73 The feast of the heroes and the cooking of the oxen begins

Xie Yixiang sighed secretly, since the son in the house was safe and sound, then his behavior at the moment was obviously due to the demonic disturbance just now, and he was powerless. Thinking that this little Taoist priest has always had a strange temper and likes to play tricks, although Xie Yixiang was very curious about this, he had to give up for a while and went to the Yamen of Ningyi City alone for a banquet. When she stepped out of the house where she had a son living temporarily, she saw the moon in the sky, the sky full of stars, and it was clear that it was late at night.

Along the way, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but sigh secretly, and thought about the trip from beginning to end. In other words, the murderer of the "human kitchen case" handed over to her by Sister Yue was actually a girl with a similar "dwarfism", so she was not born with much growth, and her body shape and appearance always stayed at about six years old, which led to psychological distortion and became a serial murderer who killed and ate people. As for all kinds of unexplained strange phenomena in the process of solving the case, including the bizarre demon fighting method in the City God Temple, I can't figure out whether it is illusion or reality until this moment, let alone think of any reasonable explanation. But no matter what, his chaotic separation has two stage fright in a row, if he doesn't rely on a son, I'm afraid that I can't really deal with this murderer. After that, it was only necessary to bring the girl's body back to Jinling to check the bone age, and this "human kitchen case" that lasted for six years could be regarded as completely solved and successfully concluded.

At the same time, Ningyi City, as a strategic place at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, pursued it all the way, coinciding with the siege of King Heng's rebels, which exhausted the grain and grass in the city, and even had a tragic situation of cannibalism. It was all relied on by the sudden appearance of a son, and also gathered the green forest bandits in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to reinforce together, and even the senior brother Xian Jingyue was in the middle, pretending to be a gray-clothed masked man to hide in the shadows, and then used clever tricks to transport a large amount of grain into the city to solve the urgent need of Ningyi City. Who knew that until the early morning of this day, Yan Sidao, who had infiltrated the Hengwang army under the pseudonym "Escape Void Scatterer", immediately launched a counterattack, imitating the behavior of De Yizi last night, and also using the five-color fireworks as the number, from the east, west, south, south, and middle roads to Ningyi City, and in the end, he actually asked someone to pretend to be Ningyi Tai Shoufang Iron Clothes, open the south gate and go out of the city to surrender.

Due to the lack of soldiers and food in Ningyi City, no matter how great the ability of a son is, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and in the face of the tricks of Yan Sidao, she almost had to put Lord Fang to death, in exchange for a glimmer of life in Ningyi City. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, the imperial court actually sent Yang Fengbo and Yang Lao General to lead 5,000 reinforcements to save Ningyi, which not only defeated the rebels stationed in the north, but also happened to save the lives of the adults below.

Immediately afterwards, he asked General Yang to bring 5,000 reinforcements to launch a surprise attack, and the Hengwang rebels outside the south gate were caught off guard, and took the opportunity to kill Yan Sidao in the opponent's army formation on the spot. Who knew that as soon as the two armies clashed, a strange demonic wind blew between heaven and earth for no reason, forming a trend of flying sand and stones, so that the people and horses on both sides could not see things and ears to hear, so they had to stop their troops and quit their troops. And for this strange demonic wind, De Yizi obviously knows something, but he refuses to say it clearly, just locks himself in the house, and doesn't pay attention to anyone who asks.

Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang had already come all the way to the Yamen of Ningyi City, hurriedly gathered his mind, and stepped inside. Not long after she entered the yamen, she saw a person stumbling out, and then with a "wow" sound, he opened his mouth and vomited in the corner of the wall. Xie Yixiang frowned when she saw it, and was about to take a detour to avoid it, but she saw that this person only had one arm, and it was actually Master Du who was placed here in the pro-military Governor's Mansion next to Master Fang. I remember that this morning, I had cured his madness, causing him to pass out on the spot, and I didn't expect that he was awake at this time.

