[Liao Zhai] Daughter-in-law is three hundred years older than me

Dezhou is to the south of Shuokou. Even though it is not far away, it can be clearly felt that Dezhou is warmer than Shuokou. Because of the rush, the carriage moves faster than usual. At night, Fengzhu helps, and the carriage is almost completely It was vacated. Fortunately, no one saw it at night, so there was no need to worry. The next day, with the first rays of sunshine, the carriage entered Dezhou City.

"Master, let me find out where the Liu family lives?" Shi Lin said to Qing Shui inside through the car door.

"No need, go directly to the magistrate's yamen." A young voice came from inside, a little lazy, Shi Lin was taken aback, who is this?It's not the master, it's not the young master Fengzhu, and it's even impossible to be the elder brother, so who is this?

"Master." Shi Lin worried that the car would be occupied by monsters, so he called out worriedly.

"What's the matter?" Qing Shui asked suspiciously, opened the car door, and looked outside at the stone forest.

The half-opened car door allowed Shi Lin to see clearly the young man inside. He was dressed in pure white, with a circle of white fur around the neckline, and his small face was more delicate. He was wearing a blue satin belt around his waist, and a purple bamboo leaf was hanging on it. The jade pendant was lazily lying in Fengzhu's arms at the moment, Shi Lin was stunned.

"It seems that the current appearance is not bad, and it can surprise the younger brother, not bad, not bad." Seeing Shi Lin's stunned look, Xiao 29 laughed, and the young man's crisp voice was very pleasant to the ear.

"This is your senior brother." Qing Shui couldn't help laughing at Xiao 29 who was smiling happily.

"Is it really senior brother?" Shi Lin turned his head stiffly, looked at Qing Shui, and asked in disbelief. He knew that senior senior brother was good-looking, but he didn't expect to be so good-looking when he grew up. It's too much, and she must be a beautiful woman who can overwhelm the country and the city.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't me, there are only three people in this car." Xiao 29 sat up straight and said.

"But isn't senior brother a child?" Shi Lin was still puzzled.

"Silly brother, you have forgotten my identity. I am a nine-tailed fox. I can become whatever I want." Xiao 29 said happily. After leaving Shuokou, Xiao 29 has transformed. From a child to a teenager, it was only because his cultivation base was higher than before, and his face was also more handsome than before. Fortunately, Xiao 29 felt that he had grown taller, and he must be able to catch up with Fengzhu in a short time.

That's right, senior brother is a nine-tailed fox. That's a monster, and a monster can transform into any shape, but senior senior brother is too good-looking, even people like Shi Lin who don't understand the style of the rivers and lakes also think Xiao 29 is good-looking, It can be seen that it is really beautiful.

"Enough is enough, let's go to the magistrate's yamen." Xiao 29 looked at Shi Lin and smiled, and then leaned against Feng Zhu's body as if he had no bones. Feng Zhu didn't mind hugging him, but Qing Shui felt that Er is getting more and more squeamish, he is all loved by Fengzhu, but he still dare not have an opinion, otherwise Fengzhu will get angry, and it will not be worth the loss if he takes his apprentice away, and he also thinks his apprentice is so cute and coquettish No problem at all.

"Understood." Shi Lin smiled, looking a little foolish, closed the car door, started driving, asked questions as he walked, and arrived at the prefect's yamen in less than half an hour.

The carriage stopped, Shi Lin helped Qing Shui get out of the car, and then helped his elder brother who looked very fragile and seemed to fall down when the wind blows, to get off the car, but Xiao 29 didn't need his help, holding Feng Zhu's hand lightly flew down.

The appearance of the carriage looks very ordinary, but the horse is a good horse, and the young man on the carriage is also very noble, as for the coachman and the monk, just ignore it.

Although the yamen does not allow people to come in and out at will, but who made Xiao 29 good-looking and full of dignity, he might be a big shot, so when Xiao 29 asked to see the magistrate, the yamen servant welcomed them in with a smile on his face, and then They hurriedly sent someone to notify the magistrate, because they were worried about offending the nobleman, and they were unwilling to bear the consequences.

When Sun Zhifu arrived, Xiao 29 had just taken a sip of tea. It seemed that the prefect's yamen was quite rich, and the prefect probably had a lot of greed.

