Chapter 74: Ten Years (1)

The night breeze was slightly cold, the sky full of stars was hidden in the stratus clouds, the lights in the house illuminated half of the courtyard, and the sound of gentle breathing was faintly heard, and someone was sleeping.

Jing Fei lay lazily under the plum tree in the courtyard, holding a wine jug in his fingertips, and the sporadic sound of firecrackers outside the courtyard wall made the night of Chinese New Year's Eve no longer quiet, and the occasional blooming purple and red in the night sky in the distance replaced the bright moon and stars tonight.

With a bang, a fiery red flower bloomed in the sky, the sound shook the four wilds, the fiery red light illuminated the entire Chengping County, and the plum blossoms were also competing for beauty at this moment, and Jing Fei's face was red.

Jing Fei's eyes were half-squinted, and there were seven points of serenity and three points of confusion in his eyes.

It has been ten years since he came to this world, and the memory of the original world in his mind has become weaker and fainter, and Jing Fei has doubted more than once, whether the original world is just a dream, or everything is in a dream, or everything is real?

At this time, only when I think of Xiruo's appearance, the doubts will dissipate.

There was a stumbling in the house, and then there was the sound of footsteps out of rhythm, and a sturdy young man with hazy eyes and the smell of alcohol staggered out of the house and into the thatched house, and when he came back, he glanced inadvertently in the courtyard, only to find that there were people in the courtyard.

"Has the master and sister returned to town?" the young man asked.

The young man's voice was very clear, with a sense of vigor and confidence, it was Zhou Zhixuan who Jing Fei picked up when he was hiding from the assassination of the Sacrifice Palace, and even Jing Fei was not sure whether Zhou Zhixuan was dumb or not.

Zhou Zhixuan never opened his mouth when he followed Zhang Jingchang to practice boxing, and later Zhang Jingchang took Zhou Zhixuan away when he went to serve in Tianxiao Camp. Three years ago, when Jing Feiguoer and Yuan Chun came back, they were surprised to find that the originally speechless little mute was no longer mute, but had become a sunny and confident teenager.

Zhou Zhixuan called Master Zhang Jingchang and called Guo'er Senior Sister, but he never called Jing Fei who rescued him from the wild dog, but everyone could feel that Zhou Zhixuan was actually the closest to Jing Fei, but this child who had wandered in the wild since he was a child buried this emotion very deeply.

Another three years have passed, Zhou Zhixuan has sunshine and brilliance on his body, his figure is tall, and the muscles of his arms and arms are bulging, and he can't see the skinny appearance that he brought back everywhere.

Jing Fei snorted, turned his head to look at Zhou Zhixuan and said:

"After the Lantern Festival, I will go to the General's Mansion, where there are many talents, far from being comparable to the county town Wuweiwei, how are you prepared?"

The sturdy young man wanted to say that he would definitely go all out, and he couldn't live up to the teachings of his master and sister, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly changed his words:

"You are familiar with the General's Mansion, or you should consider it yourself!"

On the night of Jing Fei's official business this year, when Zhou Zhixuan chatted with his master and sister, the master once said, your senior sister's martial arts talent is first-class in the entire Hanyuan City, you have average qualifications, you can only work hardships, not that I favor my granddaughter, there are millions of martial artists in Hanyuan City, and most of the people who can survive the fame are extraordinary, if you can reach the level of Jing Fei's kid on the way to martial arts, you can be regarded as worthy of your master and my preaching grace.

He clearly remembered that his senior sister was holding the wine jug and said, Jing Fei, that guy is not me, I may not be able to win. He asked Senior Sister Jing Fei if she was so powerful? Senior Sister muttered a few words and quickly fell asleep on the table, he and the master only felt that Senior Sister was talking drunk.

In fact, he was also very curious about Jing Fei's strength, he knew that Jing Fei served in the Criminal Trial Department of the Divine Protector Mansion, and he was a figure as high as the sky, but he had never seen Jing Fei really make a move, and with the strength of wine, he said what he was looking forward to.

Jing Fei turned his body up and down to look at Zhou Zhixuan, and he said with a smile in his eyes:

"You kid didn't say that by the strength of his wine. ”

Then Jing Fei put the wine jug on the ground and stood up from the recliner, he left the plum tree and walked to the spacious place in the courtyard, stretched, and said:

"It's good to punch the strongest, so I'll consider what I've learned from Uncle Zhang over the years. ”

Zhou Zhixuan suddenly woke up most of the time when he heard this, he grinned and showed his white teeth, his eyes were full of light, and his fighting spirit instantly rose to the peak.

He hunched his back and bent over, and rushed towards Jing Fei in the courtyard with a sudden kick, and the domineering force under his feet lifted a palm-sized stone chip on the bluestone steps, and the stone chip spun, knocking off the corner of the table, and the strength was still undiminished, and finally smashed a purple-gold gourd hanging on the wall to pieces.

