Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

I slept until midnight when I suddenly felt someone pinching my face. I woke up suddenly and saw Liu Qingqing lying next to me, tearing my face apart with his hands.

"Are you sick? Do you want to rob money or sex? We don't have money. If you want to rob sex, I will consider it?" I crossed my chest with my hands, as if in shock.

When Liu Qingqing saw that I was awake, she rolled over and got out of bed, folding her arms with a look of disdain on her face:

"Tch, who can fall in love with you! I just want to see if you are wearing a human skin mask. You can deceive daddy and madam. That's because they love you too much and are confused by love, so they are attracted by you. I'm confused by the deception. But you can't deceive me, you are not the master at all. The master is a gentleman, and you are a rogue. Tell me, who are you? Did you harm my master and pretend to be him? What do you have? attempt?"

Can I tell her that I am a modern person more than 2000 years later, who traveled through time? Even if I say it, she still has to believe it. So I rolled my eyes and said:

"You girl usually looks very smart, but you can be confused no matter what. People are all two-sided. Maybe it's because I lost my memory after getting sick and forgot about my original self, and the hidden side came out." I deliberately moved my face closer to her, road:

"Do you like me as I am now or as I was before?" After saying that, he laughed a few times, looking like a rogue.

"Humph, don't be too happy too early. I will keep an eye on you sooner or later. One day I will pull out your little tail and we will see!" After saying that, he clenched his fists and turned around to leave. I smiled helplessly, and it seemed that the days ahead were not going to be easy.

By the way, I have been working as an errand in the county government for some time. County Magistrate Wang is an old man who wants to be stable in everything. He only wants to save some money so that he can retire and return to his hometown to take care of himself.

There is a coroner in the yamen who is about the same age as me. His name is Zheng Xiaodong. He is a fat man. The scale may have hit his head. He loves to eat, knows how to eat, and is bold. He is a person who can sleep with the dead. Once I made a bet and slept with the dead for three nights in Yizhuang in the south of the city. I won five taels of silver and went to Shunjixiang Restaurant to get drunk.

The government officials all thought he was unlucky and didn't interact with him very much, but I was very quarrelsome with him. He always wanted to cause trouble. When I was feeling uncomfortable, I would either drink in restaurants or go hunting in the city, but my days were pretty good. Live a happy life.

On this day, someone from the county government office, which had been quiet for a long time, started playing drums. It turned out that Liu Er, who had just started doing business, sued Yapo and the landlord, saying that they collaborated to deceive him into renting a haunted house, and demanded a refund of the rent and compensation for the losses.

The thing is like this, Liu Er's ancestral home is in Jiangsu, and he does a silk business in Wugong County. The business is still prosperous, and he has been living in a shop. Recently, a matchmaker arranged a marriage, and he can no longer live in the shop. In the city Since he couldn't afford a house, he asked his wife to help him find a quieter house in the west of the city to rent.

Soon Yapo introduced a house. The house was spacious and clean. The key was that the rent was not expensive. I was very satisfied. Who would have thought that not long after I moved here, I heard a child crying every night, but there were no residents around the house, and the child's crying was different from normal children. Sometimes it was intermittent, swaying, and sometimes it was lingering. It's like crying at the top of one's throat due to extreme hunger. The sound is simply terrifying. At first, I thought someone had dumped the child here, but I searched all around the house and still couldn't find any trace of the child.

Later, I heard from a neighbor that this two-story wooden building was first inhabited by a wealthy man named Li Ronggui, who was a businessman. He opened a pawnshop in the city and married a young lady from a wealthy family. Later, because the young lady was infertile, he was married to a young lady from a wealthy family. Got a concubine. This concubine was not only beautiful, but also very popular with Li Ronggui after she was married. She became pregnant in less than two months. The eldest lady was jealous, and one day she had a dispute with her concubine. She said that she had violated the rules and ignored her pregnancy.

The concubine was humiliated, dressed in red clothes and red shoes late at night, found a piece of white silk and hanged herself. Since then, there are rumors that the concubine has become a ghost, and the fetus in her arms has also become a ghost fetus. She often cries late at night and wants to take the life of the eldest lady. The eldest lady is so frightened that she goes crazy and says all day long that a ghost is trying to kill her. , which disturbed the peace of the house, Li Ronggui had no choice but to sell the house at an extremely cheap price. He also left the city and looked for another place to make a living.

The current landlord didn't live in the house himself, so he asked the monks and Taoists to help him clean up the house, and tidied it up again. He thought that it would be fine if he drove out the ghosts, and planned to rent it out to earn some money, so he asked Yapo for help to find out if there was any Guests.

"My little one can hear the pitiful cries of ghost fetuses every night, and I feel like there are people moving around in the room. It's really scary, and I really don't dare to live there anymore. But this hateful bitch conspired with the landlord to deceive me that I'm a foreigner, saying that I'm a little kid." Dehun said that he just didn’t want to refund Xiao’s rent, so he came to file a complaint. He hoped that the county magistrate would take notice and give Xiao Xiao justice.”

Magistrate Wang had long been impatient. He threw a token and asked me and two government servants to go to the house to have a look, and then withdrew.

I suddenly became interested in this matter. I have been educated by the Party for many years, and I am also a narrow-minded proletarian atheist. Even if I travel back to the Tang Dynasty, my thoughts cannot change. There must be no ghosts, or someone is causing trouble. , or there is something else hidden.

When Zheng Xiaodong heard that it was haunted, he became interested. He believed in ghosts, but wanted to see for himself what the ghosts looked like. I couldn't help but educate him:

"Xiaodong, you are full of feudalism. I, the proletariat, want to rule you. There are no ghosts in the world. When have you ever seen a ghost? Have you ever eaten with a ghost?"

Zheng Xiaodong was stunned for a moment and said:

"Brother Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? Why can't I understand? However, there is really something wrong. My father said that I was born with double pupils, which is different from ordinary people. If there is something strange, my left eye My pupils will turn golden and I can see things that others can't see, but I haven't noticed anything different from others since I've grown so big. This time I want to see if I can really see ghosts!"

Oh, I lost my temper with this old stubborn, so I patted him on the shoulder:

"Come on, let's go see it with my brother. I want to see what the hell it is!"

I heard from Liu Er that the crying usually started at midnight, so the four of us arrived in front of this two-story building on the outskirts of Xicheng before midnight.

It was the Qingming Festival at this time, and it was warm and cold at first, and the moonlight was pale. There was a field of crops all around, and there were only other houses and people separated by several places. It felt a bit desolate. At this time, the sad wind started again, blowing the branches, and it felt like the sobbing of the innocent souls who had been driven into the netherworld. The fat man and I couldn't help but get chills on the backs of our necks.
