"Open the door!"
"Open the door!"
"The government is investigating the case, open the door quickly!"
…
"A murderer escaped into Chang County!"
"The Yamen is searching for murderers all over the city!"
"Coffin shop owner, open the door quickly!"
…
Changxian night sky.
I was woken up by the rapid knocking on the door and the noise of many people.
Suddenly the whole city was in a state of panic, with dogs barking and cats barking one after another in the night.
There were Fushou shops, incense shops... The government officials who were angry with the murder knocked on the door all night long, searching the city for the murderer the government was looking for.
And the initiator of everything was just a word from Jin An.
If the owners of these blessing and longevity shops and incense and candle shops knew that all this happened because of Jin Anxin's impulsive words, they would probably put a scarecrow on Jin Anxin, insert it full of needles, and curse him viciously.
"Master Guan, what is this?"
The owner of a longevity store that sells coffins, the grandfather and grandson who were guarding the shop were woken up by the yamen overnight. The grandfather and grandson, who had not yet figured out their situation, watched with fear as the yamen burst into the store one by one with murderous intent. .
One of the yamen servants took out a bamboo wine tube, uncorked the wine, and the smell of wine immediately came out.
The yamen servant forcefully forced the grandfather and grandson to take a sip of wine from the bamboo tube.
"Old people don't need to worry. This is Sanyang wine. It can not only strengthen the body, but also be used for investigating cases. Please don't embarrass us!"
Jin Anchao said to the old man in a gentle and courteous manner.
Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were hesitant and did not immediately take the wine bottle to drink Sanyang wine, the yamen officer drew a knife and forced the grandfather and grandson to drink Sanyang wine quickly.
Jin An didn't stop this.
Because now is a critical moment for the city-wide manhunt, and we must race against time.
"Drink, drink."
"We drink, we drink."
"Master, please don't draw your sword. If you have something to say, please speak it up. We, the grandson and grandpa, will definitely do it."
The older grandfather knew that even a scholar could not explain why he met a soldier. He did not dare to resist the official's words. Gudong, gudong, he drank a sip of realgar wine and fed his grandson another sip.
"Please also ask the old man and your grandson to take off your shirts and raise your arms."
"We are just checking whether there are any sword wounds on your body. The murderer the yamen is chasing was injured before escaping capture."
Jin An told a little lie.
Sometimes people only need a simple reason to cooperate with the government, and there is no need to create too much panic.
Xixisuosuo.
There was a sound of undressing and rubbing.
After checking that there were no abnormalities in his armpits and chest, Jin An asked his government officials to enter the store and conduct a thorough search to see if anyone else was hiding in the store.
With Jin An's current cultivation level, the number of times he can perform the Qi Watching Technique is limited.
It cannot be used repeatedly.
…
…
This city-wide manhunt went on all night.
At dawn, these noisy sounds gradually subsided.
However, Jin An gained nothing from the city-wide search that night. Jin An began to wonder if his thinking was wrong?
The other party is not a fortune shop or incense and candle shop at all. Isn't it using these shops to hide people's wounds?
Jin'an even burned all the paper-jammed people found throughout the city, but he still couldn't find any clues.
Of course, all the money spent to buy these paper sticks was allocated by the Yamen.
After Jin An thought deeply, he found Feng Captou again. He was hiding secretly during the day and did not dare to come out. Every household in the city was searched once.
Fortunately, now is the annual Qingming Temple Fair in Chang County, which is the most grand event. Public security is tense, so Magistrate Zhang agreed to a city-wide manhunt.
But after working hard for two or three days, I still didn't get anything.
as if……
Is this matter settled like this?
Jin An originally wanted to fish out a few more people who had been stabbed with paper, so as to earn a little more sin.
Regarding the acquisition of yin virtue, he had slowly got some ideas in his mind.
It seems that this evil virtue must be able to change the fate of others in order to obtain it?
For example, giving food to beggars and setting up rice porridge stalls to help the poor are just ordinary meals for people, but they are far from being able to change people's destiny.
For example, he solved two cases and changed the fate of the deceased and several families.
Another example is the Zhizharen he killed. These Zhizharen were all sinister monsters who had killed people and disrupted the order of the underworld. By beheading these paper-pricked people, he was equal to restoring peace to the underworld, repaying the grievances of the deceased, and preventing more people from being killed in the underworld.
These are all about changing the fate of others.
It is also Yin De’s greatest contribution.
And now.
He lacks moral character.
He relies heavily on the century-old tonic soup and the century-old medicinal wine brought by Yin De Jifeng.
Without these century-old medicines, how could he make such rapid progress? Learning martial arts would be like a miracle!
Now, after removing and sealing out the New Hundred Years' "Shengui Dabu Decoction" and the New Century's "Dragon and Tiger Medicinal Wine", after Jin An killed three paper-throwing people, he still has the number of evil virtues left -
Two hundred and five hundred and eighty.
On this day, the whole city searched for two or three days, but no results were obtained. Fearing that if it continued like this, it would become a nuisance to the people, the government issued an order, and the whole city's search ended here.
As soon as this matter was over, Feng Baotou, who was very good at dealing with people and sophistication, invited Jin An and the old Taoist priest to a banquet at Deshan Tower. Firstly, he held a banquet to thank them for their help, and secondly, he also thanked the old Taoist priest for saving his life.
The old Taoist priest who had always been thinking about Babao Chicken was so greedy that his eyes turned green when he heard that Feng Baotou was entertaining guests at Deshan Tower.
After a full meal, the topic couldn't help but turn to Zheng Yuanhu and Zhizharen.
"In the past few days, we sent several brothers to Changshangpan Village to re-investigate the gunpowder case. As a result, we received unexpected news that Li Cailiang's body was missing."
"Missed?"
"It is indeed missing, not stolen." Feng Baantou's face was still a little pale due to excessive blood loss.
In addition, after being injured for a hundred days, even if the warrior's physique is stronger than ordinary people and the recovery time is faster, the stab wound on Feng Baotou's chest is still not fully healed, so Feng Baotou cannot have any drinks at this banquet. They all use tea instead of wine, holding a celadon teacup in their palms.
"But because the Qingming Temple Fair is approaching, the case of Li Cailiang's corpse can only be left alone. Now the focus of the Yamen is on the Qingming Temple Fair. To protect the smooth holding of the Qingming Temple Fair, there will be an influx of a large number of foreign tourists, and to maintain public security in the city. It’s the most important thing right now.”
Hearing this, Jin An asked curiously: "Captain Zheng became a possessed evil corpse when he was investigating the case in Shangpan Village. Are there no other doubts in Shangpan Village?"
Feng Captou looked solemn and shook his head: "We haven't found anything yet."
Jin An asked again: "So, will the private gunpowder case that was originally closed by Mr. Zheng be reopened?"
Capt. Feng solemnly said: "I would also like to ask Mr. Jin An and Daochang Chen to keep the rest of the conversation confidential. To be honest, the voices in the yamen now feel that the time and location of this private gunpowder case are very sensitive..."
"It's very possible that they are here for the Qingming Temple Fair that is approaching soon..."
"But now there is a serious shortage of manpower, and we have no time to take care of other places. We can only defend Chang County with all our strength, and use all our manpower to strictly guard the safety of Chang County and the safety of the Qingming Temple Fair."
"Magistrate Zhang has reported this matter to the capital."
When talking about this, Capt. Feng mentioned another thing: "I wonder if you two have ever heard of escorts?"
