Huaguo Imperial Palace, the main hall of the early dynasty.

Tong Qing's doppelganger wore a crown on his head and a yellow robe, and sat majestically on the emperor's throne.

As the chief eunuch Lu Rover shouted: "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat!" I saw Prime Minister He Jitang hurriedly walked out and said: "Your Majesty, in the area of Lu'an Mansion, there is a new flower thief, which is very rampant, because when he commits crimes, he often watches three watches in the middle of the night, and also covers his face with a black scarf, so the locals call him a 'black-faced ghost' who can't see the light."

Whether he is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old yellow flower girl who has not yet left the cabinet, or a young ** who is about ten years old, or even a young woman in her early twenties who has married a husband, as long as she looks a little good, she will not let go of any of them. According to the newspaper, this ' The black-faced ghost's skills, very strong, come without a trace, go without a trace, after being harmed by him, the young (young) girls or young women, all of them are ravaged and destroyed sexual abuse, tortured to death and life, the body is incomplete, the pain is unbearable, they feel that they no longer have a face to see people, the sense of shame is doubled, the shame is unbearable, there is no place to be ashamed, there is no love, suicide, there are no less than 100 people, there are many good people because of the loss of their daughters or wives, and the clouds and misery, the family is broken, for a time, it actually made the Lu'an Mansion boundary family in danger, the people's hearts are panicked, the local officials and officials, many times received reports from the family of the bitter master, but there has been no way to take this villain, the pressure is great, for the sake of the community and the people's livelihood, helpless, the new governor of Lu'an Mansion Shan Xiongfeng, against public opinion, resolutely put this matter, 800 miles urgently, the original local play to the minister, let the minister report to the court, I hope that after the emperor learns, he can send a capable criminal investigation to Lu'an Mansion as soon as possible, and catch this flower thief 'black-faced ghost' as soon as possible, and return Lu'an Mansion to a place of peace, appease the people, so that the local people can see hope, public security and stability, live and work in peace and contentment!"

Hearing the report, Tong Qing's doppelganger was furious for a moment, "Oh, the 'black-faced ghost' lewd thief, so cowardly, arrogant, scourging his beloved, wantonly destroying the public security of Lu'an Mansion, Su Aiqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is there a suitable person to take on such a heavy responsibility? ”

"Emperor Qiqi, in the criminal department of the minister, there is such a unique arrester, his name is Liu Yunfei, and he is twenty-eight years old this year. Liu Yunfei was originally just an ordinary soldier from the army, but he was thoughtful, bold and careful, strong in martial arts, brave in battle, always able to strategize, take dangerous moves, surprise, win more with less, stand out, and was very respected by Lord Shen Lixing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and was exceptionally promoted by Lord Shen to become a qualified strategist in the battlefield.

Now, in the prosperous era of our dynasty and in the era of peace, Lord Shen didn't want to bury such a talent, so he recommended Liu Yunfei to the minister's criminal department, and asked him to be a quick arrest in the minister's criminal department to solve difficult cases.

Not long ago, he just came to work in the criminal department of the minister, and he had nothing to do, so he flipped through the backlog of several murder cases that had not been solved over the years, and it didn't take long for him to take the initiative to ask the minister for help, and he made a private visit to the microservice, and successfully solved ten difficult homicide cases that had been backlogged in the past years that had great influence in our dynasty, avenged the deceased, and arrested 15 extremely vicious murderers. Liu Shenzhuo's title, this title, Liu Yunfei deserves it. Therefore, the minister solemnly recommended to the emperor that this case-solving wizard Liu Yunfei can be up to this great task!" said Su Ningyun, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"Hahaha...... , Su Aiqing's recommendation coincides with me, Land Rover, go to the Criminal Department quickly, convey my will, and let the Criminal Department arrest Liu Yunfei and enter the palace immediately, without delay!"

"Obey!" After the chief eunuch Lu Hu received the order, he left the main hall in a hurry.

