Let Wen Hao smile: "Don't be afraid, we are holding lanterns and torches, and the ghosts are not leading, but the Taoist chief, you have to be careful, you have caught so many ghosts, they are likely to be angry with you, and they will come to trouble you."

At this moment, Lao Dao suddenly stared at the surface of the lake and screamed in horror: "Ah" there are ghosts! Let me go! Let me go!" What the hell"! There are ghosts"! Mom, help," under the frightened struggle, the Dao crown also fell. The bun was scattered, and the gray beard was shaking.

Xue Xiu'er and the others wore gas masks and looked around in panic, but they didn't see any abnormal changes, and they looked at this old Taoist strangely

At this moment, this old way has been frightened. His two arms were grabbed by Du Wenhao and Stupid Fat respectively, and he couldn't break free, his feet were hanging in the air, and his eyes were wide open, staring at the lake, screaming in horror, and his whole body trembled like chaff. Immediately, everyone smelled a foul smell, and it turned out that Lao Dao was so frightened that he was incontinent.

Du Wenhao laughed and took a gas mask to put on him, and after a while, Lao Dao screamed and screamed, and then stopped, panting heavily.

Du Wenhao said: "You old Taoist pretending to be a ghost, I can't imagine that I will be scared by ghosts and gods, which can be regarded as a circular retribution!" I'm warning you. As soon as I tear off this mask from your mouth, you'll see the ghost again, and if you don't want to be scared to death, just be honest! Where is my sister?

Lao Dao gasped and rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. has a good spell, Lao Dao is convinced." I "boom, I really don't know where she went" spared her life.

"How dare you quibble? Well, I'll expose your tricks first! Set off fireworks".

Wu Cong took out a firework from his arms, lit it, and when he stretched it out in the air, he heard a bang, and a flame rushed into the air like a meteor, and bloomed into colorful flowers in the night sky.

Soon, shouts rang out all around the house, and countless lanterns and torches appeared. Let's rush to the side of the small lake.

Du Wenhao ordered Lao Dao to go up to the pavilion on the hill, first uncover Lao Dao's gas mask, and when he saw that he had nothing to do, he asked everyone to take off the gas mask.

Looking down from the hill at Jin's countless lanterns and torches illuminating the haunted house, Jin Yuan heard a sharp scolding: "Good boy dares to pretend to be a ghost and scary!" Don't move"! Be honest"! Boom, from a distance, it looks like someone is arresting someone.

After a while, which lanterns and torches avoided the lake and gradually came to the bottom of the hill, and the first one who was Du Wenhao's father-in-law, Pang Jinghui, gradually stepped forward and said with a smile: "Wenhao, you are right, sure enough, there are many people who pretend to be ghosts, and they have all been caught!" Bring it here".

Catch Kuai and Minzhuang brought up more than a dozen people from the bottom of the hill and bombarded one of them, "It is Qiao Yusheng, who claimed to be caught by a ghost in a dream, and several men and women, a few of them are wearing long black robes, but they have no heads!" frightened Pang Yuqin and the other women.

The crowd quickly tore off their black robes, and then they realized that they were holding the long black robes on their heads with bamboo poles. It looks like it has no head. The women were angry and funny.

More than a dozen catchers and minzhuang, holding some paper shooters, came over and threw them on the ground with a smile.

Pang Jinghui asked sharply: "Who told you to pretend to be a ghost here?"

Those who were arrested all stared at the white-bearded old man and said, "It's him!"

Du Wenhao glanced at Qiao Yusheng: "Young Master Qiao, did you dream that a female ghost would catch you today?"

Qiao Yusheng's face turned pale: "Mr. Du, those are all let us do by this old way, all of this is a scam set up by him, so as to cheat people out of money."

Du Wenhao turned his head and asked Lao Dao: "Now that everyone has obtained stolen goods, do you still want to quibble?" Tell me, where is my sister?

Lao Dao collapsed on the ground: "I" I really don't know, she was in the maple tree by the lake last night. After encountering a ghost, she ran away, and our people bumped into ghosts around to scare her, originally trying to scare her into stunning. I'm trying to cheat you out of money, but she's running too fast. And the martial arts are very high, our people did not dare to approach at all, she ran south, and we did not catch up with "Boom."

Pang Jinghui interjected: "That's right, when I caught these people just now, I already asked where Shopkeeper Lin was, and they said the same

Du Wenhao was disappointed, and he raised his eyes to look south. I wish I could have clairvoyance and ears. Find Lin Qingdai's whereabouts

Xue Xiu'er asked: "Brother, since the ghosts are all pretended by them, how did this old man get scared just now?" Did he really see a ghost just now?

Lao Dao hurriedly said: "There are really ghosts!" It's right on that lake! It's true!

Hearing his terrible voice, everyone's hearts were cold. Look at the dark lake.

Du Wenhao said: "There are no ghosts in the world. There was a reason why those people saw ghosts by the lake. You may not have noticed just now, but in the middle of the night it was near the lake with the small courtyard of the lattice tree. If there are bubbles that are sprinkled and bubbled out, that's ghosts."

The people were puzzled and honored him.

