Tong Lin was sitting in a precarious position, and replied with a dry cough: "Back to Wushuai, Huang Xiangu came to Wuzhou three days ago and stayed at the Fulai Inn in Nancheng. Listening to my lady, she is a seven fairies descending to earth, with vast magical powers and boundless mana. The Xu butcher in the alley was knocked on the door by a ghost the night before yesterday, and she was asked to solve it! ”

Everyone remained silent after hearing this, a strange look appeared on their faces, and the atmosphere was slightly depressed. In this era, people have poor knowledge of natural sciences and cannot understand things, so they forcibly let the ghosts and gods take the blame.

Tong Lin was focused, moved his buttocks unnaturally, and continued to speak: "In the middle of the night before yesterday, Xu Butcher was awakened by a knock on the door, and tiptoed to the bed to open the door, but found that there was no one. At first, I thought it was a wild cat, but soon after lying on the bed, there was a knock on the door again, and there was still nothing when the door was opened! ”

Tong Lin had palpitations, subconsciously wiped the cold sweat that did not exist, and continued: "Xu Butcher is bold, hiding behind the door with a butcher's knife, and opening the door immediately after knocking on the door, the result is still the same. How can people be so fast? He was so frightened that the whole family didn't sleep all night, and there was a knock on the door all night. ”

The conference room was even more depressed, and everyone's breathing was a little heavy, Tong Lin continued: "Yesterday, I invited Huang Xiangu to go out and go to his house to do a ritual, and holy water was sprinkled on the door of the house. Strange to say, there was no knocking at the door at night! By the way, Wu Shuai, Huang Xiangu will perform the immortal method in the South Temple at noon today, should we..."

Wu Kang wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up and said, "Get ready, go to visit Qian Si first, and then go to Xu Tuhu's house to investigate, and finally meet that Huang Xiangu." Ben Shuai wants to see what the so-called fairy is hiding in the world. San Lang, you lead the way, let's go immediately! ”

The group left the state government and walked on the street, and the pedestrians dodged to the side of the road, afraid to come out. For a while, people were panicked, bad people poured out of the nest, and something big must have happened!

Under the leadership of Tong Lin, everyone came to Qian Shilang's house. It's another poor family, and they can't even get tea for entertaining. Qian Siqiang smiled, and Qian's sister-in-law looked at her dying daughter on the hospital bed, and burst into tears uncomfortably. Xiaolang, who is less than half a year old, is hungry and crying, and no one cares.

Wu Kang was secretly sad, and Sister-in-law Qian donated the money to Huang Xiangu, apparently begging her to bless her daughter, but unfortunately it backfired. Feudal superstition kills people, no matter what era, it must be completely defeated!

Thinking of this, he took off the money bag on his waist, which was about more than 200 yuan, and stuffed it into Qian Si's hand and said, "Go and grab the medicine for the little lady first, which medicine works well, let's take which!" If you don't have enough money, go to the craftsman alley to find me, and if I'm not there, I'll look for it. ”

Qian Si cried instantly, fell to his knees with a plop, and was about to say something, but was scolded by Wu Kang: "Man, don't be so soft legs, stand up for me... Ben Shuai will not let his subordinates go hungry, let alone let your family be ruined! Arrange your home properly, and then report to the yamen! Brothers, come with me to Xu Butcher's house! ”

The houses in the alley are basically high, and there is a tall one that stands out like a flock of chickens, which is the butcher Xu Ci's home. Killing pigs and slaughtering sheep fat is a lot of water, and his family is relatively wealthy. Suddenly, the wail of sheep sounded in the yard, and in an instant there was no sound again. The butcher's knife was precisely stabbed into the sheep's neck, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the blood of the sheep flowed into the barrel under the meat case.

Xu Ciyou is shirtless, the fat on his body trembles, his face is full of horizontal silk meat, his beard is big and his eyes are triangular eyes, his chest is slap and his heart is full of hair, and he is wearing shoes with a strap. was peeling the skin and deboning and having fun, when a knock sounded on the door, and he turned his head and shouted impatiently: "Who? Knock what knock? ”

No one answered, and the knocking on the door became more and more rapid, and there was a tendency to tear down the courtyard door. Xu Ci looked at the sun, the lady would not return so early to sell meat, she must be a stranger. Thinking of this fire, he rushed up, grabbed the butcher knife on the board, scolded and went to open the door.

