Chapter 415 Tong Juren
Song Jiang shrugged and said, "No problem! But there is a saying that I want to say in front of you. That kid is being abused by that evil ghost now. If he doesn't take him out, he may not be able to get it out."
"You don't have to worry about this... Go back to where you should have been." Meng Zhe said without any appreciation.
After hearing this, Song Jiang nodded and said, "No problem... But if there is no main soul in this body, I will become the only master of this body."
Even though Meng Zhe was unwilling to admit it, he knew very well that the man was right and that he had to return Song Jiang's soul to his position as soon as possible, otherwise he would not be able to suppress the one in his body and not say it. Maybe Song Jiang might be harmed by the evil spirit who didn't know the roots.
While Meng Zhe was hesitating, Song Jiang was pressing his head tightly into the water by the blue-faced ghost. Although he had no entity now, I don’t know if it was because all of this was in Liu Fang’s memory, Song Jiang could clearly feel the pain caused by drowning...
After a few twists and turns, even Liu Fang, who was scared to the ground, couldn't stand it anymore, "It's almost done! Who are you two?!"
Seeing that Liu Fang, who had always been weak, was so tough, the green-faced ghost threw Song Jiang in his hand, walked straight to him, and said to him with contempt, "I want to know who I am? You deserve it..."
The courage that Liu Fang had just accumulated disappeared instantly. When Song Jiang, who was lying on the ground and panting violently, heard the words of the green-faced ghost, he said weakly, "Why... you... you took someone's body... but you didn't even dare to report the name?! I think... you must be dead in a glorious way, right?"
The green-faced ghost didn't expect that Song Jiang would be abused like that by himself, and he still had the strength to stand up for others. So he kicked Song Jiang under a big tree on the shore, and then said coldly, "I want to know who I am, grandpa, it's simple! Come here and kowtow three times to your grandpa, and grandpa will tell you!"
Song Jiang knew that he was not a physical entity now, and no matter how much harm he was, he would not be able to kill him. So he stood up with the big tree and imitated the tone of the green-faced ghost just now, "I want me to kowtow to you?! You deserve it too?"
The green-faced ghost suddenly became angry. He instantly came to Song Jiang, grabbed his hair and pressed him to the ground, "Grandpa will let you know if I deserve it today!"
But Song Jiang came up stubbornly, holding it to his death, and refused to bow his head no matter what he said... Unexpectedly, the green-faced ghost was not angry when he saw it, saying, "It's interesting... I haven't met such an interesting person as you for a long time. Grandpa will fulfill you today, so that you can know who I am before you die?!"
After the Green-Faced Ghost finished speaking, he pulled Song Jiang on the ground up, and then a black air flashed in his eyes. His consciousness and Song Jiang instantly formed a connection, allowing Song Jiang to see the things that happened when the Green-Faced Ghost was still alive...
The green-faced ghost was named Tong Helin during his lifetime. He was a famous juren. In addition, he was handsome and talented, so he was respected and looked up to him everywhere he went... But no one expected that this Tong Juren, who had noble ambitions and good character, would eventually become a nightmare that lingered in the hearts of the locals for many years.
In the past, when people's lives were as hard as grass, it was normal to find a dead man outside the city and a river float in the river. As long as there is no family member reporting to the officials, no one will usually investigate the real cause of these people's death.
Because even if it is investigated, it is nothing more than a starved beggar or a prostitute who jumps into the water, so the government will not spend any effort to investigate these matters at all. It is already considered to be a marina to collect the body with a straw mat.
Unexpectedly, one summer was a severe drought, and a deep pool in the suburbs was dry and the bottom was dry. As a result, people passing by found that the bottom of the pool was full of bones, hiding many dead people... It would be fine if it was just one or two corpses, but the government asked people to restrain themselves and there would be no storm. But the people on the shore counted carefully, and there were at least a dozen!
The incident of Yetan showing his body suddenly spread among the people, causing panic for a while, and the matter soon reached the ears of the local county magistrate. In order to appease the people and to correct the law, he decided to thoroughly investigate the case and give the people an explanation.
The upper part said something, but the lower part naturally had to do it. So several yamen runners and two coroners gathered all the bones at the bottom of the pond. After investigation, it was found that most of these corpses were people with joint wear, bone deformed, or limbs with disabilities.
Coroner speculated from this that most of these people were beggars on the street or victims who fled. In short, they were all pitiful people who did not care about their life and death... But because the autopsy technology at that time was limited, it was difficult to judge the real cause of death for such corpses with only bones left.
However, one thing is certain, that is, these people were all killed by others, because there was a stone tied to the feet of these corpses, and the reason for doing so was naturally that they did not want the corpse to surface and be discovered.
Since this is an old case in the past, the identity of the victim and the cause of death are unknown, and there is no victim reporting the case, even if it is a sensation at that time, it will be left in the end.
Unexpectedly, just as people were about to forget this matter, a homeless man suddenly ran to the county government to report to the official, saying that he was deceived and almost killed after returning home. The other party also repeatedly pointed out that the person who wanted to kill him was Tong Helin, a juren from the county.
At first, the county magistrate did not believe the words of this homeless man, but he heard that he had a nose and eyes. He also said that Tong Helin's house now had another body. If he hadn't broken free from the rope, he would have ended up with the same consequences... In addition, everyone thought of the dozen or so named bones before, so the county magistrate immediately sent someone to Tong Helin's house.
At first, the yamen runners thought it was just a crazy talk from beggars, but when the group arrived at Tong Juren's house, they saw him drunk Ning Zhen, and a corpse was placed in the Tong family's woodshed...
With the body of the woodshed and the testimony of the beggar, Tong Juren's crimes were immediately revealed. When things came to this point, everyone's eyes when they looked at Tong Juren became different. He was no longer the humble gentleman with noble character, but became a disgusting murderer!!
After waking up, Tong Juren learned that his crime had been exposed, and neither admitted nor otherwise... he never said anything. Of course, the adults in charge of the trial believed that they had a lot of experience in dealing with criminals like Tong Helin. In their opinion, literati like Tong Juren, who had no power to tie up, would naturally be able to take anything if they were tortured.
