The whole hall suddenly became silent, except for the occasional dog barking outside, and the posture of the ghosts standing in a row on both sides immediately became serious, and they all deliberately controlled their breathing, and their waists were straighter than wooden stakes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He Wei looked at the thin ghost strangely, wondered in his heart, and asked, "What?" What did you just say? Don't talk to you? Why can't I talk to you? ”

The kind-hearted ghost also quickly returned to his previous position, standing in place seriously, not daring to continue to speak. And the ghosts between the two rows all stood in unison, looking like well-trained soldiers.

"Lord Yan has arrived at !!"

At this moment, a soft man's voice suddenly came from outside the lobby, and such a fleshy voice sounded like a certain eunuch in the palace, deliberately dragging out the end for a long time.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the figure of a seventy-year-old man flashing at the gate, wearing a black black gauze hat. He was followed by two personal guards, but they were women, with clear eyebrows, looking no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and wearing official uniforms that were also made of colorful embroidery. Behind them was an old man who was hunched over.

They move very slowly, pausing for a few seconds with each small step. And the head of the old man is always looking up at the sky, condescending, and his eyes never look straight ahead, as if he is deliberately showing his supreme official authority.

The old man, who was as white as frost after him, suddenly stepped forward, lowered his head, and whispered to the old man with a smile: "Lord Yan! The old slave retired first. ”

The old man did not reply, but pretended to be arrogant, and shook his head arrogantly.

The old man looked up slightly to observe the look on his face, and after answering, he turned to face the door and left.

Then the old man squinted his eyes, took another step forward, looked up at the blue sky, and said to himself, "The scenery is so wonderful, and the birds are soaring in the air." Not bad! Not bad! Huh! ”

After finishing speaking, the old man finally lowered his head, stared straight ahead, and walked into the lobby step by step with a triumphant smile. The distance between the doorways was only three or five meters, and he walked slowly for more than ten minutes. The two female guards behind him had no choice but to follow him slowly and move forward.

The ghosts in the lobby had a very serious attitude, holding their breath, their brows furrowed, and their faces were tense as if they had been brushed with a layer of paste.

And He Wei, who was standing in the center of the hall, had already been stunned by the scene in front of him, and his extremely slow move was stunned at the sight, even the ants crawling on the ground had already thrown him away from him 108,000 miles away.

As soon as the old man entered the lobby, he first squinted his eyes and looked left and right, his eyes wandering around. Suddenly quickened his pace and walked towards the Taifu Shuai's case, during which he couldn't help but want to sneeze, and his facial expression was very uncomfortable.

The two female guards in the back also walked very fast, and soon they followed to the Taifu.

Yesterday, the paralyzed face ghost almost didn't know where it came from, and kept running in the direction of the old man, jumped past the two female guards, turned back to He Wei, and said to the old man: "My lord, it was the kid in the hall who killed our heads last night." ”

The two female guards who followed behind reacted very quickly and quickly, and immediately pulled out the sharp dagger at their waist and put it on the neck of the paralyzed face, shouting at them: "Stop! ”

"What are you doing? I'm a ghost shop here, you can see clearly, your eyes are on your ass, aren't you? How dare you stop me! The paralyzed face ghost suddenly became very arrogant, and he turned around and kept pointing to He Weidao who was standing in the hall: "The lower official is reporting to the newly appointed adult what happened last night, and the two guards are just two guards, and they quickly flashed aside." ”

The old man on the stage slowly turned his head, glanced at him with contempt, and said, "Are you the head of this?" ”

"Yes, I'm the ghost shop that specializes in arresting fugitives, and I'm up to me here." The paralyzed face replied with a grin.

"Oh, you're the head, what's that official?"

"Of course you're the head, too."

"And how many heads are there?"

The face of the paralyzed face suddenly changed, he was speechless, lowered his head and said nothing.

The old man pointed at his nose angrily and said, "Can't you see such a big living person standing in the hall as an official?" Need you to report? You are so bold, you dare to offend the official's personal guards, and you don't hurry back. ”

When the two female guards who stopped him heard this, a smug smile appeared on their cheeks.

The paralyzed face had no choice but to slowly push away the dagger around his neck, and turned around and walked back helplessly.

As soon as he took two steps, the old man stopped him again and said, "Wait, let's go back and take a shower first, and look at your sloppy appearance of Lani, which looks like an errand boy, it is too damaging to your image." ”

The old man turned his head and pointed to the group of ghosts below and said: "And you, look at you guys who look like dogs, ragged and skinny, this is the official hall, not a bandit cottage." Don't you feel ashamed to be a ghost and dress up like a flower child? ”

Such a deafening sound frightened all the ghosts in the audience to lower their heads, and countless eyes looked down at the ground.

"My lord, there is no water, the water in the well is dry, and there is no water to take!" The paralyzed face turned back in embarrassment.

"Who says there's no water? Before this official entered the city, didn't he see a black water river outside the city? ”

"The water is not drinkable, let alone usable, the river is poisonous, and it is very poisonous, and it is specially used to drown prisoners."

The old man looked at him carefully, shook his head, and walked over to the handsome desk again, and sat down calmly on the rotten wooden chair in front of the desk. It had just sat down for less than two seconds, "Bang! With a bang, the chair suddenly cracked into pieces, and the old man's whole body slammed into the table.

The two female guards who followed closely behind were shocked when they saw this sudden scene, and quickly rushed to the stage to help Lao Yi up. But they never said a word, and their faces looked very cold.

The old man got up from the ground in embarrassment, pushed them all away, and said to the people below, "Give me all down, and I will come back when I become a human." ”

When everyone heard this, they all slipped out of the lobby silently, and the paralyzed ghost didn't say a word, sighed, and retreated.

