experience, he is a talent for the Listening Heaven Eunuch who often deals with the dead.

Master C was stunned: "Huh?"

Wang Qilin said: "This official is willing to accept you into the Heavenly Prison to help you and your descendants get rid of your lowly status." ”

Master C was overjoyed, and his beard trembled with excitement: "Thank you for your appreciation, thank you for your kindness!"

Wang Qilin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Old gentleman doesn't need to be happy, you see, listening to the heavenly prison is hanging his head at the door, and maybe he will let something be taken away." ”

Master C said with a smile: "The little old man is already a sixtieth year, and he has earned enough money in this life." Now I can give my children and grandchildren a chance to get rid of their lowly status, this is a big profit, don't worry, whether it is catching ghosts or looking for demons in the future, the little old man is not willing to be left behind!"

Wang Qilin didn't need him to deal with ghosts and demons, he only needed this old man's autopsy.

From the moment he made the decision to inspect the seven counties and control the Heavenly Prison, he had a vague outline of his future development in his heart: that is, to form a professional demon subduing team!

As for the template?

He hadn't studied much, but he had seen the police force on Earth in his dreams, so he was going to build a team according to the template of the police force.

Of course, this is a later story, and the most important thing is to solve the tragedy of the post house.

Knowing that the post house in Yuma County had been completely destroyed, Wu Jingzhan was furious, and on the same day, he brought Wu Baoan and the elite disciples of Tianwumen to Yuma County and hurried to Yuma County, fully cooperating with Wang Qilin to investigate the case.

This is a serious case!

Wang Qilin felt pressure, and Wu Jingzhan was even more pressured!

If something happens to a post office under his jurisdiction, the court can use this to attack him, after all, he is a local governor and is in charge of public security.

After arriving, he first looked at the scene and then read the report, and after reading it, he was also confused: "What is the purpose of the murderer? Why did it gather all the corpses together? And your eyeliner, does he have any problems?"

Wang Qilin said: "I will continue to investigate him, and if there is any news, I will definitely inform Master Wu, and I will never hide it." ”

Wu Jingzhan said: "Okay, I'll also go to investigate immediately and communicate with each other." ”

Huang Junzi has cultivation in his body, and after drinking hot water and getting into the futon, he eased up, Wang Qilin called him and Lu Shi together and asked carefully:

"You guys are making a fuss at the door of the post house, has Zhao Rongsheng ever shown up?"

"Yes," Lu Shi said firmly, "We learned that he had a habit of gambling in the casino, and then set him up in the early morning. ”

"Zhao Rongsheng asked us how to solve it, we deliberately embarrassed him, refused to solve the matter, chased to the door of the post house and shouted. ”

"When was the last time they were seen?" Wang Qilin asked again.

Lu Shi thought for a while and said, "Yesterday's hour. ”

Wang Qilin calculated, from yesterday's hour to now, it is about fourteen hours, and Master C's speculation of death is twelve to sixteen hours, and the two phases can correspond.

He asked Lu Shi and then Huang Junzi: "Where did you find the abducted child?"

Huang Junzi said: "I asked someone to investigate the lower nine gates, and found that the lower nine gates had a rudder in Yuma County, so I sneaked into their rudder at night, and then found a dungeon. ”

"The children were trapped in the dungeon, and I knocked down the guards in the dungeon, brought out some of the children, and hid them in the Three Star Temple. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Why don't you take your men down to attack their rudder, but sneak into it yourself?"

Huang Junzi said with some sadness: "They don't have any magical powers, I have the Five Elements Escape Technique, so I will do the work of exploration." ”

"This time, I wanted to sneak into this rudder to check the deployment of the personnel of the lower nine gates, but I didn't go far away, and suddenly there was a sudden opening in front of me!"

"I went straight into their dungeon!"

Wang Qilin was speechless, what kind of luck is this?

After escaping into the dungeon, Huang Junzi appeared and entered a cell, causing several children to scream in fright.

The dungeon was guarded, and the guards looked up when they heard the sound and just took a look at him, Huang Junzi saw that he was fine, so he had to escape and overturn a few guards on the spot.

In this way, he could not continue to investigate the situation of the next nine gates, and found that he was startled, so he decisively opened the skylight of the dungeon and took away the children such as Dog Baozi nearby.

Huang Junzi's strength was too poor, and a master in the Lower Nine Gates bit him, so he could only place the children in the Sanxing Temple and go out to avoid the limelight by himself.

In order to protect the children, he used the techniques of earth and wood to create rumors that the old temple was haunted, and then when he delivered food supplies to the children again, Huang Junzi found that he was being tracked by the corpse.

