423. Deep in the Compound (On the first day of construction, I miss everyone)
Xu Da first went to inquire about the market news.
Half a day was enough time for him to get the news he wanted, and the recent situation of the General's Mansion was sent to Wang Qilin.
With the information investigated, Xu Da reported to him: "Zheng Bushi is indeed a beautiful son, a merry and pretty gentleman, he used to be a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, and he was famous in the mouths of the girls in the city, and he called himself Xiaosan......
"Amitabha, wait, which three whips?" Shen Yi asked curiously.
Wang Qilin frowned and said: "Don't interject, what he said is the little three changes, this is to learn Liu Yongliu three changes, and he claims to be a romantic talent." ”
Shen Yi said: "Then the problem is, Liu San whip ......"
"Master Ma, don't you care about your subordinates?" Wang Qilin roared impatiently.
Ma Ming came in in a hurry, undressed as he walked in, Shen Yi shrank his head in fright, and rushed to the window with an arrow to push open the window and jumped out.
Let Shen Yi make a mistake, Xu Da was not interested in reporting seriously, he said: "Anyway, Zheng Bushi didn't go to the Qinglou much after marriage, but some people speculated that he had no money, this general's mansion was magnificent on the surface, but in fact it was really poor." ”
"Outside of the gold, the defeat is in it. Silver-like pewter tips. Wang Qilin nodded.
He recently studied at night with Black Bean and became literate.
Xu Da said: "Yes, but in the past 20 days, Zheng Bushi has begun to mix in the Qinglou again, and he has made a generous move, and it is said that he has won the appreciation of the new top brand of the flower banquet. ”
Wang Qilin spat disdainfully: "Ah tui! disgusting, you literati are really disgusting, prostituting women should be beautiful, vulgar!"
Xu Da said: "Seventh Master, you speak quietly, don't shout like this, we are still far away from the fifth flavor here, and there are several walls separating it." ”
Wang Qilin secretly said You know a fart, my daughter-in-law is a fox spirit and has ears to the wind.
Xie Toad groaned: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Seventh Master, do you remember what the old Taoist priest said at that time?"
"Zheng Bushi, a powerless son, why does he have to marry a girl from the Liu family? Even if he knows that this girl is a female ghost, he still insists on being with her, are they true love?"
He smiled and shook his head: "Lao Dao has seen through all this a long time ago. ”
Wang Qilin said: "Zheng Bushi covets the wealth of the Liu family, in order to get this money, he has been restraining his nature, acting with his wife to raise eyebrows, and both husband and wife have returned the family, and now he should have gotten the money, so he began to restore his nature unscrupulously?"
Xie Toad said: "Yes, he is unscrupulous now, and if the old way guess is right, he will not only unscrupulously restore his nature, but also unscrupulously get rid of the Liu family's Jiaoniang, Mr. Zu is what he invited!"
A line is completely straightened:
After Zheng Bushi learned that the ghost in Liu Qingyi's body was Liu Jinde's ex-wife Liu's Jiaoniang, he still insisted on marrying her in order to obtain the wealth of the Liu family.
He himself has been lingering in flowers since he was a teenager and has seen a lot of beauty, so naturally he will not be obsessed with Liu Qingyi's body, nor will he be interested in the soul of Liu's Jiaoniang, so the goal is to achieve his true face and begin to snub his wife to return to the days of lustful dogs and horses.
And he knew that Liu's Jiaoniang was a ghost, and he was worried that he would be retaliated against for his calculations, so he asked Mr. Zu to take revenge, but Mr. Zu's cultivation was not as good as Liu's Jianniang, but he was calculated by Liu's Jianniang, and finally ended up dead......
Wang Qilin made a guess, and then led the charging group to attack, and they went directly to the gate of the General's Mansion.
The last time I came to the General's Mansion, the gate of the mansion was mottled with red paint, the flowers and plants in the garden were messy, and some corners were piled up with residual snow, and there were rotten and dead leaves in the snow, and the environment was messy.
