Inscription of Different Cases

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of entering Beijing, and the two packed their luggage and locked the door.Now that he was about to bid farewell to the house where he had lived since he was a child, Han Lang had mixed feelings in his heart and felt a little bit disappointed.Neighbors in the neighborhood all came to see them off, and they were all reluctant to part, and asked him to let him go back to Anping to visit when he was free.Not far from the city gate, this group of people dispersed, but not far away, another group gathered, all of them looked like ruffians, and they turned out to be He Yijiu's brothers.

This time when He Yijiu accompanied Han Lang to the capital, he handed over the burden of Anping to others, and brought only a few confidants who were willing to follow him.He was afraid that this group of people would scare Han Lang's neighbors, so he specifically asked them to leave the city before sending them off.This time it was another farewell speech, the group of men suppressed their emotions in the face of He Yijiu, but they turned their heads away and quietly wiped away their tears.Han Lang looked a little funny, especially when they each gave a bunch of farewell gifts, everything from hometown specialties to homemade cakes. Combined with their looks, they really had a hint of tenderness.

In the end, they were still trained by He Yijiu, saying that it was only a day or two away from Anping to the capital, and it wasn't like they would never see each other again, so he coaxed these guys back.The two officially set out on the road. Han Lang saw Anping County getting smaller and smaller from the car window, and he didn't feel the excitement of going far away, but rather melancholy.

Perhaps his expression was too obvious, so He Yijiu directly reached out and pinched his face: "Master Han has been promoted, please be happy?"

Han Lang looked out of the window with a heavy heart, and sighed: "It's good to be promoted."

At noon they took a rest in the inn on the official road, there were people coming and going, there were all kinds of people, and they heard many rumors from all sides when they listened.Han Lang took a small sip of tea, wanting to hear what people around him were talking about.The table on the left is about the gossip of the government and the public, saying that the Taifu lord took in a beautiful and beautiful concubine, who was transformed by a goblin, and made the Taifu lord confused.The table on the right was talking about the discord between the two princes, and said that the Holy Majesty saw everything in his eyes, but they were all brothers, so no one moved.

Anping came from the table at the back, and they were talking about the disappearance of their county magistrate: "Don't you think it's strange, he has only been here for two months and then escaped from office, and there is no news at all."

"real or fake?"

"Really! The higher ups have applied for reassignment!"

"How could such a good person run away?"

"I don't know. Anyway, it just disappeared. Some people say that they hid back to their hometown."

Han Lang listened, and secretly glanced at He Yijiu, who immediately greeted him with a comfortable smile.Substituting tea for wine, he said to Han Lang, "Come on, cheers."

A group of people continued on the road, the carriage creaked and creaked, and they arrived at the capital at night.As expected of the capital of a country, even though the night was dark, there was still a wave of noise in several downtown areas that was even louder than during the day.The lanterns are everywhere, and the lanterns are like stars in the night, shining brightly.The scents of all kinds of late-night snacks wafted in the air, as well as the smell of alcohol and fat rice in the Goulan Jiaofang.Residents huddled together to listen to a new big show, with drums and gongs blaring, and crowds of people blocked the carriages behind.The people brought by He Yijiu poked their heads in the car, cursing a few words from time to time, but the people outside not only didn't move, but also cast a look of "Where did you come from?"

The people sent by King Zhao had been waiting for a long time, and hurried up to greet them and take them into their new residence.This is a small courtyard with a good location, with a tea house in front and people living in the back.This teahouse used to be the property of King Zhao, but now it is given to He Yijiu directly as a meeting gift, and it is regarded as a way for him to make a living in the capital.A few people brought by He Yijiu rushed in to check, and finally ran out excitedly, and said with a smile: "Master He! The inside is not worse than Zuixian Tower!"

He Yijiu kicked one of them: "What is Zuixianlou, a thing that doesn't wink?"

It was getting late, and they quickly settled down.Of course, the small courtyard was for He Yijiu and Han Lang to live in, and the restaurant was left to these confidantes to clean up.Fortunately, the teahouse was already open and fully staffed. As soon as these confidantes entered, they became stewards, not to mention how excited they were.

He Yijiu, bearing the title of "Big Boss", packed things together with Han Lang in the courtyard.It is said to be a small courtyard, but compared to the teahouse outside, the inside is actually a circle larger than Han Lang's residence in Anping.Although King Zhao is rich, not everyone deserves to be treated like this. Han Lang felt that he should have a good position in the other party's heart, and he was a fairly useful help.

