Chapter 193: Alone on the Snowy Road

Chapter 193 Snow Road Alone in Chang'an Murder Case
After coming out of Taiji Palace, Fang Jie didn't go back in a carriage ride, but walked slowly towards the snowflakes on the street. The snow was covered with a layer of white when he was not out of Miyagi. After two streets, the snow was as thick as the bottom of his boots. The remnants of the last snow had not yet melted, and this snow came one after another. I do n’t know if God feels that the city of Changan is not beautiful enough.
Feeling that the snow underneath is getting thicker and thicker, if you take care of it, you will have a very boring and wonderful feeling. It seems that the solution is relaxed, but the heart is heavy and the steps are a little heavy. As he walked, he bowed his head slightly, watching the flat snow surface be stamped by his own feet. Step by step, so clear.
The emperor's words kept ringing in his ear. The emperor who held him up seemed very playful. He threw him into the prison cage and let it out, and then kicked Fang Xie into this one. In the game, the emperor was delighted, but Fang Jie was desperate.
If Changan City is a large lake, then the court is the deepest part of the lake. Few people can easily voyage freely. Fang Xie now has only one reed at his feet, and wants to cross the lake ... How easy is it?
There are very few pedestrians on the street, and there are no people on the carriage passing through the city. When the carriage passed by Fang Xie, the driver enthusiastically greeted him to get on the car. Maybe he didn't see Fang Xie's uniform that played Wuyuan. He shouted Teenagers don't take a car, eight coins will take you to your door.
Fang Xie seriously asked not five copper coins?
The driver twisted and said, "Isn't this heavy snow? It's not excessive to add three more coins."
Fang Xie asked wherever he sent eight copper coins?
The driver said that if you would sit a mile away, would I be happy to collect your eight coins? Within ten miles, there were five bronze coins. It ’s fair and unfair to add three more than ten miles?
The commentary by Fang was fair, but I didn't sit.
The driver almost crooked his nose, and said to himself, why don't you sit and tell me for a long time? He glanced at Fang Jie with the most disdainful look, and then urged Ma Yangbian to leave the carriage. Fang Jie smiled stupidly, as if taking advantage.
The sky was getting gloomier and the cloud pressure was so low that it seemed as if you could pick up a handful of newly opened snowflakes. Fang Jie suddenly regretted not taking the carriage. If he walked all the way back to the shop, it would take at least one hour. The uniforms had to be washed by themselves, although there were women ... but Shen Qingfan was not the type that was willing to wash clothes in a tub.
So he decided to make a short cut.
Turning into another street, Fang Jie looked at the street sign when he entered this street.
East Eighteenth Street
Fang Xie calculated the distance, and it was far from Dongtsanjie where the shop was located. There is no pedestrian on this street, and it looks extraordinarily clean and serene. The layout of the cities of Chang'an City is almost the same. The straight streets separate the tofu blocks in Fang City. If you can overlook the sky, you will be shocked by how the construction of this male city is so regular.
The sound of the foot on the snow was clear, and Fang Jie looked at the shops on both sides of the street as he walked. About one hundred meters into East Eighteenth Street, he found that this supposedly prosperous place had a run-down house. Looking at the incomplete appearance, it has been said for decades that no one cares about it. You have to know that although Chang'an City has a lot of money, how can business people ignore such a good place?
So he couldn't help but stop and took a closer look at the house.
The wall had collapsed several times, but the doorway was still intact. The iron chains that had rusted into a ball could not see the original appearance, and were almost fused with the iron chains. Fang Xie looked in a gap in the wall and found that the grass in the courtyard had covered the entire courtyard. It wasn't clear what the house was like, but the broken window of the exposed black cricket was chilling like the gate of hell.
The solution is puzzled, why is this place deserted?
He stopped in front of the yard for a while, and always felt that there was something wrong with the house. So instead of rushing home, he walked into a tea house across the street not far from the house. The business of this tea house was not very good at first, and the owner of the tea house was so miserable that it was so close to the frustrated place. In this snowy day, a guest came in, and the boss rushed out in person.
When he saw Fang Jie's uniform in the Wuyuan Academy, his heart got even more excited. Yanwu Academy students can go out for three days a month, and students do not have to return to Yanwu Academy at night when these three days are closed. When Fang Xie was released from the prison, it was at the Yanwu Academy that classes were closed.
"Hurry up, boy."
The veteran picked up his sister-in-law to remove the snow from Fang Jie's body. His enthusiastic attitude made him very happy. Fang Xie said thank you, and chose a window seat to sit down.
"What do you drink?"
The boss asked.
Fang Xie had little research on the tea ceremony, and just pointed out a kind of medium-priced tea on the list. The boss first sent four small dried fruit samples, and then personally made tea for the party.
"Boss, has the house over there been abandoned for many years?"
Fang Xie asked.
He was curious because he wanted to know why the hotly-purchased plot of land was left unattended.
"Where do you say, cough ... don't say it, that place is extremely nasty!"
The boss sighed, and seemed to be complaining.
