180. One by one (big chapter(1/2)
Night falls and another day is over.
Mo Xiao sat in front of the window and stared blankly at the crescent moon on the first day, and suddenly some scenes of the past in Yicui Tower flashed through his mind.
She was bright and charming at that time.
She was beautiful at that time.
At that time, she was full of peaches and plums.
At that time, she was the top girl in Yicuilou. She lived a glorious life, had a good meal and a spicy meal, wore gold and silver, had a pair of legs, and money and baht flowed in like water.
But Mo Xiao did not like such days. She was different from the vulgar women in the building who opened their mouths and said, "Caught You" and shut up and shouted "Caught Me". She was born in a scholarly family and her ancestors were all juren for three generations.
Originally, her fate should be to meet a scholar with a cheerful smile on a drizzling day, and then marry him on a sunny day, add fragrance to him, and accompany him to read a lot of books.
Unfortunately, everything changed one afternoon. The Xiao family fell into prison, and their brothers and sisters and a group of children were wandering on the streets.
It was hard to live on the streets, and it was even more sad than entering Yicui Tower, but she had a good life, so although she later entered Yicui Tower and wore gold and silver, she was not satisfied. What she wanted was to study at night with red sleeves.
So when she became the top star in the building, she took the initiative to meet the scholars who came to the building to take the exam, and generously donated funds to help them go to Beijing to take the exam, hoping that they could give themselves a title when they succeeded.
She doesn't ask for the family, she just wants to add fragrance to her husband Hongxiu.
Unfortunately, there are many scholars who come to Yicuilou to take the exam, but not many can go to high school, and there is not even one who remembers her in high school.
Later she figured it out that the stories of the pride and talented men in opera novels are fake. Perhaps there are some good men with affection and righteousness in the world, but how could those people come to the brothel to have fun?
In order to move the scholars, she specially selected some poor scholars to support them.
These people thanked her very much on the ground, and were full of affection. They were tender and tender in the bed, but when they turned their heads, they abandoned her.
How loving the poor scholars are!
Thinking about it, what is the scholar who is in poverty and still nostalgic for brothels? He scolds them for being "slutty", and the rogues on the streets and alleys are unhappy and feels insulting themselves.
In short, after experiencing several emotional injuries, Mo Xiao suddenly found that he was not young. Two lines of poetry he read with his father when he was a child appeared in front of her:
My brother went away and the aunt died. I went to the morning and the color came. The saddle and horse were deserted in front of the door, and the eldest married a businessman and a wife!
Mo Xiao suddenly woke up!
The old saying goes, prostitutes will not change their money.
Once a woman makes up her mind, she will be much more ruthless than a man in doing things.
Mo Xiao chose the best one from the licking dogs she raised, that is, Mo Jiahao from Tongfu Inn, and then quickly married him.
The reason why I chose Mo Jiahao was not only because the Mo family was rich, but also because he only had one original wife and did not have several bitches at home like other dogs.
Mo Jiahao is not a scholar, and Mo Xiao cannot add fragrance to him, so she has other purposes to marry him.
She wants to find a safe guarantee for the rest of her life.
All the roadblocks that prevent her from achieving her goal must be moved away!
"Dongdongdong! Dadongdong! Dadongdongdong! Dadongdong! Dadongdong!"
A sudden knock on the door interrupted her thoughts in memory. Mo Xiao raised the candle and asked vigilantly: "Who?"
"The boss lady, it's me, Xiaoer, Wang Xiaoer."
Mo Xiao twisted his hips and shook his hips to open the door, and a honest and round face appeared in front of her: "Waiter, have you found out what I asked you to inquire?"
Wang Xiaoer wiped his sweat and said, "I've inquired, there are indeed many dead people in the room in the backyard."
"How did they die?" Mo Xiao asked hurriedly, and a bang sound sounded downstairs. When she heard this sound, she hurriedly said, "You come in and talk."
She took a step back in a restless manner to get out of position. Wang Xiaoer followed her and was about to walk in, but he looked up and saw that his round face suddenly showed a look of horror. He turned around and ran away without saying a word!
‘Dingdengdeng’, the figure disappeared into the corridor.
Suddenly, Mo Xiao was unable to react. She was stunned for a moment, and then she felt chilled: There was something behind her!
The fool Wang Xiaoer was so scared that he didn't even dare to say a word, and turned around and ran away!
She knew Wang Xiaoer's personality. What was the thing that almost happened to this young man's head, honest and reckless, that scared such a young man so much that he didn't dare to speak out and was only concerned about running for his life?
Mo Xiao's body became stiff.
The night wind blew in from the window, blew the scrolls on the coffee table beside the bed, blew the curtains on the head of the bed, and blew something floating behind her.
The floating thing swept across the back of her neck, so wet like a strip of fine cloth soaked in water, and like a waterweed?
Mo Xiao did not look back. She gritted her teeth and held her urine, held her candle and walked out of the door.
At night, the corridor is pitch black and quiet.