In fact, Xiao 29 was really wrong. Prefect Sun is really not a corrupt official. This tea was given by a tea merchant to thank Prefect Sun for helping him solve the case and find a batch of lost tea. Prefect Sun didn’t take it home either. Just put it in the yamen for everyone to drink on weekdays.

Sun Zhifu looked at Xiao 29 and the others, none of them knew each other, so he couldn't help being a little puzzled, because Xiao 29 seemed the most like a master among them, so Sun Zhifu walked up to Xiao 29 and said, "At home, Sun Tongzhi, I don't know Xiao Who is the son, and what do you want me for?"

Xiao 29 took out the plaque that Liu Hui had given to him representing Xian Wang's Mansion, Sun Zhifu looked surprised, thinking that Xiao 29 was Liu Hui, and then knelt down and said, "I have seen His Highness Xian Wang."

"I'm not Liu Hui, Mr. Sun, get up quickly." Xiao 29 was startled when he saw Zhifu Sun suddenly kneel down, and quickly reached out to help him.

"I don't know the young master's last name?" Although Xiao 29 said that he was not His Highness Xian Wang, the person who dared to directly say His Highness Xian Wang's name must also have a valuable identity, and he still asked cautiously.

Xiao 29 looked at Sun Zhifu and said: "My surname is Xiao, you can call me Ajiu, this is my master Qingshui master, this is my junior brother Shi Lin, this is my brother Fengzhu, the reason why we came here is because Want to ask you something?"

"I don't know what Mr. Xiao wants to ask?" Sun Zhifu looked at Xiao 29 and asked suspiciously, but he was thinking about those officials in the imperial city whose surname was Xiao, and who had good relations with Xianwang's mansion, but unfortunately he couldn't figure it out after much deliberation. .

"I heard people say that a strange thing happened here." Xiao 29 took a sip of tea and said.

Hearing what Xiao 29 said was a strange event, Prefect Sun probably understood what it was, so he said, "Young Master Xiao is talking about the case of the bridegroom's disappearance."

"That's right, that's exactly what happened. Has the groom been found?" Xiao 29 nodded and said with a serious face.

"No, the young master of the Li family has not been found so far. The Li family and the Liu family have sent people to look for it, but the groom seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and he still hasn't been found. The yamen also sent people to search the whole city before, but they did not find the Li family. Young Master." Sun Zhifu shook his head and said with a sigh.

"Then he hasn't left Texas?" Xiao 29 asked.

"Impossible, the city gates are closed at night, he can't get out at all, and I also sent people to inquire about the guards of the city gates, but they didn't see Mr. Li leaving the city." Sun Zhifu shook shook his head.

After listening to Sun Zhifu's words, Xiao 29 looked at Qing Shui and said, "Master, do you have anything else to ask?"

Qing Shui shook his head and said, "No, but please ask the prefect to send someone to take us to Li's house."

"It's simple, I'll send you there now." Prefect Sun said with a smile.

"No need, magistrate, you are busy with business, so you don't have to send us off in person, just send a yamen servant to show us the way." Xiao 29 looked at Sun Zhifu and said.

"This is easy to handle." Sun Zhifu smiled, and asked the yamen catcher Wang catcher to accompany Xiao 29 and others to Lijia Village.

Wang Butou looks like he is in his 30s. He looks like a mature man. His figure is also very good. He belongs to that kind of muscular body. Xiao 29 is very envious of him. Looking at him again, he is white and tender. Generally, it is almost impossible, so I can only envy and envy.

"I'll lead the way for the others." Wang Butou rode a horse to the side of the carriage, and said to Shi Lin who was driving.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Catcher Wang." Shi Lin looked up at Catcher Wang, who was dressed in black immediately, and thanked him.

"No trouble." Wang Catcher smiled, and stepped forward to lead the way.

