Chapter 41 The Incense Room
"Don't you really want to say something?" Gui Bugui said with a smile: "You said that if people outside knew that you had a life-saving talisman in private, they would watch them die. What would they think? I heard that most of the outside were prisoners in the prison at the beginning. You can try to reason with them, just see if they listen."
Speaking of this, Wu Zhen seemed to be able to see that he had been torn into pieces by the prisoners to vent his anger. He had been threatened by huge fear for several months, and now he has reached the critical point of collapse. Under Guibugui's threat, he had no choice. After taking a deep breath, he said, "The Fu Lian was given to me by the county magistrate, and he also asked me to stay here and look at the mansion for the county magistrate."
The county magistrate named Wu Zhen was originally a relative of Yan State. Since the establishment of the county in western Liaoning, Ji Qi's ancestors have been guarding here. Legend has it that when Yan State was broken, King Yan was happy to hide in the deep mountains of Liaodong. It was this Ji Qi who reported to Qin general Wang Jian that Wang Jian could enter the mountain to capture the last king of Yan State alive. After Qin unified the seven kingdoms, Ji Qi spent a lot of money to bribe Zhao Gao, so that his enemy country's clan continued to guard here.
About half a year ago, people suddenly began to die in the county magistrate's mansion. What's different from the rumors was that before the accident, Ji Qi had already left the county magistrate's mansion with his family overnight. He was in a hurry at that time, not to mention gold, silver, fine and soft, and even changed clothes. It was too late at that time that he could not find a suitable place to live, so he could only live in the military camp. That night, after Ji Qi entered the military camp, he immediately set up five hundred people to surround his original mansion. Not long after, someone began to die in the county magistrate's mansion.
At that time, Wu Zhen was still in the county magistrate's mansion. He was originally a confidant around Ji Qi. In addition, he was sleek and knew how to be in an accident, and he was highly valued by Ji Qi. But even so, when Ji County Magistrate escaped from the mansion, he did not say that he would take him with him. In Ji Qi's eyes, there were not many domestic slaves like Wu Zhen who were still loyal and could see the master's eyes, but they were not found.
Although Ji Qi did not take him away, Wu Zhen himself saw some tricks. This time, the county magistrate Ji took his family away in a hurry, and it seemed that there was some hidden information. Wu Zhen had not thought about the misfortune that happened later. He just thought that he didn't know which princes in the Central Plains were going to fight, so the county magistrate could not defend it and was about to abandon the city and escape. The county magistrate's mansion became a place of right and wrong. Ji Qi fled from the county magistrate's mansion. Before the soldiers were transferred, Wu Zhen also left the mansion.
Wu Zhen's life was not good either. Just when he ran back to his residence in Liaodong County, took his savings and started running all the way to the city gate. Just as Ji Qi arranged a soldier to run towards the county magistrate's mansion, Wu Zhen bumped into each other. The commander of the army recognized Wu Zhen and had dismounted to say hello. But this time he received Ji Qi's order to surround the county magistrate's mansion. If anyone dared to escape without permission, he would shoot and kill him immediately. With this, it would be enough to kill Wu Zhen's life.
Fortunately, this official had a good relationship with Wu Zhen, so he just arrested him and handed him over to the county magistrate. After seeing Wu Zhen again, Ji Qi did not do anything to him, but comforted him with kind words first, letting Wu Zhen follow him and keep pace with him.
Just after dawn, news of someone dying came from the county magistrate's mansion. The panicked people in the mansion rushed out of the gate and were about to flee in all directions. When the soldiers surrounding the county magistrate's mansion shot the front ones to death and forced the people behind back again.
Just when Wu Zhen was stunned, Ji Qi took him to the temporary military tent. County Magistrate Ji took out two bracelets made of animal bones and asked Wu Zhen to bring them. Manager Wu didn't know what happened, but he didn't dare to ignore the orders of the county magistrate. After bringing the bracelet, Ji Qi looked at him and said, "You are also an old man in my mansion. I need your help if you have something to do today."
The county magistrate was not so polite to talk to Wu Zhen, but at this time, Manager Wu's heart was pounding. Several people were shot to death outside, and when those people rushed out just now, they kept calling haunted. What happened inside? The county magistrate was so polite, and there was no good thing.
Ji Qi continued, "Now something happened in the county magistrate's office. I need someone to spread the things that happened every day in it. I was still worried about what to do about this matter. I happened to meet you. This is God's will, and you are the one who belongs."
Wu Zhen is not a fool. The people who rushed out of the county magistrate's mansion just now seemed to be desperate. I don't know how many people had died inside. Now I asked him to go back, which is no different from sending him into the tiger's mouth. He knelt down on the spot and begged the county magistrate to show kindness. However, the only words that asked for back were: "You may not be like this if you go in now. But if you don't go in, you will have no choice but to do whatever you want."
Wu Zhen has been serving Ji County Magistrate for so many years and knows his temper. Now Ji Qi is really interested in killing people. In desperation, Wu Zhen can only take one step and go back to see what happened in the mansion before talking about it. Fortunately, Ji Qi also said that the two bracelets he brought were treasures from Yan State back then. After taking them, he could not invade all evil spirits. Even if there are any evil spirits in the county magistrate's mansion, he will not be able to do so now.
After Wu Zhen pretended to rush out of the county magistrate's mansion, he was caught by the soldiers guarding the gate and threw him back. After returning to the county magistrate's mansion, Wu Zhen would send a bamboo slip every day to spread the things that happened in the county magistrate's mansion that day. Ji Qi was outside, and based on the information sent by Wu Zhen, he decided when to increase the population to the county magistrate's mansion. As the original people in the mansion died one after another, after the newcomers came in, Wu Zhen gradually became his current position.
After hearing Wu Zhen finish speaking, Gui Bugui giggled and said, "It's like this now, don't leave anything. Once you say it, what's going on with lottery draws and offering gods? This wasn't what you did with your county magistrate?"
In front of Gui Bugui, Wu Zhen could not hide anything. After sighing, he looked up at Gui Bugui and said, "When I just came back, I was worried every day. However, as the days went by, it was really like what County Magistrate Ji said, most of the people in the County Magistrate's Mansion died, and I was fine. After a long time, I also discovered a rule that only after the hour of You, people who were single are prone to accidents. I was also afraid that the newly added person would rebel, so I set this rule."
"The dead are all in a mess. After the hour of You, something happened to the lonely one..." Gui Bugui narrowed his eyes and repeated Wu Zhen's words, then turned his face to look at Wu Mian and said, "How is it? Are you aware of something?"
Gui Buguiyi rushed to the senior, but Wu Mian had no good expression. He raised his chin and pointed it at the old guy with his nostrils, saying, "If you have something to say, don't show off when you have nothing to do." He put his hot face on his cold butt, Gui Bugui said a little embarrassedly: "It's not the ghosts who cause trouble, it's the demons..."
Gui Bugui then explained: "The dead are all fragmented, so there is no need to say more. Ghosts will most likely appear around midnight, but the demons will come out as soon as the sky is dark. As for those who are alone, it doesn't matter. It's easy to bully. If you don't see such a cheap person, you will be a bastard."
After the old guy finished speaking, Wu Mian seemed to remember something, looked at Wu Zhen, and said, "Which location in the entire county magistrate's mansion is the most likely place to get into trouble?"