After a while, Land Rover turned around and entered the main hall, and said in a sharp voice: "Report to the emperor, the criminal department arrested Liu Yunfei quickly, he has been brought by the slaves, and now he is waiting outside the palace, waiting for the emperor's call!"

"Land Rover, hurry, hurry up and send Liu Yunfei to the palace!"

"The emperor has decreed that Liu Yunfei can go to the temple to face the saint if the criminal department arrests him quickly. ”

With the shout of the chief eunuch Lu Rover, from the outside of the main hall, a tall and mighty, sassy, heroic, and elegant young man dressed in the special official uniform of the court and government walked in.

"The Criminal Department arrests Liu Yunfei quickly, knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Flat!Liu Yunfei, there is a flower thief 'black-faced ghost' in Lu'an Mansion today, which has made the local people miserable and panicked, I hereby announce that you will enter the palace, give Shang Fang a sword one by one, and be named Qin Cha Catch Fast, with a hundred palace masters, immediately set off to Lu'an Mansion to assist the prefect of Lu'an Mansion Shan Xiongfeng, and at all costs, I successfully arrested the flower thief 'black-faced ghost', and returned the security of Lu'an Mansion to a peaceful place, so that the people of Lu'an Mansion can settle down and live and work in peace and contentment!"

"Obey!" Liu Yunfei of the Criminal Department quickly received the order to thank him, holding the sword of Shang Fang given by Tong Qing's doppelganger in his arms, he came out of the main hall, and after meeting with a hundred waiting martial arts masters in the palace, he dressed up as a caravan and quietly left the capital.

After Liu Yunfei placed a hundred palace masters, he came to the door of the prefect's office of Lu'an Mansion alone, holding the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor in his hand, revealing his identity, and was immediately warmly received by Shan Xiongfeng, the new prefect of Lu'an Mansion.

Entering the mansion, Liu Yunfei and Shan Xiongfeng had just exchanged a few words of greeting and entered their seats, and outside the lobby, the sound of drumming and shouting grievances sounded.

Governor Shan Xiongfeng said: "Lord Liu, I'm really sorry, the lower officials are busy with official business, and they need to go to the hall immediately!

"What is Lord Shan talking about, as a local official, the affairs of the people are greater than the sky, Lord Shan cares about the common people, it should be, I will accompany Lord Shan to ascend to the hall together!"

"Yes, Lord Liu, please!"

"Master Shan, please!"

......

"Come on, drummer to the hall!"

"The prefect has an order, and the drummer goes to the court!"

A well-mannered young man walked into the court.

"The grass people knock on the prefect!"

"Who is kneeling in the hall? and because of what?

"Back to the adult, the grass people's name is Chen Wenqing, 21 years old this year, from Chenjiazhuang on the outskirts of Fucheng, at midnight last night, the grass people's eighteen-year-old wife Tang Shi, was abducted from the bedroom by the 'black-faced ghost', so he beat the drum to report the case. ”

"What? Chen Wenqing, do you mean that your wife Tang was abducted from her bedroom by the flower thief 'black-faced ghost' at midnight last night?"

"Yes, sir!' The 'black-faced ghost' is ruthless, and he will find a way to save the life of the grass man's wife."

Prefect Shan Xiongfeng and Liu Yunfei glanced at each other and nodded.

"Chen Wenqing, you stand up, Fan Li (the little leader of the prefect's yamen), quickly take the twelve fast arresters in the palace, follow the lord and Lord Liu sent by the imperial court, and follow this person who came to report the case, Chen Wenqing, and go to the scene to take a look!"

"Yes, sir!"

On the way to walk, Chen Wenqing told the prefect Shan Xiongfeng and Liu about the plundering of his wife Tang last night. It was midnight, Chen Wenqing was sleeping in a daze, and suddenly heard movement around him. He was taken aback and tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it took all his strength to open the slightest slit. In the dark, Jin Wenqing saw his wife Tang being carried on the shoulders by a man in black, and swaggered out from the door. Chen Wenqing wanted to shout, but he had no strength in his body, so he could only watch Tang being taken captive. It wasn't until dawn that his body could not move, so he hurried to the government to report the case.

