"Leave quickly and don't stay near the ancestral hall for a long time." The housekeeper ordered aloud.
He looked at the several flustered servants with a solemn expression:
"What I saw just now, I kept it in my stomach. If anyone tells anyone, those two little girls will be your fate."
"Understood, we must keep our mouths shut. Even if the sky falls, we will not tell the slightest bit."
The servant who knocked out the two little girls before said quickly.
Hearing this, the housekeeper nodded, quite satisfied with these words:
"It's best that way."
After saying that, they left the ancestral hall.
The gloomy ancestral hall made people's hair stand on end, and they did not dare to stay for a long time. The old locust tree growing next to the ancestral hall had overgrown branches. When it was blown by the wind, it opened its teeth and claws, looking like a fierce ghost playing with its sharp claws.
The ancestral hall was dark, the two little maids were unconscious, and the spiritual tablets inside the ancestral hall exuded a cold feeling.
On the beams, the looming feet swayed gently in the darkness, which was terrifying and strange.
…
"How is the situation? Have you found the ghost?" In the luxurious hall of the city lord's palace, a numb-looking middle-aged man looked at the two people wearing rat embroidered clothes next to him and asked.
"Found it, we are testing the murder pattern." A slightly thinner man among the two said.
His expression was numb and cold, and his body exuded a coldness, which gave people an ominous feeling at first glance.
"Process it as soon as possible. My emperor is celebrating his birthday. As a place where the rivers converge, Yongye City cannot allow ghosts to cause trouble at this time." The middle-aged man said.
"We understand." They both said at the same time.
"By the way, what's the situation in Taiyuan City? I heard that several Chenlong guards died in Chenlong Division. They seemed to be killed by three people in strange clothes. All the ghosts on their bodies were taken away. How is this happening now?
?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.
"Reporting to the Secretary, this is indeed true. Four people from the Chenlong Division died. They were all killed in the wilderness. The ghosts on their bodies were not recovered and were suspected to have been taken away."
"Currently, Chenlong Division has issued a wanted order and offered a reward for the three thieves. I believe that it won't be long before the daring criminals are captured and brought to justice."
After hearing what his subordinate said, the middle-aged man nodded, not feeling anything wrong in his heart.
The twelve division heads of Yuqian Division are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
None of the twelve division chiefs can be considered human beings. Among them, Zi Shu is the strongest and Hai Zhu is the weakest.
The strongest thing mentioned here is the ability to kill. The rat is the most terrifying in killing people, and the pig is the most terrifying in its ability to save lives.
There is no distinction between them.
Taiyuan City is under the jurisdiction of Chen Long. If someone kills someone from Chen Long Division, according to Chen Long's temper, the perpetrator will probably be hung on the city wall in the near future.
"What's going on in the capital? I heard from Chou Niu that a big red coffin appeared in Prince Ping's Mansion in Kyoto. Its appearance made all the ghosts in Kyoto hide. So far, Chou Niu has been unable to enter Prince Ping's Mansion, just because
That coffin, what happened? Have you investigated clearly?" The middle-aged man turned his eyes slightly to look at the two people and asked.
Hearing this question, the two rat guards were somewhat silent. After a while, one of them spoke:
"Reporting to the Chief, my subordinates have not investigated this matter clearly. We cannot penetrate too much into the matter in Kyoto, so we do not know the specific reason for this matter."
"My subordinate is incompetent, I hope the commander will forgive me!"
The two of them knelt on the ground directly, looking extremely respectful.
The middle-aged man frowned. He looked at the two of them with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Okay, I don't blame you for this. The place in Kyoto is already strict, and the ugly cow is in Kyoto. It's normal that you can't infiltrate."
"Get up and tell me to go down. The Lord of the City will start the examination of the imperial department in advance and ask the merchants of the major families to prepare people and send them to the Lord of the City within three days." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said casually.
"I understand, I will go down and inform you immediately." They both said at the same time.
"Okay, go down and do your own thing as soon as possible." The middle-aged man said.
"My subordinates excuse themselves." The two of them said this and quickly stood up and left.
The middle-aged man looked at the backs of the two people with a calm expression. No one knew what this man, who was the imperial minister and the lord of Yongye City, was thinking.
Even close friends are the same.
"It won't be a problem for my son to subdue that ghost, as long as there are enough handsome men. That ghost's killing method is really strange. It only kills good-looking men..."
“Thankfully my son’s appearance is only average, otherwise where would I find a man who is more handsome than him?”
The middle-aged man chuckled, using people to pave the road, and then subduing and controlling the ghosts. This kind of thing can be seen everywhere in the country.
Not surprising.
