    Xu Yingqing held the luncheon at the largest restaurant in Muzhou City. Not only Gu Yanting, but also everyone brought by Gu Yanting were invited to the restaurant for the banquet.

    The meal was sumptuous, and there was also Muzhou's most famous plum wine. Xu Yingqing was eloquent and made everyone happy. However, Gu Yanting's expression was always very dull, and he was not moved by Xu Yingqing's compliment.  I was so proud that I couldn't find North.

    After Xu Yingqing finished speaking, someone came to the stage with a pipa to sing.

    The man was wearing a light red gauze dress, with an exquisite figure and a soft and charming voice. He sang an unknown Ruan Nong tune, which was heart-wrenching.

    It was Song Qiuse who had given Gu Yanting a change of clothes before.

    Gu Yanting recognized her at a glance and knew in his heart that her previous statement that she would be killed if she could not serve was a lie. It was nothing more than a tool used by Xu Yingqing to persuade people to win people's hearts for him.

    Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Yingqing came close to Gu Yanting and took the initiative to pour wine for him: "Master Gu, you have worked hard all the way. I would like to propose a toast to you."

    Gu Yanting picked up the cup, touched it with Xu Yingqing, and said calmly: "The salary of a food king is what it should be, it's not hard work."

    Xu Yingqing smiled apologetically, drank the cup, and prepared to toast Wu Qin. It seemed that he wanted to toast everyone.

    Xu Yingqing had such a huge capacity, and Gu Yanting didn't have the patience to watch him toast, so he raised his hand and pressed Xu Yingqing's shoulder to make him sit down.

    Xu Yingqing originally didn't plan to sit down, but Gu Yanting's hand was too strong and he couldn't struggle at all. He could only sit down obediently and asked with a smile: "Master Gu, what's wrong?"

    Gu Yanting lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty ordered me to pack lightly and rush here because I have important things to do, not to drink and have fun with Mr. Xu."

    Xu Yingqing nodded, put on a serious expression, and said, "I know Mr. Gu is here for important matters. Even if you give your orders, I will definitely mobilize the entire Muzhou to cooperate with you."

    Xu Yingqing¡¯s tone was firm and upright, as if he would never do anything treacherous.

    Gu Yanting said: "This is not the place to talk."

    Xu Yingqing said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, eat first. After dinner, we will go to the private room upstairs to discuss matters."

    Xu Yingqing failed to make a toast. After eating for a while, he went to the private room upstairs with Gu Yanting. As soon as he entered the door, Gu Yanting said: "Marquis Weiyang framed Zhongliang. On the eighth day of the lunar month, Marquis Weiyang's mansion was destroyed by Dali Temple."  After copying it, all the men in the Hou Mansion were thrown into the prison and awaited execution. Prince Zhao Ying was worried that he would lose power, so he forged his majesty's order to let Chu Yichen, the prince of Wei Yanghou, go. His majesty suspected that Chu Yichen would serve Zhao Ying.  I was ordered to go to Muzhou to find Mr. Zhao to plot the rebellion, and I was ordered to lead people to Muzhou to capture the rebel Chu Yichen. Please cooperate with Mr. Xu."

    Xu Ying knew these things early in the morning, but he still showed a shocked and surprised expression just right, and asked impolitely: "Chu Shizi has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, how could he do such a thing? Is there any misunderstanding?"

    Gu Yanting cooperated with Xu Yingqing's acting with a sullen face and said: "The people from Dali Temple have checked in front of the emperor and confirmed that Chu Yichen has indeed been transferred."

    Xu Yingqing opened his eyes wide, and then said loudly: "I am absolutely loyal to your majesty. Please be clear to me!"

    Gu Yanting looked at Xu Yingqing and asked, "Chu Yichen should have arrived in Muzhou long ago after escaping from Hanjing. Mr. Xu hasn't seen him yet?"

    "No," Xu Yingqing replied firmly, and then said, "Xiaguan is just a small state capital, and it has never controlled military power. Even if the prince and the prince of Chu really want to do something treasonous, they will not go to Xiaguan. Gu  Sir, why are you so sure that Prince Chu has come to Muzhou?"

    "The retainers of Wei Yanghou Mansion are distributed all over Zhaoling. Most of them are influential literary figures, and there are also officials. However, there are too many restrictions around them. Muzhou is thousands of miles away from Hanjing, and Mr. Xu was under the guard at that time.  It was recommended by Marquis Yang that he came to Muzhou to be the capital of the state. No matter how much I thought about it, I felt that Mr. Xu was the best candidate, but to be on the safe side, His Majesty also secretly sent people to other places."

    Gu Yanting¡¯s answer was flawless, and Xu Yingqing asked doubtfully: ¡°Does this mean that Mr. Gu is not sure where Prince Chu is now?¡±

    Gu Yanting looked deeply into Xu Yingqing's eyes and said word for word: "It's up to Mr. Xu to cooperate with me in investigating suspicious people who have recently entered and left Muzhou in the city."

