Chapter 295: Strange Village

Zhen Mengde was very cooperative, but it was only cooperation, so that he really used his actions to tie up, but he didn't, after solving Li Rizhi's request, he asked people to arrange for Li Rizhi to live in the post house, and then he did what he should do, and he didn't accompany him.

Fortunately, other officials stammered, and Haosheng arranged a sumptuous dinner for Li Rizhi, otherwise Li Rizhi would have to go to the post house to deal with it.

After the officials dispersed, the night was already dark, Li Rizhi entered the room prepared by the post house, and was about to wash up and sleep, but Fu Guibao pushed the door and came in.

Fu Guibao said: "Big brother, I see that there are some problems with the history of the assassination, I chatted with the officials just now, and found that this person is so lucky, but the little official was born to achieve a high position in the history of the assassination, and now is not the time of war, how can he be so promoted, it is simply inexplicable!" ”

Li Ri knew: "I also heard it, Zhen Thorn History should have been pushed up, and then waited for the black cauldron, because the Xiangma here in Yanzhou is always not clean, but after Zhen Thorn Shi took office, the Xiangma has stopped, if it has been like this, then Zhen Thorn History will either be promoted or promoted to the third grade, if he makes Queen Wu happy, maybe he can get a knighthood, so the officials in Yanzhou are red-eyed!" ”

Fu Guibao sighed: "He shouldn't be called Zhenmeng, he should be called really lucky, this luck is so good that I'm jealous, if I can also do it from a small official, then I'm really happy!" ”

"Then you're so happy to change your name in the future!" Li Rizhi smiled, turned to a serious expression, and said, "I suspect that this Zhen Mengde is a bandit leader, he is a robber assassin!" ”

Fu Guibao thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "It seems that this is indeed the case, he has a meritorious role in suppressing bandits, and Shangguan has to use him all the time, but he can't clean it, and his little horses can still make a fortune, he is black and white!" ”

Li Rizhi snorted and said: "It's impossible for so many officials in Yanzhou not to see it, it's just that they want to use this ringing horse leader, thinking that Zhen Mengde will be able to stop a little bit if he becomes a thorn, and he won't be a demon when he seals Zen, hum, this is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, it's really ridiculous!" ”

Fu Guibao said: "Those who see his identity want to use him, and those who don't see it want him to carry the black pot and use him, the officials up and down Yanzhou are not very good!" ”

Li Rizhi sat down at the back of the table and said, "I should report truthfully, tell Chang'an about the situation in Yanzhou, and I will write to Xu Xiang, how to deal with Zhen Mengde and let him make a decision!" ”

He quickly finished writing the letter, put the envelope on fire paint, handed it to Fu Guibao, and said: "Send your servant to deliver the letter, go to the city gate tonight and wait, and when the city gate opens early tomorrow morning, go out immediately, run all the way, wait out of the Yanzhou territory, and then hurry normally!" ”

Fu Guibao took the letter and went out to find a servant to deliver the letter, this letter did not dare to pass through the post station, who knows if there is an eyeliner of a ringing horse in the post station!

Early the next morning, Li Rizhi went to the Assassin's Mansion again, said goodbye to Zhen Mengde, and he wanted to go to Bocheng County to see, which was the end of his trip, and also the starting point of the emperor and Empress Wu to climb Mount Tai, which was the top priority, ranking first among all states and counties.

Zhen Mengde heard Li Ri say that he was going to Bocheng County, frowned and said: "Li Angel is going to Bocheng, you need to be careful of the county order of this county, this person doesn't look like an official, and it's awkward to do things, anyway, be careful yourself!" ”

Li Rizhi immediately surrendered his hand and said, "Thank you Zhen Assassin Shi for telling me, the lower officials will be careful!" Then he resigned from the Assassin's Mansion and rushed out of the city to Bocheng County.

After leaving the city gate, A Yingying abandoned the car and rode a horse, walked side by side with Li Rihe, and asked, "What did Zhen Xiangma say to you!" ”

Li Ri knew: "He asked me to be careful of the county order of Bocheng County, saying that the county order is not like an official, and it is very awkward, maybe they have had some festivals before, I thank him for his reminder, leave quickly, lest he make trouble, after all, I secretly sued him!" ”

Chen Yingying sighed and said: "He said that others don't look like officials, but in fact, he doesn't look like him, he almost wrote three words on his head, robbing the road!" ”

"You can see it, too!" Fu Guibao shouted.

"What do I see?"

