Go to Kaifeng to be a civil servant

The Sanban Courtyard in Kaifeng Mansion was the lodging and resting place for low-ranking government servants.There are many yamen servants in this Kaifeng mansion, except for those who have already married and have a house in Bianliang City, the remaining half of the yamen servants live in this courtyard.The entire courtyard fell, at least six to seventy people.

Let's just say that Jin Qian rushed out of the dormitory all at once, with luck in his dantian, and yelled with that loud voice, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest in the third class courtyard, and the sound of cursing layer upon layer.

I heard a few people in the Zhuang class courtyard on the west side yelling: "Grandma, what is the ghost screaming in the middle of the night? Is there a ghost? There is a fart ghost! I think you are the kid who is pretending to be a ghost, so noisy that the uncle can't sleep. Good sleep!"

Someone in the fast class courtyard on the east side also scolded: "Which birdman is this! Howling ghosts and howling? The uncle will go out to handle the case tomorrow morning, and if you continue to quarrel, you will be arrested and sent to the prison!"

A few dormitories close to Jinqian's dormitory also came from a vague voice: "Jinqian—don't make trouble every three days, just be quiet for two days, and let our ears feel comfortable for two days, okay? !"

Jin Qian froze in place immediately, the rest of the cries for help that he had prepared were stuck in his throat, and he thought: NND, I can't imagine that the ancients are more materialistic than our modern people, and there is no one to watch the fun, Tsk tsk, this ancient man is too imaginative!

Jin Qian was complaining a lot here, but he heard Zheng Xiaoliu in the door behind him shivering and screaming: "You, you, you, what are you, what... No, don't come here!!"

Jin Qian suddenly felt the wind blowing from behind, the cold current was bleak, and the hairs all over his body stood on end, he thought: Xiaoliu, it's not that we don't want to help, but that we are a dignified modern person who has been dealing with TV and computer since childhood , This business of catching ghosts and removing demons has really not been studied in depth!You hold on for 2 minutes first, then we will go to Lao Bao for help.Wait a minute, I don’t know if the Wu Pen Ji I heard before is true or not. If the ghost is not a good bird, it will be a big deal if it hurts Lao Bao. By then, Mr. Gongsun and the cat will not be with us. Desperately—wait a minute, cat? !

Jin Qian suddenly had a flash of inspiration: By the way, if I remember correctly, cats seem to have psychic abilities, and that cat must be more capable!

Thinking of this, Jin Qian immediately stretched his legs, and his figure flew out of the third class courtyard like a glimpse of a glimpse.

I saw that Jin Qian's body was like a glimpse, but after a few leaps, he crossed the Yimen and the lobby, came to the back office, and fell into the Confucius' courtyard.

Looking around the East and West Wings of the Master's Courtyard, Jin Qian couldn't help but look up at the sky, put his hands together, muttered a few words, felt uneasy after thinking about it, made a cross on his chest, and walked into the east courtyard with confidence. Arriving at the door of the east chamber on the farthest side, just about to slap on the door panel to call for help, but suddenly heard a loud shout from inside the door: "Who is it?!"

Jin Qian only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and a cold light rushed towards the front door along with the strong wind.

Jin Qian was shocked immediately, and hurriedly took a step back, barely avoiding the oncoming cold light sword, but he couldn't care about his feet at all, and immediately sat down on the ground, suddenly felt the cold light coming again, Jin Qian hurriedly shouted Shouted: "Lord Zhan, be merciful!"

"Jin Qian?" The person opposite was surprised, "Why are you here?"

Jin Qian saw the ghost first and then met the sword, he was really frightened, he murmured for a long time before uttering half a sentence: "Master Zhan Zhan, Master Bao, Baobao..."

Zhan Zhao was startled when he heard it, and hurriedly shouted, "Did something happen to Mr. Bao?"

Jin Qian shook his head vigorously, took a breath and said, "It's something happened to Master Bao's washbasin!"

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment before asking, "Washbasin?"

