Chapter 17 Dog Rong(1/2)
After making Shi Qing's family clear, Shi Potian did not say that he would stay in Xuzhou City and wait for jokes.
Well, in those detective stories, those who insist on returning to the crime site after doing the case are actually mental illnesses to a certain extent!
It may be because I have no confidence since I was a child, or it may be because of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Just like when you go out at night, you may have suspicions several times whether the lights at home are turned off...
This is a disease! It needs to be cured!
Obviously, Shi Potian did not suffer from this unconfident intermittent memory disorder, and he also had no choice but to see that Shi Qing and his family were kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy. So, after finishing the matter, he accompanied Dongfang Bai and Monkey out of the city overnight.
After leaving the city, the group of three didn't know where to go. After learning from the monkey that Lan Li asked them to see the prosperity of Chang'an, Shi Potian followed him.
Chang'an City, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is a rare place where dragon energy gathers in the world. Since you travel far away, you must naturally observe it!
A group of three people were whipping up.
Cough cough cough.
With the stones and sky around, the three of them had horses and would not walk away on foot.
And just as the three of them set out towards Chang'an City, a terrifying thing began to spread in Chang'an City.
But at some point, there was an inexplicable strange story in Chang'an City.
It is said that at night, there will be strange tall soldiers walking on the streets at night. If someone meets them in the middle of the night, part of the tall soldiers will be taken away by these tall soldiers.
This is not a thrilling story to scare children!
Because in the past month, the county government in Chang'an City has received no less than a hundred cases of Gaoda soldiers murdering the people.
And the government offices in Chang'an City felt inexplicable and had no way to check these tall ghost soldiers who could not find out at all.
This is the thing. After asking about the time when this almost 'ghost' creature appeared, the city's constables were specially rushing to wander the streets at night.
Who would have thought that they actually met them?
But what can I do if I encounter it?
Seventeen constables scattered in the city met three tall ghost soldiers, and six of them were removed from their bodies.
Some lack hands, some lack kidneys, and some are even more unlucky, and the heart was directly removed by the ghost soldier and died.
Even if ordinary constables have a certain martial arts foundation, they will not be able to harm these ghostly beings at all.
After obtaining the certification of this experience, the constables in Chang'an City were unwilling to contact each other again. After seeing the matter develop like this, the county magistrate of Chang'an County was unable to report it directly to his immediate superior in the court, and told the matter of the ghost soldiers in a vain way.
In fact, such things happen elsewhere, and are usually handed over to the mercenary union to solve the problem. As long as the wealthy families in the city raise funds once and draw a reward, there will always be powerful people to eliminate the strange that has been spread.
But Chang'an City is different!
As the country of Daqian, the Mercenary Chamber of Commerce and the power in Chang'an City have been greatly weakened.
This is like Linjiang City back then.
After the matter was reported to the court, it was not possible to resolve it immediately.
In the next seven days, the Chang'an County Magistrate did not get a accurate news. Instead, the strange evolution of ghosts in the city became more and more intense. Not only were the ordinary people in the city panic, but even some dignitaries living in the wealthy areas were frightened by rumors, fearing that the parts on their bodies would be removed by this inexplicable ghost thing at night.
Everyone is scared.
But, the Dakan court seemed to have no concern about this matter. Even though many wealthy people in the city joined forces to entrust a censor and pointed it out when they went to court, the Gan Emperor didn't care. He even scolded the censor who spoke in person, saying that the censor was fussing and actually brought these ghosts and gods to the court for discussion. It was really bad!
With the characterization given by Emperor Gan, this strangeness has become a taboo in the court.
Obviously, behind this incident, it is likely that it has something to do with Emperor Dagan, or that Emperor Gan must know what is hidden behind the ghost soldier incident.
But since the emperor doesn't want to talk, how could they ask questions like those ministers?
The emperor is unwilling to solve the problem, so what can others do?
