Chapter 415 Tong Juren

Song Jiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "No problem! But there is one thing I want to say first, that kid is being abused by that evil spirit now, if you don't fish him out, you may not be able to get out."

"You don't have to worry about it... go back to where you should be right now." Meng Zhe said mercilessly.

Song Jiang nodded and said, "No problem... But if there is no master soul in this body, I will become the only master of this body."

Even though Meng Zhe didn't want to admit it, he knew that what the man said was right, no matter what, he had to return Song Jiang's soul to his place as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to suppress the person inside him, and Song Jiang might really be able to He was harmed by that unknown evil spirit.

At the same time that Meng Zhe was hesitating, Song Jiang was being pinned headlong into the water by that green-faced ghost. Although he is said to have no physical body now, I don’t know if it’s because all of this is in Liu Fang’s memory. Song Jiang could clearly feel the pain caused by drowning...

After several tosses, even Liu Fang, who was paralyzed on the ground in fright, couldn't stand it anymore, "It's almost done! Who are you two?!"

The green-faced ghost saw that Liu Fang, who had always been weak, was going to be tough for a while, so he dropped Song Jiang in his hand, walked straight up to him, and said to him with contempt, "Want to know who I am? You deserve..."

The courage that Liu Fang had accumulated just now dissipated in an instant, and Song Jiang, who was lying on the ground panting fiercely, said weakly after hearing what the green-faced ghost said, "Why...you...you took someone's body...but you didn't even have a name. Don’t you even dare to report it?! Thinking about it... it must have died a disgraceful death, right?”

The green-faced ghost didn't expect Song Jiang to be tortured like that by himself, and he still had the strength to fight for others, so he went over and kicked Song Jiang under a big tree on the bank, and then said coldly, "I want to know if my grandpa Who is it? It's simple! Come here and kowtow three times to your grandpa, and grandpa will tell you!"

Song Jiang knew that he was not an entity now, and no amount of damage would kill him, so he stood up with the help of the big tree, and said in the tone of the green-faced ghost just now, "You want me to kowtow to you?! You deserve it too!" ?!"

The green-faced ghost immediately became angry, and he came to Song Jiang in an instant, grabbed his hair and pressed him firmly to the ground, "Grandpa will let you know whether I am worthy or not today!"

But Song Jiang came up stubbornly, carrying it desperately, and refused to bow his head to say anything... Unexpectedly, the green-faced ghost was not angry when he saw it, but said happily, "Interesting... I haven't met such an interesting person like you for a long time, Grandpa I will fulfill you today, let you know who I am, Grandpa before you die?!"

After the green-faced ghost finished speaking, he pulled Song Jiang up on the ground, and then black air flashed in his eyes, and his consciousness with Song Jiang was instantly connected, allowing Song Jiang to see what happened when the green-faced ghost was still alive... …

The green-faced ghost was called Tong Helin before he was alive, and he was a well-known juren. In addition, he was handsome and talented, so no matter where he went, he was respected and looked up to by others... But no one thought of it However, Tong Juren, who has high aspirations and good conduct, will eventually become a nightmare that has lingered in the hearts of the local people for many years.

In the past years when human life was like nothing, it was quite normal to find a dead man outside the city or a drifter in the river. As long as there was no family member to report to the official, usually no one would investigate these things. the real cause of death.

Because even if it is investigated, it is nothing more than a beggar who died of starvation or a whore who threw water, so the government will not spend energy to investigate these things at all.

Unexpectedly, there was a severe drought one summer, and a deep pool on the outskirts of the city dried up to the bottom. As a result, people passing by found that the bottom of the pool was full of bones, and many dead people were hidden... If there were only one or two bones, it would be fine. If the people calmed down hastily, there would be no disturbances, but if the people on the shore were counted carefully, there were at least a dozen of them!

The news of Yetan's shocking corpse spread among the common people, causing panic for a while, and the news quickly reached the ears of the local county magistrate. Investigate the case and give the people an explanation.

The superiors have spoken, and the subordinates naturally have to follow suit, so several yamen servants and two foremen collected all the bones at the bottom of the pool. After inspection, it was found that most of these corpses were joints worn out, bones deformed, or limbs damaged. people with disabilities.

From this, Wu Zuo speculated that the vast majority of these people were beggars on the street, or refugees fleeing from disasters, in short, they were all poor people who no one cared about their lives... But because the autopsy technology at that time was limited, the It is difficult to determine the real cause of death with only bones left.

But one thing is certain, that is, these people were all killed by others, because a stone was tied to the feet of these corpses, and the reason for this was naturally not to let the corpses surface and be discovered.

Since this is an old case, the identity of the victim and the cause of death are unknown, and there is no one to report the case, so no matter how sensational it was at the time, it will be nothing in the end.

Unexpectedly, just when people were about to forget about this matter, a homeless man suddenly ran to the county government to report that he was almost killed after being tricked into returning home, and the other party kept accusing him of trying to kill him The person is Tong Helin, the Juren of this county.

At first, the county magistrate didn't believe the tramp's words, but he heard that he had a good nose and eyes, and said that there was another corpse in Tong Helin's house now, and if he hadn't broken free from the rope and ran away, he might have ended up in the same end ...In addition, everyone at this time all thought of the dozen or so nameless bones before, so the county magistrate immediately sent people to Tong Helin's house.

The yamen servants thought it was just a beggar's crazy talk at first, but when the group arrived at Tong Juren's house, they saw that he was drunk, and in the firewood room of Tong's house there was a huge A corpse whose heart and liver had been dug out...

With Chai Fang's body and the beggar's testimony, Tong Juren's crimes were immediately revealed, and when things got to this point, everyone looked at Tong Juren differently. He was no longer that virtuous and modest gentleman. Instead, he turned into a hideous murderer! !
Tong Juren learned that his crime had been exposed after waking up, and he neither admitted nor otherwise...he remained silent.Of course, the adults in charge of the trial thought that they had a lot of experience in dealing with prisoners like Tong Helin. In their view, a powerless literati like Tong Juren would be able to recruit anything as long as he was tortured for a while.
