Chapter 143: I heard important news

After Lin Tianyang recovered, he found that his strength had increased again, and it was not until his cultivation was stable that he withdrew the invisible array and put on new clothes, and then walked back to the post station in front.

At this time, the post station was already a few empty houses, the new head of the post station and the post man had not yet arrived, even Lin Tianyang's horses were gone, let alone food, and the two carrier pigeons brought by Lin Tianyang were also gone, I don't know if they were roasted and eaten or let go.

Fortunately, Lin Tianyang had food in his storage ring, and after Lin Tianyang ate some, he pasted two Shenxing Taibao talismans on his legs, and quickly rushed to Bingzhou.

This time, Lin Tianyang's speed was a little faster than before, and he soon arrived at the next post station, asked for a horse at the post station with his waist card, and continued to hurry.

A few days later, Lin Tianyang arrived in Bingzhou, and directly came to the yamen of the state capital in Bingzhou City.

After seeing Lin Tianyang's waist card, Lin Tianyang was led into the inner hall and met the governor of the state capital.

"Lin Zhutou, I don't know what you are doing in my state capital?" Fu Yin asked with a smile.

"I came out to investigate a homicide case, and I encountered something halfway through, delaying Lucheng, and I want to ask an adult to help me send a letter to the Criminal Department." Lin Tianyang replied.

Hearing Lin Tianyang's words, Fu Yin smiled and said, "This is easy, we have carrier pigeons here that lead to various yamen, and they can be delivered in one day." ”

"Then thank you, sir." When Lin Tianyang heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said.

"You're welcome, is there anything else you need our help with?" Fu Yin asked again.

"Then no, if you can, can you get me a horse with faster legs?" Lin Tianyang asked.

"Of course you can, that's as it should be." Fu Yin said with a smile.

Lin Tianyang washed up briefly, rested for a while, and then set off towards Pingyao City.

Pingyao City is only less than a thousand miles away from the state capital, and it is all official roads, Lin Tianyang got up early and arrived at night.

Lin Tianyang followed the address of the letter and found the house that wrote the letter to Sun Lan, which was actually a big courtyard, a somewhat generous courtyard.

Lin Tianyang didn't know if the current owner of this compound had anything to do with Sun Lan, and he couldn't startle the snake, so he stayed at an inn not far from the opposite side and asked for a room with a window facing the big courtyard.

"Guest, the food and drinks you want are here." The shopkeeper came with four dishes and a pot of wine.

"Okay, thank you, little second brother." Lin Tianyang said with a smile, then looked at the big courtyard opposite through the window and said, "The courtyard opposite is not small, it should be a rich family, right?" This location should be a sale, how do you feel like a resident? ”

"Guest officer, you are from out of town, I don't know, the owner of this big yard is a capable person, there are a lot of industries in our place, originally his yard is also an inn, people are rich, some are rich, so they demolished the inn and regarded it as their own yard." The shopkeeper also looked at the big courtyard that had been lit and said, then lowered his voice and said: "But they all say that his family's money is not right, and sometimes his house is haunted at night." ”

When Lin Tianyang heard this, he hurriedly said, "Haunted? I said little second brother, don't scare me, I'm too timid. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's okay, you can rest assured, the haunting of his house does not affect other people's homes, just a few days ago, his house made two haunts, but it was said that the owner of his house, Boss Ma, had a talisman, so he scared the ghosts who came to make trouble." ”

"Don't you come here to make trouble, do you?" Lin Tianyang asked again.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't come, ghosts are looking for people who have enemies with them, and rarely look for innocent people, these people around us are not affected, but if there is movement at night, you just pretend not to hear it." ”

Hearing this, Lin Tianyang nodded, took out a piece of broken silver, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Little second brother, tell me, what kind of ghost is coming to trouble them, anyway, I should listen to you while eating." ”

Seeing the silver in his hand, the shopkeeper was happy, put down the dinner plate, and said: "The owner of this yard is called Ma Wencheng, who used to be a small stall household, and he has always been a big deal, and his daughter-in-law also suffered, and then he didn't know what was going on, and took a concubine, and then his life slowly got better; Later, his wife ran away in a fit of rage, and his concubine gave birth to a son, and his business grew bigger and bigger. ”

Then the shopkeeper said some other things about Ma Wencheng, and some of them were still legends.

