Chapter 2: Rumors of Haunting

The servants were not in a hurry to leave, because there was not much space under the eaves, so they took shelter from the rain by the wall and watched the suspects while guarding the corpses.

"On the seventh day of the night, go to the carriage and make a pot of ginseng tea and give a point to those officials." Rong Zhou also commanded softly, and no one spoke at this time, and his words fell into the ears of others.

The officials hurriedly shirked it, and Rong Zhou also waved his hand to signal that he was not in the way.

"Forget it, it's raining right now, where are you going to boil water?" Yun Luo pursed her lips unnaturally, then took out some petals from her purse and handed them to Ye Qi: "Just soak this in the water for a while." ”

Ye Qi hesitated while holding the petals, Yun Luo cut and leaned towards Qingchuan: "Are you still worried that this girl will not be poisoned?" ”

"Go ahead." Rong Zhou also whispered, and Ye Qi hurriedly escorted the petals to the carriage.

"What kind of petals are they?" He looked at the girl who was still pouting, but what he thought in his heart was that it was not good to offend her. After all, his life is in her hands, and to make her unhappy is to find guilt for himself.

Yun Luo snorted lightly, and said a little proudly: "The medicine to ward off the cold, Xue Mei San." ”

"I've heard of it a little, but this snow plum powder is not easy to make, and you need to nourish the plum blossoms that bloom in the wax moon with medicine to make snow plum powder." He was a little surprised, this girl's identity is not ordinary, that kind of medicine is aunt, and it can't be said that she can just take it out and divide it......

As he spoke, he soaked the snow plum and gave a bowl to the officials, but fortunately, there were many guys who ate in the carriage, and it was enough.

The officials had just heard their conversation, and they all knew that this was a good thing, so they took the bowl and drank it without leaking, and then thanked them again and again.

Yun Luo was a little shy by Xie and hid behind Qingchuan, and Rong Zhouyi, who originally had some complaints about her, also seemed to have discovered her arbitrariness.

Early the next morning, the corpses and the suspects present were taken to the yamen. carried two corpses into the city at once, but it attracted many onlookers from the people.

The county magistrate sat in the hall and looked at the two corpses below and asked carefully about the incident last night.

"They can all go, why can't we? We are also outsiders, and we have nothing to do with them. Yun Luo puffed out her mouth to express her dissatisfaction, it was one thing for her to want to stay, and it was another thing for others to force her to stay.

As soon as the county order was shocked, Qingchuan flew over with an eye knife, which made people tremble for a while, and his voice was a little weaker: "A few of you are outsiders, but it doesn't seem to be idle, maybe you murdered people on a whim." ”

Rong Zhou also glanced at Qingchuan with some disgust, this person is quite reckless in the rivers and lakes. For Yun Luo's sake, he didn't show it too obviously, turned his eyes to look at the two corpses on the ground and said: "The cause of death of these two people is unknown, when we saw this Lord Zhou, he suddenly fell from the beam, and the body hung on the beam." ”

"You also said that you don't know the deceased, how do you know that he is Lord Zhou if you don't know?" The county magistrate was shocked again, and the head catcher on the side answered weakly: "My lord, I called the names of the two adults when I was at the scene." ”

Yun Luo saw that the county commander's face was a little red, and she grimaced at him.

"Hmph, what does all this have to do with whether you are murderers or not?" The county order was also lacking in confidence, so he didn't shoot Tang Mu again, but looked at Rong Zhou and asked rhetorically.

"My lord, these people were all in the main hall when we entered, how could they have a chance to hide their corpses? This is enough to prove that the death of this Lord Zhou has nothing to do with us. ”

He looked like he was talking and laughing, and what he said was reasonable. After hearing this, the county magistrate nodded frequently, feeling that there was some truth.

"Then you said that Lord Wang's death, how can you clear the suspicion?"

Rong Zhou also thought for a moment and said, "I can't prove this, everyone didn't know how he died at that time." However, a few of us were the first to come out of the main hall, but we were all strong in martial arts, so we were naturally suspicious. ”

Yun Luo heard that something was wrong, turned her head and frowned and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Stupid, don't you want to know what the curse they are talking about?" He whispered in her ear, this girl was curious yesterday when the old gentleman said retribution, and now she will not make an excuse to stay, and there will be no reason to get involved in the case after that.

Since she came down the mountain, she has not said how to heal herself, and he has always been relieved in his heart, thinking of using this to please the little girl, maybe when she is happy, she will make a move.

Yun Luo poked her chin with her finger, and was instantly convinced, turned her head to the county commander and said with a smile: "Yes, we are suspicious, so we have to stay to prove that we are not suspicious." ”

"In this case, you people will leave the road behind, and the local ones will leave their addresses to wait for summons at any time, and you will find an inn and wait for you. Li Zhutou, you take them to the inn. ”

"Let me do a careful autopsy, and be sure to find out the cause of death."

"Quit!"

The county order arranged everything in an orderly manner, and everyone did as she told them.

On the way to the inn, Yunluo was crazy, and bought a box of rouge for a while, and a bracelet for a while. It didn't take long for Ye Qi and Kiyokawa to hold many boxes in their arms.

Ye Qi complained a little in his heart about the county order - what to do with the good temporary carriage, he wanted to take so many things.

