The old east wind comes to dream

Looking at Gu Zizhan's expression, Chu Lan knew that she wanted to reveal her identity.Winking at her, Gu Zizhan was so frightened that he immediately shut up, not daring to say any more.

Only Fu You, who was on the side, didn't know it, and even brought Chu Lan together to talk. "That's right, Young Master Gu, you're right! Since I didn't have time to watch it before, I just want to watch it all at once today!"

Just as he was talking, Wang Shuli, the instigator, also came over, "Cousin, come along too! Don't think this city is not big, but it has a lot of fun! There is also a Zhixiu building in this city. What's more, Miss Xiangjun, the oiran of Zhixiu Building in the capital city, is here now. Hey, if it weren’t for Miss Xiangjun, I wouldn’t be able to talk to our Young Master Fu! In the past, it was very rare to see Miss Xiangjun in the capital, but today It just so happened that she was performing on stage at night, a rare opportunity."

Fu You also persuaded, "Oh, just stay with me!"

Gu Zizhan was pulled so hard by him that he couldn't help it, and in the end, with a dark face, he was dragged and dragged to Zhixiu Tower.

Right now, the long night is about to begin, and it is the busiest time for Zhixiu Tower.

Wang Shuli sent away the clinging mother Sang with a tense face, and Fu You could see now that this little brat was not as sophisticated as he boasted.A group of people sat down in a corner. After all, they came to investigate the case, so they couldn't make it public.

Dancheng is a small place, and this Zhixiu Building is far less exquisite than the ones in the capital city. People of all colors are mixed in it, and the noise is annoying.

Only then did Gu Zizhan realize that the so-called Miss Xiangjun, whose real name was Li Xiangjun, had the same name as the one in the famous "Qinhuai Eight Beauties" in history, so he couldn't help being a little more curious.But she has already seen Chu Lan's stunning beauty, no matter how beautiful the other people are, in her opinion, they can only feel that they are mediocre.

It was quieter in the lobby when Li Xiangjun came on stage to perform.

This oiran girl is wearing a butterfly-shaped tinsel flower inlaid with coral. Under half a piece of tulle, she can vaguely see a rare beauty.And this Miss Xiangjun really has real talent and learning, playing the guqin with one hand makes the lingering sound lingering, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.It's just that after she played a piece, she said some high-sounding polite words, and immediately left the stage.The following ones were all vulgar and vulgar fans, and compared with the previous Li Xiangjun, they were all overshadowed, and even Wang Shuli felt dull.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Zizhan got up first, pulled Fu You and Wang Shuli and walked outside.Looking at her back, Chu Lan felt a little out of breath for some reason, and couldn't help being a little funny.

Fu You also felt that it was not very interesting, so these so-called Qinlou Chu Pavilions were nothing more than that.For this, Wang Shuli was very unconvinced, and kept yelling that the Zhixiu Building in Dancheng was not worthy of its name. After returning to Beijing, he must take Fu You to see it.

After Gu Zizhan walked away, at the stairs on the second floor, a slender girl was leaning on the stairs, watching the backs of those who were gradually going away.

A maid beside her stepped forward and asked, "Girl, do you want to keep him?"

The girl looked at Gu Zizhan's back with complicated expressions in her eyes.After a long time, he sighed, looked away, and said slowly, "No need, it's not the time to meet each other yet. Take care of the person first, and report to me quickly if there is any situation." That's it."

After all, turn around and leave.

The maid followed her and asked in a low voice, "Girl, are you okay?"

The girl went straight back to the house, glanced at her, her beautiful eyes were looking forward, and she smiled sweetly, "It's nothing." She added, "I was never in her eyes, I just hope she knows this in the future, and won't blame me for being arrogant. Just make a claim."

The wooden door was lightly closed, and the figure inside could no longer be seen.There is a house number on the porch pillar in front of the door, and the inscription "Flowers Manlou".

This girl is the oiran of Zhixiu Building, Li Xiangjun.

**********

In the next few days, everyone continued to search around the graveyard. They had searched for miles around, but they still had no clue.

News has been sent back from the capital that Liu Chong's bones are very hard. Yan Junchi personally interrogated and used the torture instruments in Dali Temple, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Ma Chengda was so upset by the news that he put on a straight face every day in the Dancheng county government office. Everyone in the county government office was worried and did not dare to provoke this high official.The county magistrate Wang Xing hid in his room, faced his master face to face, frowning, and only hoped that the world of Dancheng would be peaceful in the next few days, and that there would be no wrongdoing to be caught.

Just be afraid of something.

On this day, many people gathered outside the county government office, all of whom were nearby villagers.

They surrounded the gate of the yamen with farm tools, clamoring to report to the officials.After being ushered into the hall of the county government office, a strong man at the head fell to his knees with a plop, and shouted: "Master County Magistrate, it's not good, the evil spirits on the graveyard are arresting people!"

