Chapter 254: Weird 【16】

After Xue Yuanjing opened his mouth, the arrogant doorman suddenly recognized him and opened the door quickly: "It turns out that the master is back, please come in quickly."

Xue Yuanjing stared at him like a torch, and asked, "Where are you from? What housekeeper recruited you? Uncle Zhang has something to do at home, so why did you change to be the concierge?"

The uncle Zhang in Xue Yuanjing's mouth was the concierge hired by him personally. He said he was hired, but in fact it was to take care of the old man with a heavy burden on the family.

Otherwise, Xue Yuanjing would not care at all if the mansion changed to a concierge.

The new concierge didn't dare to look at Xue Yuanjing, and stammered down and couldn't say clearly: "Old, sir, the villain is a local, Uncle Zhang has an accident at home, and went home..."

Xue Yuanjing was impatient to hear what he couldn't explain here, turned his head and said to Yuan Jia, "Brother, let's go in."

The concierge boldly blocked the way of the two: "Master wait a moment, the villain has already asked someone to inform Butler He, and Butler He will be here soon."

Xue Yuanjing glanced at him coldly, and hummed, "I need to report back to my house?"

The doorman was so frightened that he shrank back, not daring to stop him.

Then the two went directly into Xue's house, and a servant saw Xue Yuanjing and recognized him, but their first reaction was to run away.

Yuan Jia's habitual consciousness swept away, and then his face changed, and he frowned: "Yuan Jing, your butler He is very courageous, you just hadn't come back for a few years, and he took up your residence in a grand manner. , this is taking yourself as the master of the Xue family."

His divine sense saw that all the servants who ran away went to the main courtyard to tip off a man named Butler He.

Xue Yuanjing believed Yuan Jia's words firmly, and with a gloomy face, he stepped up and strode towards his residence. Before entering the courtyard, he saw the forty-year-old Butler He came over to salute him in a panic: "Old slave pays homage to the master, Master, you are finally back, this old slave..."

Xue Yuanjing didn't care about him at all, he reached out and pushed him away, and walked straight into the yard.

Butler He chased after him in a panic: "Master! Master!"

However, Xue Yuanjing had already entered the courtyard and saw the servants who were hurriedly cleaning up the house.

Xue Yuanjing looked at the things in the hands of the people, and turned his head to show a stern smile to Butler He, who was chasing after him: "You stopped me from letting me in, just to hide the fact that he was occupying the magpie's nest?"

Butler He was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kept kowtowing: "Master, spare your life! Master, spare your life! This old slave is just a ghost..."

At that time, Xue Yuanjing was taken away by Jiang Li and other three people as road-exploring cannon fodder. He didn't know his life or death. Xue Yuanjing was already mentally prepared to die in Xuejiazhuang.

Therefore, before he left, he explained to Butler He that if he could not come back, the Xue family would sell other properties except this house in exchange for severance pay, and all servants would be dismissed.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yuanjing went to Xuejiazhuang to find Yuan Jia. The two brothers recognized each other. After he left Xuejiazhuang, he followed Jiang Li directly to the headquarters of the Night Watch Division in the capital. In recent years, he has not returned to Wuxi City.

Xue Yuanjing thought that the housekeeper had already dispatched the servants according to his instructions, and when he came back, he saw an empty house, so he didn't want to come back.

Now I happened to investigate the ghost king with Yuan Jia, and found Wuxi City, so I went back to Xue Mansion to live for a few days.

After knocking on the door, he found that there were still people in Xue's house. Xue Yuanjing only thought that Butler He did not dismiss the servants as he said, and was still waiting for him to come back. It never occurred to me that Butler He thought he was dead, so he simply took over the property and mansion he left behind and became the master of the house.

This kind of behavior made Xue Yuanjing very uncomfortable.

When he walked into the house, he saw that the house of himself and his deceased wife was occupied by the housekeeper He. Some of the utensils of him and the deceased wife were exchanged, and some were used by the housekeeper He, and the anger in his heart became more and more vigorous.

Xue Yuanjing walked out of the room, looked at Butler He who was still kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and said furiously, "I can let you go, but you should never touch my wife's things! If I let you go like this, what face will I have to see her in the future!"

Xue Yuanjing mercilessly arrested He Steward and sent him to the government in Wuxi City.

The rest of the servants in Xue's house are all loyal people who are in the same nest with Butler He, and are not willing to join forces with Butler He, such as the concierge Uncle Zhang, who is thinking of Xue Yuanjing's kindness and wants to stop Butler He. The dove occupied the magpie's nest, but was driven away.

Xue Yuanjing directly sold the servants who had a deed of prostitution, and drove away those who did not, and then brought back all those who had been expelled by Steward He because of their loyalty to him.

Xue Yuanjing's status is extraordinary now. The government in Wuxi City used him as an uncle, and with the help of the government, everything was settled smoothly.

It's just that Xue Yuanjing's mood is not at all better. He looks at the place where he and his wife once lived, and he feels sad and regretful. Although he has tried his best to restore it, there are still many things that have been sold or thrown away by the housekeeper He and can't be found again. .

Yuan Jia accompanied him silently, looking at Xue Yuanjing's sad and nostalgic expression, Yuan Jia knew that he must have a deep relationship with his deceased wife, otherwise he would not keep the original layout without any changes after his wife's death, just to see things Thinking people.

