treacherous world

The death of the young master of the Er Yue Palace immediately caused the onlookers at Dutou to be terrified.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "No, the horse-bellied fairy has descended on this little fairy boy!"

Look again, everyone is pointing at the fourth son.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned, "What nonsense?"

"Oh, little fairy boy, the horse belly fairy has appeared!"

All the people onlookers bowed and kowtowed, and made big salutes to the youngest son.

The fourth son had never seen such a battle before, and hid behind Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang looked at Liang Bao.

Liang Bao didn't know the background of the fourth son, so he thought that he was probably with Zhan Zhao, and his status was similar, so he hurriedly said to the crowd, "Don't make noise! ​​We broke up! It's just a coincidence!"

The yamen servants evacuated the people to leave, so as not to trample on people's lives just like the last time Master Liu died.

But Feng Boyuan, the old man who followed the young palace master, was not so easy to let go, he stared at the fourth son with some gloom.

The fourth son turned around and saw him, seeing his murderous eyes, he was so startled that he quickly got into Xiao Liang's arms, this man is so fierce!Seeing the old man scaring the fourth son, Shi Shi looked at him ferociously with his teeth bared, stretched out his claws and gently scratched the ground, and his appearance immediately changed from being naive to fierce and violent.

Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao heard the movement.

Zhan Zhao waved his hand at Liang Bao, and said, "Take the corpse back to the Yamen, and find him for an autopsy."

"Wait, who dares to touch the bones of the Young Palace Master?!" The two women in white drew their knives to protect the Young Palace Master's body, glaring at everyone.

Liang Bao found it a bit troublesome at first glance, he had no reason to talk to these Jianghu people, and they basically didn't treat Jianghu people very much.

"Take this doll with us." Feng Boyuan said suddenly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" When Xiao Liang heard that he wanted to take the fourth son away, he would not agree.

"He might kill our Young Palace Mistress. We will take him away and wait for the Palace Mistress to deal with!" Feng Boyuan had a tough attitude and looked at Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao with a cold face, "Can you hear what this old man is saying clearly?"

The fourth son was already timid and a little dazed, and finally dared to say a few words out loud, but now the old man turned his face pale when he was frightened.Xiao Liang looked distressed and patted him lightly, "Jin'er, ignore him!"

Zhan Zhao heard it clearly, and suddenly smiled.

Feng Boyuan frowned at him, "What are you laughing at?"

"Er Yue Gong, Feng Boyuan?" Zhan Zhao shook his head with a smile, "Who do you think you are, and who are you asking for?"

Feng Boyuan was taken aback, and took a breath. He recognized Bai Yutang's identity before, but never recognized Zhan Zhao. He just thought that this person must have a lot of background, but he is a blind swordsman with such a strong martial arts. similar people.Listening to his tone of voice now, I felt a surge in my heart... This person seemed to be on par with Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang said to Liang Bao who was dumbfounded, "Go and get some ice to seal up the big fish carcass, so don't let it rot."

"Uh... yes." Liang Bao hurriedly ordered people to do it.

"Guardian!" The two white-clothed women seemed very unconvinced by the death of the young palace lord, and looked at Feng Boyuan and whispered, "If the palace lord asks, it's hard to explain. The young palace lord had an accident right under our noses. It's also a capital offense."

Feng Boyuan frowned, he naturally knew the pros and cons, but he also complained in his heart.It's all because the Young Palace Master loves to show off too much, he said earlier not to go into this muddy water... Who on earth killed him?that doll?

Feng Boyuan glanced at the fourth son again, just now he was just angry that the young palace master said bad things about the man in blue, so he kicked him, his little arms and legs should not even hurt the flesh.

"Leave that child!" Before Feng Boyuan could open his mouth, the two white-clothed women couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward with knives, standing on both sides, "We will use his blood to sacrifice my young master!"

Bai Yutang frowned, "Making trouble for no reason."

"My Er Yue Palace is not so easy to bully!" After finishing speaking, the two sisters raised their knives together and attacked.

Bai Yutang took a step back and said to Zhan Zhao, "Come here."

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "Why?" He wondered why Bai Yutang was like this, his eyesight was not convenient.

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, "I don't hit women."

Zhan Zhaowangtian, "I don't fight either."

"Just pretend they are not." Bai Yutang said calmly, "Imagine being a man."

