Rumors that the ancestral hall is haunted originated from an accident caused by the negligence of one of the guards.

Since Feng Zhiping entered the ancestral hall, Chen Ding transferred a team of government guards to guard the surroundings according to Feng Moxiu's order, but after all, he is not a prisoner, and Chen Ding cannot stay away day and night, plus Feng Zhiping only made a fuss once and then stopped, and stayed quietly in the ancestral hall and never had a moth, so the guards were not so strict as the days went by, and the daily four shifts of sixteen people gradually decreased to three shifts of ten people, two of them were placed at the door of the ancestral hall, and the rest were scattered in the surrounding shadows to prevent assassins from assassins.

The accident happened at midnight one day, Chen Ding went out to run errands and was not in the house that day, and the ten guards on duty at night guarded everyone according to the routine, among which the old brother who monitored the courtyard wall behind the ancestral hall had a bad stomach and couldn't bear it, so he asked the squad leader that night to apply for Gong.

The squad leader saw that he couldn't stand on his feet, and that he had been calm all these days, so he nodded and told him to go and come back quickly.

This old man was obedient, and it took less than a quarter of an hour for him to get together like that, but it so happened that as soon as he walked on the front foot, a shortcut came to him on the back foot.

This little brother is also unlucky, according to the regulations at this time he should not go out, let alone appear in this place, but he got into the bed only to remember that when he helped cook at night, he left his coat in the big kitchen of the outer house, which had just been sent down the monthly money, afraid that someone owed it to Shun, and the rules of the outer house were not as strict as the inner house, so he sneaked out, in order to go back quickly, he chose the shortcut behind the ancestral hall.

The path behind the ancestral hall is not lit at night, if it weren't for Feng Zhiping, no one would come during the day, so although the path was gloomy and terrifying, this benevolent brother was not very afraid, his mind was full of his own silver, and he was tiptoeing against the wall.

Unexpectedly, when he walked to the darkest and most gloomy middle, an accident happened.

A muffled roar suddenly floated overhead, followed by a vague grunt that sounded rather painful.

The little brother was stupid in an instant, he froze in place and barely stood against the wall, he wanted to run but his legs didn't obey the call, he didn't dare to scream if he wanted to, and he couldn't shout.

He didn't dare to take a breath, his ears were held high, he didn't want to listen but couldn't help himself to keep chasing the strange sound, and gradually, he heard more, there were muffled thrashing sounds, there were violent wheezing, and the terrible grinding sound of teeth.

Finally, just as his lungs were about to explode, he erupted, and an inhuman howl broke the silence and resounded through the night sky.

At the same time, the old man who was comfortable was also not far away, one hand raised slightly as if to stop something, and his face in the darkness was pale and desperate.

The matter was quickly suppressed, and the unlucky family was taken away that night, and the unlucky guard, along with all his colleagues that night, was severely reprimanded by Chen Ding, who returned the next day, and heard that he had also received military justice.

And this accident is only temporarily suppressed, it cannot be suppressed forever, especially under the premise that it cannot be extinguished, the unlucky family was released back two days later, keeping in mind the orders of the military masters to keep silent about the events of that night and the subsequent encounters, but his eyes and expressions have said everything, and the heart-rending howl is not only heard by the people present, and the rumors of the haunting of the ancestral hall have spread, and the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes.

Some people say that it is not a ghost at all, but the little master, and it must be that the little young master is mad and happened to let the unlucky guy meet this misunderstanding.

Some people say that it is a ghost, and it has a lot to do with the little young master, otherwise how could the Hou Ye lock the little young master in the ancestral hall?

If it is an ordinary madness, Guan should also be locked in Sanssouci Pavilion, which is the little young master's own courtyard, and some people are watching and waiting, so the little young master must have let the ghost possess him, and he is locked in the ancestral hall to use the yin qi there.

Some people retorted, saying that ghosts are originally evil things, and if you use yin pressure, it is not pressure but feeding.

The refuted person was red-faced, and Balabala forcibly explained that there was a holy relic of the Supreme Sun sealed by the Hou Ye in the ancestral hall, and what was guarded by the heroic spirits of the Feng family for generations, so the yin qi could also suppress evil, plus a bunch of unwilling to eat melon seeds came in and swore to introduce all kinds of "mysterious inductions" when he cleaned the ancestral hall in the past, and the haunted thing of the ancestral hall became more and more evil in the midst of all opinions.

For a while, the ancestral hall became a forbidden place, and the subordinates who were originally responsible for sprinkling and sweeping resigned one after another, and neither a salary increase nor a board could stop their centrifugation.

They would rather be killed by demons than by demons.

The steward naturally couldn't really kill these people, so he could only report it, and the matter was uploaded level by level until he stabbed Xu Bing'an, the big housekeeper, Xu Bing'an also had no choice but to go to Chen Ding and ask what happened that night, whether it was appeasement or hard press, at least he had to know in his heart to make a decision.

Looking for Chen Ding was destined to be fruitless, Xu Bing'an was so angry that he jumped to his feet but had no choice, so he could only turn around and go to Wudingtang, wanting to directly ask his wife what to do.

Sheng Yan has been "diligently cultivating" every night recently, and his face is radiant, but after listening to Xu Bing'an's advice, his bright face has also darkened.

She is not worried about haunting, not to mention that there are no ghosts in the world, even if there are, she has to walk around when she sees the door of the closed house, how dare she come in!

She worries about her son.

Since Feng Zhiping entered the ancestral hall, she will ask about the situation almost every day, sometimes ask Xiao Tao, sometimes listen to Chen Ding's report, and sometimes send Qiao Xiu to the back of the door to look at her eyes and ask a few words, so Feng Zhiping has been looking bad recently, she knows, but she doesn't think about it seriously, thinking that her son has been working too hard recently, and he has been bored for a long time, so he is a little lacking in energy.

Feng Moxiu also assured her that Feng Zhiping would never have a problem, the physique of a martial artist in the Innate Realm was not comparable to ordinary people, not to mention a little hot flashes, even if he threw it into the fire, he couldn't die in a short time, his son's complexion was not good, he just read a book, his handwriting was not an idle book, it took a lot of effort to understand it, and it was too normal to be in good spirits.

But now, she was shaken, no matter whether Chen Ding, Xiao Tao or Qiao Xiu had inquired about the guards, no one had ever told her that her baby son had moaned in pain in the middle of the night, and she was worried about that scene.

Without any delay, she immediately summoned Chen Ding and Xiao Tao.

Xiao Tao was the first to be asked, in the face of the hostess's forced questioning, she kept her agreement with the young master, gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, Sheng Yan was so angry that she slapped her twice, her face was swollen, but she still insisted that she didn't know anything, and Sheng Yan had already found the answer she wanted.

Xiao Tao is a warm and upright girl, if she really doesn't know, she will embellish a lot of things she knows after "I don't know", but this time, she replied only "I don't know" three words, nothing else.

The cold gaze turned to Chen Ding, and when he heard the emotionless word "Chen Ye" in Sheng Zhuan's mouth, Chen Ding understood how angry his wife was, and smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that he couldn't shirk it, so he asked Sheng Jian to let the others retreat, including Xiao Tao, leaving Qiao Xiu alone to wait, and then explained all the things he was concealed.

"You mean, Ping'er has been like this for almost a month?" Sheng Yan Huo Ran got up, grabbed the tea cup next to him and threw it on the ground, "Why didn't you say it earlier! Why didn't you tell me!

Chen Ding's wry smile was even stronger, and he secretly said that she was worthy of the woman that Jianhou fancied, she was usually delicate and lazy and looked very good at talking, and it was really not something that ordinary people could stand when she started to soar, no wonder she could tame Hou Ye obediently.

At the same time, he also secretly lamented that his life was miserable, and Mrs. Sheng rarely got angry, but every time she got angry, someone would be unlucky, and she didn't think that it would be her turn this time.

"Mrs. Hui, it's really gone, and it's really not a big deal. I personally checked it when Shizi first appeared abnormal, and there was indeed no problem with his body, and Shizi Ye also said that he had no problem, and the bitter cry was caused by practice, and the reason was that I asked Hou Ye. I went to ask Hou Ye, but Hou Ye didn't explain the reason, he just said that he didn't care about it and went with the son, so his subordinates didn't have a gift. ”

Raising his eyes and glancing at Sheng Yan, Chen Ding added: "Madam, the Hou Ye and the prince both instructed their subordinates not to tell you about this, for fear that you would worry too much and become ill, they are all kind." Thousands of mistakes are the fault of your subordinates, please only punish the next one, don't blame the Hou Ye and the son. ”

After Chen Ding finished speaking, he knelt on one knee and hung his head to wait.

Sheng Yan laughed emotionlessly, ignored Chen Ding, turned his head and ordered Qiao Xiu: "Go, call that heartless and liverless person!"

Qiao Xiu was ordered to leave, and after a short time, he returned to the main hall with Feng Moxiu.

Feng Moxiu heard Qiao Xiu say the reason on the way, and he was terrible in his heart, and it was even more big when he entered the door to see it together, Sheng Jian was polite to Chen Xianglai, and even the most trusted Qiao Xiu married him, but today he let Chen Ding kneel without even looking at it, obviously really angry.

Sighing secretly, with a smile on his face, Feng Moxiu said as he walked: "Yo Yo Yo, what's the matter, why are you so angry in broad daylight? Is Lao Chen bullying Qiao Xiu? Hey, you don't care about the two of you..."

When he was about to sit down, his butt fell halfway, and Sheng Yan glanced at him coldly: "Let you sit there!"

"Yes, Lao Chen, I am going to accompany you to eat melons and melons today. ”

Feng Moxiu snorted, and stood by honestly, but heard Sheng Yu snort coldly: "Feng Moxiu, tell you, you don't pretend to be stupid here! I want to ask you today, do you have a heart, and whether Ping'er is your own son!"

"What are these words, of course Ping'er is my son..."

"It's your son, you don't care!" Sheng Yan slapped the handrail hard, got up violently and rushed to Feng Moxiu, "You keep saying that you hurt your son, but how do you hurt it?" Do you know that your son hurts?"

"I know, Chen Ding told me, you know the reason, he..."

"Don't talk about your broken book!"

Sheng Yan sprayed Mo Xiu's face and spitted on the stars, holding back tears and hateful voice: "Practice and practice, push everything to practice, what function does practice make people hurt for a month, and it has seizures every night? At the beginning, Ping'er didn't hurt for so long when he first started to stretch his muscles and bones, and he didn't see the broken piles you got bruised, and he didn't see them crying out of pain every day, why are you now out of breath and practicing broken skills, but the more you practice, the more you go back? You got the broken book, did you do the same when you first practiced? and said it was okay?!"

Feng Moxiu was a little stunned, and took a step back to look at Chen Ding: "He still screams pain every night?"

Chen Dingying said: "Yes, but the movement is much smaller, and it's not all painful, sometimes it seems to be very comfortable to hum twice, and sometimes there is the sound of fists and feet, as if I am practicing, I have secretly looked at it a few times and found nothing abnormal, so I didn't report it to you." ”

"Comfortable?"

Feng Moxiu hugged his arm and rubbed his chin gently, and the strange feeling in his heart surged up again, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Sheng Yan was furious, pushed him and cried: "I still want to, I still want to, can you come up with a flower? Now there are rumors outside that Ping'er is evil, I don't believe in any evil, but I know that my son must have something, you go with me right now to take a look, take out all your skills and give me a careful inspection! If my son really has three long and two short, I, I, I will fight with you!"

After Sheng Jian finished speaking, he thought about it, he couldn't fight it himself, so he turned his head and said to Qiao Xiu: "Go, pack your bags!"

"Stop!" Feng Moxiu was startled, and Qiao Xiu asked in surprise, "Why are you packing your bags?

"I'm going back to my parents' house, I'm going to sue my grandfather!

Feng Moxiu suddenly had a toothache, regardless of the struggle, he pressed Sheng Jian hard to make her sit down, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't say no, look at you excited." Be good, don't be so angry, you will hurt your body if you are angry. ”

Sheng Yan suddenly became excited again, and opened his hand: "Ping'er suffers every night, I'm still afraid of hurting my body, as long as he is safe, I can die!"

Feng Moxiu was also angry, pressed her hand on her lap and fixed it, and said solemnly: "What are you saying, the more you say it, the more you don't like it, is it still a bit like a housewife! Tell you that no one will die, you won't be able to him, I know better than you about our son's ability, he is no longer the child who needs you to take care of him and can't see the wind at all, he is already a man!"

Sheng Yu quieted down and wept silently.

