Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 304 The Night Trial
The sword is like a dragon, with extraordinary momentum.

Seeing that Hu Qian was in front of him, even Jiao Na who was beside him couldn't help showing a worried expression.

Even Hu Qian himself has to admit that, if only talking about swordsmanship, apart from himself who possesses supernatural powers of swordsmanship, none of the people in the mansion are her opponents.

Even if spells are added, Jiaona and the others may not be able to withstand her lightning spells.

but now……

clang!
With a crisp sound, the sword that Li Yu stabbed was firmly held by Hu Qian with his two fingers.

"you……"

Li Yu was stunned, his brows stood on end, and with all his strength, the long sword remained motionless.

In the end, she had to give up.

"Sure enough."

Hu Qian said: "Where, are you willing to stay now?"

Li Yu nodded and said, "It's okay to be a teacher, but I won't meet anyone except my students."

Hu Qian said: "Yes, let them learn here."

After finalizing this matter, Hu Qian returned to Shen Yuzhen's courtyard.

After talking about Li Yu, Shen Yuzhen was not only curious: "There is such a strange woman in the world, I really want to meet her."

Hu Qian said: "When you recover, you will have a chance."

The matter of cultivation was urgent. In the morning, Hu Qian asked Hu Jiu to order a batch of long and short weapons.

But considering Hu Jiu's newlywed Yan Er, he let Da Zhu go.

At this time, Axiu suddenly came, saying that her parents had lived here for a long time, and it was time to return to Jinling.

Hu Qian nodded, and asked Er Zhu to buy presents for the two of them, and gave them two golden talismans for safety.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Erzhu came back and said that the city gate was sealed and no one could go out.

Hu Qian frowned and said, "Have you reported my name yet?"

"Reported, but they said it's useless for anyone to come."

"Who is guarding there?"

"It's from the Garrison."

"Lead the horse, come with me."

When they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw that the carriage that Axiu's parents were sitting in was stopped there, and the gifts they had bought earlier were turned upside down.

Both Axiu's parents were slaughtered by bandits. When they saw the soldiers, they were too scared to move. Seeing Hu Qian coming, they felt confident.

Hu Qian said: "I am Hu Qian, who is in charge here?"

Immediately, a soldier came over, "My lord, I have been ordered to guard the city gate and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Please forgive me."

Hu Qian pointed to something on the ground, "What's going on here?"

"Everything must be strictly checked, so... maybe it was a little careless."

Hu Qian nodded, then kicked him out.

"Open the door!"

Although there were more than 20 soldiers defending the city, no one dared to move.

Seeing this, Hu Qian went straight to the gate of the city. Several soldiers dared not move and hid aside.

Hu Qian opened the city gate on his own, and then asked Erzhu to drive away with the two of them.

The soldier who fell on the ground before became angry and shouted: "Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you!"

After all, he pulled out the big knife at his waist and slashed at Hu Qian.

Hu Qian took a step back, turned around, then grabbed his back with one hand, lifted the sword suddenly, and kicked him out with another kick.

"Go back and tell your garrison adults that I let you go."

A group of soldiers had more or less seen Hu Qian's attack, and knew that he raised his hand to destroy the tens of thousands of Dongyang and Wuse troops, so naturally they didn't dare to fight him.

Seeing that the soldier couldn't get up, Hu Qian was about to say something more, when Hu Jiu ran over suddenly, saying that someone from the governor's house had come.

Hu Qian asked strangely: "A member of the governor's family? What do you want me for?"

Immediately after thinking about it, I realized that it should be the governor's family who asked them to search for the murderer.

Back in the house, Chao Sihai was kneeling at the door from a long distance away, and beside him were Chief Minister Sun Zhengzong and Governor of Liangping Mu Shenrui.

Hu Qian hurried over, "Master Chao, what are you doing, get up quickly."

Chao Sihai said: "Master Hu, I know that I had a feud with you in the past, but now my father has been killed, and the murderer cannot be caught unless I am an adult. Please help me because I am an official in the same dynasty!"

After speaking, kowtow respectfully.

Hu Qian helped him up, then looked at Mu Shenrui and said, "Master Chao was killed, and I am also deeply saddened, but the murderer's skills are superb, he may have escaped, it's really hard to find out.

However, please rest assured, both adults, I will do my best!
However, this case still needs to be investigated by the magistrate of Anhu Prefecture first. If it is beyond our capabilities, then report it to the emperor, and the emperor will definitely let me take action at that time.

At that time, I will be able to investigate the case in a legitimate way—after all, the procuratorial yamen only reviews the case, but has little power to investigate the case. "

After saying a few more polite words, Hu Qian asked Hu Jiu to see the guests off.

Back in the mansion, Hu Jiu asked curiously, "Master, do you really want to help investigate the case?"

