Yan Su asked them only to know that Cui Niangzi had a son, and this son was very likely to be the real culprit of the Huachuan case, but no one knew where Cui Niangzi's son was, what he looked like, and how he was fat and thin.

The flower boat case suddenly reached an impasse.

The matter of the envoy to Beiliao cannot be delayed, and Yan Su asked the child in her womb not to wait because the flower boat case was not solved. Compared with this case that happened on the Wei River, it is the most important thing to end the matter in Beiliao as soon as possible, and to accompany Yan Su to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion to raise a baby. This case can only be handed over to the local government and let them try their best to investigate.

Half a month later, Yang Huairen asked someone to hand over a letter, which was actually related to Cui Niangzi's son. Cui Niangzi's son admitted that the flower boat case was his own doing, and his purpose was to avenge his mother and cardamom. At the end of the letter, Yang Huairen also said one thing, saying that Lian Yunzhi was very likely to be a spy sent to Yecheng by Northern Liao, but Lian Yunzhi was dead, and no one knew what she had done in Yecheng.

The day they received Yang Huairen's letter happened to be the day when Yan Su asked them to leave the ship and go ashore. The water system of the Wei River is the end point when it reaches Wuliu Town, and then you can only take the dry road, not the water road.

Due to the large number of people, in order not to attract attention, the group was divided into three groups and settled in three inns in Wuliu Town.

Yan Suwen and Gu Changfeng took Youbai and Jiang Li to live in the Xinyue Inn.

Shen Jiu and Er Rong pretended to be husband and wife and lived in Tongfu Inn.

Gu Yunfei stayed at the Dragon Gate Inn with two other guards.

The three inns are not far from each other, all on the same street, and they can be regarded as taking care of each other.

After dinner, when he was about to go back to the room, the innkeeper suddenly ran to Yan Suwen and said in a very small voice: "Madame is from out of town, and I don't know the rules of our Wuliu Town." In our Wuliu Town, after this nightfall, we can't go out at will. Also, please ask the lady to let the accompanying maid hang this outside the door after returning to the room. Also, if you hear any strange sounds at night, the lady and the young master must not get up to check, so as not to get into trouble. ”

The innkeeper handed over two red ropes.

"Tie a red rope to the door, what's the rule?"

"It's the rule of our Fog Willow Town, and it's been like this since I was a child." The innkeeper explained: "Madame has opened two rooms, and this red rope is tied to one in one room. Remember, the red rope is not tied to the inside of the door, but to the outside. Ward off evil. ”

The inn Xiaoer deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "evil spirit".

"Ward off evil spirits? Is there anything evil in this Misty Willow Town? ”

"There's nothing evil, it's just a custom." The innkeeper smiled a little embarrassedly, "Please be sure to let your maid tie this rope outside the door, and don't walk around at night." ”

"What's wrong?" Gu Changfeng had just gone to see Shen Jiu, and when he came back, he saw the inn junior second stopping Yan Suwen chattering, and his face changed instantly.

"It's nothing, the little second brother told me about some rules in Wuliu Town. Is it all done? ”

"That's it." Gu Changfeng hugged Yan Suwen's waist: "After a day of walking, you are also tired, go back to your room and rest." ”

"Husband, I'm tired for a day, so I'll rest early." Yan Suwen handed the red rope to Youbai, and gave Jiang Li a look.

After Yan Suwen and Gu Changfeng returned to the room, Jiang Li turned around and went to find the little second who had just talked to Yan Suwen. Unable to withstand Jiang Li's repeated intimidation, Xiao Er finally confessed, saying that this Wuliu Town had been haunted since three years ago. In the middle of the night, you can hear the baby crying, and the cry is so miserable that people listen to it, and goosebumps rise when they hear it.

Jiang Li told Yan Suwen and Gu Changfeng the results of the question, but Mrs. Gu only felt funny. Also, both of them are also people from the battlefield, and this dead man has seen a lot, but the ghost has never seen one. Haunted in the middle of the night, I am afraid that there is another hidden situation, maybe it is a means for this foggy willow town to attract foreign guests.

After a while, the cry of a baby came from the darkness, and it seemed to be under the window, which made people hear, and it was indeed as the innkeeper said, a little creepy.

As soon as Yan Suwen wanted to get up, he was pressed down by Gu Changfeng on the shoulder: "Madame, rest, I'll take a look." ”

nodded, obediently lay in the quilt, and said to Gu Changfeng: "Be careful." ”

Gu Changfeng walked to the window and pushed one of the windows open. At this time, the moonlight shone in through the window like water, shining brightly on the ground.

"Is there something?" Yan Su asked in a low voice, lest the voice be too loud, and scare away the guy who was pretending to be a ghost.

Gu Changfeng glanced at her and shook his head.

"A master?"

Before he finished speaking, the baby's cry outside was much louder than just now. 315 Chinese Network

Yan Suwen hurriedly covered his ears, but saw that Gu Changfeng had already opened all the windows, and he jumped down with a light tap on his toes.

"Anyway, I'm also a good man, I jumped out of the window in the middle of the night and was seen, but what's the matter." Yan Suwen lifted the quilt, walked to the window, and looked down. As soon as I glanced at it, I heard movement outside the door.

