Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 261 Haunted
In the inn, I heard that the shopkeeper was beaten to protect Hu Jiu and others, so Hu Qian paid an extra ten taels of silver.

The shopkeeper's mind was active, and when he saw Chu Chu and the others coming out intact, and seeing several people surrounding Hu Qian, he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Inspector."

When the diners in the store saw him, they all bowed and saluted.

"Hu Jiu, have you noticed where there is a suitable house?"

Hu Jiudao: "According to the inspector's yamen, I have seen all the suitable houses near the gate, and there is only one suitable house on Zhengyang Street, which is the house of the former Marquis of Dongping."

"Marquis of Dongping?"

"Master Kong said that this is the house of Li Dingyuan, the founding hero. Later, it fell into decline. It has been passed down to this generation. The descendants are addicted to gambling, love leisure and work, and the things left by the family are about to be pawned."

"In that case, no one wants to buy it?"

"That's true, but the house seems to be haunted."

"Haunted?"

"Yes, so although the Li family has always said that they want to sell it, no one cares about it."

"Where are Xu Fengnian and Kong Xueli?"

"After the two masters heard about this house, they decided that the young master would definitely buy it, so they went to discuss it in advance."

Hu Qian laughed, "Since having the two of them, it has saved me a lot of time.

Oh, by the way, Jiaona and the others are still waiting at the Hongfu Inn, you go and inform them, just go to Li's house to find me. "

"Master, are you sure you want to buy it?"

"It's not about buying. By the time we pass by, the two of them must have already bought the house."

Hu Jiu shook his head, unwilling to believe it.

Hu Qian waved his hand and told him to just do it. He led Chuchu and the others to Li's house first.

"In the previous situation, I didn't have time to ask you..."

Hu Qian and Chu Chu walked at the back side by side, letting Da Zhu and Er Zhu lead the way, and Sister Feng followed at the back.

Chu Chu said: "If you have anything to do, just ask."

Hu Qian said: "Then Chao Sihai said that you beat him, but is it true?"

Chu Chudao: "My husband didn't tell me, but I forgot. When Chao Sihai rushed into the house, my concubine picked up the scissors and committed suicide. She accidentally slapped him on the arm and pushed him down."

Hu Qian was taken aback, "Oh? My lady, you have such a strong hand!"

Chu Chu said: "I don't know what's going on either."

Hu Qian said: "You hit me now and try with all your strength."

Chu Chu said: "Master, this is not good, this... Even if I am dead, I dare not do anything to Mr. Xiang."

"It doesn't matter, you just have to do it."

Chu Chu suddenly knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes, "If Mr. Xianggong thinks that this concubine is not good, he will abandon this concubine. I have nothing to say about this concubine, but don't let this concubine do this, I can't do it..."

Sister Feng and the others were taken aback, and they didn't dare to ask, they just looked at Hu Qian and Hu Qian in amazement.

Hu Qian quickly pulled her up, "Okay, okay, let's talk about it when we get back."

After walking for a while, Chu Chuhu said again: "Does Mr. Xiang feel that the concubine who was touched by Chao Sihai is an unclean person? I swear to the sky that I really didn't..."

Hu Qian really felt that women in ancient times were both cute and pathetic. Looking at her pitiful appearance, he said softly, "No, Mr. Xiang believes in you."

When he arrived at Li's house, Hu Qian couldn't help admiring.

This house occupies half of the street, with a tall lintel, even if it is not haunted, it is by no means affordable for ordinary people.

After calling the door, it was none other than Xu Fengnian who opened the door.

Seeing Hu Qian, he said happily, "My lord, you're here so soon."

Hu Qian said: "It seems that you have already bought the house?"

"Where do we have the money to buy, we just negotiated in the name of adults, and the rest will wait for adults to come."

"That's right, what about the Li family?"

"I moved out completely a day ago, and I seem to be very afraid of this house."

After a while, Kong Xueli also came out and welcomed Hu Qian and others in.

When he entered the yard, Hu Qian was shocked again.

Opposite the door is a road that is as wide as four horses abreast, and on the left is a large courtyard. According to Kong Xueli, this is where the four nurses lived when the Li family was at its most glorious.

On the right is the stable, with a courtyard on the side, and behind it is the former outer study of Mr. Li, and there are two Yimen.

There is also a Yimen directly in front, which is slightly larger, and there are two corner doors on the left and right.

Passing through the Yimen Gate, there are two large courtyards on the left and right. On the left is the courtyard of Li's eldest son, and on the right is his study.

The front is called Dingyuan Hall, which seems to be taken from Li Dingyuan's name.

There is a warm pavilion on the left and right of the hall, and there are two halls ahead.

Hu Qian asked curiously, "Where do these two corridors lead?"

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "On the left is Mrs. Li Jiatai's yard, and on the right is a study."

"A study room again? The Li family really loves to read and practice calligraphy."

Kong Xueli shook her head, "If this is the case, the family will not be ruined."

Further forward is another Yimen, with two rooms on the left and right, a wing room in the back, and six main rooms behind the wing room.
There are halls on the left and right of the main room, five side rooms on the left, and the courtyard of the eldest lady on the right.

There are two small courtyards in the courtyard, where the eldest son's aunt lives respectively.

Chu Chu was a little tired from walking, Hu Qian saw that there was still a long road ahead, so he asked, "What's behind?"

Kong Xueli said: "The back is the back building, three living rooms, the back yard, the east yard, and the west yard."

Xu Fengnian went on to say: "After that, there are north and south roads, east and west corner gates, flower hall, flower viewing parlor, Changsun's yard, Changsun's aunt's four small courtyards, and after that is a garden the size of this mansion."

Kong Xueli continued: "There are twelve small courtyards in the garden..."

Hu Qian frowned, "Needless to say the small courtyard, what is behind the courtyard."

"The back is the housekeeper's yard, the back door, and many unused yards."

Hu Qian's scalp tingled for a while, "There are so many houses, it's no wonder they're not haunted!"

Kong Xueli asked strangely: "Your Excellency, do you mean that the haunting has something to do with the empty house?"

Hu Qian shook his head, scanned with his supernatural powers, and there was indeed something wrong, but it was not a big problem.

"How much does the Li family ask for?"

"Li's house covers an area of ​​310 acres, with 110 two rooms and 300 seven verandahs. The remaining furniture and horses were originally priced at 180 million taels. After some bargaining, it became [-] million taels."

Hu Qian nodded, "Are there any small houses around?"

Kong Xueli said: "I have looked at all the houses for sale and lease around, and they are either small or far away."

Hu Qian said helplessly: "Okay, what about the Li family?"

"If adults buy it now, I'll call them right away."

Hu Qian nodded, "Since you plan to buy it, you should buy it early so that you can rest assured."

Kong Xueli went out immediately, Xu Fengnian said: "According to the procurator's office is just next to the street, if you walk, you can get there in two quarters of an hour."

"Two quarters of an hour? Isn't that quite a long way?"

"No, the main reason is that it takes about a quarter of an hour to leave the hospital."

"Which room should I live in?"

"Since Madam is not here, you don't need to go to the main room first, just find a side room to live in."

Hu Qian asked Chu Chu to choose, Chu Chu looked at it for a while, and then pointed to a courtyard.

When Hu Qian saw it, his complexion changed slightly—she was impartial, and she was choosing the haunted yard.