Jin Qian nodded quickly and said, "Master Bao's washbasin is haunted by ghosts! Master Zhan, hurry up and take a look with me!"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback when he heard the words, frowned slightly and sized Jin Qian up and down a few times. He couldn't help but think of the situation in the afternoon, and thought: This Jin Qian behaved weirdly, maybe he came up with some weird idea to torment people?But when he took a closer look at Jin Qian, his face was terrified and he was trembling all over, it didn't seem like he was lying——

Seeing that Zhan Zhao was silent, Jin Qian became anxious, jumped up from the ground, grabbed Zhan Zhao's sleeve and shouted, "Master Zhan, that Zheng Xiaoliu is still fighting the evil spirit to the death. Desperately break out of the siege, risk your life to come to ask for help, Mr. Zhan, you can't just ignore death!" After that, in order to enhance the infection, he even put on a crying face, but the skill was not enough, it was half a drop No tears were shed.

"..."

Zhan Zhao looked at his sleeve that was about to be pulled off, his head was covered with black lines, and he thought to himself: This Jin Qian, doesn't it mean that he thinks that his reputation as Nan Xia is just a fake, and he always steps forward to pull it? system?

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao felt displeased, and just wanted to say goodbye to Jin Qian, but when he saw Jin Qian's expression on the verge of tears, he couldn't help but soften his heart: Thinking that Jin Qian has been begging for a living since he was a child, he has no one to teach him , coupled with the fact that he is still young, it is inevitable that his behavior will be biased—forget it, it is just adding another younger brother, and let him make trouble.

"Since that's the case, Zhan will go with you. You wait here for a while, and Zhan will go back to his room first..."

"Go back to the room? How can you have that kind of leisure time? Saving people is like putting out a fire, Mr. Zhan, don't be a mushroom!"

After all, Jin Qian couldn't help but drag Zhan Zhao towards the door.

"..."

Zhan Zhao looked at the plain long clothes on his body, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

-

When the two returned to the door of the dormitory in the third class, Jin Qian, who had been tugging at Zhan Zhao, suddenly stopped, turned around and retreated behind Zhan Zhao, clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Master Zhan, please ask me first." !"

Zhan Zhao had no choice but to enter the door alone.As soon as I crossed the threshold, I heard a faint cry from inside the house: "You, you don't come here, I, I, I don't, I don't listen, I, I don't deal with ghosts..."

Jin Qian couldn't help frowning when he heard it, and thought: We all went out to find rescuers and came back, why are these two old words still uninnovative?

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he realized that the real situation was really different, and immediately rushed into the inner room, shouting loudly, "Who is it?"

When Jin Qian saw Zhan Zhao rushing in, he suddenly became more courageous, and then slipped in too, helping Zheng Xiaoliu by the wall.

I saw that Zhan Zhao was dressed in plain clothes, reflecting the moonlight, and a cold sword, overflowing with cold light, exactly: a body full of righteousness, evil spirits will not invade.And that Zheng Xiaoliu, who was still terrified a moment ago, became energetic when he saw Mr. Zhan's figure, his eyes shone like two searchlights, shining brightly.

Looking at the white ghost again, it seems to be frightened, retreating quietly in a corner, bowing its head and shoulders, as if there is something unspeakable to hide.

Seeing that the ghost was suppressed by Zhan Zhao, Jin Qian was overjoyed and thought:

This time we bet right!This cat is indeed the "royal cat" conferred by the emperor himself, it is really extraordinary!Other felines only have the ability to psychic, and our fourth-rank cat with a knife in front of the Lao Baozuo in Kaifeng Mansion also has the ability to suppress evil.Tsk tsk, it's no wonder that Lao Bao judges the yang at day and breaks the yin at night, and is not attacked by evil spirits. It seems that apart from the crescent moon above Lao Bao's head, this cat can be regarded as a prerequisite.

Seeing Zhan Zhao holding the huge que, he stepped forward two steps steadily, and said in a loud voice, "Where is the evildoer, dare to go wild in Kaifeng Mansion?"

As soon as the ghost heard it, it immediately fell to the ground, weeping quietly: "My lord, the grass people have a grievance to seek!"

Zhan Zhao and Zheng Xiaoliu were taken aback when they heard the words, but Jin Qian heaved a sigh of relief, thinking: Fortunately, this ghost is really here to avenge justice, not some evil ghost.

