"for you."
In the room, Lin Bei suddenly took off his belt and handed it to Chu Liang.
"what?"
Chu Liang, who was serious, was immediately confused when he saw him like this.
"You have tied him up and lit the candles. Without a whip, I still feel like there is something missing." Lin Beidao: "Use this to push him up."
"..." Chu Liang looked at this pervert speechlessly.
Lin Bei looked at the pervert in front of him with a humble and learning expression.
"This is not that kind of candle..." Chu Liang had to explain, "This is the Yingxin Candle that can test whether he is lying."
As he spoke, he placed the black candle on the table, letting the candlelight illuminate the man's figure and cast a long shadow on the wall.
This man was in his thirties or forties, with dark skin and short stature. He was tied to the ground with a panicked look on his face.
I heard Chu Liang say that this is the Yingxin Candle, not for that purpose. He breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then he took another breath and became nervous.
"Now let me ask you, are you and the person who died on the ground together? What are you here to do?" Chu Liang said.
"I don't know..." The man shook his head immediately.
"You have the right to remain silent." Chu Liang said, "But when the officers and soldiers arrive, I will feed you to the golden retriever immediately. Anyway, eating one or two is the same to it."
"No, no, no!" The man immediately panicked after hearing this, "I was just... I was just passing by and saw that spiritual beast eating people..."
call.
As soon as he said these words, the Yingxin Candle suddenly swayed in the wind, and his shadow on the wall was insubstantial and inexplicable, and it took a long time to stop!
"I believe you can also see that you lied." Chu Liang's face was as dark as water.
"I..." The man gritted his teeth, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "Actually, we came here to steal the spirit beast. We just saw its value and wanted to..."
call.
The Yingxin Candle began to sway crazily again.
Lin Beiyi frowned and said: "Why don't you just feed it to the golden retriever? It has been hungry for a day, and the one just now is probably not enough."
"No!" The man immediately begged, "My family is the ninth generation of a single generation. You can't kill me before I can stay as my heir!"
call.
The Yingxin Candle began to sway again.
"..." Lin Bei said speechlessly: "You even lied when you begged for mercy."
"I don't." The man felt embarrassed and said, "It's just that my neighbor has a son, which is actually my child. I usually don't think about it... This kind of thing can't support me in my old age... …”
call.
The Yingxin Candle began to sway again.
"Ah?" The man was shocked, and after thinking for a long time, his face changed color and he said, "Could it be that Widow Lin's child is also my son? I didn't expect this!"
Okay, you really deserve to die... Chu Liang cursed.
"You are really a role model for our generation." Lin Bei also said with emotion.
"I'll give you one more chance, don't waste my Yingxin Candle anymore." Chu Liang threatened, "If you lie again, I'll feed you to the golden retriever immediately."
"I..." The man murmured for a while, then said dejectedly: "Okay."
Only then did he begin to tell the truth.
It turned out that he and the dead man were both rogues in Yanbo City. They kicked in widows' doors, dug up graves, and tried to make money.
Earlier, a richly dressed old man came to them and asked them to help steal a spiritual beast.
Although they are brave, they don't dare to take this kind of job. It was the old man who gave him a lot of money, and said that half of it would be left after the work was completed, and took out a brocade box.
They said that as long as they untied the Golden Retriever's chain and opened the box, the Golden Retriever would follow them obediently.
The money and silk moved people's hearts, and what he said seemed to be easy, so the two of them agreed and came quietly to find it at night. When the chain was untied, the golden retriever was really not aggressive, after all, it didn't feel any hostility.
But just after the rogue opened the brocade box, a white light suddenly popped out, like a beast's head, and he bit the companion's head off! Then the white light dissipated, leaving a huge hole!
Only then did the golden retriever roar!
After attracting everyone, he naturally did not dare to say that he was here to steal the spirit beast, and he deliberately wanted to extort some money, so he directly claimed that the golden retriever had bitten his companion to death.
The Yingxin Candle is stable and motionless.
"I see……"
Chu Liang sighed deeply when he heard this, it was clear that someone wanted to plot to harm him. That person must have calculated that these rogues would frame the Golden Retriever if his companions died, so he implemented this poisonous plan.
He quickly blew out the flame of the Yingxin Candle. After burning it for a long time, the already half candle was even worse.
Let’s not mention the people behind this, we must at least get through the government first. Even if he is a member of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it is not a trivial matter to allow spiritual beasts to kill people. Now that he knows the truth, he feels relieved.
…
When he pushed the door open and went out, he saw the tall and honest figure of the golden retriever.
Just now he asked the big head to watch the door, and it was indeed guarding the door conscientiously. I have to say, he is a good housekeeper.
