Chapter three hundred and three pick people to murder.
"Be careful at night and don't sleep too hard. If there are ghosts, they will definitely kill you." Li Xiuyuan reminded the guards around him.
"Young master, it's not that scary," Ma Dong said in shock.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Who knows, maybe they are just a few wandering ghosts, or maybe they are evil demons entrenched here. I can't find them now. How can I judge easily? I have to restrain my breath to lure them out, otherwise
If the evil here is not solved, more people will definitely die. Just be more vigilant. If there are ghosts, I will solve them."
He never expected the guards around him to be able to slay demons, but he did need some help around him for some things, so he had to take them with him.
Several people nodded, feeling a bit uneasy in their hearts.
However, while a few people were chatting, a few more guests came to the hotel, a couple of hawkers who went to Jinling City to sell goods, a middle-aged man, wearing a long gown, he looked like a scholar, but his fame should not be high, he didn't
Something that showed his official status. The other person was a policeman who had traveled a lot and didn't know what kind of errands he was out on.
Several people came to the hotel one after another, making this originally unpopular hotel suddenly become more popular.
The shopkeeper didn't recruit any waiters, so he did all the work in the store by himself, and he was quite busy by himself.
"Young Master, do you want to remind them about this hotel?" Ma Dong asked in a low voice.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "It's rare for this shopkeeper to do business. As soon as we tell them, they will all go out. And it's dark now. These people have no access to a village and no shop. It will be even more dangerous for them to leave Lehe here to live in the wild.
Forget it, no need to remind you."
He felt that since he was here, ghosts should not be able to harm anyone.
On the contrary, it is hard to say whether these people would have an accident if they spent a day in the wilderness.
"Let's go, go and have a rest after dinner." Li Xiuyuan stood up and said.
Everyone prepared to go to the room to rest.
At this time, the middle-aged scholar suddenly called out to Li Xiuyuan: "Brother, would you please stay? My surname is Wang. I just saw my brother and he seemed familiar. I was hesitant. I dared to ask. I dare to ask you.
Candidates who took the imperial examination in Guo Beicheng a few months ago?"
"Oh, I took the scholar's exam, didn't you know you were?" Li Xiuyuan, who was about to leave, replied.
He saw this middle-aged scholar and thought about it for a moment, but he couldn't help but wonder where he had seen him before.
Wang Sheng said with a smile: "I was also one of the candidates that day. When I entered the examination room that day, I met my brother. I saw my brother's outstanding appearance and majestic appearance, so I felt admiration for him. I will never forget it. I never thought that today
We’ll meet you here.”
It turned out to be one of my test friends.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I have a good memory for just one step, and I can actually remember the one-on-one relationship."
"Haha, I'm not good at writing down books, but my ability at writing down people is quite good. This time I heard from the Yamen that the imperial examination results were announced in Jinling City. Because of the flood and plague a while ago, I changed it.
We have found a place, and I am preparing to go to Jinling City to take a look at the list to see if there is any scholar selected this time." Wang Sheng said with a smile, looking very much looking forward to it.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and saw that he must be in his thirties at this age, but he had not yet passed the scholar examination.
No wonder the ancients have a saying, that is, learn until you are old and take exams until you are old.
Being a scholar is just the starting point for a scholar. He starts to have some privileges as a scholar. But if you want to be an official, you must at least pass the imperial examination, which means that a scholar can take the next step.
It's just that the exam for candidates is much more difficult than the exam for scholars. With the ability of Wang Tongsheng in front of him, he is probably no more than a scholar at best.
Because people are old and no longer have so much energy to take part in the imperial examination.
Moreover, his ability has reached its limit, and Ford can only support him to this point.
The two met by chance and chatted with each other for a few words. They became familiar with each other. Wang Sheng also wanted to invite Li Xiuyuan to drink with him, but Li Xiuyuan politely refused.
I have something to do in the evening, so how can I go drinking?
After making an excuse, he said goodbye to Wang Sheng and went back to his room to rest.
