Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 125 What do you want

Hu Qian was taken aback, but before he could speak, Qin Tianjian kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Hua Qingci is not dead yet, it's just that he doesn't show up often."

"Even if the wives of Huang Tingsong and Qin Tao were bewitched by the nightmare, it still cannot explain that Bai Shangshu committed suicide."

Hu Qian said: "In recent years, Bai Shangshu has stayed up all night and all night, and shut himself in the study. In order to prevent sleep, he even asked for strong tea and hot tea at night.

I was so sleepy that I couldn't stand it, so I went to the Sun's room to rest. "

"Why is this?"

"Because Mr. Bai himself also suffered from nightmares, he often wakes up in the night, and sometimes does some uncontrollable things.

If he was resting in the main wife's room, he would definitely be discovered.

But this Mrs. Sun is different. She has a cheerful personality and has no plans. Once she lies down, she will easily fall into a deep sleep. Even if there is movement in the room, she will not wake up.

So Mrs. Bai chooses to rest in her room, and the secret of the nightmare will not be discovered. "

The emperor asked: "Master Yu, is there such a thing?"

"Back to the emperor, there is indeed such a thing."

"Then what's the matter with Ye Shilang?"

"In recent years, Lord Bai has been suffering from nightmares. Although he tried his best to keep himself awake, ordinary people can't sleep, so he gradually couldn't bear it.

As for Mr. Ye, he should also be troubled by the nightmare. Although it is not as serious as Mr. Bai, he is also tortured.

Later, Master Bai found out about Master Ye, so he wanted to invite him to discuss.

It's just that Lord Bai committed suicide before Lord Ye came in, and Lord Ye's wife should have noticed this. "

The emperor asked: "Really?"

Ye Qiuhen's wife said: "Back to the emperor, your husband is indeed a bit weird.

That time when he came back from Liang Jing in a hurry, his complexion was very bad. My concubine even asked him why he came back so soon, and he presumed that he was not feeling well.

Later, the concubine heard him throwing things in a trance in the room, as if he hadn't slept for a long time. "

"Even so, why not say that Bai Shangshu was killed by the nightmare, but that he committed suicide?"

"Your Majesty, after Lord Bai's death, Yu and the others found something was wrong, so they pushed the door to look, but they couldn't push it, and finally they knocked open the door.

If it is a nightmare, there is absolutely no need to create such a secret room.

So the students guessed that Master Bai knew that he was about to lose control, so while he was still conscious, he blocked the door to prevent him from going out and harming his family, and then committed suicide with a sword. "

"What about the man in black?"

"I have to ask Mr. Peng of Jinyiwei about this."

"Peng Zishui, what's going on!"

"Your Majesty, I did send someone to monitor Bai Shangshu, but it was because of his strange behavior, and he was only investigating nearby. I don't know what happened to the man in black!"

"Maori Chuan, what about you?"

"Your majesty, I don't even know."

"Okay, you don't know the man in black, and you don't know the truth of the case. You just used a trapped Ye Shilang to fool me, and almost killed me!"

"Your Majesty, my humble minister will die..."

"Come here! Drag it out and chop it up!"

Mao Lichuan shouted: "Your Majesty, what Hu Qian said is just his one-sided statement. Has he produced any evidence so far?"

Hu Qian said: "Anyone who is trapped in a nightmare will have the same changes as Huang Tingsong's body, the emperor only needs to have the coffin opened for an autopsy, and everything will be known.

Oh, by the way, including Mr. Ye. "

Everyone in the hall was startled and subconsciously moved back a few steps.

The emperor also changed his expression in fright, "Come here, burn Ye Shilang's body, and scatter the ashes into the moat."

Master Ye's wife wanted to speak, but she swallowed it back.

"Go and examine Bai Shangshu's body immediately!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the person who had gone to examine the corpse came back.

Although everyone knelt down and their legs were numb, but at this moment they all pricked up their ears.

Both Mao Lichuan and Ruan Conghai behind them also held their breath.

"Your Majesty, Lord Bai's body is indeed different. As Hu Qian said, there is a big hole in the back, and something seems to have crawled out."

The emperor said: "Is that really the case..."

Mao Lichuan and the two slumped on the ground, while Ruan Conghai let out a long breath.

"Come here, push these two people out and behead them! The corpses were burned, and the ashes were thrown into the moat!"

Mao Lichuan said: "Your Majesty, I have devoted myself all these years, and I have worked hard even if I have no credit. Please forgive me..."

"Push out!"

Someone immediately dragged the two of them out.

"Qin Tianjian is in charge!"

"Chen is here!"

"Hurry up and ask the chief minister to enter the palace to discuss how to deal with the nightmare."

"The minister obeys the order."

"Ruan Conghai!"

"Chen is here!"

"You have made meritorious service in handling the case this time, and you will be promoted to a fellow commander."

Ruan Conghai was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Hu Qian!"

"The students are here."

"You have repeatedly solved strange cases, and the prefect of Jinling has also asked for credit for you many times.

Tell me, what do you want, as long as you ask, I will definitely agree to you. "

When everyone in the hall heard it, they were immediately envious.

Such an opportunity, even in a dream, would not dare to expect it.

Everyone looked at him curiously.

What would you want?

Become an official and become a noble?Or golden ten thousand taels?Or is it to ask the princess to be a son-in-law?

Hu Qian said: "The student does have one thing to ask the emperor..."

※※※

Ruan Conghai, who has been promoted from the fourth-rank emissary to the third-rank commander, couldn't hide the joy on his face.

They returned to Beizhen Fusi, and the two Jinyi guards who had been scared off by Hu Qian immediately came to complain, but Ruan Conghai took them directly and put them in prison.

The two picked up Shen Lian in person, and when they talked about the previous incident, they couldn't help but sigh.

Ruan Conghai said: "Shen Lian contributed a lot to this case, it is not an exaggeration to have a hundred households."

Shen Lian said happily: "Thank you sir! Thank you brother-in-law."

Ruan Conghai patted his chest, "If you had said that you were Hu Qian's brother-in-law, you would have been a hundred."

The three of them laughed loudly, called Zuo Qianhu and Yang Qianhu, went out to find a restaurant, and ordered a table with a lot of fish and meat.

While eating, a reminder suddenly appeared in Hu Qian's mind.

【Does Master Bai also have organs in his study】

He was taken aback for a moment, then broke out in a cold sweat.

Generally speaking, after the case is over, there will be no further reminders.

Now that a prompt appears, it means...

The case is not over yet...

Is the previous inference wrong?

He couldn't take it anymore, he just said he was going to look for Bai Yufeng, and then hurried to Baifu.

Because Master Bai's body was removed and burned to ashes, Bai Yufeng and Yu Shizheng invited a monk to perform a supernatural salvation for him.

Seeing Hu Qian's arrival, Yu Shi, Sun Shi and others all had a bad face.

Bai Yufeng said: "Brother Jinggong, don't be offended, this matter is not your fault."

Hu Qian said: "Thank you, I want to go and visit Lord Bai's study again."

Bai Yufeng asked strangely: "Didn't you already find out? Why are you going?"

Hu Qian said: "I can't explain a sentence or two, just take me there."

Seeing that he was serious, Bai Yufeng nodded and took him to the study.

Hu Qian inspected it carefully, and found a sunken brick behind the bookshelf—the same as the one in Sun's house.

Bai Yufeng was also surprised, and when he was about to ask, Hu Qian motioned him to close the doors and windows.

Then, as Hu Qian pulled the brick, the wall behind the bookshelf opened like a door, revealing a dark passage.
