Chapter 11: The Transformation of the Five Demons
Three days later, the slanting wind and drizzle, Yueyang City. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Baling bloody case shocked the state and county.
As the Xiaoyao Cave was dug up piece by piece, the Baling County Commander who was standing on the side continued to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and his face became whiter and paler, he always knew that Bai Yuanshan, the leader of the beggar gang, was making some small moves under his rule, but he didn't expect the other party to make it so big, and even the bottom of the city wall was dug through.
However, the faces of the people digging at the foot of the city walls were even paler, and they were already vomiting in the face of the headless corpse in the mud.
On the city wall, samurai in black suits lined up with swords, and black umbrellas covered the sky and all eyes.
Under the largest umbrella, Wang Qin, the prefect of Yuezhou, stood proudly in front of the bookcase, his face was sinking like water, and the ink jade wolf in his hand was flying like a pen on the rice paper, and no one could see his joy and anger.
One news after another was reported to his case.
"The beggars helped thirty-seven dead and one survivor. All the heads of the deceased were in different places, and after examination, the methods were similar, all of them were cut off with a knife, and the murder weapons found are here. ā
"There was a secret room hidden in the tunnel, and 23 victims were rescued, including four men, 16 women, and three children, most of whom were missing people who had been reported to officials in various counties in the state. ā
Another 12 skeletal remains of the victims were excavated, whose identities were unknown. ā
"A new tomb was erected on the hillside in the north of the city, and the inscription on the stele was 'the tomb of Mu Zhenzi Huang Siniang', and I don't know who erected it. ā
According to investigation, Huang Siniang is the leader of the beggar gang, and most of the abduction of the population is related to her, and Mu Zhenzi is Huang Siniang's childhood relative and friend, who cultivated in Wuyi Mountain before coming to Baling. ā
Hearing the latest news, Wang Qin put down the pen in his hand, and suddenly asked: "First killed the beggars in the cave, and then built tombs and monuments, Zhang Tiju, you were born in the Criminal Division, what do you think of this murderer?"
One of the black-clothed warriors walked out, in his twenties, with a somewhat sick look, and said respectfully: "Although the lower official doesn't know what the murderer thinks, the only thing he knows is that he is a master. ā
"Oh, what's the high law?"
"Your Excellency, please see. The man surnamed Zhang lifted the short knife that was held up in front of the prefect's eyes, "This wrist-unraising knife is made of ordinary material, and it is just used by butchers to remove meat on weekdays, and it is not easy to chop, if it is used to cut bones, but more than ten times it will be curled, and the murderer has beheaded thirty-seven people in a row, but this blade is only a small gap." This only shows one thing, he is either an innate master, infusing the blade with true qi, so that ordinary items can also become divine blades, or he has great strength and extremely fast shots, so that he can cut off people's neck bones before the blade is rolled. ā
"Violating the ban with martial arts, it's just the courage of a horseman!" Wang Qin scolded, frowned and looked at the Baling County catcher in front of the case, with a look of disgust on his face, "What about the survivor of the beggar gang, what did he say?"
"The survivors are already scared crazy. His name is Chen San. Because he has read books and can write letters, he is the person in charge of contacting the bitter master's family, and in fact, he has another identity as the account office of the beggar gang. The head catcher replied with chaff all over his body, he had received bribes from this Chen San more than once, and under the majestic gaze of the prefect, he only felt that his whole body was clearly seen.
Soon after, someone brought Chen San up, his filthy clothes had been replaced, but he was still drooling from his head, his body was trembling incessantly, and he knelt on the ground for a while and begged for mercy and shouted for help from the fairy, and then shouted in panic that the golden man was coming.
"I need him alive to tell me every detail of what happened that day. Wang Qin waved her hand impatiently, and made a verdict after a while, "Baling County is not strictly under the rule, so that the collection of filth and filth has caused a cancer, and all the people involved have been removed from their official posts and sent to Kyoto for investigation! Although the Baling beggars gang have abducted the population and killed them for money, although they have been severely punished, the remnants of the first evil party are still at large and should be immediately pursued." As for the murderer in this case......"
He pondered for a moment, and the corners of his eyes jumped: "Vainly trying to do the damnation of heaven with one's own strength, wanton and reckless, if you don't punish severely, there will be endless troubles, and you will be arrested after the identity is ascertained." ā
"Zhang Quan, since the people of the arrest department led by you are here, from this moment on, you will be responsible for chasing down the leader of the beggar gang and the murderer, this case is not solved for a day, and you will not be allowed to enter Yuezhou for a day. ā
"Whoa!"
The official seal of Vermilion was heavily stamped on the document that had just been written, and the iron hook and silver strokes on the paper were striking, and the words were so magnificent that they almost wanted to tear the paper and pierce people's hearts.
This is the official verdict.
......
