Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 185 Lost Soul
Hu Qian curiously took it out to read, and saw that it was Du Jianzhi's letter.

Although he reported his safety everywhere, the lines between the lines were full of depression, as if there was some depression.

Fortunately, Guo Yu was working in the Imperial Academy in the capital, and the two could still see each other from time to time, but they said there was one thing, so they had to ask Hu Qian for help, so that Hu Qian could take time to visit.

Hu Qian smiled, smelled the letter paper, and sure enough it smelled like alcohol.

It seems that Du Jianzhi wrote the letter while drinking, and finally forgot to write his name.

But on the one hand, it seemed that there was no urgent matter on his side, and on the other hand, Hu Qian really couldn't leave, so he had to give up.

After talking for a while, all the people went back to rest and prepared to leave tomorrow morning.

Hu Qian was washed by Xiaohuan and Shen Yuzhen, and then lay on the bed with Shen Yuzhen.

Shen Yuzhen immediately rested her head on his chest, and asked, "Sir, is there really no clue about Governor Ma?"

Hu Qian caressed her back, "Don't worry, there will be results soon."

"Daddy said that the emperor has a deadline of half a year for you to solve the case, so..."

"It won't take that long, when did Xianggong disappoint you?"

Shen Yuzhen said: "The concubine also knows about my husband's abilities, but I can't help but worry."

Hu Qian said: "During my absence, you have suffered."

Shen Yuzhen's eyes got wet, and she held it back, and said softly: "What hardships can I have, but my husband...

If I had known that Guobei County was such a dangerous place, I wouldn't let Xianggong go there no matter what I said. "

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"When I leave tomorrow morning, should I bring Axiu and others to kowtow to my parents, after all, we are a family, so I won't lose my manners."

"It's still your thoughtfulness."

After speaking, he hugged her tightly in his arms.

While stroking, she suddenly said, "I have to hurry tomorrow, so I don't want it."

Hu Qian kissed her and said, "Then go to bed early."

After waiting for a while, when he was feeling sleepy, he suddenly found Shen Yuzhen looking at him tenderly.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

"The body of the concubine is like a dream. I am afraid that if I fall asleep, my husband will not be here."

Hu Qian's heart was full of guilt, he hugged her tightly in his arms, and kissed her affectionately...

At dawn, Hu Jiu and the other two servants of the Hu family, Dazhu and Erzhu, got into the carriage together.

After Hu Qian took Shen Yuzhen and others to worship Hu Butong and Zhao, the three carts left the city and headed for Guobei County.

Nothing happened all the way, just entered the city gate, suddenly heard a noise.

I saw two servant-like people sitting on the ground holding a corpse and crying.

Passers-by stopped to watch, and gradually blocked the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city were yelling loudly to disperse the crowd.

Hu Qian came to him and asked, "What happened!"

The soldiers guarding the city had seen Hu Qian, and immediately bowed and said, "My lord, a scholar who was on his way died suddenly in the doorway."

Hu Qian nodded, stepped forward and shouted: "I am Hu Qian, the magistrate of this county!"

The crowd who had lowered their heads to watch immediately stopped, seeing that it was indeed Hu Qian, and immediately bowed to salute.

Hu Qian looked at the dead scholar, was taken aback for a moment, and then said loudly: "This man just lost his soul, he is not dead yet, move him here, don't block the way."

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened in shock.

I have long heard that Hu Qian is unpredictable, but most people have never seen it.

The two servants immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "I beg the master to save my young master."

Hu Qian said: "If you don't move it over, you won't be able to save your life."

The two immediately carried the scholar out of the doorway and put him on a bluestone slab by the side of the street.

Hu Qian waved to Hu Jiu and said, "Go back first."

Hu Jiu nodded immediately, and drove into the city with Dazhu and Erzhu.

At this time, the crowd moved to the street, waiting to see how Hu Qian summoned his soul.

Hu Qian looked at the two servants and said: "First tell me the ins and outs of the matter."

One of the servants said: "Master Mingjian, my young master's name is Pei Gong, he is from this county, he left home two months ago to take part in the provincial examination in Liang Jing, and he just came back today.

Because the young master missed his parents and wanted to rush back for the holiday reunion, he walked very fast all the way.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the stone bridge in the east of the city, the young master started talking to himself.

We thought the young master was in a hurry, so we didn't take it seriously.

But just before reaching the city gate, the young master suddenly yelled 'I'm back', and then fell to the ground in exasperation. "

Hu Qian nodded, and asked again: "What did he say when he was talking to himself?"

"Young Master seemed to have met someone at that time, the first sentence he said was 'I am going home to reunite with my family.'

Then he said, 'I am from Guobei County'.

In the end, he said 'you follow, I will go first'. "

Everyone had never experienced such a thing. Hearing this, they couldn't help but get nervous. They all thought that Pei Gong had seen a ghost.

Hu Qian said: "In this way, the soul of your young master should be at home now."

The two servants looked at each other with expressions of disbelief.

"Master, please help!"

Hu Qian said: "Behind your son's back, let's go home first."

Not daring to delay, the two immediately carried Pei Gong on their backs and headed home.

Although everyone was a little scared, this kind of thing can happen several times in a lifetime, and they want to see if the magistrate who has been passed on like a god has such a skill.

So a group of people arrived at the door of Pei Gong's house in a mighty way.

"Master, the son is back, open the door!"

After waiting for a while, an old servant opened the door. After learning what had happened, he hurried back to call for someone in a panic.

Not long after, all the Pei family members arrived.

Hearing that Pei Gong lost his soul and died, he immediately started crying, and also heard that Hu Qian, the county magistrate, could summon the soul, so they knelt on the ground and begged Hu Qian to cast a spell quickly.

Hu Qian didn't say much, walked around the house twice, returned to the door again, and shouted: "I haven't returned to my body yet!"

Everyone's eyes widened immediately, and within a moment, Pei Gong, who was already dead, moved suddenly, and then sat up directly.

"This! It's really alive!"

"The old man really knows how to summon souls!"

"Master Zhixian is invincible!"

"God descends to earth!"

Seeing Pei Gong revived, the happiest ones are naturally the Pei family.

"Thank you for saving my life, my lord."

Hu Qian said: "Get up, it's just a trivial matter."

After speaking, he looked at Pei Gong and said, "It's you, how did you lose your soul?"

Pei Gong had regained his composure at this time, calmed down and said: "My lord, because the students were worried that they would not be able to enter the city before dark, they have been hurrying on their way.

When passing the stone bridge, I saw a young man in white riding a horse with an eagle coming from behind, and asked me if I was going home for the holiday.

The student replied that he wanted to go home and reunite with his family.

Then the young master asked me where I was from. The student said I was from Guobei County. He said he happened to be on the way, so he lent me the extra horse and asked me to go back to Guobei first.

So the student talked to the two servants, and then he rode back home quickly, but when he got home, his parents and elder brother seemed to be unable to see me.

When I was on the street, no one else could see me.

I knew something was wrong, but there was nothing I could do, so I could only hang around in the house. "

Hu Qian nodded, "The young man in white can say who he is?"

Pei Gong thought for a while and said: "It seems to be the seventh son of the king of Kunchi."

Hu Qian asked puzzledly: "The king of Kunchi... the seventh son? It seems that he has never heard of the king of Kunchi."

At this time, Pei Gong's father said: "There is a Kunchi Lake in Wanshi Mountain in Guobei County, could it be there..."
