The people around were all amazed by the change just now, and the eyes that looked at Xue Daoren completely changed.

And some people who are close to Lao Zheng Tou are also pleasantly surprised by his recovery at this moment, and when Lao Zheng Tou is still coughing, some people can't help but make a sound.

"Old Zhengtou, how are you?" "Uncle Zheng, are you okay?"

Xue Daoren didn't think too much for the time being, and looked at the old man on the side.

"Ahem, ahem. Vomit. Bah. Water, give me water."

"Here it is, here comes the water!"

The person who was originally in charge of taking care of the comatose servant next to him immediately brought a bowl of tea, and Lao Zheng Tou took the bowl, first took a big mouthful, and then spit it out with a "poof" after rinsing his mouth.

Then he drank a bowl of water in one go, and then he felt like the world was spinning.

With a sound of "pop~", the bowl in Lao Zhengtou's hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Lao Zheng Tou himself was not planted from the bed, but fortunately, the official on the side quickly helped Lao Zheng Tou.

"Old Zheng Tou!" "Uncle Zheng?"

"Lie down, lie down!" "Dao Chief, what's going on?"

Xue Daoren waved his hand.

"It's okay, it's just that the body is weak, and the doctor still has to catch the tranquilizer medicine, so that he can consolidate his foundation."

"Hey, I'm going to the pharmacy!"

Someone left with a prescription, while Xue Daoren sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the relieved old Zheng Tou, and asked about the situation again.

"Old man, tell me what you saw or felt last night, right?"

Everyone else understands that this is the main event, and even Lang Zhong, who has just gone out, is reluctant to leave even though he has already collected the consultation fee, so he came over.

"Yes, old Zheng Tou, what did you see last night?"

Lao Zhengtou's breath calmed down, and he looked at Liu Huifang and Qiao'er, who were just a little outside the bed, and the thoughts that were still a little chaotic just now became clear, and he recalled some things last night.

"Last night, I heard Miss Qiao'er shouting, so I went over."

With Lao Zheng Tou's narration, everyone also substituted into it to imagine the scene of last night, Lao Zheng Tou panicked when he heard the shouting over there, and hurriedly came to Liu's room.

Judging from Qiao'er's words inside, the old Zheng Tou at that time thought that the people inside felt that there was a thief, and after the explanation, the people inside were relieved.

It's just that as soon as Qiao'er's door opened, horror appeared on her face, and then she screamed, and Liu Shi inside also exclaimed.

"I don't know what happened, but it must have been something behind me, and as soon as I turned around, I felt a chill hit me, and I saw a terrible ghost with a cloak and blood all over it."

Speaking of this, Lao Zheng's hands were shaking at this moment, and the people listening next to him also felt that their scalps were numb.

Qiao'er and Liu's hands and feet were cold, and they were snuggling up to each other full of fear.

And Lao Zheng Tou's narrative continues.

"I was so frightened that I instinctively backed away and ran away."

"Run away, but Miss Qiao'er said you fainted at the time, right?"

The official who spoke didn't continue, and subconsciously looked at Xue Daoren beside the bed, there were many people who did the same thing, and even the old official himself.

Lang Zhong on the side showed amazement, stroked his beard and looked at the person on the bed, and then looked at the Taoist beside the bed.

This is also the first time that Lang Zhong has actually heard the "separation of body and soul", and the so-called shocking gods often can't imagine the specific details.

Xue Daoren is the only one who is relatively calm, and when everyone is panicking, he can also reassure others by acting calm.

"And then, what happened after that?"

The old servant nodded and continued.

"At that time, I only knew that I was afraid, and I couldn't think of anything else, and when I ran away, I glanced at the door over there, and the ghost rushed towards the house, and I even heard it shouting, 'It's all you, it's all you.'"

The others had goosebumps, and the two women even clasped their arms with their hands.

"Then there was the terrible cry of the ghost, but it didn't seem to get into the house, and I saw a burst of white light come out of the house, and it flew away."

"And then?"

"Later, then I already fled, and I didn't know, I just ran away, I fled, I was confused, and I didn't know much about it just now, I heard someone talking to me?"

Xue Daoren frowned, just now? Could it be that the ghost has already appeared at this moment?

