I, the ghost hunter, chase my wife thousands of miles away! [Rebirth]

As expected by the two of them, Zhao Wen had an accident when he went back.After night fell, Zhao Wen handed over the official documents to the master of the yamen, and was taken to the mansion to rest.However, as soon as he opened the door, more than a dozen strong men rushed inside, all of them covered with face scarves and holding high swords.

Obviously, it was entrusted by someone to take his life.

"You offended someone you shouldn't offend. I'm here tonight to send you on your way!"

Zhao Wen's anger doubled, "Bold! I am the official of the imperial court, who are you waiting for? Do you still have to fight against the imperial court!"

Shao and Duan in the dark supported their foreheads——Master Qingtian, even if they know that you are an orderly official, they will take your life.

This Zhao Wen was still too young, and he had never tasted the sophistication of the world. He was probably appointed here after passing the imperial examination.

However, such an upright temperament is indeed a good seed for an upright official.

"Everyone—I'm sorry."

Shao Mobai appeared from the shadows, jumped onto the eaves with a light body, folded his arms around his chest under the dark blue night sky, and said:

"I have saved this Mr. Zhao, please go back and tell your bosses, don't send killers in the future, otherwise..."

While he was speaking, a dart was being thrown towards him. With a fixed gaze, he blocked the unopened glazed fan in his hand.After hearing a "thump", the dart was thrown aside and inserted into the pillar of the room.

Almost at the same time, a whip flew out from the corner of the yard. It suddenly appeared, like a poisonous snake jumping out of the darkness, with sharp fangs.

"what--"

There was only a scream, and the man who had attacked Shao Mobai just now was decapitated.

The corner of Shao Mubai's lips curled up, and he continued with the previous words: "Otherwise, my husband will get angry~"

Everything happened too fast, and the whip was retracted quickly after killing someone.Everyone had a meal, and then their scalps became cold.

"I don't care who you are? Anyone who is with this dog official will die!"

In an instant, the swords faced each other.

The sword light flashed across the dark night sky like a river of stars, condensing the moonlight dozens of times and reflecting it out. The intense brightness almost tore the eyeballs apart.

Although those people were well-trained killers, they were far inferior to Shao and Duan's joint efforts, and they all fell to the ground within a quarter of an hour.When Wenfeng, the head catcher assigned to Zhao Wen, arrived, the adults of his family had recovered from the shock and invited the two of them to drink a cup of tea.

"Subordinates are late, please forgive me!"

The catcher, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, knelt down straight with his saber in his hands.Although he is young, he has a strong body and looks very reassuring.

Zhao Wen, however, is strict with himself and lenient, so he helped him gently, "Get up, you will start working tomorrow according to the procedure, and you can come here tonight, which shows that you are also a person who is dedicated to your duties. I have attributes like you I am very pleased."

Shao Yubai nodded silently - this Zhao Wen is indeed a material for being an official, he separates public affairs from private affairs, and did not anger others because of an accident.

"However, there is one more thing that needs to be done immediately."

Zhao Wen no longer had the panic he had before. Thinking about what happened today, who is behind the man in black also surfaced.

"Immediately go to Rongchang Restaurant and arrest the shopkeeper Li Qun. Call more brothers, the other party may have more people."

To be able to sell fake wine in a restaurant openly without the people around him daring to point it out, it means that Li Qun's origin is not simple.If you don't follow the trend and take this force away, I'm afraid there will be more disasters in the future.

"Yes!"

The head catcher didn't ask any more questions, he just obeyed the order respectfully, and immediately led the people there, neat and capable.

As a result, there were only three people left in the government, and a few odd girls.

Zhao Wen ordered the kitchen to cook a few dishes, and the two of them stayed for dinner. One was to reward them for saving their lives, and the other was because Li Qun and his gang had not yet been brought to justice, and the outside world was not peaceful, so the two fought them again just now. , I'm afraid it's not very safe to go out now.

"Thanks to the help of the two heroes today, otherwise, Zhao may not escape this catastrophe."

He made a deep bow to Shao Zhengbai and his tone sincerely.

Duan Wuji didn't know how to entertain these scenes, he just turned his head sideways, half-hid behind Shao Mengbai and didn't speak.

Shao Mobai clasped his fists hurriedly, and said: "Master Zhao is serious. These are just a little effort, not worth mentioning."

According to the current situation, Li Qun and his gang murdered the imperial court official. After they are brought to justice tonight, they may not be able to afford it.What's more, Zhao Wen is an upright person, and he will definitely not accept bribes. In the end, he will be sentenced according to law, and I am afraid that he will have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

After rescuing Zhao Wen, the assigned headhunters also rushed over one after another. Under such heavy protection, Zhao Wen's personal safety naturally need not be worried.

