Immortal Sword Pavilion

Chapter 21 Chaos in the Ancestral Hall (please collect, recommend)
At night, the loneliness is bleak, and the moonlight is lonely.

The hustle and bustle of the day has been replaced by tranquility. Occasionally, one or two gongs sounded, but under the light of the moon, the patrolling people in the village were reminding the dry weather to be careful of candles, and there were some crisp insects.

"Lord Xiao, during the day, the three of you accompanied the village chief Li Sanhuai to inspect the river, and there is nothing unusual about Daoist Shen?" Wang Hu, the head catcher, looked at Xiao Zhan who was sitting upright, and said in a deep voice.

"Let's put the matter of the river god aside for now, the Taoist priest of Ziyang temple is following up on this matter.

In addition, in the village during the day, the official found that some villagers controlled evil puppets to harm people.

Therefore, it is suspected that the sacrifice of the river god may be related to the abduction and trafficking of children in the village. "Xiao Zhan pondered, and took out the portrait of the man that Zhou Yu told about.

"This is the portrait of the person who controls the demon puppet. Don't disturb this person for the time being, and see if you can follow the clues and find out who is behind the scenes."

"This subordinate understands." Wang Hu's pupils shrank, suppressing the horror in his eyes.

After memorizing the people on the screen, under Xiao Zhan's gaze, he burned the white paper painting in the candlelight.

"Tomorrow is one more day. Take this opportunity to inquire about Li Sanhuai's attitude towards this matter...to see if he has participated in it."

"Li Sanhuai is the head of a village, even if he has not participated in the kidnapping and trafficking of children by the villagers, at least he knows a thing or two about it.

If this matter is really that the villagers are covering each other, and they don't know how to deal with it at that time, please show me, so that the humble staff can grasp the measure. "Wang Hu said.

In his mind, it is absolutely impossible for the head of a village to turn a blind eye to this matter.

Since it is certain that there are villagers who have harmed people with evil methods, why bother to distinguish, and arresting people directly with evidence, wouldn't it be easier.

"It's easy to arrest people, but at this time the God of the River is involved... the matter of Shinto is very involved, and it is not a matter of one village." Xiao Zhan explained patiently.

"You should investigate according to the portrait first. If there is conclusive evidence, let's see what Li Sanhuai does first. I hope he is not the mastermind behind the scenes."

Although he can directly refute Wang Hu's questioning from a small captor with official authority, but in this way, he will inevitably be sloppy in handling things and will not use his best efforts.

Moreover, this move can also test whether Wang Butou and the village head Li are in the same boat.

Dangmosi has always been cautious when going out to handle cases. After all, evil monsters have too many ways to confuse people, so many times they can't even trust the local government.

"Understood." Wang Hu nodded, feeling the solemnity in Xiao Zhan's words, and his expression became a little dignified.

"Bang, bang..." At this moment, there was a special knock on the door.

"It's okay, it's mine, it's not because of special circumstances." Wang Hu pricked up his ears, and quickly explained to Xiao Zhan.

"En." Xiao Zhan nodded, not talking too much, showing his trust in Wang Hu.

Watching the former open the door, he picked up the tea on the table and drank it. The tea was a bit dry, but aftertaste carefully, it was not sweet.

"What's the matter?" At the same time, Wang Hu opened the door, and saw a policeman standing outside the door. He looked around, but no one was watching.

"Come in."

"Cun Zhang Li sent someone to come and said that he has something important to discuss with Mr. Wang." Zhang Qing, the policeman, went into the room and said after saluting the two adults in front of him.

"It's almost Haishi, why can't we talk about it tomorrow?" Wang Hu glanced at Xiao Zhan, remembering what the two of them discussed just now, he couldn't help frowning.

"The same is true for humble officials, but the visitor only said that this matter is of great importance, and only at this time can I tell the adults." Zhang Qing bit the bullet and explained.

"Where is Zhao Si now?"

"I'm knocking at the hall downstairs." Zhang Qing said quickly.

"Lord Xiao, I'm going to an appointment to see what's going on, what's your opinion?" Wang Hu looked at Xiao Zhan.

