human being

a man.

And Tang Momo found that Nie Xiaoqian's body became slightly transparent again, obviously injured.It's a pity that the man who claimed that Nie Xiaoqian was the only treasure in his life, who would definitely let Xiaoqian live a good life without suffering a little bit, didn't notice this change.

On that day, the banquet was held with joy for both host and guest.

Ning Caichen took the money Xiaoqian got and booked a private room at the best restaurant in the capital.Good dishes, exquisite snacks, delicious wine, colleagues eat and drink happily.At the end of the day, the eldest son of the grandson's family in the north of the city proposed to listen to a little song on a flower boat outside the city.

This is the first time that Ning Caichen does not return all night.

Xiaoqian was in a daze all night holding her right arm injured by the door god.

Before dawn the next day, Ning Caichen came back in a hurry, washed up in a hurry, changed into clean clothes, and went to work.

Xiaoqian floated out of the ashes urn, hugged the clothes Ning Caichen had changed, buried her face in the clothes and took a deep breath. "It smells so good. The fine powder really smells good." A line of tears flowed down her cheeks.

When Ning Caichen came back that night, he first praised Xiaoqian, and then said that the end of the month would be his boss's birthday, and he wanted to send a calligraphy and painting there.Ning Caichen took out a box of makeup and handed it to Xiaoqian, "Xiaoqian, I carefully selected this for you. This time, you must help me!"

Nie Xiaoqian touched the box of makeup powder.The rough box has a pungent smell, probably the cheapest one on the street.She carefully put the box close to her body, looked at Ning Caichen, "Sir, where did you go last night?"

"I went out to drink some wine and listen to some music, and then I slept outside when it was too late. Hey, don't ask women about men's affairs, Xiaoqian, can you help me with what I said?"

"I..." Nie Xiaoqian shook her head, "I can't..."

"No? Why not?" Ning Caichen's voice became louder, "You are not human, and those policemen can't catch you at all! Why not! Xiaoqian, can't you help me? Back then I had a narrow escape I wanted to help you escape from Lanruo Temple, and now you don’t even want to do me such a small favor!" As he spoke, Ning Caichen looked at Nie Xiaoqian's tearful face and felt frustrated.

He muttered a few words, turned back to the kitchen and drank the mulled wine.

Once the curtain of the latrine is lifted, the stench will linger for a long time

Since that day, the relationship between the two has undergone subtle changes.

Ning Caichen also said some sweet words, but the people who said them were embarrassed and uncomfortable to hear. Unknowingly, the two of them talked less.Sometimes I can't speak a word for a day.Ning Caichen drank more and more alcohol, and from the beginning of complaining in a low voice, he turned into cursing non-stop.

At this time, Xiaoqian hid in her ashes urn.

This continued until the end of the month.

Because of his lack of money, Ning Caichen drew a picture and gave it to his boss.In front of many guests, the boss praised him greatly and praised him for his heart.But the next day, Ning Caichen saw the torn picture scroll on his desk.The wine and meat friends who used to have a good relationship with him also faintly showed signs of alienating him.

Once again, Ning Caichen declined the invitation to drink with Sun Yuanwai's eldest son, and Ning Caichen returned home dejectedly.

When passing the neighbor's house next door, Ning Caichen could hear the laughter of the children inside, the smell of the food, and the sound of the neighbor's sister-in-law yelling for dinner.He pushed open the door of his house, and saw that the deserted yard was full of dust and fallen leaves, and the house was pitch black, with no smoke at all.

He didn't go into the house either, he just sat in the yard and started drinking.

While drinking, Ning Caichen suddenly burst into tears.

"I was wrong, I was wrong from the very beginning! The sage said it well, beauty is a bone-scraping knife. Once I step in, I can never turn back. Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian, you are terrible! It’s hard for me. I thought that I could get a beautiful girl and know some magic spells, so it would be helpful to me. Who knows that it’s a fake silk flower that’s not very useful, and it’s useless except for collecting dust!”

Nie Xiaoqian floated out at some point, standing behind Ning Caichen and weeping silently.

