244. The easy old man who herds sheep, my dears)(1/2)

The sentence "Do you know your guilt" is so light that everyone did not react for a while. They are still praising their strong skills and the verdict is fair.

Only Liu Shanfeng subconsciously stared at Wang Qilin with wide eyes, and lowered his head as if nothing had happened.

Just then, an old man squeezed out of the crowd. He knelt down and kowtowed to Xie Yama: "Old immortal, old immortal, help me, save me!"

Xu Da has just become a clean official and consciously takes it as his mission to protect the people. He asked, "What's wrong with you, old man?"

Wang Qilin looked at the sky and said, "Old man, don't talk for now, Liu Shanfeng, I'll ask you! Are you guilty?!"

Liu Shanfeng shouted aggrievedly: "Sir, what crime did the villain commit? The villain has never violated the law and discipline. He has always been honest and respected me filial to me. The villagers can testify for this, and the whole village can testify!"

The onlookers nodded and looked at Wang Qilin in wonder.

Wang Qilin looked at Liu Shanfeng and asked, "I only asked one question. If you can answer it, I will reward you with fifty silver chunks!"

"Where have you peeled so many almonds these days?"

Liu Shanfeng immediately said: "The villain asked me, don't understand, where did the villain peel almonds these days?"

Wang Qilin pointed to the firewood and said, "There are still many almond shells left there."

Liu Shanfeng smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out that the adults misunderstood. Those almond shells were peeled by me before. Haven't they burned yet?"

Wang Qilin said: "First, you can see when the almond shell is peeled by the opening; second, I asked you these questions, but none of you stuttered, and you answered them immediately. Why? You seem to have expected someone to ask you these questions."

Liu Shanfeng began to swallow his saliva.

Wang Qilin pulled out the demon sword and inserted it in front of him, squatted down and stared at him and said, "You dare to show off in front of me by listening to the Heavenly Prison? This is called playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong, selling articles at the door of Confucius!"

He winked at Xie Hata, and Xie Hata shook her sleeves, and a whirlwind flew up from the room, and the almond shells in the firewood suddenly flew out and landed on the ground.

Liu Shanfeng hurriedly said, "Are these almonds? I peeled these almonds out, I forgot because this is not for people to eat, this is for feeding chickens..."

"Almonds are poisonous. Fifty can poison a person, and ten can poison a chicken. Whose chicken did you feed?" Wang Qilin pressed step by step.

Liu Shanfeng panicked, he licked his lips hard and said, "It's the pheasant and wild birds in the field. It's late autumn now. Yes, it's late autumn. Many birds fly south. I want to use almond poisonous birds, so I scattered them in the fields..."

"Take me to the fields to look for it. You can't all the almonds be eaten by birds, right?" Wang Qilin didn't give him a chance, and he immediately answered it as soon as he spoke.

The villagers are ignorant and simple in mind, which is normal. Many of them have been wandering around the ground and kang all their lives, and their minds are not very smart.

But they have life experience. There are many apricot trees in the village, and they are all bitter apricots. The name of this apricot is bitter not to say that its flesh is bitter, but to the bitter almonds. This almond is poisonous and dried and ground into powder to mix it into wheat grains and sorghum can poison mice.

The old man who had scolded the three brothers of the Liu family said in panic: "Shanfeng kid, you haven't been to the wilderness recently. You have been serving your father at home these days, and I have seen it all."

The boss of the Liu family was shocked. He rushed up and grabbed his brother's arm and shouted: "You, have you poisoned the old man to death?"

Liu Shanfeng shouted: "I don't have it, how could I do it? Brother, you know me, everyone in the village knows me, I'm filial!"

Wang Qilin pinched the old man's mouth and said, "You come and see it yourself. He still has almond powder in his mouth."

Liu Shanfeng shouted: "Impossible!"

Wang Qilin asked him with interest: "Why is it impossible?"

Liu Shanfeng said panickedly: "My father and my father have never eaten almonds, so how can there be crushed almonds in his mouth?"

Wang Qilin said: "Then please ask the coroner from the county to give your father an appetizer to see if there are any almonds. I don't believe he has digested all the almonds."

Liu Shanfeng was stunned. He knelt on the ground and lost his strength and slowly sat down.

Wang Qilin said: "You have peeled many almonds recently and mixed them into sugar water to cover up the bitterness. You lied to your father to eat it, right?"

"Your father died of poisoning, so he was full of pain. He should have vomited before he died. You cleaned his mouth, so I said there were broken almonds in his mouth. You said it was impossible, right?"

