Chapter 59
In a coma, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain all over his body. Before Lu Jian could open his eyes, he suddenly heard someone say: "Don't move rashly." He spat out from his sleeve, half of which hung Lu Jian in the air, and the remaining silk pierced into the acupuncture points all over his body, turning white and crystal clear, pitch black and gloomy, like ink stains.

Seeing him wake up, Shen Zhouxu said slowly, "Are you awake?" Lu Jian was frightened, Fang wanted to struggle, Shen Zhouxu shook his head and said, "Don't move, you've been hit by the 'corpse demon' Huan Zhongque. Yin Corpse Sucks God's Palm', I am lucky to meet this old man, otherwise, you will lose your life as a slave."

Lu Jian was puzzled, staring at the black silk, and suddenly heard Shen Zhou smiled and said: "I use the 'Tian Luo' magical power to pierce the silk into your meridian, absorb the corpse poison of 'Yin Corpse Sucking God's Palm', these silks turn black , it is a sign of the corpse poison leaving the body."

The poison in Lu Jian's body weakened and he became conscious, but he felt like a hundred ants crawling into his body when the silkworm silk entered his body. At this moment, someone snorted angrily and said loudly: "Father, this person has ruined our important event. Why are you still doing it?" Do you want to save him?"

Lu Jian recognized Shen Xiu's voice, raised his eyes, and saw him standing beside Shen Zhouxu glaring.Shen Zhouxu said coldly: "We didn't see what is mysterious in this mansion, this person was injured by the 'demon corpse', he must have seen something that shouldn't be seen."

Lu Jian regained his composure, and found himself in the main hall of "Luo's Residence", he couldn't help being surprised and said, "Why are you here?" Shen Xiu angrily said, "I should be the one to ask that."

Shen Zhouxu smiled slightly, removed the silk and said: "I have long suspected that the Japanese pirates have set up lairs in Nanjing City, and they pretended to let Xiu'er be robbed. This group of spies. Unexpectedly, you followed Chen Zidan and frightened the snake. When I came in, the mansion was empty."

Lu Jian was very ashamed, but felt that his body was able to move, but he was still weak, so he got up and said: "Lu Jian is stupid, he missed your important matter, how to punish him is up to you."

Shen Zhouxu shook his head and said, "Tell me first, what did you see?" Lu Jian told what he had seen and heard, and everyone present did not change their expressions. Shen Zhouxu frowned and said, "I underestimated Xu Hai, unexpectedly he has the courage Well, how dare you personally take risks and attack Nanjing by surprise!"

Lu Jiandao: "Who is Mr. Wang who ambushed outside the city?" Shen Zhouxu sneered and said, "Who else? Of course it's Wang Zhi Wang Wufeng. Very well, everyone who should come has come, so I won't have to search all over the world. "

Yan Weigui, Xue Er, and Mo Yi led a group of soldiers into the hall, Yan Weigui said: "The house and nearby houses have been searched, and there is no one." Xue Er said: "The beams and pillars here I have heard of walls, floor stoves, there is no tunnel, and there is no mezzanine."

Shen Zhouxu frowned and said: "This group of thieves escaped so quickly." He had calculated everything, but he miscalculated twice overnight, quite disturbed, he pondered for a while, and then asked: "Mo Yi, who is this house?" of?"

Mo Yi said: "This house used to be the private residence of Shaoxing Wuju Chen Santai. Four years ago, it was sold to a salt merchant named Luo Chunian for 3000 taels of silver."

"Needless to say." Shen Zhouxu said coldly, "This Luo Chunian must be the pseudonym of the Japanese pirates." After pondering for a moment, he stretched his eyebrows, "Shen Xiu, you go to Yizhuang to find a corpse. Similar to this little brother Lu, then dye the face black and put it in the right place."

Shen Xiu asked strangely: "What is this for?" Shen Zhouxu said: "The first thing to do now is to make those Japanese pirates think that this little brother has been hit by the 'Yin Corpse Sucking God's Palm'. died."

Shen Xiu suddenly realized, and retreated as ordered.Shen Zhouxu said again: "Weigui, come here with your ears." Yan Weigui moved closer, Shen Zhouxu whispered in his ear for a moment, Yan Weigui nodded, spread his legs and left.

Shen Zhouxu shouted back all the soldiers, turned his head and smiled and said, "Lu Jian, you just said that you missed me, and I will punish you, right?" Lu Jian nodded.Shen Zhouxu said: "Very good, now I want you to change your clothes and change your appearance, and stay by my side."

Lu Jian had something to say first and could not refuse.Shen Zhou falsely ordered Xue Er to bring a set of clothes for Lu Jian, changed them for Lu Jian, and put a human skin mask on him, saying, "No matter what you see or hear, just pretend to be deaf and dumb, and wait until it's over." I broke Wang Zhi and Xu Hai, so I let you go naturally."

