How to break into Liaozhai

Outside the yamen of Shuijin County, Wang Rui looked up at the majestic gate.

He Yun said: "The repair is quite elegant. I saw this road. This is a wealthy county, and the people from the official department treat you very well."

Three years of Qingzhi County, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, and being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. If he is appointed to a barren place, the county magistrate will be worse than a rich man.

Wang Rui straightened his waist: "We are not short of money. The people here are blessed. I am an official who is not greedy for money."

He Yunyi looked at him with a smile when he heard Wang Rui put gold on his face.

Wang Rui was about to send Wen Shun to talk to the yamen servant at the door, and told him to go in to report, when he saw a middle-aged man dressed in regular clothes walking out of the yamen, looking at Wang Rui with a dejected look on his face: "Are you Xinke Jinshi Wang Rui? Come to take office of?"

"Master Li..." the yamen guard at the gate called out to this man with difficulty.

"I am no longer your adult, this is the one." Li Zhixian said: "I won't talk nonsense, I have been waiting for you for a long time, since you are here, come in quickly." After finishing speaking, he led the way.

Wang Rui and the others hurriedly followed, passing by the gatekeeper, they were called Mr. Wang, and Wang Rui nodded.

In the lobby of the yamen, Li Zhixian winked at the big seal on the table: "The documents and official seals that should be handed over are here, you can check them."

Wang Rui didn't really want to check the big seal, he was more interested in this person: "Are you the county magistrate here?"

Li Zhixian looked indescribable: "It used to be, now, you are."

"Then... where are you going to get promoted?" Generally speaking, they are promoted, but Li Zhi County doesn't look like it.

"Go back to my hometown." Li Zhixian sighed: "The case can't be solved, I was dismissed, so I asked you to replace me." After speaking, he glanced at Wang Rui: "You work hard, don't follow in my footsteps."

"..." Wang Rui asked worriedly, "What case?"

"Oh, I can't say a word clearly. The case files are all on the table, and they are written very clearly. If I can't do it, it's up to you." Li Zhixian said with a sad face: "Oh, if there is nothing wrong, I will Prepare the car and go."

Wang Rui said politely, "I'll host a banquet to see you off."

Li Zhixian waved his hand: "No, no, the case can't be solved, I don't have the face to stay any longer, I'll prepare a car and take my wife and children, so I'm leaving now." After speaking, he walked out.

Wang Rui walked behind and sent him to the door. Li Zhixian said to Wang Rui before boarding the car: "Please stop, I hope you can solve the case."

Wang Rui didn't know what the case was, so he didn't dare to boast, but said: "I will do my best!"

After sending Li Zhixian away, Wang Rui returned to the lobby and gathered the people in the yamen.

There are five masters in charge of a stall, including Master Xing Ming and Master Qian Liang, and several small officials under their jurisdiction.

Originally, there was a master who was in charge, but because he was from Li Zhi County, he was taken away by Li Zhi County.

This is just right, Wang Rui doesn't have to worry about how to arrange for his predecessors, he directly introduces He Yunyi to these people: "This is Mr. He, who is also from my family. His words, just like what I said, count."

"Yes, my lord." Husband and wife, it has long been no surprise.

"Why don't you see the arresters?"

"Let Catcher Zhang take them away to investigate the case." The criminal master who is in charge of criminal cases in the county said: "I don't know where this meeting is, but I will definitely return to the county government tomorrow morning. At that time, I will keep them and take them with them." to you."

Wang Rui patted the thick stack of files on the table: "Is this the case you are investigating?"

"Yes, this case..." Master Xing was about to speak, but was stopped by Wang Rui: "Don't tell me, I'll take a look for myself first."

He didn't want to be influenced by other people, so he had to read the files first and make his own independent judgment.

Then Master Qian Liang and other masters in charge of all aspects of the county government gave Wang Rui a general report on the situation.

Wang Rui found that just like what He Yunyi said, this is a rich place with a lot of financial revenue. Because of this, the people who were disturbed by a certain case were panicked, which attracted the attention of the superiors, and the Li Zhi County, who was not good at investigating the case, was handed over to him. dismissed.

After handing over everything, it was already evening, so Wang Rui left a few masters for dinner, which brought him closer to his subordinates.

After sending the group of people away, Wang Rui turned on the lamp to read at night, flipping through the files, and He Yunyi also moved a chair to accompany him to read.

The candle was beating, and Wang Rui squinted to see a fan-shaped shadow reflected on He Yunyi's eyelashes, his expression was quiet and serious, and his heart beat uncontrollably.

