Cannon Fodder Collection [Comprehensive]
Chapter 50 Liao Zhai (9)
In fact, when the boss of the book store mentioned Li Bai and others, Lin Ning was very moved. After all, they are all legendary characters. It's just that she can't be so active, but the "chip" in the boss's hand is really a Lin Ning really can't hold back any longer.
After hearing Lin Ning's words, the boss didn't say anything, and just looked at the cage on Lin Ning's belt.
Lin Ning also lowered her head to look, and saw the furry head of the unwilling pitcher plant sticking out of the cover, and then raised her head to look at the longing-looking boss, she stretched out her hand to block the pitcher plant and said, "Hell! Have there ever been mosquitoes?"
boss:"??"
The boss reacted immediately, "You think I want your little pet?"
Lin Ning raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that you want this cage?"
The boss said: "Not bad."
Lin Ning let go of the hand blocking the pitcher plant as soon as he heard it: "Yes."
The boss became suspicious: "Do you know what your cage is made of?"
Lin Ning said calmly: "My master gave me the materials. I originally wanted to use them for refining weapons, but I didn't lack magic weapons at the moment, so I used them to weave this cage."
The boss suddenly sighed: "What a waste of money!"
Lin Ning was even more curious, and said calmly, "Isn't it just a deer holding grass?"
The boss widened his eyes, and immediately clicked his tongue: "It seems that I met a rich man who doesn't know the sufferings of the Three Realms."
Lin Ning: "I would like to hear the details."
The boss didn't hide it either: "Placing this deer grass in the sun can bring people back to life."
Lin Ning was a little surprised and then restrained himself: "Then where is it in the underworld?" Hearing from the brother Yin, the bookstore owner's bookstore has been open for hundreds of years, and he didn't even think about reincarnation in the past. The meaning of Yangjian, besides, the errand boy is right by the door, so the owner of the bookshop wouldn't be so open and aboveboard to say "Huanyang".
The boss cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "If you refine it, you can make the chains of the yin errands all the way." Apart from tokens, the tool for arresting souls is the chains they drag in their hands.And this chain is different according to the position of the errand, and the effect is also different, like a general errand, their chains are effective for ordinary people, but if the soul-detainee has a little foundation, they will all hit a wall, like Previously outside the Qin Mansion, due to the Tongling Formation of Daoist Qingxu, even the bull's head and the horse's face were helpless.
In this way, if it is as the boss said, it is indeed a sharp weapon.
The errand boy who was waiting at the door couldn't help but gasped.
Lin Ning suddenly understood: "Do you still have a side job?"
The boss laughed and said, "It's just to make ends meet."
Lin Ning glanced at the erotic brother who was fascinated by it, and then brushed off his sleeves: "I think we can sit down and have a good talk."
The boss also looked weird. He thought he was a fool, but he turned out to be a shrewd one, so he declared: "This store does not deceive yin and yang."
Lin Ning: "Did I say you cheated?"
boss:"……"
The two of them had a good talk about the deal, and the result of the negotiation was that Lin Ning gave the cage to the boss, and then took two pieces of jade that Lin Ning filtered out impurities with his spiritual energy, in exchange for all the things in the boss's shop that could be brought back to the world. book of.Lin Ning brought a few new wintergreens and made a new cage for the pitcher plant, while looking at the stacks of books sent by the boss.
The boss couldn't help sighing: "Lang Jun is really a full man who doesn't know a hungry man is hungry."
Lin Ning circled around again, answered the question and said, "I feel embarrassed when you say that."
The boss's eyes lit up: "Then?"
Lin Ning suggested: "I'll give you one more, I'll be reading in your shop today, how about it?"
The boss thinks about how many books he can read in a day, and he doesn’t know how many books he can’t bring to the world. If he encounters a book that this gentleman likes, it’s inevitable that he will come to the ghost market tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even the next time. At that time, he might still be able to exchange for other good items, so he agreed very generously.
Lin Ning turned his head and said a few words to the little brother Yin who accompanied her, saying that she would be in the bookstore from now on, and he could go to his own work. The little brother glanced at the boss and hesitated to speak. The boss immediately realized that he was still interested in selling a good one to Lin Ning, so he said to the bad boy: "Even if you are the first to know, you will definitely be indispensable at that time."
The errand brother suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you!" It felt like a promotion and salary increase was just around the corner.
Lin Ning just smiled and didn't say much.
The boss was more calm: "Your Majesty, do as you please."
Lin Ning smiled at him: "Thank you."
The boss said very generously: "It's okay, it's okay."
In the end, in less than half an hour, the boss looked at Lin Ning who was flipping through the book as if turning his face, and knowing that she had never forgotten, he wished he could go back to half an hour ago and slap the generous self: "I'm calling you stupid!" '
What about reading the book a hundred times in order to see what is right?
It's just that the annoyance is the annoyance, but the boss didn't jump out and say it's unfair.First, he has been in the underworld for so many years, and he can be called the number one old fritter in the underworld. Naturally, he knows more about what happened in the underworld, so he still knows a lot about Lin Ning's identity; , isn't it?People can't keep their promises.So the boss only admired his integrity in his heart, and at the same time thought about what else he could offer in exchange, while Lin Ning regarded the bookstore as a library and happily spent the whole day here.
During the period, the boss brought a cup of tea.
After thanking Lin Ning, he took a sip and didn't drink any tea flavor, but looking at the cup of tea again, the tea was clear, and the stretched tea leaves in it were also well-textured. It didn't look like ordinary products, but Lin Ning didn't misunderstand the boss This is to show her face, because in the underworld, unless the ingredients are produced by the underworld, the food and drinks made with other ingredients from the sun are generally tasteless, let alone maintain the original taste .Like the altar of monkey wine that Lin Ning brought to the underworld, it did not dissipate the taste because it was kept in the universe in the sleeves and preserved with magic power. When she drank tea with Lu Pan in the underworld, the tea was the king of hell. The water given is from the underworld, so it also tastes like tea.
When he came back to his senses, Lin Ning swallowed the tea without frowning, and when he looked up again, he met the boss's piercing eyes.
Lin Ning: "..."
Lin Ning thought that she was a bit of a bully for taking reading as an endorsement, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to the boss's fiery gaze, so she said, "Maybe I invite you to drink tea."
Boss: "Great kindness!"
Lin Ning said abruptly, "Haven't I asked your last name?"
The boss said calmly: "You just call me boss." He didn't hide much when he said this, it was more like he simply didn't want to tell outsiders his name, and Lin Ning just didn't ask, but the boss Said: "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Lin Ning teased, "Is there a fee?"
The boss was very surprised: "You can charge for this? Everyone in Yangjian does this?"
Lin Ning immediately said firmly: "No!"
The boss clapped his hands and said, "Then I decided to set a precedent in the underworld."
Lin Ning: "..."
For this reason, Lin Ning contributed a bag of tea leaves, which was given to her by the proprietress of the small teahouse when she was in Jiaozhou, and because she kept it in her sleeves, it was naturally fresh all the time, and the taste had not dissipated open.The boss happily went to make tea, and after leaving a cup for Lin Ning, he made the rest.
