Husu City is a small city, its prosperity is difficult to reach Chang'an, Luoyang, and not as good as the same in Hebei, Cang, but as a city, wine shop teahouse, flower street and willow lane, it has everything.

The flower street and willow lane in Husu City are concentrated in Yancuifang, and there are more than ten large and small green buildings in Yancuifang, and Yanshuang Building is one of the leaders. There is a prostitute named Lan Yun in Yanshuang Building, she has bright eyes, can sing and dance, and is very popular with songs, and is extremely sought after by the literati and writers of Husu County.

However, just last night, Lan Yun and her lover were greedy for a night's fun, and they both died in bed, and many people heard the screams, but the last scene they witnessed was a terrible monster that looked like a demon and fled through the window covered in blood.

Last night's supernatural tragedy directly led to the desertion of Yanshuang Building today, after all, in the place of murder, except for those who are brave and not afraid of death, there are not many guests willing to stay, after all, no one knows what the monster is, and no one knows if it will come again.

In a boudoir on the second floor of the Yanshuang Building, the fake mother of the Yanshuang Building, Zhang's mother, was soothing the back of a young girl who was twenty-eight years old, with delicate black hair and white skin like snow, and was crying earnestly. (Bustards are associated with prostitutes, starting with Song Quan's "Mr. Danqiu's Treatises" in the Ming Dynasty: "The old man of prostitutes is called Bustards.") The bustard is large like a goose, has no hind toes, and has tiger stripes. Lustful and insatiable, the birds seek it. "The Tang Dynasty should call this kind of professional a fake mother, a fake mother, and if there is a mistake in the previous text, I will revise it. I didn't find out how the fake mother called herself in the Tang Dynasty, but she still used the common Qinglou mother in film and television dramas. ）

"Man'er, you have to mourn, you are still young, don't cry and break your body!"

"Mom, I have been by my sister's side since I was a child, and I have never left her for a day, it was my sister who worked hard to raise me!"

"Silly Nizi, although your sister is gone, but your mother is still there, this big Yanshuang Building, as long as your mother is there, no one can treat you badly!"

"Sister-sister, even if she dies at the end of her life, or dies of illness, I won't be so sad, but she really died too miserably!"

"Hey, it's not, that's also my mother's good daughter, just like this, anyone will be unable to get over it!"

"Whew-"

"Good daughter, don't cry, don't cry, I really hurt my mother! Don't worry, your mother will take care of you like your sister in the future, and you will be the pillar of our Yanshuang Building in the future. ”

"Mom, can you mention these things for the time being, my sister's bones are not cold yet!"

"Mom is wrong, mom is wrong, good daughter, mom just wants you not to be too sad!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Mother Zhang, Mother Zhang!" ”

Mother Zhang frowned slightly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Mother Zhang, Cui County Ling and Mr. Xie are here!"

Zhang's mother was in good spirits, thinking that the business was so deserted, and it was really rare that there were still distinguished guests coming to the door, so she hurriedly sorted out her clothes and wanted to go out to greet her.

But she thought about it and felt that it was wrong, except for the occasional entertainment, the two were not very polite, that Cui County Ling was afraid of the inside, that Mr. Xie was a handsome offspring, and I heard that he had lived alone for a long time, but he was not a romantic person, how many girls in the building had admired him for a long time but begged him not to come - suddenly, Zhang's mother slapped her forehead, and only then did she wake up, in order to make herself forget the terrifying picture of last night, she has been forcing herself to focus on how to cheer up the Yanshuang Building, Unexpectedly, he forgot to go to the yamen to beat the drum in the early morning to report the case.

"Didn't the yamen send someone to investigate the case during the day, so many people saw it with their own eyes, do they have to determine that someone committed murder?"

"I don't know about this, Mother Zhang, Cui County Ling brought a bunch of Wuhou, and only said that he would search this place from the beginning!"

Hearing this, Zhang's mother didn't mutter much in her heart, but no matter what, she could only hurriedly go out to greet her.

After Zhang's mother closed the door and left, the girl was still crying on the bed, but soon a voice suddenly came from behind her: "Man'er! ”

"Sister—sister?" Hearing this voice, the girl's body trembled violently, and she quickly got up from the bed and looked back tremblingly.

At the same time, Cui Shen and Xie Qiao led more than a dozen martial artists into the front hall of Yanshuang Building.

