Chapter 95: Killing Intent
It was also at this time that he realized that the bodies of the two had been found. The deceased's family and dozens of people knelt at the county government gate and refused to get up. Some people testified that they saw the bodies transported from Zhibin Building. Fortunately, Huang Qi and the others were allowed to leave the city earlier. Now there is no evidence to die. Xi Yuanda is not afraid of Gu Yun's ability to do anything to him.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the county government, Gu Yun was very polite to him, not to treat criminals. He simply asked about yesterday. Speaking of the people outside, he was the magistrate of Qiantang County, and he could only act like this. He asked Xi Yuanda not to leave the city in the next few days, and it would not be too late to leave after the case was found out and his innocence was restored.
Xi Yuanda was not willing to trap here, so he moved out of Du Jingzhi and said that he would summon him and dare not delay. If there were any matters related to the case, he should have come to Qiantang in person and waited for the failure. The dispute was still unrest until noon. Gu Yun did not let go, and Xi Yuanda did not dare to leave. Just after noon, Bao Xi suddenly came to report that a white snake appeared by the Qiantang Lake, and Zhan Wenjun was at the scene and found the previously lost deer jelly.
This trip to Qiantang was everywhere and almost fell into the dead. All the causes were the deer jelly of this divine deer. It was impossible for Xi Yuanda to leave at this time. Besides, he also wanted to see whether the white snake was true or not, so he followed Bao Xi to Qiantang Lake. Halfway through the journey, Zhan Qi and the miserable Dou Qi were also taken by Li Dingzhi and Du Sansheng to go with the yamen. Xi Yuanda had an unknown premonition, but he could only take one step at a time.
"Which spirit official?"
"Here, that's the one, Xi Yuanda, the disaster relief spirit officer in Yangzhou, I saw it when I was in Wu County, and I heard...hehe..."
"What I heard, don't keep it aside. I'll invite you to drink afterwards!"
The man lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Xi Yuanda was raised by eating wolf milk. He was heartless and was extremely cruel to do things..."
"Ah, can you still be a spiritual official?"
"Can Du Jijiu's adopted son be the same?"
Xi Yuanda couldn't hear these comments, and he was not interested in the words of these ants. He stared at the white snake beside Zhan Wenjun, as if he wanted to find a flaw.
In any case, he absolutely did not believe that there was a white snake in the world, and it happened to appear on the shore of Qiantang Lake at this moment!
This is a trick!
Seeing that he was silent, Zhan Wenjun handed the deer jelly to Bao Xi and said, "Bao Zhuan, please check it out. This is what my mansion's troops just found from the White Snake's cave."
The deer jelly was half broken, not stained with a slight dust, nor was it rotten or deteriorated, as fresh as it was when it was just made. Bao Xi took it and handed it to Dou Qi, saying, "Mr. Dou, look carefully, is it your lost deer jelly?"
Dou Qi was frightened by the sudden white snake, thinking that the divine objects from heaven would be rewarded. He did too many evil things and believed in ghosts and gods. At this moment, he couldn't even speak incompletely. Facing Bao Xi's deep gaze, his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and he said hesitantly: "I, I...I don't know..."
"Um?"
Bao Xi said lightly: "What a glorious thing is Du Jiji who gave you the deer jelly from the divine deer? You can't even remember the appearance of the deer jelly?"
On a cold day, Dou Qishe was sweating profusely. He secretly went to see Xi Yuanda and said, "This, this..."
Du Sansheng said angrily: "Ask you what you want, what are you looking at! Tell me quickly, otherwise I will cure you for disrespect first!" He is the county magistrate of Qiantang, in charge of punishment and thieves, and is the nemesis of a rogue like Dou Qi.
Dou Qi was disgraceful, knelt down and said, "Yes... no, no..."
“Yes, or isn’t it?”
"My piece of deer jelly is a bit similar to this piece, but...but half of it is missing. After more than a month, I can't tell..."
Xi Yuanda suddenly said, "I don't have to ask whether the deer candy is authentic. I want to ask Mrs. Guo first, is this white snake true or not? I heard that people in Ningzhou and Yuezhou use white paint to apply it on the snake body, which can fool the people with fakes and facilitate money fraud. Maybe the white snake is the same. Why not come forward to check it out?"
