"Come on, Lord Lu, let's have a drink." An old man in black smiled and toasted a middle-aged scholar.

When he toasted, the middle-aged Confucian scholar looked plain and did not mean to drink.

"I have to invigilate tomorrow. Tell me, what's the matter? I'll come to me specifically." He looked at the old man in black and said lightly.

Hearing the middle-aged Confucian scholar say this, the old man in black was not embarrassed. He put the wine glass aside and smiled and said, "Isn't this for the Miss? You should know that our Miss has survived a disaster every fifty years."

When he heard that it was the other lady's business, the middle-aged Confucian scholar suddenly became serious and thought for a while and said, "I heard a little, can it be the day when your lady will survive the tribulation again?"

"Yes, this disaster is a candidate in the provincial examination. Please give me some convenience." The old man in black bowed.

Although this catastrophe is called a catastrophe, it is actually just a transformation process. It is related to the events before his death and is not a real catastrophe, so there is nothing to say about it.

Hearing the old man in black say this, the middle-aged Confucian scholar pondered for a moment, turned to look at the old man in black: "Do you have reported this to the City God?"

"Of course there is." The old man in black took out a red note from his sleeve and carefully handed it to the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

After taking the red note, the middle-aged Confucian scholar opened it and checked it carefully. Then he nodded, put it together and handed it to the old man in black, saying, "Since that's the case, you will invigilate him from tomorrow. He will also leave it to you after the exam."

"Then I'll thank you Lord Lu." The old man in black took the red note with a smile and put it into his sleeve.

At this time, the middle-aged Confucian scholar showed a hesitant look on his face and asked, "I heard that your lady is about to become a ghost?"

Hearing the middle-aged Confucian scholar's words, the old man in black was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "It's all you need to get through this disaster."

"It's so good! Your lady has become a ghost and a god and can enter the underworld without having to be as mediocre as us ghosts." The middle-aged Confucian scholar sighed, picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one go.

"Mr. Lu doesn't have to do this. Are you also working in the underworld now? The achievements should not be underestimated." Hearing the middle-aged Confucian scholar say this, the old man in black immediately complimented.

Hearing him say this, the middle-aged Confucian scholar's face improved a little, and he shook his head and said, "I am just a minor official in the underworld, how can I compare to your lady?"

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Don't worry, I will take good care of you, this time, the City God said hello, I will definitely take good care of you."

After saying that, he waved his hand, got up and walked away, his body disappeared in the night mist.

Seeing him walking away, the old man in black gradually calmed down and his body gradually disappeared, leaving only a table of wine and food here.

On the other hand, Li Si and Zhang Yuan also finished the meal.

"Two husbands, Chenghui 586 articles, but our shopkeeper said that we would give it to you." The waiter said to Li Si and the other two with a smile.

Hearing the waiter said this, Li Si smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank your shopkeeper."

He also understood the meaning of the shopkeeper, and wanted to make a good relationship.

He had no idea of ​​being polite, otherwise he would embarrass the shopkeeper.

"Then let's go." Zhang Yuan laughed. He was invited by the shopkeeper without spending money, which also made him feel very proud.

Li Si nodded and prepared to go downstairs.

But at this moment, he was slightly stunned and turned to look downstairs.

He immediately saw Yan Ling passing by here, but at this moment, Yan Ling's face looked a little bad.

Then, after a few breaths, Yan Ling disappeared.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?" Zhang Yuan next to him was a little surprised. Why did he feel that his friend was a little strange today?

"Ah... nothing, I just saw an old friend." Li Si frowned slightly, and he was a little surprised. Why didn't I see you for a while? Brother Yan became so strong at once, just like an iron tower.

"Maybe his martial arts have made progress." He thought to himself.

After all, he had already given the dragon scale to Yan Ling before, and was in the city, so he didn't believe that Yan Ling would encounter any unexpected problems.

"Let's go." Li Si smiled apologetically at Zhang Yuan and walked downstairs.

Seeing that he was like this, Zhang Yuan didn't ask much, so he followed Li Si downstairs.

Not long after, the two walked out of the restaurant and headed towards the Hu Mansion.

"Brother Zhang, do you know that the Nie family was destroyed a long time ago in Zetian Mansion?" Li Si suddenly asked Zhang Yuan while walking on the road.

Hearing Li Si's question, Zhang Yuan pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this. If there is such a thing, it probably happened a long time ago. You need to go to the yamen to check the files."

Speaking of this, he asked hesitantly: "Brother Li, I don't know what you are doing in this matter?"

"It's nothing, I heard that a family extermination case happened here before, and the one who was killed was a family named Nie. I am more interested in this kind of thing, so I'll ask you." Li Si shook his head and said.

He felt a little regretful, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yuan didn't know either.

At the same time, he also knew that it was difficult to obtain information from the Nie family, after all, the government office was not allowed to break freely.

"I have heard of destroying the family together, but I don't know if it is the Nie family you mentioned, Brother Li." At this time, Zhang Yuan thought for a while, as if he had remembered something, and said.

"Oh? Tell me." Li Si immediately cheered up when he heard Zhang Yuan say this.

Seeing that Li Si was so interested, Zhang Yuan said, "It's actually not a secret. More than three hundred years ago, when the Twelve Kingdoms were still alive, there was a tragic family extermination case. More than 100 servants in the family were killed, and even the youngest son was drowned in the pond."

"And the murderer poured his home with tinder oil. The fire burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished. Some people tied up by them were also burned to death. The scene was terrible."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yuan licked his lips, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He was extremely curious about this at this time, so he knew about this and had also specifically investigated it.

When Li Si heard Zhang Yuan's words, he immediately knew that this was the Nie family, and the drowning child was the water ghost.

Then he suppressed the joy in his heart and asked, "Do you know where this old site is?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "I don't know this either. I was experiencing war at that time, and such things would not be recorded in the book. Now even if I go to the government office, I can't find it."

When Li Si heard this, he immediately calmed down. It was true that he was thinking too naively.

"Forget it, if you don't know, don't know." He smiled, as if he didn't take this matter to heart.

Then, the two walked out of the unmanned alley.

Li Si asked Zhang Yuan before, naturally, he wouldn't have asked in a crowded place. He specifically found an uninhabited alley.
