In the story told by Jiang Erlang and Jiang Yuer, Liang Ping'an knew the "truth" that night.

"I was originally a head arrester in Huai'an County, and I was ordered to find a missing scholar, and I found it in the mountains and forests, and then, the two came to the Land Temple and found that the temple stone had been destroyed."

"I am fortunate to see Brother Liang in the temple, try to breathe, and live! Save it! ”

Liang Ping'an thought in his heart.

It should be the Taoist senior who really saved me, but fortunately, I served the senior comfortably on the road, otherwise, this little life would have been really lost.

However, this Jiang Erlang brought himself out of the land temple, and he also invited people from Wujiazhuang to treat him halfway, which can be regarded as a life-saving kindness.

"Thank you both for saving your life!" Liang Ping'an thanked Jiang Erlang and Jiang Yu'er.

Jiang Erlang and Jiang Yuer inherited this kindness together.

Then, the group entered the county seat.

As soon as he entered the county seat, Jiang Chaoge found that the atmosphere in the city seemed to be a little wrong.

Seemingly, everyone is looking at them?

The guards at the city gates, the street vendors, including the guys from the restaurant...... Looking at the appearance of their group, it was as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"Am I exposed?"

Jiang Chaoge thought to himself, but quickly denied the idea.

It should be unlikely, even Bai Wuchang has discovered my identity, how can these mortals find out?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a little guy who looked like a family running over.

"Young master, young master!! You...... You're not dead?! ”

"Nonsense, this young master has the great ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons, how can he be injured by that little ghost thing in Xiaoshan Village?" Liang Ping'an immediately raised his head.

"But, Miss Wan'er said...... said that the ghost thing was extremely ferocious, and even Ji Ruxue couldn't deal with it? ”

"How is my mother?" Liang Ping'an didn't explain again.

"Ah, young master, go home with the little one!" The little guy seemed to remember something: "Now there is a mourning hall in the house, the small one is out to procure, I just saw the young master, fortunately the young master is fine, but now everyone thinks you are dead, and the lady is crying and about to hang herself!" ”

"My mother is going to hang herself?" Liang Ping'an was in a hurry, and hurriedly said to Jiang Erlang and the others: "If there is something at home, I will leave first, and after two days, I will invite everyone to get together!" ”

"Brother Liang, please!"

"Lord Liang, hurry back!"

“……”

Liang Ping'an was taken away by the little guy.

Liu Hongyi and others invited Jiang Yuer to stay together, hoping to communicate more before the township test.

Jiang Yu'er could only smile bitterly: "Don't hide a few, this time I fell into the mountains, and I lost all the money on my body, and I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in the inn." ”

"Brother Jiang, what are you talking about?" Liu Hongyi patted his chest: "Can such a trivial matter still make Brother Jiang embarrassed?" Brother Jiang, don't worry, I have covered the money for the hotel and food! ”

"I heard that there is an Oiran lady in Cuiwei Building, who has been instructed by the great Confucian 'Fang Xiaojing', if Brother Jiang is interested, I will pay for the evening wine!" Zhang Jun and somehow, at this time, he also showed a generous side.

"I ...... I don't have much money on me, but if Brother Jiang needs it, twenty taels ...... It's not a big problem. Xu Zhi also spoke.

Jiang Yu'er smiled: "Thank you three brothers!" ”

"Brother Jiang is polite!" The three of them gave up their hands together.

So, Jiang Yu'er reluctantly accepted the kindness of the three of them and went to find the inn together.

In this way, only Erlang is left.

Jiang Chaoge knew that Erlang was the head catcher of the county government and had a public office, and now that he had completed the case of the disappearance of the scholar, he naturally had to go to the county government to close the case as soon as possible.

"When I arrived in Huai'an County, Erlang's identity was the key." Jiang Chaoge knows the difference between officials and people in this world: "With Erlang's skin, this Huai'an County should be rampant!" ”

Jiang Chaoge walked towards the county office.

According to Erlang's memory, the daughter of the county government is named Zhou Jiaoer, who is quite beautiful, with white skin and a thin waist, and she is also good at tea art.

As for his cheap old father-in-law 'Zhou Yong', his ability is very average, but it is still good for him.

"By the way, I still have a mother-in-law...... Seems to be about to give birth? Jiang Chaoge remembered one thing, his county magistrate had two wives.

Not long after the ex gave birth to Zhou Jiao'er, she was gone.

So, Zhou Yong remarried another one, who was only three years older than Zhou Jiaoer, but she was nine months pregnant and was almost about to give birth.

Thinking about it......

I arrived at the gate of the county office.

At the door, the two yacha guarding the door immediately widened their eyes and looked frightened.

