257. The Stars Reappear (Ask for Subscription)

The Xiaoyin, Lux and Youxing of the Yuning County Post Office are all here, and they form a queue to confront Tianwumen.

Monk Yongfeng is not in the queue.

Wu Baoan's face was solemn, and he said: "Your lords may not know the reason why the students came to ask for Wu Weilai, but my family learned that Wu Weilai was arrested by you for violating the law of the country, so he urgently ordered me to take him away, because Wu Wei is a person with superb skills and many comrades, and you may not be able to hold him if you listen to the heavenly prison!"

Wang Qilin didn't care about listening to nonsense, he hurried to the small prison.

Wu Weilai is gone.

Monk Yongfeng also left the post house.

Soon, a wandering star came running and reported: "Lord Qiyu, the back door is open, they must have escaped through the back door!"

The Maitreya Buddha-like smile that Shen San had been hanging on his face was gone, and he roared angrily: "Yongfeng!

Wang Qilin stopped him and shook his head and said, "There is no need to chase, the Wu clan has not only arranged for Wu Baoan's disciples to rescue Wu Weilai, there must be other arrangements." ”

Shen San shouted unwillingly: "Seventh Master, they fled in a hurry, I don't believe there is no trace left!"

Wang Qilin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't you understand, Wu Bao'an's purpose in bringing so many disciples here is to attract all of our personnel out, and then Yongfeng will steal people, and someone will answer." ”

The Wu clan has been in Pingyang for two hundred years, and after three dynasties, the degree of control over the local area is by no means beyond their imagination.

Now that people have made a plan to pick up people and successfully received people, how can they still chase them back?

Needless to say, Shen San is a smart person, so he can naturally think of it.

He did think of this very quickly, and lowered his head gloomily: "It's a lowly mistake!

Wang Qilin patted him on the shoulder again and said with a smile: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, this is a good thing, give us a lesson." ”

He looked around at a circle of people who seemed to be loyal, but how many could be relied upon?

When he first learned that the Wu clan had actually disbanded the Pingyang Mansion Tingtian Prison Station, Wang Qilin was still wondering, how could the Wu clan dare to put his hand into the guards of the Son of Heaven? This is a taboo in the court!

Now he understands that Wu Pingyang is worthy of his reputation, and the Wu clan is really showing favor to him when he disbands the Fucheng Tingtian Prison Station, from top to bottom, I am afraid that the large and small post stations have been controlled by others.

Shen San was still a little unwilling, and asked, "Just let Wu Wei go?"

Wang Qilin didn't answer, he said: "If I have to find him out, I have a way, but even if I find him, what can we do?

He shook his head and replied by himself: "If you can't grab it, you will only offend the Wu family, and this deal is not cost-effective." ”

Shen San also figured this out, and immediately smiled bitterly.

Wang Qilin said: "Okay, don't be frustrated, rectify your team, the Wu clan can't keep Wu Weilai." Now the evidence is in our hands, Wu Weilai is not only a cruel official and indiscriminately killing innocents, he also wants to disobey the imperial court, this crime, the Wu family dare not touch!"

This is also the reason why he didn't chase Wu Wei.

Wu Wei came to him to eat, and the Buddha couldn't keep it when he came!

He walked out of the door and said, "Brother Wutai, please go back, Wu Weilai is no longer in our post house." ”

Wu Baoan frowned suddenly, and he said, "Ran away?"

Wang Qilin smiled: "Ran away." ”

Wu Baoan immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Change the two Yi marches, find him for me! Wu Wei has violated the law of the country, and he must not be allowed to escape!"

"Wow!" the men burst out, and then one drew a short gun, and the other drew an iron pipe on his back and a short gun on his waist to merge it into a long gun, and they scattered in groups of two, one long and one short, and disappeared into the street in a small line.

Wu Baoan hugged his fists and said: "Adults, please rest assured, the Wu clan has the responsibility to defend the territory, and will never let the lawbreaker escape the law, and the students will definitely arrest him!"

Wang Qilin was surprised.

He thought that Wu Baoan would be proud in front of him after he knew that Wu Wei had escaped.

But no, the other party immediately changed his tone, and changed to this time to listen to the heavenly prison to provide assistance, and he really helped find someone decently.

This made his heart heavy, victory is not arrogant, the Wu family's two hundred years of family fortune is not a simple luck, they really have a set.

The celebration banquet lost its atmosphere, but Wang Qilin ate with relish.

The meals tasted really good.

Seeing that he was not angry, the fish cover hugged the night light, hugged Eight Meow and Ninety-six and let go of his belly and eat.

Good appetite.

She ate deliciously, and she ate a lot of eight meows and ninety-six with her, and her little belly was round, like black and white balls, and together they could be used as Taijitu.

Early the next morning, Wang Qilin led the team back.

