Chapter 10: The Strange Stall
It has been five days since the Xu family copied the house.
At that time, it was a sensation in the city, but now the turmoil has gradually subsided, and people have returned to their original life patterns.
After the fall of the Xu family, the liquor industry, which was monopolized by it, also opened a gap.
The chaebols in the city immediately took action to enter the wine industry and divide up the wine industry, among which Zhang Yaodong grabbed nearly half of the industry
But he didn't just raise an objection, and after this incident, those emerging chaebols in the city also understood that the Zhang family in the west of the city must not be provoked.
Otherwise, the end will be the same as the Xu family.
...
The other side.
In the patrol room, a major event was ushered in.
Just today, Yi Fan was promoted.
The original Liu Zhutou, because his mother was seriously ill, had to leave the patrol room and go home to take care of his mother.
The Dafeng Dynasty paid attention to a filial piety, filial piety was extremely important, and it was compiled into the law, and violating filial piety was to be imprisoned, or even sentenced to five years.
Therefore, even if Liu Zhutou is unwilling in every way, he can only resign from the post of head catcher, go home to support the elderly with peace of mind, and wait for the old man to pass away for three years.
Yi Fan has not been in office for a few months, and he is never qualified to be the head catcher in terms of qualifications, and he doesn't know why the county lord chose him.
Although the county order is low-key, its city government is unfathomable, as arrogant as Zhang Yaodong, and he must also respect the county order.
In addition, the official Lao Chen may have also said a few words to the county order, Lao Chen has a very high rank in the yamen, and his words naturally have weight.
Yi Fan knew that Lao Chen was a knife-mouthed tofu heart, so he bought two jars of good wine and gave it to him.
Lao Chen just smiled faintly after getting the wine, and told Yi Fan several times to work hard, especially not later.
Yi Fan naturally agreed.
After the celebration, the patrol room returned to its usual busy state.
Yi Fan is now a new official, but he doesn't want to be aggressive, so everything is business as usual.
The original backlog of cases has been dealt with, and now there is time to deal with new cases.
There are still a lot of people who report the crime today, although they are all trivial things, but they have to be busy for a while.
...
Time flies.
When Yi Fan finished dealing with the last case, it was getting late, the night was about to fall, and he was also ready to go home.
On the way back, the shops on both sides of the street hung colorful lanterns, making the monotonous street a little more colorful.
A few minutes later,
The sky was completely dark, and the insects began to sing songs for the night show.
At this moment, the world in Yi Fan's eyes changed suddenly.
This is the eighth day he has been given the system.
The first time I signed in, I got a golden light spell, and the rewards I got for signing in the next few days, although they were all good, they were not as good as the first time.
But on the eighth day, this morning.
When he checks in, he gets a very special ability.
【Tianyantong】
Tianyantong: One of the six links of Buddhism, those who reach Tianyantong can see the life, death, suffering and happiness of all beings in the six realms, as well as all kinds of colors in the world, without obstacles.
Tianyantong is not like the Golden Light Mantra, it operates autonomously, and it usually consumes very little qi and blood, which can be said to be negligible.
When the sky was dark, the world he saw in his eyes quietly changed.
He saw something unimaginable - ghosts, a lot of ghosts.
At night, there are many ghosts wandering on the streets of Wuyang County.
There are also some differences between ghosts.
Through observation, Yi Fan roughly divided them into three categories: wandering souls, unjust souls, and murderous souls.
The geist is the lowest.
They are unconscious, like headless flies, wandering aimlessly.
They don't attack people, they don't notice them, they are just a little obsession with the world left of the deceased.
Souls are more advanced than spirits.
They have a bit of a memory of their lives, but most of the time they still wander around on residual instincts.
They were full of resentment, and as they drifted, their mouths kept whining.
Since ghosts are ghosts, their cries cannot be heard by ordinary people.
Murderous spirits are the most dangerous of the ghosts, but fortunately there are few of them.
Yi Fan walked around the county seat, and only found a few murderous spirits in a few of the most secluded corners.
The murderous spirit has a hideous face.
The evil spirit has consciousness and has a strong desire to attack, and once it is very dangerous to be entangled by it, it will be more than lucky.
Outside the city,
Yi Fan walked unhurriedly, and he was alone in the entire official road.
There are gaber lanterns on both sides of the official road.
However, it has fallen into disrepair and many lanterns are no longer lit.
This flickering atmosphere makes people walking on the official road at night feel inexplicably weird.
However, Yi Fan has the eye of the sky, and the night is like day.
Da-da-da-da!
The official road was silent and gloomy, and there was only the footsteps of Yi Fan walking in the whole section.
As he walked, ghosts floated past him from time to time, and some even passed directly through his body.
"I didn't expect there to be so many ghosts in a small county.
In this way, looking at the entire dynasty and even the whole world, what kind of volume will it be. ”
How many unknown things in this world lurk in the shadows?
As he walked, he suddenly noticed a bright light in front of him.
When I got closer, it turned out to be a stall selling wontons.
Yi Fan couldn't help but be curious.
The current time is Haizheng (ten o'clock in the evening), and the large and small shops in the county have already been proofed, and most of them have fallen asleep.
He hadn't heard of a late-night snack stall here.
And that's not the point.
The most important point is that this stall is not placed inside the city, but on the official road outside the city.
There are basically no people on the official road in the middle of the night, and there are only these lonely ghosts wandering around.
So who exactly is it set up for?
Of course, Yi Fan didn't come to walk around the official road in the middle of the night.
He's actually here for a case.
When he was sorting out the file before, he found a more interesting unsolved case.
As early as more than a month ago, the county government received reports from many people.
The types of these cases are the same, they all belong to the category of disappearance, and the places of disappearance are all in this area.
And the missing people are basically porters.
There are several similarities between these cases, which can also be said to be suspicious.
First of all, the time happened in the middle of the night, and the location was also an official road outside the city.
Secondly, when it was found during the day, only some bloody shredded clothes were found.
Other than that, nothing else of value was found.
The bloody shredded clothes can be preliminarily inferred to be the work of wild beasts, but strong porters are not necessarily a delicacy for wild beasts, and there are no particularly ferocious beasts near Wuyang.
Once it comes and goes, it becomes an unsolved case.
This incident was quite a sensation in Wuyang at that time.
So much so that until now, few people dare to take the official road at night.
Those who disappeared into the official way, since it was not the work of wild beasts and robbers, could it be that ghosts are at work?
In order to confirm his guess, Yi Fan decided to investigate.
Yi Fan came to the stall.
The owner of the stall is an old woman.
She had a very severe rickets, almost ninety degrees.
The old woman was very thin, as if a piece of skin was attached to the skeleton.
Her skin was wrinkled, like the bark of a tree without moisture.
But there's one thing that's weird.
The old woman's hair color is not a little gray, and the black is thick, which is incredible.
Her hair hung down on one side, just covering half of her face.
Seeing Yi Fan standing in front of the stall, the old woman looked up quietly, as if she had determined something, and smiled strangely.
"Official, don't you rest so late?" The old woman's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper polishing her eardrums, which made people uncomfortable.
"What about you, old man, you don't close the stall so late. Yi Fan asked rhetorically.
"My children and grandchildren are not filial, I can only come out with a handful of old bones to beg for a living, does the official want to come to a bowl of wontons?"
"Then have a bowl, the amount must be sufficient!"
Yi Fan nodded.
There was a small square table next to the stall, and Yi Fan sat down.
