Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 276
At night, the port city wharf where the Danshui tributary is rushing, although it is still illuminated by the lampstands on the shore, with various boat lights, fishing lights, and people coming and going, it still maintains a relatively lively and bustling scene.But there is a corner of it that is deliberately left dark; it is the warehouse where violent deaths occurred during the day.

And in the warehouse shrouded in darkness, although the tragic scene with corpses lying on the pillow has been preliminarily cleaned up; there is only an empty place, and an old man curled up uncomfortable in a corner with a lantern in his hands, eating wine and vegetables. The old man who made himself drunk.

However, it didn't take long for the corner where the old man was to hear a snoring sound with a strong nasal sound, and the wind lamp, which was not taken care of and looked after, also gradually dimmed amidst the snoring sound after another; until he struggled again and again Afterwards, the bright lights were still fading in the darkness.

And as this piece of warehouse that no one approached was shrouded in the darkness where the moon shadow disappeared, it didn't take long; suddenly on the edge of the empty building, a bright green light like a will-o'-the-wisp lit up; , several figures suddenly appeared in the building.

And these green lights like will-o'-the-wisps are surprisingly emitted quietly by the cat's-eye-like beads in their hands.This kind of cold light source without an open flame looks extremely blurry and dim from a distance, but it just illuminates the several squares of ground in front of him.

Therefore, the old man who was snoring loudly was not even woken up; these figures were allowed to search the empty yard on tiptoe, inch by inch; The soil is all received in small bags.

Some people gently scraped off the wooden beads and powder left on the wall, or took out measuring instruments such as slender soft rulers.They are so methodical and surprisingly familiar.Until the snoring and salivating old man moved.

In an instant, a thin rope was suddenly thrown from the darkness, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and suddenly wrapped around his neck from behind; it woke up the unconscious old man; but he was so tightly strangled that he couldn't speak I can only dance with my throat crackling...

The next moment, the gurgling sound of the trachea that was about to be strangled turned into a hasty grunt and scream; it also shocked those figures who were searching and probing in all directions, stopped their movements and quickly gathered together.And following the husband who suddenly broke free from the shackles, there was a series of sounds of rolling to the ground;
A pair of severed hands holding the lasso tightly also fell from above his head, and fell bloody in front of the frightened old man; once again he was so startled that he only had time to yell: "Ah, come here, come on!" There is a ghost..." and then passed out again as if frightened and overwhelmed.

However, even this half-cry was like some kind of prelude; in an instant, there was a shocking wave among those uninvited guests.And without hesitation, he dropped all the burdens in his hands, took up the swords and short soldiers that he carried with him, and rushed out towards the place he came and went in one go.

In an instant, they were greeted by dazzling and dazzling lights; and the companions who were watching the wind and sentry on the wall, and the cold corpses that had been killed at some time; and the rapid arrows that shot through the corpses.It was like a sudden gust of rain and wind, sweeping them back head-on.

And amidst the unprepared, one after another screams, only a small group of people were wounded and fled back to the empty building.At this time, the gate of the warehouse yard also opened suddenly, and a group of soldiers with license plates grabbing knives and guns on their shoulders rushed in with a bang.

I saw them facing the hidden weapons such as throwing knives and throwing edges sporadically flitting out of the darkness inside, and they were struck aggressively.In a blink of an eye, the inner building where the remaining intruders were hiding was surrounded by a watertight situation.And there are even more archers standing on high places such as walls and roofs.

The arrowheads they slanted upwards were even covered with oil-stained inflammables, which seemed to be a resolute attitude to burn the enemy in front of them at all costs.At this time, there was an unhurried voice, which suddenly sounded from the highest point of the opposite roof:

"I knew you would come here! After spending so much time escaping here, how could there be no one to respond? That's why in the daytime, I arranged a good show for you hidden eyeliners... "

However, the few remaining people hiding in the shadows of the building did not respond when they heard the words; instead, they exchanged face to face, their eyes full of determination; they suddenly nodded in unison, and took out A thin iron pipe was stabbed at the vital point of the neck without hesitation.

The next moment, screaming and ghostly screams erupted from inside one after another; facing the rain of rockets that suddenly shot out one after another from the wall and the roof, several figures with naked gray skin, cracked claws and long claws rushed out. The monster is also some kind of ghost that Jiang Tian is familiar with.

Except for the two at the head, who were instinctively focused on fire, and were shot backward one after another, struggling and burning arrow stacks; the other three flew out quietly against the base of the wall, and shot through sporadic rockets. At this time, it suddenly stepped on the wall and cracked several pieces, and flew straight up in an instant.