"This..." Du Sansheng hesitated and said, "The white snake is so magical that it does not avoid people. If we come forward rashly, we will be afraid of disturbing and fleeing and hurting the surrounding people..."
"It is a divine object, so it will not hurt innocent people!" Xi Yuanda snorted coldly and said, "If you don't want to, then I will do it myself." He stretched out his hand, but did not see any action. He pulled out a steel knife from the waist of the yamen behind him and wanted to cut the white snake under the knife. This is Xi Yuanda's way to solve the problem. Since all Zhan Wenjun's plans came from this white snake, killing the white snake first will naturally leave her helpless.
Simple, rough, but very effective!
Bao Xi was shocked and said, "Official Xiling, don't be rash!"
Zhan Wenjun smiled coldly, and Wan Qi stepped forward and stood between him and the White Snake. When the crowd was densely packed, someone shouted loudly: "Kill the White Snake!"
"Kill the White Lady? Who dares? Who dares? I will fight with him!"
"Xi Yuanda, the disaster relief spirit officer of Tianshidao! He is holding a knife, ah, everyone, look... He is going to kill White Lady!"
"What an old dog, the storyteller is right, even Taoists are not good things!"
No one behind could see the situation ahead, but with a radius of five meters, there was a person in each crowd of people excitedly saying that Xi Yuanda killed the white snake, and was spread around by people around him. In a short while, thousands of people watching were all known to everyone. The crowd was indignant, cheering, shouting, and crowding, and the scene was almost out of control!
At this moment, Bao Xi's urgent wisdom was revealed and he scolded: "Officer Xiling, if you want to cause chaos in the people, not to mention you, even Du Jijiu can't refuse to blame! You were anxious for a moment, but Du Jijiu was notorious. How could he feel?"
Xi Yuanda never took the common people seriously, otherwise he would not have wanted to kill the white snake at this moment. But after a hundred people, mountains, seas and seas, looking around, they were full of black heads, and they could not see the edges at all. The sound was hard to see. He felt faint in his heart, and he squinted his eyes and saw Zhu Rui mingling among the crowd in the front row, watching coldly at him. The feeling of powerlessness that came from the bottom of his heart was so frustrating that he was so frustrated that the steel knife in his hand seemed to be weighing thousands of pounds, and finally slowly put it down.
Bao Xi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent out the yamen to comfort him for a while before the crowd gradually calmed down.
"Okay, just think that the white snake is true!"
Xi Yuanda threw the steel knife on the ground and said viciously: "The deer jelly of the divine deer is personally made by my master. Why don't you come and ask me if it's true?"
Li Dingzhi had not spoken yet, and was old and couldn't breathe. He said, "Don't mind, spiritual officials, we are also trying to get the deer jelly back as soon as possible so that everyone can rest assured. Since the spiritual officials said that, I would be honest with you. Is this deer jelly true?"
Xi Yuanda could not admit that it was true deer jerky, otherwise wouldn’t the various plans of these days be a joke? Just as he was about to speak, Zhan Wenjun took a few steps forward and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Official Xi Ling, you can figure it out clearly. At least a dozen people can testify. This white snake was originally a small ordinary green snake. It lived by Qiantang Lake for a long time. After stealing the deer jerky, it turned snow-white. If it weren’t for only half of it, it would probably have been ascended and transformed into a human. After all, Du Jijiu had a profound magical power, and the deer jerky made was a treasure sacred object, which made the spiritual snake also moved the spirit snake's heart to steal..."
Xi Yuanda immediately stopped. If he denies, there are only seven pieces of divine deer and deer jelly in the world, each with its own places. Where can we find other divine deer and deer jelly to turn into white snakes? In other words, wouldn’t it mean that Du Jingzhi is a liar? But if he admits that the deer jelly was stolen by the white snake, it is a strange thing of the gods and is a good story. No matter what, he can’t get to the top of the Binlou. How can he swallow the Zhan family’s wealth?
