Chapter 497: Evil Ghosts

Xiao Jinyan muttered in his heart, didn't he hit the muzzle of the gun?

Seeing that everyone was on guard and ready to make a move at any time, Xiao Jinyan laughed, stood up, and arched his hand towards Liu Yashi, "Under the surname Xiao, it is true that I have only come to Xiangyang not long ago, and when I heard Liu Chaye's analysis just now, I whipped into the inside, entered the wood for three points, admired and admired." ”

Liu Ya's eyes were like torches, "Lian Jiazi?"

"I've practiced martial arts for a few years, but I can't afford to be in the eyes of the poor master. ”

"What school does the teacher inherit, and who does he worship as a teacher?"

Xiao Jinyan listened to his tone and seemed to know a lot about the rivers and lakes, but the matter of his own sect was too complicated, so he had to say, "There is no sect, there is no teacher." ”

"Why did you come to Xiangyang?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Track down a person and save the world." ”

Everyone laughed, "It's not a small tone." ”

Xiao Jinyan said helplessly: "I'm just telling the truth." ”

The young official asked, "Then can you explain why you are here?"

Xiao Jinyan pointed to Liu Yuanwai's mansion not far away, "I came here for the case of Liu's mansion last night, and I heard that Liu's mansion was killed, so I came to inquire about the news." ”

Liu Yayan is an old errand officer, who has handled countless big cases, and has already practiced a pair of fiery eyes, he looked at Xiao Jinyan for a long time, saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and snorted coldly, "It's also honest." ”

The young official said, "In my opinion, even if you are not a murderer, you have nothing to do with the destruction of the Liu Mansion." ”

Xiao Jinyan said: "To say that it doesn't matter at all, it's also a lie. However, I did pay attention to Liu Fu before. ”

The young official was about to speak, but Liu Yashi waved his hand and said to Xiao Jinyan: "Go on." ”

Xiao Jinyan said: "I was tracking down a person, and I found that this person was related to a Paradise Sect that had recently emerged in Xiangyang City, so I came here, and before that, I found that Liu Yuanwai had contact with the Paradise Sect, so I came to see if there was anything I found today." ”

These words are false and real, and Liu Yashi did not raise any objections.

But when they heard about the Bliss, everyone present looked strange.

Liu Yazhi said: "Not long after the establishment of the Cult of Bliss in Xiangyang City, many wealthy merchants and officials in the city are also believers in the Cult of Bliss, but they have never heard of any evil deeds, but on the first and fifteenth days of every month, they will give porridge to the people in the city, and the reputation is good, why did you investigate this Cult of Bliss." ”

Xiao Jinyan said: "I have no comment. ”

Liu Ya saw that Xiao Jinyan did not have a blade, one did not say the reason, and the other did not say the teacher, so he deliberately tested his martial arts, before he entered the official errand, he had been mixed in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and he knew a lot about the martial arts of various factions on the rivers and lakes, and said: "Then please advise." ”

Xiao Jinyan guessed his intentions, "I'm willing to accompany him." ”

Liu Yashi drew his sword and made a starting gesture, which was the Wuxiang swordsmanship of the Li family in Jinling.

Xiao Jinyan knew this set of swordsmanship and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence." ”

After that, he picked up a chopstick and made a move of the phaseless swordsmanship.

Liu Ya's face was stunned, "Point to the end, look at the sword!"

Three swords were stabbed out one after another, Xiao Jinyan and Li Chengcheng practiced, and he was already familiar with this set of swordsmanship, and he didn't want to think about it, so he returned to the three swords with the same moves, Liu Ya's martial arts skills were only known at the beginning of Xuanchu, but he did not use internal force to take advantage, Xiao Jinyan saw this, and only used the sword to meet the battle.

Everyone was dazzled, how could the two of them use the same set of swordsmanship, could it be that they were long-lost brothers?

One

After the thirty-six road Wuxiang sword was completed, Liu Yashi collected the sword and shouted happily, "It turns out that Your Excellency has also been to the Li Family Sword Forest?"

People who learn swords are proud to have been to the Li Family Sword Forest, and those who can enter the Li Family Sword Forest are not too bad in character, so Liu Yashi dispelled his doubts about Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "I happen to be friends with Li Chengcheng, and I know a lot about this set of swordsmanship. ”

When Liu Yashi heard this, he said: "It turned out to be a friend of Li Gongzi, disrespectful, disrespectful." In Xia Liu Youcai, Tiantong visited the Li family for four years and practiced swords in the sword forest for three years. ”

"Under Xiao Jinyan. ”

Liu Youcai felt that this name was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. Back then, when Xiao Jinyan was the leader of the martial arts league, his martial arts were not high, and he did it casually, and he didn't do anything sensational, on the contrary, he did a lot of ridiculous things, and later after becoming famous, Liu Youcai had withdrawn from the rivers and lakes and entered the public door, so he didn't know Xiao Jinyan.

Liu Youcai poured a glass of wine, "As the saying goes, if you don't fight, you don't know each other, since you are interested in the case of Liu's Mansion, it is better to solve the case with us." ”

The young official said, "Master Liu, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Liu Youcai said sharply, "Wang Zizai, you have just entered the industry, don't be a dull and timid style, let's handle the case publicly, pay attention to the result, don't use that set of ethereal rules to frame yourself, tie your hands and feet, what the old man wants is to solve the case, not the rules." ”

When the young official named Wang Zizai heard this, his face was full of shame.

Liu Youcai said again: "Now we have no clue about the case, Brother Xiao is from the rivers and lakes, there are many roads, maybe there will be something to discover." ”

Xiao Jinyan said: "Coincidentally, I also want to go and see." ”

......

