A Clash of Gods Chapter 88: Long flute

Following the previous agreement, Qi Feng led five guards to the old house of the Qi family at dusk. There are many old houses, and the accommodation of a few people naturally does not cause any problems.

Yang Ning originally planned to let Qi Feng go to Jingzhou City, directly find the Jiangling Taishou, and ask directly about the **** of the tax silver in the name of Jinyi Shizi. See if Jingzhou City really sent soldiers to **** the tax silver. That night, Qi Feng set off again the next morning.

Although Qi Feng arrived on time, Qi Cheng did not return on time.

Gu Qinghan stayed in the office until dusk, and she was exhausted. She looked at the taxes in the past three years and checked them carefully, but she did not find any flaws.

Gu Qinghan knows that such a huge account can be done so meticulously, and it can never be completed in three or two months, otherwise it will never be flawless and there will be no flaws. If these accounts are false, then explain Since three years ago, the old house has started to record two accounts, one true and one false.

She thought that Jiangling was the backyard of the Qi family, the foundation of the foundation, and the old mansion was the most important thing. There will never be any mistakes. Only then did she find that the old mansion is much more complicated than she thought.

If these accounts are true, then the tax bank has been sent to Beijing as early as a month ago, but why did Hou Fu not even see one or two silvers? The tax silver sent to the capital did not grow wings and disappeared out of thin air. She wanted to ask where the batch of silver was delivered, but Qi Cheng was nowhere to be seen, and Xiao Cui, who was responsible for escorting the tax silver, also followed Qi Cheng. Jingzhou City, without seeing them, naturally cannot trace the roots.

This day and night, I ran on the road, plus I didn’t sleep well last night, and I was busy all day again today. It was really exhausting. With Yang Ning’s persuasion, I went back to the house first. And Qi Cheng brought the luggage and changed his own clothes.

Yang Ning is not in a hurry to take a break. He is also full of doubts about these things happening in his old house. He wants to see how Qi Cheng should explain when he returns.

Waiting for the middle of the night, Qi Cheng never came back, feeling vaguely that things were not simple.

The night is quiet, the autumn moon is like water, walking in the courtyard of the old house, unconsciously or unconsciously, when I looked up, I came to the path not far from the ghost courtyard, and looked up Looking at it, under the moonlight, the ghost house was quite quiet and silent, but it was rather gloomy.

Yang Ning thought that it was not a good place, turned around and walked a short distance, stopped, and looked back again.

Wei Dong previously said that this courtyard was haunted, Yang Ning naturally didn't believe it, but he was also surprised that two people entered the courtyard one after another, and they both died inexplicably in the end. Is it really because they were scared to death by ghosts?

He was originally a person with great curiosity. If Wei Dong and Gu Qinghan didn’t say the mystery of the ghost courtyard, he might not care too much. Instead, they both said that the courtyard was weird, don’t come close, this Instead, he was full of curiosity about the ghost house.

He was a brave man. Although he looked at the spooky ghost courtyard with some hair in his heart, he vaguely felt that the courtyard where no one was allowed to enter from the old grandfather must be hiding a lot. secret.

Wei Dong talked about the two dead people, it seems that they all stumbled into the courtyard after the sound of the flute sounded, if the flute sound is really a lone ghost, but there is no flute sound now, whether it means that The lone ghost is not in the courtyard?

Sometimes he thinks about it, but he has turned around and pondered a little, but he slowly walked towards the courtyard.

Autumn leaves are bleak, the trees are shady, the dry vines entwined on the wall are like thousands of venomous snakes, Yang Ning walks to the door, sweeps his eyes through the moonlight, then listens to his ears, and the courtyard is still dead. , Silent.

The courtyard wall is actually not high enough. Yang Ning had to turn over the courtyard wall. It was really a breeze. With a little hesitation, Yang Ning walked to the wall, looked around, and made sure there was no one. Living in the dry vines, he climbed up to the head of the wall very easily, squatting on the wall and looking down inwards. I saw that the yard was not big. There was a lonely house in the middle, and the yard was full of vines.

Under the cold moon, the house looked unusually strange, and it stood in the courtyard like that. When a gust of wind blew through, Yang Ning also felt that his back was chilly.

He hesitated a little, but after a bite of his teeth, he pulled out the cold blade in his hand, jumped down the courtyard wall, and fell into the courtyard.

Slowly approaching the past, I saw that the house had collapsed in many places, but the door was covered up. It was in disrepair and the door was a bit rotten.

He held Hanblade in his right hand, and gently pushed open the door with his left hand. The door made a "quack" sound, and everyone heard it. After pushing the door open, there was an old moldy rot inside. The smell rushed into the nostrils, which was very unpleasant. Yang Ning raised his hand and fanned at the tip of his nose and stepped into the house lightly. I saw that there were three rooms in the room, two rooms on the left and the right, and a fairly spacious hall in the middle.