Ning Caichen glanced at her, feeling how much he liked her at the beginning, but now how much he hates her, "Why are you crying! If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you! I would have married and had children a long time ago! I would marry the daughter of a good family , She has a dowry to give me, a father who can support me, and a brother who can support me! And you, and you have nothing! I dare not even leave the door, how could I be blind!" Ning Caichen He smashed the wine glass beside Xiaoqian, and said with red eyes: "You, yes, you seduced me! It must be you using some kind of demon method!" The eyes were indescribably terrifying.

"I will leave immediately to reincarnate." Nie Xiaoqian wiped her tears and lowered her head.

"You're thinking right! Once you leave, what will you owe me?" After saying this, Ning Caichen left in a huff.

After a while, he appeared in front of Xiaoqian again, holding something in his hand.

Nie Xiaoqian stared at him blankly, "Sir, you!"

"Don't call me a husband, you are not worthy! Do you have three matchmakers and six hires? Do you have a marriage certificate? Do you worship heaven and earth? It's just a joke. You really take yourself seriously!" Ning Caichen viciously raised the small jar in his hand, " These are your ashes, and I still have the talisman paper given to me by the surname Yan."

"If you don't want to lose your soul, you have to obey me obediently!"

The author has something to say: "Ding!" The fresh male grandma is out of the oven. It tastes like ink, welcome to taste~

☆, white clothes as before, things are different

"You!" Nie Xiaoqian grinned and looked at the person in front of her.

Ning Caichen is still dressed in white, handsome as before, but he doesn't look like the young scholar when they first met in Lanruo Temple. "You behave like that, how is it different from my grandma!" Nie Xiaoqian scolded angrily.

Ning Caichen sneered, "I was not deeply involved in the world, so I was deceived by your beauty. In order to get rid of grandma's control, you deliberately pretended to be pitiful and deceived me and Yan. Now I finally see through, Since you used me first, don't blame me for being rude."

"You! You!" Nie Xiaoqian's clothes fluttered without wind, obviously extremely angry. "Obviously I let you go without telling my grandma and couldn't bear to harm you. You said you wanted to marry me and stay together forever, so you wanted to take me away! Later, it was the hero Yan who was kind and helped us. That’s why I got freedom. I just want to find an ordinary family to reincarnate, but you want me to join a rich family. To put it bluntly, it’s not because you want to covet other people’s property, but you come to propose marriage when I grow up!”

"It's useless to talk too much, it's the same as what you say." Ning Caichen raised the ashes urn in his hand, "Go, hurry up and get some money!"

"You really want to drive me?"

Ning Caichen didn't answer, and took out the talisman paper as a gesture to stick it on the urn, "Soul-fixing talisman. If I stick it on your urn, your soul will be trapped in this urn and can't come out again." Nie Xiaoqian, you have to think about it. Do you want to find some silver taels for me, or you will be locked in this jar and can’t get out. I will paste all the remaining runes on it and smash them when the runes are about to expire. Your urn, sprinkle your ashes outside the temple! Then you will be directly purified by the Buddha's light, and your soul will fly away!"

Seeing Nie Xiaoqian's ready-to-do-it-yourself posture, Xu Shi slowed down his tone, "But if you and I met once, I wouldn't do such a great job! Three years, as long as you work for me for three years , I will let you go. Not only that, what I said before still counts, I will find a good family and let you reincarnate."

Seeing this, Tang Momo was so angry that he wished he could go up and punch Ning Caichen twice.

This man has a good skin. When encountering things, he either complains or blames others, and he refuses to take his own responsibility at all.

Tang Momo asked: "Could it be that he has been optimistic about him for a long time, counting the days and letting you vote?"

[Exactly! 】Nie Xiaoqian sneered, 【Do you know why he trapped me for three years?Not only to help him get some money, but also because he found out that now the eldest son of the prime minister's family has an engagement with the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, and he will marry the daughter three years later when she becomes a filial mother. 】

"He wants you to be reincarnated at the Prime Minister's house!" Tang Momo asked puzzledly, "But I never understood that you have no memory of your previous life after being reincarnated. Why were you so determined at the beginning that the two of you can continue your relationship?"

