Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Chapter 664: People are scarier than ghosts

In the study room of the official residence, Guan Xinrui and Qiaoer came here one after another.

It was obvious that Qiaoer was a little nervous. After all, he and his wife had gone through a lot of the master's things before. She felt so guilty when she was called to the study, thinking that the master had discovered something.

"Master, why did you ask me to come here?"

Seeing Qiaoer, who had lowered his head to come in, and raised his head amidst the anxiety, Guan Xinrui's face looked kind and cheerful.

"I called you here just to ask about recent events. I haven't had time to read the Yamen documents yet. People in the Yamen lobby were talking in confusion and lacked many details. Please come and talk to me."

Hearing that this was the case, Qiaoer couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"master"

Qiao'er was about to speak when she saw Guan Xinrui raised his hand to stop her and pointed to the door.

"Go and close the door."

Qiao'er didn't doubt that he was there, so she responded "Yes!" and then went over to close the door. However, as soon as she closed the study door, her body was hugged by two big hands from behind.

One is tied around the waist and the other is wrapped around the chest.

"ah"

Qiaoer was so frightened that she screamed. In fact, like Liu, she also had a faint fear of Guan Xinrui, but not as deeply as Liu thought.

"Master, Master, don't, don't."

"Why?"

"This, this is the study room"

When Qiaoer spoke, Guan Xinrui didn't stop at all, so that her tone was trembling, and she didn't know whether it was because she was more afraid or because she felt something else.

It is said that scholars are powerless, but this is obviously not necessarily true. At this moment, Qiaoer only felt that the master was very strong, and she couldn't help but think of the night when she broke the melon.

He was almost carried from behind directly to the desk over there, and Qiaoer was pressed against the desk with a "bang".

In order to maintain balance, his hands subconsciously supported his body, but his clothes had been untied and the inside of his long skirt had been roughly torn off.

The predicament and posture at this moment seemed to Qiaoer in a trance.

In the midst of my disordered thoughts, I remembered the gestures on the master's obscene picture, and my mind suddenly began to wander.

"ah"

The uncontrollable shouts in the study naturally spread outside. As long as they were not deaf, the yamen on duty not far away could also hear it.

But this time the yamen officer pretended not to hear, looked back in the direction of the study door, and could only whisper "tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk".

After a long time, Qiaoer lay disheveled on the desk, her sweat-stained face flushed, and she was just panting feebly.

Guan Xinrui was still lying on the back, reaching out to gently touch Qiaoer's cheek.

"Qiao'er, my wife and I are both kind to you. The master intends to make you my concubine, and I don't think my wife will object!"

Qiaoer had a smile on her tired face. This was a significant improvement in status for her, from a servant to a master.

"Many, thank you sir"

"Oh, I have to thank you, madam!"

Guan Xinrui said this with a smile, his hand gently caressing Qiaoer's cheek to his back. What he saw in front of him made him feel more comfortable and satisfied.

Compared with Liu Huifang, Qiaoer, the little maid, can be controlled by herself, and she feels more comfortable in controlling everything.

"By the way, let's talk about what happened in those few days. Don't be in a hurry, just take your time."

Qiaoer stood up and stood up, not daring to hide what happened that day while getting dressed.

Ghosts attacked, Taoists cast spells, and the county government officials surrounded and killed them all. The horror and danger of it all came from Qiaoer's mouth, which was much clearer than the county officials' exaggerated descriptions by the officials.

After all, Qiaoer has always been by Liu Huifang's side and has experienced almost everything from beginning to end.

Guan Xinrui has been listening carefully and will not easily interrupt Qiaoer's words. When Qiaoer talks about something that makes her afraid, he will hug her.

Just after hearing this, Guan Xinrui's brows never relaxed.

"That's what the ghost said?"

The phrase "Give me back my husband, give me back my life" made Guan Xinrui's scalp feel numb at this moment, and he even had goosebumps on his body.

He suddenly remembered what he had seen before when he and his father-in-law were observing dragon scales in a basin.

Could it be her, here to claim her life?

When Qiaoer nodded slightly, Guan Xinrui's face turned a little pale, and his fear rose uncontrollably, but he suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.

"The Taoist has already killed Li Gui, right?"

At this moment, Guan Xinrui was sitting on the soft couch on one side, and Qiao'er was already sitting on his lap. Hearing this, he nodded slightly again.

"Well, Taoist Master Xue's magic was magical. He first trapped the evil spirit, and then he cast a spell to summon a fire dragon, which directly entangled the evil spirit and burned her, beating her to ashes. Then nothing happened to her in the past few days!"

Guan Xinrui slowly breathed out a sigh of relief.

"That's good if it disappears into ashes, that's good."

In just such a short while, Guan Xinrui sweated no less than before, but then his heart skipped a beat. His wife Huifang was a well-educated, courteous, and quick-thinking woman, and she was very thoughtful.

"Qiao'er, Madam didn't say anything or do anything after that, right?"

"Madam, what are you talking about?"

When Qiao'er faced the master's gaze at this moment, her eyes subconsciously dodge. She and her wife had been browsing in the study for a long time, and the master had read some of his private things.

"No, no"

Guan Xinrui frowned, Qiaoer's evasive look was too suspicious.

