Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Wandering Daoist


The person who performed the straw peeling operation on Zhao Jinzhou was a man named Zhang Mengcheng.

Because he did not have any practical experience and lacked relevant technical information, the peeling operation was not successful.

First, the ratio of straw to lime was seriously imbalanced.

Excessive lime seriously dehydrated the epidermis of the specimen, causing the sutures on the back and abdomen to crack and become detached.

In the end, even the face suffered severe cracks.

It was really unsightly to put it in a courtroom.

Just at this time, news came from the Yamen that the supervisor sent by the imperial court would personally pay homage to the remains of Comrade Zhao Jinzhou, the number one care recipient in Hubei Province.

This really made Zhang Mengcheng anxious.

To be fair, Zhao Jinzhou's peeling operation was a failure, at least it shouldn't be like this.

At this time, Zhao Jinzhou was completely unrecognizable.

It was even said that except for the outline of a person, he basically couldn't be seen as a person.

What if?

Mr.

Inspector Shi is dissatisfied and wants to lose his job.

Thinking of this, Zhang Meng Cheng simply came up with a stupid way to cover up the cat poop to solve the annoying cracking problem, which is to pour water on the surface of the corpse skin, and then apply butter to moisturize it, hoping to temporarily relieve the dehydration of the corpse skin.

Let’s get started by confusing the supervisory history first.

"Sprinkling water" After hearing this, Zhang Guozhong felt that something was wrong.

Mao Shanshu believes that incomplete corpses are one of the main reasons for the aggravation of soul resentment.

In ancient times, beheadings must have the criminal's head restored and reburied, otherwise it will easily cause trouble.

This has been the executioner's profession for thousands of years.

Unwritten rules.

And this Zhu Yuanzhang was not good at Yin and Yang and did not know the channeling skills.

He just slapped his forehead and came up with a trick like peeling off skin.

He was already prone to causing disasters.

It happened that he happened to meet this coward who was cold and ignored the sourness and added fuel to the fire.

Drenched in water, Zhao Jinzhou suffered a misfortune and his body was found dead.

"Well, it was okay at the time.

Zhao Jinzhou's body was placed in the Yamen for twenty years.

The Yamen is a place where evil spirits gather.

Only by using evil spirits to suppress resentment can peace be achieved."

Taoist priest Chen Guang shook his head, "But don't forget Okay, the yamen is a place where political officials are responsible for political affairs, so how can they always put corpses in the courtroom?"

In 1398, the 31st year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang died.

Emperor Hui Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne and changed the first year title to Jianwen.

One is Hongwu and the other is Jianwen.

It is not difficult to see from the reign name that compared to Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's one-size-fits-all strategy of "using heavy codes in troubled times", Zhu Yunwen's governing policy seems to focus more on persuading people with virtue.

As expected, the first decree issued by Zhu Yunwen after he ascended the throne was to find a place to remove all the specimens of corrupt officials displayed in the government offices.

The reason was that when he was young, he had seen this kind of specimens derived from skinning meat among the people with Liu Yingzhang, the inspector.

What a disgusting specimen of a corrupt official.

To be honest, he was so disgusting that he didn't do anything after he took the throne, so he first thought about getting rid of these specimens.

Jianwen, as the name suggests, is to establish a polite government and a polite court.

How could a polite court leave such disgusting things everywhere?

When disposing of Zhao Jinzhou's corpse, an official in charge originally ordered the government officials to bury him back in the Tomb of the Eight Thieves.

However, more than 20 years later, and when the Tomb of the Eight Thieves was dug, he did not erect a grave to save trouble. , just put up a wooden sign, but it has long since disappeared.

The government official who initiated the matter thought it was unlucky, so he dug a hole on the spot and casually buried the body skin outside Longhu Gang.

As a result, that night, the three government servants who buried the body and the driver who drove the carriage all died suddenly.

After autopsy, it was found that the cause of death of these four people was exactly the same as sudden heart attack.

According to current theory, it was myocardial infarction.

Naturally, rumors spread in the streets and alleys for a while that it was Zhao Jinzhou's ghost who wanted to kill him.

The then prefect Lei Zhong Li once asked a group of monks to practice chanting sutras, but to be honest, this kind of aimless chanting was meaningless.

People who knew a little about Taoism could easily see that, given the situation at that time, , the most appropriate measures should be It is necessary to find the location of the Eight Thieves Tomb as soon as possible, exhume Zhao Jinzhou's body and bury it with his skin.

First, he can be liberated, and then buried with his relatives, and then be liberated again.

Only in this order can the evil be quelled while ensuring safety.

Ghost's resentment In order to further the practice of salvation, the original intention of the prefect Lei Zhongli to find monks and Taoists to chant sutras and practice the practice was just to calm people down and stabilize people's hearts.