Du Wenhao said: "That's it, let's do an experiment and it will be clear" Du Wenhao 7 quickly waited for a few catchers to put on gas masks. Wear some for Lao Dao and Qiao Yusheng. They escorted them to the lake, and the two of them were banged back to back and then removed their masks

Soon, both men by the lake were terrified. There is a ghost gold screaming desperately, and the voice is terrible. After a while, the two of them were so frightened that they passed out, but the gas mask hunters who were next to them were fine.

When the two of them were brought up the hill, they were both paralyzed on the ground in fright, and it took a long time to recover.

Du Wenhao pointed to the small lake at the bottom of the mountain and said, "The bubbles coming out of the lake should be some kind of gas that can make people hallucinate, and these bubbles did not appear during the day and night when we came. I paid attention to the surface of the lake, and when I got there, bubbles appeared, so I guessed that there was some kind of hallucinogenic gas coming out of the bottom of the lake intermittently and regularly, and this interval was just the time to care.

Du Wenhao pointed to the surrounding terrain and continued: "This gas is similar to some kind of miasma, booming in low-lying places, boom, this small lake is relatively high on all sides, but the small courtyard by the lake is the lowest. So this hallucinogenic gas was deposited around the small courtyard, and the couple went to the lake to vomit and smell this hallucinogenic gas, so they hallucinated and saw ghosts, but the old lady Pu and her family, who were far away, did not see ghosts, because they didn't smell this smell."

Lao Dao hung his head and said, "A few years ago. Mr. Joe came to me and said that his house was haunted. At that time, it was his son Qiao Yusheng who lived by the lake, and Qiao Yusheng was haunted, and Qiao Yusheng was scared to death, and the old man asked me to help catch the ghost, so I did a ritual by the lake, and gradually it turned out to be useless, and then it was still haunted. A few servants were scared to death, and after Master Qiao moved his family away, this place was conveniently deserted. I've learned that ghosts only appear when they care. It doesn't appear during the day and other hours, so I thought I could use it to pretend to be a high-ranking person to make money. I found someone who looked a little like him, pretending to be Qiao Yusheng, and found a few people to help pretend to be a ghost and set up a game to cheat money.

"How did you come up with the idea of lying to me?

"I heard that Mr. Du, you sold 100,000 taels of silver with a prescription, and I know that you have money and you have not been in the capital for a long time, so you shouldn't know about the Qiao family's ghost house, so I set up a bureau to deceive you

"You tell me what happened

"I first asked the fake Qiao Yusheng to go to your pharmacy a few times to see a doctor, and said that he was scratched by a ghost, but in fact, it was our people who caught him and made up a slender ghost story to arouse your curiosity, we have people in front of and behind your house, so Sister Ling followed Qiao Yusheng to Qiao's compound and Bang We already know. Deliberately led her to a haunted small courtyard by the lake, wanting her to see a ghost, the first time she was not fooled, only observed from a distance. The second time I was fooled, after the time came to the back of the yard to put gold on the tree, our people left under the pretext of leaving gradually, she followed Qiao Yusheng when she went out, and saw a ghost, and our people pretended to be a headless ghost to scare her, trying to scare her unconscious, but it didn't work, and she also escaped, we thought she was going back to your Wuweitang, and then the person who was squatting said that she didn't go back to the pharmacy, so I took this opportunity to lie to you to do things to exorcise ghosts, and I didn't expect to be seen through by you

Du Wenhao said: "Take us to the last place you saw my sister last night!" Fast".

Pang Jinghui ordered Lao Dao, fake Qiao Yusheng and others to be arrested quickly, and asked them to identify the last place where they saw Lin Qingdai. It was far away from the place where she had one of her embroidered shoes during the day, in a barren meadow.

Du Wenhao asked the catchers and the people to start lining up in a long line, holding lanterns for a little bit of carpet rope. Finally, in an inconspicuous grass, a well appeared!

Although this wellhead is still relatively large, it is submerged in the tall weeds, and it can't be seen at all until it is near, because this Qiao family compound is too big, although it took a lot of Kaifeng Mansion to catch fast and Minzhuang yesterday to carry out a clumsy search, but it still seems that there are not enough people, and many places have not been carefully searched. During the day, they focused on searching for the place where the embroidered shoes and the current blade cut off the branches, but they didn't expect the boom, and Lin Qingdai ran with all her strength at that time. The degree is very fast, and she ran out of dozens of zhang in a blink of an eye, so the place where she fell into the dry well was already far away from the place where she used the short blade to slash and run away from the embroidered shoes, and Du Wenhao and they couldn't find it during the day.

Du Wenhao lay at the mouth of the well and called loudly, but there was no answer inside, and the well was too deep to see the bottom of the bombardment well.

A circle of cow tendon ropes was found next to the well, and a bucket was tied to one end. Apparently it was used to carry water in the past. Although after a few years, the cow tendon rope is still very tough.

Du Wenhao took a small clod of soil and threw it into the well. He listened carefully, but he couldn't hear the sound of water, and he was sure that it was a dry well without saying a word, so he wrapped the cow tendon rope around his waist.

Pang Yuqin hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll go down the well to take a look, boom, I'm worried that Sister Qingdai has fallen in.
