This year's monsters are super fierce [75]

Waiting for Ren Xian to enter the White Building first, Zhan Zhao turned his head and glanced at the way he came. There was no one else turning at this corner for the time being.

That means that Ren Xian was terrified of seeing the four of them, more precisely because of Qin Ning or Mu Yu.But looking back at Qin Ning and Mu Yu, they don't seem to know Ren Xian, what relationship can there be between the three?

"There must be something strange about this matter. You'd better try to take care of the teahouse and carpenter's shop during this time. It's Mahan's patrol area, I'll ask him to pay attention."

After dinner, two or two broke up at the gate of the white building.

Zhan Zhao sent Yan Buzhou back to the flower shop, and only then mentioned the previous discovery.

"Although I am not familiar with Ren Xian, I have heard that Ren Xian is not a friendly person. Ren Xian was just transferred from the local labor department last year. He has been working in the north for more than 20 years, and Qin Ning should have no intersection.

If there is any weirdness among them, it should probably be Mu Yu.I'll go and check Ren Xian's experience carefully again, do you think we should talk to Qin Ning first? "

Just based on the terrified look in Ren Xian's eyes, it is suspected that he has something to do with Mu Yu, and it will not be a good thing.

Does Mu Yu seem to be ignorant of this matter, or is he deliberately concealing it? Will this concealment affect Qin Ning?Thinking more deeply, does he want to use Qin Ning to do anything?

Since we are friends, it is inevitable that we should worry a little bit more.

I can't trust Zhan Zhao's judgment, but I still have to weigh how to explain it to Qin Ning.Language is an art, she has to brew it.

"I understand what you mean. I'm afraid that Ren Xian will be unfavorable to Mu Yu and hurt Qin Ning. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the teahouse. This matter must be discussed, and it is better for them to prepare early."

Sometimes it's better to talk things out.

Mu Yu still confessed to Qin Ning that before he was 20 years old, he made a lot of lethal hidden weapons for sale.But after burying his former teacher, he had washed his hands for five or six years, and he no longer participated in those beatings and killings.

As for Ren Xian, he has never seen such a character.

At most, the hidden weapons that were produced have changed hands several times and met with Ren Xian, but he is not responsible for the products coming out of the cabinet. What happens to the hidden weapons has nothing to do with the maker.

If only facing the hidden weapon maker, does Ren Xian need to be frightened?He is not a cowardly person.

Zhan Zhao secretly investigated Ren Xian's resume, and compared his places of employment over the years with those of Mu Yu, there was basically no overlap.

If there is a connection between the two, it was 26 years ago when Ren Xian went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and Mu Yu was picked up by his master in the suburbs of Beijing as an abandoned baby.Reluctantly, they passed by in Bianjing.

Somewhat unexpectedly, almost a month passed smoothly, without any brain-filling bridges such as intercepting and killing.

On August [-]th, the full moon will be full.

When the sun was setting and the four were together, Yan Buzhou went from the backyard to the front hall, lighting candles for the flower shop all the way.

As soon as she stepped out of the store's threshold, she smelled a demonic aura coming towards her, accompanied by a mouth-watering aroma of roasted chicken.

Looking up, he was immediately stunned.

A young man in his 25s stood still in front of the store, and his appearance was upright, with a slightly cold look.

As soon as he saw Yan Buzhou, he raised two bamboo baskets slightly, smiled half-primarily and half-stupidly and said, "My lord, I finally found you. Two baskets of roast chickens, let's talk about my heart. Please You accept it."

At the end, the man murmured in a low voice, "Is that what you said in the scene?"

These words directly broke the man's originally slightly indifferent expression, he looked like a country fox entering the city, and it was difficult to hide his embarrassment.

Country fox, this name is correct.

I have never seen a vixen, but have I ever seen a real fox.

There is a trace of body odor mixed with the demonic aura of this person in front of him.Thinking about it, he has just transformed into a human form not long ago, and he is quite unfamiliar with breathing.

At the moment, he didn't bother to ask the vixen first, who asked him to come to the flower shop, and who offered to deliver roast chicken to his door.

Yan Buzhou was slightly taken aback, because the person in front of him looked exactly the same as Mu Yu, there were still some differences, he was a little shorter than Mu Yu.