Wang Xing looked at Ma Chengda with a dark face beside him, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Bold! The sky is bright and the sky is bright, why are you talking about ghosts and ghosts? Don't you want to confuse people here! Come on!" , give this traitor a punishment!"

The servants at the side immediately stepped forward, swung their boards and beat the man.Seeing this, the surrounding people immediately rioted and shouted for injustice.

Ma Chengda had a sullen face, and stopped him: "Magistrate Wang, let this person explain in detail first, there is no reason to use punishment without reason."

Wang Xing's face turned pale, and he secretly scolded the old man for meddling in his own business, but he didn't dare to refute, he hurriedly stopped the yamen servants, and asked this man: "Who is under the hall, report the case quickly!"

The man was beaten several times. Hearing Wang Xing's question, he struggled to kneel up straight, and replied: "Little man Liu Shan lives at the foot of the mountain outside the city. Today I went to the cemetery with some farmers to collect dry firewood. , But I didn't expect that I saw a ghost in broad daylight!" His face was pale, and Wang Xing asked him to continue talking.

It turned out that as soon as Liu Shan and the others went up to the cemetery, they saw a strange deserted tomb. From a distance, it seemed that there was a man in white standing there.

Several people were terrified immediately, and one of them was Liu Wu, a courageous butcher who had been a butcher for generations, and insisted on going to check on the fact that he had just had a couple of drinks.Liu Shan and the others couldn't hold back, so they had to follow Liu Wu forward.I found a white dress hanging on the barren grave, and I don't know where it came from.Just as he was about to leave, Liu Wu seemed to have lost his mind, and quickly rushed towards the white dress, yelling foul language while running, as if he had been possessed by a demon.

The few people didn't hold back, and saw that Liu Wu threw himself on the head of the barren grave, slapping and hitting, screaming strangely, crying and laughing very deeply.

Immediately afterwards, the barren tomb collapsed suddenly.

Everyone was stunned, and saw that Liu Wu fell into the deserted tomb following the collapsed tomb.

Liu Shan was the first to react, and led a few people to run over, and saw a big hole in the barren grave. It was pitch black and bottomless, and Liu Wu's figure had long since disappeared.

A few people lay on the top and shouted to the bottom one after another.Except for the mountain wind in my ear and the echo from below, there was no sound at all.

This frightened several farmers to death, and hurried down the mountain to call for help.

More than a dozen villagers were called to search for the person, but they still found nothing.Looking at the unfathomable grave, I only felt that there were evil spirits in the darkness below, and felt that the wind on the mountain was even colder, so I couldn't help being frightened anymore, so I rushed to report to the police.

After listening to Liu Shan's statement of the case, not to mention the seasoned Ma Chengda, even Wang Xing felt something was wrong.The tomb has a long history, and it has never been heard that there is a cave under it. This case is full of strangeness inside and out.

When Wang Xing heard about it at first, he felt that this matter was really tricky. He quickly looked at Ma Chengda, and asked with a smile: "Master, look at this matter, how should I deal with it?"

Ma Chengda frowned, they had been to the cemetery for the past few days, and never found anything strange, why did such a thing happen to their back foot as soon as they left.He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, he just thinks it's such a coincidence, maybe there's something weird in it.

Glancing at Wang Xing, Ma Chengda said: "Magistrate Wang, there must be something inside this matter. You first leave Liu Shan and others behind, and then send the yamen servants to go to the cemetery with me at Dali Temple. "After that, he got up and walked to the back hall.

Wang Xing was in a hurry to respond, so he went to make arrangements.

Xing Kang led Gu Zizhan and the others to stand under the hall. After hearing Liu Shan's narration and knowing what Ma Chengda was up to, he hurriedly followed him out.

Soon, Ma Chengda led a group of people, and under the leadership of Dancheng Yamen servants, they went straight to the cemetery.

When he came to the collapsed barren tomb, Ma Chengda looked down, and it was indeed as Liu Shan and the others said, the inside was extremely deep and pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Ordering someone to fetch a long rope, Ma Chengda first asked someone to put down a candlestick. Seeing that the candle was not extinguished, he put down a live chicken.After a quarter of an hour, after pulling the live chicken up to see that there was no serious problem, he ordered the two yamen servants of Dancheng County Yamen to go down to investigate.

After waiting for a long time, if the rope hadn't been moving all the time, Gu Zizhan would have been worried that something would happen inside.After half an hour, there was a vibration from the long rope, which was a signal for people to pull up.

The two yamen servants were pulled up, and as soon as they showed their heads, everyone was shocked to see their pale faces.

The two of them seemed to have been greatly frightened. As soon as they came up, they knelt on the ground and trembled, and they couldn't speak clearly.It took a long time before he uttered a sentence in a crying voice, "My lord! There are, there are a lot of dead people inside!"

