Jiuer Rivers and Lakes

"Brother, can you see that person?"

Zisheng shook his head helplessly.

Ziyu scratched his head, "Impossible, it's spread all over the door, the master has a fancy for a person at the foot of the mountain, because that person doesn't know martial arts, he asked Shuguimen to help make a dagger and give it to him, why isn't it true? "

Zisheng sighed, "Where did the younger brother hear the gossip?"

Ziyu: "Brother, you don't know about this." He looked around and whispered in Zisheng's ear, "Everyone says that."

Zisheng: "..."

Ziyu: "Isn't it normal for Master to like someone? Why can't you say it?"

Zisheng: "Cough."

Ziyu: "Master has been pure and ascetic for so many years, if there is such a person... Brother, why are you pinching me? You..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was hit on the back of his knee by a gust of palm wind, and suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Years of experience aroused his desire to survive.The moment he knelt down, he realized who was hitting him.

Ziyu: "Master! I was wrong!"

Qin Huang glanced at him indifferently, "Get the punishment yourself."

Ziyu made a bitter face, "Master~"

Qin Huang: "Two days."

Ziyu had no choice but to shut up and stop talking, looking pitifully at his senior brother beside him.

Zisheng: "Master, Ziyu..."

Qin Huang: "The beggars will be punished the same."

Zisheng: "..."

☆、Hungry Ghost Festival

Tick ​​tick, the girl is going out to buy groceries,

Tick ​​tick tick, when the boy returned from his studies.

Laugh, laugh, the girl meets the boy,

Crying and crying, the girl hangs her head in the middle of the night.

Ling Hua: "Da... Damu... Listen..."

The master sentenced Shaolang to beheaded,

A fire killed everyone.

Children come to play at the bridge,

I saw the girl walking on the bridge.

The left hand holds the red hijab,

The right hand holds Shaolang's head.

......

Da Mu: "Aren't you used to being the shopkeeper?"

Jiu Er: "Brother Hua, are you afraid?"

Ling Hua: "..."

The Ghost Festival is a ghost festival in the traditional sense, but the villagers in Shiliu Town don’t have the habit of staying behind closed doors. Everyone wears all kinds of masks and clothes made of rags, and some of the clothes even have With red dye, shuttle in the street.

It was a naughty child who sang poems many years ago in front of Yuanlai Inn.

And who was holding the chopsticks trembling uncontrollably.

Ling Hua: "Ah!!!"

Oki: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Ling Hua: "Look, there is a figure floating past the door!"

Da Mu tried his best to hold back a smile and said, "Got it."

He opened the door of the inn and left a reward for the well-dressed woman in white, who then stood on a wooden board with wheels and was pushed to "float" to another place.

Ninety Two: "..."

Ling Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and went on to pick up vegetables for dinner tremblingly.

Jiu Er: "Brother Hua, why don't we go out to play too?"

Damu looked at Ling Hua with bright eyes.

Ling Hua's face darkened, "No."

Every year during the Ghost Festival, Ling Hua didn't go out by herself, and ordered others not to go out. She went to bed early at night, and she had to squeeze with him.Just ask such a timid shopkeeper, do other people still have it?

Ninety Two: "..."

Oki: "..."

Jiuer rolled his eyes, "Then I went with Brother Damu, Brother Hua, you should be careful in the inn by yourself, lest..."

Ling Hua: "Article [-] of the shop rules stipulates that you are not allowed to go out without authorization during the Ghost Festival."

Jiu Er: "...do you have this one?"

Ling Hua confidently said, "Now there is."

Oki: "..."

"Boss, have you seen the Ghost Festival in our town since [-]?"

Ling Hua looked at Jiu Er in embarrassment, "Actually, it's not much fun, how about we..."

Jiu Er interrupted him, pretending to be sad, as if begging for justice, "Why don't you go, I'll listen to Brother Hua."

Seeing him like this, Ling Hua couldn't bear it. For the sake of a harmonious life in the future, such a small request from the little lover still needs to be met.

Then he mustered up his courage, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Damu quietly looked at Jiu Er, his eyes full of approval.

The three of them prepared the same "prison uniform", and they could barely tell who was who from their body shapes.

The stronger one is Damu, the taller one is Linghua, and the lower one is Jiuer.

Jiu Er looked excitedly at the various costumes on the street.

Ling Hua looked at him dotingly, and said with a smile, "You."

Jiu Er felt that the Lantern Festival a few days ago was not as lively as it is today.

