My lord, I will be brought to justice!

"Qing Yang, come here! I promise I won't hit you." Early in the morning Chu Tiankuo shouted loudly, his hair was tied into two little buns, and a bastard was painted on his face.After waking up, Chu Tiankuo was startled by himself when he looked in the mirror, it must be Qing Yang's good deed again.

It has been more than a month since I came back from Lingyang, and the daily fights with the two children passed quickly.Thinking of being teased by Qing Yang every day, Chu Tian arrogantly wanted to beat him with a feather duster.

Seeing Chu Tiankuo coming towards him, Qing Yang trotted out the door and disappeared.Chu Tiankuo was just trying to scare him, so he didn't chase him.

After breakfast, Qing Feng sat on the table reading a book, while Chu Tiankuo rested his arms on the table. "Oh! It's so boring!" He sighed and approached Qingfeng.

"Oh! It's so boring." Chu Tiankuo moved closer, Qing Feng moved...

"Qing Feng, I'm so bored!" Seeing that Qing Feng ignored him, Chu Tiankuo took his book away and complained to him.

Since returning to Bei'an, the detective agency has not received a single case.There is not even a case of catching cats and dogs in the usual times. From the bottom of my heart, I admire the new county magistrate for managing Bei'an so well!But I was also thinking about whether to move. After all, how could a detective agency that does not handle cases be called a detective agency?

"Why hasn't Qingyang come back yet?" Chu Tiankuo's complaints have long been used to him.It was already past meal time, so Qing Yang went somewhere to play.

"Yes! Why hasn't this little bastard come back yet?" Chu Tiankuo looked around, and Qing Yang had indeed not come back.

While talking, Qing Yang approached the house bouncing around.

"You little bastard, where have you been wandering, and it's been so long since you came back."

Qing Yang didn't listen to Chu Tiankuo's scolding at all.Instead, he asked Chu Tiankuo mysteriously, "Brother Kuo, do you want to hear about a big case?"

"Oh? What big case?"

"I went out to play just now, and many people on the street were spreading rumors about... the "ghost mansion" in Yanzhou City." Qing Yang thought about the place, and said with certainty.

"Yanzhou City? Ghost Mansion? What kind of place is that?"

Qing Yang shook his head, "I don't know either." Then he looked at Qing Feng, "Brother, do you know Yanzhou City?"

Qing Feng thought for a while and said, "I've heard about Yanzhou City, but Yanzhou City is far away, are you going?"

"I don't know yet. But what happened to Qingyang Ghost Mansion?"

"People outside are spreading rumors that if you can catch the "ghost", you will get a large bounty. It is said that it is equivalent to half of Yanzhou City."

"Half of Yanzhou City." Although Chu Tiankuo didn't know how big Yanzhou City was, he heard that there was a lot of money, and the "ghost mansion" had a very mysterious feeling, so he must go and see it.

Instead, he asked Xiang Qingfeng about the situation of Yanzhou City, and learned about the general situation of Yanzhou City from Qingfeng's description.

Yanzhou City is located in the southernmost part of Jingshui Kingdom, intersecting with neighboring countries.Because it is located on the border and far from the capital, the imperial court has very limited management of it.A few years ago, the court ordered the construction of a county government office in Yanzhou City, and sent county magistrates and soldiers to garrison here.But because Yanzhou City is too far away from the capital, few people are willing to come.In short, the imperial court turned a blind eye to this place.As long as you don't make too much trouble, you can do whatever you want.

In the past few years, Yanzhou City has gradually become a situation of five-party rule.Although it was a five-party regime, the five of them were sworn brothers of the opposite sex.One person manages a place, and they get along harmoniously.The troops and officials sent by the imperial court have already become their subordinates. Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so what can you do to me!

These five people are distributed in five directions in the east, west, north, south, and middle of Yanzhou City.Five people are in charge of the army, merchants, farmers, etc. of Yanzhou City. It is rumored that the military strength and financial resources should not be underestimated.

