In Yucang County, which is adjacent to the northern part of the former town of Python Mountain, dozens of homicides have occurred one after another in recent times, and even Renqiu, the old county commander who is honest and honest and enforces the law, has been assassinated.

The murderer was rampant, the bold concubine was, and even the Qipin County Commander Ren Qiu appointed by the imperial court was assassinated in the county office.

Tong Qing's doppelganger listened to the joint analysis of Prime Minister He Jitang and the superintendent of the imperial history Wei Huarong, thought about it again and again, and decided to appoint a new county commander of Yucang County with a difference.

Wei Guokang received the holy decree issued by Tong Qing's clone, thanked the lord Long En, added the official uniform, and brought one of his clever house slaves Wei Qishan, the master and servant rode horses, and hurriedly rushed to Yucang County to take up their posts.

Wei Guokang and Wei Qishan arrived safely all the way to Yucang County and immediately announced their appointments.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, Li Shikan, the master of the yamen, sorted out dozens of reports and explanations on the backlog of cases and put them on Wei Guokang's desk, and even the on-site inquest records of the murder of Tongtian Lao County Ling Renqiu, which had angered Long Yan and shook the government and the opposition, were also explained in detail and placed in front of Wei Guokang.

Wei Guokang flipped through the files of these backlog cases, and found that this unattractive master Li Shi looked very carefully, and he analyzed each case, and sorted out these manuscripts, the words were sharp and impeccable, and the head was the truth, and he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

The two began to talk, and at this moment, Li Yifeng, the county arrester, came to report that two more nameless bodies had been found in a large ditch in the west of the city.

Wei Guokang hurriedly stopped the conversation with his master Li Shikan, led the officials to the place where the body was found, and hurriedly sent a servant to go up to investigate, and found that it was exactly the same as the previous dozens of cases, the two deceased, both were beggars without suffering, and they did not find any scars when they checked their bodies, and they died somehow?

Wei Guokang personally came to examine the corpses, and preliminarily judged that the two deceased did not die of cold and starvation, and the other did not die of disease, but let the iron sand palm wind hurt their internal organs and died.

According to common sense, if the deceased has no sufferer, the government can bury the matter on the spot.

However, Wei Guokang believes that the successive deaths of beggars in Yucang County, and their unusual causes of death, are by no means as simple as they seem on the surface.

"Come on, go and visit the people!"

"Yes!"

Li Yifeng took more than a dozen county officials to arrest quickly, and the people searched around, but five days have passed, and there are no clues in the case, and in these five days, several beggars have been killed, although beggars are all cheap, however, life is supreme, the murderer killed so many beggars, and the beggars died one by one, which is by no means an ordinary murder case, behind this, there must be something hidden unknown. Ulterior motives, Wei Guokang is determined to solve the case of the serial murder of beggars, and urgently needs a good helper, so he wrote a letter to the imperial court overnight, asking the emperor - Tong Qing to give an order to allow his friend, the famous head catcher of the criminal department, Kang Ningbo, to come to Yucang County as soon as possible to assist him in solving the appalling series of beggar murders in Yucang County.

After receiving the holy decree, Kang Ningbo quickly whipped his horse and quickly rushed to Yucang County.

The two old friends reunited, couldn't help but be overjoyed, full of wine and food, and Wei Guokang, who was vigorous and resolute, invited Kang Ningbo into his study to discuss the case, in order to let Kang Ningbo know more about the occurrence of the series of murders, he specially called his master Li Shikan to meet Kang Ningbo.

So, Wei Guokang, Kang Ningbo, and Master Li Shikan discussed and discussed secretly in the study of the county order for a long time, and finally decided: leave these dead beggars alone for the time being, and start with the living beggars on the street first. Kang Ningbo believes that all the dead who died, they must have familiar peers before they died, as long as they can find these living people, they can find the gap in the detection of the case, and then catch the murderer.

