Not many monsters were killed, but a lot of trouble was caused.
Especially Wang Liuzhi and his gang are all rogues.
Last night, there was an internal fight, people were beaten to death, and the dead people were divided up one by one. Each of them was taken to the Yamen, saying that they were monsters and wanted to receive rewards!
Lead your mother to be a bitch!
The last time I made an mistake, I caught a thief, and I could barely count it as meritorious. But this time, I actually killed innocent people by mistake. The person killed was Wang Liuzhi, the yamen servant, the "monster-killing hero" established by the county magistrate himself.
”.
Every one of these bastards is considered one of a kind. If they can't be killed later, they have to be assassinated and sent to the army.
Unexpectedly, after revealing their own mistake, they dared not to arrest him without restraint. Instead, they took advantage of the empty defense of the Yamen, injured the policeman on duty, and broke out of the Yamen.
Bo Ziyu wandered around for a day and two nights, and finally had time to squint for a while. Because of this stupid thing, he had to catch them one by one back to the Yamen with a pair of rabbit eyes.
"Tell me! Where are your two other accomplices hiding?"
Bo Ziyu kicked the prisoner until his nose and mouth broke. The prisoner took advantage of the situation and huddled in the corner with his head in his arms. The big tiger tattooed on his belly curled up like a sick cat, with tears mixed with nosebleeds flowing down his face:
"Master Cha, please spare his life. We didn't mean to kill him. It was all a misunderstanding."
Bo Ziyu's eyebrows were raised.
Nai Gong has not slept a wink for two nights. Is it a misunderstanding that he killed someone because of a fight with you?
He picked up the whip, but suddenly a yamen servant came over and whispered something in his ear.
Eh?
With a puzzled look on his face, he handed the whip to the prisoner next to him and said, "Give him some pain."
Walked away quickly.
…
The rain that fell last night has not stopped even today.
The courtyard of the government office was filled with the sound of rain.
Bo Ziyu's aunt, Xing Baotou's wife, was on the porch, listening to the sound of rain and seemed a little crazy.
She looked miserable. She obviously had an umbrella in her hand, and the wind and rain outside were not strong, but most of her clothes were soaked. Bo Ziyu was surprised and distressed at the first sight.
When he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he started hanging out with his uncle Xing Baotou in the Yamen.
The couple has no children, so they treat him as his own, and he also regards the old couple as his parents, who will provide for him until they die.
"Auntie, why are you here? Just send me a message if you have something to do. Why come here in person in the rain? But what happened at home?"
Bo Ziyu came out quickly, his tone half worried and half complaining.
My aunt opened her mouth, as if she was going to say something, but in the end, she just shook her head.
"without……"
Explained at the end.
"I just wanted to come and see you."
These words made Bo Ziyu feel very guilty. He was busy with official duties these days and had not visited his elders for a long time.
He hurriedly brought a towel, a small stove, and ginger soup, and asked his aunt to greet her, as if he wanted to pay off the debt at once.
Asked about the expenses at home, asked if there were any demons bothering her, asked how uncle was injured? My aunt just smiled and nodded, until...
"Uncle, how is his appetite these days?"
My aunt's body suddenly trembled.
"Tzuyu."
But he interrupted Bo Ziyu's chatter.
"Auntie came here this time to tell you something."
The aunt's expression was solemn, her words were like gears corroded by rain, and every word was sluggish.
Bo Ziyu couldn't help but shut the conversation and sat upright.
"Your uncle..."
ah!
A sudden scream pierced the sound of rain.
My aunt was so frightened that she trembled, and the words she was about to speak stopped at her mouth.
Bo Ziyu didn't take it seriously.
"Auntie, don't panic, just clean up the dirty bones in the prison..."
He gave an outline of the case in which Wang Liuzhi was mistaken for a monster by his companions and was beaten, killed and dismembered when he resisted. Hearing this, his aunt turned pale and couldn't believe it, and her voice trembled.
"How can you dare to kill someone just because you have suspicion?"
"You're just a rogue, but you're attracted by money, so what can't you do?" Bo Ziyu looked around and complained carelessly, looking at no one around, "In the end, it's all down to the old men being stupid and throwing money around like water.
, making everyone go crazy. If I contract the demon plague, I will wipe my neck as soon as possible to avoid being caught by those red-eyed guys, and at least I will be dead."
After hearing this, my aunt was stunned for a long time, and then asked an incomprehensible question.