This made Lin Ning a little curious. Since he felt that the tea in the underworld was tasteless, why didn't he choose to reincarnate?But after thinking about it, this is the boss's privacy, she is not easy to ask, and everyone will have helplessness, so she put this bit of curiosity behind her and continued to read the book.During the period, the pitcher plant had been sleeping soundly, but at noon it came to Lin Ning, put its little furry head on the back of her hand, and groaned at her a few times.
Lin Ning: "You don't even bark anymore."
She said some disgusting words, but she took out the pre-caught mosquitoes and grasshoppers from the universe in her sleeves, not just a single food.As soon as he looked up again, he met the boss's gaze, and Lin Ning shook his hands slightly: "Do you want to try this too?"
boss:"…………"
The boss felt that he should say something, otherwise, he would not be blessed to accept such a mosquito-eating hat. After thinking about it, he said: "There is also rice planted in the underworld. It is called Chongsi, and we often use it as a staple food."
Lin Ning's eyes lit up: "Sell it in Yangjian?"
The boss said: "You can ask Lu Juan."
Lin Ning: "Oh."
When Lin Ning stayed in the bookshop for a whole day and came back to Yan Luodian to see Lu Pan, he didn't forget to ask him about it.
Lu Pan nodded: "Yes, it's just that rethinking doesn't have much effect on the human race, it's just ordinary rice." Lu Pan didn't know Lin Ning's heel, and because Hui Taoist also became a fairy from a mortal, In addition, Lin Ning's usual behavior is no different from ordinary people, so Lu Pan subconsciously thinks that she is born as a mortal, so after saying this sentence, he suddenly felt a little inappropriate, so he patched: "Actually, the ghosts in the underworld The same is true. This rethinking is just because the food in the yang world is tasteless after arriving in the underworld. The king deliberately found it to take care of the taste of the ghosts in the underworld. I don’t know the specific origin, but I think Rethinking is probably not particularly adapted to the environment of the underworld."
Lin Ning: "How do you say that?"
Lu Juan said in a subtle tone: "The remembrance planted in the underworld is beneficial to the cultivation of the monster race."
Lin Ning suddenly thought: "Then have you ever tried to plant in the sun? It is to let the monsters use the power to cultivate it? Maybe it will be beneficial to the cultivation of the ghosts after planting."
Lu Pan: "This, the underworld really didn't think about it."
Lin Ning found it interesting, so he said to the thoughtful Lu Pan, "I can try it."
Lu Pan didn't do what he thought, thinking that Lin Ning had a demon clan that could be driven, and praised: "The Taoist really has a heart."
Lin Ning responded vaguely.
Next, Lu Pan took Lin Ning to the Nai River to look at Chongsi. It looked no different from the rice in Yangjian, except that the ears of rice were much larger than those in Yangjian, and the grains were as big as pomegranate seeds. I just didn’t know how to eat it What does it smell like?
about this issue?Soon Lin Ning knew the answer. This kind of rice called Chongsi tasted like water chestnut, and water chestnut grows in lakes, and it is easiest to grow when it falls in the mud. It is called "peanuts falling in the water", but now thinking about this kind of rice with grains the size of pomegranate seeds, but it tastes like water chestnut, should it be said that it was cultivated in the underworld?
Lin Ning quickly withdrew her divergent thoughts, put away the thoughtful rice that Lu Pan had given her, and then turned her attention back to the ghost market.
I also said before that it will be open to the demon clan on the second day, and the demon clan going to the ghost market in the underworld is not small. Most of the people traded to them by the Yaozu are Chongsi rice, which is good for the Yaozu's cultivation.In addition to the food in the underworld, the Yaozu also brought other things, such as the medicinal materials they picked, the jade they picked up, etc. Lin Ning did not lack these, but she still walked around to see if she could come to the underworld The monkey demon or deer demon, so you can ask them if they have any cultivation methods, or objects that are beneficial to the cultivation of these two tribes.
As a result, the monkey demon and the deer demon did not meet, but the pitcher plant took a fancy to the Cordyceps sinensis brought by a roe deer spirit.
Lin Ning: "..."
What else could Lin Ning do, she had to buy it, so she exchanged the Chongsi Rice that Lu Pan gave her.Looking at Chong Si Dao again, he thought to himself that it was really dark under the lights, isn't this Chong Si Dao something beneficial to the cultivation of the Yaozu?This belated awareness gave Lin Ning extra time to go to the bookstore, but when mortals sneaked into the ghost market on the third day, Lin Ning just went to look at it for a while and found that most of the mortals who came had roots. The alchemists or Taoist priests are often interested in the medicinal materials and jade brought by the Yaozu, and in addition to the items that are beneficial to the cultivation of the Yaozu, there are other demon pills from other Yaozu that they exchanged to the Yaozu. They hunted and killed other monster races in Yangjian, and traded their demon pills to other monster races.
But this kind of situation is rare, after all, the infiltrating alchemists don't want to cause trouble, and the number of monsters in the ghost market is much more than that of ordinary people.
Lin Ning looked intently, but he didn't see the alchemist covered in black light all over his body, so he didn't continue to look. You must know that the monster race has good intentions, and there are monsters making trouble in the world everywhere. It may be said that those monster pills belong to this kind of monsters .
·
Because he didn't have much interest in the ghost market, Lin Ning returned to King Yama two days earlier, ready to bid farewell to Lu Pan.When I came to the Hall of Yama again, the King of Yama was judging the case in the Hall of Yama. Lu Juan held the book of life and death and waited for the order of the King of Yama. Lin Ning didn't bother him, and waited for Lu Juan in the side hall.
The ghosts who come to the underworld will actually go through multiple procedures. The last one here is the Hall of Yama. The process is basically that the ghosts stand in front of the reincarnation mirror. What he did before his death was revealed one by one.Then the book of life and death will focus on revealing the good and evil of his life. In the end, the King of Yama will judge based on his character, whether he will go to the [-]th hell, or he will be reincarnated immediately, and what will the reincarnation be like? "women" will be determined by what they have done in this life.
Lin Ning had seen the mirror of reincarnation when the king of hell tried the real person Qingxu and Mr. Qin before. At that time, she was very curious about the mirror of reincarnation. She also thought about what kind of picture she would be shown if she stood in front of the mirror of reincarnation. .It must be clear that this reincarnation mirror can reflect past lives, present lives and future lives, and Lin Ning was an American in her previous life. It is hard to say whether there is hell in the United States in this world, but Lin Ning is originally a soul from another parallel world. Who knows what will come out.
As for the afterlife?Could it be that the reincarnation mirror can reveal the next world of her reincarnation?
Thinking about it this way, Lin Ning couldn't hold back anymore. Fortunately, reason quickly defeated curiosity, and in order to divert attention, Lin Ning watched the ghost being interrogated this time.
This ghost was from Shandong Xincheng before his death, surnamed Wang, Xingsi, and everyone called him Wang Silang. He finally judged that his merits and demerits were equal, but there was still a debt that had not yet been settled.It turned out that Wang Silang had lent [-] yuan to his fellow countryman Guo Sanlang before his death, but when Wang Silang passed away, Guo Sanlang did not return the [-] yuan to him. Guo Sanlang repaid the forty thousand he owed.
