There was a naked man hanging upside down in the stone house. His body was cut with knives that were more than an inch deep. The blood all over his body flowed into the big urn on the ground. "Tick-tock...tick-tock..."
The man hanging upside down had been dead for a long time. In the corner of this stone house were dozens of murdered ghosts. The ghosts looked at Chen Mengsheng in silence, and trembled and leaned against the wall. Chen Mengsheng shouted.
He shouted: "Who are you? Why did you die here unjustly?"
All the evil ghosts looked at each other, but only a female ghost in her twenties came out and burst into tears: "Pang De allowed people to commit crimes... It is difficult to write down the evil deeds of killing people and taking blood... We were all the underlings in Pang's house."
Man. Half a year ago, I was deceived out of the house by Pang De. He had a killer secretly capture me and then brought him back to this secret room and killed me brutally. The dog thief told my family that I was eloping with someone, but he wanted to take me away.
blood to water the flowers..."
"Ah, there are still such evil people in the world. Please tell me about this matter one by one, and I will find the evil person to settle accounts and give you an explanation." The female ghost cried even more when she heard this, and told the people she had been deceived and killed.
Everything was told in detail. With the female ghost taking the lead, the ghosts of the enemy dared to tell the truth about their murders.
After Chen Mengsheng listened to what the ghosts said, he roughly understood what was going on. A year ago, Xu Ruoyi fell into the water and was rescued by a passing boat on the river. Xu Ruoyi woke up from a coma on the boat for dozens of days, with no body.
However, she didn't want to accidentally ask Miss Pang Mansion to throw the hydrangea. Before Xu Ruoyi understood what was going on, she asked the servants of the Pang Mansion to drag her into the Pang Mansion. The master of the Pang family told Xu Ruoyi about the marriage.
, Xu Ruoyi had a lot of objections. She just said that she already had a wife and asked Miss Pang to find another husband. Although Pang Zhongxin was unhappy, he didn't say anything. But when Pang Xiangyun found out, he burst into tears and made a fuss.
She liked this scholar, and Pang Zhongxin coaxed Pang Xiangyun for a long time. The girl not only refused to listen, but also threw Bai Ling on the beam and threatened to hang herself. Pang Zhongxin was so angry that he slapped Pang Xiangyun in the mouth and slammed the door and left.
Pang De, the manager who was rushing over, found out about this and asked hurriedly: "Yun'er, do you really want that scholar?"
"Yes, I want it, I want it," Pang Xiangyun said.
Pang De always wanted to give Pang Xiangyun what he asked for, so Pang Xiangyun also knew that he would find a way. His coquettish behavior made Min cry with tears and snot. Pang De saw his daughter saying this in his heart: "Yun'er, don't cry.
, you promise me one thing and I will find a way for you."
Pang Xiangyun burst into tears and said with a smile: "What is it?"
"Don't mention the matter with the scholar in front of others. I will take care of it for you." After saying this, Pang De went to find Xu Ruoyi.
When Xu Ruoyi met Pang De for the first time, she felt a little relieved when she saw that he was smiling and didn't mention anything about getting married. Pang De liked the young man in front of him with his handsome features, so he asked: "I have already dealt with Mr. Xu's matter.
My brother and Yun'er have heard about it. Although this matter is a misunderstanding, most of the Yangzhou government knows about Yun'er's choice of husband. How do you want this girl Yun'er to meet people in the future?"
"Uncle Mingjian Ruoyi's parents died. Fortunately, he was saved by the Liu family in Mudu, Gusu. He didn't mind that I was poor and betrothed my daughter to me alone. Without the Liu family's kindness, Ruoyi would have died in vain a few months ago.
If Miss Pang's love and affection are not mutually beneficial, please ask me to let me out."
"Haha, Mr. Xu came to Yangzhou this time to take the examination, right? Yesterday, the exam was closed and waiting for results. Mr. Xu can only wait until next year to try again. According to me, Mr. Xu doesn't even have to pay for accommodation now.
