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

We rearranged the house where the dead man was hanging, smoothed the footprints on the ground, restored it to the way no one had been, and returned the same way. We arrived at the first room with the leader's mural. When we went back, we found that the veil on the leader's face had returned by itself. It was still the same as when we first entered the room. It was so charming and charming. It was really evil. Could it be that this leader was really Have you become an immortal through cultivation?

Without thinking too much, we covered the footprints with soil, gently closed the door, and returned the same way we came, back to the underground cellar of the haunted house. We re-sealed the second hole so that no one could see where it had been. There is also a mystery. Carrying the giant salamander out of the ghost building, after doing this, it is already dark.

The next day, I returned to the county government office and reported to the county magistrate Ming. He placed the giant salamander in the hall and raised the hall again. The hall was very lively. Not only the original defendant and his party, but also the neighbors came to watch the fun. At this time, the giant salamander had woken up and was twisting its body. However, it was tied up and became harmless, and it was making baby-like sounds. Now the truth is revealed, and everyone suddenly realizes that it is the beast that has been haunting the place, and it is not a concubine with a ghostly fetus that locks her life, it is just a legend. The defendant withdrew the complaint in court and went home to live in peace.

After two days, everything was peaceful. That day, the county magistrate happily praised the two of us, saying that the superiors were very happy. Not only had the rumor of the haunted house been broken, but the salamander presented was a local treasure and had been released into the Qinling Mountains. He was also rewarded with a Month's salary.

We thanked the county magistrate. This stingy gentleman only praised us verbally and did not give us any material rewards. Forget it, let’s leave him more pension money.

The two of us concealed the matter about the Red Lotus Sect, because if we mobilized a large number of people to investigate, we would definitely alert others, and it would be even harder to find their whereabouts. But where to check it? We had no idea for a moment.

That day, a member of the Communist Party of China named Dong Ze'an came to report that his daughter had been kidnapped and eloped by Liang Qi from the herbal medicine store in the south of the city, and he begged the government to take her away.

The county magistrate took the case to court and asked, "You said Liang Qi abducted your daughter, do you have proof?"

Dong Ze'an said: "My surname is Dong, and my family is not prosperous. I only have a 16-year-old daughter. My family has the habit of going home to worship ancestors every Qingming Festival, so I went to visit relatives in my hometown in the countryside with my wife, and we kept several children at home. I ordered a girl to keep my little girl company. Unexpectedly, when I returned home, I found that my little girl disappeared together with a girl named Lily. Later, I found a letter in my little girl’s boudoir. The letter said that I would make an appointment with my little girl the day before yesterday. We ran away together, and the signature was Liang Qi. Master, this is the proof." As he said that, he took out a piece of letterhead from his arms.

The county magistrate opened the letter, and it was indeed written that he missed the young lady, and that the matchmaker was rejected. Finally, he made an appointment to wait outside the backyard wall, and they immediately arranged to elope.

After reading the letter, the county magistrate immediately said angrily: "It's unreasonable. You dare to blatantly kidnap a decent woman in broad daylight. Come, go to Liang Qi's house and bring someone in for questioning."

After receiving the order, several government officials and I went to Liang Qi's home. We found that there was only a clerk in the herbal medicine shop, and Liang Qi was not there. The clerk said that his son had gone to Henan to purchase medicinal materials a few days ago and had not returned yet. He had been gone for several days. Day. We searched all over, but there was indeed no Liang Qi, and we couldn't find any of his clothes or belongings in his room, as if he had traveled far away.

He returned to the Yamen and reported to the master. The master painted portraits, posted notices, and ordered people to send out a co-investigation overnight, notifying Henan officials to assist in the arrest of Liang Qi. Liang Qi was soon found and brought to the court. The county magistrate was stunned and shouted:

"Tell me! Who is your surname? Where do you live? Who else is there in the family? What do you do for a living?"

Look at Liang Qi again, she looks like a frail scholar, but she is somewhat delicate. She is kneeling in the hall with shackles, her body is shaking like chaff. The servants and family members around her are also kneeling on the ground, shouting that they are wronged.

"The villain's name is Liang Qi. He lives in Nancheng. His old mother lives with the villain at home. He usually works in a herbal medicine shop and also receives medical treatment and prescribes prescriptions."

