Liaozhai Great Sage

"If you had taken the soul of Mistress Wang away yesterday, how could such a thing have happened? How could you ghosts and gods be so kind to do things for my Li family? It is clear that you are afraid that after the Dongchuang incident, I will be angry. A piece of paper was written to the City God of Guobei City, so that you will lose your position and be punished."

He still didn't understand why these two ghost messengers stopped on the road in broad daylight and kowtowed to him for mercy.

Feelings have already been counted on this matter, so I begged for mercy in advance.

If it were a duller person, he might not realize this at the moment, and be fooled by these two little ghosts for nothing.

The two ghost messengers were startled, and they knelt on the ground in fright: "It's the little one who got in trouble with Mr. Li, and I ask Mr. Li to give the little one a chance, and the little one is willing to make up for it."

"Aren't you ghost messengers, why do you still beg me, a mortal?" Li Xiuyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly.

The two ghost messengers also had misery in their hearts. If they were ordinary people, they naturally wouldn't have to be so low-key, but the young master of the Li family has a very high fate, and even the city god is respectful. After arriving in Guo Beicheng, I really lost my life.

At this moment, these two ghost messengers are also smart, they just keep expressing their willingness to make up for their mistakes, and ask Li Xiuyuan to forgive them.

"Magistrate Liu is dead or alive today. Let me see how he treats my father. Aren't you a ghost messenger? Go to the cell to find out how my father is doing and whether he has been punished. If so, what happened? Punishment." Li Xiuyuan didn't compete with these two ghosts either.

Now is the time for employing people, and these two ghosts are more or less useful now.

"There are lions guarding the prison, and the two young ones dare not approach." The blue-faced ghost made a mistake.

The black-faced ghost guard said: "If Mr. Li can write a few words and get rid of those two stone lions, the younger one will be able to go to jail."

"You two ghosts know a lot." Li Xiuyuan snorted softly, and immediately took a pen and ink to write two words: Back off.

Then he tossed it out.

"Eldest young master wait a moment, the younger one will come as soon as he goes."

A gust of wind blew up, and the piece of paper that rolled up Li Xiuyuan flew into the distance.

The paper circled and danced in mid-air, heading straight for the county government jail.

The two ghost messengers came to the gate, and at this time they manifested their figures, but as soon as they landed, they heard two roars of lions, and the two stone lions placed at the gate of the prison seemed to come alive, opening their arms Glaring at the two ghost messengers, it seemed that as soon as they took a step forward, they would rush out and tear the two ghost messengers to pieces.

But at this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a letter with the word "Retreat" was blown by the wind and landed in front of the two stone lions.

The two stone lions immediately let out a low cry, and regained their calmness, no longer their previous fierce appearance.

"Hey, it's no wonder that Lord Chenghuang cares so much about the young master of the Li family. He is indeed a man with a very high fortune, and even the lion in front of the prison has to give in."

"It's also fortunate that we are lucky. The young master of the Li family used some method to seal his breath, otherwise ghosts and gods like us would not be able to get close to him."

"That's true. I guess it was the Taoist priest of the Taoist temple in Xiahe Village. He is an expert with great supernatural powers. When we passed by Guobei County last time, he waved his sleeves and flew out eight times. It took three days and three nights to get back from hundreds of miles away, and I almost died of exhaustion."

The two ghosts chatted one sentence at a time, turning into a gust of dark wind and blowing into the prison.

Chapter 52 Zhuge Wolong

After the two ghost guards took Li Xiuyuan's calligraphy and shooed away the two gatekeeper lions in front of the prison, they entered the prison without hindrance.

The prison in Guobei County is not big, but there are guards.

An old jailer was yawning at this time, taking a nap on a wooden table with a dim oil lamp beside him.

But at this moment, a gust of wind blew past, and the flame of the oil lamp flickered. It seemed that it might go out at any time, but it didn't go out after all. After the wind passed by, the flame of the oil lamp returned to normal.

