Mu Yi really didn't understand why the old beggar appeared in that kind of place. Could it be that he was too old to play in the world? Or did he have any special hobbies? Mu Yi thought for a while and decided to go there in person. After all, this is
The only clue right now is that you can't tell anything just by listening.
So the next day, Mu Yi, led by Wu Xiaosi, went to the place where he found the old beggar. This time, Mu Yi did not take the little girl with him, and even Chong A and B stayed behind. As for Wu Xiaosi, Mu Yi saw
His cleverness may be related to similar experiences, and as a native of Foshan, Wu Xiaosi is extremely familiar with every plant and tree here.
Moreover, this land of fireworks and willows was also one of the places where Wu Xiaosi foraged for food.
In the morning, this street seemed a little deserted. Only a few shops on the street were open, and the rest were still sleeping soundly.
"Xiao Si, do you know anything strange about this street?" Mu Yi asked as he walked. In fact, his mental power was constantly sensing it. He believed that the old beggar would not appear here for no reason.
, just because the distance is too long, it is impossible to find the breath left by the other party, so we can only judge the purpose of his coming here.
"Strange place?"
After Wu Xiaosi received the order, he was really nervous for a while. After one night, he already understood what the flag bearer represented. The person in front of him was the boss of the boss, the leader of the Suzaku Hall. Although Mu Yi looked too young
, but after these years of hard work, Wu Xiaosi has long understood what it means to not look at people based on their appearance.
"Sir, if you want to say the strangest place on this street, then it should be this one." Wu Xiaosi said and pointed directly to an inconspicuous alley.
Mu Yi looked in the direction pointed by Wu Xiaosi. The alley was in tatters, with a lot of rubbish piled inside, and there was a disgusting smell. Mu Yi didn't say anything, just glanced at Wu Xiaosi, and then
The speaker immediately explained it with understanding.
"Adults, don't underestimate this alley. In the past two years, this alley was the busiest on this street, and it was all because of a strange woman living in it." Wu Xiaosi said.
"Oh, what kind of strange woman?" Mu Yi asked.
"It's a female teacher." Wu Xiaosi said.
"Female teacher?" Mu Yi became even more puzzled.
"Yes, sir, this woman is one of the celebrities in Foshan. It is said that she was originally the daughter of a large family. Unfortunately, her family fell into decline, and she was sold to a brothel by a heartless man. I don't know how she persuaded the boss of the brothel.
, in a blink of an eye, he became a teacher teaching the talents of those brothel girls, and as a result, the business of that brothel was getting better and better. However, this woman, being too beautiful was a disaster after all, and it didn’t take long before she attracted covetation. It seemed that she was a certain
The son of a high official was eventually taken away."
"It's strange to say that since this woman was taken away, the brothel's business has plummeted. Then, customers in the brothel continued to die suddenly, and the brothel closed down."
"Unexpectedly, less than half a year later, the woman who was taken away came back. No one knew what happened. But after the woman came back, she bought a house, the one deep in the alley."
Wu Xiaosi was eloquent and his narration was clear and logical. What's more, almost everyone in Foshan knew about the incident at the time. Now Wu Xiaosi just reconstructed the whole thing in front of Mu Yi.
"After this woman bought the house, she openly recruited students, the kind who teach the talents of brothel girls. As a result, this alley became the busiest place in the neighborhood. Every day, people peeked at the restaurant opposite. At that time, many people
People from out of town come here because of its reputation.”
"Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. For more than a year, this woman disappeared mysteriously one night. Later, the house became vacant. Some people wanted to move in, but those people later went crazy.
It seems like there is a ghost inside, and over time, no one dares to go in."
After Wu Xiaosi finished speaking, the two of them walked through the alley and came to the door of the house. Although they only got a rough idea from Wu Xiaosi, and there were still many key points that were not clear, it was enough for Mu Yi.
.
"Squeak!"
Wu Xiaosi stepped forward and pushed open the tattered door, but the other hand hidden in his sleeve was tightly clenched, and his face turned a little pale.
"Tai Shang Laojun, Tathagata Buddha, all gods and Buddhas, you must bless me, Wu Xiaosi, and I will donate some paper money to you in the future." Wu Xiaosi kept thinking silently in his heart, as long as the gods who know it are almost
They all recited it silently in their hearts.
Even though Wu Xiaosi has become a member of Puffin Hall, his main duty is to collect information and is not a combatant. Coupled with some experiences as a child, he is particularly afraid of monsters and monsters. If he had not accompanied Mu Yilai,
I'm afraid he would have turned around and fled long ago.
"Bang!"
Perhaps it was in disrepair. One of the doors made a creaking sound and then fell to the ground. The loud noise made Wu Xiaosi tremble all over and his face turned even whiter.
"Crash!"
