The City God's Temple is still bleak, Su Wuming pointed to the tributes on the desk, and said: "Let's see, these tributes are obviously eaten by people, and according to rumors, ghosts can't eat unless they burn things, which is why when going to the grave, the juniors often have to burn paper money for the elders, and now these tributes have tooth marks and nail marks, will this be eaten by ghosts?" ”

In fact, what Su Wuming said is something that can be seen at a glance, but the children of an official eunuch like Nangong Yan, where do they know the rumors, but after Su Wuming said this, she understood, and after she understood, she was a little puzzled and asked: "Since the person last night is not a ghost, then who is he, why did he come to this City God Temple?" ”

Su Wuming's brows condensed slightly, there was only one question he could answer, that was that person was hungry, so he came here to find food, but as for who he was, he didn't know.

And when they left the City God Temple, they didn't care much about this matter, after all, in this world, there are many people who can't eat because of poverty and other reasons, and they can help when they meet them, but they can't meet them, even if they have the heart to help the world, they are helpless.

The matter seemed to be over, but just two days after that incident, someone said that they had seen the lonely ghost, of course, the current Su Wuming and they all knew that it was a person.

That person appeared again, why did he appear, was he hungry again?

In a few days, Su Wuming heard the news of this person twice, which made Su Wuming suddenly interested in this person, he wanted to find this person, and then investigate what was going on with him.

Encounter is fate, Su Wuming informed everyone of his thoughts, and everyone readily agreed, after all, they have been very bored in the past few days, and they faintly feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems, because it is reported that the person who saw the lonely ghost this time is the Cheng family in Qiantang County, the Cheng family can be regarded as a first-class rich family in Qiantang County, and the restaurants opened are almost all over the south of the Yangtze River, it can be said that the Cheng family is the only one who has opened a restaurant and has a family of more than 10,000 yuan.

Even if the lonely ghost was hungry, he would never dare to break into Cheng's house to steal something to eat, but he just broke in, and this matter had to be suspicious.

The news of seeing the lonely ghost soon spread throughout Qiantang County, and the people were panicked, for fear that one night, the lonely ghost would run to his home; In addition, there are some rumors in Qiantang County, saying that this lonely ghost can't go back after coming out of hell on the night of Halloween, and he can't be reincarnated, he wants to go back to hell to be reincarnated, he must find a substitute for the dead ghost, and now, he is looking for a substitute for the dead ghost!

As soon as this rumor came out, the entire Qiantang County set off a huge Lang, some worried people did not dare to go out at night, and they had to find someone to accompany them when they went out during the day.

When Su Wuming decided to go to Cheng's house to inquire about some things, Qian Sheng hurriedly ran over, this time he was really in a hurry, he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't care about saluting after seeing Su Wuming, and said again and again: "Master Su, this is ...... Have you heard about this haunted thing in Qiantang County? ”

"I heard about it, but the official didn't believe it, why did Lord Qian come here for this rumor?"

"Master Su, this ...... I can't believe it, and now the whole Qiantang County has spread it, saying...... said that the lonely ghost wants to find someone to be a substitute for the dead ghost, for this matter, my Qiantang County is no longer peaceful, Master Su, you are telling the case, you can find a way to let the ghost leave Qiantang County quickly! ”

Seeing that Qian Sheng was so superstitious, Su Wuming smiled coldly: "Lord Qian also said just now, this official is good at judging cases, but it is a ghost, what can Lord Ben do?" ”

At this time, Qian Sheng had calmed down a lot, and after listening to Su Wuming's words, he immediately noticed that what he said just now was a little wrong, so he saved again and again: "Lord Su is angry, but if this matter is not resolved, I am afraid that this Qiantang County will never have peace, Lord Su is staying in Qiantang County now, and I ask Lord Su to help the officials!" ”

This rumor continues to spread, it is indeed a little inappropriate, and now many people are in the mood to do business because they are afraid of becoming the ghost of the dead, and sometimes they don't go out all day, so if it goes on, the whole Qiantang County will not become a ghost town?

Although he couldn't get used to Qian Sheng's inaction, but for the sake of the people of Qiantang County, Su Wuming still had to investigate the matter, he glanced at Qian Sheng, sighed slightly, and said: "Okay, this matter will be investigated clearly, but it's you, Lord Qian, if possible, try to send someone to patrol the night, maybe you can catch that person." ”

"Master Su means that it's not a ghost at all, but a person?"

Before Su Wuming could speak, Tang Xiong had already preemptively told him what he had found in the City God Temple that day, and after he said this, Qian Shengxin relaxed, and it was only at this time that he remembered to wipe his sweat, and when he wiped his sweat, the sweat was already cold.

