one step closer to the end

"Haha~ The female family members in my family are fun enough, so I don't need to go to that kind of place..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and waved his hands, but Hu Xiancheng said again: "At first glance, you are just a baby. What's so interesting about the servants in the family? Have you ever played with a seventh-rank female magistrate or a sixth-rank female flying knight? As long as you have enough money, Jiaolefang can satisfy you!"

"Will the female magistrate county also be thrown into the teaching music workshop? What kind of crime is this..."

Zhao Guanren was really taken aback. He knew that women in the Dashun Dynasty could also be officials, but they were not big enough, and there were quite a few female soldiers in the army. Never expected to be abused like this.

"I lost the battle in the court, and I was implicated..."

Hu Xiancheng raised his hands and said: "The female magistrate of Baichuan County is not wronged. A rich county forced her to squeeze her into a poor village, and she still raised a male favorite in the mansion. As a result, the backer of the court fell, and there is no need to play with men." It’s a waste of money, and everyone plays with her with lanterns!”

"My lords! The small courtyard ahead is..."

Li Dianshi drew out his steel knife and walked into an alley. The yamen servants were welcoming them with kerosene lamps. There were already a lot of people kneeling on the ground in the small courtyard. , the scene is similar to modern anti-pornography.

"Bitch! If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you alive..."

Song Chizhu walked into the house and yelled, a woman with disheveled hair was kneeling on the ground, raised her fat face with a bruised nose and swollen face, and cried, "My lord, please forgive me! I have never cast poison in the well, but just killed some disobedient people by accident. Girl, it's really not me!"

"Slave status is not something you can kill if you want, and there are still several lives, so you just wait to die..."

Song Chizhu kicked her to the ground, ordered her and the turtle slave to be escorted, and led them into the backyard.

"Come out, come out! Come out quickly..."

The dog trainer was lying at the mouth of the well to call his police dog, holding a rope in his hand and preparing to hang the dog up. As soon as Song Chizhu walked over, he heard a "crash", and a black shadow suddenly jumped up.

"Ah~"

The dog trainer fell to the ground with a scream, only to see that his dog threw him to the ground and crushed his head with a "crack". With a hard kick on the ground, the whole person jumped into the sky in an instant.

"I go!"

Zhao Guanren raised his head in shock. Song Chizhu was actually quite good at kung fu. He jumped up to a height of five or six meters like a big fat pig. The ferocious dog immediately jumped under him and threw the weak Liu The master threw himself down and bit off his arm with one bite.

"what!!!"

Master Liu let out a miserable scream, and the servants hurriedly raised their bows and crossbows to shoot. Unexpectedly, the vicious dog did not die after being hit by seven or eight arrows, but pounced in the courtyard extremely fast.

"Run!"

A large group of officials were all frightened, hiding and flying, Hu Xiancheng even jumped on the roof in a panic, only Song Chizhu was powerless, fell from the air and sat on the ground, He let out a miserable howl, which happened to attract the crazy vicious dog.

"Save me!"

Song Chizhu saw the vicious dog rushing towards him, he was so frightened that he rolled and fell twice, and he forgot all his good martial arts. As a dog, I watched the vicious dog pounce on Song Chizhu.

"Pfft~"

suddenly!

A long straight knife shot across the air, pierced the vicious dog's body, and nailed it to a big locust tree. Zhao Guanren shot it like a sharp arrow, and pulled out the knife with a decisive hand. With the knife raised and lowered, he easily chopped off the head of the vicious dog.

"My lord! Are you all right..."

Zhao Guanren helped Song Chizhu up with a smile. Song Chizhu's face had turned blue from fright, and he kept trembling in gratitude.

"Oops~"

Hu Xiancheng ran over and praised: "Mr. Zhang is so handsome, it seems that you are really a talent with both civil and military skills!"

"Stop talking nonsense, shoot the dead man quickly..."

Zhao Guanren quickly pushed him, and everyone noticed that the vicious dog had turned into a dead body, while the injured Master Liu let out a low growl, and crawled up crookedly like a cramp, his face covered with terrible black bruises. Blood vessel.

"Shoot him! Shoot him dead..."

Hu Xiancheng suddenly hid behind a tree. As expected, kung fu has nothing to do with courage. Song Chizhu even hid behind Zhao Guanren like a girl. The yamen servants have also changed.

"What a disaster! Run away..."

Song Chizhu suddenly turned his head and rushed out of the courtyard, but just as Zhao Guanren sneered in his heart, he suddenly saw Li Dianshi soaring into the sky.

"Bang~"

Li Dianshi violently threw the two squad leaders onto the roof, pierced their chests with both claws at the same time, and forcibly dug out their hearts.

"Fuck!"

Zhao Guanren was stunned at once. No wonder Song Chizhu ran so fast. Li Dianshi, who is in charge of the prison, is the number one master in their yamen. — Get up!

Chapter 0426

Zhao Guanren finally saw the fighting power of the Dashun Dynasty. When he knocked on the gong, hundreds of folk masters jumped out and chopped up Li Dianshi, who had turned into a corpse. It's easy for Minai to take the head.