Before leaving, he looked at Shen San and said meaningfully, "Lord Shen, you have to take care of yourself." ”

Shen San nodded solemnly.

The three fast horses drove onto the official road, and the riding skills of the fish cover were actually very good, holding the glow in one hand and grasping the reins in the other, taming the horses into obedience.

Wang Qilin looked back, and the fish cover immediately glared at him.

So he pretended to be curious and asked, "Where did you practice riding?" ”

A smug smile appeared on the round face of the fish cover, and said: "We have an equestrian class in Miaoyin Pavilion, every disciple has to test equestrianism, the master said that this is to deal with the troubled times, if there is a foreign invasion, our Miaoyin Pavilion can form a cavalry to go to the battlefield to fight foreign enemies!"

Wang Qilin was skeptical.

It is more reliable for these delicate women to go to the battlefield than to go to the barracks and work in the army.

He couldn't help but look at the chest of the fish cover, it was not that he was lustful, but it was reasonable to say, going to the battlefield to face foreigners with this figure, didn't this give the foreigners the motivation to invade the Central Plains?

The fish cover was very sensitive, she immediately picked up the night light and blocked it on her chest, and then quietly changed the subject: "Seventh Master, why are there so many people from the Wu clan around Lord Shen?"

Wang Qilin snorted coldly: "Heh, it's normal, it's hard to say whether Lord Shen is a member of the Wu clan or not." ”

Yu Hood's eyes widened in surprise and said, "How is it possible? If he is a member of the Wu Clan, why should he concentrate on dealing with Wu Weilai?"

Wang Qilin said: "You stupid, first, even people in one camp have infighting and factional strife; second, Wu Wei may have done these things secretly behind the Wu clan's back, and the Wu clan didn't know much about it, so he sent Shen San to check him." ”

The fish cover nodded suddenly, with admiration on his face: "The seventh master is so powerful, I feel that everything is under your control." Now it seems that these messy cases in Dading Village may have nothing to do with the Wu family, and it should be Wu Weilai who operated it himself, right?"

Wang Qilin said casually: "Yes......"

Then he fell silent and glared at the fishmantle.

He just joked that the big-breasted girl was stupid, and as a result, people were talking!

After receiving the reply, Yu Hood suddenly became excited: "Wu Weilai is the murderer who killed my sister! Then why haven't you told me?"

As soon as she was excited, her tears were about to fall again.

Wang Qilin said vaguely: "I don't know the specific circumstances of the case, don't worry, he can't escape, I will definitely bring him to justice!"

The fish cover covered the stirrups and wiped his tears, but he still sat firmly on the horse.

Riding is good!

When they returned to the post house, Ma Ming immediately clenched his fists and wanted to speak, Xu Da gave him a look and said, "The seventh master looks tired, go and rest first, is it okay to go to Yuning County this time?"

Wang Qilin threw the blood-red death jade wrench finger to him and said, "It's not going well, I'll rest and talk to you in detail." You put this thing away, it's very important, you must protect me!"

Xu Da was surprised: "Is this a dead jade wrench?"

Wang Qilin said: "Yes, and there should be a very powerful ghost inside, don't mess with it, wait for the Taoist to come back and study this thing." You protect it first, it's a very important piece of physical evidence. ”

Wang Lushi was very distressed when he saw his son's dusty appearance, and hurriedly went to boil water to let him take a bath to relieve his fatigue.

As a result, as soon as he took a bath, the two catchers hurriedly entered the post house and asked, "Maidservant, may I ask Lord Wang where he is?"

The fish cover who was coaxing the child pointed weakly to the bedroom, she was too lazy to introduce herself now.

The official's bedroom could not be easily broken into, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Maidservant, please go and invite Lord Wang out, the little one has something important to report." ”

The fish cover went to the door, and Eight Meow and Nine Six blocked the door decently, like two door gods.

Seven-inch Dingmen God.

Seeing the fish cover forward, Eight Meow stood up and raised his little hands.

True Bully Standing.

The fish cover glared at it and said, "You and I would like to go in and find your father, and say that someone is looking for him!"

Eight Meow entered the door for a while, and Wang Qilin asked curiously, "You want to rub my back?"

Eight Meow continued to gesture.

Wang Qilin suddenly grabbed it and stuffed it into the bath: "You also want to wash it together?"

Eight Meow exploded in the water, and the little tail was thrown out with a lead ball......

In ancient times, Sima Guang smashed the tank, and now there is a cat smashing the bathtub!

With the same effect, Wang Qilin had no choice but to run out around the towel.

The identities of the two leaders who arrived were not ordinary, his name was Wu Xingde, and he was the head of the Fucheng Arrest Squad for Criminals, and he was also an official.

