Seeing that Wang Qilin was about to find someone, Xu shouted: "Seventh Master, you really listen to me, what if they call out that ghost can't read?
Qin Tao thought for a while and said, "The students of the Academy who used this spell, maybe the ghost they called is also a ghost with a meritorious reputation?"
Wang Qilin waved his hand and said: "There is no need to discuss this, let's go find the paper first, there must be a reason why the paper was taken away." ”
"Where to find it?" asked Xu Da.
Dou Dachun scrambled and said: "This is not simple? Whose house is here? And who reported the case first? If you find these people, you will definitely be able to sort out the clue." ”
This idea is also Wang Qilin's idea, to be precise, he went straight to Yu Xiaohai's house.
Yu Xiaohai's nose was bubbling when he was asleep, and after being woken up, he came out in a daze and asked, "My lord, have you caught a ghost?"
Xu Da was shocked: "It's still unclear whether your son is alive or dead, can you actually fall asleep?"
Yu Xiaohai said embarrassedly: "No, I couldn't sleep, I was melancholy, so I drank some wine, and I fell asleep after drinking......"
"Okay, this official doesn't care," Wang Qilin interrupted him, "The official asked you, when you found that your children lost their souls, was it the first old mansion you entered?"
Yu Xiaohai said: "Yes, it's my first, I'll open the door and take a look, hey!"
Tears flowed immediately.
Wang Qilin asked, "Then have you seen any paper on the table?"
Yu Xiaohai shook his head and said: "No, absolutely not, there are a few students in it, that scene, hey!"
Tears are coming again.
recalled the treacherous scene of his son lying on the bloodstains at that time, and he couldn't stop the pain in his heart, like a blunt knife.
Uncomfortable!
Dou Dachun asked sharply: "Yu Xiaohai, you tell the truth to this official, have you gotten any paper? This matter is related to your son's life, if you dare to hide something, see how this official treats you!"
Yu Xiaohai hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Lord Dou, you also said that this matter is related to the life of the dog, so how dare I hide it? Isn't it just a few pieces of paper? If you want, there are still some rice papers at the villain's house, can I give them all to you?"
Dou Dachun's eyes were about to get angry, Wang Qilin stopped him and asked again: "Yu Xiaohai, this official asked you, the old mansion belongs to your family, but it has been abandoned for many years, so how did you think of going to the old mansion to find your son?"
Yu Xiaohai said: "It was a student from the academy who came to inform me, and he said that the dog gathered a few classmates and went to the old mansion to invite ghosts. ”
Wang Qilin said: "Very good, which student is it?"
Yu Xiaohai said without hesitation: "It was Zhou Xinlai who called me, he is a roommate friend of the dog in the Hanging Sail Academy. ”
Wang Qilin said: "Come with us and go to Hangfan Academy to find Zhou Xin." ”
Hangfan Academy is the official academy of Jixiang County, located on a small hill in Xicheng, it is a temple reconstructed, which brings together the most talented and promising young people in the county.
Qin Tao followed the crowd and asked, "Why is this academy called Hanging Sail Academy?"
Xu Da said casually: "It should come from Li Taibai's famous poem "Difficult to Walk", which has a famous sentence called "There will be a time when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail to the sea". ”
Qin Tao looked at him in surprise and said, "You are really a showman?"
Xu Da didn't bother to pay attention to him, stupid hat, the uncle is full of economic prosperity like a woman's October pregnancy, he can't hide it, what's the doubt?
As a result, Qin Tao laughed again and said: "But you are wrong, the name of this academy is not derived from "Difficult to Travel", it is derived from Li Taibai's poem, but it is not "Difficult to Travel", but "Night Park Niuzhu Nostalgia", which uses the Ming Dynasty sail mat, and the maple leaves fall one after another. ”
Xu Da said disdainfully: "You know again." ”
"Of course I know," Qin Tao said seriously, "The Hanging Sail Academy is full of maple trees, and now the mountain is full of red, like a fire, and when the academy was named at the end of autumn and early winter, when Cheng Gong looked at Master Cheng and walked into the academy, he saw the maple leaves falling all over the mountain, so he had this name." ”
Wang Qilin asked, "How do you know so carefully?"
