Zongren felt the severe pain from broken bones in his body.

But none of these could compare to the horror in his heart when he really saw the corpse of the old man in the Yin-Yang robe.

Sure enough, he died.

Sure enough, he died.

At this time, the body of the old man in the yin-yang robe was very miserable in Jin An's hands.

The entire chest collapsed, and all internal organs were shattered.

The skull is half flattened.

In order to avoid the old man with corpse spots, Jin An is cheating his death.

So even the skull was crushed by the opponent.

Just when Jin An passed through the ruins and was about to enter Jia's mansion, suddenly, there was a large number of footsteps in the dark night. Such a big movement happened in Jia's mansion, which alarmed the government, and was surrounded by more than a dozen night watchmen and township warriors. come over.

"Murder in the street, stop, who are you?"

Those yamen servants had just arrived at Jia's mansion, and what they saw was the old man's corpse in Jin'an's hands, and they drew their knives and surrounded Jin'an.

Jin An stopped in his tracks and calmly looked at the yamen servants surrounding him.

At this time, the young Zongren in Jia's mansion almost burst out laughing out of surprise when he saw the official servant who finally arrived belatedly.

cough.

cough cough.

As soon as he got emotional, his internal organs were injured, and he coughed up several mouthfuls of blood in succession. Just now, Jin An kicked the large earth and stone at his millstone with his feet, which shocked his internal organs.

"Guy, help me, we are from the Jiang family, we are from the Jiang family!"

"He is a demon who kills without blinking an eye. The officials should be careful that he violently kills people. Look at the corpse in his hand. That man is the master of the eighth lady of the Jiang family. When this demon sees us, he will say nothing." Not to mention severely injuring the eighth miss of the Jiang family, and shamelessly sneak attacking and killing the master of the eighth miss of the Jiang family!"

Seeing the rescue, Zong Renru desperately grabbed the last straw after falling into the water. What he was afraid of when he came up was that he would spout blood, move out of Jiang's identity, and accuse Jin'an of being a demon.

really.

When the yamen servants heard that the Jiang family was involved, their faces changed drastically.

The atmosphere surrounding Jin'an became more tense and tense.

"Several officials, everything I say is true."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the Jia family present. The Jia family have all seen it. It was the monster who attacked us first!"

Most of the bones in his body were broken, and Zong Ren, who was covered in blood and horrified, screamed miserably.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is all misunderstanding..."

"Daoist Jin'an is the savior of our Jia family, how could he be a demon?"

Jia's family anxiously explained for Jin'an.

But Jin'an did act first, and Zong Ren didn't lie, which made their explanation lack confidence. They could only repeat in vain that they believed in Jin'an's character, and they were definitely not heretics.

The old Taoist was still calm, and he hit the nail on the head: "Several bad guys, there are evil corpses making trouble in Jia's house today. My little brother and I are two Taoist priests from the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. Today we are here to subdue demons and eliminate demons in Jia's house. The Jia family can testify for us, and the people near the Wu Zang Taoist Temple can also testify for us this morning. Look at the corpse in my little brother’s hand, it’s not like a normal dead body at all, but It's a dead, unresolved corpse."

Hearing this, Jin An glanced in the direction of the old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist kept winking at Jin'an, and Jin'an immediately understood.

boom.

He threw the corpse-spotted old man in his hand at the feet of a catcher.

"Right from wrong, you can tell just by looking at the corpse."

Jin An has a calm expression on his face. He has never done anything wrong, and he is not afraid of being crooked.

Not afraid of torture by ghosts and gods.

When those yamen servants saw the corpse of the old man with corpse spots thrown at their feet, their scalps tingled and exploded. Is this a corpse that has just died? Green corpse spots have grown on it, and it is black and ugly, disgusting , This is a mummy that has been placed for many years!

The timid Xiangyong even exclaimed, feeling the chill on his back, couldn't help but secretly glanced at his back, as if there was an evil corpse lying on his back.

At this time, the Jia family did not hesitate to offend the Jiang family, but also took the initiative to stand up and speak for Jin'an.

When the body of the Seventh Miss of the Jiang family was dug up in the ancestral grave, there was no room for relief for the great enmity of digging the ancestral grave.

They were all bullied to the graves of their ancestors.

If they are still shrinking their heads, then the Jia family's fate will be over.

