The door squeaked, and a middle-aged man with a gentle face stepped out from inside, dressed in brown straight, stepped forward and bowed: "The villain is Zhao Zhongbo, let Lord Yang wait for a long time." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Zhao Zhongbo, the younger brother of the patriarch Zhao Kangbo, two brothers, but only one son, no wonder he was named Tianci.

Yang Xueshi stepped forward to salute: "Old man, don't be polite, I also have something to worry about the patriarch, so I came here to pay a visit." ”

Zhao Ran squinted at him, and snickered in his heart: "I don't know who said such hard words, and his waist weakened so quickly." ”

Thinking about the word "soft waist", he couldn't help but glance at Yang Xueshi's straight and narrow waist again, and a feeling of heat rose in his heart, and he quickly turned his head.

Zhao Zhongbo glanced at the old woman behind Yang Xueshi and asked, "This is ......?"

Yang Xueshi said: "This is a psychic old woman I met in office, who has a good reputation in the local area, originally entrusted by a friend, to take her to Beijing to solve another matter, and now passing by the fishing village, I heard that there are some strange things here, so I asked her to come over and see, and please don't blame the old gentleman." ”

Zhao Zhongbo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said continuously: "Don't blame, don't blame! Lord Yang This is a good intention, how can I blame you, please." ”

As soon as he asked, the two gates opened, and Zhao Zhongbo welcomed them in.

After the main gate of the hard hilltop of the roll shed, it is a wordless shadow wall, and the right hand is the full moon cave door, it can be seen that the sedan chair drivers are carrying the soft sedan chair through the door next to it, Ji Niang lowered her head and followed the sedan chair driver, and Zhao Ran turned her head to take a look, and did not call her over.

Zhao Zhongbo welcomed them into a side hall on the left side to wait, and he hurriedly passed through the second gate of the hanging flowers, obviously going to the inner mansion to report to the patriarch of the Zhao clan.

Zhao Ran sat in the hall and poked his head to look around, and said in his mouth: "This Zhao family is not obvious to the mountains and water, but it is a rich family, you see that the side hall of an outer courtyard is all lacquered." ”

Yang Xueshi looked at his eyes, looked at his nose, ignored him, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and Yang Xueshi got up to greet him.

Zhaoran snorted at his back, thinking about the snobbery of this sour show.

A middle-aged man came in outside the door, with thick eyebrows and a square face, quite powerful, it seemed that it was Zhao Kangbo, the patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhongbo saw Yang Xueshi and hurriedly pointed at Zhao Ran and said: "This is Lord Yang, and that is the spirit woman he brought who can be psychic." ”

Zhao Kangbo said lightly: "It's just that the wind evil has entered the body, how can you believe in these non-existent things?"

Zhao Zhongbo was a little stunned, and Yang Xueshi stepped forward to salute: "Patriarch Zhao." ”

Zhao Kangbo returned the salute and said: "Recently, my family has been seriously ill, and I didn't come out to see Lord Yang immediately, so don't be surprised." ”

"The patriarch is polite. ”

－－－－

After a few people sat down, a maid came up with tea, and Yang Xueshi said with a slightly concerned expression: "I don't know what diseases your family members are suffering from, but I know a few good doctors." ”

"It's a child's gift, and I occasionally feel cold, and I take the wrong medicine, so it seems a little serious

。 Zhao Kangbo's words were polite and detached, but before he finished speaking, a young man rushed in the courtyard, he was handsome, but his eyes were blue, his face was distorted, and as soon as he rushed in, he shouted: "Where is the Lingpo, where is the Lingpo?"

Then from outside the hall, a bunch of mothers-in-law and maids came up, and they shouted one after another: "Young master, young master, go back to us." ”

Seeing this, he smiled and waved his handkerchief at the young man: "The slave family is here!"

The man immediately grabbed Zhaoran's hand and shouted, "Lingpo, quick, quickly exorcise ghosts for me!"

Zhao Kangbo said with a deep face: "God, what do you look like, don't you get out of here!"

Zhao Tianci turned a deaf ear and just grabbed Zhaoran's hand and widened his eyes: "Drive the ghost away for me, how much money you want, our family will give it!"

