Disarmed and returned to the field: the goddess of war returns to the village to engage in construct

Chapter 221
On this day, Aunt Zhao, the concubine of the County Magistrate Lu, said mysteriously: "My lord, I heard that the coffin of Li Hong who died two years ago was suddenly opened for some reason, and there was a letter inside. The letter was taken out, and since he was illiterate, he had to ask a scholar who wrote letters for others on the street to read, guess what was written on it?"

Li Hong is from Qingfeng Town, her family is poor, but she is very beautiful.

In ancient times, it was a sin to be beautiful without the ability to protect yourself.

Unfortunately, she was seen by magistrate Lu.

County magistrate Lu felt that he had fallen into an instant, and vowed to take her as his concubine.

The feeling Li Hong gave him was different from the feeling Ye Qing gave him.

Li Hong is a weak daffodil, and Ye Qing is a rose with thorns.

And it's not the same as before.

It is said that she would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine.

At that time, County Magistrate Lu had just arrived, so he was not so bold.

I just went to find Li Hong secretly, but Li Hong had a very strong personality. After the county magistrate Lu succeeded, she committed suicide.

Her elderly parents couldn't bear the pain of white-haired people sending black-haired people away, and they left within a year.

Those who didn't know the truth thought that Li Hong committed suicide because of poverty.

Only magistrate Lu knew the actual situation.

But he didn't shed a single tear for the poor girl, he just regretted that such a beautiful girl didn't accept his favor.

County Magistrate Lu, who was reading a book, was stunned for a moment, put down the scroll, looked at Aunt Zhao's face: "When did it happen?"

Aunt Zhao: "Everyone spread the word, it's just yesterday."

"What was written in the letter?"

The county magistrate Lu never thought about why there was a letter in the coffin after more than two years, and it would not rot.

Aunt Zhao: "It said in the letter that she should not be killed. And people outside are spreading the word that Li Hong's uncle went to see Mr. Xiangming, saying that Li Hong should have a rich life, not the empress, At least she is also a noble concubine."

County Magistrate Lu knocked on Aunt Zhao's head with a book, and said with a broken smile, "What nonsense are you talking about? Queens and noble concubines, it's all nonsense."

"Really." Aunt Zhao said sternly: "Everyone is saying that if Li Hong can't be a concubine in this life, then she will definitely be reborn in the emperor's family in the next life. The premise is to find the person who killed her. You say, she Didn't she commit suicide, why do you say someone killed her?"

The county magistrate Lu raised his voice a little angrily and said: "You women have long hair and short knowledge. What kind of nonsense is this? What's the point of preaching indiscriminately?"

Aunt Zhao felt aggrieved: "It's not only the concubine who said it, but now the main one is out of the yamen, and everyone on the street is talking about it. I also heard that Mr. Xiangming said that Li Hong's fortune was interrupted, and he should have gone to hell after death." She is from the underworld, but for the sake of God's filial piety, she can be sent to heaven as a fairy as long as she performs rituals for 49 days."

"It's going to the sky and going to the earth, do you know what you're talking about?" County magistrate Lu was completely angry, threw the book away, got up and left.

Aunt Zhao shouted from behind: "Master, I also heard from others, I... I just don't say anything, master, it's so late, where are you going?"

Seeing Magistrate Lu go further and further away until the figure disappeared, Aunt Zhao sat down melancholy, very sad, she would not gossip if she had known.

County magistrate Lu walked out of the yamen angrily, and the yamen servant on duty greeted him, but he ignored him.

County Magistrate Lu was walking on the lonely, dark street, and suddenly felt an inexplicable cold all over his body.

He looked up at the sky, a crescent moon hung high in the sky, the moonlight was alluring.

For some reason, there was no one on the road, and it seemed even more silent and gloomy.

County magistrate Lu stood in the middle of the road, but his eyes were looking in the direction of Li Hong's house. It was several streets away from here, a little distance away.

Suddenly, he saw a white shadow standing not far away, and felt inexplicably familiar.

He frowned, walked over quickly, and couldn't help but ask, "Girl, who are you? Why are you still here at night?"

The white shadow heard the voice, but didn't turn around, just stood quietly.

County magistrate Lu felt that this person was not polite at all, so he couldn't help but said loudly: "Didn't you hear my question?"

As the magistrate Lu said, he patted the woman's shoulder directly, trying to make her turn her head around.

This action is really impolite.

