The wine glass was placed under the bed, and the lower half of the face was slowly revealed.

Why is it the lower half of the face?

Because of the exposed part, only two of his nostrils, a mouth, and a chin can be seen.

The man pursed his lips, trying to get his hands on the wine.

But just as his lips were about to touch the edge of the wine glass, Liu Ruiying withdrew the wine glass a little.

The man poked his head out again.

In this way, whenever he was about to drink, Liu Ruiying would move the wine glass back.

Suddenly, the man stretched out his two hands, grabbed the wine glass, and drank it in one gulp.

"I drove away a pervert in front, but I didn't expect another drunkard to come. Could it be that I'm so unlucky? I'm born to attract ghosts?"

Liu Ruiying said.

He waved his hand and asked the people in the station building of the Investigation Division of Nayang Wen Town to go to the next door to rest.

After the gentleman under the bed drank a glass of wine, he kicked his feet and slipped out.

"I'm not a ghost, and you're not a ghost!"

The man stood up and spoke.

Patted the dust off his body.

"Who are you?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

Judging from his dress, it is indeed indistinguishable.

Neither like the beggars at the gate of the shack area, nor like the hard labor in the mines here.

Is it also an outsider?

"You don't know me, but I know you! Your name is Liu Ruiying, the provincial flag of the Central Capital Investigation Division. ”

The man said.

"It seems that you do know me, so can I get to know you too?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"My name is Little Ghost. ”

The man said.

"You look like you're hiding under your bed, but you're not clever at all. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"No, that's a deliberate noise. If I want, you won't find out even if I'm lying under your bed for ten years, can you believe it?"

The little ghost asked rhetorically.

"I don't believe it. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"That boss lady is so straightforward, but you can still sit still, admire!"

Little Clever said.

Liu Ruiying's face changed suddenly.

No one knows about it.

Although Hua Nong heard the noise before, he did not enter the door.

The windows were open, but nothing came in except the wind and the moonlight.

How did the little ghost know about this?

Unless moonshine can talk.

Be able to tell others what you see.

But this is absolutely impossible.

The moon is the moon, and the moonlight is like a layer of hoarfrost.

How can these two things speak?

Then there is only one possibility.

It's this little clever who has been hiding under his bed.

From before Liu Ruiying walked into this room, the little ghost was already there.

That's why he knew everything that had happened before.

Thinking of this, Liu Ruiying couldn't help but feel a chill in her back......

If this little ghost is also an assassin.

Wouldn't he be able to pierce his heart with a sword from a bed?

Thankfully, he wasn't an assassin.

He's just a little clever.

Although Liu Ruiying said that he didn't know him, he had heard the words "little clever".

Even if he is a little clever, he is not a small surname, and he is not young, let alone a clever.

Although the little ghost is not surnamed Xiao, he is surnamed Xiao.

A smile that is always open.

And his name is indeed very joyful.

It's called Often.

Laughter always comes.

It seems that his parents really want their son to have more joy and laughter in the days when he can live.

Laughter always comes.

They laughed at their families, and they were big men in the imperial period.

Like his grandfather, who had an official position at the age of seventeen.

Later, he rose to the top and was able to serve the emperor.

But this companion is like a tiger.

If you are not careful, you will be full of disaster.

The grandfather who came to laugh often annoyed the emperor because he was too amorous and noble.

was demoted except for the emperor, but even the family suffered.

However, compared to those who are still officials in the dynasty, the laughing family is indeed extremely lucky.

Because the grandfather who laughed often came was demoted for two years, the dynasty was destroyed.

In its place, the five kings ruled together.

Those lackeys of the dynasty are naturally scattered.

Those who flee flee, those who die die.

Only smile often comes to the family, but it is a stable life of its own.

Although he has been degraded, his family property is still there.

This is the truth that a dead camel is bigger than a horse.

When Xiao Changlai was a child, he was also a child who read poetry and books.

At the age of six, you can write "on the gold list." Occasionally, the dragon's head is missing. Such words.

However, when he heard about the fall of the imperial dynasty, he burned all the poems and manuscripts.

After all, the dynasty has fallen, and the dragon's head has been cut off.

Where's the Gold List?

The laughing family was passed down to his generation, but there was only one child.

When both parents are gone.

Xiao Changlai is very filial Ding worrying for three years.

Then he sold all his ancestral property, and with a thick wad of silver tickets, no one knew where he went.

But the three words of little wit have gradually entered the ears of people who have been walking around the five kings and wandering among the rivers and lakes all year round

Because the little ghost knows everything.

Many legends have been written by storytellers, but in fact, the little ghost is the original here. Although the little ghost is very rich, he has never spent a penny of himself since he became famous.

