Chu Binger said, "Why are you asking this? I was in the carriage all the time." Seeing what she said so easily, Li Suya certainly didn't believe it. Yesterday and the whole day, this person was not right. Before, she had lost her for a long time before making a fuss. It's terrible, but now she looks indifferent, it seems that this time the inn is looking for someone, this little female ghost must be suspected, so Li Suya said seriously, "Did you kill someone?"

"No, what nonsense are you talking about." Chu Binger's tone gradually became unhappy. "Then who killed the person in the inn? The way that person died is the work of a ghost. How dare you say that it has nothing to do with you." Li Suya's tone was a little casual, with a very serious questioning tone, which made Chu Bing She was so angry, if she wasn't afraid of the sun, she wanted to run out and beat Li Suya up now! "Am I the only ghost in the world? Now that the world is so chaotic, it's rare for one or two ghosts to kill people everywhere? Everything depends on me. I'm really the kind of ghost who kills people indiscriminately. You still have life to live." Now?"

What Chu Binger said made Li Suya feel reasonable. Chu Binger is not that kind of bad girl, and her tone didn't sound like she was lying to herself. She slowed down and said, "I'm not sure it's you, it's just that Now that the inn is closed by the government, I think since this incident was done by a ghost, then you, a female ghost, can help a little."

"If you want to help, you have to wait until night. You want me to go out during the day? You idiot." Chu Binger scolded Li Suya, and then fell silent. She didn't know why she was so angry. Put it in the carriage, muttered a few words and left.As soon as she returned to the guest room, several officials stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, who are you?" "A guest staying at the hotel." Li Suya replied.

One of the officials looked at Li Suya and said, "Did you notice anything wrong when you were resting last night?" Nothing happened, nothing happened, so I had to take all the people in the inn back to the yamen for the time being.Now the inn is bustling, people from all corners of the country live here, many of them are businessmen who are walking, and when they heard that they were going to the Yamen, they all made a fuss.But the officials didn't care, and if someone died in their own jurisdiction, no one could escape the responsibility.Seeing that these people left in a row, they were about to lock up a few of them immediately. "There was a homicide case, why didn't the magistrate come here?" Li Suya frowned. She remembered very clearly that whenever there was a homicide case in the prefecture or county, the magistrate would come to the scene to investigate the case in person.

An official said, "The county magistrate takes care of everything every day, and you want to see it. Let me tell you that there is a murder case in the inn. All of you can't escape the responsibility, so I will take you away!" Li Suya saw that the bureaucrats here are too angry , shook his head and sighed, and called his followers to hand over his badge to the official.When the officer saw it, he was taken aback. Although Li Suya's official certificate stated that he was a fifth-rank Beijing official, even though he was not a very high-ranking official, the officer was about to kneel down to pay his respects.Li Suya hissed, telling the official to keep quiet. "Catcher, you seal the inn first, don't let the people inside go away for now, first take the corpse back to the county government office." Seeing Li Suya's integrity, the official thought it was some Beijing official who came to pay a private visit, so they dared not From then on, Dang even brought the body back to the Yamen.The inn was temporarily closed, and those people were not allowed to leave. Although there were complaints, there were many officials guarding the door, and the businessmen had nothing to do in the end.In fact, when encountering this kind of thing, Li Suya could have left, but now it is different. She is an official, although she is not an official who has been promoted to prison, but she can't ignore this kind of thing, at least she has to hand over the matter to her subordinates. An official can leave by himself.

Near noon, Li Suya came to the county government office together with the officials. The county magistrate had already received the news and was waiting at the gate of the government office. According to the rules, Li Suya returned to her hometown to announce the good news. She wouldn't make such a welcome, but Li Suya is a Beijing official after all, and she is a fifth-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy. She is the closest to the emperor, so there is no reason not to curry favor with her.The magistrate of the county is a middle-aged man, about 40 years old, with a thin appearance. After seeing Li Suya, he immediately bowed down. Li Suya helped him up and said, "There is no need to be polite in your county. If you want to salute like this, if the censor knows about it, you will definitely sue me." The magistrate smiled and said, "What did your lord say, this Wutai county can welcome a Beijing official like you, but this For the good fortune of the county, I have already arranged for the steward of the government office and prepared a banquet in the back hall."

Li Suya was in a bit of a dilemma, she didn't know the magistrate, so it might not be very good to rashly accept the other party's dinner invitation, but she couldn't refuse the kind invitation from the magistrate, so she had to follow him to the back hall, which just made Li Suya feel a little weird What's more surprising is that the Wutai county government office is different from other county government offices. It is very dilapidated, the lobby is dilapidated, and there are spider webs in some places. What surprised her even more was that the county magistrate invited this Table dishes, although Li Suya doesn't save much in her daily life, she doesn't always eat those big fish and meat, but the banquet in front of her is too cold... A few dishes look like wild vegetables, the most luxurious one is a It's a chicken, and it's too skinny to die.

