During the Qingming season, light rain adds a sad color to the city surrounded by mountains. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOn both sides of the river that pass through the city, people in a hurry rush through the city from time to time. The green that emerged from the distant mountains was added to the chill because of the light rain.
In the hotel in the city, there were several masked people sitting in the tightly locked rooms, and a red-hot charcoal fire was placed in the center, illuminating every face that tried to hide. Everyone's voices were low and slightly mysterious. What summoned them here was a letter from the capital, and an event that was close to everyone. Everyone was pretending to be calm, but it was clear that everyone was nervous. Is it true that the old thing from ten years ago is being brought up again?
"Who can make any waves here? Isn't it...... The people above are too careful? It's just a rumor. One of the people sitting in the doorway spoke unconvinced.
The person sitting at the front remained silent all the time, and after his gaze swept over the crowd, he sighed slightly, but did not speak.
"Big brother's courage is really getting smaller and smaller? Is it higher to sit down? The less daring? Let's not talk about anything else, is there anything else we can't do? It's a big deal...... ten years ago," said in a deep voice next to the second person who spoke before.
"Shut up!" The man at the head stopped the person who spoke in a deep voice, he glared at the two people, and said with a hard shiver before speaking: "What's wrong?" Do you want to see the tragedy happen again? Are you really not afraid that the descendants of their Fan family will really come back for revenge? Don't forget, after that fire, three people disappeared...... It's been ten years, and if those people do come back, you're not afraid of them......"
"What's so scary? That's three kids, what else can they do? What do you dare to come back with your bare hands? Isn't it the same as pinching an ant to pinch them to death? The man closest to the door couldn't help but speak. Obviously, there was a bit of dissatisfaction with the man in his tone.
"Amitabha! Sin! Sin! I'm old, so you naturally don't want to listen to me as an old man nagging here, but don't forget, if you don't get rid of the roots, you will have endless troubles in the future! Since the eldest brother has written a letter, you have to be careful to guard against any possibility. Our plan is about to succeed, and even if we can't help our eldest brother, we can't make any mistakes. Now that we're on the cusp of this, it's better for you to keep a low profile. She ...... old man" The old man at the head sighed and touched his long beard.
Everyone was silent, and the reaction was satisfying to the man in charge. He pondered for a moment before he whispered, "Just before I came here, I heard about ...... There are traces of worship on the graves of that family, so I am worried about ......"
This sudden news made everyone explode, they looked at each other and whispered a lot of talk, which was obviously news they did not want to hear.
"Do you want us to ......" The man sitting at the door gestured, and a grim light flashed in his eyes, "As long as they dare to return to the city, I will guarantee that they will have a life to return, and no life to leave!" ”
"I'll send someone to keep an eye on it to see if there's anyone suspicious." The man in the lead sighed and said, "It's good that you know the news. If it really is...... The descendants of their family are back here! Then we have to be ready...... The most important thing at the moment is, have you heard about Yixiuyuan? ”
Everyone looked at the leader in surprise, and the old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "At the beginning, we invested a few thousand taels of silver to build that annex for the former prefect. It's a pity that he has the life to live in it, but he doesn't have the life to enjoy it. That house has been empty for three years, right? I heard that just last month, someone spent 2,500 taels of silver to get the title deed of that garden, and I am afraid that it will not be long before a new owner will move in. ”
"Two thousand five hundred taels of silver? Bought such a big house that has been abandoned for three years? You can't go wrong, right? Could it be that there are really people who are willing to run over and be wronged? Someone asked in surprise, "Didn't they offer two thousand taels at the beginning?" Why is it an extra 500 taels? Isn't it ......"
"How could their family make a loss-making deal? Maybe the person who bought the house didn't inquire clearly, right? We did put a lot of effort into decorating the house. But I heard that the valuable things in the house had been emptied long before the previous prefect had an accident, so I was curious, who is the new owner of Yixiu Garden? How could you spend so much money to buy an empty house. Besides, ordinary people may not be able to afford such a large amount of money, right? The man at the head pondered for a moment before continuing, "You still have to keep an eye on it to see if it's friend or foe." Like the boss, I still hope that the city will be calm in the past two years and that there will be no accidents. ”
The carbon fire in the basin was even more vigorous, and in the firelight, someone's eyes looked quite crazy. Ten years ago, it was also a rainy night before Qingming, the first sweet fragrance in the air was filled, and then there was a raging fire, there was no sound in the silent night, even the dogs that barked on weekdays were also asleep, and even in the fire, no one heard the screams, as if everything had stopped. It wasn't until the two guards in charge of the patrol noticed the skyrocketing fire that they shouted loudly. Although many people rushed to hear the news, the fire was so strong that it eventually became a fire field. The disgusting smell of burnt did not slowly dissipate until a long time later.
Some people say that the owner of the house could not accept the consequences that he was about to face, so he set fire to everything, including his own family; Some people also say that the servants were disgruntled and deliberately retaliated, but they didn't think that the fire was too big and destroyed everything. Even the conclusions given by the government are ambiguous, so there is no change except for the increase in the number of officials patrolling the streets and the strengthening of fire prevention inspections in each household by the lieutenants.
How did the tragedy happen? No one can come to a definite conclusion, and that topic has become taboo for everyone. But now, things seem to have quietly changed.
"You should be well aware of what the eldest brother once said." Just as everyone was gradually leaving, the old man turned his gaze to the person who had been silent, "There are some things that you should also decide. ”
"I will." The cold voice rang out, and he shook his hand, then put what he was holding on the table and got up to leave.
"It's still the same." The old man sighed and lowered his head, only to find that the piece that the man had pinched before still had Martian carbon. He couldn't help but shudder.
