"Your Excellency is frightened."

Early the next morning, rumors of the haunting in the inn had already spread.

Zengshou frowned, looking annoyed. Luo Fan sighed: "Now that the nobles of the princess's mansion are frightened by ghosts, how can this be good." ”

The county clerk and the chief bookkeeper, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't want to take this hot potato.

The master bookkeeper mustered up the courage and said, "It's better to ,...... It is better to ask the adults and nobles to move to live in the county ya, and it is not too late to go on the road when the nobles are relieved. ”

"This ...... Your county government is not clean, but it was Mrs. Mai who came last night, and she said in person that Mai County Order should be killed, and one life should be worth one life, if we go to the county government to live, it will not happen to be served by others. Zengshou said on the side.

"This ......"

Xiancheng thought to himself, it was a big sin to alarm the nobles of the princess's mansion, who didn't know that Princess Changping was very powerful, and it really annoyed her, it was not fun.

"My lord, you think, since it is Mrs. Mai's ghost, why didn't she make trouble in the county office, but came to the post house, which shows that there must be something she taboos in the county office, and the so-called most dangerous place is the safest, my lord."

The master bookkeeper continued to persuade: "Actually, I haven't dared to tell the adults that this post house is not clean. ”

Zengshou's eyes glared: "What's not clean?" What does this mean? ”

Xian Cheng sighed and said, "Do the two adults know Nan Yuntao?" ”

"That new science and technology scholar who went to Jianghuai to check the fu?"

Luo Fan had an impression of this person, frowned and said, "In August last year, this person committed suicide due to restlessness. But he committed suicide in Huai'an, what does it have to do with your post house? ”

The county man sighed and said: "My lord doesn't know, this Nanjinshi is a native of Jimo, Shandong, and our grandfather, oh, and Mai County Ling have the same teacher, who is of the same age, and has a bit of friendship." He was the vacancy of Huai'an alternate magistrate in June, this Nanjinshi poetry and articles are good, and he is very favored by the imperial court. There is a bit of self-harm in the county's feelings.

Zengshou raised his eyebrows, very impatient: "What does Nanjinshi have to do with your post house, what are you doing for a long time?" Who wants to listen to these things about old sesame seeds and rotten grain. ”

"Yes, yes, Xia Guan will explain it simply." The county man nodded again and again, "Nan Jinshi and our grandfather are old people, and they set off from the capital to Xianghe County, and our grandfather set up a banquet to entertain them, and the guests and hosts were happy." That night, Nanxian Ling lived in this post house, but that night there was a commotion, Nan Jinshi shouted in his sleep, I don't want to die, alarmed the servants around him, and the next day he had a high fever and had a serious illness, our grandfather ...... Oh, it was Mai County Order to take it to the county government compound, and ask the best doctor in the city to take care of it, and the lower officials listened to it, and the Nan County Order said that there was a female ghost in this post house, and the female ghost was holding a nepot, coercing and luring him to hang himself, and at the same time smiled and said that he would not hang himself in the post house today, and he would definitely hang himself in office one day, and sooner or later he would not be able to escape a dead cloud, and he was frightened by the female ghost that night and was a big illness because of his sanity. Speaking of this, the county shook his head and sighed.

"After Nan Jinshi recovered from his illness, he continued to go to Jiangsu to take up his post, who would have thought that he would really hang himself in office." The chief bookkeeper said in a regretful tone, "When the news came, Mai Xianling cried bitterly, and also set up an incense case to worship, and at that time he said that he should not be asked to go to Huai'an, the female ghost has already warned that he was the one who harmed Nanjinshi." My lord, look at it, there are really ghosts in this post station, and Nan Jinshi moved to the county government before his body slowly recovered. ”

Luo Fan bowed his head and said nothing, and he sneered three times when he increased his longevity: "Then Nan Jinshi lived in the county government, isn't there still no way to avoid the fate of self-hanging?" ”

The county gentleman wiped the sweat on his forehead, and his heart was clear, and I was wasting saliva in vain.

"My lord, what did the ghost say last night?" The master asked.

"I just said that I wanted Mai County to pay for my life."

"That's it, this ghost should be Mrs. Mai, she just hates the Mai County Order, and it won't have any bad impact on adults and nobles in the future, but there have been a few haunted incidents in this post house, and the nobles' health is important, so please move the adults." The master book continued to persuade with kind words.

"You seem to have a lot of point." Zengshou rolled his eyes.

Luo Fan lowered his head and pondered, and then suddenly there was a crying sound, and Xiao Shunzi ran in a panic: "Master, master, Miss Qin is starting to have a fever again." ”

"It's better to move to the government office immediately, and wait for the nobleman's health to improve before continuing on the road."

The master book and the county Cheng suggested together.

The county has always been the Mai County Ling family to live, the Mai family has a simple population, only two husband and wife, and a personal maid, that is, the seventh day of the first month, a cook, an old watchman. They are all locals and hired in Xianghe.

The courtyard in the county government is actually not big, there are only three rooms in it, one room for two Qincha, one for Qin Jiu, and the rest of the guards have to live in the outer courtyard.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the county government is a little cramped, and I ask you to forgive me."

The master bookkeeper arranged the room and apologized repeatedly.

"Alas, as long as Miss Qin's illness is cured as soon as possible." Luo Fan suddenly remembered something, "Why, didn't the government and the governor send a letter?"

Yesterday, he had already handed over a letter to the chief secretary and the county magistrate, asking them to send someone to the government and the governor, stating that the Mai County Order was suspected of killing his wife and needed to be temporarily detained for investigation, and that officials were required to temporarily take charge of Xianghe County during this period. It's been a whole day, and it's time for a reply.

"I haven't heard back yet, maybe we'll be there tonight."

Seeing that Luo Fan and Zengshou didn't like to look at it, the master said cautiously.

There was a lot of trouble last night, so after dinner tonight, the people in the inner and outer courtyards went to bed early.

Luo Fan closed his eyes, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he heard a mournful cry in a daze.

He opened his eyes and looked around, only to see a rope sticking out of the window facing the bed.

The rope was like a snake, winding in, dangling, and swinging a few times towards Luo Fan, as if to say you come here, come here.

Luo Fan was furious: "Who is the demon, he dares to pretend to be a ghost in front of the angels." ”

The rope was dangling, and it was about to wrap around his neck, when he suddenly reprimanded: "How dare you?" ”

This was a woman's voice, a faint female shadow came out of the crack in the window, grabbed the rope, threw it down, and at the same time deeply blessed Luo Fan: "My lord, I can't tell the difference between people and ghosts, please take care." ”

"Ahh Luo Fan opened his eyes and saw the moonlight shining on the ground through the window, the room was shrouded in silver moonlight, and everything around him was blurry.

There seemed to be a strong smell of smoke in the room, and he sniffed again, making sure it was smoke.

Oops, there's a fire in the neighborhood!

He hurriedly got up to put out the fire, and as soon as he sat up, his chest hurt like a pinprick.

"How so? How did I get stuck like this? He held his breath and condensed, and secretly said in his heart: I'm afraid that if I fall into someone else's way, I can't exert all my strength, will I be burned here?
