Chapter 399 Encountering a "Ghost"

Seeing him go, Mu Liuyun didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or hold her breath. She turned around in the small courtyard, walked around twice, then sat down under the corridor, looked up at the sky, black The shadow of the moon could not be seen in the dark sky, but it was quite clear, with some stars falling on the black night.

Mu Liuyun made some calculations, the [-]th day has already passed, and tonight should be when the moon is in the sky, and that will be after Zishi. Seeing that there are still a few hours, it is really embarrassing, and it is not right to rest early , it’s pointless to waste...

The principal culprit was pondering, the door of the room where Yuan Mu lived behind opened with a creak, and Mu Liuyun was in a trance with his chin resting on his hands, but he didn't notice it until a small stone hit the room with neither light nor heavy force. On her waist, she just came back to her senses, got up and turned around, and saw Yuan Mu standing in the door, hooking her hand.

Mu Liuyun glanced around, walked over quickly, entered the room and closed the door again.

"What's the matter?" After closing the door, she lowered her voice and asked Yuan Mu, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Mu shook his head: "It's okay, it's still cold outside at night, the Liao family just left a pot of fragrant tea for you to come and drink together, to warm your body, lest you freeze."

While talking, he took Mu Liuyun's hand, and found that her fingertips were cold, so he simply clenched it a little more: "Even if you don't refresh your mind, it's good to warm your hands for you."

Although Mu Liuyun's hands were cold, his heart felt like soaking in warm water. He nodded, followed Yuan Mu to sit down at the table, and took the cup of hot tea he handed over. After smelling it, it was indeed fragrant. Tangy.

"Can we drink this tea with confidence? Someone added something to it, right?" She joked with Yuan Mu.

"Don't worry, some people want us to sleep lightly at night. If we all sleep like dead pigs, then who should we sing that play tonight?" Yuan Mu shook his head, expressing that he didn't have that kind of worry. However, his voice was very soft. Obviously, in such an environment, even if he was not worried about someone putting medicine in the tea, he still had to be wary.

Mu Liuyun smiled, feeling that Yuan Mu's words made sense, drank the fragrant tea in the teacup, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and praised the person across the table: "In the yamen today, your The performance is really remarkable! How can such a person who is usually so upright and has a good way of doing things make such a lifeless and short-tempered appearance so vivid?"

"There has never been a lack of masters in the capital who have high vision but low power." Yuan Mu said.

"It's true. I saw Wang Xiu's various reactions today. I was really annoyed and funny." Mu Liuyun sighed, "In the past, there was Wu Rongzhi, a tyrant who did all kinds of evil, and later, there was a fool like Wang Xiu who didn't know what to do. , The local people are really suffering!

Recently, the Ministry of Officials has conducted examinations on officials in various places, and I don't know if they can find out such mediocre and incompetent people. "

Yuan Mu didn't comment, but just said: "I won't keep Wang Xiu to continue working in Nanshun County. Jiangzhou can't be so big that only Li Yuan, a smart person, is doing things. There must be a complementary .”

Mu Liuyun also nodded again and again. She understood this feeling too well. When she was in the state capital before, it was so depressing to see that what could be handled properly was being messed up by a group of people, but there was nothing she could do about it. up.

The two sat at the table, drank tea, and chatted in a low voice for a while. After all, it was a busy day during the day, and Mu Liuyun was indeed a little tired. He couldn't help but yawned a few times. Yuan Mu hurried Let her go back to rest.

In order to complete the show, the two of them also deliberately acted like Mu Liuyun was as timid as a mouse, afraid of encountering ghosts at night, Lai stayed with Yuan Mu and refused to go back to the room, and was forced to go back by Yuan Mu.

Back in the room, Mu Liuyun didn't intend to change his clothes, just lay down with his clothes on, and closed his eyes on the bed. Although he said he was very tired, his mind was extremely excited, and he couldn't really fall asleep.

Lying like this for a long time, I don't know how long it took, half asleep and half awake, there was a faint cry from outside, Mu Liuyun opened her eyes in an instant, and suddenly woke up, but she didn't move, lying there vertically Keep listening.

The cry sounded not too close to the window, and the voice was similar to what Master Liao described, trembling and trembling.

It lasted for a while, I don't know if it was because there was no movement in Mu Liuyun's room, but the crying tremblingly approached and became a little louder, and at the same time a long ghost figure also floated over Mu Liuyun The window of that room.

Mu Liuyun waited for a while, guessing that the time was almost up, and if he dragged on, he was afraid that the "ghost" would lose his patience, so he sat up quickly and shouted in a panicked voice: "What voice?! Who's there?! "

The ghost on the window swayed a few times, and the cry became louder, and it sounded even more miserable.

"Are you a human or a ghost?!" Mu Liuyun sat by the window, slowly arranging his crumpled robe, calmly, but his response sounded like he was in a panic, "I , I, I have no grievances or enmities with you, I stayed here overnight for today's matter, why did you come here to scare me at night!"

"Ghost" didn't directly respond to her words. While trembling and crying, a few words came out intermittently, which were somewhat vague, and sounded like "miserable" and "so miserable".

Mu Liuyun stood up lightly, still with a terrified tone on his mouth: "Why did you come to me to cry for misery? You want to tell me that you died a miserable death? Who are you? Are you Liao Wenbai?! "

The "ghost" outside cried a little louder when she heard her say that. While crying, he still couldn't forget the word "miserable" intermittently.

"Are you really Liao Wenbai? You...I...I'm timid, don't scare me!" Mu Liuyun continued to plead with the "ghost" outside in a crying tone, " We have worked so hard to investigate the case and help you get justice. Although there is no progress yet, there is hard work without credit, right?

You were also a child who had read sage books during your lifetime, so you can't be unreasonable, right?There are grievances and debts, no matter if you have a grievance for a grievance or a revenge for revenge, you can't find me!

Or else...or you tell me who killed you, and I'll catch him for you and punish him, how about that? "

The crying of the "ghost" outside paused for a moment, as if it had listened to her words. After sobbing a few times, it slowly uttered a word: "Xu... Xu... Woooo... Xu..."
