The wife of the Liu family died.

He died as if it was the time set by the King of Hades, no more than a moment, no less, and he died at this most critical moment.

The night was getting darker, and the wind was blowing Ruan Tao's clothes. He looked at Liu's body on the ground with a solemn expression.

Lizheng and his son were terrified. A good person suddenly died in front of him. No one could digest it for a while.

Du Zimei was the first to react. He turned around and asked Lizheng and his son, "Has anyone come to the village recently?"

"This... Hu people's spies have made a lot of noise recently. Our village has responded to the imperial court's call and banned strangers from entering." Li Zheng replied.

"Before this?" Ruan Tao turned around and asked, "Before Liu Lao Liu disappeared, did anyone come to the village? Especially monks and Taoists."

"This..." Li was thinking.

At this time, his son suddenly said: "Half a month ago, a Persian monk came here."

"A monk from Persia?" Du Zimei was a little surprised, "What are you doing here? What does it look like?"

"I just came to the village and wandered around, but didn't do anything. I asked the villagers for something to eat, and then left." Lizheng's son said in earnest.

The Persian monk...Ruan Tao was in a bit of trouble. He didn't know much about foreigners in this era, and the relationship between Daqin and the Western Regions is also delicate.

On the one hand, the two parties are doing business, with close business contacts and prosperous business routes; on the other hand, the friction between the two parties has never been broken!

No!Recently, there has been another incident of spies. The court is trying its best to investigate and arrest, and it almost turned the whole Shangjun upside down.

But for the foreigners who live and do business in Shangjun, the policy of the imperial court is mainly to protect and support.

"Persian monk?" Du Zimei frowned, "Why didn't he go to Anyuanfang instead of going to such a remote village for food?"

Anyuanfang is a place for foreign monks and merchants in Shangjun. The land and housing prices there are relatively cheap. Many businessmen from the Western Regions will choose Anyuanfang when they come to Shangjun.

It stands to reason that when a Persian monk entered Qin Dynasty, he didn't choose to go to Anyuan Square where he was specially housed, but why did he go to such a remote village as Panyang Village?

"I don't know." Lizheng's son helped his father, "At that time we also felt strange, many people came out to see, and the Persian monk gave each of us a white goose feather, saying it was for blessing."

"Goose feather?" Ruan Tao asked curiously.

"It's just a scam." Li Zheng said, "I received five cents for a goose feather."

"Tsk! What a black heart." Du Zimei said, "Could the monk the woman mentioned before she died be this Persian monk?"

"Probably not." Li Zheng denied, "We usually call monks monks and Persian monks Persian monks. They are called separately."

Ruan Tao nodded: "Furthermore, the Persian monk should not know the method of refining corpses in the Central Plains. He should refine vampires, werewolves and so on."

"What are those?" Du Zimei asked curiously.

"Things outside of them." Ruan Tao said, "I will tell you slowly when I turn around."

After finishing speaking, Ruan Tao sighed and looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sky has completely darkened, and if there is any further delay, the city gates and square gates will probably be closed.

Ruan Tao said to Du Zimei, "Let's go back."

Seeing this, Li Zheng and his son subconsciously persuaded him to stay: "Sir, why don't you leave after dinner?"

Ruan Tao waved his hand: "After dinner, you won't be able to enter the city."

As he spoke, he told Lizheng and his son, "Don't make any public about the affairs of the Liu family, so as not to cause panic, and just talk about ordinary fraudulent corpses. If any strangers enter the village in the future, please send someone to tell me, or You can report directly to the official. Prefect Wu is a good official who is dedicated to his duties, so you don’t have to be afraid of him.”

Lizheng and his son nodded repeatedly and responded one by one.

Then he looked at the woman's body on the ground, and said: "Contact her family to mourn for her, just say that she couldn't accept her husband's death for a while, and died suddenly in a hurry."

Hearing this, Lizheng sighed: "Liu Laoliu originally bought Liu's from a comprador who was doing business with Hu people."

"She had a stubborn temper and ran away several times. She was caught by the comprador and beaten to death on the street. Liu Laoliu saw that she was pitiful, so he sold the farm cattle and bought her. Since then, she has settled in our village."

"He's just a naked person, where did his family come from..."

Hearing this, Ruan Tao was stunned for a while, then looked back at the woman.

She died with her eyes open.

His eyes stared blankly at the place where Liu Laoliu had turned into ashes, and he refused to close them until he died.

Seeing this, Ruan Tao sighed, stepped forward and closed her eyes, then took out a beeswax bead from her bosom and stuffed it in her mouth, then took off her robe and covered her head .

Immediately afterwards, he waved the dust whisk in his hand to pinch the formula and recited the super-salvation mantra.

For a moment, the golden light suddenly appeared, and the streamer like fireflies flew around the woman, and after a while, the streamer ran towards Haoyue.

"Sir... this is?" Li Zheng asked.

"Bury the two of them together." Ruan Tao said, "It's not easy for a person to live. For such a caring person, let people die together when they die."

Du Zimei said in a low voice: "Didn't Liu Lao Liu be burned to ashes by you? How can I bury him?"

"Isn't it enough to dig out the soil on the ground alone?" Ruan Tao said as it should.

"Sir, benevolent." Lizheng and his son bowed to Ruan Tao to salute.

Ruan Tao saluted them back: "I won't stay."

The group said a few more polite words, then Ruan Tao and Du Zimei rode towards the city.

Speaking of horse riding, Ruan Tao has always disliked riding this thing, especially when riding in the countryside, he feels that his internal organs can be knocked out.

