"Why is this happening?" The middle-aged servant is a little strange, since it is okay for others to be greedy, why did his own old lady be greedy but something happened.

"I'll tell you in detail, although the old lady's political achievements have always been good, and the people have lived well under his rule, but his greed is also famous, and he often robs merchants along the way to collect money, which makes the merchants who come to Beiqing Mansion miserable and hateful to him."

"That is, in the third year of his tenure as prefect, a Taoist came to the door and wanted to see the old lady, saying that he wanted to give the old lady a treasure."

"But how can the prefect's gate be so easy to enter, and the gatekeeper won't let him in at that time, but at this time, the old lady came back, and he thought that this person was also interesting, so he brought him into the mansion to meet him alone."

"After the Daoist and the old lady met, they took out a golden toad and said that this is the baby."

"As soon as the old lady saw this man take out a golden toad, she was a little angry, and felt that this person was really fooling him, so she wanted to ask someone to drive him out."

But the Taoist immediately stopped him, and then pointed to the golden toad, and the old lady was surprised to find that the golden toad was actually spitting out a coin.

Then he picked up the coin and looked at it, and saw that it was made of gold, and then he continued to look at the golden toad, and found that it was still spitting out the gold coin.

"So the old lady became greedy, and asked the Taoist to give him the golden toad, but the Taoist asked for 383,621 taels of silver, and the old lady was startled as soon as this figure was reported."

"For he had only checked the accounts not long ago, and there was only three hundred and eighty-three thousand six hundred and twenty-one taels of silver in his house. How could the old lady give this silver, naturally she refused"

"But he wanted this golden toad again, so he had an idea, and immediately ordered someone to beat this person out and snatch his golden toad."

"That Taoist was indeed beaten out, but within a few days, all the silver in the house was stolen, just 383,621 taels of silver, which made the old lady angry enough, and I also understood that it was very likely to be related to that Taoist priest."

"I immediately sent someone to arrest the Taoist priest, but they turned the entire Beiqing Mansion upside down, and the Taoist priest didn't even see a shadow."

"Then the old lady didn't look for it, and he knew that he had met a master, but fortunately, the golden toad was still spitting out money every day, and it was not a loss, so he didn't pursue it."

"But who knows, one day when the old lady was feeding the golden toad, the golden toad jumped out of the cage, and the old lady was in a hurry, so he went to catch it, but the golden toad jumped faster, and the old lady couldn't catch up."

"So the old lady called the people in the mansion to catch it, but this golden toad was very dexterous, and it was never caught, and it jumped from the bedroom to the hall, and from the hall to the front door, and finally jumped out of the front door."

"But what's strange is that no matter how the old lady chases, they can't catch up with the golden toad, and then the golden toad jumps over the downtown area, jumps over the city gate, and finally jumps to the Shaqing River next to Beiqing Mansion."

"Finally, I puffed through and jumped directly into the river."

"This ......" The middle-aged servant was speechless in some surprise, and then asked, "What happened later?" ”

The young servant picked up the gourd from the side and drank a few sips of water to relieve the dryness of his throat, and then continued: "At that time, the old lady was already in a hurry, so naturally he jumped into the Shaqing River. ”

"Then the old lady is dead?"

"Naturally, Sha Qingjiang is bottomless, where did people jump to live?"

"Even so, it is impossible for the Zhou family to fall into this way." Middle-aged servant.

"Hey, naturally it is impossible to fall so easily, but the strange things that followed caused the fall of the Zhou family."

"It is said that when the old lady was scooped up after his death, he was like a toad, with round eyes, crooked mouth, fat belly, short limbs, and a body covered with dense pimples like a toad."

"At that time, because many people saw the scene of the old lady chasing the toad, they all followed, and they also saw the scene of the old lady being fished up.

"But who knows that the reason for the old lady's death was not investigated, but the old lady's corruption was found, and this time the Zhou Mansion was directly raided, and the Zhou Mansion declined."

Saying this, the young servant looked at the middle-aged servant with a shocked and speechless look, and then smiled, obviously feeling very useful for the middle-aged servant's expression.

But he was obviously still a little dissatisfied, so he released an even more surprising news: "It is said that after the death of the old lady, Beiqing Mansion began to be haunted, and the sound of toads in the middle of the night could be heard in the entire Beiqing Mansion, and dozens of people died at that time. ”

"The dead look all the same as the old lady, they are all like the toad, the people who did the autopsy, found that these people were drowned, this is very strange, because they are all at home, how can they drown."

"You can ask about this when you meet someone from Beiqing Mansion in the future, this matter is very big, and the government can't suppress it."

"This ...... It's better to say less about this matter now. The middle-aged servant shuddered, looked around, and felt like a demon.

"Hehe......" The young servant smiled, so that the middle-aged servant could talk about some other things, and then time passed little by little.

It's just that what the two of them didn't see was that they didn't know when, the eyes of the Bodhisattva Buddha statue in the main hall had turned into two bloodshot eyes, staring at them intently.

Then the time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for the sky to be bright, and Li Si also woke up.

He got up and stretched, then patted the dust off his body, and then dusted off the clothes that were used as pillows and put them in the bookcase.

And his movement also woke up some of the people on the other side, who were watching him with wary eyes.

Li Si didn't pay attention to these people, and walked out of the temple under the gaze of these people, after he went out, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, the air after the rain was exceptionally fresh, and he could also ask the smell of grass and trees from the air, which made people feel extremely comfortable.

Then, without hesitation, he bypassed the carriage and walked down the hill, and in a short time he reached the official road.

After arriving at the official road, Li Si carefully identified the next direction and walked in the direction of Jingning County.

At this time, the official road was not so easy to walk, and he could still touch puddles from time to time, so he walked much slower in order to avoid this puddle.

On the way, he also took out dry food from the bookcase to eat, but, as he walked, he felt that something was not quite right.
