Chapter 5 The First Entry into North Los Angeles

"I thought you were really that kind, but I didn't expect you to just lack an errand." Gong Li muttered all the way, flicking the two sleeves of his big robe, the gray-white linen cloth had been washed and faded, he had been wearing this dress since I knew him, it was reported that he would only wash clothes when the weather was particularly good, and then he would dry his clothes and not go out that day.

"Why, I can't find you a woman." I rode on Ah Bao and staggered forward, "The red dust is in trouble, and it is not the red dust that can be considered to be in the troubled world." Maybe in troubled times, you can see the red dust clearly. Then again, who was the woman you ran away with that day with you? ”

"What a woman!" Gong Li's reaction was even bigger than I expected, "There's no such thing. Where is that woman, I'm just seeing unevenness on the road, if my master listens, won't you have to peel off my skin? ”

I simply strangled Ah Bao, leaned down, and looked at Gong Li who was standing in place, "Come less!" The road is uneven, people are uneven and pull out a knife to help, you are the road to see the unevenness and almost caused me to be stabbed twice! ”

"That's right, Ninth Master, it's Los Angeles in front, it's been a day, and the last meal was last night when I stayed in the last city, let's have a good meal today." Gong Li turned quickly, pointed to the city gate not far in front, and looked happy, "I know that there is a restaurant in Los Angeles that makes beef stew very well, let's eat there today." ”

"Okay." Since he didn't intend to say it, I didn't have the interest to ask further, originally I took Gong Li on my own two-day journey, and I walked for three days.

I don't know where my master is now.

"Have you heard, last night the general's mansion invited someone to do things, and the scripture was read all night. and evil again. "We were sitting in the restaurant, and as soon as we sat down, we heard two big men at the next table discussing in a low voice.

"Hey, their family, that's nothing new. If you want me to say, it's the Ling clan who came to take revenge. A man sitting at the next table with his back to us said, in a tone that seemed to be dismissive of the General's Mansion.

I gave Gong Li a look, Gong Li stopped his chopsticks and slipped to the adjacent table, "Everyone, the poor road came from Luoxiang Mountain and Yufengguan, and I heard that there are unjust ghosts in the Weiyuan General's Mansion in the city, so I came to investigate, this"

The man shook his hand at him and pulled Gong Li to sit down, "Xiaodao Chief, don't worry about it, you can't take care of this matter." ”

"Why?" Gong Li was curious.

"After General Qiao's death, the old lady is now left alone in General Weiyuan's mansion, and even Mrs. Qiao has been driven out, as if she is crazy." The man said, but with a little emotion, "Mrs. Qiao was wronged in vain, General Qiao's life and death are unknown, the old lady is seriously ill and difficult to treat, and the general's mansion is over." ”

Two years ago, when I just woke up in this world, General Beishao Weiyuan was also a figure, and I heard that he had repelled 50,000 soldiers and horses with 3,000 elite soldiers. When I heard this passage at the time, I also thought about seeing the demeanor of this general, but as a result, who would have thought that General Weiyuan's Mansion would end up like this now.

Gong Li glanced at me quietly, and I nodded, motioning for him to continue. Only then did Gong Li speak again, "Excuse me, why is General Qiao's life and death unknown, and how can Mrs. Qiao be wronged in vain?" ”

"Oh, this" The man was about to explain, but was stopped by the person opposite him, and hastily exchanged glances, and actually said, "Xiaodao Chief, listen to your accent, it looks like a Xiyi person." ”

When I saw that they were alarmed, I knew that I probably didn't get any useful information from them.

I was a little disappointed, half of the gossip was said, and suddenly I didn't say it.

"What now?" After eating and drinking, Gong Li followed behind me, walking with a disgraced face, I counted the steps under my feet, and I had no idea, Gong Li actually blocked the way in front of me.

It's almost dusk. There was no big harvest on this day, and it was already the third day.

It didn't seem to be so easy to settle this matter before the time agreed with Yuan Ying, so I breathed a sigh of relief, "The only information I have now is really limited, and I can't figure it out at all." ”

"If your master is here, what will he do?" Gong Li followed me and said so casually with some compromise.

"Master Yuan, he, so almighty, if it's him" If it were him, he should go directly to the door to find out, he wouldn't pay attention to the external rumors of those who don't, with his ability, he will definitely go into the tiger's den alone and try the depths. "Gong Li, let's go to General Weiyuan's Mansion."

"Huh?!" Gong Li wailed.

"I traveled with this master, passing through Los Angeles, and heard that the old lady was not in good health and that the house was disturbed, and after some discussion, I came to visit to see what the two of us could serve." I looked at the old lady sitting in the court, then at Gong Li, and continued, "In the early years, my father was an official in the court and had to be taken care of by the general, and now I can't help but regret it when I learn that the general's mansion is in such a situation. ”

The old lady looked to be about seventy years old, squinting her eyes, her hair was all white, neatly combed, with a valuable jasper hairpin, a few deep wrinkles on her forehead, and a tense face. ”

"Poor Dao Gong Li. Studied under Luoxiang Mountain, Yufeng Guan Gongyu. When Gong Li heard him ask, he immediately got up and replied respectfully, seeing that he reported his home cleanly, I wanted to kill my mouth.