Hu Qian laughed, "What do you think?"

"But when the imperial decree comes down, the master can't do it if he doesn't want to."

Hu Qian said: "The emperor will not let me take care of it."

Sure enough, within two days, the imperial decree came down, ordering the magistrate of Anhu Prefecture to investigate the matter with full power.

In ancient times, killing an official was a serious crime, let alone the governor.

Because the ancient rulers of officials, killing officials is tantamount to rebellion, so it must be strictly punished.

But leaving a god like Hu Qian alone, he ordered the magistrate of Anhu Prefecture to investigate this matter, not to mention that Chao Sihai and others couldn't understand it, and Hu Jiu and others couldn't understand it either.

Hu Qian's heart is like a bright mirror, since the emperor doesn't let him take care of it, then he can use this to reply to Chao's family.

After waiting for a few days, when the long and short weapons were in hand, Hu Qian asked Axiu to choose each of them.

Lu Huanniang, Chuchu, Xiaohuan, Xing'er, Lu'er, Sister Feng and Junzi also chose weapons under Hu Qian's persecution.

When they came to the backyard, Axiu and the others were surprised to see Li Yu standing there.

I really didn't expect that the coach Hu Qian was talking about would be such a lovely person.

Li Yudao: "I heard that Master Hu's wives and concubines are all as beautiful as gods, but now I see them, they are even more beautiful than the legends."

Just as Hu Qian was about to speak, Jiao Na hurried over suddenly, saying that someone from the inspector's yamen was coming, and please hurry over.

"According to the inspector's office?"

He nodded and said to Jiaona, "You are here to help Coach Li."

When they arrived at the inspector's yamen, Kong Xueli came over immediately, "My lord, there is a strange thing here, and no one else can decide except your lord."

"Could it be Master Futai's business?"

"No, it's Wu Yushi. After he retired, he got a daughter, who is like a baby, very beautiful.

I got engaged twice, but my husband died before getting married, so I haven't married yet at the age of 19.

Three months ago, the family members discovered that she and her personal maid had been murdered at home, and the murderer has not been found yet.

And the daughter's head is still missing. "

"and then?"

"Then yesterday, when Wu Yushi went to offer incense at Duling Temple, he saw a girl who looked exactly like his daughter, so he asked his maid to ask her, but the girl said she didn't know her at all.

Wu Yushi asked his maid to follow secretly, and later discovered that the woman had entered Juren Zhu Erdan's house.

After looking for someone to inquire, I learned that the woman was Zhu Erdan's wife, but she didn't look like this before. "

"Huh? That's interesting, Zhu Erdan, isn't it?"

"Yes, Wu Yushi suspected that Zhu Erdan killed his daughter, but the daughter's body had already been buried, so he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he went to the magistrate's office to hand over the pleadings.

The magistrate immediately took Zhu Erdan to the Yamen, and after some cross-examination, Zhu Erdan said that the woman was originally his wife, but he asked the judge of the underworld to change her head.

As for how the head got there, he didn't know.

The magistrate didn't know how to judge, so he came to ask him for help. "

Hu Qian asked: "The prefect of Anhu Mansion is now Zhao Siliang?"

"Yes."

"What about others?"

"Go back to the magistrate's yamen."

Hu Qian nodded, talked to Kong Xueli, and took a sedan chair to the magistrate's yamen.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Siliang said in a low voice: "My lord, Zhu Erdan is a juren, and Wu Yushi's side is not easy to get along with. This officer... is really in a dilemma!"

Hu Qian said: "Have you figured out a clue?"

"If you figure out a clue, the next official won't be in such a difficult situation.

Wu Yushi's daughter's head grew on Zhu Erdan's wife. This... this... Xiaguan has never encountered such a thing. "

Hu Qian said: "Let's get promoted, pass the person over first."

"Adults have a bottom line?"

"Naturally there is a certain degree of certainty."

Zhao Siliang raised his eyebrows with joy, and immediately went up to the hall to ask questions.

After a while, Wu Yushi and Zhu Erdan came to the hall.

Both of these two were well-known, so Hu Qian asked someone to move a stool and asked them to sit down.

Wu Yushi saw that it was Hu Qian who spoke, and the magistrate Zhao Siliang was just sitting aside, so he said strangely: "This lord has a very face, dare I ask..."

Hu Qian said with a smile: "I am the inspector of Dongping, Hu Qian."

Wu Yushi and Zhu Erdan immediately stood up and bowed their hands.

"I've heard of Master Hu's reputation for a long time, and it's my luck to meet you today."

"My lord is invincible in supernatural powers, and I will definitely be able to wash away my innocent grievances."

Hu Qian waved his hand and said, "Please sit down, both of you.