Lu Jian didn't know the secret, but he heard that he could break the pirates, so he let it go.Shen Zhouxu said again: "Push me back to the mansion." Xue Er stepped forward in response, grinned at Lu Jian, and pushed Shen Zhouxu out of the mansion.

The wind outside the house was clear and the sky was bright, and after a while, Yan Weigui hurried back, bowed and said: "Master's orders have been completed. It's just that there was a strange case in the Yingtian Mansion this morning, and I had to ask the master for help."

Shen Zhouxu said: "What kind of case is so rare that it can catch all the officials from Yingtian Mansion?" Yan Weigui said: "I heard that three corpses were hung on the flag bucket in the Yuema school grounds, and the flag bucket was ten feet away from the ground. I don't know how it was hung up. The officials of Yingtian Mansion couldn't remove the corpse, and they were afraid that the murderer would be too powerful, so they came to ask the master to come."

Shen Zhouxu nodded and said: "This case is indeed somewhat strange, you go to the mansion and call Ning'er." Yan Weigui turned around and left.

"It's too early." Shen Zhouxu smiled slightly, "Xue Er, Mo Yi, let's go to the school grounds to have a look." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and watched his mind, without saying a word, and walked for a long while, then suddenly heard Xue Er say: "Master, we are here Shen Zhou bluffed his eyes and looked around, the open space nearby was deserted, the yellow dust was not rising, and the attic in the distance was towering, holding up half a round of red sun, and an apricot-yellow banner was waving in the wind, with three corpses hanging on it.

When Lu Jian saw the corpse, he was secretly startled and wondered who in the world had the ability to climb to such a high place with a corpse that weighed hundreds of catties.At this time, a policeman came up to meet him, and an old policeman said: "At dawn this morning, the old soldier who fed the horses came out to cut hay and looked up to see the corpse. I hate that the villain is so incompetent that he cannot remove the corpse. Mr. Shen's men can There are so many people, and strange cases are repeatedly solved, there must be a way to take down the corpses, arrest the murderer and bring him to justice..."

While discussing, Yan Weigui and Ning Ning came hand in hand.Shen Zhouxu said: "Ning'er, you put the corpse down; Weigui catches the corpse, don't break it."

Ning Ning nodded, staring at the flag bucket, her eyes flickered with mysterious light, suddenly, a fire flashed on the flag bucket, the rope around the neck of the corpse was burnt, the corpses were originally tied in a string, one rope was cut off, and the three corpses fell like meteorites.

Yan Weigui saw it clearly, like the wind blowing up, he kicked his feet, jumped up three feet, picked up a corpse with his left hand, hooked his left leg around the flagpole, turned like a wheel, grabbed the second corpse with his right hand, and then Then the third body came before his eyes.The two corpses in Yan Weigui's hands moved left and right, clamped them, and then jumped to the ground, with a "crack", both feet sank to the ground for a few inches.

Lu Jian could feel his heart beating. The three corpses originally weighed hundreds of catties, and the weight of the three corpses was more than a thousand pounds.Yan Weigui not only grabbed them one by one, but also used his unparalleled foot strength to lead the force into the ground.If it were someone else, even if he could catch the corpse, his legs would be broken and his waist would be twisted when he landed.

Yan Weigui put down the body and stepped back, Shen Zhouxu said coldly: "Mo Yi, go and see, how did these three people die?" Mo Yi stepped forward to look at it, and replied: "The three of them don't look like much. The scars are slightly swollen lacrimal glands. There is a saying in the "Internal Classics": "Wei Da was caused by a heart attack, and he was good at crying." This shows that these three people died of heart paralysis, but the slaves couldn't see why the heart was paralyzed. However, I have seen these three people in official documents."

Pointing to a young man with handsome features and wearing a yellow shirt, he said, "This man's name is Zhu Sen, nicknamed 'Jade Hornet'. He is an abandoned disciple of the Kongtong Sect. He has picked countless flowers. He has also committed several major crimes in the capital. The Ministry of Criminal Justice offers a reward." 1000 taels of silver to arrest." He also pointed to a big man with a black face, "This man's name is Lu Zhongming, a Jiangxi giant bandit, who roams the mountains and forests and commits all kinds of crimes. Some officials were determined to capture him, but he led the crowd to break into the mansion and kill him. The Ministry of Punishment is now offering a reward of 2000 taels of silver for his capture."

Speaking of this, Mo Yi paused, stared at the corpse of the Taoist priest, and said hesitantly: "As for this Taoist priest, he has an unusual background. He was originally the eldest disciple of Tao Zhongwen, the national teacher of the dynasty, and his Taoist name was Yuan Yuanzi. According to the emperor's order, I came to the south of the Yangtze River to look for a beautiful girl, and I don't want to die here!" Hearing this, the arresters all turned pale.