[Of course there is a way.Didn't he mention a blood oath to marry the dead before?It's not just a form. ] The picture in Nie Xiaoqian's memory paused.

Tang Momo saw that the sky suddenly cracked open, and balls of dog shit the size of steamed buns fell from the sky, and landed on Ning Caichen's body with crackling noises. His face soon drowned him.

Nie Xiaoqian seemed to let out a bad breath, and continued to explain, 【Using that method, the marriage of the two is completely bound together, and they can only be released after three lives and three lives.That's what he came up with. When the time comes, my reincarnated person will dream of him every night, and I won't marry unless he is the only one. 】

"Then you were really driven by him for three years?" Tang Momo asked worriedly.

【Yes.However, there must be retribution for taking ill-gotten gains!Before, I voluntarily acted for him, but now I am forced, and the cause and effect are naturally on Ning Caichen's head.In the past three years, he has been very happy with eating hot food and drinking spicy food, but he never thought that a place has been reserved for him in the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld. 】

The memories of these three years are painful for Nie Xiaoqian, she only flashes past Tang Momo's eyes.

Tang Momo could see that as Nie Xiaoqian brought back more and more money, Ning Caichen's life gradually became extravagant.He changed into a big house, fresh clothes and angry horses, and even bought many beautiful maids to serve him without any scruples. In three years, he actually got four maids pregnant, and had several concubines before they were officially married.

He mixed with the dudes in the capital, and his official position actually went up two levels.

Ning Caichen only felt that life was so happy. Whenever someone came to propose marriage, he said affectionately: "I should get married at my age, but I dreamed of a woman in my dreams since I was a child. That woman is virtuous and virtuous. I made a lifelong appointment with her in my dream. If I don't meet her in this life, I would rather not marry a wife." After these words spread, the news of Ning Lang's dream wife spread throughout the capital.

Women from ordinary families were moved by Ning Caichen's infatuation, but wealthy families scoffed at her!At the same time, teach your own children not to associate with this Ning Caichen, so as not to reveal the situation of the sisters in the family, and this surnamed Ning will know, and go around saying that the one who married him in his dream is his own daughter. Isn't that just plain bad? Fame, this surnamed Ning got it cheaply.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and the wedding at the Prime Minister's family was very lively.Ning Caichen's official position is not enough, and his reputation has been compromised since Ning Lang Meng's wife, so naturally he would not be invited to such an occasion.

However, he was still standing among the people on the street with great interest, looking at the bride's red makeup.He thought in his heart that if he married Xiaoqian's reincarnated woman in the future, then all the dowry would be his own.Ning Caichen was satisfied with seeing gold, silver, jewellery, emeralds and jade, and went home humming a little tune.

A few days later, Ning Caichen used the urn to force Xiaoqian into a ghost marriage with him, and escorted her to the back door of the prime minister's house.

"Go to reincarnation, Xiaoqian, I'm doing this for your own good." Ning Caichen looked at Nie Xiaoqian affectionately, "I will always wait for you, and the position of my wife will always be reserved for you!"

Without saying a word, Nie Xiaoqian turned around and floated into the prime minister's mansion.

A month later, good news came from the prime minister's family that the new eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant.

Only then did Ning Caichen feel relieved, and carefully buried Xiaoqian's ashes, and he burned the talisman paper clean.

Time flies, more than ten years have passed like this.

Ning Caichen is used to spending a lot of money. Before he forced Xiaoqian to buy a lot of money for him before reincarnation, he could sit back and eat.Mountains of gold and silver will also fall one day.In order to maintain his comfortable life, Ning Caichen learned to use his position and power for convenience. As he got older, he never got married, which caused a lot of gossip.

In the officialdom, although he is generous, he has made a lot of wine and meat friends.But further up, it will be a little difficult.