"Master Su is willing to investigate this matter, and the lower official is relieved, since it is a person, the lower official will order him to go down, he must be found, and Qiantang County will be peaceful!"

"It's okay to find that person, but don't be rude to him, since he steals food, he is also a miserable person."

"Master Su said so, and the lower officials did it!"

After chatting with Qian Sheng, Su Wuming and the others immediately rushed to Cheng's mansion.

The Cheng family is very rich, and the mansion is even more surprisingly big, according to Su Wuming's temporary understanding, at this time the head of the Cheng family is Cheng Yu, the old lady Cheng Yu, this Cheng Yu was just a guy in a restaurant in Qiantang County decades ago, and then he got an opportunity to have a good thing with the daughter of the boss of the restaurant, because he was afraid that the ugliness of the family would be publicized, the owner of the restaurant had to agree to the matter of the two of them, and let Cheng Yu be the second shopkeeper of the restaurant, this Cheng Yu is really capable, since he became the shopkeeper of the restaurant, the restaurant is well organized, After the death of the old man, he took over the restaurant business and opened a number of branches, so that after decades, almost every county in the Jianghuai region, there are their Cheng family's restaurants, and the fire of their business is self-evident.

Cheng Yu is over 70 years old this year, and because of his old age, many of the business of the store are handed over to his subordinates or his children and grandchildren, but his words are still very effective, and he is in charge of the Cheng family's finances.

People like Cheng Yu, who have become bosses from childhood to tens of millions of dollars, are rare in the world, he can have such achievements, in addition to opportunities, his own intelligence is even more important, to meet such a person, Su Wuming's heart suddenly had an indescribable feeling.

After Su Wuming reported his name, the subordinates of the Cheng Mansion immediately led them into the living room, and hurried to their old lady, Su Wuming and the others did not wait long, and an old man in his seventies walked over with the support of a maid.

Although Cheng Yu came with the support of the maid, his spirit was full, as if he was not frightened by the things of lonely souls and wild ghosts, Su Wuming saw him like this, and it was right to think about it carefully, a smart person naturally knows what is credible and what is not credible, rumors stop at the wise, and the words of ghosts cannot scare smart people.

After sitting down, Cheng Yu hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Lord Su has broken the case and is famous, and he has a great reputation in this Qiantang County, and the old man has long wanted to visit, but the old man is not very good, and he has not been out of the house for a long time. ”

Cheng Yu spoke very rigorously, although it sounded flattering, but it was not very strong, Su Wuming smiled again and again after listening to it: "Old man Cheng's body is still very tough, you should walk around more!" ”

Cheng Yu shook his hand: "No, I can't walk!" ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu seemed to suddenly realize something, so he hurriedly asked: "Lord Su shouldn't come to the old mansion for no reason, I don't know when Lord Su came here?" ”

"Old Master Cheng is really a smart person, in fact, there is nothing important for the official to come here, but after hearing that the Zunfu found a lonely ghost, he came to ask."

"Where is there a lonely ghost, it's just a very hungry beggar who wants to steal something to eat in my house, such a trivial matter, Lord Su even bothered about it, so that the old man is very upset!"

Hearing that Cheng Yu didn't think it was a lonely ghost, Su Wuming suddenly smiled and said: "The official doesn't think that there are ghosts in this world, but now that person has made the entire Qiantang County panic, so the official thinks that if he can, find him out, in order to calm the people's hearts, since he came to your mansion to steal food, he thinks that he will leave a clue, if he can, the official wants to investigate." ”

"Where does Lord Su say, what do you need, just say it, I will immediately order someone to lead you to investigate, Lord Su can investigate casually, but he is old and decrepit, I'm afraid I can't follow him!"

"It's okay, as long as someone leads it!"

Cheng Yu greeted him again and again, and then asked the maid Xiuxiu next to him to call Cheng Li, the housekeeper of Cheng Mansion, Cheng Li is already in his fifties, although he is burly, he has seen the hunchback, he is the old man who has followed Cheng Yu for the longest time, after he entered the living room, Cheng Yu immediately said to him: "Ali, you take Master Su around the house, if Lord Su wants to ask you, you will answer anything, what you want to see, you will lead it!" ”

Cheng Li is already very old, but Cheng Yu still calls him Ali, it can be seen that the relationship between the two of them is very close, after Cheng Li listened to Cheng Yu's words, he nodded again and again, and then made a gesture to Su Wuming and others.

Several people followed Cheng Li out of the living room, and after leaving the living room, Cheng Li asked, "I don't know what Master Su wants to ask and see?" ”
