[mouse cat] special way

Chapter 88

"Brother Zhan, this is..." Zhao Hu and Ma Han had never seen the Heavenly Book before, and they only felt that the smell of the yellow thing made people feel very uncomfortable. The feeling is gone.

Zhan Zhao put away the jade slips, and tried his best to suppress the churning blood. After a while, he said, "This is a very important evidence. It was lost before. I didn't expect to find it here." Some things are too heavy , Knowing is not necessarily a good thing.

Zhao Hu let out an "oh", feeling strange but didn't take it to heart.When he looked down at the woman again, he was surprised to find that the woman was out of breath, and he panicked: "Ah! She...she's out of breath!"

Ma Han quickly squatted down, felt the woman's pulse, lifted his face to Zhan Zhao and shook his head, "She's dead."

"It's impossible, I didn't use much effort!" Zhao Hu muttered in disbelief.

"It seems she died of starvation." Ma Han said while checking, "What's so strange, she stayed in the woods for two months, she couldn't find food, and she was unconscious. It's not easy now."

There is nothing on this woman to prove her identity. Ma Han sighed, clapped his hands and stood up, looked at Zhan Zhao and said, "It seems that our clues have been broken again. Why did those killers chase after this woman, and who did it?" What about the killers?"

Zhao Hu wondered, "Yeah, if someone kills the killer to protect this woman, why not just take her away? It's okay to send some food and settle down."

Zhan Zhao frowned, and said, "I have a feeling that she killed those killers."

"Who?"

"This woman."

"What? Impossible." Zhao Hu opened his eyes wide, pointed at the female corpse under his feet and said, "How strong is she, can she break the spines of three men?" It's unbelievable!

Zhan Zhao shook his head, inadvertently pressed his waist, he seemed to find a clue.

The scroll of gold is sure to win. Its berserk breath can greatly enhance a person's strength, whether it is external or internal strength.This woman's strange power is probably given by the scroll of worshiping gold. If this kind of strange power is placed in the army, it may be even more powerful.Zhan Zhao understood in his heart that the power of the Golden Scroll is far greater than the other heavenly books, because of the matter of the Sky Tower, the Golden Scroll is the only book that has been completely unsealed. If it is not stored properly, everyone around it will be punished. Influence.

It is impossible to explain this to the two of them right now, but what is certain is that as long as the golden scroll is on him, the impact can be minimized.Zhan Zhao raised his head and smiled and said, "This is just my speculation, we'd better go to the county government office as soon as possible."

Ma Han also couldn't believe this matter, but seeing Zhan Zhao seemed to be preoccupied, he put this matter on his mind for the time being.He thought for a while and asked, "Brother Zhan, what should we do with this woman's corpse?"

"What else can I do, of course I took it back." Zhao Hu curled his lips, squatted down resignedly, and prepared to carry the body back, "Hey, why haven't the yamen servants here come yet, have they lost their way?" Everyone who raises the taste is a little dissatisfied-the efficiency of this work is too low.

"Wait." Ma Han stopped Zhao Hu, feeling that something was wrong.

"As far as I know, most of the local county government officials choose local people." Ma Han's voice was so soft that he seemed to be talking to himself.

"That's right." Zhao Hu gave him a puzzled look, "It's not our Kaifeng mansion, who has nothing to do and came here to work."

"What did Brother Ma find?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"When I went to the county office, the arrester told me that no one came to the county office to report the case." Ma Han looked around and lowered his voice, "The county magistrate has not received any similar cases."

Zhao Hu said in surprise: "Really? Who beat old man Ni's grandson? They dare to beat someone, but they dare not admit it!" grandparents.

Zhan Zhao pondered for a while, and asked, "Did Brother Ma see the county magistrate?"

Ma Han shook his head: "Master said that my lord is out, so I won't accept the case for the time being. If I hadn't shown the seal of Kaifeng mansion, the yamen servants would have thrown me out. Later, when Fang Butou came out and heard about it, he would Take someone with me to see."

"The Ni family village is not far in this woods, and those killers didn't die two months ago." Zhan Zhao walked to the woman's body and squatted down, and took a closer look, "With this woman's condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of the woods." , but the killers are sane and not subject to this restriction. They can take the woman out of the forest, but they are always active here, there must be some reason." What is the reason?Old man Ni said that his grandson had been to the county government, but the county government said they had never seen them.

Zhao Hu suddenly realized: "Ah! I understand, someone..." Seeing Ma Han frowning, he quickly swallowed his words.

Before the words fell, there was a sound of rustling footsteps.The three of them looked up, and there were several fires in the forest. It turned out that Fang Butou brought the yamen servants to look for them.

"Hey! Lao Fang, this way." Zhao Hu waved his hand, calling them over.

Fang Butou led seven or eight yamen servants quickly through the woods, and the yamen servants scattered in all directions when they were a few steps away from the three of them. He himself held a torch and went forward to apologize. "The subordinate is late, please forgive me. What's the matter?" Seeing the man on the ground, he seemed to be taken aback, his eyes were full of concern, "What's wrong with this man?"

"She is the female ghost we saw before, and she is dead." Ma Han glanced at Zhan Zhao, and explained, "Did the officials in the county government come with you?"

"It was originally here, but then I went back to the county with the corpses before." Fang Butou said shyly, "Our place is small, and we have never had so many lives. There is only one servant as a servant."

"Since that's the case, the head arrester from the Labor Party sent someone to send this female body back to the city." Zhan Zhao slightly cupped his hands, and said bluntly, "Zhan wants to see the magistrate of your county."

