54. Chapter 54(1/2)

When Gao Yi heard this, his first reaction was that he was unhappy. Who would say that the other party was tainted with filthy aura as soon as he met?

But after being unhappy, he suddenly became excited and didn't care about being unhappy, and hurriedly asked, "Where do you start with this?"

Cui Buqu said, "I learned the art of pursuing mysteries by chance since I was a child. I could see the dark air on the forehead of Mingfu as soon as I came in. I was afraid that something happened yesterday or was entangled with something."

With the friendship between the two parties, Cui Buqu is undoubtedly talking too much. But after Gao Yi was frightened last night, he urgently needed to tell others about his inner feelings. He didn't care about so much, and he endured it again and again. He still couldn't help it, and simply obeyed his inner desire to talk.

He asked, "Did you encounter anything strange last night?"

Cui Buqun nodded: "Yes. To be honest, we came to pay homage to the Ming Mansion early in the morning, and it was precisely because of this."

Gao Yi: "Come on!"

Cui Bugu said a brief explanation of the ghost cry he heard last night.

Of course, he did not mention Feng Xiao's earth-shaking cry, nor did he mention the basin of foot washing water.

Gao Yi suddenly changed color: "Did you hear clearly what that ghost said?"

Cui Buqu: "Is it possible that I died miserably and had grievances or something? Did the Ming Mansion also heard it last night and was crying?"

Since he didn't hear it alone, Gao Yi's doubts dissipated a lot, and there was even a kind of gratitude that although he was unlucky, someone was taking care of it. He lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Not only heard it, I also saw it!"

Cui Buqu and Feng Xiao looked at each other, and looked surprised: "What do you look like? What a female ghost?"

Gao Yi: "I didn't see clearly. I was wearing white clothes, with disheveled hair, and a little tall and thin. My voice was neither male nor female. Then, the ghost appeared directly beside my bed. After I asked someone to come in, it disappeared again. Every time I just lie down, the sound would sound, far and near, saying that I was dead miserably and wanted me to avenge him."

Feng Xiao grabbed Cui Bugui's sleeve and showed a shocked look: "Husband, even the Ming Mansion is not spared. Will we hit another ghost when we go back tonight? Husband, Husband, can we change to inn?"

Cui Buqu said solemnly: "No wonder I set up a hexagram before going out. The hexagram shows great evil. It seems that this is not only a sign of great evil, but also a city of ghosts crying."

Gao Yi felt terrible when he heard the name and asked, "What does Wan Gui Cry City mean?"

Cui Buqu: "If there was a huge grievance twenty years ago, there was no imperial official in Qiemo City at that time, and the miserable lord had nowhere to appeal. Until now, over time, the resentment deepened, and Duan Qihu refused to leave. Therefore, we went to Xingjia for a banquet yesterday, and were also stained by the deep resentment on Duan Qihu's body, so naturally it would be easy to see filthy things!"

Gao Yi felt that this evil ghost was too unconscientious: "There is a source of injustice and a debt is a master. If it wants to take revenge, it should find enemies. What's the use of looking for us? It's simply unreasonable!"

Feng Xiao is responsible for supporting the role: "Husband, according to what you say, will the matter be even more serious?"

Cui Buqu: "Of course, I just said that if the case is not clarified for a day, the resentment will only deepen day by day. Last night it was not just Mingfu, but the entire inn where we were, and if this continues, even the luck of others will be affected. At that time, it will be the city of Ten Thousand Ghosts Crying."

Gao Yi was very concerned about one of the sentences and asked: "What will happen if luck is affected?"

Cui Buqu: "There is a low fortune at the worst and bad luck everywhere. The worst is a bad ghost. The mind is confused. The businessman's businessman's fortune affects the career, and the official's career affects the career."

Feng Xiao exclaimed: "Husband, then we have to be unlucky too? We are going to be so angry that we will be so angry that we will be so angry that we can't leave. If we can't leave, we don't care about them. We are not people here. Let them suffer from bad luck by themselves!"

Gao Yi:...

Feng Xiao: "Husband, I am really scared. If I continue like this, will I wake up at night and turn my head to see that it is not you who sleeps by the pillow, but a ghost?!"

Gao Yi:...

Cui Bugu nodded and glared at Feng Xiao, signaling him: Just about it, stop at the right time, and if you twist it, it will be too much.

Fengxiao: Look at Gao Yi being so scared. Wait for me to add a few more words to make him unable to sleep tonight.

The two of them exchanged eyes while talking. Although Gao Yi still had one or two doubts, he had already believed it in his heart.

If it were Duan Qihu, who started from scratch, it would be impossible to believe it so rudely, but Gao Yi originally believed in divination and was convinced of the good and bad. Most of the people in Qiemo City knew that if the three-in-law magistrate called a bad hexagram every day, he would not go out this day. What's more, this time he saw the ghost with his own eyes and was furious all night. At this moment, he was scared by the two of them, and he was really a little confused.

