Chapter 13: Woe to the Spirit Dart Game
Xiao Lie was speechless with a big mouth in surprise, and it took a long time for him to recover: "Have you reported to the official?"
"I reported it, but there was no way for the people from the government to go there, there were no clues at all, and they couldn't be checked. The cause of their death is extremely bizarre, they all died in their sleep. "Yin Cedar is very sad.
Xiao Lie then asked, "How do you know this?"
"This Lingyun Dart Bureau has always maintained a good relationship with us, and we often ask them to help us bring some things to the city. A few days ago, I was going to let them exercise things, but there was no response when the contact butterfly was released, and then the contact butterfly of Fuhu Temple arrived, and they also went to the Lingyun Dart Bureau to escort a batch of goods, only to learn about it. But something went wrong, so I came to us to discuss. ”
"Can they still send darts to the underworld?"
"No, this capital city is divided into two parts, yin and yang, and he is only responsible for the yang world. ”
"Then what other news do you know, or more specific clues?" Xiao Lie continued to ask.
"No, the contact butterfly only sent back so much information, and the rest can only go once to see what the people from Fuhu Temple have found in the past few days. ”
"It's okay, early tomorrow morning, Zuo Tianming and I will go with us. If there are more people, we can help. Xiao Lie didn't ask for their opinions, and said as he should.
Yin Xuesong pondered for a moment: "Okay, then let's leave early tomorrow morning." ”
After deciding, Xiao Lie asked Zhong Bo to prepare wine and food, and packed up a few rooms for them to live in. During the banquet, everyone swept away the dullness just now, and talked and drank happily. Xiao Lie is very attentive to Qiu Feixu, but it's a pity that this beautiful beauty just doesn't care about him, Xiao Lie is not embarrassed, chatting with this, chatting with that, just covering up the past. The cups were very cheerful, after three rounds of drinking, everyone looked drunk, but fortunately the two little girls did not get drunk, seeing that they were already drunk, they called Uncle Zhong and asked him to find a few people to help them back to rest.
I thought it was good, let them go to sleep when they were drunk, but no one thought that these people were not so good at drinking, except for Bai Zhihe and Zuo Tianming who fell asleep in a proper manner, the other three people were shouting and laughing in the courtyard. They had a lively play, which pitted Miss Qiu Feixu and the others, and they couldn't sleep because of their noise. It was the first time they saw the senior brother who had always been polite and generous, and he actually had such a side. The two sisters decided that they would never be allowed to get so drunk from now on.
They went crazy in the courtyard until midnight before they would go back to their rooms to sleep, and at last everyone's world was quiet, and it didn't take long for everyone to fall asleep to the sound of insects in the quiet night.
These people who made trouble until midnight didn't get up until noon the next day, and Xu Huanxin lectured all of them. After looking at the time, Yin Xuesong decided to set off immediately to Syracuse, and if he delayed it, he was afraid that the people in Fuhu Temple would be in a hurry, mixed with dizziness after a hangover.
Along the way, Qiu Feixu and Xu Huanxin took care of this, and then took care of that, making them physically and mentally exhausted. The journey was much slower, arriving in Syracuse a day later than expected.
After entering Syracuse City, he didn't rush to find a place to live, but came directly to the location of the Lingyun Dart Bureau. In the past few days, the three people of Fuhu Temple have been very busy, collecting all kinds of valuable clues, and using the secret method of this sect to keep the bodies of everyone in the dart game from rotting, which is really a little overwhelming. Relieved when they saw the arrival of the people from the Pear Blossom Pie, the three of them went out to meet each other. Xiao Lie, the three people of Fuhu Temple, have also seen it, and they are Zhenxiu, Zhenyun, and Zhenqing, who have fought together in the ghost village before. After a simple greeting at the door, Zhen Xiu led them into the house, Xiao Lie walked at the end of the line with a smile, and whispered a few words in Zuo Tianming's ear, Zuo Tianming nodded and turned around and walked out of the gate of the dart game.
When Xing Hao saw Zuo Tianming leaving, he asked Xiao Lie, "What did Tianming do?"
"It's nothing, let's go in first, and we'll know when he comes back." ”
Xing Hao knew that Xiao Lie was prevaricating him, but he also understood that it must be reasonable for him to let Zuo Tianming out, so he didn't investigate deeply.
After entering the house, they asked in detail about the situation here, and Zhen Xiu told them everything they knew.
When the three of them came, they found that the door was closed, and the door was not opened. The more they thought about it, the more strange they felt, and the three of them discussed it and decided to climb through the wall, ignoring the etiquette for a few weeks, and if something happened, it would be better to solve it quickly.
