Chapter 238 Exposed
went straight to Gu Chenghan's door, stretched out her hand and wanted to knock on the door, but thinking that the hour was still early, she suddenly hesitated.
The hand hesitated for a moment on the edge of the door, but in the end it did not fall, and just as she wanted to give up, the door opened.
Gu Chenghan suddenly appeared in front of Zhen Chutian.
The two of them have a heart.
"Something?" Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian a little embarrassed, so he took the lead in opening his mouth to break the silence.
"My lord, aren't you going to the yamen today?"
"Just about to go, you're having dinner?" Gu Chenghan walked out of the house as he spoke, and then went downstairs with Zhen Chutian to find the shopkeeper to prepare a meal.
"Not yet."
Zhen Chutian smiled embarrassedly and followed downstairs.
Everyone else has their own things to be busy with, Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan decided to go to the yamen to see the corpses first, the twelve corpses, they have already experienced, but there are no clues, Song Jiang is not needed yet, it is because they decided to see if Song Jiang needs to go to the autopsy after they have seen it.
When the two of them were eating, they heard the shopkeeper and the people at the table next door talking about the recent murders, listening to what they said, Zhen Chutian looked at Gu Chenghan, "My lord, can you call over and ask?" ”
"Whatever you want." Gu Chenghan knew that Zhen Chutian's little head must have thought of something, and he naturally wouldn't stop it.
Receiving Gu Chenghan's instructions, Zhen Chutian beckoned the shopkeeper to come to him, "Girl, what do you want?" ”
"A pot of good wine."
"Come on, girl, wait a minute." The shopkeeper quickly took out a pot of wine and put it directly in front of Zhen Chutian.
Seeing that Xiao Er was about to leave, Zhen Chutian reached out and put the broken silver in his hand in his hand, "Xiao Er, I want to ask you something." ”
"Girl, please speak." Xiao Ermei put away the silver with a smile, and then looked at Zhen Chutian with a flattering expression.
Zhen Chutian beckoned Xiao Er to squat down, and then asked, "Have a lot of people died in your town recently?" ”
"Yes, the girl heard?" Xiao Er looked around cautiously, and then continued: "It is said that it is the people of the Hades Palace who are here to retaliate. ”
"Hades?" Zhen Chutian saw that Xiao Ershen was mysterious, as if he really knew something.
Seeing Zhen Chutian's disbelief, Xiao Er continued to look around and lowered his voice, "Girl, I have been in our town since I was a child, and I know all the customs in the town, every year we have a Halloween Festival, but in the past few years, some people did not follow the order and disrupted the Halloween. ”
What the shopkeeper said was so arrogant that even Zhen Chutian believed it for a moment, but with a shake of her head, she also came back to her senses, and then looked at the shopkeeper with a serious face, she felt a little funny.
"Girl, do you believe this?" The shopkeeper was not stupid, and when he saw Zhen Chutian smiling at him, he knew that she didn't believe it.
"It's just a little weird." Zhen Chutian didn't want to say it explicitly, so he looked at the shopkeeper euphemistically.
didn't want Zhen Chutian's attitude to make the shopkeeper want to go on, "Girl, what I said is true, don't believe me." ”
"Oh, yes, tell me about it." Gu Chenghan saw Xiao Er like this, but he was aroused.
It was rare for Zhen Chutian to see such a good thing as Gu Chenghan, and it was not easy to stop it, so he listened obediently on the side.
"First of all, those people are all the people who rushed to Halloween back then, and then these people didn't care about the etiquette of the town in the past, and always caused trouble again and again, in fact, we have long had a lot of criticism of them."
The shopkeeper became more and more energetic, and told Gu Chenghan everything he knew, whether it was true or not.
After hearing these words, Zhen Chutian only had one feeling, that is, ignorance was really terrifying, and things that could be explained clearly were actually caused by ghosts and gods.
"Okay, thank you."
"That son, if the girl is fine, I'll go and get busy first."
"Okay."
Watching the shopkeeper leave, Zhen Chutian shook his head lightly and smiled, "Who did you say spread this rumor?" ”
"God, go find him first and see how much he knows." After listening to the words of the shopkeeper, Gu Chenghan guessed that they were all lies made up by that god stick, in order to earn silver.
During this time, the relatives and friends of the deceased asked this god stick to do a lot of rituals, and they should have earned a lot of silver.
When the two of them thought of this, they actually hated this magic stick to the core.
Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Soon arrived at Shengang's house, and saw that the courtyard was overcrowded, Zhen Chutian couldn't help frowning, "Ignorant people are really pedantic. ”
These people are the rhythm of handing over a lot of silver to the hands of the gods.
"Everyone, I know that you all want to make your dead relatives better, but this great god and I only give three people a day, and it depends on which of you is more sincere." The god stick stood on a high place with a posture.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone began to shout, "Master, I will give you five taels of silver." ”
"I'll give ten taels."
"Fifteen taels."
Zhen Chutian suddenly felt that this was like a bidding, and couldn't help frowning.
Gu Chenghan's face was gloomy, and his eyes kept looking at the magic stick in front of him through the crowd.
Seeing that Gu Chenghan was about to be angry, Zhen Chutian took the lead and pulled his sleeve, "My lord, I'll come." ”
"Then I'll be tired of Zhen." The way Zhen Chutian stepped forward made Gu Chenghan a little moved.