"If the people on Earth have such awesome fighting power, the dead will be able to rush back to their hometown..."

Zhao Guanren was sitting at a wonton stand on the side of the street smoking a cigarette. Kerosene street lamps were already lit on both sides of the road. Hearing the sound of clappers, it should be seven or eight o'clock in the evening. It seemed that the curfew would be at nine o'clock, but both sides of the road were surrounded by people eating melons. the masses.

"Go, go! Don't watch the excitement..."

Song Chizhu and Hu Xiancheng came out of the alley, drove away the owner of the wonton stall, and sat next to Zhao Guanren, both of them lit a special cigarette, and took a few puffs with frowning faces.

"Master Zhang! This is a disaster..."

Song Chizhu mourned and said: "One night, a chief bookkeeper, a canonist, nine servants and a small dog died, and a few old bustards and turtle slaves were arrested to confess their crimes. I'm afraid I can't be fooled, my official If we don't give an explanation, our black hats will be hard to protect!"

"You can't escape this crime of oversight..."

Zhao Guanren nodded and said: "Such a big event may alarm the emperor, and whoever is involved will die, I will not dare to protect you, I am afraid the best result is exile!"

"We are grasshoppers on the same rope..."

Hu Xiancheng said anxiously: "Mr. Zhang! The corpse was found in your old house. You can't explain this kind of thing at all, but we know that there is an expert behind you. You should quickly ask him to think of a way, otherwise the emperor will take it." Let’s kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys, even if everyone’s head is not guaranteed!”

"You two! As long as you seize the opportunity, a crisis can also turn into a good opportunity..."

Zhao Guanren said: "What is corpse poison? Plague. Once this kind of corpse plague spreads, it will end in the destruction of the country. It is obvious that spies colluded with foreign enemies and wanted to cut off the lifeline of my Dashun Dynasty. Fortunately, the three of us discovered it in time. , strangled the treachery in the cradle!"

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it..."

Song Chizhu slapped his head suddenly, and said: "I see, that old bustard must be harboring spies from the enemy country, trying to harm our land of fish and rice, and trap us in Dashun's hinterland, but... this matter needs to be dug deep, otherwise, how much money will you pay?" A small shrimp is nothing!"

"I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with Lantai's sophistication..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hands and said: "The corpse plague must not be sloppy. I am responsible for finding the source of the corpse plague. As for the secret agents lurking in my court, dead people can't speak. The two of you will hand over a few first to stand up and wait for the evidence to be ready." After that... whoever is taller will bear the thunder!"

"Well! It makes sense, it makes sense..."

Song Chizhu nodded with a deep expression, and Hu Xiancheng immediately said decisively: "Li Dianshi! He has been in the frontier for many years and knows the situation of both the enemy and us well. He must have been bought by Xiaojiguo with a lot of money, otherwise why would you lure us?" Come to this place of death!"

"It's him! Go and steal his house now..."

Song Chizhu jumped up aggressively, completely ignoring the feelings of his former colleagues, and Hu Xiancheng even drew out his knife as if he was about to kill.

"My lords, don't worry..."

Zhao Guanren pressed his hands and said: "The above will definitely send imperial envoys to investigate this matter. I don't think the Banyue Gate may be the source. You can arrange a reasonable identity for me. I will check it out tomorrow morning, otherwise it will be bad if I make mistakes in my busy schedule." !"

"Don't worry about tomorrow morning, the state capital will have to come tomorrow morning..."

Song Chizhu took out a waist card and handed it to him, and said, "Mr. Zhang! Let me wrong you for a while, and you will temporarily take the post of Dian Shi. After you are a hero and a good general, I can tell the higher-ups that you will take someone to investigate now. Now, we must find out the source before dawn!"

"Tsk tsk~ Dian Shi! This official name is really unlucky..."

Zhao Guanren took the badge with disgust on his face, got up and said: "Please tell the people in the city, after the well water is brought up, you must let the chickens and ducks taste it first, and boil it before drinking it if it is not poisonous. Empty, idlers are not allowed to approach!"

"Young Master Zhang is really thoughtful, I'll leave it to you here, we have to catch the spies..."

Song and Hu ran away in a hurry, not to catch some spies, they must be looking for the blame man.

"Hehe~"

Zhao Guanren put on his waist badge and smiled heartily, walked into the Banyue Gate swaggeringly, called the team leaders to announce their identities, and walked into the backyard proudly.

"Don't move the corpse for now, sprinkle quicklime around it, and the old bustard will bring it over..."

Zhao Guanren brought an oil lamp to the well and found a lot of rubbish floating at the bottom of the well, but the well water was only one foot deep, and it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, but there was only one horizontal well passage, which should lead directly to Zhang's ghost house .

"My lord! I really didn't do it..."

The old bustard knelt down crying and put on the heavy wooden shackles.

"How many girls did you throw down, when did you throw it..."

Zhao Guanren put down the kerosene lamp and squatted in front of her. The bustard sobbed, "There are three or three in total. In fact, if I don't beat them, they will die. They are already very sick. I'm helping them end their pain!"

