Chapter 167: Haunted House
"I'm thinking about how long the Xu family can be honest this time, they are not tired, I am tired." Stretching her waist, she leaned on the pillar on the side casually, and when she mentioned the Xu family, she couldn't hide the tiredness in her eyebrows.
is probably too disgusted with the Xu family, as soon as she talks about the Xu family, she can think of Mrs. Xu, and her farce today, and she unconsciously wants to vomit.
"I'm afraid I'm going to be honest for a while, and the lady who taught them a lesson today is not light, and they definitely won't have the courage to be so provocative in the future."
Du Lisheng also learned about the little lady who scared Mrs. Xu today, and now the Xu family is famous in the capital.
"That's the best, it's okay now, let's go to the city to see the house, we can't rely on Du Jiu alone, go to the princess and ask if there is any good place."
With that, the little couple got up and left the shop, the houses in the city can be sold almost enough, basically there is no vacant land, but the princess listened, and really found a place for them, but it was far away from their shop.
"It's better to talk from afar, go over and see how it goes."
Even if it's far, it's not as far as the distance from here to the village.
"This shop, it turned out to be built by a rich merchant for the concubine, but unfortunately, the concubine's life was thin, and she died before she could move in, and then people thought that this house was unlucky, and some people said that at night, there was a sound of a girl humming in the house."
Wang Po told her before that this house is evil, but Zhou Xinzhi is not afraid of this at all, as long as it is cheap, it is easy to say anything.
This kind of haunted house has always been man-made, so she wants to meet this scary little guy in the back.
"It's all hearsay, how can there be any real ghosts in this world."
Zhou Xinzhi didn't care, but this Wang Po was different, hearing her talk about this topic so aggressively, her heart almost didn't frighten out.
"Oh, my ancestor, don't scare me, I'm cowardly, old woman."
This house was also entrusted to her by the rich merchant before, and she really didn't know that there was this story, and the merchant only said that he would come to her after five years to ask for silver, and if it was not sold after five years, the house would belong to the princess.
Don't say it's her, even if you really give her money to live in, she doesn't have the courage to do so.
"I can say it in advance, if this house is sold, I can't go back, even if something goes wrong at the real time, it won't be my wife's care."
Wang Po said the words in front first, and then she took out the key and opened the door in a trembling manner.
This yard at a glance knows that few people live here, the dust at the door is piled up almost a finger thick, just enter the gate, is a high platform, although the surrounding flower beds have been overgrown with weeds, but you can also see, what kind of scenery was before.
"Tsk, don't say it, you can see that this rich businessman is really interested in this little concubine."
The yard is full of begonia trees, but no one has taken care of it for a long time, it is more like a yin house, with a gust of wind and wind, as if someone is howling in their ears.
"That's not just the heart, there are rumors that this little concubine was pregnant with a child for that man, but she couldn't bear the ruthlessness of the lady at home, and after a bowl of medicine, the meat ball fell out of the concubine's body directly, and you said that it was ruthless, and then this little concubine's life was not good, she had a serious illness, and finally died."
As soon as she said this, Wang Po opened the conversation.
Zhou Xinzhi and Du Lisheng glanced at each other, smiled helplessly and shook their heads.
The front yard was almost over, so I went to the backyard to take a look, and when I looked at the house, I knew that there should be no one living here, and although all the things were all dusty, there were no traces of old age.
"How much does this house cost that person?" Zhou Xinzhi touched the pear blossom wood bed in front of her, it was strange and interesting, using pigeons and begonia flowers to carve, this craft certainly does not look cheap.
"This person also knows that this house is a little unlucky, forty taels, this house is going to get rid of it, but if you really want to live, I know an old way to exorcise evil spirits and avoid gods, you can look for him."
Forty taels, Zhou Xinzhi secretly calculated in her heart, this house is indeed a little big, but in terms of price, it is cheap.
"Okay, I'll think about it."
After that, I went to the back garden inside, although the area of this house is not large, but it is full of organs, everything.
As soon as she stepped into the back garden, Zhou Xinzhi felt that something was wrong.
With her keen intuition of being a killer for so many years, there are people in this back garden.
She gestured to the two of them to be quiet, then closed her eyes and listened to the action.
Although the voice is relatively small, it still allows her to capture the breath of people.
It seems that it is better to be haunted by people here than haunted.
Hooking the corners of her lips and shaking her head, Zhou Xinzhi wanted to see what kind of courage she had to hide here and scare people.
"Okay, I've seen this house pretty much the same, let's go to your place and settle it down in a while, and give me the key when the time comes."
