I am drawing cards in Liaozhai
Chapter 27
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw that Hu Cheng had already embraced Feng An's neck very naturally, and said with a smile.
"Hahaha Brother Feng, we really haven't seen each other for several months. This time I also brought a little brother I met on the road. His name is Wang Sheng. The two of us hit it off immediately and chatted very happily along the way. Alas, I really can't bear to leave him here alone, so I come to you together."
Wang Sheng was still somewhat unaccustomed to Hu Cheng's speaking style, and he didn't know how he hit it off right away, but now it's not the time to worry about it, so he had to greet Feng An without any embarrassment.
Feng An looked very calm, he ignored Hu Cheng who was still half hanging on him, and smiled on his face: "You are welcome, Mr. Wang, please come in quickly."
The interior of the room is simple in style, without any decorations. It looks a bit dull, but it is very similar to its owner.
As soon as Hu Cheng came in, he said bluffingly: "What about the pot of orchids I gave you last time, why didn't I see you put them out? It's not me, your room looks too stuffy and unpopular, so it needs to be more diverse." Flowers and grass are the only ones that look good."
Feng An paused with a smile: "It's not that you don't know that I'm not good at raising those, so I gave them to others to raise."
Hu Cheng waved his hand and said: "Look at you, you keep a straight face every day, what can you feed to live? Raising a tortoise can scare the tortoise to death."
Feng An's face became stiffer when he heard this, and he forced a smile. He changed the subject directly: "San Niang didn't know you were here yet, so I asked her to cook two more dishes."
When Hu Cheng heard this, he immediately put his orchids behind him, and said repeatedly: "Prepare some good wine, I haven't had a chance to touch wine for a few days." After finishing speaking, he added: "My sister-in-law has been very busy recently. good?"
Feng An had already gone to the back of the house. Hearing what he said, he paused slightly and didn't look back: "Shang Ke." He left in a hurry without waiting for a reply.
Wang Sheng listened to them coming and going, unable to get in a word, and almost suffocated.These two people have always been aggressive since they met, and they don't seem to have a good relationship at all.
If he had known that it would be better to go to the Datong shop, Wang Sheng lamented in his heart.
Fortunately, Feng An's wife, Sanniang, was quick and quick, and she prepared a large table of dishes in a short while, with two jugs of good wine beside her.
As soon as Hu Cheng saw that there was wine and food, he didn't care about other things. He drank a glass with his eyes shining brightly: "Good wine, sister-in-law is virtuous, Feng An is really blessed."
Feng Anli stood aside with a stiff face and did not answer. His wife Sanniang was a very weak-looking woman. Hearing the words, there was not much joy on her face. She only glanced timidly at her husband's face, then lowered her head. Back to the kitchen.
In order to avoid suspicion, Sanniang could only eat alone in the small kitchen.
After the hostess left, Hu Cheng became more unscrupulous, and even Feng An relaxed a lot under the influence of alcohol. After a while, the two started talking and laughing loudly.
Wang Sheng didn't like to drink this tasteless rice wine, and because of his poor health, he didn't dare to drink too much, so he had to hold his chopsticks and listen to Hu Cheng's nonsense.
Hu Cheng didn't care that he talked to someone on the road once, he was crossing his legs, spitting and talking endlessly, while Wang Sheng couldn't leave the table because of his feelings, so he could only stare at the half braised fish on the table. drowsy.
Just when he stared at the dead fish eyes and was about to stare at the cross-eyed eyes, he was suddenly awakened by a vainly high-pitched argument.He turned his head and found that Hu Cheng and Feng An seemed to be arguing about something.
Feng An was also drunk at this time, and instead of being reticent before, his voice became louder: "Don't fool me, 100 taels of silver, haha, I don't know how much you can earn from the businesses you do. Got twelve taels?"
After hearing this, Hu Cheng's already flushed face became even redder, and he shouted, "Why can't I make money! Don't underestimate me!"
Feng An didn't answer, but curled his lips, showing a look of disdain to argue with him.That way, Wang Sheng felt that he was really begging to be beaten, not to mention the alcoholism.
He slapped the wine bowl on the table, hooked his hand, and took over an inconspicuous green leather bag that was placed aside. This bag was quite familiar. When Wang Sheng was with Hu Cheng before, he saw it. He has always carried this little burden in his arms quite preciously, and has never left his body.
I saw Hu Cheng pretending to be mysterious and lowered his voice: "Okay, since you have talked to this point, brother, I will show you." After finishing speaking, he lifted the burden skin, revealing the neat and tidy clothes inside. Qi Qi silver ingots.
Wang Sheng and Feng Anqi took a breath together.
It was the first time Wang Sheng saw so much money after he arrived here, and he was very surprised, but after all, how much Hu Cheng earned had nothing to do with him, so he was only surprised for a short time before returning to normal.
But Feng An couldn't hold back his face anymore. He stared blankly at the 100 taels of silver, and murmured: "This is impossible, you are lying, the small business you do can't make so much money at all." Silver, unless...unless you borrowed the money. I heard that your new brother-in-law's family is very rich."
Looking at Feng An's suspicious eyes, Hu Cheng was a little anxious, he suddenly picked up the wine bowl and took a sip: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth."
Hu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and made a very deliberate and vicious look: "I met a big businessman on the road yesterday, and there was a lot of property in that car. I didn't want to have the same knowledge as him, but who would have thought that he would dare to provoke you, Mr. Hu?" , as soon as I got angry, I threw him into the dry well near Nanshan!"
"I snatched these properties from him." After finishing speaking, he laughed, and made a gesture of raising and lowering the knife in his hand very cooperatively, his face was full of color.
Wang Sheng was almost fooled by him at first, but seeing his vicious expression that was obviously forced, after thinking about it in his heart, he realized that he must be drinking too much and talking nonsense.Nanshan is to the east of Jiangcheng, which is not in the same direction as Dingxi Town at all.
Alas, alcohol really makes people lose their minds.
But Feng An didn't seem to have thought of this, his face turned slightly pale, obviously believing the other party's words.
After eating and drinking, Hu Cheng gradually became drunk, knocked his head on the edge of the table little by little, and gradually fell asleep.Wang Sheng stayed with him all night, and he was exhausted. Seeing that Hu Cheng had finally collapsed with honor, he couldn't care less about anything else. He hurriedly said to Feng An, "Brother Hu is drunk, let's go tonight."
Feng An stared blankly and didn't know what he was thinking. After hearing Wang Sheng's voice, he seemed to suddenly come back to his senses: "Indeed, it's already so late, look at my way of hospitality. Go and rest , Sanniang has already cleaned up the guest room."
Seeing that Wang Sheng was going to help Hu Cheng, Feng An interrupted, "I'll do it."
Wang Sheng was not willing to help this stinking alcoholic at first, but he was happy to have a leisurely time, so he naturally didn't shirk it, and moved into the second bedroom under Feng An's guidance.
"Oh, I'm exhausted." Wang Sheng was so sleepy that his eyelids were clenched, he simply washed up, then lay down on the soft bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
The lights were still on, but needles could be heard in the room, and Feng An stared expressionlessly at his drunken friend at the table.
Suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps, and it was his wife Sanniang who came.
Seeing Hu Cheng sleeping soundly, Sanniang reminded her husband softly: "Feng Lang, you have to settle the guests."
Feng An's thoughts were interrupted, he glanced at Sanniang noncommittally, and said in a low voice: "No need, you go to rest first, I will clean up the rest."
Sanniang wanted to say something else, but she swallowed her words after seeing her husband's face. She was able to treat her husband with an odd personality like a guest in the past two years because of her ability to observe words and emotions .
Seeing that Sanniang finally left obediently, Feng An withdrew his gaze from her, turned his head and continued to look at Hu Cheng coldly, the lamp oil on the table was about to burn out, and the half-brightness and half-darkness of the candlelight reflected on his face, revealing An indescribable gloom came.