A few children in the street gathered in a circle, reciting that strange poem Yao.

Hearing this, Ling Hua's scalp tingled.

Jiu Er, who was walking alone in front, suddenly turned his head, "Hua~Brother~"

Ling Hua was terrified by the female ghost mask that appeared on Jiu Er's face at some unknown time, and suddenly supported Da Mu next to him.Just wanted to say a few words with Da Mu, but was scared to death by the judge mask on Da Mu's face.

Jiu Er: "Ahahahahahaha."

Boring, don't bring such a playful person.

I just want to break up.

Ling Hua rubbed her forehead, "Forget it. You guys go ahead and play, I'll walk around by myself."

Without waiting for their response, he turned around and walked back.

Jiu Er just thought, is it too much, but he was attracted by the mask booth next to him.

Later, Jiu Er was really worried about Ling Hua, so he followed Ling Hua in the same direction.

Arriving at a river, a child stared blankly at the bridge next to him.

Jiu Er walked up to the child, guessing that he might have gotten separated from his parents.

"Child, you..."

Before he finished speaking, the child turned his head, his face was covered with red paint, even if he was not afraid of ghosts in Jiu Er, he was also taken aback.

Jiu Er squatted down, "Are you looking for your parents?"

After listening to his words, the child looked at the bridge leisurely, Jiu Er followed him and found a person standing on the bridge with his head down, and he didn't know what he was holding in his hand.

Jiu Er: "Are those your parents?"

The kid nodded.

Jiu Er felt strange, it was so close, why did the child stand here without moving, could it be their family's Lantern Festival trick?

He stood up and held the child's hand, "I'll take you to find him."

The child's hand was extremely cold, Jiu Er unconsciously rubbed his hand while holding it.

When he got to the bridge, Jiu Er found Ling Hua lying aside.He hurriedly supported Ling Hua, patted his cheek lightly to call him.

"Brother Hua? Brother Hua? Wake up! What's wrong with you?"

Ling Hua woke up, her eyes slowly focused, and she pointed at the bridge, "There is... a ghost!!!"

The dark red liquid slowly flowed down the highest point of the bridge. What the man on the bridge was holding in his hand was nothing but a human head.

The child's face was not paint either.But real blood.

Lingxu Gate.

Zisheng: "Master, Brother Jiuer seems to be in trouble."

Qin Huang: "What are you doing to me?"

Zisheng: "..."

The younger brother is right, the master is really... arrogant sometimes.

Jiu Er and Ling Hua have been kneeling in the courtroom for a quarter of an hour.

Magistrate: "What's your relationship with this kid? Hurry up and recruit!"

Ling Hua: "My lord, the villain is wronged! We don't know him!"

Jiu Er silently glanced at the child's hand tightly clutching his sleeve.

"..."

This set of conversations has been carried out dozens of times in the past quarter of an hour.

And the kid never spoke.

The master softly whispered in the county master's ear, "Master, it seems that they must be the murderers. If they are arrested, the case will be solved."

The master nodded, "Come on, put them in prison!"

Ling Hua: "!"

Ninety Two: "..."

Da Mu and Zhu Yun were anxious but helpless.

"slow!"

The people in the courtroom all looked towards the source of the sound.

A man in lavender came slowly, staring at the back of the only person who was not looking at him.

Jiu Er shrank his neck, this voice...

☆, dead again

Qin Huang frowned, not understanding why Jiuer always acted so cowardly every time he saw him, but why he was so spineless when molesting his shopkeeper.

The county master: "Who is here?"

Qin Huang flashed the token in his hand, and the county lord immediately bowed to Qin Huang, "So it's the imperial envoy."

Ninety Two: "!"

Qin Huang nodded, "The imperial envoy passed through this place during his travels, and heard that a homicide occurred here, so I came here to check."

The county master nodded and bowed, "Yes, but the lower officials have already caught the prisoner."

"Oh?" Qin Huang pointed to Jiu Er and Ling Hua who were kneeling in the hall, "But them?"

The county master: "Exactly."

Qin Huang: "This imperial envoy doesn't think so."

The county master: "Then what do you mean?"

Qin Huang pulled the corner of his mouth, "Retrial."

The county master nodded his head "yes yes yes", wiped the cold sweat off his brow, thinking to himself, indeed the imperial envoys are different.

Ninety Two: "..."

Later, Qin Huang refused the residence arranged by the county magistrate for the purpose of investigating the case and monitoring the suspects, and stayed in the Yuanlai Inn.

