After Steward Fan explained the situation of last night, he took his leave and left.

He was just here to say hello.

Last night, the shot of the eunuch in flower clothes made him realize that the two young ladies in front of him were by no means idle.

Their Hou family acted a little domineering in Hu Yulou last night, and Steward Fan couldn't help but think about it, for fear of leaving a bad impression on these two young ladies, so he came to thank him so politely.

After listening to Steward Fan's narration, several people looked at each other.

Originally, the haunted thing, except for Princess Yuan'an, the three little ones only thought it was a rumor.

But with the conclusive and outspoken words of the parties, even the three little ones couldn't help but waver.

Because even the well-read Princess Ankang has never seen a detailed record of ghosts in any book.

This book is not just an exaggeration, since the three little ones can go to the Thousand Stars Pavilion once a month, Princess Ankang's reading volume has skyrocketed.

Although she has been mainly researching about the North recently, she has also read a lot of popular science content about this world.

Princess Ankang had read a book that depicted the various life races in the world, but she remembered that there was no description of the ghost race.

But in the face of the situation last night that Steward Fan talked about, Princess Ankang also had to wonder if there was a possibility that the ghost clan could not be classified as a life race.

"Sister, this is much more interesting than the case that was arranged for us!"

The three little ones were still in the circle, but Princess Yuan'an's eyes were already shining with excitement.

"Huh?"

The three little ones didn't expect that this Princess Yuan'an was not afraid of ghosts at all, but on the contrary, she was very interested.

In fact, Li Xuan and Princess Ankang were also a little curious about the origin of this female ghost.

Princess Ankang wanted to fill in her knowledge gap, while Li Xuan felt uneasy.

If there really are ghosts in the world, Li Xuan needs to figure out whether he can kill these ghosts.

Ever since he started practicing, he has been particularly concerned about whether or not something exists outside of his power system.

After all, that meant trouble he couldn't solve.

If it was really as Steward Fan said, the ghost fire could quietly ignite a person, and Li Xuan had to consider whether he could prevent such a situation from happening.

Maybe one day Princess Ankang and Yu'er will also be targeted by ghosts.

"Sister, why don't we check on this female ghost today?"

"We haven't figured out what to do today, have we?"

Princess Yuan'an suggested with great interest.

Li Xuan clearly saw that the faces of the eunuchs in flowery clothes became ugly.

Immediately, a man stepped forward and knelt down and persuaded:

"Two young ladies, the ghost is ethereal."

"It's probably someone pretending to be a ghost behind their backs."

"The means that Steward Fan talked about, some masters can do it."

"Mixing in at will may cause the master's revenge."

"Please think twice about it."

Duty, even if he has to say these words.

And sure enough, Princess Yuan'an didn't take these words seriously at all.

"Don't forget, we went out of the palace this time to investigate the case."

"Now that there is a murder happening, how can my sister and I not know about it?"

"And maybe that's part of the game."

Princess Yuan'an offered this statement, and the eunuchs in flowery clothes could no longer refute it.

Then, Princess Yuan'an also smiled and continued:

"Besides, what if there are really masters, can they still be higher than a few of you?"

The eunuchs in flowery clothes looked at each other, and their faces were bitter.

It turns out that Princess Yuan'an is not not emotionally inefficient, but she selectively uses her emotional intelligence.

The three little ones were also curious about this case, but now that Princess Yuan'an is this bad person, it is to avoid their tongues.

Seeing that the eunuch in Huayi stopped talking, Princess Yuan'an smiled proudly, and then said to Princess Ankang:

"Sister, I'll go check the rumors of the female ghost after breakfast, and at noon, let's meet here, okay?"

Princess Yuan'an already had the direction she wanted to investigate, so she settled down as soon as she spoke.

Seeing that she already had an idea, Princess Ankang also nodded:

"Just sister, I'll go check on other related people, and at noon we are facing clues on the same pair."

Last night's events piqued the interest of the two.

After they had quickly settled their breakfast, they went their separate ways.

Princess Yuan'an and when she went to investigate her case yesterday, she was in good spirits.

Seeing Princess Yuan'an leave in a hurry, Sanxiao only took the remaining half of the eunuchs in flowery clothes and the eunuchs in charge of recording, and stood outside Hu Yulou.

"Miss, where are we going now?"