After a good night's sleep, Wang Sheng slept until dawn before waking up. He was refreshed, and the ailments in his body seemed to have left. He was in a good mood at the moment, and bid farewell to Feng An after cleaning up.
As for Hu Cheng who was still hungover, considering today's arduous task, Wang Sheng really didn't have time to wait for him to wake up.I just asked Feng An to convey it on his behalf, saying that he still has to look for someone today, and he will visit him at another day.
Hearing this, Feng An raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a half-yin smile: "Okay, I'll tell him when he wakes up."
I don't know if it's his own illusion, Wang Sheng always felt that Feng An's smile looked a little flimsy, he shook his head, laughing at himself from the bottom of his heart.
When I arrived in Jiangcheng yesterday, the sun had already set in the west, and I still couldn't see anything.When he went out today, Wang Sheng really saw the charm of the bustling ancient city. Compared with Jiangcheng, Dingxi Town is really not enough.
Jiangcheng alone can cover several Dingxi towns in terms of area.Along the way, all kinds of food and entertainment are dazzling, and there are many buskers on the side of the road. Those tricks are very exquisite. Some of them, even a modern person like Wang Sheng, can't see the mystery of them. Stop, it can be described as a feast for the eyes.
Looking for someone here was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He looked around all the way, and finally found a breakfast shop and sat down.
"Guest officer, what do you want?" As soon as he sat down, the attentive shopkeeper came up to greet him.
Wang Sheng stretched his neck and looked at the left and right tables: "Um, why don't you serve me a bowl of noodles." It seems that people in Jiangcheng love noodles, and there are bowls of noodles on everyone's table, which smells quite delicious.
"Okay. Guest officer, please sit down for a while and come right away."
"Wait," Wang Sheng came here to fill his stomach only secondly, and his main purpose was to inquire about news, "Brother, I came here to look for relatives, but I haven't contacted my family for a long time, and my family seems to have moved. I want to ask, if I want to find someone, where can I go?"
The storekeeper didn't think he was strange, and said enthusiastically: "We ordinary people don't know about looking for people, guest officer, you have to go to the yamen and ask the adults who are on duty."
Seeing that Wang Sheng was still hesitant, he added: "Our county magistrate Fei is a well-known good official, don't worry, guest officer, we will definitely be able to help you find your family."
Wang Sheng thought about it, and felt that this was indeed the best solution at the moment, so he didn't delay immediately. After eating the noodles, he asked the shopkeeper how to get to the Yamen, and then he paid the bill and left.
When he really got to the gate of the yamen, he became worried again.It's fine to lie to others before, but when it comes to the government, if you ask, you are obviously looking for Zhao Dalang, but your surname is Wang, isn't it obvious that you are fooling people.
Just when he was standing at the door in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Where are you waiting? Standing at the door of this yamen, but there is a case to be reported?"
Wang Sheng was taken aback and turned around quickly, only to see a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing behind him.He had a knife on his waist, and he was wearing a blue cloth gown. He looked like he should be a policeman in the Yamen.
But after hesitating for a moment, Wang Sheng said, "My lord, Wang Sheng, was instructed by someone to come here to look for someone. I don't know what your name is?"
The man frowned thickly: "I can't be called an adult, you can just call me Detective Zhao, since you want to find someone, you have to register first, you follow me."
Wang Sheng followed him step by step and walked in through the side door. Inspector Zhao didn't look like a talkative person, the two of them were silent all the way, and soon they came to a small room full of papers and books.
Detective Zhao quickly waved away the handyman who was sweeping the room, and sat down behind the table with a big horse: "Say, who are you looking for, name, where is the ancestral home, and who else is in the family? Come back in a week and I will let you know if there is any news."
Wang Sheng followed him and sat down opposite him: "The person I'm looking for is Zhao Dalang."
Catcher Zhao frowned, couldn't help but looked up at him, and continued, "Where's the ancestral home?"
Wang Sheng really didn't know where Zhao Dalang's ancestral home was, so he could only say, "I don't know, but I know his younger brother. His younger brother's name is Zhao Erlang, and he lives in Dingxi Town."
As soon as these words came out, Catcher Zhao on the opposite side suddenly put down the pen and paper, raised his eyes and said, "You don't need to look for it."
Wang Sheng couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, not understanding what it meant.
Detective Zhao quickly said in a deep voice, "I am Zhao Dalang."
Really, there is nowhere to look for when you have broken through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Wang Sheng was already prepared for a long-term battle, but he didn't expect that no one needed to look for him, so he came forward by himself.
Zhao Zhao quickly asked: "What are you looking for?"
Wang Sheng was at a loss for words for a while, Zhao Erlang was already dead, his original plan was to do the same thing as before, and melt the remaining qi nourishing pill into the well water of Zhao Dalang's house.
In other words, he was not prepared to face Zhao Dalang face to face, because even if he told others about the painted skin monster, he would probably only be regarded as a lunatic.
Seeing that Wang Sheng hesitated and couldn't speak, Zhao Dalang's expression gradually became serious: "What happened? But something happened to my brother?"
It's really worthy of being a fast catcher, to be so sharp.Just when Wang Shengtian and man were fighting whether to tell the truth, a small official suddenly came in outside the door.
"Captain Zhao, the county magistrate wants you to go."
Wang Sheng had a headache at first, so he hurriedly said goodbye when he saw this, "Since Detective Zhao still has official duties, I won't bother you for now."
Detective Zhao quickly stood up from behind the table, but ignored Wang Sheng, and only said to the clerk, "Qi Liang, you came just in time, I'll go to your lord first, and you lead him to my residence for me. Remember to be careful, don't let people run away, I still have something to ask him when I come back."
The little official named Qi Liang immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, I promise to take good care of you."
Talking about looking at Catcher Zhao with a pair of eyes, Wang Sheng rolled his eyes from the side, how are you?Am I still here?Would you like to ask my opinion too?
It's a pity that the other two people in the room didn't listen to his suggestion, so Zhao Dalang walked away on his own after finishing speaking.After the other party left, Qi Liang who stayed behind immediately took off the star eyes of his little fanboy, turned his head and changed his expression, and said dryly to Wang Sheng, "Let's go."
Wang Sheng: ...
Let's go, let's go, I'll go, you are all uncles, okay, I'm afraid of you.
Seeing that he was very cooperative, Qi Liang's expression became a little more relaxed. He was originally a person who couldn't keep his mouth shut, and it didn't take long before he started talking to Wang Sheng.
"If you say that our magistrate Fei is really a Bao Qingtian, the case that was so difficult to solve last time, guess what, he can tell at a glance that the person is not the murderer. And our policeman Zhao, that's really..."
Qi Liang opened his mouth to Fei County Magistrate, but closed his mouth to Detective Zhao, causing Wang Sheng's brain to buzz.
Just at this time, Wang Sheng caught a glimpse of Zhao Dalang turning around the street corner with a group of people aggressively, and hurriedly interrupted the disturbing behavior of Qi Liang's repeater: "Isn't that your arrester Zhao, what are you going to do? Prisoner?"
Qi Liang quickly stretched his neck to look, but he could only see the tail of a team. He retracted his head listlessly, smacked his lips and said, "Maybe, but no matter what the prisoner is, I believe that Captain Zhao can catch him." Arrested and brought to justice!"
The topic came back again, Wang Sheng only felt that even if Qi Liang recited the magic spell in his ear, it would be better than this, it really made his head bald.
All the way, Wang Sheng and Qi Liang finally arrived at Catcher Zhao's house.
In front of me is a small courtyard with a single family, which can be called elegant and quiet. There are still unknown green plants entrenched on the wall, which are hanging down heavily.