The Li family is the landlord of the Li family village, Xiao Fu, his father has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is married, the youngest daughter is only twelve, and the second son is the missing son of the Li family, Li Jiaxu, who is seventeen this year, younger than the girl of the Liu family Last year, but the Liu family is a cloth merchant with a wealth of wealth, Liu Qingmeng is also beautiful, and his son Liu Qingyi is a scholar, and now he is a child. For the better development of the Li family, Mr. Li is naturally willing to marry the Liu family. He planned to marry his youngest daughter to Liu Qingyi, and maybe she could become the wife of the champion in the future. Obviously, Mr. Li had a plan of flattery in his heart, and the Liu family was not ignorant of Mr. Li's plan, but Ms. Liu was their first child. , although she is a girl, she grew up with a lot of love and affection. Those who are the same age as Miss Liu or older have basically married wives. It took a long time to find Li Jiaxu who is more suitable, but she is younger. , but the Li family didn't mind, and Li Jiaxu heard that the girl from the Liu family was well-educated and beautiful, and that her brother-in-law had a future, so there was no reason to disagree, so the two hit it off and they were engaged.

It was a happy event for everyone, but on the day of the wedding, the groom disappeared. The Liu family thought that the Li family did it on purpose. It must be that Li Jiaxu didn't want to marry his daughter, and he was greedy for his daughter's generous dowry. The family also felt wronged, they really didn't hide their son, and the son also agreed to such a marriage, it is impossible to sneak away, besides, they have all worshiped, there is no reason to run away without entering the bridal chamber.

The Li family also sent people to search for many places, and the Liu family also sent people to search for many places, but they couldn't find them. Master Liu and Mrs. Liu saw that they couldn't find anyone, so naturally they were reluctant to let their daughter be a widow, so they wanted to take Miss Liu home. Then find someone else to marry, but Master Li also agrees, since he entered the door of the Li family, he is a member of the Li family, not to mention that he has already visited the court, and if he disagrees, he will go to court. Sun Zhifu has never encountered such a situation. This kind of thing, after much deliberation, was to sentence Miss Liu to wait at Li's house for three years. Li Qingyi who got the news naturally felt wronged for his sister, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing a carriage behind Wang Butou, many villagers pointed their fingers and wondered whether Mr. Li had been found.

Those who just followed to see the excitement found that there was no young master of the Li family who got out of the car, but they were not disappointed, because they saw the young master who came out of the painting, for peasants like them who had never seen the world It is indeed something to be proud of.

"Wait a minute, I'll knock on the door." Said Wang Catcher, he stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and the people inside saw that it was Wang Catcher, but warmly welcomed them in.

"Wait a moment." Wang Catcher said to the man, then turned to Xiao 29 and the others said, "Everyone, please come inside."

When the person inside saw Xiao 29 and his party, he looked at Wang Butou with some doubts, and Wang Butou explained: "These guys are all experts, they came to help find your son."

"Sir, please come in." The man happily welcomed him in, brought him into the hall, served him tea, and hurriedly reported to the master and madam.

"Master, I see that there seems to be a layer of fog over the Liu family, what do you mean?" Xiao 29 walked to Qing Shui and asked.

"Someone has been wronged?" Qing Shui said uncertainly. He had never seen such a situation before. It's all normal, but at this time the sun has risen and the dew has dried up, so where is the fog coming from, and this fog doesn't seem to be beneficial to people, it seems to be slowly engulfing the Li family, all in all it's not a good thing , but there seemed to be a trace of resentment in the fog.

"Master, there are still things you are not sure about. It seems that the Li family is really haunted by ghosts." Xiao 29 smiled lightly.

"And it's not easy." Shimizu said.

Qing Shui and Xiao 29 spoke simple words, but they frightened the servant girls in the hall and trembled. At this moment, Master Li and Mrs. Li came, seeing the excitement on Qing Shui's face, I heard it was true Master, it's not like the Li family didn't invite monks and Taoist priests before, wanting to see if evil spirits are causing trouble. It's just that those monks and Taoist priests seem to be cheating money. They didn't find anything at all, but they cheated a lot of money.

"Master, please save me." Master Li and Mrs. Li looked at Qing Shui and wanted to kneel down, Qing Shui quickly helped them up and said, "You two don't have to do this, if there are really evil spirits, I will definitely do my best. "

"Thank you, master." Master Li helped Mrs. Li stand up and said, with hope on his face.

Because they sent people to look for them before, but they couldn't find anyone anywhere, so the couple believed that their son was captured by a monster, but there was no real monster catcher to help them catch the monster and find their son.

But in fact, it's not that those people are useless, but that the opponents are too powerful, so that they can't even find the shadow of each other, so it is natural to say that they haven't found it.

"I want to go and see Mr. Ling's new house. Is it possible?" Qing Shui looked at Master Li and said.

