Chapter 066: Divine Dog or Demon Dog
Early in the morning, in the bedroom of the county order.
After Bai Xianling took care of his wife and took medicine, he asked the little maid to take good care of his wife, and then got up and went to the court, and when he left, he pecked lightly on his wife's forehead, and he seemed to sense the corner of his wife's mouth tugging slightly.
Bai Xianling turned around and walked out of the bedroom, and said to the old mother outside the door, "Mom, let's hire a sedan chair and take my wife to my uncle's house." When he said this, he turned his back to the old mother, and he never turned his face, and he was about to stride away after speaking.
This old mother grew up watching Bai Jingting, this child has grown up since he was a child, and the still water is deep, he must have something like this, the original family master's business, the servant didn't dare to ask, but the mother relied on her age, so she asked with courage, "Master, what's wrong?" If you tell me something earlier, I can also go to my uncle to ask for an idea earlier." "My uncle is a businessman, and he can't do academics, but he has a lot of ideas for doing things, and he always cares about the affairs of his sister's family.
"Mom, don't panic...... Don't worry, I'm just afraid that my wife will be silent in bed for a long time, and she will not be good for her body, so I want to go to my uncle's house to breathe. After Bai Xian Ling said this, he strode towards the gate, and his figure soon disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.
Walked out of the courtyard of the house, stepped through a small door, and entered the public court. Bypassed the screen, raised his feet and walked up to a platform, and sat down in front of the public desk.
Master Lin was already sitting on the left hand side of the old man's case, the head catcher Lu was standing on the right hand side of the public case with a knife at his waist, and the two classes of officials were also standing on both sides of the court.
Bai Jingting raised his eyes and glanced at Master Lin and Boss Lu respectively, and both of them nodded at him, indicating that everything was ready. Bai Jingting picked up the mountain-shaped shocking wood on the public case and slapped it hard.
The two classes of officials will be mighty sticks on the ground knock sound, the mouth of the long chant "might~wu~", lasted for five or six breaths, majestic and majestic, with a strong deterrent effect.
After a while, two officials walked in with a tall and thin man in black, although he had already learned in detail about the vicious murder case to be interrogated in the morning, which was very likely to be the case involved in the black-clothed immortal cultivator last night, but when he saw the face of the man in black, his heartbeat still skipped a beat in shock.
This black-clothed man was the black-clothed immortal cultivator last night, with a long face and a goatee, and his features were too obvious, he wouldn't admit it.
Fortunately, the man in black also cooperated, and did not be tough, but knelt down obediently.
Immediately behind, two officials carried a single shelf, covered with a white cloth, without lifting the cloth, Bai Jingting could also know that it was a dead person, and that he had been dead for at least more than twenty hours, and there was already a faint smell of rancidity.
Immediately following the deceased, the official brought two people, one was a white and fat middle-aged man, and the other was a young girl dressed as a gentleman. The two also knelt down beside the black-clothed immortal cultivator.
Bai Jingting saw that the sufferer, the suspect, and the witness had all been brought here, so he patted the shocked wood and asked loudly, "Who is kneeling?"
The three of them replied in unison, but their voices were mixed and they couldn't see clearly.
Boss Lu walked up to Cai Lan and pointed at him and said, "You say it first!"
When Bai Jingting saw Boss Lu's grinning appearance, his heart tightened, for fear that the man in black would suddenly have magical powers. Fortunately, the man in black didn't, but replied honestly: "Student Cai Lan, Mr. Berauyi Academy!"
The voice was that of a hoarse man, and his demeanor was completely man's, completely different from the seductive tone of the previous night. But admitting mistakes is impossible, so thrilling, how can you admit mistakes.
The next ones to report were Yue Jinlin and Linxi Mansion.
Then it was the master who stated the case.
Master's statement can be described as concise and to the point. It was a certain day of a certain month, received a report, and then Boss Lu took the pestle and four arresters to the scene, saw the deceased lying on the ground, Linxi Mansion held the head of the deceased, as if to wake up the deceased, next to Cai Lan, Yue Jinlin, and the deceased's son Long Chinese New Year's Eve, and a group of schoolchildren, the deceased held a note in his hand, with the word Linxi written on it, and found a dagger under Cai Lan's bed, suspected murder weapon. The son of the deceased, Long Chinese New Year's Eve, flew away on a jade boat at that time, and I heard that he had just been accepted as a disciple by Zhu Fu Sect a few days ago.
No matter what kind of magical powers Cai Lan has, no matter how much he persecuted Bai Jingting to make Lin Xifu the murderer, and he, Bai Jingting, as a county parent official, must make the whole case seem to be a normal trial, and he must complete all the processes normally.
Bai Jingting took a tray handed over by his master, and there was a bloody dagger in the tray. "Cai Lan, do you know this dagger?" Bai Jingting finished speaking, and ordered someone to present the tray to Cai Lan. After Cai Lan looked at the tray, he shook his head, "Student, I don't know." ”
"If you don't know, why are you under your bed?" said Bai Jingting, who slapped the shocked wood fiercely, "Don't recruit it from the truth!"