Although the officer has already heard about the case, in order to prevent omissions, I would like to ask the two of you to talk about it.

Mr. Wu, since you are the plaintiff, please speak first. "

Naturally, Wu Yushi and the two had no opinion, and each talked about the matter.

Hu Qian nodded, basically not much different from what Kong Xueli said.

"Everyone, this matter is actually easy to solve. Since Zhu Erdan said that the head was changed by the judge, please invite the judge and let him explain clearly."

Zhu Erdan wondered: "Although I have known Lu Pan for a long time, he has always been looking for me. How can I find him?"

Hu Qian said, "Then where was the first time you saw him?"

"There is a Hall of Ten Kings in the western suburbs, where there are many lifelike wooden carvings of Hades and judges.

At that time, I was betting with my friends, so I moved Lu Pan's wooden carvings to scare my friends. Later, in order to make amends, I said that I could buy Lu Pan a drink.

Unexpectedly, he really came the next day. "

Hu Qian said: "It's easy to do so, you all go to the Hall of Ten Kings together tonight to find out."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Siliang and Wu Yushi were a little embarrassed.

The two famous names in the Hall of Ten Kings have also heard of it, and they dare not go there even during the day, let alone at night.

If that judge kid really came out, wouldn't it scare people to death.

Hu Qian said: "What? Is Wu Yushi unwilling to go?"

Wu Yushi said: "My lord, I am old and frail, and I really can't go. If it is really impossible, I will let my son go. It's the same."

Hu Qian looked at Zhao Siliang and Zhu Erdan, "Wu Yushi asked his son to replace him, do you have any opinions?"

Zhu Erdan shook his head.

Although Zhao Siliang didn't want to go, but as the magistrate of Anhu Prefecture, he couldn't shirk it, so he could only bite the bullet and nod.

In the blink of an eye, at night, Hu Qian, Zhu Erdan, Zhao Siliang, Wu Gang, the son of Wu Yushi, and a group of yamen servants came to the Hall of Ten Kings with torches.

Just like what Zhu Erdan said, the hall is very gloomy, and there are ten sculptures of Yan Luo in the middle.

The woodcarving was lifelike, with a ferocious face, which made everyone tremble with fear.

Hu Qian said, "Which one is Lu Juan?"

Zhu Erdan immediately walked under a red-faced judge.

Hu Qian said: "Please come out."

Zhu Erdan nodded, and respectfully bowed to the judge Lu, "Brother Lu, now I've been sued in the yamen for the head-changing matter, please show up and distinguish right from wrong for me."

He said it three times, but there was no sound in the hall, and Lu Pan did not show up.

Wu Gang said: "If this judgment does not come out, does it mean that Zhu Erdan is lying? He must be the murderer of my sister."

Hu Qian said: "Don't worry! If he can't ask for it, he still has me."

"What do you mean, sir?"

Zhao Siliang, Wu Gang and others were all taken aback, not understanding what Hu Qian said.

Hu Qian didn't say much, and with a sudden wave, there was a paper talisman in his hand - this water talisman can summon gods and ghosts, and he has summoned land before, so it should be effective for this judge.

With a thought, the paper talisman immediately flew over and stuck to Lu Pan's wood carving impartially.

"Little Judge, don't come out to see me yet!"

As soon as the voice fell, a white mist popped out of the wood carving suddenly, and then a red-faced judge came out of it, saw Hu Qian, and bowed respectfully.

"I have seen Shang Xian."

Although Zhao Si and the others had heard or seen Hu Qian's supernatural powers, when they saw this judge from the underworld with their own eyes, they all turned pale with fright, opened their mouths wide, and could not utter a word.

On the other hand, Zhu Erdan's expression brightened, he stepped forward and said, "Brother Lu."

Just as Lu Juan was about to speak, Hu Qian said, "Zhu Erdan stepped down for now.

Lu Pan, let me ask you, where did Zhu Erdan's wife's head come from? "

"The other end belongs to Wu Yushi's daughter, because Zhu Erdan thought his wife was ugly, so he asked me to change it."

"Who killed Wu Yushi's daughter? Who cut off her head?"

"She was killed by Yang Danian from Suxi County, and he chopped off her head."

Hu Qian nodded, and was about to ask again, when suddenly the dense fog rose again in the hall, and there was the faint cry of ghosts.

Zhao Siliang and the others were finally able to stabilize their emotions, and at this moment they were so frightened that they were shaking all over, and they couldn't help but move behind Hu Qian.

Hu Qian shouted: "Who is playing tricks here! You haven't shown up yet!"

As he spoke, he immediately activated his supernatural powers, and saw a figure the size of a fingernail emerge from the ground, and said in a baby-like voice: "Lu Pan, Heiluo City is killing people, and the Lord ordered you to go to Guyuan! "
