I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 25 Clues in the Documents
Zuo Dao sat at the table and looked through the case of the Eighteen Mothers and Li Gui in his hand.

This case occurred on the border of Youzhou, at the foot of Shiwanda Mountain, in a village that has traded with the Miao people all year round.

According to the documents, when the first batch of Jinyi guards stationed in Youzhou, the local government reported the case.

A man named Zhang went to investigate the case with his Jin Yiwei.

But when he came to the village, he found that the originally bustling village was now deserted.

In the evening, when the smoke from the kitchen should have been rising, it was extremely quiet, without a single sound.

Zhang Baihu entered the village with his Jinyiwei.

Finally, the villagers were found at the edge of the village, near the foot of Shiwanda Mountain.

The scene he saw was written in the document: "A hundred corpses without heads, a hundred corpses without bones, a mountain of flesh and blood, and eighteen women hugging their children and laughing in the sea of ​​flesh and blood."

After seeing this line of words, Zuo Dao felt a chill in his body for no reason.

All the villagers had their heads chopped off, their bones shaved off, and they were piled into mountains of meat on the edge of the village.

Thinking about this scene makes people shudder.

Even today's leftists feel a bit chilly.

This case caused a sensation throughout Youzhou that year.

Finally, it was Zhang Baihu who used his own blood energy and the dragon and tiger energy to scare the ghosts.

He actually managed to escape from the clutches of the Eighteen Sons and Mothers with his subordinates Jin Yiwei.

But after he escaped, he felt someone whispering in his ear every day and every night.

From time to time, children would cry loudly.

Just when Zhang Baihu was exhausted physically and mentally and went to perform his mission, he met a wandering Taoist priest.

The Taoist said that Zhang Baihu was burdened with ghost grievances, and the grievances of the eighteen children and mothers were piled up. If they were not dealt with, they would probably die soon.

Zhang Baihu knelt down and prayed for Dharma. The Taoist used a small peach wood figure Li to represent Tao Jiang and pray for Zhang Baihu's life.

On that day, the peach wood villain was burned by the fire of resentment and turned into dust.

There were no more whispers or cries in Zhang Baihu's ears.

But since then, he has been unable to find the wandering Taoist who saved his life.

Later, he inquired at the border of Youzhou and finally found out why the grievances of the Eighteen Mothers were so terrifying.

The reason was that the village elder disliked the fact that they gave birth to a baby girl, so he used the lives of eighteen pairs of mothers and daughters to make a deal with a Miao man who knew voodoo.

The baby girl was dug out alive, and the Miao people wanted to make the baby girl into a poison.

But she didn't expect that the dead eighteenth mother was so resentful that she turned into a fierce ghost and merged with the baby girl into one, becoming the evil ghost of mother and child.

As a result, an entire village and all the Miao people were killed.

In the end, the entire village was burned with rockets by the county government, and all traces were destroyed.

Zuo Dao looked at the records in the document in his hand. If there were no mistakes in it, the Eighteen Sons and Mother Ghosts were indeed very dangerous ghosts.

But in the end, nothing happened, presumably because there was no way to solve the problem of the Eighteen Sons and Mother Ghosts.

Not only didn't it happen then, but it doesn't exist now either.

It was hard for him to imagine how Qianhu, the first two Jinyi guards in Youzhou, dealt with it on weekdays.

We can't always just pretend that nothing happened as Du Qianhu said, the documents sank into the sea.

He frowned slightly and continued to read the next document.

The case recorded in this document is also located at the junction of Shiwandashan and Youzhou.

But this time it was not a ghost, but a demon that hurt people, and a blood demon that was unheard of.

According to the documents, this blood demon feeds on blood. From the time he first attacked domestic animals, to later he attacked the common people, only seven days passed.

The local people are in danger, and the county government can do nothing.

You can only report it to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

The first Qianhu of Youzhou led his Jinyiwei to capture the Blood Demon, and used the condemned prisoners as bait to lure the Blood Demon out.

Trapped and trapped in a cage, the fire burned his body and burned him to ashes.

This can be regarded as the first case involving evil spirits that Youzhou Jinyiwei has solved.Zuo Dao looked at the position on the document, with a flash of light in his eyes.

In Youzhou, the first cases recorded as crimes committed by demons, ghosts and other evil spirits were all located on the border between Youzhou and Shiwanda Mountain.

Including a few other documents under him, most of them belong to this position.

From this we can see whether the source of the demons in Youzhou originates from the boundary between Shiwanda Mountain and Youzhou.

In other words, it started from the Hundred Thousand Mountains and continued to spread towards the territory of the Wei Dynasty.

What exactly triggered these changes.

Just when Zuo Dao was curious, he thought he had found the reason why the evil spirit was causing trouble.

One of the documents in his hand caught his attention.

The date on the document is a record of what happened to Fan Quan, the lord of Linya City, before the previous Jinyiwei Qianhu moved the Jinyiwei Yamen.

It is said that when City Lord Fan went out of the city to observe the people's sentiments, he encountered a great demon in a town near Shiwanda Mountain.

The entire town was destroyed, and almost all the people were devoured by the big demon.

Only City Lord Fan who was in the town managed to escape somehow and returned to Linya City.

Afterwards, Jinyiwei Qianhu made routine inquiries.

However, City Master Fan only said that he jumped into a dry well and escaped the danger of the big demon eating people.

He hid in the dry well for a whole day and night.

After noticing that there was no movement outside, he pulled the well rope and climbed out of the dry well.

Although Ren Qianhu had doubts about this matter, there was no other evidence to show that City Master Fan was lying.

Even when he took people to explore the town, he did see the dry well that City Lord Fan mentioned.

There are even signs of people hiding in the dry well.

At that time, the matter was settled.

But not long after, City Master Fan proposed during the banquet that the Jinyiwei Yamen should be moved towards Shiwanda Mountain.

In this way, the dragon and tiger energy in Jinyiwei's body may be used to suppress evil spirits.

When Ren Qianhu heard this, he ordered the Jinyiwei Yamen to be moved.

But just after the Jinyiwei Yamen was moved there, a tide of beasts broke out in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and Jinyiwei suffered heavy casualties.

When thousands of households were surrounded by dead beasts, not even their bodies were found.

Zuo Dao looked at the records in the document and couldn't help but remember that Fan Quan had told him about the old demon in Black Mountain when he came to give gifts.

In his words, he hoped that he would lead people to Montenegro to investigate.

From this point of view, City Lord Fan is indeed somewhat suspicious, and the suspicion is not small.

No wonder Du Wanshan asked him to be careful about the city lord today.

Just as Zuo Dao was thinking, a burst of noise suddenly sounded outside the door.

There are also words like "walking away from the water" mixed in.

Zuo Dao's expression suddenly changed. Just as he was about to stand up, he heard a guard in Jinyi shouting loudly outside the door: "Master Qianhu, the case library has been leaked."

A fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes. Sure enough, someone had taken action against the Jinyiwei case library.

It seems that there are indeed secrets hidden in Jinyiwei's archives.

Zuo Dao stood up and was about to leave the room to put out the fire when he suddenly turned around and caught a glimpse of several documents on his desk that he had never seen before.

With a thought in his mind, he took those few documents and the documents recording Fan Quan's affairs into his arms.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a guard in brocade clothes bowing and waiting. He seemed to be the person who had just reported.

Zuo Dao looked at the raging fire coming from the case library, frowned and said: "What are you still doing here, go put out the fire quickly."

The Jin Yiwei's body stagnated for a moment, and then he responded, turning around and running towards the case library.

Suddenly, Zuo Dao said coldly: "Stop, turn around."