Zhan Zhao made Bai Yutang laugh angrily, but since everyone came up to him with a knife in hand, it was hard to ignore it.Zhan Zhao didn't draw out his sword, he heard the sound to identify his position, he turned sideways to avoid the knives that the two girls were slashing at, and his strike was like lightning, instantly hitting the acupuncture points of the two.

Feng Bo watched from afar, and wanted to try Zhan Zhao's depth, but he didn't expect that the two girls were no match for half a move, even if they didn't work.

Liang Bao looked dazzled from the side, and said to himself, oh, the people in this Kaifeng mansion are amazing, a dynasty is that powerful, so what about Zhan Zhao? !

"Okay!" Feng Boyuan sneered, "We have settled this grudge, and we must avenge it in the future!" After speaking, he picked up the young palace master's body on the ground and left.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Pursue or not?"

Bai Yutang shrugged, "Too lazy to chase."

Zhan Zhao nodded, he was too lazy to chase

Liang Bao looked at the chaos in front of him, the dead were lost, and because Bai had two more girls who had acupuncture points, he scratched his head and asked Bai Yutang, "My lord, what should I do?"

Zhan Zhao raised his sleeve and waved... and unlocked the acupuncture points of the two girls, "Go back and tell your palace master that the death of the young palace master has nothing to do with me. Instead of randomly suspecting outsiders, it's better to find out if you offended someone Enemies."

The two girls looked at each other, gritted their teeth, turned and ran after Feng Boyuan.

"Master Liang." Zhan Zhao asked Liang Bao, "Can we see the bodies of all the dead before?"

"Of course." Liang Bao nodded, "You two come with me to the county government office.

At this time, someone from the yamen had already made a long stretcher out of canvas and moved the fish onto the stretcher.

Liang Bao said, "There is a room for collecting corpses in the yamen, and it's better to put ice cubes and carry the fish back to preserve it." Zhan Zhao nodded happily, "This is even better."

Bai Yutang walked up to Xiao Liang, looked at the terrified little four in his arms, stretched out his hand to poke his ass, and lowered his voice, "Little four?"

The stone on the side rubbed against Bai Yutang intoxicated, so gentle...

The fourth son looked back at him.

Zhan Zhao came over and reached out to touch him, then hugged him, "Are you afraid?"

The fourth son thought for a while, "A little bit."

"This Er Yue Palace is too bullying. If you die, you will depend on others." Xiao Liang was dissatisfied, "Thanks to Master not being here, otherwise he would probably be able to tear down his Er Yue Palace."

The fourth son pursed his lips, thinking of Zhao Pu and Gongsun, he was even less afraid.

"Let's go back." Bai Yutang said, "Go to the yamen first, I'm afraid the Er Yue Palace will not let it go, so be on guard."

Zhan Zhao agreed, and everyone followed Liang Bao back to the county government office.

First sat down and listened to Liang Bao talk about the case, and then went outside Wu Zuo's room.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao and the others seemed to be bringing children in, Liang Bao asked, "Would children be frightened if they saw dead people?"

Xiao Liang shook his head, they are not afraid of the dead, the fourth son has been with Gongsun to save people and do autopsies for many years, he has seen many dead people, as long as he doesn't cheat the dead, it is impossible for him to be afraid.

Before entering the door, everyone covered their mouths and noses with a wet veil to avoid being poisoned by the corpse.

Entering the room, I felt very cold, and there were ice cubes beside the bed. Liang Bao said that if the case could not be solved in half a month, it might be reported to Kaifeng. The body was sealed.

When he got closer, he saw that the corpse was not decomposed. The face of the deceased was pale and bluish, his lips were bruised, the spots on his body were not obvious, and blood flowed from his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and seven orifices.

Zhan Zhao couldn't see, Bai Yutang explained all the details of the death, and asked Liang Bao, "What did you say after the autopsy?"

Liang Bao gave a dry laugh, and said, "My lord, to tell you the truth, since the previous foreman died, there has been no foreman who is willing to look at this corpse. There is no way to do an autopsy."

Zhan Zhao frowned, no one dared to test it.But after hearing the symptoms of the corpses just now, why do you think these people died of poisoning?And it's a common poison.

Bai Yutang also saw something was wrong, and asked the fourth son, "Sir, can you see the cause of death?"

