A body disappeared in full view. No one would believe such an unimaginable thing, but the people who witnessed it were the current King Jin, the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the prefect of Gusu.

The case seems to be developing in a direction that is out of their control, and there is nothing they can do about it.

Su Shi'an listened to the words of the old village chief, but he didn't dare to go forward, only Jun Ziyou limped forward, Quan regarded Xiao Beicheng as a crutch, and raised the lamp in front of the courtyard to illuminate it, his hands trembling with excitement , almost burned the lampshade.

"I don't believe it. What so many people have seen with their own eyes can still be an illusion!"

But when he got under the old banyan tree, he didn't see anything unusual, only a series of circular marks on the ground, which were as big as his palm.

"My lord, do you know what this is?"

"I don't know if I recognize it, but I can be sure of something here just now."

Xiao Beicheng's lantern illuminated the branches above his head. He couldn't see the details with his squinted eyes, so he called Shen Ci who was still hiding behind to help, "Go to the top to see if there are any clues."

When the little guard thought about being superstitious, he was terrified, "No way, no way, if I really want to be caught as a substitute, I won't be able to serve the lord!"

The man kicked him and said in a low voice, "What's the use of raising you."

But he knew Shen Ci's temperament, and he didn't want to force him, so he simply put the lamp in his hand, performed lightness kung fu, and jumped onto the branch.

"Hand over the things."

Shen Ci murmured indistinctly that this would not work, that if something happened to him, he would not be able to bear it, and the gentleman was too annoyed, so he covered his mouth with his paws that had just touched the soil on the ground, and slammed The earthy smell hit his throat, and he finally stopped his nagging.

Xiao Beicheng stared at the branches for a long time, rubbed his fingers against the marks on them, looked at the dust on his fingertips, sniffed it, and then blew it away.

"As you think, it's not an illusion, there were indeed people here just now."

As he said that, he jumped down, pulled his arms, and made Jun Ziyou, who was leaning on Shen Ci's body, stand up straighter, and kicked the little guard aside.

"There are traces of rubbing on the branches, and there are small debris, which should be the fine debris that fell off after the hemp rope was scraped. The person who did the work was very skillful, and he did things neatly. He was able to move a dead body in a short time. You are definitely not an idle person, it seems that you need to be careful."

"Besides, there is one more thing I am very puzzled about..."

Seeing Jun Ziyou frowning with a serious face, Xiao Beicheng was still waiting for his next words.

Unexpectedly, most of the day passed, but he raised his eyebrows and smiled shyly at the person, "But I can't remember."

Just after Xiao Beicheng wanted to complain about the yin marriage case, he seemed to be a demented fool after being drugged.

Before he could speak, he saw that the man's eyes suddenly became blurred, he staggered on his feet, and then fell on his side.

Sure enough, after waking up for too long, I fainted again.

Xiao Beicheng sighed: "I don't know when his problem will be cured..."

When Junziyou woke up, it was already dawn.

It's also strange that Xiao Beicheng actually lowered his figure to accompany Su Shi'an to investigate the case. This is a strange thing that the sun came out from the west. When Junziyou heard about it, he couldn't wait to find him. When he went out, he saw a few villagers standing beside him. At the door of the house, pointing in the direction of the old banyan tree.

He greeted people first when he went out, "Hey, Uncle Liu, Aunt Li, and Zhang Shisanniang, what are you guys looking at here?"

As he said that, he also put his head closer in a serious manner.

When the older woman saw him, she frowned with a smile, "Hey, isn't this a gentleman, I haven't seen you for a few years, you've grown so big, you're going to make my aunt rare."

Junziyou felt a little conflicted, but he still stretched out his hand. Aunt Li touched it for a long time, and seeing Junziyou's appearance became more and more beautiful, she said regretfully: "If I knew it earlier, I would have let the second girl from my auntie's family marry you. The two of you are childhood sweethearts, you two are in love with each other, you are a talented man and a woman, you are a perfect match, what a pity... now the second girl has three children, and the oldest one can read and write, tsk tsk, what a pity... ..."

Gentleman Youxin said that the second girl in your family is not ugly, but she has a physique of [-] catties when she was young, and she can eat as much as he eats for a week in a day, but the Jun family really can't afford it.

Furthermore, the second girl often came to his house, and she clearly liked Su Qinghe. It's useless to reminisce about the past.

When Aunt Li was chattering, she finally remembered to get to the point, then she took Jun Ziyou's hand and walked towards his small courtyard.

"Auntie told you, you can't run around when you come back this time, and you can't do anything wrong. When your father was here, you didn't believe in evil, and you had to follow the rules in everything you did. Don't mind the bad words, he left early, maybe it's because of this..."

"Aunt Li..."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about him, let's talk about this. I heard that Piao Diaozi came out again last night, but it's a pity that my uncle was not allowed to go out. Thinking about it, I'm really scared."

"What is the origin of this thing? Did anyone believe it in the past few years?"

"Hey, the legend has been around for a long time. The real accident happened in the past two or three years. The dead are all young men of good age. The son of the old Xiao family at the west end of the village is the son who went to the mountain to cut firewood and was possessed by Piao Diaozi He was so out of his wits for several days, he was so frightened that he couldn't understand anything, and he hanged himself at home not long after. The old Xiao's family was passed down for three generations, but his father cried so much that he died, so he let go. It's a pity. .”