However, since Shao Mobai followed the favor of the other party to stay instead of continuing on his way, he naturally had his reasons - just now, when they started to deal with those men in black, he smelled a trace of ghost in the air.

Lian Duan Wuji also found that when they were fighting, there was a kid in the corner peeping at them.

Since Duan Wuji's eyes can see ghosts, he can somewhat understand the situation of ghosts and monsters. If this place is safe and sound, those little ghosts will not pay so much attention to them.

Or, the attention of these ghosts is not on them at all, but on this newcomer who has already done a good job——Zhao Wen.

The three of them were eating at the banquet, and when the dishes and soup were almost used up, Shao Mobai wiped his mouth with a napkin, and asked the question that made him stay:

"Master Zhao's words are extraordinary, and he has accomplished a lot. Why didn't the emperor assign you to take charge of the county, but instead came to this small county?"

Zhao Wen didn't intend to hide anything, put down his chopsticks and said, "Young Xia doesn't know something. Although Yishun County is small, strange things happen endlessly. Last June, the weather was clearly hot, but there was a sudden heavy snowfall. Such strange phenomena , It was clearly caused by grievances. Therefore, the emperor sent imperial envoys to investigate, but no progress has been made in the past half a year, and strange things have emerged one after another, without any improvement. I really felt strange, so I wanted to find out. So I wrote to His Majesty the Emperor , request to be transferred here, and after the strange phenomenon is broken, the people will be innocent."

Is it a strange phenomenon -- Shao and Duan looked at each other and smiled, confident.

"I don't know, what kind of strange thing?"

"This..." Zhao Wen hesitated for a moment.

Seeing his hesitation, Shao Mobai said: "To be honest, Mr. Zhao, we are ghost hunters who travel the rivers and lakes, and we know some ways of ghosts and gods. Since your lord said it is a strange thing that no one can explain, you might as well talk about it. Maybe we can still understand it." There is something that can help."

Zhao Wen thought about it, and said: "I also read it from the file, and the specific situation is not very clear. I only know that in this Yishun County, there must be no bloody punishment. Otherwise, the red guard who wields the knife to torture (the executioner), his hands will be cut off that night and he will be turned into a mummified corpse."

Shao MObai's eyebrows twitched, "Mummy?"

Zhao Wen nodded, "Yes. This death is horrific, not like ordinary people. Although His Majesty does not believe in the theory of monsters, the previous county magistrate also took the risk and invited a few Taoist priests, but there is still no progress. .”

Shao Mubai pondered for a moment, and pondered: "That is to say...the target of its attack is the red guard of the blood and light punishment. What's the reason..."

Zhao Wendao: "We also find it strange, but we really can't find any other clues. I took office this time to solve this unsolved case and restore the peace of the people of Yishun County. At worst, I will personally execute the sentence and see what happens at night. Who is going to take my life?"

"If you don't know what's going on, it's better not to be impulsive." Shao Mobai sighed that Zhao Wen really didn't want to kill for the sake of the people. Certainly the logic is similar. Since all those who died were red guards, then this bloody punishment is a breakthrough. I wonder what are the bloody punishments according to Lincang’s criminal law?"

Zhao Wendao: "There are ten major tortures in Lincang. Except for tattooing, thundering, finger pinching, and sky lanterns, the other tortures, beheading, beheading, car splitting, beheading hands, and cutting noses are all bloody. Within the scope of the case, it also appeared in the dossier, the punishment for the murder of the red chaperone."

Shao Mubai thought with his chin in his hands, and he had preliminarily finalized the ghost's tactics, and said: "From this point of view, this case is not difficult."

Zhao Wen was surprised: "It's not difficult?"

Shao Mubai said: "As long as it is done by ghosts and demons, then I am [-]% sure that I can take him into prison."

Zhao Wen couldn't understand even more, "Ghost? What is a ghost? Young hero... what are you talking about?"

Shao Mubai smiled lightly, and explained to him the origin of ghosts and the experiences of the two of them along the way, Zhao Wencai could barely accept it.

"But, but why did the young man be sure that it must be ghosts who hurt people, and not someone doing it deliberately?"

Shao Mubai shook his head, "Your Excellency is well educated and has rich experience in solving cases, so he must have some knowledge of forensics, right? I heard that there is any technique that can suck up a person's blood and turn him into a mummified corpse?"

However, Zhao Wen was stumped, his brows gradually wrinkled, and he sighed: "Could it be...there are ghosts and monsters in this world?" He pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Then according to the meaning of the young man?" , in order to solve this case, how should we go about it?"

Shao Mubai thought for a while and said, "Lead the snake out of the hole."

Zhao Wen seemed to see hope, leaned over and said, "I would like to hear more about it."
