Holy Bone

Chapter 894
The Zhang Hu brothers didn't need to be on duty tonight. They went home early after work to accompany their parents.

The eldest brother is called Zhang Hu, and the younger brother is called Zhang Bao.

Parents hope that the two brothers will be strong and strong, and they will be free from disease and disaster in this life.

The two brothers did not live up to their parents' expectations, because they were physically strong and strong since they were young. When they grew up, they both entered the yamen to find a job and eat the rice bowl of the official family.

Summer is sweltering, and people don't fall asleep so quickly. After dinner, they help their parents wash the dishes. The two brothers sit in the yard with their parents, eating watermelon to quench their thirst, and chatting about homework.

Seeing that there are watermelons to eat here, the neighbors in the neighborhood also gathered to eat watermelons, and it became lively and noisy, and everyone couldn't sleep because of the stuffy weather.

The two brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao worked in the yamen of Fucheng, Yuefeng was not bad, and they were more generous to the neighbors. Seeing those uncles and aunts who watched their brothers grow up as guests, the brothers also enthusiastically cut watermelons.

The folk curfew is the movement of people between Fangshi and Fangshi under the curfew, and there is no restriction on the door-to-door movement between neighbors.

When there are more people, there will be more topics to talk about, and everyone chats from all over the world.

"Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao, haven't you caught the wanted criminal who has caused a lot of trouble in the city recently?" the neighbor uncle, who was waving a cattail fan, asked curiously.

The elder brother Zhang Hu had a calm personality, and said with a polite smile: "Uncle Li, you know that before the case is solved, it is strictly forbidden to disclose the details of the case in the Yamen."

Uncle Li's words were immediately condemned by other neighbors, who said that he asked about everything because he wanted to kill Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao.Uncle Li hurriedly apologized to everyone, claiming that he was wrong, and that he also cared about the brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao. The sooner the wanted criminal is caught and the case is closed, the two brothers will not have to face danger.

Zhang Bao, who was more impatient, blurted out: "If you really encounter a wanted criminal, you won't need me and my brother to take action, but you will find Taoist Master Jin'an of the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs."

As soon as Zhang Bao finished speaking, he realized that it was going to be bad. Sure enough, the villagers all looked suspiciously, and then discussed in a hurry, saying that to catch a wanted criminal, why did he need to go to the Taoist chief to take action? Could it be that this wanted criminal is not ordinary people?

Zhang Hu glared at his younger brother, and then repeated the same sentence to the neighbors in the neighborhood: "Until the case is solved, the government regulations strictly prohibit the disclosure of the details of the case. I hope the fathers and villagers will understand."

Fortunately, these neighbors in the neighborhood are all talkative people, so they took the initiative to skip this topic, and then started to discuss another matter: "Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao, do you still know the Taoist Master Jin'an of the Five Viscera Taoist Temple?"

Seeing the two brothers nodding, the discussion among these uncles and aunts became louder and full of energy.

"I didn't expect Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao to know Taoist Master Jin'an. Tell your aunt about Taoist Master Jin'an. Is Taoist Master Jin'an really as magical as the teahouse storyteller said?"

Another neighbor was also interested and asked: "I can't tell you the details of the case. You can always tell our neighbors about the affairs of Taoist Jin'an. Is it true that Taoist Jin'an is not a local? Taoist Jin'an just arrived. Our Jiangzhou prefecture has solved strange cases. It is really the lucky star of our Jiangzhou prefecture, such as the case of a poisonous woman eating a child, the case of building a coffin to blame, and the case of animal trafficking and human trafficking. Which one is not a strange case? god man."

As Jin An became famous in Jiangzhou Mansion, many of his deeds in Jiangzhou Mansion had already been spread among the people, so these neighbors in the neighborhood were so keen to inquire about Jin An's detailed deeds.

"The cases you mentioned are all true. Daoist Jin'an is not only a god, he is very capable, he is a living god!" Zhang Bao, who was still impatient this time, rushed to speak, and he said with a look of admiration , After finishing speaking, he murmured in his heart again, if he hadn’t promised Master Jin’an to help abducted children who died in other places find their way home with exorcism, resurrect the dead with resurrection and interrogate wanted criminals, which one would it be? Many people would not believe the earth-shattering fairy spell.

Zhang Bao once again worships Jin'an from the bottom of his heart. He obviously has the ability to reach the sky, but hides in the world and does not seek fame and fortune.

"Then it's also true to say "The Case of Jin'an Taoist Priest Warming Wine and Breaking Liang Ji Tea Merchant's Wife's Nightmare Haunting Case" and "Jin'an Taoist Priest's Thatched Cottage Female Ghost Case"?" Uncle Li's eyes lit up, waving his cattail fan.

Zhang Hu: "?"

Zhang Bao: "?"

Zhang Bao is very serious about rectifying Jin'an's name: "These are fakes. They are lies made up by the wife of the Liangji tea merchant deliberately to gain the popularity of Taoist Jin'an. The purpose is to take the opportunity to hype her Liangji tea."

Uncle Li didn't believe it: "But there are many details in the book that are well-organized, and there are illustrations, it doesn't look like a fake."

Zhang Bao looked at Uncle Li speechlessly, who was struggling tenaciously with only a bunch of hair left on his head: "Uncle Li, are you sure you are reading serious books, not villain books?"

Ahem, Uncle Li blushed and said with embarrassment that I might have misremembered.

Everyone saw that Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao really knew Jin An, and they praised the two brothers for becoming more and more promising. Even a master of the world like the Taoist priest of Jin An knew each other, and then asked the two brothers to pick some real stories about Jin An to tell everyone. Say.

The two brothers couldn't evade the enthusiasm of the folks, so they selected a few details of the case that had not been released to the outside world to satisfy the folks.