Qin Tao said with a smile: "I studied at the Qiuyue Academy in Yunzhou City, and the first sacrificial wine of our academy was Cheng Fuzi, and the names of the two academies were taken by him, and the names were all made by "Yebo Niu Zhu Nostalgia", but do you know which sentence of poetry our academy came from?"
Wang Qilin didn't speak, it was the first time he heard that Li Bai had such a poem.
Xu Da continued to respond with a disdainful expression: "Board the boat and look at the autumn moon, and remember General Xie in the air." ”
Qin Tao arched his hand at him and said, "Your Excellency is a poet, and you deserve to be a talent." ”
Xu Da's face was grim and did not respond.
But Wang Qilin knew when he walked and took those figure-eight steps, which made his heart absolutely happy.
The Hanging Sail Academy is on the top of the hill, and there is a bluestone path leading to the Academy, and the road is full of maple trees, which is a beautiful scenery during the day, and it is not beautiful to walk in the maple forest late at night.
The autumn wind blows, and the red maple leaves rub against each other to make a rattling sound, like countless skinned hands slapping.
Wang Qilin patted open the door of the academy, and the porter asked with sleepy eyes, "What are you going to do?"
"Find Zhou Xin. Dou Dachun stepped forward and said.
Mr. Concierge knew the goods, and when he heard that the Heavenly Supervisor and the Yamen were coming, he knew that there was something important, so he hurried to report the sacrificial wine that lived in the academy, that is, Meng Zhongxian, the priest of Jixiang County.
Wang Qilin didn't have time to delay, he asked Yu Xiaohai to lead the way and went straight to Zhou Xin's dormitory.
The management of the Hanging Sail Academy is strict, and the students can only go home at the beginning of the month and one day in the middle of the month to go home to get pen, ink, paper, inkstone, grain, oil, rape and meat, and at other times they have to stay in the academy and study the books of the sages, so the students here are all living in the dormitory, and the dormitory is a chase shop, and there are eight people in a house, and the conditions are ordinary.
Zhou Xin's dormitory is also the dormitory where Yu Xiaohai's son Yu Pengcheng is located, Wang Qilin thought that the six students who lost their souls were all from this dormitory, but it turned out that this was not the case, Yu Xiaohai told him that among the six people, only another student named Tie Wuya was in the same dormitory with them, and the other four were from other dormitories.
When they arrived at the door of the dormitory, they looked inside, and there was no one in the dormitory!
Meng Zhongxian was woken up from his dream, his heart was full of getting up, and he pulled his face over and asked, "Lord Wang, Lord Dou, why did you break into my academy late at night?"
Wang Qilin pointed to the empty dormitory and asked, "What about the people here?"
Meng Zhongxian looked inside and was dumbfounded.
Fortunately, Mr. Porter knew what was going on, and said: "I went to other dormitories, they said that Yu Pengcheng and Tie Wuya and others had provoked ghosts, and this ghost was afraid that they would follow the trail, so they moved their bunks and changed to other dormitories after school in the evening." ”
But he didn't know which dormitory he went to, so it was lively, Dou Dachun and Xu Da led people to wake up all the students and look for Zhou Xin.
The officials were noisy, the students were complaining, and the whole college was in chaos.
Meng Zhongxian was very dissatisfied with the quiet and peaceful academy quarrel like this, and he muttered vigorously, 'What kind of system is insulting'.
Wang Qilin was impatient and said, "Master Meng, I heard that the management of Hangfan Academy is strict and there are many talents, right?"
Meng Zhongxian said proudly: "Of course ......"
He was about to brag, but Wang Qilin didn't give him a chance, and said quickly: "But last night, some students in your academy crossed the wall and went to other dormitories, and tonight there were students who were worried that ghosts and evil would come to the door and change to other dormitories without permission.