In the evening, Wei Guokang was waiting for Kang Ningbo alone in the study, and suddenly, he saw an old beggar in ragged clothes quietly touching into the study.

When Wei Guokang saw it, he was taken aback, this is the Yucang County Ya, where did the old beggar come from? How did he get in?

Wei Guokang was just about to call someone, but he saw the old beggar laugh and wipe his hand, revealing his true face.

Kang Ningbo, who had changed his appearance, came back directly from the street and entered Wei Guokang's study.

After Wei Guokang saw that it was Kang Ningbo, in an instant, his face showed joy, he knew that things must have an eyebrow, and hurriedly ordered someone to put the wine and food on the table, and let people come over, and invited the master Li Shi to see, and the three of them chatted while drinking.

After all, he was an old catcher, and in half a day, Kang Ningbo found out the ins and outs of the nameless corpse. It turned out that in the past few days, the night was cold, and there were not many places on the street to escape the cold, and the mountain temple on the mountain in the east of the city became the best place for beggars. A beggar who recognized the nameless corpse told Kang Ningbo that several of the dead were their companions when they stayed at the mountain temple earlier. It seems that the beggar who died in the mountain temple on the top of the mountain was deliberately thrown into the ditch in the west of the city.

It is said that the peers are jealous, and those dead beggars, could it be that the beggars are fighting among the beggars? In order to seize the territory, the other party hired someone to kill the peers. The only way to find out what was going on is to explore the temple at night and find out who it was, killing these innocent beggars.

According to Kang Ningbo's meaning, without further ado, that night, he was going to go up to the mountain temple on the mountain to find out.

However, as soon as he said this idea, he was kindly dissuaded by his master Li Shi: "Kang Zhutou, I have been visiting the people privately for days to collect evidence, and it is hard work, so it is better to rest for a night, and it is not too late to go and investigate tomorrow night." "

The wind is cold, the streets are full of fallen leaves, some shops along the street have closed early, and the people of Yucang County are busy preparing for the arrival of the New Year.

Kang Ningbo, who was full of sour smell and ragged clothes, stood at the back door of the county government to say goodbye to Wei Guokang.

Seeing that the New Year is approaching, seeing his friend's dress, this trip is unpredictable, Wei Guokang's heart is very uncomfortable. He wanted to arrange a few catchers to go with Kang Ningbo, but was dissuaded by Kang Ningbo, saying, there are many people, but it is not good, he believes in his martial arts, and ordinary people are definitely not his opponents.

The mountain in the east of the city, towering into the clouds, the strange rocks are craggy, the height is uneven, there are many wild beasts, the people are inaccessible, the mountain temple that guards this mountain seems to be hidden and exposed in the rocks.

When night fell, to avoid the sound of the wind, Kang Ningbo hid his whereabouts, took a teleportation spell, and quietly entered the mountain temple on the mountain, and found that due to disrepair, the incense was not prosperous, the entire mountain temple had long been ruined, dilapidated, only the main temple that did not collapse, the statue of the mountain god was knocked down, the corner of the wall, there was dust everywhere, and the cobwebs were dense.

Kang Ningbo looked back and forth several times, except for the big pine tree in the middle of the temple, which was like a green cover, there was no life around.

At the foot of the mountain, a few beggars shrunk their heads and walked up the mountain, and Kangning was known to have come to the mountain temple to shelter themselves from the cold and prepare to spend the night.

Raising his eyes and looking at the temple, Kang Ningbo immediately performed light work, and flew up to the main beam of the mountain temple. Here, facing the temple gate, inside and out, you can see clearly, tired, you can also lean against the girder to recuperate, it is really a wonderful place to stay.

The five beggars entered the temple gate, each took out the food he had begged for, and after simply settling down, he found a sheltered corner and rested in peace.

In the middle of the night, a masked man in black suddenly walked into the mountain temple.

Those who practice martial arts are extremely alert. Kang Ningbo found that someone had entered the temple, and quickly took out a money dart from his arms, secretly clasped it in his palm, and quietly observed what the black-clothed masked man wanted to do next?

