Be a national teacher in Liaozhai Fanwen

Flowers sleep late at night, and the grass in the garden is covered with dew.

Apart from the occasional barking of dogs and meowing of cats from the distant square, there is no other sound heard in the whole Shangjun County.

But at this time, the prefect's yamen was brightly lit.

Prefect Wu had already gone home and changed into his official robes, and the yamen servants on duty stood solemnly and straightly on both sides of the courtroom.

He Laosan, Mrs. He, Ruan Tao, Zhao Su and a group of people took a black fish spirit and sat under Wu Taishou.

The whole hall was quiet, only the occasional sound of the master flipping through the files, and the rest didn't even hear a cough.

"Report—!"

The servants who were sent out have returned.

A small group of guards knelt under the hall.

Seeing them returning empty-handed, Prefect Wu anxiously said: "Where are people!!"

The leader raised his head and said: "My lord! That lady has already run away!"

"Run away?!" Tai Wu threw out the Xingtangmu directly in his hand!

"Trash! The door of her workshop has been closed long ago! Can a wife like her fly over the roof? Where can she go? Have you searched the workshop carefully? Or not?"

"My lord, I have searched everything!" The leading officer was a little confused, "I originally thought about searching all the nearby workshops, but... the patrolling Marquis Wu said that Kong alarmed the people, thinking that something happened in Shangjun. What a big change, so I dare not mess around."

Hearing this, Prefect Wu wanted to say something else, but seeing Zhao Su who was sitting beside him holding a teacup nodded in agreement, so he swallowed the words again.

Then he looked at Ruan Tao with some embarrassment.

At this time, Ruan Tao was suffering from severe brain pain, not only because he hadn't slept here in the middle of the night, but also because of the matter of Guhe's family!

Why does it have anything to do with Ding's?

This Ding family is not an ordinary woman, so she is also related to the fish essence in Jiangchang Lake?

Two house fairies, a water ghost, and a girl with a pregnant woman.

The falling into the water three years ago, the invasion of relatives, the temple where the animal-faced Avalokitesvara is enshrined...

One after another, one after another, none of which could be solved by a little magician like him with a half tank of water.

Ruan Tao stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples. He just wanted to earn a few taels of silver to eat, why is this going on forever!

He really wanted to quit and leave!Isn't there a son here?

Isn't his elder brother the well-known benevolent son Fusu?

The matter of the Guhe family is no longer an ordinary matter of metaphysics, it is obviously a criminal case.

This kind of thing should be left to professional people for a long time.

Didn't His Majesty set up Zhuoling Pavilions in various places to recruit capable people and strangers from all over the country?At this time, isn't there still a group of alchemy locked up in the alchemy room in the prefect's yamen?

It's time to let them all out!

Seeing that Ruan Tao looked tired and did not answer, Zhao Su asked, "But are you tired?"

Then he took a purse from his waist and handed it to Ruan Tao, Ruan Tao took the purse exactly.

It's chestnuts!

I never thought, it turns out that this little boy looks like he was born with a non-human appearance, and he also likes to eat these small snacks on weekdays.

Think about it too, people eat whole grains, who really doesn't eat fireworks?

A beautiful smile appeared on the corner of Ruan Tao's mouth, his eyes were glistening with candlelight, he smiled at Zhao Su, "Thank you very much!"

Zhao Su pretended to be indifferent and nodded: "You're welcome."

Seeing this, Prefect Wu also knew that Ruan Tao had really worked hard for the past two days, so he said: "Mr. Ruan, if the matter between the Guhe family is resolved today, it will be considered a settlement of a major case that has been involved for many years! The imperial court will definitely give Sir, issue a commendation order and enter Zhuoling Pavilion."

"No need!" Ruan Tao raised his hand and said, "The He family gave me money before. Collecting money from others to relieve disasters, there is no need to say whether to reward or not."

Besides, he didn't want to enter that Zhuo Ling Pavilion. He was excited when he heard that there was such a place in the imperial court, so he thought it would be good to travel through time!They can actually have an organization in this line of work!

Unexpectedly, when he went to sign up, the person only asked him: "Can you make alchemy?"

He didn't know if he knew it, anyway, he knew what was written in the book, but he didn't know if it had any effect, whether it would eat dead people.

Then the man sneered and told him: "This job is not something everyone can take on, and everyone dares to take it on. If you do it well, it will be much better than you cultivating the Tao and becoming an immortal! If you can't do it well..."

"So what if you can't do it well?"

Holding the pen in his hand, the man pointed to a pit in the distance and said two words simply: "Pit out."

So Ruan Taotou ran away without knowing it, and he didn't have a good impression of Zhuo Lingge from then on.

If you want him to say that His Majesty is foolish and pays too much money today, that's why he was fooled into doing such a thing!

If this group of people can really refine the real elixir, why don't they eat it themselves and become gods? !

Furthermore, the name Zhuo Lingge is really full of modern Jianghu atmosphere, and I don't know who chose it.

