Chapter 65: Suspicion
Bo Ziyu hated these "demon hunters" out of the oil.
I didn't kill a few monsters, but I added a lot of chaos.
Especially Wang Liuzhi's gang, they are all scoundrels.
Last night, there was an infighting, beating people to death, and dividing up the dead people one by one, and each of them was brought to the yamen, saying that it was a monster and wanted to receive a reward!
Lead your mom to a spicy spicy shit!
The last time I made an oolong, I caught a thief, and I barely had any fault. But this time, it was a real wrongful killing of innocents, and it was Wang Liuzhi, a servant, who was killed by the county magistrate who set up the "demon killing hero" himself.
These bastards, one of them counts as one, and if they can't be beheaded after the autumn, they have to be stabbed and filled with troops.
didn't think that after exposing the oolong, they dared to arrest without restraint, but took advantage of the emptiness of the yamen guard, injured the messenger on duty, and beat the government office.
Bo Ziyu rotated for a day and two nights, and finally had time to squint for a while, just because of this, he had to catch them back to the yamen one by one with a pair of rabbit eyes.
"Say, where are you hiding with your two accomplices?"
Bo Ziyu kicked the prisoner with one kick, and the guy shrank into the corner with his head in his hands, and the colorful tiger on his belly curled up into a sick cat, tears mixed with nosebleeds:
"The poor master spares his life, I didn't mean to kill him, it's all a misunderstanding. ”
Bo Ziyu's eyebrows were upside down.
Naigong didn't close his eyes for two nights, is it a misunderstanding to break with you and kill people?
He picked up the whip, but suddenly a servant came and muttered something in his ear.
Huh?
With a puzzled look on his face, he handed the whip to the jail next to him, and said, "Give him something to eat." ”
Walked away quickly.
......
The rain that fell last night has not stopped to this day.
In the courtyard of the government office, there was the sound of "whooshing" rain.
Bo Ziyu's aunt, that is, Xing Zhutou's wife, was under the porch, and she seemed a little crazy listening to the sound of the rain.
She looked embarrassed, obviously she had an umbrella in her hand, and the wind and rain outside were not big, but she was drenched most of her clothes.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he followed his uncle Xing Zhutou to fight in the yamen.
The two have no children under their knees, so they regard him as their own, and he also regards the old couple as parents, who will be supported in the future.
"Uncle, why are you here? If you have something to do, why do you have to come here in the rain? But what happened at home?"
Bo Ziyu hurried out, his tone half worried and half complaining.
The aunt opened her mouth, as if to say something, but in the end, she just shook her head.
"No ......"
At the end, he explained.
"I just wanted to see you. ”
These words made Bo Ziyu feel very guilty, he was busy with official business these days, and he hadn't visited the second elder for a long time.
He hurriedly brought towels, small stoves, and ginger soup, and pulled his aunt to ask for warmth, as if he wanted to pay off the owed greetings at once.
Asked about the degree of use at home, asked if there were demons to bother, asked about the condition of my uncle's injury, my aunt just smiled and nodded, until ......
"Uncle, has his appetite been good lately?"
My aunt's body trembled suddenly.
"Ziyu. ”
But it interrupted Bo Ziyu's words.
"My aunt is here this time to tell you something. ”
The aunt's expression was solemn, and her words were like rain-rusted gears, revealing sluggishness every word.
Bo Ziyu couldn't help but close the switch and sat upright.
"Your uncle, he ......"
Yes!
A sudden scream pierced the rain.
My aunt was so frightened that she shuddered, and the words she was about to say stopped at her lips.
Bo Ziyu didn't care.
"Auntie, don't panic, clean up the cheap bones in the prison......"
He told a rough story about Wang Liuzhi being mistaken for a monster by his companions, and being beaten and dismembered when he resisted, and his aunt's face turned pale and he couldn't believe it, and his voice trembled.
"Just suspicion, how dare you kill someone?"
"It's just a bit of a splash, and I'm red eyed by money, what can't I do?" Bo Ziyu looked at no one around, and grinned, "In the end, it's all thanks to the old men's stupid tricks and splashing silver like water, which makes everyone crazy." If I were infected with the demon plague, I would wipe my neck as soon as possible, so as not to be caught by those red-eyed guys, so that I could end up with a whole corpse. ”
The aunt was stunned for a long time after hearing this, but asked an inexplicable question.
