The black-faced monk and Huang Teng were captured, and then they were interrogated and asked to sign and be deposited.
Otherwise, if they return to Qiuyang County and regret it, they may put the blame on themselves.
After all, I am an outsider, and if I don't do it well, I will get involved.
Zhao Lin has the experience of being a police officer and knows all about the secrets inside, so he knows that he must settle the matter firmly.
He originally wanted the two of them to write their confessions on paper, but when he checked the black-faced monk's lock bag, he found two messenger charms.
In addition to the runes on the talisman, there is also the word "Uehara".
"Can these two messenger talismans be sent to Uehara County?"
The black-faced monk took a look and replied: "Yes, Zhouyi has contacts with Uehara County. If anything happens, use the messenger talisman to exchange news with them."
Zhao Lin's heart moved and he said: "You two, write down the matter of colluding with bandit cultivators on it!"
The black-faced monk and Huang Teng were naturally unwilling, but they couldn't stand Zhao Lin's torture methods, so they had to write one copy each according to his request, and then signed and fingerprinted.
"It's your turn."
Zhao Lin handed two messenger charms to Song Laosan.
Song Laosan knew that talking was useless, so he ignored the resentful looks of the black-faced monk and Huang Teng, and signed and stamped his name on the talisman.
After checking it, Zhao Lin nodded with satisfaction. With these two confessions, everything was settled.
But he still needs to add another layer of insurance to himself.
Then, Zhao Lin picked up a messenger talisman and slapped it suddenly.
The messenger talisman suddenly glowed brightly, rolled up into a long and thin cylinder, shot through the air like an arrow, and flew towards Shangyuan County.
Zhao Lin was relieved. As long as the news reached Shangyuan County, Qiuyang County would not be able to protect him, and he would be safe.
"This is……"
The black-faced monk and Huang Teng looked at each other, wondering why Zhao Lin would do this.
"The villain is ignorant, please let us two go! You can take the contents of the lock bag, but as long as you have a large amount, you will not hold us accountable any more."
the black-faced monk pleaded.
"Yes, I still have more than two hundred spiritual stones at home, and I will honor you as well."
Huang Teng also said quickly.
"No need!"
Zhao Lin struck out three palms in a row, knocking all three of them unconscious.
Then he tied the black-faced monk and Huang Teng together with a rope, lifted the two of them up with one hand, and carried Song Laosan with the other hand, and ran towards the Yinfeng Valley.
Although he could take the criminal back to the county alone, doing so was a waste of time and made him feel guilty, as he wanted to go back in a spirit boat in an upright manner.
After about a meal, Zhao Lin came to the vicinity of Yinfeng Valley and saw a small spiritual boat anchored outside the valley from a distance.
There is a strong Yin energy in the Yinfeng Valley. In addition to the entrance to the Yinfeng Realm, there are also large medicinal gardens and farms.
Yin spiritual herbs are planted in the medicine garden, and many medicinal Yin scorpions are raised in the farm.
Therefore, the passengers on the spirit boat include local monks from Qiuyang County, as well as monks from other counties who have completed their sect tasks and come out of the Yinfeng Realm.
Originally, the spirit boat was about to return, but the two people responsible for driving the spirit boat were not there.
The ship's guard was about to send someone to search for him, and was surprised to see Zhao Lin coming over with three people.
"Who are you? Why are Hei Pi and Huang Teng in your hands? What did you do to them?"
Before Zhao Lin could speak, the leader of the guard kept questioning him.
While talking, he surrounded him with several of his subordinates, obviously not treating Zhao Lin as a good person.
"These two are called Hei Pi and Huang Teng, right?"
Zhao Lin held up the two men and said loudly on purpose: "They colluded with the bandit cultivators and robbed the passing cultivators. I caught them when we met just now. There are both witnesses and physical evidence!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate uproar on the spirit boat.
The monks on the boat jumped off one after another and gathered around to watch the fun.
"Nonsense, these two are boatmen, how can they collude with bandit cultivators?"
The guard leader immediately refuted.
"That's right, where are you from? Why do you say that?"
The guard's men also followed suit.
"Hey, isn't that man a bandit cultivator? He looks exactly like the picture on the reward notice."
"Yes, this person is the bandit Xiu Song Lao San, who has been entrenched in Yinfeng Valley for more than half a year."
"When the two boatmen went out just now, did they really meet with bandit cultivators?"
The monks who were watching the excitement were all talking.
The guard leader looked gloomy, looked at Zhao Lin a few times, and said disdainfully: "With your mere third-level Qi refining skills, how can you arrest all three of them?"
Zhao Lin wrote lightly: "I am a martial arts cultivator, and I have the ability to arrest people."
The leader of the guard said: "Okay, I will assume that you have this ability. You just said that there are both witnesses and physical evidence. Where is the physical evidence?"
Zhao Lin sneered, threw the two of them to the ground, took out the messenger charm with the confession recorded, and showed it to everyone.
"They wrote it themselves, does it count?"
When everyone took a look, it was clearly written on it.
The guard leader snorted, "Did you force them to write this?"
Zhao Lin looked at them coldly, thinking that he was lucky to have knocked them unconscious. If they complained now, there might be troubles.
"You have been speaking for the two of them. Are you on the same page with them?"
The guard leader choked for breath, "You are spitting blood!"
Zhao Lin put away his confession, grabbed the two people on the ground, took the lead in boarding the spirit boat, and looked back.
"Whether the two of them are guilty or not will be known when they return to the county for a trial. I advise you not to rush to be a dutiful son to them. If there is a problem, wouldn't it mean that they have become an accomplice?"
"you!"
The leader of the guard was so angry that he couldn't stop it. Not to mention that there were several monks from outside the county present, and Zhao Lin's confession was written on a messenger charm. He could let him go at any time, and he couldn't stop him at all.
Everyone returned to the spirit boat and found a problem: no one was operating the boat.
The leader of the guard suppressed his anger, looked around at everyone and said, "Who among you can control the spirit boat?"
It is not difficult to control a small spirit boat. All you need to do is practice a few low-level spells. Several monks immediately volunteered to step forward.
Zhao Lin was sitting in the corner, and the guards deliberately sat next to him and surrounded him.
"Fellow Taoist, how did you catch them?"
"Yes, come and listen."
As the spirit boat started to move, several monks asked curiously.
"The thing is like this..."
Zhao Lin didn't hide anything, and vividly recounted the black-faced monk's request for a ticket for three hundred spirit coins, his encounter with the bandit cultivator on the road, and the detection and arrest process.
The more people who know something, the safer you will be.
After everyone heard this, they all found it more believable, but there was only one point: Zhao Lin's cultivation level was only at the third level of Qi Refining, but he killed bandit cultivators at the seventh level and captured alive the eighth level Qi Refining level.
Zhao Lin knew the doubts in everyone's minds and took the initiative to explain: "I just said that I am a martial arts practitioner, and I deliberately showed weakness during the fight, so I won by chance."
After listening to Zhao Lin's description, the guard leader's expression softened. Based on experience, Zhao Lin's words should be close to the truth even if they were embellished.
I was so eager to defend the local monks just now that I almost made a mistake. Although I still had a cold face, I no longer had any hostility towards Zhao Lin in my heart.
In less than half an hour, the spirit boat arrived at Qiuyang County.