He used to like to ride a mule. He thought that a mule was faster than a donkey and gentler than a horse.

But since he started to make friends with Du Zimei and others, Zigong forced him to learn how to ride a horse.

At that time, Zigong gave him the feeling that when he was a child, his grandmother saw Niu Er learning piano next door and insisted on enrolling him in a training class.

I don't know how many times I fell on the racecourse, but Ruan Tao finally learned it after a month of learning.

But he still felt that riding a mule was not as comfortable as his family's. Normally, when he rode on a mule, Zigong wouldn't say anything about him, but as long as he went out with Du Zimei, Zigong would definitely force him to ride a horse.

Although Ruan Tao was very dissatisfied with this, he had to say that he should ride faster when he was on the road now!

The two hurried and hurried, and finally entered the city at the last moment before the city gate closed.

"Slow down! Slow down!" Ruan Tao hurriedly said to Du Zimei, who was galloping in front of him, as he was uncomfortably bumped.

Du Zimei slowed down: "If you slow down, the gate will be closed."

"Then let your young master come out to pick us up." Ruan Tao tightened the reins and let the horse pace slowly.

"He doesn't punish you, he wants to punish me." Du Zimei complained, but she also slowed down and walked slowly beside Ruan Tao.

Du Zimei could feel the young master's difference to Ruan Tao, and he couldn't explain why, every time he mentioned this, Taibai and Kong Ming would laugh, and the eldest son would always find something to make things difficult for him.

Speaking of their son, Du Zimei wanted to complain a long time ago!If it is said that their young master despises Kong Ming and has a dark heart all day long, he does not know that he himself is even more black-hearted.

Such things as smiling and tricking people are never relentless.

I don't know if I should praise him for being calm, gentle and dignified, and he is a gentleman?

"Why do you want to come to the city today?" Du Zimei asked.

Ruan Tao's residence is outside the city. Fusu once mentioned that there are so many empty yards in Zhao's mansion and asked him if he would like to move here to live in anyway. Together, the two can play together every day.

But Ruan Tao refused, saying that he likes to live outside the city, where the feng shui is good and it is quiet.

"Zigong." Ruan Tao complained, "He said he has something important and asked me to stay with him for a few days."

Hearing this, Du Zimei smiled and said, "Mr. Duanmu raises you like a son."

"Go!" Ruan Tao said, "It's clearly a filial father."

"By the way, remember to go back and talk to your young master about Panyang Village today." Ruan Tao instructed, "I always feel that this matter has something to do with the Gu family's affairs."

"Understood." Du Zimei said, "Zhuoling Pavilion is investigating the matter of the Gu family. Don't worry, the sky will fall and I will support you."

"I'm afraid that group of trash won't be able to withstand it." Ruan Tao sighed.

Up to now, he still doesn't trust the group of wine bags and rice bags in Zhuoling Pavilion.

"Then do you want to try Ding Ding Tian?" Du Zimei asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Ruan Tao asked.

"Literally." Du Zimei looked at him straight, and smiled, "The eldest son asked me to ask you a long time ago, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity."

"Oh?" Ruan Tao slightly raised his eyebrows, the one who should come always came.

Du Zimei said: "Do you want to enter Zhuoling Pavilion?"

"..."

**

In a small courtyard on Yusi Street in Huaiyuanfang, Zi Gong was looking out the door while flicking the abacus in his hand.

At this time, I heard the sound of horseshoes on the street, and the shop assistant opened the courtyard door.

"Mr. Ruan, you are back! Our master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Hearing this, Zigong put down his abacus and went out to meet Ruan Tao.

Ruan Tao was a little nauseated by the horse, his face was a little pale, his hair was loosened, and his outer robe was taken off to the wife of the Liu family.

In Zigong's eyes, Ruan Tao at this time looked like he just came back after wandering in Liuxiang, Huajie.

"Did you, Du Zimei take you to whoring? Or were you being prostituted?" Zigong's eyes widened.

If Ruan Tao nodded and said "yes" at this time, he could roll up his sleeves and take his abacus to the Zhao Mansion to fight with Li Taibai on the spot, but if he couldn't win, he would say otherwise.

"What!" Ruan Tao sat casually on the porch, "There was a corpse change in Panyang Village, and it took a little effort to deal with a white zombie."

Hearing this, Zigong heaved a sigh of relief: "It's fine over there."

Then he asked the clerk to put the dinner in the garden to keep it cool, and ordered him to bring out the incense burner and light it with mosquito-repelling incense.

"Why do you have to come to the city to stay with you today?" Ruan Tao poured a glass of wine for Zigong, and said with a smile, "What? Are you afraid of having a nightmare?"

"Stop!" Zi Gong took a sip of the wine in his glass, "What can I be afraid of? It's business."

"Why is everyone looking for me on business today?" Ruan Tao said, holding his chin.

"Who else is looking for you?"

"That little boy."

"The eldest son is the oldest of all the sons, and he is also the most respected. Why do you always call him the little son? You don't say anything else, how old is he older than you!" Zigong reminded.

"I called that in front of him, didn't he say nothing?"

"What business can he do with you? Say hello to you?"

"Of course not! I'll discuss this matter with you later, so first tell me what you want from me?" Ruan Tao urged.

Hearing this, Zigong put down the wine cup in his hand, and his expression became serious.

Seeing this, Ruan Tao also put away his foolish look: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Zigong replied: "Tomorrow, Wang and others will arrive in Shangjun."

The author says:

I still can't do it today, but I should be able to do it tomorrow, right?