Because of his own name, the three words of this little clever are worth ten thousand taels of gold.

Anyone who hears this name must invite him to a glass of wine and a feast on the table.

Not for anything else, just to hear him tell that untold story.

Up to the King of Pingnan and his concubine what awkwardness, down to the rivers and lakes which two masters made a life and death contract with each other.

But the little wives know it.

Even the proprietress just got into Liu Ruiying's bed, he knew it.

"You know so many unbelievable and even unethical things, and you can drink so calmly, I have to admire!"

Liu Ruiying said.

The little ghost waved his hand.

It means that none of that is enough.

But he sat down opposite Liu Ruiying very skillfully, picked up the wine jug and prepared to pour himself wine.

I held it under the bed for several hours.

At the moment, he was hungry and thirsty.

I just want to drink a few glasses to moisten my throat, and by the way, I also go to the heart.

The previous seduction of Liu Ruiying by the proprietress also led to a certain idea of the little clever.

It's just that there is nowhere to vent at the moment, so I drink two more glasses, which can be regarded as borrowing wine to kill my sorrows.

Unexpectedly, his hand had just grasped the flask.

Liu Ruiying held the wine jug firmly.

"This is the wine I paid for, and that glass I invited you. If you still want to drink, you should pay for it yourself. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

But he used the method of the proprietress and said nothing about money.

The little ghost was stunned.

It's been a long time since he'd spent his own money on a drink, but he doesn't even remember it.

And he really didn't expect that Liu Ruiying wouldn't give him wine to drink, and asked him to buy it himself.

Isn't Liu Ruiying curious about what else she knows?

Doesn't he want to ask himself why he's here?

In fact, Liu Ruiying didn't want to ask.

On the contrary, I want to know very much.

It's just that this little ghost actually came to his house to lurk, which means that he also wants to know something.

And this matter must be related to himself.

So Liu Ruiying didn't invite him to drink.

Because if you are invited, then you will be pinched by the other party.

Now, it's the same thing, but the two are equal.

"Do you really want me to pay for this wine?"

The little ghost asked, pointing to the flask.

"Really. Although I am not short of money now, if you want to drink my wine, you still have to pay. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"How much?"

The little ghost asked.

"Ten taels. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"Your pot of wine only cost one tael of silver, but you asked me for ten taels!

The little ghost asked.

"One tael is the money for drinking, one or two is the money for drinking in my house, and the other eight taels is the money for drinking with me. ”

Liu Ruiying said.

"It turns out that you yourself are only worth eight taels of silver!"

When the little wit heard this, he immediately laughed.

happily took out a silver ingot of ten taels of silver and slapped it on the table.

"It's not that I'm only worth eight taels of silver, but out of ten taels of silver, I have eight taels to myself. ”

Liu Ruiying took the silver ingot and said.

A small clever smile stiffened on his face.

This must be one of the least clever moments of life.

Liu Ruiying said that he accounted for eight taels out of ten.

If it's one hundred taels, isn't it eighty taels?

One thousand taels, isn't that eight hundred taels?

Regardless of the advantages and disadvantages of the market, he Liu Ruiying has to account for eighty percent.

It's a lot of money.

"Before I met you, I always thought you were a very kind person, why did such a joke make you change your face?"

Liu Ruiying said.

He let go of his hand and poured a glass of wine for the little ghost.

"I'm very kind? I'm the number one bag in the world. ”

Little Clever said.

"How do you know that you are the number one coward in the world?"

Liu Ruiying asked rhetorically.

"If you don't believe me, ask me. ”

The little ghost said as he drank his wine.

"When you make trouble on the street, don't let you drill your crotch, if you don't drill, I'll kill you, can you drill through?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Nope. ”

Little Clever said.

"Then you are in the stable, let your animals eat and sleep together, and break your legs when you come out, have you ever lived?"

Liu Ruiying asked again.

"No, there isn't. ”

Little Clever said.

"Then how dare you assert that you are the number one coward in the world? Obviously, you have never done any of these very towering things. ”

Liu Ruiying said with a smile.

"What you're saying is nothing. At least these people stabbed Lou Zi and dared to stand still. And what about me, I've long since run away!"

Little Clever said.

"Looks like you're fast?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Second fastest. ”

The elf said.

"Who's the first?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"I'm looking for it too, I'm waiting for the time being!"

Little Clever raised an eyebrow and said.

Liu Ruiying smiled.

He didn't expect this little clever to suddenly become humble.

But since there is no first, isn't this second the actual first?

In the end, there is still no modesty. "I've drunk the wine, so it's time to talk about it, right?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

The little ghost shook his head.

