Yesterday, there were five or six small servants who went to the light sound painting boat with the banker's son. But when it was night, the master and servant had fun, and Zhuang Gongzi and the girl entered the wing room without being accompanied by anyone shouting at five or six, and these little girls also found a few little girls to accompany them to drink and order, and they made a fool of themselves for a night. When Jin Zhutou took them back to the yamen together, he was still dizzy. Jin Zhutou had a headache, and ordered someone to fetch more than a dozen buckets of water and splash it on the people, which woke up these little guys. It didn't help to wake up, and when they learned that their young master had died tragically, several people first hugged their heads and cried, and they grabbed the sky and the ground for a long time, so they were willing to speak honestly.

Lei Qi came to the Suzhou Mansion early and sat on the side to listen.

One of the little guys was Zhuang Gongzi's personal confidant, and after a hangover, his tongue was still not straight, and he sobbed and choked: "I know...... I know who killed my son-in-law with sorcery! ”

Lei Qi raised his eyebrows.

The little guy continued: "A few days ago, the son was swimming on a painting boat and once fell in love with a girl. You also know this girl Jin Zhutou, it is the beautiful little catcher who conspired with you in the Hongchuan Painting Boat. She was pestered by my son-in-law the day before yesterday, and used witchcraft to keep him on the boat with us for three or four hours, so that our whole bodies were stiff and we could not move. It was the guys on the boat who carried us off the boat. ”

Lei Qi sighed.

Jin Zhutou said: "You stinky boy, don't talk nonsense." The little girl is an adult from the capital, how can she look down on your son-in-law's cheap life? People originally came to kill demons. ”

"But in this Suzhou City, apart from that little girl, where else can anyone have such a powerful demon magic?"

Lei Qi put down the teacup and said: "It's not difficult for you to see the demon magic and evil arts, it's just a small skill to carve insects, and pinching you to death in the air is the real ability." Unfortunately, I have such skills, do you want to try it? ”

This little guy glanced at Lei Qi, only to feel that he was fierce and vicious, and he was by no means a good type, and his eyebrows were furrowed, his thin lips were slightly pursed, as if he was angry, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to speak again.

Lei Qi asked, "Last night, which girl in the painting boat did your son enter the wing room with?" ”

The little girl said: "Our son is well-known for his taste in Suzhou City, and he is a girl who only picks the top brand in and out of the Qinglou." Among the top girls, you have to choose the most beautiful and expensive one. Yesterday was ...... It's ......"

When he said this, he still showed a smug face, afraid that he was showing off, and he had forgotten the tragic incident that his master had died violently.

"It's the autumn moon girl, and it's the most expensive top girl in the light sound painting boat today." The guy in the back added.

Lei Qi glanced at Jin Zhutou.

Because there was a murder in the morning, the one who died was the son of a wealthy dealer in Suzhou City, Rao is the light sound painting boat of Tianxiang Pavilion, and today he also stopped the business of the boat banquet. A large ship is still parked next to the pier where it docked last night. There have long been good people watching the play outside, pointing their fingers.

Jin Zhutou took his subordinates and came to the Qingyin Painting Boat with Lei Qi and others.

The old bustard was worried about the death of someone on his ship, how to explain to the boss, and when he saw that the official errand was coming again, he had to cheer up and come forward to receive him.

"Jin Zhutou, you are ......"

"Is there a girl from the Autumn Moon in your boat?" Jin Zhutou asked the bustard.

"There is indeed such a girl."

"She's on the ship now?"

"Jin Zhutou, you once confessed that all the people who were on the boat yesterday were not allowed to get off the boat, so let's be honest."

"I'm tired of you, mother, you lead the way, let's find this Qiuyue girl with something to ask."

The old bustard looked suspicious, but he also understood that Qiu Yue must have something to do with the death of the banker's son, so he led Jin Zhutou and his party to a long corridor on the second floor that was not open to the public. Akizuki's room is here.

The old bustard knocked on the door and said, "Is the girl awake?" How many officials are looking for you outside...... Girl? …… Girl? ”

She banged on the door, but no one answered inside.

Jin Zhutou waited impatiently, pushed the bustard away, and kicked open the door of Qiuyue's boudoir with a kick.

This house is much simpler than the upstairs wing, only a wooden house, separated by a screen from the antechamber bedroom, a wooden cabinet, and nothing else.