He even promised that Wang Silang would dream of Guo Sheng, who was in debt to him, before drinking the ecstasy soup, so that Guo Sanlang would know the whole story.
Lin Ning thought about the prices in Yangjian today, and then calculated how much [-] yuan can support a person from a baby to a certain age, and he didn't know what to say.After all, the [-] yuan can only make a baby grow up to five or six years old after it falls to the ground. That is to say, after the family has spent [-] yuan in total, Wang Silang, who was reborn as the son of the Guo family, will have to die immediately. .
How to describe this?There is a folk saying that adopting a child is to ask for debts, but I didn't expect this kind of saying to be concretized now.
Just as Lin Ning was thinking about it, Judgment Lu came over when he was free. Seeing that Lin Ning was thinking, he held the book of life and death and said, "Mr. Dao is interested in this lawsuit?"
Lin Ning: "It's just a little emotional in my heart."
Judge Lu didn't ask any further questions. He has been a judge for many years, and he has seen a lot of people of all kinds. The lawsuit like this one is the simplest. He didn't think there was anything to dig deeper about it, so he ended the topic along the way. , Turning to say: "Is Daojun here to say goodbye?"
Lin Ning nodded.
Lu Juan closed the book of life and death, "Then I will send Daojun a ride."
Lin Ning agreed.
Let's talk about Wang Silang who was owed [-] yuan just now, and he entrusted a dream to Guo Sanlang who owed him money.After Guo Sanlang woke up from his dream, his wife just gave birth to a son. Guo Sanlang knew that the son had come to ask him for [-] yuan, so he took out [-] yuan from the storeroom, and transferred the [-] yuan to him. The money is kept in a separate room, and all the expenses for the child in the future will come out of the forty thousand dollars.
After waiting for three or four years, Guo Sanlang saw that there were still [-] yuan left in the [-] yuan, so he found his "son" who was playing in the yard, and said to him: "The [-] yuan is almost used up, you should go gone."
As soon as the words fell, the "son" threw his head back and died, and Guo Sanlang used the remaining money to pay for the funeral, and when the funeral was over, there happened to be no money left.
By the way, this Guo Sanlang works as an accountant in a large family.
Of course, these are all postscripts of this lawsuit, and now Wang Silang is just sentenced to reincarnation, and he said to return to Lin Ning.After she came out of the underworld, she held the books brought back from the underworld to study, and at the same time headed towards Xishan, which is the mountain where Hou Yu and Lu Ming lived.She went there this time mainly to send Chongsi rice there, and by the way, asked Hou Yu if he could exchange some of the monkey wine he brewed for her so that she could resell it.
no……
It was used to honor the master, and some was given to Lu Pan, and Lu Pan might also offer some offerings to the King of Hades by the way—why does this seem like a blatant bribery?
Anyway, Hou Yu and Lu Ming are good talkers, and Lin Ning brought them Chongsi rice. They vaguely heard other monsters say that it is good for cultivation, so they solemnly thank you. Pass Lin Ning.Lin Ning also told Lu Ming, who loves farming, whether the monster race’s rethinking rice is feasible, and whether it is beneficial for ghosts to cultivate. Lu Ming was also very interested, so Lin Ning gave him some more important rice Si Tao made seeds, and made an appointment to send her a message as soon as there was news.
Afterwards, Lin Ning left Xishan in a sense of smugness after being kept by the two of them for a meal of wine.When passing by Xiaxi Village at the foot of Mount Xi, Lin Ning took a special look at Sun Erlang, who had been slapped by the lizard spirit before, because he didn't remember what happened that day, so he didn't seem to have any psychological barriers, and Mei Lanniang also played the piano and the piano harmoniously.
As for the other family involved?At that time, Lin Ning sent Sun Erlang away, but he didn't kill Lizard Jing's family because of it. It's hard to say who took advantage of this matter, but this kind of behavior of turning into a bride and hooking up with the groom is absolutely unacceptable Pick.Lin Ning very much warned the lizard spirit's family, and told them to repair the small bridge of the creek outside Guxiaxi Village, and said that she would stare at them, so they let them go. For the sake of a first offender.
Lin Ning also asked Hou Yu to help keep an eye on her when she came here this time. If she finds that Lizard Jing's family is doing bad things again, she will be notified immediately.
After this return visit, Lin Ning went to Xuancheng, which includes Xiaxi Village under the rule of Xuancheng. Just called magistrate.
The reason why Lin Ning came to Xuancheng was because when she was in the underworld, she accidentally heard that there were several unjust dead ghosts in Xuancheng recently, and they all died unjustly in the unjust prison created by the county magistrate of Xuancheng. There is no reincarnation, just waiting for the county magistrate to die, so that he can take revenge in the underworld.This sounds particularly sad, although the county magistrate will not have any good fruit to eat in the next life, but that is all about the next life, so what has it to do with the injustice of this life?
Lin Ning took this matter to heart.
For a long time, Lin Ning came to Xuancheng.
At this point in the evening, the sun was not so harsh, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.Lin Ning was preparing to find a teahouse as usual, but he never thought that there would be a voice from the corner of the street: "The county magistrate is traveling with a daughter, and the idlers should avoid it!"
Pedestrians on the street showed expressions of fear mixed with hidden hatred, and hurriedly avoided to both sides of the road. From this, we can see what kind of style this county magistrate's lady usually has.In fact, you don't need to look at the expressions of pedestrians, but you can tell the clues just by listening to the propaganda. That's really arrogant, isn't it?
Lin Ning lowered his eyes to hide the dark eyes, and dodged to the side of the road.
A soft sedan chair carried by four people was brought over from the corner of the street. Apart from the bearer, there were also two maids and two servants accompanying it. This whole group of people passed through the street wantonly.The soft sedan did not put down the curtain, and the daughter of the county magistrate sitting inside was full of pearls and emeralds, but she had a piece of noodles, but she had a pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, and her eyes were shrewd, which made her have a three-point viciousness. , Just looking at her makes people feel that she is not easy to mess with.
The county magistrate's surname is Cao, and everyone is called Cao County magistrate. His daughter's boudoir name contains the word lotus, and people close to her call her Lianniang.This Lian Niang is actually married, it can be seen from the fact that her hair has been combed into a woman's bun, and she is still married to a family in Lincheng. But this Lianniang is used to being domineering. When she said that she would go back to her natal home, she would drive back to her natal home without even telling her husband. When she returned to Xuancheng, she would treat the whole Xuancheng as her back garden. The kind of shopping that you can do as you like, so naturally you won't put down the soft car curtain.
It's just how much Xuancheng can change, Lianniang became impatient after watching it for a while, and was about to put down the curtain when she suddenly saw a Taoist priest in Taoist robes.Besides, the Taoist priest was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was beautiful in appearance, with picturesque features, and his eyes were full of brilliance. Standing there, he stood out like a flock of men. None of the husbands who came out were as good-looking as him.
Immediately, Cao Lianniang flew towards the handsome little Taoist priest with hooked eyes.
The little Taoist didn't squint.
Cao Lianniang: "..."
The soft sedan was not moving slowly, and after a while, the handsome little Taoist priest disappeared from Cao Lianniang's eyes. Cao Lianniang was so lost, she ordered the bearer to stop without thinking, and called her most trusted servant Cao Da to whisper a few words, Cao Da got the order and went to work by himself.
