Chapter 99 Revisiting the Pang Mansion

Chapter 99 Revisiting the Pang Mansion

After Shi Wen'er woke up, she was already in her own room, and her husband Pang Zhongxin was sleeping on her body.There were bursts of dull pain in the head and lower body, thinking about what he seemed to have done last night, but thinking about it carefully, he was confused.With Pang Tianxin in his arms, he would think of Pang De inexplicably, and even himself would feel flushed...

After one month, Shi Wen'er began to feel lazy.Yao Shi invited a doctor from Yangzhou Prefecture to come to see a doctor, and the doctor smiled and congratulated Yao Shi after taking his pulse. "Shi Wen'er is pregnant." Pang's family was full of joy for a while, Pang Zhongxin only regarded it as the magic elixir, and Pang Tianming and Yao's also celebrated the success of the plan.There was another Pang De who was secretly happy. He was in a daze with Shi Wen'er that day and didn't know if it was an illusion. It wasn't until Tianming woke up in the study and went back to the room that he found a few long hairs on his shirt. There are two rows of clear tooth marks...

Shi Wen'er suddenly became the darling of the Pang family, but a man is not as good as a hundred days, and a flower is not as successful as a thousand days.The childbirth gave birth to a girl named Xiangyun, who fell into a postpartum wind and collapsed every day. After suffering for more than a year, her soul returned to the underworld.

Pang Xiangyun became the little girl who was loved by thousands of people, and she could get whatever she wanted.When Xiangyun was three years old, Mrs. Pang passed away.A few years later, the Yao family also let go, and Pang Xiangyun was even more favored by Pang Zhongxin and Pang De.Like Pound, Pang Xiangyun also likes to plant flowers and grass during the day, and Pang De loves Pang Xiangyun even more than Pang Zhongxin.

What happened that night was only known to Feng Shi, the cook, and was never mentioned to anyone.When Xiang Xiaotian mentioned Pound today, he told what he saw. His son You Shuibao died in the greenhouse for no apparent reason, and the greenhouse was Pound's favorite place...

This is also the first time You Futian heard about the secrets in Pang's residence, just like Chen Mengsheng and the others, he was so horrified that he couldn't speak for a long time.Feng said to You Futian disgustedly: "Just because you treat everyone in Pang's mansion as good people, maybe Shui Bao was killed by Pang De. This kind of person doesn't even keep his brothers' wives, and there is What can't be done?"

Shangguan Yanran said: "What happened to Pang Xiangyun afterwards? Did he know nothing about her life?"

You Futian pondered for a while and said: "Miss Pang probably doesn't know, Pang Zhongxin and Pang De both love Pang Xiangyun very much, the manager Pang De has been doting on Miss Pang since he was unmarried and had children in Pang's residence. .”

"Isn't it? Pang De had a big fight with Pang Zhongxin because of Ms. Pang's son-in-law." Feng continued.

Chen Mengsheng wondered, "Then why are you arguing?"

Feng said: "This is also what I heard from Hong Xing, the maid next to Ms. Pang. Ms. Pang just turned 16 years old. The people who came to Pang's mansion to propose marriages have already broken through the threshold of Pang's mansion. Master Pang Zhongxin He wanted to choose one of them to be his son-in-law. But Pang De, the manager, strongly opposed it, saying that Xiangyun should choose the man he likes by himself. The two had a big fight because of this, and finally had no choice but to It was based on Ms. Pang's own wishes. As a result, an embroidery building was built outside the gate of Pang's Mansion in Yangzhou Prefecture, and Pang Xiangyun was asked to choose her own husband. After three consecutive days of choosing a husband, Ms. Pang chose a scholar who was coming to take the exam, called Xu or something... ..."

Seeing that Feng Shi couldn't remember, You Futian blurted out, "Xu Ruoyi."

"What?" Brother and sister Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian shouted in surprise together, Jiang Meng stared blankly at the three of them for some reason.

Chen Mengsheng said: "But the scholar Xu Ruoyi who came from Gusu City to rush for the exam."

Feng said: "I don't know where it came from, but scholars should be real. Only those who have the reputation of scholars can come to Yangzhou Prefecture for the township examination."

Xiang Xiaotian cursed loudly: "What an ungrateful Xu Ruoyi, there is still a beautiful wife in Gusu City, but he is the son-in-law of the Pang Mansion in Yangzhou Mansion. Killed him alive!"

You Futian said in a daze: "Ms. Pang's family recruited a husband, and Xu Ruoyi didn't seem to have a big wedding. Later, it was only because of my family's Shuibao that he died suddenly in the conservatory. My wife and I were placed here by Master Pang, so we don't know anything about Pang's family. gone."

"Brother, don't be impatient. This matter has not been clarified yet, so don't make a premature assertion."

"Senior brother, sister Liu's family waited so long, but in the end she died at the hands of evil people. This must have something to do with Xu Ruoyi." Shangguan Yanran also said indignantly.

Chen Mengsheng waved his hand and said: "After Xu Ruoyi entered Pang's mansion, Liu Xiuxia died tragically at home, so Xu Ruoyi must have been involved. After I have investigated the case of You's family, I will go to Pang's mansion late at night to find out."

You Futian was shocked and said: "Sir, how do you want to investigate the case? After the child died, the body was brought back to the yamen by the magistrate of the county government, but the cause of death was not found in the yamen, and the body was brought back by the magistrate Master Zhu for investigation for a month or so. no result."