As for the "ghost mansion" passed down by everyone, it is also located in Yanzhou City, but this mansion does not belong to any of them, or it is their common mansion.In the early years, the five brothers lived here for a long time like brothers and sisters. Later, when the power expanded, they became their own homes.In the uninhabited mansion, women's cries were often heard intermittently in the middle of the night, and some people even saw a woman in white with loose hair and blood on her face.These brothers didn't take it seriously.

One day, Bi Chenghu, the fifth head of the family, went there in person, but was frightened and fainted by the cries and figures in the middle of the night.This coma lasted for more than half a month, and the first thing I did when I woke up was to order someone to find the "ghost" in the mansion.The local people are afraid of this place and dare not approach it easily. He did not give up and issued a notice across the country of Jingshui, if he can catch this "ghost", he is willing to share half of his family's property with him.

Passing on, the reward has become half of the city.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and set off!" Chu Tiankuo couldn't wait to set off when he heard the reward.

"I remember it was about hunting ghosts in the ghost mansion seven days later," Qing Yang said.

"Seven days later! Don't worry."

Seeing that Chu Tiankuo was not in a hurry, Qingfeng kindly reminded him: "But it takes five days to travel from Bei'an to Yanzhou City."

"What the hell? It's five days away." Chu Tiankuo really didn't like riding in a carriage, and he couldn't even ride a horse.The rewards are also very attractive, so I fight for the rewards.

"Pack up your things and go when you're done."

"We also want to go and see, Brother Kuo." Qing Yang begged aggrievedly.

I didn't take them with me when I went to Lingyang last time, and I don't know when I can come back this time, so I don't feel at ease leaving the two of them at home.Then he said, "Okay, you two also go to pack your things and go with me. Let's make it clear first that you don't have to worry about taking a carriage!"

Facts have proved that Chu Tiankuo is the only one who finds it troublesome to ride a carriage.

Sparks and lightning along the way, see you in Yanzhou City.

The three called a carriage and set off for Yanzhou City.

Inside the Lingyang Palace

"Aiqing has been ill for a long time, but I don't know what's going on today?" Emperor Xiao Yuyue looked at Mu Aichen who was pale and asked.

Still dressed in white, spotless.After more than a month of cultivation in Tianlan Pavilion, Mu Aichen came to the palace to face the emperor today when the emperor summoned him.Even so, Mu Aichen didn't tidy up deliberately, found clean clothes, casually rolled up her long hair and went to the palace.

"The humble minister is fine, please trouble the emperor to worry about it."

"I haven't seen you for more than a month. Look at how thin you have become." Xiao Yuyue said to Mu Aichen who was getting thinner day by day, with a bit of unbearable tone in her tone.

"Weichen occasionally caught a cold a few days ago, but now he has recovered, and there is no serious problem."

"That's good!" Xiao Yuyue sat on the dragon chair, "Ai Qing, I came here today to discuss something with you!"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Do you know Yanzhou City?"

"slightly heard"

Xiao Yuyue mentioned that the expression of Yanzhou City was abnormal, "In the past few years, the imperial court's management of Yanzhou City has been really careless, because it is far away from the capital and neglected to manage it. The officials sent are all useless guys. The city is in a state of five-legged strength, this is not paying attention to the imperial court!" Speaking of this, Xiao Luyue was very excited and extremely angry.

"More than that, I heard that countless women and girls disappeared in Yanzhou City and could not be found. I sent people to investigate, but there was no news. Sigh! So I want Aiqing to go to Yanzhou City, and look for girls on the one hand. The truth of the disappearance, on the one hand, leveled the situation of the five-legged force, allowing them to experience the majesty of the court."

"I obey the order." After Mu Aichen finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Bie Xiao Yuyue stopped him.

"Aiqing, don't go back in a hurry, I haven't finished talking yet. Go this time, don't reveal your identity. I heard that a "ghost mansion" appeared in Yanzhou City. Among them, they paid a high price to send people to catch ghosts. Why don't Aiqing also become a ghost?" People from the rivers and lakes, play with them."

"As Your Majesty said, can I resign?"

"Go, go! Oh! Aiqing is still like this"

"Resignation." Mu Aichen left the hall, walked for a while and found Beichen waiting for him in front.Seeing Mu Aichen come out, Beichen went up to meet him.

