Chapter 22: The Murderous House

Jiang Yunyu took Dai Nong Lan Qian and a subordinate who drove from Tanyang, and it took two days to arrive in Lizhou.

In the distance, you can see the three-story gray brick wall, with the towers on top and towering into the clouds.

The red solid wood city gate is inlaid with clear yellow copper nails, which is very impressive, and there is a black wooden plaque on the door, and there are two quaint big characters on it: Lizhou.

Although it had been predicted that Lizhou would be much more prosperous than Tanyang County, a few of them were shocked when they first entered the city.

As soon as I entered from the city gate, I saw that the roads were all paved with stone slabs, and the houses on both sides were carved with beams and painted columns, and there were Rui beasts squatting on the corners of the eaves. Tall and verdant trees can be seen everywhere, and there are many shops in the city, from rice, flour, grain and oil to rouge gouache, and the melons and fruits on the street are fragrant, and the cries of selling are endless. There are endless pedestrians on the road, and peddlers, pawns, and official ladies can be seen everywhere.

It's a dazzling sight.

They wandered around the city aimlessly, and somewhere they went, when the song of Qingyue was heard in their ears.

"Palindromic poems, lovesick debts. Flower paper elephant tube, Tian alloy hairpin. In the bright moon of geese, people are outside the green mountains. Alone on the dangerous building is helpless, and the west wind is a piece of separation (1). ”

She only felt that the lyrics were novel and interesting, and before she had time to think about it, the singing went away.

But I heard someone around sigh: "I have the fate to see Miss Xiangyin, and Zhao has no regrets in this life." ”

He turned his head and saw a man who looked like a scholar in a long robe. A person next to him who was dressed similarly to him said, "If you want me to say, Mr. Chiaki's words are a must......"

The man continued, "That's it, Mr. Chiaki and Miss Xiangyin are simply a perfect match, but who is Mr. Chiaki so incomprehensible, can't we still dream." ”

She felt as if there was another story in it, and secretly wrote down the name "Mr. Chiaki" in her heart.

She clutched a piece of paper tightly in her hand, which Xie Qinglin had left her at the beginning, his address in Lizhou. They had come to join him on this trip. Unexpectedly, it was delayed by the bustling scene in the city.

She carefully searched for the address, planning to inquire about passers-by when she was not far away.

She got out of the carriage and walked slowly, when she suddenly heard someone say, "That haunted house, there are really people living in it." ”

"Shhh......h ”

She had no intention of paying attention to these gossips, but because of someone, she was now extremely sensitive to the word "capital", so she quietly paid attention to what they were saying.

It turned out to be three women who were not young and talked together, and they seemed to be very relaxed.

The woman who spoke first came dressed in a blue floral cloth dress, and exclaimed, "It turned out to be from other places, no wonder." ”

The other woman, who was plump and looked slightly younger, nodded in agreement, "Yes...... If they had heard about that, who would want to live in it? ”

Jiang Yunyu's curiosity was aroused, and she walked over in small steps and asked them, "Are you talking about this place?" She showed them the note in her hand, but she didn't expect that the three women were illiterate, so she had to read the address again.

When the three women heard this, their faces instantly lost blood.

Jiang Yunyu also chuckled in her heart, she secretly said that it was not good, she didn't expect Xie Qinglin to really live in the haunted mansion they said, and when she thought that she would also live in it, her face became even more ugly.

"Sisters, tell me what happened there." She asked, stubbornly.

The three women didn't want to talk to her more, but they couldn't stand her grinding and soaking all the time, and took out a few pieces of broken silver and promised them as a thank you gift, so they couldn't help but let go.

Apparently it was the temptation of the silver pair that overcame the fear of ghosts and gods.

Once they opened their mouths, they gushed like rushing water, and you said it to me.

"Here, there was originally a scholarly family, more than 20 years ago, I heard that they had committed something in charge, and they were waiting for the government to come and detain, but one night there was a sudden fire, and their family of more than 20 people were all buried in the fire, and no one survive......d."

"Someone has seen a wandering lonely soul at night."

"yes, it looks exactly like their dead little boy."

"And ah, the people who have lived in since then have either died mysteriously or moved out suddenly for some reason. Over time, no one dared to live anymore. ”

Jiang Yunyu pieced together the cause and effect of the incident from their fragmentary accounts.

It turns out that this house is haunted, and it doesn't sound like a ghost, but more like someone is haunting it......

"Girl, listen to my advice, don't go and join in the fun...... it's okay," the woman in blue said to her worriedly.

Jiang Yunyu smiled back, "Thank you." ”

If you promise someone else's things, how can you say that you won't go if you don't go.

She returned to the carriage and ordered the driver to follow the route they had pointed out.
