Shi Shuangliu was at Xu Zhiqiong's house, under the supervision of Chang Decai.
Chang Decai's short sword was always placed across Shi Shuangliu's neck, never leaving it for a moment.
Seeing Xu Zhiqiong entering the house, Shi Shuangliu cried softly: "Brother Xu, you, please save me, he, he wants to kill me."
Cheng Decai said fiercely: "Little hooves, shut your mouth. If you speak out again, you will be killed!"
Han Chen looked at Chang Decai blankly and murmured: "This is truly a heavenly being, truly a heavenly being."
Chang Decai was very beautiful, more beautiful than any woman Han Chen had ever seen.
Xu Zhiqiong introduced to Han Chen: "This is a confidant of mine. My name is Chang Dejuan, Miss Chang. This is Dr. Han, and she is my friend."
Chang Decai stared at Han Chen and looked at him without saying anything. Just as Han Chen was about to step forward to salute, Xu Zhiqiong signaled Chang Decai to leave quickly.
"Doctor Han, please see how Miss Shi is doing. Miss Chang has other important matters, so I will send her away first."
The two walked out of the yard, and Chang Decai whispered: "Master, don't be deceived by this little hooves. Don't look at her pretending to be honest, but she can be very fierce when she attacks. Our arm almost hurt her!"
"Don't worry, I'm sensible. You should find a place to hide first. Han Chen is a master of yin and yang. Don't let him know your identity."
After sending Chang Decai away, Xu Zhiqiong returned to the courtyard, only to see Han Chen standing there silently in a daze.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Doctor Han? Brother Han? Let's see if this woman is half-possessed."
"Uh, centipede, centipede," Han Chen looked at Shi Shuangliu as if he hadn't woken up, and started to be in a daze again.
"Brother Han, what's wrong with you?"
"That Miss Chang just now, is Brother Xu's confidant?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "It's a close friend."
"What kind of confidant are you?"
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned: "Why did Brother Han ask so carefully?"
Han Chen lowered his head and whispered: "I miss me, Han, who has been wandering for half my life..."
"Brother Han, what do you mean?"
"Nothing?" Han Chen laughed dryly and said, "I see that Miss Chang's body is a bit cold. She must have suffered from wind chill. I want to help her diagnose her pulse. The wind chill can be big or small. If she is really sick, it can be delayed.
No."
Is that cold air? That is the Yin energy of the dead souls!
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Don't worry about Miss Chang for now, let's take a look at Miss Shi first."
"Okay, Miss Shi, what happened to Miss Shi?"
You have lost your soul!
"First look at the centipedes on Miss Shi's body!"
"Yes, Centipede," Han Chen looked at it for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Brother Xu, I have something to say that I don't like, so I asked shamelessly. If Miss Chang is Brother Xu's lover, Han will never do it again.
One more question, if we are just friends, Mr. Han, Mr. Han..."
How could Xu Zhiqiong not know what he was thinking: "Brother Han, don't worry, when this matter is settled, I will introduce you to him."
Once you get to know each other, don't regret it.
"Thank you Brother Xu," Han Chen looked at Shi Shuangliu with a happy face, "This Miss Shi is very good, she should have no symptoms!"
"Who told you to look at the disease? Look at the centipede! Look at the centipede! Do serious things first!"
It took Han Chen a while to get his soul back. He felt Shi Shuangliu's pulse, rubbed his cheeks, touched his throat, and whispered: "Hidden so deeply, it really is a bloody jaw!"
"Can you get Bloodjaw out?"
"It's difficult. The half-possessed centipede is the most difficult to deal with. You have to find the mark first and break the mark before you can expel the centipede!"
Han Chen took out a packet of medicinal powder and said, "Miss Shi, take this."
How could Shi Shuangliu be willing to eat? Han Chen said impatiently: "I am saving you, not harming you. Do you want to eat it or not?"
This is obviously different from his attitude towards Miss Chang.
Xu Zhiqiong said from the side: "Eat it, Doctor Han is here to help you."
Not to mention, Shi Shuangliu listened to Xu Zhiqiong's words, opened his mouth and swallowed the powder.
Not long after, Shi Shuangliu felt hot all over, sweating profusely, and a coiled centipede pattern appeared on his red cheeks.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Is this Blood Jaw?"
Han Chen shook his head: "This is not the Blood Jaw, this is the mark that seals the Blood Jaw. Miss Shi, who left this mark for you?"
