Chapter 22: The Murderous House
was pushed out of the county office by Zhou Kui, and found that there was one more person next to the carriage, Xiao Mo saw that it was Lin Yiye who he was talking about, so he stepped forward and asked, "Liang An, have you found the house?" ”
Lin Yiye shook his head, looking a little helpless, then took the wheelchair from Zhou Kui's hand, pushed it himself and said, "There is a house, it's just ...... Alas! Forget it, let's go with me first. 【&n】”
Xiao Mo asked, "But near the county office?" ”
Lin Yiye nodded: "Of course it's close, after the intersection in front, in the alley where you turn left, you don't know, how difficult it is to find a house in Shenxian County now......"
Xiao Mo was pushed by Lin Yiye, Zhou Kui led the carriage and followed behind, wheelchairs were rare in ancient times, plus a carriage followed, such a pomp and circumstance certainly attracted the attention of many people!
Lin Yiye is worthy of being a talker, and he still can't stop pushing the words in Xiao Mo's mouth, Lin Yiye said: "Ziheng, do you know why the house in Shenxian County is so tight now?" ”
Where did Xiao Mo have the heart to play a quiz game with Lin Yiye? Directly shook his head to say that he didn't know, Lin Yiye saw it, so he told what he had seen and heard.
It turned out that the housing shortage in Shen County was because a group of refugees from the north flowed to Shen County, because the imperial court had instructions, and the state governments could not abandon the displaced people, so the county had to find a way to resettle, in addition to setting up tents outside the city, many idle houses in the county were also requisitioned.
It stands to reason that Shen County is now a year of great drought, and there are many people fleeing the famine in the county, and the house should be loosened, but the county seat of Shen County is just the opposite, there are too many people, and the house is tense when there are many people, and it is even more difficult to find an idle house!
Lin Yiye said a lot to Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo also heard it, what Lin Yiye meant was that there were no idle houses in Shen County now, and he didn't know what Lin Yiye meant, so Xiao Mo asked, "Didn't you find a house?" ”
"Yes...... Lin Yiye nodded, his face was a little embarrassed, and his voice became quieter: "However, it is said that this house is not very clean......
"Not clean? What do you mean? Xiao Mo asked.
Lin Yiye looked at the carriage behind him, as if he was afraid of being heard by Meng Qiuxiang and Yu Niang in the carriage, and saw that the carriage was not very far away from him, so he whispered in Xiao Mo's ear: "It is said that there is a female ghost making trouble, and even the original owner of the house was scared away, but the family has a brother who lives in the east of the city, and the deed is in his hand, because it is a murderous house, so the price is very cheap, only ten taels of silver!" ”
As he spoke, he arrived in front of the murderous mansion that Lin Yiye said, Xiao Mo took a look and found that the scale of the mansion was not small, and it looked a little dilapidated from the outside, but it was in line with the appearance of the murderous mansion on TV, but it was much bigger than the Xiao family's house.
Because he couldn't see the situation inside the house, Xiao Mo didn't make up his mind, and as for the haunting that Lin Yiye said, Xiao Mo smiled disdainfully.
As a science-educated college student, of course, I don't believe in ghosts.
Xiao Mo asked, "What's the situation inside?" ”
Lin Yiye shook his head and said, "I didn't dare to go in, isn't it clean inside?" ”
Xiao Mo rolled his eyes and said to Lin Yiye: "You go and let the owner come!" ”
Lin Yiye nodded and went, and at this time the carriage stopped, and Meng Qiuxiang and Yu Niang stayed in the carriage all morning, and they were also suffocated, so they got out of the carriage and came to Xiao Mo's side.
Seeing the towering mansion, Meng Qiuxiang immediately frowned and asked, "Xiao Mo, how many silver taels do you have for such a big mansion?" ”
Xiao Mo said: "It's not expensive, ten taels of silver." ”
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Meng Qiuxiang looked disbelieving, and glanced at Yu Niang, Yu Niang understood, knowing that Meng Qiuxiang was afraid that Xiao Mo would hide it from her and buy such a big mansion at a high price, so let herself watch it carefully.
