Chapter 12: Hunting Demons in the Courtyard

The two guards wanted to drive Ning Fu away, but the woman in blue stretched out her hand to stop her, and said lightly: "This person is so serious, you two bring him into the house first, which is right and wrong, it will be clear later." ”

The woman in blue said, and without waiting for the two to answer, she turned around and strode into the house.

Although the two guards were reluctant, they did not dare to disobey the words of the eldest lady, they took Ning Fu to the place where Lord Ding rested, raised their eyes, and saw that the opposite house was undulating, about a dozen or so, and was in the middle of their own room, and the door was all open at this moment, a middle-aged man was sitting in a Taishi chair in the middle, his eyes were like torches, and he was staring at Ning Fu without blinking, Ning Fu saw that the other party's faces were solemn, and he thought that most of the women in blue had already said something, so he got up and walked closer, and was about to speak, the two guards took a step ahead of him and said: " Master, this kid didn't know where he came from, shouting that our house was haunted. ”

Ding Yue waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, the girl came here just now, and she has already told me everything, you two can go down for the time being." ”

The two guards said yes and hurried away.

After the two left, Ding Yue asked, "You said that those two are devils, is there any evidence for this?" ”

Ning Fu then went to Beijing to take the exam, how he passed by the Ghost Valley that day, how he overheard their conversation, 1510 said, only skipped Zhanyun and did not mention it, and finally said: "This matter is what the late student saw with his own eyes and heard with his own ears, and it is true." ”

Most of the guests next to him were squires and ordinary people who came to see him off, and they all said: "My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, be careful so that the two guards hear it." ”

Ding Yue closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "If you slander your entourage like this, Ding could have sent you to the official for disposal, but for the sake of Your Excellency's sincerity, this sin will be recorded first, you should go out of the house, and don't come back in the future." ”

Ning Fu replied unhurriedly: "Late life knows that just a few words can't be convincing. There is a plan to fall down. If I'm wrong, Xiaosheng is at his disposal. ”

Ding Yue was surprised: "What?"

Ning Fu said: "It's tonight, prepare some flesh and blood and put it in the garden, the demon will move when he smells the blood, and if there is meat, he will come, and then he will naturally see it." ”

Ding Yue pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, just do as you say, if you are not right, it is not too late to punish you then, come on," At this point, a domestic servant flashed out next to him, walked to the hall, and bowed upwards to listen to the promise. Ding Yue then asked him to do what Ning Fu said immediately, and the servant agreed, turned around and walked out.

Ding Yue said to the rest of the people in the room: "I have to bother everyone tonight and sit with the old man for a night." ”

The guests all said: "My lord's words are serious. ”

That night, everything was ready, Ding Yue ordered people to remove the lights and other lighting things, and the huge Shangshu Mansion fell into a blurred scene, at this moment there was only a bright moon in the sky, and it also emitted a bright light, shining through the earth.

Everything was the same as usual throughout the night, and when it came to the end of the day, there was still no movement, Ding Yue and the others became impatient, and when they saw that after a while, the sky was about to be bright, and suddenly, they saw two figures in the opposite corner, and two figures appeared in the opposite corner, and these two figures walked all the way from the east to the west, as if they were looking for something. When he arrived at the place of the pig's head and cow's blood, he actually stopped, and then squatted down, as if he was eating meat and drinking blood, but it was far away, and in the dark night, it was not clear from the faces of the two of them.

Ding Yue waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, light a torch for me." ”

When the words fell, there were more than ten torches lit, and the courtyard immediately became brightly lit, Lord Ding led everyone out of the house together, under the reflection of the firelight, the appearance of the two people was extremely clear, it turned out to be the old Fan and Yu Zesheng who fed the horses at home. That old Fan was old, and when he saw such a formation, he was so frightened that his body was weak, and he said in a trembling voice: "Master, the two of us," he was too excited, and halfway through his speech, he couldn't continue the following words.

Ding Yue didn't mean to blame it very much, seeing the pig's head and cow's blood on the ground, there were only traces of turning, but no bite marks, and said with a smile: "You two don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?" ”

Yu Zesheng was still young and had some courage, so he said: "Master, Lao Fan took the eldest lady's leather whip during the day, and planned to go to the pond in front of him to wash it. Lao Fan was knocked on the spot and almost fainted. Thanks to the help of the family next to him, he was carried to the back and treated for a long time, and then he got better. Lao Fan thought that the eldest lady's leather whip had to be retrieved, so he pulled me over to help find it, and he could have waited until the day to come back, but Lao Fan was afraid that the eldest lady would know, so alas. ”

Ding Yue laughed and said: "It's not a big deal to lose the whip, Lao Fan, you just go back, I'll guarantee that the girl is okay." ”
