Jalang

Wei Gongqing looked blankly at the extra palm in front of him, he didn't know what Chonghua wanted.

He lowered his head and looked at himself. Apart from his clothes, he only had two bowls left in his hand.

He looked at Chonghua, moved the bowl in his hand, 'Do you want this? '

Zhonghua nodded.

But Gongqing handed over the bowl, and Chonghua took one from it without saying a word.

Wei Gongqing looked at the remaining bowls inexplicably, at this moment Chonghua took out the silk silk and began to wipe the chopsticks.

The answer was revealed, but Gongqing was a little speechless.

He didn't know what to say, Chonghua completely ignored him again, stood dryly for a while, he simply put a bowl of porridge for himself, and started to eat first.

Chong Huazai wiped the chopsticks carefully. This is ancient times, but if it is modern, the paint on the chopsticks would be wiped off by him. It is lucky that there is no fire.

After Chonghua wiped the chopsticks, he started to wipe the bowl again, but Gongqing's porridge was half gone. He didn't pay attention to Chonghua at first, but his attention was gradually attracted by him...

But Gongqing's eating speed slowed down.

He didn't pick up any vegetables anymore, he drank the porridge absent-mindedly, his eyes kept looking at Chonghua, he really didn't know what to wipe with it, facing the delicious food, Chonghua even He didn't even raise his head, and he was very careful, not a single place was left behind. He felt that the bowl might shine after it was wiped.

How much Chonghua disliked the dishes in his house.

Wei Gongqing also drank the last mouthful of porridge, and he finished it.

Should he continue to wipe with him, or should he rush the food to cool down?

Before Gongqing could make up his mind, Butler Mei came running over.

"Master, something has happened!" As soon as he finished shouting, Wei Gongqing's heart skipped a beat.

……

There are not many servants in the mansion, but the food is also a problem, but Gongqing made them a few meals, and then he couldn't stand it anymore. The meal for three or two people is different from a group of people, so after hiring a cook A few days ago, Wei Gongqing briefly taught Tongsuo to cook a few dishes.

After all, Tongsuo is also a woman, and after teaching this meal a few times, the dishes are pretty decent, so the servants' meals have been handed over to Tongsuo to take care of them recently.

Early this morning, when Tongsuo was cooking, she found that there was not enough salt, so she went to the Salt Department while it was still early. As soon as the copper lock is gone, it returns.

At first, no one paid attention to it, after all, it was not time for dinner, until someone knocked on the door and asked Steward Mei to go to the west gate.

Steward Mei asked what was the matter with that person, but the other party only said that he knew it when he went, and he ran away without waiting for Steward Mei after he finished speaking.

Steward Mei saw that his expression was wrong, so he didn't dare to delay, and hurried to the west gate, only to find that there were people standing in front of the notice board by the west gate, and when they saw him, everyone made way for him. Butler Mei saw that a brand new piece of paper was pasted on it...

The content on the paper was very simple, the bronze lock was in their hands, and they wanted her to live, and after three days, Wei Gongqing asked Wei Gongqing to collect three thousand silver coins and send them to the abandoned inn outside the west gate.

Don't wait until the time is out, waiting for the body to be collected.

Steward Mei tore off the paper amidst the discussion of the crowd. When he returned home, he clearly felt that the eyes of the crowd were not sympathy, but friendliness.

……

Wei Gongqing looked at the paper on the table, the ink on it was no longer fresh, it seemed that the other party had prepared long ago, waiting for the people in their house to throw themselves into the trap, not just the copper lock, any servant would Yes, because it says 'the servants of the Death Mansion are in our hands'.

There were really not many clues on that piece of paper, and there were no comparisons such as fingerprints and handwriting in this era. He looked at it, finally folded the paper, and put it in his arms.

'I'm going out for a while, you stay in the mansion, tell everyone to go out today, what's the matter, wait until I come back.Also, try to hide this matter as much as possible. If everyone finds out and find a way to appease them, I will save Tongsuo. Now we can't make a mess first. '

"I understand." The situation was serious, and Steward Mei also had a serious face.

Wei Gongqing nodded, and before going out, he smiled apologetically at Chonghua, "Sorry, I made you laugh, take it easy, I have something to go out of the house." '

After Wei Gongqing finished speaking, he left like the wind.

Chonghua held the bowl, still silent, but raised his head when Wei Gongqing was speaking.

But Gongqing went to the government first.

He told the paper and the clues he could provide, and he also showed the seriousness of the matter, but the county magistrate just accepted the evidence and asked him to go back and listen to the news.

It was inconvenient for him to speak, and he had no chance to fight for it, but Gongqing was clear in his heart, and the government would not intervene in this matter, at most a few perfunctory words.

He still has to figure it out on his own.

But three thousand grains of silver, where would he get it.

Shixiu left a large amount of money, but spent and used, there is at most one thousand left now, that guy has never been seen, even if he sells the house, there is not that much money, besides, the house is not worth it at all. Someone will accept it.

Wei Gongqing walked back with heavy steps. He was full of thoughts and didn't pay attention to his direction at all. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had already entered the busy city.

Go the wrong way.

He can only turn back.

