[Comprehensive] Pang Yu's Classic of Getting Rich in the Northern Song Dynasty

If you say that the oldest person in Yanzi Village who is still able to come out to activities is Eighth Uncle. He has already lived in his eighties, his body is still strong, he can speak clearly, and he can do some light work.

As soon as someone asked about Xiang Po, the eighth uncle had no taboos. At his age, he was no longer afraid of death, and his children and grandchildren had filial piety, so he was satisfied.

At such an old age, which thing in the village has he not seen?So he said, "Xiang girl came here as a refugee. There was a big flood in the south that year. Xiang girl came here and was adopted by a Taoist woman here. On weekdays, the Taoist woman surnamed Ma also took care of the village. The people inside burn incense, and after the Taoist woman in the back has left, it's the incense girl who will do these things."

"Ma Daopo? What does that have to do with the horse widow?" Ma Han asked.

"It doesn't matter, Widow Ma married from another village." Eighth Uncle said.

Ma Han continued to ask, "I heard that there is a ghost in Yanzi Village recently? Have you seen that ghost?"

Originally, Ma Han thought he would get a more definite answer, such as yes or no. After all, the village leaders basically answered in this way. Unexpectedly, the eighth uncle said, "Like you." He was taller than Mahan.

Mahan: "..."

Village Chief: "... Eighth Uncle is getting old, maybe he misunderstood, my lord, let's go ask somewhere else?"

Ma Han replied with difficulty, "Okay."

I didn't get any news later, but Mahan kept thinking about the phrase "like you" in his head, which made him feel like he had done something wrong. After thinking about it, he shook his head, spat, what was he thinking? Woolen cloth!

At first, he was a bit skeptical about whether the horse widow had something to do with this matter, but it was the people in the village who said that the haunted ghost had a stature like a horse widow, and he babbled and had some voices, just like the ditty that the horse widow loved to sing when she was alive. .

But are hauntings and murders related?It feels related, but it also feels okay.

He was about to go back, but Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun had already arrived here.

Lin Yu felt that there was a very weak gathering point of spiritual power here, but the spiritual power of this person seemed to be dissipating, but there was no ghost energy here, so if there were really ghosts, it was probably a man-made disaster.

Hearing what Ma Han said about a fragrant lady here, he thought about it, and went there on his own.

Gongsun Ce saw Lin Yu go that way with sharp eyes, and he followed quietly.

Lin Yu seemed to know where he was without asking the way, so he turned around in front of a house and knocked on the door, "Is anyone there?"

It was a tall girl who opened the door. She opened the door a little, looked out timidly, and gestured with her hands, as if asking if there was anything wrong?

Lin Yu smiled and spoke softly, "I want to come and ask for some water."

The girl opened the door a little wider, shook her head and hands, and pointed in the direction of the previous house.

Lin Yu immediately nodded regretfully, turned around and left, the girl stretched out her head, saw him walking away, and then slowly closed the door.

After Lin Yu walked a few steps, he turned a corner and slipped out Gongsun Ce who was watching his behavior in the corner.

"How do you know I'm here?" Gongsun Ce asked with a smile.

"People have qi, and everyone has different qi. Some people have a sound when they walk, and a breath when they breathe. People with advanced martial arts like Zhan Zhao can also hear it. I can naturally feel Mr. Gongsun," Lin said. Yu said, "For example, if you kill someone, you will have the resentment of the dead person on your body, and there may also be blood and fishy smells. For example, men and women have different auras."

There was a lot of meaning when he said this.

Gongsun Strategy thought for a while, "That... girl just now?"

The girl just came out sideways, the collar was also wearing a high collar, her Adam's apple could not be seen, and her face looked like a woman's. Is this a man?Gongsun Ce couldn't confirm it.

Lin Yu said with a faint smile, "Sometimes not talking may not necessarily mean that you have a disease."

"What did Yu'er feel to come here?"

"It's the feeling of qi, a wave of qi is dissipating..." So Lin Yu popularized the knowledge of spiritual power and aura to Gongsun Ce.

After listening to Gongsun Ce's story, he seemed to understand a little bit, but he knew that there should be a person here who met the standards of the charlatan that Lin Yu said earlier, but this person was not a charlatan, and the murderer might have come from Those who came into contact with the talisman knowledge here.

Having said that, I feel that the 'girl' just now has a lot of doubts.

Over there, seeing that the two of them had disappeared, Bao Zheng and Ma Han came over. Fortunately, someone on the road saw the two of them coming this way. Helpless.

