Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 41 The evildoer is gone!

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, a little puzzled, looked at him, then at Fan Wenguang.

"Is there such an institution in Daqian Dynasty?"

However, Fan Wenguang bowed in fear and said, "Xiaguan Fan Wenguang, the county magistrate of Sanshui County, has met Mr. Qianhu."

"Master Fan, you don't need to be too polite."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Qian again, "Who is this little boy, and why didn't he worship me when he saw me!"

Hu Qian said: "I haven't seen your badge yet..."

"Bold! How dare you doubt the order of the imperial court! You must know that my demon suppressor has the power to kill first and then act! You..."

Fan Wenguang quickly pulled Hu Qian and bowed, "My lord, he is Hu Qian, the son of Jinling Tongzhi Hu Tong, and he is here to assist in handling the case..."

Lei Zhengyun stood up curiously, looked Hu Qian up and down, snorted and said with a smile: "When I was tracking the turtle monster in Tengzi Lake, I heard that there is Hu Qian in Nanyang County, who is very good at killing monsters. you.

Sure enough, the so-called great immortals and half immortals are just spreading rumors. "

Hu Qian didn't speak, but his profound powers told him that there was indeed something unusual about this Qianhu in front of him.

Fan Wenguang said: "I don't know why my lord is here..."

"It was You Yushi who invited me over. He said that the murder of his nephew was quite strange. He asked me to arrest the murderer and avenge him."

Fan Wenguang was overjoyed, it would be best if these thousands of households could solve the case, if not, since someone above took action, there would be an excuse to shirk.

Hu Qian was amused, and although he wanted to say goodbye and leave, he was curious about the methods used by the demon master and wanted the sword, so he stood aside and watched Lei Zhengyun ask Fan Wenguang about the case.

"In this way, it was this sword that killed Song Zhixian and You Yushi's nephew."

Lei Zhengyun leaned over to look at the sword, and flicked it with his hand again.

Fan Wenguang said: "My lord, the county government has not been able to find the scabbard because of the shortage of manpower."

Lei Zhengyun smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter!"

With a movement of his hand, he suddenly pulled out a piece of paper talisman, and then swung it towards the sword body, the paper talisman immediately turned into a flame.

"Taishang Laojun! Hurry up like a law! Change!"

The flame immediately wrapped the sword body, lifted it up in an instant, and even the iron chain was broken.

Both Hu Qian and Fan Wenguang watched in surprise.

Lei Zhengyun proudly said: "This sword has been hit by my spell, and now it will lead us to find its owner. We just need to follow it and see where it falls!"

Fan Wenguang was overjoyed, and immediately called the third class of yamen servants, ready to follow Lei Zhengyun to arrest him.

However, the long sword had just flown half a foot, and suddenly fell to the ground with a "click", and the flame was instantly extinguished.

Fan Wenguang stood there in embarrassment for a moment.

Hu Qian turned his head away and suppressed the smile on his face.

After a pause, Lei Zhengyun suddenly pointed at Hu Qian and shouted: "The murder weapon fell here! You are the murderer!"

Hu Qian said helplessly: "When the magistrate died, the students were still in Jinling. The magistrate and the students' family members can testify, so how could they come here to kill people?"

"That's you! Master Fan! Now you can't rely on it!"

Fan Wenguang almost cried, cupped his hands repeatedly and said, "My lord, although the lower official was in the county government office that day, he was sorting out official documents with President Xi at that time, and he can testify."

Lei Zhengyun said: "This is so strange!"

So he cross-examined the servants in front of him one by one, but in the end, he didn't ask anything.

Lei Zhengyun coughed lightly and said, "I'm a bit sleepy after traveling day and night, Mr. Lao Fan has prepared a resting place for me."

Fan Wenguang said: "My lord, please follow me."

Speaking of leading him to the back hall, before leaving, he looked at Hu Qian dumbfounded.