Qi Liang shouted at the door: "Sister-in-law Zhao! Please open the door! I am Qi Liang!"
After a while, there was the sound of thin footsteps inside, and the next moment, the door was opened, and a woman with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes came out of the room.
She looked pale, with black eyes, and coughed twice: "It's Qi Liang, what's the matter, did Da Lang ask you to come?"
Qi Liang's loud voice also softened a bit: "Captain Zhao asked me to come quickly, if it's nothing, you can go in and rest, I'm outside."
In fact, Mrs. Zhao had already noticed Wang Sheng's face, but she didn't want to ask more questions for a while. Seeing that Qi Liang took over the job of greeting people, she followed suit: "Then I will go into the house to take care of the child, you Feel free to."
Considering that it would be neither embarrassing nor embarrassing for him to go to other people's house, Wang Sheng didn't enter the house at all, but just pulled Qi Liang to sit down at the small stone table in the yard.
He originally wanted to get some news about Zhao Dalang from Qi Liang, but he didn't expect that this kid didn't know whether he was treacherous or stupid, and he didn't ask a fart for a long time, so he had to continue to accept his rainbow fart.
Fortunately, Qi Liang was very busy two days ago, and he was tired after babbling for a while, so he leaned against the stone table and fell asleep after a while.
Wang Sheng wanted to rest for a while too, but for some reason, he just felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt that something was not right.
I don't know if it's because the trees and vines grow so well and densely here, the whole courtyard always gives people a gloomy feeling.
He touched the cold back of his neck, fidgeted for a while, finally couldn't hold it back, wiped his eyes with two fingers, and said silently: open.
Suddenly, the world in front of him changed drastically, and the originally dark courtyard became even darker. Wang Sheng swallowed subconsciously, and raised his head a little uneasy.
Excuse me!You never know the full extent of things until you see them.My good fellow, the whole yard is actually shrouded in a very ominous black air.
Especially in the main house, it was simply enveloped in thick black air, and even the doors and windows were hard to distinguish.
No wonder that Mrs. Zhao looked weak, she lived in a place like this every day, so she looked good every day, Wang Sheng subconsciously went to knock on the system: "System, what's going on, you haven't detected such a strong evil spirit ?"
The system was rarely online, and he replied very dissatisfied: "This system has already given you the gold finger of yin and yang eyes. Why are you so unwilling to make progress and rely on the system for everything? Do you know how to write independently and self-improvement?"
"At the beginning, it was a novice benefit. As your level increases, your inspiration will become stronger and stronger. You don't need to open your eyes later, you can feel where there is a monster. Why are you so slow until now? This is really the worst thing I have ever brought. Bad year."
Being criticized by this irresponsible system, Wang Sheng was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and immediately cut off the communication with the system unilaterally.
Seeing the blackness in front of him, he was also depressed. How could this be done? Could it be that the deer was released to strike a thunderbolt? If it hurts passers-by, who cares? It's really worrying.
Wang Sheng's side is bald, and Hu Cheng's side is not so easy either.
He had a good drink last night, and after this sleep, he became unconscious.Who would have thought that when he was sleeping soundly, there was a sudden noise not far away, which directly woke him up, and accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the noise was getting closer and closer to him.
Hu Cheng was so angry that his sleep was disturbed, he closed his eyes and yelled, "What are you doing? Why don't you let people sleep!"
What responded to him was the door that was suddenly pushed open with a "snap", and a few hands forcefully dragged him off the bed.The originally chaotic mind finally woke up, Hu Cheng opened his eyes in surprise and shouted: "Who are you, don't you have the law of the king? How dare you force your way into a private house!"
A disdainful sneer came from next to my ear: "Open your eyes wide and see who is tying you up."
Only then did Hu Cheng realize that he was surrounded by people from the government, and he was even more shocked: "I didn't do anything, I just arrived yesterday, why are you arresting me!"
"Why? Why do you have to ask the county magistrate yourself, that's enough, stop talking nonsense and come with us!"
"Feng An! Feng An, you, please tell them, I just arrived yesterday, and I didn't do anything!" Hu Cheng looked around in panic, but it was strange that such a big movement, as Feng An, the master, has never been seen.
"Take it away!" It was Policeman Zhao who came to arrest Hu Cheng. As soon as he arrived at Fei County Magistrate, he was told that someone had reported that someone had killed people and seized money in Nanshan, ten kilometers away from Jiangcheng.
It was a matter of human life, so that he didn't even have time to think about Wang Shengdu's matter, so he rushed out to arrest him.
When he arrived at the yamen, Hu Cheng's knees hadn't touched the ground, and he had already started shouting for grievances.
"Master County Magistrate, I am wronged, I am really wronged!"
"I just arrived in Jiangcheng yesterday, what can I do. I beg your lord to find out!"
County magistrate Fei is a middle-aged man with a white face and a slight beard. Seeing Hu Chenghao's heart-piercing, his face was noncommittal, and he said calmly: "I have received a report saying that you have murdered people near Nanshan. There are hundreds of taels of silver."
Hu Cheng had long forgotten what he boasted about when he was drunk, and said in shock: "How dare I! I have never even killed a chicken! How dare I kill people!"
County Magistrate Fei shook his head and said, "It's not up to you whether you dare or not. The report I received was a real-name report. The informant said with certainty that you not only killed someone, but also threw the body into the dry well. But There is such a thing!"
Before Hu Cheng could utter a word of grievance, he was firmly pressed to the ground by the yamen servant behind him.
"Bold, this is the place where you make a lot of noise!"
Hu Cheng's face was deformed by the pressure, and he said tremblingly: "I really don't have one, please be clear...to check..."
The more he spoke, the more his voice trembled, and he was really scared out of his wits.
County magistrate Fei frowned slightly when he saw this, he was silent for a moment, and then had Hu Cheng, who was trembling, be detained.He rubbed his forehead and said, "Catcher Zhao... No, catcher Cai, hurry up, take someone to the vicinity of Nanshan Mountain, and focus on checking the dry wells nearby to see if there are any corpses."
Immediately, a tall and strong middle-aged man stood out from the crowd: "Yes."
After Detective Cai quickly left with his people, County Magistrate Fei turned his attention to Zhao Dalang: "I almost forgot that you have something to do at home, so I want you to go by the way. Oh, I'm really old."
Zhao Dalang clasped his hands and said, "My subordinates feel guilty, my lord has everything to do every day, and I still have to worry about my subordinates' affairs."
Magistrate Fei waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to worry about. Over the years, I have indeed seen many things that are difficult to explain with common sense. People must always be in awe to last long."
"Because of a case, I met a Taoist priest with some real skills. He also came to Jiangcheng recently. If you need it, I can introduce him for you."
Zhao Dalang hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll go back tonight to see the situation."
Seeing this, County Magistrate Fei didn't try to persuade him any more, he just told him to tell him if something happened to him, and sent Zhao Dalang home to be with his wife and children.
Finally quiet again, Magistrate Fei sighed softly while opening the documents on the case and flipping through them: "One or two don't make me worry."
When Zhao Dalang hurried home, he saw two idlers sitting in his yard, one lying unconscious on the stone table, the other staring at the vines beside him and sighing, he didn't know how his vines offended him him.
Wang Sheng, who was staring at the vines of an unknown plant in a daze, saw Zhao Dalang come back, he quickly got up and stood up, while pulling Qi Liang who was sleeping like a pig beside him.
Qi Liang was pulled so violently by him that he almost fell to the ground. He looked up furiously to scold, but he didn't expect to see Inspector Zhao just in time.
He laughed dryly and then stood up: "You are back, the work in the yamen is over."
"It's almost there. You can go back too. I'll trouble you today."
"No trouble, no trouble, then I'll leave first." Qi Liang was also a little embarrassed, and said that he would help Zhao Zhao to watch the person quickly, but why did he fall asleep first, and he might not know if the person ran away.
