Chapter 402 Attracting Thunder

It was not the morning shift, and Wang Maochun and Chen Shanmeng came in casual clothes.

When they saw Zhu Cheng and Zhu Peng were both here, they knew it must be related to Zhu Shizhong's thunder-killing case.

Wang Maochun and Chen Shanmeng were both in their fifties and had spent most of their lives in the officialdom. They were still standing at the door, so they guessed that Ge Hengtai was looking for Zhu Cheng and Zhu Peng to make them uncomfortable.

If not, Ge Hengtai would have nothing better to do than to call them both here.

Sure enough, when Ge Hengtai saw them coming in, he just exchanged a few words, handed them a black broken wood, and then told them the whole story.

"Tell me, my two adults, is this just making random accusations and taking human lives lightly?" Ge Hengtai asked sternly with a dark face.

Wang Maochun saw Ge Hengtai angry, but his face was calm, and he just stood there without saying a word.

Chen Shanmeng pondered for a while, then turned to look at Zhu Cheng and asked, "Zhu Sizheng, did you say that this thing can bring down thunder?"

Although Chen Shanmeng's voice was light, the meaning of the question was like a mountain pressing down on his head.

Zhu Cheng immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't deny it, but he didn't dare to respond.

There was silence in the hall, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Zhu Cheng. He felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

Just then, Duan Rong suddenly coughed.

In this silent hall, his cough at this time was no different from beating a drum.

Sure enough, Ge Hengtai, Wang Maochun and Chen Shanmeng all looked at him. Wang Maochun and Chen Shanmeng didn't know Duan Rong yet, and their eyes were even more puzzled.

Duan Rong said, "I'm sorry, my throat is not feeling well. But that thing can indeed draw down thunder from the sky."

Chen Shanmeng looked Duan Rong up and down and asked, "Forgive me for my poor eyesight, sir, which government office are you from?"

Ge Hengtai immediately introduced Duan Rong's identity to Wang Maochun and Chen Shanmeng, and both of them looked at Duan Rong again with understanding.

Chen Shanmeng said, "Sir Duan, are you saying that this thing can draw down thunder from the sky?"

Chen Shanmeng weighed the broken wood in his hand and looked at Duan Rong.

Duan Rong said, "That's right!"

Chen Shanmeng said, "What evidence do you have? Sir Duan, I have been dealing with criminal law for most of my life! This is the first time I have heard of drawing down thunder from the sky to commit murder. Moreover, it is such a small thing? Without further evidence, it is probably hard to convince people!"

Duan Rong really admired Chen Shanmeng's sophistication and tolerance.

Chen Shanmeng clearly thought he was talking nonsense, but he could come up with such a long string of high-sounding nonsense.

Duan Rong said: "There is no special evidence."

Chen Shanmeng still had no expression on his face after saying this. But Ge Hengtai and Wang Maochun smiled faintly.

Duan Rong said: "We can only draw down the thunder again."

Ge Hengtai and Wang Maochun's smiles froze on their faces, and they all thought they had heard wrong.

Chen Shanmeng's eyes jumped, and he weighed the broken wood in his hand again, saying: "You mean to use this thing to draw down the thunder again?"

Duan Rong said: "Not this. This one is broken. I will make another one to draw down the thunder again."

Everyone in the hall looked at Duan Rong with astonishment, including Zhu Cheng and Zhu Peng standing beside him.

Duan Rong wanted to tell them that this is called an experiment. A series of operations or activities designed to test a theory or confirm a hypothesis. In Yang Zhenning's words, 90% of science is experimental activities, and the foundation of science is experiment.

Chen Shanmeng looked at Duan Rong, and saw that his face was calm and his eyes were gentle. At this moment, he even doubted that the thing in his hand could really attract thunder from the sky?

Chen Shanmeng's eyes turned, and his tone was quite admonishing, saying: "Lord Duan, this matter is serious, don't joke about it!"

Duan Rong said: "I know. It's actually quite troublesome to attract thunder from the sky again. But if not, Lord Ge will accuse us of making random accusations and taking human lives lightly, right? Then we can only attract it again."

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this. Is this a troublesome thing?

Can only attract it once more? ? ?

Listen to your tone, it makes this thunder from your home?

Do you think you are the god of thunder? !

Zhu Cheng didn't care about etiquette at this time, he directly pulled Duan Rong aside.

Zhu Cheng looked at Duan Rong. He was quite grateful to Duan Rong for not hiding away at this time. Instead, he took over the matter. He was really at a loss at that moment.

Zhu Cheng whispered: "Brother Duan, if we admit the mistakes now, there is still room for maneuver. Zhu Peng and I will only deduct some salaries, and you will only deduct some merit points. With your previous resume, it is not a problem to advance to the inner sect disciple. But if you insist on it, I am afraid that the matter will get bigger and bigger, and it will be more difficult to end."

Duan Rong said: "Don't worry! Lord Zhu, if something really happens. Just tell them that I asked you to arrest people. It was also me who said that the thunder was attracted. You two are at most guilty of negligence."

Duan Rong finished speaking and patted Zhu Cheng's shoulder with a smile.