On the second day, Lei Zhengyun never mentioned the use of magic to find the real murderer, as if nothing had happened.

Just after breakfast, he asked the servants to pass on Wu Chengxiu, his son Wu Shen, You Tong's father, You Changgui, and You's servant, Lin'er.

After being promoted, Lei Zhengyun slapped the gavel!He shouted: "Who is in the hall! Report your name!"

Although Wu Chengxiu and the others didn't know which adult was sitting in the hall above, they all reported their names honestly.

Lei Zhengyun slapped the gavel again, "Bold Wu Chengxiu! How did you kill Zhixian and You Tong, tell the truth quickly!"

Wu Chengxiu said: "My lord, the grass people are wronged! That day the grass people were worshiping their ancestors in the ancestral hall, and several respected elders from the county were there. They can all prove that the grass people have never been to the county government, so how can they kill people?"

Lei Zhengyun said: "Why do you need to go to the scene to kill people? Why not sacrifice the flying sword at home and instruct it to kill Zhixian and You Tong!"

Wu Chengxiu said: "My lord, the grass people are just ordinary people, and they don't know the magic of offering flying swords at all."

Lei Zhengyun shouted: "You just don't understand if you don't understand!"

As he spoke, he suddenly jumped down from the hall, popped out a paper talisman, and stuck it on Wu Chengxiu's forehead.

"Taishang Laojun! Hurry up like a law! Change!"

Hu Qian and Fan Wenguang on the side were both taken aback, thinking that he was about to cast some spell again.

But after waiting for a while, the paper talisman was just pasted there without any change.

Lei Zhengyun muttered, "Is it wrong?"

So he put away the paper talisman and pasted it on Wu Shen's forehead, but there was still no movement.

"Forget it, there will be no trial today!"

As he said that, he walked away on his own.

Hu Qian and Fan Wenguang looked at each other in blank dismay.

What kind of excuse is this? It's just like a child playing tricks.

Fan Wenguang had no choice but to look at Hu Qian for help.

Hu Qian walked down the hall and asked Wu Chengxiu and others to stand up, "Master Wu, don't worry, this time it's just a few questions."

Wu Chengxiu even said he didn't dare.

Hu Qian walked up to that little servant, Lin'er, and looked at Wu Chengxiu, "Master Wu, do you recognize him?"

Wu Chengxiu looked up, then immediately lowered his head, "I recognize him, he is my servant, because he insulted the mistress, he fled to You's house, I came to ask for it, but You's house refused to give it up."

Hu Qian nodded, then looked at Lin Er and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Lin'er looked away, and said falteringly: "No, it was his family who withheld monthly money and beat the villain severely without reason, that's why the villain escaped."

Hu Qian looked at You Changgui again, "Is that so?"

You Changgui said bitterly: "Wu Chengxiu has a grudge in his heart and used tricks to kill my son. This is obvious! There is no need to ask!"

Hu Qian said: "Master You only needs to say yes or no, there is no need to say anything else."

You Changgui said: "My elder brother is the censor of the imperial court, what kind of onion are you, you dare to talk to me like that!"

Fan Wenguang said: "This is Hu Qian, the son of Jinling Tongzhi Hu Budong, who is best at solving weird and suspicious cases."

"Hmph! The son of a mere confidant! Don't say it's you, even if your father is here, you can't talk to me like this."

Hu Qian nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't ask any more questions." He said and stepped out of the lobby.

Fan Wenguang slapped his thigh, walked up to You Changgui and said, "Master You, this Hu Qian is here to help you find out the murderer, why are you doing this..."

You Changgui was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "This... I'm used to it... I forgot about it, so what should I do now?"

"Oh, I'll go find him."

Hu Qian left the county government office, thinking about whether to return to Jinling, when he heard a loud shout not far away.

"Monster! Where are you going!"

Then I saw Lei Zhengyun rushing out of the yard with his sword in hand.

And above his head, that murderous divine weapon was rising against the wind, roaring and flying into the distance!
