Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Haunted House

Liu Yan took a sip of tea, smelled this, and almost didn't spray a sip of tea on Bai Lijin's face, what kind of evil wind did this Hou Ye smoke to say such a thing, Liu Yan didn't believe it, just glanced at him lightly, and didn't say anything.

Bai Lijin knew that he was boring, so he was not funny, but after a while, a man dressed as a small guy pushed the door in, respectfully walked to the side of the two and whispered: "The little one is Xiao Yuzi, I don't know if the two adults have something to find the little one?" ”

"Look up." Liu Yan spoke softly, only looking at it slightly, the man looked very ordinary, but there was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes, and it was also a person who lived in such a place, who did not have a little cleverness.

"I heard about the ghost house, and it was first spread by you?" Liu Yan also got straight to the point without too much nonsense, and went straight to the center as soon as she came.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuzi was stunned, and then looked up with some annoyance and said: "Yes, yes, yes, but it was passed out by the boy's muddy mouth, but the little one also heard from a few drunk adults, and he didn't mention it to outsiders, but only talked about it to a few friends who drank and meat, and it must have been passed on by those few guys who don't have long eyes." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yan didn't pay attention to it, and only chuckled: "You don't have to worry about it, just say what you know, and you will be rewarded for what you say." Liu Yan said as she took out a gold ingot from her cuff and put it on the table.

Seeing the gold ingots, Xiao Yuzi's face was full of red, with a pair of eyes with covetousness, and hurriedly said: "It was a few days ago that I was serving a few adults to drink, and I heard them talk about this ghost house, this house was originally the house of the former dynasty of a large businessman's house, divided into the vestibule atrium and **, the vestibule is used as a shop, the atrium and ** are the same as the inner courtyard of ordinary large families, covering a huge area, but no one knows what business was running in this family at that time, only that the family at that time was one of the best, Even some princes and nobles are not as rich as it, and they can be called rich and rival the country, but somehow, decades ago, the people of the big family died overnight, the shops were deserted, and the people were gone, and the family has been in decline ever since. ”

"You mean overnight?" Liu Yan muttered, according to what Xiao Yuzi said, this merchant must be very powerful in the previous dynasty, after all, not everyone has a rich family, and there are many people, how could they all die overnight? Don't......

Liu Yan looked at Bai Li Jin slightly, only to see that he also happened to look over, and the eyes of the two looked at each other and saw something from each other's eyes, yes, Liu Yan's guess must be the same as Bai Li Jin, can have such an ability to make such a flourishing family fall overnight, except for the palace, I am afraid that there is no second choice, but why does the palace want to make a move on the Shang Jia family?

Is it because it is so rich?

Before Liu Yan could think about it, Xiao Yuzi responded: "Exactly, not only that, I heard that after the collapse of this family, there were some robbers who went to the house to steal the jewelry, but not only did the jewelry not be stolen, but the person gave his life in vain, and then there were some bold people who entered the house, but none of them came out alive, but there was once a dying person who brought out a sentence, saying that there was no treasure in it, only a ghost who asked for his life, so far, the notoriety of this ghost house has spread." It's just that because the house is not only in a good location, but also covers a huge area, after many years, there have been large families who want to fight it, but because of rumors, they didn't dare to go privately, but just reported to the official, planning to go to investigate with other officers and soldiers, but this official is used to being a bit of a prestige, I heard about this kind of thing, who dares to take risks, is that although everyone is greedy for this house, no one dares to move. ”

After Xiao Yuzi finished speaking, he greedily swept to the golden ingots on the table, secretly swallowed his saliva, and didn't dare to open his mouth indiscriminately, Liu Yan also made a gamble in her heart when she heard this, this house itself is a treasure, but it is also a treasure that is difficult to hold.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Yuzi pretending to be calm, looked back and swept the gold ingots on the table, threw it casually, threw it in front of Xiao Yuzi and said: "That's good, this is a reward for you, it's just that some stories are just to tell, decades have passed, there is no way to refute whether it is true or false, or less people know." ”

Liu Yan's words Xiao Yuzi heard it in his heart, and with his shrewdness, it was impossible not to understand what Liu Yan meant, so he only nodded again and again: "Don't worry, adults, the little ones won't mention it to outsiders." ”

"Let's go down." As soon as Liu Yan beckoned, Xiao Yuzi flew out, presumably like taking this gold ingot.

Looking back at Bai Lijin, who had been silent, Liu Yan chuckled and said, "I didn't like to be silent before, but what's wrong with it lately, I don't like to talk anymore." ”

"Once upon a time?" Hearing this, Bai Lijin raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked with a hint of doubt.

Liu Yan was stunned, and hurriedly covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, even when you were in Wancheng, your mouth was very fast." ”

Hearing this, Bai Lijin seemed to be a little lost, and shook his head lightly and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Compared to you, it's really nothing." ”

"But what are you going to do now?" Bai Lijin is obviously a little unsure of Liu Yan's style of doing things, so he asked this, not to mention how Liu Yan is, he said that he heard what Xiao Yuzi said before, and he was a little depressed in his heart.

"I'm going to go to the official master and ask him to send troops to take a look." Liu Yan chuckled while drinking tea, looking calm, not disturbed by Xiao Yuzi's words before.

Bai Lijin was also very impressed, but she was still a little stunned when she heard Liu Yan's plan, and asked inexplicably: "I don't think the official will send troops there." ”

"Of course not." Liu Yan smiled even more cunningly, blinked slightly and looked at Baili Jin, Bai Li Jin looked at Liu Yan's naughty appearance and was in a trance for a moment, but for a moment he understood Liu Yan's plan, and couldn't help laughing softly: "Sure enough, it's a treacherous little fox." ”

"I've won the prize, compared with Brother Baili, I can only be considered immature." Liu Yan didn't hear a trace of pampering in Baili Jin's words, but just replied casually.
