What caught Liu Mang's attention was a few big trees on the shore. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A few trees, very ordinary, very common. However, on the trees, many strips of red cloth were hung.

And under the tree, there are a lot of offerings.

Under a tree, incense smoke fills the air, and some people are kowtowing and worshipping.

It is normal for people to believe in ghosts and gods. However, in the Yishi area, which is across the water, this situation has not been seen.

"Go and ask."

The guards quickly ran back to report: Xie County is haunted, the people are panicking, and they worship trees to drive away ghosts.

The people are foolish and cannot be blamed. Di Renjie has the name of a detective and acts as the county magistrate, why don't you care?

Although it is a talent summoned by himself, there is no guarantee that Di Renjie, who came to the end of the Han Dynasty, is still an authentic "detective".

Liu Mang decided to make a private visit to Weifu and secretly get to know this Di Renjie carefully.

Ordered most of the guards to stay outside the city, Liu Mang only took Gao Pet and two personal guards, changed into civilian clothes, and entered the county seat.

The county seat is not big, and the city is mostly engaged in the business around the salt industry, and there are many shops, but it is also prosperous.

It's just that there are fewer people on the streets.

Many shops have strips of red cloth similar to those on the big trees by the Lianshui River.

Even the ox carts and horse-drawn carts carrying goods are tied with red cloth strips.

Liu Mang and others came to the county office, but were stopped by the errands. "The county order is not here, there is something, come back tomorrow."

"We're in a hurry."

"Urgent? No matter how anxious you are, are you still in a hurry to catch ghosts? The county order has gone to catch the ghost, so let's come back tomorrow. ”

Went to catch ghosts?

This Di Renjie, is it reliable?

Liu Mang had no choice but to find an inn to stay.

The innkeeper was very enthusiastic, and personally took Liu Mang to the clean upper room, and tied a red cloth strip to the door.

"What is this?"

"Hey, nothing, nothing......"

"Shopkeeper, I heard that you are haunted here, but is there such a thing?"

"No, no......" the shopkeeper hesitated.

How could Liu Mang not understand.

In business, I am most afraid of evil. Even if it is haunted, the shopkeeper will not say it directly for fear of affecting the business.

Liu Mang smiled and asked Su Wei to give him more money. "There is no taboo in Xia Bai, even if there are ghosts and gods, it is not taboo, but it is okay to say it."

Liu Mang's bearing was extraordinary, and he rewarded the money, and the shopkeeper said humbly: "It's not a big deal, but in the middle of the night, sometimes there are strange movements." However, there is no need to be afraid. Tie a strip of red cloth to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, how spiritual! ”

"I heard that you went to catch ghosts on behalf of the county order?"

"Yes."

Liu Mang handed over some more money.

The shopkeeper looked at the face of the money, and said helplessly: "Alas, I don't know why, this ghost has been making a lot of trouble recently." Don't hide it from the guest officer, if it was before, our small inn, not to mention the upper room, is a firewood shed, and it is full of people. This haunted thing has no business......

"Shopkeeper, in your opinion, can the county order catch the ghost?"

"I hope you catch it, otherwise this business won't be able to be done." The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, "Alas, this ghost, scared the former county commander alive and sick, resigned and returned to his hometown to recuperate......"

……

The small county town was disturbed by inexplicable "ghosts".

As soon as it was dark, the shops in the city were closed, and the doors and windows were closed.

Liu Mang did not have the habit of going to bed early, it was late at night, and Liu Mang was still reading under the lamp.

"Bang!"

The sudden abnormal noise surprised Liu Mang!

"Bang!"

Another bang!

This time, Liu Mang heard it clearly, it was the sound of an explosion!

In the next room, you can hear the screams of the guests and the crying of babies.

It's really weird!

The sound of the explosion was not strange to Liu Mang. But for ordinary people, it is indeed terrifying!

At the end of the Han Dynasty, although there was gunpowder, the process of gunpowder was not advanced. Now gunpowder can only deflagrate, not explode.

The people had never heard such a strange noise, so it was no wonder that they were afraid.

Judging by the sound, the explosion was outside the city. What's going on?

The explosions sounded only a few times, and in the second half of the night, there was no sound again.

