There are two brothels in Wuqing County.

Baifang Pavilion behind Xingfu Street and Hexiang Tower at the end of Maxing Street.

It is a gold-selling cave and a happy place.

It was already night now, and most of the people in the city closed their doors, but these two places were still lively.

Hexianglou.

There was a crowd in front of the door, and many people showed panic on their faces, and the noise was endless.

"What's wrong?"

"what happened?"

When he arrived at Fang Zheng, Mr. He rushed over. It was already surrounded by people.

"It's dead!"

Someone spoke, and the voice tape trembled: "Two people were taken away by the evil ghost."

"It's inside!"

"Accomplice!"

Old He pale, picked up the hammer and beat the gong desperately: "Everyone, please give in, the people in the yamen will come soon."

After all, the attacker occupied half of the official body. The two of them entered the building with a gong and saw two corpses in the hall at a glance.

The heart of the corpse collapsed inward, and blood was everywhere around it. It was indeed a heart that was taken away.

The two deceased were not young, with gray hair and no younger than Mr. He.

It is rare for them to come to brothels at their age.

And Fang Zheng even knew both of these two people!

"The old man of Zhang clan, the second and fifth masters mentioned by Zhang Chuwu, why did they come here?"

"It's Official Zhang's treat."

A fat madam was interjected not far away: "Who ever thought that this happened?"

As he said that, he picked up the flower handkerchief and wiped his tears gently.

"Officer Zhang?"

Mr. He asked, "How is he? Is he really a ghost seeking his life?"

"The great official was scared and was calming down in the room."

The madam sighed and said, "At that time, the female ghost appeared, and many people saw it, it can't be fake."

"Female ghost?"

Fang Zheng's heart moved: "What does that female ghost look like?"

"Who cares about this at that time?"

The madam rolled her eyes: "You two are fighting, wait until the official asked, don't talk nonsense!"

"root"

She signaled to the person behind her: "Give them two of them three cents of silver, which should be the money for tea."

"yes."

One of them nodded and trotted to the two of them, took out the broken silver and handed it over.

"You're welcome."

Old He was kind-hearted, but he was not polite in his hands. He turned his hand and put away the broken silver.

"Don't worry, ma'am, we will only say what we see, what we hear, and what we shouldn't say."

After saying that, he shook his head gently: "The evil ghost is asking for his life, this time it's not ordinary!"

“How to say it?”

Fang Zheng asked curiously.

"Ghosts like to eat the yang energy of living people."

Old He stared at the corpse on the ground with a serious expression: "But this ghost only takes the heart and does not absorb the yang energy. He is no longer an ordinary ghost."

"and……"

He looked around and whispered: "Although it is already night now, there are many strangers here, with abundant yang energy."

"The ability of that ghost is not afraid of the yang energy of everyone and to steal people's hearts in full view of everyone means that she is very good at doing things."

"So many people, only killing two people, either they have wisdom or someone behind them. No matter which one is, it is not a trivial matter!"

Ghosts and even yin things.

It lacks yang, so it likes to eat the yang energy of living people.

But a place with sufficient yang energy is also a forbidden place for ghosts, especially sunlight, which is the nemesis of ghosts.

Fang Zheng thought in his heart, and his face became heavier and heavier.

He had some guesses about the identity of the female ghost, but he could not confirm it.

"Zhang Yukun!"

At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded outside the door, and then several strong women squeezed away the crowd and surrounded a noble lady and walked into the building.

The noble lady was wearing colorful satin clothes, with pearls and jade on her head, and a cold face. She was the third lady of the Song family, Mrs. Zhang, and Song Ping.

"Peng!"

Not far away, a guest room was pushed away, with a pale face and panicked eyes Zhang Yukun appeared in shape.

"lady!"

His lips trembled and he said, "I'm asking two old men to drink, not... not for anything."

“…”

Mrs. Zhang's pretty face was tense and her eyes were staring at Zhang Yukun.

After a long time, she waved her sleeves fiercely and yelled: "It's so embarrassing to go back!"

“Yes, yes.”

Zhang Yukun looked submissive and followed with a hunch, surrounded by a group of strong women and left the building.

"Oh……"

Inside the building, someone disdained to say lightly: "This official Zhang is really afraid of his wife. He didn't even see him even when he met a ghost just now."

"yes!"

Someone echoed: "With Zhang Yukun's wealth, if you want to find a woman, you should go to Baifang Pavilion. Isn't he just avoiding his wife when he comes here?"

"What's his net worth?"

Someone spoke coldly: "He has his current status, but it's all because he went to the third lady of the Song family. Without Mrs. Zhang's dowry, he is just a down-and-out scholar in the Zhang family."

For a moment, everyone was talking.

…………

When Zhang Chuwu arrived at the Song family, it was almost time for Chen.

"You are here in the fifth day of the lunar month."

When the manager saw him, he immediately put down his things and said, "Come with me, go to the restaurant today."

"Manager Song."

Zhang Chuwu followed and spoke quickly: "Mr. Fang hasn't come today, so why don't we wait for him?"

"Mr. Fang has something to do and goes to the yamen. I'm afraid I can't come today."

The manager shook his head: "Don't worry, he's fine. Besides, you only go to get the account books today, and it's not too late to wait until the transaction will be made tomorrow."

"yes!"

Zhang Chuwu felt relieved and nodded.

When I arrived at the front door, Mr. Song had just started his sedan chair, and he was also at the Song Family Restaurant.

When he saw the two, Mr. Song asked the manager to go back to do other things, and he took Zhang Chuwu there.

The four people in front carried the sedan chair, and Zhang Chuwu followed behind him. The group slowly went to Xingfu Street.

Most of the shops on Xingfu Street are well-managed, while there are only two restaurants on the entire street.

The Song family occupied one of them.

"Set down!"

With a light shout, the sedan chair fell steadily.