Feng said angrily: "You investigators have examined my son's body to pieces, but in the end you still can't find anything. My son, why is your life so miserable..."

When Chen Mengsheng heard this, he felt that something was wrong. If he had been inspected several times by the officials in the government, he would have disemboweled himself as Feng said, and hurriedly asked: "What will you do with your son's body after you bring it back?" Woolen cloth?"

You Futian grieved and said: "What should I do? What else can I do? Master Pang gave 100 taels of silver and invited some Taoist priests to perform a religious ceremony, and in the end it was set on fire..."

"Ah..." You Futian's words completely extinguished Chen Mengsheng's clues to investigate the case.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" You Futian saw that Jiang Meng, the general guarding the city, looked very respectful towards this black and strong man, and guessed that he must also be a member of the Gong family.

"You Bo, where is your son buried? A few of us will also go to pay homage to him." You Futian didn't expect these people to be strangers to him, but they were far better than those relatives and friends.

"My lord, don't worry, my son's Zhong Ying is in the west of the village two miles away." Chen Mengsheng and others bid farewell to the elders, got into Jiang Meng's carriage and headed west.

In the west of the village, You Shuibao's cemetery was found, but Chen Mengsheng couldn't summon You Shuibao's soul by chanting the incantation, so he had no choice but to go back to Jiangmeng's house in Yangzhou Prefecture...

When the lanterns first came on, Chen Mengsheng flew over the Pang Mansion like a ghost like a shadow, and hid himself with the help of tall trees.His eyes kept scanning the surroundings, this Pang Mansion was really too big.There are many houses in the front and back yards, side halls and main rooms, and some servants patrol the night from time to time.In the garden in the front yard yesterday during the day, there were seven or eight gardeners moving flower pots to the back yard, but Chen Mengsheng did not see the purple datura flower.

Chen Mengsheng stomped on the vertical ladder and followed the gardeners to the greenhouse in the backyard. The greenhouse was brightly lit and warm like spring.Chen Mengsheng jumped onto the lower beam of the greenhouse, and looked down to see that the entire greenhouse covers an area of ​​nearly a hundred acres, and there are more than a thousand pots of flowers of all kinds.The fragrance of flowers is refreshing, and the gardeners are bringing in the flowers that have been turned in the sun during the day.

With a crisp sound of "bang bang", the [-]- or [-]-year-old little gardener accidentally dropped a flowerpot with large pink flowers in his hand to the ground.The flowerpot broke into two halves immediately, and the little gardener was startled dumbfounded.

"Third boy, hurry up and find a similar flower pot, and send this Possector Pang's favorite Eighteen Phases for another flower pot." A gardener beside him said anxiously.

"You're such a frizzy kid. Those are the camellias that Director Pang bought from Dali Kingdom with a lot of money. Come on, let's help change the pots together. Jiang Nuyuan saw that everyone had no good fruit to eat."

All the gardeners started to put the camellia plant in the broken pot into the new pot, and filled the broken flower pot on the ground with mud into the new pot. As soon as the soil was compacted, someone outside the flower room shouted: : "What are you all doing? There are so many flowers that haven't been moved in yet, so you know to hide in the greenhouse to keep warm and be lazy. I can tell you that these flowers are worth more than your lives. If something goes wrong, you won't be careful. Skin."

When the gardener in the room heard the roar of the man outside the door, they were frightened and scattered to work.Chen Mengsheng was taken aback when he saw the person coming. The person was holding a bamboo basket covered with a black cloth, and he was carrying more than a dozen strange souls...

The gardeners were busy moving the flowers outside the house into the greenhouse, and left the greenhouse quietly after moving them.Only the man carrying the bamboo basket was left in the flower room. Seeing the gardeners leaving and walking away, he quickly stepped forward and closed the door.Chen Mengsheng could clearly see a scar on the back of the man's hand from the beam...

The man walked all the way to the deepest part of the greenhouse, squatted down and groped for the bricks on the brick wall of the greenhouse, and pulled out half of the bricks with his hands. Immediately, a hidden door appeared on the brick wall like canine teeth.The man stepped sideways into the secret door, and the secret door returned to its original state.

A moment later, when Chen Mengsheng was about to jump off, the secret door on the wall opened again.The man cursed and said: "You old bastard who doesn't know current affairs, let's see how long you can live. If it weren't for Mr. Pang's kindness and softness, he would have stabbed you into a human hedgehog." The man opened the door empty-handed and walked away...

Chen Mengsheng quietly came to the place where the man squatted just now, and carefully touched the bricks on the wall. Sure enough, there was a brick with two grooves in the seam, and he pulled it hard, and the sound of the machine turning came from behind the wall. open.

Behind the secret door is a steep stone staircase winding downwards, and there is a turpentine oil lamp on the stone staircase every ten steps.After Chen Mengsheng entered the secret door, he saw a fist-sized hole dug beside the secret door, and a stone horse stood in the hole.Turning the stone horse with his hand, the secret door was closed, and a cold ghostly aura rushed straight to Chen Mengsheng's back...

Walking down the stone ladder step by step, you can hear a strange sound that seems to be a smile but not a smile.After several twists and turns, they finally came to the underground secret room, where the strong smell of rotting corpses and blood rushed straight into people's nostrils.There are a total of ten stone houses in the underground secret room, and the smell of blood is coming out from the second stone house.Chen Mengsheng put his ear to the outside of the stone house to listen to the sound of dripping water inside the house.He slammed the door open, but the scene inside the door stunned Chen Mengsheng...
