Strange to say, Chu Zhe returned home that night with a masked man who was tightly covered. He first took the man to find his father, only to hear his father scold a few words, and then took the masked man out of the house. Daddy went out for almost an hour, and when he came back, he locked Chu Zhe in the house. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, the Criminal Department came to congratulate the people, saying that they had arrested all the criminals who had committed serious crimes. They also said that they were able to solve this big case thanks to Chu Zhe, Lin Zhuangshi and the son of the Song family. ”

Dong Ping frowned and said, "That night, after your brother came home, he never went out?"

Jiang Cishu said: "Exactly." ”

Dong Ping said again: "Do you know the identities of those prisoners?"

Jiang Ciyu shook his head and said: "I don't know, those prisoners are going to commit crimes, and my father has also been to the prison of the Criminal Department several times." But it is commanded by the Holy Father that no one should see the prisoners until they are beheaded. ”

Dong Ping was silent, and Jiang Cishu said: "Okay, I can't stay here for a long time, I'll leave here." Dong Ping came back to his senses and said, "I'll send you." ”

Jiang Ciyu smiled and said, "No, you can sit down." Dong Ping nodded and said, "Then you slower down." Jiang Cishu said: "I came in a sedan chair." By the way, Lin Zhuangshi, I will bring you some supplements, and I will order someone to put them in the courtyard, you remember to eat, and I will thank you for my brother. After that, Jiang Ci was blessed.

Lin Sanchuan hurriedly said: "I can't stand it, I can't stand it." ”

Jiang Ciyu looked back and smiled: "Your friend is not like you, much more honest than you." Dong Ping smiled and said: "I'm not honest, but I'm thick and long." Jiang Ciqiao blushed and said, "you!"

Jiang Ci came and went.

Dong Ping sighed suddenly: "Sanchuan, I'm afraid you were used as a knife this time." Lin Sanchuan was puzzled and said, "How did you say this?" Dong Ping smiled: "When you go to the vegetable market, you will understand." ”

Although there is still half an hour before noon, the entrance of the vegetable market is already crowded. The sea of people is full of voices. There was no space in the ground, so people climbed to the eaves and ridges to see the excitement. The people want to see what kind of face this wicked man and thief have in life.

The warden was already sitting firmly behind the platform, and in the small arena in front of him, there were a total of nineteen masked men dressed in black with pillowcases on their heads, their hands tied behind their backs, kneeling on the ground. Behind each masked man, there stood an executioner with a fierce figure and a large knife in his hand, like the Nine Shadows Rakshasas. Strange to say, there were no names written on the scarves on the back of the necks of the nineteen masked men.

The people who watched the trouble whispered, and one said, "Why is there no name written on the death card?" A little boy smiled: "No wonder you lived for almost sixty years and didn't get the top prize, your idiom is not up to the mark." The old pedant smiled and said: "If there are 10,000 people in the world, then 9,000 of them are fools, they live a plausible life, as long as they look like it, it sounds like that, and they don't care how it should be used." The boy said again: "You are not answering the question!"

The old pedant laughed and said, "Your parents are here?"

The boy said, "No, they are working in the shop!"

The old pedant nodded, and when he suddenly became shorter, he put his arm around the boy's waist. Then, he slapped the little boy's ass hard with his dry palm, and muttered: "Let you mess with the little old man, let you mess with the little old man......"

Dong Ping and Lin Sanchuan also came, standing alone on the ridge of a house. Originally, there were a lot of children playing in this room, but Dong Ping found it really annoying, so he sent them all away with a few copper coins. The girls in the house were afraid of seeing blood, so only the two of them came.

Lin Sanchuan's one-eyed eyes stared at the nineteen masked men for a moment, and suddenly, he spoke: "It shouldn't be that he was transferred." Dong Ping didn't answer him, but asked, "Have you seen Song Gongzi, Young Master Jiang?" Lin Sanchuan was about to shake his head, but he stopped suddenly, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the crowd and said: "I look at that person, how does he look a little like Brother Jiang?" Dong Ping looked in the direction that Lin Sanchuan was pointing, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a Zhuangzi scarf and a blue robe, staring intently at the nineteen masked people kneeling in the field.

