I'm watching the gate in the jail

As a scholar, as a self-proclaimed student of a sage, Qiu Zijin couldn't accept it anyway. He, a young man who is not yet 20 years old, actually wants to sit on the "Jianyu".

Let’s not talk about the previous dynasty, since Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty established the tripod, it was stipulated that regardless of military officials, imperial relatives, marquises, and eunuchs guarding, except for the sick and elderly, all can only ride on horses and not in sedan chairs.

However, raising "horses" is too costly in terms of copper coins and food, and with the salaries of officials of the Ming Dynasty, few people can afford it.

Therefore, there are not a few local officials like Wanda who ride donkeys on duty.

Because it was too embarrassing for the officials, Zhu Yuanzhang once reprimanded them for being unseemly.

Of course, although this regulation became empty talk in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Shoufu's 32-carrying sedan chair was comparable to a luxury mobile car.Beds, bookshelves, stoves, and toilets are all available.

But at least in the Xianzong Dynasty, except for the elderly and sick officials, most of the officials still strictly abide by this regulation.

"My lord inspector, do you know how long you have been delayed in Nanjing? If we don't hurry back to She County, I suspect that Liu Tiechi might be impatient to escape."

In order to get on the road as soon as possible, Wanda and the others hired two bearers, pushed Qiu Zijin, who walked lightly and was so thin that he could almost fly into the sky, and hurried to She County.

"Besides, you are sick now, you should take a sedan chair. What are you afraid of!"

Wanda comforted him to recover from his illness and not to think so much.

The descendants of the former imperial hospital also said that the reason why the censor is so sick this time is because of starvation and cold. dispatch.

That's why the illness came and went like a mountain, and the illness disappeared like a thread, and it hasn't completely recovered yet.

"Xiaoqiu, this job is endless. There's no need to worry too much about it."

Wanda wholeheartedly thought that he was trapped by this case, so she wanted to enlighten him as an "experienced person".

"Look, I've realized it a long time ago. No matter how many cases I handle, my brother-in-law will always find me something to do. He doesn't want me to stay in the capital and bask in the sun with peace of mind. Do you think I'm worried? ? It’s useless for me to worry about it, it’s better not to.”

Wanda said nonchalantly.

Really, I have long since looked away. The life of a dandy in my dream, the moment I foolishly stepped into Beizhen Fusi, completely left me.

What remains is "Moving Ming Dynasty Model Worker of the Year Wanda".

Qiu Zijin looked at Wanda speechlessly, and thought to himself, no wonder he had never heard of Mr. Xiao Wan being ill. It turns out that he is an optimist who puts his effort into his heart...

"My lord, did you really eat up my box of candied fruit?"

Knowing that he would not be able to get off the sedan chair, Qiu Zijin gave up struggling, turned his head, and asked Wanda again, a question he had asked countless times along the way.

"It's true. I have to make medicine and porridge for you every day, so why don't I eat some of your fruits? Why are you so stingy, my lord?"

Wanda said while walking.

He raised his head and pointed to Gao Hui who was leading the way ahead.

"Gao Hui, you come to prove it. Isn't it? Every time I feed him medicine and porridge, I will take away a handful of candied fruit. If I can't finish it myself, I will share it with you, right?"

Wanda said loudly.

"And the snacks I made for you were all eaten by Gao Hui. Why are you staring at me? Who kept you awake. You don't even know that I have been doing all kinds of good things in different ways every day for the past few days. Food. In the end, it was all cheaper than that kid Gao Hui."

Gao Hui paused, jumped over a mud pit, his generous back shook, and then nodded his head awkwardly twice, "Yes, I ate all the snacks."

This is not a lie, although Mr. Yang ate with him for two days at first.But later, he really couldn't bear the sweet and stinking snacks, so Gao Hui had no choice but to turn into a food processor, and dried up these sweet, sweet and soft pastries.

As for preserves...

Adults say yes, so be it.

Qiu Zijin held a box of mung bean cakes and taro cakes newly made by Wanda before departure, and looked at him suspiciously.

Could it be that I was sick with vertigo and misread?

Or... is that just a dream?

