After the ghost affair is over.

Bo Ziyu took a small board car and carried Zhou Huai's corpse and the half-cut strange insect hanging on his belly, and advanced all the way to the yamen lobby.

It's the day.

The county government is vomiting to the bottom.

It is said that several adults are "frightened" and want to go home to recuperate for some time. Because of this, even Xing Zhutou, who was recuperating in bed, was reprimanded for Bo Ziyu's "reckless" behavior.

Of course, the effect is still there.

After the incident of "Aunt Tiger", there was a faint rumor of "people turning into demons" in the yamen, but firstly, it was too "nonsense", and secondly, because of laziness, I did not attach importance to this statement.

But when Zhou Huai's body appeared in front of the county officials, the statement "people turned into demons" was a real hammer.

Spit and vomit, recuperation and recuperation, or expressed importance to the change of circumstances of the case.

Specifically, he called the new head catcher over, used a combination of grace and power, bluffed and frightened, sprayed a dog's blood, and ordered the case to be solved within a few days.

During this period, Li Changan also mentioned Yu Mei's matter on the side, such as whether the ghost-faced man killed people for a reason.

But obviously, rather than whether there is a reason for killing people, or even whether they are killing people, adults are more concerned about whether they have fallen into the prestige of the government and swept their face.

Therefore, Yu Mei's bounty was hung at the city gate, and at most a sentence was added to the proclamation: "If you can turn yourself in, you will be lenient".

At the same time.

also added a bounty for the "demon change", and did not dare to say that he was afraid of startling the snake, but secretly rubbed and said that he was recruiting strange people, and the bounty was higher than Yu Mei's head.

Two hundred taels!

But Li Changan felt that this was a complete joke.

Whether it's the careful thinking that wants to cover it up or the bounty itself.

After all, although Xiaoshui is densely populated, it is only a county seat in the end. A little wind and grass can spread all over the county, where can hide what secrets.

Moreover, there are also six "righteous men" who received the reward last time as a lesson from the past.

The two brothers, Zhang Tong and Zhang Shaonan, broke their arms and legs, and went back to continue their old business as "ruffians", and they didn't even get a single tael of medical expenses.

Zheng Tuzi was in pain, and he slipped back to continue slaughtering sheep and selling meat.

Xu Zhan, a parallel swordsman, ran away directly afterwards, and it is said that he found a job as a caretaker and ate with his mouth.

And Taoist Feng Chong and Ranger Zhang Yi, these two people have the highest skills, they fought Yu Mei, and then followed by Dou Jingmei, fighting the longest and being the most injured.

In this way, those who are involved in this matter are cowardice, running, and injury, and none of them end well. In this way, where is the heartless eye to wade into this troubled water?

There is only one lone seedling left in Li Changan, who is full of whiskers and tails, and is jumping around.

However......

The smoke is warm and warm, and the spring is melting.

In the small courtyard of the Yu family shop.

The breeze shakes the vines, giving off a burst of fragrance.

In the courtyard, Lao Kui propped up a dense canopy to cover most of the courtyard.

Dappled sunlight poured down.

The Taoist priest lazily narrowed his eyes, rubbed his body against the trunk of the tree, found a more comfortable position to lean on, picked up a bamboo arrow and threw it casually.

The arrow drew an arc and landed exactly into a thin-necked barnacle a dozen paces away.

Alas-

A few little ghosts watching the battle next to him immediately let out a series of sighs.

The Taoist priest laughed.

"Ten out of ten shots, I won. ”

He put away the sheathed knife on the table, and reached for a plate of pastries across from him.

"This dish of wisteria cake is mine. ”

The little girl who lost the game on the opposite side, Amei, "hummed", shook her pigtails, and ran away with her little followers.

"This wild girl, she really doesn't know how to be polite!"

The shopkeeper hurried over and apologized.

The Taoist priest waved his hand.