"But before the epidemic, the ladyboy was just an ordinary person, and he had never harmed others, so why should he suffer such a fate?"
"Count him unlucky, the bounty list doesn't care whether it's demonic or not. Bo Ziyu knew that her uncle was kind-hearted, and persuaded her, "Anyway, you have to become a monster and kill it early, so as not to harm yourself and others." ”
"Isn't Daochang Feng of the Water Moon View developing an antidote?" asked my aunt without giving up.
Bo Ziyu shook his head.
"I look at the hanging. ”
Although he has always believed in Li Daochang, he has almost not been so meaningful to Feng Daoren.
"The culprits behind the scenes have been locked up in the mountain, but after so many days, there has been no progress, and I don't think I can change back. Instead of being locked in the mountain, he is being picked up and cramped by Feng Daochang every day......"
Maybe he was too tired, Bo Ziyu didn't notice that the aunt on the other side looked gradually gloomy, and just nagged to herself until she ...... In the rain curtain in front of the court, a servant suddenly broke in, and shouted loudly from afar.
"Team leader, I've found it!"
Found it?
He got up suddenly, just took a step, but he froze, looked back at his uncle, scratched his head, and was a little frizzy.
"Uncle, what did you just say about Uncle?"
The aunt seemed to fall into some kind of trance, and only after listening to the inquiry did she slowly come back to her senses and squeeze out a kind smile.
"Your uncle, I heard that you have been doing a good job recently, so I specially asked me to come over and tell you, don't be arrogant, don't be impatient, and make persistent efforts. ”
Bo Ziyu smiled and patted his chest.
"I will never let my uncle lose face!"
After that, he hurriedly said goodbye, put on his coat and stepped into the rain, leaving his aunt and aunt, and left him alone in the official office, and he stopped talking.
............
Heavy rain mixed the sky and the earth.
Bo Ziyu, who arrived in a hurry, wiped the rain from his face.
In front of him was a remote and dilapidated courtyard at the base of the wall, and the front and back of the courtyard had been tightly surrounded by the officials, and there were even a dozen or so brothers lying on the wall, all of them covered with robes in their hands, all of which were well-wound and ready to go. (Harmony)
He caught the catchers of the outer command.
"What's the situation?"
Here's the quick report:
"Isn't the head of the squad going to interrogate the dung collectors in the city? This family has a money four, and he is one of them. ”
"Let's go to his house to pick up people, but this guy suddenly turned into a monster and injured several brothers, but fortunately, there were many people with him, and he snatched out the injured brothers and blocked the monster in the house. ”
Bo Ziyu nodded, presumably those strong slaves on the wall were later transferred by reinforcements.
"Where's Daochang Li?"
"It's just here. ”
"Where?"
"I went into the house. ”
The voice fell.
There was a "click" in the yard.
The window lattices of the house burst open.
A sackcloth robe rolled out immediately.
People haven't landed yet.
In the window of the black hole, a long shadow chased out, stirring up raindrops and falling like lightning, heading straight for the former.
Although the former was in mid-air and had nowhere to dodge, he didn't panic, he only turned his waist and twisted his body, and the long sword in his hand was pointed out diagonally, not seeing how subtle, and the latter had already sent himself to the sword.
Poof.
The splashes of blood were extinguished by the rain in an instant.
Both fell into the muddy water in the courtyard at the same time, and at this time, everyone could see the appearance of the two.
The former of a Taoist robe, needless to say, is naturally Li Changan, and the latter is a giant python wrapped in black scales and the thickness of a girl's waist, and what is even more terrifying is that the giant python is seven inches forward, and it is not a snake head that is pierced by a sword, but a human head with a cape and a hideous face!
Although he had been mentally prepared, when he saw such a monster with a snake head and body, he still taught the officials at the head of the wall to tremble in their hearts, and they almost couldn't hold the cross bow in their hands.
I finally suppressed my heart palpitations.
Hiss~
The sound of a gruesome person coming from the house, like a poisonous snake coiled around the neck, made people goosebumps.
I saw it.
At some point, behind the broken window, there were five more resentful faces, spitting long snake letters.
The next moment.
The remaining window lattice suddenly burst, and the five snake demons smashed through the rain curtain, their sharp and long fangs biting the fishy wind, and chased after the Taoist priest who was still in the muddy water.
They know how to advance and retreat.