The soft sedan rises again.
It took less than a cup of tea to arrive at the Cao mansion, the county magistrate was already waiting, the butler said he was waiting for his aunt in the front study, so Cao Lianniang hurried to the study.
County magistrate Cao greeted his daughter a few words, and then got to the main topic: "The prefect of Qin is about to collapse, and the position of prefect has been vacant. I have done nothing but hard work in governing Xuancheng for my father for many years. It is time to rise up. As soon as I get promoted, I just don’t know how the business of my aunt’s family is doing well recently?” Cao Lianniang’s husband’s family is in business, and they can be ranked well in Lincheng, and the implication of Cao County Magistrate’s words is obvious.
When Cao Lianniang heard the words, she spat: "His family's business has not been as good as before, so they are just like him. They have silver pewter gun heads, which look good but don't work!"
County Magistrate Cao's face suddenly turned ugly, Cao Lianniang thought for a while and said, "The solution is not thought up by humans, and Lianniang and Dad will carefully figure it out at night."
Cao Lianniang has always been very determined, but Cao County Magistrate's expression turned pale.
And for Cao Lianniang, County Magistrate Cao was her biggest reliance on domineering and domineering, and she naturally planned well for him, so that when her loyal servant Cao Da found out which inn the handsome little Taoist lived in, Cao Lianniang felt in her heart It's a pity to say it straight, but she still has a chance, and she is not in a hurry, besides, she can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
I don't know if it was heaven's pity or something. When Cao Lianniang heard about a murder case in the county the next day, after questioning her carefully, she clapped her hands and laughed and said, "Look, if I don't come, it will kill two birds with one arrow. Got sex!"
What's going on here?
Let's talk about the handsome Taoist Ning, after she arrived in Xuancheng yesterday, she first went to the teahouse and listened to the evil deeds of the county magistrate Cao and the common people.Not only unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, but also occupying fertile land and increasing tax items for nothing. It can be said that he tried his best to search for the people's fat and anointment, which led to complaints from the people. It's not that no one has reported him. Unfortunately, his direct boss is the three generations The prefect of Qin is not as good as a beast.Because of the money sent by the county magistrate Cao, the magistrate of Qin sheltered the county magistrate Cao, so that the county magistrate Cao was still in Xuancheng as the county magistrate like a local emperor.
To punish corrupt officials, Lin Ning felt that it was not easy to follow her process of killing demons and demons, that is, she couldn't just kill the magistrate Cao, and she had to have a good account of the people here.
Speaking of how to do it, Lin Ning remembered a sentence that Lu Juan inadvertently mentioned when he was in the underworld, and felt that she only needed to collect the criminal evidence of the county magistrate Cao.He was not sure when what Lu Juan said would be implemented, so Lin Ning temporarily found an inn and rented it for two days, and collected the evidence first.
The inn that Lin Ning rented was run by a foreigner. The foreigner had a family of four and greeted the guests very earnestly. At the same time, there was also a merchant who lived in. He and four strong servants brought a Lot of goods, come in and stay for one night.
With a sharp nose, Lin Ning smelled the fragrance of rice, and sighed in her heart that she seems to be destined for rice recently.
Occasionally, I heard a servant mention that they had finally sold a few loads of fragrant rice from Jiang Yongyuan's mouth this time. You must know that Jiang Yongyuan's fragrant rice has the praise of "the wind blows it, and the fragrance is heard from five miles away". Several dynasties have been designated as tribute rice, and its price can be imagined, which is several times higher than ordinary rice.
Lin Ning listened to it for a while, but didn't pay any more attention.After entering her room, she settled down, and went to the Cao Mansion in the dead of night. After a while, she found a lot of criminal evidence from the county magistrate Cao, which was enough to make his head fall. When Lin Ning came back, he heard the businessman who rented a small courtyard alone complaining: "Damn rat!"
A servant comforted: "Fortunately, the rice that these beasts ate was only a bowl of rice."
The merchant was heartbroken: "That's a bowl!"
The servant hurriedly said: "Young man, throw these dead mice out, don't let them dirty the master's eyes."
The merchant cursed a few more words later, and managed to calm down his anger. When he turned around and looked at Mi Ang, whom he had poured water to drown the mice, he still felt pain in his flesh, and he didn't know where the mice were. How did you unscrew the cap on the mioz.Then he thought that the store owner was really irresponsible, why didn't he buy rat poison to kill rats in the store, but he lost a bowl of fragrant rice for nothing.The merchant glanced at Mi An again, gritted his teeth and poured out the water inside, and washed the remaining fragrant rice inside, pretending that they hadn't been "tainted" by that damn mouse, otherwise he would have just smashed the rice Oh, is it still necessary to pour water into it?
Lin Ning only heard the conversation between their master and servant, so she went straight back to her room, and when she sat back on the bed, the pitcher plant opened her eyes and rubbed against Lin Ning. In the leg socket, he continued to lie on his stomach and did not move.Lin Ning couldn't help laughing, and intentionally let out a bit of aura during the meditation, and then went to comb the body of the nepenthes, maybe someday the nepenthes could also become refined.
A night without dreams.
When it was daylight, the merchant and his servants came one after another. They were about to leave as soon as possible, but they saw the corpses of the shopkeeper's family of four outside the stable.
"Dead!"
Lin Ning opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and then he put the pitcher plant into the cage very familiarly, took the Dragon Sword that was placed next to it, and went to the source of the sound.The store's family of four couldn't die anymore, and what's even more strange is that their hair roots are still wet, you know it's a scorching heat.Seeing the less obvious cyanosis on their faces, Lin Ning frowned and squatted down to observe their corpses carefully.
The group of merchants next to them gasped in horror, "Master?"
Lin Ning ignored them, and observed that the skin of the corpse was viscous and pale, and there were foams at the mouth and nose, which would come out after the foam was wiped off. The foam was small and stable, and there were goosebumps on the skin all over the body. This is enough for Lin Ning to make a judgment.She turned her head and said to the majestic merchant master and servant: "They were drowned, and they were picked up soon after drowning."
Merchant: "Huh?!"
Lin Ning checked the hands of the family of four in the store again, and there was no water grass or sand between their nails, which was strange.What's even more strange is that Lin Ning didn't hear any movement before and after. Of course, she still went out for half an hour, and went to Cao County Magistrate's house to collect his criminal evidence. At the beginning of the day (around three o'clock), the current time is Maoshichu (five o'clock).Then assuming that the store's family of four were killed during the time she went out, and the corpses were abandoned here so blatantly, the suspects were too quick, and the four in the store did not have an obvious tendency to struggle. No sediment or aquatic plants, it means that they were not drowned in rivers or ponds, but in clear water, unless they were first poured with medicine and then drowned.
Also, seeing that the soles of their shoes are wet, it means that they were thrown into the water whole. What kind of vessel should be used for this?This is too cumbersome, how can this series be done so completely in half an hour?
Let's not talk about utensils first, let's talk about possible drugs.When Lin Ning got closer to smell their bodies, she didn't smell any drug she knew. On the contrary, she smelled a familiar smell, and Lin Ning also picked up an unexpected and seemingly something within reason.