Now the gate has a new look, the number of maids and servants in the house has increased, all parts of the garden including the corners have been cleaned, the nursery garden has been reorganized, and some plum blossoms, small green pines and other vegetation have been transplanted, and the yard is decorated with colorful colors.
Knowing that Wang Qilin had come to the door, Zheng Banying, the head of the General's Mansion, hurriedly came to greet them and took them to the living room for tea.
This time, the tea leaves are soaked in the water with green color and uniform size, the tea is like jasper, the green is clear, the water vapor lingers, and the fragrance is fragrant.
It's much more high-end than the tea I drank last time.
After Wang Qilin sat down, he said with great interest: "Mr. Zheng's mansion is really well cleaned up, it should have cost a lot of money, right?"
Zheng Banying said with a smile: "Lord Wang's false praise, what is this good? ”
Wang Qilin asked, "What about Ling Gongzi and his wife? This official came to find him today because he actually had something to ask them." ”
Zheng Banying said: "Oh, the dog is going to the banquet of his classmates, please Haihan, it's not the New Year, and the dog has many friends and classmates, so it is inevitable that there will be more entertainment." As for my daughter-in-law, she has been unwell recently and has been living in the backyard to recuperate. ”
Wang Qilin smiled and said, "Zheng Gongzi went to the banquet?
Zheng Banying smiled awkwardly, and said with a haha: "The scholar is romantic, the scholar is romantic, this is a matter between their students, and I have never cared about it." ”
Wang Qilin plucked his ears and said, "Okay, it seems that it is inconvenient for them to see this official?"
Zheng Banying said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, Lord Wang, do you think you want to ask something? Why don't you talk to me a few words? I think I might be able to help you." ”
Wang Qilin said: "It's okay, during the two days of the Lantern Festival, a person named Mr. Zu came to your house, right?"
Zheng Banying said calmly: "Yes, Shangyuan Festival exorcism, that Mr. Zu is a famous monk in Lubo County, after my daughter-in-law's introduction, I invited him to come to the house to cast spells." ”
Wang Qilin tilted his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "There is a Rui Beast stone carving from the Divine Workshop at the gate of the General's Mansion, and your daughter-in-law is a ghost herself, and then you have to invite a monk to cast a spell? What are you doing with a spell? Do you want to exorcise ghosts?
Zheng Banying's eyelids jumped, and he said reluctantly: "Lord Wang, what are these words......
Wang Qilin interrupted him and said sincerely: "Mr. Zheng, please believe in this officer, this official has respect for the sergeants guarding the frontier from the bottom of his heart, and he will never want to harm the sergeants and their descendants, so if your family has not committed a crime, this official will never trouble you." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Banying breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly showed a grateful smile on her face.
But Wang Qilin still has the second half of the sentence: "This official has more respect for the laws of the court and the justice between heaven and earth, as long as anyone dares to do something that hurts heaven and reason, even if the official fights to offend the royal family and lose his official hat, he must make him pay the price he deserves!"
He was serious about that.
Loud!
Zheng Banying's smile froze.
Wang Qilin didn't speak, stared straight at him, and there was no expression on his face.
Zheng Banying is not an old oilman, he has no interest, so the huge business left by his father fell in his hands.
He couldn't keep his family business, and he didn't have the courage to keep it.
Xu Da also investigated this and said that Zheng Banying's father, General Zheng Lao, once lived in the second rank of the official residence and started from the battlefield, with a total of five sons, but the four sons successively followed him to the battlefield and fell on the battlefield.
So when the youngest Zheng Banying was born, Zheng no longer allowed her husband to take her son out of Xinjiang, but carefully protected him in the back room, but the protection was a little excessive, resulting in Zheng Banying's lack of assertiveness and independence from childhood to adulthood.
This is also the reason why General Zheng decisively returned to his hometown in Shangyuan Mansion with his wife after falling out of favor: continue to stay in the capital, once he is gone, Zheng Banying will be swallowed by the jackals, tigers and leopards in the capital.