At the same moment, Cen Qing yawned and pushed open the hatch, looked at the rain outside, turned his head and prepared to go back to the cabin to make up for sleep.
"Young Master Qing, this merchant ship has arrived in Hanyang, and it will turn to the southeast in the afternoon, I have already asked the boatman for you, if you go to the Central Plains, it is faster to take the land route from Hanyang. ā
With the voice, Cen Fu walked in from outside with a big burden on his back, soaking wet, and holding an umbrella under his arm.
Cen Qing was stunned, noticed a detail, and said in surprise: "Ah Fu, why are your clothes also wet?"
Cen Fu surprisingly didn't roll his eyes this time, but directly ignored Cen Qing's words, and directly opened the baggage: "In addition, you asked me to help you inquire where to sell gun books and fist and foot martial arts cheats, I have already bought them for you on the dock, ten copper plates for one, there are a total of eighty copies here, and there are all of them." ā
"Well done. ā
Cen Qing opened the books in the baggage, only to see that most of them were rough engraving printing, and the cover said what a shot of spring water flowed eastward, a double phoenix playing in the water and a rain gun, what was holding a jade to explore the palm, a snowy night ecstasy finger and other books with strange names, just opened it curiously and read two pages, and suddenly showed a strange expression on his face. Then he put the whole pile of obscene words and rough illustrations into the spirit bracelet, and sternly admonished by the way: "Ah Lu Ah Shou Ah Xi Ah Cai, you listen well, no one is allowed to touch the secret book of this son." ā
After a while, Cen Lu sighed and complained in the spirit bracelet: "Childe, no one has touched your things, but the little one begs you, can you throw less garbage into it in the future, this spirit bracelet is a little bigger in the buttocks, and the heavy and thick broken gun and this pile of books alone take up half of the space, and if we pile things inside, we can only shoot flat on the wall." ā
"It's the first time I've heard of Lu, your ass is the size of a city gate. Cen Qing didn't pay any attention to Cen Lu's complaints, these ghosts who didn't even have a human body didn't know what spiritual food was.
Thinking of his human body, Cen Qingcai suddenly remembered what Fang Cai's own surprise was, and looked at Cen Fu again: "Ah Fu, have you cultivated into a human body?"
"Young Boy......"
Cen Fu's reaction was a little surprising, and he lowered his head and didn't answer for a long time. In the end, four naked men jumped out of the spirit bracelet, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing: "The villain borrowed the white bone without the permission of Qing Gongzi, and asked Qing Gongzi to punish him." ā
"I'll go!"
This is a veritable daylight, Cen Qing's mouthful of saliva stuck in his throat, and he immediately choked.
It turned out that when these five ghosts helped Cen Qing to block the beggar gang from breaking through with ghosts in the Xiaoyao Cave, they found that there were a lot of fresh bones in the cave, so they selected five high-quality possessed bodies, regained their bodies, and were able to appear during the day.
That's why Cen Lu complains about the cramped space of the spirit bracelet. The four of them turned out to be just ghost bodies, and they couldn't take up the size of a fist when stacked, but now the four big men are crammed into the toilet-sized spirit bracelet, which is indeed a little difficult for them.
But after all, it was a royal dog's leg, Cen Qing was not dissatisfied, but looked at Cen Lu's eyes with interest: "Can you see things?"
"I can see it, Qing Gongzi is really Maung Sai Pan'an, Yan Guo Song Yu, Yushu Linfeng, a talent. Cen Lu was a twenty-three or four-year-old man, with smart eyebrows and eyes, even if he covered his lower body with his hands, his mouth was still complimenting him seriously.
Cen Qing twitched the corners of his mouth, and endured the awkwardness to look at the four ghosts in front of him one by one, Cen Shou had a loyal and honest face, able to speak but still silent; Cen Xi and Cen Cai looked festive and the other looked rude, both of them were only sixteen or seventeen years old, and the two looked at each other with eyebrows and eyes, with expressions of mutual disdain.
"Since you have turned into a human form, then the spirit bracelet will not be used for the time being......" Cen Qing just spoke, the five ghosts were suddenly shocked, they were only able to cultivate quickly in the spirit bracelet, where are they willing to be driven out, one by one kowtowed and begged for forgiveness, the gossip made Cen Qing's head bigger, and finally shouted angrily to stop their noise, "Listen to me! If you quarrel again, your tongue will be cut off, and you won't let you go back, so accompany me to visit this Hanyang City first." ā
"Young boy, let's have bare butts, this ......"
"The brain is a good thing, I hope you can quickly find one and put it in, and besides, you ghosts have been doing it for too long, and the human relationship has been abandoned for too long, so from today onwards, follow this son to learn to be a man." ā
"But young man, you are a woman after all, won't we become sissies if we learn from you?"
"Lu, do you know how many ways to write dead characters?"
