Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 22
After chatting with Niu Dewang for a while, Hu Qian probably knew what was going on, but that was all.

The reminder in my mind has not changed in any way. It seems that without further understanding of the case, there will be no next reminder.

Thinking of Hu BuTong's advice, he decided to visit Xu Yuanfang and his son in prison.

But when he arrived at the gate of the prison, he was stopped, saying that it was the Tong Zhifu's strict order that no one should visit Xu Yuanfang and his son.

He was about to retreat when suddenly a Jin Yiwei walked over.

"Is this Mr. Hu Qian?"

"It's down."

"Master Ruan is here to invite you."

"Master Ruan?"

Hu Qian's heart moved, and he immediately understood that it should be Ruan Conghai.

Unexpectedly, he was sent over again.

Going around the hall and corridor, the two arrived at a small courtyard, where Ruan Conghai was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, staring blankly at the knife in front of him.

"My lord, Mr. Hu is here."

Ruan Conghai turned his head and waved at the Jin Yiwei.

The Jin Yiwei was about to leave, when Ruan Conghai suddenly said, "Wait a minute, draw up a memorial to say that Huang San died by killing an enemy, and get more compensation for his family."

"Yes, my lord!" The man bowed to leave.

"Student Hu Qian, I met Master Ruan."

"Don't be too polite, just sit down. I'm looking for you this time for your help."

"My lord, you are being polite. As long as it is possible, the students will do their best."

"Let's not talk about this. I have had someone check the matter of you catching foxes in Taohua Town and summoning the soul of Ma Sigang's daughter. It is true."

"Students are just lucky."

"Those dead students are considered disciples of the emperor. The emperor is very concerned about this matter, so I must find out the real culprit."

He paused, and then said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Hu Qian said: "The students have only just arrived in Jinling, and they still don't understand many things. If they can ask Xu's father and son first, maybe they will gain something."

Ruan Conghai said: "Isn't Xu Yuanfang your uncle? You still want to see him? Are you afraid of being implicated?"

Hu Qian said: "Students obey the adults' orders."

Ruan Conghai laughed, "I'm a straight person, don't play around with me."

Then he took out a token, "I know your concerns, with this token, you can search wherever you want, and Tong Mingrui and the others will never dare to blame you.

but……

I hope you can give me a satisfactory result.

No matter what is causing the trouble, since it dares to kill my brother, I must let it pay for it! "

Hu Qian took the token, "Thank you sir, the students will do their best."

After saying goodbye and leaving, it was already the second watch.

When Hu Qian came to the prison, the guard saw him and was about to lose his temper. When he saw the token in Hu Qian's hand, he immediately cheered up and said with a smile, "I wonder if this lord is..."

"Take me to meet Xu's father and son."

"Yes……"

In the depths of the prison, Xu Yuanfang was sitting on the damp withered grass in a daze. When he saw Hu Qian coming, he immediately stood up excitedly.

Hu Qian waved the guard away, then stepped forward and said, "Uncle."

Xu Yuanfang said: "Nephew, have you been to Xu's Mansion? Is there nothing wrong there? What did the prefect say? Have you caught the real culprit?"

"Although there are soldiers in front of the gate of Xu's mansion, there should be nothing wrong."

Xu Yuanfang sighed, "Uncle really regrets the past, if he could have listened to you then, why did this happen!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears, the candlelight was dim, and he looked much older in an instant.

"Uncle, what happened?"

Xu Yuanfang looked at Hu Qian, as if he suddenly thought of something, and grabbed his hand, "Nephew, you can summon demons and catch ghosts, right, you want to save Zhenhu, I beg you."

"Uncle, if you don't tell me, they should blow me away."

Xu Yuanfang said: "After you left that day, someone came to report that many dead bodies of students were found in the inn.

That night, the magistrate brought someone here, I thought that at most he would ask me about the crime of being unfavorable,
Unexpectedly, someone suddenly reported seeing Zhenhu selling pills to those students, and then the magistrate was going to arrest Zhenhu,

Naturally, I didn't want to, but I was arrested together. "

"What about Zhenhu?"

"I haven't seen him, maybe he's locked up somewhere else.

In fact, if you don't tell me, I can probably guess that so many students died strangely at the same time, it is impossible for ordinary murderers to do it, unless there are ghosts.

Mr. Tong and the others may be able to investigate the case, but if they are to deal with ghosts, they will never be able to do so.

Maybe they are already fabricating crimes against me, it doesn't matter if I die, it's just Zhenhu...

Nephew, for the sake of my friendship with your father for many years, you must save him. "

"Don't worry, uncle, I will do my best."

After leaving the prison, the reminder in my mind suddenly changed.

【What exactly is Xu Zhenhu's pill?】

In this way, there is really some kind of mysterious pill.

Early the next morning, he still came to the prison, and after asking the guards, he was taken to the place where Xu Zhenhu was detained.

Before he got there, he heard Xu Zhenhu singing there.

"Blow a ball, blow a big balloon..."

Hu Qian walked over and saw him lying on the cold ground with his legs stretched upwards, biting hay in his mouth, looking crazy.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Zhenhu just played with himself, "The sky is falling, the earth is falling, the little flower dog is gone..."

The cell boss behind him said to Hu Qian, "You don't need to ask, he's gone crazy long ago, and he's still doing well now, the one who kept hitting himself hard yesterday, tsk tsk, it hurts me just looking at it."

In desperation, Hu Qian had no choice but to check the corpse again, but he couldn't find any problems.

"That's right, that woman!"

Hu Qian took Hu Jiu and groped to find that alley.

After searching around, I found a small courtyard.

Although there is nothing unusual about this yard, but after asking Hu Jiu to inquire about it, it was indeed rented out not long ago, and the neighbors often saw a son-in-law going in and out.

Hu Qian nodded, "Knock!"

Hu Jiu stepped forward immediately, but after taking a few shots, no one answered the door.

"Kick it away!"

Hu Jiu agreed, stepped back a few steps, started running, and kicked over.

"Bang!"

After a loud noise, Hu Jiu was bounced to the ground, clutching his feet in a "ouch".

Hu Qian patted the door panel, it was slightly thick.

"Master, my foot seems to be sprained."

Hu Qian didn't speak, looked around, picked up a branch from his feet, and unleashed his swordsmanship.

With a flash of white light, the heavy door panel was split into two.

Look at the cut marks again, neat and tidy.

It's just that the branch in his hand seemed unable to withstand such an impact, and broke with a "snap".

Hu Jiu opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Master... you are so amazing!"

Hu Qian walked in on his own, only to see that the courtyard was quiet, as if no one was there.

However, before Hu Qian took a step forward, he immediately saw a white mist in the main room directly opposite the door.

Previous experience told him that there was something unclean in the main room.

He clenched his fist, walked quickly, and pushed the door open.