"I'm afraid there will be a disturbance in the daytime affairs. You must pay attention to safety when you go here. I will follow in the dark." Xiao strategically thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

"Zhang Qing, you have guarded the door as a cover. If Master Xiao and I have not returned at the time of the child, you should return to Wu'an County immediately and inform the county magistrate that there are monsters in Hegu Village, and send people to quell the chaos." Wang Hu said in a deep voice.

"I understand, my lord, please don't worry." Zhang Qing's expression turned serious, knowing that this matter is of great importance, he said solemnly.

"That's it, go to the humble job." Wang Hu calmed down, said to Xiao Zhan, and went out.

After a while, Zhao Si and Zhao Si downstairs followed the people sent by the village chief to take advantage of the night and left quickly.

"That person in the daytime acted decisively. If it wasn't for the village chief's temptation at this moment, that person might take the opportunity to make a move..."

Watching Wang Hu and others go away, and after confirming that no one was watching, Xiao Zhan glanced at Zhang Qing outside the door, jumped out of the window, and escaped into the night.

……

"Village chief, it's not good, village chief..." In front of a certain mansion, a plainly dressed young man patted the porter.

"Why are you so panicked?" The gatekeeper impatiently opened the half-closed door.

"Brother Er Niu, hurry up and inform the village chief. For some reason, the officers and soldiers in the daytime suddenly broke into the ancestral ancestral hall. Now the elders of the second clan have already brought people there." The young man said hurriedly.

"What?" Er Niu, who was guarding the gate, was shocked when he heard this.

Immediately, a scene of officers and soldiers rioting in the ancestral hall and injuring the clansmen appeared in his mind, and he said immediately.

"Gen Zi, you wait here, don't run anywhere."

Soon, the house was brightly lit, and after a commotion, Li Sanhuai trotted all the way, followed by a burly green-skinned man with clothes in one hand and a lamp in the other, obviously he was Erniu brother Genzi was talking about.

"Genzi, hurry up, lead the way." Li Sanhuai yelled as soon as Fang Fang went out, and at the same time took the clothes from Er Niu's hands, and put them on as he walked.

street corner.

Li Kui, who controlled the goblins during the day, looked at the village head and his party running towards the ancestral hall, and immediately crushed the yellow talisman in his hand.

"Uncle, the village head is out."

……

Shrine, hall.

"Where's the village head?" Wang Hu looked at the ancestral tablet on the tablet, then glanced at the empty people in the hall, and frowned suddenly, looking at the young man who led the way.

"The village head is at the back of the hall, sir, come with me." The young man surnamed Li bowed his head respectfully.

"However, the village chief has explained to the villain before. It is best that only two of you know what we are talking about this time, so please sir..."

"Zhao Si, you stay here." Wang Hu thought for a while, glanced at the ordinary young man, and said to the following policemen.

"I obey the orders." Zhao Si cupped his fists, glanced at the young man, and stood guard outside the hall.

"My lord, please come in, the village chief has been waiting for a long time."

The young man didn't care about Wang Hu's actions, he just pointed to the bright hall, and said respectfully, with a hint of disdainful coldness in his eyes.

"Hmph." Wang Hu looked at the doorman, remembered what Xiao Zhan said before, snorted coldly, and stepped in.

After a while, the door was closed tightly, but Zhao Si, who was guarding the door for a long time, suddenly changed his expression, and only heard a roar from inside the room.

"Li Sanhuai, you are so courageous, just murder the court officials." Amidst Wang Hu's frightened and angry voice, Zhao Simeng pulled out the steel knife and was about to rush into the door.

Boom!

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and a big hole was suddenly broken in the door and window next to it.

I saw Wang Hu's burly body, like a leaking sandbag, flying out of the house and slamming into the huge wooden pillar in the hall.

People are still in mid-air with hot blood, spraying out.

"My lord." Zhao Si changed color in shock and was about to rush over.

"Be careful behind you." Wang Hu, who fell to the ground, reminded him while spurting blood in spite of the pain in his chest.