However, Lao Zhengtou's next words dispelled the doubts of Xue Daoren and others.

"I seem to hear someone say, "My time hasn't come yet, let me go back, and then I was slapped on the back, and then I felt like I fell from a great height, and I fell back all of a sudden, and then I woke up."

Saying this, Lao Zheng Tou seemed to be in a trance, and the faces of others were also very exciting.

Xue Daoren also showed a hint of surprise on his face and spoke.

"It seems that there are ghosts and gods passing by and helping you to come back so quickly."

Old Zheng Tou looked at the Taoist and couldn't help but ask.

"What does the Taoist mean, the voice is"

Xue Daoren looked Lao Zheng Tou up and down, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"The old man is not young, the next time you hear that kind of voice again, when the yang shou is exhausted, who is the voice? Gong Mizhi, Jiao Liangyi, one of the two! ”

The young men in the county government didn't know these two names, and even the old officials who often went to worship God didn't know.

Xue Daoren is not surprised, ordinary people ask God to worship the Buddha, that is, the little monk recites the scriptures without intention, and leaves after asking for things on incense, how can they pay attention to "superfluous" things?

But at this moment, Liu Shi spoke.

"Gong Mizhi, Jiao Liangyi, a person from the former dynasty, Haiyu County Chronicles records, the ancestral home is Haiyu County, Beihai County, the former is jealous and hateful, the latter was the old head catcher of the county, and he returned to his hometown in old age, and it is rumored that the two died as the left and right messengers of the county's daily patrol."

Liu's voice paused before continuing.

"That is, the two Sun Wandering Gods under the jurisdiction of Lord Chenghuang!"

Xue Daoren couldn't help but glance at Liu Shi more, it seems that this county lady is a rare and knowledgeable woman.

"That's a good point!"

Xue Daoren looked at Qiao'er on the side again.

"Miss Qiao'er, you said before that the ghost thing disappeared in the rain after it was shaken away, right?"

Qiao'er also eased up a bit, and nodded when she heard the words.

"Exactly!"

"Hmm!"

Xue Daoren gently stroked his beard and thought carefully, combined with a lot of information during this time, and then his expression flashed, he looked at Liu, and then looked around at the officials.

"The previous nightmare was heavy rain. Blood dripping from the ghost's body, and his face was hideous."

Based on years of experience, coupled with his own inferences and speculations, especially after listening to the narration of the land lord, Xue Daoren boldly assumed and said.

"Before this ghost was born, she should have been hit by a sword and thrown into the water, and when she died, it was not because of the sword, but because of drowning and suffocation"

"Thrown into the water after being stabbed?"

The head catcher on the side couldn't help but repeat it like this, it sounded like it was a case, and he thought about it out of instinct.

And Xue Daoren also glanced at the headcatcher, nodded and said.

"Yes, it was thrown into the water, and no one found it, maybe it was in a well."

This calm narration makes people shudder, and it may even be better than when Old Zheng Tou talked about powerful ghosts just now.

"This ghost is so powerful, Dao Chief, do you have a way?"

Qiao'er couldn't help but speak, she not only cared about the young lady who grew up together, but also cared about her own safety.

"Oh, don't worry, the poor road has its own countermeasures!"

Even if Xue Dao is not completely confident in his heart, he has to be very confident.

Then Xue Daoren told Lao Zheng Tou to have a good rest, and let everyone disperse, and the officials kept talking about it in twos and threes, some of them were flustered, and some were slightly excited.

The head catcher subconsciously looked at the Liu family who left with Qiao'er, and frowned.

When he saw that Xue Daoren was also about to leave, the head catcher walked a few steps quickly, approached behind the Taoist and spoke in a low voice.

"Dao Chief, please stay!"

Xue Daoren glanced back at the head catcher, and he expected it from the moment he saw the face of the head catcher.

Sure enough, the first sentence of this head catcher confirmed a certain speculation of the Taoist.

"Dao Chief, you just said that he was hacked to death with a knife and pushed into the well Zhong Mou heard the old legend, the so-called injustice has a head and a debtor, even if it is a powerful ghost, there is a cause, Mrs. is gentle and virtuous on weekdays, how could she."