In the past half a month, I learned a lot about Mu Yu's past. He has never had any contact with monsters.

"Who are you? What's your name?" Yan Buzhou pointed at his face, "Why did you choose this shape?"

Without waiting for an answer, Yan Buzhou first thought of the rumors of skeleton foxes appearing in the southern suburbs. Some monsters take whatever shape they want, while others cannot escape a limited range.

"My name is Hu Dahua. The flower of Honghua."

Hu Dahua was looked at nervously, facing Yan Buzhou as if there was a sense of oppression hanging over his head, so he couldn't help taking half a step back.He touched his head again to make sure that the two fox ears were not protruding, and then he took a few breaths. "Ah! By the way, the original owner of this face is Ren Xian, and I will fulfill his unfulfilled wish on his behalf."

"Ren Xian? Appointed Ren, virtuous Xian?"

Seeing Hu Dahua nodding her head vigorously, she felt a little bit in her heart, and swallowed back her complaints about why she didn't call Hu Tiehua. "Come in. Long story short, how did Ren Xian die and how long has he been dead?"

Hu Dahua still couldn't hide his embarrassment, and was instinctively scared, afraid that if he entered the flower shop, he, the goblin, would be rounded up and flattened and fled.

"What are you afraid of? You have come here, and you still haven't explained the matter clearly?"

Yan Buzhou looked at the hesitant Hu Dahua, "Could it be that the monster who introduced you here, is it scary to repeat me so much?"

"Senior Bi only said that you have great powers and are a good official who does practical things for monsters."

Hu Dahua shook his head violently, directly reporting that he was introduced.It turned out that after Bi Huanhuan left Xiangxi, he tricked a little vixen in the countryside of a certain county.

The little vixen has been enlightened for more than ten years, but has been living alone in the deep mountains and old forests. Later, he sniffed the hunter's barbecue in the wild, and was lured out of the mountain to the county town by greedy worms.

As a fledgling, Hu Dahua found that the outside world was different from what he had imagined. It was not possible to steal roast chicken and duck by relying on illusion alone.

He didn't dare to commit crimes in the same place multiple times, for fear of causing people to round up. After meeting Bi Huanhuan, he was pointed out a bright way.

He might as well devote himself to cultivation and use the talent of the skeleton fox to transform into a human form.Although there is a time limit for each transformation, firstly, it can avenge the grievances of the dead to accumulate merit, and secondly, it can also use the human body to make money to buy roast chicken dignifiedly.

Yan Buzhou heard what Hu Dahua said, and Bi Huanhuan taught the monster a set of rhetoric, and he hardly looked like the unreliable Bi Fang. "So, Bi Huanhuan pointed out a way for you to get lost in Bianjing's flower shop if you have difficulty."

"Yes."

Hu Dahua explained that this was his second time to transform into a human body. The first time he tried it two months ago, it only lasted for ten days.Because the resentment of that corpse is shallow, it is good to just want to be buried in the ground for peace. "It's different this time. I think it can last for a year and a half, because Ren Xian has obsession."

Yan Buzhou hooked his fingers, and asked Hu Dahua to enter the store again and said, "Come in and talk. If you are nervous, you can talk while eating roast chicken."

Roast chicken for me?

Hu Dahua had a look of surprise but disbelief.

He has been in Bianjing for a month now, and he has been working part-time to raise money, only to buy gifts before he dared to come to ask for work, but he also heard from time to time that Mr. Bao in Kaifeng Mansion is fair and honest.

Sometimes I think, maybe it is not like Bi Huanhuan's advice, you have to bring some benefits to the door before you can ask Bu Zhou to do things.When I saw it today, I really met a good official who is not greedy for roast chicken.

Yan Buzhou turned his head to the side, and couldn't bear to look directly at Hu Dahua's starry eyes, wondering how much he liked the two baskets of roast chicken.

Hu Dahua quickly took out the hand sanitizer, cleaned her hands a little, and started talking while eating.

"Ren Xian entered a black shop by mistake in 25 and died in a brawl. Over the years, he has been dying in peace. He misses his wife and children very much. I don't know if they escaped."

