"General Flag, I have seen the bodies of the two criminals. There is a flesh ball on their chest and abdomen near the heart. It is a fatal disease. Generally speaking, people with this kind of thing can only live for three years, but they But it's not serious. It seems that the body has spontaneously developed a kind of confinement ability to confine the viciousness of the fatal disease to a very small area and prevent it from spreading...
In addition, the mental state of these two prisoners was abnormal, but no reason could be found. "
The doctor came over to report the results and confirmed that the Zhao brothers were indeed suffering from a serious disease, and they managed to survive for unknown reasons. It was attributed to fear that it was really related to the so-called blood steaming.
Let the Zhao brothers rest for a while. The interrogation will continue after noon, starting with Zhao and Kun first.
"My brother and I were born in the ninth year of Kaiyuan..."
Shen Hao felt ridiculous when he heard this. Now is the Jingjiu Calendar, the Kaiyuan Calendar is the previous calendar cycle, and according to the custom of the Jingjiu Dynasty, a legislative cycle is ninety-nine years. If what Zhao Hekun said is true, wouldn't he be one hundred and sixteen years old this year? !
"I know you don't believe it, but it's true. The reason why we want to start a family and use fake identities is because we have lived too long, long enough to arouse suspicion..."
According to Zhao and Kun, it has been nearly a hundred years since the two brothers obtained the method of blood steaming. They traveled all over the land of the old Jing Dynasty from east to west and south to north. They only stayed in each place for a maximum of twenty years. It will be somewhere else in ten years.
At the beginning, they went around the streets and alleys under the guise of "divination skills" to inquire about the birth dates of children from all over the country, and then used the magic tools and pan-spiritual stones given to them by the wandering cultivator to kidnap people.
But later they found that the income from walking around was too low to afford the consumption of pan spirit stones. In addition, the inefficiency of inquiries from place to place was not only low, but also easily aroused suspicion. After much thought, they set their sights on the Population Department, which had local population information. As long as they could work in the Yamen Population Department, it would be easy to find targets in the future.
So the two brothers began to study how to enter the Population Department of the Yamen.
Others may not have so much energy and time to study how to enter a Qingshui Yamen, but the Zhao brothers have plenty. According to Zhao and Kun, the brothers can rejuvenate themselves after receiving the "treatment" of blood steaming, and their physical characteristics will continue to cycle within a specific range.
Brother Zhao Hesheng will continue to cycle between the ages of twenty and fifty, neither too young nor too old. Zhao and Kun will cycle between the ages of thirty and sixty. This is also the reason why Zhao Hesheng looks much younger than Zhao Hekun.
However, these were only one-sided words from the two brothers. No one knew whether they had arranged the words in advance, so in order to confirm the two men's statements, Shen Hao went to the recruitment station of Guishan Monastery in Licheng and borrowed the "Sui Stone" , a magical stone mirror that can accurately measure a person's true age.
This thing is used when Guishan Monastery recruits disciples. It is very precious. At least the Licheng Guardhouse does not have the ability to equip such a thing.
It is now the latent cultivation period of Guishan Monastery, so the Sui Shi is just idle in the residence, and the people from the Foreign Affairs Hall are also very considerate to Heiqiying. After hearing Shen Hao's request, they immediately came with the Sui Shi.
"These two people are very strange...their real age is over a hundred years old..."
The outer deacon of Guishan Seminary was very curious, but he was embarrassed to ask more questions. He was also worried about Xuan Qingwei's case being too abrupt and causing misunderstandings. So I left after leaving the result of the age stone. When I left, I could still hear this man's muttering. I also couldn't understand how two people who had no practice at all could live to such an age and still have "fine features".
After Shen Hao sent away the outer deacons of Guishan Monastery, he returned to the guardhouse and felt frightened.
The Zhao brothers really relied on the art of blood steaming to resist a fatal disease, and they also lived to be over a hundred years old without any sign of decrepitude.
In other words, if this continues, won't the Zhao brothers become "immortals" in the general sense? !
Thinking deeper, Shen Hao felt a chill in his head.
He turned back and said word by word to Wang Jian and Zhang Liao, who had been following him: "Without my permission, no matter about the blood steam is allowed to be disclosed to the outside world. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
Wang Jian and Zhang Liao nodded quickly and did not dare to say anything. They also knew in their hearts that if the blood boiling incident really spread, there might be big trouble.
People can often be so bad that they can't even imagine.
Killing others and making yourself immortal is probably not a loss-making business in the eyes of many people, but a huge profit!
But Shen Hao still didn't believe it. He didn't believe there was such a cheap immortality in the world! If so, what else is there to practice? Do you think all monks are fools?
However, in the next three days, no matter what methods Shen Hao used, he was unable to get any more information from the Zhao brothers. It turned out that these two people had been squeezed dry, and they did not know about that person. Who is the "cultivation that saved them"? Even the other person's appearance was too general to describe accurately.
Even so, Shen Hao still boldly concluded that the monk who taught the Zhao brothers the blood steaming method was most likely an evil monk. It's just that Shen Hao still doesn't know the purpose of the evil monk teaching the Zhao brothers the blood steaming method.
In fact, up to now, the series of disappearance cases headed by Liu Yan's case can be concluded. The murderer was caught, the evidence was conclusive, and his confession was accurate, which fully complied with the procedures for closing the case. But Shen Hao was dragging his feet. He always believed that things would never be that simple. His intuition told him that there was still a hidden piece of the puzzle left in the case.
But on the fifth day, I couldn't hold it off any longer. Not only did Tang Qingyuan ask Shen Hao to close the case quickly so that he could produce a complete file to stem the pressure from Fengri City, but Chen Yiyun and Jiang Cheng also explicitly and implicitly asked Shen Hao to speed up the process.
In the end, Shen Hao had no choice but to classify the dossier as "top secret" and then reported it to a few people including Tang Qingyuan, Chen Yiyun, and Jiang Cheng. It involves the method of blood steaming, a very harmful technique that has not yet been truly understood, so Shen Hao has to be cautious.
But after the file was reported, the response from the Qianhu Office in Fengri City exceeded Shen Hao's expectations.
The approved note read: The criminals Zhao Hekun and Zhao Hesheng will be executed immediately, and the executions must not be made public. The list cannot mention any words about evil monks, nor can it describe in detail the process of committing the crime.
It's time to close the lid quickly.
Although it was not a formal order, Shen Hao did not dare not to follow it. Jiang Cheng may have helped him shoulder a lot of pressure. It would be shameless if he refused to listen.
That night, Shen Hao personally caught the knife and randomly found a torture room in the Black Flag Camp of Xuanqing Guard in Licheng as the place to execute the Zhao brothers.
"Good deeds and evil deeds will eventually be rewarded. If there is a next life, you two would be better off being pigs and dogs to pay off your debts."
Shen Hao raised the Yanji knife in his hand and raised it high above his head. As he finished speaking, he slashed down with the knife. The blade passed by, and the two heads fell into the bamboo basket with a bang. The blood spurted out from the remaining half of the neck. Mi Duoyuan quickly lost its spray power and fell to the ground.
But the few people in the torture room who were about to collect the bodies were suddenly stopped by Shen Hao and told them to get out immediately...