After listening to the details of the case of poisonous women eating children, the case of building coffins to blame, and the case of animal production and human trafficking, everyone was still full of ideas. Someone mentioned the murder case of a grass-stage opera troupe half a month ago, and asked Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao to talk about it. Daoist Jin'an was also present at the scene, did he get the news in advance, and there are some strange cases to be solved?
Shi Zhiping, Bulaoshan and other clues were involved in that incident, and the brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao once again dismissed it on the grounds that the case had not yet been solved.

While chatting lively about Jin'an here, several screams of terror suddenly appeared, breaking the calm of the night.

Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao stood up subconsciously, and looked around with the vigilance of professional habits: "There is a situation! Where is the scream coming from?"

"Could it be that there was a murder?"

But the screaming only rang out once, and then it subsided, and the brothers had difficulty distinguishing their positions for a while.

Even the neighbors had different opinions. Some said it came from the west end, and some said it came from the east end. The scream came and disappeared suddenly, and no one could hear where it came from.

Just at this time, a few hurried figures appeared at the corner of the street, and the visitors were a few servants, who went straight to Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao's house in panic.

"Brother Zhang, our master is dead!" the servants yelled in panic.

Zhang Hu recognized that these servants were from the Yu Mansion in the same Fangshi. Seeing the terrified expressions of the servants, he was moved. He was afraid that the death of this person was a bit strange, so he asked in a deep voice, "How did Master Yu die?"

But those servants hesitated and refused to say anything, only saying that the housekeeper asked them to come and invite people.

Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao didn't have any extra nonsense, they went back to the house and took their sabers, told their parents to go to bed early and don't have to wait for their brothers tonight, and then left the house in a hurry with the servants of the Yu family.

"then."

On the way to Yufu with the servants of Yufu, Zhang Hu handed Zhang Bao a yellow talisman.

Zhang Bao was puzzled: "Brother, this time it was just a temporary accident at Master Yu's house, and you didn't go out to deal with the case. Why did you also bring the evil spirit talisman drawn by Daoist Chen?"

Zhang Hu replied calmly: "Be extra prepared, and be prepared."

As soon as the two brothers came to the Yu Mansion, they saw the chaos in the Yu Mansion, and the two brothers were received by the old housekeeper of the Yu Mansion.

What happened in the Yu Mansion tonight was a bit complicated, the old butler would not be able to explain clearly for a while, so he took Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao directly to the room where the incident happened.

Before entering the room, he first smelled a strong smell of blood.

There was blood all over the room, as if a person had been radiated with blood, the bedding on the bed was soaked in blood, and the scarlet color was particularly dazzling.

The old butler pointed under the quilt with trembling fingers.

Zhang Bao, the younger brother of the two brothers, acted the most reckless. Without even thinking about it, he used a scabbard to lift the quilt away. Under the quilt was a pile of bloody bones left after the flesh and blood had been eaten.

hiss!

Even though they had seen many murders, the two brothers still couldn't hold back their breath, and their backs felt cold.

The old butler was trembling with fear and talked about the reason of the incident——

Master Yu has just married a concubine recently, and he has been singing and dancing every night for several consecutive days. Tonight, Master Yu is still sharing the same room with the new concubine.When the servants passed by the room, they smelled an unusual smell of blood. They stood outside the door and yelled a few times, but no one responded. The servants hurriedly found the old housekeeper, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw the horrible bones on the bed.

Zhang Hu briefly inspected the bones, frowning: "The person who died was not Mr. Yu. The bones on the bed were thinner and belonged to women. The one who died should be Mr. Yu's new concubine. Moreover, the number of bones on the bed was not right. , according to the simple calculation of the arm bones, legs, and pelvis bones, there is only one skeleton, and there is no skeleton of Master Yu. Where did Master Yu go?"

The old housekeeper was startled: "Isn't our master the one who died?"

Following the change of the old housekeeper, he quickly said: "Not only is our master missing, there were two maids guarding the door, and those two maids are also missing."

Zhang Bao: "Brother, this skeleton seems to be missing a head."

"Have any of you touched the bones on the bed, why is the head missing?"

The old housekeeper turned pale with fright, and said that he had never seen such a miserable death in his whole life, how dare he touch it, after he asked his servants to cover them with quilts, he drove them all out of the room, and there was absolutely no one left before the two brothers came. People stepped into the room half a step.

The two brothers looked at each other solemnly.

Just when the two of them approached the bed and were about to carefully investigate the details of the deceased, suddenly, the evil spirit talisman they carried spontaneously ignited without fire.

"Brother, what's going on, could it be that Master Yu's case is also involved in another case?" Brother Zhang Bao was surprised and took out the evil spirit talisman that was still burning.

At the same time, he looked at his elder brother with admiration. Fortunately, his elder brother asked him to bring the evil spirit talisman painted by Chen Daochang in advance.

Zhang Hu frowned, and said solemnly: "The evil spirit talisman reacted, and Master Yu's matter is probably related to evil spirits. This matter is beyond the scope of our brothers' ability, so we can only trouble Master Jin'an and Daoist Chen again." .”

Just at this time, a servant ran to the old steward out of breath: "Steward, steward, two Taoist priests came outside the door, claiming to be from the Taoist temple of the five internal organs, one old Taoist surnamed Chen, one young Taoist surnamed Jin, asked , asked us...has anyone in the mansion been to a funeral recently?"

Hearing the words, Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao ran out of Yu Mansion in a hurry, and saw a familiar figure, with a happy expression on his face: "Daoist Jin'an, Daoist Chen, why are you here?"

The old Taoist who was holding the Luo Geng jade plate to locate the Yufu, heard a familiar voice, looked up and saw the two brothers Zhang Hu and Zhang Bao, and also showed a surprised expression: "Why are you brothers here?"
