"Bad luck!"

"As soon as the people from the government come, we all have to delay the trip."

"I'm in a hurry."

"Our place is very remote, and the government doesn't know when it will come, no, I won't stay here, it has nothing to do with me, I still have to hurry."

The guests were all talking.

They still have an impression of this man.

It was in the middle of the night that the child might have fallen asleep and lay on the servant's shoulder, and the servant had chosen only one room, and the two of them lived together, and the night was uneventful, but he did not expect that the sun had not risen in the morning, and such an incident occurred.

Gossip is gossip, and the official still has to report it.

I don't know why it's so fast, before the group of people here came back to their senses, two officials arrived, it was said that they were running an errand nearby, and they happened to meet the guy who went to report to the official.

As soon as the two officials came, the older one at the head beckoned the inn to close, and everyone was not allowed to enter or leave.

The other guarded the boy's body before asking, "Who found the deceased?" ”

All the people looked back at the servant.

"I remember."

But the servant slammed the ground and roared.

A group of guests startled him, and the two officials were also stunned.

"Just now I came out to look for my young master, and I saw a man in black clothes who was not tall sneaking out, and when I saw me, I lowered my head and covered my face, the murderer must be him! Absolutely, yes! ”

The man looked around, his face filled with anger.

"I recognize that face."

The two officials hesitated, then called the innkeeper over and asked, and the shopkeeper was also at a loss, not knowing where they came from the black-clothed murderer.

"Then, I have to search for it."

The younger official sighed.

The crowd was in an uproar.

The servant showed a resolute look: "Search, must search, poor master, I took the young master all the way, from all of it, now the young master has an accident, if I can't give an explanation, then, that, that is to force the little servant to death." ”

After saying that, he cried again.

Everyone was speechless.

The older official frowned, raised his voice, and said softly: "Everyone, for the sake of everyone, catch the murderer earlier, everyone can leave the road early, and if there is a murderer hiding in it, I don't think your safety can be guaranteed, so let's search around, let this kid see if there is the man in black he has seen." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and a few guests sank their faces and said angrily: "How can it be done, we have a female dependent!" ”

"That is, if they are all rough-skinned and thick-skinned gentlemen, you can search for them, but now that there are female dependents, how can you get it!"

"My wife is pregnant with Liujia and is about to give birth, this time it is a last resort to go back to her hometown, you want to find it, you can't go to my wife's yard."

A group of guests spoke one after another, each with their own opinions.

The official's face sank, and he said angrily: "If you can't find the murderer, you can all go to the yamen with me." ”

Now the big guy suddenly relented.

The young official looked around: "Don't be stunned, if you want me to say start now, from north to south, this courtyard will start." ”

As soon as everyone pointed to their yard, they pointed to Hongchen's courtyard.

The small courtyard they chose is not big, but the location is good and very conspicuous, and it is not surprising to choose it first.

The faces of several grandmothers changed suddenly, and one of them hurriedly went in to report the news.

Hongchen also frowned.

It is said that when they go out, there is no need to be too particular, they should leave anyway, and they are packing their things, but there are so many female dependents in the family, like Sister Yao, they are all Yunying's unmarried girls, and the rules in Jiangnan are strict, not as good as in the capital, so let a group of men break in and look around, they are afraid that they can't stand it.

Let alone......

In the blink of an eye, the two officials took the servant to the front of the courtyard, and they were very polite, but they insisted on going in to search.

A few people here are so popular that when they changed to something else, they would have already brought out the signboard of the Lu family, in Jiangnan, the signboard of the Lu family is much harder than that of ordinary officials, but now, even the subordinates know it, I am afraid that it is not suitable.

"Don't worry, we're going to search people, we won't disturb the master's house too much, search it, if not, everyone can rest assured."

The subordinates of the Lu family didn't dare to let them in, and after a while, there was an argument, and both sides were angry.