Zhu Cheng was speechless. For some reason, he could see that Duan Rong seemed very confident.

"Could that thing really attract thunder?" Zhu Cheng's heart suddenly wavered.

Duan Rong was of course very confident.

Because this thing had been verified countless times in previous lives, and had already been widely used.

As the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

This thing, in essence, is actually the structure of a lightning rod.

The lightning rod, if we talk about its principle, should be called a lightning rod. However, it guides lightning into the ground to protect the safety of buildings and people.

But the person who murdered Shangshu Ling Zhu Shizhong actually guided the lightning into the water flow around the bed, killing Zhu Shizhong and Li Muping who were having fun on the bed.

Although no one knows who the person behind this is. But this person has obviously mastered the method of guiding the thunder from the sky. He may not know the principle, but he obviously discovered this method. However, this discovery is very likely just some kind of accidental event.

Duan Rong walked back to the center of the hall, looked at Ge, Wang, and Chen, and said: "This matter is settled. But we have to wait for the thunderstorm weather. I can't be sure of the specific date. During this period, I hope that Lord Ge can ensure the personal safety of those craftsmen."

Ge Hengtai was slightly stunned. At this time, Duan Rong was still making demands on him. However, Ge Hengtai always had a bad temper, and said loudly: "Don't worry about this! If one of them dies, I will take off my head to pay for their lives!"

"Okay!" Duan Rong said: "Duan needs to make some preparations, so I'll take my leave first."

After Duan Rong finished speaking, he clasped his fists and turned to walk out.

Zhu Cheng's heart was tense, and he immediately bowed and said: "My lords, I'm also taking my leave!"

After Zhu Cheng finished speaking, he hurried away.

Zhu Peng also bowed and was about to leave, but Chen Shanmeng immediately stopped him and said: "Take this evidence away! You're so careless!"

Zhu Peng then took the blackened piece of wood in Chen Shanmeng's hand, bowed hurriedly, and hurriedly chased Duan Rong away.

As soon as Duan Rong walked out of Ge Hengtai's mansion, Zhu Cheng and Zhu Peng chased him one after the other.

At this time, the two no longer called Duan Rong Lord Duan, but directly called him Brother Duan.

"Can you really draw down the thunder?"

"Tell me the truth. Are you fooling them? Or are you really going to draw down the thunder?"

Duan Rong suddenly stopped, looked up at the stars in the dark sky, and asked: "It's still summer now. The thunderstorm in Shenyun Mansion should not take too long, right?"

Zhu Peng suddenly said: "Wang Maochun and others will definitely ask the old Taoist priest in the Sitianjian about this. The old Taoist priest can tell whether it will rain the next day by looking at the stars at night."

"Really?" Duan Rong was very curious.

Duan Rong always felt that Zhu Peng was a little unreliable, so he looked at Zhu Cheng and asked: "Is the old Taoist priest really that powerful?"

Zhu Cheng said: "The old Taoist priest has some skills. He can accurately calculate the floods and droughts. As for normal rain, he can still accurately predict it within one or two days."

Duan Rong heard this and smacked his lips slightly.

There are so many strange people in the world! Duan Rong found it incredible that the man who could discover the method to draw down the thunder, and the old Taoist who could predict the rain by observing the stars in the Sitianjian, were somewhat incredible.

In the world of the previous life, although human beings lived in a prosperous scientific age. But why is it that while technology is developing, people are living more and more tired? Isn't there something wrong?

Since crossing over, I have seen quite a few people with supernatural powers. Sometimes Duan Rong is also reflecting.

Shenyun Mansion, the capital of the capital, is full of flowers and the sea of ​​news is also turbulent.

The death of Shangshu Ling by thunder was originally a very explosive topic.

But now it suddenly came out that someone had drawn down the thunder and killed Zhu Shizhong!

This news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Shenyun Mansion in just one day. What people are more talking about is that a guy named Duan Rong wants to draw down the thunder! To prove that the death of Shangshu Ling Zhu Shizhong was not a natural disaster, but a human conspiracy!

Someone murdered Zhu Shizhong!

It's hard not to be hot with this kind of news!

Even the storytellers in the teahouse began to tell this story.

However, in the stories of these storytellers, there are clearly two factions, one faction praises Duan Rong as a god, while the other faction says that Duan Rong is a charlatan.

Among the people, rumors are spreading everywhere, and no one can agree on one side.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Seeing that rumors were spreading in the city, Wang Maochun was a little anxious, and he could run to the Sitianjian two or three times a day.

It was also a blessing from God. That night, the old Taoist told Wang Maochun that there would be a heavy thunderstorm at Shenshi the next afternoon.

Wang Maochun sent someone to tell the Dali Temple that night, and asked them to tell Duan Rong to be prepared.

At that time, Duan Rong was sleeping soundly in the post station, and suddenly there was a commotion outside, and Zhu Cheng rushed in.

In fact, Duan Rong had already prepared the things, just waiting for the news of the thunderstorm.

Zhu Cheng had just caught Duan Rong and had a lecture with him.

Duan Rong was sleepy and muttered, "Tomorrow's Shenshi? Why are you in such a hurry? I'll have a good sleep first." Then he covered his head and fell asleep again.

