Chapter 1327: Killing the Demon with a Horse Lance

In the original drama, as a "congratulatory gift" to Su Wuming for taking office as the Chang'an County Magistrate, a bride was murdered in Chang'an, and the mastermind behind it was Yuan Lai, the man who made Chang'an black tea.

However, Su Ning thought it was a pity that such a young girl died, so he thought about rescuing the bride and wanted to see if changing the plot would confuse the detective Su Wuming.

Suning first summoned the horse demon Ali from the space world. Ali had now gained immortality with Suning's help. "Ali, I will have you become my mount again."

"Master, you are so polite! Since you have granted me immortality, I, Ali, will be your mount forever." The horse demon Ali spoke to Suning in human language.

Suning patted the old man's head with satisfaction, then smiled cheerfully at the horse demon Ali and said, "That's good! Next we'll go out of the city and have a good fight."

"Master, what weapon are you going to use? Are you going to use the Void Blade?"

"How could that be! This time I'm going to use an ordinary horse sculpture."

"..."

Then Suning took out a fine steel lance from the space world, and then directly mounted the horse monster Ali, and quickly headed towards the outside of Chang'an City.

The guards at the city gate knew that Su Ning was the new chief constable of Chang'an County, so they greeted him with a smile, "Captain Su, where are you going?"

"Captain Wang, I'm planning to take advantage of my day off to go out of town and hunt." Suning looked at the acquaintance in front of him and explained with a smile.

"Haha, Captain Su is really so cool." Captain Wang and others who were in charge of guarding the city gate showed envious expressions.

"Captain Wang, let's go to Youranju for a drink later."

"Haha, of course." Sure enough, Suning's words made Captain Wang's face full of smiles.

"..."

Then Suning rode this mighty horse out of Chang'an City, and found the approximate location where the murder occurred in the original drama, and began searching for prey nearby and really started hunting.

You have to know that there was still a dense forest outside the Chang'an City during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and there was actually not much land that was actually developed by humans, so some pheasants and other game were quickly hunted.

At this moment, a very shabby wedding procession appeared from Chang'an City. The wedding procession and the bride's escort were arguing incessantly along the way. Suning immediately knew that the character he was waiting for had appeared.

Soon the groom Song Chai left on the pretext of local etiquette, but in fact he was planning to let the human traffickers he had contacted in advance take his wife away, and then he could get a huge sum of money from the traffickers.

However, the bride Dou Cong's younger brother Dou Yulin had also contacted Yuan Lai's men, ready to ask them to help snatch the bride Dou Cong away, and then destroy the marriage between Dou Cong and Song Chai. Little did he know that such a bold move would cause the bride Dou Cong to lose her life.

Because Dou Yulin had drugged the old horse in advance, the old horse pulling the carriage suddenly went crazy and took the bride Dou Cong directly into the depths of the jungle.

"Ah..." Dou Cong's scream echoed throughout the forest, naturally attracting the attention of Suning who had been waiting for a long time.

At this time, there was no need for Suning to whip or signal. The horse demon Ali quickly took Suning to catch up, while Dou Yulin, who was pretending to chase behind, was dumbfounded.

Soon, Suning caught up with the crazy horse on horseback, and then swung the lance in his hand to cut off the horse's head. The old horse naturally fell down with blood gushing out after losing its head.

However, the carriage still flew forward due to inertia, and naturally the bride Dou Cong fell off the carriage. At this time, Su Ning hurriedly grabbed Dou Cong and put her behind his back.

"Ah..." Dou Cong, who felt like a rootless duckweed, screamed repeatedly.

At this time, Suning asked the poor woman behind him, "Girl, are you okay?"

"I...I'm fine! Thank you so much for rescuing me, brave man."

"It seems that you can't get married today. I will take you back to Chang'an City now."

"Ah..." Dou Cong didn't want to go back to Chang'an City at this time, but it was not easy for her to ask Suning to take her to her husband's house.

Dou Cong also thought that since such an unlucky thing happened today, it was indeed not appropriate to get married today, so it would be more appropriate to return to her parents' home in Chang'an City first.

Dou Cong looked at Su Ning in front of him with lingering fear and said, "Then I'll have to trouble this brave man."