"Qiao'er, my second wife, tell me honestly, did you? Did you go back to your parents' house and say anything to your father-in-law?"

Qiaoer quickly shook his head.

"No, no, Madam has not returned to her parents' home. When Mr. Liu and Madam came to visit, they only expressed concern for each other. They mostly asked about Taoist Priest's ghosts. Mr. Liu even rewarded Taoist Priest Xue and Patou Zhong separately."

Guan Xinrui nodded.

"Taoist Master Xue is indeed a strange man. If you have the opportunity, you must make a special trip to meet him to express your gratitude. Mr. Zhong is indeed reliable. I hope he recovers from his injury soon and returns to the Yamen to work."

Qiaoer breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't ask about the study.

"Yes, Madam also said that Mr. Zhong is a trustworthy person in the Yamen!"

Guan Xinrui smiled and nodded, then looked at Qiaoer and asked again as if he had an intuition.

"It's trustworthy, but what have you been entrusted with?"

A trace of panic flashed across Qiaoer's face.

"No, it's nothing. Madam once made a special trip to express her gratitude to Mr. Zhong. She felt that the rewards from the Yamen were insufficient."

"Oh, that's right. There are fewer rewards from the Yamen. By the way, Capt. Zhong is recuperating at home, right?"

Qiaoer nodded repeatedly and did not dare to say anything, but the change in her expression was not unnoticeable in Guan Xinrui's eyes when they were face to face at close range.

But at this moment, Guan Xinrui didn't ask any questions, just smiled to express that everything was over, and looked at Qiaoer with another color in his eyes.

"My wife is ill and it is not suitable for me to have sex with you as husband and wife. Thanks to Qiao'er for helping me."

"Master, you...ah..."

This time it was on his back and he was pressed under him, this time he was on the couch.

By the time Qiaoer returned to Mrs. Liu's room, almost half an hour had passed.

Mrs. Liu, who was lying on the bed, saw Qiaoer's uneasy look and the sweat stains still clinging to part of her temples. She probably understood what had just happened without asking any more questions.

The two women whispered in the room for a while. Based on Qiaoer's description and her own feelings, they didn't feel anything was wrong.

——

In the evening, on a trail somewhere in Haiyu County, Guan Xinrui, dressed in regular clothes, was walking with two officials. One of the officials pointed to the side of the trail ahead.

"Sir, it's right there!"

"Um!"

The three of them soon arrived outside a small courtyard, which was Zhong Xingwen's home, and then one of the officials went to call the door.

"Bang bang bang bang"

"Is anyone here? Mr. Bell. Mr. Bell."

After a while, Mrs. Zhong came out and opened the courtyard door. She couldn't help but be slightly surprised when she saw the three people outside.

"You are"

The two officials quickly saluted.

"Sister-in-law, let's see Mr. Zhong, this is the county magistrate!"

Guan Xinrui smiled and bowed with his hands.

"Guan is rude. He came here to visit but didn't bring any gifts. I wonder how is Mr. Zhong's health?"

While speaking, Guan Xinrui looked into the courtyard. There was only one child looking curiously at the door, but Zhong Xingwen was not seen.

The woman's eyes suddenly widened.

"It turns out that the county magistrate is here in person, please come in quickly, please come in!"

"Oh, I can't disturb you. Guan just came here in his personal capacity to say thank you. Is Mr. Zhong here?"

Hearing what the county magistrate said, the woman could only smile helplessly.

"You don't know, my husband. Yesterday, my husband accompanied me back to my parents' house, but I just had a meal and then left him. He said that he was granted a rare leave and planned to go on a long trip to visit an old man and learn some skills."

Guan Xinrui frowned slightly and looked at the two detectives accompanying him. Obviously, these two people didn't know.

"I wonder who Mr. Zhong is visiting, where is he now, and when will he come back? The county government cannot do without Mr. Zhong!"

Guan Xinrui still looked pleasant, but the woman just shook her head.

"I've never heard my husband talk about this."

"You didn't even say your name?"

The woman thought for a moment and shook her head.

"Never said."

Guan Xinrui nodded, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he took out a certain amount of money from his sleeve and handed it to the woman in front of the door.

"Since Mr. Zhong is not here, this thank you gift can only be given to you, Madam Zhong. This is a thank you gift related to a certain person. Please accept it with all your heart, Madam!"

"Hey, sir, you can't do it. My husband has already received the reward."

"Guan said that this is a personal thank you gift, please don't refuse Mrs. Zhong."

The woman couldn't refuse, so she had to pay for the money. After weighing it, she had to have twenty taels.

Then Guan Xinrui and his party said goodbye and left. They didn't even go in to take a sip of tea. The woman looked at the three people leaving at the courtyard gate and couldn't help but murmured.

"What a good officer."

It's just that the good official whom Mrs. Zhong said over there has a look of uncertainty on his face at this moment.

Guan Xinrui strode ahead, walking faster and faster, making it difficult for the two detectives to keep up.

Although it can't be regarded as any evidence, Guan Xinrui's instinctive panic gave Guan Xinrui a strong intuition. It's better to be wrong than to be careless!

Zhong Xingwen may have gone to Dingfeng County, Dahekou!
