Li Chengsen raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, Li Guodong's death is also a clue?" ”

"Of course!" Xie Bangui said affirmatively: "Zhao Siyuan and Li Guodong, one is in the A-shaped room and the other is in the T-shaped room, the difference in identity is 108,000 miles, and there should be no intersection. Why does he have to pull Li Guodong into the circle? And you want to tell Li Guodong that Guozijian is such a secret thing? ”

"And ......," Xie Bangui continued: "It is said that after Li Guodong's death, Du Yufeng and Zhao Siyuan met in secret once, and both of them became a little panicked, and it was not until a few months after Li Guodong's death that they slowly recovered. Can you say that they have nothing to do with Li Guodong? ”

Li Chengsen nodded and said, "Okay, Li Guodong's origin and various interpersonal relationships, I will send someone to investigate in detail." Don't relax, and continue to socialize with those princes, and see if you can find any valuable clues. ”

Xie Bangui waved his hand and said, "Brother Li, I forgot something more important. ”

By this time, Li Chengsen was no longer the slightest dissatisfied, and asked urgently: "What's the matter?" ”

"Why did Li Guodong suddenly become in a trance?" Xie Bangui said: "As far as I know, after Li Guodong went out that time, he went to a green building in the suburbs of the capital - Caiyu Pavilion. When I came back, the whole thing started to change. However, those sons and brothers didn't know what happened to Li Guodong in the Jade Pavilion that night......"

"But brother, I was negligent." Li Chengsen said: "I will send someone to Caiyu Pavilion, I must find out who Li Guodong saw and said that night, and then tell my brother in detail." ”

Xie Bangui arched his hand and said, "Then it's troublesome Brother Li." ”

"It should be done." Li Chengsen changed his words and said: "Why do I think that the investigation of the case by the elder brother is similar to the case of the living?" ”

Xie Bangui said with a smile: "Handling cases is much the same, ghosts are also reasonable, they rarely take the initiative to attack living people when there is no injustice or revenge, of course, cultivating demon skills and demon methods is another matter." ”

"I've seen it!" Li Chengsen stood up and said: "This time, my brother thinks too much, first compensate the two elder brothers, and then the two elder brothers will be in the Guozi Prison, pick good wine to drink, and eat good food, all the expenses will be borne by the Zhenfu Division, as long as the case can be solved, even if those princes' children want women, I will get you in." ”

Xie Bangui said with a smile: "Maybe, Brother Li will really have to help me get a woman in two days." ”

"Ahh

As soon as Li Chengsen left, Zhu Guangtong walked in with a wine jar: "Two brothers, come and taste it, the authentic Shaoxing flower carving, just shipped, has not been opened yet!" ”

The tall fat man patted his head and said, "Still drinking?" Aren't you afraid of falling into the vat and drowning? ”

Zhu Guangtong said with a bitter face: "Today is the day to visit relatives, and everyone else is spending the moon?" What are we doing without drinking? ”

"Can Guozijian still visit relatives?" Xie Bangui said with a strange face: "How do you make it look like a prison?" ”

"Aren't they all prisoners? Actually, it's pretty much the same. Zhu Guangdao: "The better thing about Guozijian than prison is that his wife is allowed to visit relatives, otherwise, those scholars who can't get out will not be able to suffocate one by one?" ”

The tall fat man picked up the window and said, "That little lady outside looks good!" ”

Zhu Guangtong glanced at it and said: "At that time, Guo Ji's wife in the B-shaped room, looking at the direction of the two of them, should be going to Wangyuejing." Mochizuki Well is a good place for me and me, but Guo Ji won't go, he is afraid of the well. ”

Guo Ji is afraid of the well, and he is not generally afraid, he trembles all over when he sees the well. Today, I don't know how the ghost sent the god to accompany his wife to the Mochizuki Well. Looking at the lady sitting on the edge of the well, Guo Ji couldn't help but feel in a trance.

Back then, with his childhood sweetheart's cousin, he liked to see the moon in the well the most. Back then, he also stood behind his cousin like this, pointing to the well water: "Look at Chang'e in the well!" ”

"Where?" When his cousin looked at the well with infinite shyness and surprise, he pushed hard behind him......

Thinking of this, Guo Ji couldn't help but shudder, how similar this scene was back then, just one sentence. I don't know if it was Guo Ji's knee-jerk reaction, or if his nerves were a little confused, Guo Ji pointed to the wellhead and said, "You see Chang'e in the well." ”

"Where?" Mrs. Guo crouched down at the mouth of the well and stopped.

Guo Ji said embarrassedly: "Without Chang'e, I lied to you!" ”

Mrs. Guo slowly turned her head and said gloomily: "Xianggong, don't push me into the well again!" ”

"You ......" Guo Ji only felt a cold current rushing from the soles of his feet to his scalp, and the head full of heads seemed to be about to stand up, causing his scalp to be numb for a while.

Mrs. Guo's hand gently passed through Guo Ji's armpits and gently wrapped her arms behind him, and her head lay on his shoulder: "Xianggong? Cousin? What shall I call you? When you pushed me down, the well was still frozen, how cold must it be? ”

"I ...... I ......" Guo Ji trembled up and down, unable to even say a complete sentence. The whole body stood there stiff and completely incapacitated, only the corner of his eye could still see the cold water, which continued to overflow his body along Mrs. Guo's collar, sliding from his shoulders to the soles of his feet like ice cubes.