"That's right, Daoist Jin'an and Daoist Chen are both exorcist priests invited by our brothers to the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. These two are exorcist priests with real skills, masters of exorcism!"

"It's you, the Jiang family, who came to my Jia's house uninvited today. What's your intention? I think the explosion and chaos in our Jia's house tonight is because the three of you deliberately came to our Jia's house to make trouble!"

With one person standing up, the remaining Jia family brothers also stood up one after another to support Jin'an.

"That's right, Daoist Jin'an and Daoist Chen were invited by my Jia family. It's justified, and you Jiang family are outsiders!"

"What a Jiang family. You are mixed up with an evil Jianghu cultivator who is neither human nor ghost, and broke into my Jia's house again. I want to ask, what exactly do you Jiang's family want to do when you come to our Jia's house?"

"Why do you appear in the courtyard where my elder brother lives? Where are my elder brother's people? What about the maids and servants in my elder brother's private courtyard? Tell me! Do you Jiang family want to kidnap my elder brother? Do you want to annex my Jia?" What a vicious heart! Hand over my elder brother immediately, if my elder brother hurts even half a vellus hair, your life will be worse than death!"

"The Jiang family and the evil cultivators of the rivers and lakes are mixing together. I think they want to mess up the cornerstone of the Kangding Kingdom and the court. Fortunately, Taoist Jin'an has strong magic power. He can tell at a glance that the old man is not a human being. Otherwise, the Jiang family and the evil snakes of the rivers and lakes will continue to be together." They will mix together and deceive the people of the world, and they don't know what they are planning behind their backs! What will they do that will harm the stability of the people in our Wuzhou Prefecture and the stability of the Kangding Kingdom!"

As the saying goes, hitting a snake and hitting seven inches.

If you beat a snake, you won't die, but you will suffer backlash.

At this time, the Jiang family should be completely beaten to death, so the Jia family brothers joined forces and put a big hat on the Jiang family as soon as they came up. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, it is enough to make the Jiang family drink a pot.

The Jia family now hates the Jiang family to death.

The Jiang family actually dug up their ancestral graves and buried the Jiang family's dead in their mother's coffin. This is no different from murdering their mother.

How could Zongren justify with one mouth more than the Jia family opened so many mouths.

His face turned pale, and he explained in both surprise and anger: "Our Eighth Miss came out of kindness and knew that Jia's house had some strange incidents recently, so I invited an expert exorcist to come to Jia's house to exorcise demons."

"It's just your one-sided words to say that Miss Ba's master is an evil cultivator. Even if he is really an evil cultivator, we didn't know it beforehand. You are framing and spreading rumors about the Jiang family. The Jiang family will not let you go! "

"Guys, you should immediately arrest the two Taoist priests who hurt people first. Miss Ba and I are the victims."

The young Zongren was miserable, and he tried his best to pretend to be innocent, hoping to win sympathy.

"Master Jia is still alive. He has been poisoned by the corpse and has been asleep. He is in the attic now. We are here to save Master Jia. Your Jia family should thank us for protecting Master Jia. Otherwise, Master Jia would have You will die in Huangquan."

"Because we discovered that Jia Zhidie's corpse hidden in Jia's mansion wanted to kill Master Jia, so we came here to protect Master Jia's safety and prevent Jia Zhidie's corpse from hurting people after death."

Zong Ren desperately explained.

Desperately clear the suspicion for him and the Jiang family.

Now it is no longer a simple murder case, but involves the conflict of interests between the two aristocratic families in Fucheng. The small yamen servants in front of them do not have the power to handle the two aristocratic families at all.

They didn't dare to capture young Zongren and the eighth miss of the Jiang family, for fear of offending the mammoth Jiang family.

He didn't dare to arrest Jin'an either. Now the whole family of Jia's family was speaking for Jin'an, obviously wanting to fight against Jiang's family.

Instead, as they were in a dilemma, after hearing the movement, more and more people gathered around, and the foreheads of these yamen servants were sweating profusely.

Fortunately, the savior arrived in time.

Under the night, there was the deafening sound of orderly footsteps, as well as the clanging of swords, guns and armor. It was a large number of soldiers from the barracks outside the city, well-trained soldiers who entered the city to quell the chaos.

Jin An couldn't be more familiar with the leader.

It was the captain general.

At this time, the captain's injury has recovered.