Meng Zhongxian's face turned blue all of a sudden.
Zhou Xin is a handsome young student with a thin body, he was brought out by Xu Da, and said in fear: "I don't know if the students have violated the law and discipline, how can I have to ask the adults to come to see him in person?"
Wang Qilin asked, "Zhou Xin, where are the papers you got from the Yu family's old mansion?
Zhou Xin said categorically: "I didn't take any paper, I'm afraid I'm looking for the wrong person, right?"
Hearing this, Wang Qilin laughed, Xu Da and Xie Toad laughed, and Dou Dachun also laughed.
Dou Dachun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, don't play tricks in front of us if you are so tender." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly said to Meng Zhongxian: "Master Meng, you take out the wine jug you took at my house. ”
Meng Zhongxian subconsciously asked, "What wine jug?"
Dou Dachun looked at Zhou Xin again: "Understood?"
Zhou Xin looked at him stupidly, and didn't react for a while.
Seeing this, Dou Dachun shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can move the bunk home tomorrow, you still want to study with your understanding?"
The porter sighed and said, "Zhou Xin, you can take it out." Just now, Lord Dou is showing you what the reaction should be if you really don't take the paper of the old house. You should ask 'what paper' blankly, instead of insisting that you didn't take anything, wouldn't you be telling people that you are ready to refuse in advance. ”
Meng Zhongxian also reacted, and he shouted angrily at Zhou Xin: "You dare to commit theft?"
Zhou Xin was a student who had never seen the world after all, and when he saw that his careful preparation was easily debunked, and some teachers were angry, he was suddenly frightened and silent.
Wang Qilin said: "Do you know what the crime of deceiving the Heavenly Prison is? I kindly remind you that the Heavenly Prison is the guard of the Son of Heaven, and the crime of deceiving the Heavenly Prison is the same as bullying the king. Lord Xu, what is the crime of bullying the king?"
"Zhu Jiu Clan!" Xu Da said through gritted teeth.
Zhou Xin's spirit suddenly collapsed, and he cried and said: "Adults spare their lives, spare their lives, students are confused for a while, students shouldn't be, students are wrong......"
Meng Zhongxian wanted to slap him angrily: "Reading the book of sages should be a gentleman's business, you dare to steal, you are really, really, I am angry!"
Zhou Xin did bring out some papers from the old house, he hid them in his wooden box compartment, and when he took them out, his arms trembled terribly, and when Wang Qilin got these papers, he collapsed to the ground.
Wang Qilin was surprised, what was written on the paper that made this student scared like this?
There are only two sheets of paper in this stack, but they look thick when folded.
After opening it, there was blood-red handwriting on it, and Xu Da frowned when he saw the first one: "Swinging, the people are incompetent; ”
"The Zhou and Tang dynasties are heavy on the outside and light on the inside, and the Qin and Wei dynasties have their own opinions. ”
"Concerning? 'No'. However, he was happy and sleepless!"
"Li Baiyue wears a palace brocade robe at night, boating and quarrying", endowed with the rhyme of "Gu Zhan smiles proudly, if there is no one around" ......"
"Don't read it!" Meng Zhongxian shouted fiercely.
Wang Qilin turned around and was surprised to find that this Sect Lord, who had always paid attention to appearance and image, had a gloomy face, panicked eyes, and trembling lips that were gray and pale, and there was no blood!
"What's wrong?"
Meng Zhongxian went up and snatched the piece of paper and hurriedly stuffed it into his arms.
Wang Qilin was about to get angry, Xie Toad said in a deep voice: "This is the question of this year's county examination, yes or no?"
Meng Zhongxian shouted in panic: "How can it come out? I have only audited this question with the three doctors of Li Zhixian and Fucheng for two days, how can it appear on this piece of paper now?"
Wang Qilin understood.
