Liufu.

Compared with the chaos of Kaifeng Mansion outside, this mansion with red walls and blue tiles and a deep courtyard seems to have fallen into another world.

Quiet, silent, peaceful......

The needles could be heard, the wide courtyard was silent, and not even a single maid or servant was walking around, and for a time it seemed like an empty haunted house, with pavilions and pavilions hidden in it, and a resentful wind passing through the lush trees.

The courtyard is deep, and the court grievances are deep......

"Crazy, must be crazy...... You rebel...... You can't kill you after you see me! ”

When the squire of the Criminal Department woke up, he found a burst of pain coming from the side of his head, which made him feel slightly dizzy and gasp.

He just wanted to raise his hand to touch the part of his head, but he couldn't move at all, and then he realized that he was tied to a chair with a rope, and he couldn't lift his arms so tightly that he couldn't lift his arms.

After being stunned for a long time, he finally remembered what had happened to him before, and suddenly raised his head suddenly, glared at his son angrily, and cursed again and again.

"Rebel", "Great Rebellion", "I Am Your Father", "I Will Beat You to Death"......

It's probably something like that, and the repetition rate is high.

It seems that this squire has been in the court for a long time, and he has become accustomed to the style of everyone being Sven, even if he scolds, he must be full of high-end style, and there is really no way to spit out fragrant words and say all kinds of vulgar words.

Of course, it may also be that he hasn't been really forced to be anxious, after all, the other party is his son, if the scolding is too ugly, wouldn't he have put himself in it? - Dogs can jump over the wall when they are in a hurry, and people can't scold when they are in a hurry.

"Dad, all the mistakes are the child's fault......"

Liu Zhengyuan, who had been standing cautiously by the door all the time, seemed to be watching the movement outside, and said as if he was very ashamed.

"But the child still wants you to believe the child once, at least after tonight, if it turns out that the child was really deceived, then the child would rather ......"

"You rebel! What a confusion! I...... How did I give birth to such an idiot as you! ”

Lord Squire was angry and anxious, and he scolded angrily.

"You believe everything those charlatans say, I'm really angry! Let me go now, don't mess around like this! ”

"......" Liu Zhengyuan immediately stopped speaking, but looked at his mother who had already believed his statement next to him with a look for help.

He is indeed very ashamed, but what he is ashamed of is not because he "mistakenly believed the statements of charlatans", because he knew very well that these were actually true...... He was ashamed that he had done it to his father.

suddenly made a difficulty, knocked his impatient father unconscious, and then, without anyone knowing, forcibly took over the command of his father, took over all the affairs of the house, and arranged everything-

This is really a big rebellion, if it happens in the palace, I'm afraid it will not reproduce the changes of Xuanwumen in the Tang Dynasty, kill brothers and fathers, and inherit the unification...... It's just shocking.

But he can't help it!

Liu Zhengyuan felt bitter in his heart, he finally saw how stubborn and stubborn the so-called old people can be in insisting that they are right.

He tried his best to communicate with his father, to make him understand what he meant, to understand how dangerous the situation was...... However, it was pointless, and the other party didn't want to listen to him at all.

That's right, it's not that I don't believe what he says, it's that I don't want him to speak at all.

It's not just because he stubbornly thinks that this is impossible, so he takes it for granted that his son is crazy. is even more because of the role positioning of the father, the old guy has to stubbornly and toughly maintain his authority.

As long as it is something that he denies, then his son will definitely not be able to continue to persevere-

Otherwise, he would never feel how sincere and serious the latter wanted to communicate with him between father and son, but would only feel that the son was rebelling against his father's authority, so he was angry and wanted to forcibly end the process.

I didn't want to believe it at the beginning, and when I later decided that my son wanted to rebel against the authority of my own Lao Tzu, he would not have the patience to listen to what the other party said.

At the end of the day, the father interrupted his son's words several times with extreme impatience, and found that the other party did not obey his will at all, and was so angry that he wanted his subordinates to arrest him and lock him up.

wants to make the latter understand who is the one who has the right to speak through punishment, and knock on this son who dares to contradict him.

And Liu Zhengyuan, who was almost arrested by his father and locked in the room, could only take a risk in extreme despair and helplessness-

Because he understood that it was impossible to convince his father by relying on honest communication, and the latter could not believe what he said, unless he waited until midnight and saw the appearance of the evil ghost with his own eyes......

But at that time, the only result is the death of his whole family, and at that juncture, what is the use of my father waking up again? Can you die clearly and not be a fool?

Are you kidding?!

Before coming back, Liu Zhengyuan had seen with his own eyes the terrifying ghosts that Wang Yuanwai's family had turned into, especially the kind of means that seemed to be able to cut the human world into a spiritual world, making people fall into it unconsciously without knowing it......

He had been tricked without even knowing anything, and when he carefully questioned the servants just now, he was also shocked to find that they also did not know anything, and he saw that he had gotten into the carriage and had never come down all the way.

