A drop of sweat fell from Shui Ling's forehead, and he laughed dryly and said, "This is a animal trap."

Li Fugui frowned and said, "I know about the animal trap, but yours looks like a hidden weapon."

Shui Ling smiled and didn't know what to say.

Gong Qianyu said from the side: "The teeth of the ordinary animal trap are deep and wide, but the teeth of this animal trap are short and dense. It can catch the beast without falling off, and will not endanger the life of the beast. Therefore, it is suitable for catching live beasts."

It’s a secret, you have to keep it a secret.”

Li Fugui suddenly realized, "Well, I'm so stupid. The ones caught alive are definitely worth more than the dead ones. If it works, I'll build it."

Shui Ling regretted that she might as well let her father build it, which would save a lot of trouble.

It's just that Shui Zheran is very busy now and can't see anyone all day long, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of going to the county town to build it.

Li Fugui asked: "When do you want it?"

Shui Ling immediately replied: "We need it tonight, how many can we make?"

"Well... there are two at most. How many do you want to make?" Li Fugui asked.

Shui Ling thought for a moment and said, "There are eight, let's do two first, and slowly do the rest."

"Okay." Li Fugui took the picture and did it himself.

Shui Ling and Gong Qianyu left the shop and made some inquiries before finding the master's home.

His house seemed to have been rebuilt, with gray bricks and gray tiles, and the aura of wealth came to his face. There were only two or three houses like this in the county. How could he, a master, make money?

Shui Ling secretly peeked over the wall and saw that the courtyard was empty. There was someone in the main room, but the doors and windows were closed on such a hot day.

"Go in and take a look." Shui Ling turned over and crossed the wall.

Gong Qianyu followed closely.

The two of them came to squat under the window. Shui Ling licked his fingers and poked the window paper, but was stopped by Gong Qianyu. He took out his dagger and made a cross, and when he poked it with his hand, a small hole appeared silently.

Shui Ling discovered that the window was made of light gauze and coated with a layer of gum, so it would never be broken by a finger poke.

She stood up a little and saw two people in the room through the hole. One of them was actually an acquaintance.

She retracted her head, and Gong Qianyu quickly glanced at her and squatted down. The two of them made eye contact, but neither of them said a word.

I heard the people inside say: "Brother Wen, that Hu Tu is unkind. He went to become the prefect and left you behind. He is simply bullying others. I don't even think about what he has done in these years? It's not you who helped support him."

?”

This brother Wen was Hu Tu's master when he was the county magistrate. When he visited Shuiling's house, he pretended to look down on him. Hu Tu must have disliked him at that time, so he dumped him when he took office.

Master Wen snorted coldly, "This matter must be the fault of the Shui family, otherwise you would not be able to do without me."

"Definitely. I wonder if we can be happy for a while after we sell this batch of goods?" Seeing that he was angry, the man quickly changed the subject.

Mr. Wen nodded, "Well, after everything is sold out, we will go to Fucheng to buy a house. There are more and better goods there."

The man then said: "Why do you think the mayor of Yushan City has so many boys?"

Mr. Wen chuckled and said, "The city lord of Yushan City has a cousin. This cousin is the great eunuch Defa in the palace. It is said that he has found the method of rejuvenating jade roots, which requires the jade roots of boys to be used as medicine."

"Hey...this is too damaging." Another person said.

Master Wen smiled, "Big Stone, if a man is not a real man, you have already intervened in this matter and there is no turning back. Otherwise, the methods of the eunuch Defa, haha..."

Da Shitou was frightened and muttered: "I thought I was just going to get some male dolls to be slaves."

Master Wen smiled and said: "It's almost the same. Those boys can stay in the palace as eunuchs. It's not bad. It's better than begging for food on the street."

"But this matter..." Da Shitou still hesitated.

When Shui Ling heard this, he felt that this big stone could still be saved, at least it was not completely broken. As for Master Wen, it would not be an exaggeration to die eight times.

Shui Ling suddenly thought of the last time he was arrested. It was the Queen Mother who came out to cause trouble. This time it was a eunuch. No wonder the capital was said to be in a state of chaos due to these evil cultivators.

She gave Gong Qianyu a look, and the two quietly climbed over the wall and went out.

They walked to a tree in the distance, and Shui Ling said: "Last time, the queen mother in the palace caught girls to extend their lives. This time, the eunuchs caught boys to grow jade roots. Why do I feel that the palace is a place where monsters are rampant?

"

Gong Qianyu nodded, "That's right. Ever since the Taizu Emperor became obsessed with alchemy, people in the future began to go astray, and many evil cultivators took advantage of it."

Shui Ling touched his chin, his brows furrowed into knots, "Then there are no good people in the palace?"

Gong Qianyu hesitated for a moment, and although he didn't want to admit it, he still said, "The Regent, Prime Minister Zuo, and General Fuhu are all good people, but Prime Minister Right is a slippery man who will only reap benefits."

Shui Ling was startled, this was different from the history he had learned, "You don't have the Prime Minister of the Left and the Prime Minister of the Right here? How come you are the Prime Minister of the Left and the Prime Minister of the Right?"

Gong Qianyu's eyes flashed. He heard the key word "you are here", but he chose to ignore it.

"This has always been the case here, don't make this mistake again in the future."

"Yeah, I got it. I'm going to kill that Wen... or something tonight." Shui Ling didn't even remember his name.

Gong Qianyu laughed, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to let the ghosts do the killing?"

"No." Shui Ling shook his head, "They themselves are magnetic fields. If they absorb the magnetic field of resentment, they will be impure and will have no chance of reincarnation."

Gong Qianyu heard her talk about magnetic field again, and his mind directly converted the two words magnetic field into soul.

Shui Ling patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go buy books about ghosts."

"Okay!" Gong Qianyu nodded.

The two of them came to the only bookstore in the county. The book seller was an old man, dressed in a blue shirt, elegant and elegant.

When he saw the person coming, he smiled and said, "Master and Miss, do you want to buy books?"

Shui Ling nodded, "Please give me a copy of all the books about ghosts."

"Okay." The old man found the books. There were six of them, each one as thick as a finger.

Shui Ling flipped through it casually, and found that these books were hand-copied editions with large fonts, so there weren't many words on them for those with thick fingers.

She was not satisfied and asked: "Is there anything older?"

"An older one? Yes, let me look for it." The old man began to rummage through the house.

Shuiling looked around the shop. The three sides of the small room were filled with bookshelves filled with books. As she looked around, she saw a hard-covered book as thick as the palm of a hand placed under the table next to her.

The font on the cover could no longer be seen clearly, but she could vaguely see the word "Ghost". She immediately walked over and squatted down to take out the book. She didn't know how long the book had been there. It was full of dust and sticky.

The old man turned around and saw the book she was holding and said immediately: "Yes, that's the book, handed down from my ancestors."
Chapter completed!