In the past, Gu Chenghan was in front of Yu Linglong and others, but he didn't expect Zhen Chutian to block him behind him today.
It was clear that he was better at reaching out than her, and in such an occasion, he didn't need her protection, but she still stepped forward.
Looking at Zhen Chutian's small figure and walking towards the crowd, a smile appeared on the corner of Gu Chenghan's mouth.
At this time, Zhen Chutian had already come to the high platform in the crowd.
Seeing that Zhen Chutian was dressed plainly, the texture was very good, so he shifted his attention to her.
Seeing the god stick looking at him, a smile appeared on Zhen Chutian's face, "Master, look at me, is there something wrong?" ”
"But what's the trouble in the family?"
The god stick touched his beard and his eyes were blurred, as if he had fallen into some unfathomable situation.
"Yes, Master, how do you know?" Zhen Chutian looked at the master in horror, his eyes were full of admiration.
Seeing that Zhen Chutian had taken the bait, the god stick continued to swear and said: "I am a master, I can know these things by pinching my fingers, and now if you want to survive this catastrophe, it depends on your sincerity." ”
"How much." Zhen Chutian looked at the god stick in embarrassment.
Seeing that Zhen Chutian's face was embarrassed, the god stick only thought she was stingy, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of disgust, Zhou looked at Zhen Chutian sharply, "Girl, if you want to solve the disaster, you don't want to give out the money, you are too whimsical, right?" ”
"That's it, that's it."
"Girl, if you don't want to give up the money, then we still have something to deal with? You're out of the way. The crowd began to criticize, and even one of the men began to do it.
Seeing this, Gu Chenghan came to Zhen Chutian like a wind and threw the man to the ground.
"You...... Beat someone......" The man looked at Gu Chenghan and began to shout.
Hearing the voice, everyone began to look at Gu Chenghan.
Someone pointed at Gu Chenghan, "You, who are you, now the master is giving excessive gifts to the deceased, and you will disturb the gods if you make trouble here." ”
Those who are not afraid of death are condemning Gu Chenghan, at this time, Zhen Chutian can't stand it, how could he have been pointed at like this, and instantly got up and knocked the magic stick to the ground.
"This fire, what is it, divine fire, I will also ......" Zhen Chutian just moved his sword slightly, and saw that the sword head began to fire.
The onlookers exclaimed, "This, what the hell is going on?" She, how could she. ”
Seeing these people like this, Zhen Chutian continued to take down those charms, and then took the charms to face everyone, "Just now he said that there was a disaster in my family, did you all hear it?" ”
"That is, is it true that there is no trouble in the girl's house?" A woman believes in the master, and when she saw that his tricks were exposed little by little, her heart was cold, and now she was waiting for Zhen Chutian's words.
"Of course, we are officials from the imperial court, and we are ordered to arrest the local god stick, that is, the person in front of us." Zhen Chutian knew that only by taking out the imperial court could these ignorant people in front of her believe her words.
As soon as the god stick heard that it was someone from the imperial court, and there were already people in the crowd who began to disbelieve him, he began to beg for mercy, "My lord, spare your life, the small one is just earning some silver, and the small one is not harmless." ”
"Master, what do you mean by this, you are all liars?" The person who was still believing in the god stick was shocked at this time, as if he had been deceived.
As soon as this man took the lead, everyone began to curse the gods.
"Pay back the money, or you won't want to leave this place alive today." Someone has begun to threaten the gods.
Seeing that it was not good, the god stick looked at Zhen Chutian and begged for help: "My lord, you have to save me, I can't die here." ”
Now that he knows that he is asking for help, Zhen Chutian will not help the abuse, and pretends not to see it and stands aside with Gu Chenghan.
When those people took away all the silver of the magic stick, and the nose and face were swollen from the beating, Zhen Chutian coughed for fear of causing death, "Everyone, if you beat again, you will go to jail." ”
Everyone saw that Zhen Chutian didn't look like he was talking and playing, so they slowly stopped.
These people left one after another with resentment, and at this moment, only the gods and Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan were left in the huge courtyard.
The body of the god stick was beaten, and his face was planted into a pig's head at this time, Zhen Chutian would have laughed if it weren't for his identity.
Gu Chenghan didn't want to see that it was a magic stick, and motioned to Zhen Chutian to ask quickly.
Only then did Zhen Chutian slowly come to the god stick, and looked at him aggressively with his chin up, "Do you want to live?" ”
"Adult, the little ones have been beaten like this, what do you still want?" The god stick was unwilling, but because the people in front of him were all officials of the imperial court, and they didn't look like ordinary people, he could only admit it.
"If you don't want to do anything, just give you a way to live, if you want to live, tell the truth, otherwise you will be in prison, maybe those who have been deceived by you in the past will still trouble you, and another careless death in prison, hey, it's a pity......"
Zhen Chutian's ability to fool people is becoming more and more proficient.
Gu Chenghan watched from the side, almost amused by her.
Sensing Gu Chenghan's strange appearance, Zhen Chutian looked sideways and signaled that he didn't want to show his stuffing.
Yes, Gu Chenghan continued to keep his iron face and looked at the god stick selflessly.