Wu Xingde was a little surprised by Wang Qilin's age after seeing him, but he still gave a proper salute, and said: "Lord Wang, many people have died in the city in the past three days, and after the family reported the case, the officials and colleagues checked them one by one, thinking that their deaths were strange, and they were afraid that they were related to ghosts and gods, so I learned that you were back, and I hurried to report to you." ”

Wang Qilin sighed, so busy.

But that's how the official was, he pinched his leg and got up and asked, "Where did these people die?

If it's all from Tianshu Town, then his sin will be great, he had ordered Shen Yi to bring the spirit to the table to lure the ghosts, in case it is the demons that are brought out, then these victims are his pots.

But he had been following Shen Yi that night, the purpose was to prevent the evil ghosts from causing chaos, and Shen Yi walked all the way, without attracting any ghosts at all.

Then he thought of the ghost who was going to kill the older man that night, this ghost was very powerful, but it was not drawn from the offering table, and it had nothing to do with him.

Wu Xingde did not doubt him, and said: "No, it is distributed in seven towns, and there are many people in each town. Oh no, it's spread across six towns, and it just so happens that no one was killed in Tianshu Town. ”

Now it's weird.

Wang Qilin said: "Take me to see, and report carefully on the way." ”

Wu Xingde clasped his fists and saluted.

It's getting late, the sun is setting, and another autumn night is coming.

The moon hanging over the night sky was very bright, and it was almost September 15.

Walking briskly on the road, Wu Xingde told Wang Qilin about the situation that had been determined, there were a total of eighteen deceased, and these eighteen deceased were men and women, with random identities, rich businessmen and beggars, but all of them were drowned.

"Some of them died under the bed, some died in the streets, some died in the yard, in short, no one died next to the water, do you say weird, sir?"

"Drowned?" Wang Qilin immediately thought of the night when Shen Yi led the ghost, so he said: "Not long ago, I encountered a water-related evil spirit, which was about to kill a watchman, and the watchman's surname was Gu ......."

"Gu Da Ear?" Wu Xingde immediately asked.

Wang Qilin nodded.

He told what he had experienced that night, and Wu Xingde's attendant said excitedly: "Lord Wang is amazing!

Wang Qilin said: "No, it was a few days ago that I killed that ghost, and the dead in these six towns appear every night, obviously the ghost who kills people is not the same thing as the ghost I killed, but there should be a connection between them." ”

Wu Xingde nodded and said: "Yes, what Lord Wang said is very true, I guess these ghosts are like a line, there is one in a town, and Tianshu Town was killed by Lord Wang at the beginning of the crime, so no one has been harmed in the past three days, and the sneakiness of the other six towns still exists, and they will kill one person every night." ”

"Is there a pattern to when they harm people?"

"There is no clear pattern, it is all after the child hour, and the latest person killed died in the early morning. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Can they be sure of the hour of death?"

Wu Xingde said: "Yes, there is especially a person named Ma Dayao, this person is a scone seller, and their husband and wife get up before dawn every day to make scones, and then let Ma Dayao carry the burden to the streets and alleys to sell." Today, the husband and wife made scones as usual, when the first pot of cakes came out, Ma Dayao went to pack the burden, his wife called him and did not respond, she went out to see Ma Dayao stuck in the basket and died. ”

The basket was a bamboo basket, without a drop of water, but Ma Dayao's clothes were soaked, and his stomach was swollen, and anyone could see that he was drowned. ”

Wang Qilin said in a deep voice: "That's not good!"

He first went to Ma Dayao's house to carefully inspect the corpse, the corpse had just died, and his stomach was bulging, but his whole body was not very swollen.

This indicates that the person was dragged into the water and drowned, and then pushed out again.

Ma Dayao had mud in his nails, very foul-smelling mud, his face was hideous, and his muscles were spasmed and deformed, which showed that he had struggled underwater before dying.

Besides, there is no more information to see, he is not a professional after all.

After seeing Ma Dayao's situation, he went to another person's house for a quick turn, and these families were full of yin qi.

Eighteen families were in pain, and his heart was very blocked after seeing it.

After visiting each house, he would leave a mirage talisman for the master's house, which was the only thing he could do to comfort the family of the deceased now.

After the last transfer, Wu Xingde silently handed him a cup of tea.

Wang Qilin waved his hand to refuse his kindness, and said in a deep voice: "This is not a demon! It is someone who wantonly kills people, and they take pleasure in killing people!"

There was mud in the fingernails of each deceased, every muscle spasm, and everyone's expression was extremely hideous, which shows that they were extremely frightened and desperate before they died.

So they didn't just drown, because at least ten out of eighteen people could swim, and those who could swim wouldn't be so frightened before they died.

They were tortured and killed.

Wang Qilin could imagine that when Ma Dayao was dragged into the water and struggled in a panic, one or several people gathered around him and watched him struggle in pain with relish......

