How to break into Liaozhai

Come here, try your best to go to the end.Under Wang Rui's suggestion, the two walked forward together and strolled around. He found that the lights were gradually dimming, and the number of lit lanterns seemed to be reduced. Compared with the bustle and bright lights in the first half, the place is obviously dark many.

Looking around, there are quite a few stalls in front, but the passenger flow is only half of the first half, but one thing is good, it is not crowded.

There are all kinds of masks hanging on a stall on the side of the road, men, women, old people, and children, all of them are lifelike, but they all have a sinister air.

The mask seller was a charming woman, she smiled at Wang Rui and asked, "Would you like a mask to wear, sir? Although it is only valid for twelve hours, you can do whatever you want without being caught by others." Found it."

A genuine human skin mask, wearing it can hide oneself very well, committing crimes at will, Wang Rui does not have this need, and shakes his head silently.

I suddenly remembered the matter of the painted skin, and thought that the monster was also bought here, so I asked: "Is there a whole body for sale? Putting it on the body, from the face to the body shape, it becomes a completely different person, the whole body of human skin. "

The woman showed a weird smile: "Isn't it enough to have a bare skin? Do you have to be full body?"

Answering the wrong question, Wang Rui said: "Forget it, I heard that you don't have this kind of product."

The woman hummed in her heart, do you think I will be fooled by using the aggressive method?The whole body of human skin can change its shape after being put on, which is much more difficult to make than a single human skin mask. Only the old black mountain demon, the king, understands this spell.

She shook her fan and sat back in the shed with her waist twisted: "Yes, no, brother, let's go and have a look elsewhere." She looked elsewhere, and stopped paying attention to Wang Rui and the others.

Wang Rui didn't know why, so he left here with Huang Jiulang to continue shopping. The more we walked forward, the more weird things were sold in the stalls. Many of them looked like utensils used to cast curses, and even corpse oil Wang Rui grinned at the sale of some mummified corpses. It seems that from the boundary of the teahouse, this side is a ghost market, and the other side should be a demon market just now.

Huang Jiulang saw that he showed a little scared expression, and said worriedly: "Or let's go back."

As soon as Wang Rui was about to say yes, the old lady at the booth next to him waved at him with a pervasive smile: "Guest officer, if there is anyone who doesn't like you, please come to me and buy a bottle of resentment, which contains the beheading at Caishikou." The grievances of the dead, if you secretly put them in your enemy's house, they will be in great trouble, hehehe—"

Wang Rui pulled Huang Jiulang and turned around to leave. No wonder this place doesn't look prosperous. The things sold are really not what everyone needs. They are too vicious. Even if they buy them home to harm others, they will lose their lives.

"Guest officer, we have a high-quality hanging rope here. People who hang themselves with it are equivalent to dying in a cloudy day..." The owner of a stall sneered at Wang Rui and recommended it with a steel-blue face.

Wang Rui felt unlucky: "Who would buy this thing?!"

"Don't say that, those who know how to do it will naturally understand."

Wang Rui didn't understand, so he asked Huang Jiulang, "Do you understand?" Huang Jiulang said in a low voice, "You can use it to strangle ordinary children and turn them into very dark little ghosts." Walking back, he walked near the brightly lit teahouse, and said with emotion: "It's better here, it's lively and fun."

They entered the market for almost two hours, and they were both hungry, but Wang Rui didn't dare to eat from the Yaogui Market, and Huang Jiulang didn't dare to let him eat, so he said, "Let's try to leave, go out from the place we came in, Let's see if we can meet someone who knows the way and send us back."

"I just met someone, an ordinary person like us, called Yin Yuanli, just go and ask him." Wang Rui bid farewell to Yin Yuanli and remembered that he hadn't asked him about it. He had been in the monster market for so many years. Must know the entrance and exit.

When he arrived at Yin Yuanli's booth, he was doing moxibustion for a black bear suffering from postpartum gout. After Wang Rui and Huang Jiulang entered, they waited for him for a while before sending the black bear spirit away.