Damu had a good impression of this "Master Imperial Envoy", and made a large table of meals for him that night.

But the imperial envoy seemed not satisfied.

Qin Huang rested his chin on one hand and knocked on the table intentionally or unintentionally with the other, but his eyes were fixed on Jiu Er.

Jiu Er understood what he meant at this time, "What do you like to eat, uncle? I'll make it for you."

Qin Huang raised his eyebrows: "I'm not picky about food."

Jiu Er laughed and said, "You say."

Qin Huang: "Well...you did it on the mountain."

Jiu Er raised his head and looked at Qin Huang in doubt.

What a strange request.

When he was still in Tianhuang Mountain, in order to realize the grand blueprint of climbing into the bed of the master uncle, he did work as a cook at Lingxu Sect for a few days.

Qin Huang got up and planned to go back to the room, "By the way, send it to my room when it's done."

Ninety Two: "Yes."

So cute.Qin Huang bent the corner of his mouth towards him.

Zhu Yun slammed the table down, shaking the plate three times, "It's so handsome!"

Da Mu winked at her desperately, stop talking, don't you see how dark the shopkeeper's face is?

Of course, Zhu Yun wasn't the only one who didn't wink.

Jiu Er watched his uncle go upstairs, and then walked towards the kitchen.

Ling Hua took his hand, "What are you doing?"

Jiu Er: "Let's cook."

Ling Hua suppressed her anger as much as possible, "Why do you listen to him so much?"

Ninety Two: "..."

Hearing the shopkeeper's question, Jiu Er was also stunned, but listening to Qin Huang's words seemed to have become an instinct.

Suffocating instinct.

Ling Hua: "Don't forget that you are no longer from Tianhuang Mountain!"

Yes, then why did he listen to Qin Huang so much?Qin Huang didn't seem to want to pursue that matter at the beginning, but why didn't he pursue it?

This question didn't come to an answer until he knocked on Qin Huang's door in [-].

"Come in."

Jiu Er put the food on the table and planned to go out, but was stopped by Qin Huang.

"Sit down and eat together."

Jiu Er lowered his head, "I've already eaten."

Qin Huang casually picked up the food twice, "Then watch me eat."

Jiu Er: "...Yes."

Looking at Qin Huang quietly at this moment, Jiu Er truly realized that what those people said was true.

Uncle Shi is really a beauty.Everywhere looks good.

By the way, that night, when he and his uncle Chunxiao, he seemed to be made very comfortable.

Jiu Er shook his head in frustration, not knowing what he was thinking.

Qin Huang hooked the corner of his mouth, gently put his hand on Jiu Er's cheek, and then... pinched it.

"I want to take a shower."

Jiu Er broke free lightly, "Got it."

Jiu Er thought that what the uncle said about taking a bath was that he wanted to take a bath himself, but why did he take off his own clothes?

However, Uncle Shi has a really good figure.

"saliva."

Jiu Er hastily touched the corner of his mouth.

Jiu Er: "..." Not at all.

Qin Huang frowned, put the clothes on Jiu Er again, "Too thin."

Ninety Two: "..."

So when Da Mu opened the door and came in, he happened to see Qin Huang dressing Jiu Er.

"What are you doing!"

Damu was angry, Jiu Er looked so honest, how could he do such a thing behind the shopkeeper's back.

Qin Huang took a piece of clothing and put it on slowly, raised the corner of his mouth and asked him, "What do you think?"

Oki was shocked by his awe-inspiring justice.

Ninety Two: "..."

"Brother Big Wood, what's wrong?"

Da Mu slapped his head, and finally remembered why he came in.

"It's not good, someone died again!"

☆, Po

"Junior brother, where did the master's imperial envoy badge come from?"

"I stole... uh... borrowed it."

"..."

The man lay lifeless on the ground.

Jiu Er quietly glanced at his uncle's face, and asked weakly, "This... is this the county magistrate?"

It's not that they didn't recognize the county after only one day, but that the deceased was wearing an official uniform, and his face had been destroyed beyond recognition.

"No."

Qin Huang pointed at the deceased, "The county magistrate is not that tall."

The magistrate, who came belatedly, just heard this sentence.

"..."

The master let out an exclamation, and only then did the magistrate's eyes fall on the corpse... the clothes...

"Master, isn't that the clothes you lost the day before yesterday?"

Zhixian nodded.

