"Let me hear what they have done, and I will punish them later. Ying Wuxin walked over with a smile.

Sun Xiaoman, Bai Miaozhen, and Li Zhengdao all looked at each other strangely, "If you are outside here, they will admit to the crime they have committed?"

Wang Banxian smiled, raised his hand and said: "I know, I know, when bandits celebrate drinking, they like to brag about the bad things they have done, such as how many people they have killed, how much money they have robbed, etc., in order to establish their prestige, and the bandit leader is even more so, he has always been talking about how many people he has killed, in order to deter his subordinates, this will be drinking at this hour, and they must be bragging about the bad things they have done." ”

"If you don't think it's good, but think it's evil, these guys should be punished. Sun Xiaoman said with a calm face and a stern tone.

Li Zhengdao also nodded approvingly, "It turns out that the bandits all rely on this to establish their prestige, and it is somewhat similar to the cultivator's use of strength as a deterrent, but unfortunately he took the wrong path after all." ”

Bai Miaozhen's peach blossom eyes were bright, looking at Ying Wuxin's back, she gently pursed her lips and smiled, this smile came naturally and abruptly, so that she woke up to her own consciousness, and she was a little puzzled, why she laughed, but thinking that she was looking at Ying Wuxin's smile, she was quickly relieved and stopped thinking.

Half an hour later, Ying Wuxin turned around and said: "It's almost, the lives of people are basically confirmed, and the rest is directly punished." ”

Li Zhengdao nodded and took the lead and walked in.

The entrance to the cave is not large, and there are yellow abrupt rocks on both sides, which are very rough and have no traces of artificial excavation.

The more you went inside, the wider the passage became, and after a few hundred meters, a huge cave suddenly opened up in front of you, and a fire burning in the middle was almost extinguished, and in the bright light, there were some wooden tables and stone benches around it.

Dozens of men in tattered linen clothes were shouting at each other's wine bowls, shouting loudly, the table and the ground were in a mess, and the whole cave was full of alcohol, mixed with the smell of urine.

The five of them wrinkled their noses, but walked in anyway.

On a stone platform opposite, there was a mahogany table with gold and silver plates, which were piled with large pieces of fatty meat, roast chicken, and pig's head.

A strong man with a full beard was sitting there gulping down wine, nibbling on a roast leg of lamb, eating with a mouth full of oil, and his beard was dripping with oil.

When the five people walked in, several robbers in the cave were already drunk and didn't realize anything, and when the five people walked up to the high platform, the strong man saw it, and then realized that a stranger was coming.

"Who are you who dare to break into Lao Tzu's place, hey, these two little beauties are good, stay and play with the uncle, right?"

"Call me. ”

Li Zhengdao waved at the entrance of the cave, and a moment later, a silver lightning flew in, like a silver flying snake, and suddenly struck the bearded man's body.

Bang –

With a muffled sound, the strong man's body exploded directly, scattered, not even a drop of blood was left, and all the violent lightning power was triggered by Li Zhengdao, so that the bandit leader was completely blown up.

"Ahh

The bandits, who were drinking below, and most of them were already drunk, screamed, and most of the drunkenness dissipated, and they let out an exclamation at the entrance of the cave, and rushed over.

"If you want to run, how easy is it?" Ying Wuxin chuckled.

Several men who were running suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, clutching their necks, struggling in pain, such a strange scene, the bandits behind the frightened no longer dared to run, and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

"Dao Ye spares his life, Dao Ye spares his life, we really didn't kill anyone, no- no-"

"If you kill, you will be like them. Ying Wuxin coldly pointed to a few people on the ground who were struggling in pain, their faces were already suffocating, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they looked like they were about to suffocate to death, but there was nothing to pinch their necks, such a strange scene, in the eyes of the remaining bandits, was very terrifying, it was like seeing a ghost.

After a few moments, several bandits rolled their eyes, their legs stopped moving, and they died.

Walking to the high platform, Ying Wuxin sat down, glanced at the bandits below, and said: "When I ask, you answer honestly, otherwise those who died just now will be your fate." ”

"We must know everything, Dao Ye, may I ask?

Seeing that there was hope of survival, the remaining dozen bandits were unexpectedly surprised, and they kowtowed again and again.

"What's going on with you kidnapping Jia Yinxiang, the second son of the Jia family?"

"Who is Jia Yinxiang?"

Ying Wuxin's face sank, "The young man you kidnapped a few days ago. ”

"He, he always wanders around us, the boss thought he was a spy, so he sent us to tie him up, who knew that he brought the ransom himself, our boss was very disciplined, and after a few days, he was released. A young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks said.

"I brought the ransom myself, you won't swallow it and continue to ask his family?"

"He didn't put it on his body, but hid nearby, and besides, we didn't step on it, we didn't know his identity at all, and he didn't say it, we didn't know who to ask for ransom, and the boss had to let him go in the end, anyway, he made a lot of money for nothing. ”

"Abolish one of your legs, it is considered a punishment, and if you become a bandit in the future, you will kill it, get out!" Ying Wuxin waved his hand, and a stream of air rushed down from above, pressing one shoulder of the bandit kneeling on the ground, and his body fell to the ground, and then the air flow bombarded their legs, breaking one of their legs.

