"Isn't there anything heavy under the water to drag?" Shen Luo asked with a deep groan.

"There's no heavy stuff to drag on, there's no water and grass to hang on, there's nothing. It is precisely because it is a little unusual, and the city has not been peaceful recently, so there are all kinds of rumors and rumors, and now the plumbing pavilion is about to be regarded as a haunted house, and business is also plummeting. Bai Xiaotian shook his head and said.

Since the beginning, the Bai family has not paid much attention to this, after all, this Qinhuai River is already a place of right and wrong, and every year there are people who fall into the water, drunk and fall into the river, frustrated into the water, and those who are martyred.

Even if the matter is in one's own house, it is often spent some silver to clean up the government, and then send a guest Taoist priest to do a dharma, no matter whether there is evil or not, as long as you make an appearance and let the guests and the people see it, it is not difficult to suppress this matter.

But like this dumpling, drowning one after another, it is really a little unbearable, and it is now rumored that there are ghosts hidden in the plumbing pavilion, and the three people died unjustly, and the corpses were solidified by resentment, so they floated and did not leave.

"I'm just going to go out for a trip, so I'll go with you. Shen Luo said.

"That's just right. Bai Xiaotian's eyes lit up slightly, and there was finally a smile on his face.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, they heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then they saw the girl with green sleeves, who ran in in a hurry, and shouted in her mouth:

"No...... Oh no, young master, it's not good......"

When Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian heard this, they glanced at each other, and a trace of gloom flashed on their faces.

"What's going on, you speak slowly. Bai Xiaotian asked in a deep voice.

"The high shopkeeper of the silk shop in the west of the city went to the plumbing pavilion last night to find a good water kite girl, but in the morning it was found that she was floating in the river, and the three places in front were the same. Greensleeves turned pale and gasped.

Bai Xiaotian sighed secretly, walked towards the gate of the front yard without saying a word, Shen Luo touched his nose and followed.

"Young master, the car is ready, waiting outside the door......" Green Sleeves hurriedly chased out a few steps and shouted on tiptoe.

......

The carriage had limited speed in the city, and it took a quarter of an hour to reach the plumbing pavilion.

Shen Luo got down from the carriage and looked up, there was a vermilion gatehouse three or four zhang high standing in front of him, with carved beams and paintings on it, depicting a hundred birds and a phoenix and a hundred flowers competing for spring and other rich scenes.

Entering through the doorway, just a few steps away, is a three-storey grand pavilion, each floor of the attic has glazed tiles made of ridged cornices, and below are hung vermilion lanterns, bright colors.

Inside the attic, there is a golden hall, with a huge screen of 12 folds in the center, a stage built with a white jade fence, and a wooden ladder leading to the second floor on the left and right.

On weekdays, the plumbing pavilion is full of guests, but today it is deserted, and there are not even a few people, only a middle-aged woman in purple brocade is reprimanding a few handymen in a low voice, so that they can't talk too much, and talk about the plumbing pavilion with outsiders.

Seeing Bai Xiaotian and the two coming in, the woman immediately lost her sadness, greeted them, and owed them a debt.

Shen Luo took a look and saw that his posture was good, his figure was exquisite, but the corners of his eyes could not hide the fine lines that could not be hidden by fat loss powder, and then he looked at his manners and demeanor, and knew that he should be the old mother here.

"Eldest Prince, you can be regarded as here. The middle-aged woman found the main heart bone, and as she spoke, she tore off the handkerchief around her waist and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Mama Feng, where is the corpse?" Bai Xiaotian asked directly.

"On the backyard waterfront, I didn't let it into the house, the official servant had already checked and left, and the chief of Baishui was over there at this time. Mother Feng didn't dare to say more, and said simply.

Bai Xiaotian didn't say a word, and walked behind the screen.

Shen Luo also bypassed the screen and walked out through a coupon gate at the back.

The plumbing pavilion is built next to the Qinhuai River, and the backyard is a small pillow water wharf, and there are also flower boats moored in the past for benefactors to take Qingxuan women and their relatives on the river.

And now, by the river, there is only the body of an obese man dressed in the clothes of the outside, lying quietly in the shadow of the attic, and next to him stands a thin old man with high cheekbones, slightly inverted cheeks, and a gray and white robe.

On the river not far from this side, there is a three-hole stone arch bridge across it, and under the guardrail in the middle of the bridge body, three big characters of "Zhenhuai Bridge" are engraved.

On one side of the bridge, there is a town river water beast that resembles a one-horned rhinoceros, there is a stone seat embedded at the bottom, the whole is only one person high, after the baptism of the years, the bottom is full of moss, and there are mottled traces everywhere.

Around the water beast, along with the entire bridge, there were many people in the city, all with curious and frightened, disgusted and somewhat inexplicable excited expressions on their faces, pointing and whispering to this side.

Shen Luo looked at the man's body, and saw that his body had already been soaked and swollen, and the exposed skin showed a blue and white color.

"I've seen real people. Bai Xiaotian walked closer, saluted the thin old man, and bowed respectfully.

Shen Luo also hugged his fists.

"Eldest Prince, you're here. Lao Dao's brows twisted into pimples, and he returned the salute to the two.

"What's going on now?" Bai Xiaotian asked.

"Like the previous people, after reading it, they said that they were all drowned, and the poor road couldn't find anything wrong. Bai Shuidao sighed and said.

"Can a real person know when he died?" Bai Xiaotian asked.

"It was probably ugly time last night...... It's a shame to say that Poor Dao has actually been stationed in the pavilion, but he didn't notice it at all, and it was the miscellaneous servants who first discovered his body in the morning. Said the head of the White Water Minister.

"Does the kite girl know when he left?" Bai Xiaotian turned to Feng Ma again and asked.

Alas, she was so frightened that she only said that she had slept so hard last night that she did not know when she had left. At the moment, he didn't even dare to stay in the plumbing pavilion, so he went elsewhere to rest. Feng Ma sighed and said.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaotian was silent for a moment, then took out a yellow paper talisman from his sleeve, walked to the corpse, and leaned over to stick it in the middle of his eyebrows.

I only heard a soft sound of "poof", and a wisp of fire ignited on the rune paper, soared suddenly, and then slowly burned.

"Yin Evil Qi Charm!" said Bai Shuidao's eyes.

When Shen Luo heard this, he also focused his eyes on the rune paper.

He had also heard of this kind of talisman, which could use the talisman fire to draw out the hidden evil aura when burning.

If this high shopkeeper is really harmed by the yin evil ghosts, most of the yin and evil qi will be left in the body, and now the talisman fire is lit in the Yin Hall, and there should be yin qi flowing out of the seven orifices.
