Daming prepares the emperor

Master Deng, who has been busy all day, is off work.

As the adjutant who defended the city during the Battle of Hongdu, when he came back, he had to report the loss, check the amount of various military expenditures, and worked hard for a long time.

On the way back, Deng Yu saw Li Shanchang's carriage. He was busy these days with Liu Bowen, who was in charge of military affairs documents. He didn't know why he also came back late, but it was at this time, and he didn't notice himself, so there was no need to go greet.

The road surface that has been exposed to the sun for a day is gradually cooling down. In summer, many shops are closed late, and they continue to do business with lanterns, and arrange tomorrow's goods by the way.

Knowing that there was nothing missing at home, Deng Yu still couldn't resist the lure of the smell of food under the temptation of the dim light, so he bought a jug of wine, a roast goose, and a watermelon that was so ripe that it would burst when knocked .

Holding the wine and goose by the red rope, holding the watermelon in the other hand, Deng Yu kicked the door, trying to let the night watchman let him in after hearing the sound.

After playing for a long time, no one answered.Deng Yu wondered that he himself was not a housekeeper. Fortunately, after marrying a wife, his wife was virtuous and intelligent. She replaced all the servants who were tired before, and beat them again. Now there is no problem. How could there be no problems? What about people on duty?

Putting down the watermelon, Deng Yu grabbed the copper ring, knocked on it, and shouted at the same time: "Where is the person? Where is the person! Come and open the door for me!"

This time the commotion was much louder, and finally someone came.Yao Laosi opened the door latch and let Deng Yu in, with a flustered expression and trembling hands and feet, as if the one who came back was not the master but a bandit.

"What's wrong! Something happened at home? Is it the wife or the young lady?"

"No, no." Yao Laosi waved his hand to welcome him in, then carefully closed the door, and said in panic, "Our house is haunted! Master, you should go to Madam's place first to have a look!"

"what?"

Deng Yu stuffed the things in his hand into Yao Laosi's arms, ignoring his oily body, and rushed to the front quickly, and at first glance, the lights in front of him were brilliant, bright, and candles were lit everywhere, every room was no exception , Even the several warehouses where the sundries are placed are bright.

"Why is it so extravagant and wasteful?" Deng Yu's expression turned ugly, "What do you want my colleagues to think of me tomorrow?"

"Madam told me." Yao Laosi said, "Madam regretted the order, but it's too late..."

"Okay, okay, I'm going to find her now."

Deng Yu couldn't figure out what was going on, haunted?How can it be!

He ran all the way to Cao's room, opened the door with a snap, and saw that the room was full of maidservants, noisily comforting, serving tea and water, lighting the lamp and adding oil, it was very lively.And on the bed in the middle, the wife in pajamas was crying so hard that the handkerchief could be wrung out, her shoulders shrugged, and no one dared to look at her.

"Ma'am? Ma'am!" Deng Yu's heart ached for an instant, and he forgot all his previous dissatisfaction. He pulled away everyone who was in the way, sat down beside her, hugged her and said, "Open your eyes first, Yao Laosi It’s haunted, what’s going on?”

"Master!" Hearing a familiar voice, Cao opened his eyes, grabbed his lapel desperately, choked up with sobs, "You're back."

"You all go out." Disgusted by the crowds here, Deng Yu waved them away.

Hearing that the number of people was going to decrease, Cao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but thinking that Deng Yu was already by her side, she still didn't say anything, just staring blankly at the door being closed.

"Still afraid?" Deng Yu was at a loss. "For my husband, I have killed countless enemies. I have made great achievements on the battlefield. I am a general with a title. My evil spirit is so fierce that when ordinary ghosts hit me, they immediately turn into flying ash."

"Our courtyard is my residence, so it is naturally blessed, there is no way there are ghosts hiding there. Madam is also the lady of a rich family, don't you understand this?"

"My concubine heard that ghosts have high morals, are not afraid of popularity, and are not afraid of Yanghuo..."

"Hey, ma'am, let's say something outrageous, what would a ghost of that level of cultivation come to harm you and me? Didn't they go straight to the marshal?"

Mrs. Cao was silent for a moment, and then said: "This statement is reasonable, and I have never thought of it, but there have been many changes in the mansion for many days. My dowry maid said that there is always a sound of chewing in the small kitchen, and the gardener also said that the flower garden There are inexplicable footprints inside, what's more, there are knife marks on the gate and the study..."

Deng Yu was startled at first, and then he suddenly said angrily: "Whose ghost would use a knife to hack the door? There must be thieves breaking in, and I will lead people to search for it!"

"Master!" Mrs. Cao held him back, "Don't go, master has been busy with business these few days, and my concubine has already asked Butler Yao to lead someone to go through the inside and outside of the mansion. There is no one else, so I invited a monk. Taoist priests come, but it doesn’t work at all.”

"Over?"

"It's all over!" Cao said earnestly.

Deng Yu still believed in Yao Lao Si's ability. The house is right here, so it is impossible for him not to catch the living. Gods and ghosts.

"Monks and priests...why don't you go to the town of demons?"

"The Zhenyao Department is under the command of Mr. Liu. My husband said that there will be no ghosts in the general's house. I think this is common sense. If I go to look for it rashly, I'm afraid it will be said that there is nothing wrong with me and secretly passed the song."

