Under the night, a group of people formed a circle beside the road, whispering constantly.

These are the villagers nearby.

Inside, there were yamen runners and coroners who came, and of course there were also Fangzheng and a few others.

Four people from Yangzhai, plus Xiuxiu, and five of them died on the roadside. Zhang Chuwu's first reaction was to report to the official.

"Sentient beings have many enemies, but they are hard to resolve them. They form grudges for one lifetime, and will never stop retribution for three lifetimes. Now I preach the wonderful Dharma to relieve all grievances, and listen to them. The enemies will be dispersed and destroyed."

Xu Dayou, who took office as a coroner not long ago, was among them. He was holding a dark paper in his hand and muttering.

First, the mantra of relieving resentment, and then the mantra of rebirth.

"The Supreme Pardon will surpass your lonely soul; everything will be full of gratitude to all the ghosts."

"Those who have a head surpass, those who have no head live; guns and swords kill, dive and hang ropes."

"Die openly and secretly, die wrongly; creditors and enemies, begging their sons."

"Kneel in front of my platform, Yuan Ling shines; Zhan Ru left and became born in another place!"

"Yang Zhang, go!"

After saying that, he lit the dark paper and spread it all over the place, then he limped to the corpse to check the situation.

"What a grudge this is! He actually took such a ruthless move against an unarmed woman!"

Xiuxiu's body is unbearable to see it.

The already tortured body was ravaged again, and the expression on her face before she died was filled with endless fear.

I don’t know who it is, but it’s so cruel that it seems to be torture people.

"Why!"

After flipping through the body, Xu Dayou shook his head and stood up: "Take it back to the mortar room first and let Master Wu check it in detail."

"Brother Xu."

Fang Zheng came over and asked in a low voice: "Can you see anything?"

"You know, I've just entered the industry, what can I see?"

Xu Dayou lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "And, it's not the time for you to care about this now."

He signaled not far away: "Catcher Hong in the county government is not a good person."

There, several constables were packing up the bodies, and at the same time they were asking Zhang Chuwu and Xiaoliu.

Judging from the atmosphere, something seems wrong.

"It should be okay?"

Fang Zheng looked over and was worried: "Can we still find and report the case, can we still make mistakes?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Chuwu on the other side had already kneeled down with a thud.

"Sir, it's unfair!"

Zhang Chuwu shouted in a crying voice: "We just met by and we were not our business!"

Xiao Liu squatted aside, his eyes dazed and silent.

He has been like this for a long time, and he still cannot come back to his senses from Xiuxiu's death.

"Is it unsuspecting to have a good rest at home in the middle of the night? You ran to this wilderness and found a body. Isn't it suspicious?"

Captain Hong said with a gloomy face: "If you don't talk about anything else, you will be punished even if you go out of the city in violation of the rules!"

"Come, push them back!"

Fang Zheng's face turned pale.

"You don't have to worry."

Xu Dayou whispered to comfort her: "Five people died, this is not a trivial matter, and the county will definitely check it out in detail."

"Although I don't know much, I can see that the time when these people died is not as good as when you left the city."

"As long as there is a certificate, there is no problem."

"Hope so."

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly.

“Absolutely.”

Xu Dayou patted his shoulder, changed his subject and said, "Can you still do the job of working on the updates? You can get started in a few days."

“…”

Fang Zheng nodded silently: "Do."

…………

The prison is located on the east side of the county government, and is located in the wounded gate among the three evil gates. The five elements belong to the wood and the Zhen palace.

The Zhen hexagram is active, and it is easy to get hurt, which is suitable for detention of prisoners.

It is also located underground, so the evil spirits gather.

If an ordinary person enters, his vitality will be reduced by 30%. After a few days, he will come to him if he works hard and suffers seven injuries.

The body is not good, even worse.

There are countless prisoners who are taken in every year before they are sentenced to death.

The dungeon is gloomy and there is no sunlight.

"Crazy..."

In the darkness, the sound of iron chains colliding came.

"Get in!"

The three men who put on prison clothes, put on chains, and shackled them and were pushed into the dungeon.

Maybe it was luck, maybe it was Xu Dayou who was taken care of, Fang Zheng got an empty cell.

Zhang Chuwu and Xiaoliu were trapped with several habitual offenders.

"Brother Fang."

After the prison guard left, Zhang Chuwu moved to the place where the two cells were opposite each other and said, "Don't worry, I have a friend who works in the yamen. I asked him, we won't have any trouble."

Even though he said so, his expression was not less panic.

After all, Zhang Chuwu is only in his teens. Even if he is sensible early, this is the first time he has encountered this.

It is not easy to know how to comfort people at this time.

Fang Zheng asked himself that when the other party was so old, he still didn't understand anything and was confused all day long.

"I know."

He slowed down his voice and said, "We have not done anything wrong and are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

"hey-hey……"

In Zhang Chuwu's cell, a man with disheveled hair and face sneered when he heard this: "Young man, you are too naive."

"No matter whether you have done that bad thing or not, since you have come in, it will not be that easy to get out!"

"How could it be?"

Zhang Chuwu turned pale and said anxiously: "We are the ones who report to the officials, the ones who die are still... I want to be familiar with each other, we are innocent!"

"You should leave this to the people in the yamen."

The man seemed disdainful and said, "But even if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't have to go out if he didn't have enough money to make some money."

"Do it?"

Zhang Chuwu's eyes moved: "This brother, I hope you can give me advice."

"Hmph!"

The man snorted a few times, but didn't respond. He just curled up, wrapped some straw and lay down.

"Brother, brother..."

Zhang Chuwu was unwilling to give up and went forward to call.

"What's the noise!"

At this moment, a prison guard appeared nearby, shouting with anger: "Be honest with me, and you will be quarrel, and you will be more beautiful!"

There was a silence in the field.

After stopping, seeing that no one dared to say anything again, the prison guard snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Fang Zheng sighed, and had no idea of ​​continuing to talk to Zhang Chuwu.

He moved his foot and sat down on the wall. Before he could fully calm down, he saw a person next to the room staring at him.
To be continued...
