Jia Yu's Detective Case

Zheng Zhou in Zhoujiazhuang thought for a while and said:

"To be honest, my lord, I don't know what caused our Zhou family village to suddenly be unable to grow crops.

It's just that according to everyone's analysis, all the disasters encountered in these years are related to animals, so they guessed that they offended the mountain gods! "

Jia Yu nodded. He also guessed that he had offended the mountain god. Thinking of the sight when he first entered the village, he suspected that the mountain god was watching the village.

"Then what action did you take to apologize to the mountain god?"

"Yes, when there was no harvest in the first year, we slaughtered pigs and sheep and set up three animals to worship the mountain god and apologize to the mountain god, but it didn't work. The next year's summer harvest was still nothing!"

"Then didn't you invite Taoist priests?" Mr. Zhou asked.

"Why haven't I been invited? How many times have I been invited? It's a pity that most of the people invited are liars. Few people come in and shake their heads. They just say that we can't control this matter, and we can't do anything! It's been ten years this year." Yes, in the past few years, although no one in the village has starved to death, many have died of illness due to lack of food, and now they are all struggling, and I don’t know how long it will last!" Zhou Da sighed.

Master Zhou also sighed:

"It's such a pity that these two thousand acres of fertile land!"

There is very little arable land in Yunzhou, and there are even more fertile fields. The tax revenue of [-] mu of fertile land is lost every season, and it is difficult to make up for it with other places, so the annual tax is not paid in full.

Jia Yu frowned:

"Lizheng is thinking about it again. What strange things happened in the village ten years ago? It was either unusual or unfair. It's just a small talk. Say whatever comes to your mind. I won't punish you. You are."

Seeing that Zhou Da was afraid of offending him and wanted to shirk, Jia Yu added: "You may have overlooked something, but once you find the reason and solve the problem, it will benefit the people in your village, won't it?"

As soon as Zhou Da heard this, he became more cautious, and no longer dared to underestimate it, his forehead was sweating:

"My lord, this old man has a bad memory. Why don't I ask a few villagers to come over and recall it together, maybe it will be more complete?"

"What Li Zheng said is reasonable, then please arrange it!"

Several villagers in the village, aged from 60 to [-], sat together and talked about what happened ten years ago.

Since Jia Yu said that regardless of the size of the matter, they said it when they thought about it, and they did.

Jia Yu had been listening patiently, but as time went by, she began to feel a little flustered inexplicably.

After looking at Cang, I felt quite relieved.

Boss Cang patted his hand to comfort him silently, but felt a little distressed in his heart.

In order not to affect Jia Yu's reincarnation, he rarely intervenes in his affairs, let alone give him advice to affect his judgment. He decides everything by himself, and only serves as his strongest backing to ensure his safety. Take less pain.

This move was also a helpless move, only he knew how much he felt sorry for Jia Yu when he was in trouble, and wished he could do everything for him directly and give him a smooth path, but the fact is that he can't do this.

He has treated him like this for more than [-] years, doing everything for the help, and not asking him to worry about it, but once the catastrophe happens, he can't fight for him, and he has to bear it by himself.

Thinking back to when Jia Yu endured the catastrophe and was covered in bruises all over his body, he could only watch him suffer from the outside. The feeling of pain entering the gods' palace is still in his mind. He doesn't want to suffer it again, he can't lose Yu'er.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, Mr. Fang drank so much that he went to the hut several times, and finally couldn't sit still:

"My lord, the sun is about to set, and the mountain road is difficult to travel in the dark, why don't you go back to the city first and come back tomorrow?"

Jia Yumo, he was also tired and wanted to go back to rest, but he had a premonition in his heart that if he stayed in this village until night, he might be able to find the reason.

Because of this thought, he kept enduring the desire and desire to go down the mountain. Looking at the anxious lord, Jia Yu said:

"I feel that the stories told by the folks are interesting, and I want to listen to them again. Since Mr. Fang is in a hurry to go back, why not Mr. Fang go down the mountain first, and there are many people around me, so it doesn't matter if it is later."

Mr. Fang persuaded him a few more times, seeing that Jia Yu had made up his mind, he didn't care to offend him, and hurried back to the city with the yamen servants.

In this way, the sky darkened very quickly, and the village chief would naturally stay with Jia Yu and others for dinner.

The chief was embarrassed and said:

"I'm really sorry, my lord. Our village doesn't produce food, and the food is very simple. I'm afraid I'm going to neglect my lord!"

Jia Yu laughed:

"It doesn't matter. It just so happens that I have a taste of the meals of the villagers under the rule. But after all, I have troubled the villagers, and I will definitely leave tea money later. Please don't refuse!"

This afternoon's contact was enough to get to know Jia Yu well, she looked gentle, but she didn't allow anyone to refute what she said. A decision cannot be easily changed by others, so I had to smile and thank you for accepting it.

In this way, Jia Yu stayed in Zhoujiazhuang until the eclipse of the moon.

Visible to the naked eye, as the moonlight gets brighter, the surroundings of Zhoujiazhuang are gradually shrouded in fog, and the fog gradually thickens and gathers towards the village.

