Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 24
Hu Qian was stunned immediately.

There seems to be no generals in this world?

Could it be that the original owner has no knowledge, so he doesn't know the general?

He was about to take a closer look when he suddenly felt something behind the tomb staring at him.

Looking up, I saw two candle-like eyes dangling in the distance, moved slightly, and disappeared immediately.

Only the next puff of white air slowly dissipated in place.

The fox is following me?

He immediately drew out his sword and slowly took two steps into the darkness.

There was solitude everywhere, and it got darker and darker as I walked forward, and gradually I couldn't see things clearly.

"Shh!"

The wind blows the leaves and rustles.

The smell of earth mixed with the freshness of grass.

The dead branches and fallen leaves under his feet creaked and creaked, and each step spread far away.

He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, hesitated for a moment, and then retreated.

After all, if you don't know if there is a trap in front of you, it is useless to rush in.

At this moment, the reminder in my mind suddenly changed.

【Who is a general】

However, just as he was about to beat the horse back to the city, the sad sound of the horse suddenly came from behind.

He ran over immediately.

When he got close, he saw that the horse had fallen to the ground, white gas was coming out of his mouth, his eyes were moving, and bright red blood was flowing everywhere.

He cursed secretly, and when he was looking around, he saw the horse tremble suddenly.

The movement was not like a convulsion before death, but like being pulled by something.

He was startled!
Realized immediately, there was something in the horse's belly!
When I used Youtong to look at it, I saw a vague shadow in the horse's belly.

At this moment, the shadow seemed to notice that Hu Qian was watching.

It turned around calmly and stared at Hu Qian through the horse's belly.

Hu Qian frowned, and immediately drew his sword.

"Jie Jie..."

The shadow gave a ghostly laugh, tore at the horse's intestines, and quickly descended, as if it was going underground.

He didn't hesitate anymore, and with a wave of the long sword, a white light flashed down immediately, and the horse's body was split into two.

Amidst the blood and flesh, a furry thing suddenly burrowed into the ground and disappeared for a moment.

Looking at the direction of the burrow, it seems to be leading to the tomb of the "General".

He took a deep breath, slowly pushed away, and went straight to Jinling City.

When he came to the government office, he went directly to Niu Dewang.

"Young Master, are you talking about generals?" Niu Dewang rubbed his head, "It seems that there is no family named Gan in Jinling City?"

Hu Qian said: "What about before? Was there any before?"

"I'll have to check the roster for this."

"Bring me the roster, I'll see it myself!"

"Young master, wait a moment!"

After a while, Niu Dewang and the two yamen servants came over with a stack of books each.

"My lord, here are all the surname collections of clans and people in Jinling City for a hundred years."

Hu Qian slapped the dust, "Okay, let's put it down."

"Young master, let me help you find it."

"Then it's up to you."

However, the two saw the fourth watch from the first watch, and they got nothing at all.

Hu Qian was so sleepy that he yawned, and Niu Dewang also stretched himself, rubbing his shoulders constantly.

"Thank you, Mr. Niu."

For the next seven days, Hu Qian searched for someone surnamed Gan, but to no avail.

Instead, a young concubine of He Yuanwai died suddenly.

He Yuanwai had already read his sixtieth year, and when he saw Jin Yiwei, Hu Qian and others coming, he was so scared that he knelt down to greet him.

Hu Qian looked at the corpse, and saw that there was another wisp of white gas, so he asked, "I would like to ask, has Mr. He slept with this concubine recently?"

He Yuanwai blushed, wanting to get angry, seeing Ruan Conghai and Tong Mingrui looking at him, he had no choice but to say submissively: "The old man is not in good health, and he often has enough energy to spare."

Hu Qian said: "Then has this concubine ever complained about you?"

"This... is a bit of a criticism..."

Hu Qian walked up to Ruan Conghai and whispered something in his ear. The latter's eyes lit up, and he led He Yuanwai to a room with two Jinyi guards.

After a while, several people came out again.

Ruan Conghai said softly to Hu Qian: "You judged well, He Guangchao really had an affair with his father's concubine."

Hu Qian whispered again: "In this way, we can control the situation first."

Half a day later, the government office posted a notice.

Yan Ming recently had a plague from poisonous mushrooms spread, killing many people. As long as everyone temporarily separates the room, their lives can be saved.

For a while, the people talked a lot, some people were skeptical, some people didn't care.

A few days later, it was discovered that all the dead people had sex in the past three days, and everyone believed it.

However, this is only a solution to the symptoms rather than the root cause, and we can't let everyone stop having sex for the rest of their lives.

Moreover, so many people had died, and the deadline given by the emperor was only seven days left. If no results were found, all officials including Tong Mingrui would suffer.

Government office lobby.

Tong Mingrui paced back and forth, then gritted his teeth, cupped his hands to Ruan Conghai and said, "My lord, since this is caused by the plague, can I report it to the emperor."

"How to report?"

"Xu Zhenhu privately sold poison, causing many people in the city to be infected with plague, and his father, Xu Yuanfang, sheltered criminals...

In this way, it is enough to escort the two of them back to the capital and hand them over to the Holy Majesty. "

Ruan Conghai said: "Since it is a plague, how can the person who assassinated Hu Qian explain it, and how can Huang San's death be explained.

He was by my side day and night, it was absolutely impossible for him to find flowers and ask willows, how did he get poisoned? "

Tong Mingrui glared at Hu Qian, and said angrily: "Only he knows about Hu Qian's assassination, who knows if he made it up.

There have been people who try to catch fame since ancient times, and there are countless people who do anything to gain fame.

As for Huang Baihu...

Perhaps he was infected with the plague unintentionally, that's why..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, Niu Dewang suddenly rushed in and said loudly: "My lord, someone rushed into the prison and took Xu Zhenhu away!"

"what?!"

Tong Mingrui snorted, and glared at Hu Qian viciously, "He also said that Xu Zhenhu was not the murderer, and now he has been robbed!"

Ruan Conghai yelled, "What nonsense! Hurry up and chase after him!"

In a moment, everyone in the lobby ran out.

Hu Qian also followed, but when they arrived at the prison, they saw Ruan Conghai and Tong Mingrui chasing west with a group of officers and soldiers.

He frowned and was hesitating when the prompt changed.

[Go to the prison to see the situation]

When I went in, I saw that the prison guards who had been guarding here all died "comfortably" on the ground.

His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ran to Xu Yuanfang's place, and was relieved to see that he was still sitting there perfectly.

"Nephew, what was the commotion just now?"

"It is said that someone robbed the prison."

"Who will be robbed?"

"Zhenhu."

Xu Yuanfang was stunned for a while, "Who will come to rob Zhenhu? There is no way someone will? Besides, the prison is heavily guarded, who can rob him?"

"Maybe not a person."

"Not human? Is it like General Niu 40 years ago? He was rescued by a fox?"

Hu Qian was taken aback.

"Who?"

"General Niu is actually just a legend. It is said that Niu Bailie, the general of Jinling at that time, was imprisoned unjustly, and later disappeared in prison. Some people said that he was rescued by a group of demon foxes."

Hu Qianru was struck by lightning.

Go-getters...

General Niu...

It turned out that what was written on the tombstone was not "Tomb of General Gan", but "Tomb of General Niu".

So to say……

He turned around abruptly...

Niu Dewang...