In the dilemma, there is only the pros and cons. To this day, the matter of Zhan can be put aside first, and it is not impossible to find opportunities in the future. However, Du Jingzhi's great reputation formed by many years of hard work in Jiangdong cannot be damaged at all. This is the foundation for the two masters and disciples to establish themselves. Xi Yuanda only felt that the anger in his abdomen was getting stronger and stronger. He really wanted to ignore the big kill. His fingers tightly, the blue veins swelled up, and slowly let go, his eyes seemed to be about to tear Zhan Wenjun into pieces, saying one by one: "No! This is the deer jelly lost in Zhibin Tower. Thank you for your search by Mrs. Guo, I thank you on behalf of you!"
Zhan Wenjun smiled and said, "Du Jijiu benefits the people. I admire him. If you can do some small things, the spiritual official doesn't have to worry about it!"
Bao Xi twisted his beard and said, "Since the deer jelly is recovered, I can ask the Lingguan to go to the county government to make a certificate later. Zhan Langjun and Dou Langjun also go, sign and seal the case, and the Mingfu can be eliminated."
Xi Yuanda refused to speak, as if he had acquiesced. He thought that Zhan Wenjun's plan was only the only one, and he didn't want to make trouble. He was determined to settle the accounts after the autumn. Zhan Qi and Dou Qi looked at each other, and had nothing to say. They were chess pieces, and they had no choice and had no right to make decisions. Xi Yuanda recognized it. How many of them dared to resist?
But no one could have imagined that seven pieces of deer jelly seized billions of wealth from the seven gentry families, and all six places were successfully completed. Only the Zhan family of Qiantang had the most meticulous layout and had no plans. They used two spiritual officials one after another. It took more than two months, but in the end they were planted on a white snake. Especially the origin of this white snake was not clear, and it was inexplicably planted, which made people speechless.
After the deer and jerky matter was finished, Tianshi said that he was defeated in Qiantang. Xi Yuanda was angry and didn't ask. He was about to turn around and go to the county government to sign and leave, a flute sound suddenly sounded in the sky, long and vague, but he just couldn't walk in his ears. The white snake that had been lying still moved suddenly, and the red letter was spit out, as if he had heard the call of the gods, and he swam along the grass on the river bank to the west.
The crowd suddenly became riots. Bao Xi was afraid of an accident and said loudly: "Prince Du, you can lead the soldiers to divide them into a group, form a wall to stop the people. No one is allowed to approach, and those who violate the situation can be killed immediately."
Although Du Sansheng's official position was above Bao Xi, everyone understood people, so they took the order and spread Bao Xi's words loudly. The soldiers of the yamen were all in their hands, reflecting the sunlight, reflecting Bing Che's murderous intent. Most of the people were afraid of trouble, and no matter how much they liked to join in the fun, they would not be killed immediately on the spot. Therefore, the commotion could be maintained within an acceptable range and would not be out of control.
Zhan Wenjun also immediately gave an order to let all the troops move around the white snake, so that they could not let outsiders approach and hurt the white snake, and prevent the white snake from entering the crowd and being injured. It was strange that the white snake was affected by somehow and only followed the route on the river bank. Such a chaotic situation lasted less than a cup of tea. The white snake stopped in front of a house, and then flashed and drilled into the small hole in the corner of the wall.
Xi Yuanda was stunned for a moment. When he realized that the white snake had disappeared. Zhan Wenjun's voice faintly came into his ears: "... The white snake is a divine object in heaven and earth, and cannot be lost... The owner of this house will not be accused of it myself..." Then Li Dingzhi's trembling voice: "This seems to be the old house of Wei Taipuqing, which has been abandoned for many years, and no one is left to settle..." Then Bao Xi made a decision: "... In this way, you can break in first, find the white snake and then come out... Remember, you must not destroy the objects. If you suffer any damage, you, Guo, will be responsible for..."
Bang!
The gate of the courtyard was knocked open by Zhan Wenjun's subordinates. Everyone rushed in. Xi Yuanda had no time to stop it, and there was no reason or excuse to organize it. His whole body was cold. At this moment, he finally understood what Zhan Wenjun wanted to do!
The weather is as warm as spring, but every ray of sunshine is like sharp ice skates, cutting out millions of blood marks on Xi Yuanda.
Into the bones,
Entering the heart,
Chapter completed!
