Now it can be concluded that Zhang Ruyan has a problem, and Li Ying also has a problem.

Li Ying has something to hide from herself, which Wang Qilin knows very well.

But people wouldn't say it, and he couldn't help it.

There was a chair in front of the desk, he sat down slowly, and looked at the desk like Zhang Ruhui and fell into thought: If I were him, what would I do sitting here?

Reading? The book was not opened.

There is no ink on the inkstone.

Thinking about life? The officials are obsessed with power, they think about a fart!

After thinking about it, Wang Qilin had only one thought left:

"Zhang Ruhui is sitting here, is he sleeping on the table?"

Hearing this, Dou Dachun, Yang Dazui and the others all laughed.

Wang Qilin was displeased and warned them: "Don't laugh blindly, you can mention it to me if you have ideas, don't pretend to compare with me." You think this might be funny, don't you? But let me tell you a word, it's a famous quote from a crime-solving grandmaster—"

"All the impossibilities are ruled out, and the rest, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth!"

Dou Dachun nodded and said: "What the Seventh Master said makes sense, you see, this Zhang Ruhui has never gone to bed, but he has to sleep, right? So where does he sleep? Could it be that he just sleeps in front of the desk?"

"Why do you want to sleep at your desk?" Xiao Fourteen asked, "How uncomfortable is it to sleep on the desk?"

Dou Dachun said solemnly: "It's hard to talk about this truth, but I can give you an example, in the past, my father sent me to a private school, and I liked to sleep on the desk, so maybe Zhang Ruhui also has this hobby?"

Wang Qilin said: "The main problem is that there is no other possibility besides this possibility. ”

Yang pouted: "Lord Wang, in fact, there are other possibilities, such as maybe he doesn't have to sleep?"

Dou Dachun said to him: "What do you mean by this? Raise the bar? Very good, since you are so good at lifting the bar, then you will be able to lift the bar chair during the Lantern Festival next year." ”

Banging officials is a temple fair activity of the local Lantern Festival, when some strong men will raise a large lever, a chair is placed at one end of the lever, and an ugly official wearing a red robe and a gauze wing hat will sit on the chair and raise some controversial topics for the big guys to refute and amuse.

The biggest fun of this activity is to quarrel with each other, the big guy is bickering for the sake of saying witty things, so he won't get angry, as long as he can pick up the topic, no matter how he raises the bar, of course, he can't scold his mother.

It is precisely for this reason that the ugly official who presides over the event is also called the bar official, and his chair is also called the bar chair.

Wang Qilin raised his arm and said: "Lord Dou is angry, what Lord Yang said may not be impossible, if this chapter is a ghost or a demon......"

The officials gasped.

Shopkeeper Mo panicked.

Wang Qilin released the eight meows, if there was yin or demonic energy in the house, it would definitely be able to detect it.

Eight Meow was being dragged out of her sleep, it had the air to get up, and after being put down, she stepped on a book and opened her mouth to make a whining sound.

It is learning to stand on a rock and roar in the mountains and forests.

Wang Qilin said: "Don't scream, cub, go find yin qi for your father, you see so many people here, you have to behave well." ”

Eight Meow looked up at the group of onlookers, turned around, and a tiger turned over and kicked open the window, and ran.

The officials were dumbfounded: "Seventh Master, is your cat still afraid of people?"

"Why are you so shy? You should let Xu Ye take it for a while, Xu Ye is so shameless. ”

Wang Qilin felt very strange, how could Eight Meow run out? It wouldn't be so angry when it got up, right?

He reached out and pressed the window and jumped out, and Hachimeow had already run away without a trace, but left a small pompom-like tail to bounce on the ground.

This is the Belt and Road Party.

Little Furball took them to the first floor and then to the backyard.

Tongfu Inn is worthy of being the first inn in Jixiang County, the scale is huge, the main corridor on the first floor is more than 100 steps, divided into two large areas, there is a patio in the north and south as the center, there is a small pavilion around the corridor, this is the box of the New Han Dynasty.

At this time, some box doors opened, and girls with heavy makeup came out of them, all of whom were brought out from the Qinglou last night to pack the night.

When the girls saw them, they greeted: "Yo, Uncle Dou, long time no see." ”

"Uncle Dou, people want to kill you. ”

"Uncle Yang, you have no heart, have you been deceived by a cheap girl recently? ”

"Who is this uncle? so handsome, uncle, you go with your sister, and your sister spends money to support you." ”

"Roll on, this is Wang Dayin who listens to the heavenly eunuch, how can you touch it?" Dou Dachun waved his hand impatiently.