Shen Zhouxu moved his car forward and inspected the corpse. All the arresters suddenly fell to their knees, kowtowed and shouted: "Mr. Shen, help me... Daoist Yuan Yuanzi is an imperial envoy. If the imperial envoy died, how shall I explain?"

Shen Zhouxu looked at the corpse, pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "These people have no injuries on the outside, but they died of heart paralysis. How to be paralyzed is hard to understand. As for this flagpole, it is about ten feet away from the ground. , who can send the corpse up? Therefore, there are only two possibilities."

The arresters hurriedly asked: "Which two possibilities?" Shen Zhouxu smiled and said: "The murderer is either a ghost or a god. Daoist Yuan Yuanzi is a high-ranking national teacher, and his family is a god. Kill him? So, most of these three people met ghosts, scared their hearts to paralyze and died, and then were sent to the height of the flagpole by ghosts."

The arresters were dazed at first, but then they realized that Shen Zhouxu's words were just teaching him how to fabricate stories and perfunctory the court.This matter is inconceivable, if it is said that ghosts are worshiped, it is more appropriate.Today's emperor is good at ghosts and gods, maybe it can be perfunctory to say so.Everyone looked at each other and changed their words one after another, saying that ghosts killed people.

Shen Zhouxu smiled and pushed the cart out of the school grounds. Ning Ning couldn't help asking: "Master, is it really a ghost?" Seeing her uneasy expression, Shen Zhouxu smiled and said: "Silly girl, I'm lying to you. Do you believe it too?"

"So there are no ghosts?" Ning Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Who killed these three big villains?" Shen Zhouxu waved his hand, and suddenly said: "If you haven't returned, go to the wine shop in the city to have a look. If you have any strange talk, report it to me quickly." Yan Weigui promised and left in a hurry.

Not long after, he rushed back quickly, and said hurriedly: "Last night, there were people in the 'Yinfeng Pavilion' by the Xuanwu Lake who drank all night, and now they are fighting and making trouble."

Shen Zhouxu laughed dumbly, nodded and said: "Okay, you push me over!"

A group of people came to Yinfeng Pavilion, the attic was facing the lake, there was a wave of light, a few rays of morning glow, and a few swallows flew across the water, whispering and circling endlessly.

As soon as he arrived at the pavilion, there was a sudden loud noise, the window of Yinfeng Pavilion was broken, and a person fell down.The man turned a somersault and pushed down the bamboo stick in his hand, but he forgot about the clear water of the lake below. With a "crash", he and the stick fell into the water, splashing white waves a few feet high.

I just heard a heroic voice from the attic laughing: "Wing Laogui, your tricks are not bad!"

The man in the lake climbed up the shore wetly, very embarrassed, Lu Jian recognized that this was the "golden turtle" winning the city, he was surprised and funny, thinking how the old fox got so powerful, how did he end up in this situation.

Ying Wancheng's face flushed red, and he yelled sharply: "Your surname is Yu, I'm cleaning up the house in Dongdao, why are you biting mice and meddling in your own business?"

"Didn't you say that?" The man laughed, "Your enemy on the East Island is my friend; your friend on the East Island is my enemy. Come on, little brother, don't worry about them. Someone said it well "Heaven and earth are the reverse journey of all things; time and time are the passers-by of a hundred generations. But life is like a dream, how much is it for joy?" The sky and the earth are as big as wine. After drinking this bowl, let's talk about other things."

"Brother Yu speaks highly." Another person interjected, "There are also people who say it well: 'When the sun is high and the moon is high, the wine is of the highest quality. It was Gu Zhen.

Brother Yu said with a smile: "The 'someone' I mentioned is very famous, as is Li Taibai, the poet fairy. Who is the 'someone' you are talking about?"

"It's not someone else." Gu Zhen laughed, "It's the mere little brother who can do everything except make pussies." The surname Yu slapped the table loudly and shouted, "Well said."

During the conversation between the two, there was no one around, Ying Wancheng was half ashamed and half angry, fell down, and wanted to scold again, Shen Zhouxu suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Ying Dao, I haven't seen you for many years, are you alright?"

Ying Wancheng looked back and said in a voiceless voice: "You...you..." He jumped up the stairs and shouted, "Miao girl, it's not good, the cripple is here..."

Brother Yu snorted, and said, "Senior brother Shen is here too?" Shen Zhouxu said with a smile: "Junior brother Yu's experience is earth-shattering. As soon as he arrived in Nanjing, he poked a hole in the sky first."

