He Fusheng claimed that the mansion he bought was haunted, and He Ping became interested immediately after hearing it.
"You said it's haunted, what's the method of haunting?"
He Fusheng smiled helplessly.
"Let's start from the beginning..."
He Fusheng thinks that he has been in charge of the He Family for so many years, and he has a unique vision, