Chapter 269: Revenge of the Wronged Soul
At night, lanterns were hung on both sides of the street, sprinkling patches of light, and in front of a deep house, several middle-aged men in ragged clothes stopped and kept looking at the plaque at the gate of the house.
"Is this the place?" asked one of the thin, dark-faced men.
A tall and strong man next to him who was a little fat shook his head, "I don't know, we don't know how to read." β
"What's going on?" a few people next to him became anxious.
"I'm going to ask those people, they should be the guys in this house. The strong man pointed to a few gray-clothed servants sitting at the side door.
"Good. Everyone agreed, and pushed the strong man out.
The strong man was helpless, so he had to grit his teeth and walk forward, and when he got closer, he nodded and smiled: "A few little brothers, ask me for a moment, is this the mansion of Master Yu Jinyu?"
"Who are you? Why do you ask this?" one of the fellows stood up vigilantly, and the other guys behind him also looked at him unkindly.
The strong man smiled and said: "Don't think about it, let's just come over to see, we were originally all contracted by Master Yu to repair the river, and now we have time to enter the city, so we specially look at the courtyard of Master Yu's house to express our gratitude, we don't have to go in, just stand at the door and thank Master Yu." β
"It turns out that the workers below, it's really good that you can have this gratitude, this is the mansion of Lord Yu, but the lord is really not at home, you want to express your gratitude, just say goodbye to the main gate, go back early, food and accommodation in this city are quite expensive." Said the guy who stood up.
"Okay, thank you. β
The strong man thanked him, returned to the side of the road, joined his companions, and bowed to the main gate to thank him.
"These guys are a little grateful. The guy who stood up glanced at it and said to his companion with a smile.
The companion smiled, only one of the guys looked puzzled, thought for a while and said: "No, our master hasn't taken on any projects recently, and he has been busy with the project that happened last year, where did the subordinate workers come from." β
"No, this is also a lie, what's the use?" the guy next to him puzzled.
"It doesn't look like a lie, and besides, it's not about asking for benefits, just leave, it should be a laborer. β
"Are they really the old man's laborers, but something happened to last year's project, and all the laborers are not alreadyβ" The man said in horror.
The leading man also remembered, and hurriedly turned his head to look outside, the street in front of the door was wide, the lights were bright, and there were still shadows of a few laborers.
"No, it's gone so soon. The guy walked out of the side door, looked left and right, there was no one on either end of the street, usually they walk this street, if they want to get to the fork in the road, it takes at least a cup of tea, and now the laborers say that it is gone, it is too weird.
"Isn't it haunted? One of the guys said.
"Don't talk nonsense. β
"Really, I'm not lying to you, I heard that the contractor under the master often has strange laborers visiting his house, but those people left after eating, and the meal was placed on the table without moving, and their family invited several masters to exorcise ghosts, but it was useless. β
As soon as these words came out, several guys were cold and couldn't help but shiver.
"It's not too early, close the door early, someone will call to open it again." One of the fellows suggested, and the others nodded yes and closed the side door together.
In the courtyard of Yu's mansion, several ragged men appeared, looking at the complex courtyard pavilions and wooden buildings, and said with resentment: "These are all built with our hard-earned money, today we must take revenge, I heard that Master Yu loves his only son the most, we will take his son away today." β
"Good. Several other people nodded in agreement, their eyes had turned blood-red, and the whole body was even more black with demonic aura, and a gloomy and turbid aura permeated the air.
The figures of several people gradually faded, fluttered up into the air, flew towards the courtyard in front of them, and arrived in front of an independent small courtyard after a while.
"There are several powerful breaths in it, it should be a cultivator invited by Master Yu, specially to protect his son, you go and lure them away, I will arrest people." The strong man said.
"Good. β
The other people agreed, turned into a few black mist, rushed into the courtyard wall in front of them, and directly penetrated the courtyard wall, and the gloomy and turbid aura suddenly flourished, like a ghostly breath gushing out.
"Bold and evil, he dared to come here to make trouble and eat grandpa's punch. β
"Up. β
"Do it all. β
"You hateful creatures, you're playing for the tiger. A few black mist let out a roar of resentment, mingling with the several cultivators who rushed out in front of him.
Several cultivators are not very high in cultivation, and they do not have a special method to restrain monsters, and they fought loudly for a while, but they did not suppress the monsters.
"What's going on?" said a panicked young man in a small building inside.
"Young master, hide well, don't come out, these are evil. A monk shouted.
"Ah, how did you get here, you damn fellows. The young man in the wooden building screamed and began to run. "You stop the evil spirit, and I will go out the back door to my father. β
"No, beware of an ambush at the back door. The monk shouted to stop him, but was stopped by the monster, and the young man had already run out of the back door of the small building and plunged headlong into a cloud of black mist.