After Qi Liang slipped against the wall, only Zhao Dalang and Wang Sheng were left in the yard, looking at each other silently.
Wang Sheng was still concerned about the black air in the room, and was wondering how to speak to Zhao Dalang, but he saw that the other party spoke first: "Is it because of my brother that you are looking for me? What happened to him?"
Wang Sheng was startled, shit, how could he forget this.
If he directly asked Zhao Dalang whether he believed in monsters in this world, would he be treated as sick and sent to the government directly?
Seeing his tangled face, Zhao Dalang anxiously asked, "Did something happen to him?"
Stretching out his head for a knife, retracting his head for a knife, Wang Sheng said silently three times in his heart, family members also have the right to know, gritted his teeth and said, "Something happened to him indeed."
Although he had a faint premonition in his heart, when he was told personally, Zhao Dalang still felt an uncontrollable throbbing pain in his heart, he was silent for a while, and said with difficulty: "What happened? Was it injured? Or... dead? "
Wang Sheng couldn't bear to look at the other person's expression: "He's dead."
Zhao Dalang was silent again for a long time, and it took him a long time to force himself to speak, his voice hoarse and low: "...what's going on?"
Wang Sheng raised his head, looked into Zhao Dalang's eyes, and said solemnly, "I can swear that everything I said below is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood."
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Dalang's response, and directly told the whole thing about the painted skin demon and the fake Taoist priest.
"That's the way it is. He... he can also be said to be dragged down by me. I'm sorry. I really didn't know how to tell you at first. After all, these things are too shocking for others. I'm afraid to say And no one will believe it."
Wang Sheng calmed down in one breath, feeling a little more relaxed, but he was still a little apprehensive after all, and couldn't help looking up at Zhao Dalang's expression anxiously.
Suddenly being indoctrinated with this great knowledge, Zhao Dalang is obviously stunned. Although he has been a policeman for several years and has seen a lot of strange cases of all kinds, it is really the first time he has heard of such a thing that breaks through common sense .
"This... this is really..." Seeing that he was still in disbelief, Wang Sheng simply said to him directly: "Catcher Zhao, please find me a hidden place where no one is around. If you don't believe me, I can prove it." show you."
Zhao Dalang saw that his words were firm, although he still felt a little foggy, he still led him to a room full of sundries in the backyard as promised.
"No one will come here, how do you prove it?" Zhao Dalang has calmed down now, although he is still dubious in his heart, he has obviously calmed down.
Wang Sheng wants to prove that these things are true, but it is actually very easy. He just needs to show something beyond "common sense".
It was a cramped place, so he first cleared the debris around his feet to create an open space, and then meditated in his heart, summoning the deer.
As soon as Canglu came out, she was forced to face the big eyes of the two big men, but she had a docile temperament, so she didn't put her hooves on the spot.
Wang Sheng took the opportunity to touch her smooth fur, and said to the shocked Zhao Dalang, "This is a cang deer. I shouldn't have summoned it to show you, but I really can't think of any other way to make it look like a deer." You believe it."
"In the world, in the world, there really are..." Zhao Dalang really suffered a severe blow to his worldview this time, he stood there for a while before saying, "I believe it, I believe it, please take this lord... "
"It's Canglu." Wang Sheng reminded kindly.
"Master Cang... Canglu." Zhao Dalang began to stammer.
Seeing that his image of a cool guy at the beginning had completely collapsed, Wang Sheng had no choice but to put Cang Lu away dumbfounded.
This is also the reason why Wang Sheng summoned Canglu from the beginning, because she cannot be considered a demon in the strict sense. Canglu is a legendary spirit beast with immortal energy, and its impact on ordinary people is stronger than other monsters in his hands. The spirit is much bigger.
Now that Zhao Dalang has already believed it, the next words are not so hard to say. Wang Sheng just finds it troublesome, so he doesn't intend to do the stupid thing of throwing magic pills into other people's wells secretly in the middle of the night.
He directly took out the Yangqi Pill and handed it to Zhao Dalang: "This panacea is called Yangqi Pill, it has the effect of eliminating all diseases and prolonging life."
"Zhao Erlang helped me a lot before he was alive. I came here to look for you in Jiangcheng just to give you the elixir. Mrs. Guanzun in front of me is not looking very well. You can use this elixir for her. Use it yourself. It's fine, or you can leave it to your children."
Zhao Dalang refused and said: "I know the consequences of the past and the consequences. If there is a wrong, there is a debt. I know in my heart. You don't have to do this."
Wang Sheng ignored him, and directly stuffed Yangqi Pill into his hand: "Oh, I don't need it, so hurry up and take it."
Afraid that Zhao Dalang would refuse again, Wang Sheng quickly changed his serious expression, and said to him seriously: "Compared to this, I have one more important thing to tell you."
Sure enough, the other party followed suit and said solemnly: "Say it."
Wang Sheng said: "You or your family members, have you suffered from lack of energy, insomnia and dreams these days? Or let me put it bluntly, have you encountered any strange things?"
Zhao Dalang's face turned pale: "What did you see? There are also demons here?"
Wang Sheng knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it, and immediately said, "Did you notice something wrong?"
Zhao Dalang shook his head and said: "It's not me, it's my wife. She has been waking up every night since five days ago, unable to sleep, and kept telling me that there is something in the house. But I have been unable to get out because of a case a few days ago. In the yamen, I didn’t have time to go home until today.”
"Your wife is right, there is indeed a problem." Wang Sheng thought for a while and then asked: "How to deal with it specifically, I still have to see your wife."
After Zhao Dalang nodded in agreement, the two walked out of the narrow room together.
Mrs. Zhao was softly coaxing the child in her arms, but when she saw her husband came back, she hurriedly stood up from the chair, and a trace of blood appeared on her paper-pale face.
"Husband!" She saw Wang Sheng following behind Zhao Dalang, hesitated for a moment, and asked again, "This is..."
Wang Sheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Madam, don't worry about me, I just want to ask you a few questions."
Zhao Dalang took the child from her arms smoothly: "Don't be nervous, I invited him here, haven't you been sleeping peacefully for the past two days?"
Wang Sheng nodded and said, "That's right, Ma'am, please tell me what you have encountered in the past two days, as long as you think there is a problem, the more detailed the better."
Mrs. Zhao looked at his too young face with some hesitation, then looked sideways at her husband, and then said: "I have always seen someone in the past few nights, no, I am sure if he is people."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao's thin body couldn't help but tremble slightly: "He only appears at night, and I always wake up inexplicably in the middle of the night. He is standing on my bedside. I want to shout, but I can't. I can't move either. At the beginning, I couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman, but just yesterday, I saw that it was a man, but his face was very vague."
"At first, I thought it was a dream, and I didn't take it to heart, but now I can be sure that it's not a dream, I am, I really saw it..." At this point, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help crying up.
Zhao Dalang probably only knew that his daughter-in-law might have encountered something dirty, but he didn't know exactly what was going on. Now that he saw her panicked look, he also raised his heart.
He turned his head and asked for help, "I don't know if Mister can help you."
Since showing Canglu face to face, Zhao Dalang's attitude has become a lot more respectful. Wang Sheng actually opened the yin and yang eyes and looked around as soon as he entered the door, but he hasn't found the source of the black energy yet.
Afterwards, the voice of the system releasing the task also came from his ears. This time, before the system finished reading the narration of the task, Wang Sheng took it directly.
The system's voice paused, and it directly informed: "Congratulations to the host for successfully accepting the task "Zhao Dalang's commission". Please work hard and complete it as soon as possible."
Then the system was happy and relaxed, so it retracted skillfully.
Wang Sheng didn't notice that the dog system was fishing again this time, and all his attention was on the confrontation between Cai Cai and Mrs. Zhao just now.