Today, he is not wearing the green python robe, but the more majestic thunder pattern black robe, and his hair is tied up with the most common wooden hairpin among the people.

Under the leadership of the captain general, this army, like the irresistible imperial luck, suppressed those monsters hiding in the dark who were ready to move, and did not dare to move rashly.

The captain came riding on a tall horse.

After he came to Jia's mansion, he soon learned what had happened.

"What are you doing, just stand still."

All of a sudden, there was a loud shout from the soldiers.

It turned out that it was Jin'an who was within the encirclement. He moved his footsteps and stood on a high ground on the ruins of the ruins.

Jin An replied calmly: "I don't like being overlooked."

"The position is just right now."

Jin An, who was standing on the height of the ruins, happened to be at the same level as the captain riding on the pony.

This was the first official meeting between Jin An and the captain who controlled the military power in Fucheng.

"Bold!"

"presumptuous!"

The cavalry guards guarding the captain thought they had encountered a thorn, so they shouted loudly and were about to step forward to subdue Jin'an.

The captain raised his hand and stopped his brothers who were about to confront Jin'an opponents.

"You are no match for him. This young Taoist leader really wants to run away. Among the people present, no one can keep him."

After the captain finished speaking, he looked at Jin'an with a big laugh: "Haha, you are an interesting little Taoist leader, unlike the old-fashioned Taoist priests I meet in my daily life, who only know how to be pure and boring and meditate every day. , How about this, in order to show my heart, I will reward you with a 'prison calamity'."

"Come here, take the two Taoist priests from the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera, and the Jiang family, and put them in prison. Take the old man's body with you."

Young Zongren opened his mouth to speak, wanting to reveal his identity as the eighth miss of the Jiang family, and wanted to say something to delay the rescue of the Jiang family, but before he could open his mouth, General Du Wei's eyes were decisive, and he looked at it without emotion. Glancing at him: "Why, you want to disobey me?"

"Or do you want to move out of the identity of Jiang's family and let me cast a trap?"

The captain general was talking and laughing to Jin An just now.

Turning around, he turned into a ruthless army killer.

Zong Ren was so frightened that he didn't dare to look directly into the captain's eyes, so he answered bravely, "No, I don't dare, I just want to remind the captain of one thing, this Jia family is going crazy..."

"The goddess of water, Jia Zhidie, hasn't been wiped out yet, and I'm worried that the officers and men in the army will suffer a secret loss, so I want to remind the captain..."

Even though Zong Ren lowered his head, he could still feel the tingling pain on his back.

The captain's eyes were like blades, and he kept staring at him.

After a few breaths, Zong Ren felt the thorns disappearing from his body, and the captain's eyes were removed from him, and he no longer paid attention to him.

Zong Ren heaved a sigh of relief.

It wasn't until this time that Du Wei said plainly: "Water God Empress? I have long wanted to see what the Dragon King looks like."

"I don't know if I have captured one of the dragon king's water goddesses. Will the dragon king show up tonight? It just saves me from going down to Yinyi River to find him."

Zong Ren's body trembled slightly when he heard the words.

Uneasy eyes.

……

……

Fucheng Prison.

The air was filled with all kinds of putrid smells, including damp and musty, sour smells of rotten vegetables and straw mats, and rotten smells of dead rats.

There is also the turbidity and foul smell caused by the lack of air circulation all year round.

The dim torches with limited lighting added a bit of gloom to the long corridors of the underground prison.

Jin An always wanted to complain.

Couldn't the ancients make their prisons magnificent and punctual?
There is sunshine in the heart.

Only then can we yearn for the sun even more.

You let criminals live in a dark and depressive environment all day long. People think about negative emotions all day long, and they will suffer from mental illness even if they are not sick. This has properly increased the probability of recidivism after serving their sentence.

This is still a disadvantage because there is no concept of mental illness in this era.

At this time, Jin An was locked in the same cell as the old Taoist priest.

"Old Dao, are you not nervous at all?"

In the cell, the old Taoist priest, who was pulling haystacks to catch cockroaches, looked up at Jin An: "Why are you nervous?"

While meditating calmly, Jin An regained his physical strength as soon as possible, while looking at the old Taoist priest, he said, "I am now charged with the crime of murder, old Taoist, you can be regarded as half an accomplice. .”

"I heard that there is no water in the frontier, and there is no food to eat. Except for the long yellow sand, there are only dried corpses in the desert."

