Chapter 231 Shocked

"Yes, yes, please ask the master to take her in! Second uncle, you listen to the king's head, hurry up and invite a master."

The magistrate of the county ignored his nephew, who was too muddy to support the wall, and only scolded Butou Wang in a cold voice: "It's just someone playing a prank, don't mention any more ghosts. Tonight, arrange someone to guard the gate of the yamen all night. Let's see, who dares to beat our grievance drum in the middle of the night."

"Yes."

Although Wang Butou was afraid, he had to listen to the words of the magistrate.

The whole day passed in such an atmosphere of fear and panic. The moment the sun went down, the villagers who had gathered around the county government office to watch the excitement scattered away like birds and beasts. Wang Butou was willing to let They are all surrounded here, and there are so many people with strong yang.

But all the people dispersed, looking at the empty doorway, Wang Butou shivered and hurried back to the yamen.

"You two, be on duty tonight!"

"Captain Wang, we... we are afraid..."

"The two of you together! Four big men, what are you afraid of? It's just someone playing a prank. I caught him. Your lord will reward you!"

Naturally, Catcher Wang was also afraid, he didn't dare to be on duty in person, so he arranged for four yamen servants to guard the door all night.

The four big men were still trembling with fear.

That night, they lit a bonfire at the door, and the four of them sat around together, staring at the grievance drum with tense spirits. Throughout the night, except for the occasional crow flying by with a hoarse voice, The rest don't even have a fart.

Seeing that in the middle of the night, after everything was normal, they couldn't stand it any longer, and their sleepy eyelids were all fighting.

The four of them can only negotiate an agreement, and they will sleep on duty in shifts.

One person was left to continue staring at Mingyuan Drum, while the other three slept next to each other, rotating one person every hour.

The first one to be left behind was reluctant, firstly because everyone was sleepy, and secondly, the three of them were sleeping and one was left behind, so it was inevitable that they would be terrified.

But looking at it, an hour was about to pass, everything was as usual, and no one came to complain about grievances.

Gradually, the guards couldn't get over the drowsiness, so they added some firewood and threw it into the bonfire, propping their chins with their hands and slowly closing their eyes.

Jiang Zhinuan, who was hiding in the dark, had long thought that there would be someone guarding her today. She brought a soaked embroidered shoe to her uncle, and waited for these people to fall asleep when they couldn't help but let him stand in the distance. Throw the embroidered shoes on the grievance drum.

But she and Zhao Chunxia still climbed up the backyard from the wall. In order to avoid being discovered, the two of them didn't show up this time, so they walked along the row of houses in the back garden and put fresh bloody handprints on all the windows for him!

He also lost an embroidered shoe in the back garden, and before leaving, Jiang Zhinuan even wrote four big characters on the wall of the back garden with chicken blood.

After finishing all this, the two sneaked out of the county office again, and after running a little farther, they whistled for their uncle to throw the embroidered shoes on the Mingyuan Drum.

In the silence of the night, even an extra breath can be heard very clearly, not to mention a pair of heavy embroidered shoes that have been soaked in water and smashed heavily on the Mingyuan Drum.

A loud bang, even with an echo, resounded over the county government office.

In an instant, all the sleeping yamen servants at the door woke up, the lights in the county yamen were brightly lit, and Wang Butou, who had slept in his clothes all night, rushed out quickly.

"What's going on? Who beat the grievance drum, did anyone get caught?"

The four people at the door were almost terrified, and one of them peed his pants in fright. They pointed at the wet embroidered shoe that fell on the ground, their voices trembling with fright.

"Yeah yeah...it's this...shoe...no one..."

Wang Butou suddenly felt a chill on his back, and ordered someone to pick up the embroidered shoe and report to the magistrate.

The four people at the door were afraid of being punished, and insisted that they hadn't slept, and kept staring at the door: "My lord, we really didn't see anyone, and suddenly this embroidered shoe appeared in front of the Mingyuan Drum, and the drum rang!"

These four were indeed terrified, trembling all the time.

The magistrate frowned tightly and told them to roll off. His nephew's screams came from the back garden again.

This night, he didn't dare to sleep. After hearing the sound of the drum, he hurried out and rushed forward. Before he had taken two steps, he was stumbled, and he found it when he lowered his head. He was thrown by Jiang Zhinuan at will. Embroidered shoes in the back garden.

Seeing this thing, he was terrified.

Looking up again, the bloody handprints all over the window, and the bloody words "Return my life", directly scared him to faint.

When he woke up in a daze, hallucinations had already appeared in his head, and he always felt that Lan Er was floating around him, his face was covered with blood, and he was shouting for him to pay for his life.

When several yamen servants escorted him to the county magistrate's room, he was still holding his head and screaming in terror.

The magistrate of the county had no choice but to ask Wang to catch the head and go to see a gentleman who understands yin and yang early in the morning. His nephew was so frightened that he didn't dare to go back to sleep alone.

The magistrate could only ask someone to move a bed to his room, and let his nephew rest in his room tonight.

At dawn, Wang Butou went to the street.

Early in the morning, villagers came to the gate of the county government again to watch the excitement. Wang Butou, who hadn't slept well for two nights, was in a bad mood and his head was swollen.

"Whatever you look at, go!"

"Wang Butou, I said this is very evil, why don't you ask Mr. Wang to have a look?"

A villager dared to talk to Wang Butou, but Wang Butou looked back at him: "Do you know anyone?"

"I don't know each other, but these two days, the gentleman from Yongning County happened to be a top student in our Pingxi Town, and he lives in the Fulai Inn. You can come and have a look. It is said that he is very capable, and the whole Yongning County knows about it. People's names!"

Wang Catcher really didn't know where to find such a master. He originally wanted to go to the mountain to find a Taoist temple or something, but now he heard that there is a powerful master here, so he quickly picked up the one who was talking to him.

"lead the way!"

The uncle, who was crowded in the crowd to watch the excitement, saw that Catcher Wang was being taken to the Fulai Inn, so he turned around and went back to the grocery store.

Jiang Zhinuan was having breakfast, yawned one after another when he was sleepy, and when he saw his uncle came back, he hurriedly greeted him: "Uncle, hurry up and eat something, although this brother-in-law's cooking is not as good as mine, but the food is not bad."

As soon as my uncle sat down, Zhao Hongxia filled a bowl of porridge and brought it up.

"Wang Butou is going to the Fulai Inn!"

"Go today?"

Uncle nodded: "It looks quite anxious!"

Jiang Zhinuan said sharply: "I thought they could hold on for a few more days, but I couldn't bear it until the second day." After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Zhao Hongxia: "Sister Hongxia, what did you find? Is this person reliable?"

"Don't worry, everything has been explained, and I promise to perform well for you!"

Hearing Zhao Hongxia's words, Jiang Zhinuan snorted and drank the whole bowl of porridge, got up and stretched: "Go catch up on sleep."

"Aren't you going to take a look?"

"What are you looking at, follow the plan, and I will be able to go home tomorrow, hugging my husband!"
