A Clash of Gods

Following the previous agreement, Qi Feng led five guards to the old house of Qi's house at dusk. There are many houses in the old house, and the accommodation of a few people naturally does not cause any problems.

Yang Ning originally planned to let Qi Feng go to Jingzhou City, directly find the Jiangling Taishou, in the name of Jinyi Shizi, directly ask about the **** of the tax silver, and see if Jingzhou City really sent soldiers to **** the tax silver, but it was just night. Qi Feng will start again the next morning.

Although Qi Feng arrived on time, Qi Cheng did not return on time.

Gu Qinghan stayed in the account room until dusk and was exhausted. She looked at the taxes in the past three years and carefully checked, but she did not find any flaws.

Gu Qinghan knows that such a huge account can be done so meticulously, and it can never be completed in three or two months, otherwise it will never be flawless and there will be no flaws. If these accounts are false, it means that from three years From the beginning, the old house began to record two accounts, one true and one false.

She thought that Jiangling was the backyard of the Qi family, the foundation of the foundation, and the old mansion was the most important thing, and there would be no mistakes. Only then did she find that the old mansion was much more complicated than she thought.

If these accounts are true, then the tax bank has been sent to Beijing as early as a month ago, but why did Hou Fu not even see one or two silvers? The tax silver sent to the capital did not grow wings and disappeared out of thin air. She wanted to ask where the batch of silver was delivered, but Qi Cheng was nowhere to be seen, and Xiao Cui, who was responsible for escorting the tax silver, also followed Qi Cheng. Jingzhou City, without seeing them, naturally cannot trace the roots.

This day and night, I ran on the road, plus I did n’t sleep well last night, and I was busy all day again today. It was really exhausting. With Yang Ning ’s persuasion, I went back to the house first. Bring your luggage and change your own clothes.

Yang Ning is not in a hurry to take a rest. He is also full of doubts about these things happening in his old house. He wants to see how Qi Cheng should explain when he returns.

Waiting for the middle of the night, Qi Cheng never came back, and he felt that things were not simple.

The night was quiet, the autumn moon was like water, walking in the courtyard of the old house, unconsciously or unconsciously. When I looked up, I came to the path not far from the ghost courtyard and looked up. Under the moonlight, the ghost house was quiet and silent, but it was rather gloomy.

Yang Ning thought that it was not a good place, turned around and walked a short distance, stopped, and looked back again.

Wei Dong previously said that this courtyard was haunted, and Yang Ning naturally didn't believe it, but he was also surprised that two people had entered the courtyard one after another, and they both died inexplicably in the end. Is it really because they were scared to death by ghosts?

He was originally a person with great curiosity. If Wei Dong and Gu Qinghan did n’t say the mystery of the ghost courtyard, he might not care. Instead, they both said that the courtyard was weird, do n’t get close, but let it go. He was curious about the ghost house.

He was a brave man. Although he looked at the ghostly courtyard with some hairs in his heart, he vaguely felt that the courtyard where no one was allowed to enter since the old grandfather must be hiding a lot of secrets.

Wei Dong talked about the two dead people, it seems that they all stole into the courtyard after the sound of the flute sounded. If the flute sound is really a lone ghost, but there is no flute sound now, does it mean that the lone ghost Not in the hospital?

He thought about it, but he turned around and groaned slightly, but walked slowly towards the courtyard.

The autumn leaves are bleak, the trees are shaded, the dry vines entwined on the wall are like thousands of venomous snakes entangled, Yang Ning walks to the door, sweeps his eyes through the moonlight, and then listens with his ears, the courtyard is dead and silent sound.

The courtyard wall was actually not high enough. Yang Ning had to turn over the courtyard wall. It was really a breeze. With a little hesitation, Yang Ning walked to the wall and looked around to make sure there was no one. He climbed up to the head of the wall very easily and crouched down to look down on it. I saw that the courtyard was not big. There was a lonely house in the middle and the courtyard was covered with vines.

Under the cold moon, the house looked unusually strange, and it stood in the courtyard in such a dark state. After a gust of wind blew, Yang Ning felt that his back was a bit chilly.

He hesitated for a moment, but in the end he gritted his teeth, pulled out the cold blade in his hand, jumped down the courtyard wall, and fell into the courtyard.

Slowly approaching the past, I saw that the house had collapsed in many places, but the door was covered up, and it was in a state of disrepair, and the door was already rotten.

He held the cold blade in his right hand, and gently pushed the door open with his left hand. The door made a "quack" sound, and everyone heard it. After pushing the door open, there was a smell of old moldy rot inside. It was very unpleasant to enter the nostril. Yang Ning raised his hand and fanned at the tip of his nose and stepped into the house lightly. I saw that there were three rooms in the room, two rooms on the left and the other.

