Chapter 45: Taoist priests don't work
The bamboo raft faded away in the sound of fighting, and the tall fat man came to Xie Bangui's side and lowered his voice: "Brother, what's wrong with you today?" How is it like taking gunpowder? What's not in my heart to talk to my brother. Literature Junkie "
Xie Bangui shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I was disturbed by that ghost car." ”
"I'm more annoying than you. After all, it was a case under my rule, and if I couldn't solve the case, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the above. The tall fat man said earnestly: "Don't you see that my brother is still the same as a person who has nothing to do?" The golden knife man is good, if someone talks to his subordinates like this, he would have turned his face a long time ago. Don't look at him apologizing to you, in fact, there is a fire in your heart, there is something, you see that in front of your brother, let him let him go, he is stiff, and his brother is caught in the middle and is not good at being a man! ”
Xie Bangui nodded and said, "I'll pay attention." ”
The tall fat man breathed a sigh of relief: "Then brother, thank you first." ”
Gao Fatzi's words obviously didn't have much effect, Zhao Sen over there suddenly stood up, pointed to Li Zhuzhu lying on the bamboo raft and said: "This person of yours is dying of a high fever, do you need me to help you throw it into the river." ”
"What!" The tall fat man appeased Xie Bangui here, and someone over there picked on the thorn, and he was furious on the spot: "Do you see that Lao Tzu has given you some face, and then you will provoke trouble, Lao Tzu will play with you." ”
Zhao Jindao was also angry: "From now on, no one is allowed to speak, concentrate on rowing, if you can't get to Brother Qiu's land before dawn, you all will go home for me, Lao Tzu doesn't need disobedient guards." ”
"Yes!" When the five of them saw that Zhao Jindao had moved the real fire, no one dared to say more. Keeping his mouth shut, he quickly paddled the raft downstream.
Before dawn, I arrived, the tall fat man's head. Xie Bangui beckoned the official to send Li Zhuzhu to the hospital for treatment. I and the fat man went directly to find Lao Qian, and the first thing they said when they met was: "How about the things that let you check?" ”
Old Qian said with a bitter face: "Don't mention it!" The dead ghost Su Heng seemed to have come out of the ground, and he couldn't find any clues. The origin of the car was searched, but there was no way to investigate the whereabouts of the car! ”
Xie Bangui said: "Tell me, what's going on." ”
"There are only two carriages made of serpentine wood in the world, and they are all tributes from the Kingdom of Annam. One was given to Concubine Xiao by the emperor. The other one is not far from us, at the home of Marquis Yu Changhai. Lao Qian vomited bitterness and said: "These two people, which one is the master to be messed with?" If I go to their place to investigate, I won't be beaten into meatloaf and thrown out? ”
Xie Bangui said: "Concubine Xiao doesn't need to check it, the style of the Niangniang chariot is different from the soul car, the key is on the Zhongjing Marquis Yu Changhai." ”
Lao Qian knocked on his palms and said: "That guy's temper is notoriously smelly and hard, and he never believes in ghosts and gods, even if we go to explain our intentions, he will not let us in." ”
Xie Bangui smiled evilly: "You don't need him to let him go, just let him invite us in." ”
The tall fat man said angrily: "Please go in?" Do you have the Shang Fang Sword? ”
Xie Bangui showed a smile that made the tall fat man's scalp numb: "Shang Fang Sword, I don't have it." However, I will let the ghost bite! ”
"You, you, you ......," the tall fat man pointed at Xie Bangui and was speechless for a long time.
Yu Changhai is a genuine marquis who came out of the battlefield, and was awarded the lieutenant of the light car, although he lived in a simple place, he was really in charge of Qingzhou's military affairs.
"Grumpy, simple-minded, and not afraid of anything except the emperor and military law" The common diseases of these three military attaches are vividly manifested in him. When I got up in the morning, as soon as I heard that the house was haunted, I immediately became furious: "Let your mother's bullshit, Lao Tzu has been a soldier all his life, killed half a lifetime of people, and the people who died directly in my hands are not one thousand but eight hundred, and there are countless people who have been beheaded by my order." Why hasn't Lao Tzu seen a ghost? ”
The housekeeper said to Ai Ai: "But many people have seen it, and now the house is in a state of panic, and Madame also has the intention of inviting a mage to come over......
"Fart, please. Listen to the wind is the rain of the woman's Taoist ......" Although Yu Changhai scolded fiercely, he still cared about his wife in his heart, and after he was almost angry, his words softened: "You don't need to invite any Lao Shizi mage, just come by yourself, call Lao Tzu's personal soldiers tonight, just sit in the courtyard and wait for the ghost to come out, Lao Tzu wants to see what the ghost looks like?" ”
That night, Yu Changhai transferred 100 soldiers into the house, and put the front and rear gates, kitchens, latrines, wells, courtyard corners, and big trees...... A few people saw the ghost and looked at it tightly. Yu Changhai himself took four guards, moved the deputy tables and chairs, and the big horse golden knife sat in the courtyard facing the gate, quite a bit of the momentum of a general here.
The third watch was knocked, and when the night entered the child, a few pro-soldiers guarding the backyard gradually became impatient.
A younger soldier muttered in a low voice: "Mr. Wang, do you say that there are really ghosts in this world?" ”
"There are female ghosts, and they still eat ****** like you." Wang Zongqi scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu fought with Hou Ye at the age of sixteen, and he has slept in more dead people than you have ever entered the kiln, why haven't you seen a ghost?" ”
"But......" The little soldier was still afraid to death.