Yang Xiuxian was at the end of the battle, listening to all the conversations in his ears, turned his head, and sighed slightly towards an unknown place in the distance.

Because it took two days to seek medical treatment for Qiu Zijinyan, they wrote down what they had learned from Eunuch Niu Yu and some incense fans, velvet flowers, and lacquerware that Wanda had collected for his empress in Nanjing these days. The box was packed and sent to Beijing together.

I don't know how the situation in the capital is going, and whether the information Eunuch Niu said has any effect.

Although I told Xinghai that day that everything in Beijing is fine.But Yang Xiuxian looked at the mansion newspaper, compared with the letter from Eunuch Qin Feige, and compared the two, he always felt that there was a faint feeling in the north that the mountains and rain were about to come and the wind filled the building...

"Your Majesty, there is news from Nanjing Jinyiwei that Mr. Xiaowan and his party have left Yingtian Mansion and returned to Shexian County."

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, Wynn handed over the booklet from Nanjing.

"Long enough delay."

Zhu Jianshen opened the booklet and read it at a glance.

"In addition, those novelties from the south of the Yangtze River sent by Mr. Xiaowan have all been sent to the empress of Zhaode Palace. The imperial concubine likes it very much, and praises Mr. Xiaowan for his heart."

Ever since Wang Zhi had an accident in Zhaode Palace last time, Minister Wan has been in a state of panic.

Although Wang Zhi is almost healed now, he will be able to go back to the inner school to study in a few days.But she was still worried and took him with her every day.

Zhu Jianshen was not in good health at first, because he suffered from fright as a child, and often woke up in the middle of the night with convulsions.At this time in the past, it was Master Wan who rubbed his back and coaxed him to sleep with gentle words.

During this period of time, after he often woke up, he couldn't find her.Standing up again, he followed the lights in the corner to look.

Then she saw Wan Zhen'er holding the eldest son of the emperor with one hand vigilantly, while nervously looking at Xiao Wang Zhi who was sleeping in the green cupboard.

On the table is still the Longquan sword given by Queen Mother Sun.

Servant Wan stared at the lights with wide eyes, as if he was a female animal guarding two cubs at night, making him seem to have returned to the dreadful days when he was living in the mansion of Prince Yi.

"The bowl of lotus root noodles was indeed sent by the Empress Dowager Qian. My aunt is also an old aunt who has always served the Empress Dowager. She has been with the Empress Dowager during the orthodox years. She has always been a loyal, cautious person..."

Imperial Physician Hu found out the clues and determined that Wang Zhi had been poisoned, and the poison was thrown into the bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root powder that Wang Zhi snatched to drink.

At that time, Concubine Wan Gui asked Wang Zhi why he was cold enough to grab food from the eldest son of the emperor, and Xiao Wang Zhi replied honestly: "Susu said that if there is no drug test, no matter what, nothing can enter the little prince's food." Mouth. Su Su is not here, I am the big brother, and I will protect the little prince on his behalf."

After finishing speaking, she went to pull Wan Zhen'er's sleeve, raised her head and said, "Ma'am, I didn't mean to steal the little prince's food. Ma'am, don't blame me."

Concubine Wan Gui burst into tears when she heard that, she hugged Wang Zhi's small body, wishing to rub him into her flesh, crying and shouting, "My son, it's rare that you have a heart. The little prince won someone like you, It really came from a previous life."

The maids standing by the side all shed tears, praising Wang Zhi for being loyal to protect the lord at such a young age.As expected, Lord Xiaowan sent him to the palace on purpose, he is a good boy who knows both cold and hot.

Because Wang Zhi was too young to be granted any official position, Zhu Jianshen rewarded him with a pony. After he recovered, he would not only go to the inner school to study, but also go to the Imperial Horse Supervisor in the imperial city to ride. Riding a horse, exercise your body.

Hearing that there are horses to ride, Wang Zhi can't wait to jump up from the hospital bed and go straight to the racecourse.

His cute and ridiculous appearance finally amused Wan Zhen'er, and even the little prince in her arms began to "babble".

"Is this the clay doll that Susu bought for me? It's a pony, as beautiful as mine."