She turned around and left the backyard, although Du Lisheng and Wang Po didn't notice, but she did, she said that when she left, the little man in the dark breathed a sigh of relief.
Interesting.
After seeing the house, Zhou Xinzhi happily signed the title deed and handed over the silver, and the forty taels of silver were spent.
"Tsk! Even if this silver is appropriate, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart. ”
She didn't think she was a miser, but it wasn't a good feeling to watch so much money go spent.
When she just looked at the house, she took a general look, the place is not small, if she cleans it up by herself, she must be too busy, she thought about it, or asked for three or four people with Wang Po.
A cook, a housekeeper, and a quick servant.
Zhou Xinzhi is not a person who can take care of herself, she is so busy every day, and she doesn't want Du Lisheng to cook for her after she gets home, so the chef will find it first, and when the time comes, it will be really tired, and it will not hurt to ask them to do it again.
In the end, it was all finalized, and it was almost past noon.
Wang Po said that those subordinates would take about two or three days to find her, honest and diligent, it was really difficult to find.
"Let's go, let's get ready, and go to the house for a shake at night." Zhou Xinzhi picked the tail of her eyes when she said this, and Du Lisheng felt itchy in her heart.
Don't turn his face, he looked at the bright and flamboyant face of the woman in front of him, and the idea of wanting to kiss Fang Ze came out again, and it was crazy jumping in his head.
Who can believe that they are a couple who share the same bed, but they never even touch each other a few times in the end.
"What is the lady going to shake?" Du Lisheng was a little puzzled, didn't he see this house today?
"Ahem, of course, I caught the 'ghost'!" She deliberately kept a straight face, turned around and lowered her voice, ready to scare him.
As soon as she turned around, she fell into a warm embrace, she was stunned for a moment, and the refreshing breath of the man's body made her blush, like ripe fruit in an orchard, very tempting.
"I didn't mean to." As he spoke, he turned away.
But the beauties are all so embraced, of course Du Lisheng will not let her go so easily.
"What did the lady say, let's husband and wife, what do you say on purpose."
He whispered in a wicked whisper in her ear, such an ambiguous posture made Zhou Xinzhi's heart even more nervous, there was a feeling of a deer bumping, even his heart began to be uncontrollable, and he began to beat with a poof.
"Don't, don't make a fuss, I'm still on the street, I don't want people to look at it like monkeys." She forced herself to calm down, coughed lightly, and pushed him away.
It was still a little uncomfortable to put her hands on her still hot chest, and she realized that although she had become close to the man in front of her, she didn't have much intimate contact.
"Don't make trouble with the lady, but does the lady have a plan for the night?"
He kindly withdrew the meaning of teasing, and took her little hand and walked forward.
"Of course, there is." As soon as she mentioned this, her chatterbox opened, and she naturally ignored the matter at hand.
Pulling the soft and delicate soft wattle, Du Lisheng didn't mention how satisfied he was, he even felt that it was enough to have Xinzhi by his side in this life.
"Let's go to the post station to book two rooms in a while, we won't go back tonight, and when it's later, let's go to the house to see the excitement." Zhou Xinzhi hooked the corners of her lips, she wanted to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed little ghost was.
"Okay, then I'll go talk to Shao Jiu."
The matter was settled, Du Lisheng and Pei Shaojiu continued to work after talking about it, while Zhou Xinzhi counted the expenses just now in the account book and began to calculate the recent expenses and income.
After Wei Qing and Yang Fang left, they went directly to the old grandmother's hometown, Yongzhou.
The nurse was also the daughter of Concubine Chen's nurse back then, and she had been by Concubine Chen's side for so many years, treating Concubine Chen as if she were her own daughter.
The two of them came here in the direction indicated by the people in the village, the old and dilapidated yard, the lifeless thatched hut, if it weren't for the man saying that the grandmother lived here, none of them would have imagined that there were still people in such a desolate place.
"Who?" The grandmother came out of the inner room.
To the surprise of the two, this grandmother-in-law was already blind, and the wrinkles on her face no longer told people that she was old, and such a trembling figure was an important person for the two to find.
"Auntie, I am the imperial physician Wei Qingsui appointed by His Majesty, and the accompanying person is my colleague Yang Fang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who came here today to know about the palace back then, I guess you also know that the whereabouts of the second prince are unknown now, and I am on the orders of His Majesty to find the traces of the second prince."
Wei Qingsui did not hide the mission he was carrying, and made it clear in front of his grandmother that he was here today.
was silent for a long time, and the grandmother didn't say a word, just stood by the door in a daze.
