Hundred Ghosts

The shopkeeper came in and took a look, it was amazing!

My daughter-in-law is cleaning the pot!

Although the weather has been nice these few days, it is still early spring after all, the water is still icy cold, and his daughter-in-law's hands are red from the cold,

He covered his daughter-in-law's hands in his arms and howled, "My lady...how did you get hurt? How could you do such a thing? Just leave this kind of thing to my husband...it's all because my husband has been busy lately." , did not take good care of you..."

Hearing what he said, the tips of her ears were all red.

"By the way, lady, what's the matter with those two men? I just want to repair the stove and wait for my husband to come back... What will those two fair faces repair... Wait a minute," the salesman's expression changed, " I seem to have seen them both!"

"Is it at Dr. Cai's house?" She said with a smile, "They are the apprentices of Dr. Cai, and they are very nice people."

"Aren't they two apprentices of Doctor Cai!" The salesman slapped his thigh, "I saw their arrest warrants at the city gate this morning! It's posted... all over the city! It's not because they are vicious Is there any treatment? And the bounty is 500 taels of gold! Think about it, the murderer who was posted on the city wall last year had a bounty of only [-] taels, how much should they both... Sigh."

"This..." She was also a little scared, "They are living in Doctor Cai's house now, what a kind person Doctor Cai is, and he is going to take such a vicious person as his apprentice?"

"What's a disciple? They must have threatened Doctor Cai!" the salesman said firmly, "You stay at home now, I'm going to report to the official, and I must rescue Doctor Cai!"

She nodded hurriedly, handed the crispy raw vegetables in the basket to the shopkeeper, and said, "Da Mao's family in the east of the village has a horse, and it can run fast. You give him the cooking and ask him to lend you the horse."

"it is good!"

As night fell, Lin Zi cooked two dishes and brought them to the table for dinner with He Huai and Dr. Cai.

While eating, Dr. Cai couldn't help asking again, "By the way, who are you repairing the stove for?"

"It's the one to the east of your house...the one that turns left on Xiaobanli Road."

Doctor Cai suddenly had an ominous premonition, "Does that family look sloppy?"

"Well, the floor is a bit dirty." Lin Zi was embarrassed to speak ill of others behind his back.

"Then it's over..." Dr. Cai murmured, "Today we both came out of the city gate together, and pointed at the portraits of you two and said, 'If you can catch both of you, you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life!'"

"Hmm!" Lin Zi thought something bad was going on, "Then let's run away quickly..."

As soon as the door was opened, hundreds of soldiers pointed their guns at them.

Lin Zi: "..."

The shopkeeper stood in the distance and yelled, "Doctor Cai, come here quickly, don't be afraid, the fugitive has been caught!"

Doctor Cai was furious, "You you..."

The salesman patted his chest and said, "Don't be afraid, Doctor Cai, the officials have already caught the fugitive, so you don't need to be threatened by them!"

"..."

Lin Zi and He Huai wiped the rice grains from their mouths, and raised their hands to express their surrender.

Then they both went to jail.

The two of them were locked in a cell, and the environment in the cell was quite bad. The cell they were in was better, the straw on the ground was fairly dry and flat, and there was a table.

Although the arrest warrant said that Lin Zi should be treated kindly, it didn't say how to treat Lin Zi kindly. Sleeping in a cell is kind treatment, and a cell where he sleeps better is also kind treatment.

The officials chose the latter.

When I was almost begging along the street to find He Huai, the place I lived in was much worse than here. Lin Zi quickly spread the straw to make a living for one night.

The soldier didn't relax his vigilance. He just looked at the other cells casually and walked around. There were two soldiers on the left side of their cell, two soldiers on the right side, and four living door gods.

The leader who came to patrol was outside the cell, rubbing his chin and said, "Look at them carefully, they are worth ten thousand taels of gold! Tsk, I don't know how to divide this money with my brothers."

Hearing this, Lin Zi was the first to object, "Actually, it was Dr. Cai who discovered us, and the shopkeeper who reported us, so the ten thousand taels of gold should be shared equally between them, so what's your business?"

The head laughed disdainfully, "Boy, where are you talking so much nonsense? Just send them a dozen or so taels of silver."

"Aren't you greedy too much?" He Huai frowned and said.

"Hmph, so what?"

"Little man wins!"

"It's fine if he succeeds, don't worry about his pettyness!" the leader said, "Have you heard of General He? His family has been a good minister for generations. Do you think he has a good end now? People, you should think more about yourself A little more is better."

Lin Zi glanced at He Huai, thinking that luckily the arrest warrant did not indicate his and He Huai's names and identities, otherwise the leader would not know what to think...

"You guys have a good rest. Someone will send you to the capital the day after tomorrow. It's a long journey... Hahaha..." Thinking that he will get such a large sum of money soon, he feels better, otherwise he would ask like the two of them. People who ask east and west should have been whipped long ago.