Wang Zhi sat on the bed, holding the clay figurines and dolls from Jiangnan that Wanda had sent into the palace as if they were treasures, and leaned in front of the eldest son of the emperor whose eyes were staring like grapes, and said happily, "Yes, yes, Drive! Little prince, you should grow up quickly, and when I recover, we will ride a big horse together."

The little prince was only six months old, and he still didn't know how to speak. He clapped his little hands and purred, as if agreeing with what his little brother said.

According to Taiyi Hu's speculation, the poison in the lotus root powder is not an ordinary potion or powder, but a plant called "bergamot lotus".

This kind of plant usually grows indoors and in places with many aquatic plants. It likes shade and fears sun.Its drooping leaves secrete colorless, odorless water droplets that drip down along the veins and meridians.

If the skin is accidentally touched, it can make people feel hot, nauseous, and painful.If it is ingested in large amounts, or if it is taken directly, it will cause numbness all over the body, cardiac arrest and even sudden death.

After hearing the words of Imperial Physician Hu, Zhu Jianshen immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the Kunning Palace and the East and West Second Palaces. As a result, this plant was not found in any of the palaces or the attached gardens.

On the other hand, Empress Dowager Qian knew that the snacks she had sent had caused a catastrophe, and even the old maid who had been with her for more than 20 years was implicated and sent to the Department of Punishment for interrogation. The illness came like a mountain, and the illness became more and more serious.

Although Zhu Jianshen personally went to Renshou Palace to pay her respects and comfort the old man, but before the matter was investigated clearly, Empress Dowager Qian couldn't let go of her heart.

But Empress Dowager Zhou, after hearing that something happened in Zhaode Palace, changed her previous indifference, and wanted to send people out of the palace several times to "greeting her well".

Fortunately, Zhu Jianshen had the foresight early on and ordered all the palace people to restrain their feet and not to walk around in their respective palaces, otherwise the threshold of Zhaode Palace would have been broken through at this moment.

"Elder Niu's 'pair food' when he was young..."

Zhu Jianshen looked at the note submitted by Wanda, and looked at Wynn suspiciously, "Do you know about this?"

"Hey... Eunuch Niu is an old man from the time of Emperor Yong Le. When he entered the palace as an servant, the slave hadn't been born yet. I really don't know about these early years."

Wynn answered with some embarrassment.

"Duishi", also known as "caihu", is a deformed product that existed in the palaces of all dynasties.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace are bored, lonely and desolate. Although they yearn for family and love, they cannot live the lives of ordinary people.So I became a partner to comfort the loneliness.

Although at the time of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, such behavior was strictly prohibited in the palace.

But from the time of Emperor Yong Le, the emperors also began to show compassion for those around them.Knowing that most of the people in the world are men and women who eat and drink, these are poor people in deep palaces, they are just fake phoenixes and phoenixes, they cannot be real couples, so I no longer prohibit them.

Not only is it not prohibited, but some even take the initiative to find a lovable person for the favored court ladies and eunuchs around them.

It is not surprising that a great eunuch like Eunuch Niu, who used to have power in the government and the public, has one or two cooks.

Don't talk about him, let's talk about our father-in-law Qin Changtan... When he was still a young eunuch, he received the favor of sisters from all palaces.In the Chenghua Dynasty, he became the right assistant of the needlework bureau, and even the most popular handsome man in the inner palace.

According to this trend, perhaps before Wang Zhi grows up, his status as the number one handsome man in the house is unshakable.

"What happened to Eunuch Niu when he was young, speaking of it, only the old people who came to Yongle Dynasty know about it."

Wynn pondered for a while, "I'll go to Yumajian to ask Liu Yongcheng, Eunuch Liu, he also entered the palace when Emperor Yongle was, and he has served many His Majesties."

"Hmm... this old palace maid of Eunuch Niu may have something to do with Ah Zhi's poisoning this time. Go and investigate thoroughly, and you must find out who is behind this scene."

Now, except for the people in Zhaode Palace, no one knows exactly what happened that day.All I know is that a big event happened that day, Zhaode Palace invited an imperial physician, and there was an old aunt at Renshou Palace who ate and hung up.How exactly, everyone in the Forbidden City is guessing.