"Jiang ...... Jiang catches the head?! ”

"You, you didn't ...... Didn't you die? ”

Jiang Chaoge saw the scene of the meeting between the little servant of the Liang Mansion and Liang Ping'an at the gate of the city, and he was not surprised, after all, the original Jiang Erlang was really dead.

"No, I just got lost in the mountains, but fortunately I found the missing scholar, is the county magistrate in the hall?"

Zhou County ordered him to ...... He...... Lost 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver and was ...... Captured! ”

"What?"

Jiang Chaoge was taken aback.

My cheap old father-in-law...... That's it?

I haven't gotten a fake tiger yet?

Jiang Chaoge stabilized his mind, but he lost the disaster relief money, if he can get it back, maybe there is still a chance to turn over, not greed.

Thinking of this, he asked again.

"Where's Miss?"

"Miss, she...... She ......"

"What's wrong again?"

"Jiang Zhutou listened, but you must be calm, Miss she fell into the river!" After the two yacha looked at each other, one of them replied.

"I ......"

Jiang Chaoge almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

Luckily, he's a ghost, no blood!

What kind of plot is this unfolding? If the cheap old man is caught, forget it, my cheap wife...... I haven't even touched it, and I fell into the river?

So what is the use of him asking for this skin?

"What's going on? Why did the young lady fall into the river? It's just that if you lose the money for disaster relief, you won't commit suicide by jumping into the river, right? Jiang Chaoge forcibly resisted the urge to peel off his skin and asked again.

"Actually, the young lady originally wanted to take someone to the river to retrieve the lost silver, but for some reason...... When the young lady arrived at the river, she was swept directly into the river. ”

After speaking, one of the yacha looked around again, and continued, "Listen...... According to the people who were by the river at the time, the young lady was probably arrested by the river god! ”

"River God?"

Jiang Chaoge frowned.

If it was before, he would definitely not believe it when he heard such absurd words, but he had already seen the land and seen Bai impermanence, then this river god really existed nine times out of ten.

"What about Madame? The young lady fell into the river...... How is Madame doing now? Jiang Chaoge looked at the two yacha, this big blow, can the lady who is about to give birth withstand it?

"Madame, she accidentally fell to the ground last night, and she had a difficult labor in the evening...... She died in childbirth, leaving only a baby girl. ”

“……”

Is there anything worse than that?

The original beautiful county order family, because of the loss of 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver, turned out overnight, the daughter jumped into the river, and the wife had a difficult birth.

Jiang Chaoge wanted to cry a little without tears, he was too difficult.

"Take me to see the baby girl."

Now he can only do his best, obey the fate of heaven, and find a family to raise the baby girl.

However, this world has always been patriarchal, if it is a boy baby, there is no problem, a girl baby ...... I guess the average person won't want it.

Only in the mountains and forests, the kind of lonely widows who are old and childless can accept it.

Jiang Chaoge thought as he followed a yacha towards the inner hall of the yamen, and the four catchers who were on duty at the county government heard that he was back, and they all ran out.

"Jiang Tou'er, you're not dead?"

"Jiang Tou'er, what about Xiao Wu and Anan...... Neither of them came back? ”

"They're dead!"

“……”

The four catchers all closed their mouths, and when they saw Jiang Chaoge walking to the door of the inner hall, a tall and thin catcher grabbed Jiang Chaoge.

"Jiang Tou'er, you wait before you go in."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chaoge turned around and asked.

"You may not know it yet, but it's not easy to offend people in this week's county order...... The boss should understand what I mean, now that the young lady has fallen into the river, and the lady has died in childbirth, you are good to your buddies on weekdays, so I dare to say a word to you...... You'd better not touch this baby girl, and the baby girl looks extremely strange, and the stable woman who gave birth to it said that this baby girl is likely to be ...... It's a youkai. ”

"Youkai?"

Of course, Jiang Chaoge understood the meaning of being tall and thin.

But he's never seen a monster before!

His gaze looked at the inner hall, which was decorated in a classical manner, but there were no maidservants waiting for him, only a large wooden bed.

A baby girl wrapped in a quilt on the bed was closing her eyes tightly, putting a finger into her small mouth, sucking continuously, as if she was gradually falling asleep in hunger.

But Jiang Chaoge was not looking at the baby's mouth at this time, but the baby's face.

On the baby's face, there is a very conspicuous snake-shaped birthmark, red, and extraordinary, exactly the same as Ah Li's face.

"Boss, let me tell you, this baby girl is really a monster!" Gao Slender Catcher quickly walked in: "We all suspect that this baby girl is a snake demon, and she is the one who took the lives of Miss and Madame!" ”