As soon as he pulled the latch of the door, he took five or six steps back in fright, and his fat body trembled. The black pressure at the door was full of bad people, and when he saw the sharp knife in the butcher's hand, he was also startled. Jiang Erniu and Xu Sanjiao protected Wu Kang behind them, and Jiang Daniu rushed into the courtyard with the three of them and surrounded Xu Butcher. The four long knives were unsheathed at the same time, and Jiang Da Niu roared in his voice: "Raise your hands, raise them above your head!" ”

Xu Ci's head buzzed, and he hurriedly raised his hands high, his legs and stomach trembled, and his arms trembled. The face is as white as a freshly baked steamed bun, and the sideburns on the forehead are dripping with fine sweat. The slaughtered pig kept shaking, and Wu Kang was really worried that he was unstable, and the knife fell and grabbed himself.

Jiang Da Niu continued to roar: "Now listen to my command, let me see your hand, and slowly squat down... Don't move your left hand and slowly put the knife on the ground... With your head in your hands... Good, very good! Listen to me, and don't act rashly without my command. If I think you're aggressive, I'll behead you! ”

After Jiang Daniu finished speaking, he carefully kicked away the sharp knife, and Tong Lin hurriedly went over to pick it up, holding the handle of the knife on guard. Bad people poured into the courtyard and quickly inspected all the rooms, including the pigsty and the thatched house. After making sure that there were no potential safety hazards, Jiang Erniu and Xu Sanjiao dodged left and right, revealing Wukang behind them.

Wu Kang glanced at the butcher who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, then looked at Jiang Daniu and the others, and nodded with satisfaction. In order not to abandon the old business, I gave these goods physical education lessons; In order to satisfy the bad taste, the style of the American police was moved to Wuzhou.

Came to the butcher and squatted down, untied the waist card on his waist, shook it twice in front of his eyes, squinted his eyes and said lightly: "I am a bad handsome man in Wuzhou, my surname is Wu and my name is Kang, you can call me Wu Shuai!" Except for the second one, male, 35 years old, from the southern district of Wuzhou. ”

Wu Kang saw that his eyes were dull, and he said with a serious face: "Now Ben Shuai suspects that you are related to a fraud case, please assist us in the investigation." You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be testified in court! Now tell me, where is the door that the devil knocks on? ”

Except for the time when there were clouds and fog, I probably understood the meaning, and just wanted to stretch out my hand to the door, a sharp pain in my back came. In pain, he let out a "ahhh

Jiang Daniu scolded loudly: "This is the first time and the last time!" If you dare to act rashly, you will be guaranteed to fall to the ground! ”

Wu Kang looked at the shaky chaff butcher and the yellow water stains on the ground, shook his head and stood up. Walk slowly to the door of the main house, close the door and check carefully. The mulllion paper on the right half of the door was obviously new, and the old one was probably soaked with "holy water". Bring the wooden stake next to it and stand on it to take a closer look.

Reached out to wipe off the stain, straightened his nose and sniffed, but he didn't smell any strange smell. I inadvertently saw a very thin black line, studied it carefully for a moment, and the corners of my mouth pulled out a playful smile. Take out the dagger at your waist and carefully shave off the black line, bringing a small piece of wood chips.

Pacing around the yard with a dagger, he finally found a nest of ants in the south corner of the west wing. The dagger was placed next to the ant nest, and something interesting happened, and the ants scrambled to climb up the sawdust.

When the sawdust was crawling with ants, he picked up a dagger and came to everyone, looked at their surprise, and slowly explained: "Now analyze the ghost knocking on the door, listen carefully to me!" Someone quietly smeared honey on the window lattice, the honey is light yellow in color, almost the same as the wooden door, it is difficult to find the clue without looking carefully. Also, everyone knows about bats, right? ”

The bad guys shook their heads one after another, Wu Kang wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and continued: "It's what we call Fuyi and Tian Mouse, because they look like mice, so the common people rumor that rats eat salt and become bats. Actually, this is not true, bats and mice have nothing to do with each other. It has a mild temperament and is very afraid of humans, mostly diurnal and nocturnal. Likes to eat flies, pollen, and prefers honey. ”

At this time, Huang Qi in the team, hehe laughed twice, took two steps forward and said: "What does Wu Shuai mean, the ghost who knocked on the door is a heavenly mouse?" I know this thing, the old problem of coughing in my family is to eat it well. They come at night smelling honey and their wings hitting the door like a knock. As soon as people open the door, they will scare away. Wu Shuai, that's what you mean, right? ”

Wu Kang said "um" with satisfaction, and gave him a thumbs up, this kid also knew what it meant, and smiled happily. waved his hand to signal him to join the ranks, and continued to explain: "People who don't know the truth naturally think that a ghost is knocking on the door. There is a good saying, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! ”