Hearing Aunt Li's regret, Uncle Liu and Shisanniang Zhang also echoed: "Yes, a good person, just gone, now the old Xiao's family has no queens, only the crazy Aunt Xiao is left. Not a few years to live."

"Well, the husband and son are gone, and no one can bear it."

Jun Ziyou was deeply impressed by this family surnamed Xiao. It is an ordinary villager, and the family is not rich. He followed behind to wipe his ass for everything, which caused Xiao Chong to become more and more lawless, and he became a bully in their village, doing nothing and doing nothing all day long.

Speaking of which, Xiao Chong is about the same age as Junziyou. He had made trouble in the Jun family's private school a few years before he left Gusu. He was frightened away by Junziyou's pretentious tricks. Destroyed several sets of tables and chairs in his house.

After Su Qinghe heard about this incident, he went to Xiao's house that night to take him out and beat him up. Xiao Chong couldn't beat him again, but he cursed a little harshly, which made Su Qinghe even more angry. Originally, he just wanted him to eat He was hard on the flesh, but learned well, and finally he had to knock out one of his front teeth before giving up.

After all, the Su family is a big family in the area, and most people would not dare to mess with it. Uncle Xiao had no choice but to pick a few catties of fruit from his own field and send them to the door to make amends, but was rejected by Su Qinghe.Later, these things were sent to Jun's private school, but Junziyou refused to accept them, so the tension on both sides was settled.

So when it comes to Xiao Chong being possessed by Piao Diaozi to death, Jun Ziyou only thinks that he is a villain who got bad rewards, which is really satisfying.

However, someone died for no apparent reason, and there is no explanation until now, and it cannot be justified. Since there is a relationship, it must be investigated.

Jun Ziyou took note of this first, and then asked, "Aside from Xiao Chong, are there any other related cases?"

Uncle Liu counted with his fingers, "There's Qian Doudou's father at the village entrance, who didn't exist last winter, Zhou Wanfu's younger brother, who didn't exist this spring, and Wang Widowniang's younger brother who just entered autumn. Gone too. All three of them hanged themselves, which is really wicked."

Zhang Shisanniang said again: "It's strange to say that my crazy uncle also went out to hang out on the night that Wang Widow Niang's brother died. I dare not listen to words such as hanging people up and killing them, so I quickly stuffed a bun and blocked his mouth."

"Hey, that's not right. Didn't Piao Diaozi take away people who are wandering around when he bumps into them? Why is there nothing wrong with your uncle?"

"Who knows..."

Junziyou knows a thing or two about the dead people they mentioned, they are all gangsters who don't do their jobs properly, they often get together to bully men and women, and the villagers get a headache when they see them.

Could it be that this Piao Diaozi is also a good ghost who eliminates evil and promotes good?

The gentleman tourist said a few words, sent him away, and went to the old banyan tree with a stick.

There was a clear dew in the morning, the ground was wet, and the traces left by last night were much lighter.

He bent down and gestured with his hands, but he still didn't know where it came from, and he couldn't even guess what it was.

"This thing, shouldn't it be a kind of stable stilts..."

"Maybe."

Xiao Beicheng walked quietly, and at some point appeared from behind him, so frightened that Junziyou screamed, unable to dodge in time, he fell headfirst into the muddy water.

His clothes and pants were soaked in cold water, and he was so cold that he grinned his teeth. Seeing Xiao Beicheng pursing his lips and giggling beside him, he became even more angry.

"Do you know how much this outfit costs? You haven't paid back the 800 taels of silver you owe the palace, is it itchy?"

"It's itchy, it's very itchy, Lord Lao, please scratch it for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jun Ziyou was pushed into the mud pit again, Xiao Beicheng pressed up without saying hello, pinched his chin, and rubbed a few fingerprints on his face.

The two rubbed the black mud all over their bodies and faces, but they played vigorously, and vented all the anger they had accumulated on each other, and they didn't stop until they couldn't move anymore.

When Steward Liu heard the noise and rushed over, the two had already turned into clay figurines. When he saw this, he immediately became angry and gasped for breath. In the cold weather, his nose was like a punching bag, exhaling mist.

"Sir! You're still so reckless, you're looking for a beating!"

Jun Ziyou stopped talking, Xiao Beicheng wanted to explain a few words for others, but before he opened his mouth, he was beaten back.

"Prince, too! Why are you so ignorant of prudence, what a mess it is to mess with this body!"

Butler Liu thought to himself that his master hadn't played with mud since he was three years old, and he thought he was extremely intelligent and comparable to others, so he couldn't imagine that he was waiting for him here!

Su Shi'an also showed up at this time, put on a serious look, and taunted, "That's right, the prince is still doing such a child's thing at such an old age, it really makes the officials speechless. Now the scene has been censored." Destruction, what should be the next step?"

A gentleman wants to argue, but finds himself sitting in the mud and has no right to speak out.

And at the scene where Piao Diaozi appeared last night, the evidence was completely obliterated in the slapstick just now, and the clues were completely broken.

The author has something to say: I moved the office today, and the post is rather urgent, there may be some small bugs that haven't been fixed yet, please forgive me!
