Chapter 14: Ghosts

Previously, it was also said that "it is inconvenient for widows to live", and the "old" lady of Bofu, who asked Fang Zhongjin to search the study alone, actually appeared angrily again.

She was obviously dissatisfied with Fang Zhongjin's random wandering around the Bofu, and said that she would take Fang Zhongjin for another lap.

Fang Zhongjin was as good at speaking as he was just now, and said with a smile: "It's all up to the old lady." ”

The old lady of Bofu snorted and took the lead and walked forward.

As soon as the squatting brocade guards heard that this was the last lap, they finally stood up and followed at the end.

This time, the old lady took them only on the main road, and deliberately avoided any roundabout directions.

And Fang Zhongjin followed behind him and did not raise any objections, and soon the circle was over.

At this time, the old lady turned her head, and said with an angry face like ice: "The old man has already taken Lord Fang to visit the Bofu carefully, but now he is really weak, please forgive Lord Fang." ”

Unexpectedly, Fang Zhongjin was still very good at speaking, he saluted the old lady of Bofu and said, "There is old lady Lao." I've already seen the places that the official should be looking at today, so I'll leave first. ”

The old lady's face softened a little at this time, and said, "The old body is inconvenient to send it far away, please forgive me." ”

Fang Zhongjin shook his head with a smile, and took Ji Changan and his subordinates all the way out of the Bofu mansion.

It wasn't until after leaving the main gate that Fang Zhongjin turned back to look at the house that looked a little old.

Ji Chang'an had long sensed that Fang Zhongjin was different today, he lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

Fang Zhongjin hugged his chest with one hand and held his chin with the other and said, "It's not certain yet." Let's take another walk!"

As he spoke, he turned over and got on his horse, and Ji Changan followed closely, and the two of them walked side by side and began to circle around the outer wall of the Bofu.

This move made the group of brocade guards behind him crazy.

You must know that Fang Zhongjin and Ji Changan, as Shangguan, have horses to ride, but the group of people behind them all came on foot.

Now the Shangguan suddenly rode their horses and trotted, and it seemed that they were going to circle around the Bofu again.

Lu Zhenyuan first spat on the ground. But they still had to trot behind Fang Zhongjin and them.

If this group of people followed Shangguan's errand, and finally "got lost" outside, and let Shangguan ride back to the yamen alone, then this group of people would become a big laughing stock.

Seeing that Fang Zhongjin and Ji Changan really urged the horse to trot and turn around along the outer wall of the Bofu, and the group of brocade guards followed through gritted teeth.

Fortunately, this time Fang Zhongjin no longer deliberately "tossed", and only ran one lap before stopping.

As soon as Ji Changan saw Fang Zhongjin's expression, he knew that he must have some clues at this moment.

Ji Changan couldn't help but lean over and lowered his voice and asked, "How about looking?"

Fang Zhongjin also said softly: "I walked around the Bofu a few times just now, and I always felt that the road arrangement was a little strange.

No matter how you go around, it seems that there is always a part that can't get in.

Now that I have circled around their outer walls, I have concluded that according to the size of the outer walls, there must be a large courtyard in the Bofu that we have never entered. ”

Ji Chang'an's eyes also lit up, and he asked, "Could it be that Bofu itself is weird?"

In the past, when they investigated the case, they really only considered the aspect of foreign enemies, but they found nothing.

If it turned out to be the ghost of Bofu itself, maybe he could really solve the case immediately.

Fang Zhongjin shook his head again and said, "Although there are strange things in the uncle's mansion, it can't be confirmed that it is the cause of the uncle's death. ”

Then he stopped talking, and slowly drove his horse back in the direction of the yamen.

After Fang Zhongjin arrived at the flower hall, he asked his subordinates to go back to rest.

He himself was alone at his large desk looking through the past files.

It had been a while since Ryan Boheng died, and at that time, in order to track down the results, the uncle's body was not buried for a long time.

The uncle had already died a terrible death, and he had been out for so long, and he was finally buried under the bitter pleading of the old lady.

It is now impossible to get the coffin back up for an autopsy.

Fortunately, at that time, all kinds of clues for the examination of the corpse had been recorded one by one and compiled into a book.

Fang Zhongjin couldn't look through the corpse, so he looked through the autopsy transcript alone in front of the table.

This look turned out to be late at night, and it wasn't until the moon was in the middle of the sky that Fang Zhongjin stopped the case file in his hand.

In the dead of night, Fang Zhongjin did not return to the house, but changed into a dark night shirt and trousers, and quietly came to the courtyard wall of the Bofu again.

This time, he traveled lightly and alone.

Climbing over the wall is already Fang Zhongjin's old business, and I saw him turn over and walk around the eaves of Bofu in the middle of the night. The footsteps are soft and silent, and they will never alarm any person in the Bofu.

At this time, there were only a few lanterns lit in the corners. Most of the houses were already in the dark of night.

Fang Zhongjin followed the direction of his memory and found the moon cave door that he had passed through many times.

It is the layout of this place that is quite strange, and Fang Zhongjin is now in mid-air, and his vision is even broader.

Sure enough, I found that behind a deliberately dense bamboo forest, there was a place that I had never entered.

Fang Zhongjin pointed at the bamboo tips and ran towards the dense darkness.

Sure enough, after passing through the entire bamboo forest, he landed gently in an empty courtyard.

This courtyard is located in the middle of the Bofu, and it is a wooden house except for an empty courtyard without potted plants.

Completely different from the carvings on the outside, this wooden house is as simple as the peasant's habitation.

The widowed lady who still has the charm actually secretly hides such a hole in the Bofu.

Fang Zhongjin couldn't guess what this courtyard was trying to hide, and he couldn't be sure whether it had anything to do with Ryanburgh's tragic death.

Fortunately, Fang Zhongjin is a master of boldness, and with his own body, he can easily get out even if there are any traps.

Fang Zhongjin was now in the middle of the courtyard, and he took advantage of the moonlight to walk towards the wooden house step by step.

There were no lights in this wooden house, and Fang Zhongjin didn't even feel popular. It really seems to be an empty wooden house.

But if the old lady of Bofu can be so nervous, then there must be something strange in it.

Fang Zhongjin walked to the door step by step, opened his ears again and listened carefully, but still didn't hear any voice.

He pulled the doorknob, but it was unlocked.

When Fang Zhongjin walked into the house, he just wanted to take advantage of the moonlight outside to look for the candlestick, but suddenly heard a squeak behind him, and the door of the house was automatically closed without wind.

Fang Zhongjin's expression was clear, the door of the house would never be windless, but he really didn't hear any human voices.

It is said that with his martial arts, he will never miss the breath of the living.

Could it be that the secret hidden by the old lady of Bofu in this wooden house turned out to be a ghost?
