the emperor's man catches ghosts

"To tell you the truth, I don't believe you." Yun Yu stood in front of the window with her hands behind her back, "As I said earlier, that Wang Zhi didn't just kill people in Beijing, everyone who was bitten by him became monsters like him , and there is a tendency to spread it to a hundred. If it is not for the master of Tingyunguan, the capital will be a purgatory in a few days. And he is from Shiying, just when you take office."

He turned his head to look at Xiao Changli, saw his bandaged wound still glowing with blood, and his expression was a bit complicated: "Although you were not involved in Xiao Qianlin's rebellion, how can you judge some things just by looking at the surface?"

Xiao Changli said: "What the emperor said is reasonable."

Yun Yu saw that his expression was shallow, and felt that she might be a villain at heart, and said after a long time: "Even if this matter has nothing to do with you, Gu Li Kingdom's intentions need to be found out as soon as possible."

"My servant will definitely do his best."

Yun Yu told him to take good care of his wounds, and was about to go out when Xiao Changli said, "I'm afraid it was not a coincidence that I was attacked just now, please return to Beijing as soon as possible. The matter of becoming a queen is related to the fate of the country, although it is a bit urgent Don't neglect your responsibilities..."

Yun Yu interrupted him: "Okay, I've heard a lot of things like this, and you're not alone. If Gu Li's heart is revealed, isn't it more urgent than Li Hou? Take care of your wounds, I... don't want to owe you anything. "

Turning around and before closing the door, Yun Yu saw Xiao Changli's eyes still coming towards her, and was inexplicably embarrassed, as if she was his prisoner.

This person is sometimes even more verbose than the Tai Tuo, and he has a single-mindedness. It's no wonder that the father had a headache when he saw his remonstrance.

Yun Yu even thought of the scene where she was sitting in the Golden Luan Hall and this person was standing upright, scolding herself for this or that, so she couldn't help being a little annoyed and funny.

"Immortal, your sword is so special, why is it made of wood?" Susu was very interested in Han Ziyu, as he said, a person who can catch ghosts must be the most powerful person.

Such a powerful person naturally needs to curry favor and build a good relationship.

Han Ziyu said: "This is peach wood, which is more powerful than gold and iron."

"Peach wood? Can this thing kill people?" Susu cautiously stretched out her hand to touch the fairy sword.

With a sound of "whoosh", the mahogany sword lay across Susu's neck, and Han Ziyu smiled leisurely: "You can try it."

"No...no need..." Susu moved the sword away with her fingertips. Although it was made of peach wood, the tentacles didn't feel the slightest woody touch, and the coldness was overwhelming.

Susu withdrew her hand and flattered her: "Immortal, you are so powerful, can you accept me as a disciple and teach me the ability to catch ghosts?"

Han Ziyu raised his sword and knocked on his forehead, and then on the back of his head again: "There is nothing, and the qualifications are not good, so I won't accept it."

Su Su felt aggrieved, and it wasn't about picking watermelons.

Leaning closer, he continued to please: "Immortal, as the saying goes, hard work can make up for one's weakness. If you teach me, maybe my aptitude will come?"

Han Ziyu glanced at him: "Do you really want to learn?"

Susu nodded straight.

Han Ziyu looked at the sky, and leisurely raised his legs: "Sparse stars and bright moon, lonely and empty courtyard, why should I be with you?"

Susu nodded cleverly, and ran away in a hurry. After a while, she brought peanuts and melon seeds, sat down and peeled them cheerfully: "Eating these is the best way to pass the time."

Han Ziyu sighed, "Just say you don't have this talent."

Susu was puzzled. She looked at the melon seeds and then the peanuts: "You don't like it? There are still..."

"Is there any wine?"

"Have."

"Bring it."

"Oh." Susu patted the melon seed shell on her hand and muttered, "If you want to drink, you should have said it earlier..."