As for whether there is resentment or resentment, and evil spirits are not evil ghosts, no matter how much you can make trouble, it is just making trouble in Longhu Gang. , none of my business At that time, several Taoist priests reminded Lei Zhongli that just chanting sutras like this was equivalent to a waste of taxpayers' money.

If you want to eliminate the root cause, you must find the corpse and save it.

However, Lei Zhongli misunderstood that these Taoist priests were trying to exaggerate the facts.

Earn more money and almost be punished for it.

When other monks saw this situation, they had no choice but to symbolically complete this meaningless ritual, take the money and leave, thus missing the best period of salvation and laying the groundwork for disasters in future generations.

Time flies, and four years fly by.

In 1402, the third year of Jianwen, Zhu Di led his troops to invade Yingtian Mansion.

The news of Zhu Yunwen's disappearance spread throughout the country.

Regarding this matter, the common people have heard about it, but they feel very numb.

Most people think that this is no different from brothers in the country breaking up and fighting.

They are all the country of your old Zhu family.

Who becomes the emperor matters?

For a while, my bird incident did not cause any more waves, except for a few virtuous ministers and loyal officials who complained a few times for Zhu Yunwen, and were all labeled as active reactionaries and dealt with in full.

There is a saying that "there is one emperor and one courtier, and one new official is replaced by another."

This year, the prefect Lei Zhongli returned home due to illness, and the new prefect Zhang Wenyong came to Xiangyang, intending to replace Li Guang, the general magistrate.

He wanted to appoint a new official, and it was normal to promote close associates and recruit old troops.

Others, if they change, they will change.

After all, the arms He can't twist his thigh, but as Li Guang, he can never be replaced: first of all, Tong San is a fat man with a lot of money; secondly, during his many years in office, especially after Zhu Yunwen succeeded to the throne, he implemented loose policies and the court's anti-corruption efforts After drastic cuts, this Li Guanglian embezzled I have made a lot of money by taking bribes seriously, and the bribe money is nothing more than that, but the corrupt money has already been frozen for several years.

It has been accumulated for several years.

This big hole cannot be plugged in a day or two.

Once I am replaced, This huge deficit will be revealed in an instant In the world, although the laws at this time were much looser than those in Hongwu years, beheading twice was basically enough.

After repeatedly flattering Zhang Wenyong to no avail, Li Guang became murderous and wanted to take advantage of Zhang Wenyong.

Find a way to get rid of it before you do anything to yourself.

To be honest, it is not difficult for Li Guang, who is powerless, to set a killing target.

The key lies in implementation.

Zhang Wenyong is an official of the imperial court.

He wants to hire ordinary bandits and thieves to assassinate him.

The risk is too great.

Once the assassin Being caught and biting oneself out would be the sin of the Nine Clan's excavation of ancestral graves; he wanted to poison himself, but Zhang Wenyong kept alienating himself, so there was no chance.

Just when Li Guang was at his wits' end, a bizarre serial murder case suddenly occurred in Xiangyang City.

The causes and consequences of the entire case can only be described as "unbelievable".

The occurrence of the murder suddenly made Li Guang, who could only sit back and wait for death, suddenly feel angry.

A spark of hope arose.

There is a nouveau riche named Zhang Cong in Xiangyang City who made his fortune by selling smuggled salt.

Ten years back, he was still eating corn cobs for three meals and two meals.

In recent years, he had a little money on hand, so he thought about moving his ancestors' tombs to build high-end tombs for Guangzong Yaozu. .

Three generations of Zhang Cong's ancestors were poor and lower-middle peasants.

They were all buried in Longhu Gang.

However, not long after the tombs were moved, a murder occurred in Zhang Cong's family.

Before moving the grave, Zhang Cong had a concubine named Zeng Shan'er, who had never been on good terms with Zhang Cong's first wife, Mrs.

Liang.

The Liang family has a younger brother named Liang Zhongbao, who is a gangster and thinks about revenge on Zeng Shaner all day long.

Not long after Zhang Cong moved his grave, Zeng Shaner died inexplicably at the door of the house.

The night before his sudden death, he had sex with Zhang Cong.

When Zhang Cong went out in the morning, he found his concubine dead at the door.

He was frightened.

He almost peed on the spot.

After an autopsy, it was found that Zeng Shan'er died from neck restraint.

To put it bluntly, he was strangled to death.

The new prefect, Zhang Wenyong, was a person who did not believe in evil.

He did not think about any evil ways at all.

After a brief understanding of Zhang Cong's family relationship, he concluded that the Liang family encouraged his brother to kill Zeng Shan'er.

