Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 53 Yin Yang Puppet

Xu Zhiqiong had known for a long time that it was not Qu Jinshan's body lying on the ground.

The corpse had no horns on its head, but the horns on Qu Jinshan's head were about an inch long. Unless the judge killed Qu Jinshan, no one could take off his horns.

But the judge will not kill Qu Jinshan. Qu Jinshan's horns are less than two inches, and his crimes are insufficient. If the judge kills him, he will be punished.

But what Xu Zhiqiong didn't expect was that what was lying on the ground was not a corpse at all.

He didn't expect that Qu Jinshan was a yin and yang cultivator.

Tong Qingqiu is also a yin and yang cultivator. Xu Zhiqiong has seen the dummy made by Tong Qingqiu. It can barely be seen at night, but if you look carefully, you can see the flaws.

But the corpse lying on the ground had no flaws, and even the blood and brains that flowed out had a fishy smell.

Seeing Qu Jinshan coming in front of the crowd, everyone was dumbfounded, and an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs couldn't help shouting out: "Is this a human being, or a ghost!"

Qu Jinshan sneered, looked at his servant Fan Baocai and said, "You say I'm a human or a ghost?"

Fan Baocai quickly hid behind Zhou Kairong, tremblingly said: "I don't know, no, I don't know, you are a demon..."

Qu Jinshan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm that demon who can't be beaten to death!"

Wu Xu also laughed, and Xu Zhiqiong held up a lantern, admiring everyone's expressions.

The officials of the official department, at the moment, looked like they were constipated, with an indescribable pain and embarrassment.

They were filled with righteous indignation just now, wishing they could drown the yamen in charge of lamps with saliva.

Now the saliva star is still hanging on their lips, but they don't know what to say.

"This, this, but, strange, really strange..."

"Hey, what's going on?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Kairong. Judging from their expressions, Zhou Kairong had the most severe constipation.

It was he who designed to frame Qu Jinshan, but he did not expect that Qu Jinshan was still alive.

This means that everything he has done will be ruined.

Assaulting Lantern Lang is a capital crime, and no matter whether it is an official or a civilian, as long as the evidence of the crime is proven, it is impossible to escape death.

Zhou Kairong, whose life was hanging by a thread, suddenly turned around and asked Fan Baocai, "Did you fall under his spell?"

Fan Baocai was also clever enough, he was only stunned for a moment, then nodded his head desperately and said: "Yes, I have fallen into his sorcery."

Zhou Kairong continued to guide: "This monster asked you to bring him to the backyard and kill Cui Ling in front of you, is that true?"

Fan Baocai nodded continuously and said: "It's absolutely true, this villain saw it with his own eyes!"

Zhou Kairong said again: "Fang Lao Wu in the hospital ran into this monster and killed him angrily. Unexpectedly, Fang Lao Wu actually killed a dead body because the monster used sorcery, is it true?"

"Yes! Yes!" Fan Baocai nodded his head, "What the master said is that I was deceived by this monster!"

Xu Zhiqiong secretly raised his middle finger, admiring Zhou Kairong.

Facts have proved that as long as the skin is thick enough, no matter how outrageous things are, they can be rounded back.

How long is this man's crime?
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't see it.

His cultivation base should be above the seventh rank, which is beyond the visible range of the pupil of crime karma.

Zhou Kairong looked at Wu Xu and said, "What else do you have to say?"

He designed to harm Qu Jinshan for two purposes.

One was to avenge his nephew. If it was not Qu Jinshan who left the banquet to go to the bathroom but Xu Zhiqiong, then Xu Zhiqiong would be dead now, and his nephew's revenge would be avenged.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiqiong followed Wu Xu all night, never leaving.

Zhou Kairong couldn't kill Xu Zhiqiong, but he didn't stop. He had another purpose, using a murder case to frame the Yamen.

As the law enforcement officer in charge of the Lantern Yamen, Lantern Lang was in the mansion of the Ministry of Officials, and he committed murder on the spur of the moment. This crime is enough to dismiss Wu Xu from his post, and Zhong Shen will also be implicated.

Although it wasn't Xu Zhiqiong who died, it was somewhat regrettable, but Zhou Kairong also felt bad for overthrowing Wu Xu and the Yamen in charge of lamps.

After Wu Xu was dismissed, no one would protect Xu Zhiqiong anymore. Killing a little white lamp man was like crushing an ant.

Unexpectedly, Qu Jinshan, who was captured as a scapegoat, was not an ordinary person. He not only escaped from death, but also found out the truth of the matter.