, letting you out of the house will undoubtedly make you freeze to death on the streets."
"This..." Xu Ruoyi thought to herself that apart from this set of old and new clothes, she really didn't have any money. Even if she pawned all her clothes, she couldn't buy a ticket back to Mudu...
Seeing the hesitant look on Xu Ruoyi's face, Pang De lost no time and said: "Mr. Xu, why don't you live in peace at home first? My late father was also a third-rank magistrate in the imperial court when he was alive. Mr. Zhu, the magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture, was also my father's student. If he is Mr. Xu,
If you are interested in an official career, you might as well wait until my brother is born soon to get closer to Mr. Zhu."
Xu Ruoyi came to Yangzhou for reference in the hope that one day she could see the emperor and pardon the Zheng family's treason. If she could get to know the magistrate of Yangzhou Prefecture and have his help, it would be more effective. Xu Ruoyi bowed her hands and said: "Mr. Pang's kindness and kindness are so great.
Yi Ming feels that if Yi people are humble and humble, they dare not climb high."
"Haha, Mr. Xu, please feel free to live in the house. When Yun'er's recruitment of a son-in-law subsides, Mr. Xu can go and stay at his own convenience." Xu Ruoyi thought that this was the best of both worlds, and agreed to temporarily stay in the guest room of Pang Mansion.
中. Until Pang Zhongxin’s 40th birthday two months later, Pang De did not break his promise and introduced Xu Ruoyi to Mr. Zhu in Yangzhou Prefecture that day.
But as the saying goes, it is difficult for an unknown civilian to face an official, so Mr. Zhu chatted for a few words with Xu Ruoyi, who was selling Pang De a favor, and then left. Xu Ruoyi wanted to ask Mr. Zhu to excuse the Zheng family, but he had no chance to say it. Xu Ruoyi looked frustrated.
Soon after returning to the room, Pound came.
Pang Dao smiled and said, "I saw Mr. Xu leaving the table with a displeased look, but I don't know why?"
"Well, Mr. Pang wanted me to stay in the house until I met Mr. Zhu and asked me about something. Who knows that Mr. Zhu is too busy with social activities to pay attention to me. Ruoyi is in Pang's house these days, thinking about Gusu Mudu. Tomorrow
Then we set out to return to Gusu, so as to save my wife from worrying."
Pang De frowned and said, "I wonder what Mr. Xu wants to find Zhu Ren for? With the capabilities of the Pang family in Yangzhou Prefecture, is there anything we can't do?"
"This..." Xu Ruoyi had already heard about the power of the Pang family these days, but as he was an imperial prisoner, Xu Ruoyi was conflicted for a while and didn't know whether he should tell Pang De.
"If it's inconvenient for Mr. Xu to tell me, then just pretend that I didn't ask. I don't know how many people want to curry favor with the Pang family. Mr. Xu, please do it yourself. Pang De will leave first." Pang De stood up and left.
"Mr. Pang stayed behind, but this matter really happened because of my father. If Ruoyi wants to find Mr. Zhu who can help my family, write a few words of good words." Xu Ruoyi told Pang De about the changes in his family, and Pang De
After hearing this, De's face was horrified. If his daughter hadn't liked this boy, she would have been stopped by him every day. I really wanted to slap Xu Ruoyi on Yangzhou Mansion with a stick. Hiding someone who was ordered to commit crimes was like treason...
Pang De said in a deep voice: "Zheng Sanyou helped Ma Rulong to force the palace to rebel. This crime is absolutely unforgivable. Master Zheng, who else have you told this matter?"
"Other than you, Mr. Pang, no one else knows about it. If Ruoyi also understands the power of it, why would he tell others so easily?"
Pang De's expression softened slightly and he said, "Mr. Zheng, do you want to live or die?"
Zheng Ruoyi was stunned by Pang De's words and said: "What if you want to live? What if you want to die?"
