Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 274 Let's go to your house
Since there was no other way, Hu Qian had no choice but to do so.

But instead of waiting until after the playbook is sent up to find out about the haunting, it is better to come out now, so as to find a reason for this matter.

So Hu Qian went to Princess Zhiying and said: "I can agree to the princess, but please go back now, otherwise the minister will not be able to act."

Zhiying looked at Hu Qian quietly, "Okay, since you said it, I naturally believe it, I will go back first, and when the matter is over, I will come back to thank you."

In order not to make Emperor Guangde suspect, Hu Qian asked Baihe to send the princess back to Beijing.

In this way, even if Jin Yiwei went to investigate, it would be difficult to find out that the princess had been to Hu Qian's place.

Because from the time when the princess leaves the palace to when the princess returns, there is too little time to keep up.

"Where did Wu Dayou get demoted?"

Xu Fengnian said: "The Xipinghe Lu Mansion passed the judgment.

But this person is the queen's nephew, if my lord does something to him, will he..."

Hu Qian said with a smile: "This person framed his colleagues and caused him to die unjustly in prison, it is already light to frighten him.

Besides, since you decided to help the princess, you have already offended the emperor, are you afraid of offending another queen? "

Kong Xueli said: "It seems that just being a friendly Wu Dayou is not enough."

"Check it out, who was involved in this matter at that time, let Dou Ziping visit each of them in the name of Lian Hua."

Kong Xueli shook her head, "Just intimidation cannot make the emperor release people, and more deterrent means are needed."

Hu Qian said: "Check first and then talk."

That night, Hu Qian asked Dou Ziping to first visit Governor Mu Shenrui, Governor Chao Zhen, Chief Envoy Sun Zhengzong, and Anhu Mansion Lin Dayue.

Then let Baitou sneak into these houses with ordinary mice, and listen to what they said afterwards.

Sure enough, when Hu Qian went to the inspector's yamen the next day, he immediately heard many officials whispering.

"Have you heard that even the adults came back to claim their lives!"

"I've heard that too. I heard that Mr. Lin was so frightened that he passed out, and he still hasn't woken up yet!"

"Master Lian turned into a ghost? What does he look like?"

"More than ten feet tall, with blood all over his face, and only his upper body, flying around the bedside."

After hearing this, all the officials in the government office turned pale with astonishment.

"Okay, how could such a thing happen?"

"I heard from the servant of the magistrate's family that the ghost of Lord Lian said that because he didn't know who wronged him, he was a dead ghost and couldn't be reincarnated, so he came back to ask the person who killed him to ask for his life."

"There is such a thing?"

"If Master Lin himself said that, it can be said that he was wrong.

But now not only Lord Lin, Lord Chao, Lord Mu, and Lord Sun have heard the news.

Could it still be fake? "

"But shouldn't Mr. Lian go to find that one?"

"Who knows?
Back then, there were too many strange things about the death of an adult, and no one could tell what was going on.
Since his ghost came to look for these few, maybe..."

Just as they were talking, seeing Hu Qian walking in, everyone immediately quieted down, and no one dared to say another word.

Another day later, many officials of the Judiciary were also panic-stricken, and some even asked for leave because of this.

Hu Qian asked the reason, and they all said that the ghost of Master Lian came to claim his life, and emerged from under Liangtou's bed at night, with only half of his bloody body flying around, scaring everyone out of their wits.

Hu Qian said: "Even if this is the case, you have to work normally. Otherwise, who will handle the official business, should the emperor handle it?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one knew why Hu Qian said that.

Lin Chaotong said: "Your Excellency has the means to communicate with the gods, it seems that this matter has to be resolved by your Excellency."

Hu Qian shook his head and said: "I want to take care of it, but Mr. Lian is only here to ask for the life of the person who killed him, and he is not an evil spirit that endangers one side. How can I take action?
What's more, his whereabouts are erratic, and I can't predict the enemy first, so it is really difficult to find him.

Take a step back and say that if you really kill him, he will never be reborn forever.

Do you really want this?

How should the official explain to the British public? "

Lin Chaotong and others were silent, so they had to retreat to work.

Another day passed, and instead of improving the situation in Anhu Mansion, it got even worse.

Almost all the officials said that they saw Lord Lian's ghost, and some people invited mages and Taoist priests because of this, but it didn't work at all.

The inspectors were really unbearable. Although they wanted to ask Hu Qian to help, they didn't dare to speak because of Hu Qian's attitude.

Just when there was nothing to do, Mu Shenrui, Governor of Liangping, came suddenly.

