Chapter 230 pretending to be a ghost
Let the confidant housekeeper go out and send someone to look at Master Cheng sent by Shuxian Zun. Hu Songqi sat alone in the room, pressing hard on the eyebrows that had already had several deep lines. ※%※%,
Because of his father's merits, he once had a favor with the Jinyiwei Qianhu, and was on par with his elder brother who had made military achievements. However, none of his family inherited Hu Zongxian's ability to be civil and military, and no one could pass the imperial examination, so none of his three sons passed the imperial examination. Now, this trend has been deeply reflected in his two sons. Even if he whipped them every day, he did not see much qualifications for studying. Moreover, his personality was cowardly and incompetent. He was full of anger every time he looked at him. If not, could he have to look at Shu Bangru's face?
At this moment, he did not reflect on his own efforts to be able to care about himself in times of crisis, and then he competed for family property with his third brother Hu Boqi, so that his brothers were disinterested and the villagers were even more despised. He only felt that he was really unhappy, and he felt that his father was really worth dying at the beginning. If he could grit his teeth and hold on in the prison for a while, there might be a turning point, and he would not have fallen to this point.
At this moment, Hu Songqi vaguely heard a rustling sound. He thought that some servant was brave and unreported, but he looked around and there was no movement. When his eyes fell on the window, his pupils suddenly shrank. He clearly saw that it was clearly outside the dark window, and at this moment, there seemed to be a flame beating, reflecting a small figure.
In a moment, a hand pressed on the window corner. The most important thing is that the hand looked very small and some baby fat poked the window paper like playing. In a short while, the window paper was poked holes one by one! He was almost sure that he had absolutely no such courageous person at home, and a chill suddenly burst into his heart.
Just when his teeth were creaking and he wanted to shout loudly, he suddenly heard a chuckle. But the laughter of such a little girl who was vaguely familiar made his hair almost stand up.
It's impossible... His two sisters who were very pampered by their fathers, one died of shame and anger, while the other disappeared after climbing over the wall and running away. He must have died long ago!
He suddenly came to his senses and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come, come quickly! Go and see who is pretending to be a ghost!"
"You will be retribution if you are not filial and unkind and unkind!"
This sinister voice came into the room. Although Hu Songqi could clearly hear his family running to the backyard, he didn't even feel safe at all. Especially when a girl rushed into his room and said something stammeringly, he stood up and then fell down.
"Master, there is no one in the backyard. There is only a fire in the middle of the yard."
Seeing Hu Songqi's face pale, the girl swallowed hard and whispered: "There are footprints next to the fire, but the footprints are shallow, and it looks like they are the footprints of a child."
This time, Hu Songqi almost didn't slide down from the chair. He swallowed hard, then took a deep breath, and roared angrily: "Someone must be pretending to be a ghost, check it for me, check it carefully!"
Among the servants in the family, there were also young people. Maybe someone was instigated to deliberately scare him! At this moment, Hu Songqi didn't think about it at all. It was not something that ordinary people could do.
The chaos in the Hu family's backyard naturally affected the Cheng Gong in the guest room in the front yard. He called the close servant out to see what was going on, but the Hu family politely invited him back, saying that things were broken in the backyard, so there was no need to pay attention to the small riots. But for Cheng Wenlie, who was once a senior litigant who once crossed the street and hid in Tibet, and now finally caught the life-saving straw of Shu Bangru, the magistrate of Jixi County, he would not believe such a ghost saying. After the scholars came to visit today, he became more cautious and sent a servant to spy on the movement. As a result, the man came back to report that he had seen a young scholar who looked very much like Wang Fulin.
He is almost afraid of Wang's fear now. You know, he has not lost a lawsuit in his life, but the one who has lost the worst is at the hands of Wang Fulin, a young scholar who is less than fifteen years old! The only thing that is thankful is that he is now a Shubangru person, in fact...
He said in a deep voice to the servant Shu Bangru gave him: "You have to send a letter to Shuxian. If Wang Fulin also comes, you have to speed up this matter. Otherwise, relying solely on the friendship between Wang Daokun and Hu Zongxian, the wishful thinking will be over!"
In the night, Xiaobei, who was pretending to be a ghost, quietly turned into the place where she stayed and touched her house with her hands and feet. She carefully pushed the door and found that the room was pitch black. Obviously no one had come. She couldn't help but feel relieved. She didn't light the lights at the moment, and walked towards the bed based on her previous memory. But before she could even walk to the bed that was quite soft in her impression, she heard a voice.