"Since Xuan Hu helps the world and understands the king's laws, why are you still so bold, abducting women from good families, and instigating Miss Dong to elope with you? Tell me, where did you take Miss Dong?"

When Liang Qi heard this, she was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she shouted that she was wronged: "This villain has never eloped with Miss Dong. Please tell me clearly!"

The county magistrate was furious when he heard this: "You Liang Qi, you are so stubborn even when you are about to die, look at this as evidence that you abducted Miss Dong! Tell me, how did you meet Miss Dong, and how did you coax her to elope with you?" "After that, he threw the letter to Liang Qi.

Liang Qi read it, her whole body went limp, and cried: "This letter was indeed written by the villain, but the villain did not see the lady that night. From the fourth watch to the fifth watch, the lady did not come out. The villain did not come out." I was afraid that someone would see me at dawn, so I went home.”

The old mother Liang Qi beside her kowtowed: "My son did not abduct Miss Dong. My ancestors always opened a medicine shop to make a living. My son has loved to read medical books since he was a child and has good medical skills. When people nearby are sick, they will come to the medicine shop for treatment. He took medicine and sometimes went to see doctors, and his reputation has always been very good. However, when he was 19 years old, he was led astray by a group of urban dandies. He actually became interested in Long Yang. He only wanted to associate with men and hated women. After six or seven years of this, people proposed to my son one after another, but he rejected them all. How could he have an affair with Miss Dong?"

When I heard my mother talking about his hidden addiction, I noticed a trace of fear in his eyes and immediately interrupted his mother:

"Sir, don't listen to my mother. I don't have any habit of cutting my sleeves. It's just a childish thing, just for fun. Since that day I went to Dong's house to diagnose Miss Dong's pulse, and I suddenly fell in love with Miss Dong for some reason. , Miss Dong is also in love with me and has secretly formed a love affair with me. I swear that I will no longer have any good relations with men. I am willing to marry Miss Dong as my wife. I will live a peaceful life and never do any random things. But I know my mother’s temper and value her reputation. , I was afraid that she would not be able to accept such a scandalous act of getting pregnant out of wedlock. So, I wanted to go to Dong's Mansion to propose marriage first. If I agreed, I would talk to my mother slowly. By then, it would be natural and my mother would not object. I I secretly sent someone to Dong's house to propose marriage, but Mr. Dong couldn't make a living. But I had no choice but to make an appointment with Miss Dong and run away to my aunt's house outside the city. I planned to cook rice and cook. I wrote a letter to escape, but it didn't work. I didn’t wait for Miss Dong, these are all facts, please tell me clearly!”

I don't think Liang Qi is lying, because when lying, you need to mobilize your energy. The brain needs to concentrate and think quickly, so it will mobilize excess blood in the body. The increase in blood pressure will cause the cavernous structure in the nose to expand several millimeters, and the nerves in the nasal cavity will There will be a tingling sensation at the tip, so people will touch their nose consciously. There are also people who lie, dare not look directly at the other person, always avoid looking directly at the other person, always avoid the other person's eyes, or look elsewhere unconsciously, and their eyes are a little blurred. And liars will also keep repeating themselves, but I didn't see any of these little tricks on Liang Qi. Either what he said is true, or this person has extremely high psychological quality.

During the interrogation of Liang Qi, he was not panicked about abducting Ms. Dong and was very firm. He felt that he was not lying. However, when his mother mentioned that he had a habit of cutting off sleeves, he was obviously flustered and felt fear. This There are many articles in it, and I secretly feel that this matter may be related to the Red Lotus Sect.

At this time, the fat man murmured: "I don't understand, how can a man fall in love with a man? They all stink, what's so cute about him?"

I said: "There have always been stories of gay men falling in love in history, and there is also the term 'stinky man'. In the Han Dynasty, many emperors not only loved the country and beautiful women, but also loved men. During the Han Dynasty, it was very popular for men to fall in love with each other. Emperors are also as good as Longyang when it comes to pampering. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, and Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Liu Heng, were not immune to this custom. The most egregious one was Emperor Ai of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xin. He actually abolished the queen for the sake of a male favorite, and even wanted to abdicate the throne to him. This is even more... If you don’t love the country, you’ll love a handsome man!”

I continued: "I feel that Liang Qi is hiding a lot of things. We need to find time to chat with him alone. Maybe we can ask something."

So, Fatty and I decided to visit Liang Qi in the prison at night to see if we had any new gains.