Qin Huang: "What's going on?"

Magistrate: "Xiaguan woke up the morning before yesterday and found that it was lost. I couldn't find it anywhere."

Qin Huang: "Oh?"

The magistrate hurriedly knelt down, "I know my mistake!"

Qin Huang: "No."

Zhixian tremblingly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Jiu Er twitched the corners of his mouth. If he read correctly, his uncle clearly smiled at him.

Suddenly, Qin Huang's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present as if thinking of something, "Where's the child?"

Oki: "Still in the inn."

The county magistrate let out an "Ah" as if he had suddenly realized, left his job behind, and beckoned the master to take people to the inn in a mighty way.

The inn seems to have only one shopkeeper.

Jiu Er quickened his pace.

"What did you say!"

Ling Hua shook the child's shoulders, "Say it again!"

The child glanced at him lightly and remained silent.

Because this strange adult has made him say that sentence many times.

So when they came in Jiuer, they saw the shopkeeper kneeling on one knee in front of the child, half leaning on the child.

The child's face turned red.

pressed.

Jiu Er walked over and squatted down, and said softly, "Brother Hua?"

Ling Hua looked at him blankly.

Jiu Er could feel his body trembling, patting his back lightly like coaxing.

Qin Huang's face was a little ugly.

The county magistrate hecked twice, "My lord, what's wrong with this kid?"

Qin Huang: "Huh?"

Magistrate: "You just asked where the child is."

Qin Huang stared at Jiu Er without moving his eyes, "Oh, I'm just curious."

Magistrate: "..."

Zhixian came out of Yuanlai Inn with a sigh.In the past few days, he felt as if he was ten years older.

There are still two corpses and a head in the county office.

The first woman's body was found standing on the bridge, so how did she stand on the bridge?

The second corpse was beyond recognition, but was wearing his official uniform. Could it be that the deceased was the thief who stole his official uniform?

And the body of that head has not been found yet.

"Ugh."

The master stood aside respectfully, comforting the county magistrate, "Don't worry too much."

How could he not be worried.This kind of thing happened in the place under his jurisdiction, and now people are panicking, and the imperial envoy is also here, if he doesn't pay attention, he will be taken into account and it will be over.

The weather was a bit stuffy, and his mood became more and more irritable. When he looked up, lo and behold, there were burning clouds, no wonder he felt...

Wait, Huoshaoyun?

"Oops! Master! Go and see what happened!"

At the corner of the street was the mansion of the big merchant Lin in Shiliu Town. It was burning ragingly at the moment, but there was no other sound in the whole mansion except the sound of the fire, that is to say, there was no shouting or struggling at all.

The fire was very big, and although everyone tried their best to put out the fire, it was only a drop in the bucket.

Maybe it was a good day, and it happened that a heavy rain extinguished the raging fire.

It's just that the scene is filled with a stench of burnt human flesh, which is disgusting.

And the strangest thing is that every corpse is lying in the room.

Whose family's child is reciting that poem Yao again on the street next to him.

"Tick tick, the girl is going out to buy vegetables,

Tick ​​tick tick, when the boy returned from his studies.

Laugh, laugh, the girl meets the boy,

Crying and crying, the girl hangs her head in the middle of the night.

The master sentenced Shaolang to beheaded,

A fire killed everyone.

Children come to play at the bridge,

I saw the girl walking on the bridge.

The left hand holds the red hijab,

The right hand holds Shaolang's head. "

Qin Huang knocked on the table unintentionally.

Wu Zuo said none of those people showed signs of being poisoned.Are they mass suicide?It would be absurd to say this.

The child walked past the door of his room, Qin Huang suddenly smiled and walked out.

"Let go of me! Let go of me!"

The child was dragged by Qin Huang's arms, and his body was suspended in the air on the second floor.

Others looked up from the ground floor.

Ling Hua: "What is he doing?"

Jiu Er: "So that kid can talk!"

The corner of Ling Hua's mouth twitched, "Is this the point?"

Jiu Er scratched his head, "Then what's the point?"

Ling Hua: "..." I'm really tired. "Ask your uncle to put him down."

Jiu Er seemed to hesitate for a while: "Uncle Shi should have his own ideas."

Ha ha.

Ling Hua flicked her sleeves and turned to leave.

Jiuer was left alone in place.

Qin Huang tapped the child twice, "Who are you?"

The child stared at him, not intending to answer at all.

Qin Huang let go again.

The child cried out in horror:

"A Bao!"

