Yang Xianmao glanced at the older soldier and knew that he was just worried that he would be frightened and dare not go to see the county master again, so he would not be able to pay the errand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is just this expression that shows that the ghost of this yamen is really powerful, can you take it down, first figure out the situation, if you really can't do it yourself, then you will show the identity of the Qincha.

So Yang Xianmao smiled faintly and said, "Tell me, what's going on with this yamen haunting? How is this ghost dangerous? You don't have to hide it, in fact, no matter how powerful this ghost is, I will fight him, so you just tell the truth." ”

Hearing this, the older soldier knew that Yang Xianmao had already seen his previous intentions, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "This little Taoist leader, this ghost is not powerful, but it is a little powerful." We have invited three Taoists and a monk successively, but as a result, not only can we not catch the ghosts, but one Taoist priest died, one was seriously injured, and the other went crazy, shouting all day long, which is very scary. ”

"How long has this been haunted?"

"It's been a month. The older soldier smiled and said, "At first, the things in the yamen were always missing, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that were clearly placed on the table disappeared when they came back when they went out, and they began to think that someone was playing a prank, but when such things happened one after another, I felt that something was wrong." Until one day, a scribe in the torture room hanged himself from his belt in the hut. The magistrate went to invite the Taoist to catch the ghost, and the Taoist walked around the yamen and said that there was a terrible ghost who had been unjustly killed in the previous dynasty, and he had been resentful, because he was wrongfully executed, so his resentment remained in the yamen, and he wanted to seek revenge on the person who killed him at that time, but it had already been a matter of fact, and where could he still find the person back then? So he sprinkled his resentment on the people of the yamen. ”

Yang Xianmao frowned, thinking that if this was really the case, this ghost was excusable, and a ghost who died unjustly must always want revenge. At that moment, he said, "He was unjustly put to death, can the Taoist figure out the name or name of this man?"

"How can this be calculated, which yamen has not wronged anyone!"

After the soldier said this, he felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly smiled and said: "I mean the previous dynasty, the officials of the previous dynasty were all mediocre and wronged, that is also common, to our dynasty, the emperor Shengming, under the rule of Qingming, the officials are doing their best to make decisions for the people, there will be no more wrongdoing." It's just that the debts of the previous dynasty have to be borne by us, which seems too inappropriate. Therefore, such ghosts must be eliminated, otherwise, I don't know how many people will be harmed and how many people will die. ”

Xuan'er interjected on the side: "So, this ghost has killed a lot of people?"

"Yes, the dead man came to catch the ghost, but the next day the people of the Yamen found that he had died in the courtyard in front of the Yamen torture room, and there was a black green pinch mark on his neck, which was obviously strangled alive by the ghost. He still held a peachwood sword in his hand and a few runes in his left hand, and it seemed that his Taoism was not as good as that evil ghost, but he was killed instead of catching the ghost. ”

The younger soldiers also followed: "Yes, since then, the people in the yamen have to go to the yamen in the morning before they dare to come to the yamen, and if the sky is cloudy and rainy, there is no sun, and the timid will find an excuse not to come to the yamen." In the afternoon, before the sun set, they all dispersed in a hurry, and each went home, no one dared to stay in the yamen, and a few even said that they were sick and could not come. The magistrate has no way to take them. Because the eldest lord himself was scared enough, he himself did not dare to live in the inner house of the yamen, but moved to live in the garden of a large family in the county. The old man said that when he was young, he used to show people the cemetery, so he was not afraid of ghosts, but he didn't have the ability to catch ghosts, but it was not a problem to guard the yamen. The magistrate gave him three times his salary, left him to work in the yamen, and took care of the yamen. This old man is also bold. ”

"Big fart, it's not that the ghost has been killed!" said the older soldier, "this old man himself relied on the fact that he had shown people the grave in the cemetery, and the yang qi was heavy, and the ghost was not up, but that day he found that he died in the yamen, and he was also strangled to death, which is called scary, his eyes were round, his whole face was purple, and it was seriously distorted, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying, according to me, he was not strangled to death, but was scared to death, of course, after being scared to death, it is possible to continue to be pinched." ”

Xuan'er's eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, she could stuff a duck egg, and only said after a while: "So, that ghost has already strangled two people?"

