Before he could see the man's face clearly, a gust of wind suddenly blew in front of Wu Tomaoqing's eyes.

"Miki, get out of that boat!"

Wu Tomao shouted at him anxiously not far away.

The boat began to tremble violently, Wu Tomaoqing's position also turned into a whirlpool of a storm, and the river lanterns began to revolve crazily around him.

'Crack! '

There was a dull sound, and the hull of the boat began to break apart from the middle. Wu Tomaoqing tapped his toes, and jumped out of the boat. The river lanterns seemed to surround him consciously again, and the burning flames illuminated the river surface. It burned more and more intensely, and soon a single spark burned into a huge fire circle.

Frowning, Wu Tomaqing mobilized his true energy, and silently recited a formula, several water jets rose from the river, dousing the raging fire.

Although Wu Tomao Qing dodged, Wu Tomao Yu who was standing outside the circle of fire was drenched in water.

It was late autumn at this moment, the midnight river water was bitingly cold, Wu Tomaoyu was shivering from the cold, but from the corner of his eye, he saw the ugly expression of his own junior brother Mu Mu.

Although his unsightly appearance was only due to his frowning was tighter than usual, but Wu Tomato could still tell that his junior brother was really angry.

The broken boat and the few people on board disappeared, leaving only the river lanterns soaked in the water everywhere, and in this mess, a bright river lantern floated leisurely from a distance. Come over and stop slowly in front of Wu Tomaoqing.

"Beware of cheating!" Seeing that Wu Tomaoqing was about to pick it up, Wu Tomao hurriedly reminded him.

Wu Tomaoqing paused with his outstretched hand, and finally picked up the lamp. The lamp looked ordinary and had nothing special about it, but when they started to move, the flames on the river lamp disappeared. It jumped down and flew in front of the two of them.

"Extradition lamp." Wu Tomato touched his chin and pondered.

The extradition lamp, as the name suggests, is a small magic weapon used to guide the way. This lamp was supposed to be something from the underworld, and it was specially made to guide the evil spirits on the Wangchuan River, but now it appeared here for some reason.

The flames jumped up and down in mid-air, looking for the direction of the road ahead. When they came, they felt very fast, but when they went back, they felt that they went around several times before they saw the embankment of the Liujiang River.

Unlike the dark night they were in just now, the sky outside has turned white.

When they landed on the shore, the flame completed the task, but did not leave in a hurry. It danced a few times in front of Wu Tomaoqing, and then slowly returned to the river lantern, extinguished the flame, and turned into a few rows of black spots on it. small print.

Wu Tomaoqing picked it up and spread out the paper on the river lantern. There were only a few paragraphs on it, which roughly meant:

In the 12th year of Yuanfeng, there was a flower girl named Ruyan in Chunmanlou. She met a scholar who was going to Beijing to rush for the exam, and they hit it off. After hearing this, everyone laughed at her wishful thinking, but never thought that after the scholar got the honor, he really came back and married her. Cigarettes were discovered to have an affair with others and soaked the pig cage.

And what was written in the second half of the letter was that Ruyan had actually been wronged, no matter how affectionate she was, it was not worth the gossip in the streets and alleys. After seeing this scholar, he also had other thoughts in his heart, he stopped going to Ruyan's courtyard, started to linger around the flowers and plants outside, and finally empathized with the daughter of the Xiangfu, the master of the Xiangfu had long known that his family had already passed away. I didn't want to have a wife, but my daughter was actually attached to him, and secretly decided to live forever. The master of the Xiangfu couldn't do it, so he made a condition that no one in the backyard could let the daughter of the Xiangfu marry him.

When the scholar heard this, even if he wanted to get rid of Ruyan, who was born in the land of fireworks, and climb up the high branches of this prime minister's mansion, but even though Ruyan had a bad background, after marrying him, he was indeed gentle and virtuous, obedient and virtuous, and even the neighbors treated her Improved.

He couldn't find a way to get rid of Ruyan for a while, and he was upset for a long time. In the end, his cousin came up with the idea to use Ruyan's identity to fake the illusion that he was having an affair with others. My cousin has evil intentions, and has long had other thoughts on Ruyan, not only raped her by force, but also let several servants in the same company insult her together, when the scholar arrived with his people, Ruyan was already on the verge of death She passed out on the ground, but the scholar didn't show any mercy, and together with others, they immersed her in the Liujiang River in the name of Ruyan's fornication.

The love full of her heart turned into resentment, Ruyan gave up the way of reincarnation, turned into a ghost, and killed those who insulted her back then, leaving only the person she hated the most.

She was waiting at the entrance of the Hongxiulou, and she was going to kill the scholar who came to the Hongxiulou to steal, but she never expected to run into Wu Tomao and Qing, which disrupted all her plans.

"This Ruyan is also a poor person." Wu Tomaoyu shook his head regretfully.

Since ancient times, there has been a lot of love and nothing to hate. The saddest thing in the world is love.

At the end of the letter, it said that they had to do this because they were afraid they would not know the truth. They also said that they hadn't stolen their jade gourd, but just changed the place.

Wu Tomato searched his body carefully, but found nothing extra, and said angrily, "This man can't be a liar! I even looked inside the shoes!"

Wu Tomao Qing lowered his head and thought for a moment, then touched his sleeve, and found a foreign object inside, and took it out to see that it was the small jade gourd that Wu Tomoma had lost.

"..."

Wu Tomato: "When did you put it in your place?"

Wu Tomaoqing: "..."

Wu Tomato: "Even you didn't find out?"

Wu Tomao, who was staring at the jade gourd in his hand in a trance, paused for a moment, then shook his head stiffly after a moment of silence.

