[016] Wen Deng County
Twenty miles north of Chaotiandu, there is Wendeng County. This county is located at the intersection of four post roads and is also adjacent to Changxia River, a tributary of Chaotian Canal. Merchants, fleets and escort teams from south to north greatly promoted the economy of this county.
Therefore, other industries in Wendeng County are ordinary, except for inns, brothels and wineries that have been green, which have become the three major local characteristics over time.
Recently, a county citizen reported to the local government office, saying that a local inn had a local inn unfortunately fell into the Changxia River half a month ago. When others rescued him, the hall was so angry that it died.
This book was just an accident, but the bizarre things that followed made Wendeng County feel panic.
After hearing the news, the family of the Paotang rushed to collect the body, and temporarily placed the body in the yard at home. However, they never thought that the body disappeared one night.
The family searched all over Wendeng County but found nothing, so they had to leave it alone.
But in the following period, many strange things happened one after another in the county. Many people fell into the water and died when they passed by the Changxia River at night, with as many as seventeen people killed.
After the county government intervened in the investigation, the constable and the arrested officers of several drowning victims learned that the victim did not accidentally fall into the Changxia River, but a strange man in the water grabbed his ankle and dragged him in.
The county magistrate of Wendeng County realized that this must be a turmoil. With the strength of his county magistrate's manpower, he was not enough to deal with the matter, so he wrote a letter and sent it to the Demon Fushi.
I hope that the Demon Fushi can send someone to solve the problem and eliminate future troubles forever.
This is the letter Su Qianqian gave to Ning Xiu.
Since entering the championship camp, Ning Xiu has never left Chaotiandu. This time he was ordered to go to Wendeng County, which can be regarded as a long-term understanding and open his eyes.
In addition to teaching martial arts techniques in the champion camp, the coach is also one of the must-learn techniques for apprentices, and he will train once every seven days. So Ning Xiu is a little more familiar with riding horses.
A horse was borrowed from the Demon Sect, and Ning Xiu immediately rode his horse away from Chaotiandu.
The location of Wendeng County is actually easy to identify. You just need to walk along the station outside Chaotiandu to easily reach it.
After sleeping in the open house for a day, the outline of the city wall of Wendeng County appeared in Ning Xiu's eyes.
This is a county town that looks small but is very exquisite everywhere. There are many big red lanterns hanging at the gate of the city wall and wind chimes are tied on it. Whenever someone passes by, you can hear the ding ding dong dong.
Ning Xiu did not wear the Xuanyin Chain Mail from the Demon Suppressing Secret this time when he went out. He felt that his outfit was too eye-catching.
Not to mention the people, even evil spirits know that you are the Demon-Superior after seeing you. This feeling of being in the dark is not something Ning Xiu likes.
The facts proved that this choice was still correct. When Ning Xiu rode into the city on a horse, no one paid attention to him.
When you come to Wendeng County, the first thing you do is to go to the yamen to report, so that you can learn more information that has not been written in the letter, so that Ning Xiu can start an investigation.
When he arrived at the county government gate, before the two guards could ask, Ning Xiu took out his iron horse, Fumoweiwei token and said, "This time, Fumoweishi sent me to your county to investigate and take me to see the county magistrate."
The Demon Fushi was an independent force from the court. Even the Iron Horse Demon Fushi had a very high official position. The guards did not dare to neglect them, so they immediately led Ning Xiu to the yamen.
Soon, Ning Xiu met Dong Fu, the county magistrate of Wendeng County in the study room of the county government.
This is a fat man with a bloated body, his eyes squeezed by the flesh on his face turned into squinting eyes. He saw that there were many delicacies on weekdays, which shows how good the economic situation of Wendeng County is.
"Are you?" Looking at the strange boy, Dong Fu put down the "Jin Ping Beauty Girl" in his hand and asked in confusion.
The guard hurriedly walked to him and explained with his ears. Dong Fu then stood up and smiled very honestly: "I don't know that the lord has arrived and I can't welcome you. I hope you can forgive me."
"You're welcome. Take me all the files about drowning cases in your hand and try to resolve them as soon as possible so as not to kill innocent people again." Ning Xiu sat down on the mahogany chair in front of the desk and said calmly.
"Yes, yes." Dong Fu immediately took a large number of files from the bookshelf behind him and placed them in front of Ning Xiu.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ning Xiu couldn't help but look at the book "The Golden Bottle Beauty" that Dong Fu had read before.
I saw that the book was thick and two fingers, and the writing was yellow. The seal also showed a vivid picture of a man and a woman. The three of them were dressed only 5%.
