Chapter 141: The Ghost in the Mansion
Outside, when night is approaching, a gust of wind blows into the living room, which can also bring a burst of coolness.
Zhao Tong took a sip of tea and moistened it, and then said, "Master Su, in fact, I invite you here today because I have something to ask for." ”
As soon as Zhao Tong's words came out, Nangong Yan immediately said: "Su Lang, he only needs to solve the case, I'm afraid all the other favors can't help!" When Nangong Yan said this, she was naturally afraid that Zhao Tong would bribe Su Wuming because she had something to do, and they were not short of money, so they must not let money ruin Su Wuming's future.
If a woman can think like this for a man, then even if her man does not have any great achievements, it will not be too bad, in popular words, such a woman is a prosperous husband.
After Nangong Yan finished speaking, Zhao Tong smiled again and again: "Madam misunderstood, I invited Master Su to come, it was because Master Su was good at judging suspicious cases, so I invited here." ”
"So, Boss Zhao has encountered a problem that can't be solved?"
Zhao Tong nodded: "Four days ago, a little servant in my house got up at night, and saw a ghost walking around in the house, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, this thing is too strange, so I want to ask Master Su to come and help investigate." ”
After Zhao Tong finished speaking, Wen Wan'er smiled lightly: "Boss Zhao, for a ghost like you, it should be more appropriate to find a Taoist monk to be a ghost, and he only judges the mystery of the world." Wen Wan'er's words were a little sarcastic, although they seemed a little rude, but they were also good, so Su Wuming did not accuse them.
Zhao Tong bowed slightly, and said: "What Mrs. said is very true, I just wanted to mix in the mall for many years, and I have seen a lot of strange things, but in the end they were all proved to be just people making trouble, so I want to think that this ghost incident in the house is also someone making trouble, so I want Lord Su to help and investigate who is making trouble." ”
This matter is somewhat similar to the ghost murder case that Su Wuming did in Qiantang County before, and the last murderer is the person who doesn't believe in ghosts that everyone hasn't expected, so when Zhao Tong brings it up, it is inevitable that everyone will think that this is Zhao Tong's own conspiracy.
However, this matter has not yet been investigated, and it is not easy to comment, so Su Wuming pondered for a moment and said, "If there is really someone in your mansion who is making trouble, then the official really wants to stay and investigate." ”
Hearing that Su Wuming agreed to stay for investigation, Zhao Tong thanked him again and again: "With Master Su here, I will definitely be able to investigate this ghost matter clearly, as long as Lord Su can investigate this matter clearly, I will definitely thank ...... in the future" Zhao Tong said this, and suddenly stopped, because he suddenly realized that now he was facing an official rather than a businessman, and it was inevitable that he would be misunderstood if he said thank you to the official.
At this time, Su Wuming already knew Zhao Tong's thoughts, so he smiled and said: "It's not necessary to thank you, it's just that he will have a place where Boss Zhao will be useful in the future, and Boss Zhao should not postpone it." ”
"This must be, this must be!"
Su Wuming nodded, and then began to ask: "That ghost thing sounds very strange, Lord Ben wants to see the little guy who has seen ghosts, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
"Of course you can do this, and then I will order someone to call him here!"
After Zhao Tong gave the order, Su Wuming said again: "If that ghost thing is someone making trouble, it must be for the people or things in your mansion, Boss Zhao is the richest man in Hangzhou, there must be a lot of people who have offended, right?" ”
Zhao Tong sighed and said: "What Master Su said is that shopping malls are like battlefields, although there is no sword and blood, but there are countless intrigues and hidden enemies, and it is impossible to win in so many competitions without offending some people." ”
Su Wuming nodded, he naturally knew this, human nature is complicated, as long as there are people, there are all kinds of incomprehensible human nature and the ugliness of people who can't be avoided, when you interact with people, you will have enemies with people, but sometimes, people have to interact with others, which can be regarded as people's helplessness.
"Since Boss Zhao understands this, after the ghost happened, have you ever thought that who would do such a thing?"
"This ......" Zhao Tong hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Is it a little inappropriate to say those people?" ”
"Boss Zhao doesn't have to worry, Lord Ben is just doing some understanding now, and he didn't say that after listening to your words, he immediately went to them and made them think that you were a personal vendetta."