Jing Fei glanced at the steps, then at the table, and finally stopped at the only remaining gourd mouth on the wall, his expression was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched, it was a gift that Guo'er gave to him when he came back last time.

Jing Fei slowly raised his palm, and at this time Zhou Zhixuan had rushed in front of him, at this time, the battle intent and smile on his face were intertwined, like a calf that was happy, and then Jing Fei showed a very false smile, and then slapped it hard.

With a snap, the sturdy young man who was more than seven feet tall fell down in response, his eyelids rolled up, his mouth foamed at the mouth, his buttocks pouted high, and there was a clear palm print on the left side of his face.

Half an hour later, Jing Fei lay back in his chair, and Zhou Zhixuan brought a small wooden stool and sat next to him like a quail, holding a broken gourd in his arms, mending it with a soaked piece of paper, his face depressed and aggrieved.

After being busy for a long time, the gourd was finally sticky and complete, but the bottom of the gourd was missing, Zhou Zhixuan smiled awkwardly, raised his butt and ran into the house to look for it, Jing Fei saw that he didn't come out for a long time, and was about to say it, when there was a sudden snoring sound in the house.

Jing Fei sighed, remembering the moment when he just picked up Zhou Zhixuan, he didn't think Zhou Zhixuan was cute when he was a child.

It has been three years since he entered the Criminal Trial Division, and in the past three years, Jing Fei has seen the scenery that is difficult for ordinary people to see, and he has also endured dangers that ordinary monks cannot experience in their lifetime.

It is customary for newcomers to the Criminal Trial Division not to be assigned to perform official duties alone, and they generally follow their seniors to assist in finishing up some things that are icing on the cake.

The first incident that Jing Fei dealt with was the murder case of a disciple of the family, and it was said that this kind of case should not have been sent to the Criminal Trial Division, and it was usually handled by the local government.

The interesting thing about this case is that it involves two families, the ancestors of the two families are famous, and one of the families has also produced a powerful figure in recent years, working as an errand in the city lord's mansion of Hanyuan City, and his status is not low.

The Huang family and the Xu family were originally world friends, and the son of the Huang family and the young lady of the Xu family had close contacts between the two families, and they had no guesses about their childhood sweethearts, and the parents of both sides decided on the marriage early.

On the day of the wedding, the whole Huang family was full of joy, the bride and groom worshipped the world and toasted from table to table, the Huang family and the Xu family even if they rested in the whole Hanyuan City are also the number one big family, the relatives and friends who came to the wedding banquet were hundreds, and the bride and groom greeted relatives and friends until it was dark before returning to the cave room.

About an hour later, a scream alarmed the entire Huang Mansion, at this time most of the guests in the mansion had left, and the rest were relatively close, the person in charge of the Huang Mansion comforted everyone, laughed and confessed and hurried into the back hall.

Soon the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion came out of the back hall with a panicked face, at this time the people from the County Guard Mansion and the Divine Protector Mansion had not yet left, and the housekeeper walked quickly to the side of a few people and whispered, and the people from the two mansions glanced at each other, and entered the back hall with the official house with a serious expression.

At this time, the guests in the hall didn't know that something had happened to the Huang Mansion.

Walking into the back hall, a strong smell of blood came to their faces, and everyone couldn't help but speed up their steps.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, everyone came to the new house, and a broken corpse was lying on the ground, the reason why it was considered a corpse was because the bones of the person on the ground were twisted and broken in a strange posture, and none of the skin on the body was intact, as if something had exploded in its own body, and even a piece of the skull was lifted, and the blood, broken flesh, and broken hair were everywhere, like hell on earth.

The chief bookkeeper and other civil officials of the county government had never seen such a scene, and they vomited on the spot, and for a while the smell of blood inside and outside the house was mixed with the smell of vomit, and the smell was disgusting and strange.

The torture of the county government and the head of the Divine Protector Mansion walked into the house carefully, and preliminarily concluded from the size of the corpse and the remaining clothes on the body that the deceased should be Miss Xu, and the son of the Huang family sat on the bed with his feet on his feet, his clothes were torn and full of bloodstains, and there was a scalp with hair sticking to his head, and the Huang family's face was still frightened, and his eyes were also gone, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

Mrs. Huang next to her pulled her son's clothes, crying and shouting anxiously, but the son of the Huang family never responded.

The head of the Huang family turned pale, sighed and stomped his feet, such a thing happened on the day of great joy, and the red thing turned into a white thing, it was no longer as simple as losing face, until now the people of the Xu family were still stopped outside, and they didn't know what was going on in the inner hall.

The scene in the new house can be seen at a glance, but the two major families are involved here, and there are always many miracles in the cases involving monks, but what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth.

Everyone checked the body of Miss Xu's family, but there were several guesses, the only abnormality was that the house was too clean, there was no trace of spiritual yuan fluctuations, and there was no evil aura, so even the existing speculations could not be corroborated.