Man Shun glanced at the moon in the sky and said curiously:

"Why does it feel like the moon is brighter here?"

"Brother Shun must have misread it. It's almost fifteen, and the moon is going to be brighter than before. In addition, this place is halfway up the mountain, so I think it's brighter."

"Maybe I was wrong." Man Shun also felt that his suspicion was unreasonable.

"Brother Shun, my stomach is still empty, let's go into the mountains to find something to eat, otherwise how will this long night pass?"

Man Shun stared:

"Adults can eat it, why can't you eat it? You are not familiar with the place here, you are not allowed to run around and cause trouble. If something happens to you, you can't be saved!"

"Aren't I also worried about my lord, my lord must not have eaten well, so why don't I get some food to honor my lord?"

As a personal book boy, Man Shun hesitated. He naturally knew that the uncle must not have had enough, but it is obviously more unwise to go out at this time. After thinking about it, he said:

"Safety is the top priority. I will ask my lord for instructions later. If you allow me, go. If you don't allow me, no one can run around!"

"understood!"

The servant complained a few times and stopped pestering Manshun.

Besides, Jia Yu, as the moon rose, people gradually became sleepy. The villagers' conversations seemed to fade away. He closed his eyes and fell into Cang Zheng's arms beside him, leaning against Boss Cang's chest. After waking up, looking at the villagers around her, Jia Yu almost screamed in fright.

Boss Cang hugged him into his arms and comforted him softly:

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they are still human, not ghosts."

Jia Yu closed her eyes tightly and hugged Boss Cang's waist tightly, her voice trembling a little:

"W-Is it really not a ghost?"

"Really, your guess is correct. There are indeed some problems in this village. This is the best time to find out why. Don't miss it."

Jia Yu didn't dare to open her eyes:

"Then, those skeletons..."

"They are just deluded. They are still human beings at this moment. After another dozen or 20 years, they may really become ghosts."

"..." He doesn't have much wisdom. Zhen Shiyin hasn't mastered the spells left by Zhen Shiyin. Now he has only learned theoretical knowledge, and naturally only has some written understanding of this kind of ghosts.

Slowly opened his eyes, looked at the skeletons around who were moving their mouths but no longer making a sound, and said bitterly:

"I haven't talked about the topic for an entire afternoon. If it wasn't for my feelings, I wouldn't be able to find out such things in my whole life. It seems that this person who died in vain has great resentment and meritorious deeds, otherwise You don't have the ability to control the minds of hundreds of people in the entire village!"

Boss Cang nodded:

"That's right, so find out the source and fulfill his wish, and the spell among these people will be unraveled naturally, otherwise no amount of effort will be useless."

Jia Yu was a little timid, and swallowed: "It seems that the situation of the villagers is different from what is written in the book. Generally, people who have been cursed by this kind of curse are like normal people during the day, but ten years have passed. It should have been a long time ago.

By the way, fog!Cang, look, the fog here seems to be protecting the village! "Jia Yu said in surprise.

"What you said makes sense. If we find out the source of the mist, will we be able to find a way to deal with that ghost?" Boss Cang guided Jia Yu who was a little confused.

"Yes, it must be so, it must be so."

I guessed the method, but it takes courage to take actual actions, and what Jia Yu lacks most is courage.

Swallowing, Jia Yu clenched Boss Cang's hand, and finally walked out the door tremblingly.

The villagers outside wandered around unconsciously like real ghosts, while the servants of the Jia family had lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

Jia Yu was glad that the villagers were not real ghosts and would not eat the flesh and blood of living people, otherwise he would have felt sorry for the dozen or so people.

Now I can't wake them up, just let them lie down, so as not to wake up and be frightened.

Jia Yu calmed down and used the supporting exercises of subduing demons and subduing ghosts that he had practiced during this period of time. He manipulated the spiritual energy to surge up to the eyes of the sky. Everything in the night was as clear as day in front of his eyes. Jia Yu was surprised to find that the villagers There is a rope made of turbid air on his body connected to the largest locust tree in the village.

At this time, the locust tree seemed to be different from the daytime, obviously more vigorous and aggressive.

Jia Yu swallowed:

"This locust tree...couldn't be a big boss?"

Boss Cang smiled without saying a word.

"Look at what I said, what kind of monster dares to call BOSS in front of you, well, it's just an elite monster!"

He said to cheer himself up, but Jia Yu didn't dare to take a step, because he found that the roots of the big locust tree covered the whole village, and he was afraid that he would be arrested if he moved.

However, compared to the terrifying ghosts, the tree demon is obviously more acceptable to him.

Looking at the big locust tree in the distance, Jia Yu said loudly:

"That tree demon, can you come out and talk, why did you harm this village?"

The locust tree moved, as if turning around. The movement was a bit loud, and the villagers were driven out of rhythm, causing Jia Yu's heart to beat wildly.

Human features appear on the tree trunk:

"Outsiders, it has nothing to do with you, there is still time to leave now!"
