Chapter 290 Consoling the Undead
The first snow since the beginning of winter fell not long after Emperor Ruishun opened the gate of the imperial city and personally welcomed King Ning into the imperial city.

After the snow fell, both King Ning's army and the people in Shangjing cheered in unison, saying that this was auspiciousness from heaven. Sure enough, even God was on King Ning's side.In the not-too-distant future, the common people of Darui Dynasty will usher in a good day with good weather and good weather.

He Shidao, who originally thought of winning and losing, laughed desolately after the snow fell, and then said: "Pan Mingfeng misled me..."

It's a pity that time cannot be turned back, everything is a foregone conclusion.

It was night, outside the abandoned house of Zhenxihou Mansion in Jiangjun Lane, West City, Shangjing, where it was said that there would be a female ghost crying every [-]th day, a young man and woman in plain clothes ushered in.

Walking in the desolate Jiangjun Lane, with the thin snow underfoot making soft noises, Pei Zimo held a plain white lantern in one hand, and a basket full of incense, wax, paper and other worship objects in the other. Bamboo basket, looked at the green bamboo and said: "Actually, you don't have to accompany me on this journey."

Although this is what he said, in fact Pei Zimo was very pleased that Qingzhu would accompany him back to the abandoned house of Zhenxihou Mansion.

Qingzhu shook her head slightly, looked at Pei Zimo and said softly: "I'm fine with you, it's okay to accompany you for a walk."

In fact, how could Qingzhu be fine? The imperial city has just descended. Although Feifeng School is not the first one, it can be regarded as a new one. In addition to the great achievement when the city was broken, although King Ning has not praised it yet, they themselves have to count it first. Come out for the merits of each person.Princess Anle originally wanted to pull Qingzhu to help, but Qingzhu was worried about Pei Zimo, so she went to meet him first.

After meeting Pei Zimo, he realized that after learning that He Shidao and Ouyang Qing were imprisoned for trial, Pei Zimo would go back to worship to comfort those relatives who died in vain at home.

Qingzhu was worried that Pei Zimo would be too emotionally hurt, so he had to accompany him personally.

Hearing Qingzhu's words, Pei Zimo felt more comforted, looked at Qingzhu and said gratefully: "Thank you very much."

Qingzhu shook his head again, and said softly: "You and I, what kind of thank you words, you have done so many things for me, you don't need me to thank you, I just accompany you back to the house, no matter where you are, it is worth it Thank you? What's more, I should have let your parents and relatives see me."

After Qingzhu figured it out, although the names of the two have not yet been determined, their relationship with each other has gradually become clear.

Qingzhu is not a woman of this era. Although people would think of avoiding suspicion in front of others, they would not be bound by etiquette in the future, so when they speak, they always say what they are thinking about.

After hearing Qingzhu's words, Pei Zimo didn't say anything, but swore in his heart again that he would never disappoint the woman beside him in this life.

Generally speaking, the residences of nobles and ministers convicted of serious crimes by the imperial court will be seized and confiscated by the imperial court, and then rewarded to others.

However, the Zhenxihou Mansion doesn't know whether it was because the reasons for the conviction were too unwarranted, or because too many people died in this house, which made people feel timid, or some other reason. Take Zhenxihou's mansion back to the court or give it to others.

So on the lintel of the mansion in front of me, there is still half a plaque with the words Zhenxihou Mansion, but the other half has disappeared, and it has been destroyed long ago.

Standing at the gate of Zhenxihou's abandoned house, Pei Zimo looked up at the half plaque for a while, then took a deep breath, straightened his plain clothes, and said softly, "Let's go."

As he said that, he walked into the gate of the abandoned Hou Mansion first.

As soon as you walk in, you will see an unusually open yard in front of you. Although the yard is covered with a thin layer of snow, when you step on it, you can feel that your feet are quite stiff, and most of them are paved with stone slabs.

At this time, a gust of cold wind blew by, lifting the corners of their clothes slightly, as if something was entangled around them.Pei Zimo gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the eye circles were already red.

"Back then, the outer courtyard was actually the martial arts arena in our residence, so it was built very spacious. Not only was it very lively during the day, but even at night, there were also servants and generals from the residence practicing martial arts in the front courtyard."

"When I was a child, I also learned spear skills here with my father."

"And here, on the opposite side, there used to be a row of archery targets from near to far. The elder brother held hands here and taught me how to practice arrows. I still remember that the elder brother was the number one archer in the capital. Highly respected by honorable people."

"There used to be a lot of stone locks here, which were used to build strength. At that time, I was small and could only lift the lightest stone lock. Although everyone laughed at me, I was not convinced. Once I hugged the heaviest stone lock. I tried to lift the stone lock, but I tried my best to move it a little bit."

"As soon as the stone lock was moved, Uncle Zhong praised me beside me, saying that the young master is so powerful that he even lifted the heaviest stone lock."

"My mother likes to let someone set up a chair here, sit here and drink tea while watching our brothers practice martial arts with a smile. Occasionally, when the mood comes, she will give us some advice, but we don't like to listen to her. I feel that what comes out of her mouth is a woman's opinion."

"Actually, we were young and ignorant at the time. You must know that my mother was also from a family of generals, and her martial arts skills are almost the same as my father's."

……

As Pei Zimo walked, he pointed to Qing Zhu one by one, his voice was low, the more he spoke, the more he choked up, and finally he couldn't help crying.

"Ah Mo..." Qingzhu looked at Pei Zimo, feeling full of distress in her heart, but couldn't say any words of comfort.

In the disaster of extermination, hundreds of members of the family were beheaded to death. How can the sadness brought about by such a past be healed by simple comfort?Therefore, Qing Zhu could only take the plain white lantern from Pei Zimo's hand with one hand, and hold Pei Zimo's free hand tightly with the other, hoping to relieve him of some pain in this way.

After a long time, Pei Zimo's emotions finally calmed down gradually, and he took Qingzhu along the way again, but this time, he didn't make too many introductions, but the further he walked, the more sad and heavy his heart became.

Along the way, in places that cannot be covered by white snow, dark brown blood that has dried up for a long time can be seen everywhere. Those doors, windows, and pillars are also full of desolation, with traces of swords and swords everywhere, and blood. handprints, shadows, etc.

Not only Pei Zimo, but also Qingzhu's breathing gradually became heavy, and his mood was so depressed that he couldn't breathe.

After walking for more than half an hour, Pei Zimo said in a low voice, "This was originally the ancestral hall of our Pei family."

With that said, Pei Zimo put down the incense candle in his hand, walked into the ruins, and prepared to clear out a place for worship.

At this moment, a woman's fluttering and crying voice was faintly heard in the night.
