Nongmen Shenjue

The Shen family's most haunted garden was the garden. People privately discussed that it was because the garden had a lot of plants and trees and was very dark, that's why the female ghosts were entrenched here.The monks performed a ceremony in the garden at night, and all the servants came to watch, and kept praying with their palms together, not to mention how sincere they were.

"Masters, you have worked hard." The leader of the Shen family is not Mrs. Qu, but Mrs. Huafa, the old lady of the Shen family.Seven years ago, the old lady was still alive.It is also the old lady's intention to invite monks and Taoist priests to do things this time, otherwise even the eldest daughter-in-law Qu would not dare to make decisions without authorization.

The old lady patted Qu's hand: "Master, please settle down the masters."

Qu's appearance is beautiful, with soft eyebrows and eyes: "Yes, mother, don't worry, the daughter-in-law will definitely manage well."

"Yeah." The old lady nodded, but she didn't see any affection for Mrs. Qu.The woman supporting her is the second daughter-in-law, she is more submissive than Qu's.

Qu Shi watched the group go far away, then straightened his back, and orderly explained to the servants to do things.Compared to the other servants who were shy and fearful towards the garden, Qu's face was indifferent, without any fear, and even walked around the garden before leaving, and left only after seeing nothing wrong.

When the crowd dispersed and the night darkened, the Shen family also became quiet.

The resting place of the monks is in the garden. The purpose is very simple. If the female ghost appears, the monks have to resolve it.In the middle of the night, a young monk got up at night, how could he know that as soon as he came out of the house, he raised his eyes and saw a white shadow among the shadowy flowers and trees, the night wind blew up the white skirt, fluttering, and the figure of the female ghost seemed to be fluttering Forward.Probably because she noticed the little monk, the female ghost turned her head and looked over. The little monk screamed "ah", and she fell into a faint.

There was a cry in the silent night, which was very clear.

Soon the Shen family was alarmed, and the monks also woke up before.

The Shen family came from outside the garden, and the monks were in the garden, but when the two parties gathered, no one mentioned the encounter with the female ghost.After waiting to wake up the little monk, everyone was horrified when they learned that the female ghost had appeared.But they were so numerous that they held up lanterns and searched all over the garden, but they didn't see a single ghost.

Now, not to mention the monks, the expressions of the members of the Shen family became even more ugly.

"Brother Mu, why did you come here?" Chen Shiliu and Mu Lin searched for them, looked at the wild and neglected flowers and plants in front of them, and said with emotion: "This is Shen's garden, no one takes care of it, It's all gone."

Mu Qingyan was standing in a corner of the garden. There was a well here. Looking down, the well was not too deep and there was water.

"What?" Wen Jixue stayed by his side the entire time, knowing that he had just used the ability.

"There should be a passage under this well." It was clear from the backtracking that the female ghost escaped the search of the crowd and got into this well.Immediately, he had an idea and told Mu Lin about this: "Brother, you should find someone to take a look. I suspect that this well can lead to the secret room under the small courtyard, maybe, more than that."

The Shen family would definitely not dig a hole under their own house to play. Usually, the underground passage is dug for secret access. Although this well is next to the wall of the back garden, it is still within the range of the Shen family after all. He couldn't help but guess. , will there be another passage leading to somewhere outside?

During the years of war, people either hid food, or hid a way out. If the secret room was a way to hide food, the Shen family would definitely think of a way out.It's just that this is not a small move, if the Shen family really hid such a way, it can be described as a great courage.

To verify, you have to find someone to go down the well and have a look.

Mu Lin was very surprised, but since it was a clue, he immediately went to find someone.

Wen Jixue stared at the well for a while, and said: "This well is too shallow. Usually the wells in the corner of the garden are used to water the garden. If there is a lot of water in the area, it is better to say that the well is shallow, but this The water in the well is not deep, it is a little cloudy, maybe it is only a foot deep."

Mu Qingyan followed along and speculated: "Then, could it be backfilling? If there is a passage, in order to hide certain things, just fill part of the well?"

"The servants of the Shen family who tend the garden must know."

In the end, this matter was taken over by Chen Shiliu. He also had his own news network in the county, so he thought it would be easy to inquire about such a trivial matter.

Mullin quickly found someone.

The well was not deep, and people put ropes around their waists, and scooped up the water first after going down.Sure enough, as Wen Jixue said, the water is very shallow, and it will be drained to the bottom with a bucket. This water is more like it has been saved from rain before.Then it was digging downwards, Mu Qingyan was always observing the situation on the side of the well.The two of them took turns digging down. After digging about three or four feet, there was finally a change.

"There seems to be a hole at the bottom of the well, it's quite big."

As the people below said, they began to clean up. When the waste soil was cleared away, a hole two or three feet high was exposed.The hole is surrounded by bricks, some water seepage, the ground is compacted soil, but some water has seeped over time, and there are all kinds of bugs crawling in the cracks of the bricks, and the smell is very stuffy and unpleasant.

"Hey, the bricks used here are different, not bricks, but stones." The people below did not dare to crawl into the tunnel rashly, and stood at the bottom of the well to observe, only to find that there was something strange on the side of the well facing the passage.Wipe off all the dirt on it, and there is a hole with the same height of two feet, the difference is that this hole is blocked by stones.

The mouth of the well is limited, and it is impossible to go down to see all of them. Fortunately, the well is not very deep, and you can see clearly when you bend down and look down.

