Chapter 3 Chance Encounter
Qin Gang and the other three stopped and pondered these two lines of poetry in their hearts. In this situation and in this situation, hearing such impassioned poetry couldn't help but stir up waves in their hearts.
What a poem! Qin Gang recited it several times silently in his heart, and once again felt the spirit of seeing death as home brought by the poem.
Although he is the Sikyong of the Demon Slayer Division, he does not just focus on martial arts practice. Before becoming the Sikyong, he also read a lot of poetry and books. He has a small talent. Occasionally, when he is deeply in love, he will compose an impromptu poem.
It's just that compared to these two lines of poetry, what he wrote is obviously much different. It has to be said that these two lines of poetry vividly express the artistic conception and momentum in this environment.
"I will smile to the sky with my horizontal sword, leaving behind my liver and gallbladder!" Yuan Xiu repeated a few words in a low voice, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Qin Gang asked, "I said, when did your sword pavilion appear, such a talented monster hunter?"
Yuan Xiu was also puzzled by this. He shook his head and said, "I don't know! You don't need to take the poetry exam to enter the Demon Slayer Division."
Qin Gang sighed regretfully, "It's a pity that if you commit a capital crime, even if you are pardoned, you can only stay anonymous and travel far away to be an insider. No matter how talented you are, it will be useless."
Yuan Xiu glanced at the prison and said, "Look!"
"Let's go! Let's meet this talented monster hunter."
Li Huaiyun finished reading two lines of the poem affectionately, and his current situation was somewhat similar to the artistic conception in the poem.
He swung his fist hard and hit the wall in front of him. The old earth wall was dented, and the dust flying in the sky slowly scattered to the straw on the ground.
He knew in his heart that he might not be able to escape this disaster. He would either die or go far away and become an insider. What made him most unwilling was that he had been wronged but had nowhere to seek redress.
Although Hong Yun wanted to help, he knew the situation at home. Joining the Demon Slayer Division would almost wipe out his family's financial resources. Not to mention, if he had to fix his head and let a murderer do his own autopsy, no one would risk losing his head to help.
he.
I'm so sorry for my aunt! She has troubled her for so many years.
Li Huaiyun sighed a few words, punched again, and vented the frustration in his heart on the wall.
He squatted beside the wall with a dejected look on his face. The cold ground made the hairs on his body stand up, and he would shiver from time to time.
I hope that when I travel again, I won’t start like this, and let me just be a silly son of a landlord, leading a loser every day, and enjoying teasing women from good families. This is the perfect life!
"Hey! Someone is here to see you!" A voice sounded outside the cell.
Li Huaiyun slowly raised his head and looked toward the cell door. Apart from the policeman, there were two other people standing there. He seemed to have seen those faces before.
He frowned and tried to remember, but finally the policeman said, "Demon Slayer Sikyong," which reminded him of the identities of these two people.
Qin Si Zheng and Director Yuan! Since he is the lowest level demon hunter in the Demon Slayer Division, he rarely has the opportunity to meet the Director, let alone Si Jing.
My impression of the two of them has always been quite vague.
Li Huaiyun couldn't understand why the Sikyong and the helmsman of the Demon Slaying Department suddenly came to visit him in the prison. If they wanted to save him, they should have come before the case was even tried, so why did they wait until now.
However, these two are also senior leaders. Even if they are executed, they must have basic etiquette.
Moreover, he also hopes that these two people can take care of his aunt considering his status as the Demon Slayer Division. When he dies, this pretty and plump widow will be the only one left in the family, and it is inevitable that she will not be missed by others.
Li Huaiyun walked to the prison door in chains and saluted them.
He lowered his head and clasped his fists with his hands, "Demon Slayer Division, D-level demon catcher Li Huaiyun, pays homage to Sikyong and the helmsman."
"I have really lived up to the expectations of Sikyong and the helmsman."
Yuan Xiudao said rudely, "No, I didn't expect it at all! Besides, you don't live long, so don't be cautious." His boss always spoke simply and clearly.
These words instantly put the atmosphere in the prison into a special kind of embarrassment.
However, Li Huaiyun knew the upright character of the helmsman, so he didn't pay special attention to it, "Yes! I wonder why the helmsman and Sikyong are here?"
Qin Gang had a good impression of this man because of two lines of poetry, "I just heard that the two lines of poetry you were reading in prison were very artistic!"
"I smiled at the sky with my horizontal sword, leaving behind my liver and gallbladder! I didn't expect that the Demon Slayer Division also has such talented people!"
There was a special smile on his lips, and since he was practicing in Kunlun Mountain, he felt more familiar with these two verses.
"I smiled at the sky with my horizontal sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact! I didn't expect the people from the Demon Slayer Department to be so talented in literature!"
Li Huaiyun felt that those two lines of poetry were a bit ordinary. How could such a good rapper like me not mention a word?
However, being able to be praised by Sikyong face to face, he vaguely felt that an opportunity had come.
He said modestly, "I have only studied for a few years, and my level is average. Besides, if you enter the Demon Slayer Division, you won't need these. It's normal for Sikyong to not know."
With this attitude, Qin Gang and Yuan Xiu could feel that this young man was simple, sincere and of good conduct.
Qin Gang asked curiously, "Oh! Then why didn't you go to the academy to study and obtain merit, but instead entered the Demon Slayer Division?"
"To be honest, my parents died at the hands of monsters, which made me determined to join the Monster Slaying Division, just to one day be able to avenge my parents!"
"You must avenge your parents! You are ambitious." Yuan Xiu agreed with his attitude. "Unfortunately, you disobeyed and accidentally killed someone. It is a capital crime. You do not deserve sympathy."
