Li Yao's eyebrows danced and told a lot of various anecdotes and things he encountered, which made Jiang Fang, a modern person, breathtaking, and soon the moon had risen to the middle of the sky, and then the two of them were sleepy, and they fell asleep one after another.

At night, Jiang Fang had a very strange dream,

He was standing by the river where he was camping, Jiang Chuan and his sister-in-law were standing on the other side of the river, and his brother and sister-in-law waved at him, as if they had a lot to say to him, but before he could say anything, he was blown away by the strong wind. Immediately afterwards, a beautiful girl with a fishtail appeared in the river, and the girl told Jiang Fang that she was the little fish that saved his life, and asked Jiang Fang to take care of herself and wait for her to come back when she became an adult.

After the fish beauty disappeared, Ji Shaomei and the female ghost appeared at the same time, Ji Shaomei's face was sad, saying that her mana was running out of time, and she asked Jiang Fang to find the real culprit as soon as possible. The female ghost is dressed in a very modern denim suit and holds a small red bead in her hand.

"Thank you for helping me get out of the car, it's my reward for you. ”

Righteous Qi Bead?!

Jiang Fang instantly sobered up,

When I closed my eyes and looked inside, I saw that the red beads were a little bigger, and the breath in my body had become much thicker.

"Isn't this a dream?"

Jiang Fang looked left and right, couldn't see Jiang Chuan and the female ghost, and called Ji Shaomei's name, but couldn't hear any response.

When I think about it again, I understand a lot in an instant.

Dreams do not come out of thin air, they are the preservation and continuation of daytime thoughts. Jiang Fang used to reminisce about the past by the river, and thought of the river and the fish swimming in the river many times, and the two naturally came to meet in a dream.

Although it is a dream,

But what is in the dream still has "real meaning",

For example, Ji Shaomei, who has not come out since she went up.

According to Lao Wang's words, Jiang Fang's three souls and seven souls are incomplete, and the reason why he survives in the world is because he has Ji Shaomei's soul on his body.

Ji Shaomei was a very ordinary peasant girl before her death, and after her death, she was just an ordinary wandering ghost.

It is impossible for her to stay in Jiang Fang's body all the time, and when her mana is not enough to support her, she will break away from Jiang Fang's body, and at that time, she and Jiang Fang will have two deaths.

"No, we have to hurry up and cultivate, and we have to find out the truth quickly. ”

Jiang Fang muttered to himself, seeing that the sky had brightened, he kicked Lin Yao awake, and after hurriedly eating some dry food, he hurried back to Xinyang County.

......

early morning

When the first rays of sunlight illuminated the streets of Xinyang, Jiang Fang and Lin Yao were already guarding in front of the aunt's door.

The female ghost is gone, and the man will wake up, and he must tell the person concerned what happened to avoid the same problem in the future.

Because he didn't sleep well last night, Lin Yao was in a very low mood, and his face was not very friendly, and his expression when he looked at Jiang Fang was the same as the stone lion at the door. However, when he saw the "appearance" of the stone lion clearly, and when he was sure that the stone lion was the stone lion in his memory, he suddenly recovered from a half-dead state: "Jiang Fang!?

"Yes, what's wrong?" Jiang Fang looked suspicious: "Do you know this family?

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

Lin Yao didn't know what to think, the whole person was like a deflated ball, and he sat on the ground.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Fang became more and more confused: "What is all over?"

"Boss Niu has already made a rule, and we must not have anything to do with this family, otherwise..."

"Boss Niu, what does it have to do with him? Jiang Fang was also curious about how Niu Yi could set such a rule, so he helped Lin Yao to sit aside and asked him to explain it to him.

"It was twenty years ago. ”

Twenty years ago?

Jiang Fang was taken aback,

Is it so long? Is it the emotional entanglement of three generations?

Thinking back to 20 years ago, he was just a primary school student sitting in the classroom, worried about his junior high school, and Lin Yao was just a child who liked to listen to his father's stories about the rivers and lakes.

Jiang Fang couldn't figure out, what kind of thing could span twenty years?

"Originally, Boss Niu wouldn't let me say it, but now I can't care about it. Lin Yao's face was like ashes: "This matter has to start from when Boss Niu first entered the yamen." ”

Twenty years ago,

Niu Yi came back to his hometown and province after wandering the rivers and lakes, and it happened that Xinyang County was recruiting troops and horses to recruit talents, and Niu Yi just wanted to settle down, so he signed up for the exam.

At that time, Xinyang County was far less prosperous than it is today, and although the yamen was a court official house, it was also cold and dilapidated.

