A knife in love

Chapter 1238

When Wang Xiaoyu said this, his eyes were full of hatred.She went on to say: "It's bitterly cold outside the pass, and scholars can't stand the cold air here. Although several famous civil servants were dispatched here, they were tossed to death within a few months. Naturally, ordinary literati would not come here to suffer. Because there is no one to set up a hall to teach students, most of the people are illiterate and do not understand the teachings of saints. As a result, the people in Dongliao County are extremely bad. I bought some silver and built the Wangjiazhuang. Some unruly people were red-eyed, so they thought of killing my father and dividing up the Wang family's property. I heard that even the bandits around Liaoyang Mansion are trying to trick my father. Some people deliberately said that my father got Shen Wansan's cornucopia in the pass and hid it at home. Every night when no one was around, my father would take out the cornucopia, and he could get thousands of taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver overnight. The people who spread these rumors just wanted to lure those bandits to Wangjiazhuang to embarrass my father, and when the time comes to use these bandits to destroy Wangjiazhuang, they can also get a share of the profit."

Murong Danyan saw Wang Xiaoyu's expression was bitter, so he could only comfort her and said: "Sister Xiaoyu, don't worry too much. There are certainly some ungrateful people in Zhuangzi, but I see that many people still sincerely respect Wang Yuanwai and his sister. Those who do evil After all, there are not many gangsters. Otherwise, on Motianling tonight, how could Sister Xiaoyu expose Wu Laosi's plot with just a few words. Later, even his hard-core confidantes fought back? It shows that people's hearts are available , these villains will definitely not harm Wang Yuanwai."

Wang Xiaoyu smiled wryly and said: "The brothers of the Zheng family are also treacherous. Seeing that Wu Laosi was exposed by me, they dared not do anything wrong. My sister just asked me, since I was guarding against these people, why did I take them out?" I just thought that if these guys stayed in Zhuangzi, they might cover up something. Once they leave Zhuangzi, they must act with little scruples, and I can find out their conspiracy. Hmph, although these guys are cunning, they can I will not let them bully me. Tonight, I will take Wu Lao Si's flag and kill a chicken to show the monkeys, so as to frustrate these guys."

Murong Danyan was startled when he heard Wang Xiaoyu's vicious words, and recalled the situation on Motian Ridge.She thought to herself, Sister Xiaoyu wanted that Second Brother Mao to escort Wu Lao Si back to Wangjiazhuang, saying that after dawn, he would drive his brother and sister out of the Zhuangzi.Could it be that Sister Xiaoyu had already made arrangements to expel Wu Lao Si, but in fact she wanted to kill him secretly?

Thinking of this, Murong Danyan only felt a chill welling up on the soles of his feet.It's just that Wang Xiaoyu looked confident, but he couldn't get to the bottom of it, so he changed the topic and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, you said that Steward Wang saved you, so what happened?"

Wang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "This matter has a lot to do with the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts. More than ten years ago, my father bought land and built a house outside the city of Dongliao County in order to accommodate the Wang clan members brought over from the pass. The Wangjiazhuang we live in now. When my father bought the land, he had a plan. In addition to the land for building a house, he also had to cultivate some fields for the food of the tribe. Therefore, the land he bought was not limited to Wangjiazhuang. , including the fields around Laoweng Mountain behind Wangjiazhuang.

"Our Wangjiazhuang faces east and west. Laoweng Mountain is half a mile east of Wangjiazhuang. There are two to three hundred acres of fertile land around it. According to my father's plan, I originally planned to distribute the two to three hundred acres of land to the tribe for cultivation. It can also make a lot of money. It's just that people are bullying when they are kind, and my father didn't notice it for a while, and he was fooled."

When Murong Danyan heard Wang Xiaoyu's tone suddenly became serious, he knew that Wang Yuanwai must have suffered a big loss, and he became suspicious.I just heard Wang Xiaoyu say: "That was more than ten years ago. Although my father has been in Dongliao County for some years, he just lives in the county seat and doesn't know the situation around Laoweng Mountain. He came here to buy land. Someone mediated through it, and my father saw that the land here was really good and the price was very fair, so he bought the field. At the beginning, he was busy building a house and selling medicinal materials, so he seldom paid attention to the cultivation of the field. Until the spring plowing, he I brought the elders of the clan to divide the fields and cultivate them, only then did I realize that Old Man Mountain and Old Man Mountain are actually haunted..."

Murong Danyan was taken aback, thinking to himself that Dongliao County is just a small remote county, how could it be haunted everywhere?Could it be that the people here have lost the enlightenment of the sages and have become friends with ghosts?

