Chapter 41: Hiding Opponents

After more than ten days of tiring travel, Yu Qingfeng finally entered the territory of Jeju.

Du Huanmo, the prefect of Jeju, personally greeted them, took them to the house, rested for a day, and went on the road together the next morning.

After all, Du Huanmo was the deputy judge of Zhou Lang's case, and he must follow Dali Temple to review the case.

Along the way, every time Yu Qingfeng stayed in the hotel, she would be anxious to ask how many rooms were left. She was really afraid of giving her another room that wasn't enough.

If she lives in a room with Pei Wunu, she doesn't want to sleep well.

She wants to take down this man, but although she is a promiscuous actor, she also resolutely refuses to play the bed scene.

Luckily, there were plenty of rooms along the way.

When he arrived at the residence of the Jeju prefect, Yu Qingfeng also liked to mention a single room.

During lunch, Pei Wuxian specially asked Du Huanmo to add a chair and let Yu Qingfeng also sit down. This move made Du Huanmo misunderstand Yu Qingfeng's identity.

Du Huanmo understood in his heart, tacitly understood with everyone, and was polite to Yu Qingfeng.

During the banquet, Du Huanmo talked about Zhou Lang's case in detail.

"Zhou Lang's case was concluded by you and Lord Xia?" Pei Wuyi asked knowingly, in fact, he wanted to know who the idea of sentencing Lou Anyi to death within three days was.

Lord Xia's name is Xia Feitao, and he is a criminal officer, and like Pei Wuyi, he is from the rank of Sanpin.

At the time of the incident, he happened to be patrolling Jeju and learned that there was such a case in Pingchuan County, involving the legend of ghosts and gods, so he went to Pingchuan County with Du Huanmo to take charge of the case.

Du Huanmo smiled meaningfully and bitterly, "It's not a secret, Xia Guan felt that there was a need for in-depth investigation of this case at that time, but Xia Ti was sentenced to ......."

Understood, the responsibility for the hasty conclusion of the case lies with Xia Feitao.

"What do you think of Xia Ti's punishment?" Pei Wuxian had a cold face, and he could also see that this Du Huanmo and Xia Feitao did not deal with it, half of the words were to test his attitude, but in fact, he was waiting to sue himself, "You just say it." ”

Du Huanmo really breathed a sigh of relief, so he said it directly.

Xia Tixing believed that this case involved ghost legends and could not expand the impact, lest the people panic, so he insisted on completing the trial and sentencing as soon as possible. And ......"

Du Huanmo began to hesitate again.

Pei Wuxian coughed, put down his chopsticks, and his face became even more gloomy.

Du Huanmo hurriedly continued, "And this Lou Anyi opened a gambling house, and after Xia Tixing learned about it, he tortured Lou Anyi, and decided that those who seek wealth must be killed...... Of course, it is also unfavorable for the lower officials, and they don't know that Pingchuan County has also set up such an underground gambling house. ”

"You don't know?"

Pei Wuxian squinted at Du Huanmo, the meaning couldn't be more obvious-the ghost believes that you don't know, isn't it just that you have received the benefits and turned a blind eye.

Du Huanmo swallowed his saliva, "Lord Pei, the officials are negligent, and the adults atone for their sins." This time, the lower officials will fully cooperate with Master Pei to find out the case. ”

Yu Qingfeng looked at Du Huanmo's groveling and flattering servile face, and couldn't help but smile secretly.

It seems that it was the previous case of the fox immortal's annihilation, and the fact that Pei Wuxian pulled down Fang Qingxuan, the prefect of Duanzhou, has spread. In the future, wherever Pei Wuyi goes to review the case, he will have to be regarded as a plague god by local officials, flattered in front of him and scolded behind his back.

Pei Wuyi understood that this time they came, and their opponent was Xia Feitao. The enemy's enemy can be a friend temporarily, and they also need a lot of cooperation from Du Huanmo. So his complexion softened a lot.

"Let's talk about the legend of this severed head ghost mound, what's going on?"

"This, this," Du Huanmo began to hesitate again, "Xiaguan has only been transferred to Jeju for four years, and the legend of twenty years ago, Xiaguan really doesn't know very well." ”

"You went to Pingchuan with Xia Tixing to handle the case, and you didn't ask about the origin of this ghost mound?" Lin Ming asked incredulously.

"Uh, this, this, it's really not a secret, the lower official wants to ask, but Lord Xia said that the legend of the ghost mound has nothing to do with the case, and it should not be discussed more, which will cause the people to spread false rumors, and the people will be panicked."

Du Huanmo put the blame on Xia Feitao again.

