Strange Records of Xijing

A boy like Chai Tou, who is willing to betray his master for money, will naturally confess the truth for his own life.Xu Jingzong didn't even make people use the severe punishment, he just ordered people to come out and fiddle with the torture device with his fingers twice, and Chaitou explained everything.

According to Chaitou's account, it was Zhu Zhiwen who bribed him with a large sum of money, as long as he waited for Niu Chunhui's death to testify that Pei Jingxing killed the person.As for how and why Pei Jingxing was killed, Chaitou only needs to say that he did not see it with his own eyes, but it should have something to do with the little Taoist priest next to Pei Jingxing whom Niu Chunhui had taken a fancy to—Niu Chunhui saw Su Yan several times, only Su Yan didn't have Pei Jingxing at one time; moreover, Niu Chunhui had indeed taken a fancy to Su Yan; as for the real relationship between Su Yan and Pei Jingxing, after Niu Chunhui died, who would investigate if Niu Guogong joined forces with Zhu Guogong and the Minister of Criminal Affairs?

Now that Chaitou has explained, Xu Jingzong will naturally not give up this important clue.But this matter involved Zhu Guogong's son, Xu Jingzong didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he immediately reported it to the Holy Majesty, and notified Niu Guogong, who had died of his grandson.

As a result, the two dukes who were originally out of the same nose immediately split into two factions. Niu Guogong hated Zhu Zhiwen for plotting to murder his grandson so much, and made up his mind to ask Zhu Guogong to pay for his debts with blood; but Zhu Guogong felt that Niu Chunhui was just A dude, and since the firewood can betray the master, he will frame him. This person must not have been killed by his own son.

The two princes quarreled with each other, and finally they all found the emperor together.One cried out that his grandson was innocent, but was murdered by his friends; the other lamented that his son was not the murderer, and asked the emperor to return Zhu Zhiwen's innocence.

A [-]-year-old man who is so good, he became the neighbor's persuasion.The emperor looked at the two dukes who were nearly torn together, and in a fit of anger, he severely reprimanded the two dukes, who were nearly a hundred years old together, and ordered them to go home and reflect.

Afterwards, the emperor ordered the inner eunuch to deliver an edict to Xu Jingzong, ordering him to solve the case quickly.

It was also Zhu Zhiwen's bad luck. Early the next morning, someone found a man lying in front of Jingzhao's mansion, all naked and tied up.Soon, the man was brought in by the yamen servant, together with a piece of paper pressed by a stone not far from him.

According to what was written on the paper, this man was the killer who killed Niu Chunhui.After killing Niu Chunhui, the killer was worried that Zhu Zhiwen would kill him, so he quietly hid in a dilapidated house in the southeast corner of Xijing, but was bumped into by a letter writer.

Who was the person who wrote the letter, why did he know the inside information, and why did he help Pei Jingxing, Xu Jingzong didn't care about these issues at all.He got Jing Zhaoyin's letter, and immediately ordered someone to bring the killer over.

Xu Shilang, who was busy investigating the case, didn't notice that a sparrow parked outside his window immediately flew away after hearing his order.

The killer knew that going out would be a dead end, so he might as well confess to the mastermind honestly, maybe he could die happily.

So, before Xu Jingzong could order someone to be tortured, the killer did everything he could.

According to the killer, it was a powerful person who sent someone to find him. He only said that his friend had a dispute with someone and wanted to pay him to kill him.The killer did not doubt that he was there. After seeing Niu Chunhui, hearing about Niu Chunhui's plan, and seeing that the reward was very high, he patted his chest and promised that Pei Jingxing would die by his sword.

It was only on his side that he took Niu Chunhui's deposit, but on the other side he sent someone to pay more than twice as much, so that he would give up killing Pei Jingxing and kill Niu Chunhui instead.

Although the killer was dazzled by the gold, he still remembered that he had taken Niu Chunhui's deposit first, so he didn't turn against him immediately.But when he was hesitating, the servant who brought the gold said that his master didn't want to let Pei Jingxing go, but hated him to the bone.His master had already bribed the servant around Niu Chunhui, as long as Niu Chunhui died and the real murderer was not caught, the servant would insist that Pei Jingxing was the murderer.

Niu Chunhui was Niu Guogong's last hope, and Pei Jingxing could not escape death.In this way, the killer fulfilled his promise to Niu Chunhui.