One lagged, and the other four snake demons strangled from four directions, Rao is superb skill, and it was difficult to resist between the lightning and flint.
Fortunately, Daoist Li has never cared about the demeanor of a master, and immediately rolled out with a lazy donkey, so that the heads of the four monsters all gnawed a mouthful of mud, jumped up again, picked up the big mask shield that had been prepared in the courtyard earlier, and just covered his body.
Bang!
In the dull crash, two fangs pierced the shield, and the Taoist priest wrapped his robe around and held the venom sprayed.
Cover your mouth and nose in front of you.
"Put!"
Under the robes of the ambush on the wall, faces that were nervous or excited subconsciously pulled the trigger when they heard the sound.
嘣 ~ 簌簌.
The bowstrings are continuous, and thousands of arrows are fired in unison.
It's like a wind pouring into the rain.
......
The last basilisk fell into the mud under the random arrows.
Li Changan took the shield to open the corpse.
"Alright, the monsters are dead, come in. ”
The officials immediately cheered and poured into the courtyard, taking care of the scene and collecting physical evidence. Li Changan took off his robe and hid under the eaves with Bo Ziyu, one of them grabbed one end of the robe and twisted the muddy water on it.
In the courtyard, a catcher familiar with the area was examining the corpse of the basilish.
He picked up the head of the demon one by one, wiped the muddy water from the basilis's face with his cuffs, and then examined it carefully...... Suddenly exclaimed.
"It's him, Qian Si! He's a monster. ”
The voice was full of infinite joy, not that he had any deep hatred with this Qian Si, but that everyone understood that the fact that "Qian Si was a monster" meant that Li Changan's speculation had one more ironclad evidence; it also meant that as long as he grasped the clue of Qian Si and found out the people who "collected dung" on weekdays, he would be able to find out the hidden monster from it; of course, it also meant that it was not far from solving the case, receiving rewards, and making a fortune.
"Yay!"
Bo Ziyu clapped his hands and laughed, didn't even care about twisting the robe for the Taoist priest, and asked loudly:
"What about the other dung men and night ladies in the city?"
"A few of them couldn't be found, and the others were in the yamen. ”
"It doesn't matter, those who are missing, eighty percent are also monsters, and they will be checked together. ”
The dawn was just around the corner, and Bo Ziyu was overjoyed, eager to fly back to the yamen immediately to interrogate the dung lang and the night fragrant woman.
"Do you want to go to the yamen together?"
Li Changan gently wrung out his robe, shook it open and hung it on the broken window.
"You go first. ”
He stared at the corpse of the basilisk half-soaked in muddy water.
"I still have some things that I haven't figured out. ”
......
The officials had already cleaned up the scene and evacuated, but Li Changan was still lingering in the courtyard.
He looked at the courtyard repeatedly, and finally determined that this courtyard was the house of the two of them who took refuge and hid in Xiao Amei's dream for the second time, and the family was just like in the dream, turning into six monsters with human heads and snake bodies.
Everything is like last night's cat demon, and it is in harmony with the dream.
The first time was a coincidence, but what about the second time?
Li Changan couldn't help but fall into a strong sense of absurdity, and a vague and silent thought in his mind surged again, and the momentum became even stronger, stirring up a trance in his mind.
By the time he had come to his senses, he was already in a small boat and was paddling along the waterway.
He looked around.
The heavy rain pours over the city, and it is difficult to hide the prosperity, peace and delicacy on both sides of the winding waterway.
Purple vines and cyan willows, stone bridges and bluestone alleys shused in mist, pedestrians leisurely sheltering from the rain, and joyful Goolan tiles full of silk and bamboo...... Prosperous and rich, beautiful and pleasant, but there is a strong sense of disobedience inexplicably.
The Taoist priest thought about it carefully, but his mind seemed to be covered with a layer of cloth, and he couldn't think through it.
He looked at the city full of smoke and rain.
What's wrong?
......
The case is progressing well.
As planned, it was quickly interrogated that Tao Si and the other people in charge of the missing dung collectors were gathered into a booklet and handed over to Bo Ziyu.
With this list, the scope of the investigation is greatly narrowed. It can even be said that sweeping away the demon poison is just around the corner!
He couldn't wait to open the booklet and read it line by line.
However.
The pupils constricted suddenly.
His eyes were fixed on the last line of the booklet.
There it is written:
Chengchang Fengfang, Xing House.
