Chapter 115 144~145 The Mad Man in the Huang Family Mansion
Chapter 115 144~145 Huang Family Mansion, Crazy Man
Dangdang——
After finishing the exercise, Chen Zheng lightly hammered his chest, which immediately made a heavier metal impact sound.
As the strength faded, the red luster on his skin also faded, but his eyes were extremely satisfied.
In the past few days, he spent time to prepare another golden jade ointment that specializes in cultivating the indestructible Vajra, and directly sealed it as Xuan Zeng's Vajra Spiritual Treasure Ointment.
After several days of consumption and refining, and tempered by the powerful medicinal power, the realm of the black iron body increased sharply again, directly reaching perfection, and began to march towards the second level of the red copper body.
After a period of time, the remaining medicinal power is officially digested, and you will be able to steadily advance to the realm of the red copper body. At that time, your physical strength will inevitably reach a higher level again.
Of course, even now, his physical strength has increased a lot compared to a few days ago.
"It took three months to train to become a black iron body, and then move on to a red bronze body. I wonder if the creator of this technique can train it as fast as me?"
Chen Zheng touched his chin and sighed silently.
It has only been more than three months since I completed my practice of "Indestructible Vajra" today.
The Indestructible King Kong is a unique human skill, and the difficulty is not low. According to the progress of a normal warrior, it would not take three to five years of hard work to reach the first level. He started to master it after more than three months of driving.
Cheng, how can the word "shuang" be so good?
Just then.
Outside the hospital, there was a sudden knock on the door, and at the same time came the familiar voices of Chai Tiefeng and Chang Qing:
"Sir, are you at home?"
Chen Zheng's heart moved, he quickly put on his clothes and opened the courtyard door:
"What's up?"
Outside the door, two people stood respectfully holding horses. Chai Tiefeng cupped his hands and said:
"Sir, the department just received a report that something evil was suspected in a farm outside the city, so we were ordered to go and investigate."
It's finally here.
After working as a hands-off shopkeeper for a few days, Chen Zheng immediately became energetic when he heard that something evil was at work:
"What's the specific situation?"
Chang Qing quickly said:
"I heard that the farm has been haunted frequently in the past few days. You can actually hear ghosts crying at night. The son of the landlord of the farm boasts that he has some skills. He led the young man to patrol the farm at night to keep vigil, but he didn't know what happened.
Evil, and ended up going crazy.
The farm landowner did not dare to let the Zhu Xie Division know that all the reports were sent to the Supervision Division. You happen to be on duty today, so..."
"good."
Even after hearing this, I couldn’t figure it out. Chen Zheng nodded and said:
"Call Han Kaiyun and Ding Laiyou to go and have a look at the farm!"
Without saying a word, he simply tidied up and went back to the Supervision Department with the two of them to collect documents and records. Then he took four of his subordinates and rushed out of the government office and headed outside the city.
It was about to enter winter, and the horses, dressed in bright clothes and angry, walked straight out of the city from the main road. As far as the eye could see, there was endless farmland that had been harvested, connecting the sky and the earth.
After leaving the city, there was no speed limit anymore. Everyone ran along the field road. After running for more than ten miles, Chai Tiefeng suddenly pointed not far away:
"Sir, Village No. 5, number B, is that!"
Chen Zheng looked around and saw that less than a mile away, at the end of a small path extending from the avenue, a large village surrounded by wooden thorn fences stood impressively.
In this world, evil spirits are rampant, and all the fields are cultivated around the city. There are more than 100,000 acres of farmland outside the city of Lingqiu County, and there are more than 20 farms of various sizes.
The farm they were heading to was considered a relatively large one. There were more than 500 households in the farm, which was almost the size of a village.
So he turned around and ran straight towards the farm. As soon as he arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi, he saw two relatively strong men approaching him nervously holding iron spears:
"Several adults, who are you...?"
Without Chen Zheng opening his mouth, Chang Qing had already shouted:
"This is Mr. Chen, the government inspector. Where is your village owner? Take us there quickly!"
"Yes, yes, sir, please come with us!"
Upon hearing that they were coming from the government office, the two men nodded hurriedly, turned around and trotted towards Zhuangzi to lead the way.
Chen Zheng pulled the reins and followed behind.
This village looks similar to a village, with one or two simple avenues, with mud houses on the left and right sides, and the better ones are protected by fences, forming a simple small courtyard;
At worst, it's just a shabby thatched mud house alone, and I don't know how to survive the cold winter in the border wilderness.
What's worth mentioning is that upon hearing this commotion, people with slutty faces popped out of these houses. There were men and women, old and young. The only thing they had in common was that they were sallow and thin, and they looked like they were suffering from chronic malnutrition.
appearance.
Obviously, these are the tenants of this farm.
However, the appearance of these people is not really good, especially when they saw the official robes and uniforms of the officers and men on Chen Zheng and others, they all retracted their heads in fear, like a mouse seeing a cat.
