The nightmare happened once, then a second time, and then a third time. When he arrived at Ning'an City, Su Xiaopei was already quite frightened. She didn't want to live in the small courtyard behind the Huifu Ya, and of course no one asked her to go back. Ran Feize wanted to take her to an inn, but Qin Dezheng said that there was an empty courtyard at the end of the street in the mansion.
The group drove the carriage directly to the front of the courtyard, and when they asked, it was still empty. The courtyard is not big, with three rooms and a kitchen, which is just right. Not far from the government office. Ran Feize immediately decided to rent it, Qin Dezheng was very enthusiastic, and Lord Yin of the Taoist government has always been thinking about Master Su. Now that Su Xiaopei has returned after a long calamity, the adults must be very happy. The position of master must be reserved for Su Xiaopei. If Su Xiaopei is willing, he will tell the adults to let Su Xiaopei go to work. Salary is still the same, renting a house and daily food expenses can also be regarded as a yamen.
Bai Yulang murmured while listening to it, saying that adults are biased, and that he is very dedicated to his work, but he has never given him a monthly increase.
Liu Xiang replied to him: "Are you short of monthly money? Even if it is increased for you, your monthly money is not enough for you to buy a suit of clothes." Your son's coming to grab the position of Xiaohukuai has already made many people grit their teeth, okay? Also hate the monthly money.
"I like to catch fast clothes the most, so I don't need to buy new clothes." Bai Yulang plausibly said.
"Do you have that kind of skill?" Qin Dezheng choked Bai Yulang back with a word.
Su Xiaopei looked at Ran Feize, and he said, "Take care of your body first and then talk about it. I have nightmares every day, I can't sleep well, and I have no energy. How can I be an errand?"
Su Xiaopei nodded hurriedly: "Or, let's go to Changfu and ask where Luo Linger's tomb is, and I'll take a look at her to see what kind of resentment she has."
"Eldest sister, you can still look at the grave to see the resentment. According to me, it is more appropriate for you to go to the temple and ask the old monk to do the practice."
Su Xiaopei bit his lip, worried and hesitant for a while: "Let's go and have a look first."
So Su Xiaopei settled down. Qin Dezheng and the others went back to the mansion on their own to be resettled. Su Xiaopei took a short rest and had dinner. Then Ran Feize led him back to the mansion, and greeted his colleagues that day. Everyone was amazed to see Su Xiaopei alive, and they all said that the blood in that room was a big deal for her to be alive.
Su Xiaopei socialized for a while, and then went to see Lord Fu Yin again. The Fu Yin had a good meal with her to comfort her, and it would be good if she came back straight, and said what Qin Dezheng had said again, if she was healthy and willing to come back, she would also let her be a master. Su Xiaopei quickly thanked him.
It took a long time to talk about the old days. Su Xiaopei Ran Feize was left behind by everyone, and finally returned to his residence after eating and drinking. Before leaving, he took back all the things and books that Su Xiaopei left at the time.
Back in the room, Su Xiaopei didn't bother to count her things, but held her dizzy head: "This pretending to be sick is almost really sick."
Ran Feize came over and stretched out his hand to press the acupoints on her head, massaged it gently for a while, and asked, "Headache?"
"Shouldn't it be better to ask if it hurts before doing it?"
"Huoxuetongmai, do you want to ask?" Flick her forehead.
Su Xiaopei almost jumped up from the pain, and suddenly became more awake.
"How?" He pulled up the chair and sat across from her.
"I can't see the clue for now. But if it is Liu Xiang, he will definitely try to pull some accomplices."
"Where's Qin Caotou?"
Su Xiaopei frowned: "You doubt him?"
"If you think about the people that Du Chengming has snatched up, they are either the chief or the big disciple. What is the use of the single-handed minions to him? Liu Xiang is a bit weird. The day you were killed was also his vigil. Of course, he had to guard against it. It's just him. It's just a small catcher, what's the benefit of Du Chengming's long-term control over him? Is there a shortage of handymen?"