Xue Yuanjing sighed deeply: "Brother, do you think she turned into a ghost, or was she reincarnated?"

Yuan Jia comforted: "There is no yin here at all. My younger brother and sister should have been reincarnated and started a new life. You should be happy for her. If you want to come here, younger brother and sister do not want you to be immersed in grief and unable to come out."

In fact, whether there is reincarnation in this world is not something that Yuan Jia can spy on. He doesn't know either. He only knows that the souls of those who cannot be turned into ghosts will disappear directly after death. The unpredictable place of reincarnation, everything is just a mystery.

But Yuan Jia knew very well what Xue Yuanjing wanted to hear now, and he was willing to use some white lies to comfort his sad brother.

Xue Yuanjing smiled reluctantly and said, "I know, but it's too hard to let go, eldest brother."

He has never been the kind of person who can let go, so he will be immersed in the hatred of annihilation and desperate for revenge, and will not continue after the death of his wife in childbirth.

"Brother, do you think I'm the fate of Tiansha Guxing? I'm a relative, a friend, a wife?"

Yuan Jia looked at Xue Yuanjing's helpless and bewildered eyes, choked his breath, and filled his heart with unspeakable sadness.

He stretched out his hand and embraced Xue Yuanjing in his arms, patted him on the back like a child, and said softly: "There is no such thing as a celestial being in this world, some are just natural and man-made disasters. My parents and I were killed back then. It was the foe that Dad made when he walked the rivers and lakes to take revenge. Do you still see this kind of vendetta? When my father made a revenge with the murderer, you were not born yet, what does it have to do with you? Don't blame the murderer on yourself The eldest brother is also very sorry for the death of the younger brother and sister, but there are so many pregnant women in the world who died of dystocia, are all of them the husband's?"

Yuan Jia pity Xue Yuanjing very much, because he is the male protagonist, maybe it is the fate of Tiansha Guxing, because male protagonists with great bitterness and hatred are not uncommon.

These fantasy worlds are derived from various fantasy works in the main world, such as novels, movies, TV dramas, animation games and other works. In order to promote the development of the plot, the people around the protagonist will always suffer from misfortune.

Yuan Jia will be bound to the system to travel through, isn't it because he is a cannon fodder brother who was killed by the plot?

In the fantasy world derived from these fantasy works, all the characters and plots have become reality. Those who die are really dead, and those who live are really suffering.

Seeing Xue Yuanjing's sad expression, Yuan Jia said in her heart, "Don't let me know who the creator of the original plot of this world is, otherwise..."

Xue Yuanjing stayed in the Xue Mansion for one night, and the next day he took the initiative to lock the door of the main courtyard and said to Yuan Jia, "Brother, you are right, I should come out."

Now that the world is so difficult, how can he continue to indulge in the past and make his big brother worry about him?

Yuan Jia glanced at the big iron lock hanging on the door and said, "Aren't you going to come back in the future?"

Xue Yuanjing shook his head and said, "No, just closed the main courtyard. I don't want anyone to disturb her anymore."

Yuan Jia couldn't sympathize with his feelings and chose to respect his decision.

But Yuan Jia can also see that Xue Yuanjing's mood is much better today than yesterday.

Xue Yuanjing moved to another yard to live in. Xue's mansion is so big, and there are several yards. After closing the main yard where he has been living, it is not too small to change to another yard.

The two began to investigate clues about the ghost king in Wuxi City. The first thing they checked was the number of people who disappeared or died for no reason in Wuxi City in recent years.

Compare that with the number of missing deaths from long ago to see if there is a problem.

Then check again whether those missing people are really missing, or died quietly, and what is the cause of death.

The specific investigation work does not need Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing to do it in person. The government of Wuxi City and the Night Watch Division will fully cooperate. They only need to help when the investigation is deadlocked to see if there are ghosts involved.

This investigation took only a few months, and it only checked the situation of the missing and dead people in the past five years.

In the past five years, the number of missing people has gradually increased, and the number of people who have died suddenly has also gradually increased, but it is not frequent, and no one has carefully investigated, and has never been found.

Now the government has spent a lot of effort to investigate carefully, and the results of this investigation are shocking.

According to the distribution of the dead population, Yuan Jia drew a circle on the map of Wuxi City: "If there is really a ghost that is slowly collecting the blood of the heart in the dark, then it should hide here."

Xue Yuanjing looked at the map, his face changed slightly: "Xuejiazhuang?"

Yuan Jia nodded: "Xuejiazhuang is listed as a forbidden place by the government, and it is blocked by the lost white fog. It is dangerous nearby, but it is also the best hiding place for ghosts."

Xue Yuanjing looked at Yuan Jia, hesitated, and asked, "Can it escape your perception, eldest brother?"

Xue Yuanjing knew that Yuan Jia had the ability to perceive in a wide range, which was actually Yuan Jia's spiritual detection.

This question is a little embarrassing.

It stands to reason that a ghost is hiding near Xuejiazhuang. If Yuanjia's consciousness is released and swept away, it will not be able to hide.

But didn't Yuan Jia wear it halfway through? It wasn't him who was blocked in Xuejiazhuang by the lost white mist before.