The killer knew the truth that the more you die, the quicker you die, and he didn't dare to ask more questions, and seeing that the deposit alone was enough to squander him for several years, how could he not agree?You know, this is a blood-licking business, so why treat yourself badly?

With all the witnesses and material evidence available, Xu Jingzong made a prompt decision and wrote to the emperor, explaining the whole story of the case. At the end, he begged the emperor to immediately release Pei Jingxing, who was innocently imprisoned, and send someone to arrest Zhu Zhiwen, the real murderer behind the scenes.

Xu Jingzong's memorial was placed on the table, and the emperor couldn't find any faults. In addition, Zhang Feiran's letter of apology from the northwest had also been sent to the capital, for the sake of the deceased Pei Jin and Zhang Feiran who was still guarding the northwest. , the emperor had no choice but to release Pei Jingxing, and gave some gold, silver and Ruyi silk, satin and fur as a token of appeasement.

At the same time, the emperor ordered Jin Wuwei to go to Zhu Guogong immediately and arrest Zhu Zhiwen.

The emperor's actions were not ruthless - Pei Jingxing was also the envoy of the Jinwu Guard, although he was usually ruthless, casual and strict with his subordinates, but whenever his subordinates had difficulties, he would always help them secretly.Over time, these Jinwu guards were quite convinced of Pei Jingxing.

Now that Pei Jingxing had been proven innocent, most of these Jinwu guards wanted to vent his anger on him, so they volunteered one after another, wishing they could rush to Zhu Guogong's mansion immediately and beat Zhu Zhiwen black and blue.

But when Jin Wuwei was two streets away from Zhu Guogong's mansion, Xijing suddenly shook and the mountains shook. Pedestrians couldn't avoid it, and fell staggered on the road.

Immediately afterwards, millions of people in Xijing witnessed a gigantic black and white striped giant snake that suddenly leaped out of the ground, climbed up to the clouds, and turned back swiftly, devouring three or four passers-by in an instant.

The shock was felt in the palace, and the emperor grabbed the armrest of the chair with one hand, and managed to stabilize himself.

"Hurry up, send someone to see what's going on!" the emperor hurriedly ordered, "Bring on the national teacher, quickly pass on the national teacher!"

It's not easy to be an emperor these days.Forget it in other places. If there is a flood in the capital city and Mount Tai, it is because you, the emperor, have not been a good emperor. God was so angry that he sent a torrential flood to punish him. If there is an earthquake, it is because you, the emperor, have not been a good emperor. It was self-willedness and recklessness that angered the heavens, which led to such a disaster.If the emperor didn't issue a crime edict in time to correct his mistakes, he would be criticized at least, and at worst he would change his dynasty. This is not unprecedented in history.

The current emperor is the youngest son of the former emperor. If the prince hadn't been abolished due to the rebellion and the other princes fought for the throne, the old emperor was disheartened, and it would not have been his turn to be the emperor.

The emperor adhered to the mentality of not seeking merit but seeking no faults. He had been the emperor conscientiously for decades. Today, when the ground shakes, he panics.

Not long after, before the national teacher arrived, an inner eunuch rushed to report: "Your Majesty, a huge snake appeared in the sky, and the people outside were frightened."

Hearing this, the emperor felt more and more ominous, so he hurriedly got up and ran out to have a look.Sure enough, there was a thin black thread hanging in the air in the northeast direction, it should be the giant snake that the prisoner said.

The emperor pulled an inner eunuch aside and asked, "Where is the national teacher? Why hasn't the national teacher come yet?"

"I have already sent someone to invite you, please wait patiently, Your Majesty."

"How can I wait patiently!" The emperor let go of the inner prisoner, walked back to the study, and paced back and forth anxiously in the room.

Fortunately, the national teacher didn't ask the emperor to wait any longer. Not long after, the national teacher came in a hurry with his big apprentice Gao Zekai.

"Meet Your Majesty." The national teacher led Gao Zekai to salute the emperor, but the latter stopped him with a wave of his hand.

"There is no need for the national teacher to be too polite. How do you see this monster in Xijing today?"

The national teacher pinched his fingers and replied: "This is not a natural monster, but a person who has acquired a demon."

"Enchanted?" The emperor frowned, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "According to what the national teacher sees, what should I do?"

"Cut the weeds and root out the roots." The national teacher didn't see any waves in his eyes. When he said these four words, it was as if he was talking about today's weather with the emperor.

"Okay!" The emperor clapped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then there will be Teacher Lao."