Looking at the black pressure ants on the dagger, he smiled and said: "I just found the fluff of the bat on the door of the house, so I cut off a piece and put it next to the ant nest, and the ants also like honey, so they all climbed up." In fact, there are no gods and ghosts in the world, and some are pretending to be gods. This is a complete scam, and some people have set up this trick to defraud money! ”

Tong Lin interjected: "What Wu Shuai means, the initiator of this matter is that Huang Xiangu... Nine times out of ten, I think she laid a scam, pretended to come to solve the situation, and used bullshit holy water to clean the door of the house, but she actually cleaned the honey on the door. Bats can't smell honey and naturally won't come. ”

Jiang Daniu directly scolded: "These liars deserve to die!" The little white face the day before yesterday almost cheated ten times of money. Huang Xiangu is even more hateful, she even cheated the Qian Si's life-saving money, if it wasn't for Wu Shuai's rescue, Qian Xiaoniang's life would be gone. Please give an order to arrest the Yellow Demon Man! ”

Wu Kangsi nodded, came to Xu Butcher and said, "Are you a victim or an accomplice of the liar, Ben Shuai can't be sure." Therefore, before the water is settled, do not leave Wuzhou City, otherwise you will be killed. Please cooperate with our investigation, and if the handsome people come to please, obediently report to the bad guard. Now tell Ben Shuai, can you do it? ”

"Can... I must be able to", Xu Butcher was sweating profusely, and nodded like garlic.

"Hehe... Don't get too nervous. We will not spare a bad person, nor will we wronged a good person. If you are innocent, Ben Shuai guarantees that you are safe and sound", Wu Kang stood up after speaking, looked at his subordinates and ordered: "Tong Saburo leads the way in front of his head, we will be a yellow demon for a while!" ”

The team quickly left, leaving Butcher Xu to collapse to the ground, this person was almost frightened, the bad guy was really fierce. After a long time of coming back to his senses, he rushed into the main house as if flying, came to the bedroom and got under the bed, lifted the green bricks and took out an altar. Looking at the mouth of the altar that was still sealed, shaking the copper coins inside, I couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Hide the jar again, check the rest of the house, and see if nothing has been lost. Looking at the still neat furnishings, I was confused for a while. These people were aggressive, but their hands and feet were clean and they did not take the opportunity to steal. Not only did he have nothing to lose, but he also understood that the ghost knocked on the door, and he no longer had to worry about it. This seems to be a good result...

Putting aside the tangled Xu Butcher for the time being, just said that Wu Kang led his subordinates and swaggered down the alley, the posture was like the dragon king traveling, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs would follow. I walked out of the alley all the time, but I didn't find half a figure. couldn't help sneering at the moment, Huang Da is quite capable, this is all empty.

Slowly followed behind Tong Saburo and went to the Land Temple in Nancheng District, where the Yellow Demon Man cast his spell. The so-called land temple is a temple dedicated to the land lord. When the common people have white things, the filial son will go to the land temple to kowtow and report it to the land lord. Wrap a tile in yellow paper, store the soul of the deceased in the land temple, and ask the land lord to take care of it temporarily, which is the so-called "soul pressing".

When the funeral is taken away, it is called "soul", and the soul tile is buried together with the coffin. In ancient times, the word "filial piety" was valued, and Li Zhi also wrote "filial piety" into the law, so in this era, the incense of the land temple was very prosperous. If you go to the countryside and stand at the entrance of the village, the most luxurious building in the village must be the Land Temple. Such funeral customs have a somewhat superstitious flavor.

Everyone walked through the streets and alleys, and came to the Land Temple in about a quarter of an hour, and looked at the sea of people, and the black pressure was full of heads, men, women, and children.

The crowd sat cross-legged in a circle, folded their hands, and looked reverently at the center of the circle. Four big men carried a sedan chair, the sedan chair was very shabby and simple, and two bamboo poles were tied to a high stool. There was a woman sitting on it, dressed in silk and satin, looking about twenty years old, with a fat head and big ears, and her eyes were narrowed into a slit.

Although the Tang Dynasty was beautiful with fat and plumpness, this one was too plump. Wu Kang was disappointed, this was the worst time that the Seven Fairies were hacked! This one doesn't pee and take photos, and this kind of appearance dares to be called a fairy?

Looking at the sedan chair with disdain, the simple stove made of adobe, the two little ladies were busy, one chopping wood and the other adding stoves. There was a large iron pot on the stove, and green smoke was constantly rising. I looked at the contents of the pot and smelled the familiar fragrance, and I was instantly sure that it was sesame oil.