Most likely it's the king's prime minister?

"Besides, Mrs. He is a good person, so she shouldn't suffer such a calamity." Ruan Tao continued, "Even if I confiscate the money from the He family, I will definitely not turn a blind eye to such a thing."

Hearing this, Mrs. He and Mrs. He thanked each other repeatedly.

The entire courtroom was brightly illuminated by candles. Under the warm yellow candlelight, the four-character plaque with "Qin Jing Hanging High" hanging in the center of the hall was still majestic.

"It's just... this Ding family is gone, so what should we do now?" Du Zimei squatted at Li Taibai's feet, curiously poking the black fish spirit's head with one hand, and asked.

"Isn't the Ding family bewitched by an evil spirit?" He Laosan said, "Sure, it's true! I saw it with my own eyes when I went to her house to collect Gu Er's body in the morning!"

"She just lay there straight, her hair was loose, she didn't move, and there was no light in her eyes... It seemed like she was possessed by a ghost..." Speaking of these things in the middle of the night, He Laosan only felt embarrassed. My back is a little cold.

Since he was a child, his father had instilled in him how unreliable and untrustworthy the theory of ghosts and gods was. This was also the reason why he did not agree to ask Mrs. He to hire a sorcerer for his niece at first.

It was only later that there was nothing I could do. In order to reassure the old lady, people went to find those wandering warlocks and quacks.

But anyone who is really capable will enter Zhuo Ling Pavilion to make alchemy for His Majesty!The recruits were nothing but liars.

Anyway, He Laosan has always maintained a distrustful attitude towards these things, but what happened from yesterday to today has simply subverted his entire worldview!

—especially his dead sister who crawled out of the water!

"Then why did she run away? Did she suddenly wake up?" Du Zimei said, "Eh? When Brother Ji Zhen and I came back from the old lady's house when we were in the He family just now, why don't you send someone to the Gu family to general Mrs. Ding?" Pick it up? Where are the people you sent?"

Hearing this, everyone remembered this!

He Laosan turned his head to look at the guards who had just returned from the Gu family.

The leading guard looked blank: "There are only a few servants left in the Gu family who guard the yard, and I haven't seen anyone from the He family."

"Nonsense!" Mr. He retorted, "Could it be that a few living people can escape from the ground?"

Hearing this, Ruan Tao's complexion turned ugly instantly.

He hurriedly asked He Laosan: "How much do you know about this Ding family? Where did it come from?"

"This...she is the brother-in-law of our He family, and the cousin of my aunt's daughter-in-law. When she just turned seventeen, our He family took care of her and gave her to the second young master of the Gu family. It's been so many years in a flash." He Laosan said.

"Are you sure she was born?" Ruan Tao then asked.

"This... it should be."

Are your relatives born?Is not this nonsensical!They are all relatives of themselves. If they weren't born from human beings, could they still be born from animals?

Then if she was a beast, wouldn't he be a beast as her relative?

He Laosan was very sure at first, but after being asked by Ruan Tao, he was not so sure for a while.

After all, his sister who was supposed to die could still crawl out of the water, so he wasn't sure for a while whether this distant sister who was originally born in life would suddenly become a beast.

"Ding Huchang was indeed born of an ordinary person." At this time, Mrs. He said, "I know what Mr. Ruan you want to ask. Hu Chang is indeed just an ordinary woman."

"This little girl has been well-behaved and demure since she was a child, but she is a little weaker, but she has no bad intentions."

"At that time, I just saw that the girl had a good personality, so I acted as a matchmaker for the two families. I thought that she would get along well with my daughter after marrying, and there would be no conflicts between the sisters-in-law."

Hearing this, Ruan Tao breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that this Ding Huchang might be transformed by the fox fairy that old lady He's natal family offered.

Now he can't take the stimulation anymore.

Ruan Tao hurriedly picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip of the tea in the cup. After putting down the cup, he turned his head to look at He Laosan: "Master He, when you went to Gu's house this morning, you heard Ding Tell me about your anomaly in detail."

"At that time, I looked at Gu Er's appearance, and I was so frightened that my soul flew away. Later, I was busy helping him collect the body, and I didn't pay much attention to Ding Huchang." He Laosan said, "I just Standing at the door of her house and taking a look, firstly, the old and second things really messed up my hands, and secondly, there is a difference between men and women, so it is not good for me to enter other people's houses."

"Think about it carefully, did you see anything strange? Except she was lying there in a daze." Ruan Tao said.

"Hiss... her feet are weird!" He Laosan said.

"What kind of weird method?"

"When she was lying on the bed, those two feet were still awkwardly stretched." He Laosan replied.

"At that time, it was the girl of their family who mentioned something, saying that Madam has been very strange for the past two months, walking on her feet all the time! It was because of this sentence that I paid attention to her feet."

"When she's lying down, she's always twitching strangely. If she's standing in that position, then those feet must be padded!"

Ruan Tao slapped the table: "It's broken!"