"It's okay, thanks to Xiao Amei, I also earned a plate of dim sum. ”

The shopkeeper is also a talker, and when he saw that Li Changan was kind, he sighed and chattered.

Amei's father is a prodigal, he hasn't seen anyone for many years, and when he comes home, he only knows to tell Xiao Amei some strange things about demons, monsters, strange people, sword fairy mages and so on. It hurt that Xiao Amei didn't look like a girl, and she played with boys all day long, and said that she would apprentice to immortals in the future and be a woman who slays demons and destroys demons.

He talked a lot, and finally remembered that he had nothing to do, left a new pot of wine, and left with a sigh.

As he walked, he chattered at the same time.

"This girl is always like this, how will she marry in the future? The son of the old Yan family plays very well with her, why don't you make a marriage contract early?"

Li Changan's left ear went in and out of his right ear, all as if the wind was blowing the trees, and he didn't pay attention at all.

It's a pity that I didn't enjoy much purity.

The shopkeeper walked on the front foot, and Bo Ziyu made up for it on the back foot out of nowhere.

"The Taoist is really pure, and he has the leisure to play with children and throw pots?"

"Or else?"

The Taoist priest smiled and pushed the snack over.

Bo Ziyu shyly wiped the fire bubbles on his shy mouth.

"I can't eat it. ”

"Drinking?"

"I can't drink it anymore!"

"Why bother?"

Li Changan moved his back and let himself "sink" into the trunk a little more.

"You didn't report the matter to the county government?"

"Reported. ”

"The county government didn't pay attention to it?"

"I paid attention to it. ”

"No action to catch fast?"

"I've been looking around. ”

"That's not the end of it. ”

The Taoist priest leaned against the old acacia and took a sip of new wine.

"Now that we've laid down our staff, let's wait for news. Besides, even if you drag me out, it won't be more than one headless fly, and it won't help. ”

"I know. Bo Ziyu sighed, "I'm just ......"

It's just that being in it is unbearable.

Li Changan understands Bo Ziyu's anxiety.

In fact, the young catcher is worried about the hidden monsters and the poisonous demon plague, how can Li Changan not be anxious?

Two days have passed since the night of the ghost, and although the night is foggy all over the city, it is still calm on the surface. But only those who have really come into contact with this matter know what kind of undercurrent is surging under this superficial calm.

Not to mention anything else, the thirty-seven parasitic demon insects that could exist alone were enough to make people tremble.

Imagine.

Your wife who shares the bed, your friends who drink at the same table, the passers-by, the servants, the merchants, the prostitutes...... It's possible that there is a monster worm hidden in the stomach and can turn into a monster and devour you at any time.

No one is afraid of it, and it trembles.

But, it's still the same sentence.

There are no clues.

And Li Changan himself is full of suspicion about Xiaoshui, the demon epidemic, the culprit behind the scenes, and even Yu Mei, but Yu Mei has always been elusive and difficult to find, even if he has a stomach, he has to hold it in his heart.

It's useless to be anxious left and right.

It's better to bask in the sun, eat a plate of snacks, drink a cup of new wine, and have the right to be busy and recuperate.

Bo Ziyu nodded reluctantly, and suddenly saw the short knife that Li Changan had used as a bet before, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

"What is this?"

"Zhang Yi's knife. ”

Li Changan casually handed over the knife.

"Thirty taels bought. ”

Bo Ziyu took it and pulled it out, and suddenly his hairs stood on end, only to feel that the autumn light in front of him was clear, like a lotus flower out of the box.

"Good knives!"

He blurted out.

I looked at it again.

"But it was sold cheaply. ”

"If you polish and decorate, be patient, and wait until the high-roller who knows the goods comes to the door, you will not be able to sell fifty taels. ”

Li Changan returned nonchalantly.

"But I only have thirty taels. ”

"It's a pity, why is he in a hurry to sell cheaply?"

The Taoist priest did not answer, but only nodded in a certain direction.

Bo Ziyu is also an understanding person, and he immediately understood it.

