i don't want to be emperor

After Zhang Su, who arrived in Ningcheng ahead of schedule, joined the imperial envoy's team, he started his disaster relief operation in full swing.After getting the promise from the current emperor, his methods of acting have also become much bolder and tougher. After a thorough investigation, it naturally touched the interests of many people.

It's a pity that, different from Qin Yi's imagination, these guys whose interests have been touched all blame Zhang Su and the current prime minister Wang Lang. They are obviously imperial envoys sent by the emperor, but none of these people People regard him as the emperor's person, from another aspect, it also shows the contempt these people have for the little emperor.

He didn't pay attention to the newly enthroned emperor at all.

Of course, what happened after Ning Cheng was unknown to Qin Yi and his group who had already left. The Zhang family brothers were left behind in Ning Cheng, while Xu Liang decided to stay with Zhang Su, a new friend. Protect him by his side, so Qin Yi and his party are only left with the three people who came to Ningcheng.

Of the three, Qin Yi was naturally the main one, so after he decided on his own direction, the other two naturally followed directly.But after advancing for two days, Liu Qingxuan seemed to have sensed something and asked, "Master, where are you going next?"

Qin Yi, who rode his horse and walked in front of the two, heard the words, and replied in a very relaxed tone: "Go to Lincheng."

When Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan heard the name of this city, they felt as if they had heard it somewhere before, but after recalling it for a while, they both remembered at the same time, this is what the little emperor said before, where King Li is located city?

In other words, the little emperor is going to find King Li? !

"Are you going to ask His Highness Li Wang about the soldiers in Liu Shichen's mansion?" Liu Qingxuan asked speculatively.

Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled dryly and said: "Yes, yes, I really want to ask Brother Huang about this matter."

Seeing his reaction, Hu Yin suddenly showed suspicion on his face: "You shouldn't, you have completely forgotten about it."

"How is it possible." Qin Yi's face straightened, "My memory is not so bad."

Even my self-proclaimed name came out, so I must have forgotten it.

The two who already knew Qin Yi thought in their hearts at the same time.

Since he didn't think of this before, then, in other words, the reason why the little emperor went to Lin City before was simply to see his brother, right?

Liu Qingxuan, who always felt that it was wrong for Qin Yi to go by like this, just wanted to persuade him to change his mind, when Qin Yi said as if changing the subject: "It looks like it's going to rain, let's find someone else quickly." Let's take shelter from the rain." After speaking, he accelerated his pace.

Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan looked at the sky at the same time, and it was indeed as Qin Yi said, the sky was covered by thick clouds at some point, and it looked gloomy that there would be heavy rain pouring down at any time.

The two who also didn't want to drive in the heavy rain also speeded up. After galloping for about a stick of incense, the three of them saw the house hidden in the woods by the roadside at the same time.

After turning the next intersection, what caught my eye was a huge Yi Zhuang.

Although the two big characters of Yizhuang are engraved on the door, judging from the structure of the whole building, it looks more like a manor, such as the Liuyuan of Liu Yuan's family, where wealthy businessmen live.

It seems that this Yizhuang seems to be transformed from a dilapidated manor, and the people who transformed it didn't pay much attention, so the Yizhuang still basically maintains the original appearance of the manor.

Where the door should have been, the door panel has been removed, so the three of them got off their horses and walked in directly through the door.Like other yizhuang, this somewhat special yizhuang is also quite quiet. After passing through the front hall with some stone pillars in a mess, they tied the horses to the pillars of the porch, and then pushed away the concealed Yes, the front door.

When the door was pushed open, both Liu Qingxuan and Hu Yin were taken aback by the ferocious face that suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, before realizing that it was a ferocious... Zhong Kui statue?

This was supposed to be the front hall of the manor. Although all the furniture and other things inside have been removed, the area is not too large. The statue placed in the center is particularly abrupt.Moreover, even if it is because of one's own beliefs or fear of the dead, generally speaking, a Zhong Kui statue will not be enshrined.

"There are so many uninvited guests today." The hoarse male voice suddenly attracted the attention of the three of them. The three of them followed the sound and saw a man with a hunched body and gray hair walking through the small door on the right side of Zhong Kui's statue. Come in, approach them slowly, and say in a hoarse voice, "I'm Liu Li, the corpse guard here."

The so-called corpse guard, also known as the corpse collector, is the person in charge of collecting corpses in Yizhuang.The corpse keeper is generally hired by the local yamen to be responsible for handling the unclaimed corpses, sorting them out, collecting them, and burying them.Most people would not like to be with corpses all day long, so even if the salary of corpse keeper is quite high, few people are willing to accept this job.

