Chapter 42: Revenge (6)
After breakfast, the two went directly to the ruins of the Republic of China residence that Hou Nan said, because it was not in Xinhai, the two of them simply took the high-speed rail.
Three hours later, the two got off the bus at a place called Tan Qingzhen in Sichuan and Chongqing, looking at the ancient picturesque town in front of them, it was hard to imagine that there was a ghost house here.
Before going to the ruins, Ye Ziye contacted Hou Nan, and Hou Nan had already sent someone to wait for them in Tanqing Town.
"May I ask if it's Mr. Ye Ziye, right?"
A middle-aged woman with a lovely smile walked over to Ye Ziye, who was looking around.
"I am, you are..."
"Oh! I am Mr. Hou who arranged to receive you, just call me Mama Lin. ”
is another surnamed Lin, although he knows that the two cannot be related, but Ye Ziye is still sensitive to the intuitiveness of this surname.
"Hello, I'm sorry for your troubles during this investigation."
Ye Ziye talked with Lin Ma familiarly, and Yun Midu on the side consciously started to stand in the human shape.
"Actually, the owner of this house, strictly speaking, has something to do with me.
Our ancestors used to be housekeepers in this house, and they won the trust of the owner of the house.
So I can tell you about the house as well. ”
"That's great, can I call you Sister Lin? You look so young! Can't be called that old. ”
Ye Ziye looked at Mother Lin sincerely, and looked embarrassed by Mother Lin.
There is no woman who doesn't like compliments, even if it's fake.
"Xiao Ye, your mouth is so sweet, I'm half a person who has been cut into the ground, what young is not young."
Ye Ziye started his performance by climbing down the pole, and Yun Midu secretly admired Ye Ziye's ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense.
In Ye Ziye's idle talk, the three of them quickly arrived in front of the old mansion.
Looking at the dilapidated old mansion with burnt marks in front of him, Ye Ziye felt a pity in his heart, if it was still intact now, it would have some commemorative significance.
When Mama Lin called the door of the house, she could still faintly smell a burning smell.
Yun Midu looked at the materials used in the house, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it can be left intact until now, it will definitely be a cultural relic." ”
"Huh? It's just a building from the early Republic of China, right? ”
Ye Ziye has no research on architecture, but he also knows that the things called cultural relics are those things in ancient times, and the things in the Republic of China period are valuable, but they can't reach the stage of cultural relics, right?
"This old mansion is a timber building, and the materials are all golden silk nanmu, do you say it's worth it?"
Ye Ziye looked at the sawdust that was burned into black charcoal in his hand in shock, golden silk nanmu?!
This thing is not a question of whether it is expensive or not, and if you can find so many golden silk nanmu to build a house, the owner of this house must have had a lot of power at that time.
No wonder Yun Midu said that it is a cultural relic, this should be placed now, a complete old house of the Republic of China, not to mention the building comparable to the Forbidden City, it must also be the object of key relics protection.
"Sister Lin, what is the identity of the owner of this old mansion?"
Mother Lin frowned and looked at the charred house, and said with emotion: "He is a young and promising warlord, surnamed Huo. Before the age of thirty, it occupies most of the power here.
My grandfather was Huo Shaoshuai's housekeeper, and after the Huo family was burned down, my grandfather escaped by luck, but Huo Shaoshuai and his newlywed wife were burned to death. ”
Ye Ziye looked at Mother Lin in shock, and asked with a stammer: "Have we always been called Tan Qingzhen here?" ”
Lin Ma thought for a while and said: "Tan Qingzhen was renamed after the liberation, and it was called before... What is it called? ”
"Great Liang City?"
"Yes, yes, Da Liang City. It seems that after the Huo Mansion was burned, the successive wars began, and then after the liberation, it was renamed Tan Qingzhen. ”
Ye Ziye's brain was already a little down, he never thought that this old mansion of the Republic of China would be related to the story of Zhou Luanqing, a century-old ghost he met before.
The most incredible thing is that this is Huo Ming's mansion, but it is all unrecognizable.
"This Huo Shaoshuai can use so many golden silk nanmu to build a house, it seems that the forces and capital behind it cannot be underestimated. But why was it burned to death? ”
Ye Ziye said casually and slowly walked towards the residential hall.
"I heard my grandfather say that the fire in Huo's house happened to be on the night of Huo Shaoshuai's wedding day. No one expected a sudden fire when the guests dispersed, so there was no rescue in time. Huo Shaoshuai and the newlywed lady both died inside.
It is said that this house was renovated before, and it was renovated to marry the young marshal lady. ”
Huo Ming really spent money for Zhou Luanqing! But no one outside knows what's going on behind the fire.
"Thank you, Sister Lin, let's take a look around first, you are busy with yours, we will look for you again if we need to."
Ye Ziye said to Lin Ma obediently, and Lin Ma turned around and left with a bright smile. Walking to the door, she suddenly thought of something, turned around and said, "By the way, there is an important thing I forgot to tell you, don't go to the backyard, there are dirty things."
You can come to my house for dinner after you're done in a while, and I'll go back first. ”
Ye Ziye nodded, and it wasn't until Mother Lin left that he turned to look at Yun Midu.
"What do you think?"
"If your classmates don't have a problem, it's 'it' that wants to see us. It seems that things back then were not as simple as we knew. ”
Ye Ziye looked at the huge burned yard, and said with some doubts: "You say... Does this case have anything to do with Gao Wancheng's one? ”
"Why do you think that? Did you find anything? ”
"No, I just feel... The problem with Gao Wancheng and Zheng Lihe lies in Lin Jianlun, Huo Ming's house a hundred years ago is related to Zhou Luanqing we met before. It doesn't seem to matter, but I just think..."
Yun Midu frowned and looked at him, and his heart began to feel uneasy. Ye Ziye's subconscious ability is slowly awakening, which is not a good phenomenon.
"It's okay, since you don't have a clue yet, take your time. First of all, it should be done as two commissions, if there is really a connection in the follow-up integration. ”
Yun Midu brought Ye Ziye's thinking back lightly, and the two of them didn't think about it, and went directly to the backyard.
Since there is something that wants to see them through Hou Nan's mouth, how can they not see it?
The burndown in the backyard was even worse than the hall, and Ye Ziye remembered that the backyard was the location of Huo Ming and Zhou Luanqing's wedding room.
Through the burned cloister, they came to the door of the wedding room.
In the wedding room, there was a man dressed in a wedding dress, with a hard and handsome face, but there was a strong evil aura between his eyebrows.
"The two of you have worked hard, it took so long to invite the two of you to come, please bear with me if the etiquette is not good."
Huo Ming's hoarse voice was a little like a dilapidated window leaking from the wind, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to.
"What are you looking for us for?"
As soon as Ye Ziye finished speaking, he felt that his body was protected by Yun Midu on the side, and the beam of the house where he was standing just now collapsed in the next second.