Shi Shuangliu looked confused and said: "What mark, I don't know!"
Xu Zhiqiong frowned: "If it leaves a mark elsewhere, you can just say you don't know it. How can you not know the mark left on your face?"
"I really don't know!"
"If you don't tell the truth, I will hand you over to Miss Chang."
"Just beat me to death. I just don't know. Don't let that evil man torture me again."
Han Chen asked: "Has anyone touched your face recently?"
Shi Shuangliu looked at Xu Zhiqiong, but she didn't talk to Han Chen.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "If Dr. Han asks you something, just answer it quickly."
Shi Shuangliu said: "I received a lot of beatings in the yamen and jail, including a lot of slaps on the face."
Shi Shuangliu was already possessed by the centipede before she was caught in the Yamen, otherwise she would not have been able to kill a family of fifteen.
This matter must have nothing to do with the Penal Department Yamen.
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "Going further, did anyone touch your face before the accident?"
"I really can't remember this."
"Think about it carefully. First, did anyone touch you on the day of the accident?"
Shi Shuangliu remembered it now: "On the day of the accident, I was slapped more than ten times by my father. Of course he had touched me."
Her father gave Shi Shuangliu a blessing and planted centipedes, and then killed himself?
This is outrageous.
It doesn't make sense.
"Who else but your father has touched me?"
"My mother also touched me. My mother hugged me to protect me."
Her mother couldn't bear the abuse, so she planted poison on her daughter, and the whole family perished together?
It's logically possible, but logically it doesn't make sense.
Her mother is capable of cultivating voodoo, why should she be bullied to this extent by her father?
"Who else besides your mother?"
Shi Shuangliu thought for a moment and said, "There is also Zhang Jiugu."
"Who is Zhang Jiugu?"
"He was a customer of ours. He always came to my father's place to buy cloth. He was familiar with our family. That day he entered the yard and saw my father beating me. He went up and cursed my father, kicked him and spat on me.
My father didn't dare to say anything with spit on his face, and Zhang Jiugu even rubbed his face for me.
After Zhang Jiugu left, my father said that I had offended him, so he beat me to death. My mother came up to stop him, so he beat my mother. When my sister cried, he beat my sister. I couldn't help it.
I started fighting with him, and during the fight, I suddenly fell asleep and didn’t know anything anymore..."
Xu Zhiqiong can guess the rest.
The blood-jawed centipede took control of Shi Shuangliu, killed his entire family, and drained the blood, leaving no trace of blood behind.
She put the body into the woodshed and was supposed to escape immediately, but Shi Shuangliu's consciousness suddenly returned. This silly girl went to the Ministry of Punishments to report the matter to the police. The witnesses and physical evidence were conclusive, and she was taken to death row.
The Bloodjaw Centipede was extremely bloodthirsty, so it was naturally restless on death row and killed several guards and death row inmates.
Later, the Bloodjaw Centipede used some unknown method to control Shi Shuangliu to escape from the Penal Department Prison, and happened to meet Bai Denglang Shichuan.
Fortunately for Shi Chuan, Shi Shuangliu regained consciousness and turned into a weak woman without the power to resist. He took advantage of her and was arrested by Zhang Deng Yamen.
And the source of all this is this Zhang Jiugu.
"Do you know where Zhang Jiugu lives?"
Shi Shuangliu nodded and said, "She has been doing business with my family for several years. She set up a stall to sell fabrics in Xiji, and her family is also in Xiji."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "It seems that we have to go to Zhang Jiugu's house and have a look."
Han Chen nodded and said, "I'm going with Brother Xu, but I don't know what to do with this girl."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "I will leave her to Chang Dejuan's care first."
Han Chen heard this and said: "Since Miss Chang is coming, it's better to stay here and decipher the mark for Miss Shi, while Brother Xu goes to investigate Zhang Jiugu alone."
What an infatuated man.
Even if it’s your intention, I won’t fulfill it.
Xu Zhiqiong called Chang Decai and continued to watch over Shi Shuangliu, forcing Han Chen to go to Xiji with him.
According to Shi Shuangliu's description, the two quickly found Zhang Jiugu's stall.
I thought Zhang Jiugu was a woman in her fifties or sixties, but she looked to be in her early thirties, wearing heavy makeup and very charming.
If we look at him through the eyes of his sinful karma, we can see that his sinful karma is less than two inches, and he does not seem to be a bad person.
