The three of them came to Jixiang County again.

Xu Da went to Yamen to find Dou Dachun, and Wang Qilin took Xie Toad to find Zhou Zhongsheng's former residence.

Jixiang County is divided into two cities, the inner city is the temple in the east, the school in the west, the residential area of the officials and wealthy in the south, and the market and shops in the north.

According to Du Cao's introduction, Zhou Zhongsheng's family lives in the area of Chengxi Society, and it is easy to find out after arriving.

With plenty of time, Wang Qilin decided to go to the evening fast first.

This elegant small building used to be full of students, but now it is full of people.

There are two seals on the door, Zhang Quan is a felony to sell the stolen goods to the tomb robbers, he himself was stripped of his reputation and sent to prison, his wife and daughter were sent to the Jiaofang Division, and the guys in the store were unlucky, and they were also imprisoned to await the verdict.

The merchants in Xicheng know the inside story, although they know that Zhang Quan deserves it, and they usually disdain and scold when they mention it, and some will steal fun because of the death of a colleague.

But the rabbit died and the fox was sad and hated the same enemy, and they were very unhappy to operate all this to listen to the heavens, so when Wang Qilin went to inquire about the news about Zhou Zhongsheng, they squeaked and whined, pushing and hindering.

Wang Qilin asked four or five book clubs, but found nothing.

It made him choke on him.

In the matter of Qin Jin's robbery, he listened to the heavenly prison to deceive him, and in the matter of Zhou Zhongsheng, various shops deceived him.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Xu Da was right, he lacked pits in the five elements, so someone always cheated him?

Fortunately, there are not only book clubs and shops in Xicheng, but also many families, he and Xie Toad asked the people, and they can be regarded as inquiring about Zhou Zhongsheng's news.

There is a reason why Zhou Zhongsheng, a scholar who has failed many times, can live in Xicheng, his Zhou family is a big family in Jixiang County, although it is not as good as the Dou family where Dou Dachun is located, but it is not far behind, the Zhou family has been a scholar for generations, and the scholarly family is a scholar.

After hearing the news, he was about to go to Zhou's house, when a woman in a pair of plackets hurriedly came and asked him, "Is this an adult who listens to the heavenly prison?"

"In the lower king Qilin, Xi is to listen to the small seal of the heavenly prison. Wang Qilin politely hugged his fists at the woman and looked at her attire.

If it is a placket with large sleeves, it is generally worn by noble ladies, and the placket small sleeves are ordinary women's casual clothes.

The woman she found was wearing a pair of small sleeves, but the image of spring butterflies and flowers embroidered on it should not be from an ordinary family.

After listening to Wang Qilin's introduction, the woman smiled slightly and said, "Lord Wang should have also read a book?" I heard that you are inquiring about the second son of the third room of the Zhou family, do you need any help?"

Uncle Bo Zhong Ji, there must be a Zhou Bosheng above Zhou Zhongsheng.

Wang Qilin said: "I heard that there was an accident in Zhongsheng's family more than ten years ago, and the record of this case was a little sloppy at that time, and I was a little puzzled and wanted to come to inquire to see if I could still find out the news." ”

The woman said: "It's been many years since this incident, I'm afraid not many people still remember the tragedy of the second son of the Zhou family." It just so happened that I was working in the Zhou family at the time, so I knew a lot, and if Lord Wang wanted to know something, then ask me. ”

After eating too much closed door soup and touching too many soft nails in front of the merchants, someone suddenly took the initiative and enthusiastically came to entertain him, which made Wang Qilin a little flattered.

He wanted to go to Zhou Zhongsheng's house first, and asked, "Is Zhou Zhongsheng's house still there? I mean, has it been sold to others?"

The woman whispered, "Who dares to buy it? No one even dares to touch the houses of the neighbors." ”

"Then please take me to see it. ”

"My lord, please, you don't need to call me any lady, just call me Mu Xiaoniang. ”

On the way, Xie Toad gave him a look, and after widening the distance between him and Mu Xiaoniang, he said: "There will be no elixir from the sky, be careful and deceitful." ”

Mu Xiaoniang led them to the front of an ordinary house, she introduced it on the road, the Zhou family has a big business, but Zhou Zhongsheng is not a descendant, he comes from the third room that is not valued, and only by studying can he enter the core of the Zhou family's power, so he works very hard when he goes to school.