"Ahh

The bandits screamed for a while, but in the face of such a strange and powerful cultivator, they didn't dare to complain in the slightest, and even screamed miserably, and soon they held back, and a group of people fled in a hurry.

Ying Wuxin clapped his hands and said, "It's done." ”

"It's confirmed, now it seems that Jia Yinxiang threw himself into the trap and entered the bandits' den in order to delay time. Li Zhengdao said solemnly.

"Then how did he kill his eldest brother Jia Jinrui?" asked Wang Banxian.

Sun Xiaoman thought for a while and said: "Although Jia Jinrui has been frail and sickly since he was a child, it is still difficult to exhaust himself to death with hard work, after all, he is also young, only thirty years old, his body is very resilient, his family has money, and he does not have to worry about food and drink. ”

Ying Wuxin said: "In fact, his father is dead, and he only has one job to do." ”

"What kind of work?" asked a few people curiously.

Wang Banxian wanted to speak and stopped, obviously knowing, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Return the gift. ”

"Returning the gift? This job shouldn't be tiring. Sun Xiaoman said, she knows this.

Ying Wuxin said: "There is a folk proverb, as soon as the filial son enters the door, kowtow and scare people to death, that is to say, the white thing is reciprocated, in fact, the intensity is still very large, to kneel all day, someone comes to worship, you have to kowtow and return the salute." Although the Jia family is not a big family, it is also quite solid, and there are all kinds of business contacts, so there must be a lot of worshippers. ”

Wang Banxian nodded and said: "Yes, this is the case in our hometown, but generally several sons in the family go together, not so much, so invite fewer people, otherwise you will kneel for a long time, kowtow more, and young people can't bear it, and there will be no way to hold a funeral later." ”

Sun Xiaoman said: "If you kneel and bow for a long time, it will be a great loss to the strong people, and even more so for the weak people, if you kowtow more, Jia Jinrui may really be exhausted to death like this." ”

Li Zhengdao frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "So, with such a simple first plan, Jia Yinxiang killed his eldest brother Jia Jinrui." ”

Bai Miaozhen also had a little surprise on his goose egg face, if you look at it this way, although this strategy is simple, it is extremely clever and impeccable.

Ying Wuxin said, "It may not be simple, didn't the half-immortal say it? The filial son can't resist, so he won't invite so many people to come in and worship, just look outside, and don't need to go into the courtyard at all, so the filial son doesn't have to return the salute at all, just simply kneel, and return a few kowtow etiquettes, Jia Jinrui will definitely not die." He himself was weak, he must have known it, and he would definitely make relevant arrangements, but the final result was that he died. ”

The other four people glanced at each other and immediately understood, this Jia Yinxiang delayed time, he didn't go back, replacing the boss is the first step, and the second step will inevitably find a way to let many people go to worship, so that Jia Jinrui can't stop it, out of the rules and respect for the visitors and the father, Jia Jinrui must insist on kowtowing even if he can't do it again.

He was weak himself, he knelt on the ground for a long time, and he had to kowtow so many salutes, what the final result would be, Jia Yinxiang probably had already thought about it.

Sun Xiaoman said: "If this is the case, if you want to find evidence, it is very simple, go back and check the situation of the people who are mourning and worship, and you will know that someone must be bought by Jia Yinxiang." ”

Everyone nodded, this matter is really not complicated, people with a little brain can figure it out, the key is to understand the folk custom of kowtowing and returning the salute.

Ying Wuxin said: "That pair of mother and son are not stupid, after we left, most of them also began to take action, if we ask directly, there may not be any results, after all, now Jia Yinxiang is the head of the family, whether it is the people in the house or the people who come to worship, they will not want to offend." ”

The other four people were a little troubled, they were Taoist heroes, not robbers, so naturally they couldn't use the means of coercing confessions, if the other party was unwilling to say it, even if they cast illusions, it would not be of much effect.

Ying Wuxin looked at the entrance of the cave, smiled lightly, and said, "You also heard our words, there is a problem now, and I need your cooperation, how about it, Jia Jinrui?"

Everyone was stunned and looked towards the entrance of the cave.

Traces of black demonic energy poured out from the dark shadows, gathered into a ball, and floated a foot above the ground, revealing a ghost in the shape of a man about thirty years old, with a trace of blood red in his eyes.

"Good. ”

"Aren't you afraid that we will destroy you immediately and exchange you for a bounty?" Sun Xiaoman asked.

"You can come here to find the truth, it shows that you are real Taoists, only for morality in your heart, not for money, I naturally trust you. Jia Jinrui said lightly.

"Okay, in that case, let's join forces with humans and demons once. Ying Wuxin smiled.

Li Zhengdao and several people looked at it, and also nodded lightly in agreement.
