After hearing Yun Youzi's diagnosis, Wan Ning and Zhou Tai turned their heads to look at each other very tacitly, and then turned their faces away from each other.

"Zhou Jiang, you take the Yunyou Daoist back to rest first, and then discuss this matter tomorrow, I'm a little tired. ”

After a brief silence, Zhou Tai waved his hand and motioned for the two to step back first.

"Okay, in that case, I'll come back tomorrow, and by the way, the wandering Daoist will also prepare magic weapons to catch ghosts. ”

Zhou Jiang said this, and the wandering Taoist next to him smiled at everyone and left the hall with Zhou Jiang.

At this moment, Zhou Tai raised his eyelids and glanced at the shopkeeper Kui who was standing at the door, and the shopkeeper Kui nodded tacitly, followed Zhou Jiang's footsteps, and left the hall.

The hall that was a little noisy before was now only Wan Ning and Zhou Tai left, Wan Ning looked at Zhou Tai's gloomy expression, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only sit in his seat and look at the dancing candle flame in a daze.

Time passed quickly, and after a while, the shopkeeper Kui returned to the hall again, and he hugged his fist to Zhou Tai, who was sitting on the high platform, and said, "I have sent Zhou Jiang and the Yunyou Daoist back to the Zhangren, at least here, there are no eyes and ears for them." ”

"Aque, you go make a cup of tea first, and our brothers will sit down and talk slowly. ”

Zhou Tai touched his face with both hands and said lightly to the shopkeeper Kui.

"When I got home, I had already instructed the kitchen to make hot tea, and I think it should have been delivered by now. ”

After receiving Zhou Tai's instructions, Shopkeeper Kui dragged away the chair and sat down, and replied.

"Or you know me. ”

Zhou Tai raised his head and squeezed out a smile, but the smile was very bitter.

During the conversation, a maid in blue held a silver plate and poured tea for several people, Zhou Tai picked up a cup, poured it into his mouth, and then wiped his mouth and asked the maid to pour tea again.

Wan Ning didn't know, but Shopkeeper Kui knew that whenever Zhou Tai encountered something irritable, he always had to make a pot of tea, which had become his habit.

"Okay, Brother Wan, you are a capable person, you have seen more things, tell me what this matter is about. ”

Zhou Tai finally put down the teacup in his hand, he paced down the hall, sat next to the shopkeeper Kui, and said to Wan Ning, who was a little surprised in front of him.

"It's... This is Brother Zhou's family matter, and at this time, I will only make people feel stupid if I offer my humble opinion. ”

Wan Ning thought about it again and again, and could only shake his head and say. He had deduced the truth about the paper ghost, but as he said, other people's family affairs are unspeakable, and this matter is not convenient for Wanning to say.

After all, from Zhou Tai's speech expression and demeanor from before to now, Wan Ning also knows that the middle-aged man who seems to be pot-bellied on the high seat, but is actually smart and keen, already knows the ins and outs of this matter.

"Brother Wan, but it doesn't hurt to say it, if you want to tell the truth behind this, it will be too cruel to me. ”

Zhou Tai smiled bitterly again and laughed at himself.

"Well... Well, then Wan Mou will make bold reasoning based on the existing facts. ”

Seeing Zhou Tai's words, Wan Ning waved his hand helplessly, then sorted out his thoughts, and said slowly: "If this matter is compared to playing chess, the two sides are opponents, so much is not to talk about for the time being, the core game on the chessboard is the paper ghost." ”

"The paper ghost is the core breakthrough of our exploration of the truth of the incident, and we know the true face of the so-called female ghost without alarming the other party. Through it, it is known that the ghost is haunted by only someone behind the cast of a spell, and the fine line of spiritual power that controls the paper ghost is sampled, although it is very weak, but when the caster does it again, it will reveal the horse's feet. ”

"And for the other party, the paper ghosts are the key to the layout of the opposite side, and for some reason, they pretend to be ghosts and frighten you. At this time, Zhou Dashao appeared with the so-called miracle doctor, thinking that it was time to collect the net and fish. Of course, the above is just my personal guess. ”

"You continue. ”

Zhou Tai stroked his chin and said loudly, his expression did not fluctuate much, obviously it was indeed as Wan Ning said, he also guessed this inference.

"It's a good design, but it's a failure. Of course, this is a seamless layout that hides from you and me, and it is only because of the discovery of Xiaomei that we know the strangeness in it, that is, the paper ghost itself is not a ghost. ”

"The appearance of real resentful ghosts often contaminates others with yin energy, like Brother Zhou, which lasts for a month, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that a soul will be sucked away. However, since I first arrived at the mansion when I met Brother Zhou, I have been very strange, although you have a bad complexion and a frightened expression, but your body is not contaminated with yin qi, and there is no trace of yin qi in the Zhou mansion, but just in case it is a high-level ghost appears, I am still ready to respond to the enemy. ”

"Therefore, if you are a spiritual cultivator who is truly proficient in the way of ghosts and gods, after simply looking and hearing and asking, you will not make such a ridiculous conclusion and say that you have hit a ghost. If it is assumed that Zhou Dashao, as an unwitting filial son, is desperate for his father's treatment, and finds the Jianghu Langzhong who is abducted and abducted, he will not falsely report that you are plagued by ghosts at all, but will only sell you the so-called family drug, cure all diseases, and then make money and slip away. So..."