"Of course." Master Li said, leading Qing Shui the way.

There are still some red window grilles on Li Jiaxu's new house that have not been torn off. A young woman dressed as a woman walks inside. She must be Miss Liu.

"Father, mother." Seeing Master Li and Mrs. Li, Liu Qingmeng stepped forward and called.

Although the Li family and his wife were dissatisfied with the Liu family's actions, they did not vent their anger on Liu Qingmeng, because Liu Qingmeng had always expressed his willingness to stay.

"It belongs to Erlang's family. This is Master Qingshui. He came to help find Erlang. I'll take him in to have a look." Master Li said.

"Understood, dad." Liu Qingmeng nodded, then walked to Mrs. Li's side and supported Mrs. Li.

Xiao 29 also walked around to have a look around, the courtyard is not big, and there are maids, how could a big man suddenly disappear, and on the wedding day, he was about to enter the bridal chamber, so how could he leave at will.

"Have all the waiters in the yard asked? Is it true that no one has seen your son's whereabouts?" Xiao 29 looked at Mrs. Li and asked.

"I've asked, and everyone said they didn't see Erlang, and Erlang seemed to have disappeared out of thin air." Mrs. Li cried.

"Miss Liu, can you tell me about the specific situation that day." Xiao 29 looked at Liu Qingmeng beside Mrs. Li and said.

Liu Qingmeng looked up at Xiao 29, then quickly lowered her head, and then said: "After worshiping that day, I have been waiting in the new room. Later, my husband came in, and when I was about to lift the hijab, I heard someone from the window. The voice, my husband said that someone was probably peeping at the window, so he went out quietly, and my husband never came back after that." Liu Qingmeng took a handkerchief and wiped her tears gently.

"Shouldn't there be someone guarding the door? They couldn't have seen your son come out." Xiao 29 asked suspiciously.

"I asked, but they all said that Erlang didn't come out if he didn't go in." Mrs. Li's complexion was not good, and she felt that her son was captured by a monster.

"Are you sure they're not lying?" Xiao 29 asked.

"I'm sure, everyone in this courtyard was injured because the master was in a hurry." Mrs. Li said, a little embarrassed.

Xiao 29 nodded, he understood that everyone in this courtyard must have been punished.

Xiao 29 walked up to Liu Qingmeng and circled around her twice. Liu Qingmeng held onto Mrs. Li uneasy, and Mrs. Li looked at Xiao 29 suspiciously and said, "Young Master, why are you looking at my daughter-in-law like this?"

"I just want to ask Miss Liu if she is really sure that your son has gone out." Xiao 29 smiled, showing two small canine teeth, which looked innocent and cute.

"Of course the Erlang family won't lie." Mrs. Li said, obviously because Liu Qingmeng has been voluntarily staying in the Li family, Mrs. Li has some sincerity towards Liu Qingmeng like her own daughter.

"Although I'm covered with a hijab, I can't see, but I can hear the sound of the door opening and closing." Liu Qingmeng said, then took out the handkerchief to wipe her tears again, as if very sad, Xiao 29 took a look at her, and then He turned around and took Fengzhu to the house to find Qingshui.

Qing Shui looked at the new house for a long time, but found nothing wrong with it, except for a potted flower in front of the window.

"Master, is there something wrong with this tree?" Master Li looked at Qing Shui and asked suspiciously.

"Of course there is a problem. Shouldn't the flower wither at this time?" Qing Shui looked at Master Li and said.

"Is this a flower? I always thought it was a tree." Master Li said, he always thought it was a tree, but when he suddenly remembered something, Master Li showed panic.

"Did Master Li remember something?" Qing Shui asked suspiciously seeing Master Li's panicked expression.

"It was brought back by Erlang, who said it was a gift from a friend, but I have never seen it bloom, so I even teased Erlang, mistaking the tree for a flower." Master Li said.

"The tree is not bad. There are indeed some iron trees, because they are extremely rare and blooming is extremely rare, so people often regard it as a small ornamental tree. If it needs an extremely harsh environment to bloom, it only needs to be mixed with the soil in the pot But it can't make it grow flowers." Qing Shui explained.

"Master, what do you mean?" Master Li looked at Qing Shui and asked in disbelief. Are there really monsters?

"I'm afraid your son was really kidnapped by a demon." Qing Shui said.