"Ahh
"Haha, this time it's up to you where you're going. The strong man smiled proudly, and the black mist rolled up the young man and flew into the night sky, out of the mansion of Yufu, into the alley, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"It is done, retreat. β
The other monsters greeted and turned into black demonic qi and dissipated.
Several cultivators' faces turned blue with anger, and they roared angrily: "Where to go, leave people behind for me." β
However, chasing out of the mansion, several cultivators jumped on the roof and looked around, but there was no trace of the monster, "Damn, this is troublesome." β
It didn't take long for the entire Yu Mansion to churn, and the eldest lady and several aunts cried miserably, panicking and losing their minds.
The housekeeper sent someone to inform the master, and at the same time informed the White Tigers in the county.
A team of people from the White Tiger team in the county town came, and the captain was called Ma Kaixuan, and he took several members of the cultivators to explore the vicinity of the Yu family, and also asked the people in the house.
was busy until midnight, without any gain, did not find Yu Gongzi, and did not find any trace of the monster, but the words of a few guards attracted Ma Kaixuan's attention.
"Didn't the laborers under Master Yu have been drowned last year? Could it be that the unjust soul came to take revenge and took Yu Gongzi away, so was this Yu Gongzi taken to that place. Ma Kaixuan thought in his heart.
Thinking of the horror of that place, his face turned a little pale, and he instructed the people of the Yu family to return with the team.
"Captain, do we want to check next?" asked a young man with a cross-knife in his mouth, biting a toothpick in his mouth, in a low voice.
"What do you guys think?"
"At this glance, I knew that it was the souls of those laborers who were drowned back then to take revenge, and Yu Gongzi must have been captured and taken to that place. A woman in her thirties dressed in red and looking still charming.
"That place is too dangerous, and if you go there, you will almost die. A middle-aged man next to him said coldly.
"The big guy is scared. The woman in red smiled charmingly and leaned closer.
"I'm afraid, what's terrible, it's a big deal to die, I'm naturally not afraid. The middle-aged man said.
"The last time I said to go to your house, you didn't dare to go home for three days, and you said you weren't afraid. The woman in red said with a smile.
"Well, that's different. β
"No, Sanniang, you went to find a big guy, why don't you come to me, my kung fu in bed is a hundred times better than him. The young man who crossed the knife said angrily.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
Ma Kaixuan reminded: "What about attendance now, do you want to go into the class room to renovate?"
Both the young man and the woman in red were honest.
The old man who had not spoken behind him smiled and said: "Since we have taken this matter, we will definitely not be able to hide it, so it is better to go for a walk overnight tonight and make a scene, and it will be easy to make a mistake later." β
"That's how it should be, or the old grandson is shrewd, then we'll set off in a while and go through the motions. Ma Kaixuan said: "Alas, they are all commanders, and I feel that I have fallen a lot more than before." β
"Who isn't. β
"What can we do about such a master?"
"It's okay like this, no merit and no promotion, but it's safe. β
A few people said, returned to the mansion, prepared their lines, wrote the record, and set off overnight.
In the morning, Master Yu got out of the carriage with weak legs and feet, and when he heard the man's report, his legs were weak on the spot and he fell to the ground.
"Rice bucket, idiot, waste, let you protect the young master, what are you eating?" Yu Jin, who was obese and looked to be fifty years old, scolded.
"When?"
"Back to the master, it's about the right time. The guy said in a panic.
"Why didn't you inform me earlier?" Yu Jin said angrily.
"The little one can't find you. β
Smack-
Yu Jin slapped the guy to the ground, "Bastard, what do you want you to eat, can't you find it?"
"Master, you went to the Qinglou, we don't have the money to go in. β
", do you still need to say it?"
Yu Jin entered the mansion in a huff, asked about the situation of the young master housekeeper, and learned that it was Ma Kaixuan who led the team to search and rescue his son, and the laborer who was suspected of having drowned last year came back to take revenge, he collapsed on the chair in a daze.
"It's over, this Wencheng will definitely not be able to get it back, go and send a reward, send a reward, invite a powerful master to come, how much silver will be completed?"
"Is there no limit to the amount of silver?" said the butler.
"You are stupid, naturally you have to restrict, at most 10,000 taels, go quickly, Ma Kaixuan This guy is the most unreliable, he will definitely return empty-handed for a while, this guy has not caught a monster in the past few years, and rescued a person. Yu Jin gritted his teeth hatefully.
The housekeeper hurriedly went to prepare the paperwork and post the bounty.
At noon, Ma Kaixuan and others really came in from the city gate, with a lot of mud and water stains on their bodies, and some minor injuries, but they didn't see Yu Wencheng.
