Chapter 760 Ghost Lord

Chu Huan was excited and said, "Old man, is it the language I said in your Guifang?"

He Xigu frowned slightly, thoughtful, and then said, "It seems, it seems, and it seems...and it seems not."

"How do you say this?" Chu Huan was stunned.

He Xigu said: "I understood half of what Dake said just now. It was indeed the language of our Guifang, but there are some other things I don't understand, but it may not be the language of our Guifang."

Chu Huan frowned and He Xigu said, "Dake mentioned the mind and change in his words, but he couldn't understand the whole sentence."

Chu Huan was so excited that he was a little disappointed, but He Xigu said: "But from the pronunciation, those are also the pronunciation of our Guifang dialect. It's just that we have lived in the Central Plains for hundreds of years and have switched to Chinese communication when we were our ancestors, so many Guifang people don't even speak Guifang dialect at all." Suddenly, they thought of something and said: "By the way, we, Daqimeng, have an old man who is nearly 80 years old and has dizzy eyes, but he seems to understand Guifang dialect."

"What you mean is that anyone who knows what I said just now?" Chu Huan raised hope.

He Xigu nodded and said, "Although we have forgotten many things in the Guifang, we have continued the Heavenly Sacrifice of Guifang. The Gui Lao who presided over the Heavenly Sacrifice is the most knowledgeable person in the clan, and there are also few people who are proficient in the Guifang language. The old man I am talking about is the Guifang Ghost Old Man. I believe he must understand what you meant just now."

Chu Huan nodded slightly and frowned slightly, "Since he is an old man in the ghost, he must be a person with a high status in your clan. Will he be willing to explain this sentence for me?"

He Xigu smiled and said, "Dak, don't worry, you are Dake of our Guifang people. As long as you can see the Gui Lao and I will come forward, he will definitely help you."

When Chu Huan heard this, he suddenly realized something. Seeing that the necklace on Hexigu’s neck was covered with wood carvings, he was about to ask, but at this moment, he heard footsteps. Two black-clothed jailers appeared in front of the prison gate, with swords around his waist, and one of them was holding a short stick in his hand and looked at the door, "You, and you, come out!"

He first pointed at Chu Huan with a stick, then pointed to Sun Zikong beside him. Chu Huan had already gotten up, but He Xigu also stood up and said solemnly: "They did not violate the king's law, why did they also arrest them in prison?"

The prison guard ignored it at all. One person opened the prison door and whispered, signaling Chu Huan and the others to come out. Chu Huan seemed to be very at odds. When they came out, Chu Huan turned around and saw He Xigu's face full of worry. He smiled slightly, indicating that He Xigu would not have to worry. The two locked the prison door again and pushed Chu Huan and the others behind.

Chu Huan and Sun Zikong walked along the road of the cell and looked at both sides from time to time. The Ministry of Justice's Prison is really not small, with many cells, but in the prison, many cells were empty and no one was included.

After a while, a wooden door appeared in front of him. Two jailers pushed Chu Huan and the others into the wooden door, but saw that it was actually a torture room.

When Sun Zikong saw the torture instrument inside, he was suddenly a little nervous. When he saw Chu Huan calm, he thought in his heart that Chu Huan was an imperial envoy of the court. As long as he showed his identity, he would be afraid that the prison guard would be scared to death, so he calmed down.

Chu Huan entered the torture room and saw a black-clothed jailer sitting behind a large table. Behind the jailer, two thick sabre jailer standing on the left and right, with ferocious faces and wide eyes. After Chu Huan and Sun Zikong came in, these people seemed to see a cat of a mouse, and their eyes became fierce.

"I am the prison leader here." The prison leader sitting behind the table had a cold face, but he actually squeezed out a smile, "I heard that you two intend to rebel, is there any such thing?"

Chu Huan said lightly: "I don't know where this crime of rebellion comes from? We walked on the street and were forcibly arrested by you in broad daylight. I really don't know where the crime is."

The prison head smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, things can always be explained clearly. We have always been careful about Guifangren. You will naturally suffer some grievances when you are with Guifangren." After a pause, he looked at Chu Huan and Sun Zikong, and then said, "Don't be afraid either. It's just a routine business, and I'll go through the motions. By the way, you don't seem to be from us Anyi, where did you come from?"

Chu Huan was so happy: "Xishan Road."

"Oh?" the prison head nodded slightly, "Xishan Road is adjacent to our Anyi Road. Are you going to Anyi to do business or something?"

When Chu Huan saw the prisoner and smiled, he felt that the man had other thoughts and smiled faintly: "It's not that he came to Anyi on purpose. I have a friend who has been away from home for many years and has no news, so our brothers came out to find him everywhere."

"Will be found?"

"Not yet." Chu Huan shook his head, "We don't know where he is, so we can only search everywhere."

The smile on the prison head's face became stronger, "In this way, your family doesn't know that you are in Taiyuan Prefecture?"

Chu Huan shook his head.

Sun Zikong was a little surprised, not knowing why Chu Huan deceived the prison guards.