Behind the white screen, there was a gorgeously dressed woman. I couldn't see it really through the screen of Hunan embroidery, I only knew that she was standing, with her back to everyone, but she didn't move or make a sound.

"Miss Qiuyue, I am Jin Fangwu, the head catcher in Suzhou. Autumn Moon Girl? ”

But the woman did not speak, neither did she move.

Ji Cunyan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything was wrong. There was not a trace of popularity in this room, as if there was a dead man standing in it. She looked at Lei Qi inquiringly.

Lei Qi also looked at her and said to her, "There's a smell of blood in this room, haven't you smelled it?" ”

When Jin Zhutou heard this, he couldn't do much, so he crossed the screen in two or three steps and walked into the inner room.

He fixed his eyes on the "Autumn Moon Girl", but he screamed in fright, took a few steps back, and slammed his body against the window lattice on one side before stopping.

Everyone saw that Jin Zhutou's eyes were wide open, and his mouth couldn't be closed in surprise, as if he had seen something very terrifying.

Ji Cunyan shook his wrist and held the ink line copper bell between his fingers, if the "Autumn Moon Girl" suddenly crawled out from behind the screen, she could also attack at any time. Lei Qi and Zhang Ji also quickly followed, crossing the screen.

It turned out that the "Qiuyue girl" who was "standing" only had a thin piece of human skin, no flesh and bones, and a gorgeous dress was put on top of the human skin, and together with the human skin, was hung on the beam. Yes, through the screen, it is like a real person.

Miss Qiuyue is the top girl who Tianxianglou bought back at a great price, if she has any mistakes, the old bustard will have to lose a lot of silver. She was so bold that she squeezed a few traps and walked in, and when she saw the human skin, she screamed, rolled her eyes, and fainted in fright.

Zhang Ji had seen the world in the end, and sighed and said, "I drew a skin." ”

Lei Qi asked him: "You mean, yesterday's Qiuyue girl was the snake demon wearing a human skin and pretending?" ”

Zhang Ji nodded.

"This ...... This...... Is there really a youkai with painted skin? I thought it was only in the book. Jin Zhutou came to his senses at this time, and asked Zhang Ji with a pale face.

"Maybe the monster didn't think of such an evil method as painting skin before, but after reading the folk book, he might learn from it." Zhang Ji said.

"If this snake demon can put on the skin of a beauty, it can put on another person's. Maybe she's still in the boat. Lei Qi said, "Jin Zhutou, please take someone to lock the exit of the painting boat, and drive the people on the boat, regardless of men, women, and children, to the deck, I want to check them one by one." ”

"Yes!"

"Benke girl, the maid of the family, the old bustard turtle father, a big ship with one hundred and ten people, do you want to verify the identity one by one?" Zhang Ji asked Lei Qi.

"Don't worry! I only have the Dharma in my family. Ji Cunyan said proudly to Zhang Ji.

"Why don't we make a bet." Zhang Ji turned to Ji Cun and said, "I also have a way of being sharp-eyed." Let's see if your Ji family's spells are powerful, or if my Zhang Zhenren's Taoism is profound. ”

Ji Cunyan actually didn't have a bottom in her heart, but she looked at Lei Qi again, and said in her heart, even if I was not good, Senior Brother Lei Qi was one of the four masters of Xuanjing Hall. So she straightened her small chest and said, "Bet on it!" ”

Jin Zhutou drove all the living creatures on the ship to the deck and stood still, not even sparing the live chickens, ducks, rabbits and fish on the kitchen boat tied behind the painting boat. In particular, there are several yellow eels with three fingers thick and long arms.

watched Zhang Ji have fun.

Lei Qi frowned and said, "Jin Zhutou, are these ......?" ”

Jin Zhutou said: "Then in "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong will have seventy-two changes." I don't know what kind of snake spirit it is, whether it will turn into these chickens, ducks, fish or anything, so I also searched the back kitchen boat, and all in all, all the living things on the ship are here. I wonder how adults are going to cast spells? ”

Lei Qi first asked everyone to stand around, make room in the middle of the deck, and lay out a six-pointed star array on the floor for Ji Cunyan with copper bell ink threads. Then, let everyone stand in the center of the array made of ink threads.

