【335】Changan Suspect(1/2)
The ancient capital of Chang'an is a historical capital. After thirty dynasties and 17 countries, it has been built and revised, and has been renovated and built. In terms of prosperity and majesty, it is also unique in this world.
Although there were wars in the three sides, since Sanhuang entered Chang'an, Chang'an, which was once controlled by the Ten Changshou, became a dangerous person, was wiped out in a few days. All the forces of the eunuchs and vassal eunuchs were eliminated one by one, but they returned peace in Chang'an.
As a result, the former forbidden curb was pulled, the night market started again, and Chang'an night gradually began to transform into a city that never sleeps.
Compared with other places, the Tang Dynasty was simply a pure land in a peaceful and prosperous era.
Bilu Restaurant.
With the opening of the forbidden salute, restaurants and other industries suddenly became the most lively place on Chang'an night. People from all walks of life and wealthy families gathered here, and they were drunk without returning home.
"Something strange happened in Chang'an recently. Have you heard of the Wangmen Wangshou incident a few days ago?"
"Wangmen Wangshou, are you talking about the Dongmen store selling cloth?"
"That's right, come over and I'll tell you in detail."
At the wine table, a middle-aged man with a goatee waved his hand and said softly in a very mysterious way.
Seeing his face flushed, his eyes fluttered, his words trembled, his palms trembled, and he was obviously drunk.
Seeing that there seemed to be something else in this matter, the other people immediately turned their bodies over and acted as if they were humbly asking for advice.
"A few days ago, the wife of the shopkeeper of Wangmenwang Shop, for some reason, actually leaped down from the third-floor windowsill with a wooden carving man in his arms and fell to the ground, which made her head tragically and bloody. That scene, tsk."
A person next to him immediately asked: "Why did you jump off the building with a wooden carving?"
"This matter is strange. The shopkeeper and his wife have always been in love. Logically speaking, no matter what conflict arises between the couple, they will not do such a thing in anger. According to the people at the scene, after Wang landed, he had a smile on his face and stared at the wooden man in his arms."
"hiss!"
As soon as these words were said, everyone felt inexplicably cold. Although they were not sure what was going on, they felt very furious in their hearts.
"What's the trick of the wooden man?" someone asked immediately.
"It's just an ordinary human-shaped wooden man, with no face or distinctiveness, but it looks like he has a sense of evil spirit to show people. I don't know who made it. It's really weird. Remember, in recent days, don't touch any wooden man or something. A few spiritual wives in Chang'an City said, "Is this a thing evil."
"oh oh."
Although they all drank a lot, these people still kept this in mind.
It's midnight, and it's late at night.
Gradually, it was time to part with the group. Several people said goodbye to each other and set out on their way home.
"Himmer!" Walking into the alley, one person stood by the wall and walked slowly forward.
He has been walking in this alley for many years. Even with his eyes closed, he can walk home without making any mistakes. However, because he drank too much wine, he couldn't help but feel dizzy and he was a little trembling when walking.
Anyone who sees this scene knows that this is a stinky alcoholic who has drunk too much.
Click!
Suddenly, I felt something stuck under my feet. The man was unstable and fell to the ground. He fell heavily and hit the ground with his face. Two strands of nosebleeds flowed out of his nostrils.
"Who, is there any morality? He actually throws things around." He sat up angrily and cursed. However, when he saw the appearance of the object in front of him clearly through the moonlight, the man was stunned and had an incredible expression on his face.
This is actually a wooden man!
It is hard to imagine why a wooden man fell to the ground in such a place. This person knows that there is no carpenter shop nearby.
In the flash of lightning, he instantly thought of what his friend just said.
Could it be...
"Ah!" Without any hesitation, he kicked the wooden man away with one foot. He immediately crawled forward with both hands and feet. Even when he was drunk, his speed should not be underestimated at all. He quickly left the wooden man behind.
Turning through an alley, the man immediately gasped against the wall and did not stay. He immediately ran forward. At this moment, only after returning home could he feel at ease.
However……
Click!
As an unknown thing tripped under his feet, the man fell out instantly, and his already injured nose was hit hard again. He looked back.
Another wooden man!
How could he meet two wooden men in one breath? Unlimited fear suddenly emerged in his heart.
Something happened! Something must have happened!
The strange thing that my friend said appeared on me.
Without any hesitation, the man got up again and continued to run ahead, running...
The next day.
Shi Lang is a "Golden Official". He seems nice, but in fact he is just a person who transports peeing buckets for others. Although this job is tiring, bitter and smelly, his income is good. After all, there are still a few people who are willing to do it.
The sun was rising and the genius was bright. Shi Lang was dragging a cart alone and encountered two barrels of "cargo" full of "cargo". This kind of filth could not be shipped in Chang'an. A special person needed to transport it outside the city and then find a unified place to throw it away.
