Chapter 21: The tragic death of the imperial city one after another!

"Ah! There are dead people!" The uncle who pushed the swish cart roared. Everyone gathered around, but they covered their noses far away and did not dare to get too close. Xia Shiming stopped moving and mixed with the crowd.

I saw a man lying pale in a squeer, with his neck hanging down with a strange curvature.

In the bustling crowd, people pointed to the body, and a woman said, "It's so pitiful to die!"

A man said dissatisfiedly, "What's pitiful? It's much better than the female corpse of the government office, at least the facial features are sound!"

"Ah!" There was an exclamation from the crowd, and a well-dressed woman exhaled bitterly, "Your father-in-law, your father-in-law!"

Everyone automatically got out of the way. Despite the stench, she rushed up and shook the body. How tragic the situation was. Xia Shiming frowned and took a step forward, "Help me carry people out!"

A few strong little work also consciously carried people out three or two times, "How can a man be so light?" One of the young men asked. I'm afraid it's excessive desire!" Someone immediately replied.

The woman seemed to recover from her sadness and said harshly, "My father-in-law is not the one who provokes flowers!"

He was so excited that the people who spoke shrank their necks awkwardly. Xia Shiming came forward and said, "Do you have any enemies?"

The woman shook her head, "He is just an honest businessman. He is kind and has never quarreled with anyone!"

"Is that a financial murder?" Xia Shiming asked again.

The woman seemed to think of something. She quickly touched the skirt of the body and grabbed a silver ticket. "The money is all there, and the jade wrench finger in his hand is also there!" But...but my father-in-law has indeed lost a lot of weight, a circle less than yesterday!"

Wake up the dreamer with one word and absorb the essence? Xia Shiming still had some doubts, "Are you sure you're not mistake?"

"How can it be? Even if he turns to ashes, I will recognize him!" The woman turned over his cuffs and said, "Look, this is the lotus I embroidered on his cuffs, and my name!" ..." The woman said and began to cry again, "My father, the lotus is still there. Why did you leave first!"

A man in the crowd whispered, "Oh, you said that there was no wound on his face or neck, and his clothes were fine. How did he die?"

"Ah! Isn't it sucked away by a female ghost? I've heard that female ghosts only suck men's yang, so that they won't be lost!" After the man finished speaking, the eyes around quickly gathered on him.

"Do you think there is a ghost?" A timid man trembling his teeth, and his words were a little unclear.

"How could there be so many strangely dead people in the imperial city? I think I have to go back to my hometown to take refuge in the countryside. I can't stay here anymore. I don't know which day I will die. I don't even know how I died!"

Immediately echoed, "It's a small matter to make money. It's not good to lose your life. I also want to go back to my hometown!"

Seeing that everyone was panicked, Xia Shiming said, "Dear neighbors, there will be no ghosts and gods at the feet of the emperor. I believe that the magistrate will solve the case, and the emperor will also protect us!"

"What you said is light. This has killed two people. Can you guarantee that no one will die again?"

"Yes, life is at stake!" The sound of questioning sounded.

Xia Shiming waved his head and said, "I am the housekeeper of Xuanwang Mansion. Our prince will definitely intervene in this matter and will not let your lives be left alone. Let's go back first. Cover the door at night and don't walk around at will. We will catch the murderer as soon as possible and give everyone a peaceful imperial city!"

The people breathed and looked at it. One person stood up and said, "When we go back to our hometown, we have to put down the business at hand. Everyone, let's just trust him. If anyone dies, it's not too late for us to leave!"

After hesitating for a while, everyone also promised not to leave for the time being. The crowd slowly dispersed. Xia Shiming was relieved and looked at the woman still crying bitterly. He came forward and said, "Madam, let your husband enter the earth quickly. The body can't last long in this weather!"

The woman ignored his kind words and continued to cry loudly. Xia Shiming had no choice but to go back to the house first and discuss this matter with the prince.

"Do you suspect that it was a fox spirit?" Long Xiao stared at Xia Shiming and was a little surprised. It seemed that all kinds of goblins had been dispatched.

"Look at the man who seems to have been sucked clean, and his lips are a little blue! He was abandoned in the bucket. Although it could cover up some smells, I smelled a strong smell of foxen on his body!" Xia Shiming said.

"Recent, I have also smelled some unusual breaths. I'm afraid it's the same as Mu Ze predicted. The demons sensed the existence of the dragon ball and are gathering here!"

Xia Shiming nodded, "The demonic spirit in the city is getting stronger and stronger. Two people have died tragically, and the people have begun to be turbulent. We have to think of a way!"

"En, this country is not easy to stabilize. You can't let your power be destroyed. Get rid of the demons. Let's take her away, and there will be no danger in this place!" Long Xiao's frown stretched a little.

In the court, the emperor Longyan was furious, "This kind of tragic murder happened at the foot of the imperial city. What did the magistrate eat? I can't even catch the murderer. I'm really raising you for nothing!"

The magistrate was so scared that he knelt down, "Your Majesty, the causes of death of these people are very strange, not like human beings!" The voice of the magistrate is getting smaller and smaller.

"Bak, these words that shake the root of the country actually came from the mouths of my subjects. How do you let those people believe in me and live at ease! Yu Linjun dragged him out and beheaded him!"

Long Xiao came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate!"

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, forming a dangerous arc, "Do you also want to stop me?"

"Return to the emperor, if you kill the magistrate and add the panic of the people, it won't help. It's better for him to make up for his achievements, catch the murderer, and return the imperial city peace!"

After Long Xiao finished speaking, the magistrate looked at him gratefully. After all, no one in the court was willing to go through the muddy water and plead for him.

The emperor pondered for a while, "Well, according to the words of King Xuan, I will limit you to catch the real murderer within three days!"

"Three days?" The magistrate was shocked. Where did he go to arrest people? You can't catch ghosts.

"Too much? That's two days!" The emperor said so that the magistrate was so shocked that he couldn't speak. I'm afraid there will be less time to talk about it, which simply forced himself to die.

If you die early, you will die later. The magistrate looked at Long Xiao with some resentment, but Long Xiao gave him a reassuring look.

The national master Youyou said, "If you can't catch it, will King Xuan be punished together?"

The emperor frowned, but couldn't find any reason not to hold him responsible.

Long Xiao looked at the national master with a smile, "Today I will set up a military order. If I can't take down the thief within two days, I will put my head on my neck with both hands and never regret it!"

"Good!" Without waiting for the emperor's dissuasion, the national master clapped his hands and said, "King Xuan really has courage. The civil and military officials testified, and we will wait for the prince's good information!"

Long Xiao smiled and said nothing, but the emperor was full of worries. If he couldn't catch it, won't his dear daughter be widowed? I couldn't help complaining about his impulse.

A secret fight in the court began like this. The national teacher smiled proudly, but he didn't know who lost and who won!
