Chapter 544 Interrogation IV

Xiao Erlang never thought that something would go wrong, because he has been pretending to be a ghost for two years, every time he appears, even if someone sees him, he will leave without hesitation, and he himself is also alert, always able to hide in the first time stand up.

How could he have thought that there were people like Bai Shan and the others in this world, and they could still get together when they saw a ghost squatting on the ground burning paper money.

However, it may also be because he hasn't pretended to be a ghost for half a year, and his business is a little lax.

But now that he has come to this point, Xiao Erlang has to confess everything he says, so he pointed to the three of Bai Shan beside him and said, "My lord, the three of them also had their hair disheveled and wore sackcloth that night, obviously they were also pretending to be ghosts."

Magistrate Tang glanced at the three teenagers and girls, and asked Xiao Erlang, "How long have they been renting the Yu's house?"

"It's been six days."

"How long has Kangxue Street been haunted?"

Xiao Erlang vaguely understood something, slumped his shoulders and said, "Two years..."

Magistrate Tang patted the gavel and said: "Don't say anything else, I just want to ask you, do you accept the crime of seizing government property, entering private houses, and pretending to be a ghost?"

Xiao Erlang lowered his head and said, "I admit it, but my lord, I really did what my parents and elder brother told me to do. I, I'm not the mastermind."

Magistrate Tang patted the gavel to make him quiet, then turned to ask Xiao Dalang, who was sluggish, and asked, "Xiao Dalang, do you plead guilty?"

Xiao Dalang opened his mouth, County Magistrate Tang frowned, and the yamen guards on both sides slapped the sticks, and he immediately said: "I admit it, I admit it."

Magistrate Tang was satisfied, and ordered Xiao's parents to be dragged up.

Man Bao couldn't get enough of it, but he didn't expect them to be worthless, and they didn't even need a certificate, and they were directly interrogated by Tang County Magistrate.

She pulled Bai Shanbao, and they pulled Bai Erlang and slipped away quietly.

Magistrate Tang glanced at them, didn't stop them, and let them go.

The five slipped out of the county office, tsk-tsk said: "The Xiao family is really powerful, they have been planting land for two years."

"Desires are hard to fill," Bai Shanbao said, "If they weren't so greedy, and only opened up a small piece of land and used part of the things, maybe no one would find out in ten or eight years."

After all, the prisoner's house is not that easy to sell. Even if the government is willing to sell it at a low price, no one will buy it under the circumstances of bad luck and rumors of ghosts.

It's common to waste ten or twenty years, but like them, if they get one, they think about two, and after getting two, they want to get three. Even if they don't catch ghosts, they will be caught one day.

Bai Shanbao frowned and said, "I don't know what will happen to them."

Man Bao didn't know either, "Go back and look through the legal books?"

Bai Erlang felt a headache when he thought of the thick and numerous law books, and immediately said: "Even the law books are not very detailed, why don't you ask Mr., otherwise there are so many books, how long will it take you to find them?"

Bai Erlang said: "And do you have any law books?"

Man Bao pointed to Bai Shanbao and said, "He brought it."

Bai Erlang looked at Bai Shanbao, "Are you crazy?"

"You're crazy. You think I want to read some of the exams in the government academy?" Bai Shanbao said, "I hate reading law books the most. Every time I read them, I feel dizzy."

Man Bao didn't like reading law books either, but some content was quite interesting, so he said: "I don't like most of the law books."

Bai Erlang slumped his shoulders and said: "It's over, you don't want to watch it, it must be difficult, don't you hate it when I want to learn?"

Li Erlang who came over said: "...my Dajin law book is difficult to read?"

Man Bao and the others turned their heads together and were a little surprised to see him, "Mr. Li Er, why are you here?"

Li Erlang coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I heard that the county government is trying a strange case today, so let's take a look, did you catch the ghost there?"

The three of Man Bao nodded reservedly, thinking that it was getting late, and they should go home and report to their husband.

Mr. Li Er glanced at the expressions on their faces, and said with a smile: "I'm new to Yizhou, and I'm still not familiar with it. I heard that the Ganxiang Tower in Yizhou is good, why don't I treat you to lunch?"

The three who were about to say goodbye paused, raised their heads to look at Li Erlang, and then couldn't help but meet their eyes.

Li Erlang smiled when he saw it and said: "Goodbye is fate, not to mention I depended on your care before, let's go, I heard that Ganxianglou's Guokui is very delicious with their mutton soup."

Man Bao couldn't help swallowing, and then the three of them followed Li Erlang away.

The four people behind Li Erlang couldn't help lowering their heads and laughing when they saw it.

Zhou Zhoulang hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly pulled Daji to follow. He felt that Yaomei was so bad, how could she be hooked away after a meal?

What if it's a bad guy?

But when he came back to his senses, they were already sitting in the private room of Ganxiang Building, ten people sat at a full table.

It was not the first time for Li Erlang to eat at Ganxianglou. He knew what was delicious, so he ordered a lot of dishes.

After the waiter brought the tea, Li Erlang asked about catching ghosts. He himself was very curious, how did they catch ghosts?

There is nothing that cannot be said, but it is difficult to say in front of the neighbors on Kangxue Street, after all, the Xiao family has lived there for generations.

If they knew that they were pretending to be ghosts to catch the Xiao family, and the Xiao family provoked one or two more that night, they would be in trouble.

But in front of Li Erlang and others, there is no need to hide these things.

So they told about them wearing sackcloth and hiding in the woodpile waiting for ghosts. Man Bao also asked Li Erlang, "Mr. Li Er, your experience is richer than ours. Have you ever seen a ghost?"

Li Erlang: "...No."

Man Bao regretted, "Sir, I haven't seen it, and you haven't seen it, so what about you?"

The other four people who were watched were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads.

Bai Shanbao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Look, let me tell you, there are no ghosts in this world. If you don't believe it, you still need to find ghosts."

"They are just some of them, and there are quite a few people in this world who claim to have seen ghosts," Man Bao said, "It's a pity that they were too timid, and they didn't talk to the ghosts at that time, and they didn't go forward to ask for confirmation. "

Li Erlang felt that he might be too old to keep up with their train of thought.

Li Erlang coughed lightly, interrupted their discussion, and finally brought the topic back, "What do you think of the magistrate of Huayang County?"

Man Bao nodded and said, "Very powerful."

Bai Shanbao also nodded, "The trial is very fast. The former gentleman also said that this kind of case may not go through the trial in three or four courts, but it ended up in one court."

"Have you heard of this magistrate before?"

"No," the three said simply, "We have only seen two county magistrates, both of whom belong to our county."

Li Erlang asked with a smile, "Then you've only heard of these two officials? That's a little ignorant."

Man Bao thought for a while and said: "Not only that, I have also heard of the King of Yizhou. The King of Yizhou is also an official, right? Or a high official."