The young soldier said, "Not just two, but several." ”

The old soldier glared at him, trying to stop him from talking, but Yang Xianmao waved his hand and said, "You let him continue, I want to know the details of the matter, so that I can know in my heart and think about how to deal with this thing." ”

The two soldiers glanced at each other, and the older soldier swallowed his saliva, and then continued: "There were three people who died before this, and no one thought that it was a ghost at that time, but then the man said so, and this is what brought it together." It was the two scribes of the torture chamber who died, also in the yamen, one fell from the bell tower overlooking and died, and the other fell into the well and drowned. There is also a cook lady in the inner house of the yamen, who died even more strangely. It was strange that she had been burned alive by the fire in the stove, as if something was chasing her and had to drill into the stove, and it was still burning inside. ”

Yang Xianmao frowned and said: "The mysterious death of two torture room scribes, plus a cook who got into the stove and burned to death, a Taoist priest who caught a ghost was strangled to death, and a watchman who beat the guard was also strangled to death, adding up to five deaths." ”

"Yes, yes, so the county magistrate is anxious, and now he is just in time to catch up with the new county magistrate who is about to take office, if the new county knows the news and is unwilling to take over this mess, the current county will not be able to get out, therefore, we are told not to tell the haunted things, and we have been trying to hide it, until after a series of dead people, the county magistrate panicked, and only then did he look for a capable person to catch the ghost, lest the new county magistrate find him trouble to join him. ”

Yang Xianmao was a little curious and asked, "Isn't it just haunted? Haunting is not the reason for the county." ”

The soldier said: "Little Daoist, you don't know, because this ghost was unjustly killed by the yamen, and if this unjust case is not found, the ghost will continue to make trouble." Although it is said that this case is an unjust case of the previous dynasty, not of the current dynasty, but it is only passed down from generation to generation, who can say that it is not the present, if the new magistrate insists that it is the current unjust case that causes the yamen to be haunted, then no one can deny this statement, and what I am afraid of now is this trick. ”

Yang Xianmao understood, it turned out that the current magistrate was worried that the new magistrate said that it was he who caused the unjust case that made the yamen haunted. Because the haunting is real, and the previous officials have not had such a thing, it is inevitable that the cause will be blamed on the current magistrate. The magistrate would rather believe this kind of thing, so he was in trouble. This is why the county paid a lot of money to ask the master to catch the ghost, only by catching this ghost can this statement be eliminated and he can be returned to his innocence.

Yang Xianmao thought for a while and asked: "In this way, the new Zhixian should be a powerful character, and the old Zhixian has some scruples in his heart, so he insists on catching ghosts and making errands,"

The veteran nodded and said: "That's right, the little Taoist is really profound, and he has grasped the key to the matter at once, this upcoming Xinzhi County is named Wang Dan, and he is this year's new science and technology jinshi." I heard that he was extremely powerful, this time when he was a scholar and the first palace test, he boldly pointed out the pros and cons of current affairs in the court, and the language was so sharp that the emperor's important ministers were dumbfounded, but the emperor praised him for his courage and knowledge, so let him go to Pingyang County to be the magistrate of the county first, and wanted to see his ability to govern the place, and if it was possible in the future, he would definitely be reused. This is known to everyone. Before, the eldest lord heard that such a figure was going to take over his official position, of course, he was a little apprehensive, so he wanted to end this haunted matter, so that he could make a difference, otherwise, with Wang Dan's character, he would never rub sand in his eyes, and take this mess, he even dared to comment boldly and bluntly in front of the emperor, not to mention, there were unjust cases under his rule, which led to the haunting of the yamen are haunted, and he will not sit idly by, but I am afraid that it will be entangled to the end. ”

Princess Xuan'er snorted and said, "In this way, you are only afraid that the old man of the county will not be good in the past few years, otherwise what is he afraid of? People are not afraid of shadows, usually do not do bad things, are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, he has done bad things, of course he is afraid of ghosts haunted." ”

When these two soldiers heard Xuan'er say this, they couldn't help but be shocked, although they also muttered this kind of thing in their stomachs, but who dared to say it to their faces? Hurry up and take a look, and wave their hands again and again to signal Xuan'er not to say it loudly, don't say this kind of thing, otherwise you will make trouble for yourself, after all, the county magistrate has not left his post yet, he wants to rectify someone, isn't it easy?

Unexpectedly, Xuan'er said: "Others are afraid of him knowing the county, but I am not afraid of him......"

Yang Xianmao was afraid that he would say anything like the ministers of his own envoys, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Since the Dao Chiefs were scared to death last time, I'm afraid that no one will dare to catch ghosts now, right?"

The old soldier said: "After the Taoist priest died, there were Taoist priests and monks who came, but they were frightened crazy and seriously injured one, and the crazy Taoist priest was crazy and couldn't tell the name, but the monk who was seriously injured said some clues, which made people more convinced that it was because of the unjust case." ”

Xuan'er said, "Oh, what did he say?"
