309. Extraordinary Ghosts(1/2)

The heavy snow ended the relocation of Zeng's mansion, but some old furniture piled up at the door could still be seen.

Qi Nanwen stepped forward and knocked on the door. The doorman carefully opened the door and looked out. He was startled when he saw a group of people appearing at his door: "Hey, Mr. Qi, why are you here? These, ah, are these officials from the Tendering School?"

Wang Qilin and others were all wearing black brocade robes, with embroidered patterns on their waists and cuffs. Those with a little knowledge can recognize their identities.

Qi Nanwen said: "No need to ask more questions, is your master, your wife at home?"

"At home." The concierge responded.

Qi Nanwen opened the door and said, "Take us to see your master."

The concierge invited them into the door, and then went to find the butler, who took them to the living room.

The living room has not been moved yet, with calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and fruit plates placed on the table. Wang Qilin and Wu Jingzhan sat down. The others stood everywhere, with expressionless faces as if they controlled the entrances and exits of the room.

It looks majestic.

Zeng Youxian, the Zeng family’s master, came out quickly. After entering the door, he clasped his fists and said, “Forgive me, forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, I don’t know if there is a distinguished guest coming to the door. I just wore casual clothes and couldn’t welcome you, so I’m late. Please forgive me.”

Qi Nanwen said: "Brother Pengduo is polite. Lord Wu and Lord Wang are not those who criticize politeness. They come to you to ask for some questions, so you can sit down quickly."

Wu Jingzhan nodded at Wang Qilin and signaled him to take charge of the conversation.

Wang Qilin said: "Mr. Zeng, Qi Xiaonu, the third son of Mr. Qi, once got a big bed from your house. How dare you ask what the bed came from?"

Zeng Youxian said in surprise: "That was something that the dog met when he was visiting a night market. It is said that someone used a carriage to drag the big bed to sell. Seeing that it was finely crafted and durable, the dog spent two gold baht to buy it. May I ask Lord Wang, is there any problem with that bed?"

Wang Qilin shook his head and said nothing, and was also a little surprised.

Two gold coins per bed, this bed is expensive enough, and the Zeng family is really rich.

Judging from Zeng Youxian's appearance, he didn't know where the bed came from. Wang Qilin was very disappointed. It seemed that the clue was about to be broken again when it came here.

Zeng Youxian shook his head and asked considerately: "Mr. Wang, my subordinates really don't know where this bed comes from. It was handled by the dog. So if you want to know more information, you may have to ask the dog. It happened to be locked in the room at this time. If you need it, how can I call him here?"

Wang Qilin was overjoyed and said, "Hasn't the son been sent away?"

Zeng Youxian showed a gloomy look on his face, and he said sadly: "Master Wang clearly understands that the dog is fascinated by a ghost. Perhaps Mr. Qi told you that the reason for moving is to avoid this ghost."

"But it's useless. The heavy snow stopped a few days ago, and the dog rushed back secretly! Alas, I can only lock him in the bedroom and keep him from staying in the bedroom. There is really no other way!"

Qi Nanwen also has a son who judges others by himself. When he saw Zeng Youxian's sad look, he felt uncomfortable and said, "It's just that the adults from Tianjian are coming. To be honest, Brother Pengduo, my Sanlang was also entangled by a ghost a few days ago, but Lord Wang solved the ghost one night after he arrived."

Hearing this, Zeng Youxian hurriedly knelt down to Wang Qilin: "Please save the dog's life!"

Wang Qilin helped him up and said, "Please invite Mr. Zeng to see what the hell is so bold and dare to entangle a talented and famous pillar of the country!"

Zeng Youxian was overjoyed and shouted: "Thank you, Lord Wang!"

He quickly turned around and said majesticly at the butler: "Liufu, why don't you call out that incompetent boy for Lord Wang to see."

The housekeeper Liufu was about to turn around and leave, Zeng Youxian thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's go find him together. I'm afraid you can't bear to see him and let him run away again."

