The middle-aged scholar's eyes lit up, and when he saw Li Chengjing's young appearance, he froze for a moment, and the people around him also looked at Li Chengjing with strange eyes.

The middle-aged man coughed lightly, put away the different colors on his face, and said with a smile: "I don't have the word sir." In the lower Wang Quanqing, licked as the secretary of the Yamen of Hongcheng County. The little brother really wants to take this errand, but isn't it a joke? ”

Li Chengjing couldn't notice the abnormality of the people around him, but he was a master of art and bold, even if there was really something unknown here, Li Chengjing didn't care.

He said: "Exactly, it's just that I was killed in a disaster at my next home, and I fled here, and I don't know ...... with no way to guide me."

"Haha, little things, little things!" Wang Quanqing said with a smile, and grabbed Li Chenjing's hand as soon as he could, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

Li Chengjing didn't break free, and thanked him with a smile: "Since that's the case, then thank you to the Wang scribe." ”

Wang Quanqing nodded, and pulled Li Chengjing to go in the yamen.

It's just that the list has not been removed, and it seems that a few more people are still being recruited.

Along the way, Wang Quanqing asked Li Chengjing's name, age and place of origin, and told Li Chengjing about the Yizhuang guard.

However, what Li Chengjing needs is a quiet place like Yizhuang where he can practice with peace of mind, where do you care about these, it is all in the left ear and out of the right ear.

When he came to the official's room, he almost didn't need anything for Li Chengjing's filial piety, so Wang Quanqing had full authority to help Li Chengjing handle all the paperwork processes, and then put a rough wooden plaque representing his identity in Li Chengjing's hand.

took Li Chengjing to the government Zhuang class, arrested a soap official, and asked him to send Li Chengjing to Yizhuang to report.

Before leaving, Wang Quanqing told Li Chengjing that if there was anything missing, just mention it to the soap officer, and the things would be sent to Yizhuang tomorrow at the latest.

When Li Chengjing followed the soap clerk on the street, people were still stunned.

When did the Yamen become so efficient?

Is Wang Quanqing too enthusiastic?

This made Li Chengjing, who was full of confidence at the beginning, start to feel a little weak in his heart.

You must know that this Hongcheng is different from other realms, and it can almost be regarded as Erlangtang's private territory, but it is openly ruled by officials of the Daqing court.

Even if there are demons to haunt them, the people of Erlangtang will not let the other party make trouble.

Li Chengjing thought about it, took out a few copper coins from his belt, and quietly stuffed them into the hands of the soap officer beside him.

The man's eyes lit up.

Li Chengjing smiled and asked in a low voice: "Li Zhukuai, dare to ask our officials and masters in Hongcheng, are they all so diligent and honest?" I used to want to get an errand in the yamen, but filial piety money is indispensable, and today really opened my eyes! ”

Li Zhu quickly and silently let the copper coin in his hand disappear without a trace, his eyes were almost narrowed, and he said with a smile: "That's not it, but, for the sake of you and me, I am from our own family, listen to my brother's advice, turn back to Yizhuang, brother, you better run away early." That Yizhuang is not for the living. ”

Sure enough, there was a problem.

Li Chengjing asked again.

But this catch is about to start gagging.

Li Chengjing suddenly felt that the familiar feeling had returned.

That's right, this is the low-level official in Daqing, how can he not collect money?

So Li Chengjing stuffed a few more copper coins.

At this time, Li Zhuai pulled Li Chengjing aside and began to tell what he knew.

It turns out that this Hongcheng has always had various legends of ghosts and monsters.

And several Yizhuang in Hongcheng are naturally the places where this kind of story happens the most.

This is not a deliberate choreography.

In fact, since Li Zhukuai was a child, he often heard that the caretaker of Hongcheng Yizhuang died violently and inexplicably, and later caused a lot of uproar.

It wasn't until the county guard asked the court for help, and a few monks and Taoists came, and it was a practice and a Jiao, and this kind of thing in Yizhuang rarely happened after that.

But I don't know why, in the past few years, the sudden increase in the violent death of the guards in Yizhuang in Hongcheng has increased.

As a native of Hongcheng, unless there are no children and no daughters, the old man who is lonely and helpless will take this errand, but even if there are many old people, he can't stand dying quickly.

The Yizhuang where Li Chengjing went to take office this time was the Yizhuang in the eastern suburbs of Hongcheng and near the Jingshui River. Responsible for the collection of the eastern city of Hongcheng, and the corpses of some villagers in the suburbs.

Of course, a caretaker like Li Chengjing doesn't have to do this, so naturally the corpse collector is responsible.

However, Li Zhukuai smiled and said: "But in fact, you don't have to worry, Jingshui Yizhuang is one of the few Yizhuang in Hongcheng that has not had a strange incident." The previous caretaker steward, who has been disease-free, has been disease-free, and this time the other party is dying, and the other guards of Yizhuang are all squeezing their heads and wanting to be transferred here. It's a pity that the county guard is naturally unwilling, and they are transferred, and it will be even more difficult for those Yizhuang who are prone to accidents to recruit people. ”

Li Chengjing asked suspiciously: "Since there is no danger, then why did you let me run away?" ”

Li Zhukuai smiled and said: "The old man who guards Jingshui Yizhuang, in fact, Li also knows, it is the old man in the alley of Li's house, I heard that there will be some chattering tricks, he can die safely, but it is not necessarily because of the peace of Yizhuang." If it was relied on the old man's tricks and changed others, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth. I see that you are from your own family, and you have a good face, so I can't bear to let you die in vain! ”

Li Chengjing said in his heart: "I'm afraid you are kind because of the copper money I gave!" ”

Li Chengjing smiled: "I see, thank you Li Zhu for your quick reassurance, but Li has actually understood some such things since he was a child, and he doesn't think it's a big problem, so I want to give it a try." Now that the world is not peaceful, it is not easy to find such a good job. ”

Li Zhu smiled quickly and said no more.

It seems that this person really doesn't have any money, otherwise he would definitely pay to ask if he has the ability to protect the old man.

After leaving the city, I walked for less than half an hour, and then I left the official road and came to a remote low land at the foot of the mountain.

A large river rushes through the foot of the mountain.

In the distance, I saw a very large courtyard, very dilapidated, made of mud and broken wood.

Outside the courtyard, there is a small simple harbor, but there are no ships docking.

When I came to the courtyard, I saw the word "Yizhuang" written above the courtyard gate, and the primer of the plaque had almost fallen off, and it was crawling with cobwebs and dust.

Li Zhukuai smiled and said: "This is Jingshui Yizhuang, you go in and see what is missing, if I am free tomorrow, I will help you buy some and send them!" ”

Li Chengjing nodded.

Pushing open the wooden door of Yizhuang, the purpose of entering is not a coffin, but an extremely spacious courtyard, and then looking inside, there is a room like a hall, the door of the room is just closed, there is no lock.

Li Chengjing walked over, pushed open the door, and a cold smell mixed with the smell of corpses came from the surface.

When I looked closely, the coffins were lying quietly in the hall, solemnly welcoming the arrival of Li Chengjing, the new master.