"You're talking about the bird thief Yuan Yuanzi?" The surnamed Yu laughed, as if he was quite proud: "He followed the order of the faint king and robbed the women of the people. My Zhao Zhao couldn't stand it, so I flicked his finger , Unexpectedly, this old boy was shot to death in spite of himself."

Shen Zhouxu said: "I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who can withstand the impact of your 'Thunder Emperor'?" A few strands of silk carelessly popped out, hooked to the rafters of the house, and with one jerk, like a bird throwing itself into a forest, The man drilled into the second floor with a chair.

He usually acted carelessly, but at this moment he showed supernatural powers, everyone upstairs and downstairs were surprised, and the robbers were even more afraid of making a mistake, so they hurried upstairs.Lu Jian fixed his eyes and saw Gu Zhen's window facing the lake, a hole in the wall beside him, where Ying Wancheng fell into the water, and a square table in front of him, with several wine jars scattered around.Opposite Gu Zhen, a big man was sitting firmly, with huge bones, a face with Chinese characters, flying sword eyebrows and a pair of tiger eyes, a gray cloth gown with two patches, and a pair of hemp-eared straw sandals under his feet, which were about to fall apart.

Lu Jian thought to himself: "Is this the 'Emperor Lei'?" While thinking, Yu Zhao drank a bowl of wine and glanced at him. Everyone felt like a sword piercing their chests, and felt a chill all their lives.

"Senior Brother Shen." Yu Zhao smiled slightly, "How about a bowl?"

"Junior brother Yu made fun of it." Shen Zhouxu said, "It's not that you don't know, I can only drink tea, not alcohol." Yu Zhao smiled contemptuously, filled up the wine and said, "Little brother, do it." Gu Zhen smiled , The two bowls collided and both drank.

Yu Zhao put the bowl away, and said with a smile: "Ying Lao Gui is always strong and strong, and she performed a bastard playing with water. I have never seen this little girl. Look at your basket of broken copper and iron. It is expected to be a new master of thousands of scales. It's a pity that Yu has never hit a woman in his life, so it's your luck."

Shi Miaomiao sat in a corner, bowed her head in meditation, then raised her head in response, not looking at Yu Zhao, but looking at Gu Zhen, her eyes sparkled with complex emotions.

Yu Zhao looked at Shi Miaomiao, then at Gu Zhen, suddenly realized something, laughed and said, "Is that so..." Smiling, he raised his hand, and slapped Gu Zhen on the shoulder, Shi Miaomiao's face changed drastically, and with a shake of his hand, Peng Yinyu shot at Yu Zhao.

With a wave of Yu Zhao's big hand, the silver rain filled the sky three feet away from him, and suddenly fell to the ground, pieces of silver scales pointed upwards, trembling endlessly.Shi Miaomiao's face changed, and she murmured, "'Zhou Liu Dian Jin'?"

Yu Zhao said with a smile: "Little girl, didn't your adults tell you? The technique of Thousand Scales depends entirely on the 'North Pole Celestial Magnetism'. This internal skill meets the 'Zhou Liudian Jin'. The [-]% off and [-]% off cancel each other out." Ha, I'll teach you another good thing." As he spoke, he pointed his index finger down, and the silver scales leaped up, one piece after another, forming a silvery soft sword, and with a "swipe", it stabbed at Shi Miaomiao's body. throat.

Shi Miaomiao retreated, kicked up a bench, and the silver sword swung vigorously, "chuck", breaking the bench in two.Shi Miaomiao's pretty face turned pale, she clasped the six silver carps, her eyes were clear, and she didn't turn her eyes away.

Suddenly Gu Zhen said with a smile: "Brother Yu, take a break, I respect this bowl for you." Holding the bowl in both hands, he drank it all in one go.Yu Zhao smiled and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say." With a wave of his hand, the silver swords scattered all over the place.

After drinking a bowl, Yu Zhao said with a smile: "Little girl, your skills are limited and you are afraid of accidentally hurting your little lover, so you are hesitant and weak in your moves. If you continue to fight, you will definitely lose."

Shi Miaomiao blushed, and said sharply, "Who... who is my little lover, you are talking nonsense..." Yu Zhao stared at her and smiled slightly, Shi Miaomiao met his eyes, as if all the secrets in his heart had been understood, he hesitated to speak for a while , ashamed.

Yu Zhao saw that she was half-ashamed and half-annoyed, coquettish, and felt funny, and said with a smile: "Little girl, you don't admit it in your mouth, but you write it clearly on your face. I'm surprised. You like little brother in your heart. Why do you have to make things difficult for him? Sigh, you girls, you are always being inconsistent with your appearance, so you are so unhappy." Speaking of this, he pondered for a while, and then smiled again, "Senior Brother Shen, I heard that you have been promoted, and you have issued an official post." Congratulations on your wealth." He said joy in his mouth, but there was a trace of disdain on his face.
