I Pushed Through The Weird World

Chapter 39 Danger, calculation

Sensing that Gu Yan might not be in a good mood, Master Wang stopped talking, and the carriage fell into silence.

After leaving Dongcho, the road improved and the speed of the carriage increased.

After two incense sticks, the speed of the car slowed down, and the surrounding area became much quieter.

Gu Yan has a keen sense, and feels that the surrounding temperature has dropped a lot, and there is also a vaguely strange smell in the air.

It smells like incense mixed with corpse odor.

The carriage stopped, and Master Wang got up: "Yizhuang is here, come down."

Yizhuang is located at the corner of Nancho, Xiahe County, not too far from the Yamen. There are no buildings around, and there are woods on both sides, quiet and deep.

This is Gu Yan's first visit to Yizhuang.

Of course, ordinary people would not come here either.

unlucky.

"The county magistrate is already inside, Gu Yan, you go in, I won't go."

Master Wang waved his hand and stepped aside, unwilling to enter this place again.

Gu Yan nodded, clenched his waist knife, and walked in.

Separated by a door, two temperatures.

It was even colder inside.

The entrance is a big yard.

There are many potholes in the yard, and there are unburned paper money inside that are being driven by the wind and swirling around, as if something is constantly grabbing the paper money, but cannot.

An old man was lying on a rocking chair at the door, with age spots on his face and half-closed eyes.

Gu Yan came in, but he didn't respond either.

Passing through the not-so-long yard is a house made of bamboo.

In front of the house stood two hideous, unnamed stone beasts.

There is also a plaque with the words "mortuary" hanging on it, which seems to be quite old.

A bearded man, like a door god, stood at the door of the house, motionless.

Seeing Gu Yan, the bearded burly man hesitated, before speaking: "If you are timid, don't go in. The master just entered, he should come out immediately."

Gu Yan nodded and pushed open the door.

A stench immediately hit his face.

Gu Yan held his breath and looked forward.

I saw more than a dozen mutilated corpses piled together like rubbish, forming a hill.

His eyesight is very good.

The corpses were all badly mutilated, with slightly rotted flesh and flesh, turning red and black.

Occasionally, the broken skeleton pierced the flesh and blood and inserted into the body of another corpse, connecting them all together.

The key point is that although these corpses are wearing government uniforms, they have no heads!

Their heads are gone!

Beside the corpse, the county magistrate Chen Zhinian and an old man, wearing something like a mask, were asking something.

Hearing the noise, Chen Zhinian turned around and found out it was Gu Yan. After that, he asked Wu Zuo to step back and walked over.

Seeing that Gu Yan's expression remained unchanged, admiration flashed in his eyes: "You have good courage."

"Sir, what is going on?" Gu Yan looked away and asked.

"They were discovered yesterday by the mountain people at the foot of Tieling Mountain. Only fourteen corpses were found. They were headless and seriously adhering to each other. Not much information was collected. We could only tell that they were Sun Quan and the others based on their clothing."

Chen Zhinian didn't talk nonsense and told Gu Yan the existing information.

"Tieling Mountain?"

Gu Yan frowned.

If he remembered correctly, the county records recorded that a strange incident occurred in Tieling Mountain in the 133rd year of the Wei Dynasty. It has not been cleared up and was listed as a forbidden area.

It is impossible for an old fritter like Sun Quan not to know.

"Yes, Tieling Mountain. I have done a simple autopsy on the body. There are traces of wild beasts. There was no damage to the body before death. I suspect it was a strange hand."

"Strange?"

"Yes, it's weird. When Li Xiaoli brought you in, didn't he let you stay in the case file room privately for one night? You should know something about it, right?"

"Sir." Gu Yan didn't expect Chen Zhinian to know this.

Chen Zhinian stepped forward and patted Gu Yan on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, Sun Quan is actually mine, so when something like this happened, I asked Master Wang to bring you here.

It's just a pity. Originally, I thought that you would be overt and covert by then to distract Zhang Putou's men's influence, but now it seems that your road will be more difficult. "

After saying that, Chen Zhinian sighed, feeling a little regretful.