Liu Mang ran around continuously, slept late, and as soon as he lay down, he soon fell asleep.

As soon as he fell asleep, Liu Mang was woken up by the noise.

"Someone."

The high pet came in. "Lord, I've caught a ghost!"

"What? Walk! Check it out! ”

Yesterday, there were few pedestrians on the streets. And this morning, it was already crowded.

The people looked at the city gate and talked about it.

"Hey, I heard I caught a ghost!"

"Yes! I hope it will be peaceful in the future! ”

"Look! Look! Here it comes! ”

At the city gate, several errand servants drove a large cart carrying a large wooden box. On the box, there is a strip of red cloth tied to ward off evil spirits, and a rune paper with strange patterns is pasted.

Next to the car, there were two young people, both in their twenties.

One is dressed in a county official uniform, no need to ask, it must be Di Renjie.

Another young man, carrying a sword, with wide shoulders and a thin waist, and bright eyes, looked like a person who practiced martial arts, and it must be Li Yuanfang!

Li Yuanfang pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand and drove the car with the other to prevent the onlookers from approaching.

Di Renjie was smiling and kept greeting the people on the roadside.

"Di Xiancheng, have you caught a ghost?"

"Of course! This county will make a move, how can you let the ghost escape! Di Renjie confidently pointed to the boxes on the car, as if catching ghosts was a common thing.

Seeing that the people didn't believe it, Di Renjie picked up a wooden stick and knocked on the box on the car.

"Fluttering ......"

In the box, there was a strange noise! Startled, the surrounding people dodged one after another.

"Don't be afraid!" Di Renjie smiled very easily, "After a while, this county will personally do the ghost suppression!" In the future, everyone can sleep in peace and do business with peace of mind! ”

"That's good!" The people cheered, followed the car, and went to the county government to .......

Liu Mang didn't believe that there were ghosts and gods, but he wanted to see what Di Renjie was doing.

Following Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang, the people flocked to the county office.

The big box was carried into the gate of the county office, and Di Renjie ordered that no one should enter the county office.

Li Yuanfang shouted: "The evil ghost is very fierce, and it is easy to be attacked by the evil ghost when it is close!" ”

The people were afraid of evil spirits, and no one dared to provoke them. But they wanted to see how to suppress ghosts, so they all obediently stayed outside the county office, guarding the gate, or holding on to the wall, to see how Di Renjie suppressed ghosts.

Di Renjie asked the officials to retreat, and he tidied up his clothes, spread his hair, washed his face, burned incense and prayed, and was busy.

Di Renjie made a good appearance, and the people were very nervous. For fear that Di Xiancheng would make a mistake, the evil ghost ran out.

Di Renjie took a peachwood sword, saluted the gods, and suddenly shouted: "Disease!" ”

The mahogany sword slashed at the rune paper attached to the wooden box!

"Fluttering ......"

In the wooden box, there was a strange noise.

"Wow......" the people exclaimed.

"Look! The rune paper is bleeding! ”

Sure enough, on the rune paper, there was an obvious blood mark!

"Hurry!"

Di Renjie's peachwood sword came out in a row, and every time the sword was cut down, there was a fluttering sound in the wooden box, and a blood mark appeared on the rune paper!

"Evil spirits are going to run rampant! Yuan Fang, sword slash evil ghosts! ”

"No!"

Li Yuanfang shouted, grabbed the sword in his hand, and stabbed straight towards the wooden box!

"Fluttering ......"

After a strange noise, the wooden box gradually fell silent......

The people didn't dare to come out when they saw it......

A few wisps of dirty blood slowly trickled out of the wooden box......

After a long time, the people erupted in cheers!

"The evil spirit has been suppressed!"

"Woo! It's too peaceful! The people fell to their knees and bowed their heads in prayer to give thanks to Heaven.

Although Liu Mang didn't know what Di Renjie's purpose was, he knew that this was just Di Renjie's trick.

Liu Mangxin said: This guy, if he wants to act, why not act more like it.

Liu Mang was secretly thinking to himself, Di Renjie seemed to know what Liu Mang was thinking, and he really made another move! (To be continued.) )
