Half an hour later, Cheng Yu got up from the bed, and before taking two steps, his feet gave way and he fell to the ground.

Zhao Jinshu who was in the room heard the movement and turned around.He smiled and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Cheng Yu waved his hand, and limped and sat opposite Zhao Jinshu.At this time, he realized that there was a book spread out in front of Zhao Jinshu, which was the one his master gave him.

"It's okay, I just left my soul and forgot that I have a lame leg!"

After being silent for a while, Zhao Jinshu closed the book and poured Cheng Yu a cup of tea, "Brother, you came back really late last night, and the incense is almost used up!"

Cheng Yu was quite ashamed, took a sip of the tea and said, "I got caught up in something!"

Then he told in detail what happened in Li's mansion and on the street last night.He took out the painting from his sleeve and spread it on the table.The woman in the painting is looking at the person looking at the painting.

Zhao Jinshu frowned and said, "Is this Li Ling's wife?"

Cheng Yu nodded.

"According to my elder brother, Mrs. Li is a hanged ghost, but the cake seller told my elder brother that Mrs. Li spent as much time as Mr. Li before she died!"

"Moreover, it's not just that. Then Li Ling can see that he has a deep affection for Mrs. Li, and..." Cheng Yu thought of the night, after Li Ling shouted "A Li", Cheng Yu could clearly feel the love of the person in the painting. anger.

Zhao Jinshu nodded: "Things are really strange, so I will go to the Yamen for my brother. It's just that I still don't know something, I hope my brother won't blame Axiu for being troublesome!"

"What's the matter!"

"According to my brother, there is no unsolved injustice in this world. Just leave your soul and ask who the murderer of the dead is. Isn't the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate useless?"

Cheng Yu said: "People can't be trusted, let alone ghosts. Besides, some ghosts don't even know how they died. Besides, after people become ghosts, their personalities change a bit. Who can't guarantee whether they will turn to a good place or a bad one?" Some people have suffered a great grievance and swallowed it by gritting their teeth. Some people have nothing to complain about. Or the person who is about to die speaks kindly, or knows that he is dead. A padded back."

Although Zhao Jinshu said that he didn't really want to see Pei Zifu, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and send himself to the Yamen.

Cheng Yu, on the other hand, wore a Taoist robe and pretended to perform a ritual.Holding the water talisman, dipped some water with a dust whisk and sprinkled it out.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a gray figure hiding in the corner.When I looked again, the gray figure disappeared.It was the servant who opened the door for Cheng Yu that evening.

Li Ling's body was already weak, with two dark circles under his eyes, and his expression was a little dazed.After seeing Cheng Yu, he hurried back to his room to rest.Cheng Yu knew in his heart that he must be doing it for the missing portrait.Feeling a little guilty.

After a while, a woman dressed in luxurious clothes came over, Cheng Yu stopped watering and saluted the woman.

"Pindao has seen Madam!"

Although the woman was dressed luxuriously and had a lot of rouge on her face, Cheng Yu could see at a glance that behind the rouge must be an extremely tired face.For a moment, Cheng Yu didn't know what purpose to use to guess the lady in front of him.

The woman forced a smile and waved to Cheng Yu.Asked: "This Taoist priest, can you see what is going on with my master, is it really as Ling'er said..."

Cheng Yu carefully observed the woman's expression and nodded.

"what?"

"Our master can be said to be the most benevolent person in Anqing County. He would give some money to anyone who passed by on weekdays. He saw a big hole on the road and wanted to pay for repairs. How could this kind of thing be recruited?"

Cheng Yu sighed, Mrs. Li didn't have a single lie when she said this.When he was about to leave, he also asked the guy at the inn.That guy respected this Master Li very much, and in Anqing County he even had the title of Da Shan Li.

When this guy mentioned Li Dashan, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up.His eyes shined, "A few years ago, the river outside the city was squeezed and collapsed, and many people fell into the water, but only the son of Li's mansion came back in full. Don't you think it's amazing. Everyone said it was Mr. Li. Only when good people have accumulated virtue will they protect their children and grandchildren!"

"Master did crash into some unclean things. I don't know what major changes happened to Madam's house?"

Mrs. Li looked flustered for a moment, but soon calmed down.Sighing: "I think it may be that my poor daughter-in-law is reluctant to part with Ling'er."

Cheng Yu thought about the strangeness of the painting last night, and wanted to find out more, when suddenly there was a noise from outside the wall.Shocked, the servants reported back one after another, "Ma'am, a team of yamen servants has come outside, even... even the magistrate of the county has come!"

Zhao Jinshu's movements were faster than Cheng Yu imagined.

The woman's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Don't panic, follow me out to have a look!" Then she slightly bowed to Cheng Yu, and followed the messenger servant out.

A large group of people came, at first glance, almost the entire county government came to the Li Mansion, and the leader of the crowd was a man in blue shirt who walked in front with his head held high.The magistrate kept wiping sweat behind him.

Today is the fate of eight lifetimes. I planned to please Feng Ningxiang, but I didn't expect a King Ping to come.Moreover, when he arrived at the Yamen, he not only revealed his identity but did not disclose it.He actually came to report the case in person. If this King Ping was upset, he would be crushed to death by pulling a hair out of his head, so he had to flatter him cautiously.

"Why bother Your Highness with this matter, it's the same if you hand it over to the lower officials. I'm the parent officer of Anqing County, and I will definitely make decisions for the wronged people!"

Zhao Jinshu smiled and said, "Really!"

