Chapter 45
As soon as he entered the county, there was a man wearing a scholar's shirt, a small crown, a goatee, and a haggard face.

There are quite a few literati who wear small crowns. According to what Zhu Qi saw with his own eyes, most middle-aged bald people would wear such a hat.

"I've seen you, my lords! The younger one is Dong Qu, the master of Guoyun County." Dong Qu took the initiative to greet him and said, "My lords have come from a long way, please come to the house to rest for a while."

"Alright." Zhu Qi nodded.

Seeing Zhu Qi nodding, the other six had no objection.

Although Zhu Qi is young, his strength is already at the seventh level of martial arts. When his strength matches his status and his age, everyone will only see that he has a bright future. How could anyone dare to jump out and make trouble.

The environment of Dong Qu's house is not good, the roof tiles are sparse, and a brick is missing under the window, so the wind leaks. Winter is approaching, and it is estimated that there will be many nights with biting cold wind.

They tied their horses to a tree in the courtyard and followed Dong Qu into the house to rest.

The lighting in the house is not bad, and it is also bright in broad daylight.

Dong Qu moved some long benches, and said awkwardly: "My family environment is very poor, please forgive me."

"The environment is not a problem." Zhu Qi shook his head and asked, "Is there no inn in Guoyun County?"

"Yes, yes." Dong Qu nodded: "But the inn...doesn't welcome you adults very much."

Qimen Jiashi has the nickname "Black Skin" in Jianghu. If it is run by Jianghu people, it is normal that he and others are not welcome.

Zhu Qi nodded, not surprised by this, but asked: "Master Dong, can you tell me in detail about the county government?"

"Yes" Dong Qu nodded and sighed: "It was half a month ago when we in Guoyun County received the news that the official bank was lost. Our county magistrate Liu Qingxi and Mr. Liu led eighteen arrests in the yamen to investigate together that night. When I was young, I was just a teacher, so I went home early to sleep, who knows... the next day the gate of the yamen was closed, and no one opened the door when I went to call, so I called four or five good people to go in together, and then I found out , everyone is dead!"

"They are all dead, where is the magistrate?" Zhu Qi frowned and asked.

In the news he received, there was no death of the county magistrate.

"I don't know." Dong Qu shook his head, "Master Liu seems to have disappeared without a trace."

"Did you send people in to look for it during the day?" Zhu Qi asked.

"I have searched!" Dong Qu nodded: "I have searched every room and every corner during the day, and nothing strange happened, but because Mr. Liu and the others had an accident at night, no one dared to investigate at night. wait until your lords come."

Zhu Qi looked at Shi Feiyi and the others: "What do you guys think?"

Shi Feiyi was the first to speak: "This matter should be investigated carefully. It is impossible for a living person to disappear for no reason. I guess the person must be somewhere. Even if he is dead, there should be a body. It should be searched carefully."

The death of a magistrate is not a small matter. Of course, the biggest impact is Zhu Qi's promotion. After all, there was no news of the magistrate's death when he received this case.

Fang Hua said with a smile: "Everything is according to Master Zhu's orders."

The other four also nodded: "I will wait for Master Zhu's orders."

This is the task of your wish, not us, we are responsible for just going through the motions, everyone is not messing with you, and will not tear down your platform, but they will not work hard with you.

As for Shi Feiyi's proposal, it was directly rejected by Zhu Qi. They had just arrived, and they were looking for news about the county magistrate who was obviously hidden by ghosts and ghosts. They were headless chickens.

What's more, the most important thing in this case is not the magistrate. In the case of the official banker and the death of eighteen arrests, as long as the official banker case can be solved, even if the magistrate is really dead, it doesn't matter.

"Let's go and see the eighteen corpses first."

Eighteen corpses are displayed in Yizhuang in Guoyun County, and the old man who guards Yizhuang has a single eyebrow.

The corpse was consistent with the above information, and there was no wound on the body surface. I asked Wu for questioning, and it was confirmed that the internal organs of the corpse were not injured, and there was no internal injury or poisoning.

Zhu Qi sighed: "In this case, let's go to the county office tonight."

"Yes!"

Waiting quietly for nightfall, Zhu Qi asked Shi Feiyi to stay and respond. If he and others died quietly like the eighteen arresters, someone must spread the news. That master, he doesn't have enough weight, day lily It's all cold.

The moonlight was deserted, Zhu Qi and the other five climbed over the wall and entered the backyard.

After landing, everyone dispersed immediately, trying to search the entire county office in the shortest possible time.

The county government does not occupy a large area, and the time is at most no more than a cup of tea, so it is relatively safe.

Zhu Qi visited three rooms in a row.

no one!

no one!

Still no one!

Not even ghosts can be seen.

In the quiet autumn night, there are no insects or birds, or even the wind blowing through the leaves. Everything is surprisingly quiet.

There were footsteps coming from ahead, Zhu Qi paused, and rested his right hand on the sword.

"My lord!"

It was Fang Hua who came. He shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything."

"It seems that the night is no different from the day, let's go to another small courtyard to have a look." Zhu Qi turned his head and left, followed by Fang Hua.

Following behind Zhu Qi, looking at Zhu Qi's back, Fang Hua's heart is so complicated at the moment.

A kid who just joined unexpectedly snatched his chance and sat in the position that he had planned for many years. He was full of hatred and jealousy.

What's even more strange is that recently Fang Hua found that he couldn't get in touch with his junior brother. The other party seemed to have evaporated, and he couldn't help complaining to his junior brother: "What a waste, I can't do a little thing well, I wish you all the best!" He has really become a small flag, do those Jianghu people dare to make trouble for him? Everyone bullies the weak and fears the strong."

Although he felt anxious, Fang Hua followed Zhu Qi's footsteps.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the two of them stopped at the same time.

The dark wind blows on the body, and the skin and flesh are not cooled and bitingly cold, which is completely opposite to the cold wind in winter.

"There's a ghost!"

Needless to say, the two unanimously pushed the door and entered the next room to hide.

Zhu Qi swept his eyes and found that it was a boudoir. There was a dressing table, a big bed carved in mahogany, and a wardrobe in the room.

The smell of rouge in the room is tangy, this is a women's boudoir!
He walked quickly to the closet, opened the closet door and got in, while Fang Hua chose to drill under the bed.

Call ~
The creaking sound of the wooden door was strange to say. When Zhu Qi pushed the door and entered, there was no movement at all, but when the ghost came in, the door hinge seemed to be in disrepair, and there was a lot of movement.

A beautiful figure staggered into the room.

Zhu Qi looked out through the gap in the closet, and his heart moved: "It's her!"

That delicate-looking female ghost was the one who bought cakes from Zhu Qi with a skeleton in the ghost town that day, and it was she who spent the official money that led to the official bank case.

Zhu Qi didn't see the little skull in the opponent's arms.

Just when he was wondering, a deep voice came from outside: "How dare a living person break into the county office! Come on! Kill them!"

"No, run away!"

There was a commotion outside, the sound of swords chopping, and cries of pain.

"It's the four of them, they've been discovered!" Zhu Qi, who was hiding in the closet, had an ugly expression on his face. The four of them were pretty good, but they didn't expect to be so sloppy in doing things, and they bumped into the ghost forces here.

Of course, what made his face look ugly was that these four people ran away as soon as they said they wanted to, and they didn't care about themselves at all. If Zhu Qi hadn't been hiding not far away, he probably didn't know that this "secret" operation had become a siege. war.

The wind was howling outside, and the smirk was piercing.

In the room, the female ghost turned her head and walked straight towards the wardrobe.

"Fuck! Such bad luck!"