"What is your relationship with the dead?"

"They are my parents!"

"them?"

Qin Huang felt that the child who was struggling in his hands gradually calmed down.

"let me go……"

Qin Huang raised his eyebrows and pulled him up.

Ah Bao clutched his clothes, lowered his head and whispered, "I didn't lie..."

The woman and the head on the bridge were indeed his parents.

He still remembered that when his father went out, the woman told him tenderly, Ah Bao, go out and play by herself.

But when he came home again, he saw the woman lying in a pool of blood. He rushed over and licked the woman, and the woman's blood stained him all over.

He went out to find someone to help, and everyone laughed, saying that your joke about the Ghost Festival has been seen through.

Later he saw his parents just across the bridge.

Ah Bao cried out slowly with a trembling voice, and was hugged by Jiuer who caught up, "Ah Bao, be good."

How can a child of such an age bear the death of his own parents, the uncle kept asking.Jiu Er looked at Qin Huang reproachfully.

Qin Huang: "..."

Jiu Er patted A Bao on the back, "Are you hungry? Brother, I'll make you something delicious. You can say whatever this uncle asks you, do you understand?"

Bao nodded.

But after Jiu Er left, he looked at Qin Huang with clear eyes, and he didn't look a little sad.

☆About Po

"Sister Yunzhu, tell me... is there really a ghost?"

Yunzhu slapped Da Mu's head with a slap, "I love you, love you to death."

Damu rubbed his head resentfully, "But this is really weird..."

Yunzhu rolled her eyes, "The imperial envoy has his own plan, so it's your turn to worry about it?"

Damu took the opportunity to lean on Yunzhu's shoulder, "But I'm afraid."

"..."

"Sister Yunzhu~"

"roll!"

"I saw that man."

"Who?"

Abao looked at Qin Huang indifferently, "That murderer."

"Who is he?"

"I don't know. It was very dark. He covered his face and hid behind a tree across the bridge."

Qin Huang frowned, "The night when the body was found in [-]?"

Po nodded.

"He was watching us that night."

"Do you know the house that's on fire?"

"Well, it's my mother's natal family."

Qin Huang tilted his head and looked at the precocious child, "You don't seem to like them very much."

The boy seemed a little sullen with his head down.

"They kicked mother out."

Qin Huang suddenly frowned, "You can speak slowly, I like listening to stories the most."

Ten years ago, there were two big merchants in Pomegranate Town.One is the Lin family, which makes a living from silk, and the other is the Luo family, which makes a living from wine and food.

The two families are rightly matched, and they made marriage promises for their children early on. As long as the youngest daughter of the Lin family grows up, she will directly marry the son of the Luo family.

I heard that the Luo family has been passed down from generation to generation, and Mr. Luo is even a young child prodigy. There are many people who compliment the Luo family. Master Lin is very satisfied with this marriage.

But just when the Luo family was about to fulfill their promise, the townspeople suddenly complained that the drinks were not clean and they were vomiting and diarrhea. In just half a year, the Luo family was not as good as before, and Master Luo, who was already suffering from old illnesses, also died in a hurry. The Luo family can only be handed over to the young master for a while.Although this young master is knowledgeable, he does not interfere with the affairs of the mall.The precarious Luo family really fell into ruin.Originally, he had hoped that the Lin family would come to rescue him, but he never thought that the Lin family would return the engagement token at this time.

Unexpectedly, the young lady of the Lin family had long been in love with the young master of the Luo family. Regardless of her parents' objections, she insisted on sharing weal and woe with the young master of the Luo family. In a fit of anger, Master Lin severed ties with his daughter and said angrily, if you step out of this door, you will never come back.

As a result, Ms. Lin and Mr. Luo could only live in poverty.

It may be that the setbacks in the family were too great, Mr. Luo went to Beijing to rush for the exam several times but failed.So far, he has completely given up his official career.

He only lived in the fields with his beloved in peace of mind, and soon gave birth to a child named "A Bao".

Ah Bao lowered his head, "That's what those people said."

Which people?

Those children who were the same age as Po laughed at his mother as no one wanted him and his father as a worthless child.

Ah Bao knew that those neighbors would always criticize them overtly and secretly.

But it may be that he inherited his father's intelligence, or it may be caused by others' exclusion, but he has a more mature mind than children of the same age.

When Jiu Er came in with the meal, he found two people, one big and one small, staring at each other.

For some reason, he always felt that A Bao was very similar to his uncle.