"Yes, yes, the county magistrate should have returned." Fang Butou wiped the sweat from his forehead, followed Zhan Zhao, and sent another yamen servant to carry the body, and the scattered yamen servants also gathered around.Zhao Hu heaved a sigh of relief, and finally did not need him to carry the female corpse.

When they arrived in Mian County, Ma Han followed Fang Tutou to Yizhuang, while Zhan Zhao took Zhao Hu to the county government.The night was dark, there were no pedestrians on the street, not even a watchman was seen, and the silence was a bit penetrating.Zhao Hu noticed that there was a bright red lantern hanging on the door of every house along the street. The lantern was not hung up for a long time, and the color was so bright that it seemed to bleed.There are also rune patterns drawn with a gold brush on the lanterns. The rune patterns on each lantern are different. At first glance, it seems that plum blossoms are flying around, with no rules to follow. If you look carefully, the petals are covered Invisible lines one by one are gathered into big characters flying around.

Zhao Hu saw many runes along the way, but he didn't recognize any of them, so he couldn't help casting doubtful eyes on the people next to him.

Catcher Fang saw him, and explained with a wry smile: "I don't know who leaked the news. Everyone knows that more than a dozen people died outside the city. Our place is small, and the villagers have never seen any big scenes, and they are all terrified." Now, everyone hangs out red lanterns to ward off evil spirits."

Zhao Hu nodded half-understood, then glanced at Zhan Zhao quietly, seeing that his expression was normal, he felt a little relieved.He asked, "So that's the case. However, the rune on this lamp is..."

"Is this..." Fang Butou was a little embarrassed.

"Is it convenient to say?" Zhao Hu became even more curious, "Could it be your county's secret?"

"Shangguan was joking..." Fang Tutou curled his lips and said helplessly, "To be honest, these runes were written by our county magistrate. He has a lot of experience in Taoism, so..."

So there are these things?Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised and a little relaxed, he didn't expect to see the plum blossom Yi Suan Tianyan hexagram here, maybe the situation is not as bad as he thought.

"Speaking of which, Zhan was rude. I have been with you for so long, and I haven't asked the magistrate of your county for his name."

"Uh, my lord is too modest. The county magistrate's surname is Shao, and the name of the above-mentioned descendant is taboo."

Shao Shuzu?

Zhao Hu glanced at Zhan Zhao in surprise, and saw that he shook his head calmly, so he changed the subject: "Hey, isn't that Master? Why is he standing alone at the door."

Catcher Fang looked up, didn't he, there was only a lone figure at the gate of the empty county government office, who was either the master or whoever.He met the same helpless old face and sighed.

The master saw a group of people coming back from a distance, and rushed over in three steps at a time: "I have seen two adults. The student Chen Chuan is the master of the county government. The adults have worked hard all the way, please come to the mansion to rest." Then let them go to the government office.

While returning the gift, Zhan Zhao said, "Mr. Chen has worked hard. This time Zhan is here to visit the magistrate of your county. Has Mr. Shao come back?"

"To be honest, my lord, he hasn't returned to the residence yet." Master Chen said softly, "The student has already sent someone to look for it. I believe there will be news soon."

Haven't come back yet?

Zhao Hu couldn't help asking: "After such a big incident, the county magistrate has not returned for a long time. As subordinates, don't you know his whereabouts?" How decent is this!

"Forgive me, sir, your whereabouts are always unpredictable, and you don't like us to follow and protect, there is nothing we can do about it." Fang Butou explained, glanced at the yamen servants behind him, and they quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, my lord often disappears when he says he can't see you, and we have nowhere to look for him. When he swims enough, he will come back naturally." The master sighed, "Every few days, my lord will send back news. Today is the third day."

"How could such a thing happen?!" Zhao Hu frowned. The county magistrate was too irresponsible. My lord, it is too reliable.

"The two of you should go to the backyard to rest first. The students have already ordered someone to prepare the food and drinks." The master bowed again and asked Zhan Zhao and others to enter.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, as if he wasn't angry at all: "In this case, let's take a rest first. There is no need for food and drink, please ask Master to bring some hot soup."

The master looked happy, and quickly arranged, and after a while, the hot soup for bathing and washing was delivered to the backyard.The master personally delivered the midnight snack to Zhan Zhao's room, and said a few kind words for Master Shao, who was wandering around, before turning around and leaving.

"Master Chen," Zhan Zhao called to the person who had left, and asked softly, "Master Shao... Will he come back?"

The master froze for a moment, pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, my lord... he has always been very lucky. Taoism is also... very powerful. Thank you, Mr. Zhan, for your concern." He quickly glanced at the wall and said goodbye leave.

Zhan Zhao looked at the empty wall thoughtfully, then turned and entered the room.

In the next yard, Zhao Hu quickly wrung out the towel, wiped off the water droplets on his body, and put on his clothes.All the way, eating and sleeping in the open, it would be nice to have hot soup and rice to eat, and just make do with washing and so on, and he just had a good freshen up when he got here.When he put on his coat, a servant just happened to bring a midnight snack.He was already hungry, and a bowl of noodle soup was exhausted in a short while.

It's easy to get sleepy when you're full. Maybe it's because you're tired. Zhao Hu was about to go to sleep on the bed, but he fell limp on the ground before he could stand up.

With a flicker of the lamp, the young servant just pushed the door open and came in.He gave Zhao Hu a slight push, and seeing that he was sound asleep and didn't react at all, he clapped his hands reassuringly.Two servants came in quickly, picked up Zhao Hu and left.The boy quickly packed up the things in the house with his hands and feet, as if no one had ever come in here.