The two of them managed to sleep in the cell overnight, and the next day they ate some cold soup. At noon, they suddenly turned around a big man with a ferocious appearance. He struggled so hard that the jailer punched his stomach. , clutching his stomach and falling to the ground, unable to speak again.

Lin Zi was terrified when he saw it, and thought that he was lucky to cooperate with him in the past. If he was punched like this, it would take him several days to get up, right?

After they left, Lin Zi said this depressedly, and He Huai patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's all right, I'm here, who would dare to hit you."

"Actually, Brother Li fought well!" said the little jailer who delivered food to them, "That guy, he took a fancy to a girl in the west of the city, but the girl refused to follow her, so he beat that girl alive because of his brute strength." Death is disfigured! This kind of person is not an exaggeration!"

Then there is nothing to say, there is more than enough to die.

In the afternoon, the big man was dragged out and sent back to the cell bloody.

In the evening, the little jailer brought food to the two of them again, and he stared in the direction of the big man's cell with a frustrated expression on his face.

"What's the matter with you?" He Huai asked curiously, "He has been taught like that this afternoon, is it a relief? Why are you unhappy?"

Lin Zi agreed.

He slammed his fist on the table, "You don't know! This guy is a bit powerful here. His family doesn't know where he found him. His mouth is very slippery, and that bastard insists that the girl did it first." , he accidentally beat that girl to death!"

"Ah..." Lin Zi was dumbfounded, "There are such shameless people?"

"The world is full of wonders." He Huai shook his head, "And then?"

"My lord has to punish him with a hundred lashes as punishment!"

One hundred lashes... Lin Zi had seen that kind of braids in executions, and the skin would be torn apart with one lash.

"My lord intended to beat him to death directly, but who knew he was rough and thick! He was still alive!" He beat the pillar angrily, and when he looked up to see Lin Zi eating, his eyes became fascinated, "I suddenly have a Bold idea."

"Put away your thoughts, if you are found out, you will have no good end." He Huai snorted coldly, "It would be great if it is summer now."

"What happened to Da Xia?"

"The weather in summer is sweltering, and his wounds are easily infected. In less than half a day, there will be flies wandering around him. Put him in a cell for two days to ensure that he will stink and produce maggots!"

Lin Zi held the rice in his mouth, neither spit nor swallowed.

After collecting their bowls and chopsticks, the little jailer was a little curious about their identities, "I said who are you? What mistakes did you make? The reward is actually ten thousand taels of gold! Reward orders are posted everywhere."

Lin Zi smiled wryly, "Actually, we don't want to either."

The little jailer continued to ask, but Lin Zi kept silent.

In the middle of the night, the two of them were curled up to sleep, when Lin Zi suddenly stepped on his foot in the dream, and woke up with a jerk.

There was an indescribably coldness in the cell, and he shivered involuntarily.

The candlelight was flickering, and the temperature in the prison seemed to have suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees. Lin Zi opened his eyes and saw He Huai looking at him worriedly.

"It's a bit cold, are you too cold to sleep?"

"No," He Huai said in a low voice, "something is coming."

Under the dim candlelight, the entire prison seemed to have a dark sense of terror, and a rustling of clothes came from the prison door.

He Huai covered Lin Zi's mouth and pressed him to the ground. Lin Zi looked sideways, and a woman in red slowly floated past.

It's Dali!

Da Li knew that it was a Li ghost. From the name, it could be known that it was a very vicious ghost, and it was also one of the twelve common types of ghosts.

There are many records about ghosts, such as "Xuan Shi Zhi", "Night Tan Sui Lu" and other books.

In "Night Story Suilu", there is a ghost who turns into a woman in red, which is a kind of ghost with strong obsession.Li Gui's revenge is extremely strong, and it can achieve the purpose of revenge by making people have nightmares, spreading diseases, and other methods.

In order to achieve the goal, Li Gui will not hesitate to turn into a ferocious ghost, a hanged ghost, etc. to intimidate the enemy to death.

Compared with some ghosts who like to play tricks, Li Gui prefers to complete revenge by himself without relying on the power of others.However, Li Gui was also a poor person during his lifetime, and most of the people he avenges did bad things to him during his lifetime.

Is this... is that poor girl?

After a while, screams came from the cell where the strong man was, but it seemed that no one else heard them except the two of them, even though the man next to him was snoring.

The so-called good and evil are rewarded, the strong man seems to have nothing to pity, Lin Zi thought he deserved it.

The strong man first screamed, then Lin Zi vaguely heard his begging for mercy, and then cursed...

However, his voice became smaller and smaller, and after about half an hour, it completely disappeared.

The cell temperature also began to rise a little bit.

He Huai said, "I can't feel the soul, hey, the three souls and seven souls are all gone."

Lin Zi wondered what the jailer would think when he saw the miserable condition of the strong man tomorrow.
