Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 305 Pick someone to murder.

"Be vigilant at night, don't sleep too hard, if there are ghosts, they will definitely kill you." Li Xiuyuan reminded the guards around him.

"Young Master, it's not that scary." Ma Dong said in surprise.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Who knows, maybe it's just a few wandering ghosts, or maybe it's an evil monster entrenched here, I can't find them now, how can I judge, I have to restrain my breath to lure them to appear, otherwise If the scourge here is not resolved, more people will definitely die, you just need to be more vigilant, if there are ghosts, I will solve them."

He had never expected the guards around him to be able to slay demons, but he really needed some helpers around him for some things, so he had to take them with him.

Several people nodded, with a bit of anxiety in their hearts.

However, when the few people were chatting, a few more guests came to the hotel, a couple of peddlers who went to Jinling City to sell goods, a middle-aged man, wearing a long gown, looked like a scholar, but his fame should not be high, no Something that shows fame and status, and the other person is a policeman, who is full of travel and dust, and I don't know what kind of errand he went out to do.

Several people came to the hotel one after another, making the originally unpopular hotel feel more human.

The shopkeeper didn't recruit a buddy, and he did all the things in the store alone, and he was too busy alone.

"Master, do you want to remind them about the hotel?" Ma Dong asked in a low voice.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "It's rare for the shopkeeper to do business once. We said that they are all going to leave, and it's getting dark now. It's even more dangerous for them to leave Le here and spend their days in the wild. Forget it, no need to remind."

He felt that since he was here, ghosts should not be able to harm anyone.

On the contrary, if these people spend a day in the wilderness, it is hard to say whether there will be any accidents.

"Let's go, go to rest after dinner." Li Xiuyuan got up and said.

Everyone prepares to go to the room to rest.

At this time, the middle-aged scholar suddenly called to Li Xiuyuan: "Brother, please stay a while? My surname is Wang. I just saw that my brother seemed familiar, and I was hesitant. Candidates who took the imperial examination in Guo Beicheng a few months ago?"

"Oh, I took the exam for a scholar, I don't know you are?" Li Xiuyuan, who was about to leave, replied.

He saw this middle-aged scholar and thought about it, but he couldn't wait to see him somewhere.

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "I am also one of the candidates that day. When I entered the examination room that day, I met my brother. I saw my brother's outstanding figure and dignified appearance, so I admired him very much. I will never forget it. I never thought of today. will meet you here."

It turned out to be one of the test friends.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I have a good memory with one step, but I remember it after meeting once."

"Hehe, my ability to memorize books is not good, but my ability to memorize people is not bad. This time, I heard from the yamen's announcement that Jinling City was selected for the imperial examination. Because of the flood and plague a while ago, I changed it. I'm going to Jinling City to have a look at the list, to see if there are any outstanding talents this time." Wang Sheng said with a smile, looking very looking forward to it.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at him, but saw that he should be in his thirties at this age, and he hadn't passed the examination of scholar until now.

No wonder the ancients had a saying, that is to learn to be old and to be old by examination.

A scholar is just the starting point for a scholar, and he has begun to have some privileges of a scholar, but if he wants to be an official, he must at least be a candidate, that is, a scholar can go one step further.

It's just that the difficulty of being a Juren is much more difficult than that of a scholar. Based on the ability of Wang Tongsheng in front of him, it is estimated that he is at best a scholar.

Because people are old, they don't have so much energy to take the imperial examination.

Moreover, his ability has reached the limit, and Ford can only support him to this point.

The two met by chance and chatted with each other for a few words. They became acquainted. Wang Sheng wanted to ask Li Xiuyuan to invite him to drink, but Li Xiuyuan politely refused.

I still have things to do at night, how can I go to drink?

After finding an excuse, he bid farewell to Wang Sheng and went back to his room to rest.

"This scholar obviously only met the young master once, but he dragged the young master to buy you a drink. I'm afraid it's uneasy and well-intentioned." Wu Fei grinned while touching his bald head.

