the emperor's man catches ghosts

"What happened here?" King Heng was taken aback, before he could react, he saw a figure beside him, and Xiao Changli jumped out of the window.

The blood splattered like a splash of stench, and the man held his throat and could only make a gurgling sound. Xiao Changli got closer and found that not only blood was vomited from his mouth, but also a kind of red worms, which were densely packed in the pool of blood, non-stop. creep.

Just as Xiao Changli drank away the crowd, the man's body twitched violently, he threw himself at him, and vomited a puddle of blood from his mouth.

Xiao Changli flicked his sleeve to block the blood on his face, but a few drops still splashed on the back of his hand.

He could clearly see a few small red worms wriggling in the blood and trying to drill into his flesh, and immediately bounced them away with luck, took off his coat and covered the man's head completely so that he could not spurt blood again.

When the man died completely, the officer arrived.

Tao Zheng from Lu Liangzhi County watched the horrific scene, covered his mouth and nose and refused to approach him, and wanted to order the yamen to carry him away. Xiao Changli said, "Wait a minute."

Tao Zheng glanced at him: "Who are you? This person's blood is spattered here, but it has something to do with you?"

Xiao Changli didn't answer his words, but frowned and said: "The cause of this person's death is strange, my lord will quickly order someone to verify his identity. No one can move his body and burn it on the spot."

"Nonsense." Tao Zheng frowned, showing contempt on his face, "Since a murder case has occurred, an autopsy is naturally required. How can we know the cause of death if it is burned like this? How to solve the case? Ignorant young people, let's get over it."

Xiao Changli pointed to the blood stains on the ground: "My lord, please take a look."

Tao Zheng glanced at it, then looked at it again, rubbed his eyes, and said in horror, "This...what is this?"

"Voodoo and Gu kill people invisible, so we must guard against them." Xiao Changli said, "My lord needs to check carefully before anyone gets close to this person, especially if the person is splashed with blood. Immediately arrest and isolate him, and ask a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. "

Tao Zheng weighed it for a while, thinking of Shi Ying, which is adjacent to this place, he was afraid for a while, so he hurriedly asked someone to fetch a torch, and burned it in a hurry, because there was still time to check his identity.

All the clerks started to work, Xiao Changli returned to the restaurant, and handed Susu over to King Heng to take care of him: "Please take care of the prince, leave as soon as possible, and the next official will go first."

King Heng nodded, they all realized the seriousness of the situation.Only Su Suru was in the fog and wanted to go after Xiao Changli, but King Heng held him back and smiled to seduce him: "Uncle, there are still cakes here, do you want to eat?"

Xiao Changli bought a horse and hurried back to Shi Ying on the main road, when suddenly the horse hoofed and neighed, as if frightened, it stopped and turned around.Xiao Changli managed to restrain himself, and looked at the boy in white who was standing on top of a tree in front of him.

The young man had picturesque features but was aloof and indifferent, looking down at him without any fluctuation in his eyes.

"Witch Gu is just a low-level thing in Xuanmen forbidden art. It is not difficult to get rid of it. Fire is the most convenient, but once it gets on, people are considered useless." Han Ziyu shook the few people kneeling in front of him. He shook his head, expressing his helplessness.

The firewood piled up more and more, and surrounded the person lying on the ground vomiting blood and moaning, crying loudly.

They are still struggling, but no one dares to rescue them.

Only one day after the outbreak of the appalling disease, it was like a purgatory on earth.

"Besides this, is there really no other way?" Yun Yu frowned, burning people alive, even if the situation forced him, he really couldn't accept it.

Han Ziyu said helplessly: "This Gu is fierce and kills anyone who touches it. If it is not killed in time, no one in this area will be able to escape."

How could Yun Yu not know the benefits and harms, she frowned and remained silent.Liu Yuanzhi beside him couldn't wait for someone to throw the torch, fearing that it would hurt him.

Seeing the fire gradually rising, Yun Yu couldn't bear to look away, and said to Han Dong: "Where is Xiao Changli, he hasn't come back yet?"

Han Dong was taken aback for a moment, seeing that this person was young and handsome, he even dared to call the county magistrate by name, wanted to reprimand him a few words, but was frightened by that superior demeanor, and finally said obediently: "No, everywhere They can't be found."

Yuan Zhan said: "Master, this place is ominous, let's go."