When he saw Hu Qian, he bowed deeply, but his body staggered and fell directly to the ground.

Hu Qian hurried forward to help him up, "Master Governor, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Shenrui said: "Lord Hu, help!

Even the ghost of an adult comes to my house every now and then to claim his life, I really can't stand it.

To tell you the truth, Mr. Hu, I haven't slept well for four or five days.

If this continues, even if I am not scared to death, I will definitely die from physical and mental exhaustion. "

Hu Qian said, "What does your lord need me to do?"

Before Mu Shenrui could speak, Chao Zhen and Sun Zhengzong came to Hu Qian's place as if they had made an appointment.

Hu Qian smiled and said, "What kind of wind is this that brings all the adults here today?"

Chao Zhen and Sun Zhengzong also had dark circles under their eyes, and said powerlessly: "Master Hu, hurry up and take action, as long as you can catch the evil spirits, we will eliminate harm for Dongping!"

Hu Qian said: "What the hell are you talking about? Why didn't I see it?"

"My lord, you have great powers. I heard that the evil spirit in the human skin coffin was pressed to the ground like an ant by you. If you wanted him to go east, he would never dare to go west.

Even though the Lord's ghost is powerful, it's probably not as good as the evil ghost in the human skin coffin. If the Lord makes a move, he will surely catch it. "

Hu Qian shook his head solemnly, "My lords are really overestimating.

The evil spirit in the human skin coffin was there, I caught it when I arrived, but now the ghost's whereabouts are erratic, and I don't have the ability to predict, how to catch it. "

Mu Shenrui said: "Then...then we will move to the adult's house for a few days. I heard that the adult bought Li's house. There are many rooms in that house, which is enough for us to live in."

Chao Zhen nodded again and again, "That's right! Master Hu, don't worry! We will definitely not live in vain, and we will definitely give you the rent. Please, Master Hu, don't refuse."

Hu Qian said: "There are many female relatives in my family, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

Sun Zhengzong said: "Your Excellency can move your family to the backyard. We can live in the front yard or the porter, as long as we are with you."

Hu Qian said: "In this case, one or two days is fine, but it is not a long-term solution after all."

Mu Shenrui said: "What can Mr. Hu do?"

Hu Qian said: "I heard that Lord Lian came back to ask for his life. If that's the case, why don't you go find the murderer, instead pester many of us officials?"

Mu Shenrui said: "Why don't I want to know?

I don't think I have anything to do with Master Lian's death, so I don't know why it haunts me. "

Sun Zhengzong said: "Although I am the chief envoy of Dongping, I was transferred here after Lord Lian's accident, so I don't know what's going on behind the scenes!

If possible, I really want to talk to Lord Lian, but...

His face is too frightening, I really..."

Chao Zhen also said: "Master Sun said exactly what I wanted to say.

At the beginning, Master Lian and Master Wu competed for the position of governor of Dongping, and Master Lian died in prison, and Master Wu was demoted. After that, I became the governor. "

The three of them talked more and more vigorously, and finally they all looked at Hu Qian and begged Hu Qian to take him in.

Hu Qian was amused in his heart, and said with a serious face: "If it is not impossible to deal with this matter, I can burn incense and pray, and let Sir Lian come to talk to me and see what he wants to do.

However, it may be just a talk, if he is really eliminated, so that he will never be reborn, I really have no way to explain it when the British Duke asks about it in the future. "

Mu Shenrui quickly nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk to him first, and tell him that there is a wrong and a debt..."

Hu Qian said: "Okay, I'll do it by the lake tonight, and you all have to be present at that time, otherwise if he is attracted by you, this matter will not be done."

Mu Shenrui and the others dared not agree, and they agreed on a time before going.

At night, when Hu Qian arrived at the lake, he found that the place was surrounded by crowds.

The outer circle is the common people, and the inner circle is a group of soldiers. When they reach the lake, it is Mu Shenrui and others.

A high platform was set up by the water, on which there were incense tables and temporary rankings.

Letter:

Dongping took the position of inspector Lian Hua.

Seeing that he was blocked, Hu Jiu immediately shouted loudly: "Master Hu Qian, the inspector, has arrived! Please make way quickly!"

As soon as the crowd heard it, they immediately retreated automatically.

Hu Qian walked quickly to Mu Shenrui and the others, and after seeing the ceremony, he asked strangely, "Why are there so many people here?"

Mu Shenrui said: "I don't know where the news leaked out. These common people heard that Mr. Hu is here to conjure souls, so they all came to watch curiously."

