That night, Qin mubai, with his three confidants, disguised himself as a little horse cart and left Jixian County.

Liao Lirong, an important witness, was sent to Chang'an to deliver a letter. Qin mubai secretly ordered Baiqi to take him. Now he is detained in a humble village more than 30 miles away from the county seat. Qin mubai did not go to the trial last time, but cheated out his confession, which basically confirmed the fact that he participated in the case. Li Ke wants to find the account book of the current income to keep everything safe. It can be seen that he is also cautious in this case, and does not want to make a half difference.

It's getting late, and the colt is walking alone on the humble mountain road. The rolling wheels of the carriage make the road sound old and old. The three soldiers took turns driving the carriage, and the others dozed in it.

Not far away, the driver stopped his carriage and said to Qin mubai, "general, you have arrived at Zhu Chengwen's grave. Do you want to get out of the car for a memorial ceremony now? "

"Not bad." Qin mubai's envoys had told him to pay a memorial ceremony when Cheng passed by. It's not that obvious at night. Moreover, Qin mubai also wanted to find someone to understand something. This is whether someone came to sweep Zhu's tomb after he was buried.

Leaving a man to watch the carriage, Qin mubai took a man to Zhu Chengwen's grave.

Zhu Chengwen went to the North alone as an official. After Qin mubai and others came, they buried him in the court's etiquette. I chose a good Fengshui cemetery and asked an old hunter who lived nearby to take care of it, so as not to be washed away by mountains and rivers or planed by wild animals. I usually sprinkle two pages of paper money at three or five o'clock. Weed the grave.

Qin mubai and the other three came to the old hunter's house and knocked on the door.

The old hunter was alone. He was sixty years old, but he was very strong. He lived alone in the mountain forest and hunted every day.

When he opened the door, the old hunter saw the man in front of him. He was puzzled and said, "three distinguished guests, where are you from?"

Qin mubai said with a smile: "old man, we are official family. I've been ordered to send you money and food, and I want to ask you something else. "

"Oh, it's the official master! Come in, please The old hunter knew what was the matter as soon as he heard it, and quickly welcomed Qin mubai and other three people in. Qin mubai asked his entourage to carry a bag of rice which had already been prepared, and sent dozens of copper coins, which was regarded as the "salary" for taking care of Zhu Chengwen's tomb.

"Thank you, thank you!" The old hunter took over the rice, bowed his hands, wiped the porcelain bowl with his sleeves, and poured tea for the three.

"Old people don't have to be busy. We'll just ask some questions and leave at once." Qin mubai said with a smile.

"It's so late at night. Why do you rest here for a night?" The old hunter suddenly showed a look of horror. He glanced out of the window in a panic and said in a low voice, "I'm not comfortable in the woods recently. You three dignitaries, you'd better make do in the old man's house for a night? How to say that many people have a care, not afraid to miss! "

"Missing?" Qin Mu Bai was a little surprised in his heart, and his brow was wrinkled. "Why did the old man say that?"

The old hunter put down his tea bowl and squatted carefully beside Qin mubai. He whispered: "recently, in the woods It's not clean

"Oh! No way Qin Mu Bai laughed, "can you still be haunted?"

"Why! ——”The old hunter was so scared that he sat down and said, "young man, don't talk in the middle of the night!"

"Good, good. I won't say. Don't be nervous, old man. Come and sit down. Take your time. " Qin mubai went up to him and lifted him up. He took a small horse and sat down for him. He comforted him and said, "maybe the old man doesn't know? We are royal leaders, imbued with the spirit of the emperor and bearing the power of God. No fear of evil. If you have any secret, just tell me

The two pawns behind Qin mubai almost burst out laughing: our general, you can make it up!

"Really?" The old man, however, seemed to have taken a reassuring pill and was not so flustered. He looked at Qin mubai and murmured, "so you are General Baiqi sent by the emperor? No wonder it's dignified

"Old man, tell my general what you have!" A pawn said, "my general has never been afraid of heaven and earth. People and ghosts are afraid of God and Buddha."

"Shut up Qin mubai did not have the good spirit to drink to reprimand a, turn head to old man smile way, "old man, have something but say no harm. Although you live alone in this mountain forest, you are also a people of the Tang Dynasty. Since you are in trouble, we have the responsibility to help you. "

"Good man The old man nodded gratefully, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a low voice

"In fact, since the old man died his wife 20 years ago, he has been living here alone and has no children. Half of the body into the Loess people, are not afraid of anything. But the other night, I went into the mountain to collect my hunting jacket. But on the way, he was scared and nearly fell ill

"That night, when I passed the county magistrate Zhu Chengwen's tomb with a rabbit on my back and an arrow, I had an extra look. I'm afraid some wild animal will dig his new grave. But it doesn't matter. I almost lost my spirits when I saw itThe old man's voice was low and tense, and the atmosphere at the scene became strange and dull. Qin mubai and the other three were all very brave after special training, but at this time, they couldn't help but have some hair standing up and numb on their backs.