Hearing this, Zhao Tong was slightly relieved and said: "In fact, in my life, there are many enemies large and small, but there are not many who really hate me to the bone, there are only two, one of them is Shangguanlin in the west of the city, and the other is a stone disciple in the west of the city; In Xia and Shangguan Lin, to be honest, that is indeed a sin, that was a few years ago, when Shangguan Lin business had a crisis of poor capital turnover, so he borrowed money from me, although I was not young and vigorous at that time, but there is still a certain pursuit of women, that Shangguan Lin has a daughter, called Shangguan Yun, I have met once, I love her very much, so I used this as a threat, asked Shangguan Lin to marry his daughter to me, as long as he is willing to marry his daughter to me, I will help him tide over the difficulties, and I don't use that money as a dowry. ”
Hearing that Zhao Tong had done this kind of thing, Nangong Yan and Wen Wan'er's hatred for him couldn't help but intensify, and at this time, Zhao Tong continued: "Shangguan Lin had no choice at that time, only to agree to my request, after I married Shangguan Yun, I took great care of her, but ...... Hey, I'm ashamed to say that the eldest lady under me is jealous, she ...... She actually beat Shangguan Yun during Shangguan Yun's pregnancy, which led to Shangguan Yun's miscarriage, and finally Shangguan Yun was even weaker after the miscarriage, and died soon after, because of this incident, Shangguan Lin hated me to the core! ”
His daughter was killed by Zhao Tong's wife in this way, it is strange that he does not hate it, and according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the original partner beat the concubine, and did not cause direct death, at most, he taught the lady a lesson, and he would not let her lose her life, so because of this, Shangguan Lin is also a little hateful.
Shangguan Lin's daughter can be said to have been killed by Zhao Tong, if Shangguan Lin had the opportunity to take revenge, how would he let it go?
After Zhao Tong said this, his face showed a look of shame, and said: "Shangguan Yun's death is related to the negligence of Zaixia, for this reason, he has reprimanded him for this, then Shangguan Lin is against me everywhere because of this matter, if this is really him making trouble, the fault lies with me, and I will go to the house to make amends to him for the next reason, and please ask Master Su to investigate clearly." ”
For Zhao Tong's behavior, Su Wuming and others were very angry in their hearts, but women were jealous, this was Zhao Tong's family matter, and it was inconvenient for them to comment more, and after suppressing their anger, Su Wuming continued to ask: "Listening to Boss Zhao say this, then Shangguan Lin must hate you to the bone, this matter will be investigated by Lord Ben, now please Boss Zhao tell me about the other person, why does he have a grudge against you?" ”
Zhao Tong nodded, and said: "This stone disciple is a scholar with a problem, I don't know what he thinks in his head, he always troubles me, and always says that I Zhao Tong is rich, and I should use that money to sponsor them, Master Su, you say it's ridiculous, I Zhao Tong is rich, that is also my own money, I can spend it as much as I want, how can I listen to the words of the stone disciple and use it to sponsor those scholars?" ”
There are many weirdos in the world, Su Wuming didn't expect that during this Tang Dynasty, he would meet an angry young man, and he was a speechless hated rich and angry young man.
In the face of this kind of indignation, Su Wuming also felt a little helpless, but from Zhao Tong's words, he felt that the story should not end here.
"Does he hate you because of that?"
"Of course not, because he always asked me to go out and sponsor their scholars to study and gain fame, so I always sneered at them, and then he did this again, and he did it very excessively, it was unbearable, there was no way, in a rage, he sent someone to beat him badly, and insulted him very much, that beating, but he was not lightly beaten, he did not get out of bed for two months, and since then, he has never bothered me, but after the ghost appeared in my house, I suspect him the most, Because he is a man...... It's really hard to entangle, and he must have seen that he was dealing with me head-on, so he wanted to do it secretly. ”
After Zhao Tong said this, Su Wuming nodded slightly, according to what Zhao Tong said, this Shangguan Lin and the stone disciple are indeed very suspicious, but only based on the current ghost shadow and Zhao Tong's words, I am afraid that he will not be able to act rashly, after thinking about it, Su Wuming feels that it is better to wait and see what happens for the time being.
After a while, Zhao Bao brought the subordinate who saw the ghost, the little guy was slightly thin, his eyes were small, and he looked submissive when he entered the living room, giving people an indescribable annoyance, after he saluted Su Wuming, he stood aside, Su Wuming glanced at it, and asked, "What exactly did the ghost you saw look like at that time?" ”
In this early winter, the little guy in front of him actually broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, I don't know if he was nervous after seeing Su Wuming, or because he remembered the ghost he saw that night.
"That'...... The ghost, dressed in a black robe, ran along the wall, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his hair scattered, and he looked terrifying at night......"
"Two sleeves fluttering in the wind? Does the ghost have no arms? ”
"This ...... I don't know about this, maybe there is, but it doesn't stick out,! ”
"Didn't see the ghost's face?"
"No, the ghost was running fast, and as soon as I let out an exclamation, he turned around and disappeared!"
"And after that?"
"After that, the master ran out, and after hearing my narration, he immediately sent people to search the whole house, but no suspicious person was found!"
After the little guy finished speaking, Zhao Tong nodded again and again to indicate that what he said was not bad at all.
Seeing Zhao Tong nodded, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Su Wuming's mouth, he knew that this time he would encounter a very strange case again.
