The person who came was a man in his twenties or thirties, wearing a gray Taoist robe that was washed a little white, and a copper gourd hung around his waist. A peach wood sword in his hand came to Chen Mu and the others, looked around, and asked anxiously, "Where is Yinsha, where is it?"

Before Chen Mu and Lin Xiuwan could speak, another bold voice came from the other side of the passage, "Taoist, please wait, that's the evil spirit of the second realm, be careful of being plotted against..."

Accompanied by the sound, a burly man appeared, holding a big knife in his hand, and the blade was dark red, like a layer of rust.

Chen Mu looked at the knife and felt a little scared. It was a bit like the feeling that the female ghost gave him.

"She is gone." Chen Mu said.

The Taoist priest slapped his thigh and said annoyedly, "Oh, I actually let it run away. It's all your fault for asking you to eat less, but you must not listen. Where can I find it now?"

The strong man named "Ghost Head" behind said angrily, "Taoist, what are you doing with your ears? What people say is that it is gone."

"Not?"

The Taoist priest then realized, as if he had discovered something, and said in surprise, "There is such a strong evil spirit here. It turns out that there are ghosts of Yinsha level that dissipate the evil spirit on their bodies. Have you actually removed it?"

At this time, Lin Xiuwan spoke, "You two are the headmasters of Liushemen, I don't know what to call them."

"My name is Guitou, he is a Taoist priest. The head captain of the Qingyi in the Six Gates."

The strong man took out a copper sign from his waist and showed it to them.

Seeing that it was indeed the waist sign of the Six Doors, Lin Xiuwan nodded and said, "That's right, the Yin Evil came here just now and suddenly stopped. The evil spirit on her body dissipated and disappeared without a trace. We don't know what's going on."

When Chen Mu saw her lying, he remained calm and looked at him with admiration.

I originally thought she had a sense of justice and principledness. She could take such a big risk for someone she had never known each other. She was worried that her personality would easily suffer losses. Unexpectedly, she knew how to adapt and was not the kind of rigid person.

The Taoist priest pondered, "It seems that after she arrived here, she untied her heart and eliminated her obsession."

When the ghost head heard the danger was lifted, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Lin Xiuwan and said politely, "The girl has already practiced her muscles and bones at a young age. The essence of swordsmanship can even resist the Yinsha. I wonder which school I have mastered?"

Lin Xiuwan said, "The headmaster has been awarded. My strength is far inferior to Yinsha. Compared with the headmaster, it is even more worth mentioning. As for the master's sect, it is not allowed to be mentioned to others due to the rules of the sect. Please forgive me."

She turned to another thing, "Please look at the two captains, the traces on the ground..." tell them about their previous discoveries.

The two captains have rich experience and realize that this case may have other hidden information.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Chen Mu.

He was accidentally involved. At first, he just wanted to get rid of the female ghost's entanglement. Now, the female ghost has been saved. The matter has been understood. The investigation of the case has nothing to do with him.

…………

After finishing my work, it's almost dark.

Chen Mu left Zhao Mansion with Sherlock in the carriage.

When Mr. Zhao learned that the female ghost had been removed, he was overjoyed and set up a banquet to entertain their group, including the two captains.

Only Lin Xiuwan did not stay for dinner. Before leaving, she told him that she lived in Yunyi Inn and could go to her if she had anything to do.

She became the first friend of the opposite sex that Chen Mu had made after traveling through time, but unfortunately she already had a fiancé.

"Thanks to you today." Sherlock has been smiling since leaving Zhao's mansion and handed over a bag, "This is your reward."

Chen Mu opened it and saw five silver dollars inside. He was not polite, so he put it away and said, "Thank you."

Sherlock found the murderer for the Zhao family and saved Mr. Zhao's life. Mr. Zhao still had to thank him again. As long as he saw that his smile had not stopped, he knew that his gains must have been very rich this time.

Chen Mu was not jealous. This trip had already achieved the goal of getting rid of the female ghost. Even if Sherlock was not enough for a penny, he would not lose.

Besides, I got a mask in the treasure house of Zhao's mansion.

Intuition told him that this mask must be not simple.

These five silver dollars are enough for their expenses in the next month. They greatly alleviate the economic pressure.

Sherlock suddenly said, "Are you interested in being my assistant? Make three meals and give you five silver dollars a month."