Looking at the cultivation base again, Xu Zhiqiong found that Zhang Jiugu had a fifth-level cultivation base.
Could it be that she is a fifth-grade Gu sect cultivator?
A fifth-grade Gu sect cultivator dares to sell cloth on the street?
Isn't she afraid of being discovered?
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Han Chen.
Han Chen shook his head slightly. He didn't notice the smell of Gu.
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and asked about the price: "How much does this blue cloth cost per foot?"
Zhang Jugu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have good eyesight. This is fine cotton. You can feel how thick the material is and the color is even. It's getting late and I'm in a hurry to close the stall. This material is cheaper for you. Thirty cents
One foot, do you like it?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "Thirty cents per foot is still cheap? Let's go to the stall in Beiyuan and ask around. Twenty cents per foot is everywhere."
"My lord, what you are saying is just a joke. Where is Beiyuan? What are they selling there? You buy eight feet of cloth and make a robe. It won't last a year, and the color will fade away. What's the point?
It is full of holes, and the cloth is rotten. It is just right for a beggar to wear. Not to mention twenty coins, even if it is sold to the slave family for five coins per foot, the slave family will not want it.
I think you are really discerning. You must be a person of high status. Listen to me, only good materials like this are worthy of you. I think you are cheaper, twenty-seven cents per foot, but you can’t let it go anymore.
Well, my family has been exposed to the wind and sun all day, and finally I found someone who knows the goods, so you can complete this business for my family."
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "You're so sweet-talking, just give it a try."
This is an authentic businessman from the capital city, and there is no hint of southern Xinjiang accent in his speech.
Where did she get the Blood Jaw Gu species? It is the most precious heretic Gu species.
After buying the cloth, Xu Zhiqiong went to a deserted place, took out the hidden mirror, hid the two figures, and went to Zhang Jiugu's house.
The yard of her house is not big, with a total of three rooms. The main room is for the master, a side room is for the servants, and the other is a warehouse where all kinds of cloth are stored.
Two long-term workers were taking care of the warehouse, and Xu Zhiqiong and Han Chen quietly entered the main room.
The furnishings in the main room are very simple, including a bed, a desk, a dressing table, and a few boxes for clothes.
Xu Zhiqiong sniffed around and found nothing unusual except for the scent of rouge.
Han Chen took out the Yin-Yang compass. The compass didn't move, and he couldn't find the breath of the Gu insect.
The two of them searched the room for a long time. Xu Zhiqiong suddenly heard footsteps outside and quickly signaled Han Chen to stop, and the two stood quietly by the wall.
Zhang Jiugu walked into the yard and called two waiters: "Has anyone been here?"
The waiter shook his head and said, "No one has been here since you left."
Zhang Jiugu said: "Zhao Liu, you go to the warehouse to work. Sun Qiao, you go to the market and collect the stall for me."
The two clerks went to work respectively. Zhang Jiugu closed the door and sat silently on the bed for a while, murmuring: "What are the backgrounds of those two cloth buyers?"
This woman is so perceptive that she actually suspected us.
Xu Zhiqiong and Han Chen held their breath and stood against the wall.
Click!
The compass in Han Chen's hand suddenly moved, and the pointer made a sound, pointing outside the door.
This sound was heard by Zhang Jiugu. She looked towards the wall and was about to walk over when she suddenly saw the door being pushed open.
Zhao Liu, who was supposed to be working in the warehouse, walked in and looked at Zhang Jiugu with bright eyes: "Shopkeeper, I have fallen in love with you for a long time. I really can't help it. You can do it while Sun Qiao is not here."
Let me."
The smell of blood hit his nose, and Xu Zhiqiong smelled a familiar smell.
This Zhao Liu is not greedy for Zhang Jiugu's body, but her blood.
He has blood-jawed centipedes on his body, sixth-grade blood-jawed centipedes.
But why wasn't it discovered before?
Is it also half-attached?
Zhang Jiugu showed no fear, looked at Zhao Liu with a charming face, and said softly: "Mr. Zhuang, are you crazy about greed? Come here! I'll feed you until you're full!"
Zhao Liu walked over with a smile, suddenly hugged Zhang Jiugu, exposed a pair of fangs, and came to bite her neck.
Zhang Jiugu did not dodge, but touched the back of Zhao Liu's head. Zhao Liu's strength was sucked away, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.
