Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 238 The Empty House (Ticket Request)
This time Su Yixin brought Gu Qingjue Luo Wushang, as well as his elder brother Li Zhengzhen and Gao Ge.

The four of them controlled the swords. They set off in the morning until the sun was about to set before setting down beside a meadow ten miles outside Shuozhou City.

Then walk into the city.

By the time they entered the city, the sun had completely set.

The four first found an inn to stay.

On the second day, I went to Futing Street, which Yang Junsheng had found before.

Futing Street is the street of the Fan family.

After fifteen or sixteen years of change, the people who were close to Fan's house moved out one after another. Not only Fan's house was covered with weeds, but also the neighboring houses were covered with weeds.

"Let's go to a nearby family to inquire about the news."

The family next to Gu Qingjue mentioned was about three families away from Fan Zhai.

There was a seventy-year-old woman sitting in front of that family's door.

On such a cold day, she was not inside the house, but lit a fire at the door, and there was a rocking chair wrapped in old cotton wool next to her. After the fire was lit, she lay down on the rocking chair.

"Old man."

Su Yixin yelled.

The old woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at Su Yixin.

The whites of her eyes are cloudy, and her voice is more like a broken gong, very hoarse: "Little girl, who are you looking for?"

"Old man, my surname is Su. I want to find my relatives. She used to live in that family's house."

The old woman followed Su Yixin's finger and saw Fan Zhai.

"Oh, you are looking for that family. Then don't look for it, that family has long since disappeared."

"Old man, I am Fan's distant cousin, and I have come to join them."

The old woman looked at Su Yixin, Gu Qingjue and others again.

Seeing that they were all well dressed, he smiled: "Little girl, you are not telling the truth."

"Look at what you're wearing, they're not the children of ordinary families. This family disappeared 16 years ago. If you're here to look for it now, you don't want to seek refuge. You obviously want to ask about the whereabouts of the Fan family."

Su Yixin: "..."

You really can't fool the old man.

People are old-hearted, and their minds are clear.

Gu Qingjue took a step forward at this time, and said: "Don't blame the old man. He is really old and has some scruples, so he said that. My name is Gu Qingjue, and my mother's surname is Fan. I found this place after many inquiries. I want to know if my mother was born in this family."

The old man sighed.

After a long time, he said: "The old woman has lived here all her life, tell me, what is your mother's name?"

"Fan Chengfang."

The old woman's eyes opened quite a bit.

Sitting up, looking at Gu Qingjue, he looked up and down carefully.

Then she nodded: "Looking closely, you do look a bit like Fang girl, but her name is Fan Huifang, not Fan Chengfang."

Fan Huifang, Fan Chengfang.

It is very likely that the Fan family changed their name after leaving Shuozhou.

"Hey!"

The old woman sighed: "This Fan family is already very beautiful."

As the old woman spoke, she looked into the distance, and her voice began to become ethereal, telling all the things she knew.

The Fan family is Ding Xingwang, but Fan Huifang is the only daughter of the Fan family.

The Fan family is extremely favored in the Fan family. They can play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, riding, shooting, everything, let alone a woman, there are very few men in Shuozhou who can match her.

It is said that Fan's guarding in Shuozhou was based on the order of his ancestors, guarding a secret.

No one knows what the secret is.

Sixteen years ago, Shuozhou, which had always been peaceful, suddenly flooded with a large number of foreigners. They all stayed outside Fan Zhai, wanting to find out what was going on inside.

But Fan's masters are like a cloud, guarding Fan's house like an iron bucket.

It is not easy to find out any news.

I don't know what happened, but suddenly one night, the people staying outside Fan's house disappeared overnight. The next morning, the neighbors who came and went found that Fan's house was quiet, like an empty house.

Even the guards who usually guarded the door were gone.

The neighbor was suspicious, so he knocked on the door.

After knocking for a long time, no one came, so I pushed hard, but I didn't expect to push the door open.

The huge Fan's house disappeared without a trace overnight, and there was no one there.

Everything inside, except flowers and plants, was taken away.

Speaking of this, the old woman retracted the focus she had let go, and said to Gu Qingjue: "It's really strange, I have been guarding the door, but I didn't see how the Fan family disappeared."

After hearing this, Su Yixin also found it incredible.

To say that the family was exterminated, how long would it take for the entire Fan clan, with hundreds of people, to be killed?

drug?

Those people wandered outside Fan's house for so long, Fan's house had already been prepared. Even if some people were negligent, it is impossible for so many people to be poisoned at the same time.

Hundreds of people evaporated overnight?

After thanking the old lady, Su Yixin quietly put some broken silver under the old lady's rocking chair.

It's not that Su Yixin doesn't want to give more.

In the case of the old lady, too large a denomination of silver would only bring her troubles, and some broken silver would be more practical for her.

"I want to go in and see."

"it is good."

Times have changed, and the Fan house, which was uninhabited 15 years ago, is full of weeds, and the trees planted in those years were grown unscrupulously without anyone pruning them.

Several people pulled the weeds forward.

Fortunately, it is winter now, and the grass and trees are already withered and yellow, so it doesn't need to be so strenuous.

"Is this the main hall?"

Good guy, there is nothing in the main hall, not only no table, not even a chair.

I don't know whether it was the Fan family who took it away, or someone came in and took these things away when Fan's house was empty.

Go out from the main hall and walk to the left for a while, except for the deserted garden and the collapsed courtyard wall, there is nothing else to be found.

They went back to the main hall and passed by from the right. There should be rows of wing rooms, and some of the door frames have fallen off. Looking inside, there is nothing.

All in all clean.

All that was left was this empty shell.

Li Zhengzhen looked at Gu Qingjue and said, "Ziyuan, why don't we go back to the inn first?"

"Lets see!"

Gu Qingjue said: "If they were not silenced overnight, then there should be a tunnel in the mansion. Only in this way can it be explained that the old woman at the door did not see anyone coming out, but all the people disappeared overnight. "

Li Zhengzhen scratched his head: "If there is an authentic one, it's hard to find."

It is related to the fate of a family, so it must be set up very secretively. If Fan's house is normal, it is still possible to find it. Now it is full of weeds, and all clues are covered by weeds. It is too difficult to find.

Su Yixin looked at the withered and yellowed weeds all over the yard, and said, "Brother, I will set up a formation now, and you will be responsible for burning all these weeds."