"I act aboveboard, so I'm afraid of this? If you have a problem, you have to talk about it, and you can solve it. You wait, there is a window that is open at night at the Demon Town, and I will report it."

"But Mr. Liu is half the teacher of the marshal's son. If your husband does this, you will offend the governor. If he is not happy, he will send you to a bitter and cold place to attack the Yuan army. What should we do?"

Deng Yu couldn't laugh or cry, and at the same time was a little angry. Thinking of Zhu Wenzheng's face, he felt sick to his stomach.

"Ma'am, is this what you are really worried about? As a subject, I should assist the young master. Besides, the governor is not an elite, arrogant and domineering. Why should I treat him differently? If you offend, you will offend. It's a pleasure!"

"You want me to be a widow at a young age?" Cao's eyes widened.

She is an authentic Jiangnan beauty, Wu Nong speaks softly, and is a little bird. When she was in her boudoir, she often read some rivers and lakes. Other girls admire talents and beauties, but she appreciates heroes. The mutual love at first sight was regarded as a quick marriage for the ancients.

It was only after she got married that she realized that the scriptures were all deceitful. The heroes are indeed chic and handsome, but they all die quickly!

Several sisters who were close to her became widows, which scared her to death. She knew it was inevitable and there was no way to prevent it, but she still worried about Deng Yu's safety every day. After a long time, there was no one left So cheerful before.

Seeing it in his heart, Deng Yu was very guilty, and he was almost obedient to her, and became a well-known wife in the army with strict control.

So when Cao said this, Deng Yu hesitated.He was very dissatisfied with Zhu Wenzheng, but he didn't want to harm his family because it was too immature, and he really couldn't figure out what the commander-in-chief meant to Zhu Wenzheng.

"Then what do you say?" He said helplessly.

Mrs. Cao wiped away her tears, but gradually calmed down: "Maybe it's because you didn't come back a few days ago, and the ghost is unscrupulous. You will sleep in my room tonight, and if you get overwhelmed, he might leave."

Deng Yu thought so too, after all, this ghost is not harmful to anyone, maybe he is not very good, he is a little ghost, somehow, he is not afraid of popularity, now that he is back, he will be scared to death.

"Then go to sleep! Turn off the lights, what does it look like, I have to tell you, you are afraid of the governor, are you not afraid of the officials? Refer to me, and say that I am extravagant and wasteful, that is enough."

Not to mention drinking, not to mention eating goose, Deng Yu didn't care about the watermelon at the door, lying beside Cao, pulled up the quilt, hugged his wife, and focused on suppressing ghosts.

"Why don't I go to an artist to paint a portrait and paste it on the door. I heard that Li Shimin did it in Tang Dynasty. He was afraid of his brother's revenge, so he posted Yu Chigong and Qin Qiong on it. Later, he became a door god."

Mrs. Cao was wrapped in a quilt, and was amused: "If you want to post it, it is also General Xu Da. Why post it to you, don't be ashamed, you are really a wangpo selling melons."

For some reason, seeing Deng Yu by her side, she was not afraid of anything anymore.

Deng Yu is full of courage, he has never been afraid, what kind of storm has he never seen?Is there anything more terrifying and bloody than a battlefield?

Before they knew it, the two fell asleep.

The night guard maids and servants who had been tossing outside the door all night couldn't bear it any longer. In the gentle night wind, they gradually closed their eyes, slid down the wall, and sat on the ground paralyzed.

The strange thing is that they slept like that, not only did they not snore, but they couldn't even hear the door being pushed open.

Two feet walked across the bed curtain step by step, leaving countless bloody footprints, and the moonlight shone on them, which was ominous and weird.

Suddenly, the silk curtain seemed to be grabbed out of thin air, and there were two more red handprints!

Hiss... very carefully, it was pulled apart, revealing a sleeping couple inside.

"Deng Yu..."

A fishy wind blew into Deng Yu's neck.

"what!!!"

Cao opened her eyes and screamed sharply. The voice rushed from the house to the roof, piercing the sky.

The lamp that had just been extinguished was lit again.

---

The next day was sunny and sunny, and the handsome mansion was peaceful and peaceful.

"What are you talking about? Haunted?"

"Exactly."

"Deng Yu's house can still be haunted?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise while putting on his clothes, "Are you sure it's Deng Yu?"

"It's not false." Wu Ce half-kneeled on the ground, respectfully said, "General Deng's house is bright all night, and everyone in the street saw it. The spies who planted in his house said that everything is strange, and there is indeed a ghost."

"Are there any casualties?"

"General Deng's wife was shocked, but she was fine."

Zhu Yuanzhang was dealing with all kinds of situations every day, and he didn't know some news from the Gongwei Division, which was perfectly normal.What Cao has done in recent days has been recorded in the book, that is, when things get serious, it is worth being notified by Wu Ce.

"Why didn't he go to the Demon Town?" Comrade Zhu said, "Do you think it's not good there?"

The tone of this sentence is cold, but if Wu Ce's answer is not very good, Zhu Yuanzhang will be angry, and he is not angry at the time, but angry when he suppresses it, and he will play a big game in the future.

"No, he was worried that the governor would be unhappy."

"... let's go down."

"Yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his clothes, put on his boots, washed his face casually, and then went outside. He wanted to see what was going on.

Before he could send someone to call Deng Yu over, his servants informed him that General Deng had arrived and was waiting outside to see him.

"Let him in."