Divine Hunt Liu Yunfei frowned, thought for a while, and asked seemingly casually: "Chen Wenqing, your wife Tang Shi, when she was kidnapped by the lewd thief 'black-faced ghost', didn't she have any struggle or call?"

Chen Wenqing shook his head and said very simply: "No." When the grass people heard that the black-faced ghost committed a crime, they would often apply incense first, and Xiaomin's lady must have been fascinated by the incense. ”

Chen Wenqing and Tang live in a courtyard house. Liu Yunfei carefully investigated the bedroom where Tang had been kidnapped, and found a small hole in the window paper where the incense was cast, and also found a small clump of curled golden hair in the corner of the east wall.

Seeing this, Chen Wenqing hurriedly said: "Last night's strong wind, the window was blown open, I was weak, and I couldn't get up and close it, presumably this is how the hair came from." ”

Liu Yunfei nodded and continued to ask, "On the street near here, can there be a husband passing by at night?"

Without thinking, Chen Wenqing said, "Yes! I'll go find it." ”

After a while, Gengfu Lu Daliang, who was patrolling the night, was brought to Liu Yunfei.

"Lu Daliang, when you were on the shift last night, did you find anything unusual when you passed by here?" asked the prefect Shan Xiongfeng.

Gengfu Lu Daliang thought about it seriously, and replied with sincere fear: "Lord Qiqi, when the villain passed by this section of the road last night, he saw a black shadow that rolled out of the wall of this prime minister's courtyard and flashed quickly. The villain was deaf and dazzled, and thought he had seen it wrong, so he didn't report to the official. Alas, poor husband and wife, who love each other unparalleled, are now suffering from such a great calamity, my lord, you must be the master for them!"

After the husband stepped back, Liu Yunfei whispered in the ear of the prefect Shan Xiongfeng, and walked out of the door of the room alone, his eagle-like gaze carefully swept over the surrounding courtyard walls.

Suddenly, Liu Yunfei's eyes lit up, and he immediately performed light skills, jumped on the wall with a "poof", looked at the remaining mud marks, carefully inspected them, and then touched the tip of his nose with his fingers, and turned his head to Chen Wenqing, who was looking up at the wall, and asked, "Is there a peach forest around here?"

After thinking for a while, Jin Wenqing replied cautiously: "Yes, my lord, on the outskirts of the city five miles away from here, there is a big mountain, and there is a dilapidated mountain temple on the mountain, and there is a mountain peach forest around it. ”

Liu Yunfei jumped down the wall, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Great, Shan Governor, you wait here for a while, I'll come when I go." ”

When Liu Zhenyun followed Chen Wenqing's instructions and came to the vicinity of the dilapidated mountain temple on the mountain, he saw a large piece of mountain peach blossoms in front of him.

At this time, it was early summer, and the peach trees had just unfolded their green leaves, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of withered petals. Just now, Liu Yunfei found the petals of peach blossoms from the soil left by the soles of the shoes of the "black-faced ghost" when he climbed over the wall, so he speculated that the "black-faced ghost" must have been here, maybe this is still his lair.

Liu Yunfei pushed open the door of the mountain temple with a "squeak" sound, and found that the temple was empty, the ground was full of messy footprints, and there was a pile of burning charcoal in the middle.

Liu Yunfei couldn't help frowning: Judging from the footprints on the ground, it is obvious that there is more than one person who came here last night.

Suddenly, Liu Yunfei found a line of footprints that led straight to the back of the clay sculpture of the mountain god.

Liu Yunfei followed this footprint and looked for it, and saw a thick pile of hay on the back of the clay sculpture, and there were traces of people lying on it, and in the haystack, he accidentally found a hairpin on a woman's head.

Liu Yunfei took this hairpin in his hand, looked at it repeatedly, and thought in his heart: If this hairpin is left by the Tang family, it proves that the "black-faced ghost" came here after abducting the Tang family last night, but later, for what reason?

