When the young man heard Mu Yirong ask about the clothes of the Crane Ming Dao Chief, he said very definitely that when he sent the Crane Ming Dao Commander to the bed, the Crane Ming Dao Chief was wearing the same Taoist robe with gold trim on the neckline and cuffs during the day.

The reason why he remembered it so clearly was because the golden robe in his heart was wrinkled, and after helping Daoist Heming take off his boots, he helped him take off the robe and hang it on the clothes rack next to the bed.

"You said you helped him take off his boots and robes, so did you see him go out that night?"

This was asked by Ruicao, and his voice was a little eager, which made the young man a little confused, and nodded slightly, "The little one remembers very clearly, and he did help Daoist Heming take off his robe and boots." As for whether he went out at night, or who he saw afterwards, the younger one does not know. ”

The young man glanced at Cheng Yuanxiang with some embarrassment, and said that he saw that the Taoist of Heming was drunk and asleep that night, and thought that he should not be called to serve again, so he returned to the front yard and ate the remaining water and wine from the banquet with a few subordinates.

The leftover food, water and wine used by the master of the high-ranking family will be rewarded to his subordinates, which is nothing, Cheng Yuanxiang did not mean to blame the young man.

It's just that Cheng Yuanxiang is also a thoughtful person, and it can be heard from Mu Yirong's questioning that it is very likely that something happened to Daoist Heming after the banquet that day.

So, for the sake of safety, he summoned the person who had been drinking with the young boy that day, and verified that what the young man said was all true.

Mu Yirong confirmed to the young man that the time he had been away from Heming Dao for a long time was the end of the day, so he let him go down, and then looked at Ruicao and the Nineteenth Prince.

On the day of the holy ice, they were all in front of the temple, and when the autopsy was conducted, the chief of the crane was wearing the cotton robe with the collar and cuffs gilded, and the boots were also on his feet.

This shows that he most likely went out that night.

The nineteenth prince looked at Cheng Yuanxiang, who was a little nervous, and gently unfolded his fan, "Qi County ordered a banquet that night, and the wine prepared was Jian Nansheng soju?"

Cheng Yuanxiang didn't know what the nineteenth prince meant by his question, but immediately replied, "Xiaguan is not the nineteenth prince, where is he willing to use Jiannansheng soju as a banquet and drink." ”

"So, in the Qi County Order, there is indeed Jian Nansheng Shochu?"

Cheng Yuanxiang nodded, "Every year that Lantian County pays tribute to the imperial court, the saint will be rewarded for our hard work." Among them is Jiannansheng shochu. ”

When the Nineteenth Prince heard this, he asked, "Only you have it?"

Cheng Yuanxiang shook his head, "The rewards of the saint are in triplicate every year, except for the lower official mansion, the Shen family and the Wei family also receive the same reward." ”

Shen Liangliang nodded hurriedly, Daojian Nansheng Shochu is worthy of being a tribute wine, and it is quite praised and respected by the poets of the former Tang Dynasty.

Wei Ling, the head of the Wei family, also praised the wonderful taste of the tribute wine, and it was their ancestors who accumulated virtue to be rewarded with such a special honor from the saints.

It's just that the raw burn is not easy to preserve, and after he gets the reward, he will use it to feast his friends, and the first half of the year will be drunk, and the second half of the year will be aftertasted, and the gluttonous worms in the stomach will come out.

As soon as these words came out, Shangshu Liu Shicheng and the county magistrate Cheng Yuanxiang laughed, but soon the two realized that the current atmosphere was not suitable, and hurriedly coughed twice to hide their embarrassment.

The nineteenth prince shook the folding fan lightly and said with a smile, "The imperial wine in the palace, this king also likes to drink Jiannansheng shochu the most." It's just that the royal brother is too stingy, and every time the king enters the palace to beg for wine, he says no. For it was all rewarded to you. ”

Shen Liangliang and Wei Ling both expressed great regret that raw soju was not easy to preserve, although some of it was stored in the ice cellar, but when the weather was hot, they were all taken out and drunk. If they knew that the Nineteenth Prince would come to Lantian County in person, they would definitely stay some.

The Nineteenth Prince waved his hand and said that it was okay, and then stared at Cheng Yuanxiang, Shen Liangliang and Wei Ling, "After the banquet that day and night, did any of you go to Daoist Heming to drink again?"

The three of them were all stunned, with different expressions on their faces, but they all waved their hands and said, "No." ”

All three of them said that they had drunk too much that night, and after the feast was over, they all went home to rest and did not go out again.

After Shen Liangliang said this, he looked at Yuhua Xian, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not speak.

Mu Yirong, who had been observing everyone, could see that the county commander Cheng Yuanxiang, the head of the Shen family, Shen Liangliang, the head of the Wei family, Wei Ling, and Kun Daogu Yuhua Xian, all had something to hide.

Especially Shen Liangliang and Yuhua Immortal, there is obviously something to do with the dead Heming Dao Chief.

Mu Yirong felt that the questions he wanted to ask were almost done, and looked at the nineteenth prince, who gave Yuhuaxian a wink, and then thanked Cheng Yuanxiang with a smile for his hospitality, and also apologized for bothering Cheng Mansion for some time in the future, so he went down to rest.

When Cheng Yuanxiang saw it, he hurriedly stood up, and when he was about to speak, a subordinate suddenly ran in in a panic outside, ran to Cheng Yuanxiang's ear in three or two steps, and whispered a few words to him, Cheng Yuanxiang's face suddenly became very ugly.

When the nineteenth prince saw it, he asked Cheng Yuanxiang with a concerned face What happened?

Cheng Yuanxiang had a bitter face, hesitated for a long time before he replied with some embarrassment, "Back to the Nineteenth Prince, I don't know what's going on in the official mansion recently, there are always people who see some dirty things." I just happened to be bumped into by my wife, and I was frightened. ”

"Dirty, what's dirty?"

The tone of the nineteenth prince rose, and he could obviously hear the meaning of joy, but Cheng Yuanxiang's face was still like bile, bitter and green.

"To tell you the truth, recently, I often see a white shadow that looks like a ghost flying around in the house. ”

After Cheng Yuanxiang finished speaking, he looked at Shen Liangliang and Wei Ling with some anxiety and embarrassment.

"Actually, the Shen Mansion and the Wei Mansion also encountered the same trouble. ”

Liu Shicheng heard that Chengfu was haunted, and couldn't help but have a cold war, he was almost frightened because of the ghost in the strange fog a few days ago, but he didn't expect that when he arrived in Lantian County, this ghost said again, and he couldn't help but look at Mu Yirong with some concern.

"Wood Squire, this is the same as the strange fog before"

Liu Shicheng's words were interrupted by Mu Yirong before he finished speaking, Mu Yirong said, in this world, where do you get so many ghosts!

Liu Qingyan also asked his father not to listen to the wind and rain, where did the monsters and ghosts come from in this world, someone must be pretending to be a ghost.

As he spoke, he asked Cheng Yuanxiang and the others, did they see the specific appearance of the ghost in white?

Cheng Yuanxiang glanced at Shen Liangliang hesitantly, and finally shook his head, saying that the ghost figure in his mansion had been coming and going without a trace, and he had not seen its specific face.

Mu Yirong looked at Shen Liangliang and Wei Ling, Wei Ling shook his head, indicating that the people in his house only saw a white shadow floating around, and did not see the specific face.

Shen Liangliang hesitated for a moment and nodded, and then he asked this ghost, could it be related to the death of the Crane Ming Dao Chief?
