The yamen servants tied up Xiao Erlang together. The Xiao family dared to make trouble in front of the outsider Man Bao, but they did not dare to make a move in front of the yamen servants.
At this moment, the neighbors who came to join in the fun also saw Xiao Erlang's face, and couldn't help but comment, "He is really a child of the Xiao family."
"Is it their house that has been haunted in the past two years?"
"This is really immoral. If the second son of the family made it deliberately, why didn't you say anything? My family doesn't dare to go out at night, not even to go to the toilet."
"Who would have thought that Xiao Erlang would have such a problem?"
"It's fake. He looked quite normal before. I've never heard of him being crazy. And why haven't I seen him crazy before? Did he become crazy only after the Yan family was raided?"
Xiao Erlang cried bitterly and begged for mercy in various ways. When he found that it didn't work, he quickly exposed Man Bao and the others, "I'm not the only one pretending to be a ghost, they are also pretending to be a ghost."
Man Bao denied: "No, we were hiding in the firewood pile to catch ghosts. It was you who thought we were ghosts."
Bai Shanbao: "Yes, you have a guilty conscience. Who is to blame?"
"No, you are obviously wearing white clothes like me and your hair is disheveled. You are deliberately pretending to be a ghost to scare people."
Man Bao said: "How many days have we moved here? We are going to catch ghosts, and you are the only fake ghost in the alley. Where is there anyone?"
Bai Shanbao touched his chin and said, "I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. We were hiding in the firewood pile at that time, but we didn't see you coming out of your house. You suddenly appeared at the end of the alley. Where did you come from?"
from?"
Xiao Erlang was so frightened that he immediately stopped talking, and the Xiao family did not dare to move.
With this performance, not to mention Bai Shanbao and the others, even the neighbors could tell that something was wrong.
Seeing that they had not been able to explain clearly until now, and refused to admit to many crimes, the yamen officer couldn't help but pick up a whip and give Xiao Erlang a whip, and asked: "Tell me, where did you come from?"
Xiao Erlang was dripping with cold sweat and was too frightened to speak.
Man Bao said: "The end of the alley is the wall of the Yan family. You didn't get out of the Yan family, right?"
Xiao Erlang almost knelt on the ground.
As soon as everyone saw it, they immediately turned around to go to the end of the alley to have a look. The old lady of the Xiao family immediately cried: "Erlang is a madman. How can you take anything that a madman does seriously..."
Xiao Erlang was trembling all over, "Mother——"
Bai Shanbao gave Xiao Erlang a sympathetic look and said to him: "If you bear this crime alone, it must be very heavy. If you share it, you may get a lighter sentence. After all, there is a saying that the law does not punish the public.
"
Bai Erlang: Is this how the law does not blame everyone?
And there are only so many people in their family, so that’s a lot of people?
Man Bao simply ignored them and ran out. She was particularly interested in Xiao Erlang appearing out of nowhere.
Many people followed with torches and wooden sticks to join in the fun, and Zhou Lang naturally followed her. The brother and sister were the first to go to where Xiao Erlang was burning paper money.
There were still some unburned paper money and paper ashes on the ground. When everyone saw it, they believed what Man Bao and the others said even more.
A little further from the fire was the wall of the Yan family. Man Bao came up to take a look. Someone came forward with a torch, so everyone saw some stones scattered on the ground and a big hole at the bottom of the wall.
Everyone:......
The yamen officer pushed aside the people and came up to take a look. As soon as he saw the hole, he quickly pulled out his knife, pointed at the Xiao family and asked, "Who are you?"
A yamen servant shouted: "The remnants of the Yan family?"
The crowd dispersed instantly, revealing the Xiao family.
The Xiao family was trembling, but Old Man Xiao finally spoke. He knelt on the ground and said, "Master, our family has lived in the city for generations, and our neighbors can all testify."
"Yes, yes, this is a member of the Xiao family."
"Don't worry about it, tie it up first," the leader of the government officials made a quick decision and took out the rope to arrest the person.
When Xiao Dalang saw this, he got up from the ground and turned around to run. A government official kicked him in the leg and kicked him down. He immediately hit him hard on the back with the back of a knife and pinned him down.
The yamen servant was very angry and shouted: "Where is Li Zheng? Go and find Li Zheng!"
A yamen servant shouted: "Although the Jin law does not sit together, if you help the prisoner escape, you will be guilty!"
They are just government servants on night watch. There are only three people in each team. One is holding Xiao Erlang in the yard. There are only two people here. With so many people from the Xiao family, if they really want to run away, they may not be able to catch them.
So I can only threaten them first.
When the neighbors heard this, they immediately took a few steps back for fear of being involved in this incident.
The two government officials tied up Xiao Dalang, drew out his horizontal sword and said: "If you resist, you will be killed!"
The Xiao family was so frightened that they fell to the ground.
Manbao and the other three were also startled and leaned against the wall without speaking for a long time.
After the two government officials tied up all the Xiao family members and threw them aside, Man Bao raised his little hand and said, "Brother, official officer, I can help you go in and see what's inside."
Yamen A has been interested in them for a long time. Hearing this, he couldn't help but glance at her and said, "You are so brave, aren't you afraid that there is something evil inside?"
"If there was a ghost, would he still dare to come out?" Man Bao said, "Even the ghost that has been haunting us for two years is fake. Obviously there really are no ghosts in this world."
The government officials really wanted to know what was inside the wall, so they grabbed the torch from a neighbor, handed it to Man Bao and said, "Okay, you go."
Man Bao was so happy that he immediately took the torch and climbed inside.
This hole is not small, and it may be difficult for strong adults to climb in, but for teenagers who are only twelve or thirteen years old, it will not be a problem at all.
Manbao stretched the torch in to prevent it from touching the ground, and then used his hands and feet to climb in quickly.
Bai Shanbao followed behind her. Zhoulang, who was lagging behind, saw that Bai Erlang didn't move, so he kicked his butt and said, "Hurry up."
Bai Erlang didn't even come back to his senses, he squatted down and climbed in.
Zhou Lang also slipped in.
Daji stepped back more than ten steps, jumped up quickly, stepped on the wall a few times, then jumped up to the top of the wall and landed, flying into the yard one step ahead of Manbao.
Two Yamen:...
The two looked at each other and had a deeper understanding of the person renting this room.
Man Bao crawled into the yard, looked up, and saw a black figure standing in front of him. He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
She immediately raised the torch to look, and when she saw it was Daji, she couldn't help complaining, "Daji, you have to speak out!"
Daji: "Miss Man."
Then he called to Bai Shanbao who crawled out: "Master."
Bai Shanbao:......
Bai Erlang climbed out and saw Daji, but he felt safe. He got up from the ground and ran to Daji, asking: "Daji, when did you sneak in, why didn't I notice?"
Man Bao and Bai Shanbao walked forward for a while holding torches, and they all said wow, "We finally know why they are pretending to be ghosts."
