After half double-hour, a village outside Yang Qiu County. 半个时辰之后,阳丘县外的一处村落。 Li Mu cannot block Zhang Shan finally, can only let him together with. 李慕最终还是没能拦住张山,只能让他一起跟过来。 Zhang Shan stands in the village, looks at Li Mu, is surprised the different way: „This is not your area of jurisdiction, what case do you come here?” 张山站在村口,看着李慕,诧异道:“这也不是你的辖区,你来这里查什么案子？” Li Mu has not replied immediately, the vision looks to the declining dwelling of village. 李慕没有立刻回答,目光望向村口的一座破落宅院。 Lin Wan then lived here, more than ten years ago, Lin and Zhao were the local wealthy people, two people engagements, set at that time. 林婉生前便住在这里,十余年前,林家和赵家都是本地的富户,两人的婚约,也是那时候定下的。 Then the Lin business failure, gradually declines, the business of Zhao actually does enjoys the sight and sound of the wind whipping up the water, the family property expanded more than ten times, in entire Yang Qiu County, is the wealthy and prominent family wealthy and powerful family. 而后林家生意失败,逐渐败落,赵家的生意却做得风生水起,家业扩大了十几倍,在整个阳丘县,也算是高门大户。 Zhang Shan stands side Li Mu, but also is mumbling: „Felt strange, you said that must investigate, does not wear the official's costume, does not make me put on, added that this case is very dangerous, here has what danger......” 张山站在李慕身旁,还在嘟囔:“奇怪了,你说要查案,又不穿公服,也不让我穿,还说这件案子很危险,这里有什么危险的……” Li Mu are not many to the Zhang Shan explanation, but said: „Your anything let alone, anything do not ask, follows well in my side......” 李慕并没有给张山解释太多,只是道:“你什么也别说,什么也别问,跟在我身边就好……” „Good good, today you saved me, you decide......” Zhang Shan to shrug, really no longer spoke. “好吧好吧,今天你救了我,你说了算……”张山耸了耸肩,果然不再说话。 Before Li Mu arrives at the dwelling that place declines, the courtyard was sphered by a fence, in the institute has lived the weed, the front gate also got up lock, obviously very long no one has come. 李慕走到那处破落的宅院前,院子被一圈篱笆围住,院内已经生了杂草,院门也上了一把锁,显然已经很久没有人来过了。 „......” “吱呀……” While Li Mu planned when finds the person to inquire, the front door of next door opens suddenly, an old man arrives in the courtyard, saw outside to stand two strangers, the doubts said: „Who you are, does?” 正当李慕打算找人询问时,隔壁的屋门忽然打开,一名老者走到院子里,看到外面站了两名陌生人,疑惑道:“你们是什么人,来干什么的？” Li Mu walks to go forward, says with a smile: „Elderly man, I am the Lin Wan distantly related cousin, is the Lin Wan cousin lives here?” 李慕走上前,笑道:“老人家,我是林婉的远房表亲,请问林婉表妹是住在这里吗？” „You were relative gracefully......” old person hears word, the complexion are more moderate, sighed, said: „Two months ago, disappears gracefully, Zhao had also looked afterward, had not found by the present, no one knows where she went to......” “你是婉婉的亲戚啊……”老人闻言,脸色缓和了许多,却又叹了口气,说道:“两个月前,婉婉就不见了,赵家后来也来找过,到现在也没有找到,谁也不知道她去了哪里……” Li Mu sets a surprised appearance, asked: „Was cousin missing?” 李慕做出一副吃惊的样子,问道:“表妹失踪了？” The old person said pitifully: „If still, must marry Zhao gracefully immediately, marries Zhao, has the second half lifetime may be enjoys happiness, what a pity, what a pity, where also does not know her now, but also been living......” 老人可惜道:“如果婉婉还在,马上就要嫁到赵家了,嫁到赵家啊,后半辈子可都是享福的,可惜,可惜了,也不知道她现在在哪里,还活没活着……” Li Mu does not need to ask again, he has known he wants to know. 李慕不用再问下去,他已经知道了他想要知道的。 Lin and Zhao indeed have the engagement, by the present, he inquires from this old man mouth, with Lin Wan said that all tallies. 林家和赵家的确有婚约,到现在,他从这老者口中打听到的,和林婉说的,全都吻合。 In other words, Zhao Yong to climb up prefecture assistant this big tree, kills the unmarried wife incident, most likely real. 