Seeing that the young Niu Yi was able to write and martial arts, the magistrate was very happy and decided to hand over the yamen to him for rectification, but before that, he needed to test his ability to solve the case.

A very simple burglary.

Niu Yi readily agreed, and immediately looked through the file: "It rained the night before, and a snitch entered Ma's house in the north of the city and stole a number of gold and silver jewelry..."

There was little information in the case file, and Niu Yi decided to go to Ma's house to see the situation in person.

The Ma family is a well-known rich man in Xinyang County, and in order to prevent thieves, the courtyard wall is high and steep, and there are many poison-soaked iron nails inlaid on it. I asked everyone in the courtyard about the situation, and learned that the snitch had climbed over the wall outside the courtyard to get in.

The walls are dozens of feet high,

The rainy night is slippery, and it is more difficult to climb over the wall.

Ordinary thieves definitely don't have this skill.

At that time, the two were newly formed, more energetic and inexperienced, and when they saw that they couldn't find the results after checking and checking, they looked for another way.

The person who stole the jewelry was very skilled, and as long as it was found that the monk Takefu in the city did not have alibi evidence at the time of the crime, that person was the snitch he was looking for.

Niu did what he said, and after some investigation, there were results.

There is a family surnamed Zhao in the city, and there are only two men and women in the family, the man is called Zao Wou-Ki and the woman is called Zhang Ru. After investigation, Zao Wouji's ancestor used to be a disciple of a certain sect, because he had the protection of his ancestors, he also entered the sect to learn Taoism, but he went down the mountain within two years, and it was rumored that he was not good at learning and was driven out of the mountain gate. According to neighbors, on the night of the incident, Zao Wou-Ki went out in the rain, and when he returned, he stumbled and seemed to have an injury to his leg.

This is in line with the speculation that the wall was scratched by iron nails.

Niu Yi didn't dare to be careless, and observed outside Zhao's house, and after a few days, he found that Zao Wou-Ki had been staying at home, and Zhang Ru had to go to the pharmacy every once in a while.

Sent someone to the pharmacy to investigate, and got an exciting piece of information - Zhang Ru bought antidote herbs!

All evidence points to Zao Wou-Ki as the culprit in the theft.

Niu Yi immediately informed the county of the matter, and the county magistrate personally led the team to break into Zhao's house and arrest Zhao Wouji and Zhang Ru together.

"Zhang Zhao and the others are the owners of this courtyard?"

Jiang Fang recalled that the man was tall and seemed to have indeed practiced martial arts, and it should be Zao Wou-ki.

"What happened to them?" Jiang Fang then asked.

After entering the yamen, Zao Wou-Ki could not bear the torture, and was worried that Zhang Ru would be tortured and abused, so it didn't take long for him to confess his guilt and be taken to the prison to be beheaded on a later day.

On the eve of the beheading, Niu Yi was invited by the Ma family as a guest.

After the banquet, the drunken family told an unacceptable fact - it was not the so-called snitch who stole the jewelry, but the concubine of the head of the family.

The concubine has a little white face outside, and in order to please the little white face, she steals the jewelry at home to make the little white face happy.

Niu Yi was shocked, and immediately called the concubine for questioning, and in the face of the angry head of the family, the concubine trembled, and simply confessed all the crimes.

"That's the way it is. Lin Yao said with a bitter face: "Although Boss Niu apologized to Zao Wou-Ki many times, Zao Wou-Ki and Zhang Ru never forgiven. After that, Boss Niu became angry, so he didn't let his subordinates have any dealings with the Zhao family, if my guess is right, the reason why Boss Niu did this is also to cover up the guilt in his heart, well, Lao Wang also knows about this. ”

"I understand, it turns out that Lao Wang also knows. Jiang Fang nodded again and again, and it was only then that he knew why Lao Wang had that expression.

Also, after Aunt Zhang came back from buying medicine, he asked Aunt Zhang if he had met someone from the yamen in the pharmacy, and Aunt Zhang replied that she had met Lin Yao, but unfortunately she forgot Lin Yao's name. At the beginning, she was entangled by a female ghost and had no time to distinguish, but the more she thought about it afterwards, the more strange it became, since Aunt Zhang knew that Lin Yao was the son of Lin Yao in the dart bureau, and knew that Lin Yao was on an errand in the yamen, how could she not know what Lin Yao's name was?

Looking at it now, this is all a "white lie".

I regret it a little bit, if I had reported that I was from the yamen, my aunt Zhang Ru would not have looked for herself to catch the fox spirit, and naturally there was no such now.

But then again, if you don't help Zao Wou-Ki exorcise ghosts, where will you have the opportunity to get the gratitude of the female ghost and get the righteous qi bead?