Liu Yunfei picked up the hairpin, walked out of the temple gate, and went straight to Zhen Wenqing's residence, looking for him to determine the owner of the hairpin.

Along the way, Liu Yunfei was figuring out the facts of the case, and unconsciously, he walked to the corner of an alley, and something crashed into his arms unexpectedly.

Liu Yunfei was taken aback, and jumped back suddenly, only to see that it was a rickety old woman with a thick face covering her face.

As soon as the old woman saw Liu Yunfei in an official uniform, her eyes were terrified, and she apologized again and again: "Official...... I'm really sorry, I'm dizzy ......."

Liu Yunfei smiled kindly, "Old man, don't worry, where are you going?"

The old woman said in a hoarse voice, "I used to live here, and I was going out to buy some rice. ”

Liu Zhenyun asked again: "The weather is hot, why do the old people wear face towels?"

The old woman looked at Liu Yunfei in embarrassment, sighed, and said: "The old man has been sick since he was a child, his face is ulcerated and scabbed, and the mask is really forced to do it." ”

Under Liu Yunfei's repeated requests, the old woman reluctantly unveiled the face towel and revealed her true face.

Liu Yunfei couldn't help frowning suddenly: this old woman's face was full of black scabs, one in the east and one in the west, covering the whole face, and in some places, pus was still flowing, emitting a fishy smell.

Liu Yunfei held back his nausea, took two steps back, and waved his hand at the old woman, "Offended, you old man let's go." ”

The old woman hurriedly agreed, continued to bent over, and walked away in one step.

Liu Yunfei went back to Chen Wenqing to confirm that the hairpin was indeed owned by the Tang family. Suddenly, a picture flashed in my mind: the old woman's shoes were stained with red mud, since she said that she had just come out of the house, where did the red mud come from on her shoes?

"Oh no!" Liu Yunfei exclaimed, jumped out of the house, and chased him all the way. Fortunately, the old woman hadn't walked out of the alley yet, and Liu Yunfei shouted: "Stop!"

The old woman trembled, and when she turned around, she saw Liu Yunfei chasing after her, as if she had seen a ghost, she straightened her waist suddenly, and ran out like a mad flyer, which looked like an old woman in her old age?

Liu Yunfei was taken aback and chased out. For a while, I could only hear the sound of the wind in my ears, and chased out of the city in one breath and into a bamboo forest. The "old woman" in front of her flickered and disappeared.

Behind Liu Yunfei's body, a terrible scream suddenly came, Liu Yunfei hurriedly looked back, it turned out to be Chen Wenqing!

At this time, Chen Wenqing fell to the ground, and a blood hole was poked open in his shoulder, and blood gushed out.

Liu Yunfei had no choice but to give up the pursuit, and while stopping Chen Wenqing's bleeding, he asked strangely, "Why did you follow?"

Liu Yunfei just performed a light skill that he had practiced hard, and he was as fast as the wind, Chen Wenqing was a weak scholar, how could he catch up?

Chen Wenqing covered his wound and said with a painful expression: "Lord Liu, my father not only taught me to read, but also taught me some kung fu, so I can barely keep up with ......."

Liu Yunfei asked again, "Then how did you get injured just now?"

Zhen Wenqing "hissed" in pain and inhaled the cool air, and said with difficulty: "There is a black shadow, which suddenly came out, and gave me a knife unexpectedly, I didn't ...... I didn't see what he looked like......"

Liu Yunfei secretly exclaimed: This "black-faced ghost" is so powerful!

Chen Wenqing said: "I just smelled the body of the murderer, there is a smell of sulfur! In this area, only in the cave hot springs in the north of the city, there is sulfur!"

After Liu Yunfei heard this, he followed Chen Wenqing and went straight to the cave in the north of the city. There was a pool of hot springs in the depths of the cave, and the shallow part of the cave was a flat land, and the entrance to the cave was extremely private, perfect for hiding.

Sure enough, as soon as I pushed away the weeds and walked into the cave, I saw that Tang was tied to a big stone with a rag stuffed in his mouth.