Something flashed through Lin Ning's mind, and she turned her head to stare at the four servants.
After hearing Lin Ning's words, the boss didn't say anything, and just looked at the cage on Lin Ning's belt.
Lin Ning also lowered her head to look, and saw the furry head of the unwilling pitcher plant sticking out of the cover, and then raised her head to look at the longing-looking boss, she stretched out her hand to block the pitcher plant and said, "Hell! Have there ever been mosquitoes?"
boss:"??"
The boss reacted immediately, "You think I want your little pet?"
Lin Ning raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that you want this cage?"
The boss said: "Not bad."
Lin Ning let go of the hand blocking the pitcher plant as soon as he heard it: "Yes."
The boss became suspicious: "Do you know what your cage is made of?"
Lin Ning said calmly: "My master gave me the materials. I originally wanted to use them for refining weapons, but I didn't lack magic weapons at the moment, so I used them to weave this cage."
The boss suddenly sighed: "What a waste of money!"
Lin Ning was even more curious, and said calmly, "Isn't it just a deer holding grass?"
The boss widened his eyes, and immediately clicked his tongue: "It seems that I met a rich man who doesn't know the sufferings of the Three Realms."
Lin Ning: "I would like to hear the details."
The boss didn't hide it either: "Placing this deer grass in the sun can bring people back to life."
Lin Ning was a little surprised and then restrained himself: "Then where is it in the underworld?" Hearing from the brother Yin, the bookstore owner's bookstore has been open for hundreds of years, and he didn't even think about reincarnation in the past. The meaning of Yangjian, besides, the errand boy is right by the door, so the owner of the bookshop wouldn't be so open and aboveboard to say "Huanyang".
The boss cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "If you refine it, you can make the chains of the yin errands all the way." Apart from tokens, the tool for arresting souls is the chains they drag in their hands.And this chain is different according to the position of the errand, and the effect is also different, like a general errand, their chains are effective for ordinary people, but if the soul-detainee has a little foundation, they will all hit a wall, like Previously outside the Qin Mansion, due to the Tongling Formation of Daoist Qingxu, even the bull's head and the horse's face were helpless.
In this way, if it is as the boss said, it is indeed a sharp weapon.
The errand boy who was waiting at the door couldn't help but gasped.
Lin Ning suddenly understood: "Do you still have a side job?"
The boss laughed and said, "It's just to make ends meet."
Lin Ning glanced at the erotic brother who was fascinated by it, and then brushed off his sleeves: "I think we can sit down and have a good talk."
The boss also looked weird. He thought he was a fool, but he turned out to be a shrewd one, so he declared: "This store does not deceive yin and yang."
Lin Ning: "Did I say you cheated?"
boss:"……"
The two of them had a good talk about the deal, and the result of the negotiation was that Lin Ning gave the cage to the boss, and then took two pieces of jade that Lin Ning filtered out impurities with his spiritual energy, in exchange for all the things in the boss's shop that could be brought back to the world. book of.Lin Ning brought a few new wintergreens and made a new cage for the pitcher plant, while looking at the stacks of books sent by the boss.
The boss couldn't help sighing: "Lang Jun is really a full man who doesn't know a hungry man is hungry."
Lin Ning circled around again, answered the question and said, "I feel embarrassed when you say that."
The boss's eyes lit up: "Then?"
Lin Ning suggested: "I'll give you one more, I'll be reading in your shop today, how about it?"
The boss thinks about how many books he can read in a day, and he doesn’t know how many books he can’t bring to the world. If he encounters a book that this gentleman likes, it’s inevitable that he will come to the ghost market tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even the next time. At that time, he might still be able to exchange for other good items, so he agreed very generously.
Lin Ning turned his head and said a few words to the little brother Yin who accompanied her, saying that she would be in the bookstore from now on, and he could go to his own work. The little brother glanced at the boss and hesitated to speak. The boss immediately realized that he was still interested in selling a good one to Lin Ning, so he said to the bad boy: "Even if you are the first to know, you will definitely be indispensable at that time."
The errand brother suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you!" It felt like a promotion and salary increase was just around the corner.
Lin Ning just smiled and didn't say much.
The boss was more calm: "Your Majesty, do as you please."
Lin Ning smiled at him: "Thank you."
The boss said very generously: "It's okay, it's okay."
In the end, in less than half an hour, the boss looked at Lin Ning who was flipping through the book as if turning his face, and knowing that she had never forgotten, he wished he could go back to half an hour ago and slap the generous self: "I'm calling you stupid!" '
What about reading the book a hundred times in order to see what is right?
It's just that the annoyance is the annoyance, but the boss didn't jump out and say it's unfair.First, he has been in the underworld for so many years, and he can be called the number one old fritter in the underworld. Naturally, he knows more about what happened in the underworld, so he still knows a lot about Lin Ning's identity; , isn't it?People can't keep their promises.So the boss only admired his integrity in his heart, and at the same time thought about what else he could offer in exchange, while Lin Ning regarded the bookstore as a library and happily spent the whole day here.
During the period, the boss brought a cup of tea.
After thanking Lin Ning, he took a sip and didn't drink any tea flavor, but looking at the cup of tea again, the tea was clear, and the stretched tea leaves in it were also well-textured. It didn't look like ordinary products, but Lin Ning didn't misunderstand the boss This is to show her face, because in the underworld, unless the ingredients are produced by the underworld, the food and drinks made with other ingredients from the sun are generally tasteless, let alone maintain the original taste .Like the altar of monkey wine that Lin Ning brought to the underworld, it did not dissipate the taste because it was kept in the universe in the sleeves and preserved with magic power. When she drank tea with Lu Pan in the underworld, the tea was the king of hell. The water given is from the underworld, so it also tastes like tea.
When he came back to his senses, Lin Ning swallowed the tea without frowning, and when he looked up again, he met the boss's piercing eyes.
Lin Ning: "..."
Lin Ning thought that she was a bit of a bully for taking reading as an endorsement, and she couldn't turn a blind eye to the boss's fiery gaze, so she said, "Maybe I invite you to drink tea."
Boss: "Great kindness!"
Lin Ning said abruptly, "Haven't I asked your last name?"
The boss said calmly: "You just call me boss." He didn't hide much when he said this, it was more like he simply didn't want to tell outsiders his name, and Lin Ning just didn't ask, but the boss Said: "If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Lin Ning teased, "Is there a fee?"
The boss was very surprised: "You can charge for this? Everyone in Yangjian does this?"
Lin Ning immediately said firmly: "No!"
The boss clapped his hands and said, "Then I decided to set a precedent in the underworld."
Lin Ning: "..."
For this reason, Lin Ning contributed a bag of tea leaves, which was given to her by the proprietress of the small teahouse when she was in Jiaozhou, and because she kept it in her sleeves, it was naturally fresh all the time, and the taste had not dissipated open.The boss happily went to make tea, and after leaving a cup for Lin Ning, he made the rest.
