Chapter Forty-Nine: The Evil General's Mansion

Winter in the north is always accompanied by a biting chill.

Standing at the entrance of the Japanese Shogun's Mansion in a thick cotton coat and mink cloak, she looked up at the snowflakes in the sky and suddenly laughed.

Although winter does not have the vigor of spring, the scorching sun of summer, and the crisp and fruitful autumn of autumn, winter always brings joy inadvertently.

In winter, the trees have lost their leaves and show their bare branches, and the snow will fall and cover the ground with a thick white blanket.

The long snow never seems to end, and the lonely streets will be lively, and a few children in beggar's costumes will slip out to build snowmen and have snowball fights.

She seems to like the winter of the northern country a little, although it is very cold, but there is a warmth and hope that other seasons cannot match.

"Hehe, let's go inside. Higashino Que stretched out his hand and motioned for her to come over and hold it.

He was not annoyed, he followed his wishes, walked forward and held him affectionately, and walked in, "Dong Yeque, I am very cooperative, I hope you don't disappoint me too much." ”

"Don't worry. Higashinoque's determination always reassures her.

"Is it Mr. Higashino?" a white-haired old man in a military uniform walked out, and although he could see that he was old, he was still full of energy.

"General Cangtian, fortunately. Higashino Que saluted politely, and then pointed to the Harmony beside him, "This is my wife, who came with me, called Harmony." ”

"Oh...... Hello Hello, Miss Hello. The old general held out his hand politely, but shook his head.

"She's more introverted, don't mind the general. "Higashino Que hurried to play the round.

"I thought you would marry Keiko Chida, but I didn't expect it to be a Chinese woman, so I guess I know how to do it. ”

"She's also a talisman. ”

The old general nodded, and then vigilantly asked a few soldiers behind him to withdraw and personally sent them to the room.

As soon as he arrived in the room, the old general hurriedly closed the door and glanced back at Higashino Que, a little hesitant, as if he couldn't talk about it.

"Mr. Higashino, please save them! There is something wrong with this broken city, my soldiers and I have been tortured for many days, and we can't bear it if it continues like this. ”

"You speak slowly, don't be in a hurry. He said softly.

The old general cleared his throat, his originally flustered expression calmed down a little, and his tone eased.

"To tell the truth, after we occupied the three eastern provinces, I specially chose this mansion as the general's mansion, the previous owner of this mansion was the owner of the largest commercial house in the entire north, seeing the fall of the north before the family went south, I heard that the Chinese are extremely believe in feng shui, so I invited a few feng shui gentlemen to come and see, saying that this is a murderous house, I didn't think at the time, insisted on living, who knows that since I moved in, a soldier has died every day under my hands, and the death is extremely tragic, better is drowned in the well or hanged in the house, a few are bleeding upside down on the sorghum, and there are corpses, so I have to consider the words of those feng shui gentlemen, what kind of evil thing is doing it, please take a look at Mr. Higashino. ”

"That Higashino must live up to General Cangtian's trust, but I have one condition. ”

"Speak. ”

"My wife is sick, it's cold in the north, I'm going to find a room with a fireplace, and then you must have someone to take turns guarding her all day, and keep her safe. Higashino glanced at him, "She's my only weakness, and if anything goes wrong with her, I can't do anything." ”

"Mr. and Mrs. Higashino are really in love, you can rest assured of this, I will arrange it immediately. General Cangtian also glanced at Yuhe, immediately waved his hand, signaled his men to do it, and then glanced at Dongye Que and was silent.

"How long have you been living in?"

"It's been less than a year. ”

"So that means two or three hundred people have died around this time?"

"Since the soldiers died, the soldiers who were out of rotation have moved to the next house. General Cangtian hurriedly walked to the window, respectfully opened the curtains, and pointed to the surrounding several dilapidated houses.

Higashino Que followed, and through the window, he saw that the surrounding houses were covered with snow, but when he arrived in front of the General's Mansion, there was no trace of snow at all, and he felt it carefully, as if he really didn't feel much chill in this mansion.

"Looking at the snow outside, this house is warm. She also found out about this problem, and she chuckled, "It's also a good thing, I've always had a cold disease, and I'm not afraid of the cold here, and it is worthy of the house specially selected by the general." ”

"Miss Yihe has won the award, I also found this problem when I chose this house, the reason is very simple, the underground of this house is hollow, I can put the heater in the basement for warmth, and then ah, the whole house is very warm, and there is no need to burn coal and charcoal, which saves a lot of trouble. ”

"I see, it's just that what the basement was used for before, has the general ever understood?"

"Hey, anyway, when I went to it for the first time, I found that the basement was very evil, there were blood stains everywhere, and there were some things painted with blood on the walls, and the ghost drew a mess like a charm, and then I ordered someone to rebuild it, and now it's very clean inside, and it's all stoves, and it's warm and tight. The general was still a little proud at the mention of this, but his face sank instantly.

Higashino glanced at him, and then his face sank.

"What's going on?"

"General, my wife and I have something to say, borrow it. Higashino Que pulled Yuhe to the side and asked softly, "What's the matter, did you think of something?"

"Where is there blood stains on the walls? In our China, there is only one place, and that is the prison prison," he hesitated for a moment, "The prison is the place where the yin qi is the most abundant, and I have observed, the structure of this house is also extremely strange, like a coffin, the roof is like a coffin lid, in order to seal something, logically speaking, there is a boss living in front, and it is impossible to set up a prison in your own home." ”

"You mean, this general told a lie?"

He nodded firmly, "If the general didn't lie, it was the boss of the trading house in front of him who lied, his real identity is definitely not this, so he can build a cell at home, although the yamen does not act, but it is still very hard to deal with this serious violation of the law." ”

"Okay, I know, let's go and trick this general's words, if he is lying, then he must be hiding something, it seems that this general's mansion still hides a lot of secrets!" Dong Ye Que leaned into the ear of Yu He and said, "We have to be careful, especially your Yin Blood Talisman and Roulette, you must not take it out unless you have to." ”

"Don't worry, I know it. He nodded.