Hearing this, Wu Jingzhan said in surprise: "What the hell is this? It seems that he is so fascinated by the young master of the Zeng family."

Xu Da narrowed his eyes and said, "I want to take a good look at what this ghost looks like today and attract a rich man like this. Hehe, it seems that the change of appearance is extraordinary!"

Wang Qilin asked, "What's wrong? What can you do after seeing it?"

Xu Dadao: "Uncle can catch it and imprison it."

Wang Qilin smiled and said, "But where did you imprison it? The dead jade rings in your hand are already full."

Xu Da said happily: "It doesn't matter. I'll get Shan Gong Youfu away. Isn't it possible to have a dead jade ring?"

The servants respectfully brought hot tea. They drank the tea and waited, but they waited for a while but did not wait until Zeng Youxian brought his son back.

They were wondering, and a howl sounded outside: "Come here, the young master ran away! The master fainted from anger! Come here, the young master is coming, the young master is arresting!"

Wang Qilin slapped the table and drove his energy down, blew out of the door like a gust of wind. After Shen Yi was unwilling to let go, he threw away his long legs and ran to chase after him.

They followed the butler's voice and saw the butler sitting on the ground with a helpless look on his face.

The two sides met and the butler pointed eastward: "In that direction, sir, the young master must have gone to the small gate to the east to escape! He even brought a salute, he was going to elope!"

Wang Qilin shouted, "I will chase you east and ask the direction of the butler's other doors, and immediately block the door, and you are allowed to enter and not leave!"

He has gained experience in dealing with ghosts and is well aware of the principle of being cheated by soldiers. So he doesn't care where the young master of the Zeng family escapes, and seals up the entire house first, and then he can catch turtles in the jar.

Sure enough, Xu Da finally brought a young man back from the back door: "I blocked him at the door, and this kid found an old servant to support him and wanted to run away."

The young master of the Zeng family was a little brainy. After running eastward, he turned to the back door that fled to the north, trying to play with his fingers, but unfortunately he met the old driver Wang Qilin.

Zeng Gongzi's mother Zeng Huang came here crying. Seeing her son carrying a box and a bag, she suddenly collapsed and hugged her son and cried loudly:

"Yun'er, Yoon'er, do you want your mother? You don't even want your mother for that fairy? What's wrong with your parents? You're obsessed with it, you're fascinated by that fairy with means. How can you do this!"

Seeing his mother crying, Mr. Zeng also cried, he cried, "Mom, the child is unfilial and makes you and your father angry many times. You might as well pretend that you have never raised a child and let the child go. The child has made a promise to his wife. She must not marry her in this life. If she cannot marry her, take her away!"

Wang Qilin looked at Mr. Zeng. He looked haggard, listless, withered and yellow complexion, and was weak and weak. He did look like he was entangled by a female ghost banshee and sucked too much essence, qi and blood.

But he thought about it carefully and said, "I didn't find the ghost's yin energy. Mr. Zeng was entangled by the ghost, right?"

Zeng Huang cried, "Old man is the master of my slave family! My little boy is not entangled by a ghost, but a monster. That monster used methods to fascinate my little boy's heart..."

"Mom, this is not the case at all. She is not a monster, she is a human, and her wife is a human!" Mr. Zeng roared.

Zeng Huang covered his face and cried bitterly.

The housekeeper said helplessly: "Young Master, she is a monster, otherwise how could you be so fascinated by you? Alas!"

Mr. Zeng said angrily: "Shut up, it's fine if my parents insult my wife, are you worthy?"

Wang Qilin sternly said to Mr. Zeng: "Don't yell first, tell me the cause and effect of the matter and let me listen."

Mr. Zeng has a very stubborn temper. He said proudly: "Sir, Madam Qili is not a ghost, nor a demon. She is an individual. My family doesn't like her, so I just call her that. I also ask the adults to make decisions for the students!"

Wang Qilin said: "Tell me the cause and effect. If your wife is a human being or not a demon, I will naturally make the decision for you."