Yu'er pushed Princess Ankang's wheelchair and asked.

"Ah Xuan, what do you say?"

Princess Ankang lowered her head and asked Li Xuan in her arms.

Li Xuan thought about it, immediately swung his tail, and wrote a few names on Princess Ankang's palm.

"Zhao Si, Ayimu, Zhou's mother, Doctor Fang, Steward Fan."

Originally, there should be a female ghost, but Princess Yuan'an has already checked this clue, so they don't need to check it again.

It would be best if you could find relevant clues on the road.

Now, you don't have to take the initiative to look it up.

Looking at the names that Li Xuan wrote on her palm, Princess Ankang also nodded.

"Hu Yulou's Oiran Ayimu has disappeared, and Zhou's mother is now under house arrest in Hu Yulou by the Hou family."

"Steward Fan's words, I have already asked once before, but I am afraid that I will not be able to ask anything if I ask again."

"Right now, it's Zhao Si and Dr. Fang who are the most suitable to investigate."

Princess Ankang summed it up and already had an idea.

"Let's go find that Doctor Fang first, I saw him in Hu Yulou earlier."

At this time, the fast-eyed eunuch in the flower clothes had already returned to Hu Yulou to inquire, and soon came back to give an answer:

"Miss, after Dr. Fang has been interrogated by the official, he has already returned to his own medical hall first."

"The address of the medical hall is here."

The eunuch in flower clothes handed over a hastily written note and handed it to Yu'er, who was pushing a wheelchair.

Yu'er unfolded it in front of Princess Ankang and showed her the words on it.

"Okay, let's go here first."

The group headed for the address on the note.

In just a few moments, they came to an alley not far from Hu Yulou.

Compared with the prosperity of Flower Street, it seems to be much more dilapidated.

And in the shadows of the alleys, there are many figures.

These people were lying or sitting with numb eyes, like a group of walking corpses, and when they saw Princess Ankang and her party breaking into the alley, they all rolled their cloudy eyes and looked at them curiously.

Li Xuan frowned and looked at these people nested in the alley.

Due to the tall buildings on both sides, the light in the alley is very dim even though it is daytime.

And there is a bad smell here, which makes people feel sick.

The gazes of these people looking at Princess Ankang and Yu'er made Li Xuan very unhappy.

It's just that these guys soon saw the eunuchs in charge of the guards.

Although the eunuchs in flowery clothes are no longer in the flower clothes of Ouchi, but in ordinary samurai uniforms, their figures are tall and burly, and the momentum of practicing martial arts all year round is even colder.

The star-sharp gaze of the eunuchs in flowery clothes swept over like falcons, and those who were hiding in the shadows of the alleys all looked away, not daring to look again.

Li Xuan also didn't expect that there would be such a street rat hidden on the seemingly prosperous Dongshi Flower Street.

These people are in a different state and expression, and they look like they have overdosed.

"It seems that no matter how prosperous it is, there will inevitably be a shadow behind it."

Li Xuan looked at these people, wondering how these people made them so inhuman.

At the end of the alley, there are several dilapidated houses.

According to the address I heard earlier, the inconspicuous house at the end was Dr. Fang's medical hall.

It's just that there is not even a plaque hanging in front of the door of this medical hall, and I don't know how this doctor receives patients on weekdays.

If they hadn't inquired before, anyone passing by would have known that this was a medical hall.

The eunuch in flower clothes stepped forward and knocked on the door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time.

At this moment, a crack opened in the door next door.

"Who are you?"

The old man's voice suddenly came, startling the three little ones.

Behind the crack in the door was a white-haired old woman, her tanned skin a little red, and her face was covered with dense wrinkles.

She opened an eye that was about to be opened, and looked at Princess Ankang and the others vigilantly.

"This old woman, we are here to find Dr. Fang, isn't he at home?"

The old woman saw Princess Ankang sitting in a wheelchair, and opened the crack of her door a little more, revealing half of her body.

"Doctor Fang went out last night and hasn't come back yet?"

"Are you here to see a doctor?"

"I can leave a message for Doctor Fang for you."

The old woman's attitude was obviously much softer than before.

Even though Princess Ankang still has eunuchs in flower-clothed clothes who look very scary by her side, she doesn't seem to be as wary of them as she was at the beginning.