Originally, he had the Five Elements Escape Technique, although the corpse could resist the wind, but he was like a mouse drilling a hole in the ground, and it was difficult for the corpse to find his traces.

It's a pity that what he encountered was not a clean corpse, but a group of clean corpses encircling and suppressing him, so he tossed and finally was arrested by the clean corpse.

Wang Qilin listened to him patiently and said, "Why don't you go to me for help?"

Huang Junzi said helplessly: "At that time, it was snowing heavily and the transportation was inconvenient, so I couldn't find you." ”

Wang Qilin said: "You have the Five Elements Escape Technique, and you still care about the heavy snowfall in the sky?"

Huang Junzi was stunned and said, "Do you think that my Five Elements Escape Technique can travel a hundred miles in a row?" Ah Qi, you may have too high expectations for my strength. ”

"Then you didn't know that there was a problem with listening to the heavenly prison in Yuma County at that time, did you? Why didn't you come to listen to the heavenly prison for help?" Wang Qilin asked again.

Huang Junzi said solemnly: "The people of your official family, except for Ah Qi, I can't trust anyone else!"

Speaking of this, he smiled smugly again, and said: "After I was arrested and sent to this post house, I knew that my caution was correct, if I came to Zhao Rongsheng for help, I am afraid that the old hen will give the weasel a New Year's greeting and send myself as a dish!"

Wang Qilin nodded, frowning and falling into deep thought.

Xu Da said: "Seventh Master, should we hurry up and pick the next nine doors now?"

Wang Qilin waved his hand and said, "No, you can't touch them for the time being." ”

The Xingtian Sacrifice is too mysterious, and the Heavenly Prison is investigating, and the Wu clan is also investigating, but no specific information about them has been found.

So looking at it now, the Lower Nine Gates were the only link they could have with the Upper Heavenly Sacrifice, and he couldn't break this bond.

After a deep groan, he said: "Master Xu, you go and tell the Wu Fang Mansion and let him tell the officials and servants that you must not leak the news of the destruction of the post house, but you must also inform these people of the fact that thirty-two people died in the post house." ”

Let him say that among the 32 corpses found by Tingtianjian, in addition to the 31 post house personnel, there is also a young man from other places whose identity information is unknown. ”

"In addition, the whole county will send out all the people who can be sent out, and keep an eye on the exits of each county to prevent the children in their hands from being transferred out by the Lower Nine Gates!"

"A few days ago, the road was closed by heavy snow, and the children could only stay in the cell after the rudder of the lower nine gates, and after Huang Junzi snatched a few, they immediately went to arrest Huang Junzi and look for the child together with the Tingtian Prison who opened up, why is this?"

"I guess they don't have enough children right now, or maybe the Heavenly Sacrifice is in a hurry to have children!"

"In this way, let's close the road first, so that they can't send the children out, hold them for two days, and then we will approach the lower nine gates and find a way to join them, they must be in a hurry to send the children to the Xingtian Festival at that time, and we will be able to contact the Xingtian Festival by pushing the boat down the river!"

He had to do his best to stabilize the lower nine gates, and he couldn't let the lower nine gates know that Huang Junzi, who had rescued the child, had fallen into the hands of the Heavenly Supervisor.

At the same time, he was going to take Xie Toad and Xu Da to approach the Lower Nine Gates and inquire about the news of the Heavenly Sacrifice.

After learning of his decision, Xie Toad groaned: "Seventh Master, the old Taoist priest thinks that your direction may not be correct, and the matter of the post house may not be related to the Heavenly Sacrifice. ”

Wang Qilin said helplessly: "I also know that the Xingtian Sacrifice is fierce, and he likes to break people's corpses into thousands of pieces, and the corpses of the people in the post house are neat, so it stands to reason that they are not the hands of the Xingtian Sacrifice." However, we don't have any clues, so we can't just stay in the post house and analyze, right? ”

Xie Toad sighed softly and said, "Okay." ”

Huang Junzi had already informed Wang Qilin of the address of Xia Jiumen in Yuma County, and the next afternoon they packed up and prepared to leave, but they were stopped by Wu Jingzhan before leaving.

Wu Jingzhan called Wang Qilin to the yamen, pointed to a middle-aged man with a long beard dressed as a squire and said, "Lord Wang, the case is a bit eyebrow-raising. ”

"Oh, what eyebrows?" Wang Qilin was overjoyed.