Chen Wenqing screamed, rushed up to untie the rope, and took off the rags in her mouth, Tang cried out with a "wow" and threw himself into Zhen Wenqing's arms.

Suddenly, Tang pointed to the entrance of the cave in horror, "It's him! Chase after him, don't let him run!"

Liu Yunfei turned his head to look, only to see a black shadow, ghostly flashing through the entrance of the cave. In a hurry, Liu Yunfei shouted and quickly rushed out of the hole.

The man in black fled quickly, coupled with the darkness of the sky, the human figure was always shadowy, Liu Yunfei went all out, so he barely lost it.

Not long after, the man in black panicked and fled to a cliff. Liu Yunfei was overjoyed and thought: The man in black must have no escape. But he didn't expect the next scene: The black shadow paused at the cliff for a moment, and then jumped down! Liu Yunfei was taken aback, and when he hurriedly rushed over, he only heard a muffled sound of "plopping" from below, splashing high water. It turned out that there was a rushing river under the cliff, and even so, there was little chance of survival left in black.

Sure enough, a few days later, fishermen living in the lower reaches of the river caught a white skeleton wrapped in black when they fished. After Tang's identification, there were still traces of her bite on the clothes, and it could be basically concluded that this was the black-clothed man who kidnapped her that day, that is, the black-faced ghost of the flower thief.

The great harm that the government could not catch for many years was eliminated by Liu Yunfei, and the people set off firecrackers like the New Year, treating Liu Yunfei as a god.

Chen Wenqing and the Tang couple are even more grateful to Liu Yunfei.

It stands to reason that after making such a great achievement, Liu Yunfei should be very happy. But in fact, Liu Yunfei only pretended to be happy in front of outsiders, but his brows were tightly knit behind his back, and he mysteriously gathered the hundred masters of the palace who came down with him, secretly not knowing what he was planning?

On this day, just after dawn, there was a big carriage, but it was already speeding in the wilderness on the outskirts of Lu'an Mansion, and the person who drove the car was the original reporter - Chen Wenqing.

Suddenly, a big tree that fell to the ground in front of him blocked the way of the carriage, and Chen Wenqing had to stop the carriage.

At this time, Liu Yunfei suddenly flashed out of the shadows, staring at Chen Wenqing with a pair of eyes.

Chen Wenqing was stunned, "Liu Zhutou, you are ......"

Liu Yunfei pointed to the carriage and ordered loudly: "Let the people in the carriage come out immediately!"

Chen Wenqing was unhappy, "Liu Zhutou, what do you mean by this? There is a person sitting in the carriage, she is not feeling well, and I am trying to rush to her husband to find a doctor!"

"What nonsense!" Liu Yunfei's eyes were cold and aggressive, "Chen Wenqing, you don't want him to come down, Master Ben can go and pull him down!" Liu Yunfei said as he spoke, and walked straight to the carriage, rudely stretched out his hand, and went to tease the curtain on the carriage.

Liu Yunfei seemed to have taken precautions for a long time, his body flashed, dodged the blade, and with lightning speed, he quickly backhanded, buckled the opponent's wrist, and pulled Tang out with a sudden force.

Seeing Tang being pulled out of the carriage, Chen Wenqing's eyes flashed in an instant, and he suddenly had a short dagger with cold light in his hand, which slammed into Liu Yunfei's back fiercely!

At the last moment, a hundred palace masters suddenly jumped out from the bushes on the side of the road, quickly knocked out the short dagger in Chen Wenqing's hand, and put the waist knife on his neck.

At this time, the Tang family had already been carried by Liu Yunfei. Liu Yunfei looked at the trembling Tang Shi coldly, and a sneer appeared on his lips: "You really pretend to be like you! Today, I want to see if you are a man or a woman?

"Yes, sir!"

As Tang's belt was torn off, the palace master suddenly burst out into a burst of exclamations.

"Lord Liu is really intelligent, this Tang clan is really a man disguised as a woman!" The hundred masters of the palace who came to arrest the flower thief "black-faced ghost" shouted in admiration one by one.

