the emperor's man catches ghosts

"emperor……"

As soon as Yuan Zhan saw Yun Yu, he rolled down from the bed and wanted to salute, Yun Yu helped him back and said, "I've told you so many times that you don't need to salute, the most important thing is to heal your wounds."

Yuan Zhan was terrified and fearful but did not dare to disobey, Nuo Da was a man so tight that his ears turned red.

Yun Yu handed the sesame seed cake to him, took one and gnawed on it himself, seeing Xiao Changli still standing there, said: "Master Xiao, this condescending person, is there anything else to do?"

Xiao Changli said: "This place is rough, please return to the county government office with the young master to live temporarily."

Yun Yu smiled: "Is your county government office a good place? I heard that it is haunted since I came here."

Xiao Changli said: "The ghosts in the county government office have been cleared away, so you can rest assured." After glancing at Yuan Zhan, he said again, "Although the county government office is simple and simple, there are still a few rough envoys and servants who can be sent away, and the injuries of Yuan's guards must be as well. Get better sooner."

Yun Yu was moved by the persuasion, among other things, he is really not very good at taking care of people.Living in the county government office does bring many conveniences.

"Forget it, I've been bothering you for a few days."

Xiao Changli's eyes lit up slightly, but his face was still calm.He called a few porters nearby, and immediately carried Yuan Zhan to the county government office, and ordered a sedan chair to ask Yun Yu to get on the sedan chair, and he followed beside.

Halfway through the journey, Yun Yu came down, the sedan chair in this rural area was not comfortable to sit on, and the bearer's ability to lift the sedan chair was not high enough, it made him uncomfortable all the way, he was better off walking on two legs.

"I came here this time in a low-key manner, and I took a look at the people's livelihood along the way. Mr. Xiao won't make everyone aware of me, right?" Yun Yu said beside Xiao Changli.

Xiao Changli said rightly: "No."

Seeing his appearance, Yun Yu was a little speechless, saying that he would not, but this kind of behavior was short of opening his mouth to say that there is a big man here.

"Since that's the case, you should sit on this sedan chair by yourself."

Xiao Changli was startled, and then let the bearer go first, and both of them walked back to the county office.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the yamen, I saw a few people pulling a crying woman and two children. Several yamen servants were chasing them away, and they rudely stopped the person who carried Yuanzhan, causing chaos.

Yun Yu smiled but said, "Lord Xiao, I hope that your county government can really make people live here."

Xiao Changli stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "The yamen is a place to redress injustice, there is no reason to expel people!"

The yamen servant was taken aback by his yelling, and murmured: "My lord, they are Qian San's wife and children. They have been arguing for a long time, and they want us to redress their grievances. What can we do about... what the hell did?"

The woman cried to death, yelling that Qian San died so badly that she wanted to get his body back for burial, and that she would make Liu Quan pay for his life.

Xiao Changli persuaded him a few words, saying that he must give an explanation, and the woman left weeping.

Xiao Changli asked the yamen servant to carry Yuan Zhan into the house, declared that he should not be neglected, and asked the steward to tidy up the two rooms and come out to see Yun Yu, who had already gone in by himself.

Yun Yu stood in front of the screen wall, her back was as elegant as a bamboo.Xiao Changli stood not far away, knowing that he didn't like him, so he consciously kept some distance from him.

"Aggression is insatiable, demands are endless, most people in the world are greedy, and an official will go too far. Can a mere piece of screened wall really give a warning?" Yun Yu smiled, "It's just deceiving yourself and the people."

Looking at Xiao Changli who was standing aside, Yun Yu said: "My lord, don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that my lord is a corrupt official. Everyone knows about my lord's incorruptibility. I'm afraid that the ditch will be dirty and the stink will inevitably be left behind."

Xiao Changli knew what he was referring to and did not speak.

Yun Yu got a few thorns stuck in the cotton, feeling a little bored: "Where is my room?"

Xiao Changli turned his body sideways: "Follow me."

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" Susu regained her vitality, jumped in front of Xiao Changli, looked at Yun Yu, "Hey, who is this young man who is rich at first sight?"

Xiao Changli frowned slightly: "Don't be unreasonable."

Yun Yu said with great interest: "Brother-in-law? I wonder when Master Xiao got married?"

Xiao Changli was slightly embarrassed: "Not married yet."

Susu interjected: "My sister is already right and wrong and you don't want to marry. How dare you betray her and be careful that she will haunt you for the rest of your life."

Yun Yu smiled: "There are countless women in Beijing who are not married to Mr. Xiao. What's so special about your sister that Mr. Xiao can favor him?"

Susu said: "My sister is different from those ordinary women."

"What's the difference?" Yun Yu became interested.

"She's a ghost." Susu had a smug face, as if ghosts are superior to others.

Yun Yu was dumbfounded, and looked at Xiao Changli.Xiao Changli was speechless, and led Yun Yu to continue walking.

Susu rolled her eyes and said to the void, "You haven't hooked up with him yet?"

A red shadow hangs down on the willow tree by the roadside, and Su Daixue's sigh came faintly: "He is really a gentleman, and I don't want to take advantage of those stinky girls."

She dangled a pair of red embroidered shoes on the tree, with a sad face: "If only I were still alive, with my beauty, why worry about him not throwing himself into my arms?"