Zhao Zhongbo's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he stepped forward to grab Zhao Tianci and said, "Tianci, wait for the patriarch to finish talking to Lord Yang first." ”

Zhao Ran raised a hand and drew a talisman on Zhao Tianci's forehead: "This talisman can make ghosts unable to get close to you temporarily." “

Zhao Tianci's body shook, as if he had a breath and slowly fell backwards, Yahuan's mother-in-law was so anxious that she pounced, Zhao Kangbo's face also showed a trace of concern, Zhao Zhongbo was even more anxious like an ant in a hot pot, helped Zhao Tianci and turned his face and asked: "You, what kind of talisman did you draw for Tianci?"

As soon as his words fell, Zhao Tianci woke up in everyone's arms, and said weakly: "Second uncle." ”

Zhao Zhongbo said with surprise and joy: "God's gift, what do you think?"

Zhao Tianci snorted twice, as if he was still a little like a frightened bird, he looked around for a while before saying: "Second, second uncle, the ghost is gone, he is finally gone!"

Zhao Zhongbo breathed a sigh of relief before he said, "Send the young master down to rest." ”

When the group of people left in a hurry, Zhao Kangbo asked people to serve tea again, and they were much more polite between their words.

"Where is Lingpo from?" Zhao Kangbo asked politely.

"Guangxi people. Yang Xueshi replied.

"Oh, it sounds like someone from the north. ”

"When I was young, because I could see ghosts and gods, I often made my family uneasy, and later a famous monk gave me a talisman, and said that I need to marry thousands of miles away in the coming day to keep a safe life. Coincidentally, in the year of the slave family and the slave family, there was a scholar who came from the Fujiang River on the boat, and a scholar accidentally saw the slave family, and he never forgot the slave family, so he got off the boat and asked to marry the slave family, and my parents remembered the words of the monk, so they married the slave family to the scholar. ”

As he spoke, he picked up the handkerchief and was shy, Yang Xueshi couldn't help but glance at him, and said abruptly: "Who knew that it was a short-lived ghost, who never left a son and a half daughter for the slave family, and also caused the slave family to guard a grave for many years and earn food by themselves." Later, I met this adult who said that he had something to ask for the slave family, and the slave family also wanted to return north, so he agreed. ”

Zhao Kangbo was a little more polite: "Madame has been able to observe the festival for her deceased husband for many years, and now that the leaves have returned to her roots, presumably the deceased in the underground will know about it and will forgive Madame." ”

Zhao Zhongbo said: "I don't know if your wife is willing to sell the monk's talisman to my house, as long as your wife makes a price, we will definitely think of raising it." ”

Zhaoran shook his head: "This talisman can't be sold to you." ”

Zhao Zhongbo's face couldn't help but show disappointment: "Why is this?"

Zhao Kangbo said lightly: "Second brother, how can such a talisman be easily revealed? Don't be embarrassed for the old lady."

。 ”

Zhao Ran said: "It's not that I'm reluctant to give up this talisman, but that this talisman can't cure the illness of the young master of your mansion." ”

Zhao Zhongbo hurriedly said: "Is it possible that you have to travel thousands of miles from heaven?"

Zhao Ran shook his head again: "No, this talisman is especially like a pure heart talisman, if the heart is clear, the ghosts and gods will not be confused, and naturally the vision in front of them will be dispersed, but if this root cannot be found, I am afraid that this ghost will go and come back sooner or later, and it will be useless." ”

"This ......" Zhao Zhongbo couldn't help but look at Zhao Kangbo.

Zhao Kangbo said: "I understand, Lord Yang is probably also here for this case, our Zhao family has nothing to say to people, the ins and outs of this matter have been clearly figured out back then, nothing can be said to people, Uncle Zhong, you go and find all the people involved in the case back then." ”

He got up and saluted: "Let my brother accompany me for the rest, I still have some important things, so I won't accompany the two more." ”

Yang Xueshi hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

After Zhao Kangbo finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Zhao Zhongbo said: "Wait a minute, I will go and find several witnesses when Zhao Jing committed the crime." ”

"Wait, I heard that Zhao Jing's body is still there, I don't know if it's buried?" asked Zhaoran.

