I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 360 Chapter 423 Chapter 424

Although Fan Li didn't believe in these strange powers and chaotic gods.But now that he saw it with his own eyes, his legs and feet couldn't help but feel a little weak.

This was something he had never encountered in his life. Seeing the headless man drifting away from his eyes, he was so frightened by this scene that he could not move at all.

"It's nothing more than...it's nothing more than some pretenders. I, Fan Li, am a real man, how can I be frightened by this!"

Fan Li calmed down quickly, and then thought about it carefully. The headless man obviously found him, but he didn't care about him.And he was still muttering to himself, saying that he wanted to kill Feng Duan, what is the meaning of this?
Fan Li tidied up his clothes for a while, then swaggered down the street and found a shelter to settle down.Just because what he is wearing now is actually the same as ordinary Zhengyi people.

When the sky gradually brightened, he came to the vegetable market again. Seeing that the vegetable market was extremely deserted, there were hardly any vendors.

Because under the terror rule of Fengduan and Shuniu, the whole Zhengyi seemed to have fallen into dead silence for a moment, and even the ordinary merchants dared not open their stalls easily.

What's more, in the notice issued not long ago, the various "cut, chop, chop" words made everyone shudder.Nowadays, officers and soldiers are often seen arresting people everywhere, so the people in Zhengyi dare not go out easily.

However, after talking with one of the older traders, Fan Li learned that the reason why Zheng Yi is now dead is that apart from the brutality of the government, there is another reason - the ghost of Bo You killed someone!

Who is this "Bo You"?
This person is the one mentioned before, Zheng Guo's former ruling minister, Liang Xiao.Just because he was extremely paranoid, more than twenty years ago, he had a dispute with Si Hei, who was only a senior official at that time, and finally got begged by the private soldiers led by Si Hei, and was finally killed in his own stable.

Speaking of this good night, it is logical that he has been dead for decades, how come he has become active again recently?
Just a few days ago, there have been rumors circulating throughout Zhengyi that his ghost often haunts the vegetable market and sheep shop.

What's more, some people have seen the headless Bo You openly appearing on the street with a big sword in his hand and wearing a bright helmet, and he spoke vividly and clearly.

Ghosts walking the streets in the middle of the night are scary enough.And a major event that happened the night before yesterday also raised the panic of the people to an unprecedented height.

That was Si Dai, the Patriarch of the Si Clan, who was one of the Six Ministers at that time, died of a sudden and bizarre death!
In the first few nights, rumors of "Bo You wanted to kill Sidai" had already spread in the streets and alleys, but no one took it seriously.

But who knows, within two days, the four belt died tragically at the gate of his own house, and there was a dagger stuck in his chest.Moreover, his face was full of fear, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was half-open, and blood was even oozing from his ears.

Speaking of this belt, it was originally Feng Duan's confidant, and the power in Zhengyi during this period can be said to be at its peak.

Unexpectedly, he would suffer such a brutal death. Although the common people could not sympathize with him, they were terrified when they thought that he was really killed by Bo You's ghost.

In this way, under Feng Duan's high-handed rule, now there is an inexplicable "ghost murder", and the people of Zhengyi feel even more horrified.Apart from trembling, naturally few people are willing to go out.

When Fan Li heard the news, he roughly understood why Si Zhuan suddenly chose to withdraw his troops?

It turned out that his father died suddenly and suddenly!Zhuan Si, being his son, heard the news and couldn't fight any more, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops and rushed back to the city.

But Si Dai, as the head of Si's family, suffered such a bizarre death, and their Si family would not give up.

Therefore, Si Zhuan expressed to Feng Duan that he hoped that Feng Duan could preside over the overall situation for them, solve the big case as soon as possible, and seek justice for their Si family.

However, after Fengduan ordered to search the whole city, he still found nothing.

After Feng Duan heard the news, he immediately summoned Shu Niu.

The death of Si Dai inevitably made Feng Duan also feel sad for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and the feeling of hurting others.

The most important thing is that Nabo's ghost still refuses to stop after killing Sidai.Now there are new rumors in the market, saying that Bo has the next one to kill, and that is Feng Duan!
Even if Feng Duan doesn't believe in these nonsense anymore, he can't help but feel fear in his heart.

Seeing Feng Duan pacing back and forth in the living room, Shu Niu was very anxious, so he said:

"Master Boshi! Sir, don't take these nonsense at all!"

"How could the old man not take it to heart, Si Dai, as the head of the Si clan, died tragically at the door of his own house, and the death was so horrific. The key point is, until today, there is no trace of clues!  … ...This ghost talk is certainly not true, but it must have been done by someone in the dark! Now that you are blatantly threatening to kill this old man, how can this old man sit still and wait for death!"

Afterwards, Shu Niu also thought for a while in his heart.

"Master Boshi, we have controlled the situation over the years and have made many enemies. It is actually quite normal if someone wants to target Mrs. Si and Mr. Boshi. The villain thinks that as long as the defense is stepped up, the adults should try to avoid going out these few days. After this period of time has passed smoothly, it will be fine!"

When Feng Duan heard this, he couldn't help but sneered.

