Chapter 1: The Woman in Red (Part I)
"Ah........h
Chen Jinbao yawned alone in the yamen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It has been two months since Liu Song's case ended, and some changes have taken place in the yamen in the past two months, the county magistrate was promoted to the prefect's yamen because of the merit of the Jingwang Tomb case, and the county lieutenant Yang Sheng became the county magistrate, while Chen Jinbao did not climb the first level or stayed in the county as the head catcher, it is said that the case can be solved has nothing to do with the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, it is all the credit of the catchers. Of course, Chen Jinbao thinks that his lack of promotion may have something to do with Ling Xianjie, and he still wanted to pull the master into Dali Temple, it is likely that Ling Xianjie is not very satisfied with himself, otherwise he should be in Dali Temple now.
"Uh-huh........."
Chen Jinbao lay on the table and almost fell asleep.
"Master."
Wang Fugui's voice directly frightened Chen Jinbao to sit up.
"Ouch, come here quietly, you're back from patrolling the streets?"
After speaking, Chen Jinbao fell asleep on the table again.
Wang Fugui saw that Chen Jinbao had fallen asleep again, and hurriedly woke him up.
"Master, there is a case, the county master is looking for you."
Chen Jinbao sat up impatiently and asked, "What kind of case is it!" After speaking, Chen Jinbao fell asleep again.
Wang Fugui replied, "You get up first, and I will tell you more on the way." ”
Chen Jinbao was pulled up again. At this time, Chen Jinbao's wake-up anger came completely.
"Which chickens, ducks and geese were lost? Or is it that the two of them are fighting again? You just have to take someone with you! Let's just say I said it. ”
After speaking, Chen Jinbao fell asleep again.
Wang Fugui saw that Chen Jinbao couldn't get up or live, so he didn't pull him again.
"Master, this case is different from what the county master said........"
Before Wang Fugui finished speaking, Chen Jinbao interrupted and shouted: "What's different!" Our newly appointed county master doesn't know what kind of madness he has, what does the big fart look like, saying that the new official has three fires, but we don't know him, why bother? Do you remember the last time that old lady in Nancheng lost a silver bracelet? He asked more than 30 of us to follow the alley until we found the street for more than an hour, and finally found it on the old lady's bedside. said that she forgot to take it out, not lost it. ”
Wang Fugui replied with a sad face: "Master, wasn't the old lady old and confused that time?" ”
"Old confused? Which old fool is it? I told him to look for it at home first, he had to let you go to the street to look for it, and he used so many people, what I knew was that I thought you were looking for something, and I didn't know that I thought there was a big case again, do you remember that the people on the street didn't dare to go out of the street when they saw so many of us coming out of the alley? Several businesses saw that our doors were closed! ”
Wang Fugui nodded with a wry smile, and then said: "Yes, our new county master is making a little fuss, but this time is different, when I came back, he said that it was a big case." ”
Chen Jinbao stood up and said angrily: "I heard this for the fourth time, the first time was when two children were fighting next to the tea stall and broke two bowls selling tea. The second time was when a farmer didn't tie the rope tightly, and the cow ran out and trampled on the field next door. The third time was a person who had drunk too much and was lying in front of someone's restaurant to sleep. The fourth time was a shrew, buying groceries, bargaining with others, and people didn't do it, and she scolded the street on the street. I'm all convinced, everyone has brought people to report these to the official, you just need to interrogate and get a result, you have to let us take someone to investigate. How else can it find out this bit of? He still wants you to report the results of the investigation to him. Ouch........." After speaking, Chen Jinbao fell asleep again.
Wang Fugui laughed when he heard Chen Jinbao's words, and he really didn't know if the newly appointed county master was too responsible or there was something wrong.
"Master, this time is really different, I heard the county master say that it is haunted."
Chen Jinbao sat up when he heard this and asked, "What is it?" ”
"Haha, master, you finally cheered up, get up, I'll talk about it while you go."
Chen Jinbao stood up, sorted out his clothes and went to the county master.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Wang Fugui replied: "That's the case, last night on the third watch (twelve o'clock in the evening), the watchman in Dongcheng said that he found a female ghost in red at the entrance of Zhujia Alley on East Street, and then the female ghost entered Zhujia Alley, and then he followed him to see that there was nothing. ”
Chen Jinbao was a little puzzled, and then asked, "The female ghost in red?" ”
"Yes, master."
Chen Jinbao seems to have heard this statement somewhere, but he can't remember it somewhere.
"It can't be that he's mistaken, right?" Chen Jinbao asked.
Wang Fugui pouted and shook his head, and said, "I don't know about this, anyway, the county master will let us go over now." ”
............
The two saw the county magistrate at the yamen, and the county magistrate Yang Sheng was talking to a middle-aged and somewhat hunchbacked man.