Little Sizi blinked and said, "It should be poisoned, like he died from eating rat poison, or arsenic, a very common poison."

"Huh?" Liang Baoke was stunned, and asked, "He was poisoned to death by this kind of poison that can be bought in shops?"

"Cut it open and have a look at the liver, and you'll know if it's poisoned." The fourth child suddenly stared at the neck of the corpse, and pointed, "Look at Bai Bai, its neck is swollen."

Everyone looked down, and saw that it was true!There was a small lump on the neck of the corpse, in the soft part of the collarbone and the neck, it couldn't be found unless you looked carefully, and it was especially awkward if you looked carefully.

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand and picked up the short knife that was used for autopsy, and cut down on the raised area, and pulled it away...

Everyone saw that after the flesh was cut open, something dark was exposed inside.

Bai Yutang picked up a bamboo stick and picked it up to have a look. Everyone's eyes widened, and they felt a sense of nausea in an instant.

I saw that it was a slimy dead mouse.

There were bloodstains on the mouse's body, and the mouse's hair was loose and its eyeballs fell out... It also exuded a rancid smell.

Bai Yutang is not afraid of anything, but he is afraid of getting dirty, as if he only wears white clothes, and he feels uncomfortable in other colors, so he quickly put down the bamboo stick, his face ugly.

Everyone subconsciously ran outside to take a breath. It was a disgusting scene.

"Where did these mice come from?" Bai Yutang asked Liang Bao.

"I don't know. A few years ago, I heard that there was a rat plague in Heshan County. The rats ate up all the crops, but this is how the rat plague is. Once the farmers have eaten all the food, all the rats will die within three days. Heshan The county magistrate must have burned all the dead rats and buried them deep. Probably all the rats had died at that time, so there have been no dead rats in Qushan County for many years. But these days they suddenly popped up again."

"Ask people to fish up all the rats from the river, and find a specialist to test whether the rats are poisonous." Zhan Zhao ordered Liang Bao, "Also, the water in the Yishui River is fasted, and the wells in various places are tested by doctors. Pass!"

"Yes!" Liang Bao hurried away.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood silently at the door of Wu Zuo's room, inexplicably thinking of the cat that died that night with a mouse in its mouth—could it be that the mouse was poisonous, and the cat died after eating it.But who would swallow a mouse?There is no reason.

"Brother Zhan, Brother Bai!"

At this time, in Wu Zuo's room, Xiao Liang stood in front of a dead body and called the two of them.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang ran in.

"Look!" Xiao Liang pointed to the corpse of a policeman and said, "Brother Zhan, do you still remember the policeman who kicked a beggar when we entered the city and died suddenly?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Remember, he died suddenly."

"He also has a bulging neck."

"What?!" Zhan Zhao was taken aback.

Bai Yutang cut open his neck with a knife, sure enough, there was also a dead rat inside.

"This is weird!" Zhan Zhao shook his head again and again, "He was fine when he was talking to me, but he died in an instant. Would someone talk to someone peacefully with a dead rat stuck in his throat?"

"This Master Liu also has them." Xiao Liang looked at the corpses and pointed to the corpse of a Taoist priest.

"Renren Liu died suddenly in front of everyone. Could it be that he also swallowed the dead rat?" Bai Yutang cut the neck of Master Liu, and sure enough...it was still a dead rat.

Everyone was silent for a long time, Bai Yutang shook his head, "Impossible..."

"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded, "It's impossible."

While he was talking, he heard footsteps at the door. The footsteps sounded weird, light and heavy, and there was the sound of crutches. It seemed that the person walking was a cripple.

Bai Yutang turned his head, and saw a dark-skinned old man coming to the door, with one foot limping, standing at the door with a cane, staring at a corpse of a dead rat whose throat had been cut open in the room.

The man's eyes were cloudy and burst out, staring at the corpse as if he had been greatly frightened.

"It's the same as back then..." the old man suddenly muttered to himself, in a daze. "Dead rats die, people die because rats kill people, and rats come out to kill people!"

"Mouse?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

But the old man backed away in shock as he was thinking, there were steps behind him, he didn't notice that his foot slipped, he fell on his back, and fell on his back.

Sitting on the ground, he was still chanting, "Water rats come out of the river, rats are harmful to people... Sha Jie, Sha Jie!"