Yin Yuanli packed the acupuncture box and said: "Seeing that there is no business in the middle of the night, I will call it a day. Come with me and stay overnight at my house. I will find a boatman to take you back tomorrow morning."

Wang Rui and Huang Jiulang thanked them, and followed Yin Yuanli to the outside of the market.Of course Huang Jiulang knew how to leave the market, but if Wang Rui didn't know his identity, he was willing to hide it for one more day, and he could stay with him for a while, why not, so he pretended not to know anything and followed Wang Rui walked behind Yin Yuanli.

As a small stall owner with a stall in the market, Yin Yuanli knew the vicinity like the back of his hand. When he came out of the market, he pointed to the big river in front of him: "This river can reach any bank. That is to say, you can paddle here by boat. Think about the river bank you are going to, and after a while, you will find that you have arrived at the place you are going to. But it is inconvenient that you can only reach the bank with water."

Of course Huang Jiulang knew this, but the boatman was hard to find and the fee to cross the river was extremely expensive. If he had enough cultivation, it would be more cost-effective to open a passage to come here by himself.

The surface of the river was dotted with waves, and the boats kept paddling into the middle of the river, gradually disappearing, and at the same time, there were boats in the distance, gradually approaching the shore, and the traffic was very busy.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to find a boat to cross the river now. This will be the time for everyone to leave." Yin Yuanli said: "My house is near here, you stay overnight and go back tomorrow, you will be hungry after shopping all night. , have some supper at my place by the way."

When he heard that there was something to eat, Wang Rui smiled and said, "Then...we might as well obey orders instead of being respectful."

"Haha, why are you being polite, we are all human."

Huang Jiulang reserved his opinion.

According to Yin Yuanli, he has a house here and his hometown, his hometown has a wife, and here is a concubine taken in by the Raksha Kingdom.After Wang Rui and the others entered Yin Yuanli's house, they saw this concubine. The concubine's skin was a bit dark, but she looked pretty good. She belonged to that kind of healthy and energetic beauty.

The little concubine has a gentle personality, seeing that Yin Yuanli brought friends back, she immediately made arrangements to heat wine and dishes.

Yin Yuanli whispered to Wang Rui and the others: "You don't know, she can hardly survive in Luocha Kingdom with her appearance."

"Why?" Wang Rui was curious.

"Because their views on beauty are different from ours. In our holy pilgrimage, people like you and your friends were good-looking, but in the Raksha country, you were the ugliest. You were judged and pointed at by crowds as soon as you entered the city." That kind of thing can even scare people. After my concubine was born, I was different from her fat sisters with four nostrils and tumors on their faces. They were bullied, and then they escaped and met me. I saw She is pitiful and took her in. After all, I am here, and I am lonely alone. "

Wang Rui broke out in a cold sweat when he heard that, thinking that he couldn't go wandering around in the Raksha Kingdom, because the aesthetic deviation is too big: "By the way, didn't you say that you have a friend who is an official there, then he..."

"He disguised himself and dressed himself up like Zhang Fei, but he was liked by King Rakshasa more because of his literary talents and well-written articles."

It doesn't matter if there is a deviation in appearance and aesthetics, but the preference for articles is universal.

At this time, the concubine came back after cooking the food, and the three of them were hungry. Yin Yuanli treated all kinds of beasts, and he often gave him wild game. There was no shortage of meat in his house.

After drinking and eating, Yin Yuanli let Wang Rui and Huang Jiulang live on the kang in the second bedroom, while he and his concubine went to the master bedroom to rest.

Wang Rui's fantastic encounters this day had already exhausted him, and he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. Since receiving He Yunyi's charm, his sleep has been getting better every day.

But Huang Jiulang couldn't sleep. As a vixen, he had much more energy than a human, so it didn't matter if he didn't sleep for a few days.He lay on his side facing Wang Rui, staring at his sleeping face.

At this time, he found that Wang Rui's pillow was on the wrong side, so he gently moved the pillow for him. Suddenly, he found a silver light from under the pillow, which shot like a sharp sword. He instinctively blocked it with his right hand, and was caught by the silver light. Where the light hit, it immediately turned back into furry paws.

