Among the compensation items sent by the former Jingyang County Magistrate, there were a large number of silks, satins and jewelry.

One of them is a pure gold hibiscus crown, which is rich in materials and exquisite in craftsmanship. However, it is equipped with a Ziwu hairpin inserted from back to front, which is an obvious Taoist hairpin style and is a men's style.

In addition, there are many accessories made of jade, crystal, ball, and coral. These gems are one of the seven treasures of Taoism. The ribbons connecting the gems and the tassels are also embroidered with Taoist runes.

pattern.

These talisman patterns were not embroidered casually. Li Lijun recognized that these talisman patterns were mainly used to summon divine generals and command ghosts and gods, and were not used to pray for blessings and ensure safety. Who in the normal world would embroider these things on their own jewelry?

Taking into account all the above circumstances, Li Lijun couldn't help but guess that these things were prepared by the former Jingyang County Magistrate for the demon? Although it was rumored that he destroyed all the things made for the demon in a fit of anger, but these valuable

The jewelry is not so easy to damage. Moreover, gold and silver jewelry are very valuable. Rather than destroying them in vain, it is better to keep them and find a jewelry craftsman to remake them into completely different jewelry. Why waste it?

Li Lijun stared at the talisman patterns on the ornaments and had an idea in her mind. She summoned Aunt Cui and asked her to find a way to inquire around the Jingyang County Government Office. The former county magistrate had prepared for the evil way.

What kind of things? Whether it's robes or magic weapons, as long as it's something that the demon asked him to provide, she'll try to find out as much as possible. In addition, she also wants to know what the former Jingyang County Magistrate claimed to have destroyed.

How were they destroyed? Did anyone see it destroyed with their own eyes?

Finally, she wanted to know how long the demon had stayed with the former Jingyang County Magistrate? Where did he live? Did she ever mention where he came from?

Aunt Cui took the order and left. Two days later, she collected a bunch of information and reported it all to Li Lijun.

Yadao was invited by the former Jingyang County Magistrate to live in the west cross courtyard of the county government's back house for several months. According to the second-class cook in the county government's backyard, her goddaughter lived in the former county magistrate's concubine's house.

As a waiter here, I once heard the concubine tell the confidant maid beside me that the Taoist priest agreed to do something to curse the master's biggest opponent in the officialdom. Afterwards, the man was seriously ill and resigned, and the master was expected to be promoted to a high position.

Chang'an, so he was even more convinced of the Taoist priest. For this reason, the concubine deliberately wanted to bribe the Taoist priest with money, and wanted to ask for a fertility charm or a fertility pill, hoping to win a boy in one fell swoop so that he could compete with his wife.

High and low.

No one knows whether this concubine got her wish. However, the former county magistrate’s wife and accountant once complained to people around them that the former county magistrate had spent too much money on making robes for this Taoist priest.

No expense was spared on all the magic weapons, and they also purchased a large amount of cinnabar and yellow paper. They were worried that the former county magistrate was deceived by evil spirits and spent all their wealth but ended up in vain.

The robes and artifacts customized by the former Jingyang County Magistrate for the Demon Dao were all purchased in Xianyang City. Zhao Chenji had a branch in Xianyang City, and had local contacts from the Zhao family to help, so it was easy to find out the news. Those collectors

When she went to the store where the former county magistrate ordered, Grandma Cui managed to get a copy of the relevant detailed list, which was really amazing!

Grandma Cui also found out that on the day when the former Jingyang County Magistrate was so angry that he wanted to destroy all the robes and ritual instruments, many people in the county government were jealous of those valuable things and felt that he was too wasteful of natural resources. Anyway, this

The future of the county magistrate was dim, and the petty officials and servants also lost their fear. When he was not paying attention, many people secretly stole the clothes and utensils that were thrown out of the house, and then found some worthless old things and threw them into the fire.

There, he tried to conceal everything. The servant who was responsible for lighting the fire at that time was also greedy for a few small things, so he not only did not say anything about what others did, but also helped to cover it up.