This made Lin Ning a little curious. Since he felt that the tea in the underworld was tasteless, why didn't he choose to reincarnate?But after thinking about it, this is the boss's privacy, she is not easy to ask, and everyone will have helplessness, so she put this bit of curiosity behind her and continued to read the book.During the period, the pitcher plant had been sleeping soundly, but at noon it came to Lin Ning, put its little furry head on the back of her hand, and groaned at her a few times.
Lin Ning: "You don't even bark anymore."
She said some disgusting words, but she took out the pre-caught mosquitoes and grasshoppers from the universe in her sleeves, not just a single food.As soon as he looked up again, he met the boss's gaze, and Lin Ning shook his hands slightly: "Do you want to try this too?"
boss:"…………"
The boss felt that he should say something, otherwise, he would not be blessed to accept such a mosquito-eating hat. After thinking about it, he said: "There is also rice planted in the underworld. It is called Chongsi, and we often use it as a staple food."
Lin Ning's eyes lit up: "Sell it in Yangjian?"
The boss said: "You can ask Lu Juan."
Lin Ning: "Oh."
When Lin Ning stayed in the bookshop for a whole day and came back to Yan Luodian to see Lu Pan, he didn't forget to ask him about it.
Lu Pan nodded: "Yes, it's just that rethinking doesn't have much effect on the human race, it's just ordinary rice." Lu Pan didn't know Lin Ning's heel, and because Hui Taoist also became a fairy from a mortal, In addition, Lin Ning's usual behavior is no different from ordinary people, so Lu Pan subconsciously thinks that she is born as a mortal, so after saying this sentence, he suddenly felt a little inappropriate, so he patched: "Actually, the ghosts in the underworld The same is true. This rethinking is just because the food in the yang world is tasteless after arriving in the underworld. The king deliberately found it to take care of the taste of the ghosts in the underworld. I don’t know the specific origin, but I think Rethinking is probably not particularly adapted to the environment of the underworld."
Lin Ning: "How do you say that?"
Lu Juan said in a subtle tone: "The remembrance planted in the underworld is beneficial to the cultivation of the monster race."
Lin Ning suddenly thought: "Then have you ever tried to plant in the sun? It is to let the monsters use the power to cultivate it? Maybe it will be beneficial to the cultivation of the ghosts after planting."
Lu Pan: "This, the underworld really didn't think about it."
Lin Ning found it interesting, so he said to the thoughtful Lu Pan, "I can try it."
Lu Pan didn't do what he thought, thinking that Lin Ning had a demon clan that could be driven, and praised: "The Taoist really has a heart."
Lin Ning responded vaguely.
Next, Lu Pan took Lin Ning to the Nai River to look at Chongsi. It looked no different from the rice in Yangjian, except that the ears of rice were much larger than those in Yangjian, and the grains were as big as pomegranate seeds. I just didn’t know how to eat it What does it smell like?
about this issue?Soon Lin Ning knew the answer. This kind of rice called Chongsi tasted like water chestnut, and water chestnut grows in lakes, and it is easiest to grow when it falls in the mud. It is called "peanuts falling in the water", but now thinking about this kind of rice with grains the size of pomegranate seeds, but it tastes like water chestnut, should it be said that it was cultivated in the underworld?
Lin Ning quickly withdrew her divergent thoughts, put away the thoughtful rice that Lu Pan had given her, and then turned her attention back to the ghost market.
I also said before that it will be open to the demon clan on the second day, and the demon clan going to the ghost market in the underworld is not small. Most of the people traded to them by the Yaozu are Chongsi rice, which is good for the Yaozu's cultivation.In addition to the food in the underworld, the Yaozu also brought other things, such as the medicinal materials they picked, the jade they picked up, etc. Lin Ning did not lack these, but she still walked around to see if she could come to the underworld The monkey demon or deer demon, so you can ask them if they have any cultivation methods, or objects that are beneficial to the cultivation of these two tribes.
As a result, the monkey demon and the deer demon did not meet, but the pitcher plant took a fancy to the Cordyceps sinensis brought by a roe deer spirit.
Lin Ning: "..."
What else could Lin Ning do, she had to buy it, so she exchanged the Chongsi Rice that Lu Pan gave her.Looking at Chong Si Dao again, he thought to himself that it was really dark under the lights, isn't this Chong Si Dao something beneficial to the cultivation of the Yaozu?This belated awareness gave Lin Ning extra time to go to the bookstore, but when mortals sneaked into the ghost market on the third day, Lin Ning just went to look at it for a while and found that most of the mortals who came had roots. The alchemists or Taoist priests are often interested in the medicinal materials and jade brought by the Yaozu, and in addition to the items that are beneficial to the cultivation of the Yaozu, there are other demon pills from other Yaozu that they exchanged to the Yaozu. They hunted and killed other monster races in Yangjian, and traded their demon pills to other monster races.
But this kind of situation is rare, after all, the infiltrating alchemists don't want to cause trouble, and the number of monsters in the ghost market is much more than that of ordinary people.
Lin Ning looked intently, but he didn't see the alchemist covered in black light all over his body, so he didn't continue to look. You must know that the monster race has good intentions, and there are monsters making trouble in the world everywhere. It may be said that those monster pills belong to this kind of monsters .
·
Because he didn't have much interest in the ghost market, Lin Ning returned to King Yama two days earlier, ready to bid farewell to Lu Pan.When I came to the Hall of Yama again, the King of Yama was judging the case in the Hall of Yama. Lu Juan held the book of life and death and waited for the order of the King of Yama. Lin Ning didn't bother him, and waited for Lu Juan in the side hall.
The ghosts who come to the underworld will actually go through multiple procedures. The last one here is the Hall of Yama. The process is basically that the ghosts stand in front of the reincarnation mirror. What he did before his death was revealed one by one.Then the book of life and death will focus on revealing the good and evil of his life. In the end, the King of Yama will judge based on his character, whether he will go to the [-]th hell, or he will be reincarnated immediately, and what will the reincarnation be like? "women" will be determined by what they have done in this life.
Lin Ning had seen the mirror of reincarnation when the king of hell tried the real person Qingxu and Mr. Qin before. At that time, she was very curious about the mirror of reincarnation. She also thought about what kind of picture she would be shown if she stood in front of the mirror of reincarnation. .It must be clear that this reincarnation mirror can reflect past lives, present lives and future lives, and Lin Ning was an American in her previous life. It is hard to say whether there is hell in the United States in this world, but Lin Ning is originally a soul from another parallel world. Who knows what will come out.
As for the afterlife?Could it be that the reincarnation mirror can reveal the next world of her reincarnation?
Thinking about it this way, Lin Ning couldn't hold back anymore. Fortunately, reason quickly defeated curiosity, and in order to divert attention, Lin Ning watched the ghost being interrogated this time.
This ghost was from Shandong Xincheng before his death, surnamed Wang, Xingsi, and everyone called him Wang Silang. He finally judged that his merits and demerits were equal, but there was still a debt that had not yet been settled.It turned out that Wang Silang had lent [-] yuan to his fellow countryman Guo Sanlang before his death, but when Wang Silang passed away, Guo Sanlang did not return the [-] yuan to him. Guo Sanlang repaid the forty thousand he owed.
He even promised that Wang Silang would dream of Guo Sheng, who was in debt to him, before drinking the ecstasy soup, so that Guo Sanlang would know the whole story.