"This scholar obviously only met the eldest young master once, but he dragged the eldest young master to invite you to drink. I'm afraid he is unkind." Wu Fei touched his bald head and grinned.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't have any other ideas. Wang Sheng must have known that he had no hope of taking the imperial examination, so he kept a wide network of contacts so that I could help him one day when I became a senior official. This is not something to be despised. Among scholars,
It’s very common in circles.”
He is still young, and he has passed the scholar examination now. It will not be difficult to pass the imperial examination or Jinshi in the future. He indeed has potential worthy of investment.
Soon, it was getting dark, and people in the inn fell asleep one after another.
However, the shopkeeper did not go back to his room to rest. Instead, he lay down in front of the counter and lit an oil lamp to guard the shop. I wonder if he already knew that there might be ghosts in this inn, so he did not dare to sleep so peacefully.
When the night gets darker and the hotel becomes silent.
A strange gust of wind suddenly blew up in the lobby of the store, causing the oil lamp placed on the cabinet to whistle.
The shopkeeper, who was sleeping on the counter, seemed to be fast asleep and didn't feel anything at all.
At this time, a few whispering voices sounded in the hotel. Although the voices were small, they were clearly audible in the extremely quiet environment, like rats and insects chattering, and like people in the ear.
Whisper.
"A lot of people came to the hotel today. I counted nine people. It's really a rare occasion."
"The three of us happened to choose one to murder, so we don't have to rob like last time."
It turned out that three fierce ghosts were entrenched in the inn, discussing how to murder people.
"How about the young man in the first room? He looks weak and can be bullied? I think he is a target for attack." A fierce ghost said.
"That won't work. That young master is dressed in rich clothes. It can be seen that he is a master from a wealthy family. We will be in trouble if we kill him."
The first ghost said again: "There are guards from the young master in the second and third rooms. Can we go and murder them?"
"This is even worse. There is a bald man in the second room. He is an executioner. He has chopped off the heads of more than a hundred people. He has even killed the county magistrate. Are he still afraid of us? The two men in the third room.
They carry willow sticks around their waists and specialize in beating fierce ghosts. We might be beaten to death by them if we go there." Another fierce ghost hurriedly refused.
"What about the policeman in the fourth room?" the fierce ghost asked again.
The third ghost shook his head and said: "That's not possible. The messenger usually bullies, extorts, and uses his authority to murder several lives. This time he escorted mortals to be distributed, but in the end he did not send them away.
When we go to the border, we kill mortals halfway along the way. We'd better not provoke such a vicious messenger, otherwise it would be bad if he attacks us violently and hacks us apart."
"Then the middle-aged scholar in the fifth room should be able to murder him," the first ghost said again.
"This one can be murdered. He is just a boy. This time the test paper was tainted and he did not even pass the exam. There will be no chance to take the exam again in the future. Moreover, there is no gorgeous article light above his head. He is much worse than the scholar who checked in last time.
That scholar's illuminated ceiling illuminated the entire hotel, so that we didn't even dare to enter. But there was only a black smoke above this scholar's head, and there were only dozens of scriptures and more than a hundred articles in the black smoke.
That's all, they are all clichés, things that misinterpret the meaning of the sages, and are not even qualified to shine a light."
"Then the hawker couple in the sixth room can be murdered?" the first ghost asked again.
"This one can also be murdered. The couple are just ordinary people with no power and no splendid culture. Such people are the most weak and easy to bully. We can harm their lives." Another fierce ghost said.
The three fierce ghosts discussed it carefully and decided to murder Wang Sheng and the hawker couple.
The reason for not murdering Li Xiuyuan was not because he saw through Li Xiuyuan's identity, but because he saw that Li Xiuyuan was gorgeously dressed and had a good family background, so he did not dare to provoke people from wealthy families.
Instead of trying to kill Wu Fei, Ma Dong and the other four guards were afraid of their abilities and thought they couldn't fight.
If you don't murder the messenger, you are afraid of his ruthlessness and viciousness.
After the three fierce ghosts finished their discussion, they turned into a cold ghost aura and flew towards Wang Sheng who lived in the fifth room of the hotel and the hawker couple in the sixth room.
Just one chapter today, and I will make up for it tomorrow. I got an injection, and I feel sleepy and can’t stand it anymore.
