"Lord, madam, go slowly, and come back next time."
Seeing the figures of the three of them gradually moving away from the street in the afterglow of the sunset, the shopkeeper of the bookstore couldn't help but smile from the corner of his mouth, "Handsome men and beautiful women, plus a white and chubby doll, it looks really pleasing to the eye." ” It's just that A trace of doubt floated in his heart: why was there a little distance between this Yan girl and Master Cheng, and it looked a little rusty, so it affected the perfect artistic conception he sketched a little.
But after thinking about it, he shook his head again: Yes, now there are people coming and going in the market, and the two are newly married, so they may not want to be too intimate, and they will be teased by some mouthfuls.
Yes, it must be so.
Thinking of this, the shopkeeper reluctantly glanced at the three backs, and then walked into the bookstore by himself.
"Such a precious military book, but no one cares about it, but the good ones are all poetry and songs."
Cheng Muyou looked at the stack of worn-out military books in his hand, shook his head and sighed.
"Emphasis on culture and education, light on martial arts, so it is difficult to come out of famous generals, and it is always impossible to take advantage of the war with the Liao."
Yan Niang then replied.
"So Madame bought these books just to let Xun'er be exposed to them and not to focus on literature and light on martial arts?"
"Hearing and seeing, this kid can always learn something, my lord, don't the unofficial people also think that Xun'er is too soft, and hope that he will be stronger?"
Hearing her call herself like this, Cheng Muyou's heart was hot, so he clasped his fists and saluted, "Madame is thoughtful, I will be relieved to hand over Xun'er to Madame for upbringing." ” Yan Niang smiled at him, "Husbands and children are what I should do, and the officials are too polite." ” The three of them talked and laughed and walked towards Xin'an Mansion, the distance seemed to be a lot shorter, and before the sunset had completely set, they had already arrived outside Xin'an Mansion.
As soon as he stepped up the steps, he saw Jiang Xixi and Shi Fei Shi Jin hurriedly walking out of it, several people were wearing official uniforms and swords around their waists, obviously going to perform official duties.
"Is there a case?"
Cheng Muyou stepped forward to stop them.
Seeing Cheng Muyou, several people were busy clasping their fists and saluting, and Yan Niang saw that they had a case to discuss, so she took the first step and took Xun'er back to the house.
Seeing the two of them walk into the gate, Jiang Xixi said, "My lord, someone just came to report the case, saying that a large number of corpses and bones were found in the Lingxian Temple outside the city, so his subordinates were in a hurry to rush over with Shi Fei Shi Jin." ” Cheng Muyou frowned, "Lingxian Temple?
How come I have never heard of this temple?
” "This temple is very small, a total of several wings enclosed into a courtyard, and my subordinates have heard of it for the first time today."
Cheng Muyou nodded, and then asked, "Who came to report the case?"
” "A villager who lives nearby, he went up the mountain to chop wood today, and when he passed by the small temple, he heard a cry of 'woo' inside, so he went into the courtyard to check, but he didn't think about it, but he saw the corpses of three monks in the Changzhu Temple, in addition to these three corpses, there are also a large number of bones buried under the vegetable field."
Cheng Muyou was stunned, "A small temple, there are so many lives?"
And who is the one who weeps?
” Jiang Xixi continued, "It's a strange woman, but she was bound by hemp rope, and the villagers were stupid, and they didn't dare to untie her, so they only dared to wait for the people from the government to arrive before deciding." ” Because it had just snowed yesterday, the road was difficult to travel, so Cheng Muyou and his party walked for another hour after leaving the city to arrive at Lingxian Temple.
As Jiang Xixi said, this small temple is just a small courtyard surrounded by several wings, and the middle wing room enshrines a Buddha statue stained with dust and cobwebs.
Jiang Xixi helped Zhang Jinmei untie her, changed her clothes again, asked her to take a bowl of hot tea, and patiently waited for her mood to calm down, and then brought Zhang Jinmei to Cheng Muyou's side.
"I heard from the person who reported the case that you saw three monks being killed with your own eyes, is this true?"
Cheng Muyou looked at Zhang Jinmei, who was trembling, and asked softly.
Zhang Jinmei wiped away her tears, and her voice suddenly raised a few points, "I watched them die with my own eyes, but my lord, something is wrong, it's very evil." ” "Evil Sect?"
"The little woman left home alone yesterday, suddenly encountered a snowstorm, and was rescued into this temple by those monks, who knew that this was not a temple for worshipping God and Buddha at all, but a nest of prostitution, and the little woman was ruined by these three beasts in turn."
Speaking of this, she sobbed again, and Jiang Xixi, who was standing on the side, was distressed, and hurriedly held her cold hand and covered her trembling body.
Zhang Jinmei then continued, "Later, the three monks had a dispute over something, and the old monk was killed by the other two and thrown into the pit. ” "And how did the other two monks die?"
Cheng Muyou frowned and asked.
Hearing this, Zhang Jinmei suddenly gasped, her hands unconsciously tightened tightly, her eyes looked directly at the moonlight in the courtyard, and said slowly, "They were killed by the other party."
"Did they quarrel with each other?"
Zhang Jinmei bit her lower lip and bit out a blood mark on it, "On the surface, one of them was holding a knife and the other was holding a shovel, and both of them were hit by the other party and died of blood loss." ” Cheng Muyou couldn't understand it even more, "What is it on the surface?"
What do you mean by that?
” Zhang Jinmei suddenly locked her gaze on Cheng Muyou's face, and said hurriedly, "My lord, those two young monks were fine, and they discussed sending me back to the house, and they looked as usual.
But suddenly, a gust of wind rushed down from the wall, and when the wind passed, the little woman saw that there was something more on the wall."
"What is it?"
Zhang Jinmei glanced at the soft wings on Cheng Muyou's official hat, and quickly lowered her head and muttered, "It's a head, a head with an official hat."
The hat is very similar to the adult's hat, with soft wings and black yarn, just like the appearance of the county commander. ” "How is that possible?"
Jiang Xixi interjected, "I just went to the backyard, the wall is quite high, how can it be more than ten feet, how can someone look so tall, or is he lying on the wall all the time?"
” Zhang Jinmei swallowed hard, "Lord Jiang, of course people can't be so tall, but ghosts are not necessarily."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xixi and Cheng Muyou glanced at each other, and Cheng Muyou looked at Zhang Jinmei and said in a solemn voice, "Ghost?

Why are you so sure he's a ghost?
” Zhang Jinmei's tears fell, she sobbed a few times, and finally said the sentence that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time: "My lord, that person's face is clearly a skeleton, a bright and white skeleton." ”
