In Lin Dai's courtyard, the ghost cry in the middle of the night almost came from the window.

Ever since Yunzhou had helped her get a good soft couch, she had slept outside the bed. But he said that there were three levels in this room. The Pull-out Bed is the innermost one. Beyond the bed is the living room. The living room is large in size and has windows. In order to capture the view, the window sill is extremely wide and curved outward, making it easy to enter regardless of the scenery and sound. After Lin Dai moved out of the stepping bed, he naturally stayed here. and the girl and grandmother who accompanied her are all here.

As soon as the ghost cried, Piao'er heard it first, jumped up in fright, and almost ran out without being half naked!

It was Yinggu who woke up in time and grabbed her: "What are you doing?" ”

"Ghost ...... Ghost. "Piao'er is fighting with her teeth.

"Oh? It's the night birds. Yinggu said casually, "Let's splash it!" ”

The cry was not like a bird. If it is a bird, then the bird is afraid that it has also become a spirit. Yinggu filled the basin with water, estimated the place where the sound came from, and splashed it vigorously. And no one screamed. The crying fell silent for a moment, and then a few more tears.

Ying Gu admonished all her subordinates: "The girl sleeps in the room, and none of you shall make a sound to alarm her." If not, watch your flesh and skin! After the warning was over, he lit the lantern and went to the courtyard.

The crying was gone. Was it scared away by the lights? Aren't ghosts afraid of light? Yinggu looked stunned, held the lamp to look for it, and when she saw the place that was splashed with water before, she put the lantern next to it. The light illuminated a circle of flowers and trees, as well as the wall next to it.

There's a cat hole at the base of the wall.

Back then, Miss Xie Liu lived here. Miss Six likes cats and hates dogs. She ordered that the hole in the base of the wall be kept small so that only cats could get in. After years of being unattended, the entrance of the cat's cave has become dusty, covered with weeds and branches, and has become smaller, and it is a little difficult for the cat to get in and out.

Ghosts don't sneak in from there, do they?

Ying Gu looked at it for a while and clapped her hands: "Take care of this lantern, the ghost will not come today - I think it's still a bird!" Are you cowardly? I heard that there is a god under the second son. Since he is a god, wouldn't it be as easy as eating a bird to catch a ghost? Just come and see it tomorrow. You're not afraid, are you? Go back to sleep! The vigil of the vigil, keep the lantern watched, don't go out. ”

The second half of the night was quiet.

By the next day, Yun Ke had returned.

Qingqiao didn't sleep all night, and only took a nap when the red sun was scorching. By then, it was over. Yi Li was taken away by Lin Dai since he asked for peace, and he was not asked to go back to this courtyard. The courtyard was clear and quiet, and suddenly there was a shocking sound of the door, which woke Qingqiao up from his dream, and he thought it was a robber coming.

Halfway to the door, she had already heard that this was Yun Ke's rhythm, and she was overjoyed.

A little girl came to the door first, opened the door, and Qingqiao greeted her: "Fifth son! Is Childe back? "I want to go down with condolences. Yun Ke had already pushed the little girl away, kicked Qingqiao in the chest, kicked Qingqiao to the ground, and scolded in his mouth: "Cheap girl! How do I treat you? It's your turn to gloat! ”

The second master has already come with his second wife. In order to get this son, he took a lot of effort, because after all, this is his son, and he can't be put in prison, how can he see people! After getting it out, he was going to beat the son up. If the Son does not teach, the Father will do the same! He was going to do his duty of fatherhood!

The second wife came with the second master, and she was very considerate of his feelings, and she didn't take some dry and itchy pleas on the way to annoy the old man. She asked, "Master, who is the master of the case?" Is it easy to seal? No troubles? ”

The second master said: "That case case fell into the hands of Zhou Kongmu. ”

The second wife said curiously: "A Kongmu? ”

Kong Mu is a small official who could not be smaller. How small is it? I got the nickname "Flea Officer", which is as small as a flea, and has no grade! said that he was eating official food, but in fact, he was a small guy who did chores, and the court didn't pay him any money! The salary of a term is paid by the local treasury itself, that is, if the magistrate feels that it is necessary to ask for miscellaneous work, the magistrate pays for it himself, and the court does not care.

Miscellaneous servants are indispensable, and in some places the finances are tight, the magistrates have invited the small servants, but they can't pay decent wages, and the flea officials want to mix delicious food, so they can only find their own ways, such as using their power to privately give each other abundant food and clothing, and some upright counselors in Beijing gritted their teeth when they played a fold: "What's not the flea official is broken!" "Actually, you can't want the horses to run or the horses not to eat grass......

Far from it. In short, Kong Mu is such a supernumerary official. They are like lice on a dog's leg, diligent and indispensable, but they have never had a place in the dog meat feast.

How can such a small official be in charge of the big case of Xie Fugongzi's injury?

The second old man said: "Which Zhou Kongmu should you be?" He was the one who hosted the robbery of the eldest grandson. And the rouge case! ”

The second lady said "oh".

Last year, Tang Jingxuan, the eldest grandson of Tang Taishou, encountered a gang of daring thieves who stripped him of a boatload of gold and silver, and even the clothes on his body. Tang Taishou instructed the most capable person to preside over the case. Zhou Kongmu is the most capable person in public recommendation.

Further back, it was the rouge case that determined Zhou Kongmu's status as a "capable official".

Rouge is a girl, she didn't really pick up the brand as a **, but she was also a little unclean, she made some money by relying on men, and then she became good. The so-called lover probably failed to satisfy her, and she was not in the room. And so early one morning, the beloved family arose, and found that she was gone, and that many of the gold and silver vessels were gone. So I reported to the official. Someone on the street also came to report: there is a female corpse on the side of the road!

But Rouge died on the side of the road. There was no silver or gold on him.

Soon, a young man was found shivering in a corner with blood on his body. This young man is one of the ** of Rouge.

The beloved family thinks that the facts of the case are obvious: rouge wrapped the gold and silver in the beloved's house and eloped with **. Snatched gold and silver and killed her.

**The family also thinks that the facts of the case are obvious: Rouge wrapped the gold and silver in the beloved family's house and wanted to elope with **. The lover found out, chased her out, killed her, and snatched back the gold and silver!

This is called the public to say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law is reasonable, and the officials related to the punishment in Jincheng are all one head and two big, and they are planning to sacrifice the magic weapon of officialdom, find the most likely suspect, and use the torture instrument to fight into an iron case! ――But you can't decide which one is more suspicious? Loved or **?

At this juncture, it was Zhou Kongmu who saved the reputation of Jincheng's criminal world.

Rouge was not killed by **, nor was he killed by a beloved. When she was walking alone on the side of the road with gold and silver, she bumped into another ruthless person who wanted to make money and burst out to kill people and seize money, so that she could not elope and die on the side of the road. ** After waiting for her for a long time, he came out to look for her, touched the corpse, stained with blood, was so frightened that his soul flew away, turned around and ran wildly, hid in the corner and sifted the chaff, and was taken out as a suspect to see the official.