As a result, when they returned to Liufu, they were horrified to find that there was no one in the carriage at all...... It's a pity that Lord Shilang of the Criminal Department feels that this explanation is insulting his IQ, whether it is said by the servant or by his son, he is not even willing to listen.

In view of this, Liu Zhengyuan decided that he could never sit still, his goal was very clear, if there was no way to achieve the goal in one way, then decisively change the way-

There was not much time for him to hesitate, and he would not be so stupid as to wait for death in despair because he couldn't convince his stubborn father.

In the end, that's what it looks like now.

"You know what! Shut up! ”

At this time, Lord Shilang of the Criminal Department became angry again, and his hair was all open, but it was because Liu Zhengyuan's mother was distressed that her son might have to suffer and stepped forward to persuade him.

"It's all your fault! As the saying goes, a loving mother is a loser, if you don't always connive at this rebel, how can he ......"

"Shhhh

At this moment, Liu Zhengyuan, who had been paying attention to the movement outside, suddenly changed his face, and hurriedly erected a food signal to silence his parents and not to speak.

"What are you doing? It's not big or small, and you still want me to talk?! The waiter of the criminal department glared, glared angrily at the rebel standing by the door, roaring like thunder, the more he spoke, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

As Lao Tzu, but now he is tied to a chair by his son, is this still like words?

If this thing gets out, I'm afraid it will become the laughing stock of the whole Beijing Division!

"They're coming......" Liu Zhengyuan's body trembled slightly, and for no reason, he felt a rapid spread of yin qi coming from outside.

"What's coming? Let go of me! Do you want to make our Liu family's affairs tonight a laughing stock?! Old Man Liu was still angry, and he didn't listen to what his son was saying at all, but just shouted loudly.

"Dad, please forgive the child for being disrespectful......"

Liu Zhengyuan gritted his teeth, knowing that if he continued like this, his father would kill his family sooner or later, so he could only walk over quickly and pick up the prepared cloth ball and plug Old Man Liu's mouth.

"Ah, Yuan'er...... This ......"

Compared to Lord Squire, whose eyes widened a few points again and was almost mad, Liu Zhengyuan's mother was at a loss, and she always felt that this was too much.

"Mother, don't talk anymore, turn off the lights first......"

The candlelight, which was not very bright, was extinguished, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness, and no one spoke anymore, and there was silence.

However, it was not completely dark, but the lanterns and candles in the corridor outside were still on, and the light was reflected on the window paper. After all, it is the family of the squire of the Criminal Department, and it is exquisite, and it is also bamboo strip paper, and this kind of paper is more translucent and has better light transmittance.

And almost as soon as the lights in the room went out, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside, as if someone was approaching the room from the outside, and slowly three faint figures were reflected in front of the door.

In the darkness, Liu Zhengyuan only felt cold, and that strange voice was like a talisman, desperately drilling into his head. I can tell the difference between distance and proximity, but it seems that the sound is the same magnitude.

It's pretty bizarre.

Or is this what plant ash is for? As long as it is spread on the ground, unclean things will make footsteps when they walk by, which can play a role in early warning?

The three strange figures were faintly reflected on the door, and one could imagine that there were three things standing outside the door, staring at the room with expressionless faces...... But perhaps because the rooster's blood had cut off the breath of the living, they didn't find anything.

After a long time, the slight footsteps began to sound again, and they left in other directions, and the strange figure disappeared.

Liu Zhengyuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and he felt that his heart was almost jumping out of his chest, because he was standing by the door, separated only by a thin layer of wooden planks and window paper from the three things outside.

He could almost clearly perceive the cold, rancid chill, as if something rotten was just outside the door.

The chill crept through the crack in the door, to his chest, and then to his heart......

"Go away! Go away!! ”

"Ah——!!h

At this moment, Liu Zhengyuan's nerves, which had just been relieved, suddenly rose again, and his pupils contracted violently.

He heard the frightened shouts of men and the screams of women outside, what was going on? Isn't it strictly forbidden for everyone to go out tonight and must stay in their own rooms?

Wait, isn't there someone who, like his father, scoffs at what he says and doesn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all?

And the two voices seem to be together...... Could it be that the two maids and the manservant, not only didn't think so, but even thought it was a good time for a tryst or something?

……

……

On a vast avenue that seemed to be boundless and monotonous, one by one the souls with dull expressions floated forward as if they were unconscious.

They look like living people, but their bodies are a little transparent, and in this seemingly aimless, but all in the same direction of the process, slowly some souls are "awakened".

Others are crying and crying, refusing to believe that they are dead.

Others, their expressions changed drastically, and they turned around and floated away, resisting and moving on.

"Aren't you going to stop them?" An energetic voice sounded, as if asking someone.

"No, it's not my job...... Wait until the underworld is established, and then let the ghosts go to catch them one by one. A voice replied faintly.
