Taolin Lane in the western suburbs of Yangzhou Mansion, this is a beautiful place in Yangzhou Prefecture, where more than a dozen wealthy businessmen live, the reason why those rich people built their houses here is because of the environment here, the small river in front of the house weeping willows, flowers and plants on both sides are flourishing, and the peach blossoms are 100 acres behind the courtyard.

But in this beautiful place, there is a house that looks out of place, the house is located on the north side of Taolin Lane, the tall courtyard wall has been overgrown with wild grass, the white ash on the wall has fallen off a lot, the original vermilion gate, has become a little black and purple at the moment, and the stone steps in front of the house are covered with moss.

Fifteen years ago, Wu Shiyun was ordered to be beheaded by Emperor Kangxi because he was involved in a case of anti-poetry and disobedience.

Afterwards, the local government wanted to sell this house, but the surrounding businessmen and wealthy families were worried about causing trouble, and secondly, everyone thought that this house was unlucky, so no one funded the purchase of this house, and it was precisely because of this that with the drift of time, this Wu house was gradually abandoned.

But in the middle of the night more than ten days ago, the surrounding residents heard a burst of women's crying, at first everyone thought they had heard it wrong, but when everyone carefully discerned it, they confirmed that they had heard it correctly, there was indeed a woman crying, and it was not a woman.

Hearing the sound of a woman crying in the middle of the night, the owners of several houses sent their subordinates out to take a look and find out which household was disturbing the people in the middle of the night. When those subordinates followed the sound to find them, they were all startled, and they found that the place where the woman's crying came from was the Wu Mansion that had been abandoned for a long time.

Just when these subordinates were frightened by their discovery, the crying in Wu's house actually stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became unusually quiet, as if nothing abnormal had happened just now.

Seeing this, all the subordinates were so frightened that they ran back, and when they got home, they told their master what they had seen.

After hearing the strange situation of Wu Mansion, the surrounding residents did not sleep all night, and before dawn the next day, these merchants in Taolin Lane all went to Huang Baishan and asked him to send someone to investigate the matter.

After Huang Baishan heard about the matter of Wu Mansion, he didn't take it to heart, and randomly assigned a group of officials to check on Wu Mansion, so he put this matter in the back of his mind, but he didn't expect that by almost noon, that group of officials had not come back to resume his life.

At this time, Huang Baishan felt that the situation was a little wrong, so he immediately recruited Tong Zhen, the chief catcher of the government office, and briefly explained what had happened, and he ordered Tong Zhen to take people to Wu's house to investigate, and by the way, see what those officials were doing.

When Tong Zhen rushed to the Wu Mansion with the arrest of the government officials, he did not find anything abnormal, but when he brought people in, he was startled by the scene in front of him, and the seventeen officials sent by Huang Baishan before all died in the courtyard of the back hall of the Wu Mansion.

Seeing that the wounds on the bodies of these officials did not look like they were caused by humans, Tong Zhen and the catchers who came with him were a little drumming, and when they were cleaning up the corpses, they all felt a cool breath after discovering the words "ghostly ghosts" hidden under the corpse of one of the officials.

After briefly checking the Wu Mansion and finding that there was nothing abnormal, Tong Zhen ordered someone to carry the corpses back, and then blocked the news to prevent this matter from causing panic.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world, I don't know why? The news of the killing of those officials leaked out, and under the spread of false rumors among the people, the matter was turned into a ghost in the Wu Mansion who came back for revenge.

Since the seventeen officials were killed, almost all the surrounding residents have spent money to invite the magic weapons of Buddhism and Taoism to suppress ghosts and ward off evil spirits, and everyone has also pooled money to invite many high-ranking monks and Taoist priests to go to the surroundings of the Wu Mansion to do a few rituals, one is to overtake those dead souls, and the other is to hope that this can protect their own peace.

But even so, on weekdays, the surrounding residents still feel hairy when passing by the Wu house, this night, two horses came to the door of the Wu house, and after the horses stopped, one of the horses, down a man in the costume of the officer, and the other horse came down two teenagers, these three people are none other than Liu Hua, Sun Shidong, Li Touer.

Li Tou'er looked at the ghostly Wu Mansion, and couldn't help but be a little timid: "Two sons, this is the Wu Mansion, now the black lights blind you can't see anything, let's investigate again during the day, right?" ”

"What? Are you scared? Inspecting this kind of place, the effect of night is better than that of daytime, because only when it is highly consistent with the situation at that time, it is possible to find the flaws of the other party when empathy. ”

After saying this, seeing that the two of them were still confused, Liu Hua explained softly: "When the surrounding residents first noticed that there was something unusual here, it happened to be dark night, and they said that they heard the crying of women here, but when the family members of those residents came to the door of the Wu Mansion, the crying stopped.