Mr. Zeng asked in a slight question when he heard this: “Really?”

Wu Jingzhan said lightly: "Wu Jingzhan, the official in charge, is willing to promise with Lord Wang that if the person who charms you is a human or a ghost, you will definitely urge your parents to accept the girl, no matter whether she is ugly or beautiful, no matter whether her family is rich or poor."

Mr. Zeng was overjoyed and said, "It's like that. At the beginning of this year, the students made an appointment with several friends to enjoy the snow. But after leaving the city and entering the mountain, no one expected another heavy snow to follow!"

"The students were trapped in the mountains for many days, hunger and cold, and were about to die in the snow-covered mountains."

"And by chance, we met the Qili Madam after the heavy snow stopped. The Madam was poor. Every time after the snow, he would go into the mountain to pull down the rope to catch pheasants and hares. This time it was the snow that was put down later."

"After she entered the mountain, she found a few of us in the snow house. Her wife was kind-hearted and hurried out to find dead branches to cook snow water for us to drink. She also cooked a pot of rabbit broth to save our lives!"

"Sir, you say, Madam Qili is such a kind person. She has life-saving kindness to me. Why is she so insulted because of her poor family? If your sweetheart is insulted and looked down upon by others, can you bear it?"

Chen Yi touched the stubble on his head and said, "Amitabha, others don't know. Anyway, who dares to insult the woman who criticizes the monk, the monk must send him to the Buddha!"

Mr. Zeng's eyes lit up and bowed to him, "The monk has the true nature!"

Chen Yi clasped his hands together and looked solemn: "Amitabha!"

It's really like that.

Wang Qilin looked at Xie Hama and whispered: "Is it a monster born in the snow?"

Xie Haoma said: "The one who can charm people in the snow is Xue Meizi, but..."

When Mr. Zeng heard their words, he angrily said, "My wife is not a snow demon Xue Meizi, she is just an ordinary person!"

Wang Qilin knew that there was no point in arguing with him at this time, so he lowered his hand and said, "Yes, yes, she is an ordinary person, so how can you attract her to get to know us?"

Mr. Zeng said to Xu Da: "This master has seen it."

Xu Da was stunned: "I, have I seen it?"

Then he reacted: "I've seen a lot. You don't swear. The old man is not a lustful person. He has never seen a girl when he comes to this county."

Qi Nanwen was surprised: "The girl I sent to your room last night, you didn't..."

Xu Da quickly hugged his shoulder and dragged it out: "Mr. Qi, I still have something to know about your demon bed. Don't, you don't have to speak, you answer me with your eyes."

Qi Nanwen: My grass!

Mr. Zeng said, "My wife will be answering me outside the door today. It's easy for you to see her. I'll bring her in, okay?"

Wang Qilin said: "You can take us to see her directly."

The group walked towards the back door and arrived at the door. Zeng Huang took the lead and opened the door and saw it. He knelt on the ground crying and said, "I beg you not to bother my little boy. Aunt, please let him go. He is still a child! He is still a child!"

An old woman wearing coarse cloth clothes stood at the door.

Wang Qilin looked at Xie Haoma in a daze, but found that Xie Haoma was even more confused than him.

Xu Da, who was curious, reacted, and pointed at the old woman and asked tentatively: "That Qili Lady, can't it be her?"

It was a cold day, and there was no one outside the door except the old woman.

Wang Qilin scratched his head, speechless.

Xu Da murmured: "This young master of the Zeng family is not lying. I have really seen her. She just helped the young master of the Zeng family to go out."

Wu Jingzhan, who has always been known for his calmness and calmness, twitched several times in the corner of his mouth, and had nothing to say for a while.

Xie Hama said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, the old Taoist priest travels around the world and is well-versed in history. What scene hasn't been seen before?"

The Zeng family's young master went up to hug the old woman, and he finally sighed dejectedly: "I have never seen this scene before. Master Qi, I'm just eye-opening to you."