Mrs. Guo's voice was colder than water: "I stood at the bottom of the well for a long time, watching the bucket on the reel fall from the mouth of the well every day, filling it with water above my head and carrying it back." I shouted and screamed desperately, hoping that someone would hear me and see me...... It's ridiculous I didn't know I was dead. ”

"No......" Guo Ji desperately tried to break free from the "nightmare", but he couldn't shake off the two hands on his body.

Mrs. Guo's voice seemed to be filled with ice chips, and the stinging in Guo Ji's ears fell: "Later, someone finally saw me!" He scooped up my head while fetching water. My head floated in a bucket like a weed. You said you like my head the most, the head soaked in water, do you still like it? ”

"Rao...... Spare me......" Guo Ji finally collapsed, his legs softened like mud, and the whole person involuntarily collapsed to the ground. Mrs. Guo grabbed his neck and retreated into the well little by little.

From behind, Guo Ji looked like a dead snake without bones, his face was against the ground, his body slid straight towards the wellhead, his head down, and his feet went up.

"Someone has fallen into a well!" A few sharp-eyed people rushed over and beckoned the nearby servants to move over the wheel and throw the bucket into the well: "Grab the bucket!" ”

Suddenly, a miserable white hand came out of the well, touched the rope behind the bucket and slapped the servant's wrist a few times. Several of the servants only felt a burning pain in their wrists as if they had been whipped over, and they involuntarily let go of their palms.

The "thump" of the barrel smashed down as if it had hit something, and there was another thump in the well, and then the sound of water bubbles tumbling kept coming.

Gu Qian, the assistant teacher who rushed to hear the news, pointed to a few servants and scolded angrily: "You bastards, you don't know that you deserve to save people, why are you still falling into the well?" ”

The servant trembled with fright, raised his arms and said in a trembling voice, "There are people in the well...... Someone hit my hand......"

"Nonsense...... Gu Qian clearly saw the black and purple handprints on the wrists of several servants, and he also shivered. I pretended to be brave and looked into the well, but I saw a human face like the moon that should be in the well, floating on the water.

Gu Qian's face was as frightened as earth, and he sat on the ground and shook like chaff: "Quick...... Fast...... Go and get Xie Bangui! ”

Xie Bangui was so drunk that he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed, and the tall fat man refused to go out even if he died. Gu Qian really had no choice, so he had to send someone to report to the two scholars and throw the matter to Shuntianfu.

The officials of Shuntian Mansion were busy until dawn before they fished Guo Ji's body.

As soon as the body came out of the water, everyone was dumbfounded, and it was indisputable that Guo Ji drowned in the well. What is scary is that Guo Ji is holding a highly decomposed corpse on his chest, judging from the extent of the corpse's decomposition, that person has been dead for at least two years, and even the internal organs have been rotten, leaving only a pair of white bones.

However, someone obviously saw that it was his wife who went to Mochizuki Well with Guo Ji last night, and it was the two of them who fell into the water. Doesn't that mean that Guo Ji has been living with a dead man for the past two years?

The person sent to Guo's mansion to report the news came back, and Mrs. Guo had a cold and high fever that did not go away, and she never went out at all last night. However, who was the person who came to Guozijian last night to meet Guo Ji?

From the officials of Shuntianfu to the scholars of Guozijian, they all felt numb in their scalps and didn't dare to think about it anymore. They are afraid, but the case still needs to be investigated.

The matter was in the Guozijian, borrowing the courage of Shuntianfu Yin, he didn't dare to push the case out in the name of "White Lotus Demon Man", so he had no choice but to shoot two Fucheng and take a dozen or so arresters to enter the Guozijian, on the one hand, in order to investigate the case, and on the other hand, to protect the scholars.

Seeing the two mansions, Xie Bangui actually felt a little ridiculous. There is no other reason, just because the two mansions are acquaintances, one of them is Han Yang, who was brutally rectified by Xie Bangui, and the other is Zhao Jindao, who has not been separated for a long time.

As soon as the tall fat man saw Zhao Jindao, he pretended to step forward, bowed deeply, and said humbly and cautiously: "Student Gao Sheng has seen an adult!" ”

Zhao Jindao was about to answer with a smile and laughter, but Han Yang took the first step between the two and said with disdain: "Lord Zhao, don't pay attention to these lowly and vulgar people, lest you lose your identity." ”

Zhao Jindao said coldly with a frosty face: "Lord Han had better pay attention to what he says, if even the only son of the Marquis of Zhenjiang and the future Marquis of the Tang Dynasty have become lowly and vulgar, then who can be called a meritorious nobleman?" ”

"This ......" Han Yang was scared out of a cold sweat on the spot.

The eldest son of the Duke of Rong Guogong of the Twelve Kingdoms of the Ming Dynasty, he waited for Gaodong in the town. Although he is only a marquis, he has a heavy army, and ordinary county kings and dukes dare not take it in front of him, let alone a small mansion with six grades? If what he said just now is heard, he will go to Zhenjiang to complain, and he will not have good fruit to eat.

Han Yang didn't even have time to wipe the cold sweat on his head, he grabbed it in front of the tall fat man in a few steps, and bowed down to make amends. The tall fat man flicked his sleeves and pulled Zhao Jindao to stride away, not even feeling good to look at him.

Han Yang was so anxious that he was like ants on a hot pot, and finally saw Zhu Guangtong standing next to him, and immediately seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, grabbed Zhu Guangtong's hand in a few steps and said, "Little grandfather, you have to help your brother make a round about this?" ”

Zhu Guangtong picked his thumb and said angrily: "You are so ruthless, I don't dare to say this, you came up and scolded the Gao family in, I think you are sleeping on the edge of the pit and not far from death ()!" ”
