Inside the carriage, Ye Chang asked Su Fengnuan, "What did you say to Xu Yunchu with the sound transmission?"

Su Feng Nuan told Xu Yunchu that it was the housekeeper who killed Yun Ni and told Ye Chang.

Ye Chang heard the words, "The housekeeper of the Guozhang's Mansion is a family-born son, and served the three generations of the Guozhang, Guojiu, and Xu Yun. Unexpectedly, he became a house thief."

Su Fengnuan said, "Since it is the housekeeper who committed the crime and cannot get away from the internal house, we will stay in the government office again. It is not very good. When the matter has a result, if it is related to the secret road case of the agency, Xu Yunchu will definitely ask us Results."

Ye Chang nodded.

Su Fengnuan said, "It's still early, can you go to the courtyard at the exit of the secret road?"

Ye Chang said, "Go!"

So Su Fengnuan instructed the coachman outside, "Go to Xijie Market."

"Yes." The coachman responded and drove the carriage into West Street.

Ye Xi said, "Unexpectedly, the exit of the secret road turned out to be in a deserted courtyard in West Street Market Well, and the deserted courtyard was sealed. The seal of the government has been uninhabited for many years. It is really interesting. tight."

Ye Chang said, "Oh?"

Su Fengnuan explained all the circumstances in which she, Ye Xi, Xiao Han, and Xie Xuan had found the courtyard.

Ye Chang said, "After going to the courtyard, it seems that you need to go to the household department and check the files, and who is the owner of the house."

Su Fengnuan nodded.

The carriage came to Xijie Market. This private house is where the people live and the poverty behind the prosperity of the capital of Southern Qi.

Su Feng Nuan raised the driving curtain, looked outside, and directed the coachman, turning around into a narrow alley.

When he came to a dilapidated door, Su Fengnuan said to the coachman, "This is it, stop."

The coachman reined the horse and stopped the carriage.

Su Feng Nuan just wanted to jump out of the carriage, Ye Chang held her hand, got out of the carriage first, and then handed her the hand. Su Feng Nuan would like to get out of the carriage with his hand. .

In the alley, an old man with a white beard was sitting on a stone pier in front of a courtyard gate in the distance. His clothes were sloppy and he heard the movement. Looking here, when he saw Ye Chang, Su Fengnuan and others, he showed A look of surprise.

Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan looked at each other and walked to the old man not far away.

Ye Chang shouted, "Old man!"

The old man slowly supported the wall to stand up, looking at Ye Chang and Su Fengnuan, both of them were dressed in luxurious clothes and looked unparalleled. He asked in amazement, "Two distinguished men, what can happen to this place?"

Ye Chang asked, "Why did the old man show a different color just when he saw us?"

The old man heard the words, "For more than ten years, since the government has put a seal on this family and sealed the courtyard behind, this is the first time that the young man has seen someone come, so he was surprised." After the words fell, he asked. , "Dare to ask Miss Gongzi why come here?"

Ye Chang said, "I came here for investigation."

The old man was even more surprised, "Didn't the case have been closed more than ten years ago?" After the words fell, he looked at the two, and then looked at Ye Xi, Xiao Han and Xie Xuan who were following them, and saw Xiao Han and Xie Xuan. Wearing the clothes of the guards of Su Mansion, he immediately asked in surprise, "Is it from the General Su Mansion?"

Ye Chang smiled and said, "The old man seems to be very clear about the clothing of the guards of each house."

The old man said, "The little old man is most afraid of running into the nobles of every mansion in Beijing. Therefore, he will remember the servants of each mansion." After the words fell, he stepped forward two steps and looked towards The carriage for two people immediately said, "The little old man is dim-eyed. It turned out to be the carriage of the Royal Palace of Rong'an." When the words fell, he asked in shock, "It seems that the son and the young lady are Ye Shizi and General Su of the Royal Palace of Rong'an. Miss Su from the mansion?"

Ye Chang smiled, "Although the old man lives in the market, he has great knowledge."

Su Feng Nuan smiled, "It's the two of us."

The old man stepped back two steps and hurriedly saw the courtesy, "The little old man is rude. I don't know that it is two distinguished guests, so I just collided."

Ye Chang said, "Old man exempted the gift."

Su Fengnuan was extremely respectful when he saw him instantly, and said in a polite manner, "Old man, we are just two juniors, you don't need to bow to us."

The old man said, "King Rong'an was very heroic back then, defending the territory of the Southern Qi with the princess, fighting to death on the battlefield, breaking the moon and imperial concubine case, negotiating with the Northern Zhou Dynasty and letting the Northern Zhou Dynasty sweep the ground, supervising the household department on behalf of the emperor, reorganizing the household department, and checking the household. In the embezzlement case, General Su made a lot of merits to protect us from the Southern Qi. Miss Su’s heroine did not let her beard, defended Yanbei, fought in the west, defeated the prince of North Tuesday, and spread the market and became famous all over the world. , Jiangmen Tiger Girl, well-deserved, the little old man is fortunate to see you two today, I am really fortunate for three lives."