"Who?"

"Madam, it's Jiang Li."

When I opened the door, I saw Jiang Li and Youbai standing outside. Jiang Li was neatly dressed and still holding a sword in his hand. Youbai was wearing pajamas, her eyes were hazy, but her face was full of horror.

After letting the two of them enter the house, Yan Suwen found that Jiang Li's clothes seemed to be stained, and when he got closer, it was a small willow leaf. There is a very large willow tree planted at the door of the Xinyue Inn, and the reason why Wuliu Town is called Wuliu Town is because this town is close to the Wei River and is foggy all year round. There is still a layer of moisture on the willow leaves on Jiang Li's body, which means that she has just gone out.

"Where's the master?"

"It's out."

"But to check the baby's cry?"

Yan Su asked and nodded.

"It's not a baby, it's just a feral cat." Jiang Li explained: "After listening to what Xiao Er said, I wanted to see what was going on with the ghost crying in the middle of the night. It's okay to pretend to be a ghost, I'm afraid that it's someone hiding in the shadows, deliberately arranged. Just now, when the first cry came, I followed the cry and looked for it, but I saw only a black cat. ”

"How could this black cat cry like a baby? Scared the hell out of me. Miss doesn't know, I slept well, and I was still gnawing on the pig's trotters in my dreams. Fortunately, I was woken up by this cry. When I woke up, I didn't see Jiang Li again, and I thought she was caught by a ghost. It's a shame that I didn't cry or scream, otherwise, let others hear it, and lose it to the young lady's people. ”

"Not the one who loses me, but the one who loses yourself. Anyway, she is also a girl from my prime minister's house, why are you so timid. Yan Suwen reached out and pinched his white face.

"Slaves and maids are not cowardly, slaves and maids just can't hear this kind of scary sound." Youbai wrinkled: "I knew that this Fog Willow Town was so weird, so we would have changed places." ”

"Somewhere else? Do you live in the middle of nowhere? It's going to take hours to get to the next town. ”、

"It's better to live in the wilderness than to live here and listen to cats." Youbai hugged his arm: "If you really want to live in the wilderness, we don't have to be separated, so many people, Xiangye, Jiang Li and General Gu Xiao, they are all able to fight, so they are not afraid of what the hell." ”

"I'm not afraid now." Yan Su asked and pinched his white face again: "You are still my person, you have forgotten what your young lady is best at." I am not afraid of this living person or dead body, I can still be afraid of a ghost. ”

"Yes, Miss is amazing, Miss is not afraid, slaves and maids will learn from Miss in the future."

As he was talking, Gu Changfeng and Gu Yunfei jumped in from the window. Gu Changfeng was stained with a lot of mist, and so was Gu Yunfei.

"Why did you come back together?"

"I was drinking with the two of them, and as I was drinking, I heard the baby's cry. We thought about it, and we didn't know that it was the cruel man who would leave the child out of the door, and let the child cry so much, so we came out to see. As a result, I didn't see the child, but I met the master. ”

"Jiang Li said that it wasn't the baby crying, it was a black cat barking."

"It's not a black cat." Gu Changfeng said.

"It's not a black cat, it's something stranger than a black cat." Gu Yunfei explained: "After meeting the master, I followed the cry all the way with the master, and ended up in an ancestral hall. This ancestral hall is called the ancestral hall of the Zong's family, I was still wondering, saying that the ancestral hall is the ancestral hall, how can I return the ancestral hall of the Zong's family, for fear that others will not know that they are an ancestor. Later, I found out that this sect is a surname. There is a drum at the entrance of the ancestral hall, the drum surface is black, but the drum body is red. ”

"Didn't you follow the master to find the cry, why did you talk about the drum instead." Jiang Li glared at Gu Yunfei.

"Why are you so anxious, you can't wait for me to finish speaking." Gu Yunfei also glared back at Jiang Li: "The closer you get to the ancestral hall, the louder that cry becomes." At first, my grandfather and I thought that the cry came from the ancestral hall, but later we found out that the cry seemed to come from the drum. In the drum, there was a baby crying, and it was not unusual for you to say that. What's even more strange is that when I approached the drum with my grandfather, the baby's cry disappeared immediately. I thought it was strange, so I touched the drum with my hand, and it seemed to be stuffed with something. ”

"What's that?"

"Man, stuffed with a person, and still a living person." Gu Yunfei put aside the sword in his hand: "That person, you should have seen it, is the shopkeeper of this Xinyue Inn, surnamed Zong, called Zongli, a thoughtful ceremony." ”

"The shopkeeper of the Xinyue Inn is installed in the drum in front of the ancestral hall of the Zong family, why?" Youbai stared at Gu Yunfei with a very puzzled expression.

"Why? I wonder why. Gu Yunfei spread his hands: "That Zongli seems to be frightened, and after being brought back by us, he went directly to the house." The master was worried about Madame, and I, I was also afraid that Youbai would be frightened, so I hurried up to take a look. Oh, by the way, don't worry, I'll let the innkeepers guard their shopkeepers, and nothing will happen again. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a scream, followed by some gibble of voices.
