In the deep alley, there were green moss on the stone roads washed by heavy rain, and there was a burst of moisture from the threshold to the cracks on the doors.

At the end of the alley, a man in black sat on the ground, holding a tortoise shell in his hand and threw it down...

"This is……"

There was a circle of people around him, and when he saw the tortoise shell bounce on the ground a few times, he couldn't help but retreat.

The man raised his head, his eyes deep and had no feelings at all.

"Get the chicken..."

A chicken was sent to the man's hands.

He chanted at the chicken, and the chicken gradually stopped struggling...

He looked up at the woman standing opposite him and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, your husband's illness has been transferred to this chicken..."

The woman rushed into the house, and everyone was looking forward to the news.

"Ah! Official... Official, you got out of bed..."

A scream of joy came, and everyone looked at the man with respect and fear.

"This... I have patients at home too..."

"Go to my house first."

The man was surrounded by people in an instant, and the noise was so noisy.

"Everyone goes away!"

The two soldiers pushed away the crowd, stared at the man and said, "Huang Lin, come with us."

...

In just three days, under threats and temptations, most of the people in Bianliang City who pretended to be a ghost were cleaned up. Ouyang Xiu exclaimed why there were so many, and then he felt that he had neglected his duties and submitted a memorial to apologize.

A group of people stood in front of the government office. After identification, all those who were just pretending were driven out.

"Everyone will change your career quickly! I will be caught next time, and I will go to the north to pretend to be a ghost for the Liao people."

In the end, two men and one woman were left.

Ouyang Xiu felt that this matter was a bit inappropriate, but since the officials and the prime ministers agreed, he had no objection.

The candidate was reported, Zhao Zhen looked at it and agreed to test it in Kaifeng Prefecture the next day.

He originally wanted to take the test in the palace, but was persuaded by the prime ministers, and in the end he was even disqualified from watching.

...

"Mr...."

Shen An got up very early the next morning. After practicing martial arts with Zhe Kexing, he took a shower and changed into plainclothes.

The sky was still dark, and Zhuang Laoshi was carrying a lantern next to him and said in a tangled manner: "Mr. Lang, that's witchcraft!"

He turned around and looked at it, saying, "You don't care about yourself, but the little lady is still young..."

It doesn’t matter if you are bold, but what about Guoguo?

This is the best advice he thought about after thinking about it all night.

Shen An tidied up his collar, then yawned, and said, "I said that these things may have supernatural powers of one kind or another, but my life is very hard!"

Zhe Kexing stood behind him, holding the hilt of the knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "If someone really understands magic, I will behead him with a knife and see how supernatural he is."

The three of them left the house, and the Yulin alley was quiet.

Zhuang looked at them getting on the horse honestly, hesitated for a while, and asked the question that had been suppressed for a long time: "Langjun, what should I do if... a villain?"

"nonsense!"

Zhe Kexing gently tied his war horse, turned around and prepared to scold him.

Shen An waved his hand and said calmly: "Prepare more good dishes at home, look forward to Guoguo, and wait for me to come back."

Zhuang said honestly, then lowered his head and entered the house, and then the door was closed.

There was still moisture in the alley, and the moisture was steaming, and there was a thin mist in front of me.

Today, the front of Kaifeng Prefecture's government office is very lively and can be said to be crowded with people.

"He is Chen An?"

Chen An dismounted outside the crowd and then saw Zhao Zhongzhen.

"Brother Anbei..."

Zhao Zhongzhen's body was a little wet. He squeezed over hard and said, "I'll go in with you."

"What are you doing when you go in?"

Chen An handed the reins to Yao Lian, bowed his hands to the left and right, and said, "This matter will be over in the morning, and I will still have lunch when I go home."

Zhao Zhongzhen's eyes were full of worries, and Zhe Kexing had already opened the way first.

"don’t worry!"

Chen An nodded to him, then followed Zhe Kexing in.

The crowd silently made way aside and watched the bravest boy ever enter.

Witchcraft not only makes senior officials afraid of talking about tigers, but also stops children from crying at night among the people, so everyone thinks Chen An is crazy.

"Someone saw his sister playing with her doll holding her, which shows that the doll he made was probably fake. He dares to come now, so he is just falling into the trap!"

"That's witchcraft, it's going to kill people if they don't do it."

"The officials all say that life and death are not irrelevant, and it is so strange that no one is wrong."

"Why is he so brave?"

"He has a younger sister who is less than five years old in his family,"

“…”

There were gradually more discussion around. In everyone's opinion, Chen An went in and stood up, but he was afraid he would lie down when he came out.

"If my heart is there, my dream is there... Brother An, we support you."

"The whole people are united and their strength will be cut off."

" Passion makes dreams come true, dreams come true!"

"If you want to succeed, go crazy first, and rush forward with a simple mind!"

A neat voice suddenly came, suppressing the discussion.

Everyone turned around and saw more than a hundred people standing outside, everyone was shouting with flushed faces.

Chen An bowed to the other side and said, "Thank you."

Most of these vendors come from Zhouqiao Night Market. It is the peak of dining, but they give up their business and come here to cheer for Chen'an.

Chen An bowed his hands all the way until Ouyang Xiu appeared inside the gate.

Ouyang Xiu rubbed his eyes, then looked at Chen An for a while, and said, "It's Guanzhe Chen!"

Chen An smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work by Ouyang."

Ouyang Xiu turned around and said, "It's not hard work, those three people have arrived. Are you sure?"

He looked at Chen An and asked seriously: "This is the last chance. If you regret it, I can find a reason to stop this."

"I walked out of the house before, the sky was pitch black."

Chen An helped him and said, "Be careful."

Ouyang Xiu said: "I have a bad eye, but I see the dawn."

On the edge of the sky in the east, a touch of fish belly floated up, with a faint purple color behind it.

Chen An glanced at Chen Xi and said, "The witchcraft incident originated from his ancestors. People's affairs are mostly obscure. People who are illegal in the folk often use the name of witchcraft to deceive people. Ouyang Gong, if this obscure can be eliminated, then my adventure today will be worth it."

Ouyang Xiu looked at him sideways and said after a while: "It looks quite white and tender, okay, okay!"

Chen An touched his face and thought to himself that he had been basking in the sun more recently, isn’t it a bit dark?

Before arriving at the lobby, the two men and one woman were already standing by and waiting.

At this moment, the purple in the sky was soaring, and a minor official sighed: "The magistrate bathed in this purple, and he must go to the Political Affairs Hall to accompany the official family day and night."

This flattery is good, Chen Anduo glanced at the little official.

But Ouyang Xiu was just calm. He took the initiative to go to the hall and then ordered: "Let's see if you are here?"

Today is a grand event, and the prime ministers will join hands to watch the battle, which is a testimony.

Chen An was looking at the two men and one woman. Both men were thin and looked indifferent.

But the only middle-aged woman was a little fat, looking at her smiling, very amiable.

These are all witches, and if they were, they would definitely be taken to the desert to dig coal.