The black-clothed masked man approached the five beggars, turned around sharply, and his palms burst out, and with a strong palm wind, the five beggars in his sleep were all killed in an instant.

"Good kung fu, but it's a pity not to follow the right path. Kang Ningbo regretted in his heart. He wanted to see what the black-clad masked man should do with the five beggars' corpses next.

Unexpectedly, the black-clothed masked man looked around and said in a deep voice: "Friends on the beam, why don't you come down and go down!"

Kang Ningbo smiled on the beam, and said loudly: "It's a little interesting, your kid's skills, you are ruthless, and you have five lives in one blow, which is indeed good, Kang is naturally going to meet you." As soon as the words fell, the money dart in his hand shot out, and his body immediately fell to the ground.

The black-clad masked man heard the sound and hurriedly dodged, and the money dart grazed his shoulder.

"Friend, it's a secret weapon, it's a bit too inauthentic!" said the masked man in black.

As he spoke, the masked man in the underwear drew a knife in his hand and chopped at Kang Ningbo as quickly as the wind.

Kang Ningbo greeted him with a sword, and his mouth was not idle, "Then it depends on who it is? It is not an exaggeration to deal with a ruthless person like you, who kills innocents indiscriminately, and loses his conscience." "

While speaking, the two of them have gone through more than ten moves.

By the light of the sky outside the door, Kang Ningbo found that the weapon in the other party's hand was not like the Yanling knife commonly used by people in the martial arts, but a bit like the scimitar used by a goblin who had hunted down and seen a scourge in the world in the early years, and he couldn't help but be surprised: What kind of person is this? He must not be let go tonight.

The black-clothed masked man fought with Kang Ningbo, and he was also taken aback in his heart, it is said that people in the public gate are generally mediocre in martial arts, and the person in front of him, the sword in his hand, is like a swimming dragon, flying up and down, impermeable. I secretly thought in my heart: This person is not easy to deal with, and thirty-six plans are the best. As soon as his mind moved, the body of the black-clothed masked man slowly moved towards the temple gate.

In the early years of Kang Ningbo, he once received the guidance of a master, and the famous thirteen snow lotus swordsmanship of the Tianshan Mountains made it superb. At this moment, he saw that the black-clothed masked man wanted to leave, so he changed his sword move, and used the highest trick in the thirteen snow lotus swordsmanship, the dense sword curtain, which instantly covered the black-clothed masked man. Next, the black-clothed masked man saw that he was either captured or killed by the sword.

"Oh, it's not good!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the black masked man raised his hand and threw out a handful of silver needles, and jumped out of the temple gate with a vertical leap.

Kang Ningbo swung his sword, shot down the silver needle, and hurriedly chased him out, where is there still the shadow of the black-clothed masked man!

On the silent mountain, only the big pine tree rustled in the night wind.

"Bastard!" Kang Ningbo ** foul mouthed, stomped his foot fiercely, and took a few vertical leaps, and also gave him a mountain down.

Early in the morning, Kang Ningbo was anxious to see Wei Guokang and told him about the experience of exploring the temple of Mount Tushan and fighting with the masked man in black last night.

The two were talking in the lobby, and they saw that Li Yifeng, who was arrested by the county government, hurried in.

Among the more than a dozen fast catchers in this county, Li Yifeng is known for his meticulousness. By chance, he saw several strange two-way arrows on the corner of the street, and he counted them, and almost every hundred meters, there were one of them. What is puzzling is that the middle of the arrow is not a common straight line, but a curved arc, following these arcs, he found that the road is full of bustling streets and alleys where shops and merchants are concentrated, and then take a closer look at the other side of the arrow, all pointing to the east of the city.