Zhao Zhongbo said with a gloomy face: "Originally, we were going to bury him, although he did something unseemly, but he finally entered Dangyu Village, and his surname was Zhao." But Zhao Jing's sister was not noisy and talking nonsense, and it was inconvenient for us to bury him, so as not to be investigated and talked about in the future, so we had to store his body in the ancestral hall first. ”

"Can you let me wait and take a look?" Yang Xueshi understood what Zhao Ran meant and said.

Zhao Zhongbo said: "Why not, you two come with me." ”

Zhao Ran and Yang Xueshi followed Zhao Zhongbo out of the gate of Zhao Mansion again, Zhao Ran saw the silver-haired old man waiting at the door with two rough servants, and saw that these three were the gatekeepers of Zhao Mansion, presumably because Zhao Mansion often came to some distinguished guests, in order to prevent the doorman from offending nobles because the porter did not know the person, so he specially placed such a literate old man.

They came out of the side hall, and Ji Niang at the end of the sedan room looked through the full moon flower door, and when she saw Zhao Zhongbo, she hurriedly shrank back in fright.

"Xiangli, you go and find a few other witnesses in Zhao Jing's case back then, and Lord Yang has something to ask them later. Zhao Zhongbo commanded the old man.

waited until he went out to ask Zhaoran, "That silver-haired old man is also a witness?"

Zhao Zhongbo nodded and said, "Not bad...... How did the old lady find out?" he asked after a pause.

Zhaoran raised his hand and touched Xia Hua next to his forehead and said embarrassedly: "I have this psychic ability when I was a child, as long as I look at everything twice, it seems that I can understand it." ”

Zhao Zhongbo's eyes couldn't help but show a look of awe: "The old lady's ability is really amazing." ”

－－－－

In front of the door of the Zhao Mansion is a grain drying field, through this grain drying field, walking up is the ancestral hall of the Zhao family.

Taking advantage of Zhao Zhongbo's efforts to step forward and knock on the door, Yang Xueshi leaned closer and said, "I'm afraid you heard the word "other" in Zhao Zhongbo's words, and then you thought that Zhao Xiangli was also one of the witnesses

He came closer to talk like this, and the heat sprayed onto Zhaoran's ear, and Zhaoran instantly felt that it was itching from the earlobe to his heart, and when he looked sideways, Yang Xueshi's side was really like Jiuru, and he seemed to be expecting him to say so many more words.

Yang Xueshi really said one more sentence: "It's just that what's going on with your talisman?"

"Guess?" said Zhaoran, tickling his heart.

Yang Xueshi said suspiciously: "Do you really know how to draw talismans to exorcise ghosts?"

"Yes...... "Zhao Ran smiled leisurely as he looked at his fingers, "but it's the first time I've learned today that I can draw exorcismal talismans." ”

Yang Xueshi's brows jumped: "You, you won't?"

"I can't be a real ghost, but I'm the best at driving away pretends. Zhao Ran touched the summer flower on his head as he spoke, and walked towards the Zhao ancestral hall upside down.

Yang Xueshi glanced at Zhao Ran's coquettish twist and swing, lowered his head to follow, and when he got closer, he only heard Zhao Ran touch the door of the ancestral hall and said: "Uncle Zhao, the gate of your ancestral hall can not be repaired!" (Note: dialect, no shame)

Zhao Zhongbo said with a smile: "The ancestral hall is the foundation of a clan, and it is inevitable that it will be repaired with care, which makes the old lady smile." ”

These two gates are very thickly repaired, and they are indeed very stylish, but the gate of Zhao's mansion is not bad, Zhaoran does not boast about the gate of other people's ancestral halls, and he came to praise the gate of people's ancestral halls, Yang Xueshi couldn't help but take a deep breath, but when he stepped into the gate, he still couldn't help but glance at the place where Zhaoran had just touched, and saw that there were a few staggered marks on the door, like scratches, and the breath he inhaled suddenly stopped, and he coughed a few times.

Zhao Ran patted him behind his back and said flatteringly: "Lord Yang, but you accidentally inhaled the cool air?"

He saw that he was patting Yang Xueshi's back, but the palm of his hand was actually patting his waist, Yang Xueshi knew that he was deliberately teasing, but it was inconvenient to open his mouth and scold him on the spot, so he had to be dumb, and a trace of blush flashed on his face.

