What about Yuliang's voice? What about the child's crying? What about the busy footsteps of the midwives and servants?

Could it be that the speculation he had endured in his heart all these years had finally become a nightmare and come true?

Di Ying's wide forehead was sweating and raining frequently, and the Liuhe boots wrapped in Baoxianghua plain weave brocade were stuck to the bluestone brick surface, unable to move.

When Lang Zhong diagnosed that Yu Liang was pregnant with Rokka, he was lucky enough to think that the woman's spirit had let him go, and it seemed that he was wrong.

Couldn't be more wrong.

The dim light in front of him turned into chaos, his mind buzzed, he staggered back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.

"Master-" The originally narrow door was opened, and a fat body walked out of it, holding a splendid swaddling cloth in his arms, standing under the eaves and whispering, "Master-"

After a few sounds, Di Ying came back to his senses, looked at the midwife's face in confusion, slowly moved his gaze, fell on the swaddling clothes, and said, "This is ・・・・・・"

The midwife loosened her arm and stopped talking.

Di Ying didn't want to listen to her, Yu Yu moved to the porch, the swaddling clothes were tightly wrapped, and the corner of the brocade quilt covered the baby's little face.

No crying, no wheezing.

Except for the pungent smell of blood, there was not a trace of life.

Di Ying's mind "buzzed" with a roar, his thick palm slowly raised, trembled twice in midair, and still stretched out to the covered baby's face along the original path.

Variables happen at this moment.

The wind suddenly rose, and the flowers and plants planted in the courtyard shook violently at the same time, and the plum tree in the corner of the wall, which was about to fade its color, suddenly gave birth to full of young shoots, and then grew into buds, and in an instant bloomed a large area of white flowers.

Di Ying and the midwife watched in amazement as the flowers in the garden returned to silence from death to life, like an empty dream.

As a result, they did not see the moonlight in the dark night sky, and at some point it had revealed a crooked corner, and the layers of dark clouds had broken up and turned into speckled cotton wool.

Then, there was a faint hissing from the southeast corner of the house, and before Di Ying could turn his head, his body suddenly suffered a sharp pain, and the blood gurgled like boiling water, flowing rapidly in his body.

He didn't care about the midwife next to him, and even the screams rang out in the house.

The baby was abandoned on the ground, and the swaddling clothes lifted the corners, revealing a pair of eyes covered with white mist, and the pupils were dilated, as if they were stillborn.

When Di Ying was struggling against the pillars, he glanced at it, and a chill suddenly felt in his heart, why were the eyes of the dead baby open?

The pain lasted for half a cup of tea, and then disappeared without warning, and there was no trace left, as if it was just a nightmare for everyone to have together.

Without having time to think about it, Di Ying stood up straight, looked away from the baby, turned his back to the swaddling clothes, and instructed the pregnant woman with a hot face, "Leave it to Steward Xu to dispose of." ”

The midwife wiped the sweat stains with her cuffs, hurriedly answered "yes", got up and walked to the baby's side, without looking, first covered her little face, and walked quickly towards the hospital with her arms in the crook of her arm.

The calls in the house died down one after another, and several serving maids walked out of the house one after another with the sundries that induced labor, Di Ying vaguely saw You Liang hiding his face and crying through the rich screen, sighed, and turned to leave.

The next day, the sun was in the sky, the chill of midwinter had not yet dissipated, the chaotic streets from time to time stirred up the warm spring breeze, a jujube-colored horse paced leisurely, on the horseback Di Ying pulled the reins with one hand, and rubbed the sore eyebrows with the other. He was followed by four attendants, frowning and bowing their heads.

Outside the general's mansion, a yellow-haired old man and several family members have been waiting respectfully in front of the door, seeing Di Ying returning from a distance, trotting forward, taking the reins he handed over, a family member knelt down under the horse, his forehead touched the ground, and only got up after Di Ying stepped on his back and landed.

"Master, breakfast is ready, are you eating in the hall or in the study?" The yellow-haired old man followed Di Ying into the mansion one step away.

"Study", Di Ying said casually, his figure paused, and he hesitated slightly, "Madam・・・・・・ how's it going?" ”

"The house doctor saw it in the morning, and said that it was a loss of qi and blood, and it was necessary to replenish qi and nourish blood, so he prescribed a prescription, and his wife fell asleep after taking the medicine."

"Tell the kitchen to make some ginseng soup for Mrs. these days to replenish her body, and tell the maidservants who served Mrs. last night not to spread the word in the house, if there is a broken mouth and trouble, whipping and serving!"

"Yes"

"By the way, the midwife ・・・・・・"

"Don't worry, master, it was dealt with last night."