He hurriedly hid to the side, and knocked his elbow on the surface of the kang with a thud, Wang Rui was woken up by his movement: "What's wrong?"

Huang Jiulang hid his right hand that turned into a fox's paw behind his back: "... there is something dazzling under your pillow that shakes me so much that I can't sleep."

It was the mirror He Yunyi gave him, Wang Rui saw it stuffed back into the pillow: "I'm sorry, I put it away."

Huang Jiulang slowly returned to his position, lay down under the quilt, and touched his fur claws quietly, feeling a little tight in his chest. The mirror must have been given to him by He Yunyi, and he had never seen He Yunyi's face yet. With just one of his magic tools, he couldn't stand up to himself, so how could he stay by Wang Rui's side in the future.

Seeing that Huang Jiulang had been silent, Wang Rui thought he was angry, so he turned over and lay down on the kang, pouted his chin and asked him, "Aren't you angry with me?"

"When have I ever been angry with you?"

That's right, Huang Jiulang has always been gentle and gentle: "Then what's wrong with you? In fact, I feel like you have something on your mind all day today. If you have any troubles, why don't you tell me, I must be busy if I can help, even if I can't , you tell me, it’s better than keeping it in your heart.”

Huang Jiulang touched his right hand and found that it had turned back into a human hand. The thing that looked like a demon mirror just now made his paw return to its original shape. Huh, fortunately, the mana is gone now.

"You may not understand what bothers me if you can't tell. I have always treated the people I fancy with sincerity. If there is something, I have ten points. If the other party wants it, I will not only give him my ten points, I will find another [-] points for him, and give him the [-] points together... But now... oh... I have nothing to give..."

"who is he?"

"My benefactor."

Wang Rui was surprised; "What's wrong? Is it heavy?"

"Grace of Reinvention."

I didn't expect Huang Jiulang to have such an important person. He was so preoccupied that he had to persuade him: "I don't think you need to put so much pressure on yourself. Maybe he never thought of asking you to repay your favor. By the way, he asked you Do you want to repay your favor?"

"No."

"Since the other party didn't say anything, you should relax. Live on your own first, wait for the opportunity to see when you can help him, and then it's not too late to repay the favor."

"...Oh, you don't understand."

Really, why do you look like "you don't understand my sadness": "Well, I don't understand, I really fell asleep." After saying that, I fell asleep after a while.

In the middle of the night, Wang Rui woke up, and when he got up, Huang Jiulang noticed him: "Where are you going?"

Wang Rui said in a daze, "Thirsty..."

"Wait, I'll pour it for you." He was not familiar with the furnishings of Yin Yuanli's house, so don't bump into them anymore. Huang Jiulang could see nothing at night, and quickly poured water from the kitchen for him: "Here comes the water." .”

"Thank you." Wang Rui took the water and choked after just two sips. Afraid of waking up Yin Yuanli in the next room, he didn't dare to cough loudly. He held his breath and covered his mouth, shaking uncontrollably.Huang Jiulang hurriedly leaned over and gave him a hand. After a while, Wang Ruishun said, "...I'm fine...I drank too fast just now, now I'm fine."

At this moment, Wang Rui straightened his back, took a deep breath, and Huang Jiulang's hand slipped off naturally.

"...I'm fine, let's sleep." Wang Rui said apologetically, crawled to his place, and lay down: "Go to sleep."

Seeing that he was all right, Huang Jiulang responded with a couple of huh, huh, returned to his quilt, and also calmed down.He didn't close his eyes all night, and tucked Wang Rui's quilt up from time to time, just like last time, he took care of him all night.

After getting up and having dinner the next morning, Yin Yuanli took Wang Rui and the others out to the river in front of the market.Wang Rui finally saw the river clearly. The surface of the river was endless like the sea. The surface of the water was calm without a trace of wind.