26 years ago, Ren Xian went to Beijing to rush for the exam. Because he had no relatives in his hometown, he only brought his pregnant wife along to Beijing slowly.Seeing that it was almost time to arrive in the capital, her wife gave birth half a month earlier than the expected date, so she stayed in a wild shop for the night.

That night, it was all evil.

Ren Xian's wife had just given birth to a son, so she realized that there was something wrong with the Yedian. Who would have thought that they encountered two groups of thieves, and more than a dozen people fought here because of the uneven distribution of spoils.

There are only three residents of Ren Xian's family in the wild store. The thieves are jealous, so it doesn't matter whether they are innocent or not, and they want to silence all outsiders who have witnessed everything.

At that time, Emperor Zhenzong had just ascended the throne, and the law and order in Kaifeng Prefecture was far from safe as it is now.

Moreover, people's lives at that time were not richer than they are today. If only one less person knew where the treasure was, that would be a little more wealth.

"Ren Xian's family suffered an innocent disaster. He hugged the child and took his wife to flee desperately. Halfway through, he gave his son to his wife to lure away the thieves behind him. That farewell was a farewell forever. Ren Xian died in a man named Hou. In the hands of the tyrant, he was thrown into a mass grave in the wild forest."

Hu Dahua spat out a chicken bone and continued, "He has been obsessed over the years, and asked me to find his wife and children. His wife is not easy to find. He only said what she looks like, which is quite ordinary and nothing special. His son has There is a characteristic, there is a round tire at the left ankle joint."

In the vast sea of ​​people, this kind of search for people can be described as finding a needle in a haystack.

However, fate has its own mysteries, and sometimes it takes no effort to get it after going around.

Yan Buzhou felt that there was a high possibility that Mu Yu was the son of Zhen Renxian, and his age and appearance were both right.

The reason for distinguishing Ren Xian from the real and the fake is that it is very likely that the minister of the Ministry of Industry took the place of Li Zhuang and pretended to be Ren Xian.

Hu Dahua didn't wait for Bu Zhou to say anything, he continued hesitantly, "This matter is difficult to handle, but I may have an idea, so I just ask Master Yan to help."

"Have you bumped into someone who looks exactly like your current incarnation?"

Yan Buzhou thought that Hu Dahua had bumped into Mu Yu, but unexpectedly he shook his head.

"No, I ran into that thief."

Hu Dahua said that half an hour ago, he was buying a roast chicken with the wages he had just paid.Hesitating in his heart whether to go all out and buy roast chicken with the rest of the money to find Yan Buzhou, he met a man with an ugly face on the way.

It was the servant of the Ministry of Industry who pretended to be Ren Xian who froze at the turning, and almost bumped into Hu Dahua who was thinking about the problem and didn't pay attention.

"At that time, before I could say anything, I heard him whisper, why is there another one?"

Hu Dahua didn't think much about it at first, and had already passed by the fake Ren Xian, but he saw a scar behind his ear from the corner of his eye. "This immediately aroused my vigilance. Ren Xian didn't ask me to seek revenge from the culprit, he only wanted his wife and children to live in peace, but he also mentioned some characteristics of Hou Ba."

More than 20 years ago, Hou Ba was lean and very similar to Ren Xian in terms of figure and face shape. Both of them had slightly straight faces.

In the blink of an eye, 25 or [-] years later, the man Hu Dahua met had a fat head and a round waist, fattened by years of pig feed to the point of being out of control.

"The only characteristic has not changed. Ren Xian remembers clearly that the person who killed him had a scar on the back of his right ear. If the wound was deeper, the entire ear would be cut off."

Hu Dahua said that he was suddenly suspicious and subconsciously tried to test it out. He didn't need to do anything else, but only gently revealed the original name of the impostor.

"I called Hou Ba. He seemed to have been struck by lightning, but he reacted quickly and wanted to leave as if nothing had happened. If so, I will use the illusion all of a sudden."

Yan Buzhou stood up when he heard this, "Have you used illusion? Why did you wait until the end to say such a crucial matter. That fake Ren Xian is Hou Ba, didn't you kill him?"

Even if there is more than enough guilt to die, it is best to wait for a thorough investigation.