A Bao is like a miniature version of Qin Huang.

He feels sorry for A Bao who has no father and no mother because he is so peeing. He understands the feeling of being alone and helpless better than anyone else, so he loves A Bao even more in his heart.

He patted Po's head.

Abao looked at him in confusion.

"Good boy, let's eat first."

"..."

Qin Huang stretched out a hand, "Where's mine?"

"Uncle Master just finished eating."

"Well, it consumes a lot of brainpower and I'm hungry."

Jiu Er silently rolled his eyes in his heart, he really didn't think his uncle was using his brain.

Jiu Er went down to cook for Qin Huang again, lamenting in his heart that he was really a hard worker.

A Bao rolled his eyes, watching Qin Huang staring at the door of the room and smiling.

"Does your lord like [-]?"

Qin Huang raised his eyebrows, as if surprised by the child's observation ability.

A Bao: "But, Jiu Er is a man."

Qin Huang sipped his tea and said, "So what?"

Although Ah Bao was strange, seeing Qin Huang's upright appearance, he wondered if he still didn't understand the world of adults.

"Besides, isn't Jiu Er with the shopkeeper?"

Qin Huang's face darkened, "How do you know?"

A Bao is a child after all, Qin Huang's gloomy tone still startled him, "I saw it."

You don't need to say too clearly what you see, it's nothing more than they hold hands, kiss little mouths and so on.But this is what Qin Huang hates the most.

"Ah."

The county magistrate anxiously paced the courtroom.

Yun Zhu hurried in, "My lord, we saw a suspicious person near the ruins of the Lin family."

"Quick, bring it up."

The man should be an old man over half a century old, and he looks a little delirious.

Qin Huang sat aside, drinking tea in silence.

"Say! Who are you!"

The old man smirked and sat cross-legged in the courtroom.

The county magistrate frowned, "Don't pretend to be crazy, tell me the truth!"

The old man still smirked, and even took off his shoes, revealing an extremely unpleasant smell, and everyone covered their noses one after another.

"It's a ghost~"

Zhixian's body shook a few times, and he coughed lightly, "Nonsense! How can there be ghosts and gods in the world!"

Seeing whether the old man believed him or not, he stood up, turned his body sideways, covered his mouth with one hand, and said, "Really, that man must have come back to take revenge."

Qin Huang, who has been silent all this time, just said something, "Who?"

So the old man walked up to Qin Huang's side, looked left and right, leaned into his ear and said, "Master Luo."

Qin Huang suddenly grabbed the old man's neck with one hand.

The old man started to pretend to be crazy again.

"Tick tick, the girl is going out to buy vegetables,

Tick ​​tick tick, when the boy returned from his studies.

Laugh, laugh, the girl meets the boy,

Crying and crying, the girl hangs her head in the middle of the night.

cough……"

Qin Huang tightened his hands, "Say."

The old man was slowly out of breath, and looked at Qin Huang in horror.

For a moment, his trembling body was thrown to the ground by Qin Huang, panting heavily, "Ahem..."

Before he could catch his breath, he started laughing again.

"Retribution! Retribution! Master Luo is here to kill you! Those people don't want to run away! Hahaha..."

The magistrate sighed and ordered someone to take the crazy old man down.

Qin Huang looked at the back of the crazy old man and wondered what he was thinking.

☆, he is not dead

At night, in the prison.

The old man lay on his side on the plank bed and fell asleep.

The snoring sounded loudly.

The yamen servant kicked the iron rail angrily, but the old man still didn't wake up.He just turned around slowly.

The yamen servant cursed in a low voice: "Damn old man, it's a punishment for others to go to jail, how are you, you're here to enjoy the blessings!"

The old man has been imprisoned for three days, and he has been crazy all day long, but it is undeniable that these three days are indeed much better than him outside the prison. At least there is a shelter, and there are three meals a day. supply.The food in the prison couldn't be better, but the old man always eats it with great relish.

The yamen servant secretly slandered, suddenly felt a gust of evil wind behind him.

"Who!"

The old man was in a daze, and suddenly found that he was no longer in the prison, and he was so frightened that he suddenly became clearer.

Looking up, there are a few tombstones scattered around.A small hill rises high behind the tombstone.

The old man swallowed, not understanding why he appeared here.This is the place where Shiliu Town buried the bones of the dead criminals.There are also a few homeless people in the town. After they died, no one claimed them, so the kind villagers buried them here together.