Su Xiaopei thought for a while: "You're right, but I didn't see anything suspicious about Qin Caotou."
Ran Feize shrugged: "I just doubt it can be doubted. It's always right to be careful."
Su Xiaopei didn't speak, Ran Feize looked at her and touched her head: "Is Qin Zhaotou the same age as your father?"
"Almost." Su Xiaopei had no energy.
"You think of your father?"
"He is indeed like my father, conscientious and conscientious, and likes to be a policeman very much."
"Catch fast."
"Well, I really like the job of catching fast." Su Xiaopei subconsciously glanced at the direction of the bedside, there was no bedside table, let alone a picture of his father.
"I know Qin Zhaotou has always taken good care of you."
Su Xiaopei nodded: "I see, strong man. I won't be negligent because of empathy, I mean, I won't take it lightly because of this. Although I really don't want to be him, all the brothers in the yamen are actually pretty good, Liu Hibiki was very nice to me, too. I get it, strong man."
"Okay, go to bed earlier. Tomorrow I will go to the yamen and ask them to find someone to take us to Changfu, and they say that it is not appropriate to visit the house without any relatives and no reason, because I am afraid that the Changfu will not greet you. The interested people in the yamen will naturally take the initiative to help. .We do things according to plan, take your time, and they will naturally let them show their legs."
Su Xiaopei agreed. Go to bed early in the night, but not much sleep. When she returned to her hometown, she was a little confused, thinking about her days in Ning'an City, and her work in the government office. Here, there are people from Du Chengming. She also received the English letter here. Where was Du Chengming at that time? So far away, did he hand over the letter to let her see it? She thought of Liu Xiang's normal expression that night, and he asked her what happened.
Su Xiaopei rolled over and closed his eyes, the two innocent girls in Wuzhen who had died unjustly came to mind, with Liu Xiang's sentence "what happened", Su Xiaopei felt very uncomfortable.
The next day, Su Xiaopei got up in a lethargic mood, Ran Feize touched her chin and looked at her for a long while: "The girl is getting more and more involved in the play."
"Shouldn't this situation show distress?"
"I act like I feel bad for some girls?"
"Probably not." She was upset and in no mood to use it.
"Then I'll feel bad when the girl is used." Ran Feize was serious, but he taught Su Xiaopei to smile. It's so disgusting, it's so disgusting that she's energized.
The two had breakfast together. Ran Feize went to the government office to say hello as he said yesterday. Qin De was busy with official business and couldn't get away from it. Bai Yulang reluctantly refused to go, but Liu Xiang agreed and led another named Li. The official messenger of wood accompanied them.
Changfu was very surprised to see them coming. You Qi was even more startled when he saw Su Xiaopei. Of course they also knew about Luo Linger's suicide note, which clearly stated that she killed this girl Su, and now that the great living person is in front of her eyes, it is naturally unexpected.
The two sides were polite for a while, the Chang family did not dare to neglect Su Xiaopei, they invited her to sit and served tea, and answered all her questions one by one. Chang Jun even returned home from the shop after receiving the news and came to say hello. Su Xiaopei said something irrelevant. When asked about Luo Linger's suicide note, she said, "That's what I came for. Miss Luo's suicide note is strange. I'm obviously not dead. Why did she carry this murder charge?"
Everyone in the room was puzzled. Su Xiaopei looked around and said, "I suspect that Miss Luo was harmed by someone."
Everyone in the Chang residence was surprised, Liu Xiang frowned, "Miss Su." She didn't say that before coming.
Su Xiaopei waved his hand at him, signaling to be safe. At this time, Chang Jun asked, "Who was it?"
Su Xiaopei shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It's just that I was kidnapped and the culprit was unknown, and Miss Luo was doing well in other places, but she died suddenly, and she was wrongly accused of killing me. Naturally, there is something strange here. Maybe we are involved in the same thing. I came here today to see where Miss Luo lived before her death, and then to see her grave. "
The remarks were reasonable, and the Chang family hurriedly agreed. She took Su Xiaopei to see Luo Linger's room. Mrs. Chang sighed very much: "We haven't touched Linger's room."