Su Ning casually revealed his identity, "Well, I'm Su Ning, the captain of the Chang'an County Government. You can just call me Captain Su."

"Thank you, Captain Su."

Just as Su Ning was about to take Dou Cong back to Chang'an City, the Yuanlai men that Dou Yulin had contacted suddenly blocked their way, "Put down the bride! Get out!"

"I am Su Ning, the chief constable of Chang'an County. Who are you two?" Su Ning said at this time, naturally trying to suppress his smile, but he found that Dou Yulin was hiding in the dark and observing.

Two burly and strangely strong men rushed towards Su Ning with a sneer, "Humph! Since you are so ignorant, why don't you go down and ask the King of Hell."

"Looking for death!" Suning immediately swung the lance in his hand and killed the two weirdos.

The lance in Suning's hand is made of pure steel, and its weight alone reaches a terrifying 188 kilograms. Every time he swings it, it is like the coming of the god of death.

Although the two monsters in front of him were tall, mighty and ferocious, Suning chopped off their heads with just a flick of his finger as if they were melons and vegetables.

Dou Yulin, who was hiding in the dark and observing at this time, was already scared silly. He looked at Su Ning as if he saw the god of death, and the area under his butt unconsciously turned into a vast ocean.

Then, under Dou Cong's shocked gaze, Suning tied up the tall bodies of the two criminals with ropes, and let the old horse under his crotch drag them all the way back to Chang'an City.

Dou Cong, who had regained some consciousness at this moment, looked at Su Ning with a puzzled expression and asked, "Captain Su, who are these two criminals?"

"I don't know! It seems that your wedding today is very unusual." Su Ning said to Dou Cong behind him with a hint of meaning.

"what……"

Su Ning did not explain too much to Dou Cong. After all, Dou Cong would not understand even if she said too much. All she wanted now was to marry her good husband Song Chai. Naturally, she did not believe that Song Chai was a senior gambler.

Soon, Suning brought Dou Cong back to Chang'an City. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they caused a huge sensation, especially the two dragged corpses which were too eye-catching.

Captain Wang at the city gate was running over in panic. The two bodies Su Ning was dragging were too brutal. "Captain Su, what on earth is going on?"

"I encountered some thieves kidnapping a bride while hunting, so I used my horse sculpture to chop off their heads." At this point, Su Ning looked at Captain Wang and explained, avoiding the main point. "Captain Su is mighty," Captain Wang and the others guarding the city gate couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up.

"Captain Wang is temporarily taking custody of the bodies of these two criminals. I'll have the capturer from Chang'an County come and collect them."

"it is good."

Then Suning took the frightened bride Dou Cong to the Chang'an County Government Office, and then sent several capturers to the city gate to take over the body.

Then he looked at Su Wuming, who was full of confusion, and explained, "Sir County Lieutenant, I was out of town hunting today on my day off. I happened to encounter this bride's horse going crazy, and I just happened to save her. Then two villains showed up and tried to take her away. After I killed them, I went straight back to Chang'an County."

"Oh? It's so weird?" Sure enough, Su Ning's explanation made Su Wuming realize that something was wrong.

"County Lieutenant, the strangest thing is that the crazy horse is covered in blood. It is obvious that someone has tampered with it in advance." At this time, Su Ning looked at Su Wuming in front of him and reminded him.

Su Wuming nodded and looked at the bride Dou Cong beside him and asked, "Well, girl, what's your name?"

"Your Excellency the County Lieutenant, I am Dou Cong, a commoner from Chang'an County. Today I am leaving the city to marry my husband Song Chai. My younger brother Dou Yulin is accompanying me to see the bride off." Dou Cong, who had recovered from the shock, stammered as she explained.

"Then where is your husband Song Chai?" Su Wuming then looked at Dou Cong and continued to ask.

"My Lord, according to the local customs of Chang'an, my husband needs to return home to make preparations."

"..." At this time, Su Wuming also noticed the strangeness of this matter.

Su Ning, standing by, recounted the recent cases. "Sir, those two criminals were clearly after Dou Cong. It reminds me of the bride murder case that started a year ago."

