An hour ago, the gate of the Confucian family's East Mansion was closed. Unlike the Confucian Scholar Naxi Mansion, there are no soldiers from the Rui Cavalry Battalion standing guard or patrolling, only two lanterns hanging in front of the gate, so that people can see that this is the official palace. Although the owner of the house, Dr. Taichang, is not of high grade, this mansion is not as shabby as the Xifu side from the wall.

And a black shadow flickered in front of the door, and he rushed to a side wall, and saw the three little guys huddled in the shadow of the wall, looking around, he couldn't help but step forward and hit the door in the head, even the four princes were no exception, and then pointed to the wall without saying a word. The four princes, who knew the elegance of the string song, had no intention of being reckless at all, and threw themselves on people's backs with joy on their faces.

Seeing Ah Liu carrying the four princes on his back and climbing over the wall so gently and skillfully, Little Peanut couldn't help but pout his teeth.

But before he could figure out whether he was revealing his true skills or what, he saw Xiao Cheng on the side, and he easily climbed onto the wall. Now he panicked, he didn't want to be left here to look at the wind, he spit two mouthfuls of spit into the palm of his hand, rushed up, and began to climb without saying a word.

When he climbed over the wall, his heart beat faster after he hadn't done such a thing for a long time, and he didn't have time to see what was going on inside before he hurriedly jumped to the ground and stood firm, only to find that it was pitch black all around, and it was no different from the street outside. Thinking that when he lived in Zhang Yuan, the lights would be turned off at night in places where no one lived, so he couldn't help but mutter.

Could it be that this Master Kong Jiu's family also has a small population, so many houses are empty and no one lives in them, so they don't light the lights? No, it's not right, it should be Ah Liu's choice that this infiltration place has a mystery! Looking at the shadows around and the swaying branches of the trees, is this ...... Garden?

"Sixth brother, why is it dark here, don't you light the lights?" And the question of Little Peanut was soon asked, but it was the curiosity of the four princes.

And Ah Liu's answer, not only as always, cherishes words like gold, but also chokes people to death as always: "Lighting the lamp requires money!" ”

Seeing that the four princes were dumbfounded, and the little peanut couldn't cry or laugh, Xiao Chengcheng, who had always been serious, couldn't help but interject: "I heard Brother Zhu say that the Zhao Guogong Mansion also has a time to turn off the lights every night, and after the lights go out, there is only one light at the door in each courtyard. It's the same in the palace, right? It's just that you didn't come out in the middle of the night and walked by. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four princes were embarrassed, and the little peanut was speechless. But Ah Liu didn't plan to waste time here, and said angrily at the moment: "This is the garden of the Confucian family's East Mansion, and the third watch in the middle of the night lights up the garden to show the ghosts?" ”

Hearing that it was a garden, and being choked by Ah Liu's words, the fourth prince was speechless for a moment, but then he said eagerly: "I heard my father say that although the Confucian family is a scholarly family, it actually believes in ghosts and gods the most. Before, I said that we should sneak in and force him to find evidence, but I just pondered for a moment, what are we trespassing, why don't we force the questioning, how about pretending to be a ghost to scare him? Maybe you can scare that guy out of the urine and trick him out of some evidence or something? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Peanut, who was still a little worried about being too brutal and so strong, suddenly agreed. But when he saw Ah Liu glancing at him, he suddenly remembered whether Ah Liu would let himself come forward to play a female ghost, and his face changed.

He doesn't want to pretend to be a woman anymore in his life!

But at this moment, he heard Xiao Cheng cough lightly, and he actually took the initiative to ask: "If you want to pretend to be a ghost, I am very good at it, I have pretended to be a ghost and scared many people, especially the timid people are even more frightened!" ”

When the fourth prince saw that he had an idea, there was a professional who was pretending to be a ghost, and he was immediately overjoyed. He dropped the little peanut who was in a daze, and stepped forward to grab Xiao Chengcheng to discuss, who knew that before he could speak, Ah Liu had already interrupted him.

"Don't waste your time, if you are seen, you are not a thief but a thief. Xiao Cheng, you said that you are good at pretending to be a ghost, then pretend to be the one Jiang Zhuo'er said, the child that Kong Jiu asked him to kill should be about the same age as you. ”

Accompanied by Zhu Tingfang, he met Jiang Zhuo'er, and heard people pour beans from a bamboo tube to talk about all kinds of things that Dr. Kong had reached with people in the black market, and the four princes and Xiao Peanut understood who Ah Liu was talking about at this time.