The officials on both sides shouted again, "might~martial~". For ordinary mortals, this voice can be scared half to death, and then forced by the official authority, one by one, they will honestly confess, which is the role of this set of trial links.
Cai Lan's face did not change much, he still looked down, his face numb. After the officials finished shouting, he spoke up and said, "The student has no power to restrain the chicken, and he doesn't even dare to kill the chicken, how dare he ever kill someone, as for why this dagger is under the student's bed, the student really doesn't know, she must have framed me." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the Linxi Mansion beside him.
Cai Lan slapped the stunned wood and shouted angrily, "You said that Linxi Mansion harmed you, what evidence is there?" His face was majestic, but his heart was tight.
"Because, because" Cai Lan paused at this point, obviously thinking, "because there is no breath of mine on it, but there is her breath." ”
"Breath? It's nonsense, how can breath be called evidence?" Bai Jingting slapped the shocking wood loudly, and he didn't know what kind of calculation this demon had in his heart.
"Master, the student heard that there is a divine dog in the ya, and he is used to knowing people's breath, so let it try it. Cai Lan breathed steadily, and what he said was reasonable.
In folk legends, there is a sacred dog in the yamen, the legend is that a certain immortal master traveled here, and the county order talked very happily and gave the dog to the white county order, this divine dog can identify a person's weak breath left on the things used, and can go to the yin, take the adult into the underworld. However, adults rarely use it, and it is said that although it is good to use, it is very expensive, so it is rarely used.
Only Bai Jingting himself knows whether it is a divine dog or a demon dog. Although it helped him clear up a lot of cases and made him famous, but the price was extremely expensive, every time he used it, he had to absorb his essence once, and every time he absorbed his essence, he would not be able to recover for a month or two, not to mention the damage to his body, just every time he thought about that picture, his body would tremble once.
What's more, he had to worry about being discovered by his wife in the process of extracting his essence, otherwise he really didn't know how to get along with her, let alone imagine how disgusted she would be when she looked at him?
Bai Jingting reprimanded Cai Lan, "Do you really dare to use it?" This is obviously hinting at Cai Lan, do you really dare to use it with confidence? If there is your breath on it, my divine dog cannot be faked.
Cai Lan patted his chest and said, "The student is upright, why don't you dare?"
Bai Jingting pondered for a moment, and finally made a decision and ordered someone to take out the divine dog from the backyard.
Xifu was shocked when he heard Cai Lan say that the dagger had his own breath, he was so sure that there was his own breath on it, he must have already done something on it, how could this be good? But in broad daylight, she didn't dare to ask the demon lord, and the demon lord couldn't pass on the sound to her, so she could only be in a hurry.
The divine dog led the hall, the waist of an adult man, covered in black, without a single variegated color, with his head raised and his chest straight, looking like a divine horse.
Bai Jingting walked up to the divine dog, patted the divine dog's head, then closed his eyes and communicated silently with the divine dog in his heart. "Divine dog, divine dog, help me smell the breath of someone on the dagger, I will thank you with Jingyuan!"
The divine dog squinted at him, his eyes were so indifferent that Bai Jingting's whole body was cold, since he realized that "the name of the blue sky is also a false name" a year ago, he had not brought it out, that is to say, it had not received his essence for a year, presumably this beast had hatred for him in his heart.
Fortunately, after two or three breaths, the beast still nodded.
Bai Jingting's heart didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but his face still had to maintain the majesty of a county magistrate, and after taking a deep breath, he forced himself to calm down and handed the tray to the nose of the divine dog.
The divine dog sniffed and sniffed on the dagger, and the tip of his tongue lightly touched the bloodstains, and then closed his eyes and did not move for a long time, like a drunkard, recalling the taste of famous wine in his mind. It was a long time before he opened his eyes and looked at the man kneeling in the courtroom.
That gaze fell on Xifu, making Xifu feel as if a cold wind was blowing through his body, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill all over his body.
When that gaze swept over Yue Jinlin, Xifu saw that he also trembled.
When his eyes swept on Cai Lan, Cai Lan's expression was as light as usual, and there was no change.
There must be a ghost on this Cai Lan, if he is really just a mortal, how can he be so calm when he is locked by that divine dog, Xifu is more or less an immortal cultivator, and he has some real power on his body, enough to resist the scanning of some divine sense, but he still feels that his body is swept by the cold wind, how can he Cai Lan seem to be unconscious?
The divine dog walked towards the three of them with slow and arrogant steps, first passing by Xifu's side, stopping in front of her for a moment, closing his eyes and sniffing three times. In an instant, Xifu felt as if there was a huge suction force in its nose, and even the hair at the corners of its clothes, which should be soft, floated in the direction of the nostrils, until the divine dog stopped sucking, and they could not hang down.
