Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 105 Haunted?inside the factory

Chen Jin opened the door and showed the bronze medal in his hand.

After inspecting the sign, the officials changed their faces and went to chase the people in the next room.

Having an official status can often avoid a lot of shitty troubles on many occasions.

After the inn entered this group of people, it suddenly became lively and noisy.

Chen Jin's hearing is keen, and the sound insulation effect of the room is sloppy, so he can hear a lot of conversations, so he can roughly hear:
It turned out that the prisoner escorted by this team of officials was Fu Mingzheng, a great Confucian in Jiangzhou, who was going to escort him northward, to the capital, and to be sent to prison.

Fu Mingzheng was charged with "conspiring to rebel against the remnants of the previous dynasty".

This crime is not light, and once convicted, he will not be able to escape being executed.

Chen Jin felt that he should tell the teacher about it.

After hearing this, Su Xiaowen sighed with emotion: "Mingzheng and I were in the same year. When he was named on the gold list, he was three places higher than me. From what I know about him, it is possible to complain, but it is possible to conspire against him." Rebellion is absolutely impossible. From this we can see that if you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse for it?"

Chen Jin is silent, to this world, he is just an unknown person, who does not have the status and strength to turn the world around.All he can do now is to make himself and his relatives and friends around him live better.

that is it.

However, Su Xiaowen had a feeling of sadness: "Even Mingzheng has to go to prison. If I don't die, after returning to Beijing as an official, I will definitely not be able to escape this. Hehe, it's better to die."

His tone was full of grief and indignation.

Chen Jin comforted: "Teacher, complain too much to prevent heartbreak."

Su Xiaowen didn't say any more, and instead shouted: "Old monk, come quickly, the old man wants to debate scriptures and Zen with you."

Chen Jin: "..."

Leave the interior view and go downstairs to look for food.

The food in the inn was quite poor, and he didn't have much appetite, so he simply went for a walk in the town.After finally finding a noodle stall that uses big bones to make soup, it smells good, so I went in to have a meal.

He didn't bring Xiaoqian out because she was asleep.

During this period of time, Xiaoqian appeared very tired and extremely lethargic.

Chen Jin asked her if she was sick, and the girl replied that it was a matter of practicing Dharma, and there were always a few days every month.

When it comes to privacy, Chen Jin is embarrassed to delve into it.

While eating noodles, I suddenly heard the sound of a suona gong. From this tune, it should be for a funeral.

After a while, a group of people wearing filial piety uniforms passed by the road. They carried paper figurines, cows, horses and other things, and sent a coffin out of town, which seemed to mean going up the mountain.

Chen Jin noticed that there was a boy sitting on the coffin, probably the "coffin bearer" in the custom.

Such a formation was mostly due to some problems with the cause of death of the deceased.

As a practitioner, Chen Jin didn't have many taboos, he still ate the noodles deliciously, and found an excuse to ask the boss.

The boss said that the deceased was a butcher in the east of the town. When he was slaughtering a big buffalo, for some reason, he was pushed to death by the buffalo.

Chen Jin asked: "Can cattle be slaughtered casually?"

The boss laughed and said: "There are always some sick cows, and if a cow breaks a leg or something, it can be killed and served on the table."

Chen Jin listened and smiled knowingly: People's wisdom is infinite, and they can always find a way.

After filling my stomach, I returned to the inn and started to do my daily practice homework.

Time passed, and in the middle of the night, the inn was already quiet.

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly, there was a burst of crying, which seemed to come from the street outside. It was a female voice, an elderly one.

Chen Jin suddenly opened his eyes, listened for a while, then got up, walked to the window to look.

The hot summer night was already very stuffy, and the windows of the room were all open.

It was pitch black outside, and there were not many people in the small town. In order to save lamp oil, at this hour, no one would light a fire at all.

The cry was still there, but the source of the sound was erratic. For a while, Chen Jin couldn't catch where it came from.

"Woooooooo..."

There were more and more miserable cries, someone should have joined in, it seemed like a whole family was crying.

Could it be that the family members of the dead butcher were watching and weeping?

Chen Jin thought to himself, but when he listened carefully, the complicated cries were getting closer and closer, as if they were around the inn.

"Not right!"

With his eyes fixed, his five fingers gripped the hilt of the sword.

Xiaoqian was also woken up, and her small nose sniffed violently.

Chen Jin asked, "What did you smell?"

Xiaoqian replied: "I don't smell a ghost."

As a ghost cultivator, when facing ghosts and ghosts, she has some unique skills and means.

The miserable and mournful cries were the most disturbing. The officials who lived in the inn were all woken up, and immediately someone shouted violently: "Who is pretending to be a ghost!"

