Talk about the world of mortals in detail
Chapter 657 The real culprit
The appearance of this "fire dragon" was so powerful that the garden that was damp due to heavy rain was almost instantly evaporated by the heat.
Naturally, the ghosts who were Xue Daoren's main targets bore the brunt and were directly attacked by the fire dragon.
"Anghou——"
The sound of the fire dragon is not so much its roar as the roar of the flames moving in the wind.
"Boom."
The whole garden shook, and then the ghost's shrill screams stopped.
The fire dragon hovered in the garden for several weeks. As Taoist Xue stumbled and fell to his knees, the fire dragon formed by burning talismans also dissipated.
"Huhu."
When the fire dragon dissipated, it still brought up a gust of hot wind, which also caused Xue Daoren, who was already unstable, to fall backwards and barely supported the ground sideways.
Zhong Bao was carrying Mrs. Liu on his back and had not had time to escape from the county government office. At this moment, he was staring blankly at everything in the courtyard. Qiaoer in the room over there and some conscious government officials were also in a trance.
The rain has stopped for a long time. Although the golden rooster's crowing does not really bring out the sun, the bright moon is already high in the sky.
Daoren Xue was breathing heavily. He couldn't believe the scene just now, but at this moment he didn't care about being in a daze and immediately looked around.
However, Daoren Xue was not allowed to do anything else. The feeling of dizziness came over him again. This time he really couldn't stand it anymore and he lay down on his back and passed out.
Zhong Captou finally reacted. Seeing Daoren Xue fall, he couldn't help shouting, and other people around him also exclaimed.
"Taoist Priest——" "Taoist Priest Xue——"
The sound was accompanied by some vague figures approaching, but Daoren Xue had already lost consciousness.
Outside the county government office, Hui Mian fell from the air and returned to the white-haired old man's shoulder. It looked at the old man with astonished eyes.
"Sir, this trick of Master Xue is so familiar. Isn't this, isn't this the signature spell of Han Shiyong, the great master of Dayan?"
Although Han Shiyong had taken the Guiyuan Pill refined from the gallbladder of a snow python, he was a very talented person. His skill of "Fire Dragon Clearing the Way" was so superb that it no longer looked like a mortal method.
"maybe"
Yu Weng replied, looked up at the sky and then left. To be honest, it was a little surprising that Taoist Xue could directly use this move.
On the street, some brave people came out to check. After all, the county government was making a lot of noise, and many people were woken up by the crowing of roosters.
——
In the early morning of the next day, almost all the county government personnel were present, including many people and civil servants, and several officials were also present.
In a battle with ghosts in the middle of the night yesterday, the county government injured more than a dozen government officials. Even the head catcher Zhong Xingwen was injured, and the Taoist priest was still unconscious at this moment.
However, after last night's yamen service, as long as he was not too injured to move, he would still be extremely excited even in the early morning.
They told the story of last night to their colleagues who had returned from last night's shift or who had not participated in last night's events. Everyone in the yamen was astonished, and even several officials were shocked.
Although the county government is currently operating normally, several officials and many government servants have gathered in the official residence, and Daoren Xue is also lying in a specially tidied room at the moment.
The doctor who had seen the patient yesterday had been invited over a long time ago. He was a little dissatisfied with being taken almost to the county office before dawn. However, when he learned that there were many injured people, he still continued to see the doctor and save people. Now.
At this moment, the doctor finished taking care of the other people and finally returned to Daoren Xue's bedside. When he arrived at the county government office, he originally saw Daoren Xue first, but his condition could not be cured casually.
Outside the house, the county lieutenant couldn't help but ask Mr. Zhong, who had treated the injury.
"A ghost really appeared yesterday. Is that ghost really so terrifying?"
Although Zhong Shaotou's injury was not serious, it did not affect his movement and speech. He looked like a fine person. He just needed to take medicine to recover. At this moment, he couldn't help but nod his head.
"Lord County Captain, my subordinates saw it with their own eyes last night. The ghost was extremely ferocious. If it weren't for Taoist Master Xue's magic, not only would my wife be in danger, but my subordinates and others would also be killed!"
The county captain may not believe the exaggerated descriptions of other county officials, but he will not believe Zhong Xingwen's words, let alone that so many people in the county government, together with the county magistrate's wife and personal maid, are deceiving people.
"Alas, it's a pity that I left a little early and was unable to help at the critical moment."
The county captain sighed and looked at the Taoist who was still unconscious in the room.
Fortunately, I left in the middle of the night, otherwise I don’t know what would have happened. Of course, what the ghost looks like is arousing curiosity, but it would be too stupid to take risks out of curiosity!
Of course, the county captain's view of Taoists has also changed. It is one thing that he is unwilling to take risks, but it does not mean that he does not admire people who are willing to take risks for others.
Obviously, this Taoist priest is not a deceiver, but a real expert in conquering demons. What a pity!
The county lieutenant turned his attention to the arrester in front of him. As for Zhong Xingwen, the county lieutenant always paid more attention to him. Facts have proved that he was not wrong about the person.