Han Ziyu peeled a peanut slowly and put it in his mouth, and said to the passing figures: "There is moon and wine, so of course a beautiful woman is needed to live up to the good night. I wonder if the nobleman will show you face?"

The man paused, and walked over. After walking out of the shadow of the tree, there was an elegant and refined face favored by Yuehua, but there was a little dissatisfaction on his face: "Sir, you should not be here if you want to find a beautiful woman."

Han Ziyu said with a smile: "Where there is, you can look for it. Why look far away. What's more, people in the world are vulgar. How can they have the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor?"

Yun Yu was even more dissatisfied, and somewhat understood Yun Jin's displeasure when someone praised her appearance.

At this moment, Susu brought the wine and spread it on the stone table: "Let's go down."

"Okay." Han Ziyu poured a glass and smelled it, "It's a pity that it's bad wine, and it failed this good time." He walked over and handed it to Yun Yu, "Please don't be disgusted."

Yun Yu didn't pick it up, turned around and wanted to leave: "Since it's bad wine, why drink it? It's late at night and the dew is heavy, so it's better to rest earlier."

Han Ziyu handed over a sincere smiling face: "Although the wine is not good, the food is good, why don't you take a look?"

"What?" Yun Yu stopped.

Han Ziyu took out a wooden figurine from his bosom and handed it over: "This object is made of wooden carvings, and it can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil. It is much better than that piece of ice soul, and I can't give it up."

Yun Yu glanced at it, and saw that the wood of this villain was as smooth as jade and fat, and the carving was exquisite and natural. It was like a miniature version of himself. He was naive and cute, so he couldn't help liking it. "Thank you, it's just that you don't get rewarded for nothing..."

"Be careful, there is no need to talk about merit." Han Ziyu stuffed the things into his hands, "It is enough for the emperor to be with you all the time."

Yun Yu thanked and accepted it, and played with it for a while after returning to the room.

"What is that, I want it too." Susu was fascinated.

"Want?" Han Ziyu put down his wine glass, his eyes were shining brightly, and he smiled gracefully, "In the next life."

Susu pouted, and took away the wine, melon seeds and peanuts, leaving him no shells.Han Ziyu smiled and flicked his fingers at his back, Susu bumped her head against the tree.

"Sister, he bullied me!" Susu got up and rubbed her forehead while stomping her feet angrily. Unfortunately, the sister who would appear immediately when she shouted before didn't even show a ghost.

He had no choice but to stick out his tongue at Han Ziyu for a long time, scolded the bad guy, and then walked back to the room in desperation.Han Ziyu sat alone under the moon, smiled and shook his head: "What a fool."

The next day, the sky was cloudy and rainy, and the weather was suddenly much colder. Shiying County was located in the north, and the chill was even worse.Yun Yu came all the way here so as not to show off, so she didn't bring any salutes. She caught a cold overnight, and when she got up early in the morning, she felt that her throat was itchy and uncomfortable, and she couldn't find a thicker coat.

I wanted to order my servants to cook a bowl of hot soup, but seeing the disrespectful and impatient faces, I suppressed this idea.

Yuan Zhan's body has almost recovered, and he is waiting outside the door for orders.Yun Yu asked him to buy some clothes, Yuan Zhan went there for a while, and when he came back, he said that there was no branch of Guangtong Bank in this place, and he couldn't exchange the money, and the hundreds of taels of silver bills they brought from the capital were like waste paper .

Yun Yu caressed her forehead, what a ghostly place.

Unexpectedly, after a while, a servant brought some clothes, the materials and styles were all of good quality, not like the expensive goods that can be found in Shi Ying.

Yun Yu was quite novel, so she took one and put it on, it fits very well, and the pattern of azure flowing clouds complements his fair and handsome skin, giving him an overpowering aura.

"Master Xiao's holy intentions are well thought out, this child can be taught..." Yun Yu was about to praise someone when she went out, but she saw that the person standing outside was not Xiao Changli, but Han Ziyu.

