Master Dianshi left when he saw the policemen and government officials evacuating the crowd. King Kou passed by Shangqiu City. The city's chief secretary, Cheng Yin, chief secretary and other people had already rushed to greet him, but he spent his time in Shangqiu City.
here, so as soon as he saw the crowd dissipating, he quickly ran towards Cheng Yin's mansion.
"There is no chaos in the city, but I am very active when I am trying to make a fool of myself."
A policeman walked up to Yan Xiaoliu with a tray in his hand, curled his lips, looked at the direction Dian Shi left, and said with disdain.
Yan Xiaoliu, who had been silent at first and was staring at the place where the masked man in white had fallen, was interrupted by the approaching police officer. He coughed lightly and whispered,
"Pay attention to the occasion."
The policeman glanced at the yamen servants around him, lowered his eyes and nodded.
"What did you find?"
"The golden cicada must have shed its shell. All I saw was clothes and a mask. The severed hand and blood stains you mentioned are also gone. Oh, sir! The mask must have been stepped on when the people were running around.
"
"Let me see."
The detective handed over the tray in his hand. On it was a pure white mask with only the eye sockets exposed. At this moment, a crack began to crack from the middle of the mask's forehead, as long as the philtrum of a normal human face.
"Go and ask if anyone has seen anyone wearing this mask near the beggar who ate porridge to death or near the place where the big clock fell in the square."
"yes!"
….
Shangqiu City, Inn
After returning to the inn, the scholar, Han Qiufen and Wang Jiu followed Mr. Wei back to his room.
Lifting the big celadon pot on the table, the scholar turned over the three cups on the table, poured cold water in order, then took the spout away from his mouth and drank. After drinking for a few breaths, he
He put the kettle down happily and shouted happily.
"Hey! I almost died of thirst."
Mr. Wei took a small sip from the water glass in his hand, not knowing what to think about.
Wang Jiu picked up the cigarette rod attached to his waist and started smoking.
There was a glass of water placed in front of Han Qiufen, but he didn't touch it. After pondering for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth.
"That thing is definitely not a human or a demon."
Mr. Wei frowned slightly when he heard Han Qiubin's words but said nothing.
"What is that? A ghost? Oh! By the way! A few days ago, Equinox and I accidentally got lost and went to a strange inn and entered a strange room. We saw more than twenty white masks in the room.
.
Is the one you encountered white, with all kinds of expressions on it, as if it were ripped off a human face?"
The scholar probably heard something about white masks, which reminded him of the white masks he saw again yesterday. At that time, he was like a sparrow about to drown in the swamp, unable to do anything. If in the end
If I hadn't heard the cry of the Chongming bird that warded off evil spirits, I don't know what would have happened. Thinking of this, the scholar couldn't help but shudder.
"No, that's a mask worn by a man in white. His eyes are expressionless and irrelevant." Mr. Wei shook his head slightly, tapped his fingers on the table, and replied.
Han Qiufeng suddenly turned his head and glanced at the scholar. He remembered that when he and the scholar ran out of the small inn in Qingpingfang a few days ago, the scholar also took a mask with him. Later he told himself that he had lost it.
Could it be... that person picked it up...
The scholar noticed Han Qiufen's eyes and shook his head slightly.
Han Qiu Equinox was a little confused as to why he couldn't say anything, but he didn't say much and just turned his head.
"I think it must be a ghost."
"spirits?"
"Ghosts and gods who like to play games, bring dreams into reality, and distort power..."
"Slippery ghost."
Huh? The three people in the room suddenly turned to look at the groom, Wang Jiu, who was sitting and smoking.
"How do you know, Brother Wang, you don't keep a low profile?" The scholar scratched his head and asked curiously.
"The fourth horseman, you seem to have heard something." Wang Jiu, who tapped the red cigarette pot in his hand on the edge of the table and didn't seem to know how shocking his words were, raised his head with a dark red face.
He still had that honest smile on his face.