"I analyzed it with my eldest brother last night, he may be a ringing horse leader......" He was about to elaborate and show off, but Chen Yingying waved his hand impatiently.

"Does this still need to be analyzed, he looks so ugly, with a fierce energy, don't you see it?"

Li Rizhi thought about it for a while, nodded and said: "It is born from the heart, think about it, Zhen Mengde is indeed vicious, Yingying is not bad!" ”

It is about 200 miles from Yanzhou Prefecture to Bocheng County, because the official roads are newly repaired, which is conducive to the advancement of carriages and horses, Li Rizhi and they hurried to hurry, but they still failed to enter Bocheng County before sunset.

When there were still more than 20 miles away from Bocheng County, Li Rizhi looked at the sun and said: "When we arrive at the county seat, the city gate is closed, we can't spend the night under the wall, so let's find a place to sleep!" ”

The vicinity of Bocheng County can be regarded as densely populated, but after two miles of progress, I saw a large village and town in front, this village and town just look at the north and south of the adobe fence has a small mile, if the thing is the same, then this village and town will have hundreds of households, at least more than a thousand people!

Li Rizhi hit his horse in front of the wall, and saw that although the wall was less than one person high, it was neatly repaired, which showed that the wall was used to prevent wild beasts, not horses, and the security here should be good.

Look over the wall to the village and town, the sky is not completely dark at this time, by the afterglow of the sunset, the situation in the village and town is in full view, the houses inside are all brick houses, and all are independent courtyards, according to the length of the courtyard wall, most of them should be two courtyards, and even three courtyards.

Such a beautiful and rich village, Li Rizhi walked all the way, he has never seen the same, the village he sees will always have rich and poor, which will all be rich households, from the appearance, all the people in this village and town are rich households, can live in two or three blue brick houses, which is not a rich household!

Li Rizhi rode around the wall, and after a while, he arrived at the door, and saw that the gate was three people high, very magnificent, with several lanterns hanging on the left and right, illuminating the door, and the two gates were closed, but there was still a small door open on the gate on the left, the small door was open, and there was no gatehouse at the door, and it was empty.

Li Rizhi was even more surprised in his heart, he got off the horse, looked inside the gate, and saw a straight avenue, enough for two large carriages to run in parallel, the road was paved with stone slabs, on both sides of the road, every distance of about a zhang, there would be a straight wooden pillar, and a lit lantern was hung on the pillar, which was a first-class luxury street.

However, there was still no one on the street, only the rustle of the wind and the slight shaking of the lanterns, as if this was a ghost village!

Li Rizhi only felt his scalp tingle, this kind of strange thing happened to him for the first time, it was difficult to meet a ghost just after dark, this ghost is inevitably a little more powerful!

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi both followed from behind, and they also jumped off their horses and looked into the door!

Fu Guibao said strangely: "This village feels gloomy, could it be a ghost village?" As soon as it gets dark, the ghost dares to come out, it must be a powerful ghost with a high degree of Taoism, the person is fierce as a man, the ghost is a strong woman, presumably the ghosts in a village are all female ghosts! ”

Cheng Zizi didn't have so much nonsense from him, he pressed the knife on his waist and said, "Senior brother, I'll go in and have a look!" With that, he lifted his feet and entered the gate.

Fu Guibao nodded behind him and said, "As soon as he heard that there were all female ghosts inside, he was itchy in his heart, and he went in in a hurry, and he didn't want to think about it, female ghosts are not all beautiful, and there are also ugly ones!" ”

Chen Yingying's carriage followed, she got out of the car and hid behind Li Rizhi, tilted her head and poked out, looking inside the gate, and her attendants also surrounded her.

I saw that on the empty street, Cheng Zi was walking alone, and he walked out for more than ten feet, then he stopped, turned around, and arrived at the gate again.

Cheng Zizai said: "Only there are lights on the street, the small courtyards on both sides of the road are uninhabited, there is no light, there are all empty houses, this village and town makes people feel very slight!" ”

Li Rizhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Since I am an inspector, I always have to go in and investigate strange things, Yingying, you are outside...... Well, no, let's act together, not disperse! ”

He entered the gate, and the crowd followed him, and walked out of the street not far away, when suddenly, in a dark alley, there was a rustling sound, the sound came from far and near, and the momentum was extremely fast!

Li Rizhi immediately turned around and drew his sword from the ground, while Fu Guibao Cheng was at ease and they all drew their swords, and the sword light and sword shadow all pointed to the black alley!