Neither the left nor the right can go out of the palace, so they just wait for the news and watch the show together.There are a lot of people who are really worried about the emperor's heir and Wan Guifei, but there are probably more people waiting to see the jokes.

Personal thoughts, personal knowledge, the palace walls of this palace are too high and thick, it locks up people's hearts and tires them, and locks good people into black-eyed chickens.

It is inevitable to treat the same kind as pigs and dogs, and regard funerals as fun.

Wynn received the decree, and as soon as he exited the Hall of Martial Arts, he saw Tan Chang standing at the gate of the hall talking to the little maid.

Because it was summer, the maids all put on light palace attire, walked on the white jade steps, and when the wind blew, they took up the palace sash and ribbons tied around their waists.From a distance, these beautiful women are like immortals, really good-looking.

It's a pity that in the eyes of the king they serve wholeheartedly, they can't see such a scene.Only the noble concubine in Zhaode Palace is nothing more.

"You shouldn't be so frivolous."

Wynn is a few years older than Qin Chang, and has always regarded himself as his elder brother.Sometimes when I see Tan Chang's behavior is too outrageous, I always have to remind him a few words.

"It's okay, don't you know me yet? I just saw two little maids from my hometown, chatted and laughed, and asked them if they were used to it."

Qin Chang knew that this calm elder brother was doing it for his own good, so he continued his words.

Wynn knew that he was talking about the new palace ladies sent by Commander Han Yongda from Guangxi last time.

It may be because they are from Guangxi like Tan Chang, and Tan Chang also went to Xunzhou City with Mr. Xiaowan last time, so it is inevitable that they have some topics, so they will not ask more questions.

"There is a girl surnamed Ji in there, who can actually read. I thought that if she was sent to Shangyi Bureau to be a female historian, it would not be considered buried."

Shang Yiju was one of the "six bureaus and one division" of female officials in the Ming Dynasty. It was responsible for the daily management of the court collection and classics.

Moreover, being a female official is better than being an ordinary court lady. When she gets older, she can be released to marry and have children, and live an ordinary life.

It seems that Tan Chang thinks highly of this little fellow.

Wynn nodded. For the appointment and training of newcomers, Tan Chang has personally done it for so many years. He is more in charge of the major affairs of the court and the intelligence work of the East Factory.

The two have a clear division of labor and never interfere with each other, unless it is His Majesty's will.

"By the way, did 'that person' follow them all the way to She County after giving the medicine to Mr. Qiu?"

Qin Chang asked suddenly.

"right……"

Wynn paused and continued, "Your Majesty means to let him secretly protect Master Wan. If there is danger...'do it cheaply'."

Ningqing Palace

"Xia Shi, why is there still no movement at Zhaode Palace? Is the eldest son of the emperor all right?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou picked up the chess piece made of white jade and put it down again, looking at the vicious sun outside the window restlessly.

As soon as the Forbidden City entered May, it became more and more oppressive day by day.

In July and August, even the wind can't blow into the square sky.That is to say, you can relax at the Yuqiao in Taiye Pool, and see the green leaves holding lotus flowers, which can relieve the heat.

After something happened in Zhaode Palace, no one could leave the palace gate, even if she was the emperor's own mother, which made the Queen Mother Zhou, who was always used to being casual, even more upset.

"Returning to the Empress Dowager, although Wynn took the guards and people from Dongchang to the palace to check the eunuchs and maids, it seems that nothing big happened in Zhaode Palace, otherwise it would have been..."

Xia Shi saw that his master had lost interest, so he threw a ball along the pole to admit defeat.

"That's right...otherwise the world would have been in chaos."

The Empress Dowager Zhou understood what the eunuch Xia Shi said, and shook her fan boredly.

Forget it, it’s not all fruitless anyway.

I heard that bitch Qian was so frightened that he fell ill.In addition, she lost her left and right hands, and the Renshou Palace is becoming more and more deserted now.

Thinking of this, Queen Mother Zhou smiled.

"Where's the big white cat with mandarin duck eyes from the Western Regions that you brought as a tribute to the Ai family last time? Take it to the Ai family to have a look..."