"Oh yes, before beheading Lou Anyi, Lord Xia also ordered that the tomb be sealed."

"Sealed?" Yu Qingfeng blurted out in a hurry, "Why? ”

"Oh, the girl didn't know, Lord Xia wanted to completely blow up the ghost mound with explosives, completely eradicate the ghost legend, and the explosives were transported to the vicinity of the ghost mound. However, several feng shui masters have said that the boundary of Cumulus Valley cannot be blown up, which will affect Jeju's feng shui fortune, not to mention, it will also cause natural disasters and stone flows. As a result, the people of Pingchuan also went to Cumulus Valley to protest, and Lord Xia had no choice but to give up. ”

"Fortunately," Yu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and silently thanked the feng shui master, "so how did it end up?" ”

"Fill in the holes that the grave robbers have opened. This severed head Onizuka has been alive for nearly twenty years, and was recently targeted by a group of tomb robbers, who searched in Cumulus Valley for a few days and found the location of the excavation. Unexpectedly, digging and digging, they really dug up to the tomb. It is precisely because of this thief hole that there is a gamble between Zhou Lang and Lou Anyi. ”

It seems that there is still a lot of work, and we have to dig out the buried holes.

This Xia Feitao is really suspicious, not to mention the hasty closure of the case, but also to destroy the crime scene. But he, a foreigner who inspected Pingchuan County, and a high-ranking official from Sanpin, had any motive for the murder of two gamblers?

Is the legend of Onizuka really nothing to do with the gambler's secret room case?

Yu Qingfeng felt that there must be something to do with it. Just like the previous fox fairy legend, the so-called ghost legend is a man-made conspiracy.

What's more, the scene of this murder, that is, the secret room, is in this legendary haunted tomb.

After lunch, Pei Wuxian proposed that everyone go to Jeju together, and since the official can't give an answer, then go to the people to inquire about the statement about this severed head ghost mound.

In the afternoon, the downtown area of Jeju is bustling with activity. The four of them found a teahouse where they could listen to books, and felt that both storytellers and storytellers were the groups most likely to know the legend of Onizuka.

The four of them acted separately and went out to talk, and Yu Qingfeng directly aimed at the storyteller.

In the end, nothing was found.

"After all, it was 20 years ago, and it is the story of Pyeongcheon County, and it is normal for Jeju people not to know." Lian Shurong shrugged helplessly.

"The oldest person here has heard of the Guillotine Mounza too, but they don't know more than we do." Lin Ming can be stronger than Lian Shurong.

"It is recorded in the dossier that the owner of the tomb of the severed head ghost mound is named Ding Chuanzong, who was the magistrate of Pingchuan County back then, and was beheaded because of the greed for ink and disaster relief," Pei Wuyi pointed to a teenage child not far away with his eyes, "I just heard the child reciting a nursery rhyme, and there was a sentence: The two sleeves are clear and the wind is passed on to Ding Chuanzong, and it is difficult to settle the death with injustice." ”

"Unjustly killed?" Yu Qingfeng understood, "If it is an unjust death, it is indeed more in line with the legend of revenge of powerful ghosts." ”

"The child said that the nursery rhyme was taught to him by his uncle who came to Jeju from Pyeongcheon County to visit his relatives." Pei Wuxian looked directly at Yu Qingfeng and made a gesture of please.

Yu Qingfeng smiled proudly, "I didn't hear any news about the Guillotine Mokazuka. ”

"Then what did you talk to the storyteller about?" Lian Shurong was extremely disappointed.

"Mr. Storyteller is a foreigner, and I have never heard of the legend of the severed head ghost mound. But when I mentioned 'decapitation', he told me about the decapitation trick of the troupe. ”

"Decapitation?" Lin Ming was surprised and curious, obviously he had never seen it.

"Mr. Storyteller said that this guillotine trick has only one troupe performance in the Dayong Dynasty, which is rare to see. Coincidentally, this troupe is now in Jeju, performing in front of Yunhui Building tonight. ”

Pei Wuxian squinted his eyes and asked Yu Qingfeng: "Do you want to see it?" ”

"Of course, it depends on Dayong's only troupe that can decapitate his head, how can he let it go if he is fated to meet?" Yu Qingfeng deserves it.

"What are we here for?" Pei Wuyi didn't seem to have any interest in any decapitation tricks.

"If it's another trick, forget it, this is a guillotine trick, of course it's related to the case. If Lou Anyi is not the real murderer, he didn't lie, and he really saw the decapitated ghost, then someone must have used tricks to pretend. ”

"It's nothing to look at, it's just a trick. How to decapitate a living person, I have the answer. Pei Wuyi did not hide his smugness.