Cui Bu went to see the fire almost the same time, and said, "Have you ever thought about finding out the case and letting the deceased rest in peace? It is also possible to completely resolve the matter."

Gao Yi smiled bitterly: "You are so light, where to start the investigation, and who will start to investigate? Could it be that I went to the door to ask Duan Qihu if he had killed anyone? That case has been at least twenty years, and I have only been to Qiemo City for a few years, let alone the corpse, there is not even a file."

Cui Buqu: "Since the haunted people have been reported from the inn dry wells several times. If you send someone down to search the dry wells, you might find something. There are not only clever coroners in this world who can find clues from the corpse. This matter not only concerns the luck of the whole city, but also the luck of the Ming Mansion. You don't want to stay here for the rest of your life as a county magistrate, right?"

Gao Yi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Cui Buqu: "Taking this opportunity to investigate Duan Qihu, you can attack Xingmao and eliminate the two major forces in Qimocheng in one fell swoop. You can naturally get rid of the name of the puppet county magistrate and make great contributions. Not to mention promotion, it is possible to be granted a title of marquis."

Gao Yi shook his head repeatedly. He had been here for a few years and knew that Duan Qihu and Xingmao's families were deeply rooted. Unless the imperial court sent a large army to encircle and suppress, it would be impossible for him to kill one of them alone.

Cui Bulu said: "At the birthday party yesterday, Xingmao's subordinates poisoned Duan Qihu. The matter was exposed. Afterwards, Xingmao firmly denied it was related to him. Do you think Duan Qihu believes it? Xingmao must know that Duan Qihu does not believe it. In order to protect himself, he will choose to take action first. Gaoming Mansion, how do you know that the next one is not you?"

"Stop talking, stop talking, I can't..." Gao Yi suddenly woke up and said with a deep face, "You are not the nephew of the King of Kucha, who is you?"

Kucha has never been involved in the affairs of Qiemo City, so how could his nephew instigate Gao Yi to deal with Xingmao and Duan Qihu?

"I'm not a Kucha."

Cui Buqu said coldly: "Gao Yi, you are about to die, do you think you can stay out of trouble?"

He took out a small lacquered wood seal and threw it to Gao Yi. "Look at what this is."

Gao Yi picked it up half-believingly, but he didn't know it if he didn't look at it, and he was shocked when he saw it.

Nowadays, if there are officials who have multiple positions, they will usually make multi-faceted seals for easy carrying. For example, the seal that Cui Bulu threw to Gao Yi will have as many as six sides.

The seal is real. Cui Buqu’s identity in Zuo Yue Bureau is generally not exposed, but like Feng Xiao, he has many other official positions on him, but he looks quite intimidating at first glance.

For example, on two of the official seals of Cui Buqu, there are silver and green Guanglu Dafu and the Supervisor Censor respectively engraved with silver and green officials. The former has no real power. To put it bluntly, it is just a false reputation. However, the emperor usually grants such official positions to meritorious ministers. The latter is just established last year and has a low rank. Many people are still a little unfamiliar with it. However, Gao Yi heard from his friend in Beijing that this official position impeached corrupt officials and was in charge of the rituals of the three provinces and six officials. The broad power and the great power are unheard of. Although the Supervisor Censor had to salute many officials when he met many officials, his authority also made many people afraid of it.

Yinqing Guanglu Dafu is the third rank, while the Censor is only the eighth rank, and he is from high to low. Gao Yi did not go to Cui when he saw him, so he naturally had to bow.

But he suspected that he was dazzled. Not to mention high-ranking officials and officials who were slightly pampered and had no chance to come here to eat sand. How could a third-rank official suddenly appear?

Cui Bugu: "I went out to investigate the case and passed by here. In order to cover up my eyes, I walked as the nephew of the King of Kucha. Gao Yi, what questions do you have when you see this seal?"

Gao Yi was deceived once before, so he naturally refused to be fooled easily: "I dare to ask where you are going, and what case do you want to investigate? What does it have to do with me?"

What I mean is that even if you are the censor, you won’t be able to take care of me.

Cui Buqu looked at him coldly: "I am following the secret order of the court. I am going to Sanmi Mountain and the Western Turks. Do you understand?"

Gao Yi was not so obstructed that he had no idea that the court had many conflicts with the Turks in the past two years. Therefore, it was inevitable that it would be a big deal to be related to the Turks. He felt a stern and seemed to understand something.

Feng Xiao patted lightly on the table in front of him at the right time.

He didn't use much force, and Gao Yi didn't even hear any sound, but saw the whole table turn into powder, falling to the ground, and piled up powder on the mat.

Feng Xiao said gently and gently: "Gaoming Mansion, how do you see my skills?"

Gao Yi swallowed, and said difficulty: "It's rare in the world."

Feng Xiao smiled and said, "Who can send a master like me? Where can I go in the world? Even if you are a liar, don't you feel inferior? If Cui Langjun hadn't had a special status, how could I follow my side?"

When Cui Bu went to take out the official seal, Gao Yi had already believed it for seven or eight points. When Feng Xiao was shocked, he finally believed it.

