Chapter 35 Killing the mastermind behind the scenes(1/3)
As soon as he entered the morgue, Mo Ziming confirmed that the three dead were indeed killed by the ghost.
When I saw the death situation again, it was similar to what the noodle shop owner described before, but it was terrible.
Afterwards, Mo Ziming returned to the inner hall to view the file while checking the map.
The locations of more than ten tragedies are different, but they are all within the county.
After reading it, Mo Ziming asked the county magistrate: "Sir, have you heard that similar cases have occurred in neighboring counties?"
"without!"
The county magistrate shook his head.
Then he bowed with a bitter face and said, "I beg the hero to deal with the ghost soldiers as soon as possible, otherwise... Otherwise, I may not be able to explain to the superiors.
If the hero can calm the ghost troubles within three days, in addition to the government’s reward, I will give a heavy reward in private."
Mo Ziming smiled and said, "Sir, I am not here for reward. Regardless of whether there is or not, I will do my best to solve the problem of ghosts as soon as possible."
"That's great, thank you, the hero, I'm waiting for the good news."
Before Mo Ziming and the other two left, a figure hurriedly walked into a wing room in the inner yard.
A man in an official robe sat in the room. When he saw the visitor, he asked, "Master, what are the origins of those three?"
This person is the second in command of the county government, Wei Wuming, the eighth-rank county magistrate.
"Sir, the three of them don't look like people from the world. The man in the lead looks younger, probably less than thirty years old, dressed in a scholar, and the other two should be his followers.
Judging from his accent, it looks like a family in the south of the Yangtze River.”
After hearing what the master said, Wei Wuming frowned, and then his eyes showed fierce light: "No matter what their origin is, they cannot let them ruin big things. Send people to follow them, if necessary..."
Speaking of this, Wei Wuming raised his hand and made a beheading move.
"Yes, the villain will make arrangements now."
"Go!"
Wei Wuming waved.
Let’s talk about Mo Ziming, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing left the county government together, and went to the street to inquire.
As a result, I heard many rumors on the street that Dong County Magistrate was a fishing and slapping the people and doing things against each other, which angered God, which led to this disaster.
However, at the same time, I heard some people say that the magistrate of Dong County is actually a good official and has presided over a lot of justice for the people.
Some time ago, the bandits were in trouble, so County Magistrate Dong personally led people to the countryside to inspect and promised the villagers that he would do his best to encircle and suppress the bandits.
Everyone talked about it, and Mo Ziming was lazy to distinguish between true and false.
The most important thing at the moment is to first figure out where those Yin soldiers came from.
There is often a saying among the people that Yin soldiers use the Tao.
However, the key to using Yin soldiers is to borrow the word "borrow", which means that they are just borrowing a way and generally do not harass the people unless someone takes the initiative to provoke them.
However, the Yin soldiers incident in Guancheng County is obviously not a way to go.
It appears repeatedly in the same county. Although the location is uncertain, it also has a general range, which is abnormal in itself.
Moreover, every time they appear, they kill people, and they even dig out their lungs and peel off their skin. This is even more abnormal.
Of course, ordinary people will not question these things. They will only panic and fear, and then think that the government is unable to protect the safety of the country.
"My husband, someone is following us."
On the street, Bai Suzhen said without saying a word.
"Oh? Who is so bold?"
Xiaoqing immediately wanted to look back.
Fortunately, Bai Suzhen knew Xiaoqing's personality and shouted in time: "Xiaoqing, don't look back, don't pay attention to them first."
"Yes!" Mo Ziming smiled: "Someone followed him, which means that there is something strange about this... In this way, we will leave the city and lead them to the bait."
"good!"
So the three of them walked out of the city slowly as if nothing had happened.
"Then where are we going now?"
After leaving the city, Xiaoqing couldn't help asking.
Mo Ziming replied: "Based on the crime scene recorded in the file and combined with the Wenhe County topographic map, I circled a rough central point range.
We are now walking thirty or forty miles east, almost at that range."
Bai Suzhen raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean by your husband, will you lead those people over?"
"right!"
Mo Ziming nodded.
Along the way, the three of them were leisurely, as if they were traveling around the mountains and rivers.
After walking for about twenty miles, the ground trembled slightly.
"The officers and soldiers are here..."
Someone shouted, and the people walking on the road were so scared that they retreated to the side of the road.
Some timid people even hide in the grass or woods on the slope.
Can't afford to offend, can't you still afford to hide?
Soon, the group of officers and soldiers marched towards him quickly.
The three leading players rode tall horses with an arrogant look.
Following it, about fifty soldiers holding knives, guns, or bows and arrows were followed. It seemed that they were local garrisons.
Mo Ziming didn't care about this, thinking it was a passing officer and soldier.
But I never expected that just as the officers and soldiers approached, a man on the road suddenly jumped out and pointed at Mo Ziming and the other two: "Officials, they are the three of them. They are the thieves wanted by the government."
As soon as he finished speaking, a leader riding on the horse changed his face and immediately waved his sword in his hand to order: "Catch the three of them, if you dare to resist, kill them on the spot!"
"Abide by the order!"
The men responded together.
At this moment, these officers and soldiers cooperated tacitly and quickly dispersed to form a siege. The archers also pulled their bows and arrows to aim at Mo Ziming and the other two.
At this time, Xiaoqing finally came to her senses and said angrily: "You are blind, how dare you slander us as thieves?"
"Xiaoqing, don't be impatient!"
Mo Ziming waved his hand with a smile.
At this time, he almost understood the reason.
It is obvious that some people are unwilling to let them stop the murder of ghost soldiers, or they are afraid that someone will find out the truth.
The three of them were targeted as soon as they came out of the county government. Naturally, someone in the county government leaked the news and sent someone to follow him.
At the same time, we informed the officers and soldiers to capture them under the pretext of capturing the thieves of Jiangyang.
In the end, it must be a murder to silence the patient.
So who is behind this?
"Who gave you the courage to catch people indiscriminately, and you can't tell me about the truth and the truth, and you can't help but catch people randomly?"
Mo Ziming slowly stepped forward and asked the leader who was riding on the horse.
The other party laughed in anger, raised his sword and pointed at Mo Ziming: "I didn't expect you to be quite arrogant, the archer is ready!"
It seems that this guy is going to silence him directly.
"I advise you not to do anything nonsense..."
Mo Ziming mocked and said.
When talking about the last word "come", the leader got off the horse and stood on the ground strangely. The knife in his hand fell into Mo Ziming's hand and placed it on his neck.
"You...you are so brave, you dare to kidnap the official?"
The little boss looked pale and sweated coldly, and he whispered in a trembling voice.
"Let go Captain Lu!"
The men roared and began to shrink and encircle.
"Get back and dare to take another step forward, don't blame me for chopping your captain's head."
When he heard this, the guy called Captain Lu was so scared that he shouted in a different voice: "Back back, you all retreat back, and the one who resists the order will be killed!"
After ordering, the hands looked at each other, but in the end they didn't dare to take risks and began to slowly retreat.
"Hero, you...you go, I promise not to make things difficult for you."
In order to survive, Captain Lu admitted his defeat and began to talk about conditions with Mo Ziming.
To be continued...