Yin Yuanli picked a boat for them and gave the boatman a shiny object as a fee for crossing the river.Although Wang Rui and Yin Yuanli only met for one night, they already felt like old acquaintances, and reluctantly said goodbye: "My family is in Yangxin County. If you have the opportunity, you must come to our house as a guest. I will treat you well."

Yin Yuanli waved goodbye to him on the shore: "See you again if you have a chance, and if you have a chance, you must visit the mansion." It was only when they could no longer hear each other's voices that they turned and left.

At this time, the boatman, who was dressed in black with only two eyes exposed, asked them, "Where are you going?"

"Sibai River outside Lucheng."

The boatman nodded to show that he heard it, and then said nothing more. Wang Rui and Huang Jiulang sat in the boat. Under the pressure of the boatman, they both kept silent tacitly.

Wang Rui found that the whole river was as clear as drinking water at home, and the hull of the boat seemed to be floating in the air.

But after a while, he slowly realized that the river was becoming muddy, and looking around, a city wall appeared not far away, which was exactly what they had seen when they first entered Lucheng.

It's time to go.Wang Rui was about to get off the boat, but found that there was no springboard: "Boatman, is there no springboard?"

The boatman said coldly: "Before you, I never carried a guest who needed a springboard."

That's right, the people who took the boat were either monsters or monsters. When they reached the river, people who were [-] meters tall jumped ashore. As a mortal, Wang Rui should have the consciousness of a mortal: "Come on, I'll go into the water and wade myself."

Huang Jiulang disagreed: "The river is so cold. I will take you there. This distance is nothing. The cliffs I have stepped on are wider than this."

"How? Are you carrying me?" As he spoke, he was about to walk behind Huang Jiulang, ready to lie on his back.Unexpectedly, Jiulang said simply: "You don't need to bother." After speaking, he clamped Wang Rui's waist with one hand, jumped to the bank, and pinched him across the river bank.

After Wang Rui touched the ground with his feet, he still felt that it was unreal. He had to rush to the shore by himself just now: "Thank you... Thank you..." But it would be nice if he could change his posture. Crossing the river like this is like holding a child like.

Hmm...Huang Jiulang hunted on the mountain and carried deer and roe deer like walking on the ground. It shouldn't take much effort to carry him across the river by himself as a big man. He thought so, it must be this reason.

Without saying a word, the boatman raised his oars and rowed towards the river, leaving behind a black and cold figure.

Wang Rui didn't want to go to the city, and planned to go back to Zhaojiazhuang directly. Huang Jiulang had to part with him. After all, he still had matters to deal with with Wutongshen. , now that the person has been found, he really has to go back.

When the two said goodbye to each other, they saw Wen Shun leading a group of people walking along the river bank. The group was downcast, and Wang Rui shouted at them: "What are you doing here?"

Wen Shun rubbed his eyes, and immediately rushed towards Wang Rui with snot and tears one by one: "Master, you make it easy for the little ones to find."

Of course, Wang Rui couldn't let this boy pounce on him, so he dodged: "What are you doing, don't cry, talk about it? Did the Fan family say that I have turned into yellow mud?"

"Master, what are you talking about? I don't understand, it's Miss Fan...Fan Shiniang is dead..."

Wang Rui was shocked: "How did you die?" Wasn't he scared to death by turning himself into yellow mud?

Huang Jiulang was also shocked, he was afraid that Feng Sanniang would impulsively go to the underworld to get into the dignitary, if that were the case, it would be a lot of trouble.But Fan Shiniang died, so Wang Rui didn't have to go on a blind date to get married.

"I don't know the specifics. I heard that he was strangled to death at home last night. The news spread so widely this morning that almost everyone in the city knew about it." Wen Shun said, "Although Steward Niu said he met you, you are fine. Yes. But such a big incident happened to the Fan family, and the little ones are still worried. I went to the Fan family to look for you. The Fan family was in a mess, and we couldn’t find out your whereabouts. We had to look for you everywhere, and finally found you gone."

