Chapter Ninety-Eight Midnight Terror Hong Fuzhong, suspicious and frightened

In the Hong Mansion

At the back door, four subordinates stopped in the door, and at this moment the back door opened, and the soldiers guarding outside could be clearly seen.

These four subordinates are all close servants of Hong Hui's side, and they are also Hong Quan's cronies. After Hong Hui's death, they were summoned by Hong Quan alone and strictly ordered not to contact others. In addition to these four people, there are two maids and a mother-in-law. The movement of these 7 individuals was severely restricted. They were the only people in the Hong Mansion who knew that Hong Hui had passed away, except for the three imperial doctors.

After Hong Hui's death, Hong Hui's living place was listed as a forbidden area, and the only people who could enter and leave it were Hong Quan and Cheng Yang, as well as several imperial doctors and 7 servants who knew about it. In order to prevent leakage of news, Hong Quan will arrange meals to be delivered to Hong Hui's room every day, and the imperial doctor will also prescribe decoctions and regular consultations as usual, so that outsiders will look like Hong Hui is still alive. However, the three imperial doctors were closely guarded by Cheng Younian's personal soldiers, called care, but in fact, they were under house arrest. However, now Cheng Younian is incomparably powerful, and several imperial doctors have no power or power, so they can only endure it, dare to be angry but dare not speak.

In addition, in order to keep it secret, Hong Quan ordered that all things related to Hong Hui should be done by these 7 male and female servants. For example, the matter of carrying ice cubes has always been the responsibility of these four family members.

They came here on time as usual that night, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of the Iceman.

At this moment, several people were muttering under their breath.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"yes, it's long overdue. ”

"Could something have gone wrong on the way?"

"That's bad, the ice cubes are going to be enough every day, if this can't be delivered in time, how can the manager explain it?"

Several people were in a hurry, and the soldier at the door suddenly said, "It's coming!"

A few people looked at it, and a wheelbarrow turned out at the intersection of the street, escorted by two soldiers on each side, and several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this.

The wheels creaked and stopped at the doorway.

"Guys, why are you so late today?"

The soldier on the cart scolded and said, "That kid in the ice shop said he was getting up late, damn." Hurry up and move, don't miss the house. ”

The four of them hurriedly stepped forward to lift the cloth on the car and put the ice cubes into the boxes that had been prepared. These boxes are specially made with spaces and saltpeter inside, which is covered with a damp cloth that absorbs heat when exposed to water and slows down the melting of ice.

The amount of ice stored each day is fixed, and a cart of ice cubes is packed into four boxes, which is just right. The box has a strap on it for easy handling. With the help of several soldiers, the four of them carried the boxes and returned to the house.

It was late at night, and there was no one on the road. The four of them returned all the way to Hong Hui's bedroom.

In the bedroom, Hong Quan and two maids were guarding there.

On the bed, Hong Hui folded his hands on his chest, his face was serene, and his beard and clothes were well organized, neat and dignified. Except that his face was pale and bloodless, his demeanor was no different from that of a living person. There were many half-melted ice cubes stacked around him, and there were several wooden barrels beside the bed, and the two maids used cotton cloth to suck out the ice water on the bed and screw it into the bucket from time to time. So much ice makes the whole room very cool.

Hong Quan sat on the side, just staring blankly, with a sad expression. Although it has been so long, Hong Quan still has not escaped from his grief, and the relationship between the master and servant can be seen.

Four subordinates came in with ice boxes on their backs, and Hong Quan came back to his senses. He looked at the hourglass on the side, frowned, and said, "Why is it so late today?"

The leader's cronie is named Li Wang, and he quickly opened his mouth to explain, and Hong Quan nodded: "Hurry up and replace the ice cubes." ”

The four of them immediately took out the remaining ice, and then placed the new ice neatly around Hong Hui. One box is used up in one circle, and the remaining three boxes are replaced when the ice cubes melt away, so that the four boxes of ice cubes are used up, just in time for the next ice transport.

After all this, it has been about four days. Hong Quan yawned, beckoned to the two maids, and the three of them left. There were only seven of them who could enter and leave the place, and the seven of them were divided into two shifts and took turns guarding here, and the four men were strong and energetic, so they kept watch for the rest of the night.

The hourglass gradually drained out, Li Wang turned it upside down, and the hourglass sprinkled fine sand down again. Time flowed slowly with the fine sand, the four of them were bored, and gradually became sleepy, Li Wang let the other three sleep for a while, and washed his face with the ice water in the bucket, and his spirit couldn't help but be shocked.

Recently, the four of them have been busy, coupled with the urgent situation in the house, the spirit is highly tense, although they can take turns to rest during the day, but the mental fatigue is difficult to recover. Every night, the four of them would take turns to take a nap, anyway, there were officers and soldiers outside, and no one could get in, so there was no need for all four of them to do nothing with their eyes open.

Li Wang was frozen by the ice water, and he didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he stood up when he was tired of sitting at the moment.

Looking at the three companions, Sun Dachang was lying on a chair on his side, with his back and his sleeping posture was very indecent. Zhou Xing and Wang Fu leaned against the wall with chairs and tilted their heads to sleep. Li Wang shook his head, set off to add lamp oil to the oil lamp, picked the wick, and felt that his body was tired, so he moved a few times.