After not walking far, he saw the two people in front of them who didn't know what to say, so Ma Han hurriedly called them to stop.

"Why did you two come here?" Bao Zheng looked around.

The entire village is long and narrow. This is the end of the village. There is a pond at the end of the village. You can clearly see this. Bao Zheng immediately felt that the pond was not very comfortable.

"I feel that there is something here, so I came here to have a look." Seeing him looking at the pond, Lin Yu couldn't help but say, "People have died in that pond, but anyone who drowned may have a darker atmosphere, but recently there is nothing of."

Everyone knew that he was talking about the Widow Horse incident.

"Bao always thinks that this is not a coincidence. Ma Han, go and check the life experience of that widow horse again, in more detail, to find out what connection she has with this Xiang Po." Bao Zheng thought for a while and said.

"Yes, Mahan took the order."

"Mr. Gongsun, follow me to visit this family again." Bao Zheng said, "Mr. Pang, why don't you take a look?"

Lin Yu nodded, "It's natural."

Ma Han took a few guards to go, and only two people stayed here, and more people continued to search for any clues left by the murderer at the scene.

A man stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door was knocked on several times today. Obviously Miss Lian Er didn't mean to be impatient. She opened the door and saw Lin Yu in the group. She looked no different from a shy ordinary girl.

It's just that Lin Yu happened to see that look just now, with impatience and disgust, as well as some resentment and murderous look.

Is this showing off?

"My lord is here to investigate the case and needs to ask some questions. I wonder if the girl will let us in?" said the little official who knocked on the door just now.

Lian'er stretched out her hand, waved it, and gestured, but no one could understand. She opened some doors, took out a pole placed by the door, and wrote a few words on the ground.

It meant that someone had been here before, and the little official didn't say anything to her face. He said kindly, "My lord is interested in some old things in this village, and wants to meet the girl's elders."

Lian'er hesitated for a moment, but let them in anyway.

There is nothing special in this yard, except for a strong smell of medicine.

Entering the room, I saw a big paper man. This paper man was wearing green clothes, red lips, and dark eyes. It looked a bit like a living thing. No wonder Ma Han said he was panicked.

It's just that Bao Zheng wasn't afraid, he glared at the paper figurine, and something seemed to run away, and a majestic aura instantly dispelled the gloomy feeling in the room.

A gust of wind blew in from outside the house, even the curtains were blown, and a coughing voice came from the inner room, "cough, cough, who are you?!"

As soon as the words fell, Lian'er walked in quickly, helped Xiang Po up, and patted her on the back lightly. Master, Xiang Po sighed, "Masters, please come in."

A few people went in and thought they would see a haggard and aging face, but they didn't expect that Xiang Po's face was firm and her hair was well tied. She must have been a great beauty when she was young.

"Forgive me Caomin is still ill and can't get up to say hello, the adults don't know what's going on?" Xiang Po said lightly.

"Xiangpo, the mountain spring pool not far away has turned into a mud pool. There are dozens of dead villagers from Yanzi Village beside them. I have some insights, and I heard that there are ghosts in this Yanzi village, do you think there is any connection between the two."

The corner of Xiang Po's mouth twitched, a little reluctantly, "Your Excellency may know the answer, why would you ask a village woman a question?"

Bao Zheng said: "Then you are acquiescing that the two are related? Or is this the crime you committed or assisted others to commit?"

Xiang Po stretched out her hand and sneered, "Look at the two of us, one of us can't move on the bed, and the other can't lift his shoulders and resist, how did we commit the crime?"

Bao Zheng touched his beard, "I don't know if you have heard a poem, the male rabbit's feet are fluttering, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred, two rabbits walk side by side, can you tell me whether I am male or female? If it is really impossible to pick Of course, there is no reason to suspect that, but how can a man who has been dressing up as a woman for more than ten years have no suspicion? Besides, he is so close to these things?" He pointed to the paper figurines.

The reason for mentioning this is actually because Xiang Po specially emphasized the existence of Lian Er just now.

In fact, things are far from that bad. After all, even if a man disguised as a woman may be just a hobby or concealing his identity, he may not be a murderer. Now that there is no evidence, Lao Bao is just defrauding them.

Xiang Po has more experience, and lightly patted Lian'er's hand, "I was chased and killed, so I had to disguise myself as a woman, and endured humiliation for more than ten years. This murder has nothing to do with him. Besides, he served the old woman day and night, so why do he sometimes do other things?

I really don't know about the talisman array, and I can't offer any insights. If you have any insights, you might as well tell the grassroots, so you can feel at ease. "