Dong Ping said lightly: "It's Jiang Qinzhou, Young Master Jiang's father." ”

"Ah!" Lin Sanchuan first exclaimed, and then muttered, "No wonder. ”

Dong Ping swept the crowd on both sides of Jiang Qinzhou, and was horrified in his heart: "Lord Meng from the Yushitai, Kong Shangshu and Ren Shilang from the Ministry of War, and Lord Hu from the Ministry of Rites...... Why did Zhang Jun even come?" "It doesn't matter if you don't count, as soon as you count, Dong Ping counted more than a dozen court officials. These high-ranking officials looked at the nineteen masked men with sad expressions for a while, and glared at Jiang Qinzhou angrily for a while.

The horror in Dong Ping's heart gradually dissipated, and he smiled: "What a ruthless method." ”

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums like thunder came from outside the crowd. Immediately, I heard dozens of people shouting in a shrill voice: "The Holy Lord has arrived!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and they immediately avoided both sides and fell to their knees. The long snake-like procession drove towards the field, dozens of eunuchs with gongs and drums in front, and Zhao Zhen, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and a jade-like face, sat on the car and followed closely. And around that dragon chariot, it is the internal guard who is responsible for protecting the emperor's thoroughness.

The team stopped, and the one-year-old eunuch helped Zhao Zhen get out of the car. When the old eunuch was about to help Zhao Zhan into the arena, he was pushed away by Zhao Zhan. He walked into the arena with his head held high, his face was serious, and there was a sense of righteousness between his eyebrows.

The people outside the venue saw that the Son of Heaven was such a celestial posture, and they were even more admired and in awe. The prison officer had already walked quickly to Zhao Zhen, knelt on the ground, and said, "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Aiqing is exempt." ”

Immediately, Zhao Zhan faced the nineteen masked men and shouted: "I know that you people must have doubts in their hearts, and you are asking in your hearts, just beheading a few prisoners, is it worth letting the emperor Lao'er come forward?"

As soon as Zhao Zhen spoke, a chuckle sounded in the crowd.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Yes, I don't want to come, because I don't want to see that in my Great Song Dynasty, there are still villains doing evil, and there are wicked people who are taking people's lives." But this time, I have to come, and I want to apologize to the people of Lin'an!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and then only one person was heard: "What is Your Majesty's crime?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Take off the pillowcases on the heads of these gangsters!"

Nineteen executioners worked together to remove the pillowcase that was covering the masked man's head. The young faces stained with mud and blood, dirty, but full of horror were displayed in front of everyone.

Zhao Zhen shouted: "Can you know them!"

I heard a man's voice crying, crying: "Wu'er, Daddy has come to see you!"

It was Zhang Jun who spoke, and he was already in tears at this time. Among the nineteen people, one of them was Zhang Qiandu. Zhang Qiandu, who was still in high spirits a few days ago, talked with Dong Pinggao, and walked away with Wan Qiwei in a few words, but at this time, his eyes were cloudy and his face was haggard. Zhang Qiandu turned his head to look at Zhang Jun, he was in tears, and he opened his mouth wide to say something to Zhang Jun. But Zhang Jun could only hear him babbling. People with clear eyes and bright hearts have already seen that the tongue in Zhang Jun's mouth has long been uprooted.

Suddenly, I just listened to a group of people talking about it.

"They are all powerful sons and daughters in the family!"

"A bunch of bullying dogs!"

......

Zhao Zhen sighed when he heard this: "It's me who is confused, these meat-eating people actually rely on the power of their family to do evil and harm innocents under my nose." Dear people, I have made amends for your sins!"

When thousands of people saw this, their hearts were greatly moved, and they all bowed to the ground and prostrated their heads, shouting in unison, long live, long live, long live! They were grateful to Dade and to God for giving them such a wise king!

Lin Sanchuan sighed: "The performance of this little emperor at this time is also worthy of loving the people like a son. Dong Ping smiled and said nothing.

Suddenly, Zhao Zhan got up and said loudly: "Everyone, how do you say that you should punish these thieves!"

The overwhelming call responded, and only one word was said: "Chop!"

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Okay, chop!" He ran to the front of the prison beheading platform with excitement on his face, threw all the chopping tokens on the ground, and shouted: "Chop!"

There is no joke, and the knife is naturally not fake.

In a flash of the sword, nineteen human heads landed at the same time. Blood spurted like a pillar, and the nineteen pillars of blood reflected the cold sunlight, reflecting a strange rainbow.

