The shopkeeper said: "Since the ghost appeared, there are still many people in the town who have disappeared for no reason, and everyone says that they were taken by ghosts, is it? The old man can't be sure! ”

This sentence aroused Fang Lei's interest and asked, "Who are the missing people?" ”

"They are all strong laborers over the age of eighteen and under the age of forty!" The shopkeeper said.

Fang Lei asked, "When do you usually disappear?" ”

"According to their family, they slept well at home at night, and when they got up the next morning, they found that they were missing, as if they had been taken away by ghosts?"

Fang Lei asked, "Has anyone gone to report to the official?" ”

He knew that if this matter was reported to the Yamen of Qingshan County, Qu Zhi County would definitely not ignore it.

The shopkeeper said: "Someone reported to the town office, and someone in the arrest room once asked, and when they heard that it was a ghost, they didn't even dare to come out to patrol at night!" ”

"They are really a waste of firewood, just taking money and not doing anything!" Fang Lei said.

When going upstairs, the shopkeeper instructed: "Don't turn off the lights when you go to bed at night, lest you be lured away by ghosts!" ”

Wu Xiangdong said: "Got it, thank you boss for reminding me!" ”

After going upstairs, Fang Lei said: "Tonight, I must send someone to take turns on duty at the door of the warehouse, and I decided to take a look at the dart car!" ”

"Are you really going to bother with this?" Wu Xiangdong asked.

Fang Lei said: "Such a strange thing happened to me, can I ignore it?" It's like the 'Whoredom Case' and the 'Gold Theft Case', it's quite challenging! ”

"Young Master Fang! Do you think there really are ghosts? Wu Xiangdong asked.

Fang Lei said: "This is a false rumor, not that there are ghosts, but that someone is pretending to be a ghost, but what is the secret behind pretending to be a ghost?" And the 'missing person case', and when the ghost appeared, is there a connection between the two? That's where I'm going to break the casserole – to the end! ”

"It seems that if you don't understand this matter, you won't be reconciled, I'll pay attention to the dart car!" Wu Xiangdong said.

Fang Lei said: "Thank you, Brother Wu! Great work! ”

This is a bit exaggerated, as if he is darts, Wu Xiangdong is the guest, and he is the master.

When he returned to the room, he thought to himself: These thieves are really so hateful, not only pretending to be ghosts and scary, but also kidnapping young and middle-aged laborers over the age of 18 and under the age of 40, causing the people to panic, I want to find out what they are doing.

At the third watch, Fang Lei found a white sheet, draped it on his body, and even wrapped his head tightly, only revealing two eyes, he decided to dress himself up as a ghost, to slander ghosts, to scare ghosts, and to control ghosts.

He quietly opened the window, jumped on the tile, and suddenly found three ghosts in white clothes and white pants, swaying on the street, he laughed in his heart, what ghost? It was clearly three thin men, dressed in white trousers, wearing masks, and barefoot, walking up and down the street, sometimes wriggling their buttocks and balls, swaying around, and the evening breeze blew their clothes fluttering, creating an illusion to scare people.

Fang Lei suddenly jumped up, floated towards the three ghosts in mid-air, and learned the so-called ghost sound, "quack", the three of them looked at it, "Mom", he pretended to be a fake ghost, but he attracted a real ghost, he was scared half to death, and desperately ran to the north of the street, only hating his father and mother for having two legs, or running faster!

It was not easy for him to meet a ghost, where would he let it go? Flying like a bird in mid-air, it chased after the three pretending to be ghosts, and there was a great tendency to kill them all and never give up.

Running up a small hill, the three fake ghosts couldn't run anymore, fell to the ground, and asked in horror, "What kind of ghost are you?" ”

"I'm the ghost king who specializes in you little ghosts, and I'm here to clean up you lonely ghosts who don't stay well in the tomb and run out to make trouble!"

Fang Lei pretended to be in mid-air, and made a strange voice, making the posture of an eagle swooping down to catch a chicken.

When the three fake ghosts heard this, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and knocked: "Brother Ghost King! Please forgive the life of the villain, we are human beings, not ghosts! ”

"That's better! I'm here to punish those wicked people who pretend to be gods and ghosts," Fang Lei said and was about to pounce.

One of the thin men said: "We are being coerced, not willingly, if we don't pretend to be gods, they will kill the villain's whole family!" ”

Fang Lei asked, "Who are you coerced?" Hurry up and recruit from the truth, if there is half a lie, hum! ”

When he said that, he pretended to pounce down from mid-air again, and when the thin man saw it, he hurriedly said: "We are the villagers more than ten miles away from here, half a year ago, the hateful owner of the village colluded with a group of wicked people in the Southern Wilderness to force the whole village to plant poppies, and they are not allowed to plant rice!" ”

Fang Lei asked: "It is illegal to plant opium poppies, and they dare to force the whole village to plant?" ”

"We have a remote mountain village, the mountains are high and far away, and the transportation is inconvenient, so no one cares," said the tall and thin man.

Fang Lei asked puzzledly: "What does growing poppies have to do with pretending to be a ghost?" ”

"That's the case, there is little labor in the villa, planting such illegal things, and they don't dare to openly recruit workers, for fear of being arrested by the government, so they forced us to go to the town street to pretend to be ghosts, one is to let them not come out at night, go to bed early, and the other group of people go door to door to investigate, and find that there are men in the family, and when the whole family is asleep, they go to cast smoke, so that the whole family can't wake up, and then the people unknowingly carry the man away, take him back to the village to do coolies, and go up the mountain to cultivate poppies!" The thin man said.

Fang Lei finally understood, so it was so, and another thin man said: "There is another purpose for pretending to be a ghost, to make the street people think that the missing people were taken away by ghosts, and there is no case to check, it is really a poisonous plan to kill two birds with one stone!" ”

"Won't the captive laborers resist or run away?" Fang Lei asked.

The tall and thin man said: "The man from the Southern Wilderness has more than 20 fierce and vicious thugs, all of them are like wolves and tigers, and they are strong in martial arts, and they guard the captured coolies during the day, forcing them to open up the wasteland and hoe the land, and if they do not comply, they will be punched and kicked, and they will be tortured to death, and at night they will be locked in several houses, and some straw will be laid on the ground, and they will be guarded, who can escape?" ”

At this time, Fang Lei landed in front of them from mid-air, ripped off the white sheet with one hand, revealed his true face, and said: "Actually, I am also a big living person, not a ghost king!" ”

When the three of them saw it, they exclaimed: "What a handsome descendant, even if it is a human, it is also a god man!" ”

Fang Lei said: "I just have more 'flying arts' than you, so I don't have to walk slowly!" ”

"There are only immortals! to be able to fly! The three thin men said in unison.

Fang Lei asked, "Then do you want me to destroy that gang of wicked people?" ”

Another thin man said: "I dreamed of it, the son didn't know, the thugs brought by the people of the Southern Wilderness, all of them were brutes, and after getting drunk at night, they went to the village to kick the women and young women, if they didn't obey, they were killed on the spot, and they had tortured to death more than three or four young women of fifteen or sixteen, and the people in the village hated them to the core, but they had no ability to fight against them, so they had to swallow their anger and dare not speak out!" ”

Let's see what kind of death these beasts are inferior?