Whizzing!

Soon some officials jumped out of the window to see what happened.

"what!"

"Ghost! Help!"

"Run away..."

The screams for help came quickly, and it was frightening to hear.

The next moment, the entire inn was in chaos.

Bang bang bang!
Someone was banging on the door, shouting: "Chen Youbu, Chen Youbu, open the door quickly."

Chen Jin had no choice but to open the door.

There were two official servants standing outside, holding lanterns in their hands, with anxious expressions on their faces: "Chen Youchu, the inn is haunted, come and help."

The Patrol Division is in charge of the Jianghu and evil things. Now that something happened, the officials immediately thought of Chen Jinlai.

Holding the sword in his hand, Chen Jin said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Followed the two officials downstairs, just arrived downstairs, suddenly found something wrong.

In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, lanterns were hung one after another at some unknown time, each one was a big red lantern, and the paper was so scarlet that it seemed to be soaked with blood.

More than a dozen officials gathered here looked at each other in blank dismay, their hands holding weapons kept shaking. Faced with such a scene, who would not be afraid of ordinary people?
Yay!

Suddenly there was a strange noise from the closed door, as if something was scratching the door with its claws outside, making a tooth-piercing movement.

Everyone was wondering, when there was a bang, the two wooden doors were knocked into the air, and then a gust of wind swept in, blowing out all the flames, and they couldn't see their fingers immediately.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

A strange laugh sounded, and the shadows were full of shadows.

"Ghost!"

An unknown official screamed, and then ran away, but they couldn't run away at all. In the darkness, they scurrying around became prey, and they were killed one by one, falling to the ground.

Chen Jin's eyesight is extraordinary, but he can see it. How can this be a ghost?Obviously they are all human beings.

Who are these people?He dared to kill the official, but he deliberately used the excuse of "haunting", which was obviously deliberate.

Before he had time to think about it, an iron gun stabbed towards him fiercely.

With a flick of his long sword, Chen Jin pushed aside the iron gun, turned around and leaped, directly onto the roof.

Although he hasn't figured out the ins and outs of this matter yet, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to be involved.

Previously, I came down with the official messenger, I just thought it was really haunted, and I wanted to kill the evil spirits.

However, many things are always out of control. There are four people ambushing people on the roof, each occupying a different position, besieging Chen Jin with weapons in hand.

These four people are wearing jet-black robes, and there are ghost masks on their faces. There are long red cloth strips hanging from their mouths, which look like long tongues sticking out. This look is to pretend to be a ghost, but unfortunately it is a bit rough Well, it's okay to scare some ignorant ordinary people, but it's hard to scare Chen Jin.

Chen Jin resisted the siege and shouted: "Who are you guys? Why do you keep pestering me? I'm not an official servant!"

But the other party obviously didn't believe it, and the attack was fiercer and more aggressive.

Under such a situation, the only thing that could be reasonable was the sword in his hand, so Chen Jin stopped talking nonsense and used his swordsmanship, stabbing the wrists of the two of them in an instant.

Seeing this, the other two were shocked, knowing that they were not opponents, they immediately took out their bamboo whistles and blew them.

boom!
A burly figure jumped up from below and landed on the roof.He looks fierce in stature, but when his feet step on the tiles, he feels as light as a swallow.

This is a master.

The weapon in his hands is a pair of judge pens, but one is long and the other is short, the tip of the long one is curved, which is even more strange.

When Chen Jin saw it, he couldn't help thinking of the words "iron hook painted with silver".

Perhaps because of his own identity, this person did not pretend to be a ghost. He was dressed in a strong suit and covered his face with a black scarf, revealing a pair of shining eyes. He stood in front of Chen Jin, looked him up and down, and asked, "Who are you?"

Chen Jin replied: "My surname is Chen, and my first name is Jin. I'm just a traveler who lives in an inn. When I heard the news, I came out to see what happened, and I was surrounded by you."

The well-dressed man looked at the subordinate with the sword in his wrist: "Your Excellency uses a good sword technique, you must not be an unknown person, but you are so young and born, it is really suspicious. Tell me, where are you? Whose family?"

Chen Jin explained: "I came from the South of the Five Ridges and set foot in the Central Plains for the first time. I don't have any sects."

The well-dressed man chuckled and sneered: "Who can believe such words?"

Chen Jin: "... All in all, your matters really have nothing to do with me. I'm just a passerby."

The well-dressed man thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency's swordsmanship is exquisite, and the sword only stabs the wrist, which is enough to show that the sword is merciful. We are not indifferent, but this matter is important, we must be cautious. How about it, you And come down with me, don't leave for a while, how about it?"