Over the years, a group of people moved to She County, and Qiu Zijin's illness gradually improved.

Although she looks thin, she is still in good spirits.

The skinny eye sockets were slightly sunken, and the baby's fat cheeks were also reduced a little, but the slender eyes seemed to be sharper, and the whole person had a sense of calm and prestige.

In Wanda's words, "Xiaoqiu is becoming more and more like an official".

"Don't tell me, the medicine in this palace is just different..."

Wanda and Yang Xiuxian walked at the end, and they whispered to each other, "I've been sleeping for days, but I haven't seen any improvement. After the 'man' came, he poured the medicine he brought. After only a few hours, Xiaoqiu woke up immediately."

Yang Xiuxian nodded.

He was actually more worried about what the descendant of the imperial physician said.

Qiu Zijin had something on his mind, and that "mind" had been kept in his heart for too long, and it happened when he encountered the wind and cold.

Combined with Qiu Zijin's unusual behavior since he left Beijing, he instinctively felt that there was something strange about it.

I just hope that Qiu Zijin's "worries" don't hinder them from going south to handle the case this time.

When everyone returned to She County, they didn't immediately go to the government office to pay homage to the magistrate and Luo county magistrate, but went directly to Dingjiazhuang.

Who knows, before approaching the entrance of the village, I saw a group of people gathering in the distance, making a lot of noise, it seemed that something serious had happened.

After taking two steps and taking a closer look, I found that there were not only people from the Ding family, but also people from the Guo family. The two groups were hostile to each other and shouting and scolding.

Some young lads even brought sticks and hoes, looking like they were going to fight.

"Liu Tie Chi, where are you going?"

Wanda was about to lead people forward to find out the situation, when a familiar figure at the entrance of the village suddenly appeared out of the corner of his eyes, trying to escape sneakily while taking advantage of the chaos.

Wearing a Taoist robe, carrying a bag, and a moustache wearing a pure yang scarf, who would it be if it wasn't Liu Tiechi? !

The Taoist priest promised to settle the case together when they came back. For this reason, Wanda deliberately put five taels of silver in his hand and didn't give it to him.

During this period of time, he stayed at Ding's house.In order to curry favor with Qiu Zijin and others, the Ding family also treated him as a guest of honor.

In addition, Huizhou people are superstitious to begin with, so they treat Taoist priests and monks with great respect. Wanda predicts that he should live happily ever after.

Who knew that when they came back, they saw this old boy going for a walk!

Wanda yelled angrily, grabbed him by the collar from behind, and pushed him to the side of Gao Hui.

"If you don't talk about faith, you will be beaten first!"

He pinched his waist and said.

If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you think I am the "Mandijin" raised by Yang Qianhu's family?

The little tortoiseshell female cat was so docile that anyone could touch it, and Wanda almost suspected that the top of her head would be bald.

"My lord, you are back."

To Wanda's surprise, when Liu Tiechi saw them, instead of trying to defend himself with guilt, he hugged Wanda's thigh, "I'm scared to death. If you don't come back, I'm in this village. Can't wait any longer!"

"What's wrong? Did you see a ghost?"

Wanda folded her arms around her chest, sneered and looked at him sideways, thinking that you, a Taoist priest, are afraid of ghosts.

"Yeah, I just saw a ghost!"

Liu Tiechi pounded his head like garlic.

"Not only me, many people have seen it, really."

Wanda looked at the noisy crowd over there in surprise, then looked down at Liu Tie Chi who was about to cry, and said amusedly, "What's going on? To hell with the group?"

"My lord, don't you know..."

Liu Tiechi stood up, touched his chest, and said with lingering fear, "Not long after you guys left, this village was haunted...it was a female ghost."

As for the haunting in the village, it happened on the third or fourth day after Wanda and the others left.

Because the Ding family and the Guo family have expressed that the location of the land temple belongs to them, and they will not give in.

In order to prevent the matter from expanding before they had the evidence, Qiu Zijin gave an order before leaving to ask the county government of She County to send two people to guard the place and not allow the villagers to come here to cause trouble.

