Chapter 26 Investigation of the case
The shop is located next to a phoenix tree, and the phoenix flowers on the tree are in full bloom every June.
The shop also looks a little old, with a faΓ§ade that can only put three or four tables in it, and a long pavilion outside to protect it from the wind and rain, and the pavilion leads to the lake.
This is the craft of making roast chicken is passed down from generation to generation, the taste is unique, the skin is crispy and crispy, the meat is tender and juicy in one bite, and it is a must in the world.
Nanqiang asked for two roast chickens and a pot of tea. At this hour, in this kind of place, the most people who come are either hungry and panicked like her, or some idle people who claim to be elegant and don't like restaurant Oiran.
This kind of idle people's favorite thing is to sit down, have a cup of tea, sit together with three or five people, talk about poetry and lyrics, and talk about big and small anecdotes.
Nanqiang raised his eyelids and glanced at it, listening to the poems and songs next door, and his heart was annoyed.
What these people love most is the weirdness of yin and yang, pretending to be profound, and a simple sentence has to make a few false words.
If you say no, you have to raise your chin slightly, and you have to shake your head meaningfully, the fan in your hand is slapped on your hand, and you say seriously: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye!" β
In Nanqiang's ears, these few people get together together, which is no different from a woman with a broken mouth under the tree on weekdays.
Nanqiang sat on the bamboo chair, and Bai Zhi carried a small wine jar and trotted to Nanqiang's side.
A few well-dressed men had just sat down at the empty table next door, and a man in a green shirt sat down with two walnuts in his hand.
"Did you hear that? A few days later is the birthday of Lord Xin's old mother, this Lord Xin is a well-known filial son, Mrs. Xin loves to listen to operas, Lord Xin spent a lot of money to invite the phoenix butterflies in the pear orchard to sing in the house. β
"Lan Fengdie is also willing?"
The man in the green shirt said contemptuously: "Under the heavy money, how can you refuse." Mrs. Xin's birthday, Liyuan is going to Xinfu to sing for a day and a night, this time I go to the Xin family to celebrate my birthday, and I can also listen to the song of Lan Fengdie, which is wonderful! β
The two looked around, and didn't dare to say what they said in their hearts, this old lady Xin had a big birthday, and she listened to the opera several times after giving out the money for the congratulatory gift.
"Speaking of this Lord Xin, it's really strange to walk in this long alley today. I heard some rumors that Liu Laohan's daughter Cuicui was forcibly taken back from the mansion by the nephew of the county lord of Mianyin. It's not like the nephew of the county lord Mianyin hasn't done this......"
The man in the green shirt pressed the other man's shoulder and winked.
The man looked up and saw that there were no unusual eyes around, and he made a slight determination.
Nanqiang turned his back to the two men, and listened to a bunch of new and strange things in Nanhuai City recently, and after the men left, Nanqiang left the silver and carried another packaged roast chicken back home.
On the way back, Nanqiang Liaolai kicked a small pebble, and in the dead of night, the stone clanged on the blue brick road.
"Miss, do you know the woman in that abandoned house?" Bai Zhi held back all night, how could she not know that her young lady knew this strange person.
Nanqiang kicked the stone hard, and this time the stone rolled far away, although he couldn't see it, he heard the sound of the knock, and he probably knew that it stopped three zhang away.
Nanqiang put one hand behind his back: "I don't know, I just heard that it is often haunted." β
A thin layer of sweat oozed from Bai Zhi's palms, raised his head, and broke his fingers.
"What if there's no one in there, it's really a ghost?" Bai Zhi thought of that eerie place, and let out a long sigh of relief, and inhaled it again.
Nanqiang chuckled: "So I took you there." β
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes behind Nanqiang, muttered in a low voice, and then followed with a round short leg breath, carrying a roast chicken, panting and following.
Nanqiang stood at the door of Nanzhao's courtyard, and when he looked up, Nanzhao's study was brightly lit.