"The old man. What do you see? " Qin mubai asked softly.

"I see it!..." The old man suddenly widened his eyes and looked out of the window nervously. After confirming that there was nothing strange outside, he whispered nervously: "a female ghost kneels in front of Zhu Chengwen's grave and cries."

"Female ghost?" Qin Mu twisted his eyebrows. "Why do you think she's a ghost?"

"Why, why not a ghost?" The old man was so nervous that he said in a hurry, "the old man has always been courageous. At that time, he didn't think it was a female ghost. He thought it was Zhu Chengwen's relative who came to worship him in the middle of the night. So he came forward to say hello and asked him if he wanted something like incense wax, paper money and so on. Unexpectedly, I called out "girl" when I came near. Whizz, you'll be gone. "

"Whizz?" Qin Mu Bai three people at the same time a Leng, "how a 'chi' method?"

"Just, just The ghost can fly The old man was so nervous that his hands were shaking, "right in front of my eyes, whizzing. It's gone. It's gone! I was so scared that I I almost wet my pants! "

The two pawns behind Qin mubai immediately looked at each other: "is it really a female ghost?"

"Bullshit Qin Mu Bai Shen drank, "what does the ghost cry for when she has nothing to do? It must be his family or good friend. Haven't you heard that there are so many strange people in the world, and it's not impossible for someone to have a unique light body Kung Fu. "

"That's true." Said a pawn. "Many of the swordsmen wandering in the world have lightness skills. The most famous is Shi Wanbao, the great Xia of Chang'an at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that he has the skill of flying over the eaves and walls. He is like an eagle, which is amazing. "

"Lightness skill?" The old man was stunned. He quickly waved his hand, "no, no, where is lightness skill? It's flying!"

"Well, old man, you don't have to be nervous. Now let's go to Zhu Chengwen's grave and have a look. We will know everything naturally. " Qin mubai patted him on the back. "Take a rest. You don't have to come."

"Then you must be careful!" The old man was enthusiastic, and then he sent out thousands of people to tell them, for fear that Qin mubai would have an accident with them.

Late autumn night, especially a bleak and decaying atmosphere. The autumn wind is blowing, and the withered leaves are flying in the forest. The strange sound of rustling is heard all the time. Although the forest is small, it is very dense, and there is little sunshine on weekdays. At night, it's cold and gloomy.

For ordinary people who have instinctive fear of the dark, it is frightening to walk in such a place in the middle of the night, let alone go to the grave. however. When Qin mubai trained Baiqi, he had special subjects to train courage. It's like crossing a snake pit barefoot, shooting arrows with a wooden tag on your head, and so on. So a hundred riders have more courage than most people. It's much bigger.

Rao is so, including Qin mubai, walking in such a gloomy place, I can't help feeling chilly in my heart. The only difference with ordinary people is that the more terrifying and tense they are, the more calm they are. Seeing six ways and listening to all directions, the vigilance is unprecedentedly raised.

Without saying a word, they took some incense and paper money to Zhu Chengwen's grave. Look around and listen. There's nothing unusual.

"General, nothing unusual. The ghost is not there Said the pawn.

"Are you still looking forward to seeing her?" Qin Mu Bai joked with a smile, "maybe our three men are too masculine, forcing her not to come out! Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. "

"Yes

The two pawns took out incense candles and other things to get busy. Taking advantage of this moment, Qin mubai walked around the grave and observed carefully. He found that there were some paper money burned ashes on the grave. The grave was extremely clean without any weeds, and the tombstone was also polished very bright. I don't know if it's the hunter old man who takes good care of it, or if someone often comes to the memorial ceremony.

At this time, Qin mubai found a trace of blood on the simple wooden tombstone. Next to the bloodstain, there was a trace of black silk, which was obviously accidentally scraped up.

"Jiangnan Lake silk?" Qin mubai picked up the silk and looked at it for a long time. He was surprised and said, "I've seen the most excellent and peculiar Lake silk in Li Ke's house. Generally speaking, it is popular in Jiangnan, and Li Ke also brought it from Anzhou. Is Is it people from Jiangnan who come to pay homage? That's probably Zhu's family

"All right, general." The pawn lit the candle and set up the tributes and so on to call Qin mubai.

Qin mubai thought a little. He amplified his voice and said, "the dead are the greatest. Although I don't know whether you are evil or treacherous, I'm here to pay homage to you for being a ghost in a foreign land. I hope you have a spirit in heaven and bless me to thoroughly investigate this case and find out the murderer behind it. Rest in peace

After that, Qin mubai was ready to bow down.

Just at this time, the three men stood up with one side of their head alert at the same time, and simultaneously grasped the handle of the knife.

"Who?!" The three yelled in unison, facing a certain direction in the dark.Because they all heard that there was a man, just like a ghost, coming this way!