Wang Qilin suppressed Zheng Banying with his gaze, he really lowered his head, and snorted: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang enforces the law impartially, and I naturally admire it." This is, well, a blessing for the people, a blessing for the court......"
He turned over and over these few words.
After listening to this, Wang Qilin said: "Take this official to see your daughter-in-law, or you can tell me directly who killed Mr. Yao Jiakouzu." ”
Zheng Banying swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "My lord, I'll tell you the truth, I'll tell you the truth." ”
"Actually, in fact, it's actually like this, alas, I originally wanted to exorcise evil spirits and welcome blessings on the Shangyuan Festival, but I didn't tell Mr. Zu that his daughter-in-law was a ghost. ”
"Please understand, although the dog is in love with and Jiao Niang, but you know, it is a family ugly after all, right? Family ugliness cannot be publicized, so I strictly ordered the insider not to disclose the news. ”
"This Mr. Zu is an outsider, and he definitely can't tell him the truth, and this is a bad thing!"
When he said this, he showed a crying smile: "After Mr. Zu came, he burned incense and paper, and at first everything was really good, and the paper ash flew up and turned out to be a dragon and phoenix Chengxiang figure, which made people look amazing." ”
Then he cast an even more powerful spell, and everything got out of control, and he found the ghost on my daughter-in-law, and thought that she had been killed by a ghost, and directly attacked her with a spell. My daughter-in-law was forced to defend herself and fought a big battle with him!"
Zheng Banying said helplessly: "But my lord, you know that it is all a misunderstanding, all this is a misunderstanding!"
Wang Qilin said with a smile: "It turned out that it was all a misunderstanding, then you take me to see your daughter-in-law, I'll see how she is, my family has great powers, maybe I can help your daughter-in-law." ”
Xie Toad Ji sang for the first time: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
They all knew that Zheng Banying's words were false, and Wang Qilin was especially sure.
For the first time, he revealed that Mr. Zu was killed, and normally speaking, Zheng Banying's first reaction should be shock.
However, no, he lightly told a so-called truth.
Secondly, the 'Cheng Fubo' played by the previous Twenty-Eight Residences once told him that when Mr. Zu left their house, he claimed that he was invited to hunt demons and ghosts, but he didn't go to pray for blessings.
So Zheng Banying is lying!
The houses in the General's Mansion are lined up, and Liu's Jiao Niang lives in the deep backyard, and her residence is a small wooden house with a three-story building in front of it and large plane trees on both sides, so even if the sun is high, there is still no light.
The wind is gusting.
However, the General's Mansion was once indeed glorious, and even such a cottage was built exquisitely and beautifully, and now it is even cleaner.
Xu Da nodded and said, "Well, the environment of this place is in line with the temperament of a female ghost." ”
Zheng Banying smiled bitterly: "Please be enlightened, this is exactly the place my daughter-in-law chose by herself." ”
Xie Toad looked at the surrounding environment and nodded: "Immeasurable Tianzun, Xu Ye, you are mistaken, this place seems to be gloomy, but it is a water outlet in the house, Mr. Zheng doesn't know? ”
Wang Qilin was surprised, this is not fooling people, right?
Xie Toad stroked his beard with one hand and pointed to the hut with the other, and said: "We Taoists say that yin is the shape, and the shape has yin, so the old Taoist doesn't want to pretend to be unfathomable. ”
"But where does the yin qi come from?"
He then pointed to the three-storey building and the big plane trees on both sides: "The so-called yin and yang are born together, put in the heavens and the earth, this mountain belongs to yang, the higher the mountain, the more it belongs to the big yang, and the big yang gives birth to the big yin, so the point of extreme yang on the top of the mountain will release yin energy." ”
"It erupted from the mountain and flowed down the mountain. Under normal circumstances, there are mountains and water, and in the process of flowing, once the yin qi encounters water in the low recess, it dissolves in the water and stops advancing, which is called 'boundary water stops'. ”
"Put it in this house, this tall building and the two big trees are the big yang, and the yin qi will slowly flow out from their tops, so where does the yin qi flow? wading in the water, going to the low, this hut happens to be low, and the yin qi is gathered here. ”
As Xie Toad instructed Wang Qilin to observe carefully, he saw that the terrain of this hut was indeed low, and it was surrounded by a low-lying place in the General's Mansion.