It was the youngest son of an old jinshi who had had quarrels and disputes with Master Kong Jiu, and later competed with Dr. Taichang. Poor old Jinshi fifty and first, frustrated life finally spring breeze proud, as a result, his own precious young son, who was finally saved, happened to encounter a startled horse on a certain trip, so he died at the age of nine.

Xiao Cheng used to follow Liu Zhiyuan and Zhu Tingfang for many years, although when defending his homeland, he couldn't help but do immoral things like pretending to be ghosts and scaring people away, but later he begged Zhu Tingfang to compensate him for those who bought Liu Zhiyuan's old mansion, but he was scared by him and sold the house at a low price, and kept saying that he would definitely repay the money in the future, so his serious and jealous temperament is known to everyone here.

At this moment, Xiao Cheng listened to Ah Liu's words, so he nodded emphatically and said, "I know, let's go!" ”

Little Peanut saw that he was really going to pretend to be a ghost, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is this what you want?" Don't you pretend to be a ghost change your clothes, put your hair out, and then get some blood on your body, this is the kind of mood and atmosphere? ”

As soon as the words fell, he looked at the three people in front of him and looked at him, the eyes of the four princes were even full of surprise, as if he had found a more professional ghost pretend, even Ah Liu was also carefully examining himself, he couldn't help but cover his forehead and sighed: "Xiao Cheng, you said you were going to play a ghost, wouldn't you just plan to appear in this dress to scare and scare people, right?" ”

"That's how I used to be." Xiao Cheng's face was full of innocence, as if he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it at all, "I just need to sneak in, eat a little bit of the things in the kitchen, throw dry firewood everywhere, and then swish in front of people so that he can't catch them, and after asking monks and Taoists to catch ghosts several times failed, people were scared away." ”

Ah Liu raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and finally remembered that Hua Qi had said to himself at the beginning, and quietly brushed Xiao Cheng.

There is no doubt that people can successfully pretend to be ghosts and scare the owners who bought the Liu family's house to run faster than one another, not by virtue of any outstanding ghost pretending skills, but by ...... Because Hua Qi did more things behind the scenes, including but not limited to scaring away the monk and Taoist priest who caught ghosts!

So, he immediately decided: "Okay, you guys stay here, I'll go prepare things, and by the way, check where that guy from Kong Jiu lives tonight." Remember not to move, you can slip through the wall from here, you know? ”

Seeing that the three of them all nodded like chickens pecking rice, although he was also a little worried that if he left, what would happen to these three moths, but if he took them, then nothing could be done, so he still turned around and left without hesitation.

Anyway, he had noticed that someone had followed them and Zhu Tingfang into the city before, and he thought it was the imperial attendant. As for how people would react when they saw him take the three little guys over the wall and enter the Kong Family's East Mansion, then he didn't have time to pay attention to it. Presumably someone would be in a hurry to report to the madman, and someone would have crept in after them.

Although it was really a chore to hide in the garden and blow the wind on this cold day, fortunately, they were all tightly wrapped, and there were companions next to them, and the three of them stomped their feet and rubbed their hands, and finally they honestly did not dare to move. Even the four most bearish princes were worried about the consequences if they were found out and brought to the emperor to ask for guilt.

It doesn't matter if you pretend to be a ghost and be scary, but if you pretend to be a ghost and be caught...... It's better than being caught as a thief before you pretend to be successful!

Two of the three people are the ones who love to talk the most, but at this time, Ah Liu is not there, no one dares to make a noise, so they just waited and waited, and they were all about to freeze, but they suddenly saw a flash in front of them, but Ah Liu finally came back, carrying a burden in his left hand and carrying a ...... A chicken! It doesn't matter if you're knocked unconscious or whatever, it's a chicken anyway!

The eyes of the fourth prince widened, and before he could speak, Ah Liu had already thrown the burden at him. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and when he opened it and saw that it was a white dress, he was slightly stunned, and then he quickly shook off the white clothes and draped them on Xiao Cheng's body. Xiao Cheng hurriedly dressed and tied his belt there, and Ah Liu's hand moved, and he had already directly unscrewed the chicken head.

When the fourth prince was dumbfounded, he saw that Xiao Cheng was already covered with blood splashed from the chicken's neck. Even if he prides himself on being afraid of heaven and earth since he was a child, at this time, when he saw Xiao Cheng's blood-stained clothes and his face that looked more and more hideous under the blood stains, he couldn't help but be so frightened that he took a few steps back, and his face turned pale.

