Chapter 294: Ten Years Ago
"You know, I'm not talking about unclean." Zhang Sanfeng smiled, "Many people have died in that house. ”
Xiao Lori was even more frightened after hearing this, and pulled Wang Xiang's arm tightly, don't look at her usually as if she is not afraid of heaven and earth, but she is actually timid, she has to be accompanied by Wu Shun before she dares to sleep after reading the ghost stories in the novels, and she naturally dare not go when she listens to Zhang Sanfeng at this time.
Wu Shun and Xiaoya's faces were not very good-looking, and Li Zhi swallowed his saliva and forced himself to calm down: "I see that we ...... Let's go look elsewhere. ”
Steward Wang said embarrassedly: "It's that I didn't inquire clearly, I just think that the house is very elegant and cheap, but I don't know that many people have died there, let's go to a few other houses to have a look." ”
Wang Xiang frowned: "Which house has never died, no matter what, since you are here, you will go and see it first." ”
He didn't believe in ghosts and gods in his heart, and besides, it was daylight and there were iron eggs with him, if someone really pretended to be a ghost, there was nothing to be afraid of, but he was a little curious about the Zhang family's house.
Wang Xiang made a decision, everyone naturally has no opinion, the deeper you go to Cuiliu Lane, the narrower the alley becomes, the fewer and fewer shops on both sides, the voices gradually disappear, the dark brown masonry on the ground is mottled and broken, it looks like dried and solidified blood stains, everyone seems to be able to really feel a gloomy aura around them, and Xiao Lori hugged Wang Xiang's arm tightly all the way.
Zhang's house is the second house in the deepest part of Cuiliu Lane, and the width of the alley here can only accommodate a horse-drawn carriage.
From the outside, this house is not as gloomy as Zhang Sanfeng said, the door wall of the house is tall and quite magnificent, and it is obviously a big family. It's just that the plaque hanging on the vermilion lacquer gate seems to be mottled and desolate because of age. Overall, the first impression of this house is not bad.
At Wang Xiang's signal, Steward Wang stepped forward and knocked on the copper ring on the door. It took almost half a column of incense before I heard the sound of the door opening.
The one who opened the door was the rickety old man Steward Hu that Steward Wang said, and when he saw that Steward Wang brought someone over, he knew Wang Xiang's intention, and Steward Hu's dry and wrinkled face showed a smile.
"Are you here to see the house?"
Wang Xiang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, we just came to Luoyang and want to buy a house to settle down, I heard that you have a house to sell here, so come and have a look." ”
"yes, this house has been empty for a long time." Steward Hu muttered in a low voice, hunched over and made way of the way. said, "A few people, please come in." ”
As Steward Wang said, the house is elegant and chic, there are a total of three courtyards before and after, the place is spacious, and the cleaning is also very neat, Xiao Lori looked around cautiously and finally was not so scared, and "hummed" and glared at Zhang Sanfeng, as if to blame him for scaring himself.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled disappreciatively, Wang Xiang walked around the house and found that it didn't look like there were many people living there, and asked, "Steward Hu." What about the owner of the house? ”
Buying a house and meeting the owner is always a good idea.
Steward Hu shook his head and sighed after listening to Wang Xiang's words: "It's not here, it's not there." ”
"Not there? Are they all out of the house? Little Lori interjected and asked.
"Dead. All of them are dead. ”
"Ahh Little Lori exclaimed in surprise and hid behind Wang Xiang.
Everyone's faces became strange, only Zhang Sanfeng looked like I had said it a long time ago, Steward Wang looked at Steward Hu embarrassedly and said, "This, you haven't told me about this before, I thought it was ......"
Steward Hu sighed and said: "Who doesn't know about this matter in Luoyang, ten years ago, all the people in the house were killed overnight, dozens of people, and the house has been empty since then." ”
"And who are?"
"I came to see this house later."
Wang Xiang opened his mouth and asked, "Why were the people in this house killed?" ”
"The affairs of the heavenly family, I can't say, I can't say it. This house has been empty for ten years, and I won't hide it from you, old man, many people who have seen it but no one wants to buy it. ”
"Why is that?" Wang Xiang had already vaguely guessed the reason.
"It is said that this house is not clean, and the ancestral hall of the Zhang family has been emptied, but there will be some movement from time to time at night, but the old man, I have been here for several years, and nothing has happened except for that little movement, people, I just scare myself."
Hearing this, Wang Xiang couldn't help frowning, looking at this house, he knew that the Zhang family must have been a big family before, and it was such a big thing that dozens of people were killed overnight...... Ten years ago, it was still a matter of heaven......
Wang Xiang's heart moved, wasn't it the time of the Xuanwumen incident ten years ago, and the destruction of a certain non-Zhang family had something to do with it?
Little Lori asked tremblingly, "Yes...... What's going on? ”
Steward Hu said: "It's just that there is occasionally a faint fire in the ancestral hall, as if there is still the sound of someone talking." ”
"Ahh Little Lori exclaimed.
Wang Xiang said lightly: "Can you take me to the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall?" ”
"Brother-in-law." Little Lori hugged Wang Xiang's arm in fear, she just heard Steward Hu say that this house is the ancestral hall is not clean.
Wang Xiang smiled and said: "What are so many of us afraid of, besides, it's broad daylight, I think I'm quite satisfied with this house, I want to see if there is anything unclean." ”
The Zhang family ancestral hall is in the deepest part of the inner courtyard, three large houses, and when you open the door, it is empty, and there is nothing.
"I clean this ancestral hall every day, and I have never seen anything unclean.
Wang Xiang walked around the ancestral hall, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and said: "Steward Hu is kind-hearted, in addition to helping them clean the ancestral hall, he also gives them incense. ”
"Incense?" Steward Hu was puzzled: "The ancestral hall has been emptied, what kind of incense is there, and then this Zhang family...... Who would dare to incense them. ”
Shangxiang didn't dare, it seems that the Zhang family's destruction is related to the Xuanwu Gate. Wang Xiang glanced at the small handful of incense ashes sprinkled in the corner, and he already knew a little in his heart, since Steward Hu did not put incense on it, and would clean the ancestral hall every day, how could there be incense ashes here, the faint firelight must be the light emitted by the incense. The person who gave incense to the Zhang family must have an unusual relationship with the Zhang family.
Leaving the Zhang family's house quietly, Wang Xiang asked Zhang Sanfeng seemingly casually: "Does Brother Zhang know about the destruction of the Zhang family?" ”
Zhang Sanfeng said lightly: "I'm afraid no one in the whole Luoyang doesn't know, so I advise you not to buy that house." ”
Wang Xiang smiled noncommittally: "Okay, let's go and see the other houses first." ”
