"Who sent you here?"

The spacious courtyard of the Gods Hall under the night sky, the Taoists held torches in their hands, shining brightly around them as bright as daytime. Six witches tied up in large shady bodies were pressed on the bluestone slabs, so seriously injured that they could not raise their heads.

Hearing the boy's cold question, Sa Xi spitted out a mouthful of blood and no answer.

After the fierce battle before, the five masters and disciples on their side also had their own injuries. The master and the uncle Wankong were all unconscious and coughed from time to time. According to previous experience, they had to take care of at least a month before they could get better slowly. However, their weak bodies were undoubtedly hit again, and the degree of blockage of their meridians became even worse, and their lives were much shorter.

The eldest brother also had a haggard face. Such excessive use of body and spirit would require a week to recover. Fortunately, he was not incomplete in souls. The most ok was uncle Master Lead and Mercury, but he was exhausted and he would be fine tomorrow after sleeping.

Xie Lingyun's injuries were the most strange. After consuming a small corner of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, he had the subsequent explosion just now, but also the true qi that was still running around in his body.

On the one hand, the true qi supports his tired body and mind, so that the living water in the dantian boils, making the whole body hot and the face full of energy. On the other hand, because the meridians and acupuncture points in the body have not been cleared, it cannot be dissipated, and cannot regulate breathing and absorb it.

He didn't know how to solve it, and he thought that the master and the others didn't understand either, so he didn't say much.

Moreover, the most urgent task is to deal with these thieves and find out the whole story of the arson case.

"Come here, Xie Duzhu handles the case!"

Seeing that the thief was stubborn, Xie Lingyun didn't talk nonsense to him. He shouted out several burly outer masters, each of whom picked up the thief head like a chicken, forcing him to look at the light blue fox bead in Chun'er's hand in front of him; Hengbao and others even took sticks and forks, and did their part for severe torture at any time. Even the timid uncle lead and mercury master took a broom; Changsheng stood beside him, with a pig tongue rolling his nose, as if he was waiting for the trial to prove the serious crime, and it would eat these witch thieves.

"Is it God optimistic?", "Is it Li Xiubin?" Xie Lingyun threw away one question after another.

If Sa Xi didn't answer, he was so weak that he was not as weak as ordinary people. He had Chun'er performing his ecstasy technique, and fox beads to distinguish the true and false, and combined with the confessions of several other witch thieves, soon the ins and outs were clear!

It turned out that Mr. Ruan came to seek revenge! When it came to that guy, Xie Lingyun told the story again. The thief who cut the path was sent by Li Xiubin. He probably died of serious injuries.

Everyone was extremely angry when they heard the word "destroy the family" from the mouths of the thieves. The joy of victory was also hidden in their hearts, their faces flushed, and many people were even more angry and trembled all over.

Fortunately, when the fire broke out tonight, everyone was playing outside the house, and no casualties were found, but some people were slightly bruised and burned due to firefighting; there were also Jingde Hall, Jingyang Pavilion and several landlords Dongshan Taoist Courtyards were destroyed, and the other halls were not in trouble. Now some disciples have gone to the aftermath to clean up.

But if they hadn't resisted it, would they have to be wiped out during this Double Ninth Festival? The elderly and children would not let go of more than 100 mouths? They even had to make those corpses?

I feel scared when I think about it, but I feel heartbroken when I think about it!

"Fuck it's a bad beast!" Xie Lingyun was furious and couldn't help but curse repeatedly, his heart twitching and painful. If Guandi Sect painting had not been upgraded, what would have been a disaster?!

This battle gate painting swallowed more than 120 ghosts. Although it was still far away from being promoted to a gold edge, it was obvious that the more you fought, the more you became more and more powerful; there was less than one-third of the divine power left, and you had to peck at the charging matter.

But he didn't care at all now, and he was only full of anger. According to what these witches said, weren't they so arrogantly trying to destroy the family with the encouragement and even help of Li Xiubin and Shen? Aren't those bitches accomplices?