Hu Qian thought to himself, of course you don't know, I was the one who released the news.

Since it is going to cause a sensation, the more people who know about it, the better.

The high platform was about two feet high, and the side was fixed with wooden stakes, and a simple ladder was built, but when the lake water rushed, the ladder shook slightly.

Seeing this, Mu Shenrui frowned and said, "Why is this ladder built so weakly, fast nail it firmly."

Hu Qian said, "No need."

As he spoke, he jumped and stood directly on the high platform.

When the people below saw it, they immediately showed surprise on their faces, and then they all praised again.

Hu Qian pretended to read a few words first, and then sat quietly on the stage.

Since it is a practice, it naturally requires a process.

If "Lian Hua" was recruited with a wave of hands, it would be suspicious.

Seeing Hu Qian sat down on the stage, the crowd fell silent.

It's just that Zhao Siliang was a little strange. It didn't need to be so complicated when dealing with that human-skinned evil spirit before!

At that time, it only took a few slashes with the sword, and the evil spirit was dying.

Could it be that even the ghost of an adult is more powerful than that evil ghost?
About half an hour later, Hu Qian stood up slowly, suddenly pulled out the Longyuan sword in his sleeve, swung it violently, and the water immediately burst open.

"Lian Hua! Come out quickly!"

Everyone below held their breath and looked at the stage without blinking.

After a while, thick blood mist suddenly rose from the lake.

"coming!"

Mu Shenrui and the others backed away in fright.

The people in the distance also took a step back subconsciously.

Hu Qian secretly instructed Dou Ziping: "Make the movement bigger."

The blood mist immediately swelled up, and it was as high as a hill in a moment.

Then, the originally calm water surface suddenly rolled up a stormy sea, and those who were close were wet by the waves.

Among the huge waves, only the high platform remained motionless - all the waves avoided here.

In the blood mist, ghosts kept screaming, and countless skulls flew in and out. Some timid people were so frightened that they cried for their father and mother, and ran away as if dying.

Although Mu Shenrui and the others also wanted to escape, but seeing Hu Qian standing there calmly, even if they escaped, where could they escape.

So even though I was terrified to death, I could only bite the bullet and stand where I was.

Hu Qian shouted loudly at this time: "Lian Hua! You are a ghost of the underworld! How dare you act presumptuously in front of me!"

The blood mist immediately dwarfed, shrinking to the same height as the high platform in a short while, and a vague figure slowly emerged from the blood mist.

That thing has only half of its body, and its bloody face is very frightening.

When Mu Shenrui and the others saw it, they immediately took a few steps back and supported each other so they didn't fall to the ground.

Hu Qian said: "Lian Hua! Do you recognize me!"

"Master Hu's prestige is like thunder in the underworld."

"Since that's the case, let me ask you why you didn't reincarnate, but made trouble here instead!"

"My lord, I was killed by someone and cannot be reincarnated. I must kill the person who killed me before I can be reincarnated."

"Although I don't want you to harm others, I also don't want you to be immortal.

However, as the saying goes, there is a grievance and a debtor. Master Mu and the others have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you want to kill them! "

When Mu Shenrui and the others heard this, their nerves tensed up immediately.

"They don't want to save them, and they don't work for the people, so I torture them.

Now that my lord said so, I will spare them!

But if I don't do good deeds, even if I don't look for them, there will naturally be other evil spirits looking for them! "

Mu Shenrui and the others were so frightened that their spines shivered, and they quickly bowed down to Lian Hua.

"My lord, if this is the case, then I will go to the person who killed me and claim my life! Farewell!"

After speaking, he hid in the blood mist and disappeared without a trace.

The lake returned to calm, but Mu Shenrui and the people on the shore couldn't calm down for a long time.

They may not believe in ghosts and gods before, but from this moment on, each of them vowed to do more good deeds.

Hu Qian put away the Longyuan sword, jumped down from the high platform, and said to Mu Shenrui: "My lords can rest assured now."

Mu Shenrui and the others didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and were speechless for a while.

Hu Qian said again: "Who killed Mr. Lian Hua, I believe we will find out soon."

Chao Zhen said, "What does Lord Hu mean?"

Hu Qian pointed to the place where the blood mist disappeared, "Didn't Lian Hua just say that he was going to find the person who killed him, so I guess someone will die tonight."

What he said was just casually. Anyway, Mu Shenrui and the others are not easy to find out.

Unexpectedly, the next day, news came from the magistrate's yamen, saying that Lin Dayue, the prefect, had died at home...