"Old woman, I'm not here to see a doctor."

"Last night, Dr. Fang saved my cat."

"I'm here to thank him."

Princess Ankang hugged Li Xuan in her arms, and Li Xuan also cooperated with the delicate meow.

"That's right."

It can be clearly seen that after the old woman saw Li Xuan, her eyes softened a little.

"Doctor Fang may be back later, you can wait at the door."

"Otherwise, you can come back later."

"I'll mention what you've been here to Dr. Fang."

The old woman said that she was about to close the door again.

Princess Ankang's eyes immediately flashed, then she smiled sweetly and asked the old woman:

"Granny, can we borrow your place to rest?"

"We've come all the way, and we're a little tired."

The old woman looked back at them, then let go of her hand that had closed the door.

"Whatever you want, I can't stop you if you want to come in anyway."

"Uh......"

Princess Ankang's expression immediately froze, and she didn't know what to do.

It made it seem as if they were breaking into a house.

At this time, the old woman's voice came from behind the door again:

"Come in."

With these words, Princess Ankang breathed a sigh of relief, and then instructed the eunuchs in flower-clothed clothes:

"Let's stay outside the door, and it's nice to have someone go in with us."

The eunuchs in flowery clothes nodded, and immediately set up control around here.

The eunuch in the flower dress who was carrying Li Xuan last night followed them into the old woman's courtyard.

Li Xuan found out that this eunuch in flower clothes was still a small team leader.

After entering the door, they found that the courtyard was not small.

It's just that the yard is overgrown with weeds, and it is obvious that it has not been taken care of for a long time.

The courtyard is surrounded by three low houses, which is a good layout for sitting north and facing south.

And this neighborhood is some distance from Flower Street, and those high-rise buildings can't block the sunlight here.

Just across an alley, they came from the bustling and lively flower street to such a seemingly dilapidated farmhouse courtyard.

"I can't think of a place like this in the East City."

Li Xuan thought that the East Market, where every inch of land was expensive, was full of "high-rise buildings", but he didn't expect that there would be such a place that looked similar to the countryside.

"It's more like a slum than Boryeong."

There was a mossy stone table in the courtyard, and several broken stone chairs beside it.

Fortunately, Princess Ankang prepared her own chairs, otherwise she really couldn't find a place to sit.

The old woman took out a kettle and a few thick bowls, put them on the stone table, and threw down a sentence: "Take care of yourself." ”

Then the old woman sat down as if no one was around, and began to do needlework.

Yu'er stepped forward and picked up the kettle, first poured a bowl of water for the old woman, and then poured a bowl in front of Princess Ankang.

The old woman couldn't help but raise her eyes, looked at Yu'er and Princess Ankang who was holding Li Xuan, and then quickly withdrew her gaze and continued to be busy with the needlework in her hands.

"Is the old woman familiar with Dr. Fang?"

"It's just a neighbor."

The old woman didn't seem to have any desire to talk, and replied succinctly.

Li Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly, it seems that it is not easy for Princess Ankang to inquire about some things today.

"Old woman, what do you think of Mrs. Fang?"

"It's good."

"Is Doctor Fang's medical skills good?"

"It's okay."

"Hu Yulou caught fire last night, do you know?"

"Oh."

"Listening to the haunting on Flower Street, isn't the old woman afraid to live here?"

"Don't be afraid."

“……”

After repeating this for more than a dozen rounds, the answer given by the old woman became more and more concise, and in the end, she just responded to Princess Ankang's question casually.

Princess Ankang was deeply shocked, and felt as if she was not a piece of material for investigating the case.

But it's no wonder that Princess Ankang is no wonder.

She lives in the deep palace all the year round, and the person she usually deals with the most is Yu'er.

Now that she is out of the palace and has met all kinds of people, her social experience really can't support her to get the answers she wants from other people's mouths.

Don't look at the officials to check it so easily, but in fact, there are skills in it.

One of the most important is to recognize people.

You have to see who the other party is before you can pry out the information you want from the other person's mouth.

Don't look at the officials who are people from the yamen, even when they are interrogating, they will encounter all kinds of people who do not tell the truth, and they will inevitably have to coerce and lure them when the time comes.

Although Princess Ankang is talented, her rank in this area is still too low, and she can't get the answer she wants from the old woman's mouth.

