"Be serious?" Mr. Zhang suddenly paused his hand with pig's ears in his arms, and his smile suddenly became a little reluctant.

"Of course, take it seriously." Li Si said seriously.

At this time, I must have said that I do not have the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons. Although this may offend Mr. Zhang, it is better than being able to stay here by Mr. Zhang.

After all, no matter how arrogant Zhang Yuanwai was, he would not dare to kill himself. At most, he would force himself to stay here, but he would not force him to stay for many days.

Zhang Yuanwai was able to deal with slaves at will before because he had a contract of slaves, and he could execute these slaves at will. However, Li Si was a scholar who stood out in the imperial examinations of the court. He was not a slave, and he could deal with them at will.

"What should I do?" Hearing Li Si say this, Mr. Zhang showed a look of distress on his face and sighed a little.

"Why are my uncle worried?" Although Li Si knew why Mr. Zhang showed this expression, he still asked knowingly.

"Hey, this is actually my family's scandal, so it's not convenient to spread it. But since I recognize you as my uncle and nephew, it's nothing to talk to you." Mr. Zhang sighed and snorted coldly: "Actually, these things are caused by that jealous woman."

Speaking of this, a strong sense of hatred appeared in Zhang Yuanwai's tone.

Li Si suddenly realized that he thought that Zhang Guo was wrong at first. This woman was so different from Zhang Yuanwai’s age, how could she be Zhang Yuanwai’s original wife?

"I was originally in love with Miss Guo and was about to take her into the house, but the jealous woman forced me to take a concubine to death." As she said this, Mr. Zhang gritted his teeth, as if he still hated the "jealous woman".

"Of course I wouldn't be coerced by him and still took a concubine, that is, my current wife Guo Qian." As he said that, Zhang Yuanwai grabbed Zhang Guo's delicate and white hand affectionately, and Zhang Guo also looked at Zhang Yuanwai with tender eyes. He felt a sense of affection for a concubine.

At this time, Li Si felt Zhang Guo's crystal clear feet rubbing against his calves. Looking at Zhang Yuanwai's head, he felt a little strange in his heart.

"What about after that?" Li Si continued to move the stool back without any silence, avoided the little feet under the table, and continued to ask Mr. Zhang.

"The jealous woman then jumped into the well and committed suicide." Zhang Yuanwai said this rather plainly, and the one who died was not his wife.

"Ha, why did she ask me not to take a concubine? She gave birth to a son for me? Others have given birth to a few more children, but she was so embarrassed to tell me to add incense to me. I thought I would not take a concubine if I committed suicide. Not only did I take a concubine, I also straightened her and became a wife." Zhang Yuanwai sneered.

"Is that ghost she?" Li Si asked.

"Not bad." Zhang Yuanwai's expression changed from plainness to angry, and he said angrily: "I didn't expect that she would make the family restless even if she died. I didn't care about my relationship with her husband."

Li Si sneered in her heart. When did this Zhang Yuanwai care about his relationship with his wife? He said before that when his ex-wife died, he did not bring any feelings between the couple.

"Since then, the family has started to be haunted, and she can be heard crying every night." Zhang Yuanwai sighed and continued: "Several servants in the family died, all of whom fell from the well. I have also reported to the officials and have been to more than a dozen servants. Several of them died that night, so the government no longer cared about them."

"Later, I asked the butler to make a message. Whoever could subdue the ghost would give him a thousand taels. A few people who were not afraid of death and were incompetent, died that night, and the bodies were blocked in the well. The slaves took out the bodies and they were all ruined."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang sneered.

"I wonder if my nephew has any solution?" Speaking of this, he looked at Li Si with great help.

Li Si showed a look of embarrassment on her face and sighed: "If my uncle asked me to do research, I would be fine, but how could I do this method of subduing demons and eliminating demons?"

"That's right." Zhang Yuanwai nodded, with a look of pity on his face, as if he was extremely agreeing with Li Si's words.

"Uncle, I feel regretful about this. It's a pity that I don't have the means to subdue demons, otherwise I would have killed this ghost for you." Li Si's face showed a look of indignation, as if she had an irreconcilable hatred with the ghost.

Seeing Li Si like this, Mr. Zhang's eyes showed a hint of clarity. It seemed that Mr. Li was indeed a cynical person as rumored. A gentleman-like figure, but unfortunately he didn't know how to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and it was of no use to him.

However, since he entered his Zhang Mansion, it would be difficult to get out. No matter whether Li Si can subdue this ghost or not, he has to subdue him. If he cannot subdue, then he will die in the Zhang Mansion.

At this time, Li Si put down the bowls and chopsticks, bowed to Mr. Zhang and said, "Uncle, I'm full, I'll come to visit you later. I wish you a chance to find someone to destroy the ghost as soon as possible."

Mr. Zhang was stunned when he heard Li Si say this, his face gradually became colder. He put the bowls and chopsticks heavily on the table, and said in a cold voice: "But I, Mr. Zhang, don't treat my nephew well?"

"Of course not." Li Si replied quickly.

"Then why leave?"

"Actually, I think the environment in your home is very good and the food is good. Unfortunately, I have an appointment with some families in the county. Today, I have to give lectures to young children. If you have an appointment with someone, you will naturally have to go." Li Si's face showed a look of regret, as if he wanted to stay in the Zhang Mansion.

Hearing Li Si's words, Mr. Zhang's face suddenly calmed down: "This is simple. I'll ask my servant to go to the county town and say it. It's the same if you go there in a few days. Besides, didn't your nephew say that he wanted to borrow books from my mansion? This time it was an opportunity."

Mr. Zhang waved to a slave, and waited until he approached and ordered: "Fan Fu, go and notify me."

"Yes, lord." The slave respectfully took the order.

When Li Si saw the behavior of Mr. Zhang, his heart skipped a beat. This old guy was indeed not going to let himself go. He wanted to take his back even if he died.

I also read the memories of my predecessor and sighed in my heart. My predecessor had really borrowed books from the Zhang family. But at that time, the Zhang family could not see his predecessor. He was just a poor scholar. He drove his predecessor out of the door.

The predecessor had no choice but to borrow books from the Zhang family. After all, the world is now a world with knowledge monopoly, and books are basically in the hands of some landlords and some families.

Usually some people have no chance to get in touch with books. There is no printing technique in this era, and books are basically hand-written. So this is also the reason why Li Si's predecessor risked the humiliation of being driven away by the Zhang family and asked to borrow books.