The county magistrate saw that Li Suya's eyes were not right, and his face was a little nervous. He asked in a low voice, "My lord, what's the matter with you?" Li Suya hurriedly said, "It's nothing, you can sit down in your county."

At the dinner table, Li Suya asked why Wutai county government was so poor, the county magistrate sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, Wutai county was originally a rich place, and the annual tribute of imperial grain was also among the best in the whole state. But just a few years ago..." The county magistrate hesitated to speak, which made Li Suya even more curious, and after repeated urging, he reluctantly opened his mouth. It turned out that it was three years ago that Wutai County suffered from repeated droughts, and the land was devastated for thousands of miles. , the crops were not harvested, and the court could not solve the problem several times by allocating grain. Finally, the county magistrate had no choice but to ask the mage to pray for rain everywhere, thinking that he had offended some god. About a few months ago, a wandering A Taoist priest said that there was a drought in Wutai County, which is why the land is so far away. If the monster is not eliminated quickly, the drought may continue, and it may spread to other places. At that time, the county magistrate asked Taoist priests The monster was removed, but the Taoist priest said that he did not have enough magic power to do justice for the sky.Li Suya said curiously, "If this is the case, then you can go to the governor of Shangzhou, they don't need this money."

The county magistrate looked at Li Suya and said, "My lord, don't tease me. I didn't believe this kind of thing. If I tell it, the governor will not punish me. It's obviously bad governance, but it involves ghosts and gods. I can't afford this accusation." Li Suya thought about it later, after all, she had seen something like 'Hanba' in ancient books, so no one knew if there was one.Later, she thought of a person, maybe this person could help Wutai County get rid of that monster. "Guixian, don't worry, I can try this."

"My lord, do you have a way to subdue demons?" asked the county magistrate.Li Suya smiled and shook her head and said, "I don't have one, but someone I know can." After the noon banquet that day, Li Suya went to find Chu Binger to discuss this matter, but the little ghost was completely angry. Just ignore her, no matter how Li Suya persuaded her, she just didn't say a word.Probably in the evening, Li Suya accompanied the county magistrate to go out to check some disasters and came back. She saw Chu Binger sitting on the bed in the room, not saying a word, and her face was extremely ugly. Li Suya knew that the other party was still beating herself because of what happened in the morning. She was so angry, so she walked up to her and said, "What's the matter? Is the little beauty angry?" It was the first time she spoke in such exaggerated words, and she said it so easily, Chu Binger's pretty face flushed slightly, and she gave her a white look , continue to be in a daze.

"Isn't it because I misunderstood you in the morning? Well, can I make an apology to you?" Li Suya bent down and bowed, but Chu Binger still had a cold expression on her face.In the end Li Suya had nothing to do, she stepped forward and tugged on Chu Binger's sleeve, Chu Binger said angrily, "What are you doing!"

"I want you to do me a favor, how about it?" "No." Without even thinking about it, Chu Binger directly refused. "Oh, you, you don't even listen to what I ask you to help, why don't you help?" Chu Binger said with a straight face, "Listen to me, if you don't help, you don't help, if you I made me anxious, I'll eat you!" After finishing speaking, she opened her mouth to reveal a pair of sharp little teeth, making Li Suya back away in fright!She clutched her chest and said, "What's the matter with you? You were weird all the way from the capital, and I didn't offend you. Besides, you didn't tell me what happened last night, and you didn't talk to you." If you act like this again, I can't keep you anymore."

Chu Binger trembled all over, her eyes almost shed tears in anger, this heartless person!She turned around and looked at Li Suya and said, "Who wants you to stay, don't be so sentimental, you...you get out of here, I don't want to see you." After finishing speaking, she put the things on the bed Throw them all at that nasty guy.After dodging a few pillows, Li Suya said helplessly, "What a crazy woman, if I don't help, I won't help, and I will ignore you." After speaking, she opened the door and left. She was also a little angry, leaving Chu Binger behind. The poor little female ghost 'roared' alone in the house.

After Li Suya avoided Chu Binger, she suddenly realized that she had no place to go, so she had to go for a walk on the street. She is wearing men's clothes now, and she is very handsome, so some Yingying and Yanyan from those brothels are all there. Before talking to them, Li Suya managed to avoid them, but she saw a figure in the crowd. The figure looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, but disappeared in a flash.