Zhan Zhao paused for a moment, but saw that the ghost's words and deeds were sad, not like an evil ghost, so he withdrew the giant gate and asked again: "You said you have a grievance to sue? But according to what Zhan has seen, I'm afraid I'm not a common man. Why did you come to Yangjian to avenge your grievances instead of crying to Yama?"

Hearing that, the ghost immediately burst into tears, crying and saying:

"My lord, why don't grass people think about it, it's just that grass people can't enter the underworld!"

Zhan Zhao couldn't help being surprised, and asked again: "Why is this so?"

The ghost cried again: "Just because the grassroots people were killed, and their flesh and blood were burned into a black basin, and a strand of wronged soul was sealed in it. They can't be released, they can't go to the underworld, and they can't go to the heaven. How can they go to the Hall of Yama to file a complaint?"

Hearing the words, Zhan Zhao couldn't help being furious, and said loudly: "There is such a thing, you should quickly explain the past and the consequences in detail."

The ghost immediately showed joy, kowtowed his head to express his thanks, and then began to speak:

"Cao Min's surname is Liu and his name is Shichang. He lives in the outer city of the Eastern Capital. The family has a wife and a son. They were originally doing physiology. Because they rode a donkey home and their luggage was heavy, they spent the night at Brother Yi Shaotao's house that night. Unexpectedly, he Brother is so ruthless, he killed the grass people, made money, and incinerated the grass people's flesh and mud to make this black basin. Now the grass people are sealed in this black basin, abandoning their wives, and can't meet each other. I just ask all the adults to stand for the grass people. Mr. Bao avenged this grievance and avenged his hatred, even if the soul of the wronged person is under the nine fountains, he would still be grateful."

After hearing this, everyone felt pity and sighed in their mouths.

Zhan Zhao pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Liu Shichang, if what you said is true, Mr. Bao knows clearly, and will definitely give you justice."

When Liu Shichang heard it, he kowtowed again and thanked him loudly.

Zhan Zhao nodded, then turned to Jin Qian and Zheng Xiaoliu and said, "When the two of you wake up tomorrow, immediately take this black basin and go outside the gate to beat the drum to avenge his grievance."

Zheng Xiaoliu immediately replied: "This subordinate obeys!"

Jin Qian had a bad idea: Are you kidding, doesn't this mean that today we are going to sleep with a ghost?This is too exciting, right?Do you want to defend him tomorrow?Is there any mistake, what kind of place is the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, there are not ten or eight door gods guarding the gate, how could this ghost get in?At that time, if the black basin suddenly becomes dumb, and the old Bao gets angry, won't our ass be hit by the board for no reason, no, no, how can we modern people do such stupid things?

Thinking of this, Jin Qian made up his mind and said to Zhan Zhao, "Lord Zhan, this is not an appropriate move."

Zhan Zhao was about to turn around and leave, when he heard Jin Qian's words, he couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "Why did Jin Qian say that?"

Jin Qian hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Lord Zhan, this Liu Shichang is an unjust soul left in the world. The lobby is an important place in the government. It must be very yang, and I'm afraid this ghost won't be able to get in." After finishing speaking, Jin Qian hurriedly observed Zhan Zhao's face , Thinking: I don’t know if the lines copied from the TV series will work or not?

But seeing that Zhan Zhao lowered his brows slightly, he thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable, so in your opinion, how should this black basin complain about grievances?"

Jin Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Why don't you take the black pot to the flower hall to complain to Mr. Bao at night?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "It's late at night, I'm afraid your lord has already gone to bed, so please excuse me..."

"Master Zhan's words are wrong." Jin Qian hurriedly added: "This Wupen is a strange case, and the person complaining about it is a ghost. The case must be tried at night. At this time, the night is quiet and it is a good time for trial." But he said: My mother, if it is postponed until tomorrow, we spend one night with this ghost, even if we don't lose a few years of life, I am afraid that we will suffer from headaches and brain fever sequelae, so I should send it to Lao Bao for insurance. It's no problem fighting against one or two little innocent souls.

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and thought: Although this Jin Qian is acting perversely, he is very considerate.He couldn't help but nodded secretly, and said: "What Jin Qian said is somewhat reasonable. Then I will trouble you two to send this black basin to the entrance of the flower hall for a while, and Zhan will go back to his room for now, and then go to invite your lord."

