"What's there to patrol here, it's hard to be robbed by someone in the blue sky. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On the way to patrol the streets, Chen Jinbao was chattering in his mouth.

It has been more than half a month since the murder of the house, and the yamen rewarded the people involved in the case with 30 taels of silver, and Chen Jinbao got 10 taels alone, with his previous promise, he wanted to take out half of it to invite the public to drink quickly, and the rest of the money was taken out to buy things for the master, and finally only two taels of silver were in his hand, and the stolen goods left by the old man of the Zhou family were also found out, which was the burial goods in the tomb of King Jing, and Liu Yuanwai in Xicheng also confessed, the old man of the Zhou family was very generous, and the family covered the fields of several families, and the family lied in the court. But because he provided important clues, he was also lightly punished, and only punished him for fornicating with a married woman, and the official who took over the case was rewarded by the yamen for providing clues to Chen Jinbao, and the county magistrate was also rewarded by the prefect for handing over the stolen goods, maybe he will rise soon.

The case has been solved, and the days of the arresters are back to the way they were.

"Boss! Chief! Oh no! Oh no! ”

Catch Kuaier ran over in a panic and shouted to Chen Jinbao.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, what's so panicked?" Chen Jinbao asked.

"Whew..... Call....... My grandfather asked me to call you and say that there is a case. ”

"Where? What case? ”

"Whew...... Call...... The master didn't say anything, but just asked me to call you back to the yamen. ”

"You continue to patrol the streets, and follow me!"

"Yes!"

After Chen Jinbao gave the order, he turned around and rushed to the yamen, and followed Chen Jinbao in a daze.

After returning to the yamen, an official came over and said, "Pai tou, my lord asked you to go to his courtyard." ”

Chen Jinbao looked puzzled and asked, "Didn't you say that there was a case?" What do you do in the backyard? ”

The official replied: "Back to the card, there is indeed a person who reported the case today, and it is not clear why the master let you go to the backyard." ”

Chen Jinbao didn't think much about it, turned his head and walked to the backyard, and followed in a daze.

When he arrived at the backyard of the Yamen, Chen Jinbao found that the county master was chatting with a scholar, he and the second stunned stepped forward, bowed his head and shouted, "I've seen the master." ”

The county magistrate stroked his beard and said: "Jinbao, come to let you get to know you, this is called Liu Song, who is a fellow villager of this official, and he is also the same gentleman as this official." Liu Song, this person is the "God Catcher" closed disciple that the official told you. ”

After listening to this, Liu Song bowed his head to Chen Jinbao and said, "Student Liu Song, I have seen Chen Zhutou. ”

Chen Jinbao raised his head and looked at Liu Song, who was handsome, neatly dressed, wearing a scholar's hat, a typical scholar's dress.

"Master, didn't you send someone to tell your subordinates that there was a case?"

The county magistrate stroked his beard and said, "Yes, Liu Song." ”

"The students are here."

"Tell the headcatcher what's going on."

"Students understand."

After speaking, Liu Song told Chen Jinbao about the case he saw: "Chen Zhutou, in the next book for a study tour, passing by here, the money on his body is stretched, four times to inquire whether there is a cheap inn, I heard that there is a house in the south of the city, no one lives for a long time, you can go there to rest for a night, the student heard that he rushed to the south city to find the house, to find that the house is quite magnificent, but the uninhabited house is full of dust and dirt, the student found a broom to clean up a bedroom in the house and lived, the student originally thought to find a place to live, But unexpectedly, when it came to the night (nine o'clock in the evening to eleven o'clock in the evening), I always heard the sound of turning over the cabinets, the students took the fire candles and walked towards the place where the sound came, and heard a sharp sound of iron falling to the ground on the way, and the sound source was the hall in the house, the students thought that it might be the same as the students to stay here, so they walked into the hall to see, never expected that there was no one inside, at this time what sound was gone, the students wanted to find out what went inside, Unexpectedly, the painting hanging on the main seat in the hall shocked the students into a cold sweat. ”

Liu Song took a breath when he said this, and Chen Jinbao then asked, "What painting?" ”

"Whew....... Returning to the head, there was a woman standing by the river, this woman was dressed in plain clothes, her hair had not been groomed, and she looked sideways at the student's side. ”

"Look at ...... Sir's side? Chen Jinbao asked suspiciously.

Liu Song wiped his forehead and said: "That's right, this painting is really weird, the students shuddered, and immediately turned around and ran back to the house, the bedding was covered over their heads and it was really embarrassing, and the students left the house early this morning and rushed to the yamen to report to the official." ”

Chen Jinbao was stunned on the side, thinking that this was the case that the county magistrate said, and he didn't know what to say.

"Jinbao, do you know the facts of the case?" The county magistrate asked.

Chen Jinbao glanced at his mouth, lowered his head and said, "Master, the lower officials don't know how to catch ghosts." ”

"Hmm!" The county magistrate twisted his beard, and this sound came out of his nose.

"Jinbao, this official is asking you to find out why the house is like this, if it is artificial, you will bring this pretending to be a ghost back to the yamen, if it is a ghost, you will come back and inform this official, and this official will ask the mage to kill the demon and eliminate the demon."