Su Xiaopei nodded and looked around carefully. Pine and bamboo screens, bonsai dwarf trees, and blue-edged bed nets. Su Xiaopei inquired about Luo Linger's daily life, and asked about Luo Linger's words and deeds after Luo Kui was imprisoned. Just as he was talking, a figure flashed outside the window, vaguely a young woman, Su Xiaopei was startled. Jump. Others saw it too, and the timid maid even called out, "Miss Biao."
Ran Feize quickly blocked in front of Su Xiaopei, while Chang Jun and Liu Xiang chased out at the same time, but saw no one. The two chased for a while, and Chang Jun grabbed a passing servant and asked who was there. The servant shook his head in surprise.
Chang Jun frowned tightly, a little embarrassed, and said to Liu Xiang, "Maybe it's my eyesight."
Liu Xiang didn't say a word, but his face was not good-looking. If he was the only one who saw it, he would be dazzled, how could several people see it.
After returning to the house, everyone deliberately avoided talking about it, but Li Mu was already a little nervous and asked, "Do you still go to the tomb?"
Su Xiaopei still went. The grave was cleaned up very cleanly, and there were some small flowers blooming on the green space next to it, which was very beautiful. Su Xiaopei bowed to the grave with everyone, and then said that she wanted to sit here alone. Everyone looked at each other, but still stood back. Waiting for her in the pavilion at the top of the hill.
Everyone watched as Su Xiaopei sat down cross-legged, very close to the grave, as if he was talking, saying a few words, then pausing, saying a few words, pausing for a while, as if chatting with the tomb. The timid girl did not dare to look, and turned her head away. Li Mu suddenly pointed at the bamboo forest beside the grave and exclaimed "Ah". In that forest, standing in a trance, there was a slender figure of a woman in a blue dress. Standing far away, she couldn't see what she looked like, but it was very similar to the figure that flashed past Luo Linger's window in Changfu. She seemed to be looking down at Su Xiaopei, but Su Xiaopei was still talking to the grave without realizing it.
Ran Feize pointed his toes and rushed in the direction of Su Xiaopei. When he was halfway through, he alarmed the woman in the forest, and the figure disappeared suddenly, just as suddenly as it appeared. Everyone turned pale, and then saw that Ran Feize rushed to Su Xiaopei's side and pulled her up. He was talking to Su Xiaopei and pointed to the woman's position in the bamboo forest, but Su Xiaopei seemed to be at a loss and shook his head.
After that, the two seemed to be arguing for a few words. Ran Feize was very unhappy, and with his hands behind his back, led Su Xiaopei back to the pavilion at the top of the hill. When Su Xiaopei came back, he was still muttering: "In broad daylight, where is the ghost, you are exaggerating too much."
Ran Feize turned around abruptly: "Is it still making trouble? Willful. I won't let you go out indiscriminately in the future."
Su Xiaopei pouted and stopped talking.
It's hard for everyone to say anything else, the scene just now was indeed a little scary, so I just packed up my things and went home.
Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize returned to their residence and invited Liu Xiang and Li Mu to the house for tea, thanking them for their hard work. After a few words, Bai Yulang ran over. He was here to join in the fun to find out what they had seen today. Listening to Li Mu's vivid description of today's situation, he repeatedly thanked that he did not follow.
Su Xiaopei looked behind him and suddenly shouted, "Miss Luo."
Bai Yulang jumped up with a loud "wow", and when he looked back, there was nothing. He jumped with anger, but he didn't dare to scold Su Xiaopei who was playing tricks on him, because Ran Feize was staring at him. Bai Yulang was not convinced, and after holding it for a long time, he could only say: "Big sister, don't do this."
Liu Xiang also said: "Don't joke like this girl, it's disrespectful to the dead."
