White Bone Monkey King

Inn.

Tonight went well.

Jin'an broke through to the fourth level of "Blood Knife Sutra".

A night of silence.

The next day.

Jin An was awakened by the waiter at the inn.

"Master Jin An?"

"Master Jin'an, have you woken up?"

"Mr. Jin An, no good, something happened!"

The waiter stood outside the closed red door of the house and kept calling Jin An's name.

His voice was not loud, and the environment of the house was quiet. He was afraid of disturbing the dreams of guests living in other houses.

The waiter called out three times. Seeing that there was no movement in Jin An's room, he thought Jin An hadn't woken up. He gritted his teeth and planned to leave first.

This time, he took advantage of the break from going to the back kitchen to serve food to the diners in the front hall to sneak in to see Jin An.

So I didn’t dare to really stay too long.

To avoid being caught by the shopkeeper.

His wages were deducted.

But just when the waiter was disappointed and turned to leave, at this moment, the red door of the mansion behind him opened from the inside.

Jin An looked at the waiter at the inn in front of him and asked, "Were you calling me just now?"

When the waiter saw Jin An come out, he looked surprised. After turning around and walking back, he quickly said: "I was calling Mr. Jin An outside the hospital just now. I wonder if I disturbed Mr. Jin An's dream?"

"What do you want from me?"

"You just said something happened. What happened?"

The waiter didn't dare to tell anyone, so he poured out all the words.

"Mr. Jin An, I was cleaning the table in the front hall this morning. I heard one of the guests coming to the shop for breakfast say that an accident happened at Lin Lu's house last night! It was the Lin Lu who helped Mr. Jin An carry the coffin yesterday. Home!"

"Early this morning, the morning bell rang to open the traffic. It was about Mao o'clock, when the sky was just dawning. Lin Lu's courtyard door was wide open. He was responsible for keeping vigil last night, guarding the white man who returned from carrying the coffin from the grave on the north slope. The coffin owner, Taoist Chen, and four or five other people were all staggered and passed out in the yard."

"The lid of the white coffin was actually pushed halfway open."

"Even Lin Lu was stunned and fell into the room where he slept."

"When several people were woken up, Lin Lu seemed to be stimulated by something. He was so frightened that he shouted: "The corpse is up! The corpse is up!" He shouted that the dead man in the coffin ran out on his own. He was standing behind the window and was killed last night. A face that scares me to the point of fainting!"

"In the end, Mr. Jin An, what do you think happened after this incident?"

"This is evil!"

"The body in the coffin was not lost, and the body in the coffin did not escape on its own. The body was still lying down."

"In the end, Daochang Chen made it clear that the face Lin Lu saw while hiding behind the window last night was not necessarily the dead person buried in the coffin. It was possible that an outsider came to steal the body."

"Because last night, Daozhang Chen and the night watchmen were drugged into their meals and put to death. This gave people the opportunity to come and steal the bodies."

"It's just that the person who stole the body never expected that there was another person in the room who was the only one who didn't eat last night's meal and was not knocked out. And this person was Lin who had been mentally weak and had a bad appetite for several days. Lu."

"It's very possible that the person who came to steal the body was scared away by Lin Lu who appeared unexpectedly, and didn't even have time to steal the body."

Jin An was shocked when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, so many things happened last night.

He hurriedly asked the waiter: "What happened next?"

"Have Chief Chen and the others found the person who drugged their food?"

Unexpectedly, the waiter shook his head and said he didn't know, saying that the customers at the table only knew so much, and they also heard it from other people.

After the waiter finished speaking, he looked at Jin An expectantly.

Phew~

"You have done a good job in this matter, and I will reward you with this money."

"If you have anything related to me in the future, you can come to me at any time."

Two pieces of broken silver fell into the palm of the waiter. The waiter beamed with joy and immediately flattered Jin An.

These two pieces of silver can already be regarded as less than half of his monthly salary.

Sure enough, it was not in vain for him to take the risk to find Mr. Jin An.

Just when the waiter and Jin An resigned, and he had to go to the kitchen to continue serving food to avoid being caught by the shopkeeper being lazy, Jin An temporarily stopped him: "I want to ask something more, where has Zhao Ping been recently?"

"How come I haven't seen anyone else in the store for several days?"

The Zhao Ping in Jin An's mouth was the inn boy who sold him the Taoist relics and goats that night.

The waiter answered honestly: "He has been fired by the shopkeeper."

"I don't know the specific reason, but it seems that it was because he said something that he shouldn't have said. I guess he was talking nonsense behind people's backs, and the shopkeeper happened to hear it, so he was fired by the shopkeeper."

"Speaking of which, several of us who had good friendships with him in the past have not seen him for a long time. Since he left overnight the day he was fired by the shopkeeper, he has never seen each other again, and has never come to talk to us about old times."

This news surprised Jin An.

Then the waiter withdrew.

…

But on the way out, the waiter couldn't figure out one thing...

Just now, when I was standing at the door of the house and talking to Mr. Jin An, I don't know if it was because of his imagination, or if he was standing outside the house and couldn't see clearly...

The goat Mr. Jin An kept in the yard seemed to be a lot bigger than when he saw it in the kitchen a few days ago?

Are you getting fatter and stronger?

…

Looking at the back of the waiter leaving, Jin An looked thoughtful.

He originally thought that after carrying the coffin, he would have nothing to do with Lao Shengun, Bai Coffin, and Lin Lu's family in the future.

Unexpectedly, on the first night after carrying the coffin, a body theft occurred.

It was precisely because this matter was so important that he rewarded the clever waiter with two coins at once.

You must know that these two coins are already half a month's wages for an ordinary porter who can only work hard.

In ancient times, a house could be bought with just a few taels of silver.

…

There's just one thing that Jin An hasn't figured out yet.

Since the other party has already stolen the body and drugged the food... why not just poison the person more simply and quickly, instead of just knocking the person unconscious?

Later, Jin An felt that maybe it was because the other party didn't want to attract the attention of the government?

Worried that killing too many people will attract official attention?

The other party just wanted to steal the body and did not want to have direct contact with the official forces.

…

Jin An thought for a while, and finally went out to Lin Lu's house.

When Jin An arrived at Lin Lu's house, he saw young people from the Lin clan standing outside the courtyard wall of Lin Lu's house.

All of them remained motionless.

Like a door god.

Some good people who wanted to come and watch were persuaded to leave.

If you don't listen to good words and persuasion, you should be polite first, then fight, and directly drive people away.

Seeing the Lin clan members looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Jin An immediately understood that in addition to what the waiter told him, something else had happened last night!

Otherwise, why would all Lin Lu's relatives come over and drive away outsiders to prevent outsiders from knowing what was going on in the yard?

People like Jin An and the Lin family are old acquaintances who had interacted with each other yesterday.

As soon as Jin An arrived, he was recognized by Er Zhu who was guarding the door. This Er Zhu of the Lin family was one of the people who carried the coffin with Jin An yesterday. He was tall and dark.

Erzhu: "Huh? Mr. Jin An, why are you here?"

Jin An didn't hide anything and expressed his intention to come. He heard that something happened here, so he came to take a look. After Erzhu heard what Jin An said, he didn't deliberately embarrass Jin An. To be serious, Jin An and he had a life-and-death relationship... They were men who had carried the coffin of a dead person together.

So Er Zhu took the initiative to run errands for Jin An and ran into the yard to deliver a message for Jin An. Soon, Er Zhu ran out again and said that Taoist Master Chen invited him in.