In an instant, it went up and down, passed the array of sergeants in the uproar, and the heads of most of the archers on the wall; and was about to stretch out and fly out of the encirclement, falling into the bank of Danshui, a large expanse of weeds Qianqian In the dark.However, Sudden Regeneration...

Seeing the three ghost men who were about to jump out of the encirclement, they suddenly let out a shrill scream in the air, and the bottom of the legs suddenly broke out of thin air, and immediately lost the tendency to move forward, and sprayed a large amount of blood and internal organs, like Like a plumb weight, it fell straight onto the wall and into the crowd.

At this time, Jiang Tian, ​​who was standing on the roof, withdrew his pretentious throwing gesture, and said to the Shangluo county magistrate who was standing beside him tremblingly, but was dumbfounded on the spot: "It's okay, this is just a trivial skill that can't be put on the table. , just as a means of self-defense."

And at the bottom, Li Huan and others who came out more and more, who were already familiar with the road, would only have half of their bodies left, and they fell down again, but they were still able to drag the remaining organs, and the three ghosts were struggling on the ground. People smashed and chopped minions, and controlled them with restraints.

Just after these soldiers who had been summoned nearby to help in the battle were amazed or had a lot of discussion, another four Deng Atu, one of the guards/servants directly under him, brought people to report: "Officer, you stole The suspects who reported to the county government have all been arrested, a total of three people."

"In addition to a subordinate of Zhang County Lieutenant and a follower of Song Xiancheng," he glanced at the county magistrate with a face full of panic, "there is also the local parent officer... ...a personal servant."

"..." The magistrate of Shangluo couldn't help but his eyes darkened when he heard the words, but as if he was grasping a life-saving straw, he couldn't help but knelt down on the roof full of potholes on the spot, begging: "Shangxian clearly distinguishes , Shang Xian clearly discerned, but the lower officials have cooperated as always, and there is nothing..."

"I know that Mr. Zheng Xianzun has been with me all the time, and he might not have had the opportunity to go out to report the news, otherwise, there would not be such a good show of catching a turtle in a urn." Jiang Tian smiled lightly, and dragged him up. : "However, it is a real crime to judge the person by your side unknown."

"Thank you, Shangguan, for your kindness, and thank you, Shangguan, for your understanding." Hearing this, Shangluo county magistrate couldn't help but sweat profusely as if he was in a desperate situation; It's just a small mistake, and there is still a chance to redeem his official career and future.

Then he thought about the possible end of the two colleagues, Zhang Xianwei, who had been escorted to Beijing, and Song Xiancheng, who was still waiting to be arrested; he couldn't help but bowed to his heart and said: "But please go ahead and order, The lower officials will naturally go through fire and water, trying their best to serve..."

"That's not necessary, it's just that you need to pay more attention to the aftermath." Jiang Tian pointedly said: "For example, in the warehouse during the day, those husbands and servants who died because of the murderer's desperation and spread , it is better to give some compensation and compensation appropriately."

"Shangxian is really kind-hearted, and the next official should live up to expectations and do his best to handle it." Hearing this condition, magistrate Zheng couldn't help feeling relieved again, but he tried again: "I must win those two How should I deal with it after going home?"

"I don't care about it, as long as you can use it appropriately. I'm not a kind-hearted person, but I just do my best for the inevitable collateral damage." Jiang Tian smiled again: " Then, let’s just wait for the news from the other channel.”

At this time, there was another commotion in the distant port city.Then a medium-sized river boat that was originally moored in the inner harbor city suddenly pulled out its anchor and broke away from the voyage.

"So, you startle the snake by beating the grass, and startled more snakes, insects, rats and ants." Jiang Tian couldn't help smiling when he saw this, and then said to the left and right: "Look at the scene, I'll come as soon as I go." Then he was in the crowd The local military officials, in disbelief and stunned, flew farther and farther away.

Half a sound later, the turmoil in the harbor city had calmed down; and the fleeing ship that was going down the river suddenly slowed down and stopped; He started to crash crookedly on the near-shore river beach.

Then, Jiang Tian, ​​who didn't even get wet at one corner, slowly jumped from the stranded boat to the shore, holding the rich man who had passed out in his hand; facing Li Huan who had chased him to the shore The others said: "Sure enough, they are here to transport and meet these people..."

Immediately afterwards, a little flame lit up in the direction of Shangluo City in the distance; then it turned into a number of horses galloping forward with a lantern hanging on them; Wang Guoda, one of the four servants on the horse, also faced Jiang Tian Out of breath, he shouted loudly: "I met you, indeed someone robbed the prisoner."

　Thank you for your concern and support. In fact, there is a root cause for the fact that there are many ghosts. With the deepening of the protagonist's involvement, there will naturally be an answer.
