Luoyang City, the old capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, is still prosperous at the beginning, although it is already the willow tops on the moon, the street is still brightly lit and full of people.

"Brother Hu, you handled Shen Shikang's case so beautifully, and the brothers are all convinced of you now!"

In a restaurant by the Luoshui River, Cao Xiaohui took a glass of wine and drank it all, looking at Nie Xiaohu with two big watery eyes, his eyes were full of admiration, and even a little admiration.

"A small case, why worry about it, it's hard brothers!" , Nie Xiaohu smiled and gave a toast in return.

"Alas!"

Just as Nie Xiaohu and the others were pushing the cups and changing the lamps, chatting and laughing, a few long sighs came from the adjacent table.

Nie Xiaohu frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but turn his head to look over, it turned out to be a young man in his twenties, sitting there alone drinking stuffy wine, and sighing from time to time.

"Brother Tai, have you encountered any troubles?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

The young man turned his head to look at Nie Xiaohu, took a drink from the wine glass, and then said, "This official, the baby is bitter!" After saying that, he shook his head and placed the wine glass heavily on the table.

"Oh?" , Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly, "Why don't you tell me about it?" ”

"Will you listen?"

"Naturally!"

"That's good! Then I'll tell you about it! ”

The young man was already a little drunk, and said a little vaguely: "I have a good match, named Xiaoli, who looks beautiful like a flower, we have grown up together since childhood, and we can be called childhood sweethearts, two little guesses." However, just a year ago, she fell in love with a little white face from out of town, and ran away with others!

Half a year later, she came back, it turned out that the little white face fell in love with someone else again, abandoned her, I forgave her, comforted her, and made her happy, but just half a year ago, she fell in love with a little white face again, and ran away with someone else!

Just a few days ago, she came back again, saying that she was dumped again, I still like her very much in my heart, and I really want to accept her again, but I am aggrieved!

This official, you say, what should I do? ”

Hearing this, Cao Xiaohui's face was already full of disdain, and Tang Yibin and the others were also disdainful.

Nie Xiaohu smiled, "Binzi, borrow your sword." ”

"Give", Tang Yibin put the long sword on the table.

Nie Xiaohu picked up the scabbard and aimed the hilt at the young man, "Draw the sword." ”

The young man looked at Nie Xiaohu with suspicious eyes, stood up staggeringly, hesitated slightly, reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, and slowly pulled out the sword.

Nie Xiaohu pointed at the young man with his sword scabbard, and asked with a smile, "Do you understand?" ”

The young man stared at the empty scabbard in Nie Xiaohu's hand for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean that I want to be like this scabbard and have a tolerant heart to accept her?" ”

Nie Xiaohu shook his head lightly and said lightly: "You are a cheap (sword)!" ”

"I'll go!"

Cao Xiaohui, Tang Yibin and others instantly flipped over from their chairs.

"Phew! Bang! ……”

Not far away, there was a constant explosion of explosions, followed by colorful fireworks in the sky.

"What beautiful fireworks!" Cao Xiaohui looked at the fireworks in the sky outside the window, and a childlike smile bloomed on her face.

"Let's go out for a walk!" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Cao Xiaohui.

"Okay!" , Cao Xiaohui nodded.

Tang Yibin and the others on the side seemed to have discussed it in advance, and they all sat there motionless.

When I got out of the shop and came out into the street, I had just walked a few steps when I heard a great commotion on the street not far ahead, mixed with shouting.

"Something's wrong!" , Nie Xiaohu instinctively became nervous, and at this time, Tang Yibin and others also heard the sound and followed.

"Let's go, go over and have a look!" , several people immediately ran towards the place of the accident.

The accident occurred at a pharmacy on the street, and people kept running out of the gate at this time.

"What's wrong?!" , Nie Xiaohu stopped a person who had just run out and asked.

"Ghosts! Ghost! Kill! The man ran away almost frantically.

Nie Xiaohu and the others didn't hesitate anymore and rushed in like the wind. Following the flow of people running out, they entered the backyard of the pharmacy, which was not large, surrounded by high brick walls, and in the center there was a large tree with lush leaves, the trunk was very thick, enough to be the diameter of three people hugging.

There was a bamboo chair under the big tree, and a middle-aged man next to him fell to the ground with a short knife stuck in his chest, and he was already exhausted. On the ground behind the big tree, there are more than a dozen fireworks that have been set off side by side, and some of the fireworks canisters still have a trace of green smoke.

Not far to the left of the corpse, there were five or six small wooden benches scattered upside down, and some flutes, pipas and other musical instruments were placed horizontally and vertically on the ground.

After a period of busy work by Tang Yibin and others, the order of the scene was finally stabilized, and when they saw that someone was coming, the frightened people in the backyard also stopped, and the noisy backyard suddenly quieted down.

"Can any of you tell me what just happened?" , Nie Xiaohu looked around at the people around him.

"This official", a middle-aged woman walked in front of Nie Xiaohu crying, "I am the master's wife, Zhao, and it was my lord who died." ”

"What's your master's name?"

"My lord's surname is Shen, and he is the boss here," Zhao said cryingly.

"What happened just now, and how was Master Shen killed?"

"It's not a human, it's a ghost!" , Zhao's eyes showed a look of horror again, "It's a ghost who killed the master!" ”

Nie Xiaohu and Cao Xiaohui were both stunned, the corners of Nie Xiaohu's mouth curled slightly, and said, "Okay, then you tell me what the 'ghost' looks like, and how did he commit murder?" ”

"That ghost is a black shadow, coming and going without a trace, he suddenly appeared, fell from the sky, killed the old man with a knife, and then disappeared again!" , Zhao said in a panic.