Feng Moxiu breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his beloved wife lightly, and said in a slow tone: "Madam, I am a martial artist, I am still a soldier, I have to meet a famous teacher for the guidance of a young man, and I have been galloping on the battlefield for decades before I have laid this family business little by little, and I have become a martial artist with a small reputation." We are a family of military generals, and in the eyes of outsiders, we are a family, but you know that we are nominally a family over there, but in fact we are separated, and the Feng family army also divided me into two, leaving only our own people. ”

"If you want to become a real family, you must have a heritage, Ping'er is my son, is my heir, the reason why I chose him and did not choose the eldest and second was originally because of his identity as a son-in-law, but as he grew up day by day, I liked him more and more, and I was more and more optimistic about him, because he was not an ordinary child, the congenital meridians were defective and ruined his martial arts but sharpened his heart, he has a strong and wise far beyond his age, you just look at the things he has done since he was a child, which time did he make a mistake that exceeded the scale of tolerance between you and me? When did we make a big mistake and not prepare to go to several back roads, so that we can't even scold if we want to?"

Hearing this, Sheng Yu smiled and nodded slightly.

Feng Moxiu patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "Li'er is smart, but her mind is too heavy, and it is really not enough to be exquisite; The two of them are placed in the army, Li'er can be a military advisor, You'er is undoubtedly a pioneer general, the two have their own strengths, but neither is handsome, I Jianhou Mansion military martial arts, so how can I rest assured that I entrust the family business to them? Not to mention that their origins are destined for them to have no chance of being the sons of the world, no matter which one they choose, there will definitely be people who support the other side to jump out and question their orthodox status, and then the people's hearts will be in turmoil, and the family business we have worked so hard to run will be dispersed. ”

Sheng Yan nodded secretly in his heart, did not say anything on his face, wiped the corners of his eyes and asked: "But compared to Ping'er, they are a more suitable choice after all, why are you so optimistic about Ping'er? Don't say that you can predict the prophet and guess that Ping'er will have adventures." ”

"Of course not. Feng Moxiu smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Do you remember when Ping'er was eight years old, he scolded more than a dozen dog minions with his cane?"

"Of course I do. Sheng Yan nodded, recalling and sighing, "I've never seen Ping'er get so angry, and I didn't expect it to be for Xiaotao's stupid girl." If you hadn't stopped him at that time, I would definitely have pulled him back, and the execution would have been handed over to the people below to do, he was a son, and he was only eight years old, how could he see such a bloody scene!"

"Because of this, I am optimistic about him and believe that he can take care of the Feng family. ”

Seeing that his beloved wife was puzzled, Feng Moxiu smiled and said: "There is actually no difference between being the head of the family and being the commander of an army, the level of talent is not as important as it seems, the important thing is to know people and make good use of them, as well as to give grace and power." ”

"There is no all-rounder in the world, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, it is impossible to do everything, especially the superiors, who have experienced everything and do what they want the people below to do? You must know that sometimes it is not a good thing for the boss to be too good, and the people below will be discouraged and depressed, and even think that you are greedy for merit, deliberately suppress them and bury their talents, so that people's hearts will be scattered. ”

"Knowing people and making good use of them, putting the right people in the right position, and then holding the hearts of the people firmly in their hands through grace and power, so that talented people are not too impetuous, so that people with lower talents are not too discouraged, so that loyal people are not too fanatical, and people with floating minds dare not give birth to disobedience, this is what the superior should do. As long as you can grasp these two points, you will be a good commander, and there will be people who believe in you, obey you, and follow you. ”

"I'm optimistic about Ping'er precisely because he shows this potential, he defends Xiao Tao is grace, and personally kills the sin slave is Wei, sparing Mei'er is en, but Mei'er was also beaten is Wei, in the same way, the family members who didn't sit on those sin slaves are En, but driving them out of the house is Wei. I don't know if this kid is intentional or unintentional, but he handled this matter very well, he knows his situation very well, and he does it himself not only for Xiao Tao Liwei but also for himself, don't you see that after that incident, the eyes of the people looking at him have changed? ”

Speaking of this, Feng Moxiu sighed twice: "Only eight years old, he dared to do it himself, he scrapped four by himself, and the remaining nine let Wu Dong take over and fight to death, splashing his bloody eyelids all over his face without blinking, I think if it weren't for his lack of strength, he would definitely have to kill the remaining ones himself! Grandma, I don't have the courage to be as old as him, I deserve to be my species!"

"Did you talk like that!" Sheng Yan patted her husband angrily.