The two stepped forward and shouted, "Master." ”
Yang Sheng nodded at the two of them, and then said to the middle-aged man: "It just so happens that someone is here, you can tell Chen Zhutou the details." ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed to Chen Jinbao and said, "Lord God Catcher, you have to save the little one." ”
Chen Jinbao looked at this person, his skin was a little dark, his face was sloppy, and he was short, thin and a little hunchbacked, looking like he was being bullied.
"Tell me, what's going on."
The middle-aged man began to speak: "The little one's name is Wang San, the reason is that he is the third in the family, he is the one who fights in Dongcheng, the small family is poor and the ugly life is hard, he has not married a daughter-in-law until now, he fell from a tree when he was five years old, he was bullied and locked in the cabinet by his two brothers when he was six years old, he fell into the river and almost drowned when he was seven years old, and he .......... when he was nine years old."
"Wait, how old are you?" Chen Jinbao asked.
Wang San replied, "The little one is Chinese New Year's Eve two today." ”
"Okay, okay, okay, you just say what happened last night."
Wang San nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Chen Jinbao glanced at Yang Sheng, the county magistrate, and thought, "Good guy, how long have you been talking to him?" ”
"Last night, when the third watch was on the third watch, the little one was on the street as usual, and when the third watch was about to walk to the alley of Zhu's house, I saw a woman in red smiling at the little one on the street, oops........"
Wang San sighed, Chen Jinbao looked at his appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and asked, "It's okay, it's okay, it's normal to be scared." ”
"Ouch, the little one was so happy at the time, this is my daughter-in-law given to me by God."
When Chen Jinbao heard this, he bit his lip and looked at Wang San, he didn't know if he should give Wang San a fist at this time.
Wang San continued: "At that time, the girl smiled at the little one, and the little one immediately understood what it meant, and hurriedly walked over, and then she entered the alley of the Zhu family, and the villain chased after her. As a result, she disappeared, and the villain searched for a long time but did not find her, so he went back and picked up the belt and gong and continued to play. ”
"Wait, what did you pick up?" Chen Jinbao asked.
Wang San replied, "O belt and gong, the little one saw her go into the alley, so he threw the belt and gong on the ground." ”
Chen Jinbao thought to himself: "This female ghost is also big enough, why didn't she strangle you to death when she saw that you were still lustful about her?" ”
"Hey, don't you know, the little one has been very envious of Wu Dalang since he was sensible, and such an ugly person married such a ........"
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, you talk about the rest of the matter." Chen Jinbao said.
Wang San looked at pity on his face, and then said: "Hey, then, ah, the little one went on the shift, and while playing the shift, I felt that this thing was wrong, I felt that this girl might be a female ghost, would she want to suck the little yang energy so she came to find the little one?" So the little one didn't make up for it today, and came to report to the official. ”
Chen Jinbao looked at Wang San's dark and sloppy face, and kept organizing the language in his mind to think about what to say.
"That's the whole situation, right?" Chen Jinbao asked.
Wang San nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." ”
Chen Jinbao sighed and said, "Okay, you go back first, I will pass on you again if there is something, and I won't play tonight." ”
Wang San bowed to Chen Jinbao and the others, and said: "Thank you, the little ones, I also ask the adults to exorcise the ghosts quickly, the little ones haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, in case the female ghost comes again...... The little ones don't know what to do. ”
Chen Jinbao scratched the back of his head hard, thinking, "If she really came to you, you should thank that female ghost for taking a fancy to you." ”
After Wang San bowed to everyone again, he left the yamen.
"Chen Zhutou, I have to trouble you to go to East Street at night." Yang Sheng said.
Chen Jinbao naturally didn't dare to refuse, but like last time, he was looking for a ghost, and this time he didn't know if it was a real ghost or a fake ghost.
"Okay, master, I'll go and get some people."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to leave, Yang Sheng said: "Chen Zhutou, this official thinks that it is very likely that this ghost is just a human pretend, after all, Wang San, who reported the case, has not been harmed, so it is better to order a few people to go." ”
"Huh?"
Chen Jinbao didn't know what to say, good guy, you can send thirty people to find a bracelet, and this time there will be a few people to "catch ghosts".
Chen Jinbao thought to himself: "Have I offended him before?" ”
"Okay, Chen Zhutou, most of the time, it's a person pretending to be a ghost to scare people, this official thinks that it is enough for you and Wang Zhufu to add five people, and it is really hard to go to work at night to catch people. As for the five people, you can order it yourself, and the official won't talk much nonsense. ”
After speaking, Yang Sheng turned around and left, leaving Chen Jinbao there gritting his teeth and looking at his back.
"Master, this ........"
Chen Jinbao turned his head and asked Wang Fugui: "Fugui, you say, where did I offend him?" He deliberately played with me? ”
Wang Fugui hurriedly said: "Master, be quiet, it's not good for him to hear." ”
Chen Jinbao suppressed the anger in his heart and took two deep breaths.
"Master, it's useless for us to say anything now, do you want to know which five people to go?"