With the light of the sky, Shi Lang had just walked past the corner of the alley and saw two figures leaning against the wall not far ahead, motionless, with an extremely intimate shape, like a man and a woman hugging her.
"I don't know shame, I'm not ashamed." Shi Lang said in his heart, and continued to tow the truck.
Even if the people of Chang'an are open, they will not do such things on the streets. This is the first time Shi Lang has been a lucky gold official who has been in such a long time. He can't help but be curious. When he passed by, he couldn't help but glance.
It doesn't matter if you don't glance, something happened at a glance, which almost scared Shi Lang's soul.
I saw that the two people against the wall were just a man and a wooden man.
The wooden man hugged the man's waist with his arms. The man leaned his head against the wooden man's shoulder. He showed a strange smile on his face, but his eyes were dull and he looked extremely weird.
"You, are you okay?" Shi Lang came to his senses, felt a little angry in his heart, and couldn't help but ask.
But the other party was still motionless and had no intention of replying at all.
Shi Lang had no choice but to spit, turned his head and dragged the cart forward. At this moment, the wooden man and the man couldn't stand any longer and fell to the ground obliquely, just as they hit a wooden barrel on the cart.
Bang!
The wooden barrel fell directly to the ground, and the filth that was filled with inside was pouring out, scattering the ground all over the ground.
When he smelled a foul stench, Shi Lang almost vomited out a lot of disgust. He would definitely not have breakfast in the morning when he was in their business. This is common sense, and fortunately, Shi Lang did not spit out anything.
He quickly looked back and cursed: "Are you fucking sick? You're also hitting the feces bucket."
But the man was lying in the feces on the ground, but his body was still motionless. He looked like he was lying there and practicing breathing. Instead, the wooden man next to him trembled without anyone controlling it. Then he supported his arms and got up from the feces on the ground.
This scene shows Shi Lang's hair trembling all over his body. How could a wooden man move by himself?
I've encountered a monster!
Before he could escape in fear, the wooden man shook violently and could not control himself. A stream of black gas floated out of its body, like a gas leak.
Hissing!
A large amount of black gas filled the air, and some of them floated towards Shi Lang.
"Yes, there's a ghost!" He didn't have to think too much, he turned around and ran away immediately, and soon abandoned the cart and ran away without a trace, leaving the black air still spreading in place.
...
Chang'an is haunted, and wooden people seek life.
This incident quickly caused panic in Chang'an. When people continued to go to the yamen to report the case one after another, the constables of the Tang Dynasty discovered that there were 16 people who died because of the wooden man.
Although these sixteen people died differently, they were surrounded by a wooden man when they died. Such strange things naturally made people feel uneasy. When the night arrived, the originally prosperous night market became much more bleak.
But even though many constables were investigating it for investigation, they still failed to find any useful clues, and innocent people still died one or two every day.
As a result, Chang'an's largest constable agency, "Shencai Hall", could not sit still. People were dead every day and there was no clue to investigation. Seeing the more and more corpses sent to the Shencai Hall, Tie Feiying, the head of the Shencai Hall, could not help but leave a cold sweat.
He has been a headmaster for many years and has never encountered such a strange case.
Fortunately, Tie Feiying had a cousin, who was an official from the Seven Star Prison. Tie Feiying knew a little about the matters in charge of the Seven Star Prison, so he immediately came to his house and brought the file to visit his cousin.
The Seven Stars Prison was previously ordered to be disbanded by the Ten Eunuchs, so members of them either took a vacation at home or were sent to various rebel troops to help.
Tie Feiying's cousin Tiebao is the former. When he came to the door, he happened to see Tiebao watering several flower beds in the yard at home, which was leisurely and comfortable.
"Cousin, you have to help me." Tie Feiying walked up to me and said.
"Flying Eagle? Why do you, a busy man, come to me for time?" Tiebao put down the kettle and said.
"Cousin, it's hard to describe it. Look at this." Tie Feiying reached out and handed over the file he had prepared.
Tiebao knew his cousin's nature. If he hadn't encountered something really powerless, he would never have taken the initiative to come to him.
After taking the file and starting to read it, Tiebao's expression gradually became serious: "There is no doubt that this should be a monster who is causing trouble in Chang'an. It's really ironic. Chang'an is the base camp of the Seven Stars Prison, and evil spirits dare to come here."
"Cousin, you can't let this happen anymore, otherwise the black hat on my brother's head will not be able to be kept. You must help me."
Tiebao nodded: "Please leave it on me, follow me, let's go find someone. I don't feel that this matter is simple, I still have to find a master to help."
Tie Feiying asked curiously: "Who is this master?"
"The bronze toad official of the Seven Stars Prison, my boss Zuo Zonghao."
...
When a person is in a too high position, the lower the things are often less visible and invisible.
Qin Yuesheng lived in the palace for several days, and devoted all his energy to the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Nine Ages and the Martial God Catalogue. He was so cultivating that he had lost his mind and even lost his concept of time.