"When did Liuzhou City produce so many masters?"

Wu Tomaoyu muttered, seeing that Wu Tomaoqing had put away the jade gourd and was about to leave, he asked, "Is that how it is?"

"How about we good people do it to the end and help this Ruyan?"

A trace of disgust flashed in Wu Tomaoqing's eyes, and his tone became a little colder, "Don't be a fuss!"

"Don't be troublesome, isn't this a good deed every day? Do some good deeds, maybe you will ascend faster!"

Wu Tomao abruptly snatched the jade gourd from Wu Tomqing's hand, "We'll deal with the scholar first, and then it won't be too late to go back to the mountain!"

Wu Tomaoqing's mouth was pursed into a straight line, and his gloomy face represented that he was in a bad mood. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance of plum. Eyebrows: "What's the smell?"

"It doesn't smell like it?"

Wu Tomato raised his sleeves and smelled it, and suddenly realized that the female ghost's paper skin was still on his body, so he took it out of his arms and handed it to him, "Is this it? What's the matter? Didn't you say it was Mei Xiang?"

Wu Tomaoqing took it over, the paper skin feels almost the same as human skin, but after rubbing it twice, there will be a shallow crease on it, but the crease disappears quickly, and after a while, it is gone again. restored.

"Do you think this thing was made by the old bustard?"

Wu Tomaoqing pondered for a moment, then shook his head affirmatively, "No."

"Who is that?"

"But I seem to see that you are quite concerned about who the owner of this cardboard is? Do you know him?"

The golden clouds at dawn sprinkled little by little in the river, and everything that happened last night was like a dream in my heart.

"I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

Wu Tomato looked back at him in surprise, "What have you seen?"

"The chess player."

There was a rare flash of distress in Wu Tomaoqing's eyes.

Wu Tomato, who had never seen him like this before, was inexplicably amused, and teased with malicious intentions: "Didn't I see him in a dream?"

Wu Tomaoqing lowered his head and thought for a while, and then replied firmly: "No."

Wu Tomaoyu, who was just about to start teasing, caught a glimpse of Wu Tomaoqing's eyes from the corner of his eye, and was shocked in his heart. The eyes were very familiar and strange, strange because they appeared in Wu Tomaoqing's eyes, and familiar because he Seen in one's eyes once.

"I must have seen him."

He seemed to be muttering to himself, but there was certainty in his words, and he was a little angry in a daze.

"You can't be stunned, are you?" Wu Tomao patted Wu Tomao Qing's shoulder, smiling very maliciously.

...

Wu Tomaoyu inquired about the scholar's identity from Liu Fu, and learned that after the daughter of the Xiangfu married the scholar, all his wives and concubines were only the daughter of the Xiangfu. It was a good story, and the scholar's father-in-law directly entrusted someone to get him into the Imperial Academy as a bachelor's student. Now that he is still young, he will soon be promoted to the fourth rank. It can be said that the future is bright and the scenery is boundless.

"It's unlucky for the daughter of the Xiangfu! It's just such a passionate person!"

Wu Tomaoyu sighed, how could an inexperienced woman know about the romantic affairs of this gentle and considerate husband who treats her like a guest outside, although there are no concubines in the courtyard, the female Jiao'e outside has a lot of love. Not much, but he was cunning and no one noticed.

If Ruyan still had a trace of friendship with the scholar back then, then seeing this scholar who came to Liuzhou City to drink flowers and wine with his pregnant wife on his back, that trace of friendship really disappeared.

It didn't take long before a big incident happened in the palace. Wu Qing, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, was found to have had an affair with a court lady. Maybe the emperor would care about his old father-in-law's face and punish him lightly, but the night before, the national teacher told him that there might be troubles in the palace recently. Hearing this, he felt a lump in his heart. It just so happened that when the matter about the scholar came out the next day, he thought of the words of the national teacher. He guessed that the scholar was the source of the catastrophe. After being imprisoned, rumors spread about those romantic affairs, and the matter of Ruyan was also exposed.

The murders in Liuzhou City were covered up by Liu Fu and did not cause any disturbance.

As much as the common people felt pity for Ruyan, they hated that scholar as much. He was notorious for a while, and everyone scolded him.

This Xiangfu daughter is also a ruthless person, after hearing about the scholar's affairs, Dang even gave the scholar a letter of reconciliation, and went back to the Xiangfu alone with a pregnant belly.

Since then, she lived alone for the rest of her life and never remarried.

After his death, his descendants found a somewhat worn-out purse on her body. When he opened it, it turned out that it was the broken hair of her and the scholar who were entangled with the scholar during the wedding night.

Sometimes it is not ruthless to make a quick decision, it is precisely because of the deep love that there is no room for sand in the eyes.

As for the scholar in the prison, he was found dead in the prison on the second day after he was locked in. It is said that he was frightened to death...

The old master in the palace smiled happily as he looked at the letter expressing his gratitude and the gift of a panacea that could only be refined in a century.

Ruyan finally let go of her hatred and went to the underworld to accept the punishment she deserved.

In fact, she didn't tell anyone that she had a murderous desire for the book as early as in the capital, and when she came to his mansion, she saw the scholar stroking the belly of the prime minister's daughter, whose face was full of tenderness and love ...

Afterwards, she sat on the eaves of a high-rise building for the whole night, and only left when it was almost dawn.

It's a pity that the scholar failed to live up to the affection of the two women in the end...

Everything seems to be happy, but it seems to be regretful, but it is indeed over.

Before leaving, Ruyan handed Wu Tomaoqing an envelope, and told her to open it only after she left.

"...Pingyang City"

There were only three big characters crookedly written on the letter paper, and a dry plum branch was pinned to the side.