The next day Han Lang went to Dali Temple early and met Yu Zuoshu who hadn't seen him for a long time.He was also promoted, and now he is Dali Temple Minister, so Han Lang, an apprentice of Dali Temple Minister, seems to be quite powerful.As soon as the two met, Yu Zuoshu mysteriously pulled Han Lang aside and asked, "Have you seen His Royal Highness King Zhao?"

Han Lang scratched his head: "I just arrived last night, and I haven't had time to go yet."

"Oh, that's it. I guess you won't be able to spare time to see you when you go to His Highness, and now something strange happened in the palace, and I'm in a state of distress. I'm going to investigate the case, so you follow me first, and I'll talk to you on the way."

After all, he pulled Han Lang and walked out, and when he got into the sedan chair, he said: "I heard that you are a celestial master?"

Han Lang nodded: "Exactly, the person sent by His Royal Highness Zhao told me a few words. This time, it has something to do with the ghost thing?"

Yu Zuoshu sighed heavily: "Oh, I don't know. The frontier was not peaceful at first, but now the emperor suddenly started to have nightmares, often dreaming that the Xirong army invaded, and the lives were devastated. There was another case of monsters harming people in the Taifu's mansion. It caused rumors to spread everywhere, and everyone couldn't live in peace."

As he said that, he shook his head: "The things that the emperor has been worrying about happen every night in his dreams, and now the court is inclined to send troops to fight. It seems that they will soon fight Xi Rong."

"It's so good, why does the emperor have to be trapped by nightmares?"

"I don't know. The imperial doctor said that the emperor was too worried about Xirong when he thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. The Taoist priests in the Daolu Department didn't know whether they were incompetent or were instigated by others. They all said that there was no evil. But His Royal Highness Zhao thinks This matter is not that simple, it should be someone secretly playing tricks. Now that you have a different skill, it is really a great luck for us, with your help, we must find out what is going on."

Han Lang was praised by him, and entrusted with such an important task, he was inevitably confused: "But I just went back to my hometown, learned some superficial knowledge, and dare not call myself a celestial master..."

"You solved a case in the capital, didn't you, Xu family's case," Yu Zuoshu said, patting Han Lang's shoulder meaningfully, "Before in Anping, you also solved many ghost-related incidents , don’t be modest, Brother Han, you are capable, and I must rely on you this time.”

Han Lang had no choice but to come down, and Yu Zuoshu continued to appease him, saying some things to solve, and what kind of reward would he give him.While talking, the sedan chair stopped in front of a mansion, Yu Zuo Shu went down first, Han Lang followed closely behind, looked up and found that this was the residence of the Grand Tutor.

Yu Zuoshu instructed him: "You go in with me first, if you find anything, come out and talk about it."

Then, he explained his purpose to the gatekeeper, and was welcomed in respectfully.A group of people walked through the main room and walked directly to the backyard.Han Lang found that the courtyard was usually surrounded by flowers and trees, but it was rarely visited by people. Occasionally, when he saw maids, they would walk in a hurry and look nervous.He suddenly recalled the rumors he heard outside the city. Some people said that the concubine that the Tai Tuo Xin took was a monster. It seemed that something serious happened in this mansion.

Not far away, they met a young man.This person looks weak and weak, rather not energetic, but he doesn't look like that kind of monster-ridden appearance.Han Lang felt that this person was very familiar, and after some recollection, he suddenly remembered, wasn't this the one who was talking sarcasticly at the side during the Lantern Festival last time?

It turned out to be someone from the Taifu's mansion. Looking at the brocade clothes and fine attire, I'm afraid he is still a young master?

Now he didn't bother to ask more questions, he raised his head, held his breath and stared at the sky of Tai Tuo's mansion, as if he didn't feel any evil spirit.Now he can't say well, I'm afraid we still need to observe for a while before we can come to a conclusion.

Just then, they were approaching the bedroom in the back yard.There was a faint voice coming from inside, it sounded like a woman scolding others: "You still have the nerve to come?! Get out!"

As their footsteps approached, the voice inside suddenly became quieter, and the servant who led Han Lang and his party entered the room to announce, and soon a woman opened the curtain and came out and said, "Master Yu is here? Are you here?" If you are far away, I hope you will forgive me.”

Judging from the voice, this lady is the one who gave the lecture just now.Han Lang sized her up. She was over forty years old, with extraordinary bearing and graceful attire. She was probably the prince's wife.Then another young woman came out of the room. Although she was not particularly gorgeous, she had an elegant temperament. There was always an indescribable feeling about her body, which made people involuntarily want to get close to her.And there seemed to be a faint fragrance of flowers on her body, which was fleeting.Seeing that she was also well dressed, with a pearl hairpin on her hair, Han Lang immediately guessed that this might be the concubine of Taifu Gangna.