Seeing this scene, Chen Zheng frowned slightly:
"These should all be tenants in Zhuangzi. Why is there not enough land for cultivation?"
Chai Tiefeng was obviously used to it and said:
"You don't know, sir. Zhuangzi, ranked B, has at least two to three thousand acres of fields, which is enough to support these hundreds of tenants. Of course, the land is cultivated for the landlords, and what they can get is only the rated rations.
Just stay hungry."
Chen Zheng said nothing.
He thought of the village outside the branch of Tianmu Divine Sect again, and felt it was ironic.
And march all the way.
After a while, they arrived at the innermost part of Zhuangzi, in front of a very grand mansion.
This house belongs to a wealthy family. It has at least three entrances and three exits. The walls are nearly one foot high.
As soon as the concierge guarding the door saw Chen Zheng and others, he hurried in to report, and then a middle-aged man wearing silk and dressed noblely walked up quickly with a few servants:
"Your Majesty, Huang Debiao, has met the Lord of the Supervision Department. He is greeted at a distance, so don't be surprised!"
The man who spoke had a look of anxiety on his face, so he was naturally the landlord of Village No. 5.
Chen Zheng got off his horse and said nothing nonsense:
"I received a report that there is a ghost in our village, and your son has been hit by a ghost? Where are they now?"
Sitting on thousands of acres of land, Huang Debiao's eyesight is far beyond that of ordinary people. After taking a quick look at Chen Zheng's figure and temperament, Huang Debiao was sure that he definitely had two brushes in his body, and he was slightly relieved:
"Yes, sir, please come with me."
Chen Zheng and others casually handed the hemp rope to Huang Debiao's servant, and then followed him straight into the mansion.
This house is much larger than the one Chen Zheng lives in the city. It has rockery gardens, pavilions and pavilions. It is obvious that he has a lot of money.
And soon, after walking through the courtyard and corridor, and arriving at a remote courtyard in the back house, I heard the sound of chains rattling in a room, and the roars of beasts:
"Kill kill kill kill kill!"
"Death, death, death!"
"You are all going to die!"
The voice was strange, and Chen Zheng's eyes moved slightly. Huang Debiao immediately stepped forward to open the locked door in person, and said bitterly:
"Sir, please take a look, what is going on?"
Chen Zheng stepped in and saw an iron frame erected in the middle of the room. At the same time, a thin man with disheveled hair was tied to the frame by thick chains, screaming and struggling.
Judging from his description, his face was ferocious and blue, with bulging veins, his cheeks were sunken, and he was skinny and skinny. Only his eyes radiated a crazy bloodthirsty light, and he roared crazily at Huang Debiao who came in.
It seems that there is no alienation
Although the other party's expression was ferocious, it was still childish for Chen Zheng, who was used to seeing evil spirits. His expression did not change at all and asked:
"How did he become like this?"
There is sadness and regret on Huang Debiao's pampered face:
"Sir, my son Huang Dalang heard that someone was sneaking up at night four days ago, so he took the young men in the village to look for them. As a result, those young men said they were looking for him, and suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing over.
, then all their torches were extinguished, and then Dalang suddenly went crazy for some reason and began to attack the people around him indiscriminately.
After I received the news, I rushed there with people, finally subdued him, and brought him back. However, he seemed to have gone crazy. Even I, the father, couldn't recognize him. It was like he had degenerated into a human being.
A beast!
I had no other choice but to temporarily restrain him with chains. But I don't know what happened. After being tied up, he became thinner and thinner day by day, and his bones became slimmer. It was as if his blood, blood, and flesh were constantly being lost. He had already practiced marrow.
It is simply unbelievable that most of my cultivation was lost in just two or three days!
In order to save him, I have been looking for doctors everywhere in the past two days and invited many famous doctors to come to see him. However, they all said that there was nothing they could do after a few looks. Only one of them saw some clues and said that he might have been hit.
The evil spirits must be eliminated before the original state can be restored.
But you should also know that those people from the Zhu Xie Department are always shouting and killing Xie Sui's subordinates. I really don't dare to invite them over, so I ask the adults from the Supervision Department to come and save my son. If
If you are saved, I will thank you greatly!"
Huang Debiao is also a big landowner, so he will definitely give him a lot of thanks for saving his son. Chai Tiefeng, Chang Qing and others suddenly showed expressions of excitement. On the other hand, Chen Zheng walked forward with a calm expression and took a look:
"You said that after he was possessed by the evil spirit, his energy and blood began to drain?"
Huang Debiao said sadly:
"That's right, although my eldest son is incompetent, his talent is pretty good. He keeps taking decoctions and supplements every month. He has also reached the stage of marrow training, and his physical foundation is quite strong.
But just a few days after he was hit by evil spirits, he has become like this. I have to find a way to give him a lot of tonic decoction every day to prevent him from getting weak and dying."
This is interesting.