I just don't know whether I feel sorry for Sun Quan's life or because I feel sorry for the lack of chess pieces.

Gu Yan's heart moved.

"Sir, since it was Wei Wei's fault and so many brothers were killed or injured, do we need to report to the night guards or the Demon Suppressor who deal with Wei Wei?"

This might be a good opportunity.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhinian shook his head: "You don't know something. If it is really a strange attack on Tieling Mountain, even if I report it, no one will come."

It turned out that the records in the case files that Gu Yan saw were written in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the 133rd year of the Wei Dynasty, five members of the Orion family died tragically on Tieling Mountain.

Then, every rainy day, the mountain would be filled with white mist. Anyone who entered would appear as a headless corpse in a ravine.

At that time, people from the night watch came to deal with it.

As a result, no trace of this strange thing could be found behind.

In addition, as long as it is not rainy, it is fine for the mountain people at the foot of the mountain to go up the mountain to hunt.

The night watchman ordered the warning signs to be set up and then left.

Chen Zhinian sighed: "Weirdness is endless and will never be destroyed. This is the usual approach of night watchmen when faced with weirdness that will not spread and is difficult to deal with."

Doesn't that mean that Sun Quan and his party died in vain?

Thinking of this, Gu Yan frowned.

"Then why did the master call me here today?"

"Go out and talk."

The smell of the morgue was very strong, and Chen Zhinian, a frail scholar, couldn't bear it anymore.

After leaving the house and walking further, Chen Zhinian quickly took off his mask, gasping for breath and coughing constantly. It seemed that his health was not good.

The bearded man following behind quickly put his palms on Chen Zhinian's back and massaged it several times.

After catching his breath, Chen Zhinian sat down on the next step and motioned for Gu Yan to sit next to him, not caring at all about the gap in status between the two.

Most people will inevitably be a little moved at this time.

Although Gu Yan was indifferent in his heart, he still showed a hint of apprehension and sat down with half his buttocks.

"You have just entered the Yamen, and there are some things you are not clear about.

There are more than 200 yamen servants and more than 500 white servants in the yamen.

The chief catcher is in charge of all government servants, the deputy catcher is in charge of all white servants, and the master master is in charge of all civil servants.

This is the composition of a yamen. "

These things are actually very simple. Gu Yan knew it on the first day he went on duty.

Chen Zhinian said this specifically, so naturally he would not be so superficial: "My lord, do you mean that these people are all controlled by Zhang Captou and the others?"

Chen Zhinian nodded appreciatively: "Yes, not entirely true. One-third of the government officials are people arranged by wealthy businessmen. They can barely be influenced by me. This is Zhang Song's compromise.

But this time you killed Zhang Yuan, Zhang Song reacted greatly.

Although I exerted pressure and negotiated, for the sake of stability in Xiahe County, I still agreed to let the person he designated become the new deputy chief catcher. "

After taking a few breaths, Chen Zhinian continued: "You will continue to work tomorrow.

It's just that something happened to Sun Quan this time. The other party used the excuse of personnel problems and asked to adjust the distribution of the four groups of government officials. All my manpower was dispersed.

Now the four groups are all controlled by Zhang Song's people.

As long as I'm here, they won't attack you directly, but you will be in danger now, so you have to be careful. "

This time, Chen Zhinian did not give Gu Yan a chance to choose!

Because the people from the Julang Gang have been staring at Gu Yan.

He had no choice.

Gu Yan can only trust Chen Zhinian now!

Looking at Gu Yan's leaving figure, Chen Zhinian's eyes flickered: "Uncle Hu, how are the preparations over there?"

The bearded man nodded: "As long as Gu Yan survives seven days, the official document will be delivered to Xiahe County, and then I will personally deal with the Zhang brothers."

"Um."

Chen Zhinian raised his head and glanced at the sky.

The sky was dark and dark clouds were gathering.

Heavy rain is coming.

"It's going to rain heavily, let's go!"

The two left, and Yi Zhuang fell into deathly silence again.
