Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 264 Occasionally
In fact, as soon as Jiang Tian's words fell, someone among the crowd of onlookers surrounded by him suddenly shouted; as if a nest had exploded on the spot, at least several figures flew out.However, at the next moment, he was forced back by Lin Jiulang with sharp eyesight and quick hands.

"It's nothing to do with anyone. They all knelt down with their heads in their hands, waiting for screening." They shouted in unison: while holding out their spears and knives, they rushed forward, and immediately fled one who couldn't dodge, and pierced their arms at the same time. And thighs, the blood gushing like a spring volleyed up.

And this bloody scene also shocked the besieged crowd on the spot, crying and shouting for their parents, hugging their heads and throwing themselves to the ground.Immediately, the few people who had fled back were exposed again; but this time they were greeted by a strong crossbow that was strung up and fired.

In the face of the crisis of life and death, the reactions of these people are also different; some use their hands and feet on the ground, and fly in the opposite direction even rolling and crawling; However, it was not faster than the speed of the crossbow arrow, and it was shot through immediately and fell to the ground.

Others hunched over, stepped on the human body on the ground without hesitation, turned their heads and jumped into the shallow river beach on the bank, and threw themselves into the water with all their might; The crossbows that were fired close together were strung together into candied haws...

But there was another person who let out an angry roar on the spot, and stretched out his hand like flying to open it one after another, and several crossbow arrows flew; then, before his outburst was exhausted, he was thrown head-on by short arrows. , was hit on the arm and lower abdomen; he was nailed to the ground straight on his back.

After half a sound, as the chaos subsided.A total of three corpses and one seriously injured survivor were presented to Jiang Tian.As for the one who jumped into the river, but was swept away by the rolling waves before swimming far, then he could only ask for luck.

"God has no eyes!" However, the only surviving man who was seriously injured stared at the county magistrate Pinglu dejectedly and said, "I let you, a dog official, escape this time by chance; but the blood debt of Brother Xishan, Even without me, someone will continue to settle with you!"

"You bastard! You bastard! What kind of bastard talk is this!" County Magistrate Zhao said, but he didn't care to avoid getting angry and said: "The matter of forming an association in a mountain shed and going down the mountain to become a naturalized person is originally the official's use of his future as a guarantee. You look for a place to resettle, but when you turn around, you all disappear, how dare you rely on me!"

"Dog officer, don't pretend to be stupid, isn't it because you secretly led troops up the mountain and killed several sheds of old and weak women and children?" The worker fought fiercely and roared: "Poor thing, their heads were all chopped off. , only the bare body that has been harmed before is left, didn't you kill the good and pretend to be meritorious?"

"How is this possible? You are too ignorant; you are from a literary class, not a military officer!" Zhao County Magistrate became more and more annoyed when he heard the words: "How can the power of beheading be compared with this official?" Under the rule, the performance appraisal of attracting more household registrations? Now you are falsely accusing me!"

"Impossible, you dog official, don't use tricky words to confuse right and wrong." The seriously injured man saw his breath weaken in the midst of his emotional struggle: "I only hate that the opportunity for revenge we have painstakingly prepared is disturbed by this accident ..." Then he passed out.

"I'm a low-ranking official, so I asked Shangxian to see such a shame." Afterwards, the weeping Magistrate Zhao turned his head and mourned to Jiang Tian who was watching: "Please also ask Shangxian to do my best for me." To be a witness; for future inquiries and detailed inquiries from above..."

"I'm only in charge of a county, and I usually drive some civilians and gangs; I don't have the ability and authority to mobilize troops to destroy mountains and search and kill." However, he continued to explain with a wry smile: "This I'm afraid it's a sudden disaster, and it's going to fall on the lower official."

"Magistrate Zhao, how many people in the Shanpeng do you rule here?" Jiang Tian was moved when he heard the words, and asked: "When did you start recruiting the Shanpeng? When something happened to them, and when did it happen?" gone."