Tonight, the guests of Yanshuang Building are very scarce, and most of them are frequent visitors who live here, so there are many girls who are idle, and they have gathered at the railing on the first or second floor to look here.

There are a few of those martial marquis who are frequent visitors here, but none of the girls dare to shout, and when they see the people from the yamen with such a look, they know that it is impossible for them to come here to have fun, it can only be for the case of Lan Yun last night.

"Why hasn't the fake mother come out yet, and when do you want Cui Xianling to wait?" A martial marquis scolded loudly.

"Oops, the slave is here, the county order is angry, the county order is angry!" Mother Zhang rushed all the way down from the second floor, tired and a little out of breath, she gently patted her chest with one hand, and the large semicircular whiteness that appeared from the bandeau of the attracted the attention of many Wuhou.

Cui Shen was unmoved, and asked, "You are the fake mother here?" ”

Mother Zhang's smile was like a flower: "The slave is exactly!" The slave name is Zhang Yanniang, I have seen Cui County Ling, I have seen Mr. Xie! ”

Cui Shen stiffened his face and said, "You just died here, why are you still smiling so happily?" ”

Zhang's mother smiled stiffly, originally she was a professional smile, no matter what her mood was, it was already a muscle reaction, but in Cui Shen's eyes, she was a little unaccustomed to it, just because it was too kitsch.

"Cui County Order, you shouldn't be a suspicious slave, right? The slave has nothing to do with that incident, so many people have seen it with their own eyes, it is really a monster! Zhang's mother suddenly became nervous, in fact, no matter how hard she held on, this bizarre and terrifying murder still left a lot of shadows on her heart.

"The official didn't say it had anything to do with you!" Cui Shen snorted coldly, "What is the ins and outs of this matter, the official knows it clearly in his heart, you just need to listen to the official's orders, call out all the women and guests in the building, and the official will let Wuhou search this place from beginning to end, and the rest has nothing to do with you!" ”

Cui Shen's tone is aggressive, don't look at his usual kindness, but as a child of a family, he is very proud in his heart, if he usually acts on the scene out of official business, he may still be able to treat these fireworks women politely, but at this moment, he has never taken the other party in his eyes for a moment, so he directly gave orders.

Zhang's mother didn't dare to say much, so she could only do it according to Cui Shen's request, and after a while, most of the women in Yanshuang Building gathered in the front hall. For those guests who were working for a while and were greedy for pleasure, she had no choice but to let the waiters in the building lead the martial marquis to knock on the door one by one.

After a cup of tea, Cui Shen looked at everyone in the hall with an aggressive gaze: "Who else hasn't arrived?" ”

"Back to the county order, there are still a few houses on the second floor that have not been reached, and a few brothers have already gone!"

Cui Shen nodded: "Then wait a little longer!" ”

In front of a room in the deepest part of the east side of the second floor, Yiwu Hou asked the waiter, "Is there anyone in this room?" ”

"This house lives in the manniangzi, she is the sister of Yun Niangzi, because of the pain of losing her sister, she has been crying for a whole day, and she doesn't think about tea and dinner, and Zhang's mother has persuaded her for a long time!"

"Call her out!"

The waiter nodded, and knocked on the door: "Man Niangzi, come out, the yamen wants to investigate Yun Niangzi's case, and Mother Zhang also asked us to gather in the front hall." ”

However, after knocking for a while, there was no movement in the house, and Wu Hou was impatient: "Is there anyone in the end?" If I don't come out again, I'm going to have to break in! ”

The waiter was a little embarrassed: "Don't be impatient, the man is weak, maybe she is tired of crying and has fallen asleep, I will knock her louder to wake her up." He raised his hand to knock on the door again, but at this time, the door creaked, and it was opened, and a girl, Shi Shiran, walked out of the house.

The Wuhou were stunned, and saw that the woman who came out of this was called a flower and moon appearance, just as the so-called eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, with a pink face, red lips and beautiful flowers, and its temperament is even more amazing, just like coming out of a painting.

This kind of appearance and temperament is only comparable to the fox demon who temporarily lives in Cui County's mansion, but that one is a demon, but this one in front of him is a mortal, how can this not be amazing?

"This-this lady, dare to ask Fang's name?" A martial artist stammered a little.

"The little woman's surname is Lan Man'er." The beauty replied softly, with a hint of tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.

