Zhao Guanren finally saw the fighting power of the Dashun Dynasty. When he knocked the gong, hundreds of folk masters jumped out and chopped the corpse-turned-Li Dianshi into minced meat. It was said that the strong ones could use sword energy from a distance.

It's not a problem for Minai to take someone's head.

"If the people on earth had such awesome fighting power, the dead people would be able to rush back to their hometown..."

Zhao Guanren was sitting at a wonton stall on the street smoking. Kerosene street lamps were already lit on both sides of the road. Hearing the sound of bangs, it must have been seven or eight o'clock in the evening. The curfew was about to come at nine o'clock, but both sides of the road were surrounded by people eating melons.

the masses.

"Go, go, go! Don't watch the fun..."

Song Chizhu and Hu Xiancheng walked out of the alley and drove away the owner of the wonton stall. They sat next to Zhao Guanren and both lit up a special cigarette and took a few puffs with a sad expression.

"Master Zhang! This is a disaster..."

Song Chizhu lamented and said: "A bookkeeper, a historian, nine servants and a thin dog died in one night. I'm afraid I won't be able to fool a few madams and turtle slaves to confess their crimes. I

If we don’t give an explanation, it will be hard for us to keep our hats on!"

"You can't escape this crime of oversight..."

Zhao Guanren nodded and said: "Such a big thing will probably alarm the emperor, and whoever gets involved will die. I won't even dare to protect you. I'm afraid the best result is to be exiled!"

"We are just grasshoppers on the same rope..."

Hu Xiancheng said anxiously: "Mr. Zhang! The corpse was found in your old house. You can't explain this kind of thing at all, but we know that there is an expert behind you. Please ask him to think of a solution quickly, otherwise the emperor will take it.

If we kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, our heads will not be saved!"

"You two! As long as you seize the opportunity, a crisis can turn into a good opportunity..."

Zhao Guanren said: "What is corpse poison? It's a plague. Once this corpse plague spreads, it will lead to the destruction of the country. This is obviously a spy colluding with foreign enemies and trying to cut off the lifeline of our Dashun Dynasty. Fortunately, the three of us discovered it in time."

, nipped the conspiracy in the cradle!"

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that..."

Song Chizhu suddenly slapped his head and said: "I know, it must be the old bustard who is harboring the enemy's spies. He wants to harm our land of plenty and trap us in the hinterland of Dashun. However... we have to dig deep into this matter, otherwise we will have nothing to do with it.

A little shrimp can’t do anything!”

"I'm new here, so I'm not familiar with the people and sophistication of Lantai..."

Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "The Corpse Plague must not be careless. I am responsible for finding the source of the Corpse Plague. As for the spies lurking in our court, the dead cannot speak. You two should hand over a few to support them first, and wait until the evidence is ready.

After that...whoever is taller can carry the thunder!"

"Yeah! It makes sense, it really makes sense..."

Song Chizhu nodded with a deep expression. Hu County Prime Minister immediately said decisively: "Li Dianshi! He has served in the frontier for many years and is well versed in the situation of both the enemy and us. He must have been bribed by Xiao Ji with a lot of money, otherwise why would he lure me?"

Waiting for you to come to this place of death!"

"That's him! Go and ransack his house now..."

Song Chizhu jumped up aggressively, completely ignoring the feelings of his former colleagues, and Hu Xian Cheng even pulled out a knife and looked like he was going to kill someone.

"Two adults, don't be anxious..."

Zhao Guanren pressed his hands and said: "The higher authorities will definitely send an imperial envoy to investigate this matter. I think the Half-Moon Gate may not be the source. You can arrange a reasonable identity for me and I will check it carefully tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it will be bad if something goes wrong while busy.

!”

"Don't worry about it tomorrow morning. Someone will be coming from the state capital tomorrow morning..."

Song Chizhu took out a waist badge and handed it to him and said: "Master Zhang! I'm going to aggrieve you for the time being and let you temporarily take over the post of historian. Now that you are a hero and a good general, I can tell the superiors that you will take people to investigate now.

Well, we must find out the source before dawn!"

"Tsk tsk~Dian Shi! This official name is really unlucky..."

Zhao Guanren took the badge with disgust on his face, stood up and said: "Please tell the people in the city that after the well water is brought up, the chickens and ducks must taste it first. If it is not poisonous, boil it before drinking it. Everyone around here must also drink it."

Empty, idle people

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Don’t wait to get closer!”

"Young master Zhang has really thought it through. I'll leave this to you. We have to catch the spy..."

Song and Hu ran away in a hurry, not to catch some spy, but to find the scapegoat.

