The shoes were steaming hot on the brazier, I squinted my eyes and asked Niu Meng, "Niu Meng, how much do you know about the rumors that Cheng Fu is the general of Faqiu Zhonglang?" ”

"What? What's the matter? ”

"General Faqiu Zhonglang is the one who robs the tomb."

"Oooh oh...... Tomb robber, this matter was heard from a Taoist priest, just after the accident, we were investigating near Chengfu. When I went to the tavern to rest, I met a stinky Taoist priest who looked like he was in his forties, right?

The stinky Taoist priest said that Cheng Fu was originally a tomb robber, and took something from the ancient tomb that should not be taken, and now he was asked for his life by the unjust soul, and he died innocently.

We asked him, what did Cheng Fu take?

The stinky Taoist priest said, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, don't ask, who knows who will die. Later, word spread. ”

I frowned slightly, hung my socks aside, and told Niu Meng, "Most of the current Taoist priests are swaggering and deceiving under the banner, and most of these words are also nonsense to fool people." ”

Niu Meng held a wooden stick in his left hand, picked up my shoes, and picked up the cigarette pouch and pot with his right hand and smoked it.

"Brother Jiu, didn't Brother Nan Ya let you take care of this matter? Why did you suddenly ask again? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that a woman paid me to help her look into it."

As soon as I finished speaking, Niu Meng suddenly coughed violently, coughed for a long time, stared at me with wide eyes and asked, "Is that woman very beautiful?" Like a fairy? ”

I shook my head, "It's pretty but it's beautiful, but it's not a fairy." ”

"That'...... This woman only gives money? ”

"Or else?"

Niu Meng's expression was puzzled, "Brother Jiu, I know your rules, just do things if you give money." However, which of the eight people who died was the one who was short of money? I've heard ......"

"What did you hear?"

"I heard that the woman also made other conditions, such as ...... Getting married, sleeping like this......" Niu Meng said, his face turned red.

Don't look at Niu Meng's ruggedness, in fact, he is still a child, and he blushes when he talks to other girls.

I gave me a blank look, "Where did you hear about this?" ”

"That's what you say, otherwise who would want to die just for money?"

I waved my hand and replied, "Okay, okay, hearsay is not accurate, I don't see other girls like that." You are ready to prepare tonight, come with me to Chengfu. ”

Niu Meng shook his head like a rattle, "I'm not going, it's okay for Lord Fu Yin to know that you're fine, I can't eat and walk around." ”

"Look at your cowardice, I've already told my uncle, Uncle Fu Yin's side will talk about it, you just follow me. I'll say a few things, you are ready, come and look for me in my shop at night. ”

"It's not...... Brother Jiu, are you really going to check? ”

Actually, I didn't have that much curiosity at first, but now that I know so much, I feel more and more curious.

Especially the girl named Tang Jinghong, did she take care of the eight people who died before? Why did she investigate the murder of Cheng Fu? Or is it as rumored, attracting men Yuanyang......

I told Niu Meng to go and see the situation tonight, and I said another thing if I didn't check it.

Niu Meng's Chinese face suddenly wrinkled, "Brother Jiu, do you think there will really be ghosts in this world?" ”

I dragged Niu Meng's cigarette pouch and pot and knocked it on his brain, "What do you think, have you ever seen anything strange after so many years of autopsy and cremation?" ”

Niu Meng didn't know whether it was a real pain or a fake pain, so he grinned for a while, and then thought about it with a serious expression.

Shaking his head, he told me, "That's what you say...... I don't think I've ever ......."

I replied to him, "What are the demons and monsters in this world?" Every day I hear it, my friend says, how can I see it myself? I can't believe what I hearsay. ”

Niu Meng nodded again, "What Brother Jiu said makes sense, this is what it means for three people to become tigers, right?" ”

I sighed softly, "Mengzi, let's read more books in the future, hurry up and help me bake my shoes, and remember to come to me at night." ”

Niu Meng still seemed to be a little worried, and did not agree.

Later, I repeatedly promised that Fu Yin would not blame Niu Meng before agreeing to accompany me.

By the time I left the yamen, the rain had stopped.

Colorful rainbows appeared in the air, and I saw many people beating gongs and drums on the street, and some people even took out iron pots to beat.

People call Changhong a dragon to absorb water, everyone thinks that after the rain, the colorful dragon appears in order to suck away the rainwater on the ground, so the gong and drum are used to scare away Changhong.

I don't know why rainbows always appear after rain, but I'm pretty sure it's not a dragon.

I went to the bazaar to buy some things, and it was already evening when I returned to the vicinity of Gongyuan.

"Ninth Prince, are you busy again?" The cloth-clad shopkeeper greeted me with a smile.

I shook my head, picked up the things in my hand and gestured, "It's raining, what's the work, go out and buy something." ”

"It's going to be alive soon."

"Huh?" I was a little puzzled, thinking that the shopkeeper was trying to find me to do something.

"There is a girl, all the way to inquire about Yishui Pavilion there, it rained and came, and she has been standing at the door of your shop and waiting, and she hasn't left yet, it looks like a lady, Jiu Gongzi go back and take a look."