He waved away a wild cat that appeared at the door, with disgust in his eyes. The wildcat glanced back and walked down to the bottom of a wall, looking pitiful in the heavy snow.
...
...
Mentioning the house across the street not far away, the owner of the tea house opened the conversation box. He held his own Zisha pot and sat down opposite Fang Jie, so Xiao Er added two more dried fruits. In such a weather, the guest can solve one problem. The boss may be too boring, so he cannot stop when he speaks.
"It is said that this house lived as a court clerk a long time ago, and I remember hearing it from my father or my grandfather ... even if this place has not been broken for 100 years, it will be 70 or 80 years. It is said that because of that The adult was stripped of the official rank and the family was blasted out of Chang'an City. Before leaving, he sold the house to a wealthy merchant at a low price. The place was once prosperous, and now the most prosperous Dong 23 Maybe it was once bustling here. "
The boss took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and continued, "Because it was the most prosperous place in Chang'an City at that time, the rich merchant bought the house at a low price and was naturally happy. After a little cleaning, he brought his family members in. Come in It's also strange that maybe his identity can't hold back the atmosphere of this house. The family members have died one after another. Later, their family was poisoned by their business rivals. "
"There are dozens in the family, and there isn't one left."
"Oh?"
Fang Xie couldn't help asking: "So mad, there must be nothing to kill the murderer."
"That's natural. It is said that the emperor personally ordered it. If he defeated it, the poisoned rich merchant's house was also cut down by dozens of people, and the rest were used as slaves."
The boss sighed: "Later, the house was bought again, and then there were a series of accidents, either the servant fell into the well and drowned, or he died of illness. This place became more and more evil, but later I heard it was that The deported adult was sorrowful and angry, and when he was out of Changan, he poisoned his family members, and then returned to Changan City alone, and was hanged in a partial house in that house. It took a long time before the body was found. All said It's because the grievance is too heavy and the ghost spirit is too strong.
"So this house was deserted. It was because of this broken house. The entire East Eighteenth Street went down, and no one came here on weekdays. It was also because it wasn't working here, and East Twenty-three was prosperous. Get up. "
Fang Xie nodded, and couldn't help but glance at the house again. He didn't believe in any ghosts. If the house was in trouble, it was either coincidence or someone had done it deliberately. But why did n’t he take over the house later? I do n’t know. As for so many ghost talks, most of them were passed on by cymbals.
"Who owns the house title?"
Fang Xie asked.
"do not know"
The boss shook his head and said, "Most of them are in the gate of Chang'an."
Fang Jiemu sang, drank the tea in the cup, and looked at the house again: "If you buy this place and restart a courtyard, it should be fine. After all, so many years have passed. Even if there is a ghost, It's long since gone. "
"Not always!"
The boss said: "There are naughty children who often climb in to play hide-and-seek. A few children came in early this morning and they were so scared and wept and escaped, saying that there were evil spirits inside. I asked a lot and said it One of the wild dogs who lived was dead, and his head was bitten. I don't know what bite it. But he can bite a wild dog silently and silently, and there can be no beasts here, except for evil spirits. What could it be? "
In order to prove himself, the boss pointed to the wild cat huddled and shivering on the wall and said, "Look, even that wild cat dare not enter the house to avoid snow."
Fang Xie looked at the boss's fingers and frowned slightly.
Indeed, the wild cat would rather be standing in the corner with snow and snow, rather than entering the run-down house, UU 看书 www. uukanshu.com This is not common sense.
Maybe there's something weird in that house.
Fang Jie smiled and dispelled the idea of ​​the broken courtyard. He was just curious, spent a pot of tea, and listened to an interesting story, and this afternoon passed. Fang stood up and settled the tea money out of the tea house. Just a few steps away, the owner of the tea house chased him out and gave him a used paper umbrella.
"Not worth it, my son is holding the windshield."
The boss shoved the umbrella into Fang Xie's hand, waited for Fang Xie to say a thank you, and then ran back contentedly. It's been a long time that no one wants to sit down and listen to his story. This boy is a good listener. Fang Jieqing walked back with the oil-paper umbrella, couldn't help but glance at the wild cat again.
I don't know why, there seems to be a very complicated application in the wild cat's eyes.
Fang Jie smiled, and said to himself that after hearing a story, he became suspicious.
The boy walked alone on the snowy road.
At the corner where he disappeared on East Eighteenth Street, there seemed to be a dark cloud falling from the sky into the broken courtyard. The wild cat curled up in the corner screamed sternly and turned to escape. The owner of the restaurant looked at the wild cat who was fleeing in a panic, and said in his heart that you didn't want to scare me.
He watched the young man leave, unaware that there were a pair of gloomy eyes in the ruined courtyard, looking out of the crack in the wall.
The boss thought that the teenager gave twenty extra tea money, enough to buy a new oil-paper umbrella. It was a personal favor to give the umbrella myself, maybe there was an extra patron, so he was a little proud, and felt that he was really a genius in business.
The wild cat fled without a trace, and the young man's figure disappeared.
On that day, three more murders were reported in Changan City.
The three dead were students of Yanwu Academy.
PS: It is so cool to have a red vote for reading tea.
