Chapter 122: Fright
?In the evening, Liu Qiang walked out drunk at the door of the restaurant. Today he was happy, so he drank a little more. The waiter outside the door came forward to support him and asked where he was going.
Liu Qing had an accident at the Zhang family and had his own room in the mansion, but he had a house outside and took a concubine. When the servant asked him, he said back to the Zhang Mansion, no, there was no man named Zhang in the mansion, but only the head of the mansion. Now he is his sister in charge and he will be him from now on.
The Zhang family has been single-handed for several generations, so there are no uncles and brothers. The people with distant relationships are also far away from the boundaries of Chen State in Jiangnan. As the saying goes, the wealth will not flow from outsiders to the land. Liu Qiang feels that his sister will definitely not forget his young brother.
I have been working for the Zhang family for more than ten years, and I have worked hard without any credit. After the Zhang family is lost, I should inherit the family business!
Today, his sister Zhang Liu went to the state yard to beat drums and complain. After entering the court, he asked the Yuwen envoy who was like a god to decide the case as the commander, as soon as possible, to judge his daughter-in-law Zhang Li to give justice to his murdered son.
The evidence of Zhang Li's collusion with the thief to murder his husband is unquestionable. Liu Qing thought that the newly appointed Yuwen envoy would definitely impartially sentence the woman to death for civilian grievances.
"What a pity, what a beautiful lady..." Liu Qing couldn't help but murmur, and was distracted for a moment.
He couldn't ride a horse because he drank alcohol. The servant held him in one hand and walked on the dim streets with his horse in the other. As night approached, the chimneys of every household rose and smoke curfew on the streets were sparsely pedestrians, and the access control and curfew in Xiyang City were about to begin.
The curfew has always been there but is just a piece of paper for many powerful people. Even if they come out at night and meet the patrol soldiers, they will not see it. Liu Qiang has no power but he has some money and is familiar with the leaders of the patrol team. On weekdays, even if they come out after the curfew, they will "not be the case."
However, since the Yuwen Envoy took office, the curfew has been implemented more and more severely. Since the White Turtle presented treasures to the military households in the state and paid off the debts of the military households in the state, these people were organized by Yang Sima to patrol the night patrol. They were all stupid and didn't know how to catch the "night offender" when they saw them, so no one in Xiyang City dared to take the curfew seriously anymore.
Liu Qing walked staggeringly. Zhang's mansion was not far from the restaurant, so he was not afraid of not having time to go back. He threw away the servant's hand and hummed an unknown tune while walking. A carriage drove across from the side of the master and servant.
It was a carriage that was so ordinary that it was usually seen in Xiyang City. It was still a two-wheeled style instead of a four-wheeled carriage that is now popular among wealthy families. Liu Qing glanced at the carriage and saw the coachman looking straight at him and then continued to move forward.
When both sides were about to pass by, two people suddenly rushed out of the carriage. Before Liu Qing could react, he felt a pain in the back of his head and was knocked to the ground. Before the servant could shout, he was knocked to the ground like his husband. The two of them quickly carried his master and servant into the car and took the horse.
The carriage did not slow down but continued to move forward. The two sides intersected for a moment and lost the two, but no one noticed it, and everything was as if nothing had happened.
......
The Bingliang woke Liu Qingleng up, and he opened his eyes and saw that there were stars in the sky. Looking around, he found himself lying in a yard. Because he felt a little pain in the back of his head, he sat up with his head.
There was silence everywhere, and there was no trace of light in the rooms in the yard. He couldn't help but complain: This was a kidnapped by a thief.
He estimated the distance. The attacked location was not too far from the city gate. The other party drove a carriage and he would definitely not stay in the city but go out of the city. In this way, this yard was a thief's nest.
When he stood up, he felt sore all over his body. Liu Qing rubbed his shoulders and moved his limbs. Looking at the high courtyard wall, he thought about his skills and felt that he could not get out of the climb.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Those who are thieves are asking for money as long as they are given money, it's fine..." Liu Qing murmured to cheer himself up. He judged that he was taken to somewhere outside the city, so no one could save him. Now the plan is to wait for the other party to ask him to write a letter to Zhang Liu to ask for life-saving money.
Just as he was thinking about a cold wind blew suddenly and made him shudder. He looked up and saw that the surroundings were dark and silent. The windows of the house in the yard were dilapidated and dark windows looked like big mouths. In this situation, he was the only one who looked strange.
Liu Qing shivered and felt that staying alone in the yard and blowing the night wind was not a matter of wanting to enter the house at least sit or lie down. When he walked towards the main house and was about to push the door and entered, he saw that the light suddenly appeared in the room.
The light was not a candlelight or an oil lamp. Through the dilapidated window paper, he saw a ball of white flame with a little blue flame in it, but the strange thing was not the color, but the flame was floating in the air without any candles or oil lamps.
The fire floated in the air in the room, dyeing the room a strange layer of white. Liu Qing looked at the scene and sweated down and turned around and was about to run back. Unexpectedly, strange fires lit up in the other rooms in the yard.