Chen Zheng asked again:
"What about the so-called evil spirits? Has Huang Dalang encountered any evil spirits since he encountered them?"
Huang Debiao hesitated:
"Yes. I don't know if my elder brother brought some unclean things into the house after he got into trouble. These days, some people can always hear the cry of a ghost who is neither male nor female late at night. But I mobilized people to remove it.
I searched the whole house but found no trace.
I suspect that if I want to cure my son, I'm afraid I have to solve the problem at its source. Your Excellency, the patrol envoy, is so powerful that he will definitely control these evil spirits. Can you stay in my house for two nights and get rid of the evil spirit? I will do it.
Thank you very much, I will never let your hard work go to waste!"
"You do have some knowledge."
Chen Zheng glanced at him, nodded and said:
"It's okay to stay here for two nights, but if you know yourself and your enemy, I'd also like to ask a few young men who were traveling with Huang Dalang that day to find out the situation."
"No problem, no problem!"
Huang Debiao hurriedly agreed:
"Those young men and women have been injured and are recovering at home. I will ask the housekeeper to take you there!"
As he spoke, he called a middle-aged man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks from the side:
"Steward Tang, go and take this gentleman to the homes of those young people!"
Butler Tang accepted the order, nodded and bowed to Chen Zheng and others:
"My lords, please follow me."
Without saying much, Chen Zheng waved his hands and followed the other party out of the house with four of his men, heading towards the homes of those young and strong men.
Zhuangzi was not that big in total. After a while, Butler Tang led him to a fairly good small courtyard with a mud house. After knocking on the door, a young peasant woman came out in fear:
"Tang, Butler Tang?"
Butler Tang pretended to be kind and said with a smile:
"How is your big cow recovering? Mr. Huang has invited some adults from the Supervision Department to come over and want to ask questions, is that okay?"
The peasant woman glanced at Chen Zheng and the others, and lowered her head in fear:
"Da, Da Niu can't get out of bed yet, but I should be able to just ask questions. Sirs, please come in."
Chen Zheng nodded and walked into the simple courtyard first and entered the earthen house.
The room was simple and dark, and was filled with a pungent smell of medicine. I saw a short and sturdy man lying on the bed with dirty bandages all over his body, trying hard to get up:
"Tang, Butler Tang, these are..."
"No need to get up, no need to get up."
Butler Tang quickly stopped him and tried to look friendly:
"This is the inspector of the Supervision Department, Mr. Chen Zheng. He wants to ask you some questions. Just lie down and answer them truthfully."
Daniel coughed twice and looked at Chen Zheng and others in awe:
"Sir, you can ask whatever you want to ask. The common people will tell you everything they know."
Chen Zheng looked at him: "Did Huang Dalang injure you after he hit the evil spirit?"
Butler Tang looked a little embarrassed, while Daniel nodded weakly:
"Yes."
"When and where did he hit evil?"
"Not long after the third watch, northwest of Zhuangzi."
"Did you people see or hear anything at that time?"
"Listen, I heard it. We first heard a very strange cry, which sounded like a man and a woman. It was hard to distinguish. Everyone was frightened at that time. The eldest son immediately took us
Find the source of the sound.
As a result, before we could find anything, suddenly a very cold wind blew over and blew out all the torches in our hands. Then, the eldest son suddenly went crazy for no reason and started to attack all of us.
There were even two who were put on the spot by him.”
Having said this, a look of fear suddenly appeared on Daniel's pale face, while Butler Tang beside him started coughing repeatedly.
Chen Zheng glanced at him indifferently:
"If you make any noise again, I'll get out of here."
Butler Tang's expression froze and he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.
Chen Zheng turned his gaze back:
"Then, is that all?"
Daniel smiled bitterly:
"I don't know what happened next, because I was far away from the eldest son at the time. I ran away after being hit a few times, and even fainted halfway."
"Okay, you can rest."
Chen Zheng didn't say much. He immediately left the room and said to Butler Tang, who was following timidly:
"Take us to find a few others to ask."
The steward of a small farm, even if he was dissatisfied with Chen Zheng, did not dare to make any mistakes. He could only nod and bow in agreement, and then led everyone to other houses.
It's just that like the big cow just now, these people were all seriously injured, and what they knew about the situation was exactly the same, so I couldn't ask anything else.
Seeing this situation, after coming out of the fourth house, Chen Zheng said immediately:
"Okay, Butler Tang, you can go back by yourself. We will walk around the village and visit, and we will go back by ourselves later."
"But."
Butler Tang was about to say something when he met Chen Zheng's indifferent eyes. He immediately shrank his neck and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, gentlemen, please help yourself."
With that said, he retreated obediently and returned to the Huang family's mansion.
After this person left, Chang Qing asked curiously: "Sir, what did you discover?"
"There is a saying that goes without wind, no waves."
A sneer appeared on Chen Zheng's lips, and he ordered his four men:
"You all, go to each house and ask around to see what evil the Huang family has done recently!"