Zhu Cheng looked at Duan Rong's calm appearance and was really helpless. He had already brought the news. Seeing Duan Rong fall asleep again, he sighed and thought that he could only come again tomorrow morning.

In the afternoon, 5:00 pm. Beside a wild lake ten miles southeast of Shenyun Mansion.

This barren forest is usually seldom visited by people and is a habitat for wild birds.

But today, it was full of people, and a large circle of people were gathered around to watch the fun.

Wang Maochun didn't expect that so many people would come again. The soldiers and horses who were maintaining order had to dispatch teams after teams to block the black crowd outside.

Zhu Cheng and Zhu Peng looked at the black crowd and their faces turned pale.

If Duan Rong fails this time, it will not be as simple as playing tricks on a first-rank official, but playing tricks on the people of the entire city. One person's spit can drown him!

It was already five minutes past the hour of Wei, and it would be Shen time in three minutes. But the sun was still blazing overhead, it was extremely hot, and there was no wind at all, even the leaves in the wild were drooping. What's more, the crowds of people were already soaked.

Wang Maochun, Chen Shanmeng, Ge Hengtai and others were under the shade of a tree, and the servants were fanning them with cattail leaves, but the wind was also hot, and they were sweating all over.

Ge Hengtai glanced at the big white sun above his head and said, "Did the old Taoist say that it would rain in Shen time?"

Wang Maochun said, "Yes, it was Shen time. Don't worry, there are still three minutes."

Duan Rong was not far away. He found a shady place, sat on the ground, and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

This kind of weather can make people lose their temper due to the heat.

Many people obviously underestimated the power of this hot tiger. Some people who originally wanted to watch the excitement could not stand it and were already retreating, but most of them stayed where they were.

After enduring for a while, Ge Hengtai suddenly stared at the clerk with a sundial not far away and asked, "What time is it?"

The clerk said, "Your Excellency, it has just passed the Shen time!"

Ge Hengtai jumped up from his chair and said, "It has passed the Shen time, and there is still this big white sun. That old Taoist..."

Before Ge Hengtai finished speaking, the wind suddenly blew! He could only swallow his words into his throat.

The strong wind passed by, and the body was cool!

As the wind rose, the dark clouds in the sky were seen coming in a mighty manner!

Zhu Cheng immediately shouted, "Duan Rong, here he comes!"

Duan Rong had already stood up. He turned around and smiled at Zhu Cheng, then he showed his body shape and suddenly jumped out!

In the strong wind, Duan Rong's figure was as fast as a ghost!

Everyone present was shocked!

The dark crowd was blocked by the soldiers about ten feet away from the wild lake, but when Duan Rong flashed into the lake, many sharp-eyed people saw it, and suddenly a noisy noise broke out in the crowd.

Duan Rong flashed to the center of the lake, his true energy surged, and he stood on the lake! At his feet, the lake water was boiling because of the surge of true energy.

Duan Rong flipped his hand and grasped a brand new wooden structure in his hand.

In the past two or three days, he had already tried several times to ensure that there was indeed an arc flashing at the tip of the needle and there would be no accidents on the spot.

The thing was grasped in his hand, and the strong wind blew a small wooden windmill next to the thing and it turned.

The windmill drove the wooden handle and rubbed it back and forth on the fur in the secret compartment.

Duan Rong suddenly leaned forward and untied the thread tied to a lotus flower on the lake.

He had sunk a large stone to the bottom of the lake to fix the object in his hand.

Duan Rong tied the thread tightly to the object.

The object had been fixed on the edge of the lake. Although it was floating back and forth, the amplitude was not large.

Duan Rong took it and flashed, retreating two feet away from the lake.

The moment he stood still, his consciousness suddenly released and covered the entire lake.

He had to pay attention to the condition of the object at any time.

He had two spares for this thing. If something happened to the one in the lake, he would immediately get a replacement.

At this time, the dark clouds had already covered the sky, the sky suddenly darkened, and the strong wind made the lake surface wrinkled densely. The big tree not far from Duan Rong and his sleeves were also rustling in the wind.

Sporadic bean-sized raindrops fell immediately! Crackling!

The strong smell of rain floated up!

Almost without transition, the heavy rain poured down!

Then, a flash of lightning, like a white dragon, tore open the dark sky!

But after two or three breaths, Duan Rong's hair suddenly stood up!

At that moment, his figure suddenly rose, and he saw a black shadow, in the rain, like a leaf boat in the river, flying backwards.

He knew it was coming!

"Crack!"

The sound was indescribable, but it was completely different from the rumble of thunder.

I saw a white light, like a white dragon, rushing down from the sky, and at that moment, its body connected the sky and the earth!

The rain curtain seemed to be non-existent! Because the light was too bright!

The whole wild lake was bright white, like a huge mirror reflecting dazzling light!

It flashed by in just a short moment!

The world was silent! The crowd was silent! It was as if nothing had happened!

People seemed to have not heard the sound of the heavy rain and the whistling wind!

That moment, although very short, seemed to have struck their souls. Everyone was stunned there, petrified instantly...

"The thunder from the sky! It really has been drawn down!"
