Zhou Xuan didn't seem to believe his words, because Su Shi was too calm, calm as if he was watching a play.

Su Shi thought about it again and asked, "After Hui Niang died, was there anyone guarding the Red Plum Pavilion?" ”

"Originally, there were one or two subordinates on duty, but after the haunted incident, no one dared to be on duty there."

Su Shi asked again, "When did the haunted thing end?" ”

Zhou Xuan asked rhetorically, "How do you know that the haunting is over?" ”

Su Shi sighed: "I have ears." If a house has been haunted for nine years, and has long been the number one event in the capital, how can I not hear it? ”

Hearing the sarcasm in Su Shi's tone, Zhou Xuan couldn't help but glance at him and said, "It's probably three months." ”

"When did the Red Plum Pavilion become your property?"

"After seeing the report of the eight secret agents, I begged my father to give me the red plum."

Su Shi asked with some confusion: "Why?" ”

Zhou Xuan's face suddenly turned red, lowered his head, and said softly: "The ghost in the Red Plum Pavilion is naturally Huiniang, and the reason why she is reluctant to leave is obviously because she has nothing on her mind. ”

Hearing this, Su Shi suddenly realized, and couldn't help laughing: "Hui Niang's heart is that she didn't see the prince for the last time, so she wandered in the world, and your prince's brother will not let Hui Niang become a lonely ghost, and he will definitely come to meet Hui Niang." So you want to come to the Red Plum Pavilion to see your prince brother for the last time. ”

was told by Su Shi about the central matter, Zhou Xuan's face turned redder and his head lowered.

"Did you see that?" Su Shi asked with some curiosity.

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said slowly: "Since the eight secret agents reported this matter, Hui Niang's ghost has appeared less and less, sometimes it only appears once in seven or eight days, and it never appears again after three months. ”

Su Shi suddenly said, "Do you want to uncover the haunted secret of the Red Plum Pavilion?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xuan raised his head violently and looked straight at Su Shi.

"Don't you think it's Hui Niang's ghost who is haunting you?"

Su Shi sighed: "Although I also hope that there are ghosts in this world, but I don't believe much in the theory of gods and ghosts. Since I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I naturally think that these are man-made, and since they are man-made, of course there are traces to be found. ”

Zhou Xuan's eyes lit up: "Then how do we look for it?" ”

"Then you have to think about why the Red Plum Pavilion is haunted?"

Zhou Xuan is a smart person, but she thought that Huiniang had become a ghost at the beginning, so it became natural that the Red Plum Pavilion was haunted.

But now Su Shi gave her another idea.

If it's man-made, why do they pretend to be gods?

"Some people don't want others to live in the Red Plum Pavilion." Zhou Xuan muttered to himself, and then suddenly his face changed greatly, because according to this line of reasoning, their hard work in the past few years has almost been in vain.

The reason why these people want to pretend to be ghosts is not only because they don't want people to live in it, but they don't even want people to get close to the Red Plum Pavilion.

No one wants to approach a haunted house, and in fact, when the Red Plum Pavilion is haunted, the houses on the left and right have already been emptied.

Only in this way can those who pretend to be ghosts unscrupulously search for the secrets hidden in the Red Plum Pavilion.

And three months later, the haunting quietly subsided, indicating that the people had found what they were looking for.

Su Shi sighed: "It seems that what you are looking for has already been taken." ”

Zhou Xuan was indignant in his heart, and after sulking for a while, he finally had to sigh helplessly.

Su Shi was relieved, because since Zhou Xuan knew that the secret had been taken precedent, she would naturally tell her eldest brother, so his eldest brother could also die of this heart.

That way, everyone will be safe.

But at this time, Zhou Xuanxiu frowned slightly, looked at Su Shi, and couldn't help asking: "If the haunting is man-made, then how did they do it?" ”

It is precisely because so many unbelievable things have happened that everyone thinks that the Red Plum Pavilion is haunted, and Su Shi thinks that it is man-made, how to explain those weird things.

Su Shi said without changing his face: "I don't know." ”

In fact, he already has the answer to those things that seem unbelievable, but his goal has been achieved, so he naturally won't say it again, so as not to cause extraneous complications.

"You really don't know?"

Su Shi said lightly: "I'm just providing another possibility, you can also think that the Red Plum Pavilion is really haunted." ”

Although Zhou Xuan was still skeptical, compared to the ethereal theory of ghosts and gods, she was still biased towards Su Shi's inference.

And she also had a faint feeling that Su Shi should know far more than that, but this person was extremely hateful, so he had to hide it and refuse to say it happily.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare at Su Shi hatefully.

This glance made Su Shiru the second monk puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

The more Zhou Xuan thought about it, the more angry he became, he snorted coldly, and turned his head away, as if he didn't want to look at him anymore.

Although Su Shi felt inexplicable, he couldn't take care of it at the moment, because there was something he hadn't figured out yet.

"You still haven't told me, why do you think that handkerchief is hiding a clue?"

Zhou Xuan didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, but seeing his eager tone, he seemed to have discovered something, so he had to say: "Actually, the person who said that the clue hidden on the handkerchief is your eldest brother." ”

Su Shi was taken aback, he thought that the eldest brother was dragged into the water by Zhou Xuan, but he never thought that the eldest brother was the initiator.

"Why does he think that?"

Zhou Xuan said angrily: "Do you remember that there are four strange patterns on the handkerchief?" ”

Su Shi nodded, his memory was already very good, not to mention that the pattern was so peculiar, he naturally wouldn't forget it.

Zhou Xuan continued: "Your eldest brother has seen this strange pattern. ”

Su Shi was taken aback again, and couldn't help asking, "My eldest brother has seen this pattern?" Where has he seen it? ”

Zhou Xuan said slowly while recalling: "After Hui Niang died, the only relic was the handkerchief. And the texture of the handkerchief was runyusi, and those eunuchs did not dare to make their own decisions, so they returned to the palace. ”

"After I saw it, I thought that this handkerchief was only a love object between the prince's brother and Hui Niang, so Hui Niang would exhaust her efforts to embroider on it, so I asked my father to hand it over to me for collection."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xuan thought about it again before continuing: "After the haunting of the Red Plum Pavilion subsided, one day I met with your eldest brother to meet in the Red Plum Pavilion to pay tribute to the souls of the dead, I inadvertently took out the handkerchief, when your eldest brother saw the pattern on the handkerchief, he suddenly remembered one thing, so he thought that the handkerchief contained a secret." ”

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "What did he think of again?" ”