Chen Jin said: "I originally lived in the inn, if I want to leave, I will get tomorrow."

The well-dressed man chuckled: "Very good, a certain family's surname is Xiao, and people in the world call him 'Judge Xiao'."

After reporting to his family, he paid close attention to Chen Jin's demeanor, only to find that this young man with a handsome face was calm and unmoved: Could it be that he really came from Lingnan and had never heard of the name "Judge Xiao"? head?

It is true that Chen Jin has never heard of it, so he cannot hypocritically say "I have admired him for a long time".

Tilt your head up?

Falling down from the courtyard and returning to the front hall of the inn, I saw that torches had been lit all around, the ground was in a mess, stained with blood, and the corpses of officials had been transported and piled up on the side.

By the looks of it, the entire army has been wiped out.

A prison van was pushed out, and immediately someone came forward with a knife, broke open the prison van, and rescued Fu Mingzheng.

This great Confucian from the south of the Yangtze River has disheveled hair, wounds all over his body, and bloodstains everywhere on the prison clothes. He opened his eyes and sighed, "You kill the officials to save me, but you are trying to trap the old man for being unkind."

Chen Jin was startled when he heard that, he thought the other party was in the same group, but now it doesn't look like it.

Judge Xiao said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fu, do you really want to meet Emperor Wu Cheng in person after entering Beijing, and get revenge?"

Fu Mingzheng said loudly: "I have never done anything against you, so naturally I have to face the saint and complain."

Judge Xiao laughed: "Mr.'s thoughts are too naive. Since Wucheng usurped the throne and established the inner factory, in just over a year, the number of Confucian scholars and scholars who have been arrested and imprisoned has reached 180, all of whom are highly respected. After entering the Imperial Prison, there was no news of more than 100 people, as if they disappeared. Mr. Fu, do you think that after entering Beijing, you can change your fate against the sky?"

Fu Mingzheng said with emotion: "This old man would rather kill himself to become a benevolent person than bear a lifetime of stigma."

Judge Xiao held back his breath: "Mr. Fu, the chief helmsman of my family personally issued an order to rescue you on the way."

Fu Mingzheng said: "Thank you, Director Yan, for your kindness, but I am determined to go north to Beijing."

Hearing this, Chen Jin began to understand the teacher's evaluation of Fu Mingzheng. How could such a Confucian scholar rebel?

Judge Xiao spread his hands: "Now that all the officials have been killed, you must go with us and meet the chief helmsman."

After all, he winked left and right.

Immediately, someone stepped forward and hugged Fu Mingzheng, ready to carry him out the door.

boom!
But someone rushed in from outside, he stumbled, got several arrow feathers on his back, and said anxiously: "Master Xiao, we are in an ambush, it is the red spider guard of the inner factory leading the Tiqi..."

Before he could finish speaking, he tilted his head and died immediately.

Judge Xiao is not stupid, he quickly figured it out, the other party dared to use Fu Ming as a bait, deliberately lured them to save people, and then got trapped in the small town and became a shackle.

This time, the Red Spider Guards were dispatched by the inner factory, and it was obvious that they were bound to capture them all.

Inner Factory, the real name is "Da Nei Police Factory". Because the factory owner's surname is Zhu, and he covers the sky with one hand, it is also called "Spider Factory". The spider guards are responsible for collecting intelligence for investigation; the black spider guards are responsible for interrogating and judging cases; the red spider guards are responsible for killing...

The class level of each factory guard is also distinguished by how many feet there are in the logo spider pattern.The level is dense and quite detailed.

Regarding the vicious reputation of the inner factory, Chen Jin has been known for a long time, and even though he is far away in the south of the Lingnan, he is still pale when he hears it.Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered Jiangzhou territory, they would collide with the inner factory.

Judge Xiao made a decisive decision: "We will fight out immediately while the other party has just closed up and has not yet gained a firm foothold."

Turning to Chen Jin, he said, "Young master Chen, you can also go with us, more people, more strength."

Chen Jin said: "I said, I will not get involved in your affairs."

Judge Xiao sneered: "At this point, the red spider guard brought Tiqi to kill, and everyone in the whole town was doomed to die. Do you think you can stay out of it?"

Chen Jin was taken aback: "You mean that the inner factory is going to slaughter the town?"

Judge Xiao said word by word: "The inner factory has always cut the weeds and rooted out the roots without leaving any room. Anyone who is suspected will be killed."

As if to confirm his words, there were shrill screams from the town, and the flames shot up into the sky. It was the flames of burning residential houses.

　On the first day of June, please support me!The data is bleak, and I can't survive...