"Hahaha Brother Feng, we really haven't seen each other for several months. This time I also brought a little brother I met on the road. His name is Wang Sheng. The two of us hit it off immediately and chatted very happily along the way. Alas, I really can't bear to leave him here alone, so I come to you together."
Wang Sheng was still somewhat unaccustomed to Hu Cheng's speaking style, and he didn't know how he hit it off right away, but now it's not the time to worry about it, so he had to greet Feng An without any embarrassment.
Feng An looked very calm, he ignored Hu Cheng who was still half hanging on him, and smiled on his face: "You are welcome, Mr. Wang, please come in quickly."
The interior of the room is simple in style, without any decorations. It looks a bit dull, but it is very similar to its owner.
As soon as Hu Cheng came in, he said bluffingly: "What about the pot of orchids I gave you last time, why didn't I see you put them out? It's not me, your room looks too stuffy and unpopular, so it needs to be more diverse." Flowers and grass are the only ones that look good."
Feng An paused with a smile: "It's not that you don't know that I'm not good at raising those, so I gave them to others to raise."
Hu Cheng waved his hand and said: "Look at you, you keep a straight face every day, what can you feed to live? Raising a tortoise can scare the tortoise to death."
Feng An's face became stiffer when he heard this, and he forced a smile. He changed the subject directly: "San Niang didn't know you were here yet, so I asked her to cook two more dishes."
When Hu Cheng heard this, he immediately put his orchids behind him, and said repeatedly: "Prepare some good wine, I haven't had a chance to touch wine for a few days." After finishing speaking, he added: "My sister-in-law has been very busy recently. good?"
Feng An had already gone to the back of the house. Hearing what he said, he paused slightly and didn't look back: "Shang Ke." He left in a hurry without waiting for a reply.
Wang Sheng listened to them coming and going, unable to get in a word, and almost suffocated.These two people have always been aggressive since they met, and they don't seem to have a good relationship at all.
If he had known that it would be better to go to the Datong shop, Wang Sheng lamented in his heart.
Fortunately, Feng An's wife, Sanniang, was quick and quick, and she prepared a large table of dishes in a short while, with two jugs of good wine beside her.
As soon as Hu Cheng saw that there was wine and food, he didn't care about other things. He drank a glass with his eyes shining brightly: "Good wine, sister-in-law is virtuous, Feng An is really blessed."
Feng Anli stood aside with a stiff face and did not answer. His wife Sanniang was a very weak-looking woman. Hearing the words, there was not much joy on her face. She only glanced timidly at her husband's face, then lowered her head. Back to the kitchen.
In order to avoid suspicion, Sanniang could only eat alone in the small kitchen.
After the hostess left, Hu Cheng became more unscrupulous, and even Feng An relaxed a lot under the influence of alcohol. After a while, the two started talking and laughing loudly.
Wang Sheng didn't like to drink this tasteless rice wine, and because of his poor health, he didn't dare to drink too much, so he had to hold his chopsticks and listen to Hu Cheng's nonsense.
Hu Cheng didn't care that he talked to someone on the road once, he was crossing his legs, spitting and talking endlessly, while Wang Sheng couldn't leave the table because of his feelings, so he could only stare at the half braised fish on the table. drowsy.
Just when he stared at the dead fish eyes and was about to stare at the cross-eyed eyes, he was suddenly awakened by a vainly high-pitched argument.He turned his head and found that Hu Cheng and Feng An seemed to be arguing about something.
Feng An was also drunk at this time, and instead of being reticent before, his voice became louder: "Don't fool me, 100 taels of silver, haha, I don't know how much you can earn from the businesses you do. Got twelve taels?"
After hearing this, Hu Cheng's already flushed face became even redder, and he shouted, "Why can't I make money! Don't underestimate me!"
Feng An didn't answer, but curled his lips, showing a look of disdain to argue with him.That way, Wang Sheng felt that he was really begging to be beaten, not to mention the alcoholism.
He slapped the wine bowl on the table, hooked his hand, and took over an inconspicuous green leather bag that was placed aside. This bag was quite familiar. When Wang Sheng was with Hu Cheng before, he saw it. He has always carried this little burden in his arms quite preciously, and has never left his body.
I saw Hu Cheng pretending to be mysterious and lowered his voice: "Okay, since you have talked to this point, brother, I will show you." After finishing speaking, he lifted the burden skin, revealing the neat and tidy clothes inside. Qi Qi silver ingots.
Wang Sheng and Feng Anqi took a breath together.
It was the first time Wang Sheng saw so much money after he arrived here, and he was very surprised, but after all, how much Hu Cheng earned had nothing to do with him, so he was only surprised for a short time before returning to normal.
But Feng An couldn't hold back his face anymore. He stared blankly at the 100 taels of silver, and murmured: "This is impossible, you are lying, the small business you do can't make so much money at all." Silver, unless...unless you borrowed the money. I heard that your new brother-in-law's family is very rich."
Looking at Feng An's suspicious eyes, Hu Cheng was a little anxious, he suddenly picked up the wine bowl and took a sip: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth."
Hu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and made a very deliberate and vicious look: "I met a big businessman on the road yesterday, and there was a lot of property in that car. I didn't want to have the same knowledge as him, but who would have thought that he would dare to provoke you, Mr. Hu?" , as soon as I got angry, I threw him into the dry well near Nanshan!"
"I snatched these properties from him." After finishing speaking, he laughed, and made a gesture of raising and lowering the knife in his hand very cooperatively, his face was full of color.
Wang Sheng was almost fooled by him at first, but seeing his vicious expression that was obviously forced, after thinking about it in his heart, he realized that he must be drinking too much and talking nonsense.Nanshan is to the east of Jiangcheng, which is not in the same direction as Dingxi Town at all.
Alas, alcohol really makes people lose their minds.
But Feng An didn't seem to have thought of this, his face turned slightly pale, obviously believing the other party's words.
After eating and drinking, Hu Cheng gradually became drunk, knocked his head on the edge of the table little by little, and gradually fell asleep.Wang Sheng stayed with him all night, and he was exhausted. Seeing that Hu Cheng had finally collapsed with honor, he couldn't care less about anything else. He hurriedly said to Feng An, "Brother Hu is drunk, let's go tonight."
Feng An stared blankly and didn't know what he was thinking. After hearing Wang Sheng's voice, he seemed to suddenly come back to his senses: "Indeed, it's already so late, look at my way of hospitality. Go and rest , Sanniang has already cleaned up the guest room."
Seeing that Wang Sheng was going to help Hu Cheng, Feng An interrupted, "I'll do it."
Wang Sheng was not willing to help this stinking alcoholic at first, but he was happy to have a leisurely time, so he naturally didn't shirk it, and moved into the second bedroom under Feng An's guidance.
"Oh, I'm exhausted." Wang Sheng was so sleepy that his eyelids were clenched, he simply washed up, then lay down on the soft bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
The lights were still on, but needles could be heard in the room, and Feng An stared expressionlessly at his drunken friend at the table.
Suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps, and it was his wife Sanniang who came.
Seeing Hu Cheng sleeping soundly, Sanniang reminded her husband softly: "Feng Lang, you have to settle the guests."
Feng An's thoughts were interrupted, he glanced at Sanniang noncommittally, and said in a low voice: "No need, you go to rest first, I will clean up the rest."
Sanniang wanted to say something else, but she swallowed her words after seeing her husband's face. She was able to treat her husband with an odd personality like a guest in the past two years because of her ability to observe words and emotions .
Seeing that Sanniang finally left obediently, Feng An withdrew his gaze from her, turned his head and continued to look at Hu Cheng coldly, the lamp oil on the table was about to burn out, and the half-brightness and half-darkness of the candlelight reflected on his face, revealing An indescribable gloom came.