The man in front of him has gray hair, a stooped figure, and his face is full of vicissitudes. He also seems to have some inconvenience in his legs and feet, and his walking speed is quite slow. It seems that he would accept this kind of work because of the hardship of life and no relatives. people.

"Excuse me, Brother Liu." Liu Qingxuan cupped his hands at him, "It's getting dark, and there is no place to stay nearby. The few of us want to stay here for one night. I wonder if Brother Liu can make it easier."

Liu Li walked slowly to the altar of the statue of Zhong Kui, and skillfully took out incense candles from the cabinet under the altar, and said, "The courtyard on the left is used to put corpses, and there are a few vacant rooms in the courtyard on the right." Before you, there are two groups of people who have already lived in, please pay attention when you choose the room." He said here, paused for a while, and continued, "Of course, if you don't mind being with corpses, you can You can go to the yard on the left to rest."

Liu Li's attitude is far from being kind, but among the corpse guards, there are not a few guys with weird attitudes, so his behavior is considered good.Ignoring the slightly ironic words behind him, it is still necessary to thank him first.

"Thank you, brother Liu." Liu Qingxuan bowed to him, seeing that the other party had no intention of talking to them at all, so she didn't stay any longer, walked out from the small door on the right side of the front hall, and came to the courtyard of this yizhuang.

The courtyard of the Yizhuang is very large, or the manor that has been transformed into a Yizhuang is very large. There are three arches in the courtyard. In addition to the arches leading to the left and right courtyards mentioned by Liu Shichen just now, there is also one at the rear that is probably a passageway. The arched door to the backyard, but that door was locked.

Qin Yi and the others were not overly curious, so when they saw the locked door, they didn't have any intention of opening it to see what happened. Instead, they walked in according to what Liu Shichen said. into the courtyard on the right.

As Liu Li said, the yard is huge and there are many vacant rooms.When Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan walked into the courtyard, they knew which two rooms were already occupied. After Liu Qingxuan pointed out the occupied rooms to Qin Yi, Qin Yi walked to the other unoccupied rooms.

Pushing open one of the doors, a large guest room divided into inner room and outer room came into view.The room has basic furniture and furnishings, and when you run your fingers over the edge of the bed, there is not much dust, and it is unexpectedly clean.

It's fine if you don't sell the furniture here, but you still come to clean it every day?The corpse guard here is really weird.

The three of Qin Yi did not live separately, but directly lived in a larger guest room. Qin Yi slept in the inner room, while Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan slept in the outer room.

While they were making their beds, the sky, which had been overcast for so long, finally began to rain.At the beginning, it was just a drop or two, and soon it became a rain curtain, smashing down with a crackling sound.

Although this Yizhuang is a bit dilapidated, but fortunately the room is still leak-proof, which made both Hu Yin and Liu Qingxuan heave a sigh of relief.

At this time, in the front hall of Yizhuang, the door of the front hall closed by Liu Li was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and several people who were wet by the rain rushed in from the door.Judging from the attire of these people, it seems that they are a wealthy businessman with several servants.

Still staying in the front hall, Liu Li, who was cleaning Zhong Kui's portrait, looked up at the group of people, and before they could say anything, he told them what he had said to Qin Yi and the other three before.

After hearing Liu Li's words, the group of people froze for a moment, and one of them, a man dressed as a family servant, asked, "We have been walking in the rain for a long time, and our clothes are already soaked, can this brother sell us some clothes?" The firewood is also good for drying the clothes on your body.”

Liu Li pointed to the small door on the left: "In the second room from there, there are some firewood. You don't need the money, but be careful when you light the fire, don't light things in the room."

The servant looked back at the man dressed as a rich businessman, the man nodded at him, and he turned his head and cupped his hands at Liu Li: "Thank you." Then he called the other two servants to carry firewood together.The rest of the people left through the small door on the right and went to the backyard to choose a room.

Not long after, the rich businessman and his party entered a guest room, moved the furniture from the outside room aside, leaving a large space in the middle, lit the firewood brought by the servants, and started to bake the clothes.Among the undressed servants, the only servant who was still sitting by the fire with his wet clothes on was very conspicuous without any movement.

The rich businessman looked at the servant, seemed to have thought of something, frowned and asked, "Lan'er, didn't I tell you to stay at home? Why did you come out again?"

The author has something to say: Hiding from the rain does not have to be in a ruined temple, Yizhuang is also good

It's suitable for haunting