Those who hold high positions are not human beings.This Ning Caichen is talented in terms of talent, but it has not reached the point of stunning talent. Although he has some money, he has no wife or mother behind him, which is really weird.With a sharp mind, who would provoke him, for fear of causing trouble for himself.Those who are more powerful, they look down on Ning Caichen's little family property.

In this way, Ning Caichen was stuck in a very awkward position.

You can't go up, you can't go down.

However, he was still as stable as Mount Tai, thinking in his heart that now the prime minister's son-in-law has entered the court and is an official, he is very popular with His Majesty.In addition, although the prime minister is old, his disciples are all over the world, and his influence is still great.In the future, I will become the son-in-law of the prime minister, and my official position will definitely skyrocket in the future. Now these people who look at people through their noses and eyes, I will let them kneel and beg me in the future!

Waiting and waiting, finally when it came to the Prime Minister's granddaughter's fifteenth birthday ceremony, Ning Caichen came to the door to congratulate her, dressed in splendid attire and carrying heavy gifts.

The prime minister's son-in-law is now a first-rank official, and he behaves calmly and meticulously.

Seeing that Ning Caichen came uninvited on the day of great joy, he did not drive people away rashly, but felt displeased in his heart, so he looked at Ning Caichen more.

I saw that Ning Caichen greeted other officials with a smile on his face, as if he was at his own home.In addition, he looked in the direction of the backyard from time to time, as if he had a well-thought-out plan, which was a bit weird no matter how he looked at it.The prime minister's son-in-law's heart was like lightning, and he suddenly remembered the rumors of Ning Lang's dream wife that had been circulating in the capital more than ten years ago, and he was horrified.

He called the housekeeper, gave instructions himself, and entertained the guests with a normal face.

After a while, a servant began to bring out tea and fruit snacks, "Master Ning, please drink tea." The servant respectfully served the tea, but for some reason, he seemed to be knocked from behind, and the teacup fell on the ground. On the ground, the tea splashed wet the corner of Ning Caichen's robe.

"Oh, Lord Ning, I'm so sorry for being so clumsy." The butler hurried over, scolded the servant, and said apologetically, "Master Ning, please follow me to the backyard to wash up. It's time to sit."

Ning Caichen thought about it, the first time he met his father-in-law, he naturally wanted to be clean and tidy.He followed the housekeeper to the backyard, followed the housekeeper around and around, but ended up in a small courtyard.The butler pushed open the door of the small courtyard, "Lord Ning, please come in, my master is waiting for you inside." After speaking, he stood at the door with his head bowed and his hands down, and did not go in.

Ning Caichen was slightly taken aback, then strode in.

He walked into the main room in the small courtyard, and saw the prime minister's son-in-law was sitting steadily on top, and beside him was the congratulatory gift brought back by Ning Caichen.

"Lord Ning, what are you talking about this time? I don't remember sending you a message." The prime minister's son pointed to the pile of congratulatory gifts, "These things are too expensive, please take them back."

Ning Caichen said calmly and dissatisfied: "Miss Gui and Ji, of course I have to prepare a good gift. To be honest, I haven't married a wife for many years, just waiting for the man in my dream to grow up. Now, count the days, It's time for her to get married."

The prime minister's son-in-law laughed loudly, "Are you worthy?" He took a sip of tea without looking at Ning Caichen, "He's quite old, he has neither achievements nor talents, only a bunch of concubines and concubines at home, You are so brave."

"Miss meets me in my dream. She will never marry anyone but me in this life." Ning Caichen said confidently, "I just lack the support of noble people. With my talent, within a few years, I will definitely become a court lady. Sir!"

"Hahahaha!" The prime minister's son-in-law laughed even louder. He wiped the tears from his laughter, shook his head and said, "My daughter grew up like a baby, and I have never heard of her having a strange dream. Ning Caichen , You want to get ahead like crazy! I have heard about your Ning Lang's dream wife, haha, Jing'er, have you seen this person in your dream?"