Yu Pengcheng and others turned out to be the test questions for the county test to exorcise ghosts!
Yu Xiaohai also understood, his lips squirmed and he wanted to say something, but his body staggered and fainted!
His son's fate has changed, from a scholar with a bright future to a prisoner!
The fate of his Yu family has also changed, and according to the laws of the country, there will be no scholars for the three generations of the Yu family.
The founding of the New Han Dynasty was not long, and it was thirsty for talent, so the boys' test of the previous dynasty was once a year in this dynasty.
The children's examination consists of three examinations, namely the county examination, the prefectural examination, and the hospital examination, which are collectively referred to as the primary examination.
Among them, the county examination is in the hall of the county yamen, and the examination questions are formulated by the chief examiner of the county, the county and the scholars designated by the county and the prefecture, and the examination is carried out in the monthly examination every year, because the examination is a year and is close to the New Year, so it is also called the annual examination.
After the county examination, there are also the prefectural examination and the academy examination, both of which are conducted in the Fucheng Yamen, in which the prefectural examination and the county examination are the same as paving the way for the academy examination, only the students who pass these two sessions are called children, and then they are eligible to take the Xiucai examination.
Hearing this, Wang Qilin sighed: "Lao Xu, you can actually be admitted to Xiucai, no wonder no matter who hears about your Xiucai identity, they are all surprised, you guys from the head to the feet, from the front mouth to the back of the eye, there is really no place like a person who can be admitted to the Xiucai." ”
Qin Tao nodded frantically in agreement.
Knowing what is on this piece of paper, everything makes sense.
Yu Pengcheng and the six of them listened to the sound of blood dripping on the ground in a deserted old mansion and endured the fear of recruiting ghosts, just to get this exam question.
Zhou Xin confessed, crying and said: "They invited me to come, but I didn't dare to go, I wasn't afraid of ghosts, I was afraid of stealing the exam questions, this is going to be exiled." Then they secretly ran out last night, and before they came back early this morning, I knew that something was wrong, and hurried to the Yu family's old house to look for them, but when I went to see that they all fainted in a pool of blood, and a few pieces of paper were spilled on the ground. ”
"My lord, the student swears, the student didn't think about stealing the exam questions, really, the student didn't want this to happen, because once it happened, they would be finished, so the student smuggled out all the papers. The students swore that they didn't read it! They really didn't! The students just couldn't bear to let them study hard for many years and work hard for many years, and once they turned into a wasted stream!"
Meng Zhongxian roared: "Shut up! You, this little brute! You also have a part in this matter, yes or no?"
Zhou Xin shook his head desperately: "Teacher, please be clear, I didn't participate, I really didn't participate, this matter was led by Yu Pengcheng, I didn't participate from beginning to end!"
Yu Xiaohai, who had just been pinched by Qin Tao's pinching and woke up, rolled his eyes when he heard this, and pulled it again!
Meng Zhongxian was about to roar, but Wang Qilin stopped him and said: "Master Meng, don't be angry, Zhou Xin didn't lie, he really didn't read the content on the paper, at least not carefully, otherwise he wouldn't have put the two pieces of paper away." ”
There were also blood characters on the second piece of paper, he handed it to Xu Da, Xu Da suddenly changed color when he saw it, and he handed it to Xie Toad, Xie Toad looked at it and muttered: "Immeasurable Tianzun, this is for you." ”
"Yes, it seems that my big seal has become a thorn in the side of some people not long after taking office. Wang Qilin said with a smile.
The first piece of paper was written on the test questions of the county examination, needless to say, this was a good thing that the six scholars ordered the ghost to do.
The second piece of paper was written what the ghost asked the six scholars to do, and the six scholars were dumbfounded on the spot after reading the contents, they didn't do it, and then the ghost took their souls away.
Wang Qilin can do this.
Dou Dachun was very curious and asked, "What do the ghosts want those six fools to do? How difficult is it for them to be voluntarily snatched away without even trying?"