"Please come with me, both of you. Zhao Zhongbo took the key, led them through the courtyard, and saw that there were many tablets in the main wing room behind, so he asked: "The people who are enshrined here are all members of the Zhao family." ”

"They are all descendants of the Zhao family. Zhao Zhongbo sighed, "The heirs of our clan are thin, my father only has me and my eldest brother's two sons, and our generation is the only son of God. ”

Zhao Ran nodded, Zhao Zhongbo pointed to the room on the side and said, "Zhao Jing's body is temporarily stored here." ”

As he spoke, he used the key to open the door, and there was a coffin parked in the center of the room, and he asked Mingran: "Zhao Jing is in this coffin." ”

"Exactly. Zhao Zhongbo said, "This is what the patriarch meant, and we can't see him in the wilderness after all." At first, I took them in because they were lonely, and I never thought that he was such a person......" He said this, as if he was sad and angry.

The room sits south and faces north, the light is cloudy, even in broad daylight, it is a little unclear, Zhao Zhongbo asked people to pick a lantern over, and ordered someone to open the coffin, Zhaoran looked into the coffin through the lantern, and when he saw the face of the person in the coffin clearly, his hands and feet were cold for a while.

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Xueshi couldn't help but ask when she saw him, her body trembled slightly.

Zhao Ran didn't answer him, but took a step forward, the person in the coffin had a sallow and thin face, but it was indeed Jiuru's face

For a moment, he only felt that the blood all over his body was surging up on his head, and he just wanted to find someone to fight.

"Lingpo...... But what do you feel?" Zhao Zhongbo couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Ran stood up straight from the coffin, looked around, wondered if he was in a gloomy world, Zhao Ran closed his eyes slightly, and a strong sense of crisis came to his face, but he didn't know what was wrong.

He turned around and walked towards the door, and when he walked out of the door, he raised his face to face the sun, and the warm sun seemed to dispel a little of the cold on his body, and it was clear that he could regain his senses, Jiuru could not die so silently, but ......

Zhao Ran looked up at the gate of the Zhao Mansion in the distance, no matter who killed Zhao Jing, even if he was just a symbol of Jiuru, a substitute puppet for Jiuru, he would have to pay the price!

－－－－

Yang Xueshi came out after inspecting the corpse, and saw Zhaoran sitting on the outer threshold before standing up, and couldn't help but lower her voice and ask, "What's wrong?"

"Hungry. Zhaoran stood up and spread his hands.

"Hungry?" Yang Xueshi couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Zhao Ran sighed: "My old woman can't communicate with her gods, and if she communicates, she will be empty." ”

Yang Xueshi instinctively supported him, hugged Yang Xueshi obviously, and smelled the faint lavender fragrance emanating from him, although it was not the smell of sandalwood, but he didn't know why he always felt like an indescribable look, so he couldn't help but hug it a little tighter.

"Are you enough?" Yang Xueshi said in a low voice.

Zhao Zhongbo also said with concern: "Do you need to find a doctor?"

Zhaoran hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, you don't need a doctor, you can bring me some food." ”

"Oh, we were negligent, I'll get the old lady some early. ”

Zhaoran hurriedly said: "You're welcome, just braised elbows." ”

Zhao Zhongbo was stunned for a moment, although he felt that it was a little strange that this spirit woman had to eat elbows in the morning, but Zhao Mansion was such a big place, it was not impossible to find it, so he ordered a subordinate to go to Zhao Mansion to prepare first.

When they returned to the side hall, there were already several people standing in front of the hall, both men and women, and they all stepped forward to salute when they saw Zhao Zhongbo.

Zhao Zhongbo said: "You wait for the time being, and the adults will have something to ask." ”

Zhaoran sat in the chair, still feeling weak, he only felt like a thread in his heart, and that thread hooked his heart and brain, he couldn't think of the name, and when he thought about it, he felt a faint pain in his heart.

It was a feeling that he had never felt before, and he had never felt before.

And a trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, the merits of a thousand years, the supreme elegance, thinking about the past, are just in the finger-wide streamer in front of the door, people go around and around, tossing and turning, and in the end, only those things that have hurt themselves will not be buried by the quicksand of time.

"Old lady, the braised elbow is here. Zhao Zhongbo said.

Zhaoran sniffed, the smell of fragrant meat made him seem to come alive again, he didn't use chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and then said, "Let those witnesses come in." ”