"Are you satisfied with the clothes?" Han Ziyu's brows were bright and her eyes curved with a smile, "They were all sent directly from Tongzhou. They are not as expensive as those in the palace, so I have to make do with them."

Yun Yu said: "Thank you sir. Yuan Zhan, send some silver taels to sir."

Yuan Zhan was about to take it, but Han Ziyu stretched out his hand and pushed the bank note back: "Why are you being polite to me? It's a blessing not to despise vulgar things. The emperor must be hungry, and the county government can't make anything good, so why don't you follow me?" Go to the restaurant for breakfast. Although the place is dilapidated, there is a small spot called Linglong Bao, which is good, and you can eat it."

Before Yun Yu could speak, Han Ziyu took Yun Yu's wrist and led him away.Xiao Changli held the robe he had scented for a long time, turned around and left.

The county yamen and others thought that the county magistrate was injured last night and must be resting in bed today, so they all tacitly agreed and arrived an hour late.When they came to the county government office, they saw Xiao Changli sitting in the hall with a stack of official documents and books piled up on the case, and they couldn't help shivering.

Liu Yuanzhi had a relatively high official position for a long time, and was pushed out by everyone, so he had to say anxiously: "My lord, you are in poor health, why don't you take a few more days to recuperate?"

"I don't dare to slack off due to official duties." Xiao Changli picked up the account book and said, "I am not good at checking accounts, but after a cursory look, there seem to be many omissions and shortages. I'm more familiar with it, I wonder if I can do it for you?"

Liu Yuanzhi broke out in a cold sweat, and took the account book with both hands: "Your official...will do my best to share your worries."

Xiao Changli picked up the household registration book again, and said, "Is there a detailed record of the increase or decrease of the population in the county?"

Liu Yuan said straightly: "Everything is in the record, don't dare to neglect it."

Xiao Changli said: "Since it is on the record, there is no survivor in the whole village of Huaishan Village, why is there no record?"

Liu Yuanzhi was dripping with cold sweat: "This...the epidemic is prevalent in that place. The magistrate of Shao County died before, and the lord has not yet taken office. The lower official sent someone to visit, but this person just, never came back, and the lower official is also..."

Xiao Changli said: "Have you ever found out the source of the epidemic?"

Liu Yuanzhi's voice became lower and lower: "This...no one dares to go...Oh, it's because of that woman!" As if he had caught a life-saving straw, his voice suddenly raised, startling Zhao Lin beside him, "She fell into a strange disease as soon as she came, and it was because of her!"

Xiao Changli looked at the household registration booklet and said, "Why isn't this girl mentioned in the booklet?"

Liu Yuan said straightly: "She is not from this county. It is said that she came here as a refugee. She was chased away several times before, but she just refused to leave. Later, when she got sick, the Shaozhi county arrested her. Alas, she shouldn't have come here at the beginning. Take her in, and if we drive her away in time, many villagers will not die."

"Where's Wang Zhi?"

"Wang Zhi..." Liu Yuan gulped down his saliva to moisturize his throat, "He's a blacksmith, nothing special about him, oh, he was the first person to get the disease, and he died for a long time."

Xiao Changli was thoughtful, Liu Yuanzhi and the others looked at each other, afraid that he would pursue them for the crime of dereliction of duty and enriching their own pockets.

The former magistrate of the county was not afraid of colluding with them, but now the big Buddha's mind is unpredictable, so they have no way of guessing and parrying it, so they can only deal with it in panic and carefully.

"Brother-in-law!" Susu suddenly ran up, pushed aside the crowd, patted the table in front of Xiao Changli, and hurriedly said, "My sister has an accident!"

His appearance interrupted the worries of Liu Yuanzhi and the others, as well as Xiao Changli's thoughts. He raised his eyes: "What's the matter?"

"She was forced to marry again!"