Ye Chang smiled, "The old man is very old and has a good eloquence. It's a pity that he lives in the market. I don't know how he makes a living?"

The old man suddenly said, "The little old man used to live by storytelling, but now he is old and sick, lingering, and no one listens to storytelling. I used to save some savings and barely survive."

Su Fengnuan said, "No wonder the old man is so eloquent, he used to make a living as a storyteller." After that, she asked, "Dare to ask my old man, what murders happened here in the past? The government has been locked down for many years? Normally this kind of house, if so. No one will inherit it, isn't it sold by the government?"

The old man said, "In the past, a family of five lived here. All of them died overnight. People from the government came to do an autopsy with the work, but they could not find out the cause of death. Later, the government sealed the house. The house. Every night, people in this whole alley will hear the crying in the courtyard. Everyone says it is haunted, and the government officials come to check it at night, but there is nothing, but it is still every night. I heard crying from inside. Later, people in this alley moved away."

"All moved? No wonder this alley is so quiet." Su Fengnuan asked, "Why didn't you move, old man?"

The old man said, "My wife and I have no children, and my wife has leg problems. Where can we go? Besides, when we are older, we live a day and we are not afraid of ghosts. So we stayed."

"What happened later?" Su Fengnuan asked.

The old man said, "After a year of noisy, the crying gradually disappeared, but the people in this alley also disappeared. Not long after, my wife fell ill and died, and I was the only one who lived to this day. People on West Street call this alley a dead end, but all the people living in Beijing know that no one knows. Therefore, the mansion here is empty except for the little old man who lives here. The official auction No one dares to buy a mansion, no matter how cheap it is. Therefore, this alley has been abandoned for more than ten years. Apart from the rat, I am the only one who is breathing."

Su Fengnuan said curiously, "This thing is really strange!" When he said, he looked at Ye Chang, "You are in Beijing, can you hear about it?"

Ye Chang shook his head, "I have never heard of it."

Su Fengnuan said, "Isn't it said that no one knows that no one knows?"

Ye Chang said, "I have never heard of it."

Su Fengnuan looked at the old man.

The old man said immediately, "It was about twelve or three years ago, not long after Wang Rong'an died in the battle. Ye Shizi was still young, and he must be immersed in sadness, so naturally he didn't have time to pay attention to such market affairs."

Ye Chang said, "If it was twelve or three years ago, indeed."

Su Feng Nuan suddenly said, "Is it twelve or three years ago?" After the words fell, she asked, "Old man, you just said that you have been living here. One year later, the house stopped crying. After that Is there something else?"

The old man shook his head, "There is no more movement, this whole alley is very quiet, whether it is day or night."

Su Fengnuan looked at him, "Although it is past the Spring Festival, but it has not yet begun, the weather is still very cold, why don't you stay in your yard? Instead, you sit on the stone pier at the door and blow the cold wind. ?"

The old man said, "This whole alley is uninhabited except me. It is very deserted. I hope that one day someone will live in and be as lively as before. Sometimes I don't bother to be bored in the yard, but I'm old, with bad legs and feet, and I don't bother to go out, so I often sit at this door. No matter winter or summer, it doesn't feel cold in winter or hot in summer."

Su Fengnuan nodded.

The old man pointed behind him, "This is the old man's yard. If the two don't dislike it, go in and drink a bowl of water?"

Su Fengnuan glanced at the sky and looked at Ye Chang.

Ye Chang nodded, "It just so happens that we are also thirsty, so we will disturb the old man."

The old man said not to bother, how long hadn't he seen people coming from this alley, especially two distinguished guests, so he enthusiastically invited them to his yard.

Su Fengnuan and Ye Chang followed the old man into his yard. They saw that his yard was clean and tidy. Although it was dilapidated, it was not deserted. It can be seen that, as the old man said, he has always lived here.

Three houses inside and outside.

The old man invited the two to the outside room. There was a table with eight immortals and two square stools. He invited them to sit down, poured two large bowls of water from the pot, and said, "Little old man is poor, even tea leaves. If you can't afford it, the two will do it."

Ye Chang picked up the bowl and took a sip of white water, and said, "White water is the best way to quench your thirst, you don't have to be polite."

Su Fengnuan also took a sip and said with a smile, "Since the old man lives by storytelling, he must be very sensitive and understanding. In the year when the alley was haunted, the old man knew that apart from the death of King Rong'an, this Beijing can Is there anything unusual happening?"