When the old jailer who was taking a nap was blown by the dark wind, he fell asleep even more, and he was afraid that he would not wake up until the rooster crowed.

"Li Dafu, Li Dafu~!"

A faint voice gradually approached, but there was no way to figure it out, as if it had no source, it just appeared out of thin air.

I listened carefully, but I couldn't hear the sound.

The prisoners in the sleeping cells didn't notice at all, they just turned around and continued to sleep soundly.

"Li Dafu, where are you?" The voice sounded again, penetrating through every cell, and finally fell into a cell.

In this prison cell, a fat middle-aged man was lying on the straw mat and fell asleep at the moment. This person was none other than the master of the Li family, Li Dafu.

"Who, who is calling me?" Li Dafu woke up in a daze, but he wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't open them no matter what.

I just felt that my eyelids were extremely heavy, and I couldn't move my body.

However, Li Dafu forced himself to open his eyelids, and finally saw two official servants wearing yamen uniforms standing next to him. When it was clear which jailer it was, in the end, I only saw one of the two guards with a blue face and the other with a black face. As for the face, it was hazy and I couldn't see clearly.

"It's Li Dafu right." The black-faced ghost messenger said.

"Let him sleep, lest Mr. Li will scold us for scaring Mr. Li again. We can't afford to offend Mr. Li."

"It's true, but this Mr. Li is so different that he is not afraid of us ghosts and gods at all. On the contrary, we have a feeling of trepidation in front of Mr. Li, which is a few points more majestic than Lord Chenghuang."

While talking, the blue-faced ghost messenger blew another breath and let Li Dafu fall into a deep sleep.

"Are they sent by my son..." Li Dafu had only one thought before falling asleep.

"Hey, where is the foolish ghost? This Li Dafuyang has a very long lifespan, and he is not yet ready to die. Don't randomly arrest the wrong soul again." Suddenly at this time, in the cell opposite, A somewhat playful voice suddenly sounded.

"Someone saw us?" The two ghosts were taken aback.

Looking back, he saw a middle-aged man in the prison cell who was wearing a tattered gown and looked like a scholar sitting by the wall and looking at the two of them.

The man's hair was dirty and messy, and it looked like he hadn't washed it in years.

"Who are you, how can you see me waiting for ghosts?"

The black-faced ghost came striding forward, walked directly through the cell door, and walked in front of this dirty man.

"It's so strange to see ghosts and gods. There are many people in this world who can see you. Why should you care about me? I advise you to choose someone if you want to keep your soul. You can't hold Li Dafu's soul." The dirty smelly man said.

The ghost messenger with a blue face came over and sized him up, but he saw that although this person was extremely filthy, his eyes were bright and energetic, and his writing above his head was full of energy, with all kinds of meanings, reasons, and words constantly fluctuating, vaguely connecting heaven and earth. Even if he is a ghost messenger, if he wants to investigate again, he will only feel a dazzling light shining down from the sky, preventing him from continuing to watch this person.

"He is actually a real scholar, rare, rare, I have met Mr.." He was startled immediately, and cupped his hands.

The black-faced ghost messenger also noticed this, put away his contempt, and became a lot more respectful.

"I'm a prisoner, and I don't deserve the respect of you ghosts and gods. Let's go, let's go, don't disturb my sleep. If you want to find a substitute for the dead ghost, go to the No. [-] cell over there. People are acting as scapegoats, this Li Dafu can't do it." The dirty man said.

"I'm not here to find a scapegoat."

"Ghosts believe you. The best thing you ghost messengers do is this kind of business. You take heavy bribes from others, resurrect people, and then go to this prison to find someone to work for the dead ghost. Tsk, it's the same in this world. If you make a lot of money to bribe the county Ling, the death penalty can also be replaced by someone else, hey, don't say it, don't say it, just keep sleeping and I will sleep."

The dirty and smelly man mocked a few words to himself, then stopped talking, turned around and fell asleep.

The two ghost guards glanced at each other, shook their heads, said nothing more, and exited the cell with one hand.

This is an unusual scholar, it's better not to provoke him.