Strangled to death?That is vendetta.Wang Rui felt uncomfortable. Although he only met once, he was one of the blind dates chosen by his father after all. He Yunyi should help him figure out whether her life is over: "You know I'm fine, Wen Shun, follow me." Me and everyone else are going back to the inn."

Huang Jiulang said: "...Do you still want to go back to Zhaojiazhuang?"

Wang Rui nodded. He Yunyi was there. He didn't come back all night yesterday, so he didn't know if he was worried or not.

At this time, he heard the noise in front, and he looked around wonderingly, wondering what was going on, and saw a group of officials striding away towards them, and the leader pointed at him and shouted: "Are you Wang Rui? Someone is suing you for killing people, come with us!"

"Huh? Me?" Wang Rui pointed to himself: "Who did I kill?"

The head catcher and a group of arresters holding fruit sticks quickly walked up to him, and pulled out a person from the team. Wang Rui had seen this person before. He was a servant of the Fan family. The servant looked Wang Rui up and down, nodded and said, : "That's right, he is Wang Rui from Yangxin!"

The head catcher said: "Since you are sure that you are Wang Rui, come with us. Fan Jijiu sued you in the yamen for killing his daughter Fan Shiniang. Our master sent you to the hall for questioning. Come with me." let's go."

Huang Jiulang was not happy when he heard it: "Is there any evidence that Mr. Wang did it?"

The head catcher snorted, "Who are you? Where is your turn to speak here?"

"Didn't Fan Shiniang be killed last night? Wang Rui was with me the whole time last night! I'm a witness, why can't I speak?!"

The head catcher was speechless, and simply shouted: "Okay, you are a witness, then come with me! Go, go, take them all away!"

Wenshun and the others were not afraid of things, and followed their young master to the yamen in the city.

Huang Jiulang comforted Wang Rui in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I will testify for you."

Wang Rui smiled weakly. Man-made disasters are more terrible than natural disasters. He is now in prison. Fan Shiniang was killed, and he was falsely accused by Fan Honghai. It depends on what happens. If the prefect of Lucheng is a stupid official and colludes with Fan Honghai, it will be enough for him to drink a pot.

He has no idea, and now he can only hope that the prefect of Lucheng will believe Huang Jiulang's testimony.

But if the magistrate carefully questioned them what they were doing together, and replied that they visited the Raksha ghost market, no one would believe it.

With trepidation, they came to the Lucheng government office. As a witness, Huang Jiulang was not allowed to enter the courtroom without a summons from the magistrate, so he could only wait in the courtyard. Therefore, Wang Rui entered the lobby alone. As soon as he entered, he saw Fan Honghai, who was originally sitting in the corner of the hall, stood up and walked towards him, cursing: "You bastard, pay back my daughter's life!"

Wang Rui was still full of anger. Your dead daughter is pitiful, but you can't let anyone bite anyone. I wanted to get angry, but thought that the magistrate might be watching in the back hall and he had to behave well, so he let him scold and ignored him.

At this time, a police officer stopped Fan Honghai and forbade him to get close to Wang Rui, while the master went to invite the magistrate to come out.

The magistrate's surname was Xu, and he came out lazily from the back hall, looked Wang Rui up and down, and said to the master, "He looks like a good man, not a criminal."

Although Wang Rui felt that judging people by their appearance is not good, but at this moment, he thanked the magistrate who judged people by their appearance, and hurriedly bowed: "Student Wang Rui from Yangxin County, see the magistrate."

Xu Zhifu waved his hand: "Okay, there is no need to be too polite, I just sent you to ask a question, it is not considered a formal promotion." After sitting down, he flipped through Fan Honghai's paper with two fingers, frowned and shook his head. "Fan Jijiu, my government understands your grief over the loss of your beloved daughter, but please express your condolences and judge the facts with facts. Don't look at everyone as a criminal. The government has read your complaint and accused Wang Rui of killing you." Your daughter's evidence is really insufficient."

