Occasionally, the sound of dogs barking could be heard in the village, which seemed a bit harsh in the silent night sky.
A staggering man was walking on a country road, holding a wine gourd in his hand. He poured a sip into his mouth from time to time. The wine flowed down the corner of his mouth and soaked half of his clothes.
"Well, it's so noisy. Sooner or later, I'll kill you to make soup, and you'll be there screaming gurgling gurgling all day long!"
Wang Gu cursed angrily.
While talking, he took a few more sips of wine into his mouth.
suddenly.
He stopped, looked at a medium-sized stone in front of him, and suddenly kicked it forward hard. The stone was kicked far away, causing some slight noises.
"It's just money!"
"Wait, when I get rich in the future, I will kill you with money!"
After drinking some wine, the dissatisfaction in Wang Gu's heart eased a little.
But it didn't last long. When he thought about the debt from the gambling house, he became upset and angry again.
"belch!"
Burped.
When Wang Gu raised the wine gourd and poured wine into his mouth, he found that all the wine in the gourd had been drunk by himself.
Suddenly.
He swung the wine gourd toward the nearby woods and walked toward his home, shaking his head.
Suddenly.
There was fog on the path, making people's vision blurry.
Regarding this.
Wang Gu didn't pay much attention.
As he continued walking, he heard the sound of suona in his ears, as if someone was holding a happy event, or someone was holding a funeral.
"Strange!"
"Who is doing these things here at night?"
The sudden sound, coupled with the inner annoyance, made Wang Gu feel very dissatisfied.
"I want to see who is doing business late at night!"
He staggered away following the sound.
Not long after.
I saw a long procession in front of me. A big red sedan chair was carried forward and backward by several people, and others wearing festive clothes were leading the way.
The sound of the suona comes from there.
Looking at the wedding team, Wang Gu looked even more confused: "Who is getting married or getting married? I haven't heard of anyone in the village having a wedding event these two days!"
The village where he lives is not big.
The total number is only a few hundred households.
Whenever a family has a happy event, word of it spreads throughout the village almost immediately.
But.
Wang Gu rummaged through his memory, but he couldn't figure out which family had someone getting married or getting married.
Staggering as he stood there, he did not step aside, but rubbed his eyes, trying to see the scene in front of him clearly.
Just at this time.
The procession of welcoming the bride was getting closer and closer, and the sound of the suona gradually became a bit harsh.
By the moonlight.
Wang Gu clearly saw that every one of the people in the team was wearing festive red, and their faces were pale, their expressions were stiff, and their movements were unusual, like marionettes.
moment.
His body felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.
The initial drunkenness immediately made me sober up a lot.
"Yaoyaxie!"
Wang Gu trembled with his lips.
Although he is an ordinary person, in the Great Qin realm, even a three-year-old child is aware of rumors of evil spirits.
A strange scene before my eyes.
In line with the rumors of evil spirits.
Wang Gu was almost certain that the wedding team in front of him was definitely not human.
No hesitation.
He turned around and ran away.
However, his feet became weak and he stumbled to the ground before he could even take two steps.
At this time, the wedding team was getting closer and closer. When Wang Gu looked back, he saw that he was already surrounded by the wedding team.
Those people in bright red clothes all turned to look at him, their eyes staring straight at him, as if they were looking at a dead person.
A chill.
Uncontrollable surges from the bottom of my heart.
Wang Gu knelt directly on the ground, kowtowing desperately and begging for mercy: "Let me go, please let me go, I didn't mean to rush, let me go, let me go..."
The fear of evil spirits made his mind go blank now.
Only by kneeling down and begging for mercy can there be a glimmer of hope.
The sedan chair stopped.
The bright red curtain dyed like blood was opened, and immediately, a pair of embroidered shoes appeared in Wang Gu's sight.
Look up along the embroidered shoes.
boom
Wang Gu felt a roar in his brain, his face looked horrified, as if he had seen something terrible, and his body had stiffened.
The next day.
The capital of the country.
The big drum placed in front of the government office was beaten, and the vibrating sound immediately attracted the people around to stop and watch.
After ringing a few times.
soon.
The door of the government office opened, and a row of government officials walked out.
"Who beats drums so early in the morning to complain?"
"Sir, I have something to report to the official!"
"What does it have to do with?"
"Human life!"
The drummer looked barely calm.
When the leading yamen officer heard the word "human life", his face immediately became serious.
"You come in with me!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Suddenly.
The person who reported the official and a group of government officials went in, but the other two government officials were guarding the door of the government office to prevent anyone from entering without notification.
"mighty!"
Two rows of government officials held killing sticks and knocked on the ground in an orderly manner.
The person who reported the incident was so frightened when he saw such a situation for the first time that he knelt down on the ground.
at this time.
