The street in front of the Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture is a prime shopping area. There are hotels, restaurants, and teahouses in front of the Yamen. These shops are all derived from the Yamen and are used by the Yamen, as well as people from the countryside who come to the city to petition and submit petitions.

It is a place where villagers spend money. In addition to these eating and drinking restaurants, there are also banks, pawn shops, tile houses, gambling houses, and brothels on Fuyou Road near the Yamen. Most of these have business licenses legally issued by the government and are opened near the Yamen.

To make a living, there will be some backstage, and the store owners can be regarded as operating in compliance with industry rules.

Of course, the Yamen established Yin-Yang Studies and Dian Ke. The former's palm prints are Yin-Yang students, which are like magic sticks. The official Feng Shui masters, in addition to observing the sky and stars on duty in the Yamen, watching the weather, the weather, and the four seasons.

Similarly, there are yin and yang students who go to villages in the countryside to help farmers tell fortunes, read fortunes, choose weddings and funerals, look at Feng Shui treasures, and choose tombs and cemeteries. However, there are also some yin and yang students who know some old Maoshan ghost-exorcism and spiritualism techniques.

It can make Yin Yang students earn some extra money.

As for the medical department established in Jingzhao Mansion, the section chief is similar to the director of a state-owned municipal hospital in later generations. The drug store of the chief medical officer is located opposite the yamen. If Jingzhao Yin and the yamen officials have

If you have minor ailments such as cold, dizziness or fever, you can go to a drugstore for medical treatment at public expense.

Recently, in addition to excessive anger, Guo Nuan has been a little nervous, and his face is very pale. The medical doctor diligently examined Guo Nuan, but after working all afternoon, he could not tell Guo Nuan what was wrong with his body.

, except for prescribing a few prescriptions and taking half a pound of licorice, yam, wolfberry and other common medicines, Guo Nuan still didn't feel any better after taking them. He guessed that it was due to being too tired from handling cases recently.

It was just that on the night of the sixth day of the lunar calendar, that is, five days after Guo Nuan took office, Guo Nuan got up in the independent courtyard behind the Yamen and went out of the wing to pee.

While walking, sleepy-eyed, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing and erratic by the ancient well in the garden of the side courtyard. The dark shadow seemed to feel someone's gaze, and then turned its head away sadly. What was shocking was that

The strange humanoid object had a red face and black eyes! Then it laughed a few times and looked extremely scary in the deep and secluded courtyard. Then it disappeared out of thin air in a few breaths.

At that time, Guo Nuan immediately felt the cold air coming up from the soles of his feet, his mouth opened wide, his pupils shrank sharply, his face suddenly turned pale, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and even the lamp he was holding in his hand fell to the ground.

At that time, I wanted to call the yamen on duty in another courtyard of the yamen, but I couldn't shout a word because of the gurgling in my throat. For a long time, I found that my feet were frozen in place and trembling, unable to walk.

For the past few days, Guo Nuan thought that night was a hallucination, and he was probably too busy and confused during the day.

"Mr. Liu, you have been working in the Yamen for decades. You are familiar with the courtyard of the Yamen. Do you think the feng shui of this land is good?" Guo Nuan was sitting in the atrium of the Yamen side hall, facing an old Taoist with a sick look on his face.

asked.

The old Taoist whom Guo Nuan calls Mr. Liu is a Yamen Yin-Yang master and has been practicing Yin-Yang for decades. The Tang Dynasty’s metaphysics of the interaction between heaven and man and the concept of the existence of void gods are still very popular among the people. Guo Nuan originally

He is a person who has received modern scientific quality education in the 21st century. However, since time travel happened to Guo Nuan, all scientific knowledge cannot explain the phenomenon of time and space travel, and Guo Nuan's materialistic values ​​have been shaken.

Now Guo Nuan has encountered something quite supernatural recently. To say that he usually behaves upright and has no ghosts in his heart. After encountering the ghost, Guo Nuan was so depressed that he wanted to curse. No matter whether there is a ghost or not, there is still some evil intention.

Guo Nuan was determined to find out the ghost of the Yamen in the near future.

"Well, I thought that what you are worried about are all the strange things about ghosts and ghosts. To be honest, I have never encountered them in more than 20 years of work. I look at your face and you are a strange person. He must have been in his previous life.

