Chapter 796: Ghost Hunting at Night
Chapter 796: Ghost Hunting at Night.
In the evening, the temperature dropped slightly, and Ye Xing and the others had already rested enough.
After some preparations, Dugu Cai sent Tie Rong to lead Ye Xing and them to the construction site where the palace was built to check.
For the Forbidden City under construction, Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng and others are full of expectations, Hua Zhimeng is an actor, and he is an actor who is popular with half the sky, so she naturally runs around filming everywhere, and the Forbidden City in Beijing is a common filming location for costume court dramas, and she has been here a few times.
At this time, the Forbidden City did not see the scale, but the city gate was built, because the construction of the Forbidden City requires soil, if it is transported to a distance, it is too time-consuming, so throughout the ages, when the capital is built, the scope of the capital is encircled, and a large pit is dug around the capital, and the excavated soil is used to build the capital, and after the big pit is dug into the river, it becomes a moat.
The moat can not only defend against foreign enemies, but also serve as a way to transport materials for the construction of the capital by water, so the role of the moat in the construction of the capital cannot be underestimated.
Crossing the moat, Ye Xing and the others saw several majestic city gates, more than a dozen guards guarded at the city gates, which was daunting, and the iron Rong had the token of Dugucai, so the passage was unimpeded.
After entering the construction site, Tie Rong immediately led Ye Xing and the others to meet Pingjiang Bo Chen Gui, he was a specific and complex person who built the capital, what he needed to buy, how to plan, etc., he had to personally participate.
Chen Gui is only in the prime of life at this time, although his appearance is not very handsome, but he also has a bit of manly charm, he has always asked the Ming King Ye Xing's Daming, and now after seeing it, he has to compliment a few words.
After just a few compliments, what they have to do is something specific and important.
Ye Xing looked at Chen Gui and asked, "How many workers are there on the construction site now?" ”
Chen Gui sighed and said, "There are about seventy or eighty thousand people, and these people's daily food and accommodation are all problems, but fortunately, it is the height of summer, and you can sleep with a mat on the construction site." ”
Ye Xing was not surprised by this number, this is just the beginning, in the end, I am afraid that no less than 300,000 people will be used, but now that the Ming country is rich and strong, it still has the ability to requisition 300,000 people to do such a planned and beneficial thing.
Ye Xing learned from Chen Gui's words that these migrant workers now live at the construction site and have never left, and there have always been guards at the city gate, if the haunted person came in from outside, his martial arts must not be weak, otherwise those guards would not have found out.
If the haunted people didn't come in from outside, then the people on the construction site were the most suspicious.
In order to be able to understand the situation better, Ye Xing asked Chen Gui to recruit the migrant worker who saw the ghost for the first time, the migrant worker was not very strong, a little thin, and his face was not very good, I don't know if it was because he was under the ghost, according to Chen Gui told Ye Xing, this migrant worker is called Dabao.
This name is really ordinary, Ye Xing looked at Dabao and asked, "Did you really see a ghost that night?" ”
This ghost word seems to have magical power, and after Dabao heard this word, he was trembling with fright, but it was Ye Xing who asked him after all, so he still replied: "When ...... Of course, that ...... The ghost was so scary, with a disheveled head and a long tongue, I think he must have hanged himself before he died. ”
The appearance of the ghost described by Dabao is also very common, almost all people who pretend to be ghosts are this virtue, and Dabao suspects that the ghost is a hanged ghost, Ye Xing looked at Dabao and smiled coldly, and then asked: "Then you saw that the hanged ghost was not caught by the ghost, you are really lucky!" ”
Dabao's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "That ghost waved his claws to pounce on me, and I was so scared that I ran away without even peeing, which is considered lucky!" ”
At this time, a person really can't worry too much about his own face.
Ye Xing looked at Dabao, smiled secretly, and then continued to ask: "That ghost is so powerful, why didn't he even catch up with him, can you be sure it's a ghost?" ”
Dabao nodded again and again: "I can be sure, it must be a ghost, as for the ghost didn't catch up with me, maybe I ran fast enough!" ”
At this time, Dabao looked at Ye Xing and the others, and he seemed to think that Ye Xing and the others didn't believe him, so he hurriedly said: "What I said is true, I really saw a ghost." ”
As soon as Dabao finished saying this, Tie Rong suddenly asked sharply: "Since you said that you really saw a ghost, why did you only say that you saw a ghost when we came to ask you, but you didn't say that the ghost pounced on you with teeth and claws?" ”
Dabao seemed to be a little embarrassed and said, "You guys...... If you don't ask me, how can I answer? ”
After Ye Xing listened to Dabao's words, he smiled slightly and said, "Seeing that your body is very weak, are you still comfortable doing it here?" ”
Everyone didn't understand why Ye Xing suddenly asked Dabao this question, Dabao seemed to be a little moved, and hurriedly said, "I'...... Although I am weak, I can ...... But it can also be adapted. ”
From Dabao's tone, everyone could hear that he was not suitable at all, how could a weak person withstand such a strenuous work.
As soon as Dabao finished speaking, Ye Xing suddenly scolded: "Since you are used to life here, why are you pretending to be a ghost and fooling everyone?" ”
Ye Xing's loud shout even surprised Hua Zhimeng, why did Ye Xing suddenly say that the haunted things here were all done by Dabao?
Dabao was screamed by Ye Xing, as if he had lost something, he suddenly knelt down, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, spare my life, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare!" ”
Everyone saw Dabao like this, and they were even more strange, why was he so frightened by Ye Xing, so he confessed everything?
Ye Xing smiled coldly and said: "There are no ghosts in this world at all, and you can see ghosts there, if someone pretends to be a ghost to make trouble, how can they keep you alive, although there is a suspicion of letting you spread it everywhere, but if you are questioned carefully, you can also find out that the ghost is fake, and more importantly, if someone really pretends to be a ghost and meets someone like you, they don't make a fool of you, and make this haunted incident more like, through this kind of thing, I have already guessed that this is your personal speculation, in order to verify, I asked you again if the ghost had caught you, and your eyes were in a trance, and you quickly admitted that the ghost pounced on you, but why didn't you say these words to Master Tie before? ”
After Ye Xing's deliberation and words, everyone suddenly repented, it turned out that the haunted thing on the construction site of the capital was just Dabao's nonsense, but why did he do this?
This is something that everyone does not understand.