The man surnamed Li first sent Mr. Ruan to assassinate, but failed; he would only have a plan to seek trouble; this time he came to destroy the family by borrowing a knife, which was extremely vicious and bullying!

"what to do?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Nanyangzi sighed slightly. At this time, there was not enough mind to think about things. Qixu said: "Ake, you can handle this matter with all your power."

Xie Lingyun's eyes were so cold that he could do what else? His tough voice only said one sentence: "If a person has no etiquette, what is immortal!"

Most of the people nodded in understanding. This poem comes from "The Book of Songs? The Rat", which means that a person is not as good as a person, has no etiquette, no morals, and is not as good as a mouse. Why not die quickly? A Ke said that he should act seriously...

Sa Xi couldn't understand. He looked at the boy and had already recognized him. Xie Lingyun... Unexpectedly, he really didn't expect that the one who made the decision was actually a boy. He felt it was ridiculous and would rather believe that the Taoist Taoist who leads and mercury was the master behind the scenes...

Otherwise, both brothers would die at the hands of this boy? There was still a trace of thought in my heart. Sa Xi laughed in a crooked voice: "Let me go, tonight's incident offset the murder of my brother, we won't pursue each other..."

"It seems that you were beaten to death." Xie Lingyun looked at him disdainfully, without any interest in talking to him.

Sa Xi's face was full of fierceness, and the row of bronze lips on his lower lips shaking. He plucked up and roared: "You think it through. Rama Sect is in southern Xinjiang, which is the ancestral court you mentioned. There are countless disciples. There are hundreds of ghost masters like me, and there are even stronger elders in Rama Sect. Bimo... If you kill me, the trouble will only be greater... Do you really want a ghost master to come to attack every month..."

Several other witches suddenly started to show off their anger and howl—

Everyone frowned when they heard this, and Master Lead and Mercury was anxious and stopped talking: "Ake, it's really not good that way..."

Xie Lingyun sneered. Sa Xi and Ruan Lu are worthy of being brothers, and they both said the same nonsense when they die. He also said to the uncle and the people: "Uncle Master, if it were a ghost, it would have been awesome, and only useless ghosts would scare people! They are letting us have a fish and meat now, who can scare? As long as you are not afraid, you can't do anything to you!"

Uncle Lead and Mercury and others were very calm and said they could deal with it.

Sa Xi finally believed who was the decision, and knew that this was impossible to be good. He was mixed for a while, and was frightened and weak... His eyes were rolled on and his tongue was torn. He showed a strange expression and vomited blood and said with a smile: "Is it scary? You will know in the future, be ready to welcome the arrival of evil spirits..."

"Oh, is it? The problem is that I'm not afraid." Xie Lingyun stepped forward and shook his fist. With a dull "bang", it made Sa Xi's right cheek collapse into his face. He shook his fist and said coldly: "I won't execute you privately, and it's up to the government to handle it!"

"It's good." Everyone nodded, and Nanyangzi also agreed. If you want to seek justice openly, you will undoubtedly have to go through the way of the government's trial.

Now that people have both evidence and physical evidence, how can they allow Li Xiubin to deny it? Shen Optimism!

Bang! Xie Lingyun threw another punch, smashing Sa Xi's left cheek to the same collapse. It was time to settle the old accounts one by one, and then repay the grievances!

Early the next morning, Xie Lingyun took a group of Taoists and escorted Sa Xi and other thieves down the mountain in a cart and headed towards the city yamen.

Along the way, I encountered many ordinary people asking what was going on. They all told the situation truthfully, saying that they were optimistic and colluded with witch thieves to kill and set fire. The people were all indignant when they heard this. Sa Xi and others were also thrown away all over by saliva and vegetables. Now Taoist Xie is a popular man in Jinling. He saw the magical celestial phenomena last night, so of course they supported Yecheng Mountain.