As soon as He Yun felt his gaze, he curled his lips into a smile and said, "If you want to see it, be generous, why bother peeking."

Wang Rui lowered his head and suppressed his smile: "Who cares about you, you are so beautiful."

He Yun stretched out his arms and hooked Wang Rui's chin: "The county magistrate must be looking at the file in my hand."

"That's right, you're right, I've taken a fancy to the file in your hand, I'm going to finish this file, now I want to read yours."

He Yunyi pulled him to his side, wrapped him in his arms, opened the file, put his cheek against his cheek and said, "Let's read it together."

Wang Rui tilted his face slightly, and he could kiss him, so he took advantage of the opportunity to kiss him: "Come on, Mr. He, what do you think of these cases, tell me."

He Yun lightly bit his ear: "They are all cases of disappearance where no one was alive and no dead body was seen. A person who traveled thousands of miles suddenly died without a dead body. Several people who walked together also disappeared mysteriously. There have been dozens of cases." Now, don’t look at how thick the file is, it’s all about the missing persons’ relationships, such as enemies, which are actually useless.”

"Is there a monster around here?" Wang Rui had dealt with ghosts and gods too much, and his first feeling was that there were monsters eating people.

"Man-eating monsters are very low-key. They usually hide in deep mountains and old forests to rob sporadic passers-by. It is too noticeable to eat so many people in such a densely populated place. It is not their style." He Yun said.

"Yes, it seems to be man-made."

He Yun said together: "Tomorrow, let's find a missing person, go to his house and ask his birth date, I will calculate it, bring it back if he is alive, and go to the underworld to find his soul if he is dead."

Wang Ruixin said that he was cheating, and he will write a memoir in the future called "Being a County Magistrate with a Plug-in".

With He Yun's help, the case of losing the former magistrate's official position will not be a big deal.

Wang Rui stretched his waist: "Then wait for tomorrow, today is tired enough, go to bed."

He Yunyi waited for this sentence, his eyes lit up, he picked up Wang Rui and threw him on the bed.

……

Wang Rui fell asleep in a daze, in a state of half-dream and half-awake, knowing that he was asleep, but at the same time his consciousness was awake.

This feeling, he has experienced, is because someone entered his dream.

He rubbed his eyes, and found that he was sitting in the lobby of the yamen, and a bearded man in official uniform stood below him.

Wang Rui sighed: "Who are you, what did Tuomeng tell me?"

"I am the City God of Shuijin County. I know that you and Mr. He are staying in your place, so I come here to pay my respects." The City God said, "Master He dare not disturb you. I hope you can convey the little god's greetings."

It was another one who came to show his favor in a roundabout way. He didn't dare to face He Yunyi directly, so he asked his family member to convey: "Okay, I understand."

Chenghuang asked again: "Is Wangzhi County having a headache about the disappearance cases that occurred in the jurisdiction?"

Wang Rui was taken aback: "Yes, do you have a clue?"

Ghosts and gods know everything, especially the city god of a locality, no matter big or small, can escape his eyes, but ghosts and gods should not be too straightforward when revealing information, otherwise they will be punished.

The Chenghuang said with a smile: "The little god has a poem to send to you. Snow hangs on the sideburns, clouds grow in the sky, drifting wood in the water, and a gate is installed on the wall."

"..." Wang Rui had a headache, guessing riddles was the most annoying thing: "Can't you be more straightforward?"

Chenghuang shook his head: "It's very straightforward, you must have guessed it with your intelligence. The little god will not disturb your rest." After speaking, the figure disappeared.

But Wang Rui only felt that his surroundings were gradually getting darker, and his consciousness became blurred again, but those four sentences kept recurring in his mind.

In a half-dream and half-awake state, he kept playing guessing riddles. When he got up the next morning, he couldn't guess it. He pouted and said, "Sir, I'll give you a riddle to see if you can figure it out."

He Yunyi had been with Wang Rui for so long, and his eyes and ears were influenced by it, so he shrugged like a model: "Let the horse come here."

"Cough, listen up. There is snow hanging from the sideburns, clouds are forming in the sky, drifting trees are floating in the water, and there are gates on the walls."

"Guess what? Eat and drink? Or a piece of furniture?"

Wang Rui shook his head: "I don't know, it should have something to do with the case." Then he told about the city god's entrusted dream last night.

It has to be said that the two of them are really embarrassing, and on the first night, the Chenghuang took the initiative to send an assist. Li Zhixian was so anxious that he lost his official position, and did not see the Chenghuang sending any clues.

He Yun frowned, thinking about the answer to the riddle, and Wang Rui was thinking next to him.