He stood up and saluted and said, "I don't know what the husband calls him?"

Cui Bu goes: "Shan Chu, Cui, Cui Bu goes."

Gao Yi: "Mr. Cui Langjun, you are Shangguan and you are deadly. I shouldn't have asked more about it, but your errands seem to have nothing to do with Duan Qihu's case."

Cui Bugu: "Of course my errand has nothing to do with this place, but I don't want to wait until I return to find out that you are dead, and Lian Qiemo City has become a new Shanshan Kingdom."

Gao Yi laughed dryly and disagreed: "This is an alarmist statement."

"Absurd! Do you know that there are more than 5,000 armors hidden in Xingmao Mansion, and there are two granary warehouses, each hidden in a certain part of the city. Do you know that these things are enough to take over the entire Qiemo City?!"

Cui Bugu wanted to slap the table and increase his momentum, but Feng Xiao had just slapped the table into powder, so he had to suppress the other party with his voice and scold Feng Xiao in his heart.

Gao Yi was surprised and suspicious: "Impossible?"

Cui Buqu said coldly: "The court has always set up secret strongholds in Qiemo City to investigate information. Although it has not yet been found out where the two granaries in Xingmao are, the armor and armor are confirmed. At this point, you still have to deceive yourself, think he will not send troops, or do you think even if he sends troops, he will release you?"

Even if Xingmao did not want to break up with the Sui Dynasty, tie Gao Yi into rice dumplings and then give him gifts out of the city, Gao Yi, the official, could not be in charge of him. In the event of ten, he would be punished by the court. Losing the city and losing land has always been a serious crime.

Gao Yi's face suddenly turned pale.

He thought of the biography of Duan and Xing at yesterday's birthday party, and the undercurrent was surging. He thought of the evil heuristics he had taken in recent days, and the ghosts he had hit last night and the Wangui Crying City that Cui Bulu mentioned. He was unable to make up his mind for a while, and even a little bit unruly.

Cui Bulu had known that Gao Yi was an A Dou who could not be helped. On weekdays, he had already rolled up his sleeves and fucked without saying a word. But now that their reinforcements have not arrived, they can't get things done with these few people alone. After all, Gao Yi is still a court official, and he has a reputation and great righteousness, which can make things easier.

As long as Gao Yi is willing to cooperate.

"But even if Xingmao really carries armor, he may not be just thinking of starting a military force, right? After all, his ancestors were King Shanshan, so it was normal for these armors to be passed down to him. Besides, the place is in chaos and is close to the Turks, so he should also want to protect himself..." Gao Yi began to think of various reasons for Xingmao.

Cui Buqu: "I heard that Xingmao held a banquet and after three rounds of wine, he often sang the "Song of the Great Wind" by Emperor Gaozu of Han. The wind was blowing and the clouds were flying, and the power of the country was spreading and returning to his hometown."

Gao Yi said weakly: "This song is widely circulated and is sung by folk songs. Xingmao is familiar with Sinology and is no different from the Han people. This cannot explain anything."

Cui Bugu sneered: "I also heard that when Gaoming Mansion was just a first-time visit and the new official took office, Xingmao and Duan Qihu sent people to send a white fish and a treasure knife respectively."

The White Fish Classic records are based on the advice recorded by Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty and the advice Wu Zixu told my king in the Spring and Autumn Period, which implies that the white dragon fish clothes are dressed in the condom of noble people, hidden among the people.

The treasure sword was Duan Qihu's warning to Gao Yi, warning him that the strong dragon could not suppress the local snake, so that he would not be troublesome when he came here, otherwise he would still be able to kill even the officials of the Sui Dynasty.

Gao Yi was well-read in the scriptures, so he could naturally see the meaning of these two.

The latter's threat seems arrogant, but it is not a fear of being arrogant and showing off. The former is not expressing his ambitions to Gao Yi, but rather testing what reaction Gao Yi will react.

As timid as Gao Yi, although he wrote Xingmao's ambitions in his memorial, because the court had no time to take care of this at that time, he felt at ease to live here. He never thought of dealing with Duan Qihu and Xingmao and trying to get Qimo City back.

Xingmao found out Gao Yi's character through this matter, and then naturally became more unscrupulous and did not take him seriously.

Cui Buqu thought that it was a blessing that it was not his subordinates, otherwise he would have been thrown into the river to feed the fish.

If there is a ranking of experts who are scattered in life, Gao Yi will definitely be on the list, and he may be in the top three.

Gao Yi didn't expect Cui Buqu still remembers these things. He looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly, begging for mercy: "Cui Langjun's clarity is a clear understanding. It's not that I am unwilling to do my best. You have been here for a few days and you have seen it. Xingmao is powerful and Duan Qihu is arrogant. Instead of getting involved, it's better to wait for the two tigers to compete and then reap the profits!"

It seemed that he had some truth to think so, but Xingmao and Duan Qihu were not fools. Will they wait for Gao Yi to reap the profits?
To be continued...