After a good night's sleep, Wang Sheng slept until dawn before waking up. He was refreshed, and the ailments in his body seemed to have left. He was in a good mood at the moment, and bid farewell to Feng An after cleaning up.
As for Hu Cheng who was still hungover, considering today's arduous task, Wang Sheng really didn't have time to wait for him to wake up.I just asked Feng An to convey it on his behalf, saying that he still has to look for someone today, and he will visit him at another day.
Hearing this, Feng An raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a half-yin smile: "Okay, I'll tell him when he wakes up."
I don't know if it's his own illusion, Wang Sheng always felt that Feng An's smile looked a little flimsy, he shook his head, laughing at himself from the bottom of his heart.
When I arrived in Jiangcheng yesterday, the sun had already set in the west, and I still couldn't see anything.When he went out today, Wang Sheng really saw the charm of the bustling ancient city. Compared with Jiangcheng, Dingxi Town is really not enough.
Jiangcheng alone can cover several Dingxi towns in terms of area.Along the way, all kinds of food and entertainment are dazzling, and there are many buskers on the side of the road. Those tricks are very exquisite. Some of them, even a modern person like Wang Sheng, can't see the mystery of them. Stop, it can be described as a feast for the eyes.
Looking for someone here was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He looked around all the way, and finally found a breakfast shop and sat down.
"Guest officer, what do you want?" As soon as he sat down, the attentive shopkeeper came up to greet him.
Wang Sheng stretched his neck and looked at the left and right tables: "Um, why don't you serve me a bowl of noodles." It seems that people in Jiangcheng love noodles, and there are bowls of noodles on everyone's table, which smells quite delicious.
"Okay. Guest officer, please sit down for a while and come right away."
"Wait," Wang Sheng came here to fill his stomach only secondly, and his main purpose was to inquire about news, "Brother, I came here to look for relatives, but I haven't contacted my family for a long time, and my family seems to have moved. I want to ask, if I want to find someone, where can I go?"
The storekeeper didn't think he was strange, and said enthusiastically: "We ordinary people don't know about looking for people, guest officer, you have to go to the yamen and ask the adults who are on duty."
Seeing that Wang Sheng was still hesitant, he added: "Our county magistrate Fei is a well-known good official, don't worry, guest officer, we will definitely be able to help you find your family."
Wang Sheng thought about it, and felt that this was indeed the best solution at the moment, so he didn't delay immediately. After eating the noodles, he asked the shopkeeper how to get to the Yamen, and then he paid the bill and left.
When he really got to the gate of the yamen, he became worried again.It's fine to lie to others before, but when it comes to the government, if you ask, you are obviously looking for Zhao Dalang, but your surname is Wang, isn't it obvious that you are fooling people.
Just when he was standing at the door in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Where are you waiting? Standing at the door of this yamen, but there is a case to be reported?"
Wang Sheng was taken aback and turned around quickly, only to see a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes standing behind him.He had a knife on his waist, and he was wearing a blue cloth gown. He looked like he should be a policeman in the Yamen.
But after hesitating for a moment, Wang Sheng said, "My lord, Wang Sheng, was instructed by someone to come here to look for someone. I don't know what your name is?"
The man frowned thickly: "I can't be called an adult, you can just call me Detective Zhao, since you want to find someone, you have to register first, you follow me."
Wang Sheng followed him step by step and walked in through the side door. Inspector Zhao didn't look like a talkative person, the two of them were silent all the way, and soon they came to a small room full of papers and books.
Detective Zhao quickly waved away the handyman who was sweeping the room, and sat down behind the table with a big horse: "Say, who are you looking for, name, where is the ancestral home, and who else is in the family? Come back in a week and I will let you know if there is any news."
Wang Sheng followed him and sat down opposite him: "The person I'm looking for is Zhao Dalang."
Catcher Zhao frowned, couldn't help but looked up at him, and continued, "Where's the ancestral home?"
Wang Sheng really didn't know where Zhao Dalang's ancestral home was, so he could only say, "I don't know, but I know his younger brother. His younger brother's name is Zhao Erlang, and he lives in Dingxi Town."
As soon as these words came out, Catcher Zhao on the opposite side suddenly put down the pen and paper, raised his eyes and said, "You don't need to look for it."
Wang Sheng couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, not understanding what it meant.
Detective Zhao quickly said in a deep voice, "I am Zhao Dalang."
Really, there is nowhere to look for when you have broken through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Wang Sheng was already prepared for a long-term battle, but he didn't expect that no one needed to look for him, so he came forward by himself.
Zhao Zhao quickly asked: "What are you looking for?"
Wang Sheng was at a loss for words for a while, Zhao Erlang was already dead, his original plan was to do the same thing as before, and melt the remaining qi nourishing pill into the well water of Zhao Dalang's house.
In other words, he was not prepared to face Zhao Dalang face to face, because even if he told others about the painted skin monster, he would probably only be regarded as a lunatic.
Seeing that Wang Sheng hesitated and couldn't speak, Zhao Dalang's expression gradually became serious: "What happened? But something happened to my brother?"
It's really worthy of being a fast catcher, to be so sharp.Just when Wang Shengtian and man were fighting whether to tell the truth, a small official suddenly came in outside the door.
"Captain Zhao, the county magistrate wants you to go."
Wang Sheng had a headache at first, so he hurriedly said goodbye when he saw this, "Since Detective Zhao still has official duties, I won't bother you for now."
Detective Zhao quickly stood up from behind the table, but ignored Wang Sheng, and only said to the clerk, "Qi Liang, you came just in time, I'll go to your lord first, and you lead him to my residence for me. Remember to be careful, don't let people run away, I still have something to ask him when I come back."
The little official named Qi Liang immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, I promise to take good care of you."
Talking about looking at Catcher Zhao with a pair of eyes, Wang Sheng rolled his eyes from the side, how are you?Am I still here?Would you like to ask my opinion too?
It's a pity that the other two people in the room didn't listen to his suggestion, so Zhao Dalang walked away on his own after finishing speaking.After the other party left, Qi Liang who stayed behind immediately took off the star eyes of his little fanboy, turned his head and changed his expression, and said dryly to Wang Sheng, "Let's go."
Wang Sheng: ...
Let's go, let's go, I'll go, you are all uncles, okay, I'm afraid of you.
Seeing that he was very cooperative, Qi Liang's expression became a little more relaxed. He was originally a person who couldn't keep his mouth shut, and it didn't take long before he started talking to Wang Sheng.
"If you say that our magistrate Fei is really a Bao Qingtian, the case that was so difficult to solve last time, guess what, he can tell at a glance that the person is not the murderer. And our policeman Zhao, that's really..."
Qi Liang opened his mouth to Fei County Magistrate, but closed his mouth to Detective Zhao, causing Wang Sheng's brain to buzz.
Just at this time, Wang Sheng caught a glimpse of Zhao Dalang turning around the street corner with a group of people aggressively, and hurriedly interrupted the disturbing behavior of Qi Liang's repeater: "Isn't that your arrester Zhao, what are you going to do? Prisoner?"
Qi Liang quickly stretched his neck to look, but he could only see the tail of a team. He retracted his head listlessly, smacked his lips and said, "Maybe, but no matter what the prisoner is, I believe that Captain Zhao can catch him." Arrested and brought to justice!"
The topic came back again, Wang Sheng only felt that even if Qi Liang recited the magic spell in his ear, it would be better than this, it really made his head bald.
All the way, Wang Sheng and Qi Liang finally arrived at Catcher Zhao's house.
In front of me is a small courtyard with a single family, which can be called elegant and quiet. There are still unknown green plants entrenched on the wall, which are hanging down heavily.
Qi Liang shouted at the door: "Sister-in-law Zhao! Please open the door! I am Qi Liang!"