Early in the morning, the husband and wife were head to head, racking their brains to think about the case.

Suddenly He Yun said: "I seem to have thought of it!"

Wang Rui blinked his eyes and said expectantly, "Hurry up."

He Yunyi pointed to his mouth, Wang Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't believe you figured it out, it's probably a lie."

He Yun grinned: "Exciting method?" Walking to the table, he picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper, and then folded the paper: "I've written the answer down, do you want to read it?"

Wang Rui stretched out his hand to snatch it, but it was a pity that he couldn't grab He Yunyi, and finally just flicked his sleeves: "You savage master, dare to embarrass the county, okay, the county will use your brains to solve the riddle yourself. "

Seeing his small appearance, He Yun couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, he's promising. Our county magistrate will never bow down for a kiss."

"No, no, I don't want to bow down to your intelligence. I don't believe that you can solve it, but I can't. It's a couple, who is worse than the other?"

He Yun raised his eyebrows, lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and smiled, "If you can't solve it and want to know the answer, come and kiss me."

He just lay there and waited for Wang Rui's movement. After a long time, he heard Wang Rui approaching on tiptoe. Then his lips warmed up. He opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile.

Wang Rui pulled him up, pouted in dissatisfaction, and muttered, "Tch, you're an old couple, you still play this game."

He Yun embraced him with a smile, and said directly, "Actually, it's easy to guess. You don't have to listen to the end, you can guess the rest. There is snow on the sideburns, it's 'old'..."

Wang Rui was stunned, with a sour face: "It's so simple? I'm still tearing down the characters. According to what you said, then the cloud is 'dragon', the wood on the water is '舡', and the door on the wall is 'hu'. ...is that 'Old Dragon Boat House'?"

Wang Rui was tortured by the imperial examination, and when he saw the questions, he thought about the profound and profound. In fact, the riddles given by the Chenghuang were very simple, but he thought too complicated.

He hurriedly opened the note that He Yunyi had written just now, and it really had the same four characters written on it - Laolongjiahu.

"The prisoner is a boatman on the Old Dragon River?"

The boats are on the same boat, and the old dragon boat households are the old dragon boat households.

He Yun nodded: "It should be, the boat was robbed and killed by Shen Jiang."

"It seems that this is what the city god wants to tell me. However, we can't believe too much in ghosts and gods. We have to implement it. I happen to be promoted to see Zhang Butou. I will ask him to inquire about the birthdays of the missing persons." , let's go to the underworld and ask the victim to implement it."

After finishing speaking, they were stunned for a moment, and they could just ask the soul of the deceased directly, why waste energy guessing riddles in the morning.

It was late at this time, so he hurriedly put on his official robe, and took He Yunyi to the lobby.

In the lobby of the yamen, I saw Catcher Zhang and the rest of the policemen, and made a simple arrangement for them to go down.

At this time, I saw a group of people watching at the gate of the yamen, and someone said: "Master Xin County is a young man with red lips and white teeth, I'm afraid this case will never be solved."

Wang Rui thought angrily, what does age have to do with being able to solve a case? !

Wang Rui went out of the lobby and walked towards the gate of the yamen. Seeing him coming, all the people retreated instinctively to make room for him.

"The official announced that the case will be solved within half a month. If not, he will resign and go home."

Zhang Butou, who hadn't gone far, turned back in a panic, are you crazy?We haven't got a clue for a year, and you only have half a month?

Wang Rui left a confident smile on the people, turned around and strode back to the county office.

Let the people behind talk about it.

It feels so good to be powerful.

The underworld is still gray and dark, He Yunyi led Wang Rui past the Wangxiang Terrace, and went deep into the underworld.

Wangxiang Terrace was the place where he fought Jinse back then, which brought back many memories of Wang Rui. He rolled his eyes and asked He Yunyi with a low smile: "Hey, did you like me at that time?"

"When?"

"It was time to clean up Jinse. I drank the ecstasy water and was interrogated by her, asking me if I was having an affair with you."

As soon as He Yun remembered Wang Rui's answer back then, he snorted and said, "It was true that I wanted to kill you."

Wang Rui approached him cheekily: "Now you must be reluctant."

He Yun smiled and pinched his cheek.

Because Zou Wu, one of the victims, was in the wild ghost village in the underworld, they came here to look for him.

Almost all these ghosts in Wild Ghost Village had their arms and legs bitten off in Jinji Ridge and Egou Ridge, and they are waiting here to snatch other people's stumps to make up for themselves.

Wang Rui didn't recognize Zou Wu, so he asked the ghosts around him, and while he was waiting, he suddenly found a familiar person.

