the emperor's man catches ghosts

After four or five waves of water were delivered, the servants secretly complained that this man was harder to serve than the county magistrate, so when they saw Xiao Changli standing not far away, they hurriedly silenced and walked away quickly.

In fact, Xiao Changli didn't listen to what they said at all, and he didn't know where his thoughts went.

Shiying Yunyu hadn't bathed properly since she came here, so it was a bit complicated now.Although he has an easy-going and modest temperament, he is not careless at all. He still feels dissatisfied after washing up and down inside and out, but he can't make more demands.

After pushing open the door, he saw Xiao Changli standing with arms folded under the tree in the courtyard, his expression was calm and expressionless, only his slightly furrowed brows showed that he was thinking about something, not in a daze.

Just as he was about to close the door, Xiao Changli walked over, took out the ice cap and handed it over: "My lord, please keep this thing well." After a pause, he said, "It has been washed, and it has been scented with incense. smell."

Yun Yu was startled slightly, and took it.It was true that the smell was gone, but it was full of pungent aroma, and he couldn't help but sneezed: "The smell is so strong, what did you smoke it with?"

Xiao Changli was embarrassed, he smoked it with the leftover spices that Su Daixue prepared for him last night, and he didn't care about the good or the bad.

"Forget it, just keep it." Yun Yu wanted to turn around and close the door, but after hearing Xiao Changli say "wait a minute," she turned around, "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Changli said: "According to our investigation, several bizarre cases in the county may be related to Gu Li."

Yun Yu frowned: "Gu Li?"

"To be on the safe side, please return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Yun Yu pondered for a moment, and said: "I will naturally go back when it's time to go back. Since it's about foreign countries, Master Xiao will have to worry more." Hearing the smell of Xiao Changli's body, he wanted to laugh a little, " My lord is so... hard, go and rest yourself, don't worry about me."

Seeing him closing the door, Xiao Changli turned and left.

Sunset on the west mountain, dusk has come.

Han Dong yawned. He and a few yamen servants had been guarding for a long time, but the broken water tank did not move at all, as if swallowing people in the morning was just an illusion and never happened.

It seems that as long as you don't mess with it, it should be fine. They were discussing to find a place to have a drink or two, and they saw Xiao Changli walking over, followed by that face from nowhere who claimed to be the county magistrate. The little beggar of my grandfather's brother-in-law hurriedly cheered up.

"Is there anything unusual?" Xiao Changli asked.

"No, nothing happened." Han Dong said, "My lord, why don't we find a mage to subdue it?"

Xiao Changli was noncommittal and walked over.Susu really didn't want to get close, and was coerced and lured by Su Daixue, so she had no choice but to follow.

Xiao Changli walked up to the water tank without hesitation, looked at the bones floating in the sewage, and said, "I know you have grievances, and your resentment is hard to appease, but the cycle of cause and effect in the world has its reasons, and there should be a way to love, hate, and hate. , you have disregarded human life and killed innocent people indiscriminately, and your evil deeds have already been born, what good will you end up with?"

The turbid water in the water tank was swaying, and the sound of whimpering came like waves of ripples. The white bones seemed to come to life, grabbing the edge of the water tank to crawl out.

The dead Qian San was a man, but at this time he uttered a sad female voice: "I died so badly...I am not reconciled...I want them to be buried with me!"

Xiao Changli said: "There is nothing wrong with an innocent person. The person who harmed you has been imprisoned. He will be executed when the Ministry of Punishment sends an official document. Your vengeance will naturally be avenged."

The woman hissed miserably: "No! Send him here, I will kill him with my own hands! I haven't had a good day since I married him, and he killed me! He killed me!"

Xiao Changli shrank his eyes: "What did you say? Mao Da was the one who killed you?"

"Who else but him! I'm not reconciled, I want to kill him!"

Xiao Changli's thoughts turned sharply, he turned and left.The bones roared in the water tank, "Don't go...I'm going to kill him! Kill him!"

The murderer turned out to be Mao Da, so why did Liu Quan admit to the murder and throw the corpse into the water tank?He never defended from beginning to end, why?

Xiao Changli hurried back to the county government office, Susu almost thought he was possessed by a ghost.

Before Xiao Changli entered the cell, a yamen servant came to report that Liu Quan committed suicide by hitting the wall.

Xiao Changli stood on the spot and watched Liu Quan's body being carried out. Half of his head was smashed, and blood and brain matter were still flowing out.

How much strength does it take to knock yourself like this?

Xiao Changli stared at the corpse being carried farther and farther away, and seemed to see Liu Quan opened the remaining eye, and smiled at himself with the corner of his mouth cracked.

The news that the new county magistrate had handled an unjust, false and wrongly decided case soon spread, and the people talked a lot, and their admiration for him fell to the bottom.

"Don't worry about it. There are eight or nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things in life. It's no big deal to make one or two mistakes." Su Su comforted her while eating candied fruit. Get out, Susu slipped away with the candied fruit in her arms.

Seeing Xiao Changli sitting silently in the courtyard for a long time, Su Daixue was worried that he would be overwhelmed, and was searching his stomach to say a few words to comfort him, when he suddenly heard Xiao Changli say: "That's not right."