Behind the big screen behind the prime minister's son-in-law, a girl's crisp voice came out, "Daddy, stop joking, why would I dream of him! He looks older than you, Daddy! Thanks to Daddy, let me see When it comes to such a ridiculous thing, it’s really ridiculous!"

"You, Xiaoqian!" Ning Caichen took a few quick steps, trying to get around the screen.

Unexpectedly, a few strong women rushed out from behind the screen, and without saying a word, those women moved their hands at Ning Caichen.Ning Caichen is a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. Where is the opponent of these women, he was beaten to the ground after a few blows.

Another mature female voice floated out, "Husband, I took Jing'er back to the back garden. Enough messing around today, I won't allow this in the future."

The prime minister's son-in-law smiled and said, "Got it, ma'am. This is really funny. If I don't call you out to watch the joke, you will definitely say that I made it up."

The lady paused for a moment and then laughed, "No, if I hadn't heard it with my own ears, who would have known that there would be such a brazen person in the world. This person came here uninvited, I'm afraid it was out of good intentions, if I didn't pay him alone Come, I shouted it out at the banquet at that time, just to ruin my Jinger's reputation for nothing."

"Mother, this man is really vicious!" The girl said angrily, "Daddy, you have to teach him a lesson.

The prime minister's son-in-law was smiling, but his eyes were terribly cold. He stared at Ning Caichen, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, and said word by word, "Don't worry, I will teach him a lesson!"

☆、Everything happens for a reason

The banquet at the prime minister's house was very successful, and no one noticed the episode of Ning Caichen's early departure.

Just like the prime minister's son-in-law promised his daughter, he really taught Ning Caichen a lesson very hard.

The masters of the housekeepers in the outer courtyard can testify to this matter.Under the command of their master, they used their hard work to beat Ning Caichen until his whole body was in pain, but at the same time, no external injuries could be seen.

This made Ning Caichen, who wanted to go out and sue the imperial court, had no choice but to swallow this bad breath.

He lay at home for more than ten days before recovering from his injuries.

The vicious flames burned more and more in his heart!Okay, okay, if that's the case, then let's fight to the death!He was going to go out to meet his friends and make a good publicity about who the person in his dreams was.

Not only now, Ning Caichen has also made up several jokes that insult people's innocence.

In the joke, he made an appointment with a woman named Jing'er from the prime minister's family after dusk.Jing'er was so passionate that she not only had sex with him, but also secretly concluded that she would not marry him!

Ning Caichen was secretly proud that with such a publicity, Jing'er could only marry him.After the dead woman is married, he will naturally have all kinds of means to recover the humiliation he has suffered.

"Nie Xiaoqian, you won't settle down even after being reincarnated!"

Ning Caichen planned to fight well, but just before he was about to go out, several government servants appeared at his door.

After asking Ning Caichen's name, they directly put the shackles on Ning Caichen without saying a word, and took them all the way to the Ministry of Punishment.

This matter is naturally the hands of the prime minister's son.

After driving Ning Caichen away that day, he did not miss the viciousness in Ning Caichen's eyes.Because his wife was worried that Ning Caichen would be unfavorable to her daughter, she asked her natal family to investigate Ning Caichen's details, but found nothing else, but unexpectedly found out that Ning Caichen had accepted bribes.

The prime minister's family immediately mobilized several familiar censors to impeach Ning Caichen in the early court.

I have to say that the timing chosen by the prime minister's family is just right.At this time, the national treasury was empty, and His Majesty had spent a lot of effort secretly for the money. Ning Caichen was impeached by the imperial censor for accepting bribes, which hit the knife's edge.

His Majesty the Emperor was so furious that he decided to kill the chickens to make an example to the monkeys, so as to show some color to the people below.

Not only that, but the yamen servants who ransacked the house found several wooden dolls in Ning Caichen's backyard!Someone's birthday was written on the doll, and the doll was pierced with iron nails and was splashed with chicken blood.

Witchcraft!

The imperial taboo!

The matter was so important that the yamen servants did not dare to conceal it, so they reported it immediately.