On the one hand, it is to prevent the Guo family from going to touch the old lady Ding's archway again, so as not to cause trouble again.

On the other hand, in order to prevent the members of the Ding family, he might take advantage of this time to come over and do something.

For example, dig a hole outside the earth temple, put some ancient tokens of their family, and use them as evidence to interfere with their subsequent judgment on the case.

The county magistrate of She County sent two servants to wait in the temple in turn every morning and evening.

Anyway, there are ready-made mattresses and stoves for heating, and the earth temple can also shelter from wind and rain, so it is not too difficult.

So there were two small officials, one old and one young, one squatting during the day and the other watching at night.

This is not a good job, and there is no oil or water.Naturally, no competent people will be sent.

The old and the young are the last-class servants, and they are all roles that mud can't support the wall.

The old one likes to drink a little wine, and the young one is groggy all day long.

It was okay for the first two days, but on the third night.The old yamen servant was sitting by the stove, holding a small jug that he had almost drank, and vaguely saw a person standing at the gate of the temple.

It was a cloudy day with no stars, and the moon was also hidden behind the clouds, so only a shadow could be seen vaguely.

In the whole earth temple, there is only a little light source like a stove with hot water, which casts the shadows of the lonely statues on the walls.

The old yamen servant first thought that some disobedient villagers had come to make trouble, and immediately shouted while he was drunk, berating "him" to leave quickly, otherwise he would arrest people according to the order of the inspector.

Seeing that "man" still standing at the door and refusing to leave, the old man made a gesture to draw his knife—in fact, the old government servant's knife hadn't been out of its sheath for more than ten years, and it was probably rusted inside.

Seeing that the old yamen servant was going to be violent, the "man" was startled, turned around and ran away.

The old yamen servant chased and scolded to the door, still uttering dirty words.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked to the gate of the temple, a gust of wind happened to blow the clouds away.

The moon shone brightly, and the drunken old government servant finally saw it clearly.

He rubbed his eyes, and looked at the "person" who ran away in disbelief - where is it a person, it is clearly a thin ghost who is as thin as a stick!

This ghost didn't walk on the ground at all, but "floated" on the ground.

When he put down the hand rubbing his eyes, and tried to see clearly, he saw that "ghost" turned to the archway of Old Madam Ding, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and disappeared.

"What is it? Missing?"

Wanda and Qiu Zijin looked at each other.

"It's a lie. I think it's this old man who secretly drank when he was on duty. He didn't stay on duty at night and was teased by these two families."

Wanda thought to himself that this was nothing unusual, Jin Yiwei was on the night shift and even sneaked out to drink.

Several people were caught more than once by him and Yang Xiuxian. In order to avoid punishment, they would jump outside for any reason.

What's more, he had already guessed that the two families would take the opportunity to cause trouble, and he would never obediently wait for Qiu Zijin to come back and arrest him without a fight.

This trip to Nanjing, judging from the information obtained from Houhu, neither of these two is good.

One and a half catties, one eight taels.

One bastard, one mung bean.

Don't say whoever is doing something.

"It's true, the old man was so scared that he didn't dare to watch the night alone the next day. He took the little yamen servant and waited in the earth temple together. Waiting for that ghost to come..."

Liu Tiechi turned around in a hurry.

"Is that ghost here?"

Yang Xiuxian asked amusedly.

"I didn't come on the second day, until the third day... When I came, it was still a female ghost."

Liu Tiechi looked bitter, "These two people were scared to death. Suddenly remembered that I was staying in the village, so I rushed to Master Ding's house in the middle of the night, pulled me over, and asked me to open the altar... Catch ghosts."

"puff……"

Wanda couldn't help laughing.

I thought it was right, don't you have to hire a Taoist priest if you see a ghost?

"Ghost catching or something, Xiaodao is not as handy as fortune-telling. But it can be regarded as our own line of business, and we have some things with us."

That night, everyone in Mr. Ding's family was alarmed.I heard that the Earth Temple is haunted by ghosts, and several brave ones will follow to see it.

Although the two yamen servants were so scared that they were about to pee, they still remembered their duties and did not allow the Ding family to approach the Earth Temple with excuses, so they took Liu Tiechi and walked all the way to Old Madam Ding's archway.

