Section 19 The county magistrate
The two of them stopped dressing up and quietly sneaked into the county office. Hua Xiongyu quietly motioned for Yusheng to follow him, and Yusheng followed him into the backyard not far away. The two went straight to the residence of Master Li and Lingchen, because only here did they know whether Miss Li in the mouth of the official was Lingchen. When I came to a delicate small courtyard, I saw a faint light in the main house inside, and there was a slightly crying shadow under the shadow of the lamp, like a very spiritual dust. Yusheng couldn't help but stepped forward to push the door in, but was grabbed by Hua Xiongyu and said, "Don't get excited, kid, in case there is fraud." ”
Yusheng came to his senses and said, "What should I do then?" ”
Hua Xiongyu said: "Let's wait until everyone in this courtyard is asleep, and then go in and see, you wait for me here, and I'll let the others sleep more soundly." I saw Hua Xiongyu holding a long small bamboo stick in his hand, turned around and went up to the eaves, and disappeared into the night.
Yusheng quietly hid in the fake stone mountain outside the house, looking at the shadow swaying with the light in a daze, and suppressed her excitement as much as possible in her heart, is it really her? I asked myself over and over again. Suddenly, there were a few poignant laughter not far away, and Yusheng's whole body was shocked, it was the laughter of a ghost! It seemed that the ghost was already standing next to him, and the Qianying in the room was crying even more and trembling slightly, Yusheng didn't feel that his heart was hot, and he rushed into Lingchen's room without thinking about it, grabbed Qianying's hand under the lamp, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
But the people behind him didn't react at all, followed by a cry for help: "Someone, the thief is here!" ”
Yusheng was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that this was Lingchen, just a thin woman who was close to Lingchen. The woman called for help one after another, in exchange for a large number of servants appeared in the house and in the courtyard, and Yusheng was really annoyed at this time.
And Hua Xiongyu, who was busy blowing smoke, first heard the strange laughter, and then saw a large number of officials surrounding Yusheng in the middle from a distance, and said with a pause: "This stinky boy, why is he so impulsive, he is really obsessed with his mind." I had no choice but to mix behind the officials and wait for the opportunity.
One of the officials walked out, and I saw that this person was of medium height, about forty years old, and dressed as an official. This person slowly walked towards Yusheng, looked Yusheng up and down, and said: "Bold thief, how dare you break into the county government at night, and also break into the lady's boudoir." ”
At this time, Yusheng was not panicked, smiled calmly, turned to look at the woman behind her, and said, "She is not Miss Lingchen at all." ”
The man asked, "Oh, have you seen Lingchen?" ”
Yusheng clasped his fists at the middle-aged man and saluted, "Master Li, please save Miss Lingchen."
Master Li sneered: "Who are you?" Recruit from the truth. ”
Yusheng calmed down and said: "The villain is just a guy from Jimin Hall, and he was unfortunately taken away by the ghost and Miss Lingchen that day, but he came to the government early this morning to report the case but was blocked by the officials. ”
Master Li glanced at Yusheng coldly, turned around and asked, "Is there such a thing?" Who stopped him outside? ”
Leader Zhang hurriedly said back and forth: "Master, it's those brothers who just came, and they don't know much about the master's orders, so they keep this brother out of the mansion." ”
Master Li said "um" and said to Yusheng: "Little brother, can you go to the house for a while?" After speaking, Master Li waved his hand, asked all the officials to retreat, and said to the woman behind Yusheng: "Qiuchan, you come too." After speaking, he led Yusheng to the back hall, Hua Xiongyu had to quietly withdraw with the officials, and slowly walked behind, and when he went around the corner of the corridor, Hua Xiongyu flew up to the eaves to find Yusheng's trace.
Yusheng followed Master Li to the back hall, and after sitting down, Master Li said to Yusheng: "Little brother, your surname? ”
Yusheng arched his hand and replied, "It's just a guy from Jimin Hall named Yusheng. ”
Master Li asked, "Your master is Bai Zhengbo, right?" ”
Yusheng was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand and said: "Bai Zhengbo is the family teacher, I don't know how Master Li knows my master?" ”
Master Li said: "Hehe, Brother Bai and I were friends in the early years, please ask your master on your behalf." ”
Yusheng replied: "I'll ask Master Li on behalf of the family teacher!" ”
Master Li smiled slightly, and then asked, "How did Brother Yu know the little girl?" The little girl doesn't know if she is safe now? ”
Yusheng hurriedly said: "Master Li, Miss Li and I were kidnapped by the ghosts in the rivers and lakes to the deserted house of the Situ family outside the city......" Before Yusheng finished speaking, Master Li's face turned pale when he heard the "deserted house of the Situ family", and his body stood up with a "whoosh", and his hand tightly grasped the armrest of the chair.