"But before the transformation, the demon infected by the epidemic was just an ordinary person and had never harmed others. Why should he suffer such a bad fate?"
"It's bad luck for him. The reward list doesn't care whether he turns into a monster or not." Bo Ziyu knew that his aunt was kind-hearted, so she persuaded him, "Anyway, he will turn into a monster. Kill him early to avoid harming yourself and others."
"Isn't Taoist Feng from Shuiyue Temple working on an antidote?" my aunt asked unwillingly.
Bo Ziyu shook his head.
"I see Xuan."
Although he has always been convinced by Daozhang Li, he is not that interested in Daoren Feng.
"The culprit behind the scenes has been locked up in the mountain, but there has been no progress in these days. I don't think he will be able to change again. Rather than being locked up in the mountain and suffering from Taoist Feng's skin and cramps every day..."
Perhaps because he was too tired, Bo Ziyu didn't notice that the expression of his aunt opposite him was getting gloomy, and he just kept chattering to himself, until... in the rain curtain in front of the court, a government servant suddenly broke in, shouting loudly from a distance.
"Squad leader, found it!"
Found it?
He stood up suddenly and just took a step forward, but he froze. He looked back at his aunt and scratched his head, feeling a little frizzy.
"Auntie, what did you say about uncle just now?"
My aunt seemed to be in some kind of trance. After listening to the questions, she slowly came back to her senses and forced out a kind smile.
"Your uncle, I heard that you have done well recently, so I specially asked me to come over and tell you not to be arrogant, not impatient, and keep up the good work."
Bo Ziyu smiled broadly and patted his chest.
"I will never embarrass my uncle!"
After that, he said goodbye in a hurry, put on his raincoat and stepped into the rain, leaving his aunt alone in the official office, unable to speak.
…………
The heavy rain mixed the sky and the earth into one color.
Bo Ziyu, who arrived in a hurry, wiped the rain off her face.
In front of me is a remote and dilapidated courtyard under the wall. The front and rear of the courtyard have been tightly surrounded by government officials. There are even a dozen brothers lying on the wall, holding handfuls of clothes covered with raincoats in their hands.
The crossbow is strung and ready to go. (Harmony)
He arrested the policemen commanding the perimeter.
"What's going on?"
The policeman reported:
"Isn't the squad leader going to interrogate all the dung collectors in the city? This family has a rich man, and he is one of them."
"We went to his house to pick up someone, but unexpectedly, this guy suddenly turned into a monster and injured several brothers. Fortunately, we had many people with us and snatched out the injured brothers and blocked the monster in the house.
"
Bo Ziyu nodded, presumably those slaves on the wall were recruited as reinforcements later.
"Where is Daoist Li?"
"Just arrived."
"Where?"
"Going into the house."
The words just fell.
There was a "click" in the yard.
The window lattice of the house burst open.
A linen Taoist robe immediately rolled out.
The person hasn't landed yet.
A long shadow chased out of the dark window, stirring up raindrops and falling like lightning, and headed straight for it.
Although the former was in mid-air with nowhere to hide, he showed no signs of panic. He only twisted his body and pointed the long sword diagonally out of his hand. Without any subtlety, the latter had already sent himself under the sword.
Phew.
The splash of blood was instantly extinguished by the heavy rain.
The two fell into the muddy water in the courtyard at the same time, and only then could everyone see clearly what they looked like.
Needless to say, the former one in a Taoist robe is naturally Li Changan; while the latter is a giant python wrapped in black scales and as thick as a girl's waist. What's even more shocking is that the giant python moved seven inches forward and was covered by a
What the sword pierces through the brain is not a snake head, but a human head with disheveled hair and a ferocious face!
Although they had been mentally prepared, seeing such a monster with the head of a human and the body of a snake, the officials at the wall still trembled in their hearts, and almost couldn't hold the crossbows in their hands.
It was hard to suppress my heart palpitations.
Hiss~
The greasy voice came from the house, like a poisonous snake coiling around the neck, causing goosebumps to appear on one's skin.
Just saw it.
At some point, five vicious faces appeared behind the broken window, faces spitting out long snake messages.
The next moment.
The remaining window lattice burst suddenly, and five snake monsters broke through the rain curtain, biting the fishy wind with their sharp and long fangs, and chased the Taoist priest who was still in the muddy water.
They know how to advance, retreat and attack together.
