Starting as the young master of a medicine shop, he practiced swordsmanship for twenty years.

Chapter 18 Telling lies with open eyes.

The next day, the dawn broke.

The villagers of Liugou Village were woken up by the old village chief early in the morning.

And tell them that everyone must gather at the reception temple today.

As for this notification, it was naturally Liang Cheng who instructed the old village chief to do it.

After confirming with Lu Xuan last night, those strange things will not appear in Liugou Village for a long time in the future.

Liang Cheng would not be foolish enough to tell the truth about the deaths of the two Liugou villagers and three other militia soldiers.

Does he also want him to tell the villagers of Liugou Village that there is a dirty thing in their village and that those people were also killed by this weird and terrifying dirty thing?

If Liang Cheng were to tell this truth, the villagers of Liugou Village would probably fall into panic the next moment, causing chaos.

The Reception Temple in Liugou Village!
Liang Cheng stood in the middle of the hall, followed by several yamen runners.

However, these yamen runners were carrying a wooden board together, which was covered with white cloth.

Seeing that most of the villagers in Liugou Village had gathered, Liang Cheng gradually spoke.

"Okay, be quiet!"

After Liang Cheng shouted loudly, the originally noisy and bustling hall suddenly became quiet and silent.

Everyone's attention was focused on Liang Cheng, including Lu Xuan who was sitting on chairs on both sides of the hall.

Seeing that the hall had become quiet, Liang Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke again.

"After this captain's investigation last night, I have discovered the cause of death of those people."

"Furthermore, the real culprit they killed will be executed on the spot. This kind of situation will never happen again in your Liugou Village."

"Everyone can rest easy now."

Liang Cheng decided to make it short and concluded the murder case in Liugou Village with just a few words, and then closed the case in a hurry.

"really?"

"Great."

"I didn't expect that the Chief Constable would find out the cause of death of Dalong, Tiezhu and the others so quickly."

"From now on, no one needs to worry anymore!"

"The head catcher is wise!"

…………

Soon after Liang Cheng finished speaking, the voices of the villagers from Liugou Village began to speak.

All the villagers in Liugou Village looked happy and expressed their gratitude to Liang Cheng.

Ever since this incident happened, the villagers of Liugou Village have been living in fear.

The villagers didn't even dare to pick medicinal herbs from the mountains. They were in constant fear, fearing that they would encounter the real murderer who killed those people.

Even before dark, every household had their doors closed and people were shivering in their beds.

Among the villagers of Liugou Village, only a figure ran out in small steps. It was a woman.

The woman had tears of sadness on her face. After she came in front of Liang Cheng, she bent her knees as if she wanted to kneel down.

"Captain, where is the real murderer who killed my boss now? Please give me justice."

Seeing this, Liang Cheng took a quick step forward and stretched out the knife boot in his hand to stop the woman from kneeling.

"I've already said that the real culprit has been executed on the spot."

After saying that, Liang Cheng waved to the yamen runners behind him.

"You guys, why don't you take out your things?"

"Yes, boss!"

After receiving the signal from the boss, several yamen runners raised the wooden boards in their hands and then pulled away the white cloth covering the scene.

A strange-looking skeleton appeared on the wooden board, seemingly the skeleton of some creature. However, before anyone could get a closer look, it was covered again by the white cloth in a few breaths.

Lu Xuan was speechless when he saw this scene. He had already guessed what Liang Cheng was planning.

He is lying with his eyes open. It seems that Liang Cheng is very suitable to be an official of the imperial court.

However, being a small constable in the county town is a bit of a waste of talent.

"This is a ferocious beast with a highly venomous nature. Those people died from its poison."

"From what I've learned, the poison of this beast can drive the victim mad, causing them to feel no pain and become self-harming."

"The reason why those dead people were able to stand up again was also because of this poison."

"This poison makes outsiders think those people are dead. In fact, they are not dead at all, they are still hanging on to their last breath. This is why the dead can move."

Liang Cheng spoke in a series without pausing for a moment, his expression remained unchanged, leaving no room for flaws.

The villagers of Liugou Village all looked serious and listened to Liang Cheng quietly.

Of course, I don’t know whether I understood it or not, or maybe I wasn’t listening at all.

"Captain, could you please let me see what kind of beast that is? I..."

The old village chief was about to speak when Liang Cheng interrupted him.

"Well, old village chief, now that the murder case in Liugou Village has been solved and the real culprit has been executed on the spot, I, the captain, will take my leave."

"There's no need to look at the beast. This is evidence, and it's extremely important. I'll take it back to the county and hand it over to the county magistrate for a decision."

Liang Cheng decisively rejected the old village chief's request.

Because he and his men found the skeleton of the ferocious beast in the middle of the night.

He found several different animal skeletons and pieced them together randomly. If you look at it closely, you will be able to see through it at a glance.

"Old village chief, don't worry or overthink it, Liugou Village is safe.

There is only one such ferocious beast in the world, and it will never come back to harm anyone again."

Finally, Liang Cheng said something meaningful.

The old village chief was already confused, but after hearing Liang Cheng's meaningful words, he finally understood.

He has lived for most of his life, how could he not hear the hidden meaning in Liang Cheng's words?

Liang Cheng meant that Liugou Village was safe and he should not worry about other unnecessary things.

...........
Outside the entrance of Liugou Village, dust was rolling and flying all over the loess road.

One of the carriages was guarded by five or six horses in front, behind, and on both sides, and disappeared into the sky like the moon surrounded by stars.

And those who left were Lu Xuan, Liang Cheng and others.

Lu Xuan, sitting in the carriage, lifted the gray cloth curtain behind him and looked deeply in the direction of Liugou Village.

Ghostly shadow?

Until now, Lu Xuan is still thinking about the strange black shadow he encountered last night.

After all, this was the first time Lu Xuan encountered something weird, an extraordinary weirdness that actually appeared in front of him and gave him a big health pack of 50 system points.

50 system points. Even if Lu Xuan swallowed up the Lu family pharmacy, he would not be able to get so many system points.

Therefore, Lu Xuan kept in mind this strange thing that could bring him a large number of system points.

Lu Xuan had already made up his mind that he would always keep an eye on the affairs of Liugou Village.

If this strange black shadow is really as Lu Xuan expected.

If it is not dead yet, it means that Lu Xuan can kill it again to obtain a large number of system points.

In this way, Lu Xuan can deduce the skills without limit, and his strength will no longer have a bottleneck, so he can improve without any worries.