Hu Dahua immediately shook his head, "No, he didn't die. I just wanted to scare him and make him confess. He seemed to be possessed, immersed in some hallucination, and ran away like a madman. The evil spirits are chasing him.

I saw him being caught by the police from Xunjie, and it sounded like he was going to be sent to Kaifeng mansion first.Master Yan, I really didn't mean to make him crazy, thinking about how many evils he has committed, it doesn't matter what he does.To get rid of this technique, I'm afraid you will have to go to Kaifeng Mansion once and give me some good words, I'm such a good vixen. "

"Let's go together."

Yan Buzhou sighed slightly, of course Hu Dahua is not a bad vixen, but he is afraid of being influenced by Bi Huanhuan in terms of priorities, so he needs to be corrected.

Everyone else in the shop is on holiday today, so it looks like they will close earlier, and maybe they have to stay up late at night to find out about Hou Ba's impostor case.

Kaifeng House.

Bao Zheng really didn't expect that the minister of the Ministry of Industry would be tied in like a demon.

For a while Hou Ba told the evil spirits to go away and stop pestering him, and for a while he blew himself up that he was able to kill everyone ruthlessly back then, so he wasn't afraid to kill a few more people who got in the way.

It turned out that Hou Ba was originally a member of the tomb robbers, who had been active in the south for a long time and was responsible for selling stolen goods.He didn't go to the cemetery, and he was very knowledgeable. He said that if he took the imperial examination, he could be a juror.

In the year when he met Ren Xian, Hou Ba's tomb raiding team discovered a batch of relics of his predecessors, enough for seven or eight of them to enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of their lives.There is not enough people, from seeking a small fortune to develop and want to monopolize it all, there is that wild shop chaos.

Hou Ba understood that Ren Xian only had a wife and children, and his family was far to the south, so no one cared about him anymore.It was a plan made out of the heart, wanting to abandon the past identity and simply replace it with Ren Xian.

That can completely clear the identity of the tomb robber, and take the money alone without fear of being found out again.Perhaps, to be able to pass the Jinshi examination smoothly, it is a complete makeover and start from scratch.

Such a bold plan sounds absurd, but Hou Ba made it happen.

He killed Ren Xian first, and then found the body of Ren Xian's wife by the small river. As for where the baby in the swaddle went, he probably disappeared with the water.

At that time, Hou Ba also considered the risk of impersonation, but he was used to walking on the single-plank bridge, so he gave it a go.

He chose Bianjing, which is the most dangerous and safest place to live in, secretly placed treasures, and used a skill of make-up to paint himself similar to Ren Xian.Deciding to change slowly, eating more in the future, and getting fatter can dispel people's doubts about his change.

Yan Buzhou brought Hu Dahua to Kaifeng mansion, it was a bit late.

Hou Ba fell into an illusion that the vixen himself couldn't undo, and he explained it intermittently.

Hearing what Hou Bayue said, he shouted even louder, "Don't scare me, you ghosts. I was able to kill you back then, and I'm not afraid now! Who can hide the truth like me, you idiots can't beat me! Come again! , and crush you to ashes."

Gongsun Ce recorded all of Hou Ba's crazy words, and these cannot be used as testimony for the time being, but if they are verified one by one, Hou Ba's crime should be fully confirmed.

When he saw Yan Buzhou coming, he couldn't help showing a wry smile.There are many absurd things in the world. Thinking about how hard it was for him to pass the Jinshi exam after losing his reputation several times, Hou Ba and other people who kill people, steal goods and impostors pass the exam.

"Mr. Gongsun might as well smile a little more. The Skynet is fully laid out and not leaked. Even though Hou Ba has been cheating for more than 20 years, and he can still stand still after seeing Mu Yu a month ago, the debt that should be collected will have to be paid back sooner or later."

Yan Buzhou glanced at the records briefly, and one or two of them caught her attention.

Hou Ba mentioned that the treasures of the tomb robbers had been discovered, which were left by the painters.That is, the tomb robber who participated in the excavation of the ancient tomb of the remnant snake demon in central Shu and left six maps in the tomb in the outer suburbs of Bianjing.

In Xiangxi, the relevant list of the stolen objects from the ancient tomb could not be found, but they were sent to the hands at this time.