When demons kill people, they will be involved in cause and effect.

Sneaky and harmful people are even more related to obsession.

There is no relationship between these eighteen people, then the other party is killing people indiscriminately.

And it's torture!

This shouldn't be the hands of the demons and monsters, and if the demons and monsters make a move, they will not deliberately control it, and only kill one person in a town at night.

They don't have such clear minds.

Wu Xingde looked at his gloomy face, and asked cautiously, "Lord Wang, what do you see?"

Wang Qilin said in a deep voice: "Now I have some guesses, but it is not of much help to find the murderer. Please go and order the people of the city to be careful first, the murderer will definitely do it again tonight, and my brothers and I will patrol the city without sleep and do our best to arrest them!"

Wu Xingde was silent for a moment, clasped his fists and said: "The lower officials will go to meet the Lord Governor, there will be a curfew tonight, and the whole city will be under martial law." ”

The two separated, Wang Qilin frowned and returned to the post house, a bell rang, and a little girl in a yellow and green skirt floated out of the door of the fifth taste, and waved to him happily: "Hey, seventh brother, you are finally back!"

Wang Qilin looked back in amazement and asked, "Wu Wu, why are you here?"

Wu Wu grinned and said, "I've been here for two days, my uncle asked me to come, and my uncle said you need subordinates, let me help you." ”

She hurriedly added, "The last time I helped you was when I was in Kamezue-eup, but you also helped me, and we worked well together, so my uncle asked us to work together again." ”

This is the help that Zhao Lin found for him.

Wu Wu was always so cheerful, he jumped up to him and said, "Hey, Seventh Brother, why are you always frowning? ”

Wang Qilin smiled bitterly: "I'm just that you don't frown because of you. ”

Ma Ming answered and asked, "Seventh Master, what's the situation? The case in the city is very troublesome?"

Wang Qilin nodded heavily, he told the facts of the case and asked, "Master Ma, do you have any opinions?"

Ma Ming thought about it hesitantly and said: "Ghosts will not kill people indiscriminately like this, this is to cause trouble for themselves, and it will only provoke people with cultivation to deal with them, although they are unconscious, they have instincts, they do things according to instincts, follow obsessions, and will not mess around." ”

Wang Qilin said: "Yes, this thing was done by people, and they came to us." ”

He gave Ma Ming an analysis, "We just came to Pingyang Fucheng and went to the township, three days ago it was the second time we returned to Fucheng, and it was the first time we officially entered Fucheng, and then there was such a big case, is it a coincidence?"

"Well, if it's a coincidence. But is it also a coincidence that the time when the water ghosts appeared in the Seven Towns happened to be the day when Xie Daochang left the Fucheng overnight?"

He shook his head and said, "Some people have come at me, and these people have died in vain because of me. ”

Ma Ming looked at Xu Da, and Xu Da pinched his teeth.

Wang Qilin suddenly understood that they had something to hide from him, so he slapped the table and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Da said helplessly: "His grandmother is a dried radish, we have provoked a lot of people now, and someone sent a letter yesterday, saying that Uncle Jin was arrested by them and was in their hands." ”

Wang Qilin was stunned: "Uncle Jin, how could Uncle Jin be arrested?"

Xu Da took out a letter and showed it to him, and said with a wry smile: "I don't know, but the other party asked you to prepare your mother's Gu and use this Gu worm to exchange for Uncle Jin." ”

Wang Qilin immediately reacted: "Is it the hand of the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

Xu Da nodded heavily.

Wu Wu raised his head and raised his white jade chin, constantly turning around him, his colorful clothes swaying, like a little peacock.

At this time, Wang Qilin already understood the meaning of her sentence just now, 'I am here to make meritorious contributions', and asked: "The sub-Gu worm in the mother's Gu was released by you, can you find it?"

The witch nodded proudly.

Wang Qilin clapped his hands and said, "Okay, go find it overnight and leave immediately!"

Wu Wu was shocked: "Seventh brother, are you so anxious? I see that you are so busy, Uncle Ma also said that you are so busy, you have not rested for a day, and you have been investigating the case, are you so tired?"

Wang Qilin smiled bitterly: "Men are just tired. ”

Wu Wu rejoiced: "It's good that I'm a woman." ”

Xu Da kindly helped to correct: "You are a girl, not a woman yet." ”

Wu Wu grinned and said, "Ah, don't bully me, you're laughing at me for being skinny, aren't you?"

Xu Da laughed, ready to make a fuss.

Wang Qilin patted the table angrily and said, "Don't interrupt me, we must go overnight to find the remnants of the previous dynasty, otherwise there will be dead people in the city tonight." ”

Xu Da asked, "Could it be that the case in the city was done by the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

Wang Qilin said cautiously: "Yes, and if I expected it to be good, it was a star that made the shot!"