He must have seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

When the man saw him and He Yunyi, he suddenly jumped three feet high and ran over: "I finally met you!!!"

The man was so excited that Wang Rui was startled, and he dodged back: "You, who are you?"

But He Yunyi laughed: "Governor Zhou, why are you here?"

Upon hearing the three words Governor Zhou, Wang Rui remembered, isn't this Governor Zhou Zongchen, the father of the emperor: "You, are you dead?"

Zhou Zongchen said angrily: "Isn't this obvious! I was stabbed to death by Bian Yanzhi's old father. He didn't know how to make the horses in the yamen infected with horse plague. He took the opportunity of entering the yamen for treatment, Approached me and suddenly gave me a few knives!"

"Who made you fall to Bian Yanzhi." Wang Rui said with disgust, "Get out of the way, we are not here to find you."

How could Zhou Zongchen let it go, and stretched out his hand: "Give it back to me, why do you think I stay in this wild ghost village and not go to reincarnation?!"

Wang Rui was puzzled: "What did I give you?" Suddenly he was taken aback, and laughed when he thought of something, father father, father father, what he lost was taken away by He Yunyi, and he never had time to return it to him.

He Yun snorted and said, "Since you are dead, I will return it to you."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Zongchen felt that he was different, patted himself, and said happily: "I'm back, I'm back!" Then he didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that He Yun would go back on his word and run away in a hurry.

At this time, Zou Wu was also brought here. Zou Wu was a strong man. Wang Rui couldn't help being stunned when he saw it: "You are so strong, how did you get killed? Ah, don't be afraid, I am The new magistrate of Shuijin County."

When Zou Wu heard this, he burst into tears and said: "My lord, avenge the grassroots, no one in our group passed by Laolongjin, and was robbed and killed by the boatman on Wednesday."

It turned out that these so-called boatmen tricked the merchants into boarding the boat in the name of boat crossing, drugged the merchants to make them unconscious, cut open their stomachs and put stones in them, and sank their bodies to the bottom of the water to kill them for money.

Wang Rui inquired about the appearance of the robbers waiting on Wednesday in detail, and then went on with He Yunyi to interview the next victim.

After scattered inquiries, they came all the way to Mengpo Bridge, and found a victim, Ren Xi, among the people waiting in line for reincarnation.

Ren Xi, who died with hatred, did not expect that before he was reincarnated, there would still be the possibility of redressing his grievances, so he told everything he had experienced.

According to the clues that Wang Rui has so far, it is enough to arrest the gang of thieves rampaging on the water.

After collecting Ren Xi's statement, he watched him queue up for soup.

Wang Rui looked at the continuous line, and asked He Yunyi with a smile: "Which one is better, Meng Potang or Qinghua?"

At the mention of love, He Yun wanted to dig into the ground, and said with a smile: "I don't know!"

At this time, Wang Rui suddenly found a figure not far away, looking at Po Meng's direction as if he was alone, with deep eyes.

Wang Rui recognized this person at a glance, and he once wanted to kill him: "Xiaoyangzi!" Afraid that He Yunyi would not see him, he tugged at his sleeve and said, "Look, Xiaoyangzi!"

The hatred of becoming a sheep is unforgettable.

At this moment, Xiao Yangzi also found them, and after being stunned for a while, he walked towards them and looked He Yunyi up and down: "Wow, I heard about you, you really don't look the same as before .”

Wang Rui stuck out his tongue proudly: "Not only that, I also took Jin Chan's elixir, and I will live forever, envy and hate, right?"

He looked at Xiaoyangzi and found that he was not the same as before, his mental state seemed to be much better, and his whole person was clean and tidy.

He walked to the street like a dog, no one knew that this guy was crazy.

Xiaoyangzi snorted a few times, and then bleated. Wang Rui took a deep breath in anger, and sneered, "I've become a sheep now, and our Yunyi can recover me without any effort. And we won't die Oh, just waiting for you to erect a monument after you die."

Xiao Yangzi looked between Wang Rui and He Yunyi, and said with a smile, "Are you two entangled?"

Wang Ruite proudly leaned on He Yun's shoulder: "Yes, he gave me all his Yuan Yang."

Xiao Yangzi said with a half-smile, "I'll give you some advice as a senior, so it's just a matter of time. Sooner or later, you will get bored with each other."

Can you speak? Wang Rui wanted to kick him, but at this moment He Yunyi glanced in the direction of Meng Po, and sneered, "But I don't think you are bored, don't tell me, you are here to see Meng Po Yes. Or to see your favorite lady? You really can't let her go."

