The Ascension of Ghosts

The servant was in his early twenties, not impressive in appearance, but calm in his demeanor. When he saw Lu Sheng, he bowed and said, "Lu Gongcao, the villain Wang Bao, is a servant of the Xie family. In the car. Lu Gongcao please."

Lu Sheng said, "You are not Xie Rong's servant, why do you want to confuse the public and fool me?"

Wang Bao hurriedly said: "Lu Gongcao, the villain dare not, the villain has never been a value in the eldest son's house."

Eldest son?

If Lu Sheng realized something, he didn't say much to Wang Bao, he just lifted his clothes and jumped into the carriage.

The interior of the carriage is very spacious, once the door is closed, the green curtains are drawn down, revealing nothing at all. There are two people sitting in the carriage, both of whom look very young. But he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a duck-blue robe, the older youth had handsome facial features, vaguely similar to Xie Rong, he cupped his hands and smiled at Lu Sheng: "Xie Ting, Lu Gongcao, this is my good friend Yun Ye, to be honest, we have something to ask for."

Lu Sheng had already guessed it, but now it seems that it is true. When he went to Xiao Lizhuang, he had a correspondence with Xie Ting. That noble young master cooperated with Habayashi Wei a lot, and his writing was kind and simple, without the slightest arrogance of a family Now that I see myself, I really look like a man.

He went straight to the point and asked for help, out of emotion and reason, but Lu Sheng couldn't refuse.

On the contrary, Yun Ye had a rigid face, young and mature, but he didn't say a word, just looked at the two with cold eyes.

Lu Sheng sat down on the opposite side, the carriage swayed slightly, and started to drive, he just said: "What's the matter with Mr. Xie, if Lu can do what he can, it is naturally obligatory."

Xie Ting looked at Yun Ye and asked, "If... why not let me..."

Yun Ye frowned deeply, but sat up straight, gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Gongcao, this matter involves my sister's name, even if Gongcao can't help you, please keep it a secret."

Lu Sheng also said solemnly: "Young Master Yun, don't worry."

This matter has to start from a month ago.

A month ago, the most grand event in Jianye City was the marriage of Yun Zizhang, the minister in the palace.

Yun Zizhang's father's family is not visible, but his grandmother is the only daughter of King Chu Yu. He has been gifted since he was a child, and has made great progress all the way. Now he is an important minister trusted by the Holy One, and he can stand against the prime minister.

Yun Zizhang has only one son and one daughter. The eldest daughter, Yun Chan, was married to Xue Ning, Xue Ge's grandson, more than a month ago.

The Shangshu in the palace and the elders of the pavilion became good friends of the Qin and Jin Dynasties, and even the emperor and the empress gave congratulatory gifts. The scenery was the same for a while, but it was a happy event that the world talked about, but there was a hidden secret behind it.

It turned out that on the day of the wedding, the bride disappeared from the boudoir and could not be found anywhere. In order to avoid complications, the Yun family had to find a substitute in a hurry, pretending to be the bride and paying homage to Xue Ning, and then tried their best to evade the world.

Both Xue Yun's family thought that Yunchan was dissatisfied, so they ran away from marriage before the battle, and what's more, they were afraid that they would elope with someone else, and the two families inevitably had a rift because of this.Mrs. Yun was even more anxious and fell ill in bed, unable to manage affairs.

Yun Zizhang arrested all the servants who served the young lady and tortured them severely, but he couldn't find any clues about Yunchan's adultery.Yunchan always likes to be quiet and not to move, even when walking through the courtyard of Yunfu, she is served by Buyu, she never has the skills to go through the layers of defenses of Yunfu alone, and escape without anyone knowing.

If there is no one to help, then you have run into evil.

Naturally, Shangshu Yun didn't believe it, and still asked people to investigate closely, but Madam Yun sent people to invite monks from Xingshan Temple, Taoist priests from Wuchen Temple, and even wild monks and Taoist priests who wandered here and didn't know the truth or falsehood, to practice at home. , but in fact it was a mess inside.

Yun Shangshu's eldest son is naturally the Young Master Yun Ye in front of him.Lu Sheng also heard about the marriage. At that time, Miss Yun got married, she was dressed in red makeup, and she was a noble daughter and a good son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, there is such a bitter secret behind it.

Lu Shengsu said: "Young Master Yun, do you want me to help you find someone? The security of the capital is originally my duty within the Habayashi Guard, and I am obliged to do so. It's just that there are so many people, I am not sure..."

Yun Ye's expression was a little weird, he hesitated to speak a few times, and finally said in a fit of anger: "This matter is strange, but we are in a hurry to go to the doctor now, and we don't care about this much..."

Yun Ye was seventeen years old and was still studying at the Imperial College.The Guozijian is full of honorable children, there are talented scholars with great ambitions and hard work, and there are also ignorant dudes who spend their days fighting chickens and running dogs.

The matter of Yunchan's disappearance was kept under wraps, Yun Ye was depressed, but he could only pretend nothing had happened to interact with everyone in the Imperial College, which made him hear a rumor.

Tracing back to the source of this rumor, it fell on Yu Zheng.

Yu Zheng is a descendant of a prominent family, twenty this year, the same age as Lu Sheng, but far more famous than Lu Sheng, almost on par with Sima Yu.

It's just that the more Sima lingered in the flowers, he was called romantic, so Yu Zheng only learned how to be obscene, and he heard about the evil deeds of lewd women and oppressing women from time to time.