"Tanuki Building?"

The Taoist priest smiled but did not speak.

Bo Ziyu "tsk" a few times.

"I didn't think that this cold-faced fighting man was still a wind (harmony) stream that poured money like water. ”

The Taoist priest still didn't reply, only grabbed a piece of pastry into his mouth.

It's also strange to say.

A cold-hearted man like the ranger Zhang Yi actually committed a trick on Xiaoshui's famous flower and the three ladies upstairs of the raccoon. But helplessly, the third lady has a golden face, and she has to spend five taels of silver when she sees the previous side.

And Zhang Yi, a charlatan who lives today and dies tomorrow, where does he have so much spare money? After that night, he dragged his injuries and squatted downstairs all day to sell knives.

can be counted all over the water, there are no high-rollers who know the goods.

Taoist priests come in and out every day, and they see it dazzlingly, only to feel that this scene is like a third-rate romance in the present world.

The wild dog fell in love with the domestic cat and knocked off the canine teeth to exchange for small dried fish.

After all, the Taoist priest couldn't look past it, so he counted the silver on his body, and left some bits and pieces, and scraped together thirty taels to buy his unsalable short knife.

It's just that how many times can I see the third lady in just thirty taels?

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

Zhang Yi's matter has no intention of being discussed in detail.

Li Changan doesn't like to make fun of others.

Bo Ziyu was purely anxious and uneasy.

Not for a while.

He sighed again.

Li Changan's ears were calloused when he heard this, and he helplessly persuaded:

"The Yamen Hundred and Ten people scattered, and what they investigated was just a strange thing happened to someone, and whose food consumption suddenly soared, and sooner or later they could find some clues, and they were at ease. ”

Bo Ziyu said in his heart, it was because he was doing things with his own colleagues that he was so uneasy. Other people don't know, doesn't he know what those colleagues are?

But in front of Li Changan, an outsider, he couldn't fall into the face of the yamen.

I had to say quietly:

"I hope so. ”

"Just this clue...... When will I find it?"

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

Bo Ziyu is worried here, but a bunch of imps over there are having fun.

Just as the store said.

Xiao Amei is a child who aspires to be a heroine, so she has never loved the game of turning the flower rope and pretending to be a family, and only likes cockfighting (crutches), pot throwing, and horns.

The wonderful thing is that the little men in the friends are not the opponents of her little girl.

Today, she lost her beloved pastry by throwing a pot, so she launched a confrontation and vented all her anger openly.

Maybe he heard the chatter when the store left, and the kid of the Yan family was cleaned up with a particularly blue nose and swollen face.

A certain baby fell into a hurry.

"Don't be complacent, my brother has the most strength, he is there, and he will definitely be able to lift you to the sky. ”

Before Ah Mei could express her disdain, the men started to fight among themselves.

"Fart! My brother has the most strength, he can knock over the family dog. ”

"My brother has a lot of strength, he can overturn the old sow. ”

"My brother has great strength, he can overturn a big buffalo!"

......

This comparison finally fell on a stuttering boy.

"My brother-brother-brother's strength-talent ......"

Friends wait patiently, what kind of thing can his brother overturn.

However.

"He-he can eat three-three buckets of rice!"

The little friend was stunned, and then there was a burst of laughter.

The little stammerer was anxious, and actually cleared his tongue (harmony) head.

"My mom said that the more you eat, the more strength you have!"

After this sentence, the laughter around him actually stopped abruptly.

The little stammerer only thought that he had persuaded everyone, and Fang proudly crossed his waist, but found that the friends were looking timidly behind him.

Turn your head to look.

In the courtyard, two adults stood behind themselves at some point.

Syllable.

The adult in the official uniform grabbed the little stammer's shoulder.

"Little stammer. ”

Bo Ziyu stared at the bloodshot eyes, trying her best to squeeze out the most "kind" smile.

"You just said, how many buckets of rice can your brother eat?"