Fan Honghai hurriedly said: "My lord, you don't know something. This Wang Rui is very weird. I gave him a localized rabbit, but the next morning, his whole body turned into yellow mud, which frightened me into a faint." But at the same time, he showed up in a good manner and told them that the housekeeper of the Wang family went back to the inn first, and then my housekeeper saw him go back to the backyard, and then disappeared. Do you think it’s strange? He can come without a shadow Qu Wujing, who can also conjure up a yellow clay statue to scare people, is a scholar who knows how to bewitch."

Wang Rui didn't know what Feng Sanniang was doing, so he could hear what the old man was talking about: "Fan Jijiu, you and I are both scholars, don't talk about those weird things, okay? I Can witchcraft? Seriously, when you fed me the Tuhua rabbit, I was terrified, thinking you knew witchcraft.”

Xu Zhifu said: "Okay, stop arguing, Wang Rui, I want to ask you, how have you been doing these two days?"

"Returning to your words, the day before yesterday I went to visit Fan's house. Unexpectedly, I was fed by Fan Jijiu and ate Tuhua rabbit, and my legs turned into yellow mud. He locked me up and forced me to marry her daughter. Fortunately I am a foreigner, and I am not used to eating Tuhua rabbit. In the evening, I felt nauseated in my stomach, and I vomited all the rabbit meat. After I vomited, my legs recovered. After that, I ran away over the wall and ran into Zhaojiazhuang by chance. Zhao Yuanwai, he invited me to be a guest at his village, and I went until yesterday when my friend Huang Jiulang went to Zhaojiazhuang to visit me, and I went to play with him until this morning."

Fan Honghai said angrily: "Nonsense! You clearly know sorcery and left a fake statue to scare me."

Wang Rui spread his hands: "I don't know, maybe your servants found out that I ran away. They couldn't explain it, so they made a fake statue to lie to you overnight. Anyway, after my leg recovered, I ran away overnight. I don't know anything about the rest."

Fan Honghai was dumbfounded.

Xu Zhifu glanced at Fan Honghai, and said indifferently: "According to what you said, it seems that Wang Rui doesn't like the daughter of the Fan family, so the Fan family gave him Tuhua Rabbit, and wanted to move forward and leave him behind. Get married. Hmm...Fan Jijiu, he doesn't like your daughter so much, will he risk ruining his future and murder your daughter?"

At this time, the master whispered to the magistrate, "Do you want to pass on Wang Rui's witness? Otherwise, it seems that Fan Jijiu will not give up easily."

Xu Zhifu sat upright, cleared his throat: "Catcher Zhang, I heard that Wang Rui has a witness present, let him come in."

Huang Jiulang was brought in, and everyone present focused their eyes on him. As a radiant and beautiful boy, he would attract attention wherever he went.

Prefect Xu immediately showed an inscrutable smile with insight into everything. Wang Rui escaped from Fan's house to spend the night with this beautiful friend, um...it's interesting, but it has nothing to do with the case.

Xu Zhifu's throat was itchy, he cleared his throat again, and asked Huang Jiulang, "Wang Rui said that he was with you last night, is it true?"

Huang Jiulang said: "Responding to your lord's words, yes, until this morning."

Prefect Xu pursed his lips: "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Huangjiazhuang, Yangxin County, and I go to the county school with Wang Rui."

Well, the government knows everything.Xu Zhifu sighed to Fan Honghai: "You also saw that Wang Rui was with this Huang Jiulang last night, so he didn't have time to commit crimes. Besides, you see, he has such a good relationship with his classmate, how could he care about you?" What about my daughter. I'm afraid he ran after his classmate after he escaped from your house. He didn't pay any attention to your eleven mother. The government will thoroughly investigate the case of Ling Qianjin's murder, Wang Rui , the government does not think he is the murderer."

He glanced around the lobby and patted the gavel: "Leave the hall!" After saying that, he got up and went back to the back hall.

Huang Jiulang was very happy, stepped forward to Wang Rui and said, "Great, you are fine, let's go."

No matter how dull Fan Honghai is, there is something wrong with this meeting. Fan Honghai pointed at Wang Rui sadly and said, "Don't leave, give me back my daughter! I know you are the murderer! The magistrate is deliberately protecting you, don't think I don't know!"

