Chapter 248: Beat the horse and whip, steal the corpse and get caught
So Budu chose this place to practice the "Seven Yin Absolute Body" because the baby girls here had no way of survival, so he could buy a few without being discovered.
"Then why can we enter the city? Isn't there a sister within three generations of our group?"
Shi Jinzhong shrugged and said: "It stands to reason that when you enter the city, there will be a fortune teller to tell your family fortune, but the last fortune teller died of illness ten years ago, and the vacancy has not been filled yet. As you can see, Yinling
The people in the city are all on royal rations, including the city gate guards. They have never cared much about their jobs, and letting a few of them go will not delay their payment.
"Actually, it's normal for Yinling City to be short of manpower. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to serve as both an officer and an executioner by myself. I've just put on my official uniform and haven't looked pretty for a while, but I'm about to pick up a knife to kill people. Alas.
”
Seeing that Zhou Shi was silent, Shi Jinzhong became more active and asked: "Master, I'd like to ask, are you going north?"
"...Yes."
"Oh, this place is not far from the capital. It's all a big road. But I would like to remind you that there have been a lot of evil spirits on this road recently. No matter how powerful you are, it's better to be careful."
This reminded Zhou Shi that he might know something close to the capital that Yu Heng didn't know.
"Do you know 'Second Sister-in-law'?"
"Yes, yes, that's what I want to say." Shi Jinzhong quickly added.
"Then tell me, what is this evil spirit capable of and how to deal with it?"
"I heard from Old Liu Tou that this 'Second Sister-in-Law' is very scary. It is said that it once made people in a village cut off their own tongues, and was also used to torture prisoners. It is more effective than the tiger stool and pepper water. Uh.
, but Lao Liutou couldn't explain what the "Second Sister-in-law" is capable of. He only said that if you meet the "Second Sister-in-law", you must remember to answer whatever it asks you. If you lie or don't answer, it will stay with you.
But as long as you put a few copper coins in your mouth, it will go away naturally."
"This thing also takes bribes..."
Seeing that the mystery of Yinling City had been solved and there was nothing more to ask, Zhou Shi stood up and said goodbye.
"Master, please go slowly. If the master stays in the capital for a long time, if there is any need for a villain..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the house.
"Where is Shi Jinzhong, the beheaded official of Yinling Supervisor?"
"Oh!" Shi Jinzhong jumped up in surprise at the shout, "There's someone coming from above! Master, please stay here for a while, I'll go out and deal with it."
He rolled up his official uniform and draped it over his body, and rushed out the door in embarrassment.
"The official is here!"
Zhou Shi clung to the wall and looked out through the small hole in the wall. He saw two official servants riding on tall horses. Shi Jinzhong faced them and explained shakily:
"How is this possible? I personally ordered it..."
"What's missing is what's missing! You hurry up and take people to search. If you can't find out before dark, you can follow me to the Yin-Suppressing Division to plead guilty!"
"Yes, yes..."
When the sound of horse hooves was too far to be heard, Zhou Shi walked out of the shabby house and saw Shi Jinzhong kneeling on the ground dejectedly.
"What's going on?"
"The four prisoners who were beheaded today...one body is missing..." he said blankly, "If we can't find it before dark, I will be finished..."
Why is this happening again...
"Big tree, go look around."
"Yes."
The big tree quietly appeared next to Zhou Shi, turning into a ball of essence and spreading around.
The tree spirit's detection ability can cover the entire Jiangdu City, and this small Yinling City is certainly not a problem.
"On the north side."
Zhou Shi nodded slightly, patted Shi Jinzhong on the shoulder and said:
"I'll come back as soon as I go."
He walked to a secluded place where no one was around and took out the witch-faced opera painting from the iron abacus.
"Let me think about it, the one who runs fast should be——"
The flowing colors in the witch-faced opera paintings were fixed on his face, turning into a martial artist's facial makeup.
He stretched out and twitched his hands, his left arm bent in front of him to protect him, and his right hand raised high, holding an illusory riding crop.
"Eh-er——"
A horse neighed from underneath him, and there was the sound of horse hooves, as if he was really riding a horse!
This thing is really easy to use...
"Drive!"
"Eh..."
He stepped forward, and as soon as his body fell, there was a sound of wind in his ears, and the scenery on both sides retreated rapidly - he was galloping like a horse!
"Drive! Drive!"
As he beat his horse and whipped his whip, his speed became faster and faster. This feeling is really addictive!
"Turn left and then right, that person is right in front!"
After following the guidance of the big tree and turning several intersections, a figure appeared at the end of the road - a man carrying a package as high as a person!
"That's him!"
The man was trudging forward with his package on his back when suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from behind. He was startled and fell to the ground as soon as his feet softened.
But when he looked back, there was no official officer riding a horse. It was just a man with facial makeup comically imitating a martial artist riding a horse on the stage.
"Grandma, it turns out she is a lunatic..."
He spat, only to find that the man was rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, the distance between them was only ten feet!
"No, it's a person from the Tao!"
Before he could respond, the man flew past like a gust of wind.
Ah, aren't you here for me?
"Go back, go back! You stupid horse--"
He turned around and saw the "horse-riding" martial artist rushing all the way to the next intersection, pulling the non-existent horse in a panic.
What is this grandson doing?
He was surprised, but immediately became vigilant: I have never seen this method before, and I don’t know which door it is from, so why not explore him first?
"Friend, how about an incision?"
On the other side, Zhou Shiyin lost his martial arts face, changed his face to the face of the little catcher in Sun Qianfeng's team, and said:
"No need to talk dirty, I'm here for the stuff."
He pointed at the huge package that fell on the ground, and a pale and curled hand poked out from a corner of the package, knowing that it must be a lost body.
The corpse thief gritted his teeth and said, "Friends, we are all on the right path, why should we make things difficult for each other?"
"Leave your things behind and you can leave. I won't embarrass you."
"Bah!" Unexpectedly, the corpse thief reacted quite violently, and his eyes turned blood red, "The government's lackey is really difficult to deal with, I will fight with you!"
Zhou Shi has always been wary of his methods. After all, judging from the dirty words he said, it seems that the other party is also a member of the outer sect.
But I didn’t expect that he didn’t use any means and just rushed towards Zhou Shi with all his teeth and claws!
Although it was unexpected, there was nothing special about this man's fists and kicks. Zhou Shi saw the opportunity and stretched out his fingers to tap on his body twice, causing him to collapse softly on the ground.
So weak? What is this guy doing? Originally thinking of just grabbing the body back, Zhou Shi, who never cares about other people's business, also became suspicious.
After all, what value can the headless corpse of a death row prisoner have? Only those in the outer sect can use it for some purpose - certainly not for serious purposes.
But this corpse thief doesn't seem to know any tricks. What is he doing with the corpse? Maybe he is hired by someone? But looking at his desperate attack on Zhou Shi who has already shown his tricks, it doesn't look like he is doing it for money.
What does it look like?
"Let me ask you, why did you steal the body? Did someone instruct you?"
Seeing how the corpse thief was still struggling to stand up even though his acupuncture points were pressed, Zhou Shi added: "If you have any difficulties, you can also speak out."
"You dogs..." The corpse thief opened his mouth and spit out dirty words.
Suddenly, he flicked his arm, and a nail and a little man made of straw appeared in his hand.
"Go to hell!"
He roared angrily and drove the nail into the villain's eyebrow!