Back then, the young lady helped He Yunyi lure Xiaoyangzi out, and in return, He Yunyi found her a job in Meng Po.

In this way, you can avoid entering reincarnation and avoid Xiaoyangzi.

Xiao Yangzi's expression froze, and then he smiled without refuting or agreeing.

Wang Rui stroked his chin, squinted his eyes and said, "No wonder the people dressed up look like dogs, tsk tsk."

Xiaoyangzi said: "Wang Rui, you are a fox pretending to be a tiger. Without He Yunyi, what are you?"

He Yun hooked Wang Rui's neck with his arm, and said with a smile, "But he still has me."

In order to avenge the past, Wang Rui ruthlessly threw stones into Xiaoyangzi's heart, trying to step on Xiaoyangzi's heart: "Are you envious? It's a pity that your lady doesn't pay attention to you."

Xiaoyangzi gritted his teeth, Wang Rui saw that he was getting angry, and in his heart he rated what he said just now.

But at this moment, Granny Meng said: "Go to serve the soup again." Then a woman's figure walked away from Granny Meng. Seeing this, Xiao Yangzi left Wang Rui and the others quickly, and kept a close distance with that figure.

Look back at me, just one look, let me see you!

He followed her back, whether he didn't forgive or ignore her, at least let me know that you still remember me.

He has been waiting here for a long time, and it seems that her heart is really like a dry well, and there are no more waves.

Perhaps, only after he died and reached the head of Meng Po Bridge, would she have a word with him?

Wang Rui looked at Xiaoyangzi's back, and shook his head in "disgust": "At the beginning, I thought she was hurting him, but now I'm posting it. Fortunately, she is in the jurisdiction of Meng Po, otherwise she would really be entangled for several lives."

"Do you think you won't be entangled now?" He Yun said together: "Leave him alone, let's go back."

"I still feel that there is almost something wrong. Xiaoyangzi should be turned into a sheep."

"Become a sheep, do you eat it? If you don't eat it, you have to prepare fodder to feed him every day? It's not too troublesome."

Wang Rui also thought about it: "Anyway, he is in a miserable situation now, and everything that needs to be investigated has been investigated. Let's go back."

He Yun nodded with a smile: "Yes, Wangzhi County."

Wang Rui reported the case of the old Longjin boatman's murder for money to his superiors, and united with the surrounding cities and counties to clean up all the bandits in the upstream and downstream in one fell swoop, arresting more than [-] robbers in total.

Because Wang Rui had never seen them before, he told them clearly what happened to them. They were all scared out of their wits, and they were arrested without punishment.

The half month that Wang Rui promised was still a few days away, and the case was solved, and it was clean, beautiful and complete.

Afterwards, Wang Rui deliberately took He Yunyi to go shopping in casual clothes, and once he was recognized by the people, he "modestly" accepted the compliment.

At the end of the day, hearing praises like "Master Qingtian", "Surveys like a god", and "Your Excellency is wise" made my ears calloused, and I felt really proud.

He Yun smiled and said, "I can't see that you want to hear good things so much."

"It's not really, but I was scolded too much in the past, such as drinking flower wine, not doing business, being a playboy, etc., which made me lose confidence." Wang Rui said flatly: "I listen to good things now because Rebuild my self-confidence."

He Yun said together: "Those words before did not wrong you at all, you are just a dandy who does not do business properly."

Wang Rui squinted his eyes, smiled and said, "I was so bad at the time, but didn't someone fall in love with me at first sight? He deliberately played tricks on me to make me remember him."

Someone looked up at the sky and didn't answer.

Wang Rui touched him with his elbow: "I'm so good now, do you like me more?"

"Anyway, your skin is thicker, it's true."

"Don't change the subject, I'll just ask you, do you like it more?" Wang Rui bent slightly and looked up at him.

As soon as He Yun looked at his face, his heart felt hot, and he nodded his head a few times unconsciously.

Wang Rui was happy, and leaned on He Yunyi's back: "Come, carry the master back to the mansion."

He Yun said together: "It's long past the time to sit in the office."

"Oh, it's time to get off work." Wang Rui whispered in a low voice, "Sir, carry me home."

He Yun picked him up and said with a smile, "Go home!"

Talking and laughing, he walked to the Yamen.

Wang Rui sat on He Yunyi's back, watching the setting sun, and thought to himself, as a county magistrate, he is still qualified, so give him sixty points.

As for He Yunyi, as a master, give him seventy points.

Of course, as a husband, give [-] points.

Thinking of this, he rested his chin on Xianggong's shoulder, and his heart was full of happiness.