Master Du vomited out a big pool of filth, and then saw Xie Yixiang not far away, his face was full of embarrassment, and he smiled bitterly: "It turned out to be Miss Xie San, the villain is really rude." Xie Yixiang heard what he said, obviously there was no sign of madness, and he clearly returned to normal, it can be seen that Yizi's Taoist technique is really effective, and he can't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Master Du shook his head, bent over and retched twice, before he gasped and said, "Retribution...... Retribution, these days the city has run out of food, and in desperation, the villain can only follow Lord Fang and eat a lot...... Many...... Alas, that's why as soon as I ate the beef, I felt a fishy smell rushing to my head, and my stomach was like turning over the river and the sea, and I couldn't help but vomit it all. Xie Yixiang suddenly came to her senses, it turned out that this Master Du had eaten too much human flesh, and now when he eats meat again, he immediately feels sick to his stomach, so he keeps vomiting.

You must know that this is not a kind of food that clashes with each other, and after eating human flesh, you can't eat other meat, but this Master Du has left a shadow because of eating human flesh, so that he feels guilty in his heart, or he has a ghost in his heart. Now that he tastes meat again, it suddenly evokes memories of the past and urges him to vomit. At that moment, Xie Yixiang secretly sneered, then took the topic away and asked, "Now that it's time for you to tell me the truth." Let me ask you, why did all the rice stored in the cellar in the backyard turn into corpses, and who was the one doing the trick?"

Hearing this, Master Du couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and hurriedly looked around, seeing that there was no one present, so he said cautiously: "Why is Miss Xie San still entangled in this matter? At that time, you didn't believe it, so the villain quietly took you to the cellar in the backyard, so that you could see with your own eyes the corpses stored in the cellar, which is the food we eat these days. Where is the rice from beginning to end?"

Xie Yixiang saw that he was still lying and refused to confide the truth to himself, so he couldn't help but feel angry, and said coldly: "It's just stubborn, a bunch of nonsense! It just so happens that Xian Jingyue is also here, do you want me to find him to question you face to face?"

Master Du was wiped out of all the memories of that afternoon, and thought that his identity as a pro-military lieutenant had not been exposed, so he turned pale with fright on the spot, and said repeatedly: "Ouch, be quiet...... Miss Xie San must not make a noise, once others hear the identity of the villain, won't it hurt the villain?" As he spoke, he couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously: "Miss Xie San, don't fool the villain, let's do it first...... You must know that the emperor had already issued a decree a few days ago, and Lord Xian Jingyue would be appointed as the deputy commander of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, if the villain had not miscalculated the day, today would be the day of his official appointment, and the first deputy commander was of course in Jinling City right now, and was being appointed by the emperor, so how could he appear in a ghost place like Ningyi City?"

This time, it was Xie Yixiang's turn to be startled, and blurted out: "I saw Senior Brother appear with my own eyes just now, can I still be mistaken?" Master Du kept shaking his head and said, "Impossible...... No way. Although there were rebels besieging the city before, the villain and the imperial court have always been in contact, if the first deputy commander really came to Ningyi City, how could the villain not know?"

Xie Yixiang was silent, just in that demonic wind, he took off the mask that the gray-clothed man put on his head, and he could clearly see that it was Senior Brother Xianjingyue, could it be that he was born again? Since coming to this Ningyi City, too many unreasonable things have happened one after another, whether it is the rice in the cellar turning into corpses, or the death of the middle-aged couple in the night room, or the demon fighting methods in the City God Temple, many things are obviously seen with their own eyes, but in the end they are not like that at all;

Seeing that Xie Yixiang was deep in thought, where did Master Du dare to stay longer? Hurriedly confessed, turned around and trotted away. Xie Yixiang thought for a while, but she still had no clue, and finally had to continue to walk inside, and when she walked outside the front hall of the yamen, there happened to be another official who rushed out quickly and vomited in the courtyard, obviously because of the shadow left by eating human flesh, so the "all-cow feast" that the other party put out tonight was out of the way.

At that moment, Xie Yixiang stepped straight into the front hall, only to see that on the left side were General Yang Lao and seven or eight generals leading the army, and on the right side were Quan Chongtian, Lin Yixian, He Qimeng and Fan Shentong, the four leaders of the green forest, as well as several bandit leaders, who were talking and laughing, eating the roasted beef in front of them. And Lord Fang led a few officials to sit at the end of the seat, all of them with pale faces and malaise. When Xie Yixiang came in, Lord Fang happened to cover his mouth and nose, and said to Old General Yang on the left: "...... That's it, this beef official really can't eat it. It seems that from now on, our iron clothes can only fast and be vegetarian. ”