He came to the yamen one after another, and Xie Lingyun immediately beat the drum and made the drum almost burst, and the sound of the drum "dongdong" spread far away-

This incident had already alarmed Zhao Yebu, the prefect of Jinling. Lord Zhao did not dare to neglect it. He immediately went to the court to handle the case and sent a service to invite Li Xiubin. Shenliuguang and several others came to confront him in the court. Naturally, Tian Chengzi did not come, and Wan Jun flew to fly.

Although Chaotian Palace captured six murderers, Sa Xi admitted that he had contact with the other two defendants and even scolded them for lying to him. Chaotian Palace was not a waste nest at all. However, the case was not smoothly determined. Because there was no direct evidence to show that the three parties had collusion, Li Xiubin, Wan Junfei and others were all fearless.

"Master Xie, you can't say whatever the thief says."

There was a plaque "The mirror is hanging high" hanging in the middle of the solemn court. Behind it was a large map of the sea water and the sun. The yamen runners were each in separate lines. Zhao Yebu sat upright behind the case, but looked indifferent and stroked his beards and said, "This is true without any evidence, and the Chaotian Palace is not serious. According to my opinion, if these thieves are arrested, the case will be settled."

"What does it mean to be fine?! Our Chaotian Palace was almost destroyed, and several halls were burned down!" Xie Lingyun in the hall glared at the bitches standing happily, and looked at Zhao Yebu, unwilling to give in: "The few silver notes found from the witch thief were issued by the silver number in the capital. Just check who took the money at that time, wouldn't he know who colluded with the thief? If it was Li Xiubin from the capital, this was the evidence!"

He didn't want to kill these people in court. Zhao Yebu didn't have the power and strength, but the investigation process had to be carried out step by step!

Let the noisy Hengbao and others calm down first, Xie Lingyun bowed and said, "The evidence is both there. According to the laws and regulations, Lord Zhao, should you put a group of suspects in prison first, send a yamen constable to search for evidence and conduct strict interrogation, and then join forces with the Daolu Department to report to the Jiangnan Daosu to jointly examine the case!"

Li Xiubin hummed disapprovingly. Although he was still very surprised by Xie Lingyun's magic skills, he... He glared slightly at the prefect, and the meaning was very obvious.

"Um..." An impatient flashed across Zhao Yebu's face. Why didn't Xie Ke know how to be tactful and tactful? He didn't look at what Mr. Li came from prison? Reported? Can it be investigated? Don't say that the evidence is insufficient, even if the evidence is conclusive, you can excuse me!

The most terrible thing is that his father, Lord Li Shangde, will be the governor of Jinling Dao tomorrowchun. What should he do if he, the prefect, take advantage of the legitimate son of his future boss? He is not a person who practices immortality and Buddhism, so do you still have a career in the officialdom?

No matter what Mr. Li did, his years of experience as an official told him that he was not going to investigate, but to hide! He said: "Master Xie Xiao, silver notes are nothing. During this period, Jinling has been mixed with fish and dragons. Too many people come from the capital, even the Crown Princess... Moreover, Mr. Li comes from a prominent family and is innocent. How could those thieves in southern Xinjiang meet? There is no evidence for the words of the thieves in the optimism of the collusion. It is just a one-sided statement of the thief. It is clearly that they want to take advantage of the situation."

Sa Xi immediately started to curse something, but was slapped by the yamen, making him speechless.

Li Xiubin chuckled and said, "Sir, I never like to make friends with people in strange clothes." Wan Junfei, who represents Shenyang Optimism, also said, "We have always been at peace with ourselves. Besides, Shenyang Optimism and Chaotian Palace belong to the Southern School of Dandao, how can we bear to be tragic?"

Xie Lingyun ignored them, suppressed his anger, and asked Zhao Yebu again: "According to the laws and regulations, should a group of suspects be imprisoned first?"

"That's it." Zhao Yebu looked plain and scolded Xie Ke many times in his heart. Is this kid crazy? Do you know some clever magic, but can you still compete with Li and Da Li Chao?

Then Liu Zhubo muttered a few words to his ear, and then he shouted: "There are many suspicious points in this case, and it involves the matter in southern Xinjiang. It takes time to search for evidence. Let's do this. The thief is imprisoned first. Please send someone to help guard the case. The case will be retried in a few days!" After he said that, he slapped the wooden board and said: "Get out!"