"Oh? The bride's murder case?" Sure enough, Su Wuming's heart tightened, realizing that this case was definitely not a simple one.

"Yes! For over a year now, there have been cases of brides being murdered near Chang'an City. The bodies of these brides have been completely drained of blood, with strange masks forced onto their faces. Furthermore, their bodies will remain incorrupt for a short period of time."

"Well, Captain Su, you are right. It seems that this case is indeed not a simple one."

Soon, the constable from Chang'an County Government brought back the bodies of the two criminals. After Su Wuming's inspection, he concluded that the matter was not simple.

The Dou family, upon receiving the news, took Dou Cong home, and then Su Wuming took the capturers from Chang'an County to the scene outside the city. They indeed discovered the abnormality of the horse Lao Ma, and confirmed that he had been drugged in advance as Su Ning said.

After surveying the scene, Su Wuming suddenly looked at Su Ning in front of him and asked, "Captain Su, what do you think of this incident today?"

"I'm not sure! Solving cases is not my specialty." At this time, Suning pretended to be cool again.

"Captain Su, you're too modest! You've made so many judgments in such a short time, and each one is incredibly accurate. It's clear your abilities are far more than you claim."

"My lord, the county captain, is very complimentary."

"Dou Cong's interpersonal relationships are very simple, and the Dou family doesn't have any obvious mortal enemies, so I suspect it has something to do with the people around Dou Cong."

"Your Excellency is right! The groom, Song Chai, and the bride's brother, Dou Yulin, are very strange. Before this incident, I noticed that they had a bad relationship and were arguing constantly along the way."

"Well, it seems we need to investigate Dou Yulin and Song Chai thoroughly."

At this moment, Jinwuwei Zhonglangjiang Lu Lingfeng, who had received the news, came rushing over. He looked at Su Wuming in front of him with displeasure and asked, "Captain Su, such a big thing happened, why didn't you inform me in advance?"

"In advance? How do you want me to do it in advance, General Zhonglang? Can I predict where there will be a case in advance?" Su Wuming also said to Lu Lingfeng with an unhappy face.

"Hmph! You're so sharp-tongued! I don't know how Judge Dee came to like you."

"..." At this time, Su Wuming and Su Ning looked at each other helplessly, feeling that Lu Lingfeng was still going to be severely beaten by reality.

Then Lu Lingfeng pointed the steamed bun at Su Ning, who was watching the show, and said, "Captain Su, I heard that you killed two criminals today?"

"Replying to the General, yes! These two villains want to rob the bride."

"Humph! Even highway robbery isn't a capital offense. Why are you so brutal, regardless of the laws of the Tang Dynasty?"

"What the General said makes sense! I know I was wrong."

"Humph!"

Then Su Wuming and Su Ning no longer paid any attention to the arrogant child Lu Lingfeng. Instead, they brought their men back to the Chang'an County Government Office and immediately found Song Chai and Dou Yulin.

Through a brief contact, Su Wuming discovered that Song Chai might be a gambler, which increased his suspicion of Song Chai. The focus of the next investigation will naturally be on Song Chai.

As for Dou Yulin, his original intention was to destroy the marriage between Dou Cong and Song Chai, so he did not reveal any clues, but instead made Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng ignore their suspicions about him.

"Sir County Lieutenant, since you're suspicious of Song Chai's departure, I think he should be interrogated immediately. If we let him go like this, it might cause other problems."

"Captain Su, we are just suspecting something right now. We don't have any evidence at all."

"Torture."

"Huh? That's not right! Doesn't this constitute a confession under torture?"

"Sir County Lieutenant, Song Chai is clearly a seasoned gambler. He only needs to be frightened a little."

"No! Captain Su, the fox will eventually reveal its tail, so we don't need to be too impatient."

"Yes! Sir."

At this time, Su Ning stopped talking. After all, Su Wuming was the county lieutenant of Chang'an County. However, the case was too complicated. Soon, the key figure Song Chai would be silenced, and under Su Wuming's nose.

Su Ning naturally noticed the indifference and hypocrisy on Su Wuming's face, and naturally prepared to slap Su Wuming hard in the face with reality, so that he would become as sober and alert as in the original drama.