"Hmm", Di Ying then raised his feet and walked towards the study.

Half an hour later, Di Ying, who was dressed in regular clothes, sat at the table, the grain of rice did not move, even if the study burned two copper stoves, the fire in the furnace was strong, and the hot porridge still turned into cold burning.

Di Ying's heart swirled with the baby's bruised face and the godless eyes, as well as the sudden sharp pain last night, all the strange signs seemed to coincide with his years of hidden worries.

The ghost of the woman was in the mansion, and even ・・・・・・ her unborn child, and they followed him from the battlefield to the capital and to the general's mansion to avenge the death of the year.

The wife has been infertile for many years, the father and son are out of harmony, and the stillbirth is on the ground, all because of ghosts.

It must be so!

Di Ying became more and more sure of his suspicions, and there was anger on his usually quiet face, and the subordinates who served on the side were worried, for fear that an oversight would lead to the anger he was about to unleash.

"Let's all go down, Steward Xu stays." Di Ying pushed the dishes away and suddenly made a sound.

The subordinates immediately let out a sigh of relief, eager to rush out, intimidated by the majesty of the master on weekdays, and the feet were still in order.

When the last servant turned around and closed the door, and his footsteps gradually walked away, Di Ying hurriedly glanced at Steward Xu, and quickly fell, his words revealing a bit of vanity, "Where is the corpse now?" ”

"The East Courtyard was abandoned for a long time, and there was no one to live, so the old slave fell into the East Courtyard Lake and sank into it."

Daqing was established for more than ten years, the general's mansion was given by the emperor in the first year of Shixing, it was the residence of the prime minister of the previous dynasty, the pattern was grand, covering an area of hundreds of acres, the layout was spacious and luxurious, and the gold and silver were innumerable, in addition to the money carried by the prime minister of the previous dynasty before he left, the gold and silver treasures that were plundered and looted in the year of war were even more innumerable.

Someone once calculated that the money accumulated by the prime minister of the previous dynasty was as much as the tax paid by the whole country in the previous dynasty for ten years!

Greed and evil coexist, and in the prime minister's mansion, where sewage and filth flow together, there are unjust souls everywhere.

The East Courtyard is nameless, but because it is located in the easternmost part of the mansion, it is named the East Courtyard.

It is said that every time someone stops breathing in the deep night, the body will be quietly thrown into the large lake in the east courtyard, and as the years go by, the culvert connecting the bottom of the lake and the outside of the city will be blocked, and the lake will stink and overgrow with ghosts and grass. The souls of the unjustly killed remained in the lake and turned into water ghosts, whimpering and howling in the dark night.

Since Di Ying moved in, he abandoned the east courtyard and did not use it, and everyone who had heard of it avoided it, so few people set foot on it. Only the horse ring is next to it.

Di Ying said "um" and asked, "Did you have anything unusual last night・・・・・・ such as ・・・・・・ blood fever?" ”

Steward Xu, who had been lowering his eyebrows and lowering his eyes, was stunned when he heard this, and nodded slowly at Di Ying, "The old slave does feel this way, but it will disappear in a moment, and it is not a big problem." ”

If this is the case, Di Ying secretly tightened his fists, it seems that not only his husband and wife, but also the whole general's mansion are persecuted by him, whether you are a ghost left over from the previous dynasty, or the mother and son, you must not let them stay here for a long time!

"You go out of the city today and find a Taoist priest who can drive away the evil as soon as possible," Di Ying said in a low voice, "This matter needs to be kept secret, so that outsiders must not detect it." ”

Steward Xu couldn't help but be surprised, and drove away the evil Taoist priest - could it be that the old man suspected that there were ghosts and monsters in the mansion?

Although there were many doubts in his heart, he calmly bowed his head and promised, "Yes", and was about to retreat after speaking, Di Ying changed his mind again, "Let's leave tomorrow, close the east courtyard first." ”

"Yes"

With this matter settled, Di Ying's heart was a little calm, so he remembered the incident of this morning's dynasty, and instructed separately, "You go to investigate the situation in King Cheng's mansion, and report as soon as there is any movement." “

"Yes", Steward Xu's eyelids were half-drooping, and there was nothing else on his face except for deference.

"Okay, let's go out and call Zhao Liu and the others." Di Ying got up, left the round table, and walked to the inner room.

Steward Xu looked up and saw that the food on the table had long since run out of heat, so he asked, "There is still warm porridge on the stove, but do you want the old slave to bring it?" ”

Di Ying walked to the side of the long case, glanced sideways, and replied nonchalantly, "No need, order someone to take it down." ”