The two officials were very angry: "If you are not accommodating, then wait a minute, no one wants to leave, the county government is not far from here, the brothers will not be able to come over in a short time, if you insist on leaving, the two of us will not be able to stop everyone, but when the time comes, the county government will issue a sea fishing document and arrest it everywhere, then it is no wonder that we are arrested." ”

This is a threatening statement.

The subordinates of the Lu family are also well-informed, so much so that they don't eat this set a little, but the problem is that now they don't feel like usual, and they don't even feel that they are silent.

Hongchen shook his head, took a step forward, his eyes fell on the servant, sniffed lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't be cruel, isn't it the murderer, who said to catch the murderer, you must search our yard, take a look, this place is so open, the wall is so low, not to mention the murderer, it is a thief, and it is easy to run out." ”

The official's face suddenly froze.

"Could it be that the murderer killed someone, and he still wants to stay to watch the fun?"

Without waiting for the official to continue speaking, Hongchen said again, "I have an idea that I think is the best, for example, to ask the victim directly?" Who is the murderer? ”

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Can a dead man speak?"

"Dead people can't speak." Hongchen looked at the child again and said softly, "Most dead people can't speak, but this child, I think he still has a chance to live." ”

said, waved his hand, and motioned for Luo Niang to take a step forward, "This girl of mine has been cultivating in the mountains for many years, and she has cultivated half of the art of resurrecting the dead, which is effective for some dead people, so it is better to let her try it and see if she can wake up this child." ”

"Ridiculous!"

The servant was astonished, and his face turned green.

The guests were also taken aback, and looked at them with all curiosity, most of them sneering, not believing it at all.

Luo Niang stepped forward generously, and the servant suddenly rushed over and stretched out his hand to stop him, Luo Niang frowned and said: "Why, your little master is already dead, and he doesn't even try to save him." ”

"You ......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Luo Niang glanced at her own young lady, Hongchen nodded, she walked up and took off the big pin and put it under the child, took out the silver needle, and quickly pierced the child's body with nine needles in a row, pressed his left chest extremely hard with her hand, and raised her chin slightly.

Luo Niang's series of movements were very fast and neat, and everyone was stunned, even those who didn't believe in bringing the dead back to life couldn't help but feel mysterious.

"Whew, ahem, ahem, ahem!"

At the moment when Luo Niang picked up the needle, the child's fingers flicked, and then his eyelids kept beating, and it felt that it was almost a very short time, and he coughed violently.

Everyone was stunned.

The faces of the two officials changed suddenly, and the servant was also stunned.

Luo Niang helped the child sit up, Hongchen took a step forward, touched the child's forehead, carefully dipped a handkerchief in some water, and wiped it on his nose and the corners of his mouth, the child lifted his eyelids and looked at him blankly.

Hongchen smiled and asked, "Child, what's your name?" ”

"Qingqing."

"Okay, Qingqing, look up at this person, do you know?"

As she spoke, Hongchen signaled, and everyone looked up with her words, just in time to see the servant staggering back a few steps, looking like that, as if he wanted to escape.

A group of guests all felt that something was wrong.

The servant was stunned, his face changed, he stopped and hurriedly rushed forward, and asked Xiao Yan to stop him before hugging the child, but he said loudly: "Little master, thank God, you are fine, great." ”

The little boy said, "Who are you?" Where's Daddy, I'm looking for Daddy, Mother, Mother? ”

All:......

The servant's face became even more ugly, and he reluctantly said, "Young Master, what's wrong?" He deliberately glared at Hongchen, "You guys, this...... Spells, will they fool our young master? ”

"I don't think he's stupid, he's sober." Hongchen smiled, "Why don't you ask him, who killed him and how?" ”

The servant gritted his teeth and deliberately straightened his face, "That's it, since the young master is fine, don't let him think about it too much, and if he thinks too much, he will take our young master home now, I!" ”

As he spoke, he pushed Xiao Yan and was about to move forward.