The general position is that a man is sitting by the bed, a woman is placing a wave on his head behind him, and a woman is washing her face in front of him. It is really hard not to suspect that this is a yellow book.
When Dong Fu walked over with a bunch of files, he happened to see Ning Xiu's curious eyes, and immediately smiled and said, "If you like it, just take it and read it. This book is pretty good."
"How could Ning read such a book? I read Spring and Autumn." Ning Xiu refused directly.
What a joke. I haven’t even read “Bai”, “Young Master” and “Gate” in my previous life. Can I read your big business book today?
Ning Xiu took the file file presented by Dong Fu and began to carefully check it out.
In addition to the first Shutang to drown in the Changxia River, a total of eighteen people were drowned in Wendeng County during the past half month.
These files record the identities of the eighteen people, family background and daily situations.
"Some people often fall and drown in Changxia River. Since some people say that something in the river drags passers-by into the water, you can ask more detailed questions, such as if anyone saw the thing that drags people into the water, what exactly does it look like?" Ning Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Dong Fu and asked.
Dong Fu scratched his head and three layers of flesh: "Sir, someone has seen it, but you may not believe it when you say it. That person said it was Li Ming in the water."
"Li Ming?"
"It's the runner-in-the-house that drowned and then disappeared."
Ning Xiu fell into deep thought. The hall was a dead person, so how could he drag someone into the water? The only explanation is that this guy became an evil spirit after his death.
After reading all the files compiled by Dong Fu, Ning Xiu stood up and said, "Okay, I already know the matter roughly. I'll go to Changxia River to take a look."
"Okay sir." Dong Fu looked at the guard who led Ning Xiu in the room and said, "You go with you. If you have any needs, you should do your best to achieve it and not neglect it."
"No need, I'm used to acting alone." Ning Xiu refused and walked out of the study.
After Ning Xiu left the study and disappeared in his eyes. Dong Fu sat back on the chair, picked up the "Jin Ping Yan Girl" on the table and muttered: "Chunqiu? What kind of book is that? Is it more exciting than my book?"
...
Since people drowned one after another in Changxia River, except for workers transporting at the ferry, ordinary people have rarely dared to approach Changxia River.
I was afraid that the rumored drowning ghost would be dragged into the water and lose my life in vain. So now the banks of Changxia River seem particularly deserted.
The seventeen victims in the file were killed at night, so Ning Xiu booked a room in Wendeng County and did not go out to Changxia River until the night ended.
When he arrived by the river, Ning Xiu used the spiritual eye viewing technique. If there was a drowning ghost in this river, he could pull it out at a glance.
But no matter how Ren Ningxiu checked, the Changxia River seemed extremely normal, and there was nothing wrong at all. This was an ordinary long river.
He could not, so he could only walk along the riverside.
Gugugugu!
After walking by the river for half a stick of incense, a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared on the originally calm lake surface. After these bubbles appeared, they swam quickly towards Ning Xiu.
"Yeah!" Ning Xiu's senses are now much sharper than before. When he heard the sound of water, he became aware of it.
Could it be that the drowning ghost appeared?
So Ning Xiu pretended to be calm, looked like nothing happened, and continued to move forward, waiting for the right opportunity before choosing to take action.
Wow!
When the bubbles came to the river, a pale arm instantly stretched out from under the water surface and grabbed Ning Xiu's ankle.
The wet touch pressed against his legs. Ning Xiu knew that this was definitely a drowning ghost. He immediately kicked it up and pulled the owner of the arm out from under the river.
With the luminous light, Ning Xiu finally saw clearly what this thing looked like.
A person with a swollen body!
His eyes were soaked by the river and swollen, and his two eyelids were tightly placed together, making it impossible to see the eyeballs at all.
When Ning Xiu violently pulled out of the water, the drowning ghost opened his mouth wide in fright. His mouth was covered with sharp teeth, and each one was not the shape that a normal person should have.
Bang!
Without any hesitation, Ning Xiu immediately punched the other party hard in the face. The red pure anode fist was simply a nemesis to the evil spirit.
The face of the drowning ghost suddenly turned red and smoked, and it sounded sizzling. After suffering pain, the first reaction of the drowning ghost was to escape back to the Changxia River.
But how could Ning Xiu give him this opportunity? He immediately poured his internal force into his right palm and pinched the throat of the drowning ghost.
Kick!
The throat of the ghost drowning ghost was pinched by Ning Xiu. After coming out of the demon-suppressing prison, Ning Xiu's strength became even stronger. This kind of ninth-grade evil spirit could not be his opponent at all.
Chapter completed!