Everyone knew that this inconspicuous little old man had a secret. Seeing that he didn't want to say more, no one asked anymore and nodded.
"Hey! Let's not talk anymore! Let's go eat!"
The scholar picked up the kettle and poured it into his mouth. After a small stream of water passed through, the scholar put the kettle down unhappily, clapped his hands, and said while walking towards the door.
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading is really easy to use, download it here www. Come and give it a try.]
The other three people in the room just sat and watched him without moving.
The four people looked at each other, and the scholar suddenly became very serious.
"If you don't stand up, I will be embarrassed..."
puff!
Mr. Wei couldn't hold it back. He felt inexplicably amused when he saw the scholar in front of him. The water in his mouth almost splashed out. He touched his beard and then stood up.
"I will report to Yan Captou about this ghost. After dinner, we will go to the inn where you visited during the day."
"Well, you're not angry, are you?"
Seeing the scholar help Mr. Wei open the door, Mr. Wei walked out while talking about arrangements. Wang Jiuchong put the cigarette rod away from his waist and chased after him.
Why didn't he let me say...
What is he trying to cover up...
Han Qiufen stood at the back of the group of people, looking at the scholar from time to time, stroking the hand behind his back with his right thumb and index finger.
"Hey! What are you thinking about? Come on, come on!"
The scholar raised his hand to wave, and urged hurriedly as if he was about to starve to death.
After hearing what the scholar said, Qiu Equinox nodded perfunctorily. When he saw that the scholar had turned around and entered the corridor, he was about to chase after him.
Suddenly his feet stopped, and a few rays of arc light bounced between the two fingers that were rubbing behind him. Han Qiufen's eyes looked steadily towards
The angle between the scholar and the room when he ran out of the corridor.
The sunset light that just hit the wooden door frame,
When the scholar ran out,
After the sun shone on his back,
the reflected shadow,
It moved a bit.

Shangqiu City, Chengyin Mansion
Because the King of Kou and his entourage arrived, Shangqiu City Yin gave up the entire mansion. After asking the King of Kou several times for the banquet and being rejected, he didn't know where he went with his ministers.
The backyard at this time
crunch,
The sound of the wooden door closing softly came. Moji, who had taken off his armor, put on a dark blue robe, and tied his hair with a copper hoop, gently closed the wooden door, and a room was filled with thick smoke and the smell of medicine.
Withdrew from the underground room.
"How is this city guard doing?"
King Kou was dressed in white clothes, with the collar open, one hand on the open and closed inner placket, and a wide-sleeved outer robe draped over his shoulders. His hair was tied up crookedly. He walked out of the inner hall and opened his eyes.
He asked after yawning and blinking his eyes that were a little teary from yawning.
"Back to Your Highness, the injury is fine." Ma Ji raised her hand, bent down and made a bow.
Kou Wangqi waved his hand, "Don't do this nonsense, come to the main hall." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the main hall.
"Your Highness..."
Kou Wangqi, who was walking back, heard the words of the person behind him. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, half hidden by his messy hair, he raised his eyebrows and replied in a somewhat uncertain tone.
"It won't happen again."
Looking at the back of His Highness King Kou, Ma Ji was stunned and forgot to respond respectfully.
This time I made a lot of noise, and my actions were not measured. I was so anxious that I didn't think about anything...
If I kill this city guard...
Looking at the figure hidden in the warm light of dusk, Moji suddenly felt that everything in front of him seemed to be foam after being washed with soap powder.
So fragile...
I almost broke it myself.
The servants in the yard have begun to change candle lights, and the drowsy evening light just now has slowly disappeared.
Ma Ji stood in the middle of the yard and muttered, "Father..."
"Mengnan, you grew up with His Highness Qi, and our whole family was on his boat.
He is the helmsman and we are the sailors,
You must learn to endure the waves of the sea, the bandits of the sea,
There is also the unreasonable and unpredictable weather,
Just be sure to remember,
It can be waves, gangsters, or unpredictable changes that capsize the boat.
