237, meal blood jackal
After several people died, Zhuo Jingning had no choice but to wake up after the maids of the yamen, and told them that they had encountered evil things that ran out of the mountains and killed a few people and ran away.
The blood of the person killed by the four evil ghosts was sucked dry, but there was no wound on his body. The way of death was so strange that it deepened the persuasiveness of Zhuo Jingning's statement, so no one doubted it.
Zhuo Jingning ordered someone to bury those people for a grand burial, and forbid them from talking about this matter to the public, and finally went to appease Xue Qiuyue.
The "his maid" that the little fox said was her, and the dead were her sister-in-law and her nephew.
After years of getting along, I fled all the way, and shared hardships, even if I had no feelings, I still have it now.
That night, the county yard was bright and the yamen runners were trembling, fearing that the evil thing that killed people would appear again.
If Zhuo Jingning had not been too prestige, someone would have been unable to help but suggest that the Taoist priests in the prison be released to let them catch these evil things.
Zhuo Jingning now opened the map of the Evil County, and soon he found Qingshi Village.
This is a mountain village under the jurisdiction of the evil county, but it can almost be considered a place outside. Because of the exploitation of Lin, Gu and Gong families in the early years, someone in Qingshi Village brought tea to Song State in anger.
Half a year has passed.
There were dozens of people when they went there, but only three people when they returned.
Not only did the three of them successfully find a buyer for tea in Qingshi Village, but they also opened up a trade route.
The villagers of Qingshi Village rarely come to the county town. Usually, they order a batch of grain, cloth and other things, and the prices are very high, so they are sent directly to someone.
As for tax payment, Zhuo Jingning ordered a minor official to check it out and found that after hearing that the evil county was coming to the county magistrate, he sent the corresponding taxes before he took office and recorded them in the account book.
Zhuo Jingning couldn't help but ponder for a moment after hearing this.
Qingshi Village seems a bit strange!
But there was something strange about it, and it was a bit unreasonable. Zhuo Jingning let go and then carefully observed the geographical location of Qingshi Village.
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and next to a river on the other side. The terrain is quite steep, and the entire Qingshi Village seems to be located in a small pit.
"Source Pool."
"Blood of resentment."
"Died water."
“Sow lotus seeds.”
Zhuo Jingning recalled carefully. He guessed the reason why Prince Longqing, the ancestor of the Qing court, chose this place. After killing people, after their blood was watered to the land under his feet, he could just seal one side, and flood the nearby river water.
Then sprinkle lotus seeds, allowing them to slowly grow and bloom in this area of water that covers countless corpses and souls, and eventually blossom and bear fruit, gathering the immortal fruits for the enjoyment of the ancestors of the Qing court.
“Feed to all people…”
Just enjoying the fruit of immortality, you need to kill hundreds of people. So what about other aspects?
There were not many ancestor ghosts in the Qing Dynasty royal family!
Prince, princess, some powerful concubines from her parents' families. If Qi Fei'er was not poisoned to death and the deep winter tribe she was born in was stronger, then she would become one of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty royal family in a hundred years.
Such a large group of evil ghosts need not a small amount of blood sacrifices.
The local ghost kings traded into ghost quotas, and even the god names given by ghosts and gods. In addition to collecting wealth, it is probably that the royal family's ancestors had too many ghosts, which plundered most of the blood sacrifices in the Qing court, so that the ghost kings had to come up with this bad strategy.
Zhuo Jingning put away the map and asked someone to seal it.
Then he went to rest.
The next day when Zhuo Jingning got up, he heard the wolf stabs coming and report that there were rumors outside that "the blood-fed jackal in the south attracted evil things in the mountains, and everyone around him would be implicated and killed."
The Wolf Thorn was not here last night, but he also learned from the yamen runners what happened last night. At this moment, he hesitated and asked, "Sir, what is the evil thing in the mountains?"
"Have you heard of something?" Zhuo Jingning took a sip of tea and asked lightly.
"In the tribe, a monkey stone statue was worshipped in his early years. The elders in the tribe called General Divine Monkey. Later, for some reason, they stopped offering sacrifices and the stone statue was also discarded. Then, for a few years, some people died in the tribe every once in a while, which was a similar way to those people last night." said Wolf Thorn.
Zhuo Jingning raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that there would be something like this. After thinking about it, he said, "Let's go to your tribe tomorrow to check it out. Also, if you go and check it out, who is so slight. After finding out, see which family this person has colluded with, and then..."
He paused, his expression became cold, and his tone became a little heavier: "Add a batch of people who asked Qiu Hou to kill!"
"Yes, sir." Lang Tshu was delighted. Since Zhuo Jingning decided to go to his tribe, his plan could be implemented. He planned to give his sister Ajiu to Zhuo Jingning in exchange for wealth and glory, but unfortunately something happened.
It turned out that his sister had concealed something from him. She was teased by the rich child because at the beginning, she was with a scholar, and that scholar had a grudge with the rich child.
The scholar had no ink in his belly, but he had a greasy and powdery face, and was very good at coaxing people. He was so fascinated that his sister was almost forgotten. When he heard his plan, he disagreed with it. But his father gave power to him and handed over the power of the tribe to him, he felt that he had owed Ajiu a lot earlier, so he acquiesced to Ajiu for finding a husband himself in this matter.
Lang Tshu didn't like the scholar at all, so he not only asked someone to watch Ajiu and prevented her from going out, but also asked someone to threaten the scholar.
It’s a pity that the scholar was very eye-catching and knew that Wolf Thorn didn’t dare to do anything to him. He looked like he was the eldest brother-in-law, and Wolf Thorn really wanted to kill the scholar.
Zhuo Jingning put down the teacup, but this incident did not affect his emotions. A maid came in and lit sandalwood, so he began to practice and recite scriptures.
It's time to do your homework every day again.
The wolf thorn was very efficient. Zhuo Jingning had just finished his homework and came in and reported: "Sir, my subordinates have found out that they are a maid and a yamen runner. The yamen runner was an old man who followed the Gu family in his early years. That maid was one of the maids who died tragically last night, and he was as close as a sister."
"Did it be done by the Gu family?" Zhuo Jingning asked. The evil people's county had such ability and were dissatisfied with him, and it seemed that the Gu family had just been there.
"I found Lin Banto and asked him to use the Lin family's people to test it. It was indeed." Wolf Thorn replied. Lin Banto was still recovering from his injuries at home. However, when he went there, his injuries had already healed, but he just took the opportunity to stay at home and wanted to rest for a while.
After hearing this, Zhuo Jingning suddenly asked, "How is Lin Bantuo's injury?"
"I've raised it, but I want to rest for a while at home." Wolf Thorn replied truthfully.
"It seems that he is using you to tell me about this." Zhuo Jingning suddenly said this, then pondered, and ordered: "You bring people to block all the entrances and exits in the county, especially Qingshi Village. Anyone is prohibited from going to Qingshi Village. If there is not enough staff, go to the nursing home."
The current situation is not suitable for raiding the family again, so this matter can only be put on hold.
And there are some strange places here.