But obviously, this is not what he should worry about now.

Because at this time, he saw a figure appearing leisurely behind a tombstone.

The old man told himself, where in the world are there any ghosts and gods, don't scare people to scare yourself.

He shouted loudly, "Who pretends to be a ghost!"

The figure burst out laughing suddenly, and the birds in the woods were frightened.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck the man's face clearly.

It was the young master Luo that the old man kept talking about!

The old man screamed and ran away, but just after turning around a few steps, the figure ran in front of him again.

The old man fell down in fright, got up again and knelt and kowtowed.

"Master Luo! Master Luo! I didn't harm you! Old man, I am also a hard-working person! If you want to seek revenge and find someone else, I don't know anything!"

The figure suddenly squatted down, looked at the old man and smiled, the old man was so frightened that he passed out.

The old man is a former servant of the Lin family.

It's just that the story told by him is far from the story told by Po.

According to what he said, at that time the Lin family saw the decline of the Luo family and really decided to break the engagement.But Miss Lin is not really happy with Mr. Luo.

Before that, Ms. Lin fell in love with another servant in the mansion and had an affair.

When Master Lin found out, he was furious and beat the servant half to death, then ordered him to throw him into the wilderness, and threatened that if he stepped into Shiliu Town again, the Lin family would beat him every time he saw him.

Miss Lin washed her face with tears all day long, and soon she was found to be pregnant, which really made Master Lin very angry.

The Luo family was defeated, how could a mercenary like Master Lin help.

It's just that it's unclear why Miss Lin was willing to go with Mr. Luo later on. The old man said that maybe Miss Lin was eager to find someone to take advantage of.

Master Lin was afraid that news of his family's misfortune would spread, so he gave money to those servants who knew about it, let them go as far as they could, and kept the matter secret.

But as soon as those servants walked out of Pomegranate Town, they were ambushed, and Master Lin sent men in black to put them to death.

The old man escaped from death and fled to a small town next door.

Until one day he actually saw Miss Lin, but the person holding her arm was not Mr. Luo, but the servant of the Lin family who had been kicked out.

He followed up quietly, and saw them returning to a small wooden house. There was a beautiful child in the house. The man picked up the child. Except for the child's indifferent expression, they looked like a family of three no matter what.

The old man secretly observed for a few days, intending to tell Mr. Lin that they were together to claim credit, but that day, he followed Miss Lin to a cemetery.

There is only one tombstone that is empty there, and it is engraved with "Luo Sheng's Tomb".

The old man shook the goose bumps on his body, Master Luo is dead?

The old man knelt down in the courtroom, "I...that's all I know."

After speaking, he glanced at Jiu Er by the way.Unexpectedly, such a handsome young man would actually play tricks and scare him half to death.

Qin Huang frowned, "Why do you say he came back for revenge?"

The old man said, "Ms. Lin knelt in front of the tombstone and kept repenting. Mr. Luo's death is absolutely inseparable from her. Moreover," the old man paused, "Many people said that the Luo family did it. After all, the biggest beneficiary back then was the Lin family, and almost all of the Luo family’s wealth went into the Lin family’s pockets, and no one can shake the Lin family’s status as a wealthy businessman in Pomegranate Town, or even a few towns around.”

Qin Huang nodded, as if he understood something.

So that day, he took Jiu Er to the tombstone of Mr. Luo that the old man said.

Jiu Er trembled and swallowed silently.

"Master, this is not good."

"Ok?"

"The dead are the biggest, so he will suffer retribution..." The more he said, the lower his voice, the uncle was also trying to help him, otherwise there was no need to pretend to be an imperial envoy, it seemed inappropriate for him to say that.

Just, "Why me?"

Qin Huang pinched his face, "Why don't I come?"

Jiu Er pursed his lips, saved his face from his hands, sighed and started working.

An hour later.

"Uncle Master!"

Qin Huang opened his closed eyes and looked at Jiu Er suspiciously.

"It's the Clothes Tomb."

no body?

"Uncle, what should we do next?"

Qin Huang looked sideways at Jiu Er and smiled slightly.

"Jiu Er, where have you been?"

"Brother Big Wood, the Imperial Envoy asked me to come over and say that there is a very important discovery."

"Huh? Is the case about to be solved?"

"Not yet, but soon, the government has caught a witness who seems to know a lot."

"Tch, who knows what happened, not everyone knows..." Damu wiped his neck.