Inside the hall, the arrangement is very simple. In the middle is a table with two chairs on the side and a screen shelf in the corner, but the screen has already rotted. Only the screen shelf is still standing. I do n’t know if this is The materials of the tables and chairs are very good, and they are not spoiled, but they are covered with a layer of dust.

Yang Ning looked around and walked towards the room on the left. The door was pulled up, but there was no lock. When Yang Ning pushed gently, the door was pushed open.

Moonlight came in from the window. Although it was dark at night, the room was dim, but with the afterglow, it could be seen clearly. I saw a small case on the wall opposite the door in the house. There seemed to be something on the case. Yang Ning entered the house and looked inside. There was a wooden couch in the corner of the room. There was no futon on it, but the entire wooden couch was well preserved and not spoiled.

Yang Ning felt strange at this moment.

According to Wei Dong, this yard has been closed as early as a few decades ago, and no one has come in since. If Wei Dong ’s words are true, then the objects in this house will never be down for decades. It may remain so intact, even if the wood of the furniture is really durable, but after entering the house, I did not see a spider web.

He is very clear, Mo said that for decades, even if there was no one in the house for a few years, there must be spider webs everywhere in the house like this, but no one could see a spider web in the hall or in this room. It's abnormal.

I also thought that I just touched the outside table, and the tabletop was indeed covered with a layer of ash, but according to Yang Ning ’s experience, if no one has been cleaning for decades, the dust on the tabletop is definitely a thick layer, but I only felt A layer of light gray, estimated by time, just not cleaned for a few months.

Is there really a ghost in this house? And the ghosts in the house will clean the room by themselves?

Or is Wei Dong lying, in fact, someone in this yard has been coming to clean the dust occasionally?

The furnishings were simple. Yang Ning walked a few steps closer to the desk case facing the door, and found out that it was a dressing table. Immediately thinking of Gu Qinghan said that it seemed that a woman had died before this yard. At this time, she saw the dressing table. I knew that this house had been the woman Gu Guhan said.

He couldn't help but the image of a female ghost with long hair covered in his face, his back was cold, he looked around, took a deep breath, looked closely, and found a dressing box on the dressing table, the box was covered, Unlocked, he held the cold blade in his right hand, extended his left hand, and opened the vanity box.

I saw that the box was not empty, there was a rouge gouache box, a pair of earrings, and a bracelet. Whether it was a bracelet or an earring, the style was quite exquisite, but at first glance it was made of copper, not expensive. Yang Ning thought that the Qi family is a Jiangling family and can live in a separate yard. Of course, this woman is not an ordinary maidservant. She still has some status in the house. It stands to reason that even if there is no gold bracelet, there is at least one silver bracelet, which can be used for dressing boxes. But there is only one copper bracelet, which is not in line with the status of the Qi family.

The rouge gouache has dried up and coagulated into lumps, and nothing else.

Yang Ning gently covered the vanity box, and found that there was a drawer in the middle of the vanity table. When opened gently, there were only two things in it. One was a bronze mirror that could be held in the hand, and the other was wrapped in black silk. Long and slender, at this time, Yang Ning was reluctant to move the bronze mirror. UU reads the book www.uukanshu.com to look at the mirror in this shady house, maybe he will see something unclean from the mirror. .

He picked up the thing wrapped in silk and looked at it very carefully. It should be a very precious thing. When the silk was untied, the things inside were revealed.

Yang Ning's face immediately appeared surprised.

Xiao!

Wrapped in black silk turned out to be a long flute.

In an instant, Yang Ning thought of Wei Dong talking about the flute sound coming out of this yard every year. Could it be that this flute sound came from the long flute?

This long flute is exquisite in workmanship. Although it looks very old, it is clean and free of dust.

"It's a human ...!" Yang Ning whispered to himself. At this moment, he seemed to understand something. In his view, the so-called haunting was nothing more than the death of someone in this yard before, and was banned afterward Entering, for a long time, no one will inevitably appear cold and gloomy. Once everything is mysterious, it will naturally cause a lot of conjecture.

He believes that the person who plays long flute can never be a ghost. It is likely that someone will come here every year, not only to blow flute here, but also to clean the house.

A perennial yard, with a flute from time to time, is no wonder that people are mistaken for ghosts.

Even if the two people who entered through the wall were also killed by the person who played the long flute, after all, when the two people sneaked in through the wall, they all met when the sound of the flute sounded. The person happened to be here, and the two of them bumped into each other before they were brutally attacked.

Yang Ning frowned. If his guess was correct, it was people in this house who were not ghosts. Then a person came to this yard for decades and cleaned the house. When he breaks in, he still has to kill him. Where is this person?

What is his relationship with Jinyi Hou Qi's family?