Liu Qing recognized the firelight. He saw it when he was passing by wild and deserted graves while rushing out of his village at night. It was a ghost fire!
Seeing ghost fires appearing in the rooms in the yard, he was so scared that his teeth were fighting. When he was about to rush to the yard, a sound suddenly came from a well in a corner of the yard. The sound seemed to be someone crying.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
As the sound became louder, Liu Qing's legs were shaking too much: this strange yard, the terrifying ghost fire, the inexplicable crying in the well... How could anyone cry in the well in such a place? Those who are afraid of it are not human at all!
As the saying goes, what he is afraid of is what he is. Liu Qing was afraid, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the wellhead. Something slowly popped out of the wellhead. He saw that it was a human head, reflecting the pale fire in the room next to him.
For a moment, he felt that his heart was about to jump out. He saw the head slowly rising from the wellhead and exposed his shoulders, but he was a man with his head down, crying in confusion.
It was a woman, a woman with disheveled hair, a woman with a white body, she rose from the well bit by bit, seeing that she seemed to be stuck halfway through the outing, or why did she suddenly stop and just cry and wave her hands.
Liu Qing was so scared that he was stunned by this scene. Seeing the woman twisting at the wellhead for a moment and turning to him, he looked over in fear but saw the other party raise his head, his face pale, but a red tears flowed out of each of his eyes, which was extremely terrifying. Liu Qing sat on the ground with his legs soft and his mouth trembled and wanted to speak, but only said a few words:
"You...who are you!"
"Uncle... help me... it's so hard... it's so uncomfortable..." The woman said while crying. She stretched out her weird-shaped hand and grabbed Liu Qingkong, as if she wanted someone to "pull it". Liu Qing vaguely saw through the firelight that there was no hand!
The fingers are pale and seem to be thick with bones, the nails are long and sharp and even bloodstained. This is not the case where the hand is clearly the long claws of the nails.
"I, I don't know you. You recognize the wrong person. Go away quickly!!!!" Liu Qing sat on the ground in horror and rubbed backwards. When he hit the wall, he suddenly came back to his senses and stood up and ran towards the yard gate.
He pulled the door bolt hard but couldn't pull it any longer and cried desperately, crying for help, but no one responded. He listened to the sinister crying sound behind him, and was so scared that he trembled all over and turned around and looked at the wellhead in horror.
The woman cried and said that my uncle was me. She climbed the edge of the well and seemed to be looser and then climbed outward. She crawled towards Liu Qing on the ground while crawling and said that it was his nephew's wife, who he often peeked at.
"Li! Why are you?" Liu Qing was so scared that he couldn't speak well. He ran to the farthest corner of the yard from the wellhead and stood with his back against the wall. Seeing the woman crawling forward on the ground, dragging her bloody legs towards him, he collapsed to the ground.
"I was tortured by the prison chief and beaten to death... When I came to be attracted by the ox head and horse face, I couldn't swallow my breath when I thought about what my uncle did to me..."
"I, I, I... I have a wrongdoing and debt. You go and settle the score with the thief by yourself, why do you come to me for doing!" Liu Qing looked at the woman approaching here in horror. In this situation, he already understood that this was the nephew who was locked in prison and found him after he died.
"Uncle...If you hadn't bribed someone to frame me, how could I die so miserably..."
"No, no, no, no, no, I did not frame you... What does it have to do if you die if you die!"
"Zhang Lang is waiting for you, he asked me to take you to see him... You are so cruel..." The woman crawled closer and closer, and Liu Qing could already see that her eyes with blood and tears were not using pupils but pale.
"No, no, no, I don't want it anymore, I don't want it anymore!" He was so scared that he pissed, and the wet traces in his crotch became more and more obvious. "I don't want the Zhang family's property, I don't want anything!"
"Uncle... Why do you want to harm me... Why don't you go to the state yard to explain clearly..." The woman's tongue was half a foot long. Liu Qing was so scared that his face was bloodless when he saw the woman's scarlet tongue spitting out her scarlet tongue.
"I'll go, I'll go! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have bribed the prisoner to write any blood books to frame you." Liu Qing cried. He leaned against the wall and waved his hands desperately to try to stop the woman in front of him from approaching. Seeing that the other party was about to come in front of him, his legs kept kicking around.
He no longer had the courage to escape, and he could not escape as long as he could get rid of the female ghost in front of him, he was willing to do anything.
"Why do you want to hook up with thieves and kill my husband and wife!" The woman suddenly screamed, her voice was sharp and horrible, making Liu Qing cry like a spring, and the crotch was wet. A smell of urine came to his nose. He foamed at the mouth and said, "No, no, I didn't hook up with thieves. I just wanted the Zhang family property to frame you. I didn't hook up with thieves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, people suddenly gathered in the yard and then many torches lit up. The yard was like daytime. A group of people pushed open the gate and walked in. One of them was young and wearing an official uniform, but Liu Qing didn't recognize who it was.
"Liu Qing, what crime should you be guilty of framed innocent people!"
