you got on my tail

Lu Yongning thought that Bai Xuehe was just mentioning it casually, but Bai Xuehe actually went to the Shi'en county government office, intending to retrieve the archives of the old case.

Lu Yongning wanted to ask again, but Bai Xuehe asked for an order from his sleeve. Fu Jiying did order him to investigate the case of Xingshan Coal Mine while investigating Liu's house.

Without further ado, Lu Yongning found the case files and witnesses.

This case is very strange. The coal mine is in Xingshan County, which is deep into the mountains, and the local simple mountain people are responsible for the mining. Xingshan's main source of income depends on this coal mine, so the mountain people and Enshi county magistrate pay special attention.

Three years ago, the Xingshan Coal Mine collapsed. Because it was located in the hollowed-out mountainside, it collapsed so badly that people couldn’t open it after seven or eight days of digging. It is not appropriate to say that the coal mine is about to be hollowed out, and it is not appropriate to spend manpower and material resources to save it, so I had to decide to give up.

Because of this mine disaster, Shi Enzhi resigned.

Many people died in the mine accident, except for a mountain man named Liuhe.

Liu He is over 50 years old. He is sitting in front of Lu Yongning, looking very restrained, but there is a light shining in his squinted eyes.

Bai Xuehe said: "Say what you have."

"The little one went to work that day and went the wrong way." Liuhe felt very excited, as if he was waiting to tell this story to others, "The little one didn't go back to the mine, but fell into a deep mountain that he had never seen before."

"The little one was looking for a way in the mountains. The sun was too harsh, so the little one kept his head down. When there were dark clouds, he looked up. Guess what, he saw a wooden stake on the mountain, and a coffin on the wooden stake!" Liu He continued. : "We have hanging coffins here, but the small ones have never seen so many, and they are placed high!"

"I go to this mine every day, and I build the shelves by myself. There is absolutely no chance of accidents..."

……

After all, Liuhe has only one point of view, the mine accident was not a natural disaster, but they provoked the ghosts in the cliff.

Seeing that Liu He danced and danced, Lu Yongning hurriedly said: "Are you still excited when someone dies? You see your children making up nonsense all day long, and you don't tell the truth when you meet the adults from above."

Bai Xuehe was not in a hurry, but he felt that Liuhe would be very suspicious if he cowered and couldn't speak. He was so excited at this moment, which made people feel that there was something real.

After all, no one has seen a ghost that no one else has seen, and can bear not to add details about him.

Heidan was watching from the side, the expression on his little face seemed to be terrified, but he couldn't help listening to the story, his fingers tightly clasped Bai Xuehe's sleeves, Bai Xuehe looked at him poking his head and frightened, thinking that this monster Why are you still afraid of ghosts?

"Master Bai, the mountain people are ignorant, and they like to talk about what they have." Liu He finally shut up, and Lu Yongning lowered his eyebrows and said: "Otherwise, don't ask, there is a reception banquet prepared at the Liu Mansion, if you go It's too late, and the next officer..."

Although Liu Yan is no longer a general commanding thousands of troops, he is quite powerful in the local area. Lu Yongning is only a magistrate who has only been in office for a few years. Since Bai Xuehe won't let him take people, he has no way to show authority Fu, can only give way to the Liu family.

Bai Xuehe thought about it, and was going to call Liu He, who was unwilling to be lonely, to go back first. Just as he closed the case file, he heard a person knocking on the door outside. When he turned around, he saw a tall young man wearing a green robe and black gauze on his head. Seeing that Bai Xuehe was puzzled, he explained, "I'm Xialan Ziqing, the county magistrate of Shi En."

Bai Xuehe just now realized that he had met the magistrate before, and the real lord who is in charge of Shi En County is here. Lan Ziqingsheng has a handsome face, a tall and straight figure, and looks very honest and sincere between his brows. When Bai Xuehe flipped through the case files, he immediately said: "Your Excellency, are you here to thoroughly investigate this case?"

"Yes." Bai Xuehe looked at his expression, and at Lu Yongning's unnatural look, and knew that the case must be suppressed by Lu Yongning, so it was left alone.

Lan Ziqing is not very old, and he is only a county magistrate. He thinks that he has been in the officialdom for a few years, and he is still willing to worry about the unresolved case, so he said: "My lord will thoroughly investigate this case, and the lower officials will definitely cooperate with you. I hope the adults will uphold justice."

Bai Xuehe stared at the case file, frowned and said, "Liu He, is there anything you didn't finish?"

If he could make Lan Ziqing so worried and Lu Yongning so uncomfortable, there must be something else going on.

"My lord, I didn't believe that the mine would collapse, so I ran back secretly." Liu He heard Bai Xuehe calling him, and ignored Lu Yongning's unfriendly eyes, and continued excitedly: "The little one ran over in the middle of the night and heard The sound of going to work is the same as before!"

"Ah." Heidan flinched in fright, stretched out his hand and tightened Bai Xuehe's sleeve, "Bai Xuehe, is there a ghost here?"

"No, don't be afraid." Seeing that Heidan was afraid, Bai Xuehe smiled and said: "I already know, you can go down first."

"Yes." Liu He left the mansion just now, still unsatisfied.

"Lord Lu." Bai Xuehe said: "Then let's go to General Liu's residence, and don't ask him to wait."

"Yes yes yes." Lu Yongning got up quickly, "My lord, please."

Bai Xuehe looked at Lan Ziqing, and found that although he was silent, there was a bit of disappointment in his eyes.

General Liu's Mansion is the largest house in Shi'en County. It is said that it was personally designed by the apprentice of the master who built the Forbidden City, with seven entrances and seven exits.