Everything in the world is interlocking, which is the way of life.

Seeing Lin Yao lying on the ground like a lost dog, Jiang Fang comforted: "Don't worry, although Boss Niu has a fierce face, he is not a bad person. You didn't do anything wrong in this matter, and Boss Niu won't blame you. ”

"How is it possible? Boss Niu told us not to get in touch with this family, I, I violated Boss Niu's order, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat in the future." ”

Before the words fell, footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance behind the door.

"I'll go back first, and if they ask you, don't say you're from the yamen. Lin Yao bounced up like an electric shock: "Don't forget, they have a grudge against Boss Niu!"

"Okay, I remember. ”

Jiang Fang agreed, but he didn't take Lin Yao's advice seriously in his heart.

In his opinion,

Whether it is Aunt Zhang Ru Zhang or Uncle Zao Wou-Ki Zhao, they are not villains who will be avenged, not to mention that they helped Uncle Zhao get rid of the ghosts on his body on this trip, even if he is a wrongdoer, he will have to solve it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fang took the initiative to "ask for battle" and stepped forward and knocked on the door.

......

"Daxian, you're finally back!"

Aunt Zhang's face was full of joy, needless to say, she knew that it must be Uncle Zhao who turned the corner.

Sure enough, without waiting for Jiang Fang to reply, Aunt Zhang continued: "He woke up before it got dark last night, and now he is sitting in the house, waiting to thank Daxian in person!"

took Jiang Fang's hand and walked in the direction of the living room.

"Aunt Zhang, wait a minute. ”

Jiang Fang stood still.

"What is Daxian's explanation?" Aunt Zhang's face was confused.

"Aunt Zhang, guess what, why didn't you tell me your name, but I know your surname is Zhang?" Jiang Fang asked, observing the expression on Aunt Zhang's face.

"Yes, how do you know that my surname is Zhang?" Aunt Zhang asked herself: "I know, it must have been told to you by the neighbors." ”

"It's not near the neighborhood, it's Lin Yao, it's after the dart game. ”

"Lin Yao?" Aunt Zhang looked suspicious: "How do you know him?"

"Don't hide it, I'm not a great immortal, my name is Jiang Fang, and I'm from the yamen. Jiang Fang said softly: "I already know what you did before, Boss Niu loves face, I apologize to you for him." ”

Listen to Jiang Fang's self-report home,

The expression on Aunt Zhang's face changed rapidly,

There was anger, there was surprise, and there was gratitude.

"Auntie. I know that you and the Yamen have a very unhappy past, but that was decades ago, and it was all a misunderstanding, so we don't need to live a lifetime with the unhappiness of decades ago. Jiang Fang's tone was very sincere: "I lied to Daxian before to make money, and now I tell you everything, if you don't forgive the yamen, then, I will stand here and not leave." ”

There was silence for a long time,

Aunt Zhang finally spoke, and there was already a cry in her voice: "Gongzi Jiang, you know that we don't deal with the yamen, and you still want to help us, great kindness, I really don't know how to say thank you." Since you are a member of the Yamen, then our grievances with the Yamen will be written off from now on. Wiping away the tears beside his eyes: "Young Master Jiang, please come with me, we have something to give you." ”

Jiang Fang nodded in agreement and walked to the living room with Aunt Zhang.

In addition to surprise, there is also a little uneasiness in my heart.

In fact, he only learned that the other party and the yamen were at odds after the exorcism, and if he knew in advance, because of the face of Lao Wang and Niu Yi, he really didn't know if he would continue to help the other party.

If you are wrong, you will be wrong!

Before he walked into the living room, he heard a hearty laugh from inside: "The benefactor is here, please accept Zhao's worship!"

That's unacceptable!

Jiang Fang hurriedly trotted two steps into the door, and forcefully helped Zhao Wouji, who was about to bend his knees, back to his seat: "Uncle Zhao, you are weak, don't make extra movements." "Tell the other person who you are.

"The benefactor is a person from the Yamen?" Zhao Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then continued to laugh: "Even if it is a person from the Yamen, it is also Zhao's benefactor!"

Faced Aunt Zhang, who was standing on the side, he gave a look: "Take that thing out." ”

Aunt Zhang led the order to the side of the wall, knocked on it, and the bricks of the wall were sunken, revealing a black wooden box with gold edges tattooed around the wooden box, and a small white crane tattooed in the center of the upper lid.

The appearance is so good, there must be something very valuable inside.

Jiang Fang had a whim, could it be the transfer contract of the two stone lions outside the door?

He has coveted the stone lion for a long time, and if he really wants to give the stone lion to himself, even if he is embarrassed, he has to accept it gladly!