After a while, there was the sound of thin footsteps inside, and the next moment, the door was opened, and a woman with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes came out of the room.
She looked pale, with black eyes, and coughed twice: "It's Qi Liang, what's the matter, did Da Lang ask you to come?"
Qi Liang's loud voice also softened a bit: "Captain Zhao asked me to come quickly, if it's nothing, you can go in and rest, I'm outside."
In fact, Mrs. Zhao had already noticed Wang Sheng's face, but she didn't want to ask more questions for a while. Seeing that Qi Liang took over the job of greeting people, she followed suit: "Then I will go into the house to take care of the child, you Feel free to."
Considering that it would be neither embarrassing nor embarrassing for him to go to other people's house, Wang Sheng didn't enter the house at all, but just pulled Qi Liang to sit down at the small stone table in the yard.
He originally wanted to get some news about Zhao Dalang from Qi Liang, but he didn't expect that this kid didn't know whether he was treacherous or stupid, and he didn't ask a fart for a long time, so he had to continue to accept his rainbow fart.
Fortunately, Qi Liang was very busy two days ago, and he was tired after babbling for a while, so he leaned against the stone table and fell asleep after a while.
Wang Sheng wanted to rest for a while too, but for some reason, he just felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt that something was not right.
I don't know if it's because the trees and vines grow so well and densely here, the whole courtyard always gives people a gloomy feeling.
He touched the cold back of his neck, fidgeted for a while, finally couldn't hold it back, wiped his eyes with two fingers, and said silently: open.
Suddenly, the world in front of him changed drastically, and the originally dark courtyard became even darker. Wang Sheng swallowed subconsciously, and raised his head a little uneasy.
Excuse me!You never know the full extent of things until you see them.My good fellow, the whole yard is actually shrouded in a very ominous black air.
Especially in the main house, it was simply enveloped in thick black air, and even the doors and windows were hard to distinguish.
No wonder that Mrs. Zhao looked weak, she lived in a place like this every day, so she looked good every day, Wang Sheng subconsciously went to knock on the system: "System, what's going on, you haven't detected such a strong evil spirit ?"
The system was rarely online, and he replied very dissatisfied: "This system has already given you the gold finger of yin and yang eyes. Why are you so unwilling to make progress and rely on the system for everything? Do you know how to write independently and self-improvement?"
"At the beginning, it was a novice benefit. As your level increases, your inspiration will become stronger and stronger. You don't need to open your eyes later, you can feel where there is a monster. Why are you so slow until now? This is really the worst thing I have ever brought. Bad year."
Being criticized by this irresponsible system, Wang Sheng was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and immediately cut off the communication with the system unilaterally.
Seeing the blackness in front of him, he was also depressed. How could this be done? Could it be that the deer was released to strike a thunderbolt? If it hurts passers-by, who cares? It's really worrying.
Wang Sheng's side is bald, and Hu Cheng's side is not so easy either.
He had a good drink last night, and after this sleep, he became unconscious.Who would have thought that when he was sleeping soundly, there was a sudden noise not far away, which directly woke him up, and accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the noise was getting closer and closer to him.
Hu Cheng was so angry that his sleep was disturbed, he closed his eyes and yelled, "What are you doing? Why don't you let people sleep!"
What responded to him was the door that was suddenly pushed open with a "snap", and a few hands forcefully dragged him off the bed.The originally chaotic mind finally woke up, Hu Cheng opened his eyes in surprise and shouted: "Who are you, don't you have the law of the king? How dare you force your way into a private house!"
A disdainful sneer came from next to my ear: "Open your eyes wide and see who is tying you up."
Only then did Hu Cheng realize that he was surrounded by people from the government, and he was even more shocked: "I didn't do anything, I just arrived yesterday, why are you arresting me!"
"Why? Why do you have to ask the county magistrate yourself, that's enough, stop talking nonsense and come with us!"
"Feng An! Feng An, you, please tell them, I just arrived yesterday, and I didn't do anything!" Hu Cheng looked around in panic, but it was strange that such a big movement, as Feng An, the master, has never been seen.
"Take it away!" It was Policeman Zhao who came to arrest Hu Cheng. As soon as he arrived at Fei County Magistrate, he was told that someone had reported that someone had killed people and seized money in Nanshan, ten kilometers away from Jiangcheng.
It was a matter of human life, so that he didn't even have time to think about Wang Shengdu's matter, so he rushed out to arrest him.
When he arrived at the yamen, Hu Cheng's knees hadn't touched the ground, and he had already started shouting for grievances.
"Master County Magistrate, I am wronged, I am really wronged!"
"I just arrived in Jiangcheng yesterday, what can I do. I beg your lord to find out!"
County magistrate Fei is a middle-aged man with a white face and a slight beard. Seeing Hu Chenghao's heart-piercing, his face was noncommittal, and he said calmly: "I have received a report saying that you have murdered people near Nanshan. There are hundreds of taels of silver."
Hu Cheng had long forgotten what he boasted about when he was drunk, and said in shock: "How dare I! I have never even killed a chicken! How dare I kill people!"
County Magistrate Fei shook his head and said, "It's not up to you whether you dare or not. The report I received was a real-name report. The informant said with certainty that you not only killed someone, but also threw the body into the dry well. But There is such a thing!"
Before Hu Cheng could utter a word of grievance, he was firmly pressed to the ground by the yamen servant behind him.
"Bold, this is the place where you make a lot of noise!"
Hu Cheng's face was deformed by the pressure, and he said tremblingly: "I really don't have one, please be clear...to check..."
The more he spoke, the more his voice trembled, and he was really scared out of his wits.
County magistrate Fei frowned slightly when he saw this, he was silent for a moment, and then had Hu Cheng, who was trembling, be detained.He rubbed his forehead and said, "Catcher Zhao... No, catcher Cai, hurry up, take someone to the vicinity of Nanshan Mountain, and focus on checking the dry wells nearby to see if there are any corpses."
Immediately, a tall and strong middle-aged man stood out from the crowd: "Yes."
After Detective Cai quickly left with his people, County Magistrate Fei turned his attention to Zhao Dalang: "I almost forgot that you have something to do at home, so I want you to go by the way. Oh, I'm really old."
Zhao Dalang clasped his hands and said, "My subordinates feel guilty, my lord has everything to do every day, and I still have to worry about my subordinates' affairs."
Magistrate Fei waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to worry about. Over the years, I have indeed seen many things that are difficult to explain with common sense. People must always be in awe to last long."
"Because of a case, I met a Taoist priest with some real skills. He also came to Jiangcheng recently. If you need it, I can introduce him for you."
Zhao Dalang hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll go back tonight to see the situation."
Seeing this, County Magistrate Fei didn't try to persuade him any more, he just told him to tell him if something happened to him, and sent Zhao Dalang home to be with his wife and children.
Finally quiet again, Magistrate Fei sighed softly while opening the documents on the case and flipping through them: "One or two don't make me worry."
When Zhao Dalang hurried home, he saw two idlers sitting in his yard, one lying unconscious on the stone table, the other staring at the vines beside him and sighing, he didn't know how his vines offended him him.
Wang Sheng, who was staring at the vines of an unknown plant in a daze, saw Zhao Dalang come back, he quickly got up and stood up, while pulling Qi Liang who was sleeping like a pig beside him.
Qi Liang was pulled so violently by him that he almost fell to the ground. He looked up furiously to scold, but he didn't expect to see Inspector Zhao just in time.
He laughed dryly and then stood up: "You are back, the work in the yamen is over."
"It's almost there. You can go back too. I'll trouble you today."
"No trouble, no trouble, then I'll leave first." Qi Liang was also a little embarrassed, and said that he would help Zhao Zhao to watch the person quickly, but why did he fall asleep first, and he might not know if the person ran away.
