"I heard that this thief is a ghost. ”

One person looked around meaningfully and said cautiously.

Ghost?

Yi Fan's eyes narrowed: "Why did the layman guess like this?"

The man snorted, reluctant to tell the details, and said: "Anyway, that person identified the thief who stole the property, which is the murderer, and there will be results today, so you might as well take a look at it then." ”

Seeing that he didn't want to say it, Yi Fan didn't force it, a few people chatted, and he said a few words from time to time.

The rain came and went quickly, and it stopped after a while, so they walked together, he led the donkey, and the disgusting ghost followed him, and went to Fuxiang Town together.

The town is not far from here, only a few miles, turn a hillside and see a densely populated territory, by the mountains and rivers, after the rain like a different flavor.

The closer to the town, the more pedestrians you meet, although there are wanderers, but not like Guobei County, you can see selling children and daughters everywhere, there are a lot of people on the street, although it is just after the rain, but it is also lively, but it presents a good scene of fireworks in the world.

Several people pointed out the direction of Zhou Yuanwai's house, said goodbye to each other and left, Yi Fan did not go, took the donkey to take a look, stopped from time to time, and watched passers-by perform acrobatics.

Half an hour later, I found an inn, asked for an upper room, put the salute away, came out and ordered a few side dishes, sat by the window, drank a little wine, and looked at the street below, which was also pleasant.

"Dao Chief, this is going to Zhou's house?"

An old man who was drinking next to him touched his mouth, and he was not polite, and sat over with a wine jug.

This is the second person to ask today, Yi Fan was speechless, and replied: "Poor Dao is just passing by here, preparing to rest for a few days, not going to Zhou's house." ”

The old man nodded, glanced at the dishes on Yi Fan's table, and shouted to Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, serve the Eight Treasures Zhen Chicken, Fire Barbecue Goose, and a few other side dishes with books in your store, and then a pot of good wine." ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

After a while, Xiao Er held a tray and came up with a few small dishes, and then brought a few big dishes from the kitchen, which were full of real color and fragrance, which made people have a great appetite.

The old man raised his glass: "Meeting is fate, if the Taoist chief doesn't dislike it, let's talk?"

Although Yi Fan was surprised, he didn't refuse, nodded, and said with a smile: "The old man is polite." ”

"Okay, then the old man will say a few words. The old man was in high spirits, raised his glass and drank, then dragged down a piece of chicken thigh, ate it in a big gulp, and saw that Yi Fan did not move his chopsticks, so he said: "Why don't you eat it?" The Babao Zhen Chicken in this store is famous for ten miles, it is really the best, and it is handled very well, which can be described as delicious in the world. ”

Yi Fan complained in his heart, you guy, you don't wash your hands, who knows if you have been to the thatched house just now? I don't know how to use chopsticks, where can I get my mouth.

But he couldn't say this, he just smiled, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a few chopsticks and side dishes: "The layman has a good appetite, you can eat, Poor Dao wants to eat something light today." ”

The old man shook his head: "It's a pity. ”

After that, he said: "By the way, where did I just go?" I remembered, Dao Chief, don't blame the old man for talking too much, I advise you to leave early, don't worry about the affairs of the Zhou family." ”

"Oh?" Yi Fan wondered, "Why did the old man say that?"

Those few people just now, but let him go to Zhou's house, saying that there was good wine and meat to serve, but the old man asked him not to go, the meaning is diametrically opposite, is it possible that there is something secret?

Seeing Yi Fan's doubts, the old man coughed and said proudly: "It's right for you to ask me about this, and other people really don't necessarily know." ”

As he spoke, he sneakily looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he said: "The old man has a good friend, once I saw the thief who stole gold and silver treasures, and told you, I must not have thought that it was a greedy ghost, and begged my good friend, don't say it." ”

Is it really a ghost?

Yi Fan's heart moved, and just as he was about to speak, the old man raised his hand proudly: "How can you not say this matter easily? My good one is not stupid, and I asked for three gold ingots." ”

Well, what can I say when you say that? touched his nose and didn't answer.

This chat is more than half an hour, full of wine and food, the dishes are finished, and the old man wiped his grease mouth, stood up and arched his hand: "The old man left first, there is a bit of a hurry to deal with, you use it slowly." ”

After finishing speaking, he went out, Yi Fan was stunned, and quickly stopped: "Old man, do you have money for this meal?"

The old man's eyes widened: "Of course you give it, is it possible that I give it?"

You don't have the money to order so much? Yi Fan was speechless, he met an old scoundrel, and the shopkeeper over there saw that the situation was not right, so he immediately beckoned several other helpers to come forward: "Two, the food in the shop is satisfactory, and the wine is good?"

The old man clapped his hands and said very shamefully: "I don't have any money, you ask him for it, go first, and come back tomorrow." ”

As soon as the words fell, the person slipped out, Yi Fan wanted to stop it, but was blocked by the shopkeeper, and said in a tone that was neither yin nor yang: "Objective, the small shop is not a big deal, but there is no reason to take credit." ”

"These drinks and dishes are the signature of our store, and the wine is good, it is a good wine, remove the change, and sincerely benefit one or two or two dollars. ”

Yi Fan really wanted to slap the old man to death with one palm, but in the end he still took out his purse, handed over the silver unhappily, and said, "You go and buy me some fresh fruit and send it to the room." ”

The shopkeeper took the silver and smiled on his face: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely do it for you." ”

said, hesitated, and said: "You, you are still too good-faced, that old thing just now, in our Fuxiang Town, is very lazy, when you meet foreign guests, you always have to cheat, if you have a good temper, you will be beaten up, as long as you don't kill you, no one cares." ”

Well, it's my fault for being kind-hearted?

......

After resting for a while, Yi Fan took the disgusted ghost out of the inn and went to the direction of Zhou Yuanwai's house, he was not going to participate in this matter, but he was asked three times and twice, and the bizarre things in it aroused his interest.

The town is not big, just a few streets, turned a few corners, entered an alley, and saw a mansion in front, with a plaque on it that reads 'Zhou Mansion', and a group of people surround it outside, but it is lively to watch.

When I got closer, it turned out to be the Taoist priest who came a few days ago, caught the thief who stole gold, silver and jewelry, and pointed out that many missing cases in the town were related to it.

Isn't it rumored that the ghost king sent a little ghost to catch people?

Yi Fan was puzzled in his heart, and when he took a few steps forward, the person next to him saw that it was a Taoist priest, and immediately gave way and let him step forward.

I saw the huge open space in front of the Zhou Mansion, there were more than ten people, most of them were dressed as servants, among which the old man in brocade clothes should be outside the Zhou Yuan, next to a middle-aged Taoist priest, wearing a Taoist robe, wearing a Taoist bun, holding a sword, in front of a Dharma altar, but in front of the altar is a large wooden barrel, on which there are several talismans.
