Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 45
"dong dong dong dong"

The sudden sound of drums surprised everyone in the dungeon.

Someone beat the drums?Is there someone beating drums in the middle of the night to complain?
This is really a wave of ups and downs, and Lin Xiu can only let the prison officials take care of Jia Yuntong, while he and the county captain hurried to the direction of the court.

The station shift clerk who had already woken up after the accident in the dungeon trotted over with a water and fire stick in his hand, arrived at the court first, and put on a posture, preparing to shout "mighty" for a while.

The county magistrate, the county lieutenant, Yang Pingzhong and other people who were already in the dungeon arrived later together.

But Lin Xiu and the others hadn't entered the courtroom yet, and a gatekeeper hurried over to stop them.

"My lord, don't be promoted yet, we haven't found the drummer yet!"

"What? Is it a slap in the face?"

At this moment, the expressions of the county lieutenant and Butou Yang beside him also changed drastically.

"No, go to the dungeon—"

The two reacted almost instantly, rushing back from whatever direction they came from. Yang Pingzhong sprinted like a [-]-meter sprint, and the county lieutenant even stretched out his foot to hook the longbow and quiver in the hand of a yamen servant next to him. Kicked, caught in the air and jumped to the eaves.

This reaction stunned the yamen servant who had just spoken, and he didn't even realize that it was caused by his own words.

Lin Xiu was also a little impatient on the side, but he knew that he couldn't make it through, and even if he went, it would only be a burden, so he suddenly felt upset.

"When you arrived, the drumming should not have stopped, so you didn't see anything?"

"Uh, my lord, the drumbeat stopped the moment we opened the door. When we went out, we only saw drumsticks rolling on the ground, and there was no one in the rest of the way. At that time, we were a little scared, thinking that there was another ghost coming." gone."

"That's right, my lord, although I didn't find the drummer, there are still a few people outside, my lord, please follow us out to have a look!"

"what?"

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment, a little confused by the two yamen servants, what do you mean there are no drummers but how many people are there outside?But he didn't care so much, he just followed the two of them to the door, and the two teams of office servants holding water and fire sticks in the courtroom followed closely beside them.

"My lord, these are the people!"

Seeing the situation outside the drum stand, Lin Xiu finally understood. It turned out that there were three unconscious people back to back on the side of the drum stand, and they were tied up with hemp rope for several times, and there was another sleeping person sitting next to the drum stand. The child was covered with a layer of clothes.

Obviously, none of these four people could be the drummers, so the drummers most likely wanted to attract people to discover these four people, maybe they didn't necessarily attack the dungeon all over the place?

After Lin Xiu wanted to understand this, he looked at the two gatekeepers.

"Why didn't you just say this?"

The yamen servant suddenly felt nervous, and answered carefully.

"Uh, this, I was just about to say something, but in the middle of what I said, the county captain and Catcher Yang rushed out."

Lin Xiu shook his head slightly.

"It's good for them to go and have a look, if they're not afraid of [-], just in case, by the way, have you checked these people?"

"I don't dare to investigate without authorization, and wait for the adults to make a decision."

Lin Xiu nodded and said to his side.

"Check it out and see if you can find anything."

"Yes!"

The remaining two policemen beside Lin Xiu immediately went to the three of them and began to check.

Because it was the county magistrate's drum, so there will be people from the county magistrate who came after hearing the drum, but it is a bit strange to see a large group of people around the gate instead of being promoted.

It happened that the old coach also came over, and after asking a few questions to the nearby yamen servants, he also hurried to get closer.

When Lin Xiu saw the old coach approaching, he immediately beamed with joy.

"Teacher Lu came just in time. Tonight, Jia Yuntong is suspected of being possessed by an evil spirit. At this moment, someone is beating drums in the middle of the night to lure us to check on these people. Quickly see if there is any difference in these people?"

"As ordered!"

As soon as the old coach arrived, the two police officers stepped aside a bit. After checking together, the three of them looked at each other, and they could all feel the shock on each other's faces.

It was the old coach who spoke in a voice that could be heard by everyone around him.

"These three people are strong and strong, they are not ordinary people, they should be people with martial arts skills, and their skills are not bad, but all of them were seriously injured, they should be controlled by other masters!"

After considering his words, the old coach looked at Lin Xiu and continued.

"My lord, the strength of the striker is beyond the imagination of the old man. His internal force pierced through the meridians of the three people, so that there were bruises on several big acupoints of the three people. This is a sign that the internal force was abolished by the external internal force. It only took an instant hit."

While speaking, the old coach pulled the clothes off one of them to expose his chest, and bloody red spots appeared on several acupoints on the line of Ren Meridian on his chest.

Although Lin Xiu couldn't read it, he sounded like he knew it was great, and the old coach subconsciously looked at the surrounding streets, as if there was a peerless master hidden in the darkness.

"My lord, here is a piece of paper with writing on it!"