"Since this person can play tricks like this, and easily kill one of the six lords, do you think the old man will be safe and sound if he only cares about living in seclusion? If the matter can be so simple, then what is the old man worried about?"

"This uncle has a ghost matter. If you don't solve it for a day, the old man will have no peace for a day! Shu Niu, now the Ji family is under your control. This big thing happened in Zhengyi, you can't do it." Doing nothing all day long!"

When Shu Niu heard the words, he immediately bowed deeply, and replied respectfully:

"Shu Niu knows that he has a great responsibility. However, the theory of ghosts has been circulated in the mouths of the people for a long time. Before, everyone thought that such absurd theory was not worth mentioning at all. Unexpectedly, it has really stabbed so much now. It’s a basket case, but if you want to block the mouths of all these people now, I’m afraid it’s too late..."

"Hey! The old man didn't ask you to cover up the ghost story! I want you to investigate what's going on! How did you die? And who is that person who pretends to be a ghost in the middle of the night? "

"Yes, yes, Shu Niu understands, and Shu Niu will go down to investigate..."

After Shu Niu left, Feng Duan carefully recalled the death of Bo You back then, and thought that Bo You himself died in a very strange and weird way, so he couldn't help thinking in his heart:
"Could it be... There are really ghosts in this world? No, no, no!... Someone must be pretending to be a ghost on purpose. The old man has gone through several dynasties, and Zheng Bo has changed several times. How can the old man be frightened by such weird things!..."

Therefore, Feng Duan immediately strengthened the defense around the mansion, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

After Fan Li learned about the situation at the sheep shop in the vegetable market, he came to the gate of the Si Mansion again. He saw that their gate was closed and the street was empty. The feeling of depression and desolation was chilling.

In this way, it is even more difficult for Fan Li to know the specific situation of Si's family.At this moment, Fan Lidun felt strange when he saw Si Zhuan coming out of the gate in hemp and filial piety, so he followed.

Zhuan Si arrived at Feng Duan's mansion, but because of his filial piety, it was inconvenient to visit, so he did not enter the gate, but asked the gate to report.

Not long after, Nafeng Duan did not come out, but sent someone to tell:

"Your father has just passed away. I don't care about withdrawing the army without authorization. In the future, another person will be sent to control the three armies. My lord can just go back and arrange the funeral!"

Zhuan Si said:
"The death of my late father is very strange, Zhuan hopes to discuss it with Lord Boshi again!"

"My lord has been feeling unwell recently, and it is inconvenient to see guests. After staying for a few days, I feel better, so I will visit you in person!"

Si Dai, as one of Zheng Guo's six ministers and the head of the Si clan, logically speaking, Feng Duan should have gone to offer his condolences anyway.

However, just because Feng Duan was afraid of another rumor at the moment, he didn't dare to go out easily, so he could only pretend to be sick.

Si Zhuan had no choice but to turn around again, and Fan Li followed him all the way back to Si Zhuan.Waiting and watching for a while, knowing that there is nothing famous here, and was about to leave, but suddenly saw a person who looked like another Zheng Guozhengqing appearing on the street very abruptly, and stepped forward to buckle it as if nothing had happened. Knock the door.

Chapter 424_ Bo You's Prophecy
Fan Li didn't know this person either, but he didn't know that what he saw now was the famous Zichan.

Zichan had already been grounded by Feng Duan, but now that Feng Duan couldn't take care of himself, Zichan asked to go to condolences.Feng Duan felt that it was fine, so he agreed.

After all, Zichan and Sidai were supposed to be passable on the bright side.

When Zichan and Feng Duandou were fighting fiercely, Sidai stepped forward to reconcile the two.Even this work of reconciliation was originally instructed by Feng Duan.

But now, all kinds of high-handed rule and various terrorist incidents are emerging in Zhengyi. As the former ruling minister, Zichan should have lived as reclusively as possible and protected himself wisely.

But he was not afraid, and came to express his condolences alone.

Zhuan Si went out to greet him, and when he saw Dr. Zichan coming in person, he felt flattered, so he immediately ordered someone to welcome Dr. Zichan into the mansion.

The gate of Si's mansion is the first place where Si Dai was found murdered.But now, the place has been cleaned several times by the servants, and there is no trace of the crime scene for a long time.

Fan Li knew that staying here was useless, so he followed the direction Li Ran told him before leaving, and went to find the restaurant first.

Not long after, Owl Yi rushed to hear the news, saw the token displayed by Fan Li, and took it to a darker room.

"Right now, Mr. Ziming's sympathizers are being searched for in the city, so we have to be careful! This little brother should be a new follower of Mr. Ziming, right?"

In fact, it was only three or two months since Xiaoyi rushed back to Zhengyi from Yeyi. When he left last time, he had never seen Fan Li, so there is a saying.

"My lord, Fan Li, has indeed been following Mr. for a while!"

The two exchanged their names, and Fan Li directly cut to the point.

"Sir, do you know what's going on with this uncle's ghost killing?"

Owlwing shook his head.