"Thank you for the reminder, I have time to go to the shop to eat and drink."

Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand, "Neighbors, what are you polite, go back quickly." ”

After saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, I went back to the shop in a hurry.

There are a lot of people who usually look for me to do things, and there are many dignitaries and nobles, and everyone is a frequent visitor, so naturally they will not go back to meet people in a panic because of a girl.

When I returned to the door of Yishui Pavilion, I saw a girl sitting on the steps of the door.

Wear a long light green dress, hug your knees, and bury your head in your arms.

I walked over and coughed lightly.

The girl didn't respond.

Asleep?

"Girl?"

"Girl."

"Girl!"

I shouted three times in a row, but the girl was still indifferent, so I had to gently shake her shoulder with my hand.

The girl finally reacted, raised her head, looked sleepy-eyed, and rubbed her eyes with her small and delicate fist.

I was stunned, "Miss Tang......"

Tang Jinghong was also stunned, "How do you know that my surname is Tang?" ”

"Didn't the girl tell me?"

"Have we met?" Tang Jinghong's expression was a little puzzled.

"Didn't Miss Tang come to me at noon?"

"Noon? You are...... The Nine Sons of Yishui Pavilion? Tang Jinghong looked even more surprised.

I feel that something is wrong, this Tang Jinghong is not the same as the Tang Jinghong at noon. Now this Tang Jinghong is soft and soft, giving people a feeling of weak willow supporting the wind.

And at noon, Tang Jinghong was generous.

I nodded at Tang Jinghong, "Nan Jiu, the shopkeeper of Yishui Pavilion, Miss Tang come in." ”

I opened the door, Tang Jinghong stood at the door and didn't come in, poked his head out and looked inside cautiously, and then walked in.

Only then did I notice that Tang Jinghong's clothes were all wet, so he must have come to me in the rain.

"Miss Tang, there are clean clothes upstairs, you go and change them, otherwise you will easily catch the wind and cold, I will go and make you some ginger soup."

Tang Jinghong nodded, "Are there any clothes for the girl's family?" ”

"Yes, the shopkeeper of the cloth village next door gave me some, saying that if I meet a good person in the future, I can give it to others."

As soon as I finished speaking, Tang Jinghong's face turned red, looking a little shy, nodded again, took small steps, and ran up.

I went to boil ginger soup, longan, lotus seeds, brown sugar water, after all, Tang Jinghong looked a little weak.

After boiling, Tang Jinghong had already changed his clothes and came down.

I handed her the brown sugar water, "Miss Tang, drink it while it's hot." ”

Tang Jinghong took the bowl, stared at me with wide eyes and asked, "Jiugongzi has been in the back for so long, aren't you afraid that I will steal the things in the shop?" ”

"It's all worthless things, there's nothing to steal, I've hidden all the silver."

Tang Jinghong laughed out loud, quickly covered his mouth, and then took the bowl and drank all the brown sugar water in the bowl in one go.

When Tang Jinghong put the bowl on the table, I asked her, "Miss Tang, about the murder of Chengfu......

Before I finished asking, Tang Jinghong looked at me in surprise, "How did the Ninth Prince know that I was here for the murder of Cheng Mansion?" ”

I frowned slightly, "Didn't Miss Tang come to me at noon?" ”

Tang Jinghong shook his head, "Jiu Gongzi must have remembered wrong, I was still at home at noon and never came." ”

"Miss Tang's name is Tang Jinghong?"

Tang Jinghong nodded.

"Look, you haven't been here, how do I know your name is Tang Jinghong."

"But I really haven't been here."

“…………”

My first reaction was that Tang Jinghong might have a twin sister or sister or something, but the twins wouldn't all have the same name.

I remembered that my grandfather used to say that after some people are injured, they forget some things, especially brain injuries.

Could it be that after Tang Jinghong left at noon, he hit his head?

"Miss Tang, can I take your pulse?"

Tang Jinghong suddenly became a little nervous, and his face turned red, "I...... I wasn't sick, I just ...... It's just that the menstrual affair is coming. ”

"Uh...... Miss Tang misunderstood, I know a little about the art of Qi Huang, seeing that the girl's complexion is weak, I want to diagnose the girl's pulse, if there is a hidden disease, it is good to prescribe a prescription. ”

"That'...... All right. Tang Jinghong said, handing over his left hand.

I checked Tang Jinghong's pulse, everything was normal, and asked if there was any discomfort in my body and whether I had encountered anything recently.

After a lot of looking and asking, I couldn't find any problems.

"Miss Tang really forgot to come at noon?" I asked her again.

Tang Jinghong looked hesitant, hesitated for a long time, and whispered a sentence, "I have seen a doctor before, and the doctor said that I have dream walking syndrome......"

It dawned on me that this would make sense.

Dreamwalking, also known as sleepwalking, is a very rare condition. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Mengde had sleepwalking disorder and killed people in his dreams. However, grandpa once said that Cao Mengde's sleepwalking syndrome has a certain relationship with his headache.

But...... I always felt that Tang Jinghong was weird.