And the son of the Huang family seems to be really stupid, he still looks stupid after casting a few spells to calm his mind and concentrate, and the punishment of the county government casts the mantra spell used for interrogation, and the son of the Huang family just keeps saying that Qing'er is dead, my Qing'er is dead......

At the scene of the incident, there was no strong clue on the body of a person and a corpse, so he could only find the maid who listened to the room outside the new house, the maid was crying and crying with a frightened face, and the arrest was about to cast the spell of tranquility, and the head of the Huang family on the side stepped forward to slap him, and the tearful little maid was first blinded, and then looked up at the head of the family, and finally recovered a little consciousness under the power of the head of the family for many years.

When asked about what the maid had seen before, the maid trembled and said that the bride and groom were fine when they entered the new house, and the soundproofing ban was turned on after closing the door.

The young lady is an ordinary person, but her own young master has cultivation, and the maid only followed the custom to go through the motions when she came to listen to the room, so she didn't know what was going on in the new house.

It wasn't until half an hour later that there was an explosion in the house, and then the sound of tables and chairs toppling over, and the maid knocked on the door without knowing what had happened, but no one answered for a long time. The maid has followed the young master since she was a child, and she has long been secretly admitted to the room, and her courage is naturally a little greater than that of other servants and servants, she slammed open the door, and what greeted her was a miserable image on the ground.

The Governor of the Divine Protectorate asked again if she had seen any outsiders approaching, and the maid shook her head and said that no one had come except herself.

In fact, even if someone comes over, the little maid may not be able to perceive it, the distance between the front hall and the back hall is not far, and there is no shortage of third- and fourth-order cultivators who come to the guests, not to mention the arrest and the head of the Divine Protector Mansion, the head of the Huang family himself has the cultivation in the early stage of the Divine Refining Realm, and it can be found even if the ants are close to the new house.

It is no wonder that the head of the Huang family sighed and sighed with a sad face since he saw the scene in the house, and there was no outsider to interfere, so the crux of the problem was likely to be on the bride and groom, and the bride was dead, and the groom's suspicion became the greatest at this time.

It's just that now the son of the Huang family is stupid and stupid, and he can't ask anything.

The people of the two provinces also have a lot of means.

The soul asked the spirit, and the soul of Miss Xu was gone.

Divination is unhooked, and the heavens are chaotic.

The light and shadow go back, and it is dark.

Those who can do the latter two are either people with profound merits, or some special objects, everyone has already searched around the new house, and did not find anything suspicious, and they all glanced at the head of the Huang family quietly, and only the head of the Huang family present has merit and means.

The head of the Huang family still didn't know what everyone was thinking, and he couldn't hold back any longer, and scolded:

"Today is my grandson's happy day, my granddaughter-in-law died tragically, my grandson became a stupid person, what do I want, what is wrong with Lao Tzu is sick!"

Everyone was immediately embarrassed, and they all secretly recorded this scene.

The matter involved monks, and there was the Divine Protector Mansion walking present, the son of the Huang family was naturally taken away by the Kobe Mansion, the Huang family did not stop him, the iron law of Hanyuan City is above all else, to put it mildly, the Huang family, even the lord of the Divine Protector Mansion has to act according to the rules.

After the Xu family learned the news, except for Miss Xu's mother and several brothers and sisters, who cried fiercely, the others were calm.

The county government dispatched a large number of people to search all over the city, not only to search for suspicious people, but also to find out where the son of the Huang family and Miss Xu had been in contact with in recent days.

Miss Xu's mother couldn't bear it anymore, and insisted that it was the Huang family who harmed her daughter, and found the Divine Protector's Mansion to let her administer justice.

The county god protector was busy with this matter, and searched everywhere to collect evidence, but there were very few clues that could really be connected, and just a few suspicious points in the new house made it impossible to start.

Miss Xu's mother-in-law stood in the Shenhu Mansion and scolded, saying that Hanyuan City had raised a bunch of useless waste, which made the faces of the Shenhu Mansion extremely ugly.

Out of the Shenhu Mansion, this spicy woman did not say hello to her family, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion of Hanyuan City, and it was the woman's father-in-law, Miss Xu's grandfather, who was on an errand in the City Lord's Mansion. Seeing his daughter-in-law come to cry, the man just said with a cold face that the people of the Xu family would never die in vain, and someone would uphold justice.

The mother of the son of the Huang family was also anxious, seeing that her son had become stupid and stupid, and she was imprisoned, she also went to the Shenhu Mansion, but there was still no progress in the case.

Without waiting for the county god to report to the palace, the woman had already contacted the Criminal Trial Department through secret communication.

The Criminal Trial Department has its own rules, and it did not transfer the woman without authorization because of the woman's favor, and it was not until half a month later that the matter was reported to the court.