Yun Yu shook her head without saying a word, a little bit of fire was projected in her eyes.

Suddenly there was a long hiss, and a horse rushed forward, and the body on the horse flew into the firewood pile like a rainbow, kicking the burning firewood out, preventing the fire from spreading.Because the materials were just obtained locally and the wood was not completely dry, the fire was not strong at this time, which won him a chance.

"Who gave the order to disregard human life?" Xiao Changli stood resolutely, his gaze blazing.Liu Yuanzhi trembled all over and shrank back.

Han Ziyu stepped forward: "Could it be that Mr. Xiao has a better way?"

Xiao Changli ignored him and turned to check the villagers on the ground.There are dozens of villagers, their complexions are blue and black, and their eyes are protruding. It can be seen that there are bloodshot eyes in the eyes, and there are red bugs looming.Occasionally he coughed up blood, and no Gu worms were found in the vomited blood, which was similar to those who died in Luliang County, but it didn't seem that serious.

Liu Yuanzhi tremblingly said: "My lord, the art of witchcraft is the most vicious. If it spreads, our entire county may be destroyed."

"Yes, my lord, it's better to burn it immediately." Zhao Lin covered his mouth and nose and said.

Many villagers on the side also agreed, and few people would think it was worthless to exchange a few lives for the safety of the whole county.Yun Yu watched from the sidelines, he wanted to see what decision Xiao Changli would make.

Xiao Changli did not speak, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and fed the water in the bottle to several villagers, one of them grabbed his hand excitedly, calling for help with a trembling voice.

Seeing the man's bloody hands grabbing Xiao Changli's wrist, the audience gasped.

Xiao Changli didn't care, he comforted the villagers, and ordered them to be carried to the ancestral hall in the east of the city to rest for a while, so that the county officials could gather.The onlookers dispersed, leaving nothing but a mess.

Han Ziyu said: "It turns out that my lord has an expert to help me, so I naturally look down on my trick of disregarding human life."

Xiao Changli looked at him and said firmly, "They haven't been poisoned deeply yet, and they can be rescued. Mister must be aware of this."

Han Ziyu shrugged: "I know, it's just that I don't have the elixir of Tingyun Temple, so I can only use this stupid method."

Xiao Changli didn't speak any more, and walked up to Yun Yu: "My lord is frightened, please return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Yun Yu said: "When I want to leave, I will naturally. Xiao Changli, as a parent of a county, you don't think about the people first, where did you go this day?"

Xiao Changli lowered his eyes: "King Heng has arrived."

Yun Yu's expression changed slightly: "Second Brother? He... Where is he?"

"Temporarily living in Luliang County. Young master, can you go to see me?"

"No need." Yun Yu swallowed secretly, and waved her hands if she saw the spitting Xingzi who would make her face angry, "The matter here is urgent and cannot be delayed, the safety of the people of the county is tied to you, but There is no room for recklessness.”

"My minister, please remember."

Yun Yu looked at the blood on his hands, and asked, "Is there something strange?"

Xiao Changli said: "It's fine. This Gu has not yet been developed, and it will not leave the host body yet."

Yun Yu nodded, winked at Yuan Zhan, and walked away with her hands behind her back.Xiao Changli led the horse and followed slowly.

At dusk, there was no one in the field, and the trails in the fields were not very easy to walk. There were some muddy places, and it was very uncomfortable for Yun Yushen to walk.

Xiao Changli brought the horse over: "Young Master, please get on the horse."

Yun Yu insisted, "No need."

Xiao Changli came over, put his arms directly under his arm, and lifted him onto the horse before Yuan Zhan was about to make a move, his movements were crisp and neat.

Yuan Zhan was taken aback, but Yun Yu was also incredulous.

How could he have thought that Xiao Changli, who has always been upright and polite and never violated the rules, would do this. When he came back to his senses, he was already sitting on the horse, looking at Xiao Changli who was holding the rein in front of him, he didn't know how to react for a while .

By the time he figured out how to react, he had already gone half way.

"Xiao Changli, do you dare to commit the crime?" For some reason, Yun Yu lacked confidence when she said this.

Xiao Changli said indifferently: "My minister is guilty."

Yun Yu didn't know what to say, feeling a little depressed.But I have to admit that riding a horse is indeed much easier than walking, so let's not argue with him for now.
