Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 114 Fluctuation
Wang Heng took a breath of air, rushed to the stairs, and shouted down: "Liu Da, Liu Da."

Liu Da immediately responded from downstairs: "Master, if you have any orders, it doesn't matter."

Wang Heng suppressed his panic and said in a trembling voice: "Liu Da, come upstairs and have a look."

Liu Da responded, climbed the stairs in three steps, and saw Wang Heng standing stunned in Langhuan Fudi's study room, and asked: "Master, are you looking for any book in this room?"

Wang Heng pointed at the lamp in Langhuan Blessed Land and said, "Liu Da, when did you light the lamp? How come I didn't see you coming up?"

"Young master, I'm not joking. The old man sifted tea and came downstairs. He never went up again. Mr. Mo is not here today, so I have to help him keep an eye on it." Liu Da looked confused and turned back to Dongtian Paradise. He glanced over and saw that the glazed lamp he had lit was placed on the table. He was surprised and said, "Who lit this lamp? If the lamp does not go out when someone leaves, Mr. Mo will definitely scold him."

Wang Heng asked: "How many managers are there in your building?"

Liu Da said doubtfully: "On weekdays, only Mr. Mo is in charge. I am his family servant, so I can also help with some things."

Wang Heng was sweating and said, "Liu Da, have you ever seen a girl in plain clothes going upstairs?"

Liu Da was inexplicable: "Young Master is even joking. It's snowing heavily today. There is only one guest in the building. It's you yourself, Young Master. What kind of girl do you come from? Besides, Huangjiazhuang's clan rules are very old-fashioned, that is, all year round Not many girls can go upstairs to read."

The conversation took a lot of time. At this time, the sky in the building became darker. Wang Heng pointed to the chair where the girl just sat and said anxiously: "Liu Da, don't believe it. There was a girl in plain clothes just sitting there." After reading for a while, I got up and tidied the bookcase. I said hello to her, but she turned a blind eye and disappeared in the room in a blink of an eye. I walked around the room several times, but I didn't find any hiding place. , this girl really disappeared."

Liu Da shook his head and said: "How is this possible? There are no doors leading to the outside in the Langhuan Paradise and Dongtian Paradise. To go out, you can only go downstairs from the stairwell. How could the people in the room disappear without a trace." "

Liu Da picked up the lamp on the desk, looked at it carefully, and said: "This is really the lamp of our Xianyun Tower, but the style is a bit old, not the commonly used ones. There may still be some in the warehouse with a style like this." There are a few lamps, but if I look for them, I won’t be able to find them for a while.”

Wang Heng suddenly remembered that the girl stood up and seemed to put the book in her hand on the herringbone bookcase on the right, so he walked forward quickly. The herringbone bookcase was empty, with only one book in it. Liu Da came over with a lamp and read by the light. Clearly, this is a volume of "Flower Room Collection".

It seems quite reasonable for a young and beautiful girl to be fascinated by "The Collection of Flowers".

This volume of "Flower Room Collection" has an elegant binding, and it looks like an ancient copy of its age.

Wang Heng turned the page gently, and unexpectedly a piece of colored paper fell out of the scroll. Wang Heng picked it up and put it in front of the lamp to read, "The drizzle wets the flowing light, and the grass grows year by year with hatred."

This is a poem from Feng Yansi's "Nanxiangzi". The handwriting is graceful and lively, with faint traces of ink that seem to be there, as if it will fade to white paper in the next moment. "The drizzle wets the flowing light." Liu Da seemed to have some ink in his stomach. He was slightly startled, with a look of fear in his eyes, and asked: "Master, the girl in plain clothes you mentioned is wearing plain ancient clothes, with a flying hairdo." Fairy bun, an extremely beautiful girl?"

Wang Heng nodded.

Liu Da seemed to be frightened and frightened. He hurriedly took a few steps back and quickly left Langhuan Paradise. He shouted to Wang Heng from a distance: "Miss Yaoguang, Miss Yaoguang has appeared."

Wang Heng stood there blankly, looking at Liu Da in confusion.

Liu shouted several times, but when he saw that Wang Heng was indifferent, and seemed to still want to explore the Langhuan Paradise, he gritted his teeth and rushed in again, grabbed Wang Heng's arm, and dragged Wang Heng toward the stairwell: "Young Master , Miss Yaoguang has appeared, let’s leave quickly.”

Liu Da was a man with strong arms, so Wang Heng was dragged by him and couldn't break free. He had to put away the colored paper in his pocket and reluctantly followed Liu Da downstairs.

Because Liu Da held the lamp in his hand, Wang Heng was able to see the stairs clearly at close range. The wood of the stairs was solid, dense, and bright in color. Such good wood was used to make stairs.

Knocking on the stair handle with his hand, there was a hard echo. Wang Heng was stunned. Isn't this the "sound of gold and iron?"

Seeing that Wang Heng was still looking around, Liu Da sternly said: "Master, hurry up." He dragged Wang Heng away as if running away. He was still worried when he got downstairs. Regardless of the cold weather and snow, he went straight out of Xianyun Tower and stood up. Go to the promenade.

"A bad omen, a big bad omen, the young master still doesn't know what happened." Liu Da was so anxious that he was sweating.

Wang Heng was still distracted, thinking about the appearance of the stairs, and suddenly a sentence came to his mind: "Born in Hangzhou, died in Liuzhou."

Yes, the color and material of the wood for the stairs definitely looks like Liuzhou wood.

Liuzhou wood is the best wood for longevity. Why is it used to make stairs?

Wang Heng had some bad guesses in his trance and felt cold all over.

Liu Da said word by word: "When Miss Yaoguang appears, someone will definitely die in Zhuangzi."
