Chapter 89 Longevity
"General Banner, I have already seen the bodies of the two criminals. There is a meat ball on their chest and abdomen near the heart veins. It is a fatal disease. Generally speaking, they can't live for three years if they grow this kind of thing, but they But it's not a serious problem, it seems that the body spontaneously has a confinement ability to confine the viciousness of the death disease within a very small range without spreading
In addition, the mental state of the two criminals was abnormal, but no reason could be found. "
After the doctor came to report the results, he confirmed that the brothers of the Zhao family were indeed suffering from a serious illness, and because of unknown reasons, they survived forcibly.
Let the Zhao brothers rest for a morning, and the interrogation will continue after noon, starting with Zhao Hekun.
"My brother and I were born in the ninth year of Kaiyuan"
Shen Hao felt absurd when he heard the words. Now is the Jingjiu calendar, the Kaiyuan calendar is a previous calendar cycle, and according to the custom of the Jingjiu dynasty, a legislative cycle is ninety-nine years. If what Zhao Hekun said was true, wouldn't he be one hundred and sixteen years old this year? !
"I know you don't believe it, but it's true. The reason we want to start a family and get a fake identity is because we've lived too long, which will arouse suspicion."
According to Zhao Hekun, the two brothers have obtained the method of blood steaming for nearly a hundred years. They ran from east to west and from south to north in the land of the old Jing Dynasty, and stayed in each place for at most twenty years. Ten years from now it will be a different place.
In the beginning, they used the guise of "Guashu" to go to the streets to inquire about the birthdays of children from all over the country, and then used the magical artifacts and pan-spirit stones given to them by the wandering cultivator to kidnap them.
But later they found that the income of walking around the streets was too low to afford the consumption of pan-spirit stones, and the inefficiency of inquiring from one place to another was not to mention easy to arouse suspicion. After thinking about it, they set their sights on the Population Department who has information on the local population. As long as they can enter the Yamen Population Department to work as an errand, it will be easy to find a target in the future.
So the two brothers began to study how to enter the Yamen Population Division.
Others may not have so much energy and time to study how to enter a Qingshui yamen, but the Zhao brothers have more. According to Zhao Hekun, the two brothers can rejuvenate after receiving the "treatment" of blood steaming, and their physical characteristics will continue to circulate within a specific range.
Brother Zhao Hesheng will continue to cycle between the ages of 20 and 50, neither too young nor too old. And Zhao Hekun will cycle between the ages of thirty to sixty. This is why Zhao Hesheng looks much younger than Zhao Hekun.
But these are the two brothers' one-sided words, and no one knows whether they have made up the words in advance, so in order to prove the two people's words, Shen Hao went to the recruitment station of Guishan Seminary in Licheng to borrow the "year-old stone" , a magical stone mirror that can accurately measure a person's true age.
This thing is used when the Guishan Seminary is recruiting disciples, it is very precious, at least the Licheng Guards are not equipped with this kind of thing.
Now it's the period of latent training at Guishan Seminary, so the age stone is just left unused in the resident, and the people from the foreign affairs hall are also very face-saving to the Black Flag Camp, and they immediately brought the age stone when they heard Shen Hao's request.
"These two are very strange. Their real age is over a hundred years old."
The deacon of the outer sect of Guishan Seminary was very curious, but he was too embarrassed to ask more questions. He was also worried about the case of Xuan Qingwei being too abrupt and causing misunderstanding. So after leaving the result of the age stone, I left. When I left, I could still hear the man's muttering. I couldn't understand how two people who didn't practice at all could live to this age and still have "good looks".
After Shen Hao saw off the deacon of the outer sect of the Guishan Seminary, he returned to the guard, but felt a wave of fear in his heart.
The Zhao family brothers really resisted the mortal disease by relying on the blood steaming technique, and they lived to be more than a hundred years old without any signs of aging.
In other words, if this continues, wouldn't the Zhao family brothers become "longevity" in the general sense? !
Thinking to a deeper place, Shen Hao felt chilly.
Turning around, he said word by word to Wang Jian and Zhang Liao who had been by his side all the time: "Without my permission, you are not allowed to disclose anything about blood steaming, and those who violate the order will be executed!"
Wang Jian and Zhang Liao nodded quickly and didn't dare to say anything else. They also knew in their hearts that if the news of blood steaming was really spread, there might be big troubles.
People, many times can be bad to the extent that he can't even imagine.
Killing others and letting oneself live forever, this business is probably not a loss-making business in the eyes of many people, but a huge profit!
But Shen Hao still doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe that there is such a cheap longevity in the world! If so, what else do you practice? Are all monks fools?
However, in the next three days, no matter what means Shen Hao used, he was unable to get any more information from the Zhao brothers. Who is the "comprehension that saved them"? Even the face of the other party was very generalized and they couldn't accurately outline the appearance.
Even so, Shen Hao boldly deduced that the monk who taught the brothers of the Zhao family the method of blood steaming was most likely an evil monk. It's just that Shen Hao still doesn't know the purpose of that evil cultivator teaching the Zhao family brothers the method of blood steaming.
In fact, up to now, the series of disappearance cases headed by the Liu Yan case can be closed. The murderer was caught, the evidence was conclusive, and the confession was unambiguous, which fully complied with the closing procedure. But Shen Hao was procrastinating. He always believed that things would never be that simple. His intuition told him that the case was still missing a hidden puzzle piece.
But it dragged on until the fifth day, and it couldn't be delayed any longer. Not only Tang Qingyuan asked Shen Hao to close the case quickly so that he could produce a complete file to block the pressure from Fengri City, but even Chen Yiyun and Jiang Cheng also explicitly and implicitly asked Shen Hao to speed up the progress.
In the end, Shen Hao had no choice but to classify the dossier as "top secret", and then reported it to Tang Qingyuan, Chen Yiyun, Jiang Cheng and a few others. It involves the method of blood steaming, which has not yet been truly understood, and Shen Hao has to be cautious.
But after the dossier was reported, the reaction of the Thousand Households in Fengri City exceeded Shen Hao's expectations.
The approved note reads: The criminals Zhao Hekun and Zhao Hesheng are to be executed immediately, and the execution cannot be made public. The list cannot mention any words about evil monks, nor can it describe in detail the process of the criminal committing the crime.
This is ready to quickly close the lid.
Although it was not a formal order, Shen Hao did not dare not to follow it. Jiang Cheng may have helped him bear the pressure at the top, if he refused to listen, he would be shameless.
That night, Shen Hao grabbed the knife himself, and found a random torture room in Licheng Xuanqingwei Heiqi Camp's garrison as the place to execute the Zhao family brothers.
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. If there is a next life, you two should pay off your debts like pigs and dogs."
Shen Hao raised the wild goose spine knife in his hand, raised it high above the top, and slashed down with the knife at the same time as the words fell, the knife brushed past, two heads fell into the bamboo basket, and the blood spurted from the remaining half of the neck flew out three times Mi Duoyuan quickly lost his energy and fell to the ground.
But the few people in the torture room who were about to collect the corpse were suddenly stopped by Shen Hao and told them to go out immediately.