When Jin Qian heard this, he couldn't help wondering, and thought: Did the cat take the wrong medicine or the wrong calcium supplement today?Why is such a mother-in-law always going back to the room, is it possible to go back to the room to put on a mask and make-up when going to see Master Bao?

Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help but blurt out and asked, "I don't know why Mr. Zhan wants to go back to his room?"

When Zhan Zhao heard this, his complexion sank, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said after a long time, "Does Zhan need to dress like this to meet the adults?"

Ok?

so dressed?Jin Qian was taken aback, his eyes couldn't help looking Zhan Zhao up and down a few times, and he thought: There's nothing wrong with it, the plain white long dress is so elegant, tsk tsk, this cat has a good figure, and looks good in anything, although the usual blue The shirt and the red robe are very eye-catching, but it’s good to change the taste once in a while... It’s just that the white dress is too simple, with only two straps, and the material is too thin——huh?

Jin Qian suddenly felt that something was wrong, and before he could turn his head around, Xiao Liu who was beside him seemed to have discovered something surprising, and shouted loudly: "Master Zhan, why did you come out in obscene clothes? Even though it's early summer, the cold air is not clear at night, Mr. Zhan is wearing such thin clothes, what if he catches a cold?"

Xie Yi?

Jin Qian blinked his eyes and thought: What kind of clothes are these?Why does it sound a bit familiar... Ah!

Jin Qian suddenly broke out in cold sweat: It's not Xie Yi, it's obscene clothes!Doesn't obscene clothes refer to close-fitting pajamas?It is equivalent to underwear in ancient times... My mother, we actually dragged out a cat who only wore underwear.

Looking at Zhan Zhao again, his thin lips were tightly closed, his face was slightly condensed, and he was staring at himself intently.

Jin Qian immediately broke into a smile, bowed his head and nodded, "Master Zhan, if you want to go back to your room, of course you can, no problem, please do what you want."

-

After Zhan Zhao left, Jinqian and Zheng Xiaoliu hurried to the courtyard of Houya Flower Hall with the black basin, and waited at the entrance of the flower hall. Not long after, they saw Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun walking quickly, followed by the well-dressed Zhan grown ups.

A group of people entered the flower hall one after another, Mr. Bao sat down in the middle, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce stood on both sides, Jin Qian and Zheng Xiaoliu, who was holding a black basin, stood in the center of the flower hall, Master Bao asked, "Zheng Xiaoliu, what do you have in your hand?" What you are holding is the black basin that only wants to avenge grievances?"

Zheng Xiaoliu put the black basin on the ground, cupped his hands and replied, "My lord, that's right."

Lord Bao nodded, looked down at Wupen and asked, "Wuben, can you hear my question?"

Just listen to the Wupen answer: "My lord, the grass people heard it."

As soon as the sound came out, both Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun were shocked, and they couldn't help but looked at each other.After a pause, Master Bao asked again: "Then if you have any grievances, please tell the government one by one."

When Wu Pen heard this, he immediately shouted thanks, and then he repeated what he just said in detail.

After hearing this, Mr. Gongsun turned to Mr. Bao and said, "My lord, according to what Liu Shichang said, the two brothers who murdered are indeed ruthless, and they must be arrested as soon as possible."

Lord Bao nodded, and asked again: "Liu Shichang, I want to ask you, do you know the names of the two brothers who killed you?"

Wupen remained silent for a long time before saying quietly, "Return to your lord, the grass-roots don't know."

Master Bao was taken aback, and said again: "Those two are the murderers who killed you, why don't you even know their names?"

The black basin cried: "My lord, the grass people died unfortunately, and their souls were sealed in this black basin. I don't know how many days have passed, but only relying on a wave of resentment, the grass people can't remember many things."

Master Bao couldn't help frowning when he heard the words: "Then do you remember where those two people live?"

"Caomin can't remember clearly, but I just vaguely remember that it seems to be on a mountain."

"This..." Master Bao shifted his gaze to Mr. Gongsun.

Mr. Gongsun also asked: "Liu Shichang, what do you still remember?"

"Caomin remembers the looks and voices of those two."

When everyone heard it, they were immediately confused.

