Chapter 350 Yao Family’s Secret

After hearing what he said, Xu Huaiyi's heart moved and he had some ideas. He pretended to be curious and asked, "Who can't be reincarnated and become a ghost?"

Zhao Sanyou said mysteriously, "When you die with too much resentment and unwillingness, it is said that you will turn into a ghost and refuse to reincarnate, waiting to take revenge on your vengeance."

"What does it mean to be too resentful?"

"For example, those who have been unfairly treated, or suffered great injustices, and those who died with hatred, are very resentful. Otherwise, they will die with their eyes open. Most of those people will not be able to live normally. Reincarnate."

Xu Huaiyi nodded seriously, "I've learned a lesson."

Zhao Sanyou laughed dryly, "What's this, that, Huaiyi, why are you asking about this?"

Xu Huaiyi pondered, "I was wondering what the situation was like with the evil ghost who appeared at Yao's house last night. Was it grievance or hatred?"

Zhao Sanyou was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he couldn't help but slap the table in excitement, "Yes, don't you know the origin of that ghost? You also know the reason. Why didn't the other family go and challenge the Yao family? There must be a grudge against the Yao family. First they robbed money, and then they hurt people. Hahaha, the second master of the Yao family was injured there. It can be said that life would be worse than death. This grudge must have been almost avenged, right? "

Su Zhe's eyes flashed, "So, what happened to the Yao family last night was all the fault of Mr. Yao?"

Zhao Sanyou said, "That's right. Every injustice has its owner and its debtor has its owner. It was not his fault. Why did the evil ghost single out him to scare him?"

Su Zhe shook his fan slowly, "That's right, Mr. Yao really deserves to suffer this disaster and he doesn't deserve sympathy."

Zhao Sanyou nodded vigorously and said with emotion, "You are not a gentleman if you don't retaliate. Otherwise, many people would shout, 'I won't let you go even if I turn into a ghost' before they die. There really is such a thing."

Su Zhe twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Xu Huaiyi, "Huaiyi, do you believe there are ghosts and gods in this world?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded without hesitation.

Su Zhe raised his eyebrows, "Do you really believe it?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Of course, I have witnessed it with my own eyes. Have you forgotten about the miracle that happened in our Hutian Village? What is that if it's not a god? And some time ago, the Changlehou Mansion was punished by thunder from the sky, and most of the capital was destroyed. All the people have seen it, aren’t they all bluffs? Anyway, I believe that evil will be rewarded and good will be rewarded. It’s not that we will not be rewarded. The time has not come yet, so we have to do good things.”

Su Zhe saw that he was speaking frankly and calmly, and even if he still had some doubts in his heart, he couldn't confirm it. After all, he couldn't understand that it was easy for a person to pretend to be a ghost, but pretending to be so similar, he deceived everyone in the Yao family. It's unbelievable, especially the descriptions passed down from the Yao family. They are erratic, come and go without a trace. Even a master of Qinggong can't do it, right?

So, is it really a ghost coming to take revenge? Has nothing to do with Xu Huaiyi?
Back in the dormitory, there were only two people left. Li Yunting asked directly, "You didn't do the Yao family's affairs, right?"

Xu Huaiyi showed no guilt at all and spread his hands, "Do you think with my current skills, I can achieve that kind of elusiveness?"

Li Yunting shook his head and said honestly, "No."

Xu Huaiyi shrugged, "So, how could it be me? I learned Qinggong from my master. It's only been a few days, and I can barely climb over a wall, fly over walls, let alone come and go without a trace. I can't Not that capable. Besides, according to the news from the Yao family, the items lost in the study included several huge jade ornaments, which together weighed one to two hundred kilograms. It was difficult for me to carry them, but I could still avoid them while carrying them. Is the nurse in the mansion escaping again?”

Li Yunting frowned, "It's really impossible."

"Besides, if it were really me, and I'm not stupid, I would have found a way to get into the study. If I didn't quickly find a handle that could take advantage of the Yao family, why would I be stealing those jade stones? Only by having a handle can I clean up the Yao family and only let them break. A small fortune is too cheap for them." Xu Huaiyi looked very calm.

He is not afraid of Li Yunting's suspicion. No matter how suspicious he is, he can't find any evidence.

Li Yunting thought thoughtfully, "You are right, is it really the evil ghost who went to seek revenge on the Yao family?"

"When you eliminate all impossible situations, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth." After Xu Huaiyi finished speaking, he added, "I didn't say this, I read it from the book."

"what book?"

"Uh, story book."

Li Yunting glanced at him, did not ask any more questions, and returned to the previous topic, "If it was done by Li Gui, it can be regarded as indirectly helping you. The losses to the Yao family this time are not small. Not only is it a loss of money, but also injuries. My reputation has also been affected. I asked, but Yao Yuanyuan didn’t come to school today.”

Xu Huaiyi said, "Whatever you sow, you will get what you reap."

Li Yunting nodded, "You're right, you're all to blame, so are you still fighting back?"