"Li Zhutou, do you know some rumors about that Guanyin Temple?" Rong Zhou also didn't have a fight, but talked to the head catcher very politely, which flattered the head catcher.

"Childe just call me Lao Li, don't bother your subordinates." Seeing him nodding, Lao Li continued: "There was a rumor in the first two years that caused a lot of uproar. ”

"Three years ago, several merchants died near the temple, and it was all that was needed to find the body and find the murderer. It's no wonder that the body has never been found, and the county magistrate at that time was not this one, but the somewhat fat Lord Xu who was with Lord Wang and them in the temple. Lord Xu didn't let people search carefully at that time, and the matter became an unsolved case. ”

"But not long after that incident, some people said that they had encountered a ghost in the temple, and when they passed by in the middle of the night, they heard the sound of crying and crying for help inside, and some people dared to go in and take a look, but found that there was no one."

"As soon as this matter spread, this town was so big that in the end, no one dared to go to that temple anymore."

Lao Li has been on an errand here for a long time, and he knows a lot about these things.

"Just a ghost? It can't be a delusion, right? Yun Luo held a piece of candied fruit in her hand and asked, then patted her small purse and said, "I have a lot of medicines that can make people hallucinate and hallucinate." ”

Lao Li didn't doubt this sentence at all, after all, this girl was someone who could take Xue Meisan.

"There are also people who don't believe in evil in the middle of the night who organize a bunch of people to 'catch ghosts', and they are all scared back. The people who came back that night said that they said that they saw a bunch of unjust spirits outside the window, others said that the unjust souls were floating around in the main hall, and some even more strange said that they heard the voice of unjust souls looking for their lives. ”

"This is not credible, maybe someone is pretending to be a ghost, but when these people came back, they all fell ill, and they were not so scared that the doctor couldn't find out the cause of the disease, and finally Lord Xu invited a monk to do the ritual, and these people got better."

Yun Luo's eyes widened and she swallowed: "Is this true or fake?" Sick together and healed together? ”

"Really, I was the one who was in charge of inviting the monks at that time, and I did the Dharma for two days. The first day it was done in the town and the next day in the temple. After doing the rituals, several adults also deliberately paid out of their own pockets to rebuild the Guanyin Temple, saying that they asked the Bodhisattva to bless them. ”

"It's just that no one dares to go to the incense anymore, and then the temple will be what it is now."

Rong Zhou was also a little surprised, this head catcher knew that it was so detailed, so he didn't have to bother to inquire in the future. But he knew in his heart that this was Yunluo's Xue Meisan who had bought people's hearts, and he hooked his lips and smiled slightly.

"Have these two adults offended anyone? What are the responsibilities of the yamen? Rong Zhou also took advantage of the fact that he hadn't arrived at the inn yet, thinking about asking more questions as soon as possible.

Lao Li is also honest, he didn't treat them as bad people, how could people who felt sorry for their servants be bad people? So they were all answered.

"Lord Wang is the master bookkeeper, and this week Lord is in charge of the officer's room. These two adults are usually low-key and don't often have bad relationships with people. If you really say that you have offended people...... How can our current county master offend people. ”

Rong Zhou also nodded slightly at him, and said softly: "Thank you Lao Li, I will invite you to drink another day." ”

"How dare you, this inn has arrived, please go inside."

Lao Li sent people in, and repeatedly told the store to take care of a few customers, and then turned around and went back to the errand.

Yun Luo sat at the table, fiddling with all kinds of novelties that she had bought that she had never seen on the mountain, and Rong Zhou also asked with a smile: "Is it enough to buy so much?" ”

"If you can't use it up, you can give it away, anyway, you have to go to Baicao Valley, so it should be a gift for them." Yunluo turned over a small mirror and came out and couldn't put it down, looking left and right, how to look at how satisfied.

"How do you think these two people died?" Rong Zhou was also very happy to humbly ask this little girl for advice in this regard, Yun Luo waved her hand at Qingchuan, pushed the thing to look at him and said, "How did you die......

"This one should be asked a little better, they are more interested in the dead. But I learned a little from others, first of all, that Lord Zhou definitely didn't hang himself, because the position of the rope print was wrong. ”

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue at Rong Zhouyi, and then continued: "Just now I looked like I was hanged, his expression didn't change much, but it looked like he died suddenly. ”

"Sudden death?" Rong Zhou also asked incomprehensibly, she nodded and said: "It's like a slap to death or sudden death, the former is an internal injury, the surface is intact, but the internal organs are damaged. The latter is a sudden and unavoidable death, usually in people with a bad heart or overwork. ”

Rong Zhou was stunned, and said with a smile: "I know a lot about this." ”

"I've heard others say this, but I don't think either of these are the cause of Lord Zhou's death."

"How?"

Yun Luo touched her chin, and said while thinking about the appearance of the corpse: "If you are killed by internal injuries, your mouth and nose and even the seven orifices will bleed, and if you die suddenly, then it is not that he killed it." What can cause sudden death be poisoned or what is ......? ”

Rong Zhou also saw that she couldn't think of it and didn't force her to ask, so he said softly: "That's it, don't think about it if you can't think about it, there are all the tricks in the yamen, and there will be results after the autopsy." ”

"That's all there is to it, but there is still a little doubt, both bodies have no external injuries, where did the blood come from?"