Lin Ning thought about the prices in Yangjian today, and then calculated how much [-] yuan can support a person from a baby to a certain age, and he didn't know what to say.After all, the [-] yuan can only make a baby grow up to five or six years old after it falls to the ground. That is to say, after the family has spent [-] yuan in total, Wang Silang, who was reborn as the son of the Guo family, will have to die immediately. .
How to describe this?There is a folk saying that adopting a child is to ask for debts, but I didn't expect this kind of saying to be concretized now.
Just as Lin Ning was thinking about it, Judgment Lu came over when he was free. Seeing that Lin Ning was thinking, he held the book of life and death and said, "Mr. Dao is interested in this lawsuit?"
Lin Ning: "It's just a little emotional in my heart."
Judge Lu didn't ask any further questions. He has been a judge for many years, and he has seen a lot of people of all kinds. The lawsuit like this one is the simplest. He didn't think there was anything to dig deeper about it, so he ended the topic along the way. , Turning to say: "Is Daojun here to say goodbye?"
Lin Ning nodded.
Lu Juan closed the book of life and death, "Then I will send Daojun a ride."
Lin Ning agreed.
Let's talk about Wang Silang who was owed [-] yuan just now, and he entrusted a dream to Guo Sanlang who owed him money.After Guo Sanlang woke up from his dream, his wife just gave birth to a son. Guo Sanlang knew that the son had come to ask him for [-] yuan, so he took out [-] yuan from the storeroom, and transferred the [-] yuan to him. The money is kept in a separate room, and all the expenses for the child in the future will come out of the forty thousand dollars.
After waiting for three or four years, Guo Sanlang saw that there were still [-] yuan left in the [-] yuan, so he found his "son" who was playing in the yard, and said to him: "The [-] yuan is almost used up, you should go gone."
As soon as the words fell, the "son" threw his head back and died, and Guo Sanlang used the remaining money to pay for the funeral, and when the funeral was over, there happened to be no money left.
By the way, this Guo Sanlang works as an accountant in a large family.
Of course, these are all postscripts of this lawsuit, and now Wang Silang is just sentenced to reincarnation, and he said to return to Lin Ning.After she came out of the underworld, she held the books brought back from the underworld to study, and at the same time headed towards Xishan, which is the mountain where Hou Yu and Lu Ming lived.She went there this time mainly to send Chongsi rice there, and by the way, asked Hou Yu if he could exchange some of the monkey wine he brewed for her so that she could resell it.
no……
It was used to honor the master, and some was given to Lu Pan, and Lu Pan might also offer some offerings to the King of Hades by the way—why does this seem like a blatant bribery?
Anyway, Hou Yu and Lu Ming are good talkers, and Lin Ning brought them Chongsi rice. They vaguely heard other monsters say that it is good for cultivation, so they solemnly thank you. Pass Lin Ning.Lin Ning also told Lu Ming, who loves farming, whether the monster race’s rethinking rice is feasible, and whether it is beneficial for ghosts to cultivate. Lu Ming was also very interested, so Lin Ning gave him some more important rice Si Tao made seeds, and made an appointment to send her a message as soon as there was news.
Afterwards, Lin Ning left Xishan in a sense of smugness after being kept by the two of them for a meal of wine.When passing by Xiaxi Village at the foot of Mount Xi, Lin Ning took a special look at Sun Erlang, who had been slapped by the lizard spirit before, because he didn't remember what happened that day, so he didn't seem to have any psychological barriers, and Mei Lanniang also played the piano and the piano harmoniously.
As for the other family involved?At that time, Lin Ning sent Sun Erlang away, but he didn't kill Lizard Jing's family because of it. It's hard to say who took advantage of this matter, but this kind of behavior of turning into a bride and hooking up with the groom is absolutely unacceptable Pick.Lin Ning very much warned the lizard spirit's family, and told them to repair the small bridge of the creek outside Guxiaxi Village, and said that she would stare at them, so they let them go. For the sake of a first offender.
Lin Ning also asked Hou Yu to help keep an eye on her when she came here this time. If she finds that Lizard Jing's family is doing bad things again, she will be notified immediately.
After this return visit, Lin Ning went to Xuancheng, which includes Xiaxi Village under the rule of Xuancheng. Just called magistrate.
The reason why Lin Ning came to Xuancheng was because when she was in the underworld, she accidentally heard that there were several unjust dead ghosts in Xuancheng recently, and they all died unjustly in the unjust prison created by the county magistrate of Xuancheng. There is no reincarnation, just waiting for the county magistrate to die, so that he can take revenge in the underworld.This sounds particularly sad, although the county magistrate will not have any good fruit to eat in the next life, but that is all about the next life, so what has it to do with the injustice of this life?
Lin Ning took this matter to heart.
For a long time, Lin Ning came to Xuancheng.
At this point in the evening, the sun was not so harsh, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.Lin Ning was preparing to find a teahouse as usual, but he never thought that there would be a voice from the corner of the street: "The county magistrate is traveling with a daughter, and the idlers should avoid it!"
Pedestrians on the street showed expressions of fear mixed with hidden hatred, and hurriedly avoided to both sides of the road. From this, we can see what kind of style this county magistrate's lady usually has.In fact, you don't need to look at the expressions of pedestrians, but you can tell the clues just by listening to the propaganda. That's really arrogant, isn't it?
Lin Ning lowered his eyes to hide the dark eyes, and dodged to the side of the road.
A soft sedan chair carried by four people was brought over from the corner of the street. Apart from the bearer, there were also two maids and two servants accompanying it. This whole group of people passed through the street wantonly.The soft sedan did not put down the curtain, and the daughter of the county magistrate sitting inside was full of pearls and emeralds, but she had a piece of noodles, but she had a pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, and her eyes were shrewd, which made her have a three-point viciousness. , Just looking at her makes people feel that she is not easy to mess with.
The county magistrate's surname is Cao, and everyone is called Cao County magistrate. His daughter's boudoir name contains the word lotus, and people close to her call her Lianniang.This Lian Niang is actually married, it can be seen from the fact that her hair has been combed into a woman's bun, and she is still married to a family in Lincheng. But this Lianniang is used to being domineering. When she said that she would go back to her natal home, she would drive back to her natal home without even telling her husband. When she returned to Xuancheng, she would treat the whole Xuancheng as her back garden. The kind of shopping that you can do as you like, so naturally you won't put down the soft car curtain.
It's just how much Xuancheng can change, Lianniang became impatient after watching it for a while, and was about to put down the curtain when she suddenly saw a Taoist priest in Taoist robes.Besides, the Taoist priest was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was beautiful in appearance, with picturesque features, and his eyes were full of brilliance. Standing there, he stood out like a flock of men. None of the husbands who came out were as good-looking as him.
Immediately, Cao Lianniang flew towards the handsome little Taoist priest with hooked eyes.
The little Taoist didn't squint.
Cao Lianniang: "..."
The soft sedan was not moving slowly, and after a while, the handsome little Taoist priest disappeared from Cao Lianniang's eyes. Cao Lianniang was so lost, she ordered the bearer to stop without thinking, and called her most trusted servant Cao Da to whisper a few words, Cao Da got the order and went to work by himself.
The soft sedan rises again.
