Chapter 324: Haunted House
It is very easy to find out who the owner of the new house in Cheshire was, because the transfer of the house, even if the title deed is given, must be filed at the government office, otherwise all transactions will not be successful.
When one of the officials went down, he quickly found out the situation about the house.
After Su Wuming glanced at it, his brows couldn't help but condense, because according to the records of the government office, it was not difficult to find that the house was called a ghost mansion before.
Regarding the owner of that house, there have been two changes recently, namely a man named Wang Jiao and Grandpa Guo Cheshire, and before Wang Jiao, the owner of that house was called Zhang Feng.
That house is the old house of the Zhang family, Zhang Feng only came back to live half a year ago, but not long after he lived in, he felt that the yin around him was very heavy, and often heard the sound of ghosts crying wolves in the middle of the night, Zhang Feng is still a more superstitious person, he felt that this house is very ominous, so he had the idea of selling it, that Wang Jiao is a foreigner, originally planned to buy a house in the capital, want to do business in the capital, but he just took over the house not long ago, it was sold to Grandpa Cheshire, the record of Wang Jiao to sell the house is a shortage of business funds, He didn't say the house was haunted.
It's just that Wang Jiao sold the house and disappeared, which is really strange.
After Su Wuming read this, he frowned slightly, judging from the situation of the corpse, it should have died in the last few months, and in recent months, Zhang Feng and Wang Jiao have both been suspects.
So, was the deceased killed by one of the two of them?
I'm afraid that only by finding them first can we know about it.
But just when Su Wuming was thinking like this, he suddenly thought that when Cheshire was searching the house, his house was on fire, and the fire situation was very strange at that time, Cheshire thought that a subordinate accidentally made it, but he didn't dare to admit it, judging from the current situation, someone must have not wanted Cheshire to continue the investigation, so he set the fire.
But if someone set the fire to prevent the investigation in Cheshire, it means that that person is still in the capital, but Zhang Feng and Wang Jiao are only afraid that they are not in the capital now, is there someone else?
When I left from the palace, it was already noon, and the enthusiasm of the people on the street for last night's fight had slowly faded, and the corpses at the city gate had been almost disposed of. He's not going to do it.
When I got home, news came from the palace that the emperor was going to feast his ministers in the palace this evening to celebrate last night's victory.
This is the time for the emperor to show his skills, Su Wuming naturally did not dare to refuse, and received orders again and again.
Not long after lunch, Jiang Ying and Lin Yun hurried back, they told the things along the way, it turned out that not long after they left the capital, Gao Chen and Ma Dai were attacked, and then the four of them felt that this was too risky, so they disguised themselves, so they had to return to the border safely.
After the two of them handed over Su Wuming's letter, General Guo was a little hesitant at first, after all, there was no emperor's order, so he sent troops to snatch grain and grass, it was really unreasonable, although those grain and grass were originally theirs, but at that time, the soldiers at the border pass were already full, and under the persecution of those soldiers, General Guo had no choice but to order to snatch grain and grass, and when they just finished grabbing grain and grass, the emperor's order came down.
After the two finished speaking, Lin Yun immediately took the lead and said: "Then General Guo respects you very much, saying that you are like a god!" ”
Su Wuming smiled, this is where he is like a god, this qiē is just what he is pushing behind his back, if it weren't for his edict to cut off the back road of the rebels, with Li Yan's brain, I am afraid that he would never think of sending people to grab grain and grass.
Time passed slowly, and before evening, when Su Wuming was about to enter the palace, Grandpa Guo's carriage in Cheshire suddenly stopped, and he saw Cheshire poking his head out of the carriage: "Lord Su, let's go together!" ”
Emperor Li Yan wants a big banquet for his ministers, and a prince like Cheshire is naturally indispensable.
After the two got into the carriage, Cheshire immediately said to Su Wuming: "Lord Su, my people have investigated for a day, and they have found a very bad news. ”
"What's the news?"
The carriage was moving on the streets of Chang'an City, and the sound of people selling and laughing was heard from time to time outside.
"The house I bought is a ghost house!"
Su Wuming had known this for a long time, so Su Wuming just sighed: "Is there anything else?" ”
"The previous owner's name was Zhang Feng, and he sold it because he couldn't stand the ghost screams in the house, but I think the ghost screams may have been done by the murderer."
"Why does Grandpa Guo think the murderer did this?"
"The bones are hidden in the latrine, and the latrine has been cleaned for a long time, and the murderer may be afraid that the bones will be discovered by Zhang Feng!"
