Chapter 2: A Strange Cry
Out of the patrol room, Yi Fan was depressed.
He felt targeted.
This is clearly bullying honest people.
If Lao Li was still there, they wouldn't dare to do anything.
The Lao Li in his mouth was originally the classic history of the county government and took good care of Yi Fan.
But a few days ago, when Lao Li went out to visit relatives, he unfortunately encountered a group of robbers.
It was a group of outlaws who licked blood from the knife edge, and when they saw that Lao Li didn't have much money on him, they were very angry, and they thought that they would not stop doing anything, so they brutally killed him.
Poor Lao Li did a lifetime of county official history, and finally died at the hands of thieves.
Until now, however, the gang of robbers had not been caught.
Without Lao Li, Yi Fan would have no backer, and his status would plummet.
therefore
Yi Fan felt that this Liu Zhutou must be taking revenge.
However, in thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, although he does not have a fiancΓ©e who divorced him, he is now considered a person with systematic protection, and the pattern is not small.
Yi Fan no longer bothered about this matter, there is a steamed bun shop on the corner of the street that is quite famous, and the steamed buns are also thin and filling, and they are of good quality and low price.
I just came over in the morning and didn't eat, so I bought two buns of pads and rushed to Zhang Yuanwai's house.
...
Zhang's house.
The two gilded mighty stone lions are in front of the portal of Zhangfu, which is also a carved beam and painted building, with flower and bird patterns on it, and the technique of depiction is from everyone's hands at a glance.
However, the gold and stone are vulgar vessels, and the flowers and birds are elegant vessels, and it is strange to put the two together, which shows that the owner of the Zhang family is a complete rich man.
Yi Fan came to the gate of Zhang's mansion.
In front of the gate, there was a team of nurses, all of whom were big men, even Yi Fan, who was quick to catch, was moved, good guy, the county government has never been so magnificent.
Yi Fan stepped forward and said politely: "Hello, I am the catcher of the patrol room."
Zhang Yuanwai came to the county office yesterday to report the case, and I came over today to make a record. β
Yi Fan can be said to be so polite that he is humble, but the family members ignored Yi Fan, and they didn't even look at him.
Although they are only janitors, doing the work of watchdogs, their monthly wages are higher than that of fast catchers.
These people are not even as good as dogs, why should they afford to look at them.
"Just wait here!"
The family finally spoke, looking very arrogant.
After a while.
Inside the door came a man dressed as a butler.
He glanced at Yi Fan, the corners of his mouth turned up disdainfully, but his tone was quite polite: "Yo, you are the new catcher." β
Yi Fan replied: "It's been a month. β
"Tut-tut...... butler smacked his mouth, "Look at your thin arms and legs, I'm afraid you can't even hold a knife steadily." β
"If you are in the business of catching fast, the knife is naturally held steadily. β
Yi Fan choked the anger in his heart and said lightly.
"It's best to hold it steadily. The butler snorted coldly, "Come in!"
In the house, it is called a golden splendor, pavilions and buildings, full of dazzling colors.
There is a square pond in the compound, in which a few goldfish are raised.
The vicious mastiff raised by Zhang Yuan was barking at Yi Fan at this time, but the dog's food plate was leftover good beef.
Ordinary people estimate that they can only eat a meal of meat during festivals, but a dog here can't eat it.
The housekeeper took Yi Fan to the outside of a study-like pavilion and asked respectfully.
"Master, the patrol room is here!"
The door of the study opened, but Zhang Yuanwai took the initiative to walk out.
When he saw Yi Fan's young face, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his face suddenly sank.
"Is there no one in the patrol room? Why did you send a hairy boy who has not dried up? β
Obviously, Zhang Yuanwai was very dissatisfied with Yi Fan.
Yi Fan immediately retorted: "Zhang Yuanwai, in the sixteenth of this year, according to the law of Dafeng, he is already a man who stands up to the sky. β
"Huh?" Zhang Yuanwai frowned slightly, and said no more.
But the housekeeper on the side was anxious, tore off his previous elegant appearance, jumped like thunder, and shouted: "Xiao Zhu, what qualifications do you have to intervene when the master speaks, and you don't kneel down to the master to make amends." β
Yi Fan's eyes were cold, he endured step by step, but this guy had to make inches, if he confessed again, I am afraid that he would also look down on himself.
"You're good, your lord hasn't finished speaking, so who are you qualified to interject, something that is neither yin nor yang. β
"You! a little catcher, and I want to turn against you. β
The butler grabbed Yi Fan's shoulder.
Don't look at the housekeeper's obesity, but the strength of his qi and blood is stronger than ordinary people.
Ke Yifan is also not ordinary.