The prison head got up, walked to Chu Huan, walked around, and finally said, "Where is the specific location of your family? Since you have been in prison, even if you leave, it will not take a few days. You must send someone to tell your family. It is better to send someone to tell them, so that they will not worry."

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, "No need. I'm going to hide it from you. When we came out, we had already told our family that we wouldn't be able to go back for a year or two. Since the adults said that they could go out in three or five days, they wouldn't have to send someone to tell them, so as not to worry about their families."

The prison head nodded slightly and sighed, "He is a person who knows the importance of the matter." Then he sighed, "Yes, since you are coming out to find the whereabouts of your friends, you can find someone well. Why are you entangled with Guifang people?"

"After my words, we are not familiar with Guifangren." Chu Huan shook his head and said, "We are just meeting each other. Seeing that they were dressed strangely, I was curious and wanted to ask them for some information. Maybe they had seen my friends but they didn't know."

The prison head smiled and said, "Are you really not familiar with Gui Fangren?"

“It’s really not familiar.”

The prison head smiled and said, "Since you are not familiar with each other, it doesn't matter. Let's just let you a few days of grievances and stay in this prison for two days. You don't have to worry. In two days, you will leave here without any harm." He ordered his subordinates: "Take them back first."

The two prisoners then stepped forward and left with Chu Huan.

When Chu Huan and the others left, a small door opened next to the interrogation room. The fat and fat Yang head slowly walked out from inside, still holding the black cat in his arms.

"Boss, you have already interrogated as you told me." The prisoner leaned over to Yangtou, "Do you see if these two people can succeed?"

Yang Tou looked at Chu Huan and the others leaving through the gap of the door that had not been closed, then shook his body and sat down on the chair, and said softly: "The matter needs to be done properly. Do you think there is any flaw in the words of these two people?"

"Boss, there is no need to worry so much." The prison head whispered: "I don't think they will lie, and if you listen to their voices, you are indeed not from our Taiyuan Prefecture."

Yang Tou narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and finally stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll go and say to the adults. If the adults agree, they will just send them out tonight."

...

Chu Huan returned to prison, and Hexigu felt relieved. After asking a few questions, he knew there was nothing wrong and then he felt at ease.

In the prison, I don’t know when or how long it took, the prison guard lit a torch and handed the rice bucket to the prisoners. The rice was naturally not delicious. Half a piece of steamed bun as hard as a stone, and half a bowl of rice porridge with clear water but no rice grains. He Xigu had something to do in his heart, and had no appetite and couldn’t eat it, but Chu Huan didn’t seem to dislike it. He ate the steamed buns and rice porridge cleanly. Seeing He Xigu silent, he looked worried, and couldn’t help asking: “Old man, what do you seem to be worried about?”

Hexigu smiled bitterly and said, "Dake, if the news of me being imprisoned in the prison spreads and my tribe members know, I'm afraid... I'm afraid something big will happen."

Chu Huanqi said, "Why did the old man say this?"

Hexigu shook his head, and wanted to speak but stopped.

When Chu Huan saw that Hexigu did not say anything, he did not ask. Hexigu was silent for a moment before sighing: "Dake, you have kindness to me, the Ghost Square people. This time I was arrested in prison again because of ours. I... Oh, I will tell you the truth..." He leaned close to Chu Huan's ear and lowered his voice: "There are cave masters in the sixteen caves in the Great Qi Mengshan Mountain. In fact, the Sixteen caves are the remaining Ghost Square people in the Sixteen Caves, and the Sixteen Caves have a common leader, called the Ghost Master!"

"Ghost Lord?" Chu Huan frowned, and suddenly understood something, "Can it be..."

"Not bad." He Xigu knew that Chu Huan had already understood, "I am the ghost master of the Sixteen Caves of Guifang."

Chu Huan had vaguely guessed that Hexigu was not low among the Ghost Square people, but he didn't expect that the old man suddenly became the leader of the Ghost Square people. Hexigu said in person, Chu Huan was really surprised.

"We sent people to negotiate several times, but they all returned in vain." Ghost Lord He Xigu said slowly: "I personally negotiated the transaction with Huang Zhigui. Now that Huang Zhigui has left, the Ministry of Revenue Department will not give us the food, so I can only come here in person."

"What the Ghost Lord just said is...!"

"I'm worried that if the tribe members knew that I was arrested and were in the Ministry of Justice, they would be taken advantage of." Hexigu looked solemn, "Dake, let's not hide it from you. Before I came to Taiyuan Prefecture City, someone transferred it to our Daqimeng Mountain."

"Men from the Huang family?" Chu Huan said immediately.

He Xigu was stunned, looked at Chu Huan in surprise, and finally nodded, "Dake guessed well, but in fact, Huang Zhigui went to Daqimeng Mountain in person to find me not long ago."

Chu Huan frowned, and he seemed to understand something, "The Ghost Lord meant that Huang Zhigui went to Daqimeng to find the ghost party... to form an alliance?"

He was already taking care of Hexigu's face, and he did not say rebellion, but only said he was an alliance.

He Xigu nodded and said solemnly: "There are three thousand brave warriors in my ghost side. The Huang family rebelled and wanted to turn these three thousand warriors into the knife in their hands."