Xu Huaiyi muttered, "Not for the time being. The Yao family is currently on the cusp of a storm. If I take action at this time, I will easily be targeted. I have arranged for people to sneak into the Yao family to keep an eye on it. If there is any situation, I can know it in advance. But I think...since the Yao family is haunted by evil spirits, the bad luck won't be the same as last night, and there is a high probability that they will suffer in the future. I'll just wait and see."

"Do you think last night was just the beginning and there will be a continuation?"

"We'll see."

He didn't have time to go into the RV to chat with his wife at noon, so he could only wait for the evening. By the afternoon, the news about the Yao family had spread throughout the college, especially the evil ghost's theory of revenge. Most people believed it and just thought it was Yao. The family has done something wrong, so there are ghosts calling the door, and they deserve it.

But the Yao family is not the only one who has committed evil deeds. Therefore, some people are inevitably frightened, fearing that they will follow in the footsteps of the Yao family. As a result, Taoist priests suddenly became very popular, and they are secretly looking for those with advanced magic skills to invite home to exorcise evil spirits. Ghost hunting.

At the same time, the previous haunting in the college was also mentioned again. Now, the courtyard is still empty. No one dares to live in it. This old incident has almost been forgotten. Now it is reported that the Yao family is haunted again, okay? , have been connected together. Privately, many students are speculating on what bad things Xiangchao and several people did at that time to cause the ghosts to call the door. In addition, they are also secretly warned that they must not commit any wrongdoing in the future, otherwise there will be real consequences. They will definitely not be able to escape if the evil ghost comes to seek revenge.

In this way, I unintentionally saved many souls who were about to "slip up", and there will be many fewer people doing evil things in the future.

Xu Huaiyi was very happy when he learned about it.

Of course, this is a later story. At the moment, Xu Huaiyi was thinking about the letters and account books he had stolen back from the Yao family. He finally stayed up until night. After getting into the RV, he couldn't wait to ask, "Daughter-in-law, please tell me, hold it back." It kills me..."

Gu Huanxi had written down the important information she had compiled on a piece of white paper and handed it to him, "You can read it yourself first."

Xu Huaiyi took it, his eyes widened the more he looked at it, and he murmured, "What a good guy, what a good guy. I didn't expect the Yao family to be so capable. A small fifth-rank official can stir up troubles and hide things." It’s really deep…”

After he finished reading, Gu Huanxi asked, "What do you think?" Xu Huaiyi patted his chest, "Let me slow down first, I'm jumping so hard now, I really can't look down on my appearance. I really can't underestimate anyone in the officialdom." A person, even a humble official, may be able to make a huge difference at a critical moment, just like a pawn, no matter how inconspicuous, can determine life or death in one step. "

He rambled for a while before calming down. He took the paper and lay down half next to his wife. "Let's talk about the weirdness in this account book first. Looking at these records, it actually lasts for more than ten years. In other words, from Once he entered the officialdom, he started to keep his background. He is really a far-sighted person..."

"How many of these names do you recognize?"

"I know most of them. My master has taught me before about all the officials who can go to court, but I don't know about the officials who are out of the capital. Look at the few who have been here for a long time. Now they are all ministers of the Ministry of Rites and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Personnel. …”

"Well, it seems that he bribed these people to stay in the capital and serve in the capital. He also joined the Ministry of Rites and was promoted to the fifth rank."

"These are normal. It is a common practice to give gifts to Shangguan, especially officials. Otherwise, there are so many Jinshi waiting to be assigned to officials. Why would they be assigned to you? Either because of connections or money. What surprises me is that this …”

Gu Huanxi sighed, "Yes, when I saw it at the time, I was very surprised. The Yao family's daughter entered the Meng family of Uncle Pingyuan's residence, and the Meng family's daughter entered the eldest prince's residence. But look at this account book, The Yao family has never sent benefits to the eldest prince's palace, but they have sent one after another to the King of Chu. The time span is not short. I calculated, it has been at least seven years. What does this mean? "

Xu Huaiyi said in a daze, "It means that Yao Changjun has been a member of the King of Chu for a long time. The eldest daughter of the Yao family married into Uncle Pingyuan's house, and it was the King of Chu's plan to keep her alive. Although Uncle Pingyuan has been deteriorating in the past few years, the emaciated camel is better than Ma Da, there is still a need to win over. Look, he has been covered up. The Meng family has a Ping An County head, and people in the capital are looking up to him. He is considered a powerful force. No wonder, above. The last time I had dinner at Chun Shui Lou, I saw Meng Zhonglou following the Crown Prince of Chu..."

"Meng Chonglou? The biological father of Ping'an County Lord Meng Yao? Isn't it said that he is a dandy? Can the Prince of Chu still play with him?"

"Just cover up people's eyes and ears. Play with him so that people don't think too much. If you play with Meng Chung-shan, isn't it obvious that you are wooing him?"

Gu Huanxi was thoughtful.