When Kang Ningbo was in the Criminal Department, he had seen a briefing on the enemy's situation, and knew that Hua Guo had been harassed by the demons and monsters sent by the female demon Yu Die'er recently, and he thought of the crescent-shaped scimitar used in the hands of the black-clothed masked man last night, and his heart suddenly became vigilant. Yucang is a large county, adjacent to the original Zhen Python Mountain, and has been harassed by the demon world many times in the past, and later because of Tong Qing's doppelganger revenge and restoration of the country and ascended the throne, the two creation gods of Yahweh and Satan strategized and sent heavenly soldiers and generals many times to help clear it, which gradually calmed down.

Recently, there have been a variety of plagues in a large area around the world, the lives of the people have been devastated, saving mankind, the two creator gods of Yahweh and Satan are running around, busy and busy, the female demon head Yu Dieer seized the opportunity, the demon world is ready to move, in the territory of China, strange things happen one after another, the soul and body of the python are one, and the world is harmed, and I heard rumors among the people, many places, have reported to the court, saying that there are monsters to do evil, mutilating human lives, and it is impossible to prevent it! Years of catching fast career reminded him that the nameless dead who sent out in the ditch in the west of Yucang County were definitely not as simple as the beggars' infighting, and it was very likely that these beggars inadvertently broke into the assembly place where the demons and monsters were planning to harass Huaguo, in order to prevent the news from leaking, the female demon Yu Die'er sent the monsters over, and killed the beggars who knew about it, they killed people in the east of the city, and threw corpses in the west of the city, just to divert the attention of the government's investigation, the New Year is approaching, and the whole county is busy with the New Year, and when you figure out the origin of the nameless corpse, the demons and monsters have already won it, and then they escaped。

An ordinary homicide case, after Kang Ningbo's analysis, was actually involved with the murderous demon world, and Wei Guokang's heart on the side hit several spirits one after another. Yucang County said that it was not big or small, but in addition to more than 10 arresters and more than 20 servants, the officers and soldiers that the county government could mobilize were really limited. Right now, the New Year is approaching, and the people are busy celebrating the New Year, in case the demon world really invades...... Wei Guokang, who is a parent official, really didn't dare to think about it, and in front of his eyes, it seemed that he had seen the miserable scene of broken walls and corpses all over the streets of Yucang County.

"My lord, I complained to the imperial court overnight and asked the emperor to send troops to clean it up!" Li Yifeng reminded Wei Guokang on the side.

"It's too late, it's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days. Even if there is time, a large number of officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court have entered Yucang County, isn't it to make everyone know? You know, the demons and monsters are waiting for an opportunity to move in the dark, but we are being watched in the open, as soon as the officers and soldiers of the imperial court leave, the demons and monsters will make a comeback, how can we guard against it?" Kang Ningbo thought for a while and asked, "Li Zhukuai, when did you find these arrows?"

"Yesterday. "

"Did you see it earlier?"

"Nope. "

"Well, today, there will definitely be new arrows. You go and pick a few shrewd catchers, scatter them on the streets, meet suspicious people, and secretly arrest them and bring them to the county office. As long as we catch this person, we will have a way to deal with it. Oh, by the way, this matter is top secret, and it must not be spread out. "

"Got it!"

"Alright, let's do it!"

"Yes!"

Looking at Li Yifeng, who was leaving in a hurry, Wei Guokang took Kang Ningbo's hands and said in an eager tone: "Brother Kang Xian, this year is the first year of the official's arrival, and whether or not you can spend it safely depends on you." "

"Don't worry, Brother Wei, I have my own arrangements, and the demons and monsters won't be able to enter Yucang County at all. Kang Ningbo comforted Wei Guokang, and at the same time thought about what to do next?

Li Yifeng didn't think long, so he brought back a person from the street.

The person who came had a high throat and a bright voice, shouting all the way that he was a good citizen, why did he arrest him to the county office?

When Kang Ningbo saw that this person was dressed in short clothes, he knew that he was a poor man who had been working on the street all year round, but tomorrow was the New Year, wouldn't this person go home to reunite with his relatives?

