"The first resident of this house was a famous painter from the capital, so many features and layouts of this house are in line with the preferences of literati," Fu Mingsui continued.
"Okay, I like it, it's elegant, beautiful, and refined. This house is really worth buying, it's cheap!" Yi Jixuan sat in the pavilion beside the lotus pond, and he could see that after the house was renovated, it would be exquisite. The owner was a painter, and many places were exquisitely crafted. Even the stone pillars of the pavilion were carved with patterns of flowers in full bloom.
"The owner of this house disappeared mysteriously later..." Fu Mingsui picked up his robe and sat next to Yi Jixuan, "After that, the house was sold to a businessman in the capital at that time. Later, because it was haunted, the house changed hands several times. As the rumors of the haunting became more and more rampant, it could no longer be sold." Fu Mingsui gave a brief introduction, which basically said that the house was famous for being haunted, and later no one dared to buy it.
Yi Jixuan nodded, lowered his head and picked up the white tiger jade pendant on his waist: "Ming Su, do you know what is so special about this jade pendant of mine?"
Fu Mingsui took a look and shook his head. However, this jade pendant was made in a unique way. Few people would combine white jade with peach wood.
Yi Jixuan raised his lips and smiled: "This jade pendant is not an ordinary thing. If there is really an evil thing, this jade pendant will scream."
"Oh?!" Fu Mingsui was slightly surprised and looked at Yi Jixuan's jade pendant again. The white tiger on it had its eyes wide open and looked lifelike.
"This jade pendant was given to us by Zhang Zilin, the most powerful celestial master. Our family likes to buy tombs. Besides being cheap, some tombs are not really haunted..." Yi Jixuan's eyes became mysterious, and Fu Mingsu listened more seriously. "There are many details about the five elements here. The ghosts you see may just be hallucinations caused by time or poisons in the air."
Fu Mingsu was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Yi Jixuan knew these things.
Yi Jixuan continued, "These things were all taught by Zhang Tianshi. No one has lived in this house for a long time. It lacks human vitality, and the Yin Qi rises, which easily attracts some poisonous insects and snakes, and it is damp and moldy, and there are some poisons in the air. However, if there are really ghosts, we can ask Tianshi to drive them away, and then people can live here again. By the way, we can reverse the feng shui and make some windfall from the dead. Therefore, our family only needs to buy the Yin house, and Zhang Tianshi will solve the rest for us."
There was a hint of complacency in Yi Jixuan's smile.
Fu Mingsu felt that the former made some sense. As for the latter, Fu Mingsu was skeptical. After all, he had never seen a ghost, let alone exorcised a ghost, so he still thought that exorcism was more of a lie. But Yi Jixuan was his relative after all, so he would not say it openly.
"Since I came in, this jade pendant has not made a sound, which means this house..." Yi Jixuan smiled, "very clean." Yi Jixuan's smile showed that this house was not a haunted house at all. His jade pendant was given to him by Zhang Tianshi to judge whether there were ghosts in the house.
Fu Mingsuo didn't know how to respond, so he could only continue smiling.
Yi Jixuan smiled at Fu Mingsuo: "Mingsuo, don't you believe it? Someone has seen through this jade pendant. She saw that... my wealth is unclean and easily attracts ghosts."
"Oh? Who is it? Who has the ability to understand the Heavenly Master's things?" Fu Mingsui asked following Yi Jixuan's words.
Yi Jixuan's smile was still there, and a trace of confusion appeared on his face: "I wonder... Ming Su, have you ever heard of a place called Jiumen in the capital..."
Fu Mingsui was shocked. How come his brother-in-law had also seen Jiumen
"Then among the Nine Gates... there is a person named... Lian..."
"Lian Youyou?!" Before Yi Jixuan said her full name, Fu Mingsuo had already taken over, and his expression was even more surprised than Yi Jixuan.
Yi Jixuan looked at Fu Mingsui: "Yes, Lian Youyou. How come there really is such a place and such a person?" When Lian Youyou "robbed" his carriage, he thought Lian Youyou must be lying to him.
"How did my brother-in-law know Miss Lian?" Fu Mingsu was really surprised. He felt that his relatives were all inextricably linked to Lian Youyou. Did Lian Youyou know about Yi Jixuan's relationship with their Fu family and wanted to get close to him? If so, then Lian Youyou was really scary.
“Ah… she stole my carriage… hehe…” After Yi Jixuan sighed, he laughed and slowly recounted his encounter with Lian Youyou.
Fu Mingsui was stunned after hearing this. What Yi Jixuan described was really similar to Lian Youyou's style. It seemed that Lian Youyou did not approach Yi Jixuan deliberately, but robbed his carriage by coincidence.
He suddenly remembered that the first time he went to Jiumen with Fu Mingrui, he did see a luxurious and exquisite carriage. There was only a carriage but no horses. Could it be that the carriage of his brother-in-law Yi Jixuan
Lian Youyou is so weird, does his second brother Fu Mingrui know
"A-choo!" Fu Mingrui sneezed in the study of the Eight Gates. A few days ago, another case of dismemberment occurred in the West City of the capital. As the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet was approaching, the security of the capital was the top priority. With such a big criminal case, the Eight Gates must solve it immediately and not affect the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet. Otherwise, Emperor Cheng would be unhappy and half of them would be in trouble.
So we fought continuously and finally captured the murderer.
When he returned to the Eight Gates recently, he learned that his elder brother had brought the young prince to look for Lian Youyou recently. It was said that it was also a very magical and mysterious case.
"Sir, now the whole capital knows that King Kang has the third eye." Zhao Cheng and his friends loved to gossip when they had nothing to do. When they talked about King Kang having the third eye, they did so with a smile. Obviously, they treated it as a joke.
Of course, they only dared to say this within the Eight Gates. Who would dare to laugh at King Kang in front of him and say that he had the third eye
Fu Mingrui drank a sip of hot tea and slept for two full days before he finally recovered.
As long as it is a major criminal case, Fu Mingrui will not go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to rest. Firstly, it is inconvenient to handle the case, and secondly, he does not want to make his father and elder brother worry.
Many times, Fu Mingrui felt that this courtyard of the Eight Gates was his home, and he felt more comfortable here. Here, his world was only about investigating and solving cases. But in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he still had the identity of the second son of the Left Prime Minister. He... didn't like that identity.
"Sir, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?" Wang Quan also said with a smile, and he almost slapped his thigh and said: Isn't this something only a fool would believe
Fu Mingrui sat behind the desk. If it was before, he certainly wouldn't believe it. When he heard about this case, his first feeling was that it was done by a human. The symptoms of being half asleep and half awake were too similar to **.
But now, it was Lian Youyou next door who solved the case, and he was a little unsure about it. (To be continued)