Things changed immediately.His Majesty the Emperor, who was only planning to remove Ning Caichen from his official position, had to start paying attention to this matter.The art of witchcraft has been extremely tabooed by the emperors and royal families of all dynasties. Ning Caichen is an official of the court. It can be said that he knows the law and broke the law, which makes His Majesty start to suspect that this is only done by Ning Caichen alone, or is there an organization or some kind of conspiracy? of.

The life of Ning Caichen was picked up in detail.

His family's property was not rich, but he was able to buy a small house as soon as he entered the capital.After being elected, his salary was not much, but his basic necessities were good. At this time, he hadn't done the bribery thing. Where did the money come from?

The official who handled the case was surnamed Zhou, who was a judge of Dali Temple and was famous for his ability to resolve cases.He is also shrewd, and immediately retrieved the unsolved case files of the theft in the capital at the same time, and was surprised to find that the period when Ning Caichen started to prosper was the time when a large amount of money was stolen in the capital.

The silver was lost from different banks or big merchants, all of which were lost in closed rooms.At that time, the officials who handled the case were downgraded several levels because of their poor handling of affairs, but privately revealed that the perpetrator must not be an ordinary person, maybe not a human being!Because some of those houses were covered with dust, without even half a footprint, but all of them left a bloody thumbprint on the wall, so the officials handling the case were puzzled.

And these thefts only lasted for three years. After three years, the thefts in the secret room disappeared.At the same time, Ning Caichen deposited a large amount of silver in the silver village. After the money was gradually spent, it was the beginning of Ning Caichen's acceptance of bribes.

When the matter came to this point, Zhou Pingshi immediately dug out the bloody fingerprint drawn in the dossier, and compared it with Ning Caichen's finger who was squatting in the cell, and it happened to match his thumbprint.

Officials become thieves!These developments have exceeded all expectations.

As a result, Ning Caichen's deeds before coming to Beijing were adjusted in detail.And the fact that he had stayed at Lanruo Temple was also revealed.

According to the villagers living nearby, the Lanruo Temple area was known as a haunted place more than ten years ago.As long as the person who stays there at night will definitely never be found again.But the strange thing is that Lanruo Temple was burned down for some reason, and since then, there has been no haunting.

The time when Lanruo Temple was burned was exactly the day before Ning Caichen was going to enter the capital.

Now things are all connected.

"Ning Caichen stayed in Lanruo Temple, which is rumored to be haunted, before he went to Beijing for the exam." Zhou Pingshi explained carefully to the person in front of him respectfully, "At this time, he is just an ordinary scholar. Your Majesty, what happens next It can be broken down into two cases.”

His Majesty the Emperor in dragon robe raised his eyebrows slightly, "How do you say that?"

"Your Majesty has the guts to ask, does Your Majesty think there are ghosts in this world?"

"So what? What if you don't?" His Majesty the Emperor chuckled.He was still young, and had only been on the throne for three or four years, so he naturally had no impression of veteran officials like Ning Caichen left behind by his father.

"If there are no ghosts, then the rumors of Lanruo Temple being haunted must have been deliberately released. The purpose is to cover up people's eyes and ears and kill people to steal money. This must be the reason why traders and tourists disappeared in Lanruo Temple for no reason. After Ning Caichen went to Lanruo Temple, For some reason, he escaped with a life and brought out the silver taels hidden in Lanruo Temple by the gangsters. This also explains why he was able to buy the house as soon as he entered Beijing."

His Majesty the Emperor nodded, "There is some truth."

"Ning Caichen was able to escape, there must be something unique about him. After the silver taels brought out from Lanruo Temple were spent, he used his own ability to steal silver taels everywhere. The sum of these stolen silver is quite huge. Ning Caichen quit his job and enjoyed it. Later, he gradually spent all the money, and wanted to get a job in sex, but as he got older, he decided to take bribes."

"What if there is a ghost?" His Majesty the Emperor looked up at Zhou Pingshi, and found that the Pingshi strongly recommended by the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment was not very old, but his serious face seemed a bit mature.

