Chapter 4: The Inner Ghost Appears
"There is an inner demon between you. As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.
Huang Baozhong was not surprised, and stood up and said in a deep voice: "I also think that there is an internal ghost, I have suspected it for a long time, but I can't find any evidence." ”
Wang Shihao was very surprised, stood up suddenly, looked at the people around him, and said uncertainly: "No, this is impossible." He looked up at Zhang Lu.
"Master Zhang, what kind of situation is this?"
Zhang Lu repeated the inference he had just made to the young man. After hearing this, Wang Shihao swept the people around him, walked away a few steps quietly, and asked Zhang Lu in a panic:
"Has the military master found out who the inner ghost is?" Wang Shihao was both frightened and angry, and he didn't know which one dared to eat inside and out and betray him.
Zhang Lu shook his head.
"To be honest, I can't do these things to catch spies and find inner ghosts, but I asked this little brother to help find out the inner ghosts. He pointed to the boy.
"Beggars?"
Wang Shihao wondered. "Let a beggar catch the inner ghost? This is not the time to joke, Master Jun, what do you want to do?"
"He's not a beggar. If you let us be soldiers, we can catch thieves and kill the enemy, but it will be difficult for a strong man to catch an internal ghost! Besides, you are all suspected of being an internal ghost, and no matter who identifies whom, the credibility is not high, so it may be helpful to let an outsider come and see it.
I said that everything will be arranged by me, and you can cooperate! Time is running out, so let's start now. ”
Wang Shihao suddenly regretted letting a soldier call the shots, and he felt too casual and unreliable. But at this point, it has come to this point, and then it will depend on others, and I have no choice but to agree to this ridiculous idea.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the young man cleared his throat and said:
"After listening to what you said just now, I have a general idea of what happened. The reason why I say this now is because I'm thinking what I would do if I were that inner ghost?"
The boy paused and looked around at the crowd.
"Although I don't know for what purpose this inner ghost betrayed the master's family, it must have a common interest relationship with the Black Mountain Thieves.
The Black Mountain thieves did not kill them all, it must be because of the death of this surnamed Wang, they are not conducive to getting what they want. However, if they are captured alive and have to withstand the pressure of encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers, it will be even more difficult. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be very secretive, and it can be easily destroyed. The boy licked his chapped lips, "Otherwise, you won't survive here!" ”
Wang Shihao's face was ugly. The boy was right, and he was so detailed that he almost didn't say what it was. This thing must not be leaked out, otherwise he or even the Wang family will be implicated and exterminated.
But this little ghost is really powerful, maybe he can find out the inner ghost. It's just that I'm too annoying to speak, and I'm "surnamed Wang" at every turn, I'm also a son of a family, I don't know etiquette at all, and I'm vulgar!
Wang Shihao interrupted the young man's words with a cold face.
If you know, just say who the inner ghost is. ”
The boy ignored him and continued to reason about himself.
"Therefore, the Black Mountain thieves did not dare to push you too quickly, but continued to report through the inner ghosts, ambushing and attacking on your route, and consuming your men and horses.
If I were an inner ghost, I would definitely attack you when you were almost exhausted. You have to let the surnamed Wang be controlled unconsciously, so that he can't jump over the wall and destroy things.
At this time, it is inconvenient to start on the road, because if you want to control the surname Wang, you will not be able to control other people at the first time, and the identity of the inner ghost will be exposed. If it fails, the inner ghost will lose its role and may even die.
The inner ghost must find a way to make you stop and find a place to rest, so that you can have a chance to catch them all. And so you came here. ”
Everyone looked at Rong'er in unison, it was she who was clamoring to rest before, so everyone entered this mountain temple.
Wang Shihao was shocked and asked tremblingly: "Rong'er, is it - is it really you who is the inner ghost?"
Rong'er is his favorite concubine, and if he wasn't the most favored, he wouldn't have taken her with him in such an important business. If she was an inner ghost, he couldn't accept it at all.
Rong'er hid her face and cried, and I felt pity.
"Master, the slave family is wronged, the slave family is not an internal ghost, master, you must believe me.
If the slave family betrays the master, if the master goes, what can a concubine of the slave family have? The Wang family will only kill the slave family with a rod.
The Wang family has a big business, and they want the life of the slave family, where can the slave family escape. Could it be that the slave family went to seek refuge in that black mountain thief of the Raushzi? Is it possible that a weak woman from the slave family went to the wolf's den and still had her life?"
Rong'er cried as she spoke, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, which made people feel distressed. In an instant, everyone's hearts softened, thinking about it carefully, Rong'er's words were right, if Wang Shihao fell, she would not have a good result.
Wang Shihao hurriedly hugged Rong'er to comfort him, raised his head and said:
"It can't be that Rong'er betrayed me, she was brought by me on a temporary basis, and I have never brought a female dependent in business in the past. We are inseparable these days, and the Black Mountain Thieves have no chance of making her an inner ghost. ”
The old housekeeper said with an unkind face: "Master Zhang, this little brother's inference is not reasonable at all, this ghost has not been found, and we are suspicious of each other." ”
Before Zhang Lu could speak, the young man became impatient.
"I'm not done yet, what are you anxious about!"
The young man took the water bladder handed over by Zhang Lu and took a sip, moistening his chapped mouth. To continue:
"After entering this temple, the inner ghost found that there were people inside, especially three soldiers from Pingyang County. Isn't this asking for trouble for the inner ghost? You have to find a way to get out of here, otherwise it will be even more inconvenient to get started. ”
Rong'er began to cry again, and Wang Shihao's face sank and looked at the young man.
"The surnamed Wang saw the soldiers, of course they wouldn't leave. Hmm-I think about it, the inner ghost is short of time, he must end it as soon as possible and get the items, otherwise the Montenegrin thieves are under a lot of pressure and are likely to be attacked by the government.
