There are always some ghost towns in the underworld with strange shapes. Some normal cities are square, which is not much different from the shape of most ancient cities in the world.
For example, those in Yuque City and Shizhu City in Jiuyou Kingdom all have this appearance.
But a few cities have strange shapes.
Some are of the overturned bucket type, like a meter measuring bucket turned over and covered on top, with edges and lines on all four sides, and a small square platform at the top, which is also somewhat like the pyramids of the Mayan civilization in South America.
Some are like crosses, divided into five city districts: front, back, left, right and middle. Some are round, exactly the same as the shape of tombs. Even the front gate, the only entrance and exit, is higher than the city wall.
There are also many ghost towns, which are divided into four urban areas, front, rear, left and right. The front and left urban areas are side by side, and the rear area is after the front area, like a convex character.
This kind of city is also a unique scenery in the underworld, just like a tomb or mausoleum in the human world.
However, they all emphasize the unity of heaven and man within one creation. Moreover, the project is huge and powerful.
As for Saofeng City, because it is the seat of the county government, it is square and regular. The entire city is divided into nine districts, named according to the nine stars, namely Tianpeng, Tianrui, Tianchong, Tianfu, and Tianfu.
There are nine districts: Qin, Tianxin, Tianzhu, Tianren and Tianying.
The ghost doctor who is about to treat Lai Yueqi lives in Tianying District in the northwest of the city.
Yu Langguan and his assistants carefully avoided the sentries and patrols on the road, and walked for a long time before arriving at the northwest part of the city.
Yu Langguan, who holds an important position in the city, has basically figured out the patrol routes and the locations of sentries in the city. This made them careful to carry out the murder. Although it was not easy, they still quietly approached the ghost doctor's residence.
, and was not discovered.
It's just that this journey was not satisfactory. The ghosts in this group had to carefully avoid the patrols coming and going in the city. It was not a long journey in the first place. After walking for half an hour, they arrived not far from the ghost doctor's residence.
in the alley.
Yu Langguan, who was walking at the front, stood in the shadow of the alley. He raised his eyes and looked out of the alley. Diagonally opposite was the ghost doctor's home.
Like the houses in the city, they are also made of black abyssal rock polished stone bricks, no different from other houses.
Speaking of which, this ghost doctor was not very famous before. Among the many ghost doctors in the city, he did not have a medical center or pharmacy. He used to set up a roadside stall to treat colds and night terrors.
In your free time, you should do some work early to earn some extra pocket money and so on.
Yu Langguan couldn't figure out how ordinary a ghost could be. He had taken every precaution to make something go wrong with such a ghost doctor.
But it's useless to think too much. After tonight, everything will be fine.
Yu Langguan calmed down and looked around.
On the street ahead, a group of ghost patrolmen had just passed by, and they would not come again within half an hour. The road was empty again, and it was extremely quiet. In this half hour, it was enough for Lang
The official asked to open the door, and then killed the ghost doctor in the room.
Yu Langguan took the lead out of the alley and headed towards the ghost doctor's house.
When he stood still at the door, the helpers behind him also quickly stood on the left and right sides of the door. While standing in the shadow by the wall, the last two believers looked left and right to guard Yu Langguan.
Yu Langguan raised his hand and was about to ring the doorbell hanging above the door when he was suddenly stunned.
There is nothing unusual about this house, except that the lantern booths around the house and within a few feet of the streets to the left and right are not lit tonight.
Everything within a few feet of the house was plunged into darkness.
This is not normal.
Yu Langguan, who had been thinking wildly before, did not notice this abnormality before arriving at the door of the ghost doctor's house.
Only then did he notice these anomalies. He was stunned for a moment and his heart skipped a beat. While shouting secretly, he opened his mouth and said in a deep voice to his accomplices: "There is an ambush!".
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yu Langguan was already covered in cold sweat, and he was dripping with sweat.
His accomplices were also startled, looking around with vigilant eyes, as if they saw ghost figures surging in the darkness, gradually surrounding them...
"What?"
Xiao Fuling, who was in the carriage, shouted and stood up. His eyes widened with surprise and he shot forward, falling on the face of Huamei opposite.
After being stunned for a moment, Xiao Fuling, who had a look of disbelief on her face, lowered her voice and asked: "You said that ghost doctor is actually your spy?".
"Doesn't he know how to cure diseases?" After a pause, Xiao Fuling asked again while the screen nodded silently.
The surprised look in his eyes turned into worry when he asked this question.
She was still afraid that this ghost doctor wouldn't be able to cure the disease.
"Of course not, he does have a secret recipe handed down from his ancestors that can cure Mrs. Lai's illness." Huamei shook his head and replied affirmatively: "Otherwise, I would not be able to bear the crime of deceiving the mother."
Xiao Fuling, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly sat down after Lai Yueqi pulled her sleeves.
But just after she sat down on the bed, Xiao Fuling regained her composure and became surprised again. She continued to look at Huamei and asked: "So, in fact, this ghost doctor was sent out by you to secretly investigate these mineral reselling cases.
spy?".
In fact, Huamei had briefly explained this to her and Lai Yueqi before, but Xiao Fuling still found it unbelievable.
