Restaurants, brothels, and teahouses are generally places where three religions and nine schools hang out. The amount of information transmitted in such places is very large, so many times, if you want to inquire about news, it is right to come to these places.
However, although these places contain a large amount of information, they are also complicated and often contain trivial matters that are trivial to the parents.
When Qin Ran didn't intend to continue listening, his ears twitched, and suddenly the conversation of a table of guests caught his attention.
…
Sitting on this table were several men wearing brocade clothes who looked either rich or noble.
One of the men said, "Brother Chen, Brother Li, have you heard that the prefect's Yamen is haunted recently?"
"Haunted?"
When a lean man heard this, he glanced at the speaker with some disdain, "Brother Wang, where are the ghosts and ghosts under this white sky and clear universe? Not to mention the prefect's yamen, what is that? This place, brother Wang, don’t you want to scare us with your threats?”
"Yes, Brother Wang, where did you hear this news? How come I haven't heard anyone talk about it before?" Another middle-aged man sitting next to him, who was fair and fat and seemed to have a very kind face, also smiled.
Seeing the unbelieving looks on the faces of his two companions, the man surnamed Wang did not become anxious. Instead, he looked at the two of them the same way, took a sip of wine, smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly, "Brother Chen, Brother Li, You two don’t know this, but let me tell you, this matter is absolutely true, and it is definitely not a lie."
"Oh? Brother Wang, is it really true?"
Seeing the attitude of the man named Wang, the other two people became interested at this time.
However, the kind man surnamed Li who had doubted him before poured a glass of wine for the man surnamed Wang, and then said in a slightly anxious tone, "Brother Wang, please stop being so secretive and tell me quickly. Let Brother Chen and I see it together..."
Wang looked at the man who was catering to him, and a look of satisfaction flashed across his face, and then he said, "To talk about this matter, we have to start with my brother who is an official in the government..."
"Oh, could it be Brother Wang's cousin Governor Li?" the man surnamed Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Exactly, Brother Chen and Brother Li, you also know that my brother works as an errand for the magistrate in the government office, so he naturally knows many internal affairs of the government office. As for the haunting, he and I were talking about it when I was drinking with him. Said."
The man named Wang smiled proudly.
With such a relative around, he usually got into trouble, but he was left to take care of it. .
“Since it was said by Governor Li, I’m afraid it’s somewhat credible.
The man surnamed Chen nodded at this time.
After meeting the man surnamed Chen, he finally believed it, and the look of pride on the man surnamed Wang's face became even stronger.
After looking around for a while, he happily raised his glass and drank another glass, and then said, "Actually, this matter is no longer a secret. Many people in the government office already know about it. Otherwise, if you lend me some courage, I will I don’t dare to say anything to Brother Chen and Brother Li here, right?”
"That's it, that's it. Brother Wang is not the person who talks nonsense. Brother Chen and I can naturally trust you."
The man surnamed Li on the side complimented.
"hehe!"
When the man surnamed Wang heard this, he smiled faintly, but he looked quite proud of being the leader of the group. Then he said, "According to what my brother said, the government office was haunted more than a month ago. Yes, and this matter is still happening in the backyard of the prefect!"
"What? The prefect's backyard is haunted?"
When the man surnamed Li heard this, his face changed slightly, and then he whispered in disbelief.
If this is the case, then this matter is really no small matter.
"Hey, I didn't believe this at first, but according to what my brother said, this matter was caused by the prefect's wife."
After a pause, the man named Wang looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, and then continued, "Brother Chen and Brother Li must have heard that although the prefect's wife was from the Jia family in the imperial capital, she was of noble birth, but her temperament But she is extremely jealous. Normally, even the prefect would be jealous of her."
"Well, I've heard about this too." The middle-aged men surnamed Li and Chen both nodded together. It can be said that even ordinary people have heard of this, let alone their identities.
The man surnamed Chen added, "It's ridiculous that Magistrate Chen, a high-ranking member of the court, is afraid of a woman. How generous and generous he is!"
"Brother Chen, be careful what you say!"
Seeing that the man surnamed Chen directly criticized the court officials, the faces of the men surnamed Wang and Li changed slightly and quickly stopped him.