"If there is a ghost, that ghost killed countless people before, but later let Ning Caichen go alone. This means that this ghost was either killed by Ning Caichen or was in the same boat as Ning Caichen. From the perspective of the lower officials, the latter's The possibility is more likely. This ghost asked Ning Caichen to dig out the silver, followed him to the capital, and used some magical means to get the silver. But for some reason, the ghost disappeared later, which explains why Ning Caichen later You have to get the money yourself. And those puppets in his backyard are probably taught by ghosts to harm people."

His Majesty the Emperor fell into deep thought. Finally, he picked up a small green plum and threw it into the air.

The sound of Qingmei's "pop" fell directly on Zhou Pingshi's head, "Your Majesty?" Zhou Pingshi held Qingmei in his hand and looked at His Majesty the Emperor in puzzlement.

"Ning Caichen had an evil heart. He stole silver taels more than ten years ago and accepted bribes more than ten years later. The witchcraft in his backyard were the result of the jealousy of women and concubines." Zhou Pingshi blinked and blinked, and said with a smile, "Could it be that I want to tell the world that Ning Caichen is colluding with ghosts? At that time, everyone will not think about studying and plowing the land, but only thinking about how to raise ghosts to obtain injustice." The monks and priests can make a lot of money, but my treasury will be empty again."

Zhou Pingshi immediately understood, he bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, and then stepped back to handle business.

Soon, Ning Caichen's family was convicted and sent to prison, and Ning Caichen's decapitation caused a sensation in the capital.His identity as a thief was also revealed at the same time, and the sufferers who lost their money more than ten years ago came to them one by one.

The deeds of Ning Caichen, the champion thief, spread all over the world, and the good-for-nothing even made up a tune and sang it around.

The common people teach their children not to be like that Ning Caichen, who won the first prize but is now ruined.Because of this matter, private schools and even student supervisors all over the country have strengthened the teaching of morality, for fear that the students will take a detour like Ning Caichen.

Zhou Pingshi, who sponsored the case, became famous for his meritorious service in handling the case, and his future was bright for a while.His Majesty the Emperor found him very pleasing to the eye, and he promoted Zhou Pingshi once Ning Caichen's matter was resolved.

However, Zhou Pingshi is still neither arrogant nor impetuous, he is trembling every day, and he is not at all overwhelmed by his merits, which makes his colleagues in the officialdom evaluate him even higher.

The night in the capital is still calm.

Zhou Pingshi stood in the small courtyard, staring at a peach tree in the courtyard for a long time without saying a word.

Only when the voice of the watchman outside came, did he move.He took out a small basin and threw a small fire bag into it, and then he threw stacks of paper money into the basin.While burning the paper money, he said softly: "Miss Xiaoqian, the weather is getting colder, I wonder if there is any cotton-padded clothes sold in the underworld. Is the paper money I burned for you last time enough? I will burn some more for you today." , from your girl’s house, you might as well go and buy some new clothes and jewelry.”

"Pfft!" A soft laugh sounded.

Zhou Pingshi stood up in surprise, turned around and saw the beautiful figure standing behind him, and couldn't speak nervously. "You, you are here!"

"Master Zhou, thank you for letting that thief Ning Caichen finally get what he deserved." Nie Xiaoqian saluted Zhou Pingshi.

"No no, this is what I should do. Thanks to the reminder you gave me, Miss Xiaoqian, I connected Ning Caichen with the robbers in the capital many years ago. There is also the matter of Lanruo Temple. Without your help, Miss Xiaoqian, the people we sent would not have found the clues so quickly." Zhou Pingshi waved his hands quickly, looking like a boy, not like a normal court official.

Nie Xiaoqian smiled slightly, "Xiaoqian came here today to say goodbye to the lord. Looking at the face of the lord will ensure that the official career will be prosperous in the future and everything will go well. Xiaoqian should go too."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Pingshi was shocked.

"Ghosts have ghosts, Lord Qin Guang pity me for my poor background, and allow me to go to the underworld to work as an errand after I have finished my mortal affairs." Nie Xiaoqian sighed softly when she saw Zhou Pingshi's sad face, "Mr. The ghost is different, the adult has a good character, and he is really a modest gentleman. He will definitely meet a suitable person."