Zhou Kairong's situation is very dangerous, he has to hold on to one point, it was Qu Jinshan who killed the maid Cuiling, as long as this matter is confirmed, Wu Xu will not be able to escape the responsibility.

At the moment of life and death, Zhou Kairong was so courageous, he kept looking at Wu Xu.

Wu Xu also looked at Zhou Kairong, like looking at a pig struggling in boiling water.

After all, he is also a fifth-rank official, so he has no eyesight at all.

At this time, he still wants to bite Wu Xu back, can he bite?
Wu Xu asked: "Since it was your nursing home that killed my subordinate Lan Denglang, where is this nursing home named Fang Laowu now?"

Zhou Kairong pointed at Qu Jinshan and shouted: "I should ask you! You shameless monster! You were afraid that the matter would be exposed, but you killed Fang Laowu to silence the truth!"

Qu Jinshan laughed loudly and said: "This is wronging me, Fang Lao Wu is still alive, I will take you to see him now."

"You are talking nonsense!" Fan Baocai shouted, "Where is there anything, how can there be, how can it be so easy to find..."

Fan Baocai's voice became smaller and smaller. He was frightened, his mood was not stable, and he accidentally said something wrong just now.

He wanted to say that there was no such thing as Fang Laowu.

Xu Zhiqiong also suspected that there was no such person as Fang Lao Wu in Zhou Kairong's mansion!
But Qu Jinshan said yes, and he knew where this person was.

"Everyone, follow me!" Qu Jinshan led the crowd to the front yard, walked to the door of the latrine, and said to the servant Fan Baocai, "Fang Lao Wu is inside, go and invite him out!"

Fan Baocai turned pale, shook his head again and again and said, "I, I won't go..."

Qu Jinshan pretended to be surprised: "Isn't it just a toilet? What are you afraid of?"

"No, no, not going, just not going..."

Wu Xu said to Qu Jinshan: "It seems that this servant is so frightened by you that he doesn't even dare to go to the toilet. Zhou Langzhong, do you dare to go?"

Zhou Kairong's lips and cheeks trembled, he couldn't hold back any longer: "I, why should I go to the toilet?"

Wu Xu smiled and said, "Go to your nursing home, don't you say he is a loyal servant? Don't you say you want to treat him like a family member?"

After Wu Xu said that, he kicked the latrine open, and Qu Jinshan kicked lightly in the nearby flowers.

This kick seemed random, but it actually touched the organ precisely.

On the beam of the latrine, a two-foot-long iron pestle suddenly fell and hung upside down on the latrine.

If someone is squatting in the pit at this time, squatting a little forward, the back of the head will be pierced, and squatting a little backward, the top of the head will be pierced.

The dummy "Qu Jinshan" was standing with his head bowed, so the back of his head was also pierced.

The blood on the tip of the iron pestle was still wet, it was the blood of the fake "Qu Jinshan".

Qu Jinshan pointed to his servant Fan Baocai and said: "This guy brought me to this latrine, and I felt a little strange when I came in. This latrine has a thick wall and is quite well-crafted, but ordinary people can't see it.

After I closed the door, I heard the sound of a mechanism in the wall. Thanks to the old man's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he called the double out at a critical moment, but he blocked the catastrophe for the old man! "

While speaking, Qu Jinshan took out a jade tablet and rubbed it twice in his hands, and an old man who looked exactly like Qu Jinshan appeared beside him.

Everyone exclaimed repeatedly, Qu Jinshan laughed and said: "Don't be surprised, everyone, this is not a human being, but a yin and yang puppet that I have used for many years."

I don't know what this puppet is made of, no matter the texture or touch, it is the same as a real person.

He turned the puppet around, and there was still a bloody hole on the back of the puppet's head. Qu Jinshan continued: "Everyone, look carefully, this scar is left by this iron pestle, and this iron pestle is the old man of the Zhou Family Nursing Hospital." five!"

Everyone turned pale with shock, Zhou Kairong said angrily: "Old man, don't spit blood on people, this mechanism was installed by you, and you intend to frame this official!"

Qu Jinshan said with a smile: "This old man is absolutely not saying anything false. This mechanism looks simple, but it is powerful and has hidden means. If you want to deploy this kind of mechanism, even a Mohist master of the fifth rank will take at least an hour. If you don't believe me, You can ask the people from the penance workshop to test it."

Zhou Kairong said: "I don't know where this mechanism came from, Fan Baocai, but did you bring this monster to the toilet in the front yard?"

