Brocade clothing

Chapter 61 Detecting the Haunted House
The peddler led Chu Qing and the others into the old house. Because no one lived in it for a long time, the weeds in the corner grew almost half a person's height.Looking from a distance, the old house is very barren, with fallen leaves all over the ground. It is obvious that not only no one dares to come in to clean it, but also no one cares about it.

"This, this house is a bit old, but there are many houses and they are spacious. You will definitely not lose money if you buy them." The small peddler managed to catch one, and it seemed that even outsiders, if they were from Yancheng, would walk around the old house. , How dare he come to see the room, but when he said that, he felt guilty and didn't dare to meet the eyes of Chu Qing and the three of them.

"It's a good place." Chu Qing said yes and no.

"Hey! You still have good eyesight!" The small peddler was overjoyed, but he praised Chu lightly.

"However, I'm more curious about what happened to the Ge family earlier." Chu Qing showed her white teeth to the small vendor, which made the small vendor tremble.

"Young master, young master, do you know?"

"Yeah, but if it's really a good place, it's not impossible to buy it." Chu Qing naturally wouldn't say no to buying it, otherwise, people might just drive them out.

"...Hey, this feeling is good. Since the young master already knows, then I don't need to hide it. This house has been dead for so long, and then it was rumored to be haunted for some reason. Dare to buy it."

"It's rumored to be haunted? Isn't it true that the current owner has encountered it?"

"Where, it was spread by outsiders. Later, the maids and servants in the mansion always thought it was true. Later, the rumor became more and more evil. Master Chai, who entrusted me to do it, hurriedly bought a new house to live in. No, but Because the rumors were too fierce back then, it hasn’t been sold for so many years. Hey.” The small peddler had a bunch of keys pinned to his waist, and opened the doors of the house one by one.

"I want to go to the place where the accident happened. I heard that the accident happened in the main courtyard. After they were killed, they were piled up there and burned again." Chu Qing asked.

"My lord, you are so courageous, you dare to say it in this house."

"I'm not afraid of the blue sky, what are you afraid of?" Chu Qing laughed: "Take me there."

"My lord, I can tell. You guys didn't come here to buy the house sincerely, did you? It's just that people from the government came to investigate the case secretly? That's how it's all played out in the scriptures." The small peddler said mysteriously.

"Then will you show us?" Chu Qing blinked: "If it is really broken, maybe your house will be sold."

The small peddler's eyes lit up, and he patted his thigh: "Okay! I'm not going to do business today, I'm a little old man, so I'll take a stroll with you guys!"

The old house of Ge Mansion, the main courtyard.

As soon as the door of the compound was pushed open, the first thing that caught the eye was the towering tree in the main courtyard, almost towering into the sky, but the blue bricks connected to the tree roots were black and charred, because this is the largest tree in the mansion. Haunted house, so even if the current owner bought this place, he specifically avoided the main courtyard, because it was only slightly repaired, and the scorched traces of the year were still there.

"Hey, it was really miserable back then. I heard that there were old people and children. I don't know who is so cruel. What a hatred, even the old people and children will not be spared." The small peddler said with emotion.

"I heard that there was a survivor back then, the old housekeeper. Are you serious?" Chu Qing asked.

"I don't know about this, but it's been so many years, who knows if the old housekeeper is still here..." The small vendor helped Chu Qing open a few rooms in the main courtyard, and dared not go in again: "Three Young master, I'll wait for you outside, it's too dark and cold here, it's weird." After finishing speaking, before Chu Qing could speak, she ran outside the main courtyard and waved to the three of them.

Chu Qing didn't take it seriously, she walked in, because most of it was burned, the inside was very messy, and it had been a long time, a smell of decaying vegetation hit her nostrils, and dust flew around.

"Master, Mr. Chu, this place is too dirty, I'd better go in and have a look." Yu Zufeng asked, afraid that there might be something unclean here, it would be bad if it gets on the master.

Chu Qing walked in first, shook her head and said, "Let Brother Li go out." It's better to go and see this kind of thing by herself, and let others go, she is worried, if any important clues are left behind, so A few days can be wasted busy.

Li Tianxiao saw Chu Qing go in, and walked in directly.

Yu Gufeng who was completely ignored: "..." I am so tired, is he also completely kind?But why are the two sons totally ungrateful?
Chu Qing walked from the outer room to the inner room. The inner room was burned more thoroughly. Half of the window lattices were ruined and not repaired. There were scorched marks everywhere. They must have been cleaned up, except for some burnt furniture. , everything else has been moved cleanly.A thick layer of ash fell on the ground, leaving a footprint when one stepped on it.The only one that was relatively complete was probably a dressing table. The shadow reflected in the bronze mirror was blurry. Chu Qing walked over and wiped the surface of the bronze mirror with her fingertips, and it was dust again.