Qin Tao shook his head: "Impossible, this matter will not be particularly difficult, it must be something that six scholars can do, otherwise this transaction cannot be established." ”
Wang Qilin smiled and said: "Yes, the six of them can do it, but even if they are smart and don't do it, otherwise they will save their souls, but the whole family will be implicated, and the family will be ruined!"
Xie Toad said: "Yes, they have made a family ruined and people are dead. If they don't do it, there is a high chance that their souls will be temporarily taken away by ghosts, and sooner or later someone will be able to help them retrieve their souls. ”
Wang Qilin looked at the sky, there was still time to deal with this matter, he asked Xu Da to go back and bring people, and he and Xie Toad went to see the ghost first.
The ghost did not leave, and kept circling around the offering table.
The temptation of the offering table to the ghosts and evil is too great, which represents their ultimate pursuit: to realize the avenue and become immortals!
Dou Dachun lay on the wall and secretly looked inside, and he had the right to train himself to be brave.
Qin Tao was also lying on the wall, he was not afraid at all, but was a little excited: "I want to go in and meet it!"
"You can't go anywhere, you have to save your life and go to jail. Dou Dachun despised him.
Xu Da's figure appeared, and he was carrying a child on his back.
Dou Dachun was stunned after seeing it clearly: "Hey, why is the nephew of the seventh master here? This kid can also catch ghosts? He is so talented, I thought he was a rice bucket." ”
Heidou asked in a daze: "Uncle, what are you asking me to do?" My mother said that I can't go out when it's dark at night, and I'll bump into ghosts. ”
Wang Qilin said with a pleasant face: "Uncle will take you to play a game of hide and seek tonight, come, cover your eyes first, you are not allowed to pull off this cloth, otherwise you will not be able to go to Aunt Suisui's house in the future, you can only stay in the post house to study." ”
Black Bean said categorically: "I won't drag it down if I die!"
This ghost's request can indeed be done for the six scholars: bring Wang Qilin's nephew Black Bean to me!
The scholars understand people, what does this ghost want black beans to do?
Its target is Wang Qilin!
How dare the scholars help it? If they do it, it will be a crime of murdering an official of the imperial court! It is a great crime of the three clans!
And they have also heard of Wang Qilin's murderous name, this big seal is cruel and vicious, and in order to make a big seal, he even personally promoted his old boss, this kind of person is very disdainful of their scholars, but they are also very afraid, and they don't dare to provoke him at all.
When Black Bean entered the door, Wang Qilin took out the second piece of paper and threw it at the ghost and said, "I brought the people, you let go of their souls." ”
The deal is done!
The crossed arms are withdrawn, and the yin lock is cracked!
Xie Toad took out a few talismans in his hand and threw them out, and said: "Between the heads of the three Qings, the ghosts and gods are on both sides, and the souls of thousands of miles are there, and they are in a hurry!
The talisman flew above the heads of the scholars' ghosts and burned, and they each found their bodies and quickly returned to their places.
The ghost's figure was even faster, and one dodged to Black Bean, waving his claws to grab the top of his head.
Eight meows flicked their tails from behind the black beans, and the fat tail flew out, and the black hairs on it stood like steel needles, and flew towards the ghost at once.
At the same time, Jiuliu, who was holding Black Bean in his arms, poked his head out, opened his mouth and tried to roar: "Six-six-six!
The tengu screamed head-on, and it was clear that there was nothing, but the ghost's body trembled as if it had been beaten with a hammer, and then retreated again and again.
Wang Qilin rushed up with an arrow step, grabbed the collar of the black bean and threw him back, Xu Da caught him and immediately withdrew from the old mansion.
Xie Toad said sharply: "I'm here to help you!"
"Amitabha, the monk is coming!" There was a sound on the roof, and Shen Yi waved his wand and came to a flying immortal outside the sky.
Dou Dachun, who was on the wall, danced excitedly, and shouted: "Wonderful! I understand, this is black eating black!"