He said in a trembling voice: "You, how did you know about that haunted mansion! ”。
Master Li's changes also surprised Yusheng, and said: "I sometimes go to the deserted house to practice, because there are few people there and it is not easy to be disturbed, so I know ......."
Master Li stared at him with a strange look for a long time, and asked, "Who told you that it was the Situ family's deserted mansion?" You, you haven't seen anything unusual? ”
Yusheng looked at Master Li's nervousness stupidly, he couldn't understand why this parent official had such a reaction, and secretly thought in his heart: Could it be that Master Li really had a blood feud with ghosts before? Is there really some secret here? Yusheng made up his mind and said, "I didn't find anything abnormal in the next place, but I asked me to bring a message to the master and let you go to the deserted house to save Miss Lingchen."
Master Li looked at Yusheng coldly, and said in a trembling voice: "Go to the deserted house, why do you want to go to the deserted house?" Who is this smiling man? Why does it appear in a deserted house? Let Master Ben save Lingchen, how to save it? Can Master Ben save Lingchen? Master Li's series of questions and excessive reactions made Yusheng very puzzled, this is not what a parent would say, is he really the heinous enemy who killed the door in his mouth? A lot of questions rolled in Yusheng's heart.
I only heard Master Li suddenly look at Yusheng contemptuously and said: "Since the strong man is a master of the white hero, why did he abandon such a weak woman as the little girl and escape by himself, it is inevitable that he will lose the face of the white hero!" ”
When Yusheng heard this, he was angry, he stood up with a "puff", and said excitedly: "Yusheng is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he will not insult the name of the master, I have passed on the words of the ghost to you, master, I will go to find the hiding place of this ghost and the young lady." With that, he turned and walked out of the hall.
But as soon as Yusheng walked out of the hall, he felt the wind behind him, and before he could react, he was slapped heavily on his back. Zhang Putou's palm can't do anything to Yusheng in normal times, but Yusheng's injury has not healed and the body is highly poisonous, under the palm, Yusheng's mouth spit blood and crumbling, he raised his finger with difficulty and pointed at Master Li and Zhang Zhutou, and said: "Why, why did you sneak attack me." ”
Master Li walked up slowly, and said with a cold smile: "Want to go? Your yamen is a teahouse, come if you want, and leave if you want? ”
Yusheng was angry from his heart, his eyes had begun to blur, and he said vaguely with hatred: "I, I, I saw it wrong...... You...... After saying that, he fell to the ground and passed out.
Zhang Zhutou kicked Yusheng with his foot and said with a smile: "Boy, who do you think you are?" Master, do you want to enlarge this kid directly? ”
Master Li approached, glanced at Yusheng, and said, "No, move this kid to the side room, and then let Qiu Chan serve him." ”
Zhang Zhutou: "Ah! After a sigh, he looked at the county government master in great surprise, and Master Li sneered and scolded: "Stupid, for Bai Zhengbo, we still have to do something, understand?" ”
Zhang Zhutou still didn't seem to understand Mr. Li, and then said "Oh", and then asked, "What about the young lady?" ”
Master Li looked at the crescent moon in the sky faintly, and sighed lightly: "You take some people to secretly check the Situ family's house at night, and bring them back whether they are dead or alive...... Everything depends on her life, who told her that she also had that person's blood on her body......" Saying this, Master Li gritted his teeth fiercely, his fists clenched and gurgled, looking really scary, and even Zhang Zhutou couldn't help but shudder.
When everyone left, Hua Xiongyu quietly came down from the eaves outside the hall, and he thought to himself: Yusheng seemed to be fine now, and the injuries on his body were not easy to move...... This county lord is definitely not a good thing, but what's going on here? Isn't Bai Zhengbo a self-proclaimed chivalrous man, how could he have a friendship with this county master, and it seems that this master Li is still very jealous of him? Hehe, it's a hypocrite again...... It seems that it is a bit impossible to expect the government to release people, and Yusheng can't move now, so he can only find Miss Lingchen one step ahead of them, in exchange for his arrested brother. Hua Xiongyu thought of this, sneered, climbed onto the eaves, and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.