As soon as Xiao Yan exerted his strength, he suppressed him back, and the man was furious and shouted, "What are you going to do?" Take advantage of the fire to rob, what do you want to do to our young master! ”

The iron bull came up from behind slowly, with a strong body, a murderous face, and a sense of oppression, which immediately made the servant silent.

The current iron bull is not like before, as he gets older, he is taller, his momentum is more ferocious, and he is holding a tiger in one hand, which is like playing, not to mention this kind of ordinary person, it is the top guard in the palace, standing in front of him is stunned.

"Woooooooo

The child began to cry with sobs, his voice getting weaker and weaker, and his face turned pale.

Hongchen didn't feel annoyed, but he was afraid that he would be better, so he hurt his body again, patted and coaxed, and asked in a low voice: "Don't know him?" ”

"No, I don't know."

The servant was shocked: "No, yes, it must be my young master who is confused." ”

Hongchen smiled: "I think this kid is not confused at all, since you took him out alone, if you are really a servant of his family, you must be a cronie, how can you not know you." ”

Now all the guests were suspicious of the servant, and their faces were full of wariness.

The servant wanted to say something, but he was forced to say nothing.

"Where is your home?"

"At home." The little boy looked to be six or seven years old, but when he spoke, he looked like he was three or four years old.

Hongchen asked a few words, but when he couldn't ask, he just stopped, and a group of guests were in an uproar: "What's going on!" ”

"It's ...... Resurrection of the dead! ”

The eyes of everyone looking at Luo Niang are really similar to looking at immortals.

It took a while for someone to say, "Now that there are no dead people, we can go, right?" ”

The two officials looked at each other, and couldn't say a word, they glanced at each other, made a look, and the older one said, "Then we'll ...... first."

Hongchen waved his hand: "Wait, the matter has come out, there must be a result." She looked around, smiled, and beckoned, Xiao Yan stepped forward gently.

"This girl of mine has also cultivated in the mountains for many years, and is proficient in divination, so let him calculate first, what is going on, where did this child come from, how?"

This is really not very reliable, but everyone looked at Luo Niang and thought about the resurrection, and no one dared to say that the girl in front of them couldn't do it.

Divination is always more convincing than resurrection.

Xiao Yan generously took three copper coins from Hongchen, squatted on the ground and fiddled with them, looked up and pointed to the big courtyard next to Hongchen and said, "Miss, that courtyard is about to have an accident!" ”

"Huh?"

Everyone was stunned.

A few tough men who had been silent, hugging their shoulders to watch the excitement, turned their heads suddenly, and rushed into the courtyard door with their legs pulled.

After a while, the courtyard was brightly lit, and there were several sounds of weapons handing over, as well as muffled snorts.

After a while, the door opened, and a young man came out, and as soon as he came out, he thanked Hongchen and them: "If it weren't for the young lady's timely reminder, we would really have lost an important object." ”

A group of guests were dumbfounded.

Hongchen smiled, glanced at the servant, looked at the two officials, raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that the purpose of this play is not ours." ”

Obviously, everyone is not stupid, the young man who came out of the courtyard made a look, and immediately someone arrested the two officials and the so-called servant.

The official's face changed suddenly, and he shouted, "What are you doing, rebelling? ”

The young man snorted coldly: "Rebellion? I think you're the thief. ”

Hongchen's eyes flashed, and when he saw Qiao's face pale, and the other people's complexions were not very good, he didn't say much, spread his hands, and said to Xiao Yan: "Now let's take a look at what is going on with this child, send him home, and everything is over." ”

Xiao Yan fiddled with the copper coin for a while.

"Five and a half miles east, up the mountain."

Hongchen looked back, told a few words, asked Qiao's and the others to rest first, settle down, greeted himself, and took a few little servants to prepare to send the child back.

Several guests were very curious and strongly asked to follow.

In fact, this kind of thing, everyone who meets it will have a little curiosity, who wouldn't want to see if the divination is accurate?