"Ha, finally caught one."

The old Taoist didn't answer Jin An's words right away, but took off his shoes, took off his sock bag, and threw the cockroach into the sock bag, and then the old god answered Jin An's question.

"If you want to have your head beheaded at Lacaishikou, you must be beheaded before me, little brother. You are not in a hurry, little brother. Why should I be so anxious?"

"Anyway, I am an old man who has lived half a year longer than you, my little brother. I have seen flowers, plants, soy rice, oil, salt, and delicacies of mountains and seas in this life. I am an old man and I have earned decades more than you, my little brother. You will not lose in this life." .”

The old Taoist said leisurely, but he was very open.

He put his shoes back on.

Still carrying his white sock bag.

The smoke caused Jin An to move his buttocks, and sat at the door of the most ventilated cell, panting heavily.

"Speaking of beheading, I think of a folk legend..."

Jin An was indeed as the old Taoist said, with a calm expression on his face. After killing someone and being imprisoned by the government, he still had the time to tell the old Taoist a story.

"This folk story tells that in the past, a prisoner made a big mistake and was taken to Caishikou to beheaded. He didn't want to die, so someone told him that when he was beheaded at Caishikou, he felt a pain in the skin of his neck. At the moment, the person immediately rolls to the side. As long as the speed is fast enough, he can be faster than the knife in the executioner's hand. To die by the name of a foreigner, to hide his name, and to live the rest of his life for him, can save him from death, this is called deceiving the world and stealing his name."

"Because the lifespan is not over, the person who died brutally still has the lifespan in the life and death book in the judge's hand."

"Sure enough, on the day of the interrogation, the prisoner survived after doing what he did. He hid in the countryside where no one knew him, concealed his identity, pretended to be someone else's name and Yangshou, not only married a wife, but also gave birth to a pair of children."

"Old man, tell me, if we are really taken to Caishikou and beheaded, who of us will be faster than the knife in the executioner's hand?"

At this time, the old Taoist priest, who had put on his cloth shoes again, was not moved at all after hearing Jin An's story: "Then little brother, have you ever heard of 'Qiuhou asks to beheaded' and 'Autumn's settlement'?"

"When the government pronounces your crimes, it will stamp the court seal on your numerous indictments. This seal is like a tattoo on the forehead of a prisoner, which will never be erased in a lifetime. Autumn is the season of the year. In the season with the most murderous intentions, the days after autumn are getting shorter and shorter, and the shadow of people is getting shorter and shorter. As the saying goes, the name of a person, the shadow of a tree, when your shadow is too short to cover the When people are yin and virtue, it is easiest to seduce the world to kill, and settle accounts after autumn."

Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest in surprise.

It turns out that there are such allusions about asking about beheading after autumn, and settling accounts after autumn.

"But the old Taoist, I don't think we can die." The old Taoist said confidently.

"The Jia family is now dead with the Jiang family. No matter what we say this time, we are standing up for the Jia family to offend the Jiang family. Whether it is public or private, the Jia family will try their best to protect us from going out."

"It depends on whether the Jia family and the Jiang family are good at mediating."

"So in order to increase our chances of saving our lives, before I was taken away by the officers and soldiers, I quietly asked Jia's family to go to the He Mansion to find the eldest lady. When the eldest lady heard that little brother, you were imprisoned in the prefecture city prison, the eldest lady would definitely rescue the little one." Brother you."

"No matter how well-informed the Jiang family is, facing the joint pressure from the He family and the Jia family of the three major medicine merchants in Fucheng, his Jiang family has to weigh the gains and losses. Besides, the Jiang family has its own reasons this time. In some places, they collude with the evil demons and heretics of the three religions and nine streams, this matter can be big or small, if it is big, it will lose your head, if it is small, it is a small crime of being deceived without knowing it, and it is irrelevant. Punishment."

"Besides, the Xue family also has an old friend of ours, Li Huwei. Li Huwei is now the head of the Xue family's guards. Li Huwei should be able to speak a few words in the Xue family... Ha, I have thrown myself into the trap again. Only."

The old Taoist caught two more cockroaches this time, beamed with joy, and quickly put them in his sock bag. Now he has caught a total of three cockroaches.

"So, little brother, you are not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry?"

The old Taoist blinked at Jin An.

The two foxes, the old and the young, looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled, and they all guessed what the other was thinking.