Su Su poured cold water: "With your dominatrix-like temperament, who would dare to ask for..."

"You brat, say it again!" A pale hand stretched out to Susu's neck like noodles, scaring Susu to beg for mercy.

"Hey, did you notice that Xiao Lang is a little weird?" Su Daixue frowned slightly.

Su Su said: "What's weird, he has always been abnormal, like those Bodhisattvas in the temple, he always looks the same."

"I think he always seems a little... nervous when he's in front of this person."

"Which one?"

"That." Su Daixue glanced at Yun Yu, who was also looking over here.

She had been following Xiao Changli just now, and saw him walking alone with his heart full of worries, standing hesitantly in front of the Fuquan Inn, seeing the change in his expression the moment he saw Yun Yu for the first time, and the look in his eyes from time to time. Thoughts, and those fleeting, almost imperceptible, smiles.

Every moment is different from his usual indifference and calmness. If he is not a paralyzed man with more expressive expressions, he will probably be similar to himself.

But she thought again, who is that person?Emperor!Is there any official in the world who is not afraid of the emperor?

Thinking of this, she was relieved.

"Is your county office really clean?" Seeing Susu talking to a tree, Yun Yu frowned.

Xiao Changli said: "There is another person, but he is not evil."

"Is that ghost wife of yours?" Yun Yu thought it was funny, no wonder Xiao Changli has been surrounded by peach blossoms but has no beauty, so it turned out that he didn't like her girl as a human and not a ghost.

It's also interesting that people and ghosts get married.

Xiao Changli was powerless to explain: "She's not my wife, it's just..."

"It's just that she is passionate?" Yun Yu understood, and teased, "I know Lord Xiao is popular with women, but I didn't expect that even female ghosts can be easily captured, and I admire them."

Xiao Changli was silent, Yun Yu turned around with a smile and closed the door.

Xiao Changli paused for a while, and was about to leave when the door was opened again, Yun Yu said: "Please, sir, bring some water later."

Xiao Changli nodded, watched the door close, and saw Susu's searching eyes as soon as he turned around.

"Who is this person?"

Xiao Changli said: "No matter who it is, you must not be unreasonable."

Su Su was quite unconvinced: "What's so great, it's not the king of heaven."

If he knew that this person was the current emperor, he might want to bite off his tongue and eat it.

————————————————————————————

At this moment, Liu Yuanzhi, Zhao Lin and others were gathering in the side hall, chatting their tongues, guessing who the magistrate was bringing here today.

"Isn't he from the capital? Maybe he is a relative of some high-ranking official in the capital."

"Our lord has eyes on the top of his head, and he doesn't pay attention to people. When this person comes, he immediately lowers his eyebrows and looks good. He must have a lot of background."

"Looking at that young man with a dignified appearance, and the injured one, he looks like a Lianjiazi..."

"My lords."

The voice suddenly sounded, startling the few people, and hurriedly got up to apologize: "What orders do you have, sir?"

Xiao Changli said: "Has the corpse found in the north of Huaishan Village yesterday been filed?"

Liu Yuan said straightly: "My lord, those corpses are so rotten that it's not easy to put them back together."

Xiao Changli didn't say anything, and went straight to the county government morgue.Liu Yuanzhi and others followed him, and when they saw him pushing the door, they covered their mouths and noses, and retreated to avoid it.

Although Xiao Changli was not like them, he still held his breath the moment the door opened, turned sideways to avoid swarms of flies fleeing for his life, and went in after a while.

A dozen corpses were placed on the floor of the morgue, each separated by a straw mat.Although it was treated with wine and vinegar, the stench was still overwhelming, attracting flies within ten miles around the county government office to come to look for food.

Liu Yuanzhi covered his nose and said, "Family members of some of the newer corpses have come to identify them and took them away. These are all in short supply. Well, although someone identified that one, because it has no head, the family members said it was unlucky. I don't want to take it away, so I want us to get our heads back. Don't you think this is a troublemaker? This is the county government, not Yizhuang..."

Xiao Changli said: "Can you find out your identity?"

Liu Yuan said straightly: "The ones that were taken away are all from Dajing Village, and the others are unclaimed, and they are so rotten that their identities cannot be traced."

Xiao Changli looked at the corpses one by one, pointed to four of them and said, "Most of the bones are broken and damaged. If you think you were beaten more during your lifetime, you can inquire about homeless orphans or maidservants of rich families."

Liu Yuanzhi nodded. Indeed, if it was these two types of people, no one would pay attention to them after they disappeared and died, let alone report and claim them.

Then Xiao Changli went to the prison, Liu Quan sat on the ground, and when he saw him, he just glanced at him and didn't say a word.He has been like this since he was imprisoned, and he hasn't said a few words.

Xiao Changli asked the yamen guard to open the cell door and came to Liu Quan: "You must have heard about what happened this morning."

Liu Quan broke off the straw in his hand bit by bit, his movements were slow and orderly, without showing any emotion.

Xiao Changli said: "Trapping people's souls in a water tank so that their grievances cannot be vented, they will surely become ghosts. Is this your purpose?"

He knew that Liu Quan would not answer, and he didn't need his answer, so he walked behind him and restrained him, and tore off his shirt from his back, and there was a similar mark on the shoulder blade.

Liu Quan finally raised his head, looked at him with vicious eyes, and a strange laugh broke out at the corner of his mouth.