Kang Ningbo was just about to open his mouth to ask, when he caught a glimpse of his master Li Shi walking towards this side from a distance, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the person's dumb hole, and ordered Li Yifeng to put this person in prison first, so that he could take care of it, and later, he would interrogate him personally......

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Yunchuan County was brightly lit, and Wei Guokang, the new Zhixian County, frequently persuaded the guests to drink one by one, and in order to do a good job in Yucang County's work next year, he specially held this people-friendly wine banquet.

The guests attending the banquet were all important figures in Yucang County and local celebrities.

After three rounds of drinking, the guests, who were originally a little restrained, gradually became active.

Taking advantage of Wei Guokang's busy side, Master Li Shikan quietly left the table and entered the backyard, he saw that there was no one around, and he took out a few rockets from his arms. Seeing the rocket roaring into the air, and the orange-red fireballs exploded in the night sky one after another, Li Shikan's gloomy face showed a hint of a smile.

However, when Li Shi, who got carried away, saw the smile on his face when he turned around, and suddenly froze. Kang Ningbo, who was pressing the hilt of his sword, was looking at him angrily, and not far away, the county commander Wei Guokang led a group of people to also walk over to this side.

Li Shi, who is usually Svenwen, looked like a wild dog that had gone crazy, and suddenly roared, "Now let me go, it's still too late, Wei Guokang, I think you usually have a good official reputation, and I can spare you from death when the time comes." "

"Shut up! colluding with Mo Risuke to brutalize the people of Huaguo, and still have the face to speak, Li Shi, you scum!" Wei Guokang scolded fiercely.

Kang Ningbo came over and kicked Li Shi to the ground.

At this moment, there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the flames on the mountain in the east of the city soared into the sky, and the shouts of officers and soldiers could be faintly heard......

Yucang County is rich in products, businessmen gathered, for many years, has been a target coveted by the Demon Risuke, in order to take this rich county, the female devil Yu Die'er sent a goblin, alias Li Shikan, as a master, mixed into the county government.

At the beginning of Kang Ningbo's visit to Yucang County, he initially listened to Wei Guokang's introduction to Li Shikan, and later, he wanted to go to the mountain temple at night, and asked his master Li Shikan to seem to be kind to dissuade him, and he had a good impression of this considerate colleague.

However, after Kang Ningbo was attacked in the Mountain Temple, the image that Li Shi saw gradually blurred in his heart.

Exploring the mountain temple at night, there are only three people in the county who know, if there is really an inner ghost, who will it be?

The confession of the man who drew the signpost arrow that Li Yifeng later captured confirmed Kang Ningbo's suspicions. In order to paralyze Li Shi's view and finally lure the snake out of the hole, Kang Ningbo and Wei Guokang secretly discussed and decided to drum up the wind and invite gentry from all walks of life to a banquet in Chinese New Year's Eve. Considering that the imperial court could not save the fire from far away from the water, in order to use the limited armed forces of Yucang County to finally eradicate the demons and monsters that entered Yucang County, Kang Ningbo ordered Li Yifeng to take a dozen arresters from the county government to quietly bury a large number of ** around the mountain temple on the mountain, and the rockets that Li Shi saw the report happened to be the signal to detonate......

The conspiracy was revealed, Li Shi saw the dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the stronghold of the mountain temple has been destroyed, you hurry up and let the python spirit come over!"

"Monster, death is on the verge of death, and you are still pretending to be a ghost, saying, is it you who killed Renqiu in Laozhi County? You brutally killed dozens of beggars, what are you trying to cover up?" Kang Ningbo took strong control of the situation, and ordered Li Shikan, who had become a turtle in the urn, to quickly confess his crimes.

"Hahaha...... , you want to know, do your daydreams go for it!"

"Bold monster, it seems that if you are not punished, you will not confess, come and serve the punishment!"

Suddenly, Li Yifeng stumbled over with more than a dozen county officials, shouting as he ran: "My lord, something is wrong!"