Mrs. Tai Fu obviously didn't like this little concubine, but she couldn't get angry when the guests were present, so she drove her back with a few words.When a group of people walked into the house, they were met with a strong smell of medicine.The medicinal soup on the table was still steaming, but Mrs. Taifu frowned and told the servants: "Why is this thing still there? It's about to be poured. That coquettish fox brought it in, can you drink it!"

After finishing speaking, a bowl of decoction was immediately thrown in the yard by the servant girl.Everyone present was surprised, and Yu Zuoshu didn't have any big reaction, so he asked, "Is your lord okay?"

Mrs. Taifu looked gloomy and sighed: "I still haven't woken up."

She led everyone to go in to check, the Grand Tutor was lying flat on the step, his face was gloomy, he looked terminally ill.Han Lang didn't know how to diagnose a disease, so he thought he should ask He Yijiu to take a look.At this time, Yu Zuoshu asked, "Where is the maid who poured tea for her?"

Mrs. Taifu snorted coldly: "I dragged it out long ago and died with a stick."

Yu Zuoshu shook his head helplessly: "It should be handed over to the officials for trial first."

After finding a gap, Yu Zuo Shu explained to Han Lang what was going on.The big and small entanglements in the Taifu's residence are really chaotic. The eldest wife, Mrs. He, has a hot personality and a prominent family background. When the Taifu was young, he was a little afraid of her, and he always loved and loved her, not daring to offend her.Then the second concubine who was included later passed away unexpectedly, and the third concubine died of illness in a muddle.

Now that the He family is old and young, and the Taifu's career is booming, the fourth concubine Mei who was included later competed fiercely with the He family.Some time ago, the Tai Fu left Beijing for a few months, and when he came back, he brought back a fifth concubine, Du Shi, who was just reprimanded by the wife of the main house.As soon as she entered the door, it was tantamount to destroying the division of the Tai Tuo's mansion into two. Now it became more and more chaotic, and conflicts, big and small, continued day by day.

The Taifu didn't want to care about these things, he was one of the three princes, he was entangled in the fights in the mansion all day long, what a shame.Both the He family and the Mei family have a son, but the young master is a wimp who will only hurt the spring and the autumn all day long, wasting the excellent title of the first son in vain.Mei's son is very intelligent and is loved by the Taifu.Although the newly arrived Mrs. Du has been in the mansion for a short time and has no influence, she is young and beautiful, and now she is being protected wholeheartedly by the Taifu. Although Mrs. He often makes troubles, she can't move her for the time being.

Hearing this background, Han Lang was dizzy, and it took him a lot of effort to sort out the surnames and influences of the three wives. The Taifu's mansion really was a "three-legged confrontation", very dangerous.Now that the two sons are grown up, and Mei's son is getting better and better, some people in the house spread gossip, saying that the eldest wife, He, wanted to kill the Tai Tuo secretly, so that his son could be firmly established as the heir in advance.

Of course, this is just a rumor, but it cannot be denied that if the Tai Tuo passed away, it would only be good for the eldest wife, and neither of the other two had such motives.

The Taifu had an accident while tasting tea. At that time, he picked up the cup and took a sip when he suddenly choked and coughed, and then fell straight down. He is still as angry as ever, and has never woken up.The maid who poured tea for him was killed by the eldest wife, but everyone knew that the maid could not be the mastermind, and there must be someone behind it.

"Since this is the case, Mrs. He is very suspicious," Han Lang said in a low voice, "Then what do you say about monsters harming people?"

Yu Zuoshu sighed softly: "It's that young fifth concubine, Mrs. Du, who seems to have learned some magic, can divination, and heals diseases. Moreover, this person is very strange, eats very little, and does not touch meat. The things she has passed through There is always a strange fragrance blowing across the face."

As he said that, he waved his hands helplessly, and said in a low voice: "If a person is too mysterious, people will feel uneasy, so many people secretly say that she is a monster. Now that the Taifu is unconscious, everyone in the world Rumors of Tai Tuo being haunted by monsters began to spread, and even spread into the court, which was linked to the emperor's nightmare, and the trouble became bigger and bigger."

"But when I came in just now, I didn't notice any evil spirit here." Han Lang said.

Yu Zuoshu said "hmm": "That's the best, but don't be careless. I don't think this case is easy to investigate. I need your help during these days."