This time, both of them could see clearly that the female ghost finally disappeared under the archway.This archway is the dwelling place of female ghosts.

They asked Liu Tiechi to do it right under the archway, and subdued the female ghost.

This made Liu Tiechi very embarrassed.

In the final analysis, it is still unknown whether there are female ghosts.

But this memorial archway for the chastity of martyrs was issued by the imperial court.

Apart from other things, the word "imperial system" is engraved on it in big words-this is the face of the imperial court.

What's more, this archway represents the chastity of Mrs. Ding, which is a reputation that a woman has earned through her life's hard work.

Now they say that there are ghosts living under the archway. If this is not an insult to the ancestors of the Ding family, what else can it be?

Liu Tiechi has been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he knows how to read other people's minds.

He knew that if he dared to touch the archway tonight, the Ding family would be able to dismantle his bones tomorrow and lay a new foundation for the old lady's archway.

Based on the psychology of self-preservation, Liu Tiechi resolutely rejected the request of the two.No matter how intimidating and intimidating they were, he remained indifferent.

After dawn the next day, Liu Tiechi ran out from the Temple of Earth and informed the magistrate of Shexian County about what happened at the Temple of Earth.

Such a small place cannot hide secrets at all.Inside and outside the county government office, there are children of big families and ear gods.

As soon as Liu Tiechi came out of the yamen, he saw people from the Ding family and the Guo family fighting at the yamen gate.

It turned out that when the Ding family heard about this, their first reaction was that the Guo family was playing tricks.

They did this on purpose. They tried to forcefully demolish Granny Ding's arch before, but this time they brought a "female ghost" out to scare people.

This Taoist priest is still a little discerning, so he didn't go to set up an altar under the chastity archway to dip.

Otherwise what is the next step?

Of course, I poked the archway to see if there is really a tomb of a female ghost underneath!Didn't they all dismantle in half before?

Those heartless people in the Guo family have some wishful thinking, can't the Ding family guess it?

As for the Guo family, they were even more angry.

Such "female ghosts" and "male ghosts", why didn't they come out more than ten years ago, and came out as soon as Mr. Xunguan left?

The land temple funded by their Guo family was originally intended to suppress evil spirits and pray for the people.

Since it was built 23 years ago, regardless of whether it is a severe drought or heavy rain outside, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the northern part of She County has always been smooth and safe.

The Ding family has been blessed by the Earth Temple, so forget about thanking them.Actually ran out pretending to be a ghost to scare people?

What the hell? !What the hell is going on?

This is clearly the Ding family's intentional disturbance, which means that this land temple can't even suppress a female ghost, so it might as well be demolished!

So the two families, regardless of the ban issued by Qiu Zijin and the county magistrate, ran to the Earth Temple that night.

The people of the Ding family said that they would catch the female ghost sent by the Guo family.

The people of the Guo family said that they wanted to catch the demon sent by the Ding family.

The county magistrate Luo had no choice but to send all the servants of the county government over, and locked the two young people who were about to cause trouble back together.

It turned out that the two foolish yamen servants didn't dare to use it anymore, and sent two strong young men to go.

This is based on Liu Tiechi's opinion. He said that the young man has a strong yang energy and is not afraid of evil spirits.

The magistrate of Luo County has been an official in She County for a long time, and he has also been infected by the local people's nagging, so he immediately sent two of the strongest men to replace the two useless guys to guard the temple. .

Then those two strong men fled back in a few days, and they kept saying that they had seen a ghost.I would rather not have this yamen errand than stay in the temple overnight.

Seeing that the people in the government were so unreliable, the anger of the two villagers was completely ignited.

If Qiu Zijin and the others had come one step later today, the two families would have clashed at the entrance of the village.

Wanda turned her head and looked at the thirty or forty young people who were still angry even though they were put on shackles.On the other side, the confused county magistrate with an aggrieved face let out a long sigh.

How do you say that sentence - feudal superstition kills people.

"My lord, how is it?"

Wanda bumped Qiu Zijin's thin shoulder.

"Let's not sleep tonight either. Everyone go hunt ghosts."
