Demons and monsters often cause evil and strange things, and it is common for them to harm people indiscriminately.
But after a brief inquiry, Chen Zheng discovered that the situation in the Huang family was obviously different.
Especially after experiencing Wang Yun's transformation into a zombie demon, he had more thoughts, so he asked several people to go separately to inquire.
After receiving the order, Chang Qing, Han Kaiyun and Ding Laiyou left separately to investigate.
Chai Tiefeng followed Chen Zheng and randomly selected a dilapidated mud house at the request, knocking on the door and asking.
The person who opened the door was an old farmer over fifty years old. He was as skinny as a stick. He only opened the door a crack and said nervously and fearfully:
"Two gentlemen, what's the matter?"
Zhuangzi is so big, and what everyone visited just now obviously made most of the tenants aware. Chai Tiefeng took a step forward:
"We are on duty from the government office. This is Mr. Chen, the inspector. I have something to ask you!"
The old man timidly opened the door:
"My lord, please come in, my lord, please come in."
The dilapidated mud house was cold and damp, with simple furnishings. Apart from a bed and a table, there was no other furniture, and there was a pale old woman lying on the bed, covered with a straw mat, looking sleepy.
Something was cooking on the earth stove in the corner. Chen Zheng glanced at it and found that it was a small pot of porridge that was as clear as water.
Chen Zheng glanced at him: "This old man, is someone in the family sick?"
The old farmer said cautiously: "My wife has contracted the cold and is weak and is recuperating."
Chen Zheng went to the pot and weighed it: "Is this what people who are sick should eat?"
The old man looked embarrassed and said calmly:
"My family doesn't have much food. If we cook too much at once, we may not be able to survive this winter and make adults laugh."
Chen Zheng's eyes fluctuated slightly.
The old farmer's face is covered with ravines and vicissitudes, and his stature is also stooped. It is obvious that he has been engaged in high-intensity and heavy labor all year round.
However, in this world, after half a lifetime of hard work, you still have to plan carefully to cook a pot of porridge when your wife is sick. How sad.
Regardless of ancient or modern times, if the oxen and horses pulling carts are thin and skinny, there is a high probability that they have blood-sucking worms in their bellies.
If a person is diligent and hardworking, but finds that life has been difficult and has never changed, then there must be wolves and beasts gnawing at his flesh and blood.
This is the case for the old farmer in front of me.
The old farmer didn't know what he was thinking, but he still looked cautious:
"You are so brave, ordinary people. I wonder what your lord has to ask me?"
"Of course I want to ask about the Huang family. You should all know about Huang Dalang. I would like to ask if he had done anything shady in Zhuangzi before this?"
The old farmer's expression changed obviously, and he subconsciously said in fear:
"Sir, my lord, I don't know anything, but you still do."
"Be bold!"
With this look, it was obvious that something was going on. Chai Tiefeng shouted coldly:
"My lord is asking you, do you dare to hide it? Hurry up and get the truth, otherwise you will be taken back to the government office immediately and you will be severely punished!"
"S-Sir, I, I."
This threat made the old farmer tremble like chaff, and he was even obviously frightened.
"Okay, no need to scare him."
Chen Zheng waved his hand and looked at the old farmer:
"If you know something, feel free to tell it. I also sent people to several other houses to inquire. Huang Debiao won't know which of your families said it."
As soon as he said this, the old farmer hesitated:
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I dare to say this."
Chen Zheng nodded: "So, what did Huang Dalang do before he hit evil?"
The old farmer was still a little scared and lowered his voice:
"Young Master Huang has done too many bad things. Just before Chuan Xie, he had harmed Fusheng's family. He not only harmed Fusheng's wife, but also ruined their family. Everyone in the village is saying that Mr. Huang Chuanxi
The evil is that Fusheng turned into a fierce ghost and came to seek his life."
"oh?"
Immediately he got the clue, Chen Zheng's eyes moved slightly:
"Exactly what happened, tell me in detail."
Opening up the conversation, the old farmer said quickly:
"Fusheng is the son of an old carpenter in our village. At the beginning of spring today, he got a daughter-in-law next door, named Sophora japonica.
The Sophora japonica she married was mute, but she was very pretty and hardworking. She worked in Mr. Huang's house doing laundry and mending, and the couple lived a pretty good life.
But the good times did not last long. One day just over a month ago, when Sophora japonica was about to go back after finishing the work, he happened to bump into the drunk Master Huang, and then he was dragged into his house and raped directly. "
It's not unusual for a bad boy to do something like this. Chen Zheng said expressionlessly: "Then what?"
