Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 159 Don't come to me
Hu Qian was a little puzzled for a moment.

How could Qian Bohai be his army.

But Wang Shuzheng immediately said, "What? Don't you believe it?"

Hu Qian said: "Since the adults have said it, how can I not believe it..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Shuzheng, "This official has always been fair and fair in his work, come here!"

Immediately behind, the soldier stepped forward and said, "My lord."

"Tell him about Qian Bohai's situation."

"Yes! Qian Bohai has been with the adults since he was ten years old. Because of his ability to handle affairs, he served in the Chinese army, and he was found in the Ministry of War, and he is also on the register."

Wang Shuzheng said: "Master Hu, do you have any questions now?"

Hu Qian said: "Whether it's the Chinese army or ordinary people, I will definitely handle it impartially and give him justice."

Wang Shuzheng said: "Fair? You put it lightly.

People were picked up from the Changchun Building.

The old bustard also said that she watched people get into the sedan chair.

The shopkeeper of the inn did not see Xiaoyu enter the door.

It is obvious that Qi Dacai, the bearer, killed the man. What more questions do you have?

Hu Qian was slightly taken aback, "How does your lord know this?"

Wang Shuzheng said: "Why, are you afraid that others will know about this matter?

Or are you trying to hide something? "

Hu Qian said: "The lower officials don't understand what your lord means."

"Well, I'm here to ask you, have you seen Qi Dacai's mother, Qi Xingshi, last night?"

Hu Qian said without raising his head, "I haven't seen it."

Wang Shuzheng had already prepared a set of speeches, and he just waited for Hu Qian to respond with "seen".

In the name of Hu Qian accepting punishment-style bribes, he will play him in the first book.

However, after preparing for a long time, he never expected that Hu Qian would directly deny it.

He froze for a moment, and shouted: "Lie!
It rained heavily that day, Qi Xingshi knelt at the gate of the yamen, obviously you came up to ask..."

Hu Qian smiled and said: "Your Excellency has good eyesight! It rained so heavily that day, how did your Excellency see the officials?
Or, did your lord already arrive at the county seat that day? "

Zhao Shuzheng was at a loss for words, snorted and said: "Don't worry about this, just tell me, is there such a thing?"

Hu Qian shook his head and said: "No, if your lord has any witnesses, you might as well call them out directly, otherwise you just say this empty-handedly, then can I also say that your lord has accepted Wang Shengdong's bribe and came here to reverse the case for him? .”

Wang Zhengshu stood up suddenly and said, "What nonsense!

As the commander-in-chief of Chengshan and a member of the imperial court, how could I do such a thing! "

Hu Qian patted the gavel, and shouted: "Since you know that you are only the general soldier of Chengshan, not an official of our Guobei County, just sit there honestly.

As the main hall of Guobei County, let alone you as a general, you have to stand aside even if you are the first rank in the dynasty! "

Wang Shuzheng was born as a general, and he was not good at speaking. At this moment, Hu Qian robbed him of his confession, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he couldn't speak anymore.

Hu Qian shouted at this time: "Master Xu!

You said you didn't see Xiaoyu come in, is this true? "

Shopkeeper Xu said: "My lord, Caomin really didn't see Xiaoyu coming in..."

Hu Qian slapped the gavel again, "Do you know why the people call me Daxian Hu?"

"The grassroots don't know..."

"That's because I have supernatural powers, no matter what kind of lies, there is nowhere for me to hide!

I advise you to think again, so as not to make mistakes! "

Shopkeeper Xu said: "My lord, Caomin really doesn't know..."

Hu Qian laughed, "Let me ask you, since Qian Bohai is Wang Zongbing's central army, why do you say he is a tea dealer?"

Shopkeeper Xu said: "My lord, Cao Min was wronged. That's what Qian Bohai himself said. How could Cao Min know what he wanted to say."

"Okay! Just remember what you said!"

Wang Shuzheng saw him wandering around without a clue, so he couldn't help but angrily said: "Master Hu, is this how you handle cases?

What is the difference between these methods and the wild man in the mountains?

In vain you still claim to be some kind of Hu Daxian, from my own point of view, it is nothing more than false appearance. "

Hu Qian didn't answer, but turned to the bustard and said, "Buddhist in Cangchunlou, you can be sure that the female corpse is Xiaoyu."

The old bustard didn't know why he asked again, but just nodded and said, "My lord, that is indeed Xiaoyu."