"Pavilion Master, why did the Emperor seek you?"

"Yanzhou City, leave immediately." Since Mu Aichen recovered from the cold, Xiao Yuling also left Tianlan Pavilion.Tianlan Pavilion has returned to be as deserted as before, even his pavilion master has become cold and quiet like before.

Beichen didn't ask any more questions, and went back to the house to pack his luggage and set off for Yanzhou City.

"Oh! I can't do it. My buttocks are cut in half again." Chu Tiankuo touched his buttocks, beckoned the coachman to stop the carriage, and wanted to get out of the carriage and take a walk.

"Brother Kuo, you are too useless, you can't do it after just sitting for a while." Qing Yang mocked.

"Hey! Don't look down on me. This carriage is so bumpy that my ass is about to explode." Chu Tiankuo rubbed his butt, remembering that he and Mu Aichen had been in the carriage together when they went to Baimu Village.At that time, I was also a hundred unhappy, and I stopped and stopped along the way.Even though the time was urgent, Mu Aichen didn't say a word, and took the initiative to stop to rest from time to time.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, and I don't know how he is doing.

Obviously he wanted to leave, but now he still cares about Mu Aichen's condition.Chu Tiankuo rubbed his head, not knowing what he was thinking.Since returning from Lingyang, Mu Aichen's figure has appeared in his mind every day, and sometimes he even dreams about it.He comforted himself and said, "Maybe it's because I'm used to playing together, and I still miss it after not seeing each other for a while." It is estimated that there will not be many opportunities to meet each other in the future, so it's better not to think about it.

So, he wandered around outside, returned to the carriage and continued on his way.

Since then, due to non-stop, he came to Yanzhou City within a few days.It's much hotter here than in Bei'an. Although it's the beginning of autumn, the air is extremely hot.And the air condition here is also worrying, dusty, and the whole sky is yellow.

The soldiers at the city gate were stumbling around, not in the mood.There were quite a few people who entered Yanzhou City, judging from their clothes, they didn't seem to be locals, and they should all come for the bounty of the "ghost mansion".

Chu Tiankuo and the others entered the city, looking for someone to inquire about the location of the "ghost mansion", when an old man with gray hair passed by slowly on crutches in front of him.Chu Tiankuo stepped forward and asked, "Old man, do you know how to get to the Ghost Mansion?"

When the old man heard the word "ghost mansion", he quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know." Before he finished speaking, he picked up his crutches and disappeared.

"This old man is really old and strong, and he can participate in the Olympics at this speed."

Without finding out the situation from the old man, Chu Tiankuo locked his target on the aunt in front again.

"Hello, auntie, I want to ask where is the ghost house?"

Before he could finish speaking, the aunt threw the basket she was carrying and disappeared.

Chu Tiankuo: "..." The Ghost Mansion is so scary?These people are too exaggerated, he decided not to ask directly, but to find out by insinuating.

In front of him was a young man with dark skin and a tall and burly figure.Chu Tiankuo thought that this person should be fine, so to be on the safe side, he decided to ask tactfully.Bringing Qingfeng and Qingyang three people forward.

"Brother, my name is Liu Bold! I like exciting and scary things. I heard that there is a famous place in Yanzhou City, do you know?"

The tall man looked at Chu Tiankuo carefully, "How courageous are you?"

Chu Tiankuo held his head high and said, "I climbed through the snake cave, went down the ancient tomb, went up to the sky, and went through the dog hole"

The man listened with great interest, and then said, "It just so happens that the five masters of Yanzhou City will gather capable people two days later to hunt demons and catch ghosts in the ghost mansion. If you are not afraid, you can try it. If you succeed, there will be a bounty." .”

"Really?" Chu Tiankuo pretended that he had never heard of it. "How should the ghost mansion go?"

"Walking seven or eight miles from here, the weeds are the tallest next to it, and there is a big ancient well."

"Thank you buddy." After Chu Tiankuo thanked him, he embarked on the journey.

Because there are still two days before the "ghost mansion" catches ghosts, Chu Tiankuo and the others plan to find an inn to live in, and get familiar with the environment by the way.