"Zhong Captou, take good care of your injuries, and take good care of this Taoist priest. All expenses can be paid to the Yamen account."
"Thank you, sir!"
Zhong Captou was a little absent-minded when he thanked him, and the county captain's question also reminded him of last night.
In addition to the magical skills of the fierce ghost and the Taoist, the screams and the miserable and resentful voice of the ghost are also lingering in my mind.
"Give me back my husband, give me back my life."
This shrill voice seemed to still be in my ears, and at the same time, Daoist Master Xue's words yesterday made people extremely concerned.
Even though he is a ghost, he is also pitiful!
A fierce ghost, a female ghost, or the last woman, shouted to give me my husband, give me my life, and was so resentful towards Mrs. Guan.
Zhong Xingwen's thoughts couldn't help but continue to spread.
"Zhong Captou?"
"Ah, my subordinate is here!"
The county captain's confused voice brought Zhong Xingwen back to his senses, and he quickly saluted and faced the other party, but the former patted him on the shoulder.
"Zhong Baotou, you are tired and your injuries are not serious. You should go home and recuperate for a while. The energy in your meridians must not go wrong. I grant you a long vacation. You will not have to worry about the county government's affairs for the time being. Don't worry. , I will also speak for you, Lord County Lord, and I will definitely make a great contribution to you!"
Zhong Baotou bowed solemnly to the county captain again.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Um!"
The county lieutenant said a few words, looked back at the people in the room over there, and left.
When the county captain passed by, some of the government officials nearby avoided him, pretending to just come here, or pretending to pass by. When the county captain left, they hurriedly came over and gathered around the head catcher in front of the door.
"Boss, how exciting was it last night?" "Oh, what a pity, why wasn't I there?"
"On my way to the county government office, I heard many people talking about it!"
"Yes, all the roosters in the city crowed in the middle of the night last night!" "Oh, so did my family. It turns out it's because of this!"
"Brother Zhong, I heard someone said that you fought a fierce ghost with a knife, and that the Taoist summoned a fire dragon. Is it true or false?"
These government officials all looked excited, and they were all obviously not present last night. There were some in the strong class and some in the fast class, and most of them were relatively young.
Zhong Captou shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, someone inside exclaimed.
"The Taoist priest is awake!"
In the room, the doctor was writing a prescription on the table. There was movement on the bed behind him. The yamen guard shouted, and everyone gathered around him, including Mr. Zhong, who was outside the room.
"Taoist!" "Taoist."
"Master, are you okay?"
"Taoist priest?"
Voices of concern or curiosity came from it, which gradually became clearer in Xue Daoren's consciousness, as if although the person seemed to slowly open his eyes, he did not wake up immediately.
"Go and inform Madam!" "Alas!"
The people next to him were flustered for a while, and it took a while before the first word appeared in Xue Dao's mouth.
"water"
A hoarse voice sounded, and someone immediately went to pour water. However, Captain Zhong took the water bowl and went to the bed himself. He held up the Taoist's back with one hand and carefully brought the water bowl close to him with the other.
"Taoist Master, drink water"
Taoist Xue put his lips close to the water bowl, his desire for water was aroused, and he drank a little fiercely, but Zhong Baotou had a steady hand and did not let the Taoist drink too violently.
"Taoist priest, slow down, drink slowly, you will get enough water."
Taoren Xue heard the voice clearly and looked up at Zhong Baotou. He held his wrist with one hand and squeezed it hard.
When the fire dragon burned down the ghost last night, Taoist Xue seemed to be able to feel the pain and unwillingness of the ghost at that moment, feel the source of the resentment, and even vaguely see something.
This ghost did not originate from this, and the ghost last night was not a pure ghost. The real wronged person was in a far away place.
After drinking all the water, Mr. Zhong wanted to get up but was still held by the Taoist. He had to ask others to pour more water, but Taoist Xue kept looking at Mr. Zhong and opened and closed his lips to make a slightly hoarse sound. Only bystanders heard Unclear.
Zhong Daotou then put his ear close.
"Taoist Priest, what do you want to say?"
Xue Daoren felt himself last night, and also felt the resentment last night. It was no longer just the idea of solving people's misfortunes. Although his voice was hoarse, it still reached Zhong Daotou's ears clearly.
"Capture the head. This ghost died unjustly and unwillingly. My wife is kind-hearted and should not be harmed by ghosts, but the real culprit is still at large."
At this moment, Zhong Patou understood what Taoist Xue was talking about.
"The water is coming, the water is coming!"
Mr. Zhong took the water bowl and still approached the Taoist.
"Taoist Master, drink water!"
"Madam is here!"
Someone shouted from outside, and the crowd dispersed a lot. After that, Mrs. Liu and Qiaoer came over, thanked them and exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Zhong Patou also stepped back a little, watching the lady over there greeting the Taoist, and he was also thinking about what happened last night.
Relying on his early years of studying under veteran police officers from other places, his many years of experience in handling cases, and the intuition in his heart.
Zhong Xingwen has almost come up with an answer. The real culprit may be the current Tian of Haiyu County - the county magistrate Guan Xinrui!