Fan Baocai quickly responded: "I never took him to the toilet in the front yard, he said to go to the backyard."

Qu Jinshan sighed: "The matter has come to this point, why bother to argue? The scar on the puppet's head is no different from this iron pestle. The blood on the iron pestle's head is the ink in my puppet. This ink is specially made by me. Find it Those who come to the Yin Yang Division will know once they test it."

Zhou Kairong said: "It's purely a lie, your puppet is clearly lying in the backyard!"

Qu Jinshan pointed to Fan Baocai and said: "I'm going to ask him now, he triggered the mechanism, thought he killed me, pushed open the door, and left with the puppet on his shoulders, but he didn't know that I hid in the latrine by hiding. "

Fan Baocai knelt down and cried: "Master, he wronged me. I have never touched any puppet. I just took him to the backyard!"

Qu Jinshan said: "Zhiqiong, take a look at his clothes!"

Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward to take off Fan Baocai's clothes, Zhou Kairong shouted: "Who are you? You are so bold! How dare you touch my servant in my house?"

"Zhou Langzhong," Wu Xu said, "according to the Daxuan law, if a murder case occurs at night in Wang'an capital, it should be dealt with by the yamen who hold the lamp. Not your servant, but a suspect, if you obstruct Denglang, you will be punished with this thief!"

Zhou Kairong looked at Wu Xu, but didn't continue to look at each other, he lowered his head.

Xu Zhiqiong pulled Fan Baocai and looked at the top of his head.

The horns on his head are not short, are they two inches?

It seems that the difference is not too much.

It's useless to have two inches, Fan Bao is the important witness to bring down Zhou Kairong, and this person cannot be killed for the time being.

Xu Zhiqiong brought Fan Baocai to Qu Jinshan and tore off his clothes.

A large "bloodstain" was left on Zhou Kairong's shoulder, Qu Jinshan said: "This is also the ink in my puppet, this ink does not stick to the clothes, it only sticks to the flesh, seeps through the clothes, and stays on his body."

Wu Xu looked at Zhou Kairong, but Zhou Kairong didn't say a word.

The matter was exposed, and it was exposed to an irreparable situation.

Qu Jinshan continued: "You carried my puppet to the backyard, dragged out a female corpse from the secret passage next to the hut, and put it next to the puppet. I know how to open the secret passage. Do you want me to take you there?"

Fan Baocai knelt on the ground and shook into a ball.

Wu Xu looked at Fan Baocai and said, "Are you guilty of attacking and killing Lantern Lantern?"

Fan Baocai was speechless and just kowtowed to Wu Xu.

Wu Xu asked again: "Who ordered you to do this? Tell me, maybe you can save your life."

Fan Baocai was still speechless, Zhou Kairong said from the side: "This matter is all done by this evil servant, I don't know anything about it."

This was Zhou Kairong's last move, and he pushed everything on the servants.

Does this trick work?
Obviously not working.

All you need is to take Fan Baocai back to the Yamen in charge of the lantern and torture him severely. In less than one night, this fellow will confess completely.

Wu Xu said to Zhou Kairong: "I believe Zhou Langzhong is innocent, I will take the prisoner away."

Xu Zhiqiong picked up Fan Baocai and was about to lead him on the road when someone said, "Wu Qianhu, please stay."

The person who spoke was Liang Yuming, the son of Prince Huai.

Liang Yuming saluted Wu Xu: "Yuming's eyesight is clumsy, and she doesn't recognize traitors, so thousands of households are almost killed by traitors."

Wu Xu smiled, but didn't make a sound, Zhou Kairong said: "Why did your son say that? Zhou really didn't know..."

"Zhou Kairong, you are so shameless!" Liang Yuming gritted his teeth, pointed at Zhou Kairong and shouted, "You said you wanted to make peace with Wu Qianhu, but you used such treacherous schemes to frame Qianhu, I blinded myself and believed you, a traitor !"

"My son..." Zhou Kairong still wanted to defend himself.

"Shut up!" Liang Yuming was furious, "I will testify for Wu Qianhu about today's matter. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in court!"

A burst of coercion struck again.

Another domineering ninth-grade skill, the might of Dragon's Fury.

This skill is too domineering, everyone bowed their heads one after another, and Xu Zhiqiong could only follow suit.

He lowered his head and was still a little slower than others.

Just because he was slow, he saw a strange scene.

Something popped out from Liang Yuming's nails, but he didn't know what it was.

This thing just happened to fall on Fan Baocai.