A policeman suddenly found a piece of paper on the backs of the three people who were leaning against each other, and immediately pulled it out carefully and got up and handed it to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu took the note and browsed it left and right, and suddenly understood something, and looked frequently at the three people who were tied up on the ground and the child on the other side, but he was still not sure about the authenticity of the contents of the letter.

"If what is said in the letter is true, then these three people were sent down by righteous men in the Jianghu, and they have been paying attention to this case for a long time, knowing that these people are related to Jia Yuntong's case, and they also said that the place where the sorcerer warlock performed evil methods is outside the city. , this child may be Jia Yuntong's son!"

As he spoke, Lin Xiu handed the letter paper to the old coach who had stood up, and the latter also frowned after reading it, as he didn't understand the case handling.

"What do you think, my lord?"

"Let's go to the outside of the city first, and then I will talk about it. Yang Butou, quickly take people to the riverside outside the southwest of the city to find the place where the sorcerer and warlock practiced evil methods, uh"

Only then did Lin Xiu realize that Yang Pingzhong and others had gone to the dungeon, so he said to others.

"Go to the dungeon to see if there's anything wrong. If there's nothing wrong, let Catcher Yang come over first."

Just as he was talking, Yang Pingzhong brought a few policemen and two Yuezhou policemen over there, and he had already reported loudly when he got close.

"My lord, there is nothing going on in the dungeon. The county lieutenant is worried that something will happen here, so let me come here first!"

"Come on, come on, Catcher Yang came just in time!"

Lin Xiu quickly asked Yang Pingzhong to come over, explained the situation at the gate to him, and then handed him the letter. Yang Pingzhong frowned while listening and watching the situation of the three people at the gate.

"Yang Butou, quickly take people to the river outside the southwest of the city to find the place where the sorcerer and warlock practiced evil methods, and be careful in everything!"

"Yes!"

After Yang Pingzhong took the letter paper, he took another look at the three people on the ground, and then led a few Yuanjiang County policemen and yamen servants, as well as two-month-old officials from the prefecture, to search outside the city.

At this moment, beside the drum stand, the child who was sitting on the ground and sleeping on the drum stand was already wrapped in clothes by the old coach and picked up, and handed it to a short-bearded government servant beside him.

"This child may be Jia Yuntong's son, so take him away first so he can take care of him."

"Hey!"

When the yamen servant left with the child in his arms, the door became deserted all of a sudden, but there were still people from the county yamen who heard the drumbeat but didn't know what was going on, including the master whose clothes were still a little disheveled.

Lin Xiu stood at the gate of the yamen and let out a long sigh of relief. Although the situation was still unclear, it seemed that it was indeed in their favor.

If you are right, you will get more help if you are wrong, but if you are wrong, you will not be able to help. I hope that someone who is good will help!
-
On the other side, the officials who received the order searched all the way outside the city, looking for those darker places. Finally, someone found the broken altar behind a bush and hurriedly called others to go there.

"Boss Yang, here—"

Yang Pingzhong arrived immediately with a number of officials. After looking over the bushes, he first saw the exploded altar, followed by small flags and dead bodies on the ground.

Everything on the altar, as well as the mage in black who died for a while, all explained what was going on here not long ago at night.

Halfway through the inspection, someone shouted again not far away.

"Captain, there is still a corpse here!"

Someone found the dead body of that Jianghu man, Yang Pingzhong walked over again, and saw that the man's chest was sunken and bleeding from seven orifices, apparently killed by a powerful blow.

"Hiss, what a strong palm!"

The man who died had thick calluses on his tiger's mouth, and with the weapon that fell around him, he should be a good swordsman, so the martial arts of the person who made the shot was even more difficult. Thinking about the situation at the gate of the county government office, that person What kind of master the martyr is has filled everyone's minds with room for imagination.

Then everyone carefully checked the surroundings, combined with the situation of the three people outside the county government office and the corpses here, it was basically confirmed that there had been a one-sided fight here before, and the black-clothed mage had no obvious trauma on his body.

After discussing with the people in Yuezhou Yamen for a while, Catcher Yang came to a conclusion that was closest to the truth.

"At the moment when Jia Yuntong was bewitched by evil, it must have been this demon who was casting spells here, but he happened to be bumped into by a righteous man, or he had paid attention to these people long ago and chose this moment to act."

"The battle between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out, and it also messed up the demon's evil methods, causing him to die back, and the rest of the people were also subdued by the righteous men of the rivers and lakes! Then it makes sense that Jia Yuntong suddenly recovered in prison, because The person who performed the evil method died suddenly on the way."

It's just who is this righteous man in the rivers and lakes, and is he really just acting out of righteousness?Is it really just one person or a group?This case is getting more and more complicated!

Yang Pingzhong wasn't the only one who had this kind of thought, but tonight was considered lucky for the Yuanjiang County Government.

Everyone cleaned up the scene first, and after marking, packed up some items, and then took all the corpses and physical evidence back to the county government.

Again, this night is destined to be a busy night for the Yuanjiang county government. They have to sort out the evidence, heal the newly arrived prisoner, interrogate the people who wake up later, and comfort and take care of the child.

Even Yi Shuyuan was called to help later.
