After hearing this, I was startled, what is the matter of Master Xiao Sidian looking for me? You know, Si Dian is even higher than Master Chenghuang. Even if you find someone to do errands, you shouldn't find me. I was suspicious, but I didn't continue to ask more.
I asked a lot of questions just now, but the kid didn't say anything.
Asking again was a question for nothing. In the back hall, the kid asked me and Erhu to wait in the living room.
While there was no one, Erhu asked me, "Xiaosheng, this mansion is not much different from ours, but the environment here is a bit more gloomy."
I said to Erhu: "The underworld is the world of ghosts, and the world is the world of living people, so the difference is not big, and it's normal."
Erhu nodded, and then asked, "Xiaosheng, what do you say to the lord of the underworld, what are you looking for?"
I shook my head and waited for about ten minutes. I saw a man in official uniform walking in. He looked like he was only thirty years old. Of course, officials in the underworld cannot be judged by their looks, because Some people died at the age of twenty, but after 30 years of staying in the underworld and becoming the underworld official, it means that he is fifty years old, but his appearance is still twenty years old.
When Xiaosidian came in, I called Erhu to stand up quickly, we owed ourselves, and screamed respectfully: "My lord."
Xiao Si Dian smiled and said, "Master Zhang, you don't have to be so polite. The officer is looking for you because he has something to ask for."
I smiled and said, "My lord, you are serious."
Xiao Sidian quickly let the little ghost serve tea, sitting opposite him, I could feel a faint coercion, this may be the distinction between the official positions of the underworld officials, I wanted to see the appearance of the underworld officials, but I waited to see When I went there, I found that his face seemed to be covered with a layer of dark clouds, and I couldn't see through it at all.
I was stunned for a few seconds. This may have been what Daochang Ning said. My Taoism is still too shallow, and some people's faces are beyond my ability to see through.
Xiao Sidian said: "No, Master Zhang, the officer did encounter a difficult matter, and it will not be resolved for a while. I have also heard that Master Zhang helped Song Chenghuang solve many unjust cases in the Yang Dynasty, so the officer also thought. Please Master Zhang to help this officer solve a case."
I looked at Xiao Sidian and asked, "What case?"
Xiao Sidian's expression was a bit dignified: "The ins and outs of this case, the officer has not been able to figure out for the time being. The case is in Lindong City. The cause of the incident is an old train from the Republic of China. The train has been abandoned. The villagers always hear the train moving forward in the middle of the night. What's more terrifying is not this. The frightening thing is that basically every night, people are crushed to death by the train."
I was shocked when I heard it, is there anyone driving a train in the middle of the night
Erhu's expression became more solemn, and Erhu asked: "My lord, is there a ghost driving?"
Xiao Si Dian continued: "This official has also sent ghost messengers to investigate, but none of the ghost messengers have come back. That's why this officer was worried. It happened to hear of Master Zhang's recent fame in the underworld, so I wanted to invite Zhang. Your lord is here to solve this case."
After Xiao Sidian finished speaking, he stared at me, his eyes serious, as if waiting for my response. This case must be a very weird case, and it is also very dangerous.
Perhaps seeing me being silent, Xiao Sidian asked me, "Master Zhang, do you have any concerns?"
I nodded, and didn't hide it much.
Xiao Sidian sighed and said: "Master Zhang, it is normal for you to have concerns. So, if you take this case and crack it, the officer can protect you and take the post of Master Bo. You are optimistic. ?"
I don't have much idea about getting promoted from the underworld.
I am also curious about this case.
Seeing that Xiao Si Dian had finished saying this, Erhu reminded me: "Xiaosheng, please agree."
I blanked my eyes and did not reply immediately. Xiao Sidian said again: "Master Zhang, since you served as the underworld official of the underworld, you have cracked many cases for the underworld, and this official is also in his eyes. If Master Zhang is embarrassed, then the official will not be embarrassed anymore."
"Returning to your lord, that's not what you meant to be an official."
"Then did you agree? The officer has thanked you here now. If you need the cooperation of the officer then, just say, the officer will definitely help."
I:…
Xiao Si Dian, this is totally trying to catch up. Seeing me let go, he immediately pushed this case to me.
As soon as I looked down, I didn't continue to refuse, and said, "My lord, I can't guarantee that this case can be solved, but I can go ahead."
Xiao Si Dian immediately laughed and said, "Okay, I would like to thank Master Zhang for this."
I'm polite.
When we left the palace of the Xiaosidian, we walked out, and Erhu said to me, "Xiaosheng, what a great thing, why don't you agree?"
I said to Erhu: "Brother Erhu and Xiaosidian's case cannot be solved. If we go, it may not be successful, and hearing him say that, the case must be very complicated."
I was talking to Erhu, and after walking a few steps, a little ghost's shout suddenly came from behind. We stopped, and the little ghost stepped forward and said, "Master Zhang, you forgot to take the file."
I screamed, and I'm sorry.
The kid smiled and said, "If you are an adult, I hope that the adult will handle the case smoothly this time."
I said yes.
Erhu and I left the underworld and arrived at Ma Chengqiang's house.
Erhu became even more excited, and said to me: "Xiaosheng, if the case is solved this time, you will be Lord Bo."
I said lightly: "Brother Tiger, don't be happy too early."
Erhu touched the back of his head and smiled stupidly.
I said to Erhu: "It's too early, you go to bed first."
Erhu responded and went back to his room.
I took out the dossier and looked at it. There are not many things recorded in the dossier. Except for those mentioned by Xiao Sidian, who were killed by the train, none of the souls belonged to the underworld. All the souls seemed to be for no reason. Is missing.
In addition, the ghost messengers sent out are also gone. This case is not easy to handle.
That train must also hide some unspeakable secrets.
After I read the dossier, it was written with the name and age of the deceased, but there was nothing else.
I lay down and thought for a while, then fell asleep in a daze.
In the morning of the next day, I first took out the Tao Te Ching and read it a hundred times, and then came out from the house at about eight o'clock. Xiao Qi got up early and gave me a sweet smile when I saw me. Smiled and called Xiao Qi.
I took out my phone and checked Lindong City. Lindong City is located in the city next to our county seat. It takes about an hour or two by train.
I was looking at the phone when the phone rang suddenly.
