Chapter 158 Bad news

Qi Jingzhi was stunned when he heard the words, no wonder the gatekeepers would have such a strange reaction, the Gu team was even bluntly warning him, it must be because he heard the rumors and suspected that he was sent by the court to drive away evil spirits, The heart-breaking murderer of the Town Demon Academy.

This is no wonder to them, anyone who saw the terrifying scene of the Tengu Hengkong, saw the city gate that was smashed to the ground, and then heard such horrible rumors, even if they didn't believe it immediately, how many times would they believe it? More or less doubts will arise in my heart, but I, the detective of the Linzhou Town Demon Academy, drove thousands of miles, and it was a coincidence that I entered the city at such a time...

Thinking about it this way, the Gu team and dozens of gatekeepers have actually restrained themselves, and they obviously didn't fully listen to the rumors, which shows that they are much stronger than ordinary people like restaurant shopkeepers in terms of courage and insight. It is worthy of being an elite soldier of the capital.

"As for the so-called evil ghost 'Jiang', there is also the saying of bribing the tengu with a living heart and liver, but it matches the tengu's minion that Wan'er is talking about..."

Qi Jingzhi turned this thought in his mind, and felt that it was not without reason, and he immediately asked: "Shopkeeper, did the rumors mention what that evil spirit looks like? Has anyone actually seen it?"

The face of the shopkeeper of the restaurant became more and more terrified. He looked outside the door and said in a low voice: "It is said that he is wearing a dog's skin and has iron claws. With one claw, he can disembowel a person and take out his heart and liver! As for I don’t know if anyone has seen it, anyway, there was a lot of noise last night, when everyone was standing in the street watching the excitement, but many people said the same thing.”

"Dog skin and iron claws? Many people say that?"

When Wan'er mentioned Tiangou, she didn't have such details, but ordinary people in Jiuzhen County, such as restaurant shopkeepers, could describe them so vividly, which made Qi Jingzhi feel more and more wrong.

"Behind this incident, there must be people with ulterior motives making waves. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the whole city to spread the news so quickly, and the public would know about it. hospital!"

"As for the image of 'Jiang', most of it is a pre-made rhetoric to echo with the Tengu, or it may be that the old man showed his whereabouts when chasing the Tengu last night, and it was taken as far-fetched by others."

"Think about it, too. Since it is an evil spirit enshrining tengu, wearing dog fur and iron claws is naturally a matter of course, and it will convince the listener even more."

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help frowning, he really couldn't understand what kind of purpose the people behind were trying to achieve.

In his opinion, whether it was the mighty Tengu who shattered a city gate last night, or the horrifying rumors in front of him, they did not actually cause any real casualties, but instead terrified the people in the city. means mostly.

But even if this county can be disturbed, so what, there is a county army under the jurisdiction of the Dutong Mansion, there is an official office of the Zhenmo Duwei, and there is even a Marquis Mansion.

The Marquis of An Feng, who is of a detached status in the six states of the East China Sea, in the mouth of the lame old Taoist, must be a very powerful person after thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi shook his head, opened his mouth to order a few random meals, and prepared to go to Baiyun Palace to hand over Wei Bao when he arrived, and then leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and rush back to find the whereabouts of Grandpa.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the restaurant clerk who was sent to invite Wei Bao suddenly ran back with a face full of horror, his eyes were only on Bannu, but he forgot to look at the road, and stumbled on the threshold in a panic One fall.

Seeing that he was about to fall hard, Qi Jingzhi swayed and rushed to the door in an instant, reaching out his hand to hold him firmly.

It took a while for the rash guy to come back to his senses, and he thanked Qi Jingzhi repeatedly.

"The guest asked you to invite someone, why did you come back in a panic all by yourself?" The shopkeeper at the side saw that he was safe and sound, and hurriedly reprimanded loudly after heaving a sigh of relief.

Hearing this, the little blood on the boy's face disappeared immediately, and he said to Qi Jingzhi with a mournful face: "Guest officer, I just ran halfway when I heard people on the street go crazy saying that it was someone from the Weijia Lane." They're all dead, the whole alley is full of blood dripping from every house, it's like a river of blood, I heard that there's no way to get down there!"

The shopkeeper of the restaurant was obviously taken aback when he heard the words, but he still scolded with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about! The Jindao Wei family lives in the Wei family alley, even the old man Wei Gong If you're not at home, there are some good players with knives and sticks in the whole family, how could they die quietly?"

"It's been rumored all over the streets! It is said that the Wei family's main house has the most blood flowing out in the Wei family alley!"

The man said, pointing to the sky tremblingly, with an inexplicable expression on his face: "Even the dog has appeared in the world, what is impossible? Maybe it's because Wei Gong killed too many demons in his life, and now While he's not at home..."

"Keep your voice down! Are you so frightened that you've lost your mind? Why do you dare to say anything!"

The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly, and he interrupted quickly, and after taking a breath, he asked in a trembling voice: "How did the Wei family members die, but all the hearts and livers were taken away by evil spirits?"

"There is such a rumor, but I have been listening to it for a long time, and I haven't heard of anyone who saw it with my own eyes!"

The clerk shook his head, and suddenly saw Qi Jingzhi frowning tightly, and slapped his head suddenly: "Oh, not all of them are dead, I heard that the brother Leopard that the guest officer asked me to invite is alive! It's also his fate , Two days ago, I was invited by the villagers outside the city to make peace, and I got up early today to return to the city, so I escaped a catastrophe!"

Qi Jingzhi saw that this guy was all hearsay, knowing that he couldn't get the truth from him, he immediately asked the shortcut to Weijiaxiang, stepped on Bannu and ran away.

As the sun rose higher and higher, there were more pedestrians on the street visible to the naked eye at this time. Seeing Bannu's burly figure and fierce running momentum from a distance, they immediately screamed and ran away.

Xu Shi had never run recklessly in front of so many people, and Ban Nu soon became proud, and his neck was raised to brighten his throat, and he was slapped on the horse's head by Qi Jingyi, and immediately let out a high-pitched roar. It turned into a low, indistinct whimper in his throat.

Qi Jingzhi's eyes fell on his own mount, but what he was thinking about was the angry roar of the old man last night when he chased the Tengu in the air.

That senior seems to have recognized that the other party is a fake, but even if it is a fake, it is by no means easy to get along with such a big momentum.

Qi Jingzhi just felt puzzled, why the people behind it expended so much thought and made such a big noise, but only did something to disturb people's hearts, and didn't want to hear the bad news that Jiuzhen Wei's family was almost wiped out in a blink of an eye.

Then contacting so many ghosts and strange things he saw yesterday, the ominous feeling in the young man's heart became more and more intense.

It seemed that the county he was in had fallen into an invisible net that was tightening suddenly!