    Gu Yanting's eyes were very oppressive. Xu Yingqing said quickly: "This matter is of great importance. I will naturally do my best to cooperate with Mr. Gu."

    Xu Yingqing's attitude has always been very good, and Gu Yanting was not polite, saying: "The situation is special. I need Mr. Xu to pass on the order and temporarily give me the power to mobilize the troops and horses of Muzhou City Guards and the state government officers, and I will be under unified command."  Scheduling.¡±

    &nbsp"Well, the families of those missing people have searched everywhere they can, but they can't find them. That's why people are so panicked now, and no one dares to wander outside." The man finished his frightened plea, "  You two heroes, my home is still far away from the city. My little sister will be scared at home alone. Please be kind and let me go back as soon as possible.  "

    Gu Yanting said: "We will accompany you to deliver the goods, and you will take us to see the mass graves."

    The man didn¡¯t want to go to that place at all, and was just about to find an excuse to refuse when he heard Gu Yanting say: ¡°I can give you a horse, and you will definitely get home before dark.¡±

    A horse is worth a lot of money. The man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed.

    Half an hour later, Gu Yanting and Wu Qin arrived at the mass grave. The man did not dare to get too close. He pointed in the direction from a distance of dozens of meters and left on horseback.

    It was still some time before dark, and the mass graves didn't look so scary. Wu Qin walked and said, "These people are all talking nonsense. Someone in Hanjing committed suicide by drowning in the river before, and it didn't take long for someone to start spreading rumors."  It was said that there were water ghosts in the river threatening their lives, and many people did not dare to walk by the river during that time. In the end, it was not a big deal, these people just love to scare themselves."

    Gu Yanting did not answer his words and reminded him: "Be careful where you step."

    Wu Qin lowered his head and saw a white bone. He quickly moved a step to the side and said, "Why don't these people bury it more tightly?"

    Those who will be thrown into mass graves are mostly poor people with no family or friends. If they are lucky, they can be buried. If they are unlucky, they may be eaten by wild dogs.

    Gu Yanting walked around the cemetery and finally stopped in front of a mound.

    There is no grass growing on this mound, and the soil on it is obviously newly plowed.

    Gu Yanting squatted down, picked up the soil on the ground and twisted it, then put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it.

    There is no body odor, only the smell of soil.

    Gu Yanting thought for a moment and began to dig the soil with his hands. Wu Qin was shocked by his actions and was about to speak when Gu Yanting solemnly ordered: "dig."

    Gu Yanting¡¯s tone was very serious. Wu Qin did not dare to object and squatted down to help dig the soil.

    The soil was not buried deep, so a coffin was quickly dug out. The lid of the coffin was loose. Gu Yanting easily opened the lid, but it was empty inside.

    Wu Qin was startled, and then comforted himself and said: "It turns out to be a tomb, it scared me."

    After Wu Qin said this, he felt that he could not stand up. This was a mass grave. No one would build a tomb in a place like this. Moreover, there was nothing in the coffin, and the tomb was not built in this way.

    Gu Yanting said: "There were nails on the coffin, but there were no signs of prying from the outside, indicating that the coffin lid was pushed open from the inside."

    Wu Qin didn¡¯t want to think about the ghost side of the matter, and frowned and said, ¡°Is there a living person in the coffin, and someone wants to bury him alive?¡±

    Gu Yanting looked at Wu Qin and asked: "The space in the coffin is so small that you can't move your hands and feet. If I put you in it and nailed the lid shut with nails, would you be able to push it open?"

    Wu Qin had never encountered this kind of situation. He was about to go back and try it when he heard Gu Yanting say: "I can't."

    Wu Qin: ""

    ¡°My lord, even if you are not able to resist this with your natural strength, then I certainly can¡¯t.

    Speaking of this, Wu Qin couldn't help but admit it. He felt a little chill on his back. He looked at the empty coffin and then at Gu Yanting, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, is there anything in this coffin?"  Is that the mummy? Did it have any grievances during its lifetime and turned into a ghost to seek revenge? "

    Gu Yanting put the coffin lid back, buried the coffin with soil, and said calmly: "Every wrongdoer has his own debtor, and if a vicious ghost seeks his life, innocent people should not be harmed."

    Wu Qin said succinctly: "You have turned into a ghost, how can you still have your own sanity? It is normal to not be able to distinguish between good and evil."

    Gu Yanting stood up, looked in the direction of Muzhou City and said, "Then it's not about the evil ghosts seeking their lives, but the rampant evil spirits."

    Wu Qin came close to Gu Yanting and looked in the direction of the city gate, and asked: "Sir, if there is really a ghost, where can we ask the eminent monk to catch the ghost?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