Wearing official uniform, he walked out of the back hall, came to the top and sat down. With a slap on the wall, the movement around him suddenly stopped.
"I am Guan Zuo, the prefect of the capital government. Please tell me who you are."
"The young one is Chen Erniu of Fengyun Village, I have met you!"
Qing Zhuang, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to lower his head and replied with a trembling voice.
"Raise your head and let me take a look."
Guan Zuo's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly.
Hear the words.
Only then did Chen Erniu dare to raise his head, showing his honest face.
Guan Zuo looked at the man lying down. His skin was dark and rough, obviously the result of years of exposure to wind and sun.
Immediately.
He patted the gavel again, with a calm expression: "You said there was a murder case reported to the police. I wonder what kind of murder case it was. Please tell me in detail."
When Wang Wu in the hall heard this, he didn't know what he thought of, and a look of panic appeared on his face.
But soon.
He thought about where this place was, and the panic disappeared, replaced by calmness.
Swallowed.
Wang Gu said respectfully: "Your Excellency, someone discovered a mummy this morning. As far as we know, the mummy was a person from our village. However, that person was fine yesterday, but today he has become a mummy.
Therefore, we suspect that there may be evil spirits causing trouble in Fengyun Village.
Therefore, the village chief asked Xiao to report to the officials, hoping that the officials could send people to Fengyun Village to eliminate the evil spirits!"
The evil spirits are making trouble!
As soon as the words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Guan Zuo's face was cold. He stared at the person below, always paying attention to the changes in his expression.
"Do you know what it is to spread rumors?"
"Every small sentence is true, and there is absolutely no lie. If you don't believe it, you can go to Fengyun Village and have a look."
Wang Gu bowed his head and kowtowed.
Hear the words.
Guan Zuo said nothing.
Today, he has a gloomy and uncertain expression on his face.
As the prefect of the capital government, Guan Zuo knew very well how serious the problem of evil spirits in Fengyun Village was.
Very simple.
Fengyun Village belongs to the capital.
The capital is the lifeblood of the Qin Dynasty, and it is guarded by strong men.
In the past, even if there were demons and evil spirits causing chaos in various places, they had never appeared within the confines of the capital city.
In the final analysis.
It's because the capital of the country makes those evil spirits fearful.
No matter how powerful the evil spirit is, it would not dare to run rampant in the capital, but if it dares to reveal its traces, it will be a 100% dead end.
But now.
There are evil spirits appearing in the capital, and people are also killed. The things involved are not that simple.
For a while.
Guan Zuo is also thinking about countermeasures.
The master standing beside him spoke in a low voice.
"Sir, if it is really caused by evil spirits, it must not be underestimated at this time. We must report it immediately, and then ask the people from the Demon Suppression Department to take action. We cannot solve this matter with the power of our government alone."
The problem of evil spirits is not small.
If one is not handled properly, it may cause greater trouble.
In his opinion, the most appropriate thing to do is to report the matter back and let the Demon Suppressor take action.
Guan Zuo pondered for a moment and already made a decision in his heart.
But just when he was about to speak, Chen Erniu, who was kneeling with his head lowered, suddenly rose up. His originally dark face turned pale and his eyes turned red at some point.
boom
His body was like a ghost, rushing towards Guan Zuo. The veins on his right arm were bulging, and the nails on his five fingers were swollen, heading straight for the critical part of his life.
Things happened so fast that all the government officials had no time to react.
Just when Chen Erniu's attack was about to come, Guan Zuo was furious, and a surge of true energy rose from his body, forming a body-protecting Gangqi explosion.
"How brave, even a mere evil spirit dares to come to my government office to cause trouble!"
An angry shout.
At the same time, he struck out with a fierce palm, sending Chen Erniu flying away.
Don't wait for landing.
Chen Erniu twisted his body and rushed outside the government office.
At this time, the other government officials reacted.
Guan Zuo's figure suddenly rose, and his angry voice resounded throughout the hall: "Everyone kills the evil spirit, and we must not let him cause chaos in the capital!"
When the words fall.
He has already disappeared into the lobby.
Seeing this, the government officials rushed outside one after another.
Outside the government office.
There were already many corpses lying on the ground. They were the people who were originally surrounding the outside, but were massacred by the evil spirits who rushed out.
Just as the opponent continued to kill him, Guan Zuo appeared, and a terrifying force fell from his body, hitting Yaoxie's body hard.
boom!!
A deep pit appeared directly on the ground, and the burly body of 'Chen Erniu' lay there like a puddle of mud.
The possessed demon had just escaped and wanted to escape.
But Guan Zuo didn't give him a chance at all. He stepped forward and struck another palm, killing the demon on the spot.