It turned out that the old tomb robber knew some self-protection spells, and carried a large amount of treasures to escape the possession of the remnant snake demon first, and all the treasures he left were taken away by Hou Ba.

In the past 20 years, how many utensils Hou Ba sold, or how many utensils were left behind, he has recorded them in a book.It was in a state of madness, and he revealed that he had hidden the booklet in the bedroom compartment.

At this point, the last link has also been added.

Yan Buzhou just waited to get the brochure, and searched for the artifacts in the tomb that might be weird in a targeted manner, and tried his best to prevent anyone like Sun Changxi's family from suffering from bad luck.

The moon sinks and the sky turns white, and the sun rises on August [-]th.

In the past night, Bao Zheng rushed into the palace to report this extremely bad case to Zhao Zhen.

After the decision of Dali Temple of the Criminal Ministry and others, Hou Ba's house was searched overnight.Sure enough, according to the records, three darkrooms were found, and no less than a hundred boxes of corresponding stolen goods were seized.

Zhan Zhao took people to the small woods in the southern suburbs, and in addition to recovering Ren Xian's body, he also found several broken and incomplete bones.According to the things they wore, one or two corpses were identified, just as Hou Ba described them as members of his tomb robbery group.

As for the stubborn Hou Ba, why did he choose to tell the truth?

Last night, Yan Buzhou chose to dispel the illusion slowly, but there is no need to mention the torture of people with blunt knives.

This will ring the morning bell.

The weird-smelling objects confiscated from Hou Ba's residence were temporarily sealed up in the Huangfu by Yan Buzhou and Zhan Zhao.

The two of them left the breakfast stand, after a night of running around and had warm porridge, they inevitably felt drowsy, and they should go home to catch up on sleep after a little digestion.

However, Zhan Zhao went to the Huangfu on the diagonal, "Ah Yan, can we go to Huangfu again."

"What's the matter?" The words were unclear, so the barren mansion hadn't been repaired, and they couldn't catch up on sleep here.

"Yes. Go in first, shall we?"

Zhan Zhao looked relaxed, tried his best to restrain his nervousness, and didn't pat and caress his chest.He was having dinner with Zhao Zhen in the palace last night, but the emperor invited him to talk about the marriage, saying that it is a good thing to be an adult on August [-]th.

Yan Buzhou thought about it and nodded, it was only a few steps away, just go in and talk.

Re-entering the Huangfu, the place is almost dilapidated from the time of the first arrival three years ago.

However, there is a bit more vitality in the house.

The crooked neck at the entrance of the courtyard lobby was originally scorched and dying, but now it has grown a lot of new shoots and shoots, and maybe it will be green in a few years.

Zhan Zhao led Yan Buzhou around for a while, and finally stood in front of the lobby, looking at the ancient mirror hanging high inside.

Gu Jing, as always, seemed to be asleep, but he was able to witness the red dust of the three thousand worlds in ancient and modern times.

"Ah Yan, you have also visited my parents and master, and I have also met Senior Gu Jing. The furniture in our new house is all properly arranged, and we have chosen it according to your preferences. If you want to add or change anything, please do so immediately. can do it.

Now that we have met the elders, hugged them, and kissed them, it is time for us to settle the marriage.Are you willing to give me a title and marry me? "

Zhan Zhao seemed to be speaking very naturally, took out a cloth bag from his bosom, opened it and found a golden hairpin.The tail of the hairpin is chiseled and engraved with mountains and mist, which is unique, and it just corresponds to the implication of Buzhou Shenshan. "Can I help you put it on?"

The Yuefu poem goes: Why do you get married, and the gold thin painting scratches your head.

A golden hairpin will make a promise for the two to spend the rest of their lives together.

"you……"

Yan Buzhou almost pinched herself secretly. Although she was not too surprised to hear about the marriage proposal, she was not too sleepy. Zhan Zhao said that she had met her parents a long time ago.

At the moment, Yan Buzhou couldn't help being stunned. Dull Mao had to change his name to Black-bellied Cat, which confirmed his long-planned intention.

"It was a year and a half ago that we went to Changzhou to pay respects. Zhan Zhaozhao, you are really far-sighted. Didn't you just think about today?"

Zhan Zhao nodded slowly and still admitted, "I told my parents and master from the beginning. Zhou Zhou, I have always been serious."