"It's over!" Chen Wenqing sighed, and in an instant, like a defeated rooster, he hung his head softly.

Liu Yunfei sneered and said, "Chen Wenqing, I might as well tell you that after Governor Shan and I arrived at the scene that day, Lord Ben's heart began to doubt: The 'black-faced ghost' has committed hundreds of crimes, and his kung fu of casting incense has already been superb, how can such a low-level mistake occur in small quantities? Also, how can he let you see the whole process of his crime?"

Liu Yunfei took out a bloodstained dagger from his arms, "You must be familiar with this dagger, right? Actually, after you were 'attacked', I began to suspect it." I went back to check where you fell, and sure enough, under the thick rotting leaves, I found this dagger. At that time, no one hurt you at all, but you deliberately hurt yourself, and then hid the dagger under the rotten leaves. At that time, I just suspected that you and the man in black were accomplices, and that the two of you secretly colluded to deliberately kidnap your wife. It wasn't until the man in black jumped off a cliff that I realized the truth. When a normal person is forced to the precipice, the first thing should be a desperate fight. If the man in black is indeed strong, he should fight to the death rather than die. I think he did that with one thing in mind: to make me think he was dead. I secretly sent someone down the rock wall, and in a hidden place, I found a cave entrance, and found some monkey hair in the hole. ”

Chen Wenqing's face was like ashes, and he muttered, "I understand......"

"No, you don't understand!" Liu Yunfei suddenly smiled slyly, "Even if I find monkey hair, I'm not sure that your accomplice will definitely be a woman disguised as a man." So, I just used words to deceive you, and you were fooled. ”

In fact, Chen Wenqing and the "Tang family" who dressed as a man and a woman are twin brothers. Because the two brothers are very similar in shape and have the same number of skills, it has always made people think that the flower thief is a person. Moreover, in order to hide people's eyes. The two brothers have always appeared in front of their neighbors as husband and wife, showing off their "affection". It's just that recently, the government has been investigating tightly, and the brothers decided to co-star in a play, so that the flower thief will "disappear" from the world. In this way, they can go unpunished elsewhere.

Outsiders don't know that for the convenience of committing the crime, the brothers also took great pains to ** a monkey to enter the woman's boudoir through the window and open the latch. Therefore, in the plan, the monkey was also added in: first deliberately left clues on the wall, and then let Liu Yunfei follow the clues to find the mountain temple, and then let the hard-trained monkey put on black clothes and jumped off the cliff in front of Liu Yunfei, and then, through dexterous body skills, the monkey flashed into the hidden cave and pushed the white bones that had been prepared long ago. It's a pity that something went wrong halfway, and a caravan came to the mountain temple gate in the middle of the night to rest, disrupting the original plan. The old woman Liu Yunfei saw that time was the younger brother who went to discuss with his brother Chen Wenqing, but he didn't expect that because the mud marks on the soles of his shoes exposed himself, Chen Wenqing had to drag Liu Yunfei with the method of "self-harm", which revealed a big flaw.

"Come on, tie up these two flower thieves who are a scourge to the order of the world, and escort them into Lu'anfu City to be judged publicly!"

"Yes, Lord Liu!"

............

"It is now ascertained that the criminals Chen Wenqing and Chen Yuanqing are twin brothers, they have been pretending to be husband and wife for a long time, confusing everyone, being cowardly, committing adultery and plundering, extremely obscene, and full of evil, causing many people on the boundary of Lu'an Mansion to lose their daughters or wives, and their families are ruined, the evidence is conclusive, and the iron case is like a mountain.

"Your Majesty Yu Die'er, hurry up and save the lives of our two brothers!" On the execution ground, Chen Wenqing and Chen Yuanqing, who were tied up naked, suddenly issued a cry for help.

With the shouts of the two death row inmates, all of a sudden, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and without warning, a big whirlwind of demons rolled over, and the two brothers Chen Wenqing and Chen Yuanqing, who were about to be executed on the execution ground, were forcibly plundered away.