"What's wrong?" Su Daixue asked subconsciously, Xiao Changli ignored her, with a threatening expression on his face.

"What's wrong? Is it your sentence that is wrong, or Liu Quan's death?" Yun Yu walked over with her hands behind her back.

Xiao Changli said: "Liu Quan does have a problem."

Yun Yu said: "Whether he has any problems or not, he is not the real culprit. This is a fact. If you force him to death, it will be difficult to turn back."

Xiao Changli didn't speak, he had nothing to say.

Yun Yu looked at him, and said: "However, Liu Quan is not the real culprit but admits to the crime. The reasons for it are definitely not simple. Instead of being here in a daze and feeling depressed, you should work harder to investigate clearly to prove justice."

Xiao Changli bowed his head: "My minister, remember, I will not disgrace my life."

Yun Yu nodded, with a mature look on her face that was quite inconsistent with her age and appearance.

Su Daixue hid back on the tree. If you say that the real dragon emperor is extraordinary, he clearly looks weak in writing, but he has a force that cannot be ignored.

Suddenly her expression changed, as if she had sensed something, she wanted to escape from the tree, but a force grabbed her and dragged her back.She yelled and shouted, but no one could see her, but she disappeared after a while, only a dead leaf fell where she was, and was swept away by the wind to the distance.

Xiao Changli seemed to have noticed something, and looked up at the tree. Except for the wind blowing the leaves, he could not see anything unusual.

——————————————————————————————

Xiao Changli sent people to arrest Mao Da, and the results came quickly. He was drinking at that time, and when the officials arrested him, he cursed and refused to arrest him, and his strength was much stronger than usual.

This person is honest and submissive when he is sober, but he is extremely difficult to deal with when he is drunk and crazy, and several officials can hardly hold him down.A weaker one was pinched under him by his neck, and several people couldn't pull him away.

"Smelly bitch, I'll make you talkative after a few sips of wine, I'll strangle you to death! I'll make you talk! I'll make you talk!"

Seeing that he was about to be strangled to death, Han Dong found a wooden stick and hit him on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious, and took him back to the county office.

In such a situation, it is clear how Mao Da's wife was murdered, but Liu Quan is dead, Mao Da doesn't remember how he killed his wife at all, and how her body was thrown into the water tank has become a mystery.

After the trial of Mao University, Xiao Changli sat in the hall for a long while, his face expressionless, making it difficult to figure out.The people in the county government only saw him as a joke, and Liu Yuanzhi even tried to comfort him with some thorns in his words.He didn't leave until all the people left, and the servants came to ask him to have dinner.

Although the morgue is located in a remote part of the county government office, it couldn't stand the stench of several corpses. Susu couldn't eat, and complained: "Brother-in-law, you just drag and bury those dead people. Why are you still keeping them? Now This county government office smells worse than that of a hut, and life is impossible."

Yun Yu didn't complain as much as he did, but she also felt that the stench was too much, so she also took a look at Xiao Changli.

Xiao Changli said: "The case is not closed yet, and the corpse needs to be retained as evidence."

Yun Yu said: "The perpetrator has been beaten to death, why can't the case be closed?"

Xiao Changli said: "There is more than one murderer." He put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said, "The corpses in the pond behind the house have different signs of death, five of them were beheaded, and six of them were mutilated. In order to refine the Soul Nail, what is the purpose of the broken corpse?"

Susu broke into a cold sweat when she heard this, and rubbed her arms: "My darling, there are so many lunatics in this world, and you won't be afraid of going to hell if you kill so many people."

Yun Yu saw that he was so naive at this time that he couldn't be connected with the person who smashed the murderer to death with a single head at that time, she couldn't help but secretly sighed that fortunately he had forgotten.

"I've seen the parts of those mutilated corpses. The flesh is rotten but the incisions didn't hurt the bones. It doesn't seem like it was done rashly, it's more like... practicing." Xiao Changli picked up a piece of white-cut chicken, Looking over and over again, it seems that they are regarded as corpses, thinking hard.

Yun Yu said casually: "Follow the texture of the body without hurting the bones, this person is quite a cook."

Xiao Changli looked at him thoughtfully, he felt hairy in his heart, coughed, and said, "Since there are so many ghosts and ghosts in this place, why don't Master Xiao invite a high-ranking person to come? That Guangxiu Daoist is profound , is also an enthusiastic person, and will definitely agree to help."

Although he is an incompetent one in Tingyun Temple, Guangxiu's image of a master of Taoism is much stronger than the others, and Yunyu treats him with extra courtesy.

After hearing about the relationship between Guangxiu and Xiao's family, Yun Yu thought that since Xiao Changli asked him to come because of their relatives, he would definitely come.

He didn't know that Xiao Changli had just received a reply in the morning, and there were only two words on the letter: no time.

Xiao Changli was still looking at the piece of chicken, his thoughts had drifted away, and he didn't answer his words.Yun Yu resentfully lowered her head and continued chewing.

Suddenly there was something extra in the bowl, Xiao Changli put the piece of chicken in his bowl.