The old man lamented:
"Huaihua ran back crying. When Fu learned about the situation, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot. Then he immediately ran to find Mr. Huang and Mr. Huang to argue. But he didn't even think about what kind of person Mr. Huang was? If he went there, he would still
After saying a few words, he was beaten by Mr. Huang, with broken bones and tendons. If Mr. Huang hadn't appeared, he might have been beaten to death."
"But Mr. Huang showed up and did not provide him with any justice. He only symbolically imprisoned Mr. Huang and gave him some money as compensation. However, his wife was raped and humiliated, and he was almost beaten to death. Fusheng was a full-blooded man.
How could a man like this swallow such a breath? So he rested at home for a month, and after his body was almost recovered, he left Zhuangzi and went to the city to report to the official to punish Master Huang."
Chai Tiefeng frowned slightly when he heard this:
"How could he, a powerless carpenter, sue Huang Debiao's son?"
The old farmer said dullly:
"Who says it's not the case? He just filed a lawsuit here, and within two days Mr. Huang got the news. Then when Fusheng was returning from Lingqiu County for the second time, several people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the way.
The murderer chopped off both of his legs without saying a word!
It is said that Fu Sheng crawled on the ground for more than a mile with his hands before he was discovered by the people in Zhuangzi. How could that situation be so miserable?"
There is no need to say who sent the murderer. Chen Zheng was silent for a moment and asked:
"So, this Fu Sheng died like this?"
"Not at the time."
The old farmer numbly said:
"I heard that Fusheng was still alive when he was sent home. Huaihua had no choice but to beg for help. She kowtowed countless times and even went to Mr. Huang's house.
As a result, somehow, Mr. Huang actually sent a doctor from the house to diagnose and treat the wound, and he used medicine to treat the wound. Fusheng actually woke up. The people in the village said at the time that Mr. Huang was so kind that the sun was shining.
Come out from the west.
But no one could have imagined that within a few days, news suddenly came from Zhuangzi. Fusheng still died on the bed, with a pool of blood on his chest, and he could not rest in peace. Huaihua also hanged himself nearby. When he was found, his body was completely stiff.
Already."
Um?
Chen Zheng narrowed his eyes:
"Fu Sheng was put to death by a doctor from the Huang family? But if Huang Debiao wanted him to die, he would have just not sent a doctor there. Why bother?"
"I don't know, sir, but Fu Sheng's death is not that simple."
The old farmer suddenly hesitated and said:
"Someone in Zhuangzi saw that the day before Huaihua hanged himself, Master Huang went to Fusheng's house again, and some people heard Huaihua's cry. Maybe he killed Huaihua in front of Fusheng."
"What?"
Chen Zheng's eyes suddenly turned cold. Even Chai Tiefeng, who had been used to seeing dirty things over the years as a clerk, couldn't help but turn dark:
"What a beast that is worse than a pig or a dog!"
Zhuangzi is so big, it is impossible for the neighbors next door to hear any loud noises.
Considering what Huang Dalang did before, he is completely capable of doing something so unconscionable as having sex with a woman in front of her.
"This is what Young Master Huang did before he fell into trouble."
The old farmer didn't have much anger, he said very numbly:
"Sir, I know these things. Please don't tell Mr. Huang that I said it, otherwise my family may not be able to live in peace."
Suppressing some of his emotions, Chen Zheng nodded:
"Don't worry, we won't mention you."
With that said, he took out a few silver baht from his waist and put them on the table. He then walked out with Chai Tiefeng amidst the other party's gratitude.
At this time, Chang Qing, Han Kaiyun, and Ding Laiyou rushed over to report the situation.
The situation they asked about was very different from what the old farmer said. There were only slight differences in details, but the evil deeds Huang Dalang did were basically the same.
"Sir, it seems that the perpetrators are the evil ghosts transformed by Fusheng and Huaihua."
Chang Qing sighed and said with disgust:
"This Huang Dalang is entirely to blame for himself, but we can't ignore it. What do you think we should do next?"
Chen Zheng's eyes flashed and he sneered:
"What else can we do? Of course we have to wait and see the good show. After all, if it is really a ghost seeking life, the Huang family mansion will probably be very lively these nights!"
With that said, he waved his hand and brought the four of them back to the Huang family mansion.
After receiving the news, Huang Debiao rushed to the front hall immediately, handed over his hands and asked tentatively:
"Master Chen, have you found out any clues?"
