Merchant of the Underworld

Although the executioner was powerful, he couldn't handle the large number of people. What's more, he broke an arm and was quickly captured by the soldiers and pinned to the ground.

"You thief, you dare to assassinate the imperial official! I will sentence you to death at the stake now."

After that, soldiers brought a lot of dry firewood and tied the executioner to the pillar. The executioner yelled loudly and roared angrily, but there was not much time left for him. The fire had already ignited, and the flames quickly enveloped his body.

The executioner's movements disappeared little by little, the yelling and cursing completely disappeared, and the people became quiet again. I watched everything with satisfaction.

After a while, the fire disappeared and the surroundings fell into darkness again. My consciousness returned to my body, and I subconsciously turned on the flashlight.

When I saw the familiar surroundings clearly, I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I came back safely.

I immediately ran to turn on the light, only to find Li Mazi foaming at the mouth and lying on a chair having epilepsy. I was frightened. If Li Mazi had something wrong with him, how should I explain it to his son?

I shook him immediately: "Li Mazi, wake up quickly!"

Li Mazi woke up quickly and cried loudly as soon as he opened his eyes: "I was chopped, my mother-in-law was chopped..."

I immediately slapped Li Mazi twice: "It's okay now, please wake up."

Li Mazi opened his eyes, looked around inexplicably, and then lay down on the chair dejectedly: "Damn, what happened just now, did we play time travel?"

I nodded and took a meaningful look at the ancient painting.

At this moment, this ancient painting still exudes an evil energy, which makes me feel scared. But now was not the time to be afraid. I took Li Mazi and hurriedly left the scene of the murder.

I ran downstairs in one breath, and Li Yuntian was sitting in the police car waiting for us. After seeing us, he immediately came up to us and asked how we were doing.

I took a deep breath and said that's it. Now hurry up and go back to the morgue, the body may have been burned.

Li Yuntian was shocked and quickly asked me how I knew?

I was so tired that I had no time to talk nonsense to Li Yuntian, so I just asked him to drive quickly.

Although everything that just happened was an illusion, I still felt severe pain in my arm at this moment, as if it had really been chopped off by the executioner.

In this way, we drove all the way to the hospital morgue.

Even the manager of the morgue was a little scared when he had to enter the morgue in the middle of the night. He said he would give you the key and you could go in by yourself!

We didn't force it, we took the key and opened the door. And the moment I opened the door, I clearly felt a gloomy wind blowing out from the morgue, with a smell of blood!

And in the never-ending darkness of the morgue, a shadow darker than ink was flashing back and forth in the morgue. I took a deep breath and yelled angrily: "Who?"

The black shadow was immediately stunned and stayed in place motionless.

Li Yuntian pulled out his pistol and turned on the light.

The lights were turned on and the darkness was driven away. Are there any shadows in front of me?

However, my tense mind did not relax because I knew that the black shadow just now was not fake.

Maybe the executioner has just arrived.

The three of us were a little afraid to go in. In the end, we had no choice but to call a few police officers to give us courage. Only then did I walk up and open the freezer where the deceased was stored.

The freezer was opened, but the scene inside made me stunned.

The freezers were empty and the bodies were missing.

Li Yuntian also took a breath of cold air, with a gloomy look on his face. He roared angrily: "Where is the manager of the morgue? Call him over. Why is the body missing?"

"Captain." At this moment, one of the policemen who was called called out tremblingly. When we focused our attention on him, we found that he was pointing at the ceiling.

My heart trembled for a while, and I slowly looked over my head...

I found a rope hanging from the ceiling, with a body hanging from it. The hard body was still shaking back and forth at this moment, and its white eyes were wide open, staring at us blankly.

I took a deep breath, how on earth did the body get up there? Can the executioner in the painting really move objects in real life? How much hatred does he have for this person? Even after death, he still won't let her rest in peace.

"Captain, what should we do now?" one of the policemen asked tremblingly.

Li Yuntian glanced at me and asked for my opinion.

"Hang him." I said, "Let him vent his bad breath so as not to hurt innocent people again..."

"Who is he?" All the policemen looked at me suspiciously.

I sighed, said nothing more, and just left with everyone.

I left the old paintings in the morgue. The ability of the fairy in the painting is far beyond my imagination, so I think it is better to follow his wishes and not make any more crooked ideas for the time being.

After dawn, I took Li Yuntian to the morgue again. The head and neck of the corpse were almost broken, but after a night of tossing, they were completely separated.

We rearranged the bodies and put them in the cabinet for freezing. Li Yuntian asked me what to do?

I said: "I already know the allusion of this painting! Knowing the allusion, I can prescribe the right medicine."

Li Yuntian immediately asked me what the origin of this ancient painting was? Why is it so violent?

"Yesterday in the world of paintings, the executioner insisted that the prisoner was unjust and kept calling him the prince. In the Tang Dynasty, who was the prince who was executed?"

When I asked, Li Yuntian was stunned for a moment: "I really don't know this, I don't have a good history."

"Prince Yide." Li Mazi said excitedly, "That's the one who was killed by Wu Zetian."

I nodded: "Yes, Wu Zetian wanted to be the empress and brought trouble to the world! As the prince of the dynasty, Yide naturally disagreed. Yide was a generous man and cared about the people. He was the first to stand up against Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian wanted to To scare the monkeys, let's just kill Prince Yide. The ministers were filled with indignation, but they dared not speak out. Li Tang's last bloodline was cut off..."

"The executioner who was in charge of the execution at that time felt a strong sense of guilt because he personally cut off the head of Prince Yide. So he tried to defend the prince, but in the end he ended up being burned to death."

"I guess the reason why the executioner wanted to kill the person was because he wanted revenge!" I analyzed patiently with Li Yuntian.

However, Li Yuntian raised a question, that is, why were the previous owners of this painting okay, but this girl was so unlucky that she was beheaded by the executioner?

I shook my head, saying that I didn't know yet. But I have a bold guess, that is, this girl may be related to Wu Zetian, or the judge who sentenced Prince Yide to death.

So I gave Li Yuntian a task, asking him to check the family tree of the deceased no matter what, preferably during the Tang Dynasty!

In addition, we need to investigate the origin of this ancient painting, find the owner, and find out how this painting came out.