It took less than a cup of tea to arrive at the Cao mansion, the county magistrate was already waiting, the butler said he was waiting for his aunt in the front study, so Cao Lianniang hurried to the study.
County magistrate Cao greeted his daughter a few words, and then got to the main topic: "The prefect of Qin is about to collapse, and the position of prefect has been vacant. I have done nothing but hard work in governing Xuancheng for my father for many years. It is time to rise up. As soon as I get promoted, I just don’t know how the business of my aunt’s family is doing well recently?” Cao Lianniang’s husband’s family is in business, and they can be ranked well in Lincheng, and the implication of Cao County Magistrate’s words is obvious.
When Cao Lianniang heard the words, she spat: "His family's business has not been as good as before, so they are just like him. They have silver pewter gun heads, which look good but don't work!"
County Magistrate Cao's face suddenly turned ugly, Cao Lianniang thought for a while and said, "The solution is not thought up by humans, and Lianniang and Dad will carefully figure it out at night."
Cao Lianniang has always been very determined, but Cao County Magistrate's expression turned pale.
And for Cao Lianniang, County Magistrate Cao was her biggest reliance on domineering and domineering, and she naturally planned well for him, so that when her loyal servant Cao Da found out which inn the handsome little Taoist lived in, Cao Lianniang felt in her heart It's a pity to say it straight, but she still has a chance, and she is not in a hurry, besides, she can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
I don't know if it was heaven's pity or something. When Cao Lianniang heard about a murder case in the county the next day, after questioning her carefully, she clapped her hands and laughed and said, "Look, if I don't come, it will kill two birds with one arrow. Got sex!"
What's going on here?
Let's talk about the handsome Taoist Ning, after she arrived in Xuancheng yesterday, she first went to the teahouse and listened to the evil deeds of the county magistrate Cao and the common people.Not only unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, but also occupying fertile land and increasing tax items for nothing. It can be said that he tried his best to search for the people's fat and anointment, which led to complaints from the people. It's not that no one has reported him. Unfortunately, his direct boss is the three generations The prefect of Qin is not as good as a beast.Because of the money sent by the county magistrate Cao, the magistrate of Qin sheltered the county magistrate Cao, so that the county magistrate Cao was still in Xuancheng as the county magistrate like a local emperor.
To punish corrupt officials, Lin Ning felt that it was not easy to follow her process of killing demons and demons, that is, she couldn't just kill the magistrate Cao, and she had to have a good account of the people here.
Speaking of how to do it, Lin Ning remembered a sentence that Lu Juan inadvertently mentioned when he was in the underworld, and felt that she only needed to collect the criminal evidence of the county magistrate Cao.He was not sure when what Lu Juan said would be implemented, so Lin Ning temporarily found an inn and rented it for two days, and collected the evidence first.
The inn that Lin Ning rented was run by a foreigner. The foreigner had a family of four and greeted the guests very earnestly. At the same time, there was also a merchant who lived in. He and four strong servants brought a Lot of goods, come in and stay for one night.
With a sharp nose, Lin Ning smelled the fragrance of rice, and sighed in her heart that she seems to be destined for rice recently.
Occasionally, I heard a servant mention that they had finally sold a few loads of fragrant rice from Jiang Yongyuan's mouth this time. You must know that Jiang Yongyuan's fragrant rice has the praise of "the wind blows it, and the fragrance is heard from five miles away". Several dynasties have been designated as tribute rice, and its price can be imagined, which is several times higher than ordinary rice.
Lin Ning listened to it for a while, but didn't pay any more attention.After entering her room, she settled down, and went to the Cao Mansion in the dead of night. After a while, she found a lot of criminal evidence from the county magistrate Cao, which was enough to make his head fall. When Lin Ning came back, he heard the businessman who rented a small courtyard alone complaining: "Damn rat!"
A servant comforted: "Fortunately, the rice that these beasts ate was only a bowl of rice."
The merchant was heartbroken: "That's a bowl!"
The servant hurriedly said: "Young man, throw these dead mice out, don't let them dirty the master's eyes."
The merchant cursed a few more words later, and managed to calm down his anger. When he turned around and looked at Mi Ang, whom he had poured water to drown the mice, he still felt pain in his flesh, and he didn't know where the mice were. How did you unscrew the cap on the mioz.Then he thought that the store owner was really irresponsible, why didn't he buy rat poison to kill rats in the store, but he lost a bowl of fragrant rice for nothing.The merchant glanced at Mi An again, gritted his teeth and poured out the water inside, and washed the remaining fragrant rice inside, pretending that they hadn't been "tainted" by that damn mouse, otherwise he would have just smashed the rice Oh, is it still necessary to pour water into it?
Lin Ning only heard the conversation between their master and servant, so she went straight back to her room, and when she sat back on the bed, the pitcher plant opened her eyes and rubbed against Lin Ning. In the leg socket, he continued to lie on his stomach and did not move.Lin Ning couldn't help laughing, and intentionally let out a bit of aura during the meditation, and then went to comb the body of the nepenthes, maybe someday the nepenthes could also become refined.
A night without dreams.
When it was daylight, the merchant and his servants came one after another. They were about to leave as soon as possible, but they saw the corpses of the shopkeeper's family of four outside the stable.
"Dead!"
Lin Ning opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and then he put the pitcher plant into the cage very familiarly, took the Dragon Sword that was placed next to it, and went to the source of the sound.The store's family of four couldn't die anymore, and what's even more strange is that their hair roots are still wet, you know it's a scorching heat.Seeing the less obvious cyanosis on their faces, Lin Ning frowned and squatted down to observe their corpses carefully.
The group of merchants next to them gasped in horror, "Master?"
Lin Ning ignored them, and observed that the skin of the corpse was viscous and pale, and there were foams at the mouth and nose, which would come out after the foam was wiped off. The foam was small and stable, and there were goosebumps on the skin all over the body. This is enough for Lin Ning to make a judgment.She turned her head and said to the majestic merchant master and servant: "They were drowned, and they were picked up soon after drowning."
Merchant: "Huh?!"
Lin Ning checked the hands of the family of four in the store again, and there was no water grass or sand between their nails, which was strange.What's even more strange is that Lin Ning didn't hear any movement before and after. Of course, she still went out for half an hour, and went to Cao County Magistrate's house to collect his criminal evidence. At the beginning of the day (around three o'clock), the current time is Maoshichu (five o'clock).Then assuming that the store's family of four were killed during the time she went out, and the corpses were abandoned here so blatantly, the suspects were too quick, and the four in the store did not have an obvious tendency to struggle. No sediment or aquatic plants, it means that they were not drowned in rivers or ponds, but in clear water, unless they were first poured with medicine and then drowned.
Also, seeing that the soles of their shoes are wet, it means that they were thrown into the water whole. What kind of vessel should be used for this?This is too cumbersome, how can this series be done so completely in half an hour?
Let's not talk about utensils first, let's talk about possible drugs.When Lin Ning got closer to smell their bodies, she didn't smell any drug she knew. On the contrary, she smelled a familiar smell, and Lin Ning also picked up an unexpected and seemingly something within reason.
Something flashed through Lin Ning's mind, and she turned her head to stare at the four servants.
