Lord Hou saw that Zhang Haogu's originally deep face was a little more dignified.

He nodded slightly to his son Husselei and said, "This matter is not urgent, you should go out first." ”

Zhang Haogu saw the reluctant look on his face when he saw this martial champion Hou Sailei. But he didn't want to disobey his father, so he sighed heavily and walked out with his head down.

"My lord, what are your orders to come to the lowly position?" Zhang Haogu said respectfully.

Lord Hou pointed to a position and motioned for him to do it first.

"I heard that there was a horrific murder case in the imperial city, but is there such a thing?" Lord Hou asked.

Zhang Haogu was shocked, he secretly thought to himself, is Lord Hou trying to blame me for not handling the case well? No, although it has been a few days since this case happened, and they have not made any actual progress at present, but such a thing should be punished by the officials of the Criminal Department, and it will not be handed over to the Household Servant.

Zhang Haogu couldn't figure it out in his heart, but he still replied one by one: "My lord Mingjian, this case happened suddenly, there were obviously two women living in the inn, but there was only a headless corpse in the room, and no one saw what was going on. ”

As soon as he mentioned the portrait posted, Lord Hou's face was as pale as earth and he was speechless.

Zhang Haogu saw that his face was pale and his expression was in a trance, and he couldn't help asking, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" Why are you so bothered? ”

Lord Hou suddenly sighed, and his eyes turned red.

"To tell you the truth, the two women you posted have been recognized by me and the dog, and they are my niece Rou'er and her personal maid."

Zhang Haogu really didn't think that the clue of this case actually appeared in the mansion of Lord Lang Hou of the household department.

"My lord, since it is your niece, Miss Rou'er, how can she appear in a humble inn?" Zhang Haogu said suspiciously.

Lord Hou shook his head and said: "This matter is also my fault, my son Sai Lei since he saw Rou'er, he has feelings for her, begging me to propose marriage to Rou'er's father first, I was also confused for a while, I didn't think that this little girl's mind was done like this, she knew that she secretly escaped from my house without saying a word, I sent people to look around, but there was no result, I didn't expect to see her on the portrait you posted!" ”

After Zhang Haogu heard this, he sighed, it turned out that there would be such a antecedent.

Although the identities of the two women are now known, the only woman's body has no head, how do you know that it was Miss Rou'er or the maid who died?

As soon as Zhang Haogu said this to Lord Hou, Lord Hou immediately said: "This matter is not difficult, the housekeeper in my house has met the two of them a few times, and can tell from their clothes and height whether the dead body is Rou'er or the maid." ”

"That's great, the body has been brought back to the yamen by pretending, please follow the officials to identify it." Zhang Haogu said.

Lord Hou nodded, called the housekeeper and told him to go to the yamen to recognize people and not mention it for the time being.

Lord Hou didn't dare to hide such a big thing.

He hurriedly wrote a letter, and asked someone to send it to Rou'er's father day and night.

After Rou'er's father, Lord Zhixian, received the letter, he was so angry that his mouth of blood spurted out and stained the entire letter red.

He swayed and fell to the ground, unaware of what happened.

The messenger did not dare to leave, and Lord Lang Hou, the head of the household department, repeatedly instructed him that he was absolutely not allowed to return to the imperial city until he received a reply from his old friend.

He had no choice but to stay there and wait, thinking that when the magistrate woke up, he would be able to get his reply.

But people are not as good as heaven, how could they have thought that the magistrate had a stroke in this fall, and the doctor said that he would not even be able to speak in the future, let alone write a letter.

When the messenger heard this, he thought: This is the end of the letter, the letter is gone, and now he can't even do a message, and there is no way for him to go back to the imperial city to make a business!

After thinking about it, he decided that it would be better to go back to the imperial city first and report these things truthfully to Lord Hou.

Lord Hou sent a housekeeper to the morgue of the Yamen to carefully examine the headless female corpse, and finally recognized her as Rou'er's personal maid.

This result made Zhang Haogu breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not Miss Rou'er herself who died, otherwise the burden on his shoulders would have been heavier.

Although human life was equally important, in that era, the lives of maids and servants were nothing at all, and in the hearts of these officials and wealthy people, they were just a group of mules and horses that could talk.

So when they heard that it was a maid who died, Lord Hou and his son Hu Sailei were also a little relieved.

At least Rou'er still has a glimmer of hope to live.

So, where did Miss Rouer come from?

We have to start from the beginning.

There is a Taoist temple in the imperial city, and the master is a Taoist priest surnamed Xue.

He can recite the forty-five Diamond Sutras and various sacrificial dojos, so there are many followers in the imperial city.

He is in his early thirties, but because he was born white and knows how to dress, the whole person looks energetic and fairy.

He also returned two little apprentices by his side, named Xiao Jin and Xiao Yin, these two apprentices are handsome, with a white and clean little face, big eyes, red lips and white teeth, smart and cute.

This Xue Dao Chang is so loved, is he really a master of Taoism?

No, he's a real villain!

Why?

Listen to me give an example.

One year, the Lu family, a wealthy family in the imperial city, asked him to choose a piece of feng shui treasure for his deceased relatives to be buried underground.

The Lu family has a piece of land of their own, where the Lu family has been buried for generations, and it is the ancestral grave of the Lu family.

When Xue Laodao came to this place, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

This is really a rare feng shui treasure, with a meandering river in front of it being a water dragon, and the dragon's head is facing the ancestral tomb of the Lu family.

There is also a small black hillside behind, like a black dragon, surrounding the ancestral tomb of the Lu family.

This is called Ssangyong Tuzhu.

No wonder the business of the Lu family is getting better and better, and the people are thriving, according to the feng shui of this double dragon spitting pearls, within thirty years, there will definitely be a high-ranking official and dignitary in the Lu family, at least a prime minister, light

Shine lintel.

This Xue Lao Dao saw the excellent feng shui of the Lu family's double dragons spitting pearls, and had the intention to occupy it, so he pretended to regret and said to the Lu family: "Oh, Lu Lao, the Lu family's ancestors are deep, so the people in the family will definitely soar and become rich, but this ancestral tomb is not a place, you look at the river in front of you, say that it is not big, it is not small, it has a head and no tail, this is a water snake, it is unlucky, and it will swallow the life of your Lu family." ”

Xue Laodao turned around and pointed to the black hillside and said: "Look here, this is a big black snake, its body is tightly entangled in the ancestral tomb of the Lu family, within the age of thirty, the Lu family will definitely produce an unfilial son, and the huge Lu family is bound to fall on him." ”

When the old man of the Lu family heard this, he trembled with fright.

He eagerly grabbed Xue Lao Dao's robe and said, "Oh, Dao Master, how is this good!" You are so merciful and compassionate that you must help us resolve it. ”

Xue Laodao pinched his fingers slightly and said: "Master Lu, it is really wise for you to invite me to choose a feng shui treasure land today, according to me, I can only see that while the Lu family has not yet appeared, the tomb will be moved quickly." (To be continued.) )