"Put your mother's fart..."

Zhao Guanren slapped her with a big mouth angrily, and said angrily: "I will break your legs to see if you are in pain. If you dare to talk nonsense, I will throw you down too. Answer my question honestly. How many times were the corpses thrown?"

"twice!"

The old bustard mourned, "The first girl was about half a year ago. Later, two girls fell ill and tried to escape by stealing my money. I broke their legs in a fit of anger, and they died that night. About Four days ago!"

"Three days? Isn't that the first two days before I came..."

Zhao Guanren scratched his chin, and asked, "How long have you been here, do you know anyone nearby who is like yours, the well is dry, and you haven't thrown any other corpses before?"

"No! I've said all three, and I'll admit it together..."

The old bustard shook his head and said: "I have been working here for more than a year, and I have to pay the regular money every month. When I bought this yard, the well dried up. There are only a few households on this line going east, and there is only a little water in the well. , it is possible that they poisoned and drifted into our courtyard!"

"Boss!"

Zhao Guanren got up and asked, "Is there any girl around here who can wear silk? If it's a corpse thrown into a well, how long will it take for the silk on her body to rot into strips?"

"It depends on whether there is water or not. The well is very humid, and it will be rotten in ten days and half a month. If the well is dry, it may not rot in a few years..."

The team leader replied: "However, there are no wealthy households around here. Small merchants and peddlers dare not wear silk if they have money. There should be only two houses nearby if they can afford silk. Advocating excellence, these two places are not good people!"

"The bustard is in jail, waiting for interrogation..."

Zhao Guanren picked up the oil lamp and went out. If the madam didn't lie, the two girls who were autopsyed tonight belonged to her, but there were two other female corpses that he melted away. more than half a month.

"It should have happened in the past half a month, but why did you crawl to Zhang's house..."

Zhao Guanren walked out of the small courtyard thoughtfully, and called a few government servants to search the dry well along the route. The bustard should be right, there was corpse poison in other people's wells, and the corpse of the girl she threw down had changed. The same is true of the two girls.

"Open the door, open the door! The official business..."

Yamen servants knocked on the door from door to door. The people living in this street are ordinary people. After watching the bustle, they knew what happened. They cooperated very well and asked them to check the dry wells, but most of them turned into garbage wells, and the wells were not straight.

"My lord! There is nothing dirty in the well in this house..."

The yamen servant called Zhao Guanren into a house, and Zhao Guanren took out a piece of silver, threw it to the host and said, "Catch any chicken, duck, goose, and a small bowl!"

"My house has not been poisoned, my stinking well has been useless for several years..."

The host went to the backyard full of complaints, and Zhao Guanren ordered someone to bring up some sewage. After the host caught a duck, he asked someone to feed the duck with a bowl of water.

"Look out! If the corpse turns into a corpse, shoot it quickly..."

Zhao Guanren stared at the duck with piercing eyes, but the duck fell to the ground without saying a word, foaming at the mouth and twitching non-stop, but in the end it didn't turn into a dead body, but kicked its legs and died directly.

"died?"

Zhao Guanren was surprised and said: "Could it be that this corpse plague can't infect poultry? Check to see if there are any wild cats or mice nearby, catch two and come over to test the poison!"

"I have a kitten at home, fifty dollars..."

The male owner hurriedly brought another kitten. In fact, Zhao Guanren liked kittens very much, but in order to investigate the case, he could only be cruel. After throwing a bunch of money to the other party, he walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"Meow~"

A ferocious meow suddenly sounded, from the sound one could tell that the kitten's corpse had changed, but the team leader quickly ran out and said, "Master! The little yellow cat's corpse has changed, but two dead mice floated in the well again, It seems that corpse plague is only transmitted to humans and livestock, and birds are poisonous if eaten!"

"Rats are not birds. Hurry up and deal with them, and shovel off the blood on the ground..."

Zhao Guanren put his hands behind his back and his face was serious. It seems that this corpse poison is relatively mentally retarded. Small things will directly poison them to death, while large things will make them lose their minds. I can't stand it.

"go!"

Zhao Guanren tossed a few more taels of silver and bought a cage of ducks from the male host's house. He continued to search along the dry water river, and finally came to Guanyue Pavilion, the largest brothel in Lantai County.

"Tell the old bustard to come out and scan the yellow..."

Zhao Guanren walked to the gate in a serious manner, but more than a dozen yamen servants were confused, he coughed lightly and said: "Rectify the morals, if anyone dares to trade in flesh and blood, I will arrest them all. This official hates those who force people into prostitution the most." bitch!"

"My lord! This is Xie's business..."

The head of the class whispered: "Master Xie has a concubine, Mrs. Xie can't tolerate him, so Mr. Xie paid her to open this brothel. Although it is a concubine's business in name, most of the money goes to Xie. Home, they pay people regularly every month, it's not easy to check!"

"If you can't find out the famous hall tonight, you will definitely be exiled for thousands of miles. If you don't believe me, just try..."

Zhao Guanren immediately glared at him. The team leader gulped down in shock when he heard the words. A government official was thrown down from upstairs.