Someone cried, but the cry was drowned out in a sea of cheers. Zhang Jun stood up suddenly, and bit Jiang Qinzhou like a tiger. And at the same time as he made a move, two figures had already swept past him like lightning, pinning him to the ground. Zhang Jun's eyes were scarlet and his eyes were about to split, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "The surname is Jiang, Lao Tzu can't spare you!"

Zhao Zhan followed the prestige and said with a smile: "Jiang Aiqing, it turns out that you are also here." ”

Jiang Qinzhou trembled, stood up staggeringly, and arched his hand: "Weichen, see Your Majesty." Zhao Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, supported Jiang Qinzhou and said, "Aiqing is exempt." Then, Zhao Zhen took Jiang Qinzhou's hand and slowly paced around the field. As he walked, he said to people: "This son of Jiang Qinzhou and Lord Jiang is the hero who solved this case. ”

Looking at the admiring gazes projected by people on him, Jiang Qinzhou cried bitterly in his heart. He knew that from this moment on, he Jiang Qinzhou would become the target of public criticism in the temple, a real canoe.

Before turning back to the prison platform, Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Jiang Aiqing, Ling Gongzi is a young hero, it can be said that he has made great contributions to the cracking of this case, how about I make him a duke?"

Jiang Qinzhou fell to the ground and hurriedly shouted: "The dog is ashamed!"

When Zhao Zhen was about to speak again, he saw twenty-one people floating from the sky like wild geese. The leader is an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, who is clear and thin. As soon as the old Taoist priest landed, he said: "Poor Dao Dongye, with the inferior disciples under the seat, Yu Huanzi, Shi Jizi, Yu Xuzi, Bai Qingzi, Gu Yuezi, Jinqizi, Qingyizi, Chongerzi, Danguangzi, Gao Maruzi, Zhejingzi, Zuo Aizi, Anointing Jizi, Tiangou Zi, Gao Chaozi, Chunmengzi, Zuo Lianzi, Pangenzi, Koujiaozi, Gangjiaozi, meet Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen hurriedly said: "Immortal Master is exempt!"

The people outside the venue were shocked, they had long heard that there was an old fairy in the banyan forest in the north of Lin'an City, named Dongye Daoren, and it was indeed worthy of its reputation when they saw it today. Lin Sanchuan was even more shocked, he could see that the twenty people who followed behind the Dongye Daoist were the twenty Taoist priests who had dealt with the woods that night.

Zhao Zhen said in a low voice: "Immortal Master, why are you here?"

Dongye Daoren shook his head and said: "Poor Dao is ashamed of his love for His Majesty, and he has come to apologize to His Majesty." Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "What is the crime of the immortal master?"

Dongye Daoren suddenly turned around and shouted, "You still don't kneel down!"

Yu Huanzi and the others knelt down expressionlessly, their faces were lifeless, and they didn't look like a gang at all. Dongye Daoren drank softly, and he had already started the trick of sound transmission kung fu. As soon as he spoke, the people inside and outside the venue could hear it clearly: "These criminals have privately built a cult behind the back of the poor road, relying on words to bewitch and recruit followers to do evil for them.

Dongye Daoren suddenly walked in front of Yu Huanzi and others, and every time he passed a person, he raised his hand and slapped it on the head. His palm seemed to be light and fluttering, but it didn't have much strength. But the head of the person who was slapped by him fell to the ground like a ripe watermelon, shattering with a bang. Red and white splashed everywhere, and the scene was bloody and cruel, making people gasp, turn around and vomit, and dare not look directly.

Zhao Zhang's face was pale, and cold sweat was dripping down. He said, "Immortal Master...... You... Why are you doing this?"

Michito Higashino smiled: "It's not a pity for them to die. ”

Lin Sanchuan was fascinated by it, and secretly said karma, and tried it repeatedly.

But then he noticed a small hand pressing down on his back. He thought it was a naughty child playing with him, but then he realized that something was wrong. A tremendous force came from that little hand, and he couldn't move. He turned his head to look with all his strength, only to see that he was holding him down by a little black face and a little ragged flower. But the bright eyes of the little flower are flickering, but they are like stars, and they are very moving. Suddenly, the little flower smiled slyly at him, and then, the little flower shouted into the field: "Official, don't fall for the old Taoist priest!" Lin Sanchuan was stunned, he always felt that this voice sounded a little familiar, but he forgot where he had heard it. Lin Sanchuan turned his head to look at Dong Ping again, and saw that Dong Ping was lying on the roof with his eyes closed at the moment, still soaking lightly, obviously asleep.

