Chapter 167

Without saying anything, Zhang Kaitai rushed back to the front hall first. Xu Qian also wanted to rush with Zhang Jinluo, but not as fast as others.

When he arrived at the front hall at a very fast speed, he happened to see Tai open his finger instead of the sword and cut the last paper man in two.

At this time, there were many pieces of paper on the ground, and there were nearly ten paper men. In addition, there were two teenagers lying on the ground. Their throats were cut open by sharp blades, and fresh blood was splashed everywhere. They had died of exhaustion.

"What's the matter?" Xu Qian was shocked.

"A lot of paper men came out of these two people and wanted to kill them. They were stopped by us." Silver Gong, who was in charge of the jailer, replied, but the object of the answer was Kai Kai Tai.

"What about criminals?" When Zhang Kaitai asked questions, he looked at the middle-aged man in royal guards who was curled up in the corner and protected by several gongs.

He crouched in the corner with his head in his arms, his face facing the wall.

"Hey, it's OK." The causeway on the side kicked him, and the middle-aged man collapsed to the ground.

The people's faces changed slightly. The silver Gong, who was in charge of the guard, strode over and explored his nose and neck. His face was ugly and he hugged his fist anxiously:

"if the guard is weak, please punish him."

Zhang Kaitai suddenly became very gloomy. His forehead was blue and angry. He was silent for a few seconds and slowly breathed out: "it's not your fault."

He went to the body, pinched the middle-aged man's collar, gently shook, and his clothes broke into pieces in the sound of stabbing.

The middle-aged man's naked body was exposed in people's eyes, and there was a bright red mark on his chest.

"It's a wizard's incantation. If you take hair, blood, nails and other things, and add the eight characters of birth, you can kill people invisibly." Zhang Kaitai shook his head.

This can not be prevented, especially in the system of Wufu, who is only good at violence.

"And the paper man?" Xu Qian asked.

Zhang Kaitai squatted beside the corpse and pondered for a long time, "these paper men make me think about some things. The methods of the sorcerer religion are unpredictable. They have incantation, dream killing, and the ability to manipulate ghosts and corpses.

"These paper men are ghosts attached to them and are driven to work for the casters."

Xu Qian, a clever man, understood Zhang Kaitai's meaning in an instant and said, "the well in the backyard is used by witches of the sorcerer religion to raise ghosts."

This can also explain why it is a ban, not a thorough purification.

"The wizard is probably around here."

"But now he has left. Our raid caught him unprepared, so he lurks around and uses a spell to kill people. The man is dead, so he won't stay around."

"Zhang Jinluo, can't you even sense this paper man? Just now I didn't find the paper man hiding in these teenagers. "

"First, the divine sense of the warrior can only warn the things that threaten him; second, the paper man is not only a thing that ghosts depend on, but also a seal that can block perception; third, the paper man does not have strong lethality, and is usually used to do things, not to kill the enemy."

Xu Qi'an suddenly became furious and scolded the rubbish. The long black gold knife came out of its sheath and cut through the beam of the hall. The broken wood and tiles were smashed down, causing women and teenagers to hold their heads and scream.

In the shadow of a street apart, I saw the collapse of the roof in the distance, the noise, the people hiding in the shadow sneered "Hey", and fell into silence again.

...

Shangshu mansion of the Ministry of industry.

Master bedroom, dead wife died for many years, has never been a continuation of the Ministry of work secretary, cuddle concubine deep sleep.

A paper man floated into the yard with the night wind and landed on the ground. A few seconds later, he got up and squeezed himself through the crack of the door.

It carefully avoided the charcoal basin, stepped astringent steps to the bed, drove a breeze to the bed, and fell on the pillow of the Minister of the Ministry of work.

The paper man staggered up on the pillow, riveted hard enough, and bumped into the Secretary of the Ministry of industry in the face.

He frowned and opened his eyes slowly. When he saw the paper man on the pillow, he suddenly woke up.

After observing my concubine to make sure she was sleeping soundly, I picked up the paper man, got out of bed, came to the table, lit the candle on the table, unfolded the paper man, and squinted to read the small words on the paper.

Just after reading it, the minister's face changed in vain, and his beard trembled. When he finished watching it, he felt relieved to spit out a mouthful of turbid air, and recovered calm and relaxed.

After burning the paper man with candlelight, the Minister of the Ministry of work returned to his bed, looked at the sleeping concubine, pondered for a moment, slowly picked up the pillow and covered her mouth and nose....

...

the next day, the Ministry of punishment.

After a visit to the prison, the inmates got up early to take in the prison.

The 46 watchmen involved in the corruption case, from Jinluo to Tongluo, were all detained in the Ministry of punishment.

Originally, according to the rules, the three yamen should take part in the detention and interrogate separately. However, in the tax and silver case and the Sangbo case, the Wang party lost two core members one after another, and they were at odds with Wei Yuan. The punishment department was more enthusiastic than the Dali Temple Minister of the Qi party."When people are doing things and heaven is watching, do you think that if you are silent, you can escape the Dharma?" The Minister of punishment sneered and shook his head:

"I have checked your property and worked out a compromise. After your majesty has seen it, none of you will want to run away.

Of course, I am still willing to give you a chance. Who made you corrupt and oppress the people? Is it Wei Yuan? "

No one answered him.

Suddenly, someone sneered, "corruption? Lord Shangshu, please tell me how much money I embezzled? I've been a watchman for more than ten years, and I'm not greedy for a single coin. "

Hum, also show off the advantage of words..... The Minister of punishment followed the voice and saw the man who was talking. Sun Shangshu nodded with satisfaction: "how much money did that boy greedy for ink?"

"Yesterday, we sent someone to check Xu's house and found only a few hundred pieces of silk, but not much silver." Officials said.

Sun Shangshu "Er" A: "those silk and satin first put away, wait for things to understand, send to the Yamen adults."

"This... We didn't dare confiscate those things." The official whispered.

Sun Shangshu's eyes were sharp: "hmm?"

The official said with a bitter smile: "that, it was given by your majesty. No one dares to take it. When I go back, Xu Pingzhi tells the imperial edict..."

"... I heard that he often goes to the Jiaofang department?" Sun Shangshu looked for another breakthrough.

"Yes, we sent someone to ask the procuress of the Department of Jiaofang. In a short period of two months, Xu slept with eight Huakui in the Department of Jiaofang and had a good relationship with Fuxiang in Yingmei Pavilion."

"This is it." Sun Shangshu was slightly inspired: "it turns out that all the silver was spent on women's bellies. The confessions of those women in Jiaofang department can also be used as evidence."

The official was very embarrassed and said: "but the women's confessions are very unified..."

SUN Shangshu looked at him with questioning eyes, and the official said angrily: "the women said that they admired the talent of Xu, volunteered to serve him, and didn't accept any money."

Sun Shangshu's body swayed, and he was almost impatient.

"Son of a bitch, if there is no flaw, arrange it for him. If there is no money, give him money!" Sun Shangshu said in a deep voice:

"I will never let this little bastard go."

Angrily, he went back to the hall and poured a mouthful of warm tea. Before he got hot, the official came in in in a hurry and told him, "Mr. Shang Shu, please send a message to your majesty."

Sun Shangshu looked at the water leak in the corner. This time point has passed. Your majesty called, either something or a small court meeting.

Your majesty, why are you so diligent? The Minister of punishment nodded his head and said, "prepare the sedan chair!"