At noon, Lin Yiye led a middle-aged man to the front of the house, and when he saw Xiao Mo in a wheelchair, the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and said, "The villain Niu Da, I've seen Lord Sihu!" ”
Xiao Mo frowned and asked, "Your name is Niu Da?" ”
Niu Da nodded, he looked like a farmer, Xiao Mo didn't believe that a farmer's younger brother actually had such a large mansion in the county, so he asked, "Who owns this mansion?" ”
Niu Da replied: "Back to my lord, this house belongs to a brother of the villain, because the house is not clean, so the brother does not dare to live in it, and hand over the deed to the villain, hoping to sell the house at a low price!" ”
Looking at Niu Da's appearance, it seems to be quite honest, if it is a cunning person, he will definitely not say such a thing as the house being haunted in front of the buyer, Xiao Mo nodded, and believed Niu Da, but after the jade girl next to her heard that the house was not clean, she pulled Xiao Mo's arm in fear, and when she saw Xiao Mo nodding, she hurriedly said: "Ziheng, there are unclean things in this house, you must not buy it!" ”
At this time, Meng Qiuxiang had already returned to the car to rest, Yu Niang was excited, so her voice was a little loud, Xiao Mo was afraid that Yu Niang would wake Meng Qiuxiang up, and then Meng Qiuxiang was the same as Yu Niang, she refused to buy this house, and the business was yellow, so she said to Yu Niang: "Just take a look first, you be quiet!" ”
Who knew that Yu Niang didn't listen at all, and said to Xiao Mo: "I won't, my mother said, let me look at you, just don't let you do anything wrong, this house is not clean, you still have to watch, if you provoke that unclean thing, you ...... What do you let us do? ”
I just wanted to buy a house to live in, but I didn't expect Yu Niang to oppose it like this, and even said such nonsense, Xiao Mo listened, and shrugged helplessly to Lin Yiye and Niu, and then said: "You go and open the door first, don't be afraid, it's noon now, the sky is blue, where is there anything unclean?" ”
Seeing that Lin Yiye was still a little hesitant, Xiao Mo said: "Brother Liang An, you and I are scholars, you must know that there is righteousness in heaven and earth, what are you afraid of?" ”
Lin Yiye gritted his teeth and went to open the door with Niu Da, Xiao Mo turned around and said to Yu Niang: "Let me ask you, is you in charge of the family, or am I in charge?" ”
It seems that the little girl must be made clear, otherwise if she goes on like this, relying on Meng Qiuxiang as the backing, I am afraid that Yu Niang will really ride on her head.
Xiao Mo is the only man in the family, and of course Yu Niang said: "Of course you are in charge......"
"Not bad!" Xiao Mo was very satisfied with Yu Niang's answer, and then said, "Do you know that today in the county office, your father has sued the Xiao family to Lord Li?" ”
"Huh?" Yu Niang screamed in surprise when she heard this, looked at Xiao Mo in a panic and said, "How can this be? Daddy promised me ......"
Hearing Yu Niang's words, Xiao Mo finally understood, it turned out that Yu Niang returned to the Xiao family this time, and it was actually allowed by Qiao Zheng, since Qiao Zheng allowed Yu Niang to come back, but why did he come to the county to complain?
Thinking of what Li Ji said to himself, Xiao Mo finally suddenly realized, it turned out that Qiao Zheng did not come to the county government to complain, the complaint was just an excuse, in fact, Qiao Zheng came to the county government to ask Li Ji for an explanation, Qiao Zheng knew that Li Ji valued himself now, so he wanted to take this opportunity to tell his general, and then force himself to express his position.
To put it bluntly, it's Yu Niang's business, Qiao Zheng wants Xiao Mo to marry Yu Niang and give Yu Niang a name! Since Xiao Hao had torn up the marriage book of the two before his death, the marriage between Yu Niang and Xiao Hao could not be counted, and Xiao Mo married Yu Niang, which is reasonable!
understood Qiao Zheng's thoughts, and knew that Yu Niang was interested in him, Xiao Mo had no other way, and besides, Yu Niang really had nothing to say to the Xiao family, and Xiao Mo couldn't be ungrateful!
After paying attention, Xiao Mo said to Yu Niang: "Don't panic, your father is not here to sue, he is here to force me to marry you, since my brother stepped forward to tear up your marriage book, and hid it from you to let you work in the Xiao family for three years, it is understandable for me to marry you, in a few days when I am free, I will go to your father's place to propose, what do you think?" ”
Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Yu Niang was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her head with a red face, Xiao Mo saw it, and said: "Don't be too happy first, I said, I will go to your father in a few days, if I am not satisfied in these days, I will still regret it!" ”
When Yu Niang heard this, her joyful mood just now became nervous again, and she looked at Xiao Mo pitifully, and the tears in her eyes were already rolling.
Is this girl made of water?
Xiao Mo shook his head, but what he said just now was indeed serious, although Xiao Mo wanted to beat Yu Niang. But Yu Niang is indeed this character, and she needs to be beaten.
Seeing Yu Niang's pitiful look, Xiao Mo felt that he should have beaten enough, so he asked, "Do we still look at this house?" ”
Yu Niang glanced at Xiao Mo and said timidly: "There are unclean things in this house, I don't dare to live in it!" Mother said......"
It seems that the beating is not enough, Xiao Mo looked at the little girl and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, don't talk about my mother, tell me about you, do you want to marry me in the future, or marry my mother?" ”
Xiao Mo asked bluntly, even though Yu Niang was shy, but because she really liked Xiao Mo, she had to say softly: "Of course I married you......"
"Good!" Xiao Mo nodded approvingly, and asked again, "Then do you want to listen to me, or listen to someone else?" ”
Yu Niang thought for a while and said, "Mother is not someone else'......"
Well, that's all there to talk about! Xiao Mo was helpless, so he had to take out the last trump card and said to Yu Niang: "Let me tell you directly, I want to serve in the county, I want to make a career, there is no place where I can settle down, how can I achieve great things?" ”
At the end, Xiao Mo added: "Besides, there are no idle houses in Shen County now, do you want our family to sleep on the streets?" Wouldn't that be the same as a beggar, and would your father agree to let you marry a beggar? ”
was asked by Xiao Mo and had nothing to say, so Yu Niang had no choice but to say, "Then, that unclean thing ......"
Xiao Mo said: "Don't worry, with me, it will be fine!" But if you dare to tell Mother, then you're in trouble! ”
After intimidating Yu Niang, Xiao Mo asked Zhou Kui to push him and came to the door of the house.
