"My wife, are my eyes blind? How is this possible?" Wen Ci said.

"Don't be afraid, you two. I'll knock on the door. If there's anything wrong, protect yourselves first."

"My wife, be careful."

Wen Ci and Wen Li did not stay where they were, but followed them to the left and right, emboldened by the number of people.

Song Tingran knocked on the door, but no one opened the door. Wen Li boldly helped and knocked hard.

door, open.

It startled all three people.

Song Tingran couldn't care less and kicked them all away. They were still full of funeral clothes, but there was no one there.

Otherwise, with such a big movement and so many servants from Miss Luo's family, it would be impossible for none of them to come out.

"who are you?"

A voice of questioning came from behind. Song Tingran and the other three turned around and saw that this guest looked a bit familiar.

"My wife, this person is the person you asked about in the morning." Wen Li said softly.

"We are here to find someone. Do you know where this family has gone?"

"Go wherever you need to go. I am here to guard the door and cannot be disturbed."

This man closed the door of Luo's house and sat at the door, not allowing anyone to come near.

"Who are you? You seem to be very familiar with this family. I asked you in the morning if this was the Luo family, but you said no."

Only then did the girl guarding the door look at Song Tingran seriously, and realized that this was the person from the morning. Her eyes were red and swollen.

"I misremembered for a moment, please leave."

Wen Ci and Wen Li felt that this place was very eerie, and the people in front of them couldn't ask anything. They wanted to take Song Tingran away, saying that they might know the whereabouts of Luo Mingyue by looking for the driver who picked up the bride in the morning.

This Ping'an Town may not be big, but it's not small either. According to Qin Gen'er, ghost marriage means being buried alive.

According to the current situation, it seems that they will get married during the day and be buried alive at night. The person must be found before the sun sets.

Before Song Tingran left, he thought of Cai Yun's words. Of course, the Luo family would not cry like this in a dark marriage.

Then there is only one possibility.

"How much money did the Luo family give you to sell your husband alive and bury him with the dead!"

The girl guarding the door's eyes instantly became sharp, then she quickly lowered her eyes and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"I don't care about your family affairs, but the people in my family were deceived without knowing it. Do you understand, let me ask you a question, where are they?"

"Shut up! I am just a gatekeeper. I don't know what you are talking about. If you don't leave, I will report you to the police!"

The reporter asked the gatekeeper to remind him.

Song Tingran and the others immediately went to the government office. There were only officials on guard at the door, but no acquaintances were seen.

Saving a life is better than building a first-class pagoda, and besides, this person came from the embroidery workshop.

Almost without thinking, she banged the door drum. The county magistrate was still inside handling official business, and she met Song Tingran and the others directly.

"Who is in this hall, and what grievances are there?"

The county magistrate naturally recognized Song Tingran, but didn't say much else.

"Sir, a man named Luo came to our Song family embroidery shop five days ago. He said he was looking for a husband for the girl at home. He chose Luo Mingyue, a servant of the embroidery shop, as his second husband. He came in today. But I just now I learned that it was a lie. It is not a normal marriage at all, but a ghost marriage for a dead person. The Luo family is already empty. Please send someone to find it as soon as possible. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope."

This was the first time I had seen such a case. The county magistrate inquired about some details in detail, then sent people to the Luo family to check the situation, and then ordered people to look through the land deed files to see where the Luo family's land was.

Burying alive cannot be buried casually on the road. There must be a place.

"Song Tingran, according to the information you provided, Luo Mingyue has received eighty taels of gift money from the Luo family to get married. However, the information about the ghost marriage you obtained has no conclusive evidence and is all speculation. The only evidence is that the Luo family From a wedding hall to a mourning hall.”

"Yes, my lord."

"If this is a misunderstanding, you will have to bear the consequences."

"My lord, I am willing."

Wen Ci began to kowtow, saying that if it was a misunderstanding, he was willing to bear any punishment for Song Tingran.

The same goes for Wen Li. The two of them kowtowed and begged, making the county magistrate frown.

"Song Tingran, before everything comes to light, you should take care of your family first. This is the government office, not your own home."

"Yes, my lord, they are just concerned and chaotic."

Song Tingran held the two people's hands and said it didn't matter. Even if it was a punishment, it was just a small loss of money and it would not be a problem.

Only then did the two husbands stabilize.

In fact, if it is fake, you will not only suffer physical pain, but also be fined.

The girl who was guarding the door of Luo's house was quickly brought back. She kept shouting that she was wronged. When she saw Song Tingran, she shut her mouth and her eyes became vicious.

"Say!"

The girl guarding the door dared to be arrogant to Song Tingran, but she did not dare not to tell the truth in front of the county magistrate.

It turned out that Miss Luo gave the gatekeeper's family one hundred taels of silver, plus the house.

After the ghost marriage is over, all the decorations in the mourning hall can be taken down tomorrow, and the gatekeeper girl and her family can live in it.

"Sir, this business is voluntary for both of us. How can this violate the regulations?"

The county magistrate thought for a while and found that ghost marriage is a custom in some places. As long as it is two families and they negotiate a proper compensation, it is not within the scope of the regulations.

"If you have negotiated with the Luo family, I will not care about it, but now it involves Luo Mingyue. According to Song Tingran, he was deceived. You know the situation and should cooperate with the investigation. Otherwise, it will be a cover-up. "

The gatekeeper girl was frightened and told everything she knew. She guessed it right to the magistrate. The location of the ghost marriage was on the Luo family's property.

The master also found out that Miss Luo had just bought this house half a month ago, and the land under her name was also newly purchased, and the area was not that large. The important thing is that Miss Luo was not named Luo at all.

According to the name on the property, it is Yang Lixiang, from the Xiangchuan side, which is far away from here.

The county magistrate immediately led people to the fields. Song Tingran and three others followed. The gatekeeper girl was temporarily detained here.

The land in Ping'an Town is not as large as that in the village. Most of it is cultivated by farmers on the edge, so as soon as they pass by, they can see the light of fire in the dark night.

Without further ado, the officials immediately surrounded the place, and Yang Lixiang did not expect to attract the officials.

"Sir Wan'an, let's burn some paper money here for our relatives. Isn't it too loud? I'll just pack up and leave."