As the saying goes, like father, like son, Chen Zheng glanced at him and did not mention anything about Fu Sheng and Huai Hua:
"We have some clues, but it depends on the situation at night. It depends on whether the evil spirits will show up if we are stationed here."
"That evil spirit will definitely appear again tonight!"
Huang Debiao's eyes were gloomy and he lowered his voice and said:
"Sir, to be honest, after my son was brought back from the evil spirit, two nurses in this house have been killed by the evil spirit in the past two days. Those who actually saw it, except my son, are all dead. I
I suspect that thing will most likely show up to harm someone tonight!"
"Um?"
Chen Zheng narrowed his eyes:
"Why didn't you say anything about this just now?"
Huang Debiao sighed helplessly:
"Don't blame me, sir. On the one hand, it's because I didn't have time to tell you in detail just now; on the other hand, this Zhuangzi's people are worried now. If the news spreads, the entire Zhuangzi people may have to flee, so I concealed something. Please forgive me, sir."
."
As he said that, he came up to Chen Zheng and presented a gold ticket with a denomination of one hundred gold baht:
"Sir, this is my apology. Please pay more attention to me tonight. If you can get rid of the evil spirits, I will give you a lot of money to thank you. I am also a martial arts practitioner, and I will bring people to cooperate with you."
Looking carefully, Huang Debiao's palm joints are thick and his temples are slightly bulging. It is obvious that his martial arts training is not low, and he may even have a blood transfusion level.
But at this age, it was time for a blood exchange, so it could only be said to be barely enough. Chen Zheng sneered secretly, but he accepted the golden ticket unceremoniously in his hand and said slowly:
"Okay, then I won't investigate Mr. Huang's previous concealment, but where are the bodies of the two nursing homes you said were killed by evil spirits?"
Why does Huang Debiao:
"Sir, I have arranged for someone to bury the body outside Zhuangzi. It may be troublesome for you to see it.
But I have personally inspected them, and I can tell you that those corpses are as dry as my son, as if all the essence, blood and vitality have been sucked away, but there is not a single wound on the body, which is strange and inexplicable."
"I see."
Chen Zheng stopped asking questions and looked playful:
"Then, it seems that only tonight will we know what the evil spirit is."
Time flies by.
A few hours later.
As the sun set over the mountain, the entire farm fell into darkness and silence.
After the evil incident happened, the doors and windows of every house were closed tightly, and they didn't even dare to sleep at night, so they were always on guard.
At this moment, the Huang family's mansion is brightly lit everywhere. The servants, the concierge, and the few remaining guards are all guarding the place with open fire and armed guards.
As for Chen Zheng, he was sitting comfortably in the courtyard in the middle of the mansion with his four subordinates.
He was sitting in the pavilion with his eyes slightly closed, recharging his energy; Chai Tiefeng and others were quite nervous, standing at the four corners, their whole bodies on guard.
The dangers faced by the Supervision Department are often no less than those of those evil-killing warriors. One or two of them can only train the internal organs and marrow. Although they have some ability to protect themselves, they dare not be careless at all.
Half an hour, an hour.
The rich ink color permeates the heaven and earth, making the whole world feel depressed and quiet.
During Chen Zheng's meditation, his five senses spread out like never before, invisibly reflecting everything around him in his mind.
[Tianmu Alchemy Technique], the state of Tongmu has made his five senses and six consciousnesses extremely sharp.
Although he was sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, he could clearly sense the breathing, heartbeat, and every tiny movement of the four people around him.
Not only that, he could even see the gentle night breeze outside the house and the swaying vegetation a few feet away, as if he had a pair of invisible eyes.
Under such a powerful perception, there was almost nothing that could be hidden from Chen Zheng's ears for several feet, so he was not as nervous or uneasy as the two demon slayers next door. Instead, he was relaxed and at ease, and even waited with some anticipation.
Until after the third watch.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a short scream came from not far away, causing him to suddenly open his eyes.
call!
Almost as soon as the sound came, the wind suddenly rose, and his tall figure suddenly flew out, rushing towards the source of the sound.
Four people, including Chai Tiefeng and Chang Qing, also hurriedly followed.
After two or three blinks, Chen Zheng had followed the sound to the backyard, and then he saw:
A man dressed like a nursing home was holding a knife and slashing at his companions around him crazily. His eyes were red, and he was described as twisted and crazy, just like the evil Huang Dalang!