After Qi Liang slipped against the wall, only Zhao Dalang and Wang Sheng were left in the yard, looking at each other silently.
Wang Sheng was still concerned about the black air in the room, and was wondering how to speak to Zhao Dalang, but he saw that the other party spoke first: "Is it because of my brother that you are looking for me? What happened to him?"
Wang Sheng was startled, shit, how could he forget this.
If he directly asked Zhao Dalang whether he believed in monsters in this world, would he be treated as sick and sent to the government directly?
Seeing his tangled face, Zhao Dalang anxiously asked, "Did something happen to him?"
Stretching out his head for a knife, retracting his head for a knife, Wang Sheng said silently three times in his heart, family members also have the right to know, gritted his teeth and said, "Something happened to him indeed."
Although he had a faint premonition in his heart, when he was told personally, Zhao Dalang still felt an uncontrollable throbbing pain in his heart, he was silent for a while, and said with difficulty: "What happened? Was it injured? Or... dead? "
Wang Sheng couldn't bear to look at the other person's expression: "He's dead."
Zhao Dalang was silent again for a long time, and it took him a long time to force himself to speak, his voice hoarse and low: "...what's going on?"
Wang Sheng raised his head, looked into Zhao Dalang's eyes, and said solemnly, "I can swear that everything I said below is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood."
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Dalang's response, and directly told the whole thing about the painted skin demon and the fake Taoist priest.
"That's the way it is. He... he can also be said to be dragged down by me. I'm sorry. I really didn't know how to tell you at first. After all, these things are too shocking for others. I'm afraid to say And no one will believe it."
Wang Sheng calmed down in one breath, feeling a little more relaxed, but he was still a little apprehensive after all, and couldn't help looking up at Zhao Dalang's expression anxiously.
Suddenly being indoctrinated with this great knowledge, Zhao Dalang is obviously stunned. Although he has been a policeman for several years and has seen a lot of strange cases of all kinds, it is really the first time he has heard of such a thing that breaks through common sense .
"This... this is really..." Seeing that he was still in disbelief, Wang Sheng simply said to him directly: "Catcher Zhao, please find me a hidden place where no one is around. If you don't believe me, I can prove it." show you."
Zhao Dalang saw that his words were firm, although he still felt a little foggy, he still led him to a room full of sundries in the backyard as promised.
"No one will come here, how do you prove it?" Zhao Dalang has calmed down now, although he is still dubious in his heart, he has obviously calmed down.
Wang Sheng wants to prove that these things are true, but it is actually very easy. He just needs to show something beyond "common sense".
It was a cramped place, so he first cleared the debris around his feet to create an open space, and then meditated in his heart, summoning the deer.
As soon as Canglu came out, she was forced to face the big eyes of the two big men, but she had a docile temperament, so she didn't put her hooves on the spot.
Wang Sheng took the opportunity to touch her smooth fur, and said to the shocked Zhao Dalang, "This is a cang deer. I shouldn't have summoned it to show you, but I really can't think of any other way to make it look like a deer." You believe it."
"In the world, in the world, there really are..." Zhao Dalang really suffered a severe blow to his worldview this time, he stood there for a while before saying, "I believe it, I believe it, please take this lord... "
"It's Canglu." Wang Sheng reminded kindly.
"Master Cang... Canglu." Zhao Dalang began to stammer.
Seeing that his image of a cool guy at the beginning had completely collapsed, Wang Sheng had no choice but to put Cang Lu away dumbfounded.
This is also the reason why Wang Sheng summoned Canglu from the beginning, because she cannot be considered a demon in the strict sense. Canglu is a legendary spirit beast with immortal energy, and its impact on ordinary people is stronger than other monsters in his hands. The spirit is much bigger.
Now that Zhao Dalang has already believed it, the next words are not so hard to say. Wang Sheng just finds it troublesome, so he doesn't intend to do the stupid thing of throwing magic pills into other people's wells secretly in the middle of the night.
He directly took out the Yangqi Pill and handed it to Zhao Dalang: "This panacea is called Yangqi Pill, it has the effect of eliminating all diseases and prolonging life."
"Zhao Erlang helped me a lot before he was alive. I came here to look for you in Jiangcheng just to give you the elixir. Mrs. Guanzun in front of me is not looking very well. You can use this elixir for her. Use it yourself. It's fine, or you can leave it to your children."
Zhao Dalang refused and said: "I know the consequences of the past and the consequences. If there is a wrong, there is a debt. I know in my heart. You don't have to do this."
Wang Sheng ignored him, and directly stuffed Yangqi Pill into his hand: "Oh, I don't need it, so hurry up and take it."
Afraid that Zhao Dalang would refuse again, Wang Sheng quickly changed his serious expression, and said to him seriously: "Compared to this, I have one more important thing to tell you."
Sure enough, the other party followed suit and said solemnly: "Say it."
Wang Sheng said: "You or your family members, have you suffered from lack of energy, insomnia and dreams these days? Or let me put it bluntly, have you encountered any strange things?"
Zhao Dalang's face turned pale: "What did you see? There are also demons here?"
Wang Sheng knew something was wrong as soon as he heard it, and immediately said, "Did you notice something wrong?"
Zhao Dalang shook his head and said: "It's not me, it's my wife. She has been waking up every night since five days ago, unable to sleep, and kept telling me that there is something in the house. But I have been unable to get out because of a case a few days ago. In the yamen, I didn’t have time to go home until today.”
"Your wife is right, there is indeed a problem." Wang Sheng thought for a while and then asked: "How to deal with it specifically, I still have to see your wife."
After Zhao Dalang nodded in agreement, the two walked out of the narrow room together.
Mrs. Zhao was softly coaxing the child in her arms, but when she saw her husband came back, she hurriedly stood up from the chair, and a trace of blood appeared on her paper-pale face.
"Husband!" She saw Wang Sheng following behind Zhao Dalang, hesitated for a moment, and asked again, "This is..."
Wang Sheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Madam, don't worry about me, I just want to ask you a few questions."
Zhao Dalang took the child from her arms smoothly: "Don't be nervous, I invited him here, haven't you been sleeping peacefully for the past two days?"
Wang Sheng nodded and said, "That's right, Ma'am, please tell me what you have encountered in the past two days, as long as you think there is a problem, the more detailed the better."
Mrs. Zhao looked at his too young face with some hesitation, then looked sideways at her husband, and then said: "I have always seen someone in the past few nights, no, I am sure if he is people."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhao's thin body couldn't help but tremble slightly: "He only appears at night, and I always wake up inexplicably in the middle of the night. He is standing on my bedside. I want to shout, but I can't. I can't move either. At the beginning, I couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman, but just yesterday, I saw that it was a man, but his face was very vague."
"At first, I thought it was a dream, and I didn't take it to heart, but now I can be sure that it's not a dream, I am, I really saw it..." At this point, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help crying up.
Zhao Dalang probably only knew that his daughter-in-law might have encountered something dirty, but he didn't know exactly what was going on. Now that he saw her panicked look, he also raised his heart.
He turned his head and asked for help, "I don't know if Mister can help you."
Since showing Canglu face to face, Zhao Dalang's attitude has become a lot more respectful. Wang Sheng actually opened the yin and yang eyes and looked around as soon as he entered the door, but he hasn't found the source of the black energy yet.
Afterwards, the voice of the system releasing the task also came from his ears. This time, before the system finished reading the narration of the task, Wang Sheng took it directly.
The system's voice paused, and it directly informed: "Congratulations to the host for successfully accepting the task "Zhao Dalang's commission". Please work hard and complete it as soon as possible."
Then the system was happy and relaxed, so it retracted skillfully.
Wang Sheng didn't notice that the dog system was fishing again this time, and all his attention was on the confrontation between Cai Cai and Mrs. Zhao just now.