At this time, the man surnamed Chen also realized that he had made a mistake. He looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him and the others, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he has some status in Linjiang County, he is not qualified enough to go against the prefect.
In order to divert attention, the man surnamed Li continued.
"Brother Wang, what does that matter to the prefect's wife?"
"Of course it is related. You two also know that the prefect's wife is jealous, and the prefect is very jealous of her. However, since the prefect and the prefect's wife have been married for more than ten years, the two of them have had nothing to do with each other."
"However, the prefect's wife has nothing to do, but she does not allow the prefect to take concubines, and she is not even allowed to sleep in Huamianliu. Moreover, if the prefect's wife knows which woman the prefect is close to, whether it is a slave or a prostitute, in the end No one can escape the vicious hands of the prefect’s wife..."
"However, there are three so-called unfilial piety, and the worst is not having an offspring. Although the prefect is taboo about the prefect's wife, in order to continue his popularity, he secretly kept a concubine in the outer courtyard without telling the prefect's wife, and she is more than seven months pregnant."
"As a result, more than a month ago, the prefect's wife found out about this matter. The prefect's wife directly sent people to capture the concubine and take her back to the back office. Then, she and the fetus in the concubine's belly were killed with a stick, leaving one dead and two dead. Life!"
"What a vicious woman!" Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Chen couldn't help but said with an angry look on his face.
"The tongue in the mouth of a green snake and the needle in the back of a wasp's tail are not considered poisonous. They are most poisonous to a woman's heart. The ancients will not deceive me!" The man surnamed Li couldn't help but say.
This time, they had to feel resentful.
No matter who the other party is, even if the concubine is not as good as the wife, she can't harm anyone. She is still an unborn fetus!
"That's true, so now comes retribution."
The man surnamed Wang also shook his head, and then said, "It is said that the ghost of the mother and son who was raped by the rod lingers behind the government office and haunts the prefect's wife every night. It is said that the prefect's wife closed her eyes. , you will hear the concubine’s cry for mercy before she died, as well as the cry of the baby, and a series of strange things happened. The two old ladies who had previously been beaten to death by the magistrate’s wife, all of them bled from their orifices. Death, the appearance of death is extremely terrifying!"
"Deserve it!"
"retribution!"
When the man surnamed Chen and the man surnamed Li heard this, they couldn't help but look relieved at the same time and spoke out one after another.
"It is indeed retribution, so it is said that the prefect's wife is now withered and looks crazy. She hides in the room all day and shouts that there is a ghost..." The man surnamed Wang nodded.
He himself was very angry and deserved to suffer this torture!
"Oh? What about the prefect?" The middle-aged man surnamed Li asked: "Are we just going to let this matter go like this, and let the ghost of the concubine harm the prefect's wife?"
"Although the prefect wants to, he doesn't dare. You know, the prefect's wife is from the Jia family. If the prefect's wife has any shortcomings, the Jia family will not let it go."
"So, more than a month ago, the magistrate had already sent people everywhere to invite eminent monks and Taoist priests to come, hoping to transcend the two ghosts of the concubine, mother and son, but I don't know whether it was because those eminent monks and Taoist priests did not have enough magic power, or because The grievances between the concubine, the mother and the two ghosts are too deep, and none of them succeeded. Now, the prefect is still asking people to search for the master?" said the man surnamed Wang.
"That's it. It's a shame, Lord Magistrate, that you will get nothing from marrying such a woman."
"Yes, yes, it is the orthodox principle to have no heirs for the superiors. Now that it is better, and I have been involved in such a thing, I am afraid that one day it will be like that..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'll tell you something else. There is a person in the next county..."
…
"Prefect? A big family in the capital? The weight is enough. From then on, you can encroach on the power of this dynasty! However, in this world, ghosts are really easy to meet!"
Hearing this, Qin Ran's eyes flashed and he stopped listening. He finished the exquisite dishes in front of him with a few chopsticks. After a while, he took out a fifty-tael piece of silver and put it on the table before walking down. Restaurant.
On the street, Qin Ran first asked for the direction of the prefect's Yamen, and then he walked towards the prefect's Yamen step by step with his hands behind his back...