As for the people from the government, it turned out that they had arrived a long time ago.
The case of monsters eating humans was a major case. A group of officers and soldiers with martial arts skills came after hearing the news. These should be soldiers guarding the city gate, so they came so quickly.
It's just that when they saw the fifth-level golden fur, they were a little frightened. A group of people surrounded him and didn't dare to step forward.
A big city like Yanbo City will not have a few experts sitting in charge, and they are probably waiting.
Chu Liang smiled and stepped forward: "Everyone, the matter has been clarified. These two people were used by traitors to frame our spiritual beasts. This human life lawsuit has nothing to do with us."
But even though he said this, no one looked relaxed.
You just tied the victim like that and took him into the room with candles and whips for a long time. He changed his story when he came out... This seems like a threat no matter how you look at it, right?
"Don't make any move, wait until General Lang and the two adults in charge of the city arrive, and you will make your own decision on the inside story!" An officer and soldier who looked like a squad leader stood up and shouted emphatically.
The Yu Dynasty has always treated cultivators and evil spirits in this way, because no matter how many cultivators the court supports, it will not be enough to spread them out in every city.
They can only deal with such cases later.
That is to say, we will send the main manpower to deal with the matter after it happens, and we will be extremely strict when pursuing the matter. Due to the reality of the world, this is the most a court can do.
I can't save your life, but I will do my best to help you get revenge. Only in this way can we deter those evil spirits with evil intentions.
General Lang is the official position of the military general who guards Yanbo City, while the city supervisor is a civilian official. They are usually Confucian and Taoist practitioners who came from several major academies.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, there was a howling wind in the distance.
Civil and military officials came hand in hand.
"Who dares to cause trouble outside Yanbo City!"
With a roar, a rough man in armor fell to the ground hard, with sword-shaped eyebrows ringing his eyes, he looked extremely brave.
"Golden retriever?"
The other one was a thin middle-aged man wearing a scribe's robe, with a white face and a slight beard. He recognized the golden fur at first sight, and his expression immediately became serious.
The two of them are a fifth-level warrior and a fifth-level Confucian cultivator respectively. They should be the highest combat power guarding Yanbo City. If someone's cultivation level is higher, he will have to be transferred to Fucheng or Yudu City.
With the strength of the two of them, it would not be easy to capture a fleeing fifth-level spiritual beast.
"Two adults! Please listen to me!" Chu Liang immediately shouted loudly, first calming them down, and then repeating what he just said.
"Is that so?" Na Langjiang frowned, "What do you think, Mr. Du?"
The city supervisor looked around and said: "It's not difficult to verify whether what he said is a lie. The resentment of the deceased has not been dissipated. Just see if the resentment is attached to this spiritual beast. .”
"Then it's up to you to cast a spell. A rough guy like me doesn't understand this." Lang Jiang chuckled.
"Leave it to me. Martial arts and Confucianism each have their own strengths. Li Lang is famous for his bravery and strategy in the army, and he is not a rough guy." The city supervisor surnamed Du said politely, and then praised him in return.
"No, no, no." Li Langjiang shook his head, "I'm very thick."
"..." Du Jiancheng pursed his lips and seemed a little speechless. He turned back and started to perform the formula with his fingers, and then pressed lightly on the ground.
Bang——
A gust of wind swept across like ripples and soon enveloped the entire inn. And the wisps of divine soul aura are gathering from all directions little by little.
Chu Liang could tell that he was gathering the scattered souls of the deceased. This move was vaguely similar to the technique of calling people by name that Shang Shuwen had used, but it only targeted the souls.
Seeing that the resentful souls of the deceased were gathering together, but none of them were stained on Jin Maoyan's body, Du Jiancheng's expression gradually relaxed.
Most of the young people who can afford to raise a golden-haired dog are either a disciple of some immortal sect or a disciple of that aristocratic family. No matter which one they are, it is quite a troublesome existence for them. If it is found out that Jin Maojun is the murderer, they will definitely have to deal with each other, which will inevitably lead to some trouble.
If Jin Maohuan's innocence is proven at this moment, they can relax a little.
Thinking of this, he asked Chu Liang and Lin Bei: "Which immortal sect are you disciples of?"
"The two of us are disciples of Shushan." Chu Liang replied, "We have always taken it as our duty to kill demons and uphold justice."
"Shu Mountain?" Du Jiancheng suddenly said: "Shang Shuwen, the master of Yunyao Peak in Shu Mountain, was my classmate and senior brother. Do you know him?"
"Yeah." Chu Liang's face immediately showed a look of surprise, "It turns out, sir, you are a classmate of Uncle Shang... I have the best relationship with him!"