In other words, Xiao Fuling was already in a trance and couldn't tell whether the ghost who knew the details of reselling minerals was a ghost doctor or a hook from Jiuyou Kingdom (hook was a slang term for undercover agents and spies).
"I didn't send him out, it was your father, King Jiuyou, who arranged it half a year ago." Huamei nodded and continued to add: "Before this, only your father and I knew the true identity of this ghost doctor.
Of course, for the sake of confidentiality, he does not belong to the Chacha Department, but is only in a department under the Ministry of War. Of course, at first, the king just wanted this ghost to secretly investigate whether there were any violations or wrongdoings in the mining industry on Xiaofeng Plain.
Unexpectedly, this ghost not only lived up to expectations and found out what your father wanted to know, but also discovered the secret reselling of rare minerals two months ago. After he secretly reported the news to me,
Although I didn't report it in time, I was afraid of leaking the news. But I still asked him to continue to investigate the matter in depth. Finally, half a month ago, he got a lot of evidence. Among them, there was evidence that Yu Langguan was involved.
”.
"Why didn't you report it in time?" At this moment, Lai Yueqi, holding a teacup, took over and asked.
Huamei frowned slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face. After slowly lowering his head, he said with a little guilt: "This force is not small. Once reported, we are afraid that the news will be leaked and they will destroy the evidence. By then, this ghost doctor will work hard
The results achieved in just half a year will disappear as the evidence is destroyed. It will be even more difficult to get to the bottom of it in the future."
Lai Yueqi thought about it carefully and felt that there was nothing wrong with Huamei's plan.
Immediately afterwards, Huamei said: "And the mastermind behind the scenes has never been found. What was found was that some officials such as Sales and Yu Langguan were involved. Also, how did they transport the minerals out?
It was found. But the mastermind behind the scenes is always like a shadow in the dark night. I don’t know who he is or where he is.”
After a pause, Huamei, whose face became a little more ashamed, said again: "At this time, the government issued an edict to visit famous doctors, which gave us hope. As soon as I made a plan with this ghost, we used his family to
There is a secret recipe for treating diseases like Mrs. Lai's, so we simply used his external identity and combined this secret recipe to make a show. We deliberately used this to trick you
I invited you here because I wanted to secretly hand over the evidence I found to Mrs. Lai and you in person. Sure enough, when you guys came, Yu Langguan became panicked. He was secretly frightened at the banquet today. Take a closer look.
It can still be seen underneath. He will definitely start to move, and the mastermind behind him will naturally not be able to sit still."
"Lord Huamei, you are really scheming." Just when Huamei finished speaking, Xiao Fuling said with a smile: "By involving me in danger, aren't you afraid that my father and my mother and concubine will have trouble with you in the future?
?”.
Hearing this, Huamei smiled disapprovingly and said calmly: "I'm not afraid. As long as I can kill all these people, I will be demoted to a remote place, and Huamei will not hesitate."
After hearing these honest words, Xiao Fuling and Lai Yueqi both looked satisfied and smiled slightly.
The prosperity and stability of the Jiuyou Kingdom are always inseparable from ghosts like Huamei. They may not necessarily hold important positions, but in order not to live the life of slaves again, they will always make foresight and do their best for the Jiuyou Kingdom.
Even if this power is only meager, they will try their best.
"Where are minerals usually sold?" Lai Yueqi asked curiously after a while.
"They are probably all in Dongyingzhou, but the specific ones are basically flowing into Qingqiu Fox Country." Huamei picked up his tea cup and returned: "I discussed it with this spy in private, and we both suspected that the real mastermind behind the scenes was
It’s not in Saofeng County. It’s even possible that it’s not in our country.”
Her words made Lai Yueqi and Xiao Fuling immediately think of fox ghosts.
Or the Tushan clan.
Even though they are in alliance with Jiuyou Kingdom, and Tu Yaoqing is Xiao Shizhu's concubine, they are still making secret moves.
This ally has never been of the same mind as the Jiuyou Kingdom. Ever since they married Tu Yaoqing to Xiao Shizhu, their evil intentions to steal from the Jiuyou Kingdom have been constant.
Maybe Huamei's guess is right. The mastermind behind all this is definitely not in the country.
As she was thinking about it, Xiao Fuling suddenly had an idea. Now that Yu Langguan was panicked, would he do something extreme?
And is the ghost doctor who knows many secrets closely protected?
Xiao Fuling, who had a flash of thought, immediately expressed these worries to Queen Huamei, looked at Fan Jinhong who was standing behind him, and immediately ordered: "Immediately arrange a few guards with good skills and proficient in magic and ghost arts to go."
Protect......".
Before she could finish her words, Huamei had already raised her hand to stop Xiao Fuling and said: "Master, don't panic, please be patient. Ten days ago, I told you that this ghost is the only important task that can cure Mrs. Lai."
, gave an order to the city defense army, asking them to closely protect this ghost. He was always with him.
The sergeants of the city defense army and the most skilled ghosts in the city were not involved in the case. Moreover, there were tight secret defenses around the house. Anyone who dared to take his ghost life would be like a turtle in the urn.
.You can even catch the killer and interrogate more details."
As soon as she said this, Xiao Fuling secretly admired her; this thrush was really not a vegetarian, she was far-sighted and arranged everything properly, which was different from ordinary people.
