Chapter 439: The Road is Dangerous
Chapter 439: The Road is Dangerous.
Autumn has only one tail left, and the trees on both sides of the road have withered, and some of the birds don't want to come.
Ye Xing and the others hurried to the capital, and the cold wind howled along the way, but it couldn't stop their trip.
The road to Beijing is far away, if it is a fast horse, it will take half a month, but they have women, and Ye Xing is not very good at riding horses so far, so it will take a month to get to the capital by carriage.
By the time they arrived in the capital, it would be early winter.
At that time, I don't know if the weather in Jinling will be very cold or if it will snow this year.
The fallen leaves were scattered, and a few dead leaves fell on the roof of the carriage, and the carriage sped up, and the dead leaves were blown down by the wind, and finally turned into mud and dust.
At noon on this day, Ye Xing and a few of them came to this prosperous town to eat, the name of the town is Roadview Town, Roadview Town is not small, there are a lot of people, Ye Xing They have experienced a few days of wind and dust, today they were able to find a place to rest and eat, the mood is naturally very pleasant, happy they forgot the danger that may occur at any time for a while.
On the bustling streets of Roadview Town, there is an inn that looks very lively, Ye Xing and the others want to eat, so they naturally want to find an inn, but they are just eating, and they have no intention of staying for one night.
After the wine and food were served, Ye Xing and the others devoured it, who made them too hungry, eating dry food and roasted game in the past few days, making them feel dry and panicked.
After a few of them finished eating, they asked for another cup of tea and sat down to taste it slowly, and Xu Ruoxuan even asked the inn to wrap dozens of Mantian and a few catties of beef for them to eat on the road.
But while the few of them were drinking tea, a few people at the next table were muttering things that seemed to be secret, but they wanted people to know.
It is not difficult to see that the person who is talking has a very strong desire to express, he knows that what he is saying is very hidden, but he still wants to say it loudly so that more people can hear it.
"Have you heard, our Zheng Yuanwai house here is haunted, oops, it's so noisy!"
After the man finished speaking, the rest of the people asked curiously: "Zheng Yuan's family has a lot of money, how can it be haunted?" ”
"You don't know this, who said that if a person has money, his home will not be haunted, maybe this ghost will not be haunted even if he has a fancy for his family's money!"
Everyone burst into laughter, as if they didn't take this matter seriously at all, or they didn't have a relationship with that Zheng Yuanwai, but just regarded Zheng Yuanwai's house as a topic of conversation and laughter. But at this time, one person asked puzzledly: "You only said that Zheng Yuan's house is haunted, but what kind of trouble is this, you can tell us all!" ”
When the person who started saw this, he said seriously: "This thing, it is strange to say, every full moon night, Zheng Yuanwai's house will let out a burst of miserable crying, that cry makes people panic, but Zheng Yuanwai sent people to search inside and out, but there is no shadow of anyone at all, you say this is strange!" ”
After the man finished speaking, everyone's bodies shivered with coldness, as if the weather was too cold in this autumn and winter.
Just when everyone's hearts were palpitating, one person suddenly said jokingly: "What's so strange about this, it's originally haunted, how can you find a human figure, I think you should let Zheng Yuan find a few Taoist mages to take a look, maybe you can catch ghosts!" ”
The crowd laughed again, and then they gave examples of how to catch them, how to catch them, and so on, but while they were talking, they all suddenly stopped, as if they had seen the ghost they were talking about.
But at this time it was broad daylight, even if they saw a ghost, it was impossible for them to stop suddenly, Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng and a few of them were listening energetically, and suddenly saw that those people didn't say anything, so they looked around curiously, and then they saw that there was a person standing at the door of the inn at this time, the person's age was not young, it seemed that he was forty or fifty years old, and the person's face was very ugly at this time, and with his somewhat old and somewhat ugly appearance, it was even more ugly.
The man stood at the door for a moment, and the people in the inn didn't dare to say any more, Ye Xing and the others guessed that this person was the Zheng Yuanwai that those people just said, although this Zheng Yuan's foreign minister was ugly and old, but he was extremely particular about his dress, not to mention how expensive his clothes were, just looking at the hat on his head, it could be seen.
At this time in autumn and winter, it is understandable to wear a hat, but the hat outside Zheng Yuanwai is not used to keep out the cold, just for clothing, the hat is thin, and there are a lot of luminous ornaments on it.
After Ye Xing, Hua Zhimeng and the others observed, they didn't say anything, they wanted to see how this Zheng Yuanwai handled this matter, maybe this inn was about to put on a good show!
I saw that Zheng Yuanwai came to those people, and said with an unnatural smile: "I heard a few people just now say that they want to help me catch ghosts?" ”
Those people were a little scared, and even worse, they kept shaking their heads: "No, no! ”
Zheng Yuanwai smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the haunting of my Zheng Mansion is something that everyone in the town knows, I was going to use your suggestion just now today to find a Taoist priest to catch ghosts, do you have any good suggestions?" ”
When those people heard Zheng Yuanwai say this, the hearts that had been hanging just now finally let go, and those who said just now that they wanted to find a Taoist priest to catch ghosts hurriedly made suggestions.
"I heard that the master of Zhaoruo Temple can catch ghosts, Zheng Yuanwai can invite them to try it at home!"
"The Chongxu Daoist not far away is also very powerful, and he is also good at catching ghosts!"
Everyone said a word, but Zheng Yuanwai just listened very calmly, just when they were arguing, Zheng Yuanwai suddenly slapped the table, and said a little angrily: "Since you are so capable, please invite them to your house to catch ghosts, there is a haunted ghost in my house, it is clear that someone wants to frame me, you people don't know the reason, chewing your tongue here, it is really unreasonable!" ”
The change in Zheng Yuanwai was amazing, not only those who were tongue-talking, but even Ye Xing, Hua Zhimeng and others felt that the change in Zheng Yuanwai had no warning.
However, at this time, Ye Xing and the others had already understood that Zheng Yuanwai hated these people at all just now, but he was looking for an opportunity to reprimand them.
However, it can be heard from Zheng Yuanwai's words that he is still a relatively wise person and knows that there are no ghosts in this world, and the so-called haunting in his house is just someone framing him.
When things got here, Ye Xing, Hua Zhimeng and the others found this matter very interesting.