The magistrate of the county immediately felt as if he had been beaten into chicken blood. He wanted to swear to the sky, and he was pulling himself together to say a few words of indignation.

"But why did the yamen servant say it couldn't be done when I reported to the officials yesterday?"

The county magistrate replied in trepidation, "This... this, it must be that the yamen servants below have misrepresented the words. I... I must warn them when I go back. I will definitely... I will never do it again!" Zhao Jinshu waved his hand, I don't want to embarrass this big sesame official.

Li Ling spent half the night looking for paintings last night. After seeing Cheng Yu in the morning, he went back to the bedroom and slept.When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful woman grinding.

Li Ling got up from the bed and walked towards the woman.Holding the woman in his arms, he stroked the hair of the person in his arms.Muttering in his mouth: "A Li, where have you been, why can't I find you?"

The woman in her arms froze slightly, and a gentle and gentle voice reached Li Ling's ears.

"Brother Ling, you promised me to protect me, but why didn't you do it!" The voice was full of resentment.

"A Li, it's all my fault, A Li. I shouldn't have mistrusted you, it was me... I killed you. We are still as good as before, you grind me to write. I will teach you to write my name, You learned very well last time, and I only keep your pen."

"Not good!" The woman in her arms suddenly pushed Li Ling away, and the clothes on her body were stained black with ink.

"I'm already dead, has my brother forgotten?"

At this time, Li Ling seemed to be possessed, and tightened the woman's hand, "What's the matter with death, A Li, wait for me, I can feel that my time is running out, then we can be together again , you must wait for me!"

The woman didn't struggle much, but she pushed Li Ling's shoulder violently. Li Ling woke up with a loud cry.It turned out to be a dream.

There was already a commotion outside, and he frowned and called a servant to ask about the situation.Get out of bed, get up and go to the hall.

The hall was already full of people, led by a young man in blue shirt.Standing next to the blue-shirted boy was a boy in a blue official uniform, and beside him sat a young man in white.Seeing Li Ling coming in, Zhao Jinshu raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. Where did we go just now?"

The county magistrate hurriedly stood up, "Return to Your Highness, just now we said that Young Master Li fell into the water!"

Zhao Jinshu clapped his hands and said, "That's right, it's just that it was an outsider's retelling just now, so there will inevitably be some mistakes!"

Li Ling said: "My lords came to the humble house, and Li felt very honored, but he just didn't understand what happened to the murder case that the Li family mentioned?"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yu followed a doctor and walked in.With a cursory glance, he saw Pei Zifu again among the crowd.Pei Zifu seemed to be aware of it, and when he turned around, he met Cheng Yu's eyes. Cheng Yu immediately looked away as if his whole body had been hit by an electric current.

The doctor held a piece of white cloth in his hand, which seemed to be wrapped with something.Hand it over to the yamen servant on the side, and the yamen servant hand it over to Zhao Jinshu.

Zhao Jinshu looked at it, then handed it over to Feng Ningxiang who was at the side.

Feng Ning looked at the ball, which was only the size of an adult's fingernail, and frowned, "It smells like a mandala!"

The doctor nodded and praised: "Master Feng really lives up to his reputation. This is extracted from Datura pollen and grew in the Western Regions. Therefore, it is difficult for doctors in the Central Plains to diagnose it!"

The county magistrate wanted to show off in front of Feng Ningxiang and Ping Wang, so his tone became a bit serious.He said to Li Shi: "This thing was found from Master Li's throat. It can make people fall asleep for a long time, and kill people without anyone knowing it. Isn't this a murder case!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ling turned to look at Cheng Yu, Cheng Yu felt slightly uncomfortable.

"Wish to come, yesterday, the Daoist priest said that my father had some grievances, and it was for the sake of stability. I couldn't see that the Daoist priest not only catches ghosts, but also has some medicine!"

Li Ling's words sounded a bit weird, without the gentleness of the past, now, apart from the magistrate who had to wipe his sweat from time to time, Cheng Yu also wiped his sweat with his sleeve.

Last night, Cheng Yu saw that black figure rummaging in Mrs. Li's mouth, as if he was looking for something, so he wanted to ask the doctor to take a look.

"You don't have to blame Brother Daochang for this. If Brother Daochang said it clearly at that time, it is inevitable that there will be ears behind the wall and harm Master Li!"

Zhao Jinshu called his elder brother so loudly that Cheng Yu wished he could find a crack in the ground and slip in.

It was strangely quiet for a while, and Li Ling also seemed to be stunned for a while.When he entered the room, he heard the county magistrate calling the young man in green shirt His Highness, and he understood it in his heart, and saw Feng Ningxiang in white clothes sitting beside him.Knowing that this room actually gathered the royal family that he might not see once in his life.

Hearing the young man in green shirt calling Cheng Yu Daoist elder brother again, he knew that the relationship between the two was very close, so he reluctantly said: "Please forgive me for my stupid eyes, I have invited a noble person to my house, if the hospitality is not good, I hope the Taoist priest will not take offense."

What he said made Cheng Yu feel ashamed.

Feng Ningxiang coughed slightly, and drew everyone's attention back.

"Just now, where were we talking? Oh, that's right. Speaking of Mr. Li's falling into the water and coming back safely! It's really a blessing, and if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing..."

Before Feng Ningxiang finished speaking, Li Ling closed his eyes and said first: "It's not because I was lucky, but because someone saved me! And... I didn't come back safely..."

Speaking of this, Li Ling closed his eyes slightly and took a few deep breaths. On his already pale face, there was a somewhat hesitant and unspeakable expression.