In the hall, the decoration is very simple. In the middle is a table with two chairs on the side and a screen shelf in the corner, but the screen has already rotted. Only the screen shelf is still standing, nor I know if the material of this table and chair is very good, it is not spoiled, but it has been covered with a layer of dust.

Yang Ning looked around and walked towards the room on the left. The door was pulled up, but there was no lock. When Yang Ning pushed it gently, the door was pushed open.

The moonlight came in from the window. Although it was dark, the room was dim, but with the afterglow, it could still be seen clearly. I saw a small case in the wall facing the door in the house. Looking at something, Yang Ning entered the room and looked inside. There was a wooden couch in the corner of the room. There was no futon on it, but the entire wooden couch was well preserved and not spoiled.

Yang Ning felt strange at this moment.

According to Wei Dong, this yard has been closed as early as a few decades ago, and no one has come in since then. If Wei Dong’s words are true, then for decades, the Objects can never be kept so complete, even if the wood of the furniture is really durable, but after entering the house, I did not see a spider web.

He is very clear, Mo said that for decades, even if there was no one in the house for a few years, there must be spider webs everywhere in this house, but no one could see a spider in the hall or in this room. Net, this is abnormal.

I also thought that I just touched the outside table, and the desk was indeed covered with a layer of ash, but according to Yang Ning’s experience, if no one enters to clean it for decades, the dust on the desk must be a thick layer, but he has only Only a layer of light gray was touched, and according to the time estimate, it had not been cleaned for a few months.

Is there really a ghost in this house? And the ghosts in the house will clean the room by themselves?

Or maybe Wei Dong is lying, actually someone in this yard has been coming over occasionally to clean the dust?

The furnishings were simple. Yang Ning walked a few steps closer to the desk case facing the door, and found out that it was a dressing table. Immediately, Gu Qinghan said that a woman seemed to have died before this yard. From the dressing table, I knew that this room had been the woman Gu Guhan said.

The image of a female ghost with long hair covered in his head couldn’t help but his back was cold, he looked around, took a deep breath, looked closely, and found a dressing box and box on the dressing table Covered, not locked, he held the cold blade in his right hand and extended his left hand to open the vanity box.

I saw that the box was not empty, there was a rouge gouache box, a pair of earrings, and a bracelet. Both the bracelet and the earrings were quite exquisite in style, but at first glance it was made of copper, and Not expensive, Yang Ning thought that the Qi family is a Jiangling family and can live in a separate yard. Of course, this woman is not an ordinary maidservant. She still has some identity in the house. It stands to reason that even if there is no gold bracelet, there is at least one silver bracelet. But there is only one copper bracelet in the dressing box, which is not in line with the status of the Qi family.

The rouge gouache has dried up and coagulated into lumps. There is nothing else.

Yang Ning gently covered the vanity box, and found that there was a drawer in the middle of the vanity table. When opened gently, there were only two things in it. One was a copper mirror that could be held in the hand, and the other was wrapped in black silk. At this time, Yang Ning wouldn’t want to move the bronze mirror~IndoMTL.com~ Looking at the mirror in this gloomy house, maybe you will see something unclean from the mirror .

He picked up the thing wrapped in silk and looked at it very carefully. It should be a very precious thing. When he untied the silk, the things inside were revealed.

Yang Ning's face immediately appeared surprised.

Xiao!

It turned out to be a long flute wrapped in black silk.

In a flash, Yang Ning thought of Wei Dong talking about the flute sound coming out of this yard every year. Is that the flute sound coming from this long flute?

This long flute is exquisitely made. Although it looks very old, it is clean and free of dust.

"It's a human...!" Yang Ning whispered to himself. At this moment, he seemed to understand something. In his view, the so-called haunting was nothing more than the death of someone in this yard before. It is forbidden to enter again. After a long time, no one will inevitably appear cold and gloomy. Once everything is mysterious, it will naturally cause a lot of conjecture.

He believes that the person who plays the long flute can never be a ghost. It is likely that someone will come here every year, not only to blow flute here, but also to clean the house.

A year-round unmanned yard often sounds flute from time to time, no wonder people are mistaken for ghosts.

The two people who entered through the wall are believed to have been killed by the person who played the long flute. After all, when the two of them sneaked in through the wall, they all encountered the sound of the flute. The **** was right here, and the two of them bumped into each other before they were brutally hit.

Yang Ning frowned. If his guess was correct, it was people in this house who were not ghosts. Then a person came to this yard for decades without interruption, cleaning the house, and blowing flute for several nights. , Even if someone breaks in and has to kill him, where is this person?

What is his relationship with Jinyi Hou Qi's family?