Jin Qian was overjoyed when he heard it, and thought: Love, novels and TV are all deceptive, this ghost not only doesn't know everything, but even has amnesia.This is troublesome. I don't know if there is a technology of identifying people with jigsaw puzzles in ancient times. I don't think so.

Mr. Bao thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked Mr. Gongsun: "Where do you think you should start this case?"

Mr. Gongsun thought for a while and said: "My lord, since Liu Shichang can't remember clearly, it's better to start with this black basin, or there may be clues to follow."

Master Bao nodded and asked Zheng Xiaoliu: "Zheng Xiaoliu, where did this black basin come from?"

"My lord, it was bought by my subordinate's father from the market."

"Which store did you buy it from?"

"Return to the adults, the subordinates did not ask."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Zhao immediately took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, why don't you ask your subordinates to investigate this case with all their strength."

Master Bao raised his eyes to look at Zhan Zhao, and said approvingly, "In that case, there will be Lao Zhan to protect him."

"Subordinates obey."

Seeing this, Mr. Gongsun hurriedly said: "My lord, Guard Zhan has just returned home after handling the case, and the case is so complicated and confusing. It would be too tiring to let Guard Zhan investigate alone."

Mr. Bao nodded, and said: "Sir, what you said is reasonable. Zhan guards, do you want the government to send more people for you?"

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I don't dare to bother my lord. My subordinates already have candidates, and I hope my lord will approve."

"Oh? Who is it?" Master Bao couldn't help raising his voice a little bit, thinking: Guard Zhan never took the initiative to ask for help, but now he asks for someone, this is something new.

Zhan Zhao turned his head slightly, glanced at Jin Qian and Zheng Xiaoliu, then clasped his hands and replied, "My lord, I would like to ask soap servants Jin Qian and Zheng Xiaoliu to assist me in investigating this case."

Everyone couldn't help being startled when they heard the words, Zheng Xiaoliu was so happy that he almost jumped up, and Jin Qian was so surprised that he almost jumped up.

After a pause for a while, Master Bao said, "Why did Zhan Huwei choose these two?"

"Returning to my lord, this black basin complaining of grievances is already bizarre. The less people know about such ghosts and gods, the better, so as not to cause rumors in the market. Since Jin Qian and Zheng Xiaoliu have already known about this matter, they are the best candidates. .”

Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun had an epiphany and nodded their heads.

Mr. Gongsun praised: "Zhan Huwei is not only superb in martial arts, but also considerate in handling things. Gongsun admires it."

"Mr. Gongsun, thank you." Zhan Zhao clasped his hands and replied.

Master Bao smiled with his beard, and ordered Jin Qian and Zheng Xiaoliu in the hall: "Jin Qian and Zheng Xiaoliu, the government will order you two to fully assist the Zhan guards in investigating the Wupen case starting tomorrow."

"Subordinates obey!" The two replied in unison, but their moods were quite different.

Zheng Xiaoliu was very happy to see that she was a small servant who dealt with miscellaneous things, but now she can go out to investigate the case like a fast-moving policeman, and she was very happy to investigate the case with the famous Mr. Zhan. Glory, naturally thank God.

But Jin Qian, who was at the side, shouted in his heart: This cat has a very good memory!Just now we just let the cat walk around the Kaifeng mansion in obscene clothes - what's more, the underwear of the ancients was also tightly wrapped, without revealing the chest or showing the back, the cat has no loss, why did it come so soon? In order to retaliate, let us go out to work, to be exposed to the wind and the sun, to work hard... Tsk tsk, last time we were witnesses, and the food was pretty good. This time we go out with this stingy cat, so what can we eat?

Thinking of this, Jin Qian couldn't help but feel agitated, and hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands and asked, "Mr. Gongsun, my subordinate would like to ask, will all the accommodation, food, and travel expenses on the way to investigate the case be reported to the public account?"

"...Yes." Mr. Gongsun obviously did not expect such a question, so he paused before answering.

Jin Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said: "This subordinate understands."

Master Bao looked at Jinqian, shook his head and said with a light smile: "Okay, Jinqian, you can take this black basin home tonight, rest early, and investigate the case with the guards tomorrow."

Jin Qian's face twitched suddenly: No way!