Lin Tianyang took a sip of wine and asked, "I said little second brother, since his family is doing well, why do ghosts go to his house to make trouble?" Is it because his family is doing well? Although this Pingyao City is not a big city, there should be a lot of rich people, and the ghosts will not find his house for no reason, right? ”

Hearing this question, the shopkeeper pulled over a stool, sat next to Lin Tianyang, leaned towards Lin Tianyang, and said in a low voice: "Some people say that the ghost is Ma Wencheng's wife, his wife did not run away, but was killed by them, and his concubine is also a very evil person, and they all say that she instigated Ma Wencheng to kill his wife." ”

"How is the concubine now? Is it still here? Lin Tianyang asked.

"Yes, of course, it's here, it's alive and well." The shopkeeper replied, and then continued: "By the way, this Ma Wencheng's concubine has a sister, who is also good, lived in his house for a few years, and left a few years ago, the concubine's name is Sun Qiuling, and her sister is called Sun Lan, some people say that the two of them married Ma Wencheng together, and the three of them killed Ma Wencheng's wife together." ”

Hearing the shopkeeper say Sun Lan's name, Lin Tianyang knew that he had found the right place, obviously this Sun Lan's death had something to do with the death of Ma Wencheng's wife.

Lin Tianyang poured a glass of wine and handed it to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Little second brother, what you said is a bit, it's unlikely that the two sisters will marry Ma Wencheng together, right?" And at that time, Ma Wencheng was not as developed as it is now, could it be that these two Sun sisters were children of poor families? ”

The shopkeeper took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "This is just a legend, but the pair of Sun sisters are not children of poor families, both of them are fine-skinned and tender-skinned, and although they are now in their forties, they are still charming, which is very attractive." ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, and then took a sip of wine.

"That must be something attractive about Ma Wencheng, otherwise there would be no sisters to marry him together." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Well, it's possible, but I look like an ordinary person." ”

"That's because you're a man too." Lin Tianyang said with a smile.

"Hehehehehe..." Hearing Lin Tianyang's words, the shopkeeper smiled, stretched out his thumb to Lin Tianyang, and said, "They are all fellow believers." ”

"Little Er, Little Er, where did you go?" Just then, there was a shout outside.

"Hey, here we are..." The shopkeeper hurriedly answered, then put down the wine glass, took the plate and ran out.

Lin Tianyang has already heard the news he wants to inquire, he has determined that Sun Lan's death has something to do with Ma Wencheng's wife, and he can also be sure that Ma Wencheng's wife must have had an accident, and nine times out of ten she was killed; But if the ghost who came to Ma Wencheng's house to haunt Ma Wencheng's wife was Ma Wencheng's wife, then who killed Sun Lan? That's not a ghost, there is no ghost breath at all, and judging from the traces of the scene, it is indeed the appearance of a tree, but there is no demonic energy, which is not quite right, is it a martial arts master disguised? There's no evidence to prove it.

I didn't think about it, Lin Tianyang simply didn't want to, anyway, now that Ma Wencheng and his concubine are alive and well, those ghosts must have come to find them, just stay here.

Lin Tianyang continued to drink and eat food, while staring at the big courtyard opposite, although it was dark, it did not affect his vision.

By the time he arrived, most of the lights in the city had been extinguished, only a few were still on, and the lights of the Ma family had also been extinguished, and only the two lamps in the gatehouse were still lit.

Lin Tianyang kept staring at the large courtyard opposite, until the time came, the two lanterns at the gatehouse shook, and then a breeze came out, and the two lights went out.

"It's coming!" Lin Tianyang said softly, this time he should be able to know how Sun Lan died.

After the breeze blew, two figures slowly drifted close to the courtyard of the Ma family, and floated in along the wall.

Lin Tianyang took out two talismans, pasted them on his body, then pushed open the window, jumped out, and came to the door of the Ma family with a vertical leap, and then jumped into the courtyard of the Ma family.

At this time, the courtyard of the Ma family was empty, and the two ghosts went straight to the backyard, and Lin Tianyang also followed and touched the backyard.

When the two ghosts came to the backyard, they floated towards the gate in the middle.

Just when the two ghosts came to the gate a foot away, the door opened with a "squeak", and two people came out of it, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged Taoist priest, and the middle-aged man was Ma Wencheng.

"Two little ghosts dare to come here to do evil? Brother Ma, don't be afraid, just leave it to me. The Taoist priest said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, dude." Ma Wencheng said with a smile.

"No trouble, it should be." The Taoist priest said with a smile, then pulled out a peachwood sword from his back, and then with a shake of his left hand, he took out a few more talismans, and rushed towards the two ghosts.

The two ghosts were obviously afraid of this Taoist priest, and immediately dodged to the side.

Seeing the two ghosts frightened by the Taoist priest, Ma Wencheng's face showed a smug smile.