Xue Daoren nodded slightly, and the expression on his face was very interesting.

"Mrs. Guan is naturally impossible, but it is by no means completely irrelevant. That life-seeking ghost is said to be a terrible ghost, and it is also a poor and poor ghost, and he is not a ghost who understands until he dies, and his paranoia at the last moment of his life is the most crazy."

The Taoist walked away with a sigh, his head-catching steps slowed down, and he frowned and looked at the other party's back, and it took a long time to follow.

The county magistrate was not there, and all the affairs of the county government were decided by several other officials, but I heard that the haunted ghosts were also hiding far away, and finally the county lieutenant appeared and arranged for the county government officials to be on duty.

Although the county lieutenant may not believe the words of the Taoist, many people in the yamen are talking nonsense, and after all, it involves the wife of a county magistrate and the daughter of the Liu family, so they have to be treated with caution.

Even pretending to have to be there.

Normally, many officials in the county government follow a Taoist to arrange this arrangement and that, which is somewhat ridiculous.

But today is different, and even many officials are still very active, especially the part of Lao Zheng Tou who has seen the skills of the Taoist, and under their drive, other officials who have not seen it will not be so careless.

In the garden of the backyard, the county lieutenant watched a few officials follow the Taoist people to put a small statue there, shook his head and whispered.

"I'm afraid it's a farce."

The head catcher next to the county lieutenant had been thinking about his thoughts, and at this moment, he looked at the county lieutenant and couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Lu, are you coming tonight too?"

The county lieutenant smiled, he valued Zhong Zhutou very much, so he also said a few more words.

"I still have to come, not to catch ghosts, but to be an official! Okay, let's go home early today, rest and rest, lest you not wake up in the middle of the night. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"Well, let's go back quickly!"

The head catcher saluted, looked at some of the busy officials, and then took his leave and left.

Tonight's staff will work in two shifts, one in the first half of the night, and the head catcher belongs to the group in the second half of the night, and this group of people will go home early to rest.

But listening to the man, it's probably not just tonight, it's going to be the case for many days to come.

The sun had just begun to set in the west when the head was caught out of the county office, and in the past, this time period should have been patrolling the county, but today it was going home.

However, the head catcher did not go directly to the direction of home, but habitually walked around the county town according to the patrol route, and it was not bad for a while anyway.

Some of the streets in the city are crowded with people, and some places are relatively deserted, holding a saber in one hand and swinging at the side of the other, and the eyes of the head catcher are as usual and quickly see many people, but their hearts are also thinking about the things that happened in the yamen before.

Unconsciously passing by the inn that investigated the case in the middle of the night, because of the recent death, I don't know how outsiders learned the news, maybe it was the foot driver and the like, anyway, seeing that the business was not as good as before, I wanted to recover for a while.

But passing by this inn, the head catcher couldn't help but recall the situation of that day and the murder.

It's just that now the county government doesn't seem to have much enthusiasm for this murder, mainly because the county lord doesn't seem to have any intention of investigating it anymore.

"Oops."

A cry of pain attracted the attention of the head catcher, and he looked for the sound, and a white-haired old man fell at the entrance of the alley in the distance, and the people around him passed by him and ignored it.

The head catcher frowned slightly, although wearing a public costume and carrying a weapon would make ordinary people fearful, but at this moment he still stepped forward quickly and reached out to support the old man.

"Old man, are you alright?"

"Thank you, thank you, I'm fine."

After the old man was helped up, he thanked him again and again, and then stared at the head catcher for a closer look.

"Climbing the power and attaching the noble can also be comfortable, but the righteousness is depressed, and the fear of untimely death is relieved"

"Huh?"

The head catcher frowned, a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong, but he saw the old man stretch out his hands, slapped it silently in front of the head catcher, and then patted the dust on his body and prepared to leave.

"Old man, what did you just say?"

The head catcher subconsciously asked, but the old man showed a little panic at the moment.

"The poor master heard it wrong, the old man doesn't dare"

Looking at the old man's face that he thought the public was finding fault, the head catcher shook his head and didn't say anything, watched the other party leave, looked at the inn over there, and then looked back at the direction of the county government that could no longer be seen.

Why are there so many gods chattering recently?