Xiao Jinyan followed Liu Youcai and others into Liu's mansion.

The scene was shocking, in the lobby, there were piles of corpses, missing arms and legs, and there was no complete person at all. It was June, the weather was hot, the corpse had begun to decompose, and there was a stench, Rao is Xiao Jinyan was used to seeing big scenes, and when he saw this appearance, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.

One of them was wearing a middle coat, and it was identified from the costume that it was Liu Yuanwai.

There was blood everywhere in the courtyard.

Liu Youcai said, "After the murderer committed the crime, he divided the bodies of everyone in the courtyard, and the method was extremely cruel. ”

Xiao Jinyan looked at the courtyard, last night he killed the five "hanged ghosts" in the courtyard, but there was no trace left at the scene, Xiao Jinyan looked around again, and found a piece of carrion under a flower bed. It was a hanged ghost who fell on his face last night that Liu Youcai asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "There is a kind of poison, after taking it, it will become rotten all over the body, and the strength is infinite, and I don't know the pain and itching. I just looked at the corpses, and the wounds were not wounded by sharp objects, but seemed to have been torn apart by force. He couldn't tell Liu Youcai what was going on inside the Soul Flag, so he could only choose a relatively more acceptable explanation.

Liu Youcai smacked his tongue, "What poison is so powerful?"

Xiao Jinyan sniffed the piece of carrion, there was a faint fragrance on it, and he said, "Bliss Grass." ”

Liu Youcai said, "As far as I know, this Bliss Grass is also popular in Xiangyang, and after taking it, people are in a trance, as if they have arrived in the Bliss Wonderland, but it is not as powerful as you say." ”

"I don't know, maybe other herbs have been added. ”

The young official said, "My lord, there is a discovery!" He pointed to a bloodstain at the door of Liu Yuanwai's bedroom, "These bloodstains have long turned black, and they don't look like human blood." ”

Of course, it was not human blood, but Xiao Jinyan "pretending to be a ghost" last night

when left behind in pig blood.

Liu Youcai stepped forward to investigate, looked at some messy footprints on the ground, and said, "It seems that in addition to the murderer, there should be someone who has come to Liu's mansion." ”

On the contrary, Xiao Jinyan did not hide it, "I came to Liu's Mansion last night." ”

Wang Zizai said: "Sure enough, it's you!"

Xiao Jinyan said, "I just came to investigate, and I didn't kill anyone, obviously, the murderer committed the murder after I left." ”

"Either way, you're the most suspicious. ”

Xiao Jinyan sneered, "If it was really me, would I go to great lengths to come back here?"

Liu Youcai pondered, "What are your plans?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Brother Liu, I don't know if there is a way for me to meet the Bliss Sect Master?"

Liu Youcai was a little hesitant, and Xiao Jinyan said again, "If it's inconvenient, tell me the location, and I'll go by myself." ”

"That's not it, it's just that this Bliss Sect Master has a close relationship with the City Lord, and my official is soft-spoken, so I can't see each other at all, but since Brother Xiao asks, I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman and go with you!"

Xiao Jinyan thanked him and asked, "What is missing from Liu Yuanwai's mansion?"

"Gold and silver jewels are the same. Liu Youcai said.

"What kind of business does he do?"

Liu Youcai said, "There are more than a dozen pharmacy shops under Liu Yuanwai's name, and they are the largest medicinal herb dealers in our Xiangyang City. ”

"Medicinal herbs?" Xiao Jinyan had doubts in his heart, could it be that Wang Banxian wanted to use some kind of medicinal herbs to improve the Bliss Grass? If this was the case, the Bliss Sect would have a motive to kill, and he said to Liu Youcai, "Can you check their account books and treasury to see if anything is missing?"

Liu Youcai even ordered someone to go to the pharmacy to investigate.

After more than half an hour, someone came to report, and through the investigation of the account books, they found that half a month ago, Liu Yuanwai spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a piece of "sorrowful ghost", but this piece of wood was not found in the warehouse.

"Grim ghost?

Xiao Jinyan was not familiar with this.

Liu Youcai said: "This kind of wood is extremely rare, from southern Xinjiang, some dignitaries and nobles in ancient times are often used as coffins, after contact with the underground yin qi, milled into powder, can be used to make medicinal materials, can be used to treat headaches, insomnia and other symptoms, in the past on the black market, a pound can be sold for hundreds of taels of high prices, and there is no market, Liu Yuanwai can get this kind of coffin, can indeed make a windfall. It's a pity that there is no blessing to endure. ”

Headaches, insomnia?

If it is mixed with Bliss Grass and formulated, can't it be made into a poison?

He remembered the "hanged ghosts" who were rotting all over their bodies and had infinite strength last night.

If this kind of sorrowful ghost is mixed with Bliss Grass, and after being made into a medicine for people to take, it will become the same as last night, with the amount of medicine lost by Liu Yuanwai, it can raise a mutated army of tens of thousands of people, if Wang Banxian uses it, wouldn't it be able to sweep the entire world?

Conquer the world with an army of demons.

Use the Grass of Bliss to control the people.

It is exactly the Pure Land Plan on Earth that Wang Banxian said in his mouth.

It's really calculated and vicious.

Wang Banxian is a madman, a complete lunatic.

Xiao Jinyan sensed the seriousness of the situation, and no matter what, he had to stop this kind of thing from happening.

He said, "Please Brother Liu to lead the way, that Bliss Sect, whether it is Longtan Tiger's Den, I will break through." ”