This kind of prodigal, all the innocent people in the capital are afraid of getting involved with him. Mrs. Yu had no choice but to marry the daughter of a sixth-rank magistrate when Yu Zheng was 19 years old.Her natal family was weak, and her wife couldn't control her at all. After getting married, Yu Zheng became more and more insane, sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows, not knowing day and night, and even competed with Sima Yu for an actor.

Naturally, Sima Yu didn't want to have the same knowledge as him, so he just smiled and said: "Your child is naughty." He never saw the actor again.

About [-] days ago, Yu Zheng drank flowers and wine in the red silk hall, and lingered until the curfew was approaching. Because Mrs. Yu sent four or five people to urge him to go home, Yu Zheng had to leave the red silk hall and took a Carriage back home.

Yuzheng's mansion is located in Baimafang, west of Luoma Bridge, because he entered the inner city, the surrounding area is very quiet, and most of the houses have turned off the lights to rest.

When the carriage passed Luoxing Lane, Yu Zheng was drunk, and suddenly smelled a burst of sweet fragrance. This prodigal son has been soaked in red powder for many years, and he has no other skills. The ability to smell the fragrance and distinguish the beauty is the best in the capital.Yu Zheng opened his eyes immediately and looked out of the carriage.

The front and back of Luoxing Lane were hidden in the darkness, but the palace lanterns at the four corners of the carriage and the lanterns carried by the attendants of the Tongyu Mansion clearly illuminated a woman in red in front of her. , the phoenix hairpin in the temple hair holds a thumb-sized golden pearl, which glows faintly when the light shines, exuding boundless beauty and luxury.The woman covered her face with her sleeves, only showing half of her delicate and beautiful slapped face, which was as delicate and moving as white porcelain.

If it were an ordinary person, seeing a newlywed suddenly appearing in an empty alley in the middle of the night, they would have run away in fright.

However, Yu Zheng is not an ordinary person, the hungry ghost hurriedly ordered the driver to stop, and asked the woman to get into the carriage.

When Yu Zheng talked about it afterwards, he naturally whitewashed and spoke righteously: "I just saw a weak woman huddled by the roadside alone, and my heart was moved. It was cold and cold. How could I just watch the people lose their lives?" Killed? God still has the virtue of loving life. Although I, Yu Zheng, am not talented, I am not a cold and cold person."

There was only Yu Zheng and the woman in the carriage, and after the carriage had traveled no more than ten steps, they heard Yu Zheng screaming in horror, and the guards rushed up, but they saw Yu Zheng lying unconscious in the carriage with messy clothes, but the woman disappeared.

After that day, Yu Zheng woke up after being in a coma for several days. After arresting several attendants and coachmen to check the front and back, he was sure that it was not someone's conspiracy, but it was really a ghost.I don't know whether it was because I was overly frightened or because I was really sucked by the female ghost, and I was lingering on the sick bed, and I haven't recovered yet.

The news spread like wildfire, and it was spread to hundreds of thousands. Everyone said it vividly, as if they had seen it in person.

After more than ten days, there were four or five more people who claimed to have seen the female ghost. All of them woke up after several days of coma, and they are still seriously ill in bed and cannot get up.

Lu Sheng frowned slightly. The beautiful female ghost with a phoenix crown and xiapei wandered around the city of Jianye, picking young and flirtatious noblemen to absorb their energy. Even the third-rate scribes in Tonghuafang couldn't make up such clumsy ghost stories.

Yun Ye's expression became more and more painful, and even his hands on his knees were tightly clenched into fists, "...I met a few of them under the pretext of visiting a doctor, and everyone said that the female ghost was wearing a suit of clothes. The wedding dress of Qihuang Chaofeng, the phoenix hairpin holding a golden pearl in her temple hair... This is all the makeup of my sister when she disappeared. When a substitute was found later, it was only the phoenix dress from the embroidery workshop, and it was definitely not the same. The second golden pearl."

Lu Sheng said: "So you conclude that the rumored female ghost is Yunchan, and now you are looking for Lu, not to find people, but to catch ghosts?"

Yun Ye gritted his teeth and said, "My father doesn't believe me, but it's man-made or sneaky, and I always have to find out... Fortunately, my sister usually lives in seclusion, and those people have never seen her appearance. If they meet someone they know well someday of……"

Lu Sheng said: "I'm afraid you will lose face in the two houses of Yun and Xue."

"Face matters..." Suddenly, Yun Ye's eyes turned red, and he knelt in the carriage, hugging Lu Sheng's legs: "Gong Cao, please save my sister!"

Lu Sheng was caught off guard by this young man. The space in the carriage was limited, and he couldn't push or retreat, so he could only say, "Yun...Young Master, you get up first."

Xie Ting also persuaded: "Hao Ran, calm down."

After all, Yun Ye was young, and when he came back to his senses, his ears turned red, he let go of his hand, and sat back.

Lu Sheng said: "There is only one thing that I don't know about Lu...why don't you ask the alchemist to help you with this mysterious spirit matter, but come to find me?"

Yun Ye coughed, then turned to look at Xie Yu, "Brother Qizheng..."

Xie Ting smiled and said: "To be honest, the people in the village have reported to me clearly about the matter of Xiaoli Village. There are ghosts haunting my village. It took only one night for the meritorious service to resolve them easily. The people in the village are very grateful. Promise that when the autumn harvest comes next year, a big gift will be given to Gongcao."

Lu Sheng couldn't help but froze, thinking that it really had nothing to do with him, he was confused for a moment, but the carriage suddenly stopped.

The servant outside the car reported: "Young master, you are at the eldest son's residence."