"However, he is not favored by Master Wenquxing, and he can't even get a show talent after more than ten years, and in the end he has no choice, in order to fight for a future, he has to go to the heavenly prison on an errand, but the result is good, father, mother, daughter-in-law, children, a family of seven people except him all died!"

"It's a very strange and miserable death! No matter how big or small, the belly is not broken, but the stomach is empty, and I don't know where the internal organs have gone!"

Wang Qilin listened to Mu Xiaoniang's introduction and looked at Zhou Zhongsheng's house, this is an old house, the blue bricks are broken, the black lacquer gate is mottled, the iron door knocker is rusty and corroded, the courtyard wall is crumbling, and there are weeds growing on the gatehouse at the head of the wall.

There has been no popularity for more than ten years, and the house looks lifeless.

Some cemeteries are more vibrant than this one, after all, there are still grave robbers.

Xie Toad went up and pushed the door open, the summer sun was quite blazing today, but after shining into the yard, I saw that the snow was bright and not hot, like fake sunshine.

It's like......

Something sucks away the sun's heat.

The weeds in the yard were knee-high, and as the door creaked open, there were no birds, birds, hares, mice, etc., which was very abnormal.

The two walked into the courtyard, and a small whirlwind suddenly broke out at the door of the inner house, and clumps of grass swayed wildly in the wind.

The windows of the room were rotten, and a few dark shadows flashed in the room.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin immediately chased after him: "Dao Chief, block them! There are ghosts, it may be the ghosts of the Zhou family, and none of them can be let go!"

He pulled out the eight meows and threw them in as a hidden weapon first.

Xie Toad shook his head and said, "It's just lonely ghosts, my lord, it's useless to leave them." ”

Wang Qilin kicked open the door of the house and rushed in, and the lonely ghost had already been scared away.

He put on the ice beads, the beads were cool, and there was some yin in the house, but it was very light, which was left by the lonely ghosts hiding in the house.

The room was gloomy and dusty, and it looked like a shiver from the bottom of the heart, but there was nothing in it.

Wang Qilin hoped that there was a powerful ghost inside, so that he could use the sacrificial knife.

He has not been able to show his skills since he had the power of a bull, which made him very depressed.

After turning around the rooms and not finding anything, Wang Qilin was very disappointed: "I came in vain, but I didn't find anything. ”

Xie Toad said: "It's not in vain, didn't we find a lonely soul and a wild ghost?"

"Found them fart?"

"I found that their use is great, and their arrival represents one thing, it was not the Qin Jin Tribulation Ghost who killed Zhou Zhongsheng's family in the first place. If Qin Jin had wreaked havoc in this house, he would definitely leave behind the yin qi to which he belonged, which was a kind of territory mark for ghosts, and lonely souls and wild ghosts would never dare to come!"

Wang Qilin was surprised: "There is still such a saying?"

Xie Toad nodded: "There is no need to doubt. ”

When they went out, they tried to ask their neighbors about the situation again, but the neighbors on both sides had already moved and the house was empty.

As Mu Xiaoniang said, no one buys an empty house.

Wang Qilin asked Mu Xiaoniang, "Do you know where Zhou Zhongsheng went?"

Mu Xiaoniang shook her head and said: "I don't know, many adults have come to inquire, I heard the Zhou family say that he seems to be a monk, and some Zhou family members said that he is missing, and the Zhou family sent people to look for him, but these people are also missing, and the Zhou family can only treat him as if he died outside." ”

After she finished speaking, she saw that Wang Qilin was about to leave after closing the door, so she stopped him and said, "My lord, the slave family has something I want to ask you for help, can you help the slave family?"

She was afraid that Wang Qilin would not agree, so she hurriedly added: "It's not an ordinary help, it's to save the life of the slave family and the life of the slave family's son." ”

Wang Qilin looked at Xie Toad, it was really the old Jianghu, and he really let him say it correctly.

Xie Toad asked, "How can I help?"

Mu Xiaoniang said helplessly: "There is a strange thing in the slave family, and I ask the adults to administer justice." ”

Wang Qilin said: "Then you say, listen to the heavenly prison in charge of tricks, this is not help, this is my responsibility." ”

Mu Xiaoniang was overjoyed when she heard this: "My lord is really a good official, you come with me, please go to my house for a cup of tea, and let me tell you about this matter slowly." ”