This is somewhat abnormal.
Tongfu Inn is a big hotel. On weekdays, lanterns will be hung in the corridor for lighting when it is sunset.
However, occasionally, some poor-character guests will extinguish the fire in the lanterns, so she was not afraid at first when she went out to see the darkness.
After all, this is where she has lived for more than twenty years.
She has also stepped on this staircase for more than twenty years and is very skilled in each step, so she is not afraid of breaking through the air, so she walked down quickly.
She lives on the fourth floor and can enter the lobby by walking through three stairs. However, after turning three times, she was shocked to find that the stairs appeared in front of her - the stairs and the darkness.
The lobby did not appear.
The light did not appear either.
Only a candle in her hand emitted a dim and dim light.
Someone swept the back of his neck again.
She bit her lip and continued walking downwards.
The more I left, the more panicked she felt, and the more I walked, the colder her body became.
The lobby still did not appear. She seemed to be locked in a maze composed of corridors, dark, silent, and deserted.
She slowly walked down the stairs, and by the candlelight she counted the passing stairs-
One staircase, third floor.
Two staircases, the second floor.
There are three stairs, and the entrance to the lobby does not appear!
Ghost hits the wall!
The staircase was familiar, but the light was too dim at this time. She looked at the outline of the staircase and felt a monster opening its dark mouth.
She had to face the monster's open mouth. There was a nameplate engraved with floors at the entrance of the stairs. She mustered up the courage to look at the nameplate and talked to herself to make her courage: "I want to know which floor this is!"
Before she could see the words on the nameplate, she suddenly touched the back of her ear and said coldly: "This is the fourth layer, Eight Cold Hell!"
This thing suddenly appeared behind her, and the sound suddenly rang behind her ears. Mo Xiao's tense heartstrings suddenly broke. She turned around and screamed loudly: "Ah!!! Give me your life!"
"Give me your life, sir!" Manager Mo bowed to Wang Qilin repeatedly, "Mr. Wang, those corpses are really not harmed by villains. How can the villains have such courage?"
Wang Qilin sat opposite him and sneered: "Either tell me some news about the corpses, or tell me some news about Lord Zhang. In short, you must explain some news to me tonight, otherwise you will be ready to sleep in prison tonight."
"For the sake of our years of friendship, I would like to remind you," Dou Dachun came up and smiled slightly, "The jail in the yamen has been making trouble twice in the past ten days!"
Manager Mo was so scared that he was trembling with fat. He said with a sad face: "Sir, you guys, there is nothing to explain. I don't know any of the corpses. The house was sealed after my wife died and had never been opened during this period."
"Mr. Zhang has nothing to explain. Every day when he comes back from the yamen, he enters the house and stops appearing, and does not let people enter his house. Oh, Lord. Li Ying and Li went in a few nights ago, and no one has entered his house or dealt with him!"
Hearing this, Wang Qilin sat upright and asked, "Li Ying went to find Zhang Ruhui? Why didn't you say such important news before? When did he go to find it?"
Manager Mo said, "It was the night before Lord Li was imprisoned, and the night that Lord Zhang had just arrived. At that time, Lord Zhang went to his mansion to attend a banquet and came back at midnight. Not long after, Lord Li chased him again, and I led him into Lord Zhang's room."
"What's behind?"
"Not long afterwards, I just went downstairs to sit down in the lobby, and Lord Li came out. I guess he had at most said a few words to Lord Zhang in the room."
"Did Lord Li show abnormality after coming out?"
Manager Mo racked his brains to think about it, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head.
At this time, a shout came from outside the yamen: "Sir! Shopkeeper's! Sir! Shopkeeper's..."
"Who is making noise!" Yang Dazui pressed his waist knife and shouted fiercely.
Wang Xiaoer from the inn rushed in. He shouted in a hurry: "The master of the Tendering School, the master of the yamen, and the shopkeeper Mo, our inn is haunted! The proprietress is crazy, go and have a look, she is constantly seeking death!"
Hearing this, Manager Mo suddenly collapsed and his legs fell to the ground: "How could this happen?"
Wang Qilin picked up the demon sword and walked out quickly: "Come with me and talk on the way. Lord Dou and Lord Yang, you two bring Manager Mo to the back."
Wang Xiaoer told him the whole story on the road. It was very simple. It was the time to have dinner on Huadeng. The inn was busy, and suddenly he heard a scream on the fourth floor:
"It's the boss's scream. I can hear it clearly. Her scream is very scary!"
"Then our friend and some guests ran up hurriedly and saw her leaning against the door of the room screaming desperately. When she saw me coming up, she stopped calling and smiled at us and returned to the room."
"We were relieved and thought it was okay. Some people were leaving. Fortunately, I became more cautious and followed her into the house to take a look. Then I saw her pushing the window open and jumping out!"
"I pulled her back, and then she stepped on the stool to tie a knot on the beam of the house to hang it!"
"I rescued her again, and she changed to sprinkling irrigate on her body and wanted to burn herself to death!"