Princess Ankang was deflated one after another not long after she started, and she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Doctor Fang also did not return for a long time, and the atmosphere in the courtyard began to become a little silent and awkward.

"Hmph, it seems that my grandfather Meow has to go out himself!"

Li Xuan stood up and kissed Princess Ankang's high-pitched mouth.

She has now been made autistic by the old woman, and Li Xuan has to comfort her.

After Princess Ankang was kissed, she touched Li Xuan, and then she felt better.

After comforting Princess Ankang, Li Xuan jumped out of her arms.

Li Xuan took a catwalk, slowly approached the old woman, and then pretended to unintentionally gently swept the old woman's rough hand with his tail.

The old woman was doing needlework, and when she looked up, she saw Li Xuan looking at herself with her spare eyes.

Li Xuan looked away, meowed delicately, and then rushed at the old woman with his ass and made a gesture to leave.

The old woman retracted her gaze and was about to continue to be busy, but her hand was itchy again.

It turned out that Li Xuan took advantage of her inattention and killed another horse pistol.

This time, his body was closer, and the old woman could reach out and touch Li Xuan.

The old woman didn't control herself after all, and the ghost envoy reached out and stroked Li Xuan's head.

Li Xuan looked like he wanted to refuse and welcome, pretending to be invincible to the old woman, and was helplessly touched.

"What a grinding little girl."

The old woman said the longest sentence since they entered the courtyard, which almost moved Princess Ankang to tears.

The more the old woman touched it, the more comfortable she became, and she completely put down the needlework on her hands.

Li Xuan is also coquettish and cute, doing everything to make the wrinkles on the old woman's face bloom like chrysanthemums.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er glanced at each other, and they both saw the smiles in each other's eyes.

Li Xuan was so happy that the old woman was amused, and her mouth naturally loosened.

After a while of Li Xuan, the old woman sighed and said to Princess Ankang:

"Little girl, do you want to ask about the haunting on Flower Street?"

Princess Ankang had asked a lot of questions before, and the haunted thing was just one of them.

But Princess Ankang was not stupid, and immediately nodded:

"Do you know something, old woman?"

The other person may just want to answer the question right now, or just know about it.

But no matter what, it's better to follow the old woman's words now.

"On this flower street, not to mention every day, there are always a lot of girls dying every month."

"It's not impossible to have one or two angry ghosts."

"Little girl, do you say yes?"

The old woman gave Li Xuan a hair, and said without raising her head.

But Princess Ankang frowned when she heard this.

"Why do people always die on Flower Street? Doesn't the government care? ”

Princess Ankang thought to herself, if there was a serial murder case on Flower Street, it would not be possible.

When the old woman heard this, she shook her head and smiled.

At the first glance after she opened the door, she saw that Princess Ankang was a child who did not eat fireworks in the world.

And these words confirmed her conjecture.

"Little girl, do you know what kind of business is being done on this flower street?"

Princess Ankang's face was slightly red, but she nodded anyway.

As a result, the old woman shook her head:

"No, you don't."

"The guests paid for the girls for one night, and the girls were the guest's belongings that night."

"It's good to meet gentler guests."

"But the problem is, there are also those rough guests."

"Every month, a girl on Flower Street is played to death by a guest."

"The desires of the human race are like a bottomless abyss, which can never be satisfied."

The old woman sighed with emotion, and then said:

"Doctor Fang has to help collect a few corpses from the Qinglou on Hua Street every month, and when Doctor Fang comes back, you can also ask him."

"So, it's no surprise that this flower street is haunted."

Princess Ankang was a little uncomfortable when she heard this, and asked the same question again in confusion:

"What about the government? Don't they care? ”

The old woman couldn't help but take a second look at Princess Ankang.

In their place, it has been a long time since they have seen such a simple child.

"For Qinglou, the girls are just commodities for sale."

"If the product is broken, you lose money."

"According to different contracts, different values, and different amounts of money."

"Wife, I have lived for so many years, and I have never heard of anyone who was convicted and imprisoned for killing a girl in the Qinglou."

Princess Ankang wanted to say something more, but the old woman interrupted her first.

"Little girl, do you know how much tax the Qinglou on Flower Street can pay every year?"

Hearing this, Princess Ankang's mouth opened, but she didn't make a sound after all.

"Everything in the world is a 'profit' word."