In the face of such a delicate beauty, even Wuhou couldn't bear to blame him, and they all said kindly: "Ladies mourn!" However, Cui County has an order, and it is necessary to gather a group of people in the front hall first, and the lady must not be lazy! ”

The beauty nodded lightly, and glanced at the watery eyes at the talking Wuhou, who suddenly felt that his breathing was short.

Surrounded by the similar protection of Wuhou, the beauty walked towards the corridor, but the waiter who led the way before couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in her heart: "It's strange, the man lady didn't eat or drink this day, how can she still be so radiant, and she is still in the mood to change her clothes?" More importantly, why is she so much more beautiful than before? But I can't tell you the difference! ”

The waiter was a clever man, and he seemed to smell a strange smell, a faint, faint smell of blood mixed with fat powder, and this smell came from the beauty's room. There was a trace of curiosity in the waiter's arms, he wanted to stay and go into the house to have a look, but suddenly a martial marquis turned around and shouted: "Wu Na Xiao, what are you doing when you stay there, why don't you go down with me and the others!" ”

"Oh, here it is!" When the waiter heard the scolding, he had to hurry up and hurried downstairs with those martial marquis.

Cui Shen looked at the people coming downstairs, and his eyes suddenly noticed the beauty in the center of everyone, and he secretly exclaimed in his heart: "I can't imagine that there is such a beauty in my Husu County?" ”

Mother Zhang seemed to notice Cui Shen's eyes, and she said busily: "Cui County Order, this is my daughter Lan Man'er, and Lan Yun's own sister, she has just turned sixteen years old, and she hasn't left the cabinet yet!" ”

Cui Shen's eyes had returned to normal, and he only said lightly: "What are you doing with so much?" The official asked you, are you all together? ”

"Qi—Qi!"

"Well, it's good to be together. The Wuhou listened to the order and ordered to go down, everyone present was not allowed to move around here first, and then searched the inside and outside of this Yanshuang Building, even the firewood room, kitchen and thatched room must be carefully searched, and a dead corner must not be missed! ”

"Yes!"

Cui Shen acted resolutely, and the martial marquis below did not dare to slack off, and began to act one after another.

Zhang's mother was puzzled: "Cui County Order, everyone is already here, what else are you searching?" However, Cui Shen only glared at her lightly, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

Half an hour later, the martial marquis came back one by one to make a difference, but when they saw Cui Shen, they shook their heads one after another, and Cui Shen's face became more and more bad. At this time, Xie Qiao stood up and whispered to Cui Shen: "Dong Weng, since Chenghuang dreamed of you and said that the Rakshasa ghost lurked here to obtain the skin, then we can't rule out a big possibility, that is, the Rakshasa ghost may have succeeded." Therefore, I suspect that it may even be lurking among those present at this moment, and this must be guarded against! ”

Cui Shen suddenly brightened up when he heard this, and said with a slight smile: "Ziping, fortunately, you came with me this time and can make up for my shortcomings!" So, he said loudly: "Everyone present, listen, you don't have to panic, this official is here tonight to destroy the evil demon that harms people, you just need to listen to this official's orders!" ”

When his words fell, the corners of Lan Man'er's mouth in the crowd couldn't help but show a slight smile, and a martial artist beside her couldn't help but be stunned when she saw it, and hurriedly said: "The lady should indeed be happy to hear this, I waited for the county order this time to eliminate the demon that killed your sister, and it can be regarded as revenge for the lady!" ”

"Thank you Cui County Order, thank you Cha Langjun!" The corners of Lan Man'er's mouth were hooked even more, and she seemed to be very happy.

Cui Shen took out the treasure mirror from his arms at this time, and he raised his voice: "This official orders you to wait, and walk up to this official in groups of five, and let this official use this mirror to take a look!" ”

Lan Man'er showed a little suspicion in her eyes at this time, but the smile on the corner of her mouth was still there.

It didn't take long for Cui Shen to take a look at four groups of people with a treasure mirror, and there had been no disappearance yet, standing in front of him at this time was the fifth group of people, and the two men on the far left were dressed as guests in the building, and the other three were all women in the building, and the beautiful Lan Man'er was the one standing on the far right.

Cui Shen picked up the treasure mirror in his hand as usual, and suddenly, a miserable scream sounded in front of him, accompanied by a burst of smoke and stench, and everyone in the building opened their eyes wide.
