Chapter 118: Qixia County
Chapter 118 Qixia County.
After crossing the moat and walking through the city gate, what they saw was a prosperous scene, and at this time, the light red of the sky and the liveliness of this Qixia County reflected each other, which made people feel warm in their hearts.
When they got out of the carriage, they found an inn to stay, and Xu Ruoxuan paid a deposit of half a month to the innkeeper.
Since it is an investigation, of course, it can't be like a horse's eye, come and leave, so they feel that they will live here for half a month to see the customs of this Qixia County.
Naturally, we can't forget to examine the achievements of the prefectural ordinance here.
After Xu Ruoxuan paid the deposit and came back, a table of dishes had already been served, they didn't expect that this small place would be so delicious and very distinctive.
"Come on, let's have a drink first, and from then on everyone will work together!" Ye Xing wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so he raised his glass and said.
Everyone else immediately raised their glasses and drank together, and then they all began to taste the exquisite food of Qixia County.
During Ye Xing's meal, a few people at the table were talking about things in a whisper, they thought that the voice was small and others couldn't hear it, but Ye Xing and a few of them who had martial arts heard their words clearly.
"Did you hear, the abandoned Li Mansion in the east of the city was haunted again last night."
"It's not unusual, it's been haunted more than once."
"Alas, the people in the Li Mansion died too miserably, so the people in the Li Mansion have become ghosts, and the souls of the people are not gone!"
"Hey, be quiet, let the others know, and then it will reach the ears of Qin County Ling, and several of us will be killed!"
They talked about it in a whisper, not daring to let other people know, and after Ye Xing and they heard it, they only felt funny, because Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng never believed that there were ghosts in this world.
But after they laughed, they felt that this matter was a little unusual, those people sympathized with the people in the Li Mansion, but they were afraid that they would be known by the Qin County Order here, so there must be something hidden in it.
Ye Xing glanced at everyone, and then hurried to eat, and after they finished eating, Ye Xing led them to his room.
"What do you think of what those people just said?" Ye Xing looked at everyone and asked.
"I don't believe there are ghosts in this world." Ai Fei'er was the first to say, he often haunts at night, so he naturally doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.
Di Xiaojie and Xu Ruoxuan are scholars, they naturally don't believe that there are ghosts in this world, they only know that incivility should not be regarded and incivilized.
However, Xu Ruoxuan said with a smile: "I think what Brother Ye wants to ask is not such a nonsensical question as whether there are ghosts in this world." ”
Ye Xing laughed a few times after listening to Xu Ruoxuan's words, and then said: "That's right, let's not talk about whether there are ghosts in this world, what I care about now is how the people in the Li Mansion died, and what does their death have to do with the Qin County Order of Qixia County?" ”
No one could answer this question because they didn't know either, and they could also see from the conversations of those people that in this Qixia County, no one seemed to dare to talk blatantly about the affairs of the Li Mansion.
Because of the Qin County Order, Ye Xing suddenly became interested in this Qin County Order, who had never met him.
"What are we going to do now?" Hua Zhimeng looked at Ye Xing and asked.
Ye Xing thought for a moment and said, "The easiest way is to find someone to ask." ”
Ai Fei'er glanced at Ye Xing, Ye Xing winked at Ai Fei'er, Ai Fei'er understood, and went downstairs.
But after Ai Fei'er went downstairs, she came to the counter and said to the innkeeper: "Let people send a few jars of good wine to the Tianzi room, hurry up!" As she spoke, she dropped a piece of silver.
When the innkeeper saw the silver, he dared not obey there, so he hurriedly smiled and nodded: "It's easy to say, I'll let Xiao Er give the wine to a few people." ”
Ai Fei'er smiled slightly, and then went straight upstairs.
But not long after Ai Fei'er returned to the room, the shopkeeper came up with two jars of wine, because he couldn't open the door, so he had to shout outside.
Fei Fei opened the door and let the shopkeeper in, and then closed the door again.
Ye Xing took the two jars of wine, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "How long have you been here?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly replied: "I've been urinating here since I was a child!" ”
Ye Xing smiled slightly, and then asked, "Give you a chance to make money, do you want it?" ”
Who doesn't want the opportunity to make money, the shopkeeper was very happy at first, but immediately said: "I never do anything illegal." ”
"Of course it won't be a crime, we just want to ask you a few questions, and if you answer, the ten taels of silver will be yours."
The shopkeeper was happy when he heard it, these ten taels of silver were his salary as a shopkeeper here for a year, and now he can have it by answering a few questions, which is really a simple thing.
Ye Xing saw that the shopkeeper nodded again and again, and began to ask, "Do you know about the matter of the Li Mansion in the east of the city?" ”
After Ye Xing asked, he was about to wait for the shopkeeper to answer, but after the shopkeeper listened to Ye Xing's question, he couldn't say a word, as if he would die if he said that thing.
Ye Xing picked up the silver on the table and said with a smile: "You don't want this silver anymore?" ”
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, and finally said: "A few guest officers, it's not that I don't want this silver, it's not that I don't want to answer your question, it's just that no one dares to mention this matter in the entire breath county, if I say it and be known, I'm afraid my whole family will suffer." ”
Ye Xing saw the shopkeeper say this, so he glanced at Ai Fei'er, Ai Fei'er smiled slightly, then came to the shopkeeper, suddenly stretched out his hand to lift the shopkeeper up, and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, you will suffer now!" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, he didn't expect that a thin person like Ai Fei'er would easily lift himself up, and he saw that Ye Xing and these people were not easy to mess with, so he hurriedly begged for mercy: "As long as you are willing to let go of the small ones and don't wear out the small words, I will say!" ”
Ye Xing nodded, and then Ai Fei'er put down the shopkeeper.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on!" Ye Xing looked at the shopkeeper and asked.
The shopkeeper first steadied himself, and then said mysteriously: "This matter was already three years ago. ”
"Three years ago?" Ye Xing and the others were all so surprised that they interrupted the narration of the shopkeeper, what happened five years ago has become a forbidden thing to talk about in this Qixia County, which is really unbelievable.
And three years later, the Li Mansion is still haunted, which has to be said to be even more strange.
Ye Xing seemed to think that it was too much to interrupt the shopkeeper to speak, so he asked the shopkeeper to continue.