Speaking of this, the old woman had lost the will to continue.

Princess Ankang was silent for a long time before she said quietly:

"Old woman, I was in Hu Yulou yesterday, and it seems that there are more than just girls there."

Hearing this, the old woman laughed, choked on herself, and hurriedly drank the bowl of water in front of her.

Then she wiped her tears and said:

"Yes, yes......"

"Now, I can sell anything."

"Someone buys, someone sells."

"Hahaha......"

The old woman couldn't stop laughing, full of ridicule, and she didn't know who she was laughing at.

Princess Ankang looked at the old woman's smile, but it was always not a taste, and she felt uncomfortable.

At this time, the sound of door panels moving outside the courtyard sounded.

The old woman stopped smiling, pushed Li Xuan's buttocks, and said to Princess Ankang:

"Doctor Fang is back, you go find him."

Princess Ankang nodded knowingly and hugged Li Xuan back into her arms.

"Old woman, there is a lot of disturbance today."

"We'll visit you next time."

As a result, the old woman waved her hand in disgust:

"If you know it's a nuisance, don't come again."

Princess Ankang gritted her teeth, kept smiling, and said stubbornly:

"Old woman, we will definitely come again!"

The old woman shook her head and muttered softly:

"The little girl is quite stubborn."

The old woman's voice was just enough for Princess Ankang to hear, making the green tendons on her forehead jump.

Princess Ankang can be angry like this with such a good temper, and this old woman's skills are also good.

After saying goodbye to the old woman and coming out of the courtyard, they just happened to see Dr. Fang who had removed the door panel and opened the door.

Doctor Fang suddenly saw so many people coming out of the courtyard next door, and immediately frowned.

But after he saw Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms, his frowning brows loosened again.

"Hey, it's you."

Doctor Fang didn't recognize the others, but he recognized Li Xuan.

At this time, Princess Ankang calmed down the anger she was suffering from the old woman, and then smiled and said to the other doctor:

"Doctor Fang, I heard last night that you saved Ah Xuan, and we came to thank you."

"No, no, it's just a matter of effort."

Doctor Fang hurriedly waved his hand, and seeing that this group of people had no intention of leaving, he had no choice but to say:

"Why don't you come in and sit down?"

Doctor Fang was originally just polite, after all, his medical hall was very small, where could there be so many people.

But the next moment, Princess Ankang nodded happily and said:

"Then you're welcome!"

Doctor Fang didn't expect the wheelchair-bound girl in front of him to be so polite, but his words had already been spoken, so he had to admit it.

"Well, the humble house is rough and not enough to welcome, please forgive me."

With that, Dr. Fang walked in first.

Yu'er pushed Princess Ankang into the house.

The threshold of Dr. Fang's house was smoothed, and the wheelchair was pushed in like this.

It's just that he's much smaller here than the yard next door.

The place used as a medical hall in front of it is very cramped.

After Yu'er pushed Princess Ankang in, she couldn't accommodate more people.

The leader of the eunuch in the flower clothes could only stand in the house with one foot and one foot outside the house.

There is a table and two chairs, and it is estimated that only one patient can come in at a time, but it is very private.

There are two medicine cabinets on both sides of the room, which occupy most of the small space, and as soon as you enter, you can smell a strong smell of medicinal herbs.

As soon as they entered the house, the sound of meowing sounded in the house.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er both looked at Li Xuan, and Li Xuan looked innocent.

"Hey, it's obviously not my voice, is it?"

"That's far from what I'm called."

Li Xuan thought dissatisfiedly.

And just then, a dirty cat came out from the back of the house.

The cat looked a little bigger than Li Xuan, but the whole cat was covered with dust as if it had rolled in the ground several times, and it looked like it had escaped from the fire in Hu Yulou last night, watching the smoke and fire.

But then they took a closer look and realized that it was the cat's coat color.

"What an ugly tortoiseshell!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Thank you for the support of the two dogs of the king next door, the angel who loves to laugh, the middle and the old iron, the Qi Bai Yizi, and the Ge kiss next door.

Thank you for your monthly ticket support.

This plot is a continuation of the first and second volumes, so it may be a little longer, but it is about to end.

I'm going to try to finish it within this week, and then I'll officially start the second volume.

Good night everyone, see you tomorrow~