The king of Nanhuai went to Kyoto to meet the new emperor, has been going for more than half a month, a few days ago Kyoto sent a letter, neighboring countries came to congratulate, a banquet of the envoys of neighboring countries, the queen mother Yizhi, the king of Nanhuai temporarily stayed in Kyoto, and so on the envoys of neighboring countries left the Great Zhou Kingdom, the king of Nanhuai can return to Nanhuai on his own, continue to guard the border pass of Nanhuai.
In the army, Nan Zhao was in charge of all the big and small things in the horse farm, and the long alley was piled up together.
"Heaven has descended on the Si people!"
Nan Qiangwen spit out such a sentence, looked at the bright moon with his head high, and hummed a little song back to the Autumn Pavilion Garden.
At night, on the third watch, the patrol caught fast on the long alley, and saw the red-clothed long-tongued ghost wandering and crying in Liu Laohan's house, with a desolate and sad voice.
A few catchers were so frightened that they lost half of their souls, and when they fled in confusion with their heads in their hands, they vaguely felt that the female ghost in red was chasing after them, and a faint cry: "Hurt my life, cause my parents to die tragically, even if I turn into a ghost, I won't let you go!" β
A few arresters fled all the way back to the house, and the next day all four of them fell seriously ill, and the matter spread in less than half a day.
Liu Laohan's house is haunted!
Liu Laohan's daughter Cuicui was killed by someone! Now I've turned into a ghost to take revenge!
This matter is spread ten times and ten times to hundreds.
The people who lived in the long alley hurriedly scraped together the money and went to the famous Taoist temple to invite an old Taoist.
It is rumored that this old Tao also has some skills, such as marriage, fate, and exorcism.
The child cried incessantly, and the old man went down with a glass of water, and the child got better the next day.
There is also this long-term sick old woman, as long as the old Tao says that this yang longevity is not over, no matter how serious the illness is, she can be saved, and hold her healthy and long-lived.
The higher the difficulty, the higher the silver will naturally be, saving people's lives, three hundred taels!
Hundreds of households in the long alley got fifty taels of silver, and went to the Taoist temple to invite the old Taoist down the mountain.
This old Taoist was wearing a Taoist robe, and under the scorching sun of noon, he walked around Liu Laohan's house.
The people who were a few feet away felt that this old way was really powerful, and they dared to approach such a place with such a heavy yin qi.
A few people saw that Lao Dao was chanting words in his mouth, pinching his fingers and counting there, and his faces became more and more solemn.
A few little Taoist boys took out yellow talismans from their arms, took out red silk ropes, nailed them to the ground, and surrounded the scorched dilapidated houses with red silk ropes.
In the end, Lao Dao turned around and said: "The female ghost in red is a powerful ghost turned into Cuicui!" If you don't find the person who killed her, the resentment is too heavy, and she will do evil and harm people's lives! β
After speaking, he sighed, muttered a few words in his mouth, brushed the duster in his hand, and left.
Everything in the world, as long as you are involved in it, there is no reason to be generous.
The people in this long alley are like this, and everyone is panicked all of a sudden.
This matter caused trouble to the government, and Xin Pingshan was holding a birdcage in his backyard, teasing the canary in the cage.
On a sunny day, Xin Pingshan's face was full of leisure.
"Oh no, my lord! Oh no! β
The caged canary flapped its wings and chirped, knocking over the bird's food inside.
Xin Pingshan was furious: "What's wrong! Hon-sama is doing well! β
The head catcher was anxious: "My lord, this will be really bad, the haunting of the long alley is getting bigger and bigger, they invited the Taoist priest at noon, after listening to the Taoist nonsense, the people are more and more frightened, and now the people are crowded in the yamen, and the drums of the yamen are broken!" said that he wanted the adults to find out the real culprit who killed Liu Laohan's daughter Cuicui! Comfort Cuicui's soul and calm her grievances! β