I have experienced a lot of tribulations in the world of mortals, and I am reincarnated in this world to overcome the tribulations. Although the future is bumpy, my heaven is full and my face is full of blessings. I don’t expect that I will be a short-lived and unlucky person."

Yin Yang had a white beard and wore a square scarf and a hat. He bowed slightly and said slowly. Guo Nuan saw that his words were sincere. Although he couldn't get the answer, he no longer embarrassed the old man, so he had to wave his hand to let him retreat.

By the way, there is nothing wrong with what the old Taoist said. Guo Nuan did come to the Tang Dynasty because he was so angry that his wife went to bed with an adulterer behind his back when he was on a business trip. The old Taoist can do calculations and what he said is very accurate. As for what the old Taoist said

He is a man with great fortune and good fortune. He does not seem to be a short-lived person. Guo Nuan is a little doubtful. If his enemies Yu Chaoen and Yu Linghui, the two eunuchs and their son, are always thinking about taking his own life, then Guo Nuan will take advantage of Guo Nuan.

Guo Nuan has been in poor health recently, and has encountered strange and unexplainable phenomena at night. Guo Nuan does not feel that he is a blessed person.

Guo Nuan's nerves have been tense recently, as if he was suffering from neurasthenia. He was reviewing official documents alone in the quiet study room of the Yamen in the afternoon. Suddenly, a breeze blew past the window shaded by several green bamboos, making the sound of rustling leaves, which filled Guo Nuan's ears.

It can also be heard as the sound of people whispering in a low voice.

It made Guo Nuan listless, like a frosted eggplant. When he was nervous, he would feel very thirsty. Recently, he hired an old woman who did odd jobs, especially making good tea. The tea-making woman was mute.

He can't speak, and he doesn't like to get close to others. But he behaves very well.

After Guo Nuan tasted the woman's tea, he thought it tasted very good. In just two days, he seemed to be addicted. After three meals a day, he would ask the old tea-maker to bring him a cup of tea soup to calm his nervousness. It was strange.

As soon as you drink it, you will feel extremely comfortable and have a feeling of ecstasy.

He urinates a lot at night and has nightmares. Whenever he wakes up and touches his back, it is covered with cold sweat stains. Seeing how haggard his master is, Ah Fu cannot bear to see him torture him all the time, but the doctor can't tell anything is wrong.

, taking medicine has no effect, the only thing Ah Fu can do is to take care of Guo Nuan at night, and sleep with him in a side room. If Guo Nuan has any illness at night, he can take care of it in time.

Recently, Guo Nuan was looking through the old files in the library of Jingzhao Prefecture. He reviewed in detail the files covering nine years from the year before the Anshi Rebellion broke out to the year after An Lushan's death, especially the third year of the Anshi Rebellion.

It was written by the last two Jingzhao Yin Wang Wan. For some reason, half a year's worth of files that Guo Nuan had put on the desk a few days ago had disappeared inexplicably.

Regarding the death of Wang Wan, the last two Jingzhao Yin, it is related to Guo Nuan's father Guo Ziyi. It is said that during the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Anlushan rebels captured Chang'an twice, and Wang Wan, who was Jingzhao Yin at the time, disappeared inexplicably for some reason.

Many months later, when he returned to Chang'an, the Anlushan rebels had been wiped out by Guo Ziyi and Shuo's army. Then Wang Wan was accused of colluding with the party by Guo Nuan's father, and was killed by Guo Ziyi without trial. He was beheaded and convicted.

The reason is very strange. Wang Wan, as a partial general of the imperial army in the palace, arbitrarily overstepped his authority and proclaimed himself Jing Zhaoyin, and then secretly colluded to rebel against the party.

"Before leaving, why did Wang Wan leave these strange files and secretly seal them in the most secret secret room in the file warehouse of Jingzhao Mansion? And what did he do when he disappeared for more than a month? Why did his father have to be killed in a hurry after the war?

He didn't even give Wang Wan a chance to have a public trial?"

Guo Nuan stood on the steps outside the study door, staring blankly at the distant mountains outside the wall and muttering to himself. He had just been in poor health, and when he came to Jingzhao Mansion, he had a series of doubts in his heart. Guo Nuan felt faintly afraid.

Welling up in his heart, his intuition told him that there was some kind of dangerous atmosphere. He unknowingly came into contact with taboo secrets about the upper echelons of the palace, as if there was an invisible network, containing a huge conspiracy...
