Chapter 3: Catch the Thief First Catch the King(1/2)

With the mentality of giving it a try, Shi Juren immediately ordered people to prepare all the tools needed for the church as quickly as possible.

After he was ready, he carried his daughter's coffin to Qiao Sheng's house.

Along the way, I followed many people who were interested in the strange things.

After all, this is a strange story throughout the ages.

There is an ancient custom of getting married to the dead, that is, getting married to the dead.

But this time the situation is really too strange.

It would be fine if Qiao was resurrected from life and death, but he also said that he could make Liancheng come back from the dead?

How can you miss such a strange thing?

For a moment, the news spread rapidly throughout the city like wings, attracting more people to watch the fun.

After the coffin was carried to Qiao Sheng's house, Qiao Sheng helped Lian Cheng, who had been dressed in a bride, out of the coffin and called her name affectionately.

At this time, a magical scene appeared: Liancheng really woke up quietly.

If everyone hadn't been mentally prepared, I'd probably be frightened and ran away again.

In a blink of an eye, the funeral turned into a happy event.

Just when Qiao Sheng and Lian Cheng were happily preparing to get married, they never thought that something happened suddenly...

It turned out that the Wang family and his son also heard this strange story. In shock, Young Master Wang immediately brought a few servants to come over.

As a result, Qiao Sheng and Liancheng were just in the meeting, and they started to make a big fuss in the wedding scene in anger.

In anger, the people present had a fierce conflict with Wang Dashen and others.

Finally, the county government office was in trouble, and both sides had their own opinions.

Shi Juren said that although his daughter had an engagement with Mr. Wang, it was the event before his daughter died.

Once the daughter dies, the engagement will naturally lose its effectiveness.

Now that my daughter is reborn, she naturally has the freedom to choose a son-in-law again.

However, the Wang family insisted that this was a conspiracy between the Shi family and Qiao Sheng, saying that where did the resurrection come from in this world?

It was clearly Lian Cheng who pretended to die and unilaterally repented his engagement with the Wang family.

Such a strange case is unheard of for the government, and it is difficult to make a decision for a while.

After all, the identities of both families are not simple. The Wang family is one of the most wealthy families in Jinning, and the officials have gained a lot of benefits.

The Shi family is a celebrity, and Shi Juren is even more famous, and they cannot be suppressed casually.

Seeing that the matter was in a deadlock, the Wang family suddenly found a master to testify: it was Jiumo, a monk from the Western Regions who had treated Liancheng.

Jiumo testified that Liancheng and Qiao Sheng were indeed fake deaths, and that it was the method that Shi Juren asked him to give.

But he didn't know what was the reason at that time. Now that things have started, he only realized that it was a plan made by Shi Juren to repent.

When Shi Juren heard such testimony, he was very angry and shouted in court, saying that Jiumo must have been bribed by the Wang family and son as perjury.

However, the county magistrate finally ruled that Shi Juren lost the case and ordered the Shi family to send Liancheng to the Wang family to get married on the date.

Now, this case is causing a lot of controversy in Jinning County.

Although the people in the city knew that the Wang family and son were not good things, they did feel a little strange about the resurrection of Liancheng and Qiao.

Therefore, the attitudes of the people towards this strange case have undergone subtle changes...

After hearing the causes and consequences of this strange case, Mo Zi kept silent, but he had already understood what was going on in his heart.

Anyway, that Jiumo is definitely not a good thing.

Late at night that night.

The guests had already fallen asleep, and the inn was silent.

Suddenly, a thin black shadow walked through the backyard and touched the guest room in the south.

Obviously, this person was prepared and came directly outside the room where Mo Ziming and the other two were.

The two rooms are next to each other, Mo Ziming lives alone, and Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing live in one.

The black shadow unbuttoned the cloth bag in his hand and shook out two snakes about three feet long.

These two snakes were carefully cultivated by this guy. They are extremely poisonous. As long as you are bitten, you will die in less than ten breaths. It is too late to treat them.

But what the black shadow didn't expect was that the two poisonous snakes did not hold their heads up and wait for instructions as before, but curled up in a ball, looking timid.

What's going on?

The black shadow couldn't help but look surprised.

How could he guess the identities of Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing? How could he dare to bite the two snake ancestors?

"Bang~"

Just as the black shadow was about to try to issue the order again, a hidden force surged, causing his body to soar and fell heavily into the courtyard.

The movement woke up a guy in the store and couldn't help but run to the yard with a lantern to check.

"ah!"

This time, I was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat, and I was so scared that I burst into tears on the spot.

At first, the intruder was covered in black and covered with a face, obviously not like a guest in the inn.

Secondly, two snakes are attacking this person.

Speaking of which, these two poisonous snakes were originally domesticated by infiltrators and are usually quite obedient.

However, it is in line with the old saying that those who play with fire must burn themselves.

He probably wouldn't have dreamed that one day the snake he tamed himself would bit him frantically.

In horror, he wanted to take out the antidote on his body and swallow it, but he was desperate to find that his hand seemed to be controlled by an invisible force and was not obedient at all.

So, he could only roll instinctively, intending to avoid the bites of the poisonous snake, and shouting for help in horror.

Such a big noise naturally awakened other guests. The timids hid in the guest room and peeked, and many brave people also put on their clothes and ran out.

Mo Ziming, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing stood in the corridor and watched from a high place.

"Hmph, you blinded your dog's eyes and actually used a snake to deal with this girl."

Xiaoqing snorted in a low voice.

At this time, the guy in the yard finally stopped moving, and the two poisonous snakes quickly slipped away.

"Oh my God, where did the snake come from?"

"Is that man dead?"

"have no idea……"

"Hurry, go and report to the official!"

The inn shopkeeper also ran out and shouted at the guys.

After about a stick of incense, several yamen runners finally arrived at the scene.

The guy who first discovered something strange quickly stepped forward and told me what he had seen before.

Another yamen runner stepped forward to check the body. When he took off the other party's mask, he couldn't help but frowned: "Why is it a Hu man?"

"Huh? Isn't he the Hu man who often plays snakes in the west of the city?"

"Yes, yes, it's him... strange, what did he do when he sneaked to the inn in the middle of the night?"

"A snake charmer actually got bitten to death by a snake?"

The crowd couldn't help but talk.

Next, several yamen runners asked about the situation at the time of the incident, and then carried the Hu man's body back to the yamen to hand over the office.

Mo Ziming returned to the room with Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

"My husband, it seems that the aunt was right before. The Hu people in this city are really a bit rampant. They actually chased them to the inn to take revenge, and they wanted to die as soon as they took action."

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? We will kill as much as they come!"

Xiaoqing said indignantly.

This time, Mo Ziming did not refute Xiaoqing, but nodded in praise: "Well, dealing with such people is to beat them up and kill them.

Blindly tolerant will only increase their arrogance.

Judging from the situation today, these Hu people may have formed an organization.

As long as someone suffers a loss, they will secretly take revenge, which makes people feel afraid and dare not provoke them easily.

If what I expected was not bad, that guy named Jiumo would definitely be an important leader.

To capture the thief, we can start with this person first…”

The next morning, Mo Ziming came to a remote and cold alley after inquiring.
To be continued...