"Master, please save my son." Master Li grabbed Qing Shui's clothes with a sad expression on his face.

"I will try my best, but Master Li thinks about it, has he offended anyone, or killed anyone by mistake?" Qing Shui looked at Master Li and said.

"Although I'm a bit stingy, I won't offend people easily. At most, I have some conflicts with those villagers, but Erlang asked me to reduce the villagers' rent. I couldn't persuade Erlang, but I reduced the rent. If those villagers If you have a conscience, you must be grateful to Erlang, it is impossible to harm him, and it is even more impossible to kill him. Usually, people are punished, but they will not kill people, at most they will be resold." Master Li shook his head and said, It's just that there was a hint of hesitation hidden in his eyes, which was fleeting, but he was caught by Qing Shui, but Qing Shui didn't say anything, only saying that he wanted to take this pot of phoenix tail away, and Master Li naturally agreed with him to take this weird pot of phoenix tail away. Flowers to take away.

"Master, did you find anything?" Xiao 29 saw Shi Lin holding a potted plant as soon as he came in, looked at Shi Lin in surprise, and then asked Qing Shui.

"No big discovery." Qing Shui said.

"Then let's go, I'm hungry." Xiao 29 rubbed his belly and smiled.

Master Li listened to Xiao 29's words, and hurriedly asked people to arrange lunch and asked them to stay for dinner. Xiao 29 naturally agreed, anyway, he would come again after dinner, so it was better to stay for dinner.

And Master Li even arranged a place for them to rest for a while. Catcher Wang followed into the courtyard and asked Xiao 29 about the situation. Xiao 29 looked at Qing Shui.

"Some discoveries." Qing Shui nodded and said.

"Master, you lied. You just said you didn't notice it." Xiao 29 looked at Qing Shui with a feeling of being cheated.

"Brother, Master only said that there was no big discovery, but he didn't say that he didn't." Shi Lin looked at Xiao 29 and said with a smile.

"Junior Brother, you owe a beating again, don't you?" Xiao 29 glared at Shi Lin angrily, but he looks very cute in his current appearance, Shi Lin suppressed his laughter, and the provincial senior brother was really angry.

"Jiu'er, don't be angry, listen to the master." Feng Zhu looked at Xiao 29 who was fried and said, reaching out to pat his head.

Everyone looked at Qingshui, Qingshui asked Shi Lin to put the phoenix tail in front of everyone and said: "This phoenix tail has a demonic aura, it is very faint, it must have been given to Li Jia Erlang by the phoenix tail demon. "

"No wonder I smelled a bit of evil spirit from that Liu Qingmeng. I thought there was something wrong with my nose before, but it didn't seem to be the case. It must have been contaminated by it." Xiao 29 suddenly realized.

"Perhaps, the evil spirit on the phoenix tail is already very weak." Qing Shui said, not sure that the evil spirit on Liu Qingmeng's body was contaminated by the phoenix tail, but Qing Shui did not doubt Liu Qingmeng's meaning at the moment. After all, she is a poor woman who has lost her husband.

"Master, then how should we find this monster and Li Jia Erlang, maybe Li Jia Erlang was eaten by the monster." Shi Lin said.

"You are stupid, if you want to eat, you would have eaten it long ago, why did you give him a phoenix tail, saying that the monster took a fancy to Li Jia Erlang, and arrested him to be his husband-in-law." Xiao 29 said imaginatively.

"Eldest brother is right." Shi Lin thought for a while and really felt right.

"No way." Wang Catcher looked at Qing Shui and said uncertainly, Li Jia Erlang is not so handsome, he is not as good-looking as Li Jia Da Lang, but because Li Jia Er Lang is a scholar, his temperament is older than Li Jia Erlang Lang is better, but do monsters still pay attention to connotations?

"It's not impossible what Xiaojiu said, but it's not certain yet." Qing Shui said.

"Then what should we do, Master?" Xiao 29 asked casually, grabbing Fengzhu's hand and fiddled with each one.

Qing Shui glanced at Xiao 29 and Feng Zhu beside him, and said, "Naturally, we should first find out what Master Li is hiding? What's going on with this mist that contains grievances?"

Xiao 29 looked at Qing Shui in surprise, he didn't expect his master to find out that Mr. Li had a hidden secret in such a short time.