Now it is called sesame oil, and later it is called sesame oil. Thinking carefully in my mind, it seems that the Tang Dynasty did not have vegetable oils such as soybeans, peanuts, and rapeseeds, only sesame oil. What does the Seven Fairies want to perform, fried twist or fried fritters? There's no one around!

Wu Kang secretly pondered that he had time to go to the countryside to investigate and see if there were soybeans in the Tang Dynasty. If you have it, you will squeeze some soybean oil to eat, and now you eat sesame oil every day, and you will feel distressed like smoke.

The fire became more and more intense, and the oil became hotter and hotter, and gradually boiled. The little lady who chopped wood stood up and took out something from the purse on her waist, which was a Kaiyuan Tongbao. Pinched it in his hand and raised it high, circled around the crowd, and threw the copper coin into the hot oil pot under the puzzled gaze of everyone.

The four big men put down the sedan chair, and the seven fairies finally got down to earth, slowly came to the oil pot, and began her performance. Dancing an unknown dance, twisting the bucket waist, hanging a fat ass, that's quite spicy eyes.

Two minutes later, the terrible dance finally stopped, and the seven fairies rolled up their arms and raised their white arms. Under the curious gaze of the melon-eating crowd, he slowly reached into the oil pot.

The crowd exclaimed, looking at the nervous appearance, it is estimated that their hearts are in their throats. About half a minute or so, the fairy girl raised her hand and took the copper coin. The little lady who chopped wood brought a sackcloth and wiped the oil off her arm.

The people who eat melons exploded, and the scene was a mess, and I don't know who shouted "Fairy Gu manifests". Like a demonic barrier, they raised their arms one after another, shouting "Fairy Gu Manifestation" in unison. Some even got up and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Wu Kang looked at everything in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the hateful feudal superstition, even in the future generations, has the soil to survive. Raising his eyes to look at the center of the circle, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer again, it turns out that this kind of deceptive trick existed in the Tang Dynasty. The oil pot to take money, the fake horse deceived the jade last time, and it has been passed down to future generations, which can be described as a long history!

After the worship was completed, the people who ate melons began to throw money, perhaps for fear of hitting the seven fairies, so they were carefully thrown in.

The Seven Fairies closed their eyes, put their left hand on their navel to the sky, and stood with the five fingers of their right hand together on their chest, babbling and chanting words in their mouths.

The little lady chopping wood came to the center of the crowd, arched her hand around and said, "Fellow faithful believers, the fairy girl is the Seven Fairies descending to earth, and she is the protector of the Nine Heavens Xuannu Seat. According to the decree of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, come to Wuzhou to purify all sentient beings. The worship of believers, build a temple for the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and bless believers without illness and disaster! ”

The little lady who was burning the pot also stood up and picked up the copper coins on the ground, and a big man followed her with a sack. Wu Kang, who was outside the crowd, heard the words "Nine Heavens Xuannu", his face gradually darkened, if he remembered correctly, Chen Shuozhen called himself "Nine Heavens Xuannu descended to earth".

This group of people is not small, they are not liars in the ordinary sense, and nine times out of ten they are Chen Shuozhen's subordinates. Their trip to Wuzhou this time was, first, to demagogue the minds of the people to develop believers, and second, to defraud money to serve as military expenses. This widow Chen is really doing it, isn't Muzhou enough for you to be a scourge, and you went to Wuzhou to be a demon? Hmph, if you dare to stretch out your hand, Ben Shuai will cut off your hand!

Secretly making up his mind, Wu Kang used a glance at Jiang Da Niu. Jiang Daniu understood, and shouted in a loud voice: "Bah! Wuzhou bad guards are handling cases here, and idle people are avoiding! ”

This voice was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the common people finally found the bad guys, and they got up and dodged on both sides, and quickly made a way. The gang of crooks has long since discovered them, and they are busy turning a blind eye. Huang Xiangu recited the scriptures and called out to the girl to stand beside her, and the three men stood by the sedan chair. Those who pick up money pick up money, and those who hold sacks hold sacks.

Wu Kang slowly walked into the circle and raised his foot to step on a copper coin. The little lady was very calm, picked up the copper coin next to her, raised her face and stared at him coldly, with hatred in her eyes.

The little lady is estimated to be less than ten years old, why are her eyes full of hatred, or hatred for the tolerance of the government! Wu Kang thought to himself, it should be that the family is ruined, or he was harmed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there is no hatred in the world for no reason!