"But a fart?" Before Wang Zongqi finished speaking, he saw that the little soldier's face was pale, his lips were blue, and he pointed behind him with one hand and kept shaking.
Wang Zongqi was furious by him, and pressed the waist knife with his right hand and said sharply: "What the are you doing?" ”
"You...... You...... Behind you...... "The creep had to beat a drum on both legs, and yellowed urine spilled down the crotch of his pants. His hands were so shaky that he couldn't even hold the knife tightly, let alone draw it.
Wang Zongqi froze, and he obviously felt a cool breeze spraying down his neck rhythmically. His right shoulder also sank, as if someone had pressed his hand on his shoulder, but he couldn't see a hand on his shoulder.
Wang Zongqi was in a hurry, and took out the method of dealing with the "wolf shoulder" on the grassland in the past, kept his body still, and slowly touched the dagger on his waist with his right hand. His eyes glanced at his toes. Unexpectedly, I saw a dark red embroidered shoe hanging from my calf. From the height of that foot, it looked like someone was wrapping his arms around his neck, lying on his back, and shaking his two little feet back and forth.
"Ahh Wang Zongqi pulled out the dagger, as if to embolden himself, and roared back and slashed behind his back. The man also turned around, but there was nothing behind him.
When he turned back again, he was also frightened like that little soldier, and his whole body was shaking, and he couldn't speak.
The little soldier, who was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground like mud just now, didn't know when he stood up straight. He stood there with his head hung as if his neck had been broken, motionless and silent.
"Little Er'er...... Xiao Er'er......" Wang Zongqi said boldly at first: "You say something!" Little Er'er, what's wrong with you? ”
"Hey, hey, hey......" A woman's shrill laugh erupted from the soldier's mouth. Slowly raised his head, his face was as white as paper, his two lips were frighteningly red, and his eyes were like two knives stabbing people's hearts.
"Ahh......h You have great powers...... You don't remember the villain's mistakes......"
"What the are you doing!" Yu Changhai, who heard the shout, ran to the backyard, dragged Wang Zongqi, who was kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and slapped him twice.
Wang Zongqi finally came back to his senses, and shouted with tears streaming down his face: "Little Er'er, little Er'er, he was ghosted......"
"Fuck your mother's ......" Yu Changhai's scolding was not over, and he heard another scream in the direction of the well. He didn't care about what happened to Wang Zongqi, so he ran to the well with people again.
Near the mouth of the well, a pro-soldier lay on the ground holding his head and shrunk into a ball, his two hands were pumped like a chicken's paws, but the strength of holding his head was surprisingly great, and the two guards finally held him down, one of them broke his hand and said: "His hand is cramping, quickly take the bruising oil, if he doesn't live blood, the person will be wasted." ”
Yu Changhai took a few steps up, and "Bang Bang" was two feet: "Are you dead?" What's going on? ”
Those personal soldiers were the people brought out by Yu Changhai, and the officer's previous power overcame his fear, and he stammered: "In the well...... There are people in the well...... Someone ......"
"In the well!" Yu Changhai looked at the wellhead probe, and there was nothing except the wall of the black hole. At this time, he couldn't help but be a little scared, if there was really nothing in the well, how could he scare an elite soldier into twitching limbs?
"Your Excellency...... The adult ......" another one ran over covered in blood: "Your pigsty...... Pigs in the pigsty...... Stood up...... He also said human words......"
"Ahh
The screams of the entire Hou Mansion came and went, and even the tall fat man hiding outside was terrified: "Brother, are you too ruthless?" Don't scare people's lives. ”
"It's okay, it's not scared. I know it. Xie Bangui said: "Now, it shouldn't have scared Yu Changhai yet, and when we scare him, we can swagger into the Hou Mansion." ”
Yu Changhai returned to the study with a pale face, and said irritably: "Lao Lu, go and ask someone to collect the table in the courtyard, no one is sitting, and you are still there to make offerings?" ”
In less than half an hour, seven places in the Hou Mansion were haunted in succession, and no less than fifty people saw ghosts with their own eyes, and several of them were so frightened that they were delirious. Even if Yu Changhai didn't say it, he already believed in the fact that his house was haunted, and even subconsciously feared it, so he didn't go back to the courtyard but hid directly in the study.
"Give me a kettle of wine!" Yu Changhai was irritable, but he heard a rooster crow outside the door. It's just that the rooster crows not only does not have the momentum of "the rooster cries the world white", but the sound is extremely miserable, and even has a trace of grievance.
"Great!" One of the guards rubbed his hands together and said, "The rooster crows, those things should go back......
"Fart!" Yu Changhai patted the case and said: "The third watch hasn't passed yet, will the chickens bark casually?" Why does this chicken crow so badly? ”
"That's what chickens with a stab on their necks call that." The housekeeper Yu Lu said unhurriedly: "Master Hou, didn't you hear that it was a rooster struggling for his life?" ”
Yu Changhai frowned: "Lao Lu, what you said today, why is it weird?" ”
Yu Lu replied unhurriedly, "Is there one?" I've always talked like this, but I haven't heard it before. ”
Yu Changhai instinctively felt that something was wrong, he had listened to the housekeeper for thirty or forty years, what did he mean that he had not heard it before?
Yu Changhai suddenly caught a glimpse of the liquor flowing out of the butler's wine jug within a foot high of the wine glass, from clear and turbid, from turbid to red, and finally when it fell to the glass, it was already as red as blood. Yu Changhai moved the wine glass to the side and was about to take a closer look, but saw a blood-red eye reflected in the glass.