Xie Hata slowly closed his eyes and sang: "Wuliang Tianzun, no wonder the old Taoist felt that the old man had last breath of disaster. It is important to know that the human disaster is strangled in the throat. If it is joy and fun, then the disaster is smooth and weak. If it is death, the tone is fierce and rapid. Your father's tone is cold and cold, this is unjust death!"

Wang Qilin said: "No, but man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. When my colleague released this qi, he also brought out some food residues blocked in his throat. When I smelled the bitter almond smell in this qi, I felt something was wrong. When I saw the almond residue in his mouth, I began to doubt you."

"But I don't believe that you, a filial son, would do such a thing," Wang Qilin said sadly, "so I just asked you what medicine the doctor prescribed for him to be unhealed. If there are almonds in the medicinal herbs, then everything can be explained, but unfortunately there is no in it."

"Later, my colleagues said that the reason why you couldn't find Tongzhu Yinzhu was because the old man was too stingy, so the ghost treasure hiding happened. But I think it was wrong. Whether it was the villagers or your brother, they said that your father promised during his lifetime, and he would give the money to your brothers when he died. Why did he still want ghost treasure hiding?"

"Then I had a guess that he probably didn't want a person to find out where his money was hidden."

"So he doesn't want anyone to know? Of course it's you, the unfilial son who killed his life..."

"Enough!" Liu Shanfeng stood up angrily, "I am unfilial? I am an unfilial son? If I am unfilial, who has served him over the years since he broke his body?"

"I cook for him, wash and bathe him, and take shit and urine. All the clans see this. Who is not moved? He is the old stubborn and not moved!"

"This old stubborn man didn't raise our brothers well before. Now he is scared and thinks of us again. But what's the use of thinking about us? I'm the only one who serves him with four sons. At most, my three brothers will come to him to give him some food, clothes, shit, and urine. Have they ever cared about it?"

"What's the result? In the end, he actually thought about the good things of the three of them, saying that I was not serving you well!"

"I came back to serve him because of his broken money! I carried a big bag in the county town, but I still didn't earn enough fifty silver baht in a few years? He thought I was coming for his money! He would threaten me with money and say that if I didn't serve him well, I would give the money to my three brothers and not give it to me!"

"Not only that! He was really guarding against me and carefully dug the foot of the bed to hide money. In order to avoid finding it, he also ate the wood chips. In the end, he got it and was unfavorable!"

"Is it ridiculous? It's not good for him to get it. My three brothers ran far away. I was the only one who served him, but he was still not satisfied. I picked him up and even thought it was too important for me to take action. I went to the clan elder to accuse me of being unfilial!"

"Hahahaha! He actually said I was unfilial?"

Speaking of this, Liu Shanfeng was already a little crazy. He laughed to the sky, and then gritted his teeth viciously: "Then I will let him see what an unfilial child looks like!"

The door of the house suddenly became silent.

The clan elders and several elderly people were all stunned.

The three brothers of the Liu family were also overshadowed.

Xu Da was silent for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would have left long ago. Why should I stay and be furious?"

Wang Qilin said: "The feelings are pitiful, but the heart is punishable. How to judge the clan elders, please come and go with the magistrate. I will report the case to your county truthfully."

He looked at the sky and hurriedly wanted to go out and continue walking north.

The clues to the scholar's disappearance are the top priority!

At this time, the old man who had come out to call for justice had rushed up again, stopped him and knelt down and kowtowed: "Help Master, please help me! God help me!"

The old man had a slutty face with a ragged dress, leaning forward with a smell of sheep coming to his face. He trembled and shouted, "Master Guan, help me, I was entangled by a four-gathering ghost. This ghost wants to take me to kill him, so that he can reincarnate in the underworld!"

Wang Qilin paused and said, "Xu Da, stay and listen to what he said. Taoist priest, follow me to the north!"

The old man shouted, "Master, don't go north, there is a four-way ghost in the north!"

The Sijie Ghost is a relatively rare type of ghost, unlike the hanged ghost, starved ghost, and water ghost.

This kind of ghost is because a robber blocks the road and commits sins during his lifetime. If he escapes the sanctions of the underworld after his death, he will wander on the road and become a ghost from the four-way relationship.

The robbers are cruel when they are alive and difficult to deal with after death, so the four-way ghosts are more harmful. They will wander in the dark or dangerous places of major traffic arteries everywhere. They are less capable during the day and will only use tricks such as ghosts covering their eyes and ghosts hitting walls to tease passers-by.