"Hehe~"

Zhao Guanren put on his waistband and smiled heartily, walked into the Half-Moon Gate with great swagger, called the team leaders to announce his identity, and walked into the backyard arrogantly.

"Don't move the body for now, sprinkle quicklime around it, and the madam will bring it over..."

Zhao Guanren brought an oil lamp to the well and found a lot of garbage floating at the bottom of the well. However, the water in the well was only a foot deep. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, but there was only one horizontal shaft, which should lead directly to the Zhang family's ghost house.

.

"Sir, sir! I really didn't do this..."

The madam knelt down crying and had already put on the heavy wooden shackles.

"How many girls did you throw away? When did you throw them away..."

Zhao Guanren put down the kerosene lamp and squatted in front of her. The madam cried: "Three in total, three of them. In fact, they will die if I don't beat them. They are already very sick. I am helping them end their pain!"

"Fuck your mother..."

Zhao Guanren slapped her in the mouth angrily and said angrily: "I will break both your legs to see if you are in pain. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will throw you down too. Answer my question honestly, when?"

How many times were the bodies thrown away?"

"twice!"

The old madam said sadly: "The first girl was about half a year ago. Later, two girls became seriously ill and stole my money and tried to escape. I broke their legs in anger, and they died that night. About

Four days ago!”

"Three days? Isn't that the two days before I came..."

Zhao Guanren picked his chin and asked: "How long have you been working here? Do you know if there is anyone else nearby who has the same situation as yours? The well has dried up and no other corpses have been thrown away before?"

"No! I have told you all three, and I will admit them together..."

The old bustard shook his head and said: "I have been working here for more than a year, and I have to pay monthly fees. When I bought this yard, the well was dry. Several households on this line to the east have only a little water in the well.

, it’s possible that they poisoned it and drifted into our courtyard!”

"Squad leader!"

Zhao Guanren stood up and asked: "Is there any girl around here who can wear silk? If it is a corpse thrown into a well, how long will it take for the silk on the body to rot into strips of cloth?"

"It depends on whether there is water or not. Water wells are very humid and can be completely rotten in ten and a half months. If a dry well is dry, it may not be rotten for several years..."

The squad leader replied: "But there are not many wealthy households around here. Small businessmen and hawkers don't dare to wear silk even if they have money. There should be only two places nearby that can afford to wear silk. One is the Painted Boat Boat Girl, and the other is the Guanyue Pavilion."

Advocating excellence is not a good person in either of these two places!"

"The old bustard was taken to the prison to await interrogation..."

Zhao Guanren picked up the oil lamp and walked out. If the old madam hadn't lied, the two girls who were autopsied tonight were hers, but there were two other female corpses that he melted. Judging from the degree of decay of the silk, they probably weren't.

More than half a month.

"It should have only happened in the past half month, but why did you crawl to Zhang's house..."

Zhao Guanren walked out of the small courtyard thoughtfully, and called several government officials to start searching the dry well along the route. The madam must have been right, there was corpse poison in other people's wells, and the corpse of the girl she threw into the well had changed.

The same goes for the two girls.

"Open the door, open the door! The government is on an errand..."

The government officials knocked on the doors of every house. The people living on this street were all ordinary people. After seeing the excitement, they knew what was going on. They cooperated very well and asked them to check the dry wells, but most of them had turned into garbage wells, and the wells were not

Straight.

"Sir! There is no dirt in this well..."

The yamen officer called Zhao Guanren into a house. Zhao Guanren took out one or two pieces of silver, threw it to the host and said: "Catch any chicken, duck or goose, and bring a small bowl!"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"My house is not poisoned. My smelly well has not been used for several years..."

The male owner went to the backyard full of complaints. Zhao Guanren ordered someone to bring some sewage up. After the male owner caught a duck, he asked someone to bring a bowl and feed the duck some water.

"Watch it! If it turns into a corpse, shoot it quickly..."

Zhao Guanren stared at the duck with sharp eyes. As a result, the duck fell to the ground before he could finish his words. He was frothing at the mouth and kept twitching. However, in the end, he did not transform into a corpse, but kicked his legs and died directly.

"Dead?"

Zhao Guanren said in surprise: "Could it be that this zombie plague can't infect poultry? Check if there are any wild cats or mice nearby, catch two and try the poison!"

"I have a kitten at home, fifty dollars..."

The male owner quickly picked up a little kitten. In fact, Zhao Guanren liked kittens very much, but in order to investigate the case, he had to be cruel. After throwing a bunch of money to the other party, he walked outside the hospital with his hands behind his back.

"Meow~"