The middle-aged man took a sip of tea, his eyes became dark, and he stood up and walked to his study.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
…
"Brother Lin, how are you feeling today? Isn't the scenery of Yongye River beautiful?"
On the way back to Liu Mansion, Liu Yun was very happy beside Lin Qian.
She pretended to be very good. The longer she stayed with Lin Qian, the better Liu Yun's acting skills became.
I have to admit that ladies from wealthy families are very scheming.
"Well, it's very beautiful. Of course, the scenery is beautiful, but it's not half as good as Yun'er." Lin Qian said with a smile.
Acting requires a complete performance, and now he is acting like a young boy who is confused by the knowledge and beauty of everyone's ladies.
This character has not collapsed yet, and Lin Qian feels that her acting skills are very good.
"Brother Lin, you know how to say nice things." Liu Yun lowered her head, looking a little shy.
Brother Lin smiled, said some nice words casually, and put it off.
Returning to Liu Mansion, Lin Qian returned to his own scenery accompanied by Liu Yun.
I didn't eat lunch with them, it was brought by a servant.
After eating lunch, Lin Qian stayed in the house by herself and did not go out for a walk.
Sitting at the desk, Lin Qian looked at himself in the bronze mirror. The gauze on his head hindered his appearance.
Recalling everything he encountered this morning, Lin Qian was a little silent. He knew where this place was and what the department that dealt with supernatural events was.
But Lin Qian still had no idea about finding the Starving Ghost and the Creepy Bride next.
This is very troublesome...
"I don't know where the long sword is. I walked outside all morning today and found nothing unusual. Except for the pawnshop owner who died tragically, it seems to be very peaceful in Yongye City."
"The Gozenji's ability to deal with evil spirits is really interesting."
Lin Qian looked out the window. There was still more than an hour, or two hours, at most until dark.
Lin Qian's eyes were deep: "Go out and take a look at night, maybe you can see some clues."
Ghost activities generally occur day and night, but the chance of abnormality is greatest at night.
This seems to be a law.
The night came soon, and the dinner was still delivered. The eldest lady Liu Yun was eager to greet her, as if she was caring about her lover.
If Lin Qian hadn't known what was going on, she would have thought she fell in love with him at first sight.
"The big family's plan is really rash. I don't know how Liu Quan got into the position of head of the family."
Lin Qian stood on the roof, looking at the lights in the darkness, thinking like this.
The Liu Mansion was very quiet at night. The servants turned off the lights very early and went to bed. Except for Liu Quan's study, which was still lit, the rest were in darkness.
Lin Qian touched the back of his head and looked in a direction. There was a gloomy atmosphere there, and the branches and leaves on the old locust tree made people feel extremely ominous.
That should be the ancestral hall, the darkness seemed unusual even in the dark.
"So it turns out that the family has strong ghosts, which affects some of their IQs." When she saw the ancestral hall, Lin Qian had a rough idea of what the situation was.
It's normal for someone to be mentally slowed down by being slowly affected by the supernatural being after being away from the evil ghost for such a long time.
Lin Qian walked on the roof, his steps were light and he didn't make any movement. It was so convenient for him to master martial arts.
Quickly turning out of Liu's Mansion, Lin Qian walked on the street, looked at the lanterns hanging on the porch of Liu's Mansion, and smiled, her eyes filled with chills.
The figure disappeared into the darkness and disappeared into the alley.
In a charity village, lit candles reflected on the dark coffin.
In the red shimmer, two people were walking between the coffins.
"This guy died really miserably. Half of his body has not been found yet." One person looked inside an open coffin and said in wonder.
There was a person lying inside the coffin, half a person to be precise, only the upper body but no lower body.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Finish it quickly so you can go home and sleep. Don't you feel intrusive if you stay here?" Another person glanced at his companion and said angrily.
"I know, why worry, just live like this."
The man looked away from the coffin, then closed the coffin lid, walked to a table, and began to color the paper figures on the table.
"Third brother, what do you think has happened recently? People keep dying. A few died not long ago. We haven't found out who killed them until now. Now there's another one. Judging from the situation, I suspect it's possible
It wasn't done by humans." One person said.
"Why are we thinking so much? Is it because people did what we did? Just let the Gozenji worry about this kind of thing. Why should we worry so much? Let's get to work quickly. After finishing this, I will go to Cuixianlou for a drink.
"The person who was called Third Brother looked up at the other person impatiently.
But suddenly his childishness suddenly enlarged, and a sense of despair appeared in his heart.
The coffin was opened, and a man was standing on the coffin, looking directly at the two of them.
The candlelight turned green, a gloom filled the air, and the coldness caused the candlelight to sway.