Su Xiaopei glanced at him, straightened his face, put down the cup in his hand, and coughed: "I'll talk to you all about the business."
"Eldest sister suddenly becomes serious and scary as if it's haunted." Bai Yulang muttered, and was slapped by Li Mu.
Su Xiaopei said: "This is haunted, it must be fake. The so-called "thinking in the day and dreaming in the night" is right. I am probably panicking because of this illness, and I have returned to Ning'an City again. The place where the robbery was robbed is easy to think of Luo Linger, so it has a nightmare. Today in the Changfu, there is also a maid who said that since Luo Linger's body was brought back, she dreamed of Miss Biao. But we all know that there is no such thing in this world. Hell."
Bai Yulang shook his head, as if to say that he didn't know. Li Mu patted him again.
Su Xiaopei ignored him and continued, "What we saw today must be someone pretending to be a ghost."
"Why?" Li Mu asked.
"Because Luo Linger was wronged. She was killed by someone."
Liu Xiang frowned: "How do you say this girl?"
"After Luo Kui's death, it is reasonable for Luo Linger to have no relatives, so she should rely more on the Chang family, but she left the Chang family and went to Pingzhou City, a long way to settle down. Why is this? Although my father committed a crime The murder case happened because of her, but she has nothing to live with, and she is a girl. It is better to stay in Changfu when you go to Pingzhou City to be lonely and helpless. We also met today, and the people in Changfu are not mean. Yes, it's not bad for her. So, when she leaves Changfu to go to Pingzhou City, there must be someone there who makes her more trustworthy and more trustworthy."
This inference is quite reasonable, and everyone nodded.
Su Xiaopei continued: "That person must have met in Ning'an City. Luo Linger has never left this city, and such a person who trusts them will not meet by chance, but only by chance. Therefore, they must have known each other before. It's been a long time. When she arrived in Pingzhou City, someone did take care of her. I don't think it was the old acquaintance from Ning'an City, but other friends entrusted by the old acquaintance. But when Luo Linger died, the old acquaintance They should have been together for a while, maybe before they died, because I saw Luo Linger's residence, where flowers and plants were placed. Her room in Changfu was mostly pine, bamboo and green wood. She liked the color of blue and blue, and she was in Pingzhou. In the city, not long after her father passed away, she must be depressed and sad, and how can she have time to play with flowers and plants, the flowers in the house must have been given by someone, I hope she can look happy. Unfortunately, these flowers and plants It didn't save her life."
She sighed and said again: "In front of that grave, there are the same flowers planted on the side, that must be the old friend who pity her for her death, and accompany her with flowers."
"What does that have to do with being haunted?" Bai Yulang asked.
"You think, an old acquaintance who cares about her must know that she will not commit suicide, and she must seek an opportunity to avenge her. She killed me in her suicide note, because of this suicide, but I am not dead, and today I sent it myself. When I came to the door, the reason for seeking death in the suicide note was naturally wrong. Today, there are two other officials who are going together, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the person who wants to sue. Just walk by the window and follow us to the cemetery. , take the opportunity of talking to Miss Luo alone to scare everyone. You think, if you want to scare me, why didn't I see it? She should have jumped on me and hurt me, right?"
No one answered, and no one had encountered a ghost, so it was hard to answer.
Su Xiaopei thought for a while and said, "I think it won't be long before this haunted thing spreads in the city, and there will be rumors that Luo Linger died unjustly, so the grievances linger. Don't care? This is the purpose of that person pretending to be a ghost."
No one said anything, Su Xiaopei observed while talking, and sighed, "This girl Luo Linger is really pitiful, she couldn't love her before her death, her father died tragically, she didn't even have a confidant, she was forced to die in a foreign land, that right She is affectionate and righteous, but she can't help her at all. Her life is gone, so what about the injustice? "
Liu Xiang's face was a little sad. Su Xiaopei took a sip of tea in silence. Sometimes, lies are the most convincing.