Immediately, no matter what the people of the Tian Palace were yelling, Zhao Yebu simply pretended to be deaf and dumb. Amid the "magnificent" shouts of the servants, he stood up and hurriedly left. Then a yamen came forward to drag all the six witch thieves away.

"How can it be like this!" Everyone in Chaotian Palace was helpless and indignant. This is not in compliance with the laws and regulations. Can the princes of the aristocratic family be lawless?

Xie Lingyun gritted his teeth, but could not use the fox bead in public. It was not a matter of origin. First, it was because others did not recognize its function; second, who knew whether Li Wan and others had any magic weapons to make it fail. If it was true and false, they would be confused by the beads.

"Hahaha." Li Xiubin looked at their resentful appearance and couldn't help laughing. He walked to the country bumpkin and grinned in his voice: "Xie Lingyun, don't tell me if Sa Xi is my commander, I will tell you clearly now. I want to destroy your door with my own hands, what are you going to do to me?"

"If you do unrighteous things, you will die." Xie Lingyun clenched his fist and refused to let himself throw it over.

Li Xiubin smiled wildly, and his face was full of mockery: "Yan Hui died in his thirties. Isn't he benevolent enough? Yuan Rang lived until Confucius scolded him for "I'm old but not dead, but for thieves." Hasn't he lived for many years? This world is not a person who is unrighteous, but is a person who is in charge of identity and strength! Do you understand? Haha."

When Wan Junfei heard this, he laughed: "Xie Ke, you have offended the Crown Princess and offended Mr. Li. The court doesn't like you, so don't make things difficult for Lord Zhao! You should stop when you see the good news and save money. If you continue to make trouble, you may even be able to get the reputation of "beating the cow hero" back."

"Haha, let's go!"

Seeing them laughing and leaving, although there were ordinary people outside the yamen criticizing them, it was not a hindrance. Xie Lingyun took a deep breath, and the veins on his forehead roared, and Hengbao was also angry and his words were interrupted: "Senior brother, I really want to hit them..." Chun'er and others also clenched their fists and palms.

Just hitting is not hitting... Xie Lingyun tried hard to calm down. It was evidence, and he wanted to find more powerful evidence...

However, only two days later, when the people of Jinling were still talking about the magical scenery on the Double Ninth Festival, while Xie Lingyun and others were trying to find evidence, a shocking news came to Yecheng Mountain.

"What! Sa Xi and the others are dead!?"

Hearing this news, there were a cry of shock and anger in the hall of Xishan Taoist Court. The six Sa Xi and the others were dead! The government said that they committed suicide by hanging themselves in prison last night. Less than an hour ago, all six corpses were made public in front of the yamen. What's even more amazing is that these witch thieves in the southern border had corpse poison. In order to avoid contagion, they had to be cremated immediately, and then... now only a pile of ashes were left!

"It's too much!" How could everyone sit still? They got up and kept cursing, and the thieves were very weak when they were imprisoned, but as monks, they didn't die so easily, so they "deathed themselves"? All fools knew that they were killed and silenced!

But what can I do now? Their anger was also distressed and helpless, and it was already difficult. Now that people die, there is no evidence of death! In the secular world, power sometimes covers the sky with one hand. The biggest official I knew in Chaotian Palace was Daolushi Famao Dashun. The relationship was not very good, so who could I ask for reason...

Xie Lingyun sat silently, motionless. He should have thought that they would be so cruel and vicious. His previous idea of ​​finding evidence was really a bit naive... They are not afraid of evidence, they are afraid of...

Just as Yecheng Mountain was shrouded in the atmosphere of sad mountains and depressed seas, another Taoist came to Xishan Taoist Courtyard that afternoon, but it was said that someone came to visit him in the hometown of Ake. He was the hunchbacked old man who had come every year.

"Uncle Zhong!" Xie Lingyun's eyes lit up.
Chapter completed!