Therefore, the ghost soldiers in Chang'an City became a taboo in Chang'an City. Even if everyone knows its existence, no one dared to target "it" for a while!
Rich people find more bodyguards for themselves, while poor people try not to go out at night. Anyway, the ghost soldier only ran out at night to commit crimes. As long as everyone doesn’t go out at night, it really has no impact on life... It’s weird!
As a country of one country, Chang'an City is not a small city. Every night, the main streets in the city are brightly lit all night. It is called the city that never sleeps without any exaggeration!
Such a city actually banned the night sky? The disadvantages brought by it are not a small matter!
But as the cases of ghost soldiers continue to occur, everyone is in awe of horror, for their own lives, and reduces the frequency of going out at night. If there is nothing important, they will not choose to go out at night.
But even so, cases of ghost soldiers in Chang'an City continued to happen at night.
When Dongfang Bai and the other two encountered such a situation when they felt Chang'an.
In the evening, in an old-fashioned store selling mutton foam, Dongfangbai and the other two sat at a table, eating mutton steamed buns while listening to other customers in the store talking about strange stories about the ghost soldier.
"You don't know that the ghost of that soldier only emerges at night.
It is said that the soldier's ghost is nearly eleven feet tall, half a head higher than some people's courtyard walls. If you go to the yard to get up at night and see a head floating outside the courtyard walls, then don't make a sound, because what you see is probably the ghosts of those soldiers!
But don't panic, either!
As long as you don’t make a sound and hide at home obediently, the soldier’s ghost will definitely not break into your house and kill you!”
"A man of eleven feet tall?"
"Have you seen a storyteller?"
"I'm afraid I'm not fooling us?"
"Storyteller, do you know how tall an eleven-foot person is?"
Halfway through the story, a noise sounded in the mutton soup restaurant.
Everyone has heard of the so-called ghost soldier, but like the storyteller, who has set a very vivid character and set some rules for the ghost soldier, this storyteller is the first one!
This naturally aroused dissatisfaction among many people.
You should know that this ghost soldier is not the supernatural stories in the storybook, but the monsters that actually exist in Chang'an City. If anyone who listens to the story really puts the living habits of the ghost soldier in the story into reality, he will probably die and never know how he died!
Such a matter of life-related matter cannot be said casually!
Seeing that everyone who heard the book was dissatisfied, the storyteller seemed to find that he had committed public anger. According to common sense, he should apologize now, right?
He doesn't!
Not only did I not change the topic, I also insisted on my own theory and started arguing with other diners in the restaurant!
"The ghost of the soldier was seen with my own eyes a few nights ago!"
"Can you survive after meeting?"
"Where did you see it?"
"That's it! That's it!"
"It was when I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a head floating outside the yard wall. When I saw me looking at him, I smiled at me..."
"Then what?"
"Yes, then, you said it!"
"Say it! Say it quickly!"
"And...and then I didn't know, and I fainted from scare!"
When the storyteller talked about this, he seemed to recall the experience that night, and a look of fear flashed in his eyes.
And just then.
Everyone is listening to something wonderful.
Everyone heard the sound of knocking on the window in their ears.
"The sound came out there."
"How did I hear someone knocking on the window?"
"We...we are on the second floor..."
As the sound of knocking on the window became more and more anxious, many people in the mutton restaurant looked at the surrounding windows with nervous expressions. After a while, a group of people really found that a window in the west was trembling rhythmically with the sound.
Looking at the posture of falling together, it seemed like a hand was really knocking on the window outside...
"this...."
"Two floors, eleven feet long..."
"We, do we want to open the window and take a look?"
"You want to go."
"Shopkeeper, store owner check out!"
"Call someone out and have a look..."
"My God, you dare...Damn!!!"
"Damn it! It's a ghost!!!"
Before the crowd could finish their words, they saw the window on the second floor suddenly being beaten open. Then, they felt an ugly but surprisingly large "head" looking out of the window.
"Run!!!"