Wang Qilin chased into the backyard, where there was still a guest room, and Eight Meow was wandering around at the door of a room at the end.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper Mo was a little panicked, he hurriedly went up to drive away the eight meows, Wang Qilin said in a deep voice: "What is the shopkeeper Mo going to do?"

Dou Dachun and the others were all human spirits, and when they saw this, they immediately turned into tiger wolves: "Old Mo, what do you mean?"

"Come to the back, you dare to touch Meow, be careful that Lao Tzu's fist does not recognize people!"

Wang Qilin walked over quickly, stretched out his hand to push the door, but the door was locked from the inside.

The shopkeeper Mo wiped his sweat and said in a panic: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't open this door, the grass people tell the truth, this house is indeed haunted, but as long as the door is sealed, it will be fine, this ghost is only making trouble in this room, it doesn't come out......"

"Haunted?" Wang Qilin looked at him coldly and asked, "When others find out that their home is haunted, they can't wait to rush to Tingtianjian to cry as soon as possible, why don't you tell me that Tingtianjian is haunted in your inn?"

Shopkeeper Mo swallowed his saliva and said: "My lord knows that the inn is open and doing business depends on smooth sailing, and what you do is a reputation ......"

"Are you afraid that the reputation of the haunting will spread and no one will come to stay again?"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Wang Qilin looked at him playfully with the demon knife and said, "Then aren't you afraid that this ghost will harm people? When the time comes, you will make a big fuss, and your inn is afraid that it will go out of business." ”

Shopkeeper Mo said with a smile: "The villain understands, the villain understands, but the ghosts in this room don't go out, so as long as this room is sealed, it's fine." ”

"How do you know that this ghost won't come out?" Wang Qilin then asked, "Don't tell me that this ghost didn't come out before, and you think it won't come out in the future." ”

Shopkeeper Mo was stunned and was speechless for a moment.

Wang Qilin said with a smile: "Let me help you answer, you know the identity of this ghost before his death, and even know how it died, let me guess again, is your inn a fortune ghost?"

The ghost of fortune is a kind of transfer ghost, and if you raise it, you can bless the lord's business to prosper and make a fortune.

Shopkeeper Mo's face changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't dare, Lord Wang, you know clearly, how dare villains raise ghosts? This is a big crime of killing heads!"

"Then don't you have to kill this ghost if you raise this ghost?" Wang Qilin pointed to the house.

Dou Dachun said in a rough voice: "Seventh Master, what are we doing here with such a tongue and tongue?

"No, Lord Dou, you can't open this door. "The shopkeeper of Mo hurriedly persuaded.

Yang Dazui pushed him away, and raised his foot and kicked him like Xu Da.

Hearing only a muffled sound of 'bang', Yang squatted down with his big mouth covering his ankles and crooked his mouth, squatting on the ground and gasping hard.

"Broken feet?" Dou Dachun was angry, "You kicked a door and ended up breaking your feet?" Usually three blows and six whistles say that you have achieved great success in the thirteenth Taibao horizontal practice, cutting a line with a knife and stabbing a point with a gun, but now you can kick a door?"

"What kind of knife splits a line and stabs a point?" Xu Da's voice sounded from the gate of the courtyard, and he came in with a bun in his left hand and a bun in his right hand.

When Wang Qilin saw him, he said, "It's a coincidence that you came, just in time I want to open this door." ”

Xu Da yawned and said, "What does it have to do with a knife to split a line and a gun to stab a point when opening the door?"

Yang Dazui said: "No, the knife splits a line and the spear stabs a point is my family's divine skill, that is, the thirteen Taibao horizontal practice, after practice, the knife splits only one line on the body, and the spear stabs on the body is also a point." ”

Xu Da asked: "The effect of your family's divine skills is too vague, what kind of knife is used to split a line? Wood chopping knife or Qinglong Yanyue knife? A spear stabs a point, is it standing in front of you and stabbing a shot or riding a horse in a sprint?"

Yang was stunned.

Wang Qilin said impatiently: "Don't talk about these things that are gone, come and kick this door open for me." ”

Xu Da handed the bun to Yang Dazui and said, "Take it for the uncle, look at the uncle's mine!"

Shopkeeper Mo shouted: "The adults ask me for a word, this door really can't be opened......"