One song lags behind, and the other four snake demons strangle each other from four directions. No matter how skilled they are, they are extremely difficult to resist with lightning and flint.
Fortunately, Taoist Li never cared about the master's demeanor. He immediately rolled out like a lazy donkey and let the four monster heads eat a mouthful of mud. He jumped up again and picked up the big leather bag that he had prepared in the yard earlier.
The shield just covered the body.
boom!
With a dull impact, two fangs pierced the shield. The Taoist priest wrapped his robe around it to contain the sprayed venom.
Before covering your mouth and nose.
"put!"
Under the raincoats lurking in ambush on the wall, there were faces that were either nervous or excited. When they heard the sound, they subconsciously pulled the trigger.
Boom ~ rustle.
The bow strings are continuous, and thousands of arrows are fired.
Just like the strong wind splashing into the chaotic rain.
…
The last snake demon fell into the mud under the arrows.
Li Changan used his shield to push away the corpse.
"Okay, the monsters are all dead, come in."
The government officials immediately cheered and rushed into the courtyard, each taking care of the scene and collecting physical evidence. Li Changan took off his Taoist robe and hid under the eaves with Bo Ziyu. Each of them grabbed one end of the Taoist robe and twisted the mud on it.
In the courtyard, an agent familiar with the area was examining the body of the snake demon.
He picked up the dead demon's heads one by one, wiped the mud on the snake demon's face with his sleeves, looked at it carefully... and suddenly exclaimed.
"It's him, Qian Si! He is indeed a monster."
There was infinite joy in his voice. It was not that he had any deep grudge against Qian Si, but that everyone understood that the fact that "Qian Si was a monster" meant that Li Changan had another piece of ironclad evidence for his speculation; it also meant that as long as
Grasping the clue of Qian Si and finding out the family where he usually "collects feces", you can find out the lurking monsters; of course, it also means that solving the case, receiving rewards, and making a fortune are not far away.
"great!"
Bo Ziyu even clapped his hands and laughed. He didn't even bother to help the Taoist priest twist his robe, and asked loudly:
"Where are the other dung men and night-scented women in the city?"
"A few of them can't be found, and the others are all in the Yamen."
"It doesn't matter. Those missing ones are probably monsters, so we'll just investigate them all."
The dawn was right in front of him, and Bo Ziyu was so happy that he wished he could fly back to the Yamen immediately to interrogate the dung man and the night scented woman.
"Do you want to go to the Yamen together, Taoist priest?"
Li Changan gently wrung out his Taoist robe, shook it out and hung it on the broken window.
"You go first."
He stared at the corpse of the snake demon half submerged in the muddy water.
"There are still some things I haven't figured out yet."
…
The government officials had already cleaned up and evacuated the scene, but Li Changan was still lingering in the small courtyard.
He looked around the yard repeatedly and finally determined that this yard was the house where the two of them took refuge for the second time in little Amei's dream, and just like in the dream, this family turned into six monsters with human heads and snake bodies.
Everything is like the cat demon last night, consistent with the dream.
The first time was a coincidence, but what about the second time?
Li Changan couldn't help but fell into a strong sense of absurdity. A vague thought in his mind that had been quieted began to rise again, with stronger momentum, making his mind feel trance-like.
When he regained consciousness for a moment, he was already in a small boat and rafting along the waterway.
He raised his eyes and looked around.
Heavy rain pours over the city, but it can't hide the prosperity, peace and refinement on both sides of the winding waterway.
Purple vines and green willows, stone bridges and bluestone alleys shrouded in water mist, leisurely pedestrians taking shelter from the rain, hanging railings and tiles full of joyful silk and bamboo... It is prosperous and rich, beautiful and pleasant, but there is an inexplicable sense of it.
A strong sense of dissonance.
The Taoist priest thought carefully, but his mind seemed to be covered with a layer of cloth, making it difficult for him to think clearly.
He looked at the misty rain all over the city.
What exactly is wrong?
…
The case is progressing smoothly.
Just as planned, the families that Tao Si and other missing excrement collectors were responsible for were quickly interrogated and compiled into a booklet, which was handed over to Bo Ziyu.
With this list of children, the scope of investigation has been greatly reduced. It can even be said that the elimination of evil spirits is just around the corner!
He couldn't wait to open the book and read it line by line.
However.
The pupils shrank suddenly.
His eyes were fixed on the last line of the booklet.