"Returning to the words of the Shangxian, these people in the mountain sheds are not too many, and they are not too few; most of them are extra-legal people who are unwilling to obey taxes; Once again," County Magistrate Zhao sighed, "but in good times, they will come down the mountain again to beg for work."

"I'm also utilitarian, so I want to make a performance appraisal during my tenure, so that people can go up the mountain to persuade them to naturalize, so that the account books of the nationality can look better. But I don't want to get involved in this whole body of right and wrong; now These aliens died unexpectedly, and my tenure should come to an end."

"In the final analysis, this happened after the fall of the year before last, just because the river was dry, so people had to be recruited; but last year, when I sent people up the mountain to look for it, I reported that several settlements in the mountain sheds had been abandoned. ; Now it seems that those people did not answer truthfully!"

"Then do you think that there are those existences in your surroundings who have the ability and opportunity to do this kind of thing." Jiang Tian heard the words but didn't answer his words, and continued to ask calmly: " Have you considered similar suspects?"

"Shangxian... Shangxian, you are too embarrassing to be an official." The county magistrate Zhao's complexion suddenly collapsed, and he cupped his hands in a mournful voice: "I am just a small county official. I don’t dare to think about it if I guess; if not, let’s not talk about losing my official position, I’m afraid there will be a serious crime.”

"Okay, then let's look ahead for now." Jiang Tian also shook his head and retracted his shallow temptation: "Since these few people are all here for you, County Magistrate Zhao, that also means, The right ones I'm looking for are not among them; let's start with these people and try again."

However, it didn't take long for this expanded screening; Jiang Tian suddenly got up and went straight to the periphery, in front of a shed selling cheap tea; suddenly said to an old man holding a child, "I don't know , how do human organs taste?"

"..." The wrinkled, deaf old man squeezed out a flattering smile as if he had never heard of it: "The official is here, what do you want to drink, little old man, there is nothing good... "; the next moment the sword light flashed, and the arm he was holding the child suddenly fell to the ground.

"Ah..." In an instant, he let out an unbelievable scream: but in the next moment, he flew back suddenly and smashed into the household belongings behind the tea shed.When he stood up again, his figure was no longer slumped, and the skin at the joints was quickly broken, and he grew and swelled;
In a blink of an eye, it turned into a humanoid monster with bloody skin all over its body, and sharp claws and knuckles; almost with a stench, it turned back and swooped towards the river, but was scrambled to shoot out in the air In the arrow branch, there was a cry and rolled down and knocked down the tea shed.

Then, along with the rolled tarpaulin, a claw tip was torn out.More arrows were guided by this, and they were densely packed; another sergeant stepped forward with spears with great proficiency, and pierced the tarpaulin that was constantly struggling and shaking with fan-shaped intersecting.

However, apart from the splash of dirty blood from the first few stabs, the subsequent stabs all fell into the empty space; at the same time, on the other end of the tarpaulin, a figure that had shrunk a lot; It flew out suddenly; after a few ups and downs, it ran to the edge of the woods in a blink of an eye.

Then, his thigh suddenly burst into blood like flying, and he fell on the muddy ground with his roots broken in an instant, splashing a large and long bloodstain; it was Jiang Tian who shot secretly.Despite this, the opponent whose life is still tenacious can continue to climb into the woods with the only remaining arm.

This time, with a big net covering the head, the hooks embedded in the flesh wrapped it up; this monster who turned into an old man in a tea shed, was dying and stopped struggling.And the reminder in Jiang Tian's vision has also become "abnormal distortion (endangered)."

However, the monster that was carried back from the hook net also quickly shrank and shriveled in the dripping dirty blood; finally, it turned into a dying old man again; but, it was as bloody as a skinned monkey. On his body, strands of skin were still sticking together.

It looked scary and creepy.At this time, someone belatedly cried out in surprise: "This is not the Tian family's old man who has been selling tea here for many years..., what kind of monster is this? Look for it quickly, the Tian family's old man is here!" where."