"There is no door in the yang world that I can't open with one foot, if there is, then two feet!" Xu Daxin was ruthless and kicked it up.

This kick was ruthless enough, the door panel was motionless, but his whole person was collapsed by the anti-shock force!

Everyone was stunned, and Shopkeeper Mo stomped his feet anxiously and said: "Alas, my lords, listen to the villain, this door really can't be opened, there is a wall behind it, and I have sealed it with a wall!"

As soon as he heard this, Xu Da went up and grabbed the door panel and removed it, and it was indeed a wall made of blue bricks and stones.

Dou Dachun sneered and said: "I said, how can a big mouth not kick a door open after practicing horizontal kung fu?"

Xiao Fourteen said: "Yes, I'm also strange, I thought the two heads were deficient in their kidneys." ”

Yang covered his ankles and shouted, "Why did you seal the gate with a blue brick wall? Isn't this sick?"

Wang Qilin said indifferently: "Yes, why is a good door blocked with green bricks? Are you afraid that the things inside will come out?"

He went up and touched the green bricks, which had rune lines on them.

What the hell is going on in there.

He nodded, and Xu Da spat into the palm of his hand, brandishing his mace and smashing it.

Shopkeeper Mo suddenly became depressed: "It's over." ”

Xu Da demolished the wall, Wang Qilin went to find the guy at the inn, and he found one of them who looked stunned and asked, "What's your name?"

"Back to my lord, the villain's name is Wang Xiaoer. The young man smiled innocently.

Wang Qilin asked: "Okay, Wang Xiaoer, the official's name is Wang Qilin, we were a family five hundred years ago, and the family didn't speak two words, so let me ask you one thing and you answer truthfully, is there anything strange about this inn?"

Wang Xiaoer scratched his head and said, "The inn is not, right? ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Qilin asked, staring at him.

Wang Xiaoer sneered and said, "Big brother of this family, I have been poor for so many years, isn't this a bit weird?"

Wang Qilin waved his hand and told him to get out.

His brother is not very clever.

Xu Da crackled and smashed a pile of masonry, the smoke and dust were filled, and a strong wind whistled out.

It's weird, the dust floating in the doorway is not blown off!

Dou Dachun and his entourage shuddered and retreated again and again: ", yin wind!"

Wang Qilin walked over quickly, and the corners of his eyes jumped violently.

The doors and windows of the house were blocked by masonry, and only a ray of sunlight shone through the newly opened hole, and it was in a trance, and it could not fully illuminate the house.

The dim light dimly lit the room, illuminating the scene inside.

There was no furniture in the house, but there were many corpses!

Bodies hanging from beams, bodies curled up on the ground, broken corpses, charred corpses, a dozen corpses!

Wang Qilin has been in the Heavenly Prison for a while, and he has also seen big scenes such as Hundred Ghosts Crying in the Sky and Turtle Foot Eup, but today is the first time he has seen this scene.

So many corpses!

Xu Da was about to come over to take a look, but Wang Qilin grabbed him by the collar and dragged him over, saying, "Block the door." ”

He pulled the shopkeeper over again and said, "Come and see." ”

Shopkeeper Mo subconsciously looked in, and then screamed and retreated violently, there were steps at the door of the house, he did not stand firm in the retreat, stepped on the air and fell to the ground, and then got up and continued to run out.

Dou Dachun hurriedly stepped up and held him down, he dragged him back and asked, "Seventh Master, what's wrong?"

Wang Qilin said: "Be mentally prepared, your yamen has a case." ”

Dou Dachun and the others leaned over to take a look, and after reading it, their faces were gloomy, like mourning.

Shopkeeper Mo's legs fell to the ground weakly, and he kowtowed and shouted: "My lord spare my life, my lord will see it! I don't know, I really don't know! Impossible, how can this be? How can this be? This house is obviously sealed, please let the master suppress the ghosts in the house!"

Wang Qilin squatted in front of him and asked, "Tell me everything you know." ”

Shopkeeper Mo raised his head and said in a panic: "Lord Wang, the house is indeed haunted, this house used to be my bedroom with my wife, but my lady is jealous, I later married a small room, and she committed suicide!"