Five silver dollars are not a small amount of money, and you can buy nearly 150 kilograms of rice. It is enough to support Chen Mu and his grandmother, and you can also eat a meal of meat occasionally.

You know, he was carrying bags at the dock and was exhausted and earned less than half of the money in a month.

However, for Chen Mu, it is impossible to work. With that pen in his hand, he was not worried that he would not be able to make money.

"I have to go back and discuss this with my grandma."

You should not be too straightforward when rejecting others, otherwise it will easily offend others. If there is no suitable excuse, just drag it out first.

Sherlock nodded, "It's time to go back and discuss with his family."

Then, the smile on his face subsided and warned, "In the future, you must be careful about Zhao Heng."

Zhao Heng is the name of the young master of the Zhao family.

Chen Muqi said, "Why is this?"

Sherlock said, "When Miss Lin talked to you just now, she happened to be seen by Butler Wu. You should be able to see Zhao Heng's thoughts about Miss Lin."

Chen Mu felt a stern, as the saying goes, like a father, like a son. Mr. Zhao did nothing to get Liu Yan, and later beat Liu Yan's previous fiancé to death.

If Zhao Heng suspected that he was his rival and had jealousy, he really didn't know what he would do.

However, he felt that he had died unjustly. He obviously had no relationship with Lin Xiuwan, but he still had to be hated that he should not bear.

The key is that he has no place to explain. Such things are difficult to explain clearly.

Chen Mu nodded solemnly, "I understand."

After a while, Chen Mu turned around and asked, "What kind of institution are the Six Gates and the Ninth Guard?"

"The Six Gates are directly under the Ministry of Justice, and the Ninth Guard is directly under the Censorate. The Six Gates have existed since the founding of the country and have always been responsible for handling major cases. The Ninth Guard was established during the reign of Emperor Wu. At first, it was to protect the military and political officials in the court. Later, the power and responsibility became increasingly greater and became the yamen for managing practitioners. Once a practitioner does evil, he will be under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Guard."

Chen Mu asked again, "What level does Qingyi headmaster belong to?"

Sherlock's attitude was much more patient than when he came at noon, and he solved his doubts. "The captains of the Six Gates were from low to high, including black, blue, and red. There were higher silver and gold clothes on it, but those other figures were usually in the capital and would not be moved easily. Qingyi belongs to the second level, and it is appropriate to deal with the Yinsha in the second realm."

He paused and said, "There are head catchers who specialize in dealing with ghosts in the six doors. He always likes to use code names, and that Taoist priest and ghost head are like this."

Chen Mu remembered the strange knife in Guitou's hand and said, "The knife of Guitou seems a bit strange."

"You have good eyesight. That is a ghost-headed knife. It was originally a knife specially used by executioners to behead their heads. I don't know how many people's blood is stained, and there are no big traitors and evil people. Over time, the knife has a blood evil. It is the nemesis of the ghost."

While speaking, Chen Mu noticed that he had reached a familiar intersection and said, "Just get down here, thank you today."

…………

Chen Mu bought a roast chicken on the street, wrapped it in oil paper, and returned home, "I'm back."

"You still know to come back?"

The old lady's complaint came from the room, "The sun is about to set, do you want to starve me to death?"

Chen Mu pushed the door and saw her sitting at the table eating pastries. He said strangely, "Where did you get the pastries?"

"It was the little girl from the rice shop who stuffed it to me."

While eating, the old lady kept chattering, "I walked around the door of the rice shop, and she ran out to say hello to me. Knowing that I hadn't eaten yet, she secretly stuffed me a bag of pastries. The little girl has a much more conscience than you... What does this taste like? Roasted chicken!"

Chen Mu saw her eyes shining, opened the oil bag and sighed, "I even bought roast chicken and came back, but I was scolded for being heartless."

The old lady seemed to change her face and smiled, "I'm sorry, grandma blamed you wrongly. You are the most conscientious and filial grandson in the world. Hurry up, give it to me."

Why does it sound like a swearing?

Chen Mu put the roast chicken on the table. The old lady grabbed a chicken leg and tore it off, took a bite, and her mouth was filled with oil.

"Eat slowly, don't swallow it. I will buy you meat every day in the future."

"That's what you said."

"I said." Today is different from the past, and Chen Mu also has this confidence.

"Can you buy another girl and come back? I'm used to being serving someone."

"Don't be more timid."
