Holy Bone

Chapter 52

"Open the door!"

"Open the door!"

"The government investigates the case, open the door quickly!"

……

"A murderer escaped into Chang County!"

"The whole city of Yamen is searching for the murderer!"

"The owner of the coffin shop, hurry up and open the door!"

……

Chang County at midnight.

I was woken up by the hasty knock on the door and the noise of many people.

Suddenly the whole city jumped.

One after another, Fushou shops, incense candle shops... were knocked on the door by murderous yamen all night, and the city was searching for the murderer the government was looking for.

"Master, what is this?"

The owner of the longevity material store who sold the coffins, and the grandfather and grandson who guarded the store were woken up by the yamen overnight.

And one of the yamen took out a bamboo wine bottle, unplugged the wine stopper, and suddenly the smell of wine wafted out.

The yamen's attitude was very strong and forced the grandfather and grandson to drink a sip of wine from the bamboo tube.

"Don't worry, the old man. This is Sanyang wine. It can not only strengthen the body, but also use it for investigation. I also ask the old man not to embarrass the officials in the yali. Everyone is for the safety of the people of Changxian County."

Jin An asked the yamen to retire, took the bamboo tube himself, and said gently to the old man.

Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were hesitant, the yamen on the side did not immediately take the bottle and drink the Sanyang wine, but directly drew the knife.

Jin An did not stop the yamen from drawing his sword this time.

Because now is a critical moment for the city-wide manhunt, we must race against time.

"Drink...drink..."

"We'll drink it right away..."

"Please don't draw your sword, sir. If you have something to say, we will do it right away."

The older grandfather, knowing that even a scholar can't make sense when encountering a soldier, did not dare to resist the official's words, gudong, gudong, he drank a sip of Sanyang wine himself, and then fed his grandson a sip.

"Also ask the old man and your grandson to take off their shirts and raise their arms."

"We're just checking to see if there are any sword wounds on your body. The murderer sought by the yamen was injured before escaping."

Jin An made a small lie.

Sometimes people only need a simple reason to cooperate with the yamen, and there is no need to create too much panic in the hearts of the people.

Learn about Soso.

There was a screeching sound of undressing.

After checking the armpits and chest, there was no abnormality, Jin An then let the yamen around him enter the store to conduct a thorough search to see if there were other people hiding in the store.

Jin An's current cultivation base has a limited number of breath-seeking techniques.

It is not possible to use it multiple times a day.

……

……

This whole city raid, chickens and dogs danced all night.

At dawn, these noisy voices gradually subsided.

However, in the city-wide raid that night, Jin An did not gain anything, and Jin An began to wonder if his thinking was wrong?

The other party didn't use the Fushou store, the incense candle store... to hide the paper sticking?

Even Jin An burned all the paper he found in the whole city with a fire, and he couldn't find any clues.

Of course, all the money to buy these papers was allocated by the yali.

After Jin An thought deeply, he found Feng Caitou again. During the day, he was hiding in the dark and did not dare to come out. He planned to let the yamen of ordinary people search every household in the city once.

Fortunately, it is once a year, and the most grand Qingming temple fair in Changxian is approaching, and the security is tense, so the magistrate Zhang agreed to the city-wide raid.

Can be busy for two or three days, still nothing.

as if……

This time, is the dust settled?
Jin An originally wanted to fish out a few more paper stickers to earn more yin virtue.

Regarding the acquisition of Yin De, he gradually had some conjectures in his heart.

The acquisition of this virtue seems to be related to being able to change the fate of others?

Just like giving food to beggars and setting up stalls to give rice porridge to help the poor, it is just a meal for ordinary people, and it is far from being able to change people's fate.

However, he solved the case twice and changed the fate of the deceased and several families.

For another example, the Zhi Zha people he beheaded were all sinister monsters who had killed people, and the underworld disturbed the order of the earth.

These are also related to changing the fate of others, repaying the grievances for the dead, and making more people killed in the world.

……

And now.

He is very wicked.

He also relied heavily on the century-old tonic soup and the century-old medicinal wine cultivation brought by the Emperor Yinde.

Without these hundred-year-old medicines, how could he make rapid progress, just like Zhang Wuji, who was on the hook every day!
Now, after Jin An killed three paper stickers, and removed the new century-old "Shengui Dabu Soup" and the century-old "Dragon Tiger Medicine Wine", he still has the number of yin and virtue left——

Erbaiwu pick up eight.

On this day, the whole city searched for two or three days, but there was no harvest. I was afraid that it would become a nuisance to the people if it continued like this. The government passed an order and the whole city search ended.

And once the matter was over, Feng Zhaotou, who was very knowledgeable in the world of people, hosted Jin An and the old Taoist priest again at the Deshan Lou Restaurant.One is to hold a banquet to thank the two for their help, and the other is to thank the old Taoist priest for his life-saving grace.

Hearing Feng Zhaotou entertaining guests at the Deshan Building, the old Taoist priest who had been thinking about the Babao Chicken last time was so greedy that his eyes were green.

……

After a full meal.

The topic of the three people could not help but turn to Zheng Yuanhu and Zhi Zharen.

"In the past few days, we have sent a few brothers to Shangpan Village to re-investigate the gunpowder case. As a result, we received unexpected news that Li Cailiang's body disappeared."

"Flying away?"

"It really disappeared, not stolen." Feng Zhaotou's face was still a little pale due to excessive blood loss.

Coupled with the [-] days of injury, even if the physique of the warrior is stronger than that of ordinary people, the recovery time is faster, but the stab wound on Feng Chutou's chest is still not completely healed, so Feng Chutou can't touch the drinks at this banquet. They use tea instead of wine, and hold a celadon teacup in their palms.

"But because the Qingming Temple Fair is approaching, the case of Li Cailiang's body loss can only be left behind. Now the focus of the yali is on the Qingming Temple Fair, to protect the Qingming Temple Fair to be held smoothly. A large number of tourists from other places flooded into the city to maintain the security of the whole city. It’s the most important thing right now.”

Hearing this, Jin An asked curiously, "Zheng Zaitou became a possessed evil corpse when he was investigating the case in Shangpan Village. Are there any other doubts in Shangpan Village?"

Feng Zhaotou shook his head solemnly: "I haven't found it yet."

Jin An thought for a while: "Then, will the private gunpowder case, which was originally closed by Zheng Caotou, be reopened?"

Feng Zhaotou said solemnly: "I also ask Young Master Jin'an and Chief Chen to keep the next conversation a secret. To be honest, the voices in the yamen now feel that the time and location of this private gunpowder case is very sensitive..."

"It's very likely that it's coming for the upcoming Qingming Temple Fair..."

"But now there is a serious shortage of manpower, and other places have no time to take care of it. We can only do our best to defend Changxian County and use all our hands to strictly guard the safety of Changxian County and the Qingming Temple Fair."

"The county is understaffed. Magistrate Zhang has already reported the matter to Fucheng. Now we can only wait for the news from Fucheng!"

When talking about this, Feng Zhaotou mentioned another thing: "I wonder if the two of you have heard the folks beating darts?"