"Humph, if you want to have a baby, don't go anywhere. You can stay and be my Yun'er's husband with peace of mind. From now on, there will be no Zheng Ruoyi, only Xu Ruoyi. If you miss, you can leave Yangzhou Mansion now and go back to your Mudu Liu family. Let’s go to the tofu shop…”
After a while, a maid reported Xu Ruoyi's departure from Pang Xiangyun's house to Pang Xiangyun. Pang Xiangyun got furious in the room and threw anything he saw. After Pang De entered the house, he drove away all the maids in Pang Xiangyun's room. Pang Xiangyun became even more arrogant when he saw Pang De coming.
The things he threw became even more violent, so Pang De accompanied Pang Xiangyun to throw things together...
When Pang Xiangyun was unable to fall again, he said calmly: "Girl, you have to think clearly, then Xu Ruoyi is an imperial prisoner. You can choose the men in the world, why do you have to have him?"
"I want him, don't you have a way? Now you want me to choose again, this is obviously your inability."
"Haha, okay, okay. Girl, you are indeed like me. As long as you say this, Xu Ruoyi, even Sun Houhou, will not be able to escape my grasp."
Pang Xiangyun was surprised: "What can I do, uncle? He must have gone back to his wife now, and he doesn't like me..."
"What I, Yun'er, want, I will definitely do for you. He wants to go back to Gusu? Hahaha, I arranged for Jiang and Mu to follow him, and I will take him back home at night. He won't
It doesn't matter if I like you. I know that there is someone in Yangzhou who grows a rare flower from the Western Regions that allows him to do whatever you want. Yun'er, just leave it alone, I'm going out to do things right now..."
There lived a strange man by the Yangtze River. His surname was Mo. He gave himself the nickname "Huanong" because he liked some exotic flowers and herbs. Mo Qian was a loner by nature and had no relatives or friends, so he stayed with him all day long.
I found flowers from various places, but I had several conversations with Pound about flowers and plants.
In the warm sunshine of a spring afternoon, Pound rode his horse to Mo Qian's house on the bank of the Yangtze River. Mo Qian was enjoying the sun with flowers outside the house. When he saw Pound, he asked angrily: "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I came to see your exotic flowers. Brother flower farmer has lost a lot of weight recently, and he is still cutting blood to water the flowers?" Pang asked with a smile as he dismounted.
"Isn't that right? The flower is getting more and more powerful now when it drinks blood. My old bones can hardly hold on anymore. Come into my greenhouse and have a look." Mo Qian took Pang De into the greenhouse and turned it around gently.
There was a crack in the wall.
Only those who really love flowers will dig underground darkrooms with vents in their greenhouses, and use the ground air to place some valuable flowers, plants and seeds while it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
There are two pots of flowers planted in Mo Qian's underground darkroom, one is a purple mandala and the other is a red and green peony with gold leaves. Pound's eyes lit up when he saw the peony: "Brother Mo
, where did you get this flower?”
"Haha, I got this gold-edged red and green peony by chance in Lingjiu Mountain last month. This flower cannot withstand the sun and is very delicate." Mo Qian continued to move forward and stopped in front of the purple mandala flower.
He lifted up his sleeves and cut his arm with a sharp knife. He dripped the blood into a pottery cup. The pottery cup filled half of the cup with blood and poured it into the flower mud. The originally closed flower buds slowly stretched and opened like five fingers, exuding a faint fragrance.
, Mo Qian pulled Pound to a ventilated place for fear of being fascinated by the fragrance of flowers.
Pang De said: "Brother Mo, I came today just to buy these two pots of flowers from you."
Mo Qian laughed loudly and said: "Although I am not as wealthy as your Pang family, I can still afford to raise these two pots of flowers. Even if you pile up gold mountains in front of me, I won't sell them. Your flower house is full of vulgar flowers and grass."
Where can I get this pot of red and green peonies with gold edges?" Mo Qian caressed the red and green peonies, but Pang De behind him didn't expect to pick up a sharp knife from the ground...