Chen Jinbao didn't know how to answer the county master for a while, so he had to say: "Master, if it's a ghost, it's easy to do, if it's a ghost, the lower officials and the catchers are all mortals, I'm afraid someone will die in vain." ”

The county magistrate twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Hahaha, you are a "god hunter", even if there are ghosts, how can those lonely souls and wild ghosts who are not good at cultivation be your opponents?" ”

When Chen Jinbao heard this, he couldn't wait to slap himself, and thought, Master, your name has hurt me again.

Helpless, Chen Jinbao didn't want to tarnish the master's reputation as a "god catcher", so he could only agree to come down and find someone to go to the house to find out.

"Boss, there's something small I want to tell you."

The second stunned person who had been following Chen Jinbao's ass spoke, Chen Jinbao turned his head and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Boss, that house is in the Huaishu Alley in Nancheng, it is a well-known haunted house, you have to use your eyes that day to cover a little small, the small family has old fathers and mothers, and the little one has not married a wife and had children."

Chen Jinbao stared at the two stunned helplessly, thinking in his heart, the master's fame is great, but you can think about it, how are you bastards blowing me down there.

At this time, Wang Fugui ran over and asked, "Eh, master, aren't you leading people to patrol the streets?" How did you get back. ”

Chen Jinbao shook his head, turned to the second stunned and said, "Okay, second stunned, you can rest." ”

The two were stunned and looked at Chen Jinbao, then turned around and left, Wang Fugui looked dazed, Chen Jinbao said to Wang Fugui again: "There is a scholar running around running around to report to the official, saying that he saw a ghost in the ghost house in Nancheng, what kind of case is this, but who knows that the scholar running around is the same villager as the master, and it was taught by the gentleman when the master was studying, and now the master wants us to go to the house to see if the ghost is a real ghost or a fake ghost, if it is a real ghost, see what the ghost looks like, come back and tell the master to ask the Taoist priest to catch, If it's a fake ghost, catch the person who pretends to be a ghost and beat him on the board. ”

Wang Fugui thought for a while and said: "Master, I have heard of that house, it is notoriously haunted, and the people who lived next to that house used to find Taoist monks to exorcise ghosts, but it had no effect, and the reputation of the ghost house is getting bigger and bigger." ”

"Hmm........ Do you think it's a human or a ghost? Chen Jinbao asked.

Wang Fugui thought for a while and said: "Master, I'm not sure about this, but what is blowing in the streets and alleys, the whole family has been killed by ghosts, why can you hear crying every night, why is there a woman dangling on the roof every night, I don't believe this." ”

Chen Jinbao couldn't help but shudder when he heard Wang Fugui's words, it was really terrifying to hear, and he was even more panicked when he thought that he had to go to that place.

"Pai Tou, the master asked the little one to bring you a sentence, so that you can take someone to the house at night, saying that you may not be able to catch the current during the day."

When Chen Jinbao heard this, he slapped his head on the head, and said in his mouth: "Go, go, tell the master that you know." ”

"Master, how many people are you going to take with you at night?" Wang Fugui asked.

Chen Jinbao said: "A lot of people is not necessarily easy to do, just twenty people, the main thing is to strengthen the courage, this time the main thing is to see if it is a real ghost or a fake ghost, if it is a real ghost, come back quickly, it is the best if it is a fake ghost, twenty people can get together a table of banquets." ”

"Yes, master." Wang Fugui said.

At the moment of Hai (9:15 p.m., a quarter is 15 minutes, Hai is 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock in the evening), Chen Jinbao walked into the acacia alley with 20 catchers holding torches.

When the group came to the door of the house, Chen Jinbao ordered: "Put out all the torches, don't scare people away when the time comes." ”

The crowd hunted and extinguished the torch with a look at each other, which was already scary enough, but now they didn't even let the torch be raised, and a few of the fast catchers had begun to tremble.

"Let's all look at each other, don't lose one."

Originally, the catchers were still a little bold, but when Chen Jinbao said this, he had no courage at all, so it was easy to get lost.

When the hunters entered the door, they saw that there was a tree a few steps to the left of the gate, which had died, and the pillars on the door were covered with dust and dead leaves, and it could be seen that it had not been lived for a long time.

"Whew....... Call......... Phew........"

The sound of catching fast and panting behind Chen Jinbao became louder and louder, not only did he catch fast, but Chen Jinbao was also very scared in his heart, he believed that there were ghosts and gods in this world, and his hands also trembled.

"Let's go, let's go into the house and have a look."

Chen Jinbao's words, the catchers behind them all gasped, they didn't respond to Chen Jinbao immediately, only Wang Fugui whispered: "Yes." ”

After Wang Fugui said "yes", the crowd quickly said "yes" one after another, Chen Jinbao saw this situation and thought to himself, if there is really a ghost at this time, all of them will have to be finished.

Chen Jinbao and the others did not go to the hall that the scholar said, but walked towards the bedroom of the house, the reason was that Chen Jinbao thought that if someone pretended to be a ghost, this person should live in this house, and since he lived in the house, there must be some daily necessities in the bedroom.