Wu Jingzhan knew that he was anxious, so he said simply: "Yesterday, after the official checked the case, he used a harrier to send a letter to Fucheng and the other six counties, and notified the Tianwu Sect to investigate the person whose corpse was intact but became dry, and then Yurui County Catcher sent a message that such a strange corpse appeared in their county two days ago. ”

He pointed to the middle-aged man with a long beard and said, "The rest will be explained to you by this relative." ”

The man bowed and said, "Student Qi Nanwen has seen Lord Wang, and Master Wu said that the case is urgent, so the student will not meet him with full courtesy, and ask Lord Wang for forgiveness." ”

Wang Qilin was very afraid to deal with famous scholars, and the etiquette was too complicated, so he was very happy to hear Qi Nanwen say this, and hurriedly replied: "There is no need to be polite outside of Qi Yuan, please quickly tell me what you know." ”

Qi Nanwen said: "The matter has to be talked about more than a month ago, the student has three sons, of which the eldest son and the second son are all married, and only one son is left. ”

"The student's youngest son is called Qi Xiaoxuan, he has been smart since he was a child, and he likes poetry and songs, four books and five classics, so the student is delusional, and wants him to be able to gain fame and fame in the future, so he has not set up a marriage for him. ”

"But about ten days ago, the dog's health suddenly deteriorated, and the wind blew and caused the wind and cold, and the student invited Lang Zhong to treat him, and Lang Zhong said that he was weak and his yang essence was lost, which caused the cold poison to enter the body and get sick. ”

"The student was shocked when he learned this, because there was no girl by the dog's side, how could he be weak and lose yang essence?"

Wang Qilin asked in a deep voice, "Is it that the scholar next to the dog is very handsome?"

Qi Nanwen shook his head.

Xu Da asked in a deep voice: "Is he flexible with his hands and likes to read yellow books at night?"

Qi Nanwen still shook his head, he said: "No, the dog doesn't have the habit of Longyang, the good of breaking sleeves, and he doesn't know the art of self-blasphemy. ”

Hearing this, Wang Qilin was a little impatient, this Qi Nanwen said that he wanted to get straight to the point, why did he still babble so much?

And there's no point in talking so much, I can't even see a lot of excitement.

He looked at Wu Jingzhan quietly, and Wu Jingzhan quietly pressed down his palm to signal him to be calm.

Qi Nanwen continued: "The student asked him carefully, only to learn that for several days in a row, there was a beautiful woman who came to look for my dog at midnight, and the two of them talked about poetry at first, but they were moved by emotion, and the two of them were obsessed with bed sheets for several days, which caused him to be weak. ”

"Knowing this, the student was naturally shocked, you must know that the dog's bedroom and study are both inside my house, if a foreign woman enters his room, how can my nursing home and the concierge not know the reason? And this girl only comes at midnight, she must be inhuman!"

"But please adults, please know that students have been obsessed with reading "Divine Strange Scriptures" and "Sou Shen Ji" and other mysterious and strange meanings since childhood, and they are quite interested in talking about foxes and ghosts, and they do not resist marrying a female ghost or monster as a daughter-in-law. ”

Hearing this, Wang Qilin was finally a little interested, and he hoped that Wang Liuwu would be so open-minded.

Xu Da really knew him too well, and when he saw him shaking his spirits, he knew what he wanted to fart, so he leaned in and whispered: "Seventh Master, you can introduce this Qi Yuan to my uncle, things gather by like, people by groups, no, it's close to Zhu and red and close to ink is black, it's not right, in short, the two of them have been together for a long time, and the uncle is familiar with it, and it is estimated that he will also want you to marry a female ghost or something." ”

Wang Qilin nodded solemnly, good idea.

He asked worriedly: "Qi Yuan is a landlord at first glance, and I am afraid that my father will not be able to make friends." ”

Xu Da continued to give him ideas: "Otherwise, Uncle will get your father a few books on Xuanqi Zhiyi to read and cultivate his interest." ”

"My dad can't read. ”

"Uncle is literate, uncle can read to him when the time comes. ”

Wang Qilin was very moved: "Good brother, I will have a baby with Suisui in the future, and I will recognize you as my godfather." But you just read him Xuan Qi Zhiyi's book, don't read him the yellow book, I don't want to have a few more stepmothers. ”

The two of them got together and muttered, and they were serious, sometimes with serious expressions, sometimes with a sad expression, and Wu Jingzhan thought that they had discovered something, and greatly admired the insight of the two.

Qi Nanwen said to himself: "That night, the students took the nurses to guard the outside of the dog's bedroom, but we didn't see anyone in the middle of the night, but there was a girl in the house out of thin air!"

The student was in a hurry and rushed into the house with the nurses, when a bewitching girl jumped off the dog bed, she quickly became smaller, and finally disappeared under the bed. ”

"The students and nurses opened the beds and looked closely, but they didn't find anything!

"Something weirder happened the next day!"
