Episode 10

Gardener Feng Qing was packing his things and preparing to leave when Lou Mingye and Lan Che arrived.Feng Qing asked why the two of them were here, and Lan Che asked him if he was leaving.Feng Qing said that this village was haunted and full of dead people. If he didn't leave, he might lose his life and make money.Lou Mingye asked him whether he was afraid of ghosts or people, and Feng Qing asked him what he meant.Lou Mingye said that he had found out whether the murderer was a human or a ghost. He asked Feng Qing if he didn't want to hear it.Feng Qing said that these were things that had nothing to do with him, so he might as well not listen.Lou Mingye said that he still listened, and Feng Qing was invited to the inn.

Li Mo said, didn’t Lou find the murderer tomorrow night? Who is it?Feng Qing said that the murderer was the ghost of a girl killed by the Huang family before. He asked Lou Mingye if their Dali Temple was still planning to catch ghosts.Fang Tingge asked him what he was talking nonsense about, and Lou Mingye said what he said was not wrong.However, Huang Fuxing died mysteriously, and Mrs. Huang died at home, which made people suspect that ghosts were at work.But this is not caused by ghosts, but by people.Li Mo said that Huang Fuxing died because his internal organs were frozen. How could it be man-made?Huanxi broke the stone that was taken out of Huang Fuxing's stomach, and he poured water on the stone.The stone turned into ice when it met water, so his internal organs could be frozen.

Lou Mingye said that he had never figured out what was going on before, but this morning Lan Che came to his room and sprinkled water on it, and the stone turned into ice.Lou Mingye said that this kind of stone was saltpeter, and Li Mo said that it was only found in military camps in Liangzhou.Because saltpeter turns into ice when it meets water, many wealthy people use it to relieve the heat.Lou Mingye said that he didn't understand why there was saltpeter in Huang Fuxing's stomach until he heard from Huang Fuxing's servants that Huang Fuxing had the habit of taking elixirs. He knew that someone must have mixed saltpeter into the elixirs that Huang Fuxing took.

Feng Qing said what he said had anything to do with him, and Lou Mingye said it was because he was the one who mixed saltpeter into the elixir.Lou Ming found the knife used by Feng Qing to eat rabbit meat in the ruined temple that night. It was the knife used by the Liangzhou army.Moreover, Liangzhou soldiers were accustomed to carving their names on the handles of their swords. He asked Feng Qing to take out the sword and have a look.Feng Qing put the knife on the table. He said that it was indeed his knife and that he had also served as a soldier in Liangzhou.But just saying that he is the murderer is a bit unjustifiable.How could Lan Che explain that the whole village was haunted that night? Lou Mingye said that what they saw that night was all fantasy.I had no clue at first, but Huanxi reminded myself.

He told Lou that the flower that begs girls at night is also called the Mengpo flower, and the pollen of this flower has the miraculous effect of making people see terrifying phantoms.Feng Qing described Meng Po's flowers as the flowers that spread in Huaisha Village. That night, he used the rain to spread pollen in the royal family.Lou Mingye said that Feng Qing originally wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the house and kill Old Mrs. Huang, but he did not expect that she was so old that she was frightened to death.So Feng Qing took the opportunity to place Fang Baixue's tablet in front of her and put her in a kneeling position.Everyone mistakenly thought that the young lady was causing trouble. Feng Qing said that the story he told was indeed wonderful, but he had no evidence.

Lou Mingye said yes, and he took out some cockleburs.Lou Mingye said that he had asked the villagers in Huaisha Village and found that only the ruined temple contained cockleburs.These cockleburs were what he found on the body of old Mrs. Huang. Lan Che knew that they might have fallen on Feng Qing's body when she was moving the body.Feng Qing admitted that he was Fang Baixue's husband who was a soldier in the army, and he did this for revenge.Lan Che thought that the white-haired crazy woman was helping him, and Lou Mingye and the others were going to take the white-haired Wu Niang away.But Huang Gui kidnapped Lan Che as a hostage in order to save Wuniang. It turned out that Wuniang and Huang Gui were biological siblings.However, Huang Gui and Wu Niang were killed during their escape. Lou Mingye asked Feng Qing who instructed him to sell begging girls in Huaisha Village.Feng Qing said that the person saved him in Liangzhou, but he didn't know who it was.Huali brought a bowl of antidote for Lan Che to drink. Lan Che thought of Lou Mingye and gave it to him. Lou Mingye said that he couldn't taste it, but the bowl was sweet.