The yard is not as dilapidated as expected. It was originally covered with stone slabs, but now there are a lot of weeds growing in the gaps, which are slightly yellow. The yard is very large, with pergolas beside the walls and stone tables in the yard.
There is a piece of bamboo on the south wall, which shows that the former owner was an elegant man.
The main house is a two-story building. Now the walls are mottled and the windows are broken. It looks a bit desolate. If it weren't for Wu Xiaosi's narration, Mu Yi would have had a hard time imagining how prosperous it once was, with warblers whispering and flowers blooming. Perhaps
There are more blood and tears behind this.
Mu Yi looked around, his expression uncertain, and finally his eyes fell on the bamboo forest. He remembered that there was also a bamboo forest in Nian Nuer's home, but it had a completely different meaning in Mu Yi's eyes. The growth of this bamboo forest was gratifying, and Feng Yi
It blew by and made a rustling sound, as if someone was singing in a low voice.
"What's that woman's name?" Mu Yi asked.
"It seems to be called Zhuyun." Wu Xiaosi thought for a while and said.
"Bamboo rhyme?" Mu Yi muttered it twice in a low voice, then turned and left. When Mu Yi walked to the door, Wu Xiaosi realized and hurriedly followed. He even tripped and almost fell when he went out.
fall.
"When you get back, find someone to dig up the bamboo forest in the yard." Mu Yi ordered without looking back.
Although Wu Xiaosi was a little strange about Mu Yi's order, he remembered it firmly in his heart. After returning, he immediately called all the people and horses and started digging with various tools.
"Brother, have you found it?" After Mu Yi returned, the little girl came up to her. She didn't know who Mu Yi was looking for, let alone why Mu Yi came to the South China Sea. When Mu Yi told her to come, she followed him.
Coming.
"Not yet, but soon." Mu Yi touched the little girl's head, his face full of tenderness.
"Well, brother, don't worry. I will help you find it when the time comes." Although the little girl was surprised that Mu Yi's attitude was a little strange today, she still nodded sensibly.
"My lord, my lord, something happened."
In the afternoon, Wu Xiaosi stumbled to find Mu Yi, his face was pale and there was deep fear in his eyebrows.
"Calm down." Mu Yi said softly, but it was like thunder in Wu Xiaosi's ears, as if the fear was suddenly dispelled, and it also had a calming effect on people's hearts.
Finally, Wu Xiaosi recovered. Although there was still a trace of fear on his face, his expression was obviously much better.
"Tell me." Mu Yi continued to ask.
"Sir, a lot of corpses were dug out from under the bamboo forest." Wu Xiaosi said with some difficulty. At the same time, a thought suddenly appeared, that is, had Mu Yi known about it a long time ago? Otherwise, why would he do it?
Ask him to lead people to dig out?
It's a pity that he couldn't ask this question, and he didn't dare to ask it. Thinking of clearing the bamboo forest and digging out the bones one by one, his hands and feet still felt cold. Many people were frightened at that time. They originally thought there would be people here.
Treasure, but I didn’t expect that what was unearthed would be corpses, and not just one or two. I casually counted at least twenty or thirty corpses. No one expected that so many people would die there.
Especially when he thought of the former owner of that courtyard, Wu Xiaosi shuddered.
"Well, I understand." Mu Yi nodded, but didn't say anything. His attitude made Wu Xiaosi a little dumbfounded. That's it? Shouldn't he take someone to check?
"Sir, what should we do?" Wu Xiaosi couldn't help asking after all. After all, there were many brothers guarding there when he came back. He could almost imagine that if this matter spread, it would definitely cause a sensation, and as his role
The culprit who caused this scene will definitely not be able to escape.
"Report to the official." Mu Yi said.
"Report to the official?" Wu Xiaosi's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it. Isn't this the flag bearer in front of him? Legend has it that he kills without blinking an eye and never cares about the existence of the king's law. How could he report to the official?
"Of course you have to report it to the official, or are you going to investigate the case? This kind of thing is not the responsibility of Quetang. Report it to the official honestly and do whatever you want. We just need to wait for the result. Many things,
It's easier for the yamen to check the distance than it is for us." Mu Yi said slowly.
"Yes, sir." At this moment, Wu Xiaosi somewhat understood. After all, the establishment of Puffin Hall was too short, and the village was empty two years ago. It was definitely not Puffin that had been vacant for such a long time.
If the church can find out, even if it is done reluctantly, it will be very difficult.
But if it is left to the government agencies, it will undoubtedly be simple. At most, the most you can do is apply a little pressure, which can not only achieve results, but also save time.
However, Wu Xiaosi still doesn't understand one thing, that is, what if the yamen is not willing to investigate? After all, if such a thing happens, the officials will be disgraced. But since Mu Yi said so, he can only
Follow the instructions, no matter whether it is right or wrong, as for the result, it is not something he can control.
However, when he decided to report to the official position, he first told the hall master. (To be continued)