Chen Shiliu was speechless: "I didn't expect that there really is an underground passage."

Wen Jixue said: "It should have been built in the early years just in case."

"Wouldn't it be convenient for Shen Youyun to know?" Chen Shiliu pondered.

Mu Qingyan said: "I want to meet Qu Shi."

Mu Lin nodded: "Exactly, by the way, ask her about the well."

When leaving the old house, Wen Jixue asked him in a low voice: "What did you see in the garden?"

Mu Qingyan frowned slightly, with a bit of confusion: "I saw the female ghost, although it was only for a moment, but that face...is very similar to Qu's, but a little strange."

Backtracking, he saw Qu's appearance, but the "female ghost" was a little different.

Because the bones were dug up in the old house, the Shen family was involved in turmoil, and the government servants often came to the door, and the Shen family was used to it.

"Catcher Mu is here!" The guard at the gate saw Mu Lin and his party, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.When he saw Chen Shiliu, he froze for a moment, then looked at Mu Qingyan and Wen Jixue, and rolled his eyes.

Mu Lin didn't make any detours, and said directly: "Please tell me, I have something to ask Mrs. Shen. It has something to do with the progress of the case. I hope Mrs. Shen can see it."

"Mu Catcher, all the guests, please go to the living room to have tea, I will pass the message immediately." The servant summoned the servant girl to give instructions, and turned around to find the butler in a hurry.

Soon, the news spread to the inner courtyard.

"The young man at the gate said that not only the people from the yamen came, but also Mr. Chen, the god-breaker. There was also a young man in green and a handsome man in red. Although the young man had never I have seen it before, but I heard that Mr. Chen has a pair of friends, which is consistent with the description of these two people, that Mr. Tsing Yi should be the younger brother of Mu Kuai, Mu Qingyan."

Qu sighed: "I knew this day would come."

Immediately without further delay, he raised his foot to meet the guest.

As soon as he left the yard, he saw Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Tang coming together. Qu did not want these two to disturb the situation, so he took the lead and said, "Today the yamen came to ask questions, you two look at these people at home, don't let them walk around carelessly , so as not to annoy the yamen official."

Xu said: "My sister-in-law is a good housekeeper, who dares to break the rules, where we need to watch. Besides, the yamen wants to see my sister-in-law, maybe there is something new? I can't eat or sleep because of this matter in the past few days , if you can get an accurate statement, you will feel at ease."

Qu smiled lightly, and said as if joking: "Since that's the case, you can go for me, I really want to see the people in the yamen."

Xu's complexion changed slightly, and he said with a dry smile: "How dare I go past my sister-in-law, besides, the Yamen didn't see me. Well, I and the fourth family will wait here for news from my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Xu has suffered too much, so when she saw Mrs. Qu smiling like a spring breeze, she felt a little cold.

After Qu Shi left, Xu Shi gritted his teeth unwillingly.

But Tang asked her: "Third sister-in-law, the elders in the family are all uneasy recently, but the elder sister-in-law is calm and composed. Why do you think she is? Even if she is not worried about herself, isn't she worried about the elder?"

"She is worried about the old man?" Xu sneered: "Stupid you! If she has the old man in her heart, can she be so indulgent to the old man? Outsiders don't know, you and I don't know the origin of that little thing in her room? "

Tang curled her lips: "So what if you know, those who the old lady said before she was alive are all on the genealogy."

Mrs. Xu got angry when she mentioned it: "It's really unconvincing to say it! All the good things in the world are taken up by the old man! That old man is partial to the big house!"

On the other side, Qu Shi went to the flower hall, and set up a large screen in the middle to avoid suspicion.

"Mu catcher, what do I need to ask you? As long as the concubine knows everything, she knows everything." Qu's gesture was very cooperative.

"Thank you, Madam, for your understanding. We went to the old house of the Shen family just now, and found that there is a passage under the well in the corner of the garden. I wonder if Madam knows about this?"

Qu said: "I don't know about it."

"I heard that the eldest wife took charge of the Shen family on the third day after she married into the Shen family, so she should be very clear about the big and small things in the family. Why did the well in the garden have to be backfilled?" This time it was Mu Qingyan who asked the question, his words more direct.

Qu Shi was silent for a while, and replied: "I don't know about this matter. Although I was in charge of the family early, I didn't understand everything at the beginning, and there were many things I couldn't take care of."

"The secret room of the Shen family, the eldest wife has never heard of it?" Mu Qingyan was not persistent, and changed another question.

"... I heard the elder mention it before, and it was brought out as a joke at the time, but I didn't know that the secret room was under the small courtyard."

"Does the eldest wife have any sisters?"

Qu's hand clenched, and the handkerchief was clenched into a ball by her. Fortunately, the expression on her face was covered by the screen.She chuckled lightly and said, "Where does this come from? I am the only daughter in my family, with only one younger brother. How can there be any sisters. Why does Mr. Mu ask such a question?"

Even if he didn't see him, just listening to the voice and questioning, Qu Shi guessed that he was Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan smiled lightly and said: "It's a coincidence, I heard someone said that I have seen a woman who is quite similar to the eldest wife, so I asked curiously."

"It's just that people are similar." Qu Shi took a sip of tea and gradually calmed down.

As everyone knows, Mu Qingyan, who has a cheating tool, has already seen all her reactions.