"After she committed suicide, the house was haunted, and there were always men who said they saw my lady's ghost wandering inside. ”

"Afraid, I found a master of the Xuanmen to see, the master said that my lady died of grievances, she didn't know what means to avoid the difference, stayed in the house and became a ghost, this ghost is not easy to deal with, can only find a monk to exceed, but the way to exceed is to recite the seven-day "Mantra of Death". ”

"But the monks are not easy to find, and not a group of monks, this group of monks in my inn for seven days, how will I do business in the future? So I used another method given by the master, that is, to use bricks and stones to block the doors and windows, and shut it inside. ”

"Lord Wang, you know that this house was sealed fifteen years ago, and some of the guys at that time are still working in my inn, you can ask them, it was okay at that time, there were no dead people in it at that time!"

"Everything has been normal for fifteen years, and there hasn't been any trouble!" said by the end, he was about to cry.

Such an inn run by two generations is afraid that it will be destroyed in his hands, so how can he go to see his father and ancestors under Jiuquan after his death?

Before his father died, he grabbed his hand and said that he would make a last wish, that is, to make this Tongfu Inn a century-old store.

Now the hundred-year-old store is gone, but there is a ten-year yin store.

Wang Qilin wanted to ask again, but Xu Da beckoned to him: "Seventh Master, come and see, it's weird." ”

"What's weird?"

"Look at the people inside, this death is too weird, isn't it?"

Wang Qilin looked fixedly, someone hanged himself, this is normal.

The corpses of some people were broken into several pieces, but the pieces were thrown together, and the wounds did not look like they had been chopped with a sharp blade, but more like they had been smashed with hammers and stones, and the flesh and blood were blurred in many places.

This is very strange, but what is even more strange is that there are people with complete corpses, but there are a lot of hay wrapped around their bodies, Xu Da said in a low voice: "I look like dry bitter grass." ”

Bitter grass is also called noodle grass, flat grass, some countryside in Jixiang County also call it water leek, this is a kind of aquatic weed, very dangerous, often people drown in the river pond, is entangled by this aquatic weed, hands and feet can not swim up.

Wang Qilin also felt strange and said, "These people die differently, right?"

"Yes, fourteen people, fourteen ways to die! And some of them were burned, how could people be burned in this house? There was no sign of burning. "Xu Dadao.

Dou Dachun analyzed: "Could it be that someone threw the corpse here? This is a corpse dumping place?"

Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "How can you throw the corpse? The doors and windows are closed, there are no loopholes in the roof, and there are no tunnels on the ground. ”

Dou Dachun said: "How did that person get in? The corpse can't get in, and the person can't get in, right?"

Wang Qilin thought for a while and said, "Fourteen corpses, fourteen corpses ......"

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he walked to the shopkeeper Mo and asked, "Shopkeeper, what day is your wife's anniversary?"

Shopkeeper Mo said: "The tenth day of the seventh month!"

Wang Qilin nodded slowly.

It has been 14 years since the death of the Mo family's lady, will this have anything to do with the 14 corpses?

He asked again: "There are fourteen corpses in the house, these are fourteen people, have there been inexplicably fewer people in the inn in the past ten years?"

The shopkeeper stopped talking.

Wang Qilin poked the demon knife to the ground, and said with a calm face: "When is it, and you dare to hide it from me?"

Shopkeeper Mo smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, it's not that the villain wants to hide it from you, you also know that you can stand in this place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and there are often people who say goodbye without saying goodbye, so even if there are fewer people in the inn, we are not clearly aware of it." ”

This is not a prevarication, at the beginning of the founding of the New Han Dynasty, pedestrians stayed in sharp spots to seize the tooth tag that recorded their identity.

Later, the days were peaceful, and this rule gradually dissolved, as long as you registered, so some people said to leave, and the inn couldn't care.

Wang Qilin asked Xu Da to cover the open opening with raw cowhide, and then he took the shopkeeper away and arranged for the official to watch the Tongfu Inn.

No entry but no exit!

He originally wanted to investigate Zhang Ruhui, but there was no news from Zhang Ruhui's side, but he found another big case.

The two cases were concurrent, which gave him a headache.

What's even more troublesome is that in the afternoon, he was checking the missing persons in Jixiang County in the yamen over the years, and Dou Dachun suddenly walked in in a hurry, his face anxious.

"Is there bad news?" Wang Qilin sighed.

Dou Dachun said: "No, there is no bad news. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "What's the matter?"

"There's bad news," Dou Dachun sneered, "The person I sent to the mansion to inquire about the news has returned, and the mansion and even the imperial court really did not order the dismissal of Li Ying and put him in prison, Zhang Ruhui is messing around!"

"In addition, Zhang Ruhui, who came to our county, does have a problem, and the government is also looking for him, and he suddenly disappeared!"
