it didn't chase you
After listening to Chen Ergou's story, Xie Bangui asked him something that almost made him cry: "Didn't that dead man chase you?"
"My biological father!" Chen Ergou's eyes almost popped out of his head: "If it chases me, will I still be alive?"
Xie Bangui poured him another glass of wine: "Have you been back? How is the land security guard doing?"
"Do I still dare to go back? I hated my parents for not giving me two more legs!" Chen Ergou said with a sad face: "Before I came, I heard that all the brothers in Wei had been there, and the land security guard was not dead.
But I was so frightened that I lost consciousness and couldn't say anything clearly. Xu Ji's boss and his assistant are both dead, and they have been dead for more than half a month, and their bodies are almost completely rotten."
"Have you been dead for so long?" Xie Bangui frowned: "Do you know how he died? Also, did Xu Ji not do business for more than half a month?"
"The most infiltrating place is right here!" Chen Ergou said mysteriously: "Someone bought a comb at Xuji yesterday during the day! The boss personally entertained them. Do you think there are infiltrating people? That's a ghost selling it.
What a thing! Nowadays, there are all kinds of things posted on the street, and no one dares to use Xu Ji’s comb, for fear of being possessed by ghosts! "
After hearing this, Xie Bangui said: "Old Chen, you go back first! Don't worry, it'll be fine. The ghost didn't chase you that night, which means he has no grievances against you and won't come after you. If you still don't worry,
Let’s go to the crossroad tonight to change some paper money and talk about it.”
Chen Ergou said with lingering fear: "Brother, what case are you investigating? How did you come across those things?"
Xie Bangui said with a smile: "It's definitely not a human case. No matter how many cases there are, don't ask."
"Then you are busy, you are busy..." Chen Ergou ran away in a hurry without even saying any polite words.
Not long after he left, Xie Bangui said to Fatty Gao: "I always feel that what happened last night was not that simple. I'll go out and have a look. You stay in the house and don't move, and wait for me to come back. Don't worry, I'll be sure before dark
return."
"Then you have to come back soon!" Fatty Gao sent Xie Bangui to the door like a little wife, and then hid back in the house with the hammer in his arms.
When Xie Bangui came back, Fatty Gao went directly to greet him: "Brother, something happened. There is a scholar in Jiazi's room who has a strange disease. His belly is as bulging as a pregnant woman..."
Xie Bangui was stunned and said: "Then we should see a doctor!"
"The doctor came and was scared away. A ball of hair came out of the scholar's mouth. The doctor has never seen this before..." Fatty Gao said: "Gu Qian has come to see you several times. If you don't come back,
I just can’t hold it anymore.”
Xie Bangui asked as he walked: "What did he want from me? I'm not a doctor. Besides, why didn't he send that scholar outside for treatment?"
"Isn't this a case of emergency treatment?" Fatty Gao lowered his voice and said, "The scholar who got sick is unusual. His name is Zhu Guangtong, the eldest grandson of Duke Cheng's Zhu family. If the Zhu family knew that something happened to his grandson in the Imperial College,
, it’s not like the Imperial College was set on fire. They won’t send anyone out until the last moment.”
While the two were talking, Gu Qian came over anxiously: "Master Xie, I've found you! Come with me quickly!"
Gu Qian couldn't help but pulled Xie Bangui into Room A, No. 5, pointed at the scholar lying on the bed with his eyes white, and said, "You have to show him quickly!"
Xie Bangui glanced at Gu Qian and saw the other person's expression as if he had left everything to you. He hugged his shoulders and stood beside him. Without saying anything more, he sat in front of the bed, opened the man's mouth and looked inside.
.
Then he saw a lump of dark stuff stuck in Zhu Guangtong's throat, billowing out little by little as he breathed.
Xie Bangui put two fingers into Zhu Guangtong's mouth and took out the thing. Sure enough, it was a ball of sticky hair.
Xie Bangui flicked his hair on the ground and stretched out his hand to press Zhu Guangtong's stomach.
Zhu Guangtong's swollen belly sank into a small pit along his fingers, and then bounced back on its own after a short time. It looked like he had pressed his hand on a cotton bag.
Xie Bangui called a servant over: "Collect a few more combs, either horn or wood. They must be used by someone. The longer they are used, the better. Go quickly."
Zhu Guangtong was quite popular in the Imperial College. When they heard that they were going to treat his illness, many people came directly to bring combs to his door. However, some cleverly hid the comb quietly, saying that the old comb was worn out.
Actually, I wanted to see how Xie Bangui treated his illness with a comb, so that I could be just in case.
Over there, Xie Bangui ordered his servants to put all the thirty or forty combs he had collected into a pot and simmered them over high heat for half an hour. A layer of yellow grease gradually floated in the pot, and the strong smell of hair oil drifted down the wind.
It was so far away that all the onlookers covered their noses.
Xie Bangui took out a bowl of water from the pot, handed it to the servant and said, "Feed him to drink?"
"Master, is this okay?"
Xie Bangui said coldly: "If you don't believe me, go find a doctor yourself!"
"Master Xie said it can be done, it can definitely be done!" Gu Qian grabbed the bowl and fed it to Zhu Guangtong himself.
After a while, Zhu Guangtong vomited violently, and clumps of hair came out of his mouth. His servant was so panicked that he stretched out his hands and kept pulling it out. After a while, Zhu Guangtong had another bout of diarrhea and passed it out.
His hair was all black and messy.
Zhu Guangtong struggled for half an hour before he finally managed to hold back his bulging belly. He also woke up and lay on the bed and said feebly: "Thank you brother for saving your life. When Guangtong gets better, I will definitely come and say thank you."
.”
Xie Bangui nodded and said: "Brother Zhu, let's take a rest first. I still have some things I want to ask Brother Zhu. I will definitely visit you later."
Zhu Guangtong's servant came over and said, "Master Xie, what should I do with those hairs?"
"You don't have to worry about it, just leave it all to me!"
"Then thank you, sir." The servant was overjoyed and bowed before handing the basin and bucket to Xie Bangui.
After Xie Bangui took care of the unruly hair, he went to Gu Qian again: "Master Gu, the Imperial College is in troubled times right now. I think it would be better to suggest to the two academics that we should give the scholars a holiday first! Let them go home first.
I'll wait for a while and then I'll bring it back when things are understood."
Gu Qian seemed to have known that Xie Bangui was going to say this: "I also suggested this to Xuecheng. However, it doesn't work! Once the rules of the Imperial College cannot be broken, even in the year of Geng Yin's rebellion, the Imperial College also
No
Classes had been suspended, but Xuecheng did not dare to make such an opening. Secondly, few of these scholars live in the capital, and most of them live in the south of the Yangtze River. The delay of a few months is not a big deal. What if the spring examination is delayed?
It’s not going to be good.”
Xie Bangui nodded and said, "In that case, I won't say more."
Gu Qian didn't seem to want to talk to Xie Bangui anymore, so he said a few polite words and left in a hurry.
Xie Bangui leaned back on the bed: "Why do I feel that something is wrong? There are so many things going on in the Imperial College, why are you still clinging to the rules?"
Fatty Gao scolded: "Those poor people are all stupid. They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of not losing a good reputation. Their names are of no use. Who cares except those poor people who are studying? They are not afraid of death. They are not afraid of death."
They deserve it."