The woman still didn't move, but County Magistrate Lu felt that the woman's body was very cold. When he touched it, it was as if he could touch a glacier, and the ice went down to the bone marrow.

On this gloomy night, County Magistrate Lu couldn't help shivering, and asked tremblingly, "Girl, what's wrong with you? Why are you so cold?"

The woman still didn't move, but her head was turned slightly to the side, but because the moonlight was not clear, and the woman had long hair and shoulders, County Magistrate Lu couldn't see her face clearly at the first time.

The woman moved slightly, then shook off County Magistrate Lu's hand, and then walked forward slowly.

Suddenly he felt someone pat him on the back, and when he looked back, there was no one.

When Magistrate Lu turned his head again, he found that there was no one on the whole street except himself.

County Magistrate Lu was taken aback. Goosebumps instantly arose on his arms and neck, and he was sweating profusely.

He wiped his sweat with his sleeves, his feet were trembling, he turned around with difficulty, and wanted to run back.

However, he didn't know whether it was because the ground was too slippery or his legs were too soft. He staggered and fell to the ground after just two steps.

If you fall down, get up.

However, Magistrate Lu felt his hands were sticky.

Slowly raised his hand, brought it in front of his eyes, opened his eyes, and looked at the faint moonlight, so frightened that he almost screamed.

He clearly saw that the slightly painful palm was just rubbing against it, but at this moment, it was full of blood. Moreover, the blood came from nowhere and kept flowing.

The strong smell of blood came to his face, County Magistrate Lu's brain began to slacken, and he stood up precariously, but in his mind, he remembered what Aunt Zhao said at home just now.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "No, it's impossible."

Silence, strange powers, and ghosts are all the foolish opinion of ignorant people.

He hurriedly rubbed his palms on the clothes vigorously, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to scratch a layer of skin.

However, he wiped the whole clothes, and the blood on his hands was still not dried.

The more you wipe, the more afraid you become, and the more afraid you become, the more you lose your sense of proportion.

I can't manage so much anymore, let's run quickly.

When he was about to run to the yamen, he suddenly felt that someone was following him.

Gathering up his courage, he turned around suddenly, and saw, not far from him, there was a white shadow standing there quietly.

"who are you?"

His voice was not loud, but his tone was trembling, obviously he was extremely scared!
But the white shadow remained motionless.

County magistrate Lu was terrified, and many thoughts ran through his mind, but the one that he thought about the most was only one point - whether what he met now and just now was a human or a ghost?

He shivered coldly, his back pressed against the wall, and his whole body couldn't help shaking.

Shirai Shadow walked over, not fast.

Magistrate Lu felt that a century had passed.

Slowly and finally walking in front of County Magistrate Lu, as Bai Ying got closer and closer, the face of Bai Ying's person was finally revealed.

"Ghost." A scream resounded through the sky.

...

County magistrate Lu has been in a trance for the past few days, and he can't keep his spirits up when doing anything.

The concubine, Aunt Zhao, was really worried and invited the doctor to her home.

The doctor checked the pulse and said that there was no serious physical problem, but the lack of rest caused mental distress.

Aunt Zhao felt very puzzled. That night, the master went out for a trip, and when he came back, he was out of his mind.

Asked him what happened, but he beat him to death and refused to tell.

Then, every night he sat in the study until dawn.

The doctor prescribed several tranquilizers and ordered three bowls of water to be boiled into one bowl.

Looking at the listless Magistrate Zhao, Aunt Zhao tentatively asked the truth: "My lord, are you bored about Ye Qing?"

County magistrate Lu endured his increasingly ugly face, and nodded to Aunt Zhao without raising his eyes.

If you want to capture a man's heart, you have to know what's in his heart.

If you want to stay in favor, you have to do what you like.

Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "My lord, why don't I meet Ye Qing as a concubine?"

County magistrate Lu thought of Ye Qing holding a dagger against his neck, and he felt furious, and waved his hand: "No, I can't even handle it, so what can you do?"

In fact, it wasn't because of Ye Qing at all, but he couldn't tell because of his suffering.

You can't tell others that he saw a ghost, right?

And who would believe it.

Besides, Li Hong committed suicide because of him.

If he speaks out at this time, wouldn't it reveal the ugly things he did?Do you throw yourself into the trap?

No, you can't say it, you can't say it even if you kill him.

Since then, magistrate Lu has been having nightmares whenever he falls asleep.

It should be said that as soon as you close your eyes, you will think of that white shadow.