Li Xiuyuan said: "There is no other idea. Wang Sheng must know that he has no hope in the imperial examination, so he has kept a lot of contacts. When I become a high-ranking official one day, I can support him. This is not something that people despise. Among scholars It's very common in circles."

He is still young, and now he has passed the examination as a scholar. In the future, it will not be difficult to pass the examination or Jinshi. He does have potential worth investing in.

Soon, it was getting late, and the people in the inn fell asleep one after another.

The shopkeeper didn't go back to his room to rest, but lay down in front of the counter and guarded the store with an oil lamp. I don't know if he already knew that there might be ghosts in this inn, so he didn't dare to sleep so peacefully.

When the night was getting dark and the hotel was silent.

Suddenly a strange wind blew up in the lobby of the store, and the oil lamp placed on the cabinet was blown loudly.

The shopkeeper, who was sleeping on the counter, seemed to be in a deep sleep, and didn't feel the slightest.

At this time, several whispering voices sounded in the hotel. Although the voices were small, they were clearly audible in the extremely quiet environment. whisper.

"A lot of people came to this hotel today, I counted, there are nine people, what a rare event."

"The three of us just choose one to murder, so we don't have to rob like last time."

It turned out that three fierce ghosts were entrenched in the inn, discussing how to murder people's lives.

"How about the young man in the first room? Looks weak and deceitful? I think this is a good target." A ghost said.

"That won't work. That young man is dressed in brocade clothes. It can be seen that he is the son of a wealthy family. If we kill him, we will be in trouble."

The first ghost said again: "The second and third rooms are guarded by the young master from before, can we go and murder them?"

"This is even worse. There is a bald man in the second room. He is an executioner. He has beheaded more than 100 people. He has even killed the county magistrate. Will he still be afraid of us? The two men in the third room They all carry willow sticks in their pockets, and they specialize in beating ghosts with sticks, we might be beaten to death by them if we go." Another ghost hastily refused.

"How about the policeman in the four rooms?" the ghost asked again.

The third ghost shook its head and said, "That's not okay. The messenger usually acts as a domineering, blackmailer, and even used his power to murder several lives. This time he escorted the prisoner for distribution, but he didn't send the prisoner away." We went to the border, but killed the prisoner on the way, so we should not provoke such a vicious policeman, otherwise it would be bad if he launched a fierce attack and chopped us off."

"Then the middle-aged scholar in the fifth room should be able to murder him." The first ghost said again.

"This can be murdered. He is just a boy student. This time the test paper was tainted and even the scholar failed to pass the exam. He will have no chance to take the exam again in the future, and there is no gorgeous article on his head. He is much worse than the scholar who stayed last time. The scholar lit up the roof and lit up the entire hotel, causing us to dare not even enter the door, but there was only a puff of black smoke above the scholar's head, and there were only dozens of scriptures and more than a hundred articles in the black smoke That's all, it's all clichés, things that distort the meaning of sages, and they don't even have the qualifications to shine."

"Then can the peddler couple in the sixth room be murdered?" the first ghost asked again.

"This can also be murdered. The couple are just ordinary people. They have no power, no power, and no gorgeous culture. Such people are the weakest and easy to bully. We can kill them." Another ghost said.

The three ghosts discussed everything and decided to murder Wang Sheng and the peddler couple.

Not murdering Li Xiuyuan is not because he has seen through Li Xiuyuan's identity, but seeing Li Xiuyuan's gorgeous clothes and good family background, he dare not provoke rich people.

Don't murder Wu Fei, Ma Dong and his four guards are afraid of their abilities and think they can't fight.

If you don't murder the policeman, you are afraid of his cruelty and ferocity.

After the three ghosts finished discussing, they turned into a cold ghost and flew towards Wang Sheng who lived in the fifth room of the hotel and the peddler couple in the sixth room.