Hu Qian looked at Shopkeeper Xu again, "Shopkeeper Xu, you may be sure that the male corpse is Qian Bohai."

"My lord, it must be Qian Bohai."

"One of you said you saw Xiaoyu getting into the sedan chair, and the other said you didn't see Xiaoyu enter the door, right?"

"Yes."

Hu Qian said: "In the end, Xiaoyu died in front of Tongsheng Inn, then disappeared from the morgue, was murdered again, tied stones around her body, and threw it in the moat.

As for Qian Bohai, after Xiaoyu's death, he also disappeared without a trace, and was finally found dead in the moat. "

Wang Shuzheng said: "Master Hu, I am really disappointed in you more and more."

Hu Qian nodded and said: "Since my lord thinks that Qi Da is the murderer, then I will send him and several other bearers over to hear what they have to say."

Wang Shuzheng said: "It should have been like this long ago."

Hu Qian then waved Wang Shisan to bring Qi Dacai and the other three bearers.

When the four arrived in the hall, they immediately fell to their knees.

"Grassmen refer to Master Qingtian."

Hu Qian said: "Qi Dacai, tell me, what happened on the day of the incident?"

Qi Dacai said: "The villain was waiting for work in front of the Tongsheng Inn that day, but later the waiter Shunzi came out and gave the money, saying that the villain was going to pick up Miss Xiaoyu at the Cangchun Building.

The villain and the others left immediately, and left after waiting for someone to be picked up. They did not kill anyone at all. "

"Then the official came to ask you, after you sent Xiaoyu to Tongsheng Inn, did you see Xiaoyu enter the inn?"

Qi Dacai said: "I see, when Xiaoyu went in, the shopkeeper Xu even joked a few words."

Hu Qian nodded, asked them to step aside, and then said loudly: "The bustard, shopkeeper Xu, and Qi Dacai insisted on their own words, and there were many contradictions in what they said.

So one of the few people must be lying, Mr. Wang, if I say this, it should be fine, right? "

Wang Shuzheng said: "I don't know the things you said as long as the results come out."

Hu Qian said: "Since someone is lying, it's easy. We only need to find Xiaoyu or Qian Bohai to confront him, and then we will know who is lying."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and some didn't understand what Hu Qian's words meant.

Wang Shuzheng asked strangely: "Why, could it be that you can still call back the souls of Xiaoyu or Qian Bohai?

If that's the case, the matter will be simple. "

Although Qin Jia, Wang Shisan and others knew a little about Hu Qian's abilities, they didn't believe that he could really summon souls at all.

They all thought that he was just bragging, or had other tricks, so even though they heard it, they didn't take it seriously at all, and just waited to see what method Hu Qian was going to use.

The bustard, shopkeeper Xu, Qi Dacai and others below also showed doubts on their faces. They were both curious and scared for a while.

Hu Qian said with a smile: "If everyone thinks there is no problem, then let's start."

The speaker looked at Wang Shuzheng again, and the latter said: "If Mr. Hu really has such an ability, you might as well show it directly, so that I can open my eyes."

Hu Qian said: "Okay, if this is the case, then I will show my shame."

Talking and shouting: "Where is Hu Jiu!"

Hu Jiu immediately came out from behind, knelt down and said, "Young Master, what are your orders?"

Hu Qian said: "Bring incense candles and mahogany swords, I want to summon the souls of Xiaoyu and Qian Bohai."

Hu Jiu was taken aback, and then ran out. After a while, he brought many candles and incense, and a mahogany sword stained with pig's blood. I don't know where he found it.

Hu Qian said again: "Wang Shisan, go and close the gate and all the windows. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Wang Shisan was also stunned immediately.

Looking at it like this, is it really impossible to summon the soul!
However, although the magistrate has brute force, the ability to summon souls is completely a matter of gods and ghosts. How can such mysterious and unpredictable abilities be possessed by ordinary people.

But looking at Hu Qian's arrangement, it seemed that he was not lying, so he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.

After the doors and windows were closed, Hu Qian lit the candles himself, filled candles around Xiaoyu and Qian Bohai, and lit a big candle in the southeast corner. Light the candles.

Wang Shuzheng frowned, "Master Hu, what are you doing? With such an arrangement, you must be treating us as suspects, right?"

Hu Qian smiled and said: "As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, since your lord has a clear conscience, why should you be afraid of these ghosts and ghosts.