Just like this golden hairpin, Zhan Zhao prepared for it when he was recovering from his injury early last year.

In addition to investigating the case of the hairpin head phoenix, I asked the master of the Baobao Pavilion how to make it.For more than a year, he repeatedly polished for a long time and finally got a satisfactory one.

Yan Buzhou understood that the golden hairpin was made by Zhan Zhao himself, and he raised his eyes to meet his expectant and nervous eyes, and couldn't help laughing. "I think you are so serious, how can I not allow it. Remember, you will be mine from now on, and I allow you to choose a good thing that will be auspicious and successful."

Yan Buzhou lowered his head slightly, and asked Zhan Zhao to gently put the golden hairpin on her.

Zhan Zhao touched Yan Buzhou's hair with a smile, the golden hairpin he carved really matched his Zhou Zhou best. "Zhou Zhou, I've checked. There is a wedding day at the end of November. You have three months to prepare, so don't worry."

"Zhan Zhaozhao, pay attention to your wording. Who is in a hurry? It's you."

Yan Buzhou didn't admit that he really wanted to masturbate Zhanmao thoroughly, and some wanted to urge Zhao Zhen to stop talking, and quickly make a marriage proposal, and hand over the other house that was agreed upon.In this way, if you get married in November, there will be a beautiful garden for honeymoon.

"Okay, I'm in a hurry."

Zhan Zhao didn't refute, and Yu Yan Buzhou slowly walked out of the deserted mansion.Compared with the imperial decree coming tomorrow, it is more important for him to ask for marriage in person first.

Walking along the way, the two watched Bianjing City wake up in the morning light, shops opened one after another, and there were more and more pedestrians on the street.

Zhan Zhao sent the message back to the flower shop without getting lost, but the two found that the shop that was supposed to be open was only half open, and vaguely heard noises coming from inside.

what happened?

The two looked at each other and opened the door to enter, only to find Ying Wangdong standing at the entrance of the backyard, where there was a pig demon chasing a vixen fiercely.

The two ran around the flowers and trees, chasing and fleeing without stopping.

"Fox spirit, stop for me.explain!Could it be that you seduced my guy and made him neglect me for a month. 』

"I'm wronged, I'm male, and how could I seduce the pig demon? 』

"Ah bah, you look down on pig demons?Don't quibble, I smell like a fox on him, and he hasn't come home at night for most of the month, occasionally took a nap, and was still muttering about going to the flower shop.You cannot escape suspicion. 』

"I said it, but when I met him by chance in the wild forest, I frightened him, and we had a fight. 』

"Okay, you admit that you elves fought—"

Ying Wangdong translated it verbatim, and said in a low voice that a pig demon came to settle accounts with the fox spirit early in the morning.

"This pig demon is called Li Shui, and she is the daughter-in-law of the melon thief Li Shan. She started a fight with Hu Dahua as soon as she came to the door this morning, chasing after the human form to the original form. No wonder I didn't persuade the fight, I didn't have time to talk about Li Shan stealing melons .

Thinking about that pig demon who ate all the melons behind his wife's back, how could he dare to expose his negligence, so he went to the orchard every night to beg me for an antidote.I asked Li Shan to accept the renovation of the barren mansion, and asked him to come to the flower shop to find me after all the preparations. "

Ying Wangdong shook his head when he said this, and his tone was even more innocent, "Who would have thought that Hu Dahua was borrowed from the flower shop last night, so he was caught by Li Shui by mistake. This matter is due to Li Shan's lack of honesty. The flowers and plants must be compensated by the two raccoons.": What a pity for the flowers and plants?

Yan Buzhou looked carefully, the flowers and plants in the yard have been replaced.

These are all things to be chopped for firewood and used as fuel for the kitchen. It is clear that Ying Wangdong watched the fun with malicious intent.

In the yard, there are two monsters who are chasing and fleeing, and there are monsters watching with relish.

Zhan Zhao lightly touched Bu Zhou's face, and he could foresee that there would be no less fun in the future. "Ayan, when did you say that the pig that caused the accident appeared?"

"Not today, but tomorrow."

He said indistinctly.No matter what day it is, where can I find reliable monsters?