Even the wife of the former magistrate took back several pieces of valuable jewelry. The former magistrate thought that he had destroyed everything. In fact, most of the valuable items had long been scattered into the hands of many people.

brA county official got a cassock and removed all the gold threads on it, which was enough for several taels of gold. The cassock itself was also made of fine silk and satin, and his wife cut it into the size of a handkerchief and embroidered it.

Sell ​​two flowers, which is another huge sum of money. There are many people who have made a small fortune like this officer. People in the county government keep common secrets. Unless they are the closest and most trusted people, no one will

Not even a word will be revealed.

So many people knew this secret.

No one knows where the demonic path came from, but the items customized for him by the former Jingyang County Magistrate were all of his own style, and even the drawings were drawn by himself. The craftsmen in the jewelry shop did not know what those things were.

What is the meaning of the runes? I only know that I was asked to make them according to the drawings. If there was a slight mistake in the runes, the customer would send it back and change it again. The craftsman revised it three times before Yaodao was satisfied with the goods. The former Jingyang County Magistrate did this for

It also cost me a lot more money.

Also, during the trial of Liu Dalang's murder case, the former Jingyang County Magistrate met the demon Dao several times. It is difficult to say whether his deceptive attitude was influenced by the demon Dao. After all, the demon Dao knew many things about the demon snake. Maybe it was true.

My accomplice, are you deliberately helping the demon snake cover up his crime?

Maybe it's because the former county magistrate was manipulated by the demon and did many wrong things, and now he finds himself in a quagmire, so he hates the demon even more. I heard that his situation is getting worse and worse now, and even his family is in trouble

We met once. Even the compensation sent to Li Lijun was raised by his wife and sent to Liujiazhuang.

After Li Lijun looked at this information, she understood why she had received jewelry that was suspected to be used by demons. She gave all the things to Aunt Cui and took them outside for processing, and the money in exchange was invested in Zhuangzi's reconstruction project.

, and it can also subsidize the families who suffered serious losses. She did this in her own name, and the villagers were grateful, but they could not say a single kind word about the former Jingyang County Magistrate.

Jing Zhaoyin will arrive in Jingyang soon to deal with the stupid official, so Li Lijun doesn't need to worry too much. She is even more curious about what the evil spirit originally planned to do. She remembers that when he yelled at the gopher outside the meteorite mountain, he once claimed that he had something

"Big things" need to be done. What are the "big things" he wants to do?

This demon is obviously not a good person. He has colluded with the demon snake and asked the worm to hand over the Five Elements treasures. Is he planning to use these spiritual objects to set up some kind of formation? Li Lijun felt that he had to be on guard.

Jing Zhaoyin soon came to Jingyang County, used the county government hall to conduct a preliminary interrogation of the former county magistrate, and then ran to Liujiazhuang to see the scene of the crime.

Because of sufficient funds and the secret help of capable helpers, the damaged houses in Liujiazhuang have been repaired by 70% to 80% after days of construction by the villagers. However, traces of the damage are still there, and the injured have not yet recovered. Jing Zhaoyin saw it

He comforted the injured people with the evidence of guilt left by the evil spirit. After exchanging opinions with Li Shen, one of the injured, and Ding Wulang, another representative of the victim, he went to visit the snake corpse. In order to bring the evidence of guilt of the former Jingyang County Magistrate with him,

When he returned to Chang'an City, he specially mobilized dozens of strong men to pull an extremely long truck and took away the two snake bodies together.

Jing Zhaoyin rejected the proposal of Liujiazhuang and Liuerzhuang to build the Temple of the Rat King on the original site of Shitou Mountain, thinking that it would be good to build a temple of the earth. If the villagers felt that the rat demon was successful in saving people, the worst they could do was to add a temple in the corner of the earth temple.

The mouse statue.

The villagers suddenly felt that their minds had opened up.

Jing Zhaoyin took the snake corpse and escorted the prisoner, and left Jingyang County with satisfaction, taking with him many idlers who came to watch the excitement.

The back house of the Jingyang County Government Office was empty. The family members of the former county magistrate had moved away and were busy going to Beijing to rescue their master.