At the same time, the crowd became silent, and they all looked at each other. I saw a one-eyed man, pulling a small flower from the roof of a high-rise building, and flew down to the field. Lin Sanchuan secretly complained, others saw that he was pulling the little flower to jump off the roof, but in fact, it was the little flower that controlled him.

And at the same time that the two of them landed, nine long knives were already on their necks. The prison officer shouted: "Where did you come from, you dare to be presumptuous in front of Your Majesty!"

Lin Sanchuan opened his mouth and said, "Grass people Lin Sanchuan, meet Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Oh, you are Lin Sanchuan?"

Lin Sanchuan said: "If it is fake, the grass people are Lin Sanchuan!"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "You are the same as Lin Sanchuan, you are missing an eye." Just now you said that the immortal master deceived me, what do you mean?"

Lin Sanchuan was about to speak, but found that he seemed to have a mouthful of thick phlegm stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak. He glared at Xiao Yuhua viciously, knowing that she was secretly causing trouble.

Xiao Yuhua grinned, turned to Zhao Zhen and said, "Official, my brother told me that this old Taoist priest smashed these people's heads on his face. Hehe, actually, these people are not dead at all. The way they pretend to be ghosts is to hide their heads in their clothes and then use a fake head on their heads to fool them around. ”

Dongye Daoren smiled slightly and said, "Oh, which bad guy dares to fool the poor Dao and your majesty like this, please point them out one by one." ”

Xiao Xiaohua smiled: "These people pointed knives at me, how can I point." ”

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "All retreat." ”

After a few Ouchi guards flashed to the side, Xiao Yuhua pulled Lin Sanchuan to a headless corpse, and said, "He ......" Before he could say the word neatly, Xiao Yuhua felt that his internal organs were pinched by a big hand. Xiao Yuhua turned her head and glared at Dongye Daoren, and endured the severe pain and said, "It's him!" With that, Xiao Yuhua reached out and reached into the neckline of the corpse that was still covered with blood. When she took her hand out, she slipped out of her head. Lin Sanchuan's heart sank, he recognized that this person was the round-faced Taoist priest who made things difficult for him everywhere that night.

The round-faced Taoist priest looked at Xiao Yuhua with a panicked expression, and suddenly, he shouted: "Master, the apprentice shouldn't bully you!"

When everyone outside the venue heard this, there was an uproar.

Suddenly, the round-faced Taoist priest slapped his palm on his forehead and smashed his head alive.

Dongye Daoist laughed and said, "Good boy, you say, besides him, is there anyone else who pretends to be dead?" Dongye Daoren swept to Xiao Yuhua's side, and a palm fell on Xiao Yuhua's shoulder. Xiao Xiaohua said darkly: "It's not good, I was caught by this old Taoist priest, if he secretly exerts force, I will either die or be disabled." ”

Xiao Yuhua smiled and said, "It's gone, it's just him!"

Dongye Daoren laughed twice, took away his hand, and said, "Good boy, next time you must come to the banyan forest in the north of the city!" Dongye Daoren whisked dust in his hand, and the three thousand white whiskers were like a soft and flexible arm, wrapping up the twenty corpses that were in a kneeling posture on the ground. Then, he turned back to Zhao Zhen and smiled: "Your Majesty, say goodbye!"

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to agree, Dongye Daoren jumped and took the twenty corpses into the air, and when he fell again, his people were already dozens of feet away.

Zhao Zhen grinned and said: "Lin Qing's family is really a hero in the world, how about it, I reward you as the leader of Cong Yunwei, do you want to do it?" Lin Sanchuan opened his mouth and found that he could speak again, he hurriedly said: "The grass people dare not be ashamed, the grass people are rough people, and it is better to be an errand by the side of the horse master." ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Yes, there is affection and righteousness, since this is the case, then I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred acres of fertile land." It seems that Zhao Zhan doesn't really want Lin Sanchuan to be the leader of Cong Yunwei.

Lin Sanchuan said: "Thank you, Lord Longen!"

The emperor was gone, and the crowd dispersed. Lin Sanchuan suddenly looked around, and the little flower didn't know when, and he also left. When he returned to the roof, he saw Dong Ping rubbing his hazy sleepy eyes. Dong Ping smiled and said, "Somehow, I started dreaming of spring." ”