也就是说,赵永为了攀上郡丞这棵大树,杀害未婚妻子一事,十有八九是真的。 Li Mu has not stayed for a long time in this place, said goodbye with the old man, left here. 李慕并没有在此地久留,和老者告别,离开了这里。 At present is most difficult, is how also Lin Wan justice. 眼下最难的,是如何还林婉一个公道。 Let her go to the yamen to ask for redress by the body of ghost, naturally is incorrect, did not say that this case yamen does dare to meet, even received, assumes to report above, the big probability will be depressed. 让她以鬼魂之身去衙门伸冤,自然是不行的,不说此案衙门敢不敢接,就算接下了,呈禀到上面,大概率还是会被压下。 So long as prefecture assistant is willing to shelter Zhao, in Northern Prefecture, Zhao then unmanned active. 只要郡丞愿意庇护赵家,在北郡,赵家便无人能动。 At present, Li Mu has not thought of the appropriate solution. 眼下,李慕还没有想到合适的解决办法。 Li Mu considers only the ponder to walk, Zhang Shan follows behind him, finally cannot bear ask: „Li Mu, when you have a cousin, how before to have heard?” 李慕只顾沉思走路,张山跟在他后面,终于忍不住问道:“李慕,你什么时候有个表妹的,以前怎么没听说过？” Li Mu along with tastes: „Just recognized......” 李慕随口道:“刚认的……” Zhang Shan came the interest immediately: „Is good-looking?” 张山顿时来了兴趣:“长得漂亮吗？” „Also good......” “还行……” „Compared with boss?” “比头儿呢？” „Compared with.” “比不过。” „Was almost good, although the boss is good-looking, but others wholeheartedly are only cultivation, with you are not a passer-by, you cannot always think the boss, finally like Li Si sad sad......” “差不多就行了,头儿虽然长得漂亮,但是人家一心只为修行,和你不是一路人,你也不能总想着头儿,最后像李肆那样伤心难过……” When two people have not chatting, Lin Village, a short man stands before the Lin Wan old home, asked that the old man in not far away said: „Elderly man, isn't the Lin Wan miss at home?” 两人有一句没一句的闲聊时,林家村,一名身材矮小的男子站在林婉旧居前,问不远处的老者道:“老人家,林婉姑娘在不在家？” Old person flexure scratched the head, said: „Today how do so many people look gracefully?” 老人挠了挠头,说道:“今天怎么这么多人来找婉婉？” The dwarf man brow selects, asks: „Also have some people looked for her?” 那侏儒男子眉头一挑,问道:“还有人找过她吗？” The old men nod saying: „Two, said a moment ago is cousin gracefully, just walked......” 老者点头道:“刚才就有两个,说是婉婉的表亲,刚走……” On the dwarf face shows the smile, said: „We are the same places, couple of days ago did not disperse carefully, where they a moment ago toward?” 侏儒脸上露出笑容,说道:“我们本来是一起的,前两天不小心走散了,他们刚才往哪里去了？” The old men are pointing at a left road, said: „Shortly after on this direction, just walked, the words that you now pursue, should also be able to catch up.” 老者指着左边的一条路,说道:“就这个方向,刚走不久,你现在追的话,应该还能追上。” „Many thanks elderly man.” The dwarf man smiles to him, turns around to pursue to the direction that he refers. “多谢老人家。”侏儒男子对他笑了笑,转身向他所指的方向追去。 The old men look that his form disappears swiftly, mutters: „Leg looks very short, running so to be how quick......” 老者看着他的身影倏尔消失,喃喃道:“腿看着挺短,跑的怎么这么快……” ...... …… Returns to the road in county city, Zhang Shan presses not to live in the doubts in heart finally, asked that Li Mu said: „What case do you want to check?” 回县城的路上,张山终于按奈不住心中的疑惑,问李慕道:“你到底要查什么案子？” Since could not have hidden the truth from Zhang Shan, Li Mu said simply: „Lin Wan missing case.” 既然已经瞒不过张山,李慕干脆说道:“林婉的失踪案。” „How do you want to check this suddenly?” Zhang Shan or the doubts are puzzled: „Here is not your area of jurisdiction, had the case not to turn over to you to manage, moreover this type of missing case, had every year, majority was related with the evil monster ghost thing, the boss is not at now, how do we want to check?” “你怎么忽然要查这个？”