Feng Moxiu smiled, pulled back the topic, and said: "If this matter is put on Li'er, those people will at least die by half, and they will not even be revealed, and they will be dealt with in private; And Ping'er uncovered it, and also pierced the sky, but he could handle it well, the sky was broken but it didn't collapse, it was not easy at his age at the time. As for the effect, you have also seen it, Xiao Tao's girl's face has made you swollen, have you said one more word? Wu Dong was going to commit suicide to apologize, if it weren't for the fact that my hands were almost two feet high, and then I ran out as soon as there was news, and even five times he didn't run as diligently, what kind of people have lost weight in a year, has he defended a sentence and complained a word from beginning to end? The maids in his courtyard are powerful in the whole house, who dares to say that Ping'er doesn't say a word for them to hear, they can chase people at the door and run to the genealogy to scold, you can't talk back, or the roof will be lifted for you, all of them are like yakshas!"

Sheng Yan was finally amused, he couldn't take it if he wanted to, seeing Feng Moxiu looking at him proudly, he was ashamed and annoyed, he bumped his shoulder and turned his back, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and turned around suspiciously.

"Master Hou, why do I think you're changing the subject? I asked you to follow me to see Ping'er, why are you talking about this?"

Feng Moxiu's heart trembled, his face was silent, and he frowned seriously: "Madam, what are you talking about, how can I change the topic? I am tactfully persuading you to change your mentality, don't be as cautious as before, everything is magnified and look serious, the child is older, he needs space, how can you grasp it so tightly and let him grow? We are Jiangmen, he will go to the battlefield with me if there is a war in the future, you are like this now, what will you do in the future, is it difficult to join us?"

Sheng Yan's eyes lit up, and he nodded seriously: "I have no opinion!"

"I have!" Feng Moxiu was crazy, and withered under the angry gaze of his beloved wife, helplessly looked at Qiao Xiu, who couldn't help laughing, and Chen Ding, who buried his head lower, and secretly sighed that he had married a nemesis.

Sheng Yan also felt that he was a little out of shape, and coughed twice: "Just kidding, since the day I met you, I have never seen any strong winds and waves, and if there is a war in the future, you will take away your son, I promise not to write a letter... Well, instead of writing a letter a day, I write one in ten days!"

Burst~

Feng Moxiu couldn't help laughing, and hugged Sheng Yan's face with a headless kiss.

Qiao Xiu directly turned his face away, his shoulders trembled like a sieve, and he looked down at Chen Ding, who seemed to be unresponsive, but the hand on his knee grasped it tighter, and his muscles flared up.

Sheng Yan finally pushed the person away, his face turned red, he bit his lip and kicked Feng Mo Xiu twice, and said angrily: "My son suffers every night, you are still messing around here, are you going to be angry with me?"

After finishing speaking, he was about to get up, Feng Moxiu grabbed her, carefully reflected on the aura in his heart, and asked Chen Ding thoughtfully: "You just said that he has something strange every night, what about during the day?"

Chen Ding recalled it carefully and replied: "There is no daytime, it is all night, generally from the beginning of the hour to the end of the hour, sometimes the early room is a quarter or two hours late. I asked the young master, and the young master said that the night was quiet and his mind was clear, so he worked hard at night, and during the day, except for seeing Niu Chunhan, the rest of the time was spent reading and sleeping. ”

"So regular?" Feng Moxiu narrowed his eyes, feeling more and more strange.

What the hell is the stinky boy doing?

"Do you want to go?" Sheng Yu's eyes were full of threats.

Feng Moxiu came back to his senses, patted her hand comfortingly, and said: "Lao Chen said, he is normal during the day, if he really has a hidden disease, he can't see it now, let's go again at night, and everything will be clear by then." ”

Sheng Jian was right to think about it, but he still couldn't settle down, so he asked Qiao Xiu to order the small kitchen to add two more dishes that Feng Zhiping loved to eat and send them over at night, and Qiao Xiu was stopped by Feng Moxiu before going out.

Xiao Tao has a wound on her face, wait for her to give her some medicine, stay here and finish dinner before leaving. Ping'er's meal was sent by Chen Ding, and he said that Mrs. left Xiaotao to talk and couldn't leave. ”

"Yes. Qiao Xiu responded, secretly saying that if the young master saw Xiao Tao being beaten, he didn't know what would happen.

Feng Moxiu thought for a while, and then said to Chen Ding: "Before sending the meal, you first call Wu Dong and Niu Chunhan to me to watch closely, the young master doesn't know how to report when he is sick, and then I will settle accounts with them!"

Chen Ding raised his head, saw the deep meaning in Hou Ye's eyes, realized something, and retreated with Qiao Xiu in response.