Li Tianxiao's expression moved slightly, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and let Chu Qing act.

After going around for a while, with nothing to gain, Chu Qing returned to the vanity mirror: "This move is really thorough, not even a veil or a thread is left behind."

"After so many years, even if there are some left, they must have been scraped by the servants of the previous owner several times." So, where will there be anything left?
Chu Qing knew it too, but she just couldn't be reconciled.

She opened the grid under the dressing table, and it was still empty inside.

She let out a long sigh, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly stopped and frowned: "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Li Tianxiao had been paying attention to her expression, and seeing this, he couldn't help asking.

Chu Qing opened the grid even further, the light in the room was not very bright, she wasn't sure if she saw it wrong.

"This flower looks familiar." Chu Qing said.

Li Tianxiao also leaned over to take a look. It was a flower, but because it had been too long, it was partly blurred by dust, so it was not very clear. He took the veil handed over by Yu Zufeng and wiped the inside again. After the lines became clear, Chu let out a soft "Huh".

"how?"

"Come and see, doesn't it look familiar? Ge Sanghua." Chu Qing said.

She directly unloaded the secret compartment and handed it to the two of them.

Yu Banfeng shouted in a low voice: "It looks familiar, but I forgot where I saw it."

Chu Qing's eyes sparkled brightly: "I always thought Gesang flower was just a flower, but now think about it, Gesang Gesang, isn't the homonym for 'Ge'." This is definitely the family flower of the Ge family.

In other words, doesn't this Ge Sanghua represent the Ge family?

After hearing Chu Qing's explanation, Li Tianxiao's eyes lit up: "That person?"

Chu Qing nodded: "Yes, let's go and block people."

The two left directly.

Yu Gufeng still looked confused: "No, master, Mr. Chu, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand at all? Who are you going to block?"

Chu Qing and the others went to the gambling house again, went in and circled around, and they caught the man smoothly, and brought him back to the dark alley.

Seeing that it was still Chu Qing and the other three, the man immediately knelt down: "Master, please forgive me! I, I just feel itchy..."

"Didn't I tell you not to gamble?" Chu Qing looked at him condescendingly, her voice was so cold that she would stab the little bastard in the next moment.The one kneeling in front of Chu Qing was the gambler who robbed them earlier.

"This, this... the small one is just..."

"Just what?" Chu Qing squatted down and lifted the man's face.

Li Tianxiao, who was behind him, looked at Chu Qing's hand on the little gangster's face, frowned, but didn't say anything.

The little gangster was terrified: "Master, son, what are you going to do?!"

"Don't do anything, I think your face is quite clean." Chu Qing threatened him.

"What, what?"

"I want to add something to you." Chu Qing grinned, making the little gangster tremble in fright.

"My lord, please spare me!"

"Do you want to spare your life? That's fine. I'll ask you a few things. If I'm satisfied with your answer, I'll let you go. Otherwise, I don't mind if there is one less person in Yancheng today."

"Young master..." The little gangster's voice trembled, his body softened, and he almost fell onto Chu Qing in fright.

Li Tianxiao couldn't stand it any longer, so he directly grabbed the opponent by his back collar and lifted him up.

Chu Qing asked directly: "Where does your family live?"

The little gangster was terrified: "What are you going to do, son?"

"What? Don't want to say?"

"The small house is as flat as a wash, son, you must not use your brains."

"Do you think your house is worth my robbing? Do you want to tell me?" Chu Qing touched his chest twice, and then took out the previous dagger. Sanghua is very conspicuous.Chu Qing looked back, and Yu Zhufeng handed over the grid that was removed earlier, and compared it under the sunlight, it was exactly the same.

"My lord? That, that dagger is mine..." The man hummed softly.

"It's yours? Are you sure? Didn't you say last time that your father's former master gave it to your father? Why did you change it to yours now?"

"My father's, isn't that, isn't that mine..." the man continued in a low voice.

"...Your father raised such a bad son like you, so he must be very depressed. Get up!" Chu Qing pulled the man up, and asked him, probably not knowing why: "Take us to see your father!"

"My son, what do you want to do?!" The man was terrified.

"Robbery!" Chu Qing was annoyed, what else could he do with his clinking poor appearance?
The man led them around, and in the end he didn't know where he went, so he stood in front of a broken wall and tiles. If the man hadn't brought them here himself, he would have thought it was a ruin from the outside. It is impossible to think that people can live in it.

"Your father lives here?" Chu Qing asked.

"Yes, yes, I live here too..."

"That's why you still gamble?"

"What if, what if I can make money... I can let my father live a good life..." When the man said this, he probably felt guilty, and his eyes rolled around.