Compared with the White Mansion, General Liu can be regarded as one in the sky and one in the ground. Heidan carefully held Bai Xuehe's hand, but his eyes couldn't help looking around, wondering if there was something wrong with his memory. Dan turned back into a child's appearance again, he was dumbfounded, and his eyes were watery, which attracted all the maids in Liu's mansion to look here.

Bai Xuehe patted his head, thinking that he must have grown up that day.

Lu Yongning is usually domineering, but now he lured Bai Xuehe in in a low voice. He thought that the Liu family had already prepared a banquet, but there was really no movement in Liu's mansion, only two maids came out from the inside, leading Bai Xuehe to go got a room.

When Lu Yongning heard that the Liu Mansion took the initiative to entertain him, he thought they would curry favor with Bai Xuehe, but he didn't expect that the Liu Mansion only arranged such a small room. His face turned white and purple, and he was very sorry.

They waited in the guest room for a long time, but no one came out to welcome them from the Liu residence.

"Master Bai." Lu Yongning said in a low voice, "Why don't you go back to my residence for a while, and I'll clean up a room for you."

"Forget it." Bai Xuehe stood up, feeling that the Liu Mansion had let him hang out for a long time, and the resentment in his heart should be vented enough, so he held Heidan's hand in his own, "I won't cause you trouble, you send someone, It’s good to open a room in the county town.”

"Master Bai, are you leaving in such a hurry?" Before Lu Yongning could answer, a tall young man had come out of the hall. He was wearing a brocade robe, his jet-black hair was tied tightly in a jade crown, and stars were dotted under his sword-shaped eyebrows. head.

He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I thought it was Master Bai, but it turned out to be the son of Mother Bai at home."

Bai Xuehe smiled politely, without any embarrassment on his face. Now standing in front of him was Liu Yan's eldest son, Liu Linghong. Liu Linghong was five or six years older than him, and was also much taller.

Back then, Liu Linghong always bullied him, but he was tall and strong in life, and he was good at kung fu. He was the object of Bai Xuehe's envy when he was a child.

He pulled Heidan behind him and asked, "How is General Liu?"

General Liu took him and his mother in back then, but Bai Xuehe still had some worries in his heart.

"Thanks to Master Bai, you are so successful, we can only stay in this poor mountain valley." Liu Linghong was dissatisfied, "Master Bai, we have no official titles, and we have nothing to receive, please take care of us."

Liu Linghong put on airs enough, and then winked at the maid who was carrying the tray.

The maid took two steps, and suddenly fell in front of Bai Xuehe, the hot pumpkin porridge spilled all over his body.Bai Xuehe hurriedly pushed Heidan away, and shook off the remains of his clothes, Lu Yongning said angrily: "Liu Linghong, your Liufu..."

"I'm really sorry." Liu Linghong sneered, "Bai Xuehe, we don't have anything to entertain you in the Liu residence."

Lu Yongning didn't expect it to be like this, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, even Heidan knew that the person in front of him was bullying Bai Xuehe, with sparks in his eyes, Bai Xuehe pulled him back, he didn't expect the child to be too strong, Had to follow up.

"Xiao Hei." Bai Xuehe lowered his head and called out, using his eyes to tell Heidan not to go by, the child's big eyes were on fire, more angry than Bai Xuehe himself.

Liu Linghong just pretended that he couldn't hold back his face, smiled and said in a low voice: "Xu Lingxiao just raised a dog to offend you, and you killed him and lost his official position. The Liu family is dead."

Liu Yan is a mature and prudent person who knows how to advance and retreat. Liu Linghong was so indignant and humiliated himself, it must be that Liu Yan was too weak to support himself.

Bai Xuehe didn't want to argue with him, so he dragged Heidan towards the door, and just as he was leaving, Heidan threw his hand away angrily.

Bai Xuehe ignored whatever he called Heidan, Lu Yongning took the two of them to a room in the county town, and humbly apologized countless times, until Bai Xuehe became impatient to the extreme, and Lu Yongning left the guest room voluntarily.

"Why are you angry?" Bai Xuehe was changing his clothes, poked Heidan's face with his hand, and whispered: "Xiao Hei's puffy face is getting fatter."

"I'm not fat!" Heidan just yelled, and suddenly found himself angry, "I ignore you."

"What's the matter?" Bai Xuehe gently pulled Heidan's hand, "What do you want to eat, I'll accompany you to buy it, okay?"

"You were bullied by others, and you were not angry, but stopped me!" Heidan said angrily, "I can beat him."

Heidan was very excited when he said this, and wished he could beat Liu Linghong immediately, completely forgetting that when he was bullied by small animals in the valley, he huddled up and hid.

"If you were angry at everything, wouldn't you be so angry to death?" Bai Xuehe smiled lightly, and helplessly rubbed Heidan, "Okay, okay, you are the most powerful."

He pulled Heidan to lean against the bed, and suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his back. When it was time to change the dressing, he realized that he still had wounds on his body.

Things are complicated in the capital, he needs someone to keep an eye on him, so he didn't ask Bai Fu to come with him, and now he also needs to change his dressing, he didn't want Heidan to see him, so he said: "I want to sleep for a while, you go out to play Let's play, okay?"

"it is good."

It was a clumsy excuse, but Heidan happily agreed. He turned around and closed the door, his round eyes crooked into a line.

Although he didn't know what Bai Xuehe was doing secretly, but since he tricked himself out, he just went to deal with that bad guy.

Heidan, who was not reconciled, was very excited as he prepared to make a fool of himself.