"Oh?" The old lady's squinted eyes actually opened a little bit, and she muttered in disbelief, "You, in this later life, are actually a disciple of the palace master." ”

She actually knew Gong Li's old immortal master? However, the old man's skills are really strong, and it is inevitable that some elderly old men and old ladies may know each other, but since she has put her mind at ease, it is estimated that it will be easier to do it in the future. I squinted at Gong Li, and he immediately understood what I meant. Then he said, "Would the old lady please explain the situation?" Although Gong Li's cultivation is still shallow, he will definitely try his best to relieve the old lady's troubles. ”

"Hey." The old lady sighed, looked ashamed, raised her hand, asked the extra people in the hall to retreat, and paused for a long time before continuing, "It's Ah Zhen who is back." ”

Ah Zhen, also known as Ling Zhenzhen, is the wife of General Qiao who died of illness ten years ago. When the old lady mentioned her, she was very excited, and she opened and closed her mouth with "family misfortune".

"My son was seventeen years old. Qing Taifu was a matchmaker and took the daughter of Shangshu Ling Qi, and Ling Zhenzhen as his wife. The bride has just passed the door, the little couple is also harmonious, this second year, there is still no movement in the stomach, my lord is worried about holding his grandson, we also explicitly hint at the little couple, it is really not good, give my son a concubine to continue an incense. The old lady raised her hand, touched the moist corners of her eyes, and her voice choked, "Who knows, she actually had a dispute with the old man, and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights without admitting her mistakes, and the old man was so angry that he fell seriously ill, and died three months later." ”

I thought to myself, this general's wife has a strong personality, if it is placed in modern times, such a woman is indeed a treasure, but in such an era, a polygamous society cannot tolerate a woman with a true temperament.

"Speaking of which, it's also strange, since Ah Zhen entered the door, our house has not been peaceful in the past thirteen years. Earlier, Ah Zhen had been pregnant, but less than three months on the miscarriage, the thirteenth year, Ah Zhen rarely had another pregnancy, coincided with the battle between Beishao and Dongfu, my son led the army to the front, the ninth month, Ah Zhen was born prematurely, actually gave birth to a stillborn, less than an hour, Ah Zhen also went. The old lady recalled the story and shook her head again and again, perhaps for her, the early death of Ling's child touched the wound in her heart.

"Since the Ling family died due to dystocia, why did they come back to take revenge and disturb the peace of the whole house?" I saw that she had no intention of mentioning the key, so I asked directly. As soon as the words came out, there was a dead silence.

"At that time, my son was unfavorable in the court, defeated again and again, and was degraded to worthlessness by the saint. She paused for a long time in the middle of her sentence, she deliberately adjusted the rate of her breathing, and it seemed uncomfortable, "It's me, it's me who killed her." But I didn't want to kill the child. ”

I looked at Gong Li, and he also looked sideways at me, it was an unexpected ending, and neither of us had guessed that it would be such an answer. The fate of the Ling family may not be the worst, but it is precisely because of this bland but doomed tragic fate that people have to sigh.

"So, what strange things happened in the house later?" Gong Li obviously diverted the topic, it was too obvious, although he was not a very good Taoist priest, but he was a good person, and Ling's experience probably touched him a little.

After Han passed the door, in Ah Zhen's original room, there would often be the sound of Ah Zhen's former piano. Ah Zhen's things will be turned from time to time, the house has explained to the next person, not allowed to touch Ah Zhen's things, that room has been locked since she left, but who knows, it's like someone lives, changing every day. There are also subordinates, who saw Ah Zhen coming out of the room at night and standing in front of my son's study...... "The more she talked, the more suspenseful she became, and she described the situation with emotion, and my cold hair stood up."

Before she could continue, I got up and interrupted, "I don't know if there is a room in the house, arrange for me to stay with the master, we want to find out for ourselves." ”

Gong Li was behind him, so frightened that he poked me in the back.

"Oh? How dare you stay here? She was unexpected, but she seemed very calm, "Come on, arrange for the two of you to stay in the East Wing." ”

"Are you crazy!" Gong Li followed me all the way to the east chamber, nagging all the way, looked at the maid who led the way, and lowered his voice and yelled at me, "Didn't you hear how hung the old lady said?" Why don't you listen to it, let's just listen to it, why live here yourself. ”

"I'm not going to listen to her." The more I listened, the less courage I had to find out the truth myself, "but without seeing it with my own eyes, who knows, who is telling the truth." ”

Gong Li rolled his eyes in anger.

"Hey." I turned around. "Have you ever seen a ghost?