It was those people in the yard next to him who looked not simple, and they also came out to go with a few people, Hongchen didn't mind, and the group set off in a big soup, Xiao Yan led the way in front, rode a horse and rode a car, and after walking for a long time, he got off the car and climbed the mountain, and walked up the mountain for a short time, and saw a large area of early blooming spring flowers fluttering in the wind.

Hongchen glanced at it, and Xiao Yan pointed to a grave and said, "This is it, this kid's name is Qi Qing." ”

Everyone was shocked.

The grave was new and looked complete, but Xiao Yan pulled it down in the past and saw the traces of the excavation.

Xiao Yan looked around twice, there happened to be an old man next to him carrying a basket and didn't know what to do, looked back, saw the child, he rolled his eyes in fright and fainted, and the little boy shouted: "Uncle Hua." ”

With a suffocation, the old man woke up and fainted again.

Everyone looked around, tossing for a long time to figure out, it turned out that this child was really Qi Qing, he hit his head in the middle of the night last night, and he should have stopped for a few days, but the child's parents were out of the house, and his uncle and aunt didn't know what to think, whether it was troublesome, or there was some other reason, so they directly found a place to bury it.

"Hey, this kid had to look for his father in the middle of the night, he went out and ran around and had an accident, hit his head and died, this, this ......"

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Xiao Yan, their eyes full of awe.

The rest of the matter was simple, and Hua Bo took it, and found the child's uncle, which obviously frightened the man.

He looked like he was a little regretful, and was arguing with his mother-in-law, and when he asked, he realized that the reason why he buried people so quickly was because his wife listened to the fortune teller's nonsense, saying that the child died young, and died in vain, and he didn't bury it quickly, and he wanted to bring trouble to the family, and he would find their boy to be a substitute for the dead.

About the same worry, with his younger brother's child, it was inexplicable to die, it is not easy to explain to his younger brother, this person cried a handful of snot and tears, not like his wife, and was afraid that the child was not a person, and wanted to splash him with chicken blood, so he hugged the child and cried with tears: "I'll tell your father, let him pick you up, Qingqing is good, you can't run around in the future, uncle will get your father back." ”

After crying, I thanked Hongchen and them a thousand times.

Hongchen understood and said with a smile: "In this way, I want to thank the person who dug up the body and caused the trouble." ”

If it weren't for this guy's whim, I'm afraid this kid would really be dead.

After watching such a big scene, the guests were so tired that they felt that it was a good deal, and they didn't feel bad about delaying a little time.

Now that the child has found his family, everyone set off to go back, all the way back, chattering all the way, watching Luo Niang and Xiao Yan's eyes become more and more weird.

Hongchen didn't care, and when he returned to the inn, he hurriedly beckoned the big guy to pack up his things, and Luo Niang and Xiao Yan were also busy helping to sort out their luggage.

In front of them, Xiao Yan and the two people carried the boxes to the car, doing all kinds of rough work in a hurry, which was more neat than the Lu family's subordinates, Qiao's eyes were dizzy and his heart was shocked.

Especially Xiao Yan also served tea and poured water, happily serving Hongchen.

Hongchen was so calm that the little sisters around couldn't help but stand up, their faces full of awe.

Qiao's eyes were fierce.

"Huh? What's wrong? Hongchen also felt inexplicable, "Madam? ”

"Hey, you kid, why are you so ignorant, like this kind of strange person, you are fortunate to meet it, people are willing to come to your side to help, you should be treated well, how can you really be called by people!" Qiao shook his head repeatedly.

She used to think that Hongchen treated the two maids too thickly, and she didn't have the posture of a young lady, only when she was used to staying in the countryside, the people naturally had no rules, but these two girls stood out very and were loyal, so she didn't say anything, but today, where is it too generous, it is clearly a thin treatment, although there is a difference between the top and bottom, but people have such a big ability, how can they be used as ordinary maids!

Hongchen: "......" (To be continued.) )
