The next morning, the sky was gloomy and Lanruo Temple, which was originally more deserted, suddenly became very lively. For nothing else, it was another bizarre murder that happened here last night that attracted more than 30 residents from Jinhua to stop and watch.

In the west wing room, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom colonel was lying on the cold haystack, showing fear on his face, and many molds appeared on his face. Before he died, he seemed to have encountered something unclear.

For Jinhua people, Lanruo Temple is a gloomy place where strange events often occur. Over the years, people have died or disappeared here bizarrely from time to time. However, most of the foreign tourists who come to have fun are ordinary people. Now, famous figures like Wang Dun who have a certain status and are also a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have encountered unexpected problems, which inevitably leads to a lot of discussion.

"Oh, my god, I saw this long-haired general appearing in the city a few days ago. Why did he suddenly die in this ghost place?"

"That's right, he died just the same way as those people before. He had mold on his body, so he must have encountered something unclean? Alas, if he had known that he had spent the night here yesterday, we came here to capture him, and today we would give it to the Chu army, which would be at least fifty taels of silver!"

"Yes, but this long hair is really brave. If I changed to me, I would have goose bumps all over my body after hearing the name "Lan Ruo Temple". How attractive does this have to be to dare to spend the night here?"

"What else can it be? Men and women's affairs. They are under the prime minister of the Changmao Army, and they cannot live together even if they get married. I have heard that he has a good friend. Could it be that's the reason?"

"Oh my God, Zeng Guofan is about to take over Tianjing, and the long hairs are about to collapse. Now that they are encountering such evil things, it's really God is going to destroy them."

"If you die, you will die. If you die, you will be able to return to the Qing Dynasty. Anyway, the people will suffer. If you die, the people will suffer. If you are in power, we will not have a good life."

...

Everyone was talking about some sensitive topics, and suddenly someone whispered: "Hey, hey, stop talking, Zuo Zongtang's people are here."

Sure enough, two officers and soldiers dressed in Chu army had entered the temple gate of Lanruo Temple and walked quickly towards the crowd on the west side. While walking, they shouted: "Get out of the way, go all the way!"

Everyone immediately restrained their chats, made a way out silently, and asked the two soldiers to step forward. About half of the onlookers were unwilling to get angry, so they tactfully left the door and dispersed. The remaining half wanted to see what was going on, but they stopped after taking a few steps and continued to watch quietly.

The two soldiers were too lazy to deal with everyone's stay and walked to Wang Dun's corpse. When they saw the tragic corpse, they were so shocked that they grew up, but they had to take on the task of carrying the corpse. They could no longer take off their headscarf, wrap their mouths and noses, and then covered the prepared white cloth around the body, twisted Wang Dun's hands and feet, and slowly carried him away.

When they arrived at the crowd, the two felt their hands sore, and then put the body on the ground first, relaxing their muscles and bones, and saring to everyone.

Soldier Ar asked, "Hey, what do you all know? Tell us quickly."

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to answer, and no one dared to withdraw from the temple at this moment. It seemed that if they were the first to stand out, they would become the target of the Chu army.

Seeing that no one answered, the soldier continued to whisper: "We know that if you don't say it, we know that as soon as our Chu army entered the city this morning, we received a report from the people, saying that there were monsters in Lanruo Temple, and suspected that the long-haired general Wang Dun died at the hands of monsters. Although we have not held him responsible, I want to warn you that the evil sayings must not be spread in the city from the day our Qing army recovered Jinhua, otherwise it will be treated as a confusing public. You must also go back and tell your relatives and friends that this person was just a death from ordinary plague. Now the court has rescued the people from Changmao. Our military and civilians must work together to prevent Changmao from counterattacking, and not to disturb the hearts of the military and the people. Do you understand?"

Seeing that everyone agreed timidly, the soldier waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's go home. It's okay, don't come to Lanruo Temple again."

Seeing that the soldiers were no longer in trouble, everyone dared not stay for more. After the leaders bowed to the two soldiers, they went out the door together. In a blink of an eye, only two soldiers were left looking at each other in the courtyard.

After everyone left, the surroundings became quiet again, and the two soldiers sighed deeply and began a real conversation.

Soldier Yi said, "What should I do? This morning I heard that Changmao died in Lanruo Temple. The first thing I thought of was the legend of the banshee. He prayed in his heart that I would not let me see the mold of the body. But when I came here, Wang Dun really died of that unclean thing."

Soldier said, "You know some things, but when you face the people, what else can we say? As Lord Zuo's subordinates, we were also taken care of by him in the past. Now the only thing we can do is to appease the hearts of the people."

Soldier B asked again: "Then, do we want to report the truth?"

Soldier A thought for a while and said, "I don't want to do it either, but once this corpse is carried to Lord Zuo, it is certainly impossible to hide it. We shouldn't wash the mold and carry it back, right? At that time, if we find out that we hide it, it will be a serious crime. Have you investigated it? What kind of people are there in front of Changmao?"

Soldier Yi said: "According to the people, Wang Dun did not marry, nor did he have children. The old parents in the family had already died of illness. There was only one younger brother who was eight years younger than him who was still farming in Lanxi County. The man was far away from this place. It seems that he was not the target of Wang Dun's infection, but someone else, most of whom he knew privately, so I could find out anything."

Soldier A sighed, "Yes, I come here late at night and don't go home at night. What else can I do besides those things? But once I report it to Lord Zuo, would he send us to capture his brother without hesitation? Alas, if I don't report it, we will have to work harder to go there."

Soldier Yi said, "Who knows? No matter what, let's tell the truth."

The two reached an agreement and stopped talking. They lifted Wang Dun's body again and walked out of the temple gate. After getting up and down the stairs, they placed Wang Dun's body in the carriage of the double horse and carriage, each of them took a horse and drove to the military camp located in the southern part of Jinhua City.