When I went to the yard, I still didn't see anyone, so I had to search every room. found a place to sleep in the backyard, Zhenqing first found that the guys were lying on the bed, called a few times and no one talked, and when he went to check, he found that they were all dead. Subsequently, it was found that the entire dart game went up and down, from the head of the dart Zongshitang to the cook in the room, there was no one alive. The three of them first reported to the officials, and the Yamen sent servants to come to conduct an autopsy, and found that all of these people died naturally, and none of them died of poisoning. In this way, this case has become a headless unsolved case, but Zhen Xiu can't figure it out, if it is said that he died normally, how could he all die in one night. With questions, Zhen Xiu went to the local Chenghuang Yamen, and learned from the mouth of the Chenghuang Ye that the longevity of these people was not over, and he did not find that the souls of these people were wandering outside, and the Chenghuang Ye was also very strange, where did their souls go? The Chenghuang Ye decided to investigate the matter thoroughly, but after a few days, there was no news, and there was still no clue.
There was no choice but to call the people from their Pear Blossom Sect to help, after all, there is strength in numbers, and it is better to work together than to be confused.
"Since the Chenghuang Yamen does not have the souls of these people, there is only one possibility left, that is, the dart bureau was assassinated, and some kind of means were used to take away the souls of these fifty-nine people. Before Xiao Lie's words were finished, he heard Zuo Tianming shouting loudly in the courtyard: "Brother Xiao, I have captured him, and the task is complete." ”
"Bring it in. Xiao Lie said to the people in the house: "As soon as I entered the city just now, I found that there was a tail that had been following us, and when I was at the door of the dart game, I found that he was leaving, and I wanted to go wherever I wanted, so I asked Zuo Tianming to arrest him back." Come on, let's see what this kid does. ”
Zuo Tianming pushed a man dressed as a slave and came in. When he entered the door, he said to Xiao Lie: "After you finish telling me, this kid is about to run, and I have to chase him for several streets." This guy can really run, if he hadn't entered a dead end, I guess I wouldn't have been able to come back now. "After saying that, I made it to the stool.
"Who are you, and why are you arresting me?" asked the man who had been brought in.
"I still want to ask you, why are you following us?" Xiao Lie asked rhetorically.
"I'm just passing by outside, why am I following you?"
Zuo Tianming stood up and kicked him: "If you didn't follow us, if you didn't follow us, why did you want to run?"
"If you don't chase me, can I run? ”
"What a cunning mouth, I won't say anything if I don't give you something powerful. Zuo Tianming raised his hand and was about to fight, but was stopped by Xing Hao on the side, Yin Xuesong said to this person, "What's your name?"
"Why are you told that you are robbers, what are you going to do in broad daylight?"
"Pull it down, I can't ask anything if I ask me like this, so let's use some means. Seeing his attitude, Xiao Lie specified that he couldn't ask anything, took out a black cloth strip from his pocket, and walked to this person with two spirit runes.
Zuo Tianming held him down to prevent him from resisting, Xiao Lie blindfolded him with a strip of black cloth, pasted a spirit talisman on the front and back of this person's heart, pinched his mouth, recited a mantra, and said to everyone with a smile after reading: "This time, if you have anything to ask, just ask, this is the mantra that my master taught me, I used this to teach me when I was a child, and I learned it later, and it also came in handy today." ”
"It's really yours, first let Zuo Tianming arrest people, which saves us the trouble of wasting our mouths. Yin Xuesong praised him. Then he asked him everything he knew, and after asking everyone, they looked at each other and were surprised, there were still such despicable and shameless people in this world.
The person who was arrested was called Laifu, and he was a subordinate of Cui Mansion in the capital city. A few days ago, he and their old master Cui Sanshi came to Syracuse City to find the head of the dart bureau, Zong Shitang, and wanted him to escort something, but he had to start from our capital city. Seeing that there was business coming, and he was a famous man in the capital city, he naturally received him warmly.
"Cui Ye's arrival is far away, forgive me. Zong Shitang took Cui Sanshi into the hall.
"I don't know what happened to Cui Ye's personal visit?"
"Of course looking for you is a dart, is it possible that I am still looking for you to prostitute?" Cui Sanshi's tone was extremely disrespectful.
"That's, that's, what is the thing that Cui Ye asked us to send?" Zong Shitang frowned slightly and immediately asked with a smile on his face.
"The things are in Xudu City, you have to take someone back to Xudu with us, and then go to Shuntianfu with the things. Although the distance is a little farther, but the reward will not be less than you, my request is that not a single cargo can be damaged, and the speed of the escort must be delivered on time according to my requirements. Cui Sanshi played with the object in his hand and didn't even look at him.
"Master Cui, you have to tell us what kind of goods are being delivered, and I can arrange someone to be not. Zong Shitang asked again.
Cui Sanshi slapped the table: "Let you go, where did you go so much nonsense." Uncle Ben personally looked for you and gave you a lot of face, didn't you count it in your heart?"
Seeing Cui Sanshi speak like this, the fire in Zong Shitang also came up, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