He was taken to the lobby and tortured severely.

After the torture failed, he was temporarily thrown into prison.

As a result, just one day later, Zhang Cong himself died.

The cause of death was roughly the same as Zeng Shaner's.

Zhang Wenyong took all the servants of Zhang Cong's family to the lobby and tortured them one by one, but nothing happened in the end. result.

While the servants of Zhang Cong's family were being interrogated in the front hall, Li Guang came to the prison.

Seeing Li Guang, this Liang family can be said to be like seeing a savior.

To be honest, selling smuggled salt has been a capital crime in all dynasties.

The reason why Zhang Cong was able to sell smuggled salt with such arrogance for several years was entirely thanks to Li Guang.

There were a lot of dirty things between the two families.

Li Guang went there, and Li Guang inquired about Zhang Cong's move to his ancestral grave in the name of redressing the injustice of the Liang family.

When Liang told her about Zhang Cong's tomb relocation, Li Guang immediately thought of the tragic death of three government officials a few years ago for burying the body of Zhao Jinzhou.

Li Guang had always been skeptical about the legends about ghosts and gods in the streets, but These two things are too weird.

After coming out of prison, Li Guang visited Zhang Mengcheng, the 250-year-old man in charge of the autopsy.

According to Zhang Mengcheng's analysis, the neck bones of Zeng Shaner and Zhang Cong were broken when they died.

The strength was unprecedented.

The perpetrators must have been skilled in kung fu, and at least they must have practiced eagle claw kung fu, iron sand palm and other kung fu.

A street gangster like Liang Zhongbao shouldn't have such great strength.

Hearing this, Li Guang guessed in his heart that even if Zhang Cong had enemies, his concubine Zeng Shan'er would not have anything to do with those Jianghu heroes.

The only explanation for why someone can break the neck bone is The perpetrator was possessed by ghosts and gods.

It seemed that the rumors that had been circulating in Xiangyang Mansion for decades were true.

Zhao Jinzhou's innocent ghost had indeed survived.

In fact, as far as Li Guang is concerned, if there is any other way to kill Zhang Wenyong, he will never take advantage of these ghosts and gods.

But now he has indeed reached the point of desperation.

He is about to step down.

Once the new leader is appointed When Tong Xuan examines the previous official documents, his death is coming, and now he can only act as a doctor and put his treasure on these ghosts and gods.

If the ghosts and gods can be summoned to kill Zhang Wenyong seamlessly, and then a new prefect is appointed and his subordinates are replaced, this whole process will take at least a year.

If such a long time is not enough to plug the hole, at least it will be long enough to fly away and remain anonymous.

And just when Li Guang was complacent about coming up with a solution, the question came up again: How can he make the ghosts and gods harm Zhang Wenyong?

Is it possible to dig out Zhao Jinzhou's body and bury it in Zhang Wenyong's courtyard?

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

I don’t know where Zhao Jinzhou’s body skin is buried.

Even if I know, I’m afraid he will be the first to die.

Coincidentally, just when Li Guang was about to turn from joy to worry, and went to investigate for clues near Zhang Cong's house, the behavior of a wandering Taoist caught Li Guang's attention.

This man first walked around Zhang Cong's house for a long time, and saw the iron locks.

After Gao Xuan, he kept asking his neighbors about the whereabouts of this family.

Seeing this, Li Guang hurriedly stepped forward to salute and told the wandering Taoist everything about what happened to Zhang Cong after he moved his grave.

After listening to Li Guang's words, the old Taoist also sighed, saying that the evil spirit in this house must be filled with evil spirits.

He wanted to earn some hard money for him by exterminating evil spirits and suppressing ghosts, but he didn't expect that all the people were taken away by the government.

After hearing what the Taoist said, Li Guang was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly invited the Taoist to his home and set a table waiting for food and drinks.

With the help of alcohol, Li Guang told Lao Dao all the series of death cases caused by Zhao Jinzhou's specimens in the past few years, and expressed his current situation and his intention to kill Zhang Wenyong.

When he heard that he was going to kill someone and he was an official of the court, the Taoist priest hesitated for a while.

Finally, Li Guang gritted his teeth and simply vomited blood and offered a sky-high reward of three thousand taels of silver.

The bright silver notes placed on the table were like a thousand rays of light.

Article, to say that this amount was definitely a huge sum of money at the time, the new It’s enough to build a Taoist temple of the same size as the Shaolin Temple.

Aren’t you always thinking about earning hard money?

I’ll let you earn all the hard money in eight lifetimes at once.

If you have money, you can make a fool of yourself.

A wandering Taoist I have never seen three thousand taels of silver.

For the sake of banknotes, this veteran agreed half-heartedly