Xie Toad said: "There is a particular feng shui here, called dry flowing water, the water that flows down from the main stream, so we can't see the water, and the feng shui family says that one inch higher is the mountain and one inch lower is the water, in fact, these are the yin qi." ”
Wang Qilin said: "It seems that this place is still a blessed land. ”
Xie Toad smiled meaningfully at Zheng Banying and said, "Yes, this is a blessed land, and Mr. Zheng, as the head of the family, doesn't even know?"
Zheng Banying shook his head in horror and said: "I don't know, I think this is a place to raise ghosts, so, so I don't usually come over." ”
He went up and knocked on the door and asked, "Jiao Niang, you can be inside, and Lord Wang, who is listening to the Heavenly Prison, wants to come and see you." ”
After a short silence, a slender and weak voice sounded: "Please wait a while for my father-in-law and all of you, and let the slave family change into clothes to meet the guests." ”
The door of a stick of incense opened, and the Liu family's Jiaoniang, whom Wang Qilin had seen, appeared and welcomed them in.
Her appearance was indeed not very good, her face was pale, her eyes were gloomy, and Wang Qilin could see that there was a faint black qi swaying from side to side on her body.
This is the solid and unstable appearance of ghosts.
Zheng Banying hurriedly called the maid to come in to serve her, and angrily scolded the maid and asked her why she left the room.
The maid was submissive, and Liu's Jiaoniang waved her hand lightly and said: "Don't be angry, the slave family asked her to go out to rest, this place is cold after all, and a daughter's parents can't stay here for a long time." ”
Zheng Banying said distressedly: "Alas, but you are not in good health now, and you need to be taken care of all the time." ”
Liu's Jiao Niang chuckled: "It doesn't matter, as long as the slave family lies down and rests, they don't usually need someone to take care of them." ”
Wang Qilin watched coldly, looking at the demeanor of the two and listening to the words of the two, he felt that everything was normal.
Zheng Banying cares about Liu's Jianniang very much, and Liu's Jianniang is also polite to him.
What a scene of a father and daughter-in-law.
But that's not right!
Wang Qilin still remembered Zheng Banying when she learned that Liu's Jiao Niang was a ghost and Zheng Bushi was going to marry her, and Zheng Banying almost fainted at that time.
Zheng Banying greeted Liu's Jiao Niang a few words, and then told Wang Qilin and the others their intentions.
Hearing the news that her ancestor was dead and dead, Liu's Jiao Niang stood up again in shock: "He died? impossible, the slave family fought against him that day, and he still had the upper hand, how could he suddenly die?"
Looking at her appearance, Wang Qilin recalled what the old man of the Yaojiakou clan said at that time: Mr. Zu said that he went to Fucheng this time to form a good fate, which would be of great benefit to his cultivation, and he had to cultivate first......
So a guess appeared in his heart, and said: "Mr. Zu was killed by you, he wrote a letter before he died, which said that he was killed by your Zheng family, he thought that his cultivation could be further improved, but when he was cultivating, he was killed!"
He stared at Liu's Jiaoniang, and said slowly: "This official once had three chapters of the law with you at that time, if you are harmful, then I can't let you stay in the world anymore if I listen to the heavenly prison, so I'm sorry, you have to follow the official to listen to the heavenly prison!"
Liu's Jiao Niang's body was shocked, she looked at Zheng Banying in fear and said: "The slave family didn't kill him, Lord Mingjian, you can't wronged a good person!"