So I had to take a risk. What kind of means can be used to catch them all quietly?
The inner ghost tried to drug the diet, and the one surnamed Wang was powerless to resist after eating it, and was at the mercy of others. ”
Huang Baozhong questioned: "But several of us suspect that there are internal ghosts, so we won't eat it." If we are all fine, the inner ghost will not be able to succeed and take Wang Dashao away. ”
Zhang Lu understood what he meant.
"There's no need to take it away, the inner ghost escapes directly, as long as you kill the horse and put a signal, I believe that there will be black mountain thieves coming here with the kung fu of Chacha." We couldn't take the unconscious Wang Dashao and dodge their pursuit on foot. ”
The young man said leisurely: "Who has the opportunity to do tricks and feet in the soup?"
This time everyone was staring at the groom, and this soup was made by this guy.
The groom hurriedly shook his hand to defend: "It's not me, it's really not me, the eldest young master is really not me, I'm loyal to you." ”
Unfortunately, the groom is not a beauty, and it does not arouse sympathy at all. They all watched what the young man said, and what the young man said was the Tao, and everyone began to trust his judgment a little.
"If you want to prove that what I said is right, you will know after drinking this bowl of soup. ”
The groom trembled and said, "The soup will not be poisonous, and the housekeeper has tested it with a silver needle." ”
The boy looked up at the sky and did not speak. Wang Shihao ordered the groom with a calm face: "If you want to drink, you will drink." ”
The groom was bitter and unwilling to drink, and when he saw the beggar, he shouted:
"To see if this medicine is poisonous, just let this little beggar drink it. ”
When the beggar heard this, he was so frightened that he ran behind the young man, not daring to show his head. Zhang Lu frowned, and Huang Baozhong also showed disgust.
The young man smiled evilly: "Why, you don't want to drink it, do you know that there is medicine in it, and you are afraid that you will not be able to run away after being exposed, so you can only wait to be captured?"
"No, no, no, it's not like that," the groom tensed, and his tongue began to knot.
The housekeeper got angry: "Do you have a ghost in your heart? If you don't drink, it means that you are an inner ghost." The military master tied him up. ”
"I drink, I drink, don't catch me, I'm not an inner ghost. The groom shuddered and drank a bowl of soup.
Everyone watched the groom's reaction quietly, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the groom to start staggering and fall to the ground.
Wang Shihao was furious: "Sure enough, it's him, this eats what you climb outside, and wants to murder your master, it's really damned." "If you go up, you will kick him.
The housekeeper was puzzled: "It's really weird, I have obviously tested it myself before, how can I be fascinated now?"
Looking at the forest and the pillars, they are about to go up and tie people up. The teenager stopped them.
"Don't worry, I didn't say that the inner ghost was him. ”
"What, he's not?" Lin Zi was surprised. "Then why did you let him drink that bowl of soup?"
"I'm just using him to validate my judgment. The boy pouted.
"I looked back and found that the role of this inner ghost is very important. Whether the Montenegrin thieves can succeed depends on whether the inner ghost can succeed. The Montenegrin thieves can't be taken by force, but if the one surnamed Wang runs into Pingyang County, the Montenegrin thieves can only return with a feather.
Therefore, the inner ghost must succeed before this. Through a series of performances of the Black Mountain Thieves, it can be seen that they have high hopes for this inner ghost and believe that he can complete it.
This is not something that ordinary people can do. I guessed one possibility. The boy held up a finger.
"The inner ghost may also be a Montenegrin thief!"
The temple was silent, and they all seemed to be stunned. This possibility was too terrifying, and I shuddered at the thought of having a cruel and evil Black Mountain thief by my side.
Wang Shihao had already run to Zhang Lu's side and asked in a panic, "That...... Who the hell is that?" he felt that there was no one to trust, and there were Montenegrin thieves everywhere.
"That's where I wondered. ”
The boy frowned, as if he couldn't figure it out.
"I used to think that the inner ghost was this woman, but from the moment she came in, I felt that something was wrong and kept watching her. ”
The young man said to her seriously: "First of all, I have to admit that I lied to you before, and you have nothing to do with beauty at all." Then, curiously, I asked you a question, how old are you?"
Rong'er's face instantly became quite ugly, and she asked the young man through gritted teeth.
"You...... How do you see that?"
Everyone was stunned, Rong'er looked like a young woman of one or twenty years old?
"Look at your appearance, you have to say fifty or sixty, right?" said the young man scoffing.
"It's just relying on incomplete charms and lewd incense to charm others. Do you know how much perseverance it took me to keep myself from throwing up when you asked me how beautiful you were. It's so hard for me. The boy continued to speak venomously.
Rong'er's face was already purple with anger, trembling and speechless. Wang Shihao couldn't believe that the concubine who accompanied him to sing every night turned out to be an old woman.
"You—you," Wang Shihao pointed angrily at Rong'er. He was so disgusted that he wanted to die, and he felt that he would definitely not lift it for the rest of his life.
The boy no longer paid attention to Rong'er, but continued:
"Zhang Lu told me that the Montenegrin thieves are all men, and there will be no women in them. So that old witch is definitely not a Montenegrin thief, then it will only be you - the housekeeper.
So the question is, the housekeeper is an inner ghost, who are you, old witch?"
Smack-smack-smack-
The butler applauded and said with admiration:
"It's amazing, a hero out of a teenager. I thought I was perfectly hidden, but I didn't want to find out anyway. You're right, I'm an inner ghost and a Montenegrin thief. She is the helper we hired - Aunt Rong.
I answered your question, and now it's time for me to ask you. The housekeeper smiled.
"Boy, I don't know what to call it?"
"My name, Tianchen. ”