Xu Huaiyi asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Gu Huanxi looked at him, "Meng Yao, Lord of Pingan County."

"The reborn one?"

"Well, every step she takes must be intentional. For example, through the prophet, she gained the favor of the Meng family, got herself the title of county head, and even married the daughter of the Meng family into the eldest prince early. The palace has taken over the position of concubine in the harem. Every step of the way has a clear purpose, right? "

Xu Huaiyi nodded, confused, "Yeah, what's wrong? Isn't she just using herself to live an extra life and have bad information? We really can't compare with her in this regard, but if we can keep an eye on her, we can also analyze something useful. content to come.”

"Yes, the information was poor. This is the most important bargaining chip in her hand. She knew that the eldest prince sat on the throne in the previous life, so now when no one is optimistic about the eldest prince, she sent the Meng family daughter in. , Even if it is for the concubine, why does she want her biological father to follow the prince of Chu? "

Xu Huaiyi's eyelids twitched, "Could it be that the King of Chu was secretly supporting the eldest prince? He felt that the eldest prince was soft-tempered and easy to control, and wanted to support him to become the regent after he ascended the throne? Therefore, the eldest prince was able to defeat other princes and sit on the throne in the end, so it was not a mistake. , but is it the result of the King of Chu? And Meng Yao knows these inside stories and knows that even if the eldest prince becomes the emperor, he has no real power, so he has to flatter the King of Chu in advance? "

Gu Huanxi was speechless, "Since the King of Chu has the ability to support the eldest prince to ascend to the throne, why not just ascend the throne himself and become the emperor?"

Xu Huaiyi said matter-of-factly, "The reputation is not good. Today, Emperor Jianxing only has six surviving princes. If they are not saved, they will continue to live. Even if they are all killed, there are still princes, including Prince Ping and Prince An, who are close and distant. There are many legitimate sons and concubines in total. How many people must be killed if the King of Chu wants to ascend to the throne? If so many people in the royal family die, only the King of Chu will be left. How do you think the civil and military officials of the dynasty and the people of the world will regard him? ? Can he still hold the throne? "

Gu Huanxi muttered, "What you said makes sense, but I always feel that it's not the case."

"Do you doubt that King Chu can also sit on the throne? Didn't the eldest prince only hold the throne for a few years and then be overthrown?"

"Maybe he was killed."

"what?"

Gu Huanxi saw the frightened expression on his face and said angrily, "As for that? Have you watched so many palace fighting dramas in vain? Is it unusual for someone to die in the palace? Concubines, princes, and emperors are all vulnerable groups, okay? ?”

"That's right, then our little fish..."

Gu Huanxi frowned, "So we can't be anxious, let's take it one step at a time. If the final winner is really King Chu, and the eldest prince is just his springboard, then we must not let Xiaoyu's identity be exposed."

Xu Huaiyi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's too dangerous..." Thinking of something, he paused and said, "Daughter-in-law, didn't I tell you before that I suspected someone had deceived the victims to become private soldiers? It was never found out. Who is coming? The person sent by the second prince was fooled around. My master reminded me not to get involved in this matter. We both made a guess. Now that I think about it, do you think it will be the King of Chu? "

Gu Huanxi smiled bitterly, "It's possible..."

"Then how did he come to power in the end? He wouldn't have bloodbathed the palace to force him to take the throne, right?"

Gu Huanxi shook his head, "I don't know. Looking at Yao Changjun's letters, there is no mention of the Chu Palace in them."

"The King of Chu must be cautious. It is easy to leave clues when writing letters. If you have any orders, just send a confidant to deliver the message."

"Well, you are right. Yao Changjun should have received his order before contacting those officials who were sent abroad. This is to cultivate power for the King of Chu. There are already several of them, and their positions are not low. Even our Tong County All the county magistrates are like this. Isn’t God magical?”

Xu Huaiyi thought of his shock when he first saw the words Tongxian, and sighed, "Magical, how can it not be magical? I'm sorry we have a long history with the capital. I now suspect that the place where Shenglong Pavilion is located is probably the sphere of influence of the King of Chu. , the Liuli we started as, may have been given to the King of Chu.”

"What are you going to do?"

"The King of Chu will not be a good emperor. No matter how good his reputation is, what he does behind the scenes is not a gentleman. Can the Yao family he has gathered be a good thing? And the magistrate of Tong County, during the drought, did not do anything Even if he has some political achievements, he is still a mediocre person and does not do anything for the people. If the people below are like this, how can the loyal master be any better? "

"so what?"

"We can't let him take office, otherwise it will be a disaster for the people."

Gu Huanxi complained speechlessly, "Just the two of us? Do you look down on King Chu or do you look down on yourself?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "I didn't say to pull him down all at once and plan slowly. Isn't there the eldest prince as a buffer in the middle? Let's start by cutting off his influence. We will cut off as much as he cultivates. Let's see. If he wants to rebel in the future, let them fight while the old emperor is still here, otherwise he will definitely not be his opponent when it is the eldest prince's turn. "