Zheng Banying was about to speak, but Wang Qilin shouted violently: "You are not Liu's Jiaoniang! What the official said just now was to deceive you, and the official did not have such an agreement with Liu's Jiaoniang! Who are you? Where is Liu's Jiaoniang? Take it for this official!"
Xu Da took out the Burning Wood Divine Knife from the Sumeru mustard seed dragon-shaped pendant in his arms, and then this scene looked Zheng Banying straight in the eye:
A man pulls out a glaive broadsword from his chest!
The Glaive Knife is swung, and flames loom on the blade!
Seeing this flame, the Liu family's Jiao Niang was shocked, she hurriedly retreated to the corner of the wall and shouted: "My lord spares my life, it's not about the slave family, the slave family has not harmed anyone, my lord spares my life!"
Zheng Banying said anxiously: "Lord Wang, you obviously did do such a three-chapter agreement with Jiao Niang, you said that she was not allowed to harm others and then you would not trouble her, you said it!"
Wang Qilin said: "That's right, the official has made it clear just now that the official is cheating her! Now it doesn't matter if there are three chapters of the law, it's not Liu's Jiaoniang!"
Zheng Banying's face changed greatly, his body shook twice, staggered and collapsed on the chair, and shouted: "Lord Wang Mingjian, it is indeed not Liu's Jiaoniang, but Liu's Jiaoniang doesn't know where it went, it left our house!"
"Really, Lord Wang, you can check carefully, I didn't lie to you, Jiao Niang suddenly left my house before the Shangyuan Festival!"
"I'll confess, I'll tell you the truth, our family didn't harm her, our family is all ordinary people, how can we hurt a female ghost who has achieved cultivation? To be honest, our family is afraid of it!"
"But our family has to rely on it, because the government has a deficit in the account, and our family still needs their Liu family's money and assets. ”
"That's why I learned that Jiao Niang suddenly disappeared and only left such a carcass, so I had the idea of finding another female ghost to enter this carcass to replace Jiao Niang's ghost. ”
"But my lord Mingjian, our family really didn't harm Jiao Niang, nor did we harm Mr. Zu, because my family didn't want Mr. Zu to pray for him to pray for blessings and exorcise evil spirits, but to let him come to give Liu Qingyi's body a requiem!"
Xie Toad sneered: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, who are you fooling with this? Do you think it is a very simple thing for this ghost to be attached to a person? No, no, this is a very difficult thing!"
"You said that after you found that there was no ghost in Liu Qingyi's body, you would go to find a monk to change a ghost in this body? This is impossible, if the delay is too long, the blood of the corpse will cool down and the body will stiffen, so that it can no longer be used by other ghosts!"
Zheng Banying said with a sad face: "What Master Xie said is right, but after my family found out that there was no ghost in Liu Qingyi's body, they sent a ghost in as soon as possible!"
"To tell you the truth, we have been offering a ghost in our family all these years, and inside this body is the ghost of my sister Zheng Nuying!"
This message was really unexpected by Wang Qilin.
Zheng Banying continued: "Adults should know that when my father came back from the capital, in addition to bringing gold and silver, he also brought two bulky big stone lions thousands of miles away, why? Because these two stone beasts are divine objects from the Divine Workshop, which have the effect of driving away ghosts and evil spirits, and were used by my father to protect my sister's ghost and prevent her from attracting other demons and monsters to be bullied!"
The girl who shrank in the corner of the wall nodded timidly: "My lord Mingjian, the slave family is indeed the daughter of General Zheng Hong, named Zheng Nuying, if you don't believe that the slave family can tell you everything you know about her life, it involves many old things from decades ago, you ask someone to go to the capital to inquire, you must know that the slave family is not talking nonsense." ”
Zheng Banying said: "My lord, my family has enshrined Sister A's ghost for many years, and I have never thought of harming people and letting her go to other people's bodies. My Zheng family is full of loyalty, and I never dare to do such a bad thing. ”
"This time it was Jiao Niang who left suddenly, and if this corpse is not used, it will be useless, and it can only be buried, so I let my sister possess it. ”
