In the World Chapter 66 The Murderous House

"The original owner of this yard is called Han Zhaohui!" The real estate agent's voice trembled significantly when he called out the name, and when he saw that Dugu Zhishui did not react, he was a little surprised and asked, "The little brother is a stranger who just came, right?"

"It's true that I just came to Anping not long ago. ”

"No wonder you don't even know Han Zhaohui. ”

Dugu Zhishui was curious: "What? This person is very famous?"

"It's not just famous, the ordinary people of Anping City know him!" The real estate agent was a little excited, "Lord Han used to be the superintendent of the imperial history of the current dynasty, responsible for supervising hundreds of officials. He is a good official who is honest and upright. ”

"During his tenure, Lord Han impeached many corrupt officials and powerful people, the most famous of which was Prime Minister Li Shi'an. At that time, Li Shi'an was the official of the left minister, the head of the hundred officials, and the commander-in-chief of the imperial military and political power, which can really be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, and he was in the limelight for a while. However, Li Shi'an was tyrannical and unreasonable, and during his reign, he colluded with the two major families of Yuemu to constantly support personal cronies in the court and kill loyal people. At that time, Li Shi'an's nephew served as the prefect of Anping, and he did a lot of things to oppress the people and rob the people's daughters and grass to save people's lives. ”

As a result, Li Shi'an sent an army to kill all the people who came to seek justice on the grounds of suppressing the mob, and set aside an area in Xicheng, ordering that civilians must live in this area to facilitate supervision. Lord Han was not afraid of power, and forcibly broke into the forbidden place of the palace several times, and counted Li Shi'an's accumulated crimes to the emperor, and the emperor was furious, not only investigated Li Shi'an, but also canceled the post of prime minister, and since then I have no prime minister in Daxia. It's a pity, good people don't live long, and Lord Han has offended too many people. ”

At this point, the real estate agent sighed, "Lord Han is an honest official, he originally lived in the alley of civilians in Xicheng, after Li Shi'an's case, the emperor decided to reward Lord Han with 10,000 taels of gold and another mansion in Beicheng, but Lord Han refused." The emperor felt that Lord Han living in a civilian alley really detracted from the majesty of the imperial court, and under some coercion, Lord Han agreed to accept the mansion. But soon after, there were rumors that Lord Han's family of eight died violently overnight, and the emperor was furious and sent people to investigate, but the murderer was not found in the end. ”

"Oh, that's not right!" Dugu Zhishui suddenly interrupted the real estate agent, "Lord Han's family is gone, so who sold this house?"

"This ...... I don't know, except that there was a man in a subordinate costume who had a title deed and commissioned us to sell the house. ”

"Having said all this, you haven't told me why no one has bought this house. ”

The real estate agent's face suddenly became a little unnatural, "Actually, someone has bought this house before." ”

"And who's selling this house now?"

"Don't worry, listen to what I've to say. The intermediary smiled bitterly, "A few years ago, a rich merchant bought this house for 30,000 taels of silver, but in less than half a year, the rich merchant's wife and children all died tragically in this house. The wealthy merchant was running a business in a foreign country at the time, so he escaped, and when he returned home, the bodies of his family were already rotting and stinking. Counting the wealthy businessman's family, two families have already died violently in this house, and this matter was rumored to be boiling at that time. ”

"A few days after the rich merchant came back, he came to us and said that he wanted to sell the house, but after such a big incident, who would dare to buy the house again. At that time, the rich merchant pressed the price to 10,000 taels, but no one dared to buy it, and in the end, the original owner of the house sent a guy to take the house back. Since then, the house has been put up for sale by the owner's family, and the price has been getting lower and lower. Originally, if the buyer didn't know what had happened in the house, someone would have bought it at such a low price, but the owner's family asked those who came to see the house to tell the truth about the previous things, and asked the buyer not to change the furnishings in the room too much after buying the house. ”

"That's weird about this seller. ”

"Who's to say it isn't. The agent sighed, "I've already said what I should say, and it's up to you to buy or not." ”

Dugu Zhishui smiled, "This house is good, of course you have to buy it." ”

"Do you really want to buy it?" the agent was surprised.

"What, can't you?"

"Of course, but aren't you afraid? To tell you the truth, I don't have much hope for this house for a long time. ”

"What's there to be afraid of, can there still be ghosts?"

"You're a cultivator, right?" the intermediary's face turned grim, "I'll tell you the truth, there have been a few cultivators who relied on their own strength and were not afraid of the sky, but I don't know why, the transaction ended in nothing." ”

"Are you selling houses or are you making trouble? Why do I think you're constantly trying to persuade me not to buy it?" Dugu Zhishui's face was strange, "You are weird enough to be an intermediary." ”

The intermediary smiled wryly.

......

In a bustling courtyard, a beautiful woman wearing a white tulle skirt is sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, outside the pavilion is a sea of flowers, all kinds of flowers are delicate and gorgeous, the breeze blows slowly, there are bursts of flower fragrance refreshing, intoxicated with the bees collecting honey, there are flocks of colorful butterflies lingering among the flowers, like dancing petals. However, the most amazing thing is that many colorful butterflies have abandoned the temptation of flowers and instead lingered around the woman in white for a long time, as if she were the most fragrant flower.