"Is the Hu family fun?"
Xiaobei almost jumped up in fear. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw that there was indeed a person sitting on the chair, and the sound was clearly Wang Fulin. She became angry just now. She stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "It's three o'clock in the middle of the night, it's very scary, do you know? What if I was scared by you just screaming?"
"If you are the kind of lady who screams when you hear something, you won't run out at night." Wang Fulin responded unhappily, and then reminded helplessly, "I went to see three people over there in the evening. They also asked you, "I said you were tired from riding a horse and went to bed first. Fortunately, they didn't come to knock on the door, otherwise they would find that the door was covered but disappeared. How can I explain? Tell me, what did you do when you went to the Hu family?"
Although she had known that Wang Fulin had sharp teeth and sharp mouths for a long time, Xiaobei just snorted softly at this moment. She also knew that she was very anxious. However, it had been more than half a year since she came to Longchuan. Now that her father might be able to cleanse her reputation, how could she not explore Hu Songqi's reaction? She sat down on another chair and then asked on purpose: "Guess who else did I meet in addition to my second brother tonight?"
Wang Fulin had no resistance to guess who this game was. You know, it was already an accident when he met Wang Yingjiao and the other two. Now the Hu family has others, which was even more surprising. He stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Hu Songqi closed the door to thank the guests. Even ordinary passers-by know that it is obvious how famous he is in evading things. He should be a person who is important... Has anyone promised to overturn the case for Hu Butang?"
Xiaobei suddenly felt that the boss was boring: "You can guess this."
After getting affirmation, Wang Fulin suddenly became more energetic: "And you ask me in this tone. Obviously, this person should be someone we know or familiar with. Most of the people I am not familiar with from Jixi from officialdom to Shilin, but the only person has had several dealings, and he is also unforgettable to me. Shubangru... No, he, like Ye County Zun, cannot leave the county town casually. It is not him, but his special envoy. I should be right?"
"You are so thief!" Xiaobei was convinced, but said unforgivable, "It's his master who came. Can you guess who it is?"
"Oh, Shuxian Zun Lian has a master?" Wang Fulin blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and finally spread his hands, saying helplessly, "He used to be a prosecutor in the government office, but he didn't have a master around him. Now he has such an extra person to take office in Jixi. It should be accepted later. It is possible for locals or foreigners, so I can't guess."
"I thought you were so powerful, but there were times when I couldn't guess it!" Xiaobei laughed, but when Wang Fulin asked who it was, she opened her mouth. Thinking that she only remembered that she was decorating a magical decor in the Hu family and forgot to go to the guest room to find out the truth, she felt guilty, "Anyway, I heard my second brother call him Master Cheng, I don't know who it is. It seems that the accent is not from Jixi or She County."
Although there are only two clues about the surname Cheng, not Jixi or Shexian people, Wang Fulin couldn't help but make a guess. It was not Cheng Wenlie who was successful at the time and was immediately lost after being confessed by Zhao Sicheng? It is very likely that as a senior litigant, he was very familiar with Shu Bangru, who was in charge of criminal name at the time. Afterwards, the two became marginal figures, and the other was beaten and killed by others, and they joined together. This made sense. Without Xiaobei's statement, Shu Bangru's plan could also be guessed. He had to admit that this former Shu Tui official still had the courage to fight hard.
"Okay, it's hard for you to go there in the middle of the night. Go to bed early, maybe there's still something to do tomorrow."
Seeing Wang Fulin stand up and walk out, Xiaobei suddenly asked in a strange way: "Hey, don't you ask me what else I did when I went to the Hu family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Fulin immediately paused. He turned around in shock, then quickly walked to Xiaobei. After a while, he asked in a very uneasy tone, "Did you order the Hu family's house, or do you pretend to be your old man to appear?"
He really couldn't calm down. After this little girl found out such important information, she still had the intention to decorate the Hu family?
"That's my house, that's my dad, who do you think of me!" Xiaobei fought back in anger, and then said angrily, "I lit a pile of fire in the middle of the backyard, and then used bone shrinkage technique to pretend to be a ghost and scared my second brother!"
Finally, it was a blessing in disgrace!