Just then, there was a sudden hissing sound on the bed.

It was already late at night, and in the dead of night, there was no sound, and this hissing sound was especially real. Li Wang immediately set his eyes in the direction of the bed.

The hiss was staccato and staccato, like a person inhaling through his mouth. Li Wang's heart instantly lifted.

Lying on the bed was the body of the national pillar, and to put it irreverently, it was a dead body. The dead corpse inhales, is it a deception?

Li Wang's face turned white with a brush.

He only felt his legs tremble and his body went limp. Fortunately, it was not just him in the house, Li Wang seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and he took a step to Sun Dachang, who was closest to him. His legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground with this step.

"Dachang, wake up!" Li Wang didn't dare to raise his voice, grabbed Sun Dachang's arm and shook it violently.

Originally, Sun Dachang had just fallen asleep and was not asleep, but he suddenly woke up after Li Wang's shake.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at Li Wang with a confused expression, and said, "What's wrong?"

Li Wang raised a finger and said, "Shhh, don't speak, you listen." ”

Sun Dachang shook his head, sobered up, held his breath and listened, and a hissing sound came clearly into his ears.

"What sound?" Sun Dachang was also taken aback when he looked for prestige.

Li Wang said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that Guozhu deceived the corpse?"

Sun Dachang is five big and three thick, and his courage is much greater than Li Wang's, he lowered his body and said, "Don't talk nonsense." Just check it out. He stood up and went over.

Li Wang grabbed his arm, shook it heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful." ”

Sun Dachang nodded, grabbed Li Wang with his backhand and said, "Let's go over together." ”

"Huh?" Before Li Wang could react, Sun Dachang had already pulled him and strode forward.

Li Wang couldn't help himself, and he was almost dragged to the bed, he was one

His arm was pulled by Sun Dachang, unable to move, so he could only raise it with his other hand to block it in front of him, and he didn't dare to look at the bed.

"Huh, Li Wang, look at it!

Sun Dachang's voice came from his ears, Li Wang's heart trembled, and then he reacted, he hesitated to take his arm away, and looked at it, only to see that a piece of ice on the bed was emitting a faint white light, accompanied by a hissing sound, just like the ice surface was suddenly heated, and one small word after another appeared on the ice surface one by one, just like a sketch.

What the hell is this?

In the middle of the night, on the bed lying on the body of the national pillar, a block of ice was displayed in the air, which was simply sensational.

Li Wang was half frightened to death by this scene, his brain seemed to have stopped running, and a thought could not be suppressed in his mind.

Isn't it the ghost of the national pillar haunting here?

Sun Dachang was illiterate, scratched his head and asked, "What is written on it?"

When Li Wang heard his question, he couldn't help but be stunned, and instantly came to his senses, he jumped up, and looked at Sun Dachang as if he was looking at a monster: "Why are your nerves so big? Hell, do you know? Live to hell! This is nonsense, this is ......?"

Li Wang turned his head and pointed to the words on the ice, and suddenly froze.

Sun Dachang touched the back of his head and said, "What's wrong?"

Li Wang looked at the words on the ice, his eyes full of horror.

Zhou Xing and Wang Fu were also woken up by the movement of the two people, and the two of them came over muttering.

Zhou Xing patted Sun Dachang on the shoulder and asked, "Dachang, what's wrong?"

Sun Dachang pointed to the bed, and said angrily: "There are words on the ice." ”

Zhou Xing went to private school for a few years when he was a child, and he was also literate and hyphenation, and when he came over, all the words on the ice had been written, so he didn't see the spectacle of Pingkong words, but the ice had already been engraved, and they hadn't found it before.

Li Wang turned his back to a few people, and Zhou Xing didn't see Li Wang's expression.

Zhou Xing probed, looked at the words on the ice and subconsciously read: "Cheng Yang and the others, if you want to kill you and others, if you want to live, when the back door is connected to the ice tomorrow night, you will break out of the house, and someone will answer." ”

As soon as he finished reading the words, Zhou Xing was stunned, and his brain, which was still a little confused, instantly sobered up.

Not only Zhou Xing was stunned, but Wang Fu and Sun Dachang also showed shocked looks.

For a moment, the room fell silent again.

Half an hour later, the four of them sat down in their chairs with their heads bored, looking at each other, each with a deep solemnity in their eyes.

"Do you think what Bing said is true?" Zhou Xing was the first to ask.

He was answered by a dead silence.

Li Wang stretched out his hand and rubbed his brows, to be honest, after he saw that text, his heart felt like he had been hit by a hammer, and then he was enveloped by an indescribable fear.

Li Wang and they are not fools, Hong Hui is dead, but Cheng Younian, Yang Yunxiu and Hong Quan have been trying their best to hide this fact, and the dignified Marshal's Mansion is actually surrounded by layers, and even Hong Quan is restricted from going out. Needless to say, they must be working on some ulterior plan. So as the person who knows this secret, what will happen to Li Wang, this has always been a worry that haunts the hearts of several people, but they dare not touch and imagine. Now, with a bizarre incident, the long-standing worries have finally been revealed, and ** naked in front of four people.

Outside the window, the night is gloomy, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, it should be a clear night. But the room seemed to be filled with a thick fog of sorrow, and it was lifeless.