"I've seen that ghost twice before. The man's agility is truly astounding. It's really like a ghost, and it doesn't touch the ground, and it doesn't have a head. I can't think about it carefully. Solution, it's really weird!"

"Furthermore, Si Dai was not a man with no hands, and he shouldn't have been waiting to die so easily. However, he died so easily, and it was really sudden. Now everyone in Zhengyi In danger, it is said that Bo You's ghost came to take revenge and take his life! Although I feel that something is wrong, I don't know what went wrong!"

When Fan Li heard this, he also frowned slightly.

"Last night, Li also saw that headless man. He obviously had no head, but he seemed to be able to see things. It was indeed strange that Li had never seen in his life. However, Li thought that as long as he killed someone with his hands, there would definitely be clues. .Perhaps, there are some clues left on Si Dai's body!"

Owl Wing pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head.

"Ms. Si doesn't want to discuss more about Si Dai's death. The body is also parked in the mourning hall. If you want to know some clues, we can visit Si's house at night, and maybe we can get a glimpse of it!"

"It's just... is this too risky?"

Owlwing said:

"It doesn't matter! There is a funeral in the Si Mansion recently, and the Confucian who organized the funeral has a good relationship with me. We only need to pretend to be the servants who transported ice for him, and we can sneak into the Si Mansion! At that time, at night , and you can even use the excuse of exchanging ice for the corpse, and get close to the coffin you carried!"

Fan Li has always been wise and well-rounded, bold and careful, after hearing this, he also felt that this method is very good, it is worth a try!
So, the two of them immediately went to find the Confucian who organized the funeral for Sifu.The Confucian is also a person who understands righteousness, and is very close to Xiaoyi, so he naturally provided a cover for the two of them to enter the mansion.

It was night, the moonlight was not very bright, and under the mist, it was bright and dark.

On the mourning hall, two oil lamps are also swaying in the wind, creating a tense atmosphere.

Fan Li and Xiaoyi showed no fear, seeing only a few scattered servants on the mourning hall watching the night.Taking the opportunity of changing the ice for the body, the two of them sneaked to Si Dai's coffin, only to see Si Dai still lying inside with a distorted face.

Sidai's death situation is somewhat different from the legend, presumably the Si family has cleaned up after some time, but it can still be seen that it was horrifying at the beginning.

He was wearing a gorgeous Qingfu, Fan Li stretched out his hand and groped his chest, and felt the wound, so he untied his clothes again, but seeing the wound turned outward, it was very terrifying.

Fan Li still wanted to find the murder weapon again, but Owl Yi shook his head at him and said in a low voice:

"The murder weapon must have been disposed of by the Si family, and it won't be in the mourning hall!"

Seeing that Si Dai's body had already been disposed of, Fan Li was rather disappointed, and made a gesture, indicating that nothing was found, and that he would leave this place first.

So, the two withdrew quietly again, and when they got to the street, they didn't leave in a hurry, but went to the vegetable market again.

When they arrived at the vegetable market, they found that there were people moving around in the dark, so they immediately hid in the dark to observe, but found dozens of people scattered everywhere.

"They are also here to catch 'ghosts'!"

Bo You's ghost has been wandering around for a long time, and he didn't think of catching him before, but now that such a big incident has happened, he naturally wants to catch him!

Not long after, a gust of wind blew by, and the headless man reappeared in the night. The dozens of ambushing people rushed forward, trying to arrest him. Blood was still flowing from the severed head, flowing like black water in the darkness.

"Kill Feng Duan! Renyin Day! Feng Duan is dead!"

A miserable voice came from the body of the headless man, and it was unknown where it came from.

Fan Li and Xiaoyi, who watched this scene in the dark, felt shuddering.

Among those people, the timid one could no longer hold the weapon in his hand, and fell to the ground with a clang. The leader said loudly:
"My lord has an order! If you catch this person, there will be a lot of rewards!"

While talking, a few boldly tried to rush up, stabbing the headless man with spears, and the headless man rose up from the ground, dodging the spears, and then let out a shrill laugh, jumping up several feet at once.

Fan Li and Xiaoyi looked up, and saw the silhouette of a headless man clearly under the moonlight. This strange scene also shocked everyone present.

The headless man jumped down suddenly with such swiftness that he couldn't cover his ears, but instead of heading towards the crowd, he turned over and hid directly into the darkness.

Just because the height he jumped has already surpassed ordinary people.So much so that the people at the scene became even more convinced that what they saw was Bo You's ghost!So, they didn't care about anyone's scolding anymore, and they just broke up in a herd.

Fan Li and Xiaoyi were also stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses.

"It's... hard... Could there really be ghosts in this world?"

Owl Wing rushed to the position where the headless man flew up, lowered his head and searched for something on the ground, but found nothing in the end.

"Brother Fan, this matter will never be so simple! Mister has always said that there are no ghosts and gods in this world. Even though Owl Yi has never read a book, he has also been influenced by Mr. So, I absolutely don't believe the theory of ghosts. But according to Judging from the current situation, although this matter seems extremely strange, it seems to be beneficial to us. Why don't the two of us go back first, and then make a fuss about it!"

So Fan Li followed Xiaoyi back to the hiding place.