Seeing that Xiao Peanut's face was as usual, even if Xiao Cheng was splashed with blood on his face, coupled with the blood in his white clothes, the whole person looked like a ghost returning from Jiuquan, but he still looked very calm, at this moment, the four princes finally understood that their father had always said that many scholars and doctors talked about it on weekdays, and once they saw blood, their souls were immediately scattered, what does this mean.

He can be regarded as having seen a little bit of the market, and he was taken aback at this moment, thinking that if Master Kong Jiu saw Xiao Cheng dressed like this, he would definitely not be much better than him now!

And the fourth prince who reacted saw that Ah Liu casually threw the live chicken high, and actually threw things outside the wall, leaving only the bloodstains on the ground and the scene of "killing" just now, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sixth brother, is your 'corpse destruction' too rough?" You can find out if you look back, do you want to clean up the aftermath? ”

Can't they still piggyback on that dead ** when they leave? Even if the dead chickens are taken away, the blood stains here can't be cleaned up!

The bear child with a puzzled face frowned when he saw Ah Liu, he was afraid that people would think that he was doubting his ability, and immediately wanted to continue to explain a sentence or two, but he was speechless again by Ah Liu's rhetorical question: "As long as we are not discovered, what do we want to clean up the aftermath?" ”

That's really ...... Makes sense! Realizing that he suggested that he came to the Kong family to seek justice, and he also came up with his own idea to pretend to be a ghost, the fourth prince only felt that he was simply cocooned and bound by himself, but at this time, it was too late to regret it, because it was too sorry for Xiao Cheng, who had already made a huge sacrifice!

So, he was very upset when he just moved his mouth, stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Cheng's hand, ignoring Ah Liu's rough chicken neck just now, and even Xiao Cheng's hands were covered with blood.

"Xiao Xiao, it's really all up to you this time! I'll thank you when I look back! ”

Xiao Cheng glanced at the fourth prince's hand that was holding him and shaking it with a little disgust, but when he raised his head, he saw the sincere smiling face, thinking that although this prince was sometimes annoying, he was a good person, so he muttered in a low voice: "Thank you, no need!" Such a vicious guy should also be cured well...... By the way, Sixth Brother, where does that surnamed Kong live? ”

"He's alone in his study tonight."

When he said the news, Ah Liu saw that the three little guys breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and he knew that even if they were very energetic when they were shouting, if they were pretending to be ghosts and scary, they would also scare other innocent people in the Kong family, then not to mention that Xiao Cheng was reluctant to go, even Xiao Peanut and the Four Princes might not be able to do it calmly.

He didn't say a word about the reason why Master Kong Jiu would stay alone in the study today - it wasn't that someone was worried about his future and life, so he cultivated himself, on the contrary, Master Kong Jiu was different from the cousin of Confucius University, and he was just unhappy every night without a woman.

It was he who used some drastic means first, and the steward who specially arranged for Master Kong Jiu to go to bed bowed his head to his ears, so the concubine that Master Kong Jiu wanted to get close to was sick today, and it was inconvenient and inconvenient.

In this regard, Master Kong Jiu, who has always been superstitious, only thought that this was an omen, and he was unwilling to go back to stay with the yellow-faced woman in his main room, so he simply lived in the study after thinking about it. Moreover, he also deliberately drove out the subordinates and the girl, alone in the study, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and he planned to find a few people tomorrow to help the gods and divinate the fortune.

He was very suspicious that he had committed some villain recently, otherwise how could he be so unlucky when he had always been smooth sailing!

Although Master Kong Jiu slept on a bed against the wall, there was a lamp lit in the study, which was also a habit he had always had, even when he was happy with his concubine. But on weekdays, he thinks that the flickering light makes people feel very good, but today it is the same light, not to mention drowsy, he actually feels annoyed when he closes his eyes at all.

Finally, distraught, he kicked open the tent in front of the bed, and was about to get out of bed with his shoes, but at this moment, he heard a rustling sound. At first, he only thought it was a rat, but after frowning and listening carefully for a while, he realized that it was not. When he found that the lamp suddenly flickered and went out in an instant, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

But before he could open his mouth to call someone, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in his face, and immediately after, he saw that the window that had been closed well was suddenly wide open, and the next moment, a small figure seemed to appear out of thin air, sitting quietly on the window railing.

When the four eyes met, he saw that the other party was dressed in a white robe that was so wide that it didn't fit at all, his face was covered with blood, and there was even a fishy smell coming towards him, and he almost stood up on the roots of his sweat. At this moment, he heard another voice so cold that it almost made him faint: "Give me my life!" ”