When he first learned that he had crossed over, without a golden finger, in order to survive in this other world, he forced himself to exercise every day.
He insisted on long-distance running, doing push-ups, and sit-ups every day.
In this way, his qi and blood can surpass ordinary people.
Judging from the degree of qi and blood emanating from the housekeeper's body, it is not above himself.
Therefore, Yi Fan has confidence.
His shoulders shook and he shook the butler's hand away.
The housekeeper couldn't help but be surprised, and said sharply: "Stinky boy, it seems that I still underestimate you." β
Yi Fan said lightly: "Each other." β
After speaking, the housekeeper put on a posture to make a formal move.
Yi Fan's heart was horizontal, holding the handle of the knife, and he could unsheath it at any time.
At this time, Zhang Yuanwai said in a deep voice: "Stop!"
Wen Yan,
The housekeeper immediately stopped moving, but in his eyes, he was still hostile to Yi Fan.
Yi Fan also removed his hand from the hilt.
"Little brother, you have good skills, do you have any ideas to come to my house to do things.
If you are paid, it will be at least much more lucrative than if you were a catcher. β
Zhang Yuan threw an olive branch to Yi Fan.
"Outside Zhang, you have received your kindness, but you don't want to leave the patrol room for the time being, and you leave suddenly, and the county commander is not easy to explain. β
There was already a sense of rejection in Yi Fan's words.
Zhang Yuanwai's conduct is not right, when his eagle dog is afraid that he will do some unsightly things, he Yi Fan is also a dignified man, how can he be in the same stream with him.
"Little brother, there are some things you have to think about more, but I'm not in a hurry, let's get down to business first. β
After speaking, he led Yi Fan into the study.
"Butler, pour this little brother a cup of tea. β
Zhang Yuanwai commanded.
Although the steward was unwilling, he did not hesitate to carry out the master's orders.
The housekeeper poured the tea and sent it to Yi Fan.
Yi Fan politely said thank you.
Then, he took out his notebook and prepared to begin taking notes.
"Zhang Yuanwai, can you elaborate on the specific content of the case?"
Zhang Yuanwai settled down, reminiscing and narrating.
Yi Fan listened, and his expression gradually became strange.
After the record, Yi Fan asked: "Zhang Yuanwai, you said that the warehouse is haunted, has anyone seen it with their own eyes?"
Zhang Yuanwai touched his beard and replied, "There shouldn't be this one."
But in the middle of the night, a woman's cry would be heard in the warehouse.
Many family members have heard this with their own ears and can testify to it. β
Yi Fan asked again: "Zhang Yuanwai, I don't know if I should say a sentence below?"
"Please!" Zhang Yuanwai immediately replied.
Yi Fan thought for a while, and then said: "These so-called cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods are just legendary stories of storytellers who add fuel and vinegar.
How can there be ghosts. I was about to talk about ghosts, but it was just ......"
Yi Fan didn't say any more, there are really ghosts, and there are ghosts in people's hearts.
Zhang Yuanwai sighed and said: "What the little brother said is indeed reasonable, I didn't believe it before, but I also heard the crying in the treasury, so I chose to report the case." β
Yi Fan pondered and did not reply immediately.
He was skeptical about the haunting of the treasury, and he had to see it to believe before he could make a conclusion.
Then, he continued to ask: "Outside Zhang Yuan, since there is an inexplicable cry in the warehouse, can you find the source of this sound?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuanwai became excited and said, "Of course I looked for it, but I found nothing."
Now in the warehouse, no one dares to enter it at night.
There are tens of thousands of high-quality silk and satin stored in the warehouse, and if this woman's cry is not resolved for a day, I can't sleep well!"
After thinking for a while, Yi Fan replied: "Outside Zhang Yuan, I am clear about your demands.
After going back next time, I will definitely explain it clearly to the above, and please rest assured. β
Zhang Yuanwai nodded: "Then there is little brother Lao." β
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and handed it to Yi Fan.
Yi Fan was stunned.
"Little brother, it's not easy for you to come here, please accept this hard work. Zhang Yuanwai smiled ambiguously.
Yi Fan hesitated for a moment, then took the silver.
With a short staff, businesses can do things with peace of mind, and there is nothing more reassuring than taking money to do things.
Yi Fan didn't take it, but it didn't go with Zhang Yuanwai's wishes, and he didn't take it for nothing.
Yi Fan swore and said, "Outside, just wait for my good news." β
Zhang Yuanwai smiled and nodded: "Little brother, the door of my Zhang Mansion is always open to you, young people should think more about their future." β
"I understand it naturally. β
"Haha! The little brother is an understanding person, so I'll wait for your good news. β
Then, Zhang Yuanwai specially instructed the housekeeper to equip Yi Fan with a carriage and send him away happily.
