The sky was dark, the bright moon was hanging high, and at midnight, Han Fei, who temporarily lived in the mansion, quietly held a candle and touched it towards the mansion where the county guard lived.

There is a small garden between the county guard's mansion and the inner government study, and the grass and trees in the garden are quiet and the pond is quiet under the moonlight.

Han Fei had just walked under the pink wall of the mansion along the cloister of 10,000 characters, but he saw a person jumping off the pink wall under the ancient willows on the edge of the flower furrow, looking around to observe.

Han Fei looked surprised, and hurriedly blew out the candle that he had raised. In a trance, he could only see that the figure was thin and tall, wearing a dark blue robe, and only four fingers of his exposed left hand, but his face was not clear, as if it was covered by a fog.

Han Fei wondered in his heart: "Who is this person?" ”

The man was silent, and after checking that there was no one around, he disappeared in an instant, and ran outside.

Han Fei hurriedly followed quietly, and followed his trail for a long time, but unexpectedly found that he had lost the trace of the person, and he wondered in his heart.

Could it be that he encountered the ghost of the county guard, so he had to go back to his house.

When he had breakfast the next morning, Han Fei told the scene he saw last night: "Master Zeng, I saw a figure in the county guard's mansion last night, and it disappeared in an instant. ”

Zeng Ming's ruddy face turned pale: "That person is wearing a dark blue robe, not a hat?" ”

Han Fei nodded lightly.

"He only has four fingers on his left hand?" Zeng Ming gasped, fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Han Fei suddenly came to his senses and said in a daze: "Isn't it ......?"

Zeng Ming almost cried: "He is the county guard who committed suicide!" Yesterday I said that his ghost is not gone, and today you have also bumped into it! ”

Could it be that there are really ghosts in this courtyard? The former county guard did not turn a blind eye, and his ghost wandered here night and night, wanting to vent his grievances.

Maybe the girls are a little timid, and when they heard the red lotus here, they whispered: "Brother Wang, let's not stay here, it's gloomy, let's go out and stay at the guest house." ”

The purple girl quipped, "The princess is scared? In fact, ghosts are all imagined by themselves, and as long as there is no fear in their hearts, there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

Zhang Liang also went on to comfort: "As the saying goes: people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points. Even if there really are ghosts, with us by your side to protect you, you won't be fine. ”

Han Fei pulled the red lotus, held her hand in his palm, and said softly: "Don't be afraid of the red lotus, it's nothing, if there are really ghosts, why don't you see the ghosts of the three observers?" ”

Han Fei studied Confucianism, and like Confucius, he had an attitude towards ghosts and gods, but whenever he really encountered ghosts and gods, he did not respect them and stay away, but doubted them and approached them. Among them, there are often people in the majority, and they have never really bumped into a real ghost.

This time, he listened to the words of Zeng Ming, the chief bookkeeper, and knew that something was wrong, and once again aroused his suspicions: "Master Zeng, next we are going to the county guard's mansion to inspect, and the ghost who wants to come to the county guard knows that I want to avenge him, and he will definitely not harm me." ”

Zeng Ming hurriedly shook his hand; "How could Childe take such a risk? If there really is something missing, how can it be gained? ”

Han Fei smiled: "You just stay here, just give us the key to the county guard's mansion." ”

……

The morning sun is rising, and the grass is green. Han Fei and the others boldly strode straight to the door of the back house, took out the key, opened the padlock, and pushed the door in.

Passing through the small courtyard, you will find the inner house of the county watchman's house. The door was not locked, Han Fei gently pushed it open and stepped into the room.

The room was spacious, with a few cages and a pile of tightly bundled old bags piled up against the wall. There is a carved vermilion mackerel on the west wall, on which are crossed with two seals stamped with the seal of the county government, and in the door is the bedroom where the county guard was killed.

Han Fei tore off the cover and pushed the door in.

On this side, there is a golden landscape in the middle hall of one axis, and a pair of celebrity strip screens on both sides. The first is a large bookcase, and a very simple bed is supported on the left side of the bookcase; At the top of the right is a large bookshelf, neatly stacked with a letter of letters. Han Fei opened the bookcase drawer and looked at it, and it was all empty.

Han Fei only felt confused, and casually flipped through the books on the shelves, but most of them were Taoist and Legalist scriptures, astrological medical hexagrams, and alchemy books, and his heart was tasteless, so he had to give up.

Han Fei turned around, looked at Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang who had gathered around him after searching and asked, "How is it?" Did you find any clues? ”

The crowd was silent, just shaking their heads to indicate that nothing had been found.

Han Fei didn't show a disappointed look on his face, and he seemed to have guessed that this would be the result: "Okay, let's go to the place where the corpse is parked and take a look." ”

In the apse of a Taoist temple in Pingyang, the coffin is temporarily housed, a lantern is hung in the middle of the hall, the high shrine is full of sandalwood, and the fruit incense candle is placed on the table. In front of the main hall, there are more than a dozen black lacquered coffins, some of which have decayed, the coffin lid is broken, and the scene is gloomy

Fear.

The environment was a little dim, Han Fei and the others took out the flint, lit the lantern in their hands, and identified the gold handwriting on the coffin one by one. Finally stopped in front of the fourth coffin, and only six spikes were hastily added to the lid of the coffin.

Han Fei ordered Wei Zhuang and Wushuang Ghost to nail and remove the lid of the coffin. They are heroic and heroic, excellent in martial arts, and have no fear of ghosts, gods and spirits.

The two pried open the lid of the coffin, held it with both hands, and gently lowered it to the ground. A foul smell of corpses rose from the coffin, and the smell of lime was disgusting. The two of them covered their noses and retreated, not looking into the coffin.

Han Fei raised the lamp and shone it into the coffin, and unconsciously gasped. The county keeper lying in the coffin was indeed the same as the ghost he met in the Houya Mansion: there was no crown on his head, his hair was scattered on his thin cheeks, and what was especially frightening was that the deceased had only four fingers on his left hand.

What I encountered in the garden of the mansion was indeed the ghost of the former county guard: it seems that what the master saw and said a few days ago is true.

At this time, Han Fei suddenly felt dizzy and apprehensive, and hurriedly removed the lantern and ordered Wei Zhuang and Wushuang Ghost to quickly cover the coffin and re-nail it.

Walking out of the morgue, Han Fei and the others found a wine shop to sit down,

Han Fei said first: "The person in the coffin is indeed exactly the same as what I saw last night, I don't believe that there are ghosts, but I don't know what is going on." ”

The purple girl spoke: "The dead man in the coffin was indeed cast a yin-yang spell, and it is likely to be a mind-controlling spell. ”

Zhang Liang also went on to analyze: "Since this is the case, then the possibility of ghosts and ghosts can be ruled out, and it must be man-made." But how can the murderer be forced? ”

"Wait for the rabbit and brake quietly, I believe that the murderer will come to the door again." Wei Zhuang replied calmly.

Han Fei nodded: "Wait for the rabbit?" It's possible to give it a try for now. ”

There is a record in the "Five Worms" he wrote: During the Warring States Period, there was a peasant in the Song Kingdom who saw a rabbit crashing into the root of a tree and died, so he put down his hoe and waited next to the root, hoping to get another rabbit that was killed. The current situation can only be changed with the same, hoping that the murderer will really fall into the net.