Wang Rui cleared the "grievance", stretched his clothes with a sneer, "Whatever you say, the magistrate is aware of the details, and has allowed me to leave."

Huang Jiulang sneered at Fan Honghai: "Are you going to say that the magistrate made a mistake?"

Seeing Wang Rui being so "shameless", Fan Honghai was so angry that he covered his chest and gasped for breath. Seeing that the housekeeper of the Fan family had retreated, they came in one after another, pointing at Wang Rui angrily and saying, "It's you!" Killed my young lady." The Wang family is not a vegetarian, and they all rolled up their sleeves to be rough: "What do you say, try saying it again."

Huang Jiulang thought that the Fan family was too noisy, so he frowned and blew at them. After a while, he heard the voice from the Fan family's side was much quieter, and each of them started scratching their necks and scratching their faces. Why is this body like this? ?The more he scratched, the more itchy he got, and he didn't care about arguing with the Wang family, so he started scratching and jumping around in the lobby.

Huang Jiulang pulled Wang Rui out: "Don't bother with them, let's go."

Wang Rui really didn't want to talk to them, so he turned his head and stared at Fan Honghai and left the lobby. As soon as he left the gate of the Yamen, Detective Zhang quickly came to stop him: "Our master asked Young Master Wang to go to the back hall for a while."

Wang Rui was puzzled, but the magistrate told him that he had no choice but to go, and told Huang Jiulang to wait for him for a while, and followed Zhang Zhang to the back hall.

The magistrate Xu in the back hall had already changed into his regular clothes and was playing chess with a man who looked like a scholar. Seeing him coming, the magistrate said casually: "Wang Rui, I have heard about you..."

Wang Rui broke into a cold sweat, how did the magistrate have heard of him, and how his reputation has spread.Just as he was muttering in his heart, he suddenly noticed that the scholar who was playing chess with the magistrate was looking at him with a smile in his eyes, which gave him goosebumps all over his body.

"Last year, there was a corpse change in your county. Wei Zhixian said it in his letter to our government, and your name was mentioned in it." Xu Zhifu said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, this government and Weizhi County are old friends. They used to be in Nanjing together. Studying in the academy, he calls you a good nephew, so you are naturally a good nephew of this manor."

It turned out that he had friendship with the prefect of Wei, so it was no wonder that he would protect him. It turned out that he was not taking advantage of himself, but that he had a connection, so Wang Rui kowtowed to the prefect of Xu: "My lord, please accept my nephew's worship."

Xu Zhifu raised his hand to ask Wang Rui to get up, and introduced him to the scholar who played chess: "This is He Zixiao, a Jinshi in the year of Ding You, who can play a good game of chess, even the government can't beat him."

He Zixiao said with a smile, "Your Excellency is just not as knowledgeable as I am."

After He Zixiao became a Jinshi, he asked for leave and went back to his hometown because he couldn't deal with his boss at the time. Now that boss has been impeached and imprisoned, and his comeback is just around the corner, so Xu Zhifu often asked He Zixiao to play chess in the government office to draw him closer. relation.When I met Wang Rui today, I introduced them to each other. The reason is simple, everyone is in the circle of literati, and there are many friends and many paths. It is for his own benefit to introduce Wang Rui to Jinshi.

Prefect Xu had good intentions, but he knew very little about He Zixiao, except that he was a Jinshi from Lucheng.

Ever since He Zixiao met the beautiful boy in the forest, he has been depressed, thinking about that person, unable to cheer up.But he didn't expect the turning point to happen in an instant, and today he met another piece of shining beautiful jade, oh, the Wang Rui in front of him, with red lips and white teeth, is so attractive no matter how you look at it.

"My study is at the foot of Sibai Mountain outside the city, Brother Wang Xian can come and visit us anytime." He Zixiao sent a warm invitation.

Wang Rui didn't like the look in his eyes very much, so he said politely: "I'll definitely visit the house some other day." No wonder, Lucheng is a place of wrongdoing, and I won't stay any longer.