The guests at the table closest to them burst into laughter, and one of them said, "Second Brother, is your news true?"

Jiu Er raised his neck, "Of course."

Another guest said, "I think the Lin family deserves what they deserve. None of us know that the Lin family got their money through improper means. It is probably the enemy who got it."

Jiu Er: "Yes, yes, brother, you are really smart. The government caught a man who was said to be the former housekeeper of the Lin family and knew a lot of private things."

"Oh?"

Jiu Er walked to that table and whispered, "Don't tell others. I heard that he even had a part in killing Master Luo back then."

The man hesitated, "This...doesn't it mean that Master Luo died of illness?"

"Hey, hey, who's to say that's right."

It's night, in the government prison.

An old man curled up and lay on the straw, muttering something.

If you listen carefully, you will find that he seems to be saying something like, "Why me again".

Suddenly, a black shadow enveloped his head, and the old man opened his eyes.

"You... who are you?"

The man in black raised the dagger in his hand and said, "So it was you."

The old man shivered and hid in the corner.

The man in black laughed out loud, "The Lin family still has you, a fish that slipped through the net."

After finishing speaking, the dagger in his hand quickly pierced the old man's heart.

But not wanting to fail, the old man nimbly dodged the dagger and stood up, where there was a shadow of an elderly man with handicapped legs and feet.

A clear voice came out from the mouth of the old man, "Master Uncle!"

Only then did the man in black realize he had been duped, and hurried out.

However, there is nowhere to run.

Qin Huang waved at the old man, and the old man walked over slowly, patting his chin with his hands all the way.After a while, a thin layer of diaper was peeled off from the face.The handsome face of Jiu Er appeared solemnly.

The man in black gave a bleak smile and tore off the black cloth covering his face.

It turned out to be the person who talked to Jiu Er at the inn that day.

The old man hid aside and said tremblingly, "I don't know him."

Jiu Er smiled, "I don't know him now," he quickly tore off the pimples from the man in black's face, "How about this?"

Qin Huang patted Jiu Er's head as if rewarding him.

The people of Maoshanmen are proficient in disguise.

Thanks to Jiu Er who saw through that person's disguise at a glance at the inn.

The old man kept backing away in horror, "It's Master Luo!"

The author has something to say: transition chapter.

☆, Luo Sheng and Lin Lin

The man in black is the young master of the Luo family.Luo Sheng.

Lin and Luo are friends.He was childhood sweetheart with Miss Lin Lin from the Lin family.

When he heard that his parents had made an engagement for him and Lin Lin, he was overjoyed.He has been looking forward to one day in the future when he can justly marry her into the family.

Lin Lin is well-educated, beautiful and gentle, and has an endless stream of suitors.

And Luo Sheng understood that like many of her suitors, he was treated tenderly by her, but never affectionately.

She is always so gentle.

He didn't want to, but the Luo family was in trouble, and his father's illness was too strange. He still remembered that before his death, his father held his hand and told him that he must beware of the people of the Lin family.

But he didn't care.

When Lin Lin gave up her wealthy life and followed him to live the life of a villager in the mountains, he thought she was finally moved by him.

They soon had their own child, and he named the child Luo Chengjing, hoping that he would be able to withstand the thorns and difficulties in his future life, so he called him Abao by nickname.

Lin Lin would comfort him gently when his official career was not going well, and he always thought that was the happiest moment.

However, suddenly there was a period of time when Lin Lin felt so out of sorts at home every day, and would gently push him away when he held her in his arms.

He was afraid that Lin Lin would get tired of this kind of life, work hard every day to cultivate, and then go to the town to sell the grain.The hand that has held the pen for many years has also become rough, but he feels that everything is worth it.

It was Lin Lin's birthday that day, so he finished farming early and went to the market to buy a hairpin, wanting to surprise Lin Lin.

But when he got home, he heard Lin Lin talking with a strange man.

He withdrew his hand that was going to knock on the door, and secretly hid outside the door to peek.

The man put his arms around Lin Lin, "I will definitely take you and Abao away. How can my son keep calling other men daddy?"

Lin Lin nodded.

"You, but you have to promise me not to hurt Luo Sheng, he is a good man."

The man let go of Lin Lin in his arms, "Are you in love with him?"

Lin Lin eagerly argued, "No, but he is really good to us."

The man sat down at the table and poured tea, "You know, this is the master's intention, he can't stay."

Lin Lin grabbed his skirt, "I beg you, I really...he is a good man, let's go, no