Hearing Cheshire say this, Su Wuming was suddenly stunned, he felt that he was not as smart as Cheshire, he should have thought of it a long time ago, since the haunting was caused by the murderer, then the deceased must have been killed when Zhang Feng lived in.
According to what Su Wuming knew, it was discovered not long after Zhang Feng moved in, that is, the bones were put into Zhang Feng's toilet in that section.
Then now there are two possibilities, the murderer is Zhang Feng, and the murderer is someone other than Zhang Feng.
The murderer is Zhang Feng, and the so-called hauntings were all made by himself, in order to let himself leave, maybe he didn't mean to sell the house before, but when he saw someone buy it, he sold it.
And the house is haunted, and he uses this reason to sell it, which seems very nondescript, and the person who has never sold the house will not tell these things, and after saying it, who will buy the house, unless the person is bold enough and thinks the price is right.
Not long after the two of them talked in the carriage, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and at this time there were many sedan chairs and carriages parked at the door, and after the two got down, they went straight into the palace.
Today's banquet is still in the same place at the end of the last talent competition, but this time the table is a little bigger and longer than the last time, after Cheshire and Su Wuming came in, they found a place to sit down, and at this time, other ministers and princes also sat down one after another.
After the meal was served, the singing and dancing began, and Su Wuming found that the Huarou girl was also among them this time, and her singing voice attracted men to applaud constantly.
Just when the audience was singing and dancing, Emperor Li Yan looked at Ma Yuanzhen and said: "Ma Aiqing has contributed a lot to defeating the rebels this time, I don't know if Ma Aiqing has any requirements, as long as I can agree, I will definitely be satisfied with you." ”
This emperor seems to like to give people wishes, just like the magic lamp of Aladdin in the fairy tale, after Su Wuming heard the emperor's words, he couldn't help but worry about the emperor, according to Su Wuming's knowledge, after Li Yan's death, it was this Ma Yuanzhen who pushed Li Chen to the throne, and why does Ma Yuanzhen have so much power, I am afraid that it is the emperor's wish to harm.
However, this is the emperor's own business, and Su Wuming can't help it, so he has to let the emperor give people wishes like this, maybe people like him only feel that they are supreme when they give people wishes.
At this time, Ma Yuanzhen was already drunk, he was so happy today, he betrayed Qiu Shiliang and became the commander of the forbidden army, in charge of tens of thousands of forbidden troops, even if the emperor has to give him some face in the future, how can he not be happy?
And now that he has been given power, he has no guilt for betraying Qiu Shiliang, people live in the world, and if they want to keep climbing up, don't they have to keep betraying others?
Now hearing the emperor ask him if he has any requirements, Ma Yuanzhen is even happier, he raised his glass and drank it, his eyes were fixed on the bodies of those singing and dancing women, and when the ministers saw that Ma Yuanzhen set his eyes on the bodies of those singing and dancing women, he couldn't help but sink his heart.
Because of their physical defects, eunuchs have a more perverted psychological need for women, so many eunuchs have women in their mansions, even if they can't do their good deeds, they naturally have their own ways to vent their pleasure with each other, so it is normal for eunuchs to want women.
When the ministers found that Ma Yuanzhen's eyes were different, they found that it was not good.
And at this time, Ma Yuanzhen arched his hand to Li Yan and said: "It is the duty of the slave to kill the enemy by order, the emperor gave the slave such a chance, the slave should not have asked for it, but the opportunity given by the emperor to the slave is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so the slave has the courage to make a small request." ”
Li Yan also saw the change in Ma Yuanzhen's eyes, but this is not a problem for him, a singer and dancer, Ma Yuanzhen can afford to give ten of them.
"It's okay, just say what you want."
A smile appeared at the corner of Ma Yuanzhen's mouth, and then he turned around and pointed to Hua Rou, who was singing, and said, "Back to the emperor, the slave wants this singer." ”
Hua Rou's singing and pipa stopped abruptly, and the entire hall fell silent for a while, the excitement just now was gone, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, which Li Yan and Ma Yuanzhen did not expect.
Hua Rou is just a singer to Emperor Li Yan, but for normal men like the ministers, she is a fairy-level woman, if it falls into the hands of Ma Yuanzhen's eunuch like this, it makes them feel unbearable to think about.
And in this silence, Li Yan also felt a little embarrassed, but at this time, bursts of laughter suddenly came from one direction.