At night, they become arrogant and will fascinate a person to circle around the road. Then, when a carriage, ox cart, etc. arrive, they will fascinate the horse urethra, cow eyes, donkey eyes and kill people, so as to collect the souls of the dead to practice.

When he heard that there were four ghosts in the north, Wang Qilin wondered if the scholar's disappearance could be related to the four ghosts. So he grabbed the old man and asked, "Okay, then tell me what's going on in the north?"

The old man said panickedly: "My surname is Yi, and I make a living by sheeping, so those who know me all call me herding sheep. Lao Yi, but I used to be herding cattle, but later sheep. Now I am a lonely old man, and I live by herding sheep. I drive the sheep around on weekdays, and wherever I go..."

Wang Qilin looked at the sky and said kindly: "Old man, can we speak more quickly?"

The old man said, "Baby, no, Master Guan, listen to me and say carefully, there are ghosts! Four-gathering ghosts!"

"You said you said."

The old man said, "I came here a few days ago, and there were so many wastelands here. I wanted to put weight on the sheep. Then yesterday, I heard the flock of sheep bleating and thought there was a thief who stole sheep, so I hurried out to see it, but I saw a ghost!"

"I saw a four-way ghost at the intersection!"

"The ghost knelt at the intersection, and then a ghost flew from the sky. The ghost from the four gates asked for relief from the ghost. The ghost told it that after dawn, a young man in a white coat would come from the south on a horse. The youth would be drowsy at the intersection. You hide at the intersection and push him down from the horse. In this way, the horse was frightened and ran forward. He suddenly fell down and he would definitely fall to death!"

"I knew this and felt uneasy. How could a good young man be killed by a ghost? So I drove the sheep to the south road. Sure enough, at noon, a young man in a white coat came on a horse. He was almost asleep with his head down."

"I quickly drove the flock to the road, and the horse stopped in frightened. The young man woke up. Then he was no longer drowsy and rode his horse across the intersection..."

Wang Qilin said vaguely: "I understand. I will go to the intersection to destroy the four intercourse ghosts later!"

The old Taoist stomped his feet and said, "Sir, that's not the case! Yesterday afternoon, I met an old Taoist priest again. The old Taoist priest fainted from hunger. I fed him a piece of dry food to wake him up. The old Taoist priest woke up and thanked me, saying that my Yin Tang was black and was entangled by a ghost, and he must have been offended by a ghost."

"He drew a thunder in my hand and said that if a ghost appears, he would use this thunder to slap it. But if he can't kill it, he can only blow it up for a night and dare not follow me again. Then he asked me to run to this village, saying that the village will meet an expert, and the expert can destroy this four-game ghost!"

Xie Hata said, "Wait, show me your hand."

Lao Yi raised his palm to show him, and a black word was written in his palm: Lei.

It's quite particular, and there is a circle outside the word "Lei".

Xie Hata smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, you have been deceived by someone. Wuliang Tianzun, how is this palm thunder? This is just a word written with an ink pen. This person is really, if you want to fool people, at least write the word cinnabar, it turns out to be a word ink!"

The old lady of the sheep said firmly: "It is impossible. The Taoist priest is a master. This is the thunder in the palm of his hand. Last night, the four-handed ghost came to me. I pushed it with my palm, and it exploded and fainted from the ground. Then I ran to the village overnight. Then I met you today. Look, he is definitely an expert!"

Xie Haoma said: "But this is just an ordinary ink word!"

Wang Qilin came up to sniff the sheep Lao Yi. In addition to the smell of sheep, there was also a very light smell of gunpowder.

So he said, "Uncle, have you ever thought that what exploded last night was not the thunder in the palm of your hand, but the four-gauntie ghost set off a firecracker on his body, and he lit the firecrackers with just one hand?"

Lao Yi, the Sheep said: "What is it going to set off firecrackers on its body? Will the four-way ghosts still set off firecrackers?"

Wang Qilin was helpless and said, "What kind of four-gaunt ghosts? They are pretended to be humans! You have never thought that those four-gaunt ghosts, young horse-riding men and Taoist priests, are they fakes? They pretended to fool you before and afterwards? Think about it, the Taoist priest you met will have such Taoist thunder in the palm of your hand, how could he still faint from hunger?"

The old man grazing the sheep was stunned: "What are they pretending to be? I am happy to be happy?"

Wang Qilin sighed and said, "Scare you away and then steal the sheep in your sheep pen!"
