Bang——!
The government officer who was guarding the barren mountain suddenly felt the ground shaking beneath his feet, and then a stalwart man with burning fire all over his body jumped up from the cliff.
Bai Duo landed with a crash, his fiery red hair dancing in the wind, and sparks flashing in the depths of his eyes.
"Mr. Bai...Mr. Bai?" The yamen servant was so burned by the hot air that he couldn't open his eyes. He could only squint and look at the man in front of him.
Bai Duo glanced at him casually, restrained the inner energy of Lihuo that escaped from his body, and said in an indifferent voice: "Did Lord Yao ask you to wait again? How many days have passed outside?"
The officer did not dare to neglect the current Bai Duo, and said hurriedly and respectfully: "Your Excellency, ten days have passed since you were in seclusion from the outside world.
It was Yao's garrison who ordered me to wait again. "
"Has it been ten days? Nothing major happened in the city during this period, right?" Bai Duo asked.
"Nothing big happened, and the plague in the city has been controlled by Taoist Cui, but there is one strange thing."
"Strange thing? What strange thing?"
The yamen officer tried his best to recall, but no matter his status, the information he had was only hearsay.
Seeing that the yamen servant was hesitating and didn't say anything for a long time, Bai Duo simply waved his hand and stopped embarrassing him.
"No wonder only one government officer was sent to guard me. It turns out there is another ghost trouble in the city."
Bai Duo squinted his eyes, this new strangeness was just a good measure of his current strength.
He simply used Qing Gong, and a steady stream of Lihuo inner energy rushed towards the soles of his feet, much faster than before when there was no inner energy.
Soon Bai Duo rushed from the wilderness to the Liumen headquarters. He saw more than a dozen corpses covered with white cloth lined up outside the mansion, from old to young, from men to women, neatly arranged. They had obviously been killed. The door was full.
No one was spared.
"Did you succeed?" Yao Junsu's eyes suddenly brightened up. He looked at Bai Duo who was coming in a hurry, and he couldn't hide his excitement in his tone.
According to his rough calculation, the probability of successfully absorbing Nan Mingli's fire energy was no more than 40%, but he did not expect that not only was Bai Duo safe and sound, but the Nan Mingli fire energy in his body was also much stronger than he expected.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life!" Bai Duo walked forward and punched Yao Junsu. Then he lifted up the white cloth on the corpse, raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and asked, "What happened?"
The corpse's face turned a strange gray color, its eyes were closed tightly, its mouth was wide open, and the expression on its face was distorted by extreme fear.
The body was also incomplete, as if it had been cut with a sharp weapon, and the wound was covered with dense white hair.
Apparently something terrible happened during his lifetime and he was brutally killed.
This method of committing crimes must be a ghost.
"It's the Chang family in the north of the city. No one in the whole house was spared. They all became the souls of the dead on the Naihe Bridge." Lin Qianye came over. He was in a very bad state of mind. As the chief arrester of the six gates, these ghosts He has to personally deal with everything.
The previous killings by mirror ghosts were nothing compared to this time.
In addition, the Chen Mansion deliberately blocked the news, so few people knew that there were ghosts causing trouble in the city.
But this time, the Chang family obviously couldn't hide it anymore. At this moment, the six doors were already surrounded by panicked people.
"Didn't I say before that as long as we block the plague in the outer city, our inner city will be safe and sound? But why are there still people dying? You don't even know why they were massacred in broad daylight!"
The dissatisfaction of the people in the inner city can hardly be suppressed. They are shouting outside the blockade, but these are respectable people.
They are not ordinary working people.
The influence is extremely far-reaching.
There was even a group of scholars following him.
They have stayed in Fenyin for so many years, met so many people, and paid so many taxes, isn't it just for their personal safety?
The outer city is almost occupied, and there is also a murderer in the inner city.
How can it not make people panic?
"Someone come and take care of these unruly people! My head is about to explode!" Lin Qianye was upset and shouted directly at his subordinates.
The newly recruited young detective was so frightened that he ran to clear the crowd.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. It's useless for you to get angry with these people. Too many things have happened in the past few days, and the public's mood is already on the verge of collapse.
Water can carry or overturn a boat. Normally, you can use force to suppress them, but right now they are like wolves in a hurry. If you still use strong methods, they may not bite anyone.
It would be bad if it leads to riots. "
Bai Duo's thinking is sharp and his mentality is very stable. In fact, he is not grumpy, and is even very easy-going, but only if you don't block his way.
It is reasonable for people to be dissatisfied with their current life and want to complain.
"Young man Bai is right. Old Lin, you should rein in your bad temper." Goldman Sachs also came out of the six-door headquarters with a tired look on his face. Originally, he was reviewing the petition with Yang Qingze, but he was also attracted by the movement outside. .
When Bai Duo saw Goldman Sachs coming out, he immediately asked: "Master Gao, I've heard about this tragedy of annihilation, and no one has told me in detail even after I've been here for a long time.
I have heard about this Chang family before. It is considered an honest family. Although it does not have a huge fortune, it can be regarded as a small wealthy family in the inner city.
There are also martial artists recruited in the mansion, but now they are all dead quietly.
Did they offend someone from the devil's path who was highly skilled in martial arts, or did they encounter a strange event? "
Bai Duo actually prefers the latter.
"To be honest, on the day the case occurred, there was no sound in the entire Chang Mansion. What kind of demon can kill so many people silently?
Even Ning Gang Realm warriors can't do it.
So I think it's more like a ghost. "
Goldman Sachs spoke in a low tone and glanced at the people around him. There were more than a dozen people in Chang's house, and the neighbors reported the case because the bodies smelled bad.
If not, this tragedy would have been discovered a few days later.
"Taboo... they violated the taboo, that's why they died, that's why they died... we will die too, it became a spirit!" The homeless man huddled in the corner suddenly yelled. He screamed, causing many people to turn around in surprise. He looked crazy and was rolling on the ground as if his whole body was on fire.
Lin Qianye winked at the many government officials, picked up the crazy old beggar, and dragged him directly into the six-door courtyard.
They closed the heavy door and ignored the anger of the people outside.
"Taboo, what taboo? How did the people in Chang Mansion die? Do you know anything?" Bai Duo quickly came to the old beggar, raised his hand and gave him two big mouths, and the huge force directly hit his face. It was swollen from the fan.
Severe pain came, and the old beggar became more conscious.
"The paper man has no eyes to draw, the paper horse has no eyebrows, and no one listens to the laughter of the horse. If you don't remember the King of Hell's invitation!" The old beggar seemed to have recalled something, holding his head with both hands and shaking it, "There is a problem. , there is something wrong with the paper man that the Chang family invited back!"