Because of this, he was mentally ill.

Slowly, he didn't dare to stay in the room alone.

I dare not go to the study even if I can.

If you want to go, you need someone to accompany you.

That night, County Magistrate Lu couldn't bear the exhaustion and had a stew, but when he woke up, he found that there was no one around him.

The county magistrate Lu didn't dare to sleep anymore, sat on the bed, called the yamen servants outside, and didn't do anything, just asked to accompany him.

What is this all about? You are a big man, do you still need someone to accompany you?
We are yamen servants, not servants of your family. There is still so much work to do outside.

Everyone complained, but they dared not speak out.

County magistrate Lu was awakened by the nightmare again. When he opened his eyes, he saw a magnified human face. He turned pale with fright and screamed.

The magistrate of Lu's call scared Aunt Zhao too, she quickly took two steps back and said in a panic: "Master, I'm a concubine, I'm a concubine..."

Seeing the man's appearance clearly, and being sure that it was his own, County Magistrate Lu took a deep breath: "Fen'er, it's you! Didn't scare you."

Aunt Zhao hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Master, forgive me. My concubine sees Master sweating profusely. I want to wipe the sweat off Master, but I don't want to wake him up. Master forgive me!"

Hearing this, County Magistrate Lu touched his forehead, and sure enough, he felt the hot sweat on his hands, and then felt clammy all over his body, and his back was soaked.

County magistrate Lu felt uncomfortable all over, and said to Aunt Zhao: "Go to boil water, I need to take a shower and change clothes."

"What time?" Aunt Zhao looked at the sky outside, it was still the second watch, and she wanted to boil water for a bath.

But Aunt Zhao had to obey orders.

Of course, Aunt Zhao did not go in person, but called the two maids guarding the door to prepare hot water.

The hot water was ready soon, and County Magistrate Lu took a shower and changed his clothes, but he didn't want to sleep at all.

At this moment, it was not yet three o'clock, and although Aunt Zhao was very sleepy, she had to sit down and accompany Lu County Magistrate.

"Fen'er." County Magistrate Lu asked in a daze, "Do you believe that there really are ghosts in this world?"

Aunt Zhao was taken aback, she didn't know why he asked such a question, but she still remembered that she said that Li Hong's uncle asked someone to do something for Li Hong, and he also said that she was suspicious.

After thinking about it, I still chose the answer that I thought was more appropriate: "I believe that the sky has eyes and all things have spirits. There are all kinds of strange things in this world, so there are naturally ghosts. Otherwise, how could there be so many of them?" temples and eminent monks."

"Then you say, people can see them?"

"The concubine doesn't know."

The county magistrate Lu suddenly said grimly: "Tell me, why... let me see those..."

Aunt Zhao's goosebumps stood up, and she stared at him with wide eyes: "Master, what did you see?"

County Magistrate Lu was a little flustered by Aunt Zhao's gaze, and called out again: "Come here! Come here for me!"

At this time, Aunt Zhao stood up, and he walked slowly towards the bed. Under the gradually flustered gaze of County Magistrate Lu, she suddenly smiled strangely, shook her head, and said, "Master, can you call me?" Come on, they have all gone to sleep, there are only two of us here."

County Magistrate Lu finally realized that something was wrong, and the expression on his face became extremely ugly: "You you..."

Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "Master, there are ghosts in this world, you are right, so please trouble Master to go to hell."

As Aunt Zhao said, she suddenly stretched out a dagger in her hand, shining silver in the candlelight.

"Big, big, bold, come, come, come, there are assassins, there are assassins!" County magistrate Lu screamed in fright, and while roaring, he frantically threw the things at hand on Aunt Zhao.

County magistrate Lu wanted to get out of bed and run away, but when he finally found an opportunity to rush to the gate, his leg was pulled.

When County Magistrate Lu looked back, he saw Aunt Zhao grinning with horror, grabbing his leg with one hand, and pulling him back.

In the room, the faint candlelight flickered, but the moonlight outside the window was bright and clean.

Horrible screams sounded all night.

On the second day, the story of county magistrate Lu seeing a ghost was widely circulated in the yamen.

Zhang Libo didn't sleep well last night, and only took a nap in the morning. When he woke up, he was startled by a report: "What? My lord, what's wrong?"

The yamen servant nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it is my lord, there is something wrong with him."

Zhang Butou didn't even wash his face, and hurried to the yamen.

The first thing that came into view was Aunt Zhao who was out of breath from crying.