"Sikyong, helmsman!" Li Huaiyun said seriously, "Please allow me to explain."
"explain!"
"I admit that what I did was inappropriate, but there is something fishy about it, especially the autopsy."
"Oh!" Qin Gang asked in surprise, "Is there a problem with the autopsy?"
"Yes, something must have gone wrong."
Qin Gang stroked the gray beard on his chin, "How can you be so sure that something went wrong during the autopsy?"
"To be honest, my aunt is a doctor. I have been exposed to it since I was a child. I am very familiar with it and have some understanding of the body."
Li Huaiyun looked confident, "After I killed that person, I felt that there was something wrong with that passerby."
Yuan Xiu snorted, "Since you discovered the problem, you didn't say anything about it then, why don't you wait until now?"
Li Huaiyun shook his head regretfully, "After killing that man, my subordinates were all a little panicked! So I didn't think of it at the time. It's only now that I calmed down and thought about it carefully that I discovered the problem."
Qin Gang nodded slightly, feeling that this explanation made sense, "It's God's will, if this had not happened, we wouldn't have been able to hear those two lines of poetry,"
"Sentiment arises when one is struck by a scene and expresses one's feelings. Sure enough, under special circumstances, people can burst out with different emotions."
Hey, hey, hey! Li Huaiyun lowered his head and complained in his heart, Sikyong! This is a critical moment for me, why are you talking about poetry? Let me live, and there will be more poems for you.
Yuan Xiu coughed lightly and reminded, "Since Sikyong agrees with him! Think about how to deal with it. You can't just let it go with two poems. In that case, the law will be useless!"
In fact, in his heart, he really didn't want Jiange to lose this talent. Since Sikyong was also interested in Li Huaiyun, it would be more appropriate to let Sikyong handle it.
The other party was from his Jiange, so he was very willing to save it without any effort and without having to talk much.
Except for Yuan Xiu, who is usually serious about his swordsmanship and cultivation, this time he used his brains for Li Huaiyun. He had to act indifferent, maintain his character, and try every means to save him.
Qin Gang glanced at Yuan Xiu next to him. Meng Hulu was quite scheming in this regard! However, this guy was very talented in poetry, so he made an exception and kept him!
"Okay! It's up to you to do the autopsy yourself and prove your innocence!" He pointed at Li Huaiyun and told him, "However, let me say this first. If you still can't prove your innocence after the autopsy, then there is no need to
The retrial will be postponed to the Meridian Gate for execution!"
Li Huaiyun really thought that he had hope at first. After hearing what he said next, he realized that this meant that he had only one way to go, and he had no chance to be an insider.
He felt that Sikyong's intention was to turn two uncertain choices into an extreme choice, but he didn't know that the other party had other plans.
For now, we can only accept this condition.
Yuan Xiu complained quite a bit about this, frowning but not daring to say anything.
"Just wait, I will send someone to send a message to County Magistrate Gao now."
Qin Gang said a few words to the policeman beside him, "Hurry up and inform your county magistrate!"
"Yes!" The policeman immediately clasped his fists, turned around and walked outside.
In the county government office, Hong Yun had already stood up, "County Magistrate Gao, keep your word, agree to my request first and let him go for the autopsy!"
She wanted the county magistrate to take care of the matter first, and as for herself, she would delay as long as she could.
"This! Mrs. Li, are you afraid that I will break my promise?" Magistrate Gao was already standing behind Hong Yun, leaning forward slightly and taking a deep breath. The faint fragrance from her long, beautiful black hair made him
I can't help myself.
Hong Yun subconsciously hid aside, "Of course, you officials always do one thing in front of you and another behind your back!"
"Ouch! Mrs. Li, why don't you believe me?" Magistrate Gao put his hands on Hong Yun's shoulders, "If you don't believe it, it will be difficult!"
Hong Yun's body trembled, and she became even more disgusted with Magistrate Gao's words and actions. She clenched her fists and could only swallow her anger.
"Promise first..."
At this moment, a shout came from the outer hall, "My lord! My lord!"
Magistrate Gao immediately retracted his hand with an angry look on his face. It was about to reach the critical moment when someone actually disturbed his good deeds and shouted loudly, "Didn't I tell you that I have official duties and need to write a memorial!"
"
"It was the Demon-Slayer Sikyong who asked me to come!"
Magistrate Gao said impatiently, "I have already told you about the water prison. You just need to explain it clearly. Why do you still come to disturb my work?"
"Sir! It's not about the water prison, it's about Li Huaiyun of the Demon Slayer Division."
When Hongyun heard this, she looked at the gate with a blank expression, wondering what happened in the prison?
"Ah!" Magistrate Gao took a few steps forward and glanced at the pretty Hong Yun behind him, fearing that something would go wrong and the cooked duck would fly away.
"Say!" he shouted loudly, "What's the problem there?"
"The Demon-Slaying Sikyong asked me to inform you that the autopsy will be conducted again,"
Magistrate Gao didn't understand what was going on for a while, "What's the matter of re-autopsy? What's going on?"
"Sikyong said that Li Huaiyun would personally conduct the autopsy."
"What!" Magistrate Gao waved his hand fiercely, his official robes whistling, "How could this happen? He is a criminal! He is a murderer! How could..."
He realized that Hong Yun was still present and had not spoken so directly.
When Hongyun heard the news, she was relieved. Depending on her temper, what would happen at that time was not allowed by her landlord.
What's going on? Why did Sikyong come to the prison? This bastard asked me for help before. Is he trying to trick me?