After Zhou Pingshi was silent for a long time, he suddenly turned around and went back to the room. After a while, he came out with a big package in his hand. "Zhou only hopes that the girl will be happy in the future. Here is the paper money I bought recently. The girl is going to work in the underworld as an errand, and she must be similar to an errand in the mortal world. Newcomers need to take care of it. If the paper money is not enough , I'll go buy some more tomorrow!" After speaking, he handed the package to Xiaoqian, which was nearly half the height of a person, and it was full of paper money.

Nie Xiaoqian looked at the big bag of paper money and said helplessly, "Master Zhou, who the hell would walk around with paper money on his back! We can only take what is burned for us."

Zhou Pingshi opened his mouth, "You laughed again, I hope you will laugh often in the future. I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight. If I have nothing to do, I will burn the paper money."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Xiaoqian said solemnly.

"No, thank you." Zhou Pingshi only felt a gust of night wind blowing, and the blown sand captivated his eyes.

After he rubbed his eyes, Nie Xiaoqian had disappeared.He sighed, pulled out a small bench from the room, and started burning paper money.The black smoke from the burning paper money accidentally caught Zhou Pingshi's eyes, causing him to sneeze a lot, tears and snot flowing out of his nose.

A little far away, the spy lying on the tree wrote crookedly on the paper, "Master Zhou met with the female ghost at night, and the paper money given to the ghost was rejected. After the female ghost left, Master Zhou cried bitterly and burned the paper money angrily." Finished writing , Anshao felt dissatisfied, so he wrote another polish.

"It was a lonely and lonely night. Master Zhou looked at the night sky with tears in his eyes. Ah, why are his eyes full of tears, why are his eyes so sad? Master Zhou lowered his head, his hands trembled slightly, and tears fell to the ground Tears formed. In the end, he sat down on the bench, all because of the female ghost who left just now. That female ghost..." The detective thought for a while, and the It was too far away to see the woman's appearance clearly.He scratched his chin and continued to write.

"That female ghost has a blue face and long fangs. She is burly and has a voice like a bell. She mercilessly rejected the paper money Mr. Zhou kindly gave her. Before leaving, she scolded Mr. Zhou severely and finally drifted away. Mr. Zhou Although his heart was pierced by a knife, but at this moment, he was crying and burning paper money for that woman, he is a person with deep affection."

After finishing writing, he rolled up the note and tied it to the pigeon's leg with great effort.The pigeon pecked at the spies, spread its wings and flew towards the palace with the overweight information.

After finishing all this, the spy sat down again satisfied, and observed the situation of Zhou Pingshi.He didn't notice at all that there was a transparent female ghost floating behind him, reading everything he wrote.

Tang Momo followed Nie Xiaoqian's gaze and also saw the contents of the note. "...This is obviously nonsense!"

[No problem, this is a blessing or a curse for Mr. Zhou. 】

After finishing speaking, Tang Momo saw Nie Xiaoqian's ghost flying towards another place in the city, which was the prime minister's mansion.

The author has something to say: The reason why Nie Xiaoqian didn't kill Ning Caichen directly, and needed the help of others is:

1 The old relationship is difficult, and I can't bear to do it myself

2 Ning Caichen has the talisman paper given by Yan Chixia, so he can't do it directly

3 The author deliberately wrote this in order to add drama to Xiaoqian

4 Other reasons for the mystery

Which one is it?

☆, the taste of the world

In the prime minister's mansion, Nie Xiaoqian floated into the backyard familiarly.

It was already late at night, and the huge backyard was silent, and most people had gone to sleep.Occasionally, a few whispers and laughter came faintly from the corner room.Those were the women on duty, in order to refresh themselves through the long night, they chatted with each other from time to time to boost their spirits.

Xiaoqian floated into the side courtyard, where people were already waiting there.

Seeing the ghost figure floating out in the middle of the night, the man did not