Ji Cunyan said to Zhang Ji: "My six-pointed star array is powerful, you also saw it last time when you cut the snake!" Now, as long as I chant the spell and cast the spell, if the snake demon is really in the center of the array, the bell will ring wherever it is. ”

At this time, a man in black standing in the crowd sighed slightly. The entourage next to him whispered to him, "Young Master, the Ji family's six-pointed star array is really so powerful?" ”

The man said: "The six-pointed star array is indeed powerful, but the people who cast spells in this array are not powerful. If you want to catch the snake demon, it's a fool's dream. ”

Ji Cunyan said the trick in his mouth, sealed his hands, and waved his palms towards the center of the array network.

It's just that after her operation, the net did not move at all, and the copper bell lay quietly on the ground without any sound.

Ji Cunyan frowned slightly, and then recited the trick to cast the spell again, but the array network still did not react.

She looked back at Lei Qi with some weakness and said, "Senior Brother Lei Qi...... Isn't this snake demon on the ship? ”

Zhang Ji, who was on the side, smiled and said to Ji Cunyan: "Your method doesn't work, let's replace me!" First of all, this snake is definitely in the midst of these people at the moment. ”

As soon as Jin Zhutou heard this, the steel knife in his hand was half pulled out of the scabbard, and the men and women near him were frightened and retreated a few inches.

Ji Cunyan was unconvinced: "The bell didn't ring, how do you know?" ”

Zhang Ji said: "This six-pointed star array was contained by people with mana, so it couldn't be used. Otherwise, it would have sounded long ago by this time. Fluttershy, come out! ”

The fox demon Fluttershy, who was frightened by Ji Cunyan last time, walked out of the crowd and said to Zhang Ji, "Hello Zhang Tianshi! ”

Ji Cunyan recognized her at a glance and said, "Oh! You're the ...... last time."

Fluttershy bowed to Ji Cunyan and said, "Hello Miss Ji." ”

Zhang Ji said: "I didn't expect it! I've already put Fluttershy in the Light Sound Boat! With her, the bell in your six-pointed star array will ring at the foot of her. As for the reason why it didn't ring......"

Zhang Ji looked at these people on the deck.

Ji Cunyan pouted and said, "Okay! It's my shallow way, and I'm willing to gamble and lose. But it's none of my family's circle. If the third brother comes to cast a spell, the snake demon will definitely not be able to escape this net. Moreover, my spell has been broken, what can you do to guarantee that you will find the snake demon? ”

Zhang Ji smiled incomprehensibly, then beckoned the old bustard and asked, "Hello mother." ”

The old bustard said: "This little boy is good." I don't know what to send? ”

Zhang Ji said: "Your girl, can you sing?" ”

The old bustard said, "That's what I asked." The girls on my painting boat are all the top brands of Tianxianglou, not to mention singing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is not proficient? ”

Zhang Ji said: "Then let the girls sing a little song first, and I'll listen to it." I don't like to listen to anything else, so let's sing "Sihba Touch"! ”

Ji Cunyan, who was on the side, blushed, frowned, and said: "I knew that you were not a serious person, singing "Sihba Touch", you can figure it out." ”

The old bustard looked embarrassed and said: "Our girl has been teaching since she was a child, and all she learns is Pingtan minor tune and elegant poetry, this "Sihba Touch" ......."

Zhang Ji took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to the old bustard, saying, "This is not a difficult thing. Won't you be able to learn now, Mom, look at this silver, is it enough for these girls to learn "Sihba Touch" immediately? ”

The old bustard took the silver ticket, immediately smiled all over his face, and said in a stacked voice: "Yes!" Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! The little boy is so generous, let alone "Sihba Touch". Whatever the little boy wants to hear, our girl can sing! ”

Ji Cunyan frowned and asked Lei Qi, "Senior Brother Lei Qi, what does Zhang Ji want to do?" He doesn't just want to make a pomp and ask Tianxianglou's top red card to sing this to him, right? ”

Fluttershy, who was on the side, said, "Miss Ji, don't worry! Zhang Tianshi's move must have his intentions. Although this little Heavenly Master is young and has a deep Taoism, he is not comparable to ordinary Heavenly Masters. ”

The entourage on the other side also asked the man in black, "Young Master, what does this little Heavenly Master want to do?" Wouldn't it be at this juncture that you still want to spend money to listen to a little song? ”

The man in black said: "The folk Heavenly Master Divine Stick, there is always a way to deal with demons and ghosts. Some of them don't go into the stream, but they are really useful. This Celestial Master is not an ordinary person, just look at it! ”
