"Then how did you become the prefect of Ningguo Prefecture?"

After hearing this, Li Pu was a little confused. If Lin Qin was working as a ghost in the mountains, how could he get to Ningguo Mansion?

When Lin Qin saw Li Pu asking, he continued.

"Once, the villain accidentally led a person into the tiger demon's mouth. The villain found a court appointment letter on his body. After some inspection, he found out that this person was the new magistrate of Ningguo Mansion.

[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

The tiger demon cast a magic spell and let the villain enter the Ningguo Mansion with the altered letter, and became a master. Everyone thought that I was not involved in the fraud, but instead became the prefect of the Ningguo Mansion as a blessing in disguise."

"That's the case. Then why does this tiger demon appear under your mansion?"

"Because the tiger demon is ravaging the stone mountain, and we are helping him do it, no one dares to go there, and meat is becoming increasingly scarce. The tiger demon made me the prefect, built this mansion, and dug a cave for it under the mansion. The villain said:

The people who earned money were brought into the house as handymen, and they were lured into the cave at night to feed on the blood of tiger demons. One or two evil spirits were often released, making the people think that the Lin Mansion was haunted and not doubt that he was there."

Li Pu looked at the expressionless Lin Qin and couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Qin got caught in a eucalyptus and was eaten by a tiger demon. After being eaten by the tiger demon, she turned to the tiger demon to seek blood food for her. She even did not hesitate to feed the tiger demon her own son.

"go in."

A burst of dark green light flashed, and all the ghosts in the cave entered the lantern.

Li Pu looked back at the tiger demon's body, shook his head, and walked upward.

………

It had been more than three days since they left Ningguo Mansion, but that day Li Pu and Ning Caichen were walking on a mountain road.

There are many woods in the mountains, and there is a stream deep in the forest. The stream flows down the mountain and merges into a depression. The water in the depression is so clear that fish swim in the air and the water is like a mirror.

When Li Pu saw this, he became very interested and took out a pole to fish in the depression.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night, and the house was empty.

"Brother Geng, promise me you won't go fishing anymore, okay?"

Ning Caichen walked behind Li Pu, so hungry that his eyes were dim.

Li Pu was a little embarrassed when he heard what Ning Caichen said, but then he was filled with indignation.

"If you don't smell the bait when you see it, if you don't eat the bait, there must be an evil spirit at work to ruin my good deeds. I will let it go today, but I will definitely subdue it someday!"

When Ning Caichen saw what Li Pu said, he could only look at Li Pu silently.

Li Pu looked a little embarrassed, so he turned around and walked on silently.

The two set out from Ningguo Mansion, carrying three days of food. They should have arrived at Shangwu Town at the foot of Shangwu Mountain.

But because Li Pu wanted to fish, he was delayed for a long time. The food was gone, but there was no fish to eat.

But as a fisherman, Li Pu was too embarrassed to jump into the water, so he had to do it with nothing.

The main reason is because Ning Caichen is by his side...

If Ning Caichen wasn't here today, he would have to bite the hook today, even if he didn't bite!

The two of them walked in the dark in the mountains, but they didn't know how long they walked. The mountainous road was rugged, and it was already dark, so Ning Caichen walked slower and slower.

I don't know how long I walked before I walked out of Shangwu Mountain. It was already late at night, and it was pitch dark under the mountain, but there was still a light on in one place.

If you have the Tao, you will not choose a road when you are in a hurry; you will not choose food when you are hungry; you will not choose a wife when you are poor.

Ning Caichen walked for a day on an empty stomach and was already exhausted. He didn't care about anything else. He just wanted to find a family to beg for some food.

Li Pu didn't want to go, but he noticed something and followed Ning Caichen towards that house.

When Ning Caichen got closer, he realized that the light came from a large courtyard. At first glance, the courtyard looked like a wealthy family, but at this moment, whimpering sounds could be heard coming from it.

Upon seeing this, Li Pu stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a middle-aged man opened the door and saw Ning Caichen and Li Pu standing in front of the door and asked.

"I wonder what the two of you are doing?"

"Oh, we have just come down from this mountain, and we have been delayed for some time for some reason. Now that it is getting late, our stomach is bloated and we are very hungry and thirsty, like burning fire. I wonder if you can allow us to stay here for one night. I will wait for you early tomorrow morning.

Then leave."

Seeing Ning Caichen's exhausted look, the man responded.

A servant was asked to take Li Pu and Ning Caichen to rest, and some food was also sent to them.

When Ning Caichen saw the food on the table, he couldn't hold it back and started eating.

Li Pu just took a bite and stopped eating. He just closed his eyes and listened to the sounds outside the window.

Deep in the courtyard, sobbing could be heard constantly. Others might not be able to hear it, but Li Pu heard it very clearly.

Li Pu didn't ask any questions, and just slept with his clothes on.

Early the next morning, Li Pu walked out of the room and saw a group of servants and maids packing clothes and gold and silver items.

The middle-aged man who opened the door last night was walking back and forth among the servants, telling the servants to clean up carefully and not to miss anything.

Seeing Li Pu walking out, the man stepped forward and hugged his fists.

"The chores at home have disturbed my brother, I hope you can see Haihan."

Li Pu also hugged the man's fists, and then pointed at the many servants coming in and out and said.

"I think this mansion is simple and elegant. It must have been the ancestral home for many years. I wonder why it was moved today?"

The middle-aged man saw Li Pu asking, looked at the many servants, and sighed.

"Well, I see that my brother's appearance is not that of ordinary people, so I won't hide it from him."

It turns out that this family's surname is Xie, and this middle-aged man's last name only has the character "Qing". Although his family has never been rich, it is still a wealthy family in this town.

Poetry and etiquette have always been passed down to the family, and the family members are harmonious and do good deeds. They are a well-known and kind family in the neighborhood.

But recently, for some unknown reason, a dark shadow always appears in my home.

Xie Qing thought he was a thief at first and didn't take it seriously. He just ordered his servants to keep a close watch on him.

But he never thought that more than half a month later, a servant died in the courtyard.

Xie Qing thought it was a thief who was caught stealing and fled with murder, so he quickly went to the Yamen to report the crime.

When the police officer saw that nothing valuable was missing from Xie Qing's house, he didn't take it seriously. It was just a servant's life, and these officials didn't bother to take care of it.

Only Xie Qing felt something was wrong. From then on, he stipulated that only two people could go together when visiting the mansion at night. The matter seemed to have ended like this until a month ago.

One of the two servants traveling with him was killed, and the other was seriously injured. The seriously injured man just kept talking about evil spirits.

Later, even though he found a doctor and healed the man's injury, he still had a stupid problem. Once someone talked to him, he would push the person away and keep talking about ghosts and other things.

Xie Qing became increasingly uneasy, so he led his people to ambush the house all day long.

It wasn't until the night before yesterday that they finally saw the man who killed two servants.

At this point, Xie Qing's face was full of fear. He paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether it was appropriate to say it. After thinking about it for a while, he continued.