Wang Xiaoyu said: "There is a ruin at the foot of the old man's mountain. It is said that the Khitan people built a big temple here. It's just that the Kingdom of Jin rose up and defeated the Khitan people. The army of the Kingdom of Jin chased the Liao army and killed Hao on the Motian Ridge. Tens of thousands of Khitan people captured more than 1 defeated Khitan soldiers. The Jin soldiers escorted these prisoners to the big temple at the foot of Old Man Mountain, locked the door, and set a fire outside the temple, burning the big temple to the ground. In Baidi, more than 1 Khitan people in the temple were also burned to death."

When Wang Xiaoyu said this, his voice trembled, and he said to Murong Danyan: "Sister Murong, those more than 1 Khitan people were imprisoned in the temple, and they thought they could survive, but they were tortured to death. The resentment is soaring. These evil spirits have been around the foot of Laoweng Mountain ever since, and they start to make troubles at night. The large area of ​​land near Laoweng Mountain was originally a rare fertile field outside Dongliao County. Because of the evil spirits, many people died. No matter how people dared to farm, it became desolate. Later, more than [-] or [-] households living near Laoweng Mountain were killed by evil spirits, and more than a hundred people died, and several families even died inexplicably. The remaining people were terrified. It was tight, so I had to leave my hometown and escape from Laoweng Mountain. When my father bought the land, there were only three families left at the foot of Laoweng Mountain.

"It is said that after the Jin soldiers burned down the great temple and killed more than 1 Khitan captives, Laowengshan became haunted. However, the cycle of karma and retribution is not good. The Jin State defeated the Liao State and occupied Liaodong. It was originally thought that it would last forever. Enjoy the splendor and wealth. Unexpectedly, the Tartars rose up in Mobei and defeated the Jin soldiers. The Tartar soldiers were vicious and vicious, and they were still above the Jin soldiers. Later, the Tartar soldiers attacked from the desert to the south, all the way to the Central Plains, The other way was to attack Liaodong. There was a Tazi soldier chasing the Jin army and fighting all the way to Motianling. The Jin army held the city on Motianling, but was attacked by the Tazi soldiers. Tens of thousands of Jin soldiers were killed, leaving a few thousand People were captured. The general of the Tartar soldiers heard that the Jin soldiers took the defeated Khitan soldiers to the temple at the foot of the old man and burned them alive. The captured thousands of golden soldiers were escorted to the foot of Old Man Mountain, piled up firewood on the ruins of the great temple, and then set fire to burn these thousands of golden soldiers to death.”

When Murong Danyan heard this, he couldn't help but "ah", and said: "This, this is too cruel. No wonder my father said that the Tartars are cruel. Fighting on the battlefield will inevitably kill and injure people. But even the prisoners will not be spared. , and burn them alive, aren’t you afraid of God’s punishment?!”

Wang Xiaoyu said: "The Jin people and the Tartars are barbarians who have not been educated by saints. They act viciously, no different from animals. On the contrary, the Khitan people admire Chinese civilization. The two countries enjoyed peace for 200 years. When Khitan occupied Liaodong, they seldom killed. As for the Jin people and Tartars, they were not good people. Old Man Mountain was originally haunted by those Khitan spirits, killing many people. After the Tartars burned thousands of golden soldiers to death, there were thousands of resentful spirits here. I heard that the ghosts of the Khitan people and the ghosts of the golden soldiers were not convinced. There was a loud cry of killing, as if two armies were fighting. It is said that these two armies are the ghosts of the Khitan soldiers and the Jin soldiers who were burned to death. However, none of the people in Dongliao County dared to pass near Laoweng Mountain for fear of being killed by these ghosts.

"Until the Tartars occupied the Central Plains, the world was initially settled. In order to appease the people, the Tartars also had to put on a show and sent officials to Liaodong to sacrifice the souls of the dead who died in battle. When they heard that the old man was haunted by ghosts, the Tartar officials asked the rich households to give them money. Gold and silver, I plan to build a new temple on the ruins of the big temple at the foot of the old man's mountain, to save the Khitan people who died in battle and burnt to death, and the ghosts of gold soldiers. These officials raise money to build temples, not for the sake of the people , but wanted to use the opportunity of building a temple to make a fortune. Some wealthy households refused to pay, or the money they paid was less, and they were charged with crimes by Tartar officials and arrested in the Yamen for questioning. Because of the construction of this temple, many people died. After the temple was completed, the officials got enough money. As for whether there will be ghosts, these officials don’t bother to care about it.”