The national teacher nodded: "My minister obeys the order."

When the national teacher left the palace and rushed to the northeast, Pei Jingxing, who was supposed to be at home, carried a dragon's head and a tiger's tooth spear, and went upstream among the fleeing crowd.And beside him, Su Yan did the same thing.

"The monster is really Zhu Zhiwen?"

Su Yan was also a little uncertain: "I've seen this black and white giant snake in an ancient book, it's the incarnation of a demon. Zhu Zhiwen caught so many people and monsters to eat, I'm afraid he's already possessed. "

After Pei Jingxing heard this, he tightened his grip on the dragon-headed tiger-tooth spear: "It's not too late, we have to go there quickly."

The two rushed to the northeast where the giant snake appeared. Most of the Duke's Mansion had already been razed to the ground. Many people in the Duke's Mansion were crushed under the collapsed houses and rockery, struggling hard.I saw the big snake rising from the ground, and then falling from the sky suddenly, the black and white scales gleamed dazzlingly in the sun, the snake body swam around the ruins, and swallowed those hapless wretches who were struggling in pain.

"It really is Zhu Zhiwen!" Seeing the greedy appearance of this big snake, Pei Jingxing recognized the identity of this monster without Su Yan telling him.

It is said that greed is not enough for snakes to swallow elephants. This Zhu Zhiwen has eaten so many people and demons, he has long lost his conscience as a human being, and has completely fallen into a demon.

"Do you have a solution?" Pei Jingxing glanced at Su Yan beside him.

Su Yan shook his head: "I've never seen such an acquired demon, I can only look at it with common sense for the time being."

"Forget it, then use my method." Pei Jingxing shook the dragon-headed and tiger-toothed gun in his hand, "This gun drank Yasha's blood in the past, this time let it taste the taste of monsters."

With a thought, Su Yan said, "Go and lure it away, I will find a way to find its weakness."

"it is good!"

Holding the dragon head and tiger tooth gun, Pei Jingxing jumped onto a ruin, ran along the damaged eaves, and rushed to the giant snake.

"Zhu Zhiwen!" Pei Jingxing roared, and a dragon-headed tiger-toothed spear shot out in response!

Pei Jingxing shot with one blow, but did not receive the expected effect.The dragon-head and tiger-tooth spear hit the scales of the giant snake, making a crisp sound of gold and jade. Pei Jingxing exerted force with his hand, but the spear head could only penetrate a little, and then he couldn't move anymore.

Pei Jingxing simply leaned forward, stepped on the barrel of the gun with both feet, and then jumped forward with his strength, his hands clinging tightly to the body of the giant snake.He grabbed a scale of the giant snake with his left hand, and pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist with his right hand, inserting it forcefully into the gap of the scale, and then turning his wrist, the dagger dug out a piece of meat from the snake.

The giant snake suffered from pain, its tail kept trembling, and it made a rapid hissing sound. Its whole body twisted several times, trying to shake off the fleas on its back.However, Pei Jingxing held onto the snake's body firmly, no matter how the giant snake shook and rolled, it didn't fall off, and even took the time to pick up the dragon's head and tiger-toothed gun, and stabbed heavily at the cracks in the scales!

The giant snake was in pain again, this time it was ruthless, and it simply slammed its body into a high wall that was about to collapse!

Seeing this, Pei Jingxing immediately withdrew.He just jumped off from under the giant snake and rolled to the side, the giant snake hit the high wall - if it was later, he would have been smashed into a pulp.

Pei Jingxing lost his location, and there was no place to hide in the front, back, left, and right, and he was exposed in front of the giant snake.The giant snake was cunning by nature, so it managed to get rid of Pei Jingxing with great difficulty, so it aimed at Pei Jingxing, opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Pei Jingxing!

Pei Jingxing bent his knees and leaned back. The strong wind of the giant snake carrying a strong smell of blood passed by Pei Jingxing's face. The strong wind even added a few bloodstains on Pei Jingxing's face.

The smell of blood stimulated Zhu Zhiwen's giant snake, it abruptly stopped its momentum of rushing forward in the air, turned around and launched an offensive towards Pei Jingxing again!

Seeing the path of the giant snake's attack, Pei Jingxing wanted to do the same trick again, but unexpectedly, the giant snake suddenly jumped up halfway, swung its tail, and slammed Pei Jingxing into the ruins.

The giant snake in the sky opened its mouth wide and charged towards Pei Jingxing again!