"So as soon as they met me, they only fooled me a little, and they declared that I was plagued by ghosts, because they had created them, because it was my own son who planned to keep me in fear for a month, and I didn't care if I had a heart attack and was scared to death by ghosts. ”

Before Wan Ning finished speaking, Zhou Tai, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said. Who would have thought that these creepy words could come out of the mouth of Zhou Tai, who looked calm.

"Big... That's probably the case, but nothing is absolute, just in case..."

Wan Ning knew what kind of anger and sadness was hidden in the seemingly calm Zhou Tai's heart, and he could only say something relieved, although he knew that what he was saying was.

"A long time ago, I was just the son of a small nobleman in Chang'an Mansion, when I had just stepped into the business world, in order to win a higher status and greater interests, I sacrificed love at the expense of the pursuit of the daughter of the Jiang family at that time, that is, Zhou Jiang's mother, my deceased wife. ”

There was originally a hall of three people, but it was as silent as death. Zhou Tai suddenly took out a grass cigarette from his coat pocket, lit it on the lamp, took a deep breath, and began to tell the story of the past.

"I don't love her, she's pampered, outlandish, spendthrifty, and ugly—and of course she's not qualified to speak of anyone else. But I love the Jiang family behind her, the status in the business community of Chang'an Mansion, so I persevered in pursuing her, she always rejected me, but her father, who is now my father-in-law, appreciates me very much and thinks that I am the dragon and phoenix among people, so he eliminated great resistance and let me be with my wife. ”

"Of course, I wasn't happy in those years, but it didn't matter, because my goal was not to pursue a happy marriage in the first place. But I feel very guilty about my wife, because I got the support of the Jiang family, but she didn't get any benefits, so I can only tolerate her more and more inflated pampering, she is looking for a man to green me outside, and when she gives birth to Zhou Jiang, she will fight with them, I put up with it, people outside laugh at me, it is Zhou Cuckold, I feel that it doesn't matter, because under my endurance, the strength of the Zhou family has grown stronger and stronger, and finally I have become one of the giants in the business world of Chang'an Mansion. ”

Hearing this, even Wan Ning couldn't help but secretly speak. Except for Lin Liusheng, this is the second man he has ever seen so ruthless.

"Later, Zhou Jiang was born, and in order to show my loyalty to the Jiang family, I named him Jiang. Zhou Jiang's croaking and falling to the ground made me see the colorful hope for the first time in the gray Zhou Mansion. ”

Speaking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on Zhou Tai's face, whose eyes were fluttering.

"I gave everything to Jiang Er, and I even got up early and greedy for darkness myself, just to take care of him, you must know that for me, time is far more important than money. The best nurse, the best toys, the best private school teacher, the best food, clothing, housing and transportation, I not only satisfy everything he wants, but also give him the best, even if he wants the stars in the sky, I can't reach Zhou Tai, but also to create a pure gold for him. ”

"When he was seven years old, my wife died of illness, not by me, but by a genetic heart disease, and fell on the house of my father-in-law, at her funeral, everyone cried like a mourner, and my weak mother-in-law cried and fainted in my father-in-law's arms. However, to put it mildly, throughout the funeral, except for her concubines who were about to inherit part of her inheritance, the other person who was laughing was me. ”

"I was finally liberated and free, but in order to make up for Jiang Er's loss of maternal love, I gave him more indulgent doting, but soon I found that I couldn't hold him anymore. ”

"Jiang Er, who has entered puberty, quarrels with me all the year round, his appetite is getting bigger and bigger, he is becoming more and more extremely self-conscious, like his mother back then, and even in the end, he became addicted to gambling. ”

"Countless nights, he brought people home and roared at me for money, and countless nights, I took people to the casino, ransom people with a lot of money, and get back my own son, who was only left with underwear and was as decadent as a dead dog. Over time, the gambler Zhou Shao, one of the four young people in Chang'an, is known to everyone. ”

"But even so, I can forgive him, I still think that every man will slowly become mature when he reaches a certain age, he is my only son, and the entire Zhou family's huge family property still needs him to inherit, I even hid it from him, and changed a lot of land deeds to his name, just for fear that he would gamble, so I never told him. ”

"As his father, I have put in the time and energy, and I ask myself, although I am not good enough, it must not be bad, but I have paid so much! He makes me so cold! As the saying goes, a dog is not ugly for a mother, and a son is not for a poor family, but... But now, for some reason, he actually conspired with outsiders to harm me! I was tormented! For a month! For a month, for a month, Brother Wan, you put yourself in your shoes! I am a mortal who knows nothing! I have been attacked by evil spirits for a whole month! Is there any more cruel criminal law than this!!

Speaking of this, Zhou Tai finally couldn't suppress the feelings in his heart, he stood up tremblingly, and held the purple sand teacup tightly in his hand. only heard a "poof", Wan Ning looked down and saw that the teacup was broken into several petals under the grip.

The red blood fell to the ground along the shards, but Zhou Tai didn't seem to feel it, he was immersed in greater pain at this time.

"Rebel!

Zhou Tai looked up to the sky and sighed, beat his chest, and finally sat down in his seat dejectedly, and the ups and downs of decades turned into a cold sigh.