As you said just now, it's night, and you can't see anything in the dark, so how did those women know that someone was coming from outside the door? And it happened that those people stopped crying when they arrived at Wu's house?

When I came, I looked at the house and found that the house was not too close to the surrounding residents, and those residents could hear the crying here, and there was only one possibility, that is, the other party was crying at the door, otherwise, the sound would not have traveled so far.

Since the women were weeping at the door, and they knew that someone was coming from outside the door, why didn't they speak? Instead, he suddenly stopped crying? This has to be doubted, and why do those women cry at night for the sake of the deed? ”

"Do you still have to think about it? Of course, the unjust soul of the Wu family has come back to take revenge, otherwise, how did my seventeen peers die? I said Liu Gongzi, let's get out of here quickly, I feel more and more panicked. Li Tou'er looked at Liu Hua nervously.

"There are no ghosts in this world, only science, hey...... Why am I telling you this? You don't understand it. When the words fell, Liu Hua glanced at the gate of the Wu Mansion: "I want to enter the Wu Mansion to check, do you two dare to go in?" ”

"If you die, you won't go in, we'll wait for you outside." Hearing Liu Hua's inquiry, both of them shook their heads like rattles, saying that they would not enter the Wu Mansion at all.

Seeing that the two of them were resolute, Liu Hua and Sun Shidong asked for a fire fold, and Li Touer asked for a torch, and after lighting the torch, Liu Hua took off the seal that the prefect's yamen had pasted on the gate of Wu's house in the early stage. Then he pulled out the iron bolt on the door and pushed the door into Wu's house.

"Bang...... Syllable...... "......As soon as he entered the Wu Mansion, before he took two steps, Liu Hua was tripped over by the weeds and broken bricks in the yard, he almost tripped over, and swept down with a torch, and he found that the ground near him was full of broken bricks and weeds.

Suddenly, Liu Hua seemed to think of something? After he closed the door of the Wu Mansion from the inside, he slowly squatted down, and through the light of the torches, he carefully observed the broken bricks and weeds on the ground, and looked at it, and he found something suspicious.

Near the gate, many of the broken bricks showed signs of being kicked open, and they were kicked from the inside out, presumably because the people inside almost tripped while walking, and then kicked the broken bricks on the ground to the side.

In addition, some of the weeds on the ground had traces of being dragged over, and some of the weeds were broken, picking up a few broken weed leaves from the ground, Liu Hua stood up and took a closer look.

After careful inspection, Liu Hua found that these dead grasses had traces of rubbing, and there were some scraps on the leaves of a dead grass, and after pondering for a moment, he put this weed leaf into his arms.

The whole Wu house covers an area of very broad, this is a two-entry house, there are more than 40 houses, the backyard was where Wu Shiyun and his family lived, and the front was where the people lived.

Liu Hua tried to extinguish the torch and experienced the feeling of walking in the dark, because the wild grass in the house grew very tall, and the ground was full of broken bricks, ordinary people could easily trip over it if they did not use lighting props to act from the house.

Assuming that his judgment was correct, those women were crying at the door, but when someone appeared outside the door of the Wu house, the crying suddenly stopped, and there was no trace of abnormal sound, according to this situation, and then thinking of the dry grass that was pulled off at the gate, Liu Hua suspected that there were other people in the Wu house at that time besides those crying women.

After mentally analyzing, Liu Hua continued to walk forward, and when he reached the nearest room to the door, he suddenly stopped.

Because he smelled a faint smell, if it weren't for the silence in the middle of the night, there was no smell of other people around, and Liu Hua's energy happened to be highly concentrated, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed this smell.

He went to the window next to the room, sniffed through the broken window, and made sure that there was indeed a faint stench in it, which he had smelled in his previous life, and remembered it vividly, because it belonged to the smell of the decomposing corpse.

After confirming this smell, Liu Hua couldn't help but be a little puzzled, because according to Huang Zhifu's previous account, those officials were killed at the door of the back hall of the Wu Mansion, and the corpses had all been transported away, but if that was the case, why would there be a smell of corpses in this room?

Thinking of this, Liu Hua suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to check other rooms, when he walked through the Wu Mansion, he found no other suspicions, except the room closest to the door, which made Liu Hua feel the most suspicious.

Before returning to this house again, Liu Hua hesitated slightly, and then he gently pushed open the door of that room.