张山还是疑惑不解:“这里不是你的辖区,发生了案子也不归你管,而且这种失踪案,每年有很多,大部分都和妖邪鬼物有关,头儿现在不在,我们要怎么查？” „It is not necessarily related with the monster ghost.” Li Mu asked: „Still remembers that what that old man did say a moment ago?” “不一定和妖鬼有关。”李慕问道:“还记得刚才那老头说什么了吗？” „What said?” “说什么？” „Lin Wan and Zhao Yong have the marriage.” “林婉和赵永有亲事。” „How had the marriage......” Zhang Shan to ask at a loss, later looked like realized anything, said hastily: „Wait, Zhao Yong, which Zhao Yong?” “有亲事怎么了……”张山茫然的问了一句,随后就像是意识到了什么,连忙道:“等等,赵永,哪个赵永？” Li Mu said: „You had just seen that Zhao Yong.” 李慕道:“你刚刚见过的那个赵永。” Zhang Shan said startled: „Won't he soon be the prefecture assistant daughter is related through marriage?” 张山愕然道:“他不是即将和郡丞的女儿结亲吗？” Li Mu nods, said: „Yes.” 李慕点点头,说道:“是的。” Is bailiff, saw the will of the people, Zhang Shan soon then realized anything, muttered: „Lin Wan was just missing, Zhao Yong is related through marriage with the prefecture assistant daughter, is disappearance of Lin Wan, Zhao Jia does?” 到底是捕快,见惯了人心,张山很快便意识到了什么,喃喃道:“林婉刚刚失踪,赵永就和郡丞女儿结亲,难道林婉的消失,是赵家做的？” Li Mu nods, said: „I also suspect.” 李慕点了点头,说道:“我也是这么怀疑的。” Zhang Shan thinks, the expression suddenly changes with deep veneration, said: „You should not want to take care this matter, do not blame me not to remind you, we are only small bailiff, takes care a doing things stealthily petty matter, even if did right by this clothes, this case, was not we can manage, let alone we, Sir county magistrate do not dare to manage......” 张山想了想,表情忽然变的肃然,说道:“你该不是想要管这件事情吧,别怪我没提醒你,我们只是小小的捕快,管一管偷鸡摸狗鸡毛蒜皮的事情,就算对得起这身衣服了,这案子,不是我们能管的,别说我们,县令大人也不敢管……” If can calm and steady sitting drift along in County Yamen, Li Mu is not willing to use own rice bowl even is the life takes risk. 如果能安安稳稳的坐在县衙混日子,李慕也不愿意用自己的饭碗甚至是生命去冒险。 Only pitifully, but also Lin Wan is just, is not only related to the ridge in Li Mu heart, but also in concerns him to assign/life the ridge. 只可惜,还林婉公道,不仅事关李慕心中的坎,还关乎他命里的坎。 Lin Wan is he condenses the first mortal form the key, strength of the resentment spirit mood, can be as good as Li Mu to hold several hundred over a thousand old women, the time to Li Mu is the life, he cannot hold on the old woman extremely street most time waste. 林婉是他凝聚第一魄的关键,一个怨灵的情绪之力,抵得上李慕扶几百上千个老太太,时间对李慕来说就是生命,他不能将大部分时间浪费扶老太太过马路上面。 This case bad risk is unusual, Li Mu does not want to implicate anyone. 此案凶险异常,李慕不想连累任何一个人。 He looks at Zhang Shan, shakes the head saying: „You go back, do not meddle this matter again.” 他看着张山,摇头道:“你回去吧,不要再插手这件事情。” Zhang Shan said surprised: „Do you really want to manage?” 张山吃惊道:“你真的要管？” „Must manage.” “非管不可。” Zhang Shan looked at him for a long time, said slowly: „Sometimes I really suspected, you are also that Li Mu that I know, probably since previous time has died a time, you changed, beforehand you timidest, no matter meets what case, can hide hides, will never provoke these on own initiative......” 张山看了他许久,才缓缓说道:“有时候我真的怀疑,你还是不是我认识的那个李慕,好像自从上次死过一次之后,你就变了很多,以前的你最胆小,不管遇到什么案子,都是能躲就躲,从来不会主动去招惹这些……” Li Mu said: „Is because has died one time, I am clear, how should live......” 李慕道:“就是因为死过一次,我才明白,到底应该怎样活着……” His voice falls, the Yin sad sound from resounds together suddenly behind. 他话音落下,一道阴恻恻的声音忽然从身后响起。 „Since has died one time, why has not treasured the life, can touch the thing that you cannot touch?” “既然已经死过一次,为什么还不珍惜性命,非要去碰你们碰不得的东西？”