Everyone walked around the hall and went directly to the bedroom at the back, pushed the door and went in to see that it was much cleaner than the outside, and by the moonlight they could see that the dust on the tables and chairs had been cleaned, and the bedding on the bed was also laid, and the ground was not full of dead leaves like the outside.

"Mother, there are ghosts, there are ghosts."

A catcher shouted tremblingly, Chen Jinbao lowered his voice and said: "Don't make noise, what the hell is not the ghost, this should be where the scholar who ran around lived last night." ”

Chen Jinbao's words, the frightened catcher quickly quieted down, and then Chen Jinbao was about to take someone to another bedroom to take a look, at this moment, suddenly a sound like something was closed.

"Smack, smack, smack, smack"

A few frightened catchers grabbed the handle of the knife with trembling hands, and in this atmosphere, the slightest sound could be heard clearly.

"Don't mess around." Chen Jinbao raised his voice and said.

"Fugui, where did the voice come from, do you hear it clearly?"

Wang Fugui looked around and said to Chen Jinbao: "Master, the sound should come from over there." ”

Chen Jinbao followed the direction of Wang Fugui's finger, thinking in his heart, could it be the hall?

Chen Jinbao began to beat the drum in his heart, he didn't dare to go to the hall that the scholar said, let alone look at the painting.

At this moment, another sound was heard like a copper coin falling to the ground.

"Whew!"

A catcher immediately pulled out the official knife, and he made a sound when he held the knife, and the sound of swallowing saliva in his throat could be heard.

"Take the knife back!" Chen Jinbao said.

Catch quickly put the knife back tremblingly, Chen Jinbao looked back at the crowd, all of them were blue, all of them were frightened, at this time Chen Jinbao wanted to end this matter as soon as possible, don't look in the direction of the fake ghost, think in the direction of the real ghost.

"Brothers, maybe there is really a ghost in this house, let's go to the place where the sound is made and take a look, if it's really not a person, then let's go back and give an explanation to the master."

After speaking, everyone is looking at me, I see you nodded, and twenty people plus Chen Jinbao and twenty-one people huddled together and walked towards the hall.

When I arrived at the hall, I found that it was also a dilapidated scene, with cobwebs everywhere, dust everywhere, and a lot of dead leaves in the yard blowing into the house, and the sound came from such a place.

"Master, that's what the scholar said."

Wang Fugui pointed to the painting on the main seat of the hall with his hand, Chen Jinbao looked over and found that this painting was very conspicuous, not only hanging on the wall of the main seat, but also because the room was dirty everywhere except this painting.

"Master, do you want to ...... Go over and take a look. ”

Wang Fugui asked Chen Jinbao in a small and trembling voice in his ear, and Chen Jinbao was also very scared, but curiosity drove him to look, he was very scared but wanted to see the woman in the painting that the scholar who was running around said.

In the end, curiosity overcame fear, Chen Jinbao walked up to look, Wang Fugui followed behind, and the crowd quickly shrank into a ball and moved forward in small steps.

Chen Jinbao stepped forward and took a closer look at the painting, and found that it was too dark to see clearly, so he leaned his head closer to look at it, but he still couldn't see clearly.

"Bring me a torch and light it." Chen Jinbao said to the catcher behind him.

Wang Fugui lit a torch and handed it to Chen Jinbao, who stretched out the torch to the painting to take a look.

"Whew!"

almost didn't scare him out, the painting showed the oblique back of a woman in white, standing by the river with a cloak, as if she was about to jump into the river, and the most important thing was that the woman with a cloak also showed one eye to look at Chen Jinbao.

Chen Jinbao felt that all the blood on his body rushed to his head at this time, and he only had one thought in his heart now, go!

Chen Jinbao took a few steps back, turned his head and said to the crowd: "Brothers, go!" ”

As soon as the crowd heard this, they turned around, huddled together, sped up their steps and walked forward tremblingly, Wang Fugui followed behind Chen Jinbao and asked, "Master, what do you see?" ”

Faced with Wang Fugui's question, Chen Jinbao did not answer, until he walked out of the house and walked out of the alley, Chen Jinbao asked, "Are they all there?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, a few of them have counted, and then one of them shouted quickly: "Boss, there is one missing!" ”

Chen Jinbao was startled, and then another catcher shouted: "Boss, there is really one person missing." ”

Chen Jinbao walked into the crowd, looked at it and counted, plus he had a total of twenty-one people, and now there were only twenty.

"Who's missing, who's missing?"

Chen Jinbao shouted, everyone catches quickly, you look at me, I look at you, find who is missing.

At this time, Chen Jinbao found that there were two catchers with their heads down, and one catcher also had two torches in his hands.

Chen Jinbao stepped forward and stared at the two catchers, and the two catchers immediately looked at Chen Jinbao and said, "Boss, the little one knows his mistakes, and the person who doesn't see is stunned." ”

"Where is he now?" Chen Jinbao raised his voice and said.

The catcher with the two torches stammered, "He... He.... Right now..... Still in the house. ”