As soon as these words came out, even Ma Chengda's expression changed.

Ma Chengda took the lead and ordered Wang Sicheng to guard above. He led Xing Kang, Gu Zizhan, Fu You and Dali Temple and others, and followed the two former yamen servants, and entered the grave with hanging ropes.Wang Xing didn't want to go, but seeing Ma Chengda also went in, he had to take a few yamen servants and followed up.

Chu Lan still pretended to grow up with "Chu Gui" and stayed outside with Wang Shuli and the rest of the yamen servants, waiting to be picked up at any time.Zhang Guan and Li Dai looked at each other, Zhang Guan followed Gu Zizhan, and Li Dai stayed by Chu Lan's side.

When he was about to go down, Gu Zizhan couldn't help looking at Chu Lan, and saw that she was also looking at him.They couldn't help smiling slightly, and each other's eyes reflected firmness.Some things have changed. *

Ma Chengda and his party all brought weapons, entered the grave, and after standing still, they realized that the inside was astonishingly large.

This is a cave. Looking at the traces on the mountain wall, it was clearly dug out by humans.

Gu Zizhan took a step forward holding the saber of Dali Temple, holding the torch and looking around.There were places for torches and candlesticks on the mountain wall. She lit a few nearby torches, looked at them by the light, and couldn't help but gasp.

This is a huge cave, and the cave is full of broken wooden boxes, among which there are some scattered silver pieces glowing with cold light, judging from the seal that fell to the side, it should be official silver.The mountain wind was so strong that the torches flickered, and one could vaguely see that behind the rocks in the distance, there were many weapons and corpses stacked on top of each other!The clothes of those corpses were already a bit dilapidated, and the brown-clothed bunts that looked like bandits could be vaguely seen, all of which had turned into white bones.

There are piles of corpses!Even those old people in Dali Temple who are used to seeing corpses can't help but feel their scalp go numb when they see this scene.

Wang Xing was so frightened that his legs went limp, he had to rely on the support of the servants beside him to stand upright.

He turned his head to look at Ma Chengda, with a trembling voice, "My lord, this, this has nothing to do with my Dancheng county government, and has nothing to do with the lower officials."

Ma Chengda looked at him with disdain.Looking at Xing Kang, he saw Xing Kang standing there frowning in thought, then raised his head suddenly, and looked at Ma Chengda.He opened his mouth and silently typed, "Tianshun 19 years, Dali Temple".Suddenly, Ma Chengda couldn't help but change his expression.This is where the map points, and it has something to do with the old case again!

At that moment, Ma Cheng thought for a while, and said to Xing Kang: "Xing Sizheng, take someone to check inside, if there is any trace of Liu Wu."

Xing Kang took the order, nodded to Gu Zizhan and Fu You, and led them inside.

But at this moment, there was a strange giggling sound from a distance.This voice resounded through the valley and was erratic, making one's scalp numb and his liver and gallbladder trembling!

Surprised by this weird laugh, everyone's expressions changed.

Xing Kang shouted: "Who is playing tricks here!"

But the voice didn't stop, being disturbed by the echo in the cave, I felt that it was suddenly far and near, which was creepy.

Xing Kang clenched his waist knife and winked at Gu Zizhan. Gu Zizhan pulled Fu You, who was still calm, followed Xing Kang and listened for a while, then ran towards the source of the sound.

After running ten feet away, the light from the torch could no longer shine through.Gu Zizhan was worried that Fu You would not be able to deal with it, so he asked him to light the torch on the mountain wall first.Relying on her high martial arts skills, she herself could see in the dark, so she kept running towards the source of the sound without stopping.To her surprise, Xing Kang, a civil servant, has some skills, only a few steps behind her.

Fu You shouted in surprise: "Xing Sizheng! Gu Sicheng! Wait for me!"

In a panic, Fu You slipped, tripped over something, staggered and fell to the ground, and the torch in his hand was thrown far away.

He hurriedly crawled towards the torch, picked up the torch, stood up with the support of the mountain wall, raised his head to take a look at the position of the torch and candlestick on the mountain wall, stepped on a protruding stone under his feet, and stretched out his hand to light it.

Fu You stretched out his hand for a long time, and only now was he extremely annoyed about his fat body.The stomach is too big, and there is a lot of flesh on the legs. I have to lift my feet several times before I can stand firmly on the stone, and I am already sweating profusely from exhaustion.After finally lighting the torch and candlestick, Fu You looked down, his legs went limp.The sweat on his head was blown by the cold wind, and the coldness pierced his bones, and he fell down from the stone.

Only now did he see clearly that the thing that tripped him just now was actually a skull!

The black eye sockets of the skeleton "stared" straight at him.
