Shu Blossoms

Chapter 377 Weird Mansion
Is it too much of a coincidence that a vacant house belongs to the former clan?
When Zheng Wei was wondering if Xia Houqing would be so bold as to hide people from the Great Wei Mission inside, Liu Yuan slapped Zheng Wei on the shoulder.

"Hiss!" Zheng Wei's wound that had just healed suddenly felt a little raw, and couldn't help but gasp.

Liu Yuan was taken aback when he saw this, and murmured helplessly, "Aren't you well?"

Zheng Wei glared at him, "Do you think your hand strength is still the same as before?"

Liu Yuan scratched his head but was not fooled by Zheng Wei, and asked after him, "You haven't told me yet, why did you check that mansion?"

Zheng Wei hesitated for a moment, and only revealed one thing, "Recently, there are Dawei Xizuo hiding in the city, in case they make trouble again, we must find out where they are staying as soon as possible."

Liu Yuan was suddenly stunned when he heard the words, "I see, they were the ones who made the vibration yesterday, didn't they?"

Zheng Wei nodded, "I think it's probably them!"

"These meticulous operations are really hateful. They dare to destroy the granary. How can the people in the city survive without food."

Liu Yuan was very angry, Zheng looked at him with a smile, "Okay, it's been so long since we've seen each other, Liu Erlang actually understands how to worry about the country and the people, as expected, he should treat each other with admiration after three days!"

Liu Yuan blushed, and said a little annoyed, "Princess, don't make fun of me!"

Zheng Wei quickly restrained his expression, "Okay, let's get down to business, you have many ways in Beijing, can you help me check the situation of this house, I'll find a way to test it out tomorrow."

Just as Liu Yuan was about to nod his head, he was surprised when he heard the words: "You still want to go in?"

"I've already checked the three nearby streets this afternoon, so far this is the only house that is most likely to hide people." Zheng Wei said helplessly, after working all afternoon, her legs were broken, she didn't want to only have this little hope. give up.

"But no one wants to live in this house." Liu Yuan thought it was impossible.

"Why?" Zheng Wei was puzzled.

"Do you know how that family died back then?" Liu Yuan showed a trace of unbearable, and said softly: "According to the old servant who survived from the previous dynasty, many of the Xiahou royal family were arrested, and many of the family members were killed by those soldiers. The men of this family were arrested in the palace, and they only fled desperately back to a servant to deliver the letter. The old lady in the family couldn't bear the humiliation of her descendants, and knowing that there was no way to escape, she took dozens of people in the mansion to hang herself to death. From sixty old women to toddlers, their corpses hang from the beams of the roof, and none of them survived!"

Liu Yuan couldn't help shivering when he said that, "Since I went there, horrible things have often happened in that house, and there are ghosts wandering around at night. A few years ago, that's right, someone bought it four years ago. After living in this house, several people died one after another for unknown reasons, and the family moved out quickly. They all said that the soul of the family was trapped in the house and could not get out."

Then he pointed to the thorns all over the wall, "That's why I ordered people to transplant these thorn trees a few years ago because I was afraid that the children in the mansion would sneak over and cause trouble."

Zheng Wei tilted his head to look at him, "You can't be the kid who climbed over the wall, can you?"

"No, I was weak when I was a child, and my grandmother and mother watched closely, so I wouldn't do things like climbing over walls. It's my third brother who has been stubborn since he was a child, and always liked to do things like climbing mountains and hills. A few years ago I climbed over the wall and went in once when no one was paying attention, and then got seriously ill when I came back, so my father asked someone to raise the wall and plant thorns."

Zheng Wei nodded, so the mansion opposite was even more suspicious, she patted Liu Yuan, and asked curiously, "Didn't you go out just now, why did you come back?"

"I saw you from outside the door just now and thought you were very familiar, the more you thought about it, the more strange it became, and I couldn't help but run back after walking halfway." Liu Yuan didn't dare to say that he thought Zheng Wei's behavior was suspicious, so he ran back to catch the thief.

"Then you still have things to do?" Zheng Wei asked again.

"No, my grandmother wanted to eat the salted egg crisps from Shuiyunjian. My mother sent me to buy them. I asked the boy to go, and I will be back in a while."

Liu Yuan explained.

"Then you send it to the old lady first, and then help me find out about the owner of the mansion next door. For example, who is the owner from the Xiahou clan, and which family he was friendly with during his lifetime, the more detailed the better."

Zheng Wei urged him, Liu Yuan was well aware of her stubbornness, seeing that she still did not give up, he could only help her as much as possible, otherwise if Zheng Wei acted rashly and something happened to him, he would be miserable!
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan nodded and agreed, "Then you have to promise me, you can't act rashly, your injury is just right, and your skills haven't recovered yet."

Zheng Wei thought for a while and said: "I can only have you for one night, if there is no news tomorrow afternoon, I have to go in and have a look!"

"In such a hurry?" Liu Yuan felt a little strange, there was never enough detail to catch, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

"I'm afraid it will take a long time, they have noticed and withdrew, and then it will be even more troublesome!" Zheng Wei didn't say that he was in a hurry to find A Wan, and could only find excuses to prevaricate.

At this time, someone came this way, Zheng Wei hastily pushed Liu Yuan, Liu Yuan understood, gave her a playful look, straightened her clothes, coughed lightly and raised her voice: "Then who, you and I bring it on!"

Zheng Wei bent over and gritted his teeth: "Yes!"

Then she followed Liu Yuan back to the inner house, Liao Wennan first breathed a sigh of relief seeing Zheng Wei, then looked at the person walking in front, it was actually Liu Yuan, and understood that Zheng Wei had been spotted.

However, seeing Liu Yuan's attitude didn't seem like he wanted to expose her, Liao Wennan lowered his head reassuringly. Although she had traveled with Liu Yuan for a while, he hadn't seen her for a few years. He was not worried that Liu Yuan would recognize her.

Sure enough, without squinting, Liu Yuan said solemnly, "You wait here, don't run around!"

Then he just left.

After he left, Liao Wennan quietly walked over and asked, "Why have you been gone for so long? Did you find anything?"

"Go out and talk about it!" Zheng Wei raised his head and saw the maid in Madam Liu's room sending Liniang out, said something in a low voice, and the two hurriedly stood upright.

After the three of them left Liu's residence, it was getting late, Zheng Wei didn't dare to delay outside any longer, and hurried back to the residence.

More than half an hour later, when night fell, a convoy came in at the gate of the city. The sacks on the ten carriages were piled high, and each carriage was guarded by four people. Han Shidi, who raises food for the city.

When the city gate official saw him, he quickly saluted and said hello, "Mr. Xiao Han, are you back?"

Han Shidi returned the gift with a smile, and said gently: "Yes, it's a bit late to come back after wanting to raise more money."

The city guard hurriedly waved his hand to let the guards out of the way, "You have worked hard, please come in!"

Han Shidi said lightly: "The rules cannot be broken, you can only enter the city after inspection."

Seeing Han Shidi's insistence, the city guard led his people to check the contents of the carriage one by one and confirmed that they were all grains, then respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Xiao Han, I've checked and it's all right! You can go into the city!"

Only then did Han Shidi lead the convoy into the city, watching the team gradually disappear into the night, a soldier guarding the gate said softly: "Do you think Mr. Xiao Han brought back a lot more people than when he left the city?"

"There is a lot of food shipped, so naturally more people are needed!" The person beside him said disapprovingly, "Are you fainted from hunger, what are you thinking about!"