Since the last time he picked up Xingxiu, he has hardly stepped out of Xingfu. On the one hand, he was afraid of being found by Jiang Mu, and on the other hand, he didn't want to be ridiculed and excluded for no reason.

But the more he thinks about something, the more he thinks about something.

"Huh? Isn't that the mute from the Death Palace?"

I don't know who yelled, and soon everyone's attention was focused on him, and everyone pointed at him, but there was no good word.

"You're crazy! You don't want your tongue anymore? I don't know if he is dumb, his tongue will be cut off!" Someone stopped him softly, with anxiety in that voice.

"Pull it down, and cut off your tongue, you can't protect yourself! Besides, he is dumb, why don't people talk about it?" It was a voice from another direction, and everyone's eyes turned there. Everyone was looking at him, and smiled complacently, "I don't know if you count the time, but the time limit for this month has come, the owner of that house, have you seen each other again?"

As soon as this person said it, someone gasped immediately, and the discussion became louder and louder.

"Don't tell me, I really haven't seen you, how long has it been?"

"It seems that this is more ominous..."

"Isn't this nonsense! There are no people who entered that house, but tell me, how many survived!"

They were talking about the bad luck of the death mansion, and the death repair.

Wei Gongqing continued to move forward, but those voices were behind him, separated by the same distance, without any reduction.

It's not that everyone followed him, but that everyone was pointing at him and talking about it along the way.

What started as gossip at first turned into personal attacks.

This topic still revolves around knowing that the house is a haunted house, it doesn't matter if you die, but you still have to implicate others, which is not much different from what the warehouse owner said that day.

Shixiu 'died', that's retribution, but now it's a good thing, a girl with a good copper lock, was snatched away by bad guys before she got married, good luck is just being harmed, this is bad luck, I'm afraid even I can't save my life.

They also said that the time has come for the death house, and bad luck has begun to come true.

The rest is all about scolding them for harming others and letting them die earlier.

"Let him go crazy, the grandson who came out of nowhere dared to go to Kuanyang City to do evil, damn it, this is the retribution, the dead one didn't know how miserable he died, I'm afraid he didn't even have a whole body Already! This is the fate of overreaching!"

This way, Wei Gongqing didn't pay attention to it, but when he heard this, he stopped.

Despite the chaos around him, he could clearly distinguish where the sound was coming from.

Wei Gongqing looked over.

With just one glance, he turned his head around, but when he looked at that person, he couldn't say a word, and his brain went blank.

Wei Gongqing looked extremely weak, anyone could push him down, but that look made him, who was tall and tall, feel weak in his knees.

……

Back at the death mansion, Wei Gongqing first counted the bank deposits in the mansion, even if it was sold off, even the clothes and furniture would not be enough for half of the ransom.

This busy work lasted for a whole day, but Gongqing didn't drink a drop of water. Butler Mei was also worried when he saw him like this. Anyway, Weigongqing is also his master. He has paid a lot for the change of this house, and now he is also working hard for the death house.

"Master, take a sip of tea and take a break."

When Wei Gongqing saw Steward Mei, he put away the account book in his hand, "You came just in time, I have something to ask you." '

Steward Mei stood still by his table, while Wei Gongqing sipped his tea and asked, "What did Shi Xiu do outside a while ago?" '

Butler Mei was taken aback, just as he was about to speak, the tea bowl in Wei Gongqing's hand was placed on the table with a bang, and the tea in it splashed all over his hands, "You'd better tell me the truth. '

Wanxiu explained that the incident must be kept from Wei Gongqing. If he found out, Wan Xiu asked only him. It can be seen that Wei Gongqing is like this. Butler Mei knew that he couldn't hide it. After hesitating for a moment, he still told the truth. .

Shi Xiu went to find Xie Zude, and he pulled out his tongue, shocking the whole Kuanyang.

This is not far from Wei Gongqing's guess.

Just because he doesn't leave the mansion doesn't mean he doesn't know anything. Death Xiu disappeared for a whole day without any reason. The next day, all the problems in the death mansion were solved. There were servants, everything needed in the mansion, and the brand. It was successfully hung up, he knew that Suixiu must have used some means, but he pretended not to know if Suixiu didn't say anything, the process was not important, as long as he knew about it.

It's just that he never thought that Sixiu would actually pull out his tongue.

The reason for this was simply because Xie Zude called him dumb.

Shixiu doesn't allow anyone to insult him, even if it's just a casual name.

That reckless spirit beast.

However, there was a sudden sense of satisfaction.

No one has ever been so kind to him, thinking about him, standing up for him.

Wei Gongqing smiled, and when he looked up, he found that Chonghua was standing at his door at some point, and Chonghua had seen all of his appearance.

Wei Gongqing didn't know if he had lost his composure just now, so he hurriedly invited Chonghua into the room, "It's so late, what do you want me to do?" '

Chonghua didn't speak, but instead glanced at Steward Mei, who looked back at him innocently, brother, you can pretend that I don't exist.

But later, Butler Mei was still 'invited' out.

They were the only ones left in the room, but Gongqing signaled that he had something to say, but it didn't matter, and then closed the account book that was about to be torn apart, but before he let go of his hand, his face was lightly touched...

Chonghua stroked his face with his index finger.

But Gongqing looked up.

"Help you heal."