The woman in white took a deep breath of the fragrance of flowers brought by the breeze, and her face was full of happiness and satisfaction. Suddenly, she stretched out a slender jade hand outside the pavilion, and several colorful butterflies slowly landed on her palms as if they had been enticed. The corners of the woman in white curled, she gently blew a breath into her palm, and the colorful butterfly rode away in the wind.

The other woman sitting across from the woman in white seemed to be familiar with this, wearing a bright red wide-sleeved skirt, leaning lazily against the railing, her loose clothes still unable to hide her graceful curves.

"It's still my sister's beautiful Fanghuayuan, I don't have anything there, it's really boring. The woman in white said.

"No matter how beautiful a place is, it will be boring to look at every day. The woman in red shook her head slightly, "If you like it, I'll give you this courtyard." ”

"That's it. The woman in white smiled slightly, but the smile gradually faded, "I'm afraid I'm too comfortable." ”

The woman in red sighed lightly, "Can't you still let go of those hatred......s?"

"Let it go?" the woman in white sneered, "Why should I let go? I know my power is too small, but ...... Ants bite too......"

While the two were talking, a handyman hurried through the sea of flowers, went to the outside of the pavilion and shouted respectfully: "Lord Fang, the little one has something to report." ”

The woman in white glanced at the handyman, "Let's just say it." ”

"Yes," replied the handyman respectfully, "that mansion of yours has been sold." ”

"Huh?" The woman in white seemed a little dazed, she thought for a moment, and said, "You don't say that I forgot about it." ”

"That house was actually sold?" the woman in red was quite surprised, "Which one is the stunned Qing this time?"

......

In Xicheng, being able to live in Tsing Yi Lane is a sign of dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, and it is the supreme pursuit of countless ordinary people who have struggled all their lives. The Han family's house is in Tsing Yi Lane, and every time someone passes by Tsing Yi Lane, they are embarrassed to look at the dilapidated courtyard gate. Recently, the Han Mansion, which had been abandoned for several years, suddenly changed. The cracked courtyard gate was repainted with vermilion wood paint, only half of the plaque was thrown away, the dust in front of the door and the fallen leaves of the years were swept away, and through the half-closed courtyard gate, you can see the newly turned dirt and the newly paved stone road in the courtyard, the whole house looks much cleaner from the outside, and finally has some popularity.

The two little foxes writhed in the freshly turned dirt, getting dirty. Dugu Zhishui set up a reclining chair on the newly paved stone road, supervised Gu Boqing's work while drinking tea, and threw out a few dirt stumps from time to time, impartially just hitting the little fox who was fighting. When the two little foxes looked back with their teeth bared, they could only see Dugu Zhishui, who closed his eyes and recuperated as if nothing happened, and Gu Boqing, who was immersed in work.

"I bought a house but I can't move the furnishings in the room, where are you buying, it's clear that you are renting a house. Gu Boqing threw away the hoe and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"To spend so much money to buy such a big house, what's wrong with the seller's a little demand?" Dugu Zhishui rolled his eyes, "Isn't it a shame that you, a monk at the peak of a martial artist, is tired like this when he does some work?"

"Are you okay, are you coming?" Gu Boqing picked up the hoe and handed it to Dugu Zhishui.

"I don't owe you any money. Dugu Zhishui cut off, "Don't forget, even your life is mine now." ”

Gu Boqing's face turned dark, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I'll be a coolie for you these days, don't forget my salary, two taels of silver a day." ”

"Don't worry, I can't forget, you still owe me 999,988 taels of silver. ”

......

When the residents of Tsing Yi Lane passed by the Korean house, they were surprised to see that the dilapidated house was now suddenly renewed. Many people wanted to visit the door to see who had bought the house, but most of them stopped when they walked to the door, as if the last step of the door was extremely difficult. In the end, most of them only poked their brains outside the door to try to get a glimpse of the courtyard and then walked away.

However, there is always someone who takes that step. In the days after moving into the Korean house, someone would come to visit every three or two days, and for a while, Dugu Zhishui was a little big. He didn't expect that he would be able to buy a house and become famous, could it be that there was another secret in this house that could not be sold? And the people who came to visit saw that there were only two young men in shabby clothes living in this courtyard, and they were even more puzzled in their hearts.

After a few times, Dugu Zhishui and Gu Boqing were unbearable, so in the days to come, they kept the door closed, pretending that no one was at home. During the day, Dugu Zhishui went out all day long, and Gu Boqing nested alone in the study to paint.

"Oh, guest officer, you're here again, please. ”

The shopkeeper respectfully led the way, and Dugu Zhishui followed him to the second floor and sat down in a crowded position. Gu Boqing came out with him today, this is the first time he has come to Guangyuan Street. Today's Dugu Zhishui is also a frequent visitor to Yuyulou, although he wears shabby, but the shopkeeper will not treat him as a poor ghost.

"What do you have for dinner today?" asked the shopkeeper.

Dugu Zhishui casually ordered some tea and side dishes, and the shopkeeper quickly brought it up. Gu Boqing tasted the side dishes, couldn't help nodding, looked up and saw Dugu Zhishui drinking tea without saying a word, and asked, "This dish tastes good, don't you taste it?"

"You eat yours, leave me alone. Dugu Zhishui said casually: "Eat slowly, we have to sit here for a while." ”