At this time, He Wei was also about to quietly escape from the lobby, but as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by the old man behind him.

"Stop! What do you go? Did the official let you go? ”

He Wei's heart tightened, so he had no choice but to turn around and walk back with his head down, and said softly as he walked: "Is there something wrong?" My lordship. ”

The old man didn't speak, but beckoned, and motioned for him to take two steps forward and get closer.

He Wei had no choice but to take two steps forward, less than three feet away from the old man. And the two guards on the stage were even more vigilant, and their eyes were locked on his body with full attention.

"I said two beauties? Aren't you a little excited to see a handsome guy? Why are you so nervous? He Wei raised his head slightly, turned his eyes to their faces, and smiled with a smile.

The female guard did not pay attention to his nonsense, but continued to maintain a vigilant gaze, observing his every move throughout his body.

The old man on the stage stretched out his hand and pinched his white beard, smiled affectionately, stepped forward slowly, and said, "Come closer, let the official take a closer look." ”

He Wei's eyes widened, goosebumps all over his body, his legs were firmly stuck in place as if they were being nailed, and he kept thinking in his heart: This old man can't be a pervert, he is so numb when he speaks.

One of the female guards standing on the table on both sides suddenly took a step forward, pointed a dagger at He Wei's face in her hand, and said, "Are you deaf?" Can't hear the sound? ”

He Wei was so frightened by this sharp piercing sound that his soul was about to fly away, and after hastily responding, he immediately took two steps forward.

Seeing that he was very honest, the female guard put away the dagger in her hand and slowly took a step back.

The old man crossed his hands behind his back and looked up to take a closer look at his body. It was found that his dress was indeed very strange, his clothes and pants were actually separated, and the shoes were white sneakers, but the old man didn't know it, and thought that it was made from the finest silk and satin tailors who had been paid tribute from the Western Regions.

The old man suddenly said, "Why do you kill people? ”

"I didn't kill anyone, they wronged me, although it is true that people are dead, but I did not kill them." He Wei's face became a little flustered.

"How do you know someone is dead? You must have been present before the incident, then you are an accomplice, an accomplice, and you are just as guilty. The old man picked up a teacup from the handsome case and drank it slowly.

"I was just there at the time, and I didn't help anyone, let alone follow anyone." He Wei replied helplessly.

The old man drank the tea halfway, couldn't help but vomit it nauseously, and muttered to himself: "Phew! It's tea after a few nights, and it tastes so sour. He slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, turned his gaze to He Wei, and said, "Boy, where did you buy the clothes?" ”

"Clothes?"

"Not bad! Your clothes may look dirty, but they don't look like poor people, who have either been stolen or robbed. The old man watched him take two more steps forward.

He Wei suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and replied with a wry smile: "Official, it's not as exaggerated as you said, this is just an ordinary shirt, plus a pair of jeans, or bought from a stall, it's just a few dozen yuan, who will steal it." ”

The old man's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help laughing, a row of yellow teeth appeared in his lips, and a green vegetable hung between the teeth. He smiled and said, "Haha, don't be nervous, if it wasn't for you yesterday, I wouldn't have been able to stand here and talk to you, wouldn't I?" ”

"What do you mean?" He Wei was a little puzzled, and put on a curious look.

"Let me introduce myself first, my official surname is Zhang, and your name is from the name, you can call me Lord Zhang, thank you for killing the previous Yan judge yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't be able to climb to this position today." After the old man named Zhang Qi finished speaking, he laughed again.

"Oh, I see, if you really want to thank me, just let me go, so you can repay me for your promotion, right?" He Weidao

"Hehe, of course the official is happy to let you go, and he can also help you find a substitute ghost to help you get out of prison. But wouldn't it be too condescending for a talent like you to leave quietly like this? Zhang Qi said.

"I, I'm not a talent, you think too much, I'm just a young man who can't do anything, not as good as you say." He Wei turned his gaze to the two guards, threw another wink, and said, "Since you want to let me go, I will thank you first, and I will come to repay you in the future, then please untie me, I will leave first." ”

The two female guards on the stage frowned, looked fierce, and stood motionless behind the old man.

The old man glanced at the female guard, and the female guard understood what he meant, and immediately stepped forward to untie He Wei and untie the rope.

He Wei saw the female guard approaching him, and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's your name?" Can you make an appointment for a cup of tea? ”

The maid ignored him, squinted at him, untied the rope, and walked back to the desk.

At the same time, the old man also greeted him and said with a smile: "Hey, don't be in a hurry to leave, how about we go have a drink first?" When I came from the capital, I happened to bring two jars of wine, and tonight I had a good drink, and I will rest when I get drunk. ”

"No, I still have something to do, this has come and gone, it has taken a lot of time, I have to go to a friend of mine and meet him, but I don't know where he is now, can you help me find him?" He Weidao.

The old man hesitated for a while, and was sluggish for a few seconds, before he said slowly: "You tell me what their names are, if the official knows, he will help you find them, if you don't know, then I have no choice." ”

He Weidao: "Oh, of course I know, one is called Xiao Ye, the other is called Xiao Zhu, I discussed with their family in the inn before to go to them, but I encountered a lot of trouble on the way, and it has been delayed until now, do you know these two people?" ”

The old man's face changed and he said, "What? These two are wanted, how do you know them? It won't be an accomplice. ”

"What, they're wanted? How do I not know, what did they do? How can you be wanted? He Wei's face instantly became a little panicked.

"It seems that you really don't know, these two people used to be thieves, and they were deeply guilty."
