As soon as the county magistrate of Wannian County heard that such a thing had happened under his rule, it might be related to monsters, so he hurriedly asked people to investigate.

In this day and age, most people still want to believe in ghosts and gods.

Although the old man said that it was estimated that it was a thief, no one can guarantee that it was not a monster who did it.

If the youkai did it, then something would be a big deal.

The kingdom is about to die, and there will be demons.

If there is really a so-called monster, or if the rumors about the monster are used by some well-intentioned people, it is estimated that it will be another thing that shakes the country's foundation.

Zhong Ling is still very concerned about this.

She is not only the fast catcher of Wannian County, but also Li Tai's woman!

With a few people, they rode quickly towards the place where the village was.

The cloak of justice, raised in the wind, was so conspicuous in the sun.

Finally, I came to the small village.

At this moment, the small mountain village seems to be a little lively, especially outside the chaimen, where the owner of the chicken theft incident occurred, a group of women are whispering.

Something like this happened suddenly in a quiet village, and it soon spread throughout the village.

People put down their farm work and came to the door of the owner's house to inquire for news.

The relationship is good, and at this moment he is entering the door and comforting the female owner.

Outside the firewood gate, a group of women were talking to each other.

"Have you heard? Dalang's chickens were all stolen. ”

"Isn't it? The whole village heard the stupid second girl crying in the morning. ”

"The two dozen chickens were stolen by thieves, and I wanted to borrow one a few days ago, but she didn't give it, now it's okay, it's cheaper for others."

"I heard that there was a fox spirit in the house, and the fox spirit likes to eat chicken the most, I don't think it's someone who stole it, it's a monster."

"I think it's also a monster, it's a weasel demon, and this weasel demon also likes to eat chicken."

"After eating the chicken, it's time to eat people, right?"

"What's that going on? Why don't you hide for a while? ”

“……”

If they can have a handful of pumpkin seeds in their hands, it is estimated that they can talk until dark.

When you see someone coming, get out of the way.

Under the leadership of the middle-aged man, Zhong Ling led people into the chaimen.

"Who is this? It's majestic! ”

"I heard that it is the head catcher of Wannian County."

"Isn't that an official errand? Can a woman be an official in these years? ”

"Who knows? There are more nobles in Chang'an City, and it is not easy for one or two who have the right to make themselves officials? ”

"That's right, but after becoming an official, I'm afraid that no one will dare to marry."

"Heh, who would dare to marry such a woman? If you don't agree with each other, you will lock up your own man. ”

"It's better to be a woman like us, who knows how to teach husbands and children from birth."

“……”

The women poked their heads into the room, not forgetting to talk to the people around them.

Seeing someone come in, several people in the house who were comforting the woman hurriedly walked out and took the lead.

Zhong Ling walked in, his eyes began to search around, and several catchers around him also followed.

But after looking at it for a while, they couldn't help but shake their heads.

"The site has been vandalized, and it's hard for us to find a trace of it from the scene." A catcher couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Yes." Zhong Ling nodded in agreement and said, "It seems that this matter should not be done by a monster." ”

"Oh? How so? One of the catchers couldn't help asking.

"Whose monster will help close the chicken cage after taking the chicken? This monster is too considerate, isn't it? Zhong Ling smiled, then looked at the woman and asked, "What did you find that the chicken is missing?" ”

"Ten days ago, by the way, it was the day when there was a solar eclipse that day." Then the woman hurriedly said, "At noon that day, I saw that the chicken was crowing too much, and I fed the chickens, and then I found that the two chickens were missing, and then there was an eclipse......

The woman hastened to tell the story.

Zhong Ling and the others stood next to them and listened carefully.

"My poor chicken, my poor chicken, my life is so miserable, I finally raised a few chickens...... After saying this, the woman began to cry again.

The people next to the crying couldn't help frowning slightly.

The middle-aged man hurriedly comforted him again.

"In this way, this thief still has a certain pattern, he comes to steal chickens once every three days." Zhong Ling smiled coldly and said, "What unusual things have happened in your village recently?" ”

"Yes, yes!" A man next to him spoke.

"Oh? What's the matter? Zhong Ling looked at him and asked.

"Ghost Fire!" He said with a look of fear on his face.

"Ghost fire?" Zhong Ling's brows furrowed slightly.

"Yes, Ghost Fire! Not far from that graveyard, I've seen it several times, and it's over there! The man pointed not far from the firewood gate.

"Huh?" Zhong Ling's brows furrowed even tighter.

"There will be a ghost fire here? Is it really haunted? A catcher next to him couldn't help but say, but there was not much fear.

You must know that they followed Zhong Kui and His Royal Highness King Wei to fight the legendary zombies.

So, the hell or something, it's not scary.

"Whether it's really haunted, or if someone is doing it, we'll find out later." Zhong Ling smiled coldly.

Although she also believed in ghosts and gods, she didn't quite believe that they were done by ghosts.

If ghosts are so easy to encounter, have all the people in the Tang Dynasty seen ghosts?

Led by such a man, she came to the place that the man said.

Not far away, I saw a lot of graves, and the cemetery here is quite close to the village.

But also, everyone lives here, and there are dead people in the house, and they are basically buried in the ground of their own homes, and over time, there are more graves.

I saw that there was a small bulging mound on the ground, and there was something black in the mound.

He took out his saber and dug into the mound of dirt, and the black charcoal and some unburned sticks of wood came into view, including some charred chicken bones.

"This is a ghost fire, a lot of ghost fire." Zhong Ling's heart was finally settled.

The ghost fire from there, this is clearly a human fire!

Since it's human, things are much easier.

"Headcatcher, look." At this moment, a catcher picked up a copper button from the ground and handed it to Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling took the button and smiled slightly.

"I think I already know who stole the chicken." Zhong Ling smiled and said.

This style of copper buckle is the only one in the whole Datang!

Others may not know, but she knows it clearly.

Then, the crowd began to search around the villa.

It's a new month, and I ask for everyone's strong support~~