If he retreats before the battle, wouldn't it make the world laugh at him. "

Saying that, regardless of Wang Shuzheng's expression, he directly grabbed the mahogany sword, stabbed it suddenly, and immediately rushed out with an extraordinary momentum.

Wang Shuzheng only felt the strong wind blowing against his face, and when he looked again, there was no shadow of Hu Qian in front of him.

At this moment, he is like a butterfly wearing flowers, going east and west for a while, chanting words in his mouth, with a serious look on his face.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was dark in a blink of an eye.

Although the doors and windows are closed, through the gaps in the doors and windows, you can still see the moonlight outside, although it is bright, it is very cold.

The rain has stopped long ago, only the raindrops on the eaves are still falling, hitting the ground and everyone's heart.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the lobby became more and more depressing.

Hu Qian and a group of yamen servants were fine, they just worked a little overtime, while Wang Shuzheng, a group of soldiers, shopkeeper Xu and others couldn't hold on anymore.

Seeing that the candlelight was getting darker and darker, nothing happened around.

Wang Shuzheng was furious and was about to explode when he saw the candles in the hall go out all of a sudden.

At this moment, a cloudy wind suddenly blew, and everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Although he didn't see anything, the hairs on his back were completely upside down.

In the darkness, there seemed to be a thick black mist in front of him, approaching him step by step.

In less than a moment, everyone felt as if something was speaking in their ears.

However, the voice was clearly right next to my ears, and when I listened carefully, I couldn't hear anything clearly.

When everyone was at a loss in fear, they suddenly heard a voice saying: "My lord, Qian Bohai is here..."

The voice was cold and shrill, which could not be uttered by a living person.

Hu Qian said: "Qian Bohai, tell me, who killed you?"

The voice said gloomyly: "My lord, the person who killed me is in the hall."

Hu Qian said: "Stand behind him, I will make the decision for you!"

"Thank you sir..."

At this moment, everyone felt the biting wind blowing again, and through a voice that made the scalp tingle, they said: "My lord... I am standing behind him, please make the decision for me, my lord!"

Hu Qian said: "Hu Jiu! Light the candles!"

In less than a moment, the hall suddenly brightened.

Then, everyone looked straight at Shopkeeper Xu who was kneeling below.

Hu Qian sneered and said, "Master Xu, are you still unwilling to plead guilty?"

Shopkeeper Xu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately turned around to look, only to see a chair behind him with a playing card on it.

The card read: "Please sit in a chair."

When I went to see the old bustard, Qi Dacai and a group of porters, I found that they were all sitting on chairs, and only I was kneeling on the spot.

There is no such thing as Qian Bohai's ghost.

This is simply Hu Qian's scheme!

It's just that at this moment, shopkeeper Xu still refused to plead guilty, but quibbled: "Could it be based on this that we can conclude that Caomin is the murderer? It's too far-fetched!"

Hu Qian said: "Because you are afraid, you dare not turn your head to look behind. Doesn't this explain everything!"

Shopkeeper Xu said: "Caomin has been afraid of ghosts and gods since they were young, so they dare not look back, lest they offend ghosts and gods, what is wrong with this!
If adults must judge the grassroots people based on this, then the grassroots people have nothing to say.

It's just that when you go to the underworld and see Yan Luo, the villain will say that you were wronged and died! "

Wang Shuzheng said: "Master Hu, what this Xu man said is also reasonable. If you can't produce any other evidence, you'd better let him go quickly."

Hu Qian said: "Okay, since Mr. Wang interceded for you, I will give you another chance."

As he spoke, he shouted again: "Hu Jiu, put out the candles!"

Hu Jiu responded, and immediately extinguished all the candles in the lobby.

Hu Qian shouted: "Where is Qian Bohai!"

Everyone thought that he was going to repeat his old tricks, so although the hall suddenly became spooky, no one was afraid anymore.

Everyone opened their eyes wide, waiting to see when the chair and the note were placed behind their backs.

Shopkeeper Xu naturally did the same.

Sure enough, after a while, a voice said: "Qian Bohai is here."

Shopkeeper Xu immediately looked around. Although he heard the voice right next to his ears, he couldn't see anything. He couldn't help being curious and surprised at the same time.

Hu Qian said again: "Now stand behind the person who killed you and let him see how miserable your death is!"

Including Shopkeeper Xu, everyone turned their heads immediately.

In the darkness, a bloody face suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The bustard, Qi Dacai and others were all scared out of their wits, and shopkeeper Xu backed away in fright, shouting: "Don't come to me! Don't come to me!"