Drinking wine, he said vaguely:

"I haven't read the whole story yet, and I can't tell it now. ”

"Where did you start looking?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Since you left Leyouyuan and left Bogulou!"

Little Clever said.

Liu Ruiying carefully calculated the time and distance.

It seems that the silver was robbed, and the road met the moon flute, and then it was executed in Yangwen Town later, but this little ghost already knew it.

But along the way, Liu Ruiying didn't find any trace of him.

Why is he here?

"And I don't say it because the story has to happen naturally to be interesting! I'm just the most faithful recorder. ”

Little Clever said.

"But tonight you drank with the protagonist of the story. This is already against your principles, isn't it?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"Because somebody is going to die tonight, I don't know who. But you can't die as the main character, so I'm going to make some noise to remind you. ”

Little Clever said.

Liu Ruiying lowered his head and listened quietly.

As a result, the voice of this sentence became more and more ethereal.

When Liu Ruiying heard the last word, he looked up.

There is still a little ghost in front of you.

There is only one flask, one wine glass.

Look back at the window.

The moonlight is still there, and the wind and sand are still there.

Liu Ruiying has never seen such a swift and ethereal body.

This little clever man really deserves the name of the second in the world of escape.

However, he said that someone would die tonight, but Liu Ruiying couldn't sit still.

He took his sword and pushed open the door of the house next door to Hua Nong.

Hua Nong was awakened by the sound of the door being pushed.

When he turned over, the tip of the sword was already against Liu Ruiying's throat.

"Uncle Shi!"

After seeing the person who came, Hua Nong put away his sword.

The rest of the people waited for this to wake up slowly.

Seeing that everyone was safe, Liu Ruiying's heart was a little calmer.

But he suddenly remembered the man who listened to the proprietress and went to lie in the coffin because he was afraid of ghosts.

Now that he is not in the house, he must still be in the coffin.

Liu Ruiying took Hua Nong and hurriedly walked towards the coffin shop behind.

Pushing open the door, I saw a coffin with the lid lying horizontally.

Go up and take a look.

It was the previous officer of the Yangwen Town Investigation Division who was afraid of ghosts.

But at this moment, he no longer has to be afraid of ghosts.

Because they have really become the same kind as ghosts.

He's dead.

At the center of his eyebrows is a severed steel knife.

The face is serene.

was actually killed by someone stabbing through the brain in his sleep.

Liu Ruiying pulled out the knife.

Brought out a lot of yellow and white things and blood.

Hua Nong took the knife and wiped it slightly, only to find that it was a short knife with no blade.

If a knife is not sharpened, will it be like a brick?

What kind of person would kill with a knife that does not cut its edge?

Moreover, the blade and handle of this knife are cast in one piece.

But it is very much like the craftsmanship of the grassland.

On the grassland, the casting process is relatively backward.

They couldn't make swords as elaborate as the Five Great Realms.

Usually, a whole piece of iron is used, turned into molten iron, and then poured with a mold.

Could it be that Jing Yao has arrived?

Liu Ruiying thought to herself.

But how could the knife of the steppe people not be sharpened?

Wine in your hand, a knife in your waist.

The wolf ride under the crotch, the eagle overhead.

These are the four things that they are most proud of the steppe people.

If it is said that a grassland man carries a knife without a blade to swagger through the market, I am afraid that he will be laughed to death.

But if this matter was not done by Jing Yao and his party, who would it be?

The little ghost may know the answer, but he's gone.

Melt into the vast moonlight.

"You put away this knife first, and go and call the proprietress here. ”

Liu Ruiying instructed Hua Nong.

"Where's the hostess?"

Hua Nong didn't take two steps, turned his head and asked.

"No, she's already here. ”

Liu Ruiying looked at the door and said.

The proprietress was already standing at the door of the coffin shop.

In the same posture as the first time she took Liu Ruiying to pick up the coffin, she leaned on the door frame.

Liu Ruiying quietly reminded Hua Nong to put away the knife first.

"The proprietress has another business to do!"

Liu Ruiying said.

"Buy a coffin or a cloth bag?"

The hostess was uncharacteristic.

Asked coldly.

"Is it possible that someone died here with you, but there is not even an explanation?"

Liu Ruiying asked.

"What's the explanation? The explanation for the murder? You can kill me. But then you'll have to spend another amount of money to buy a coffin to put me in. ”

The proprietress said.

After that, he turned and left.

Liu Ruiying stepped forward and grabbed the wrist of the proprietress to turn on the light.

"I can afford the money for the two coffins. But you're haunted here, and you've added a new one. As the proprietress of the hostess, you have to take a look at it first, at least you are familiar with it. In this way, if you see it in the middle of the night, you won't be too panicked!"

Liu Ruiying said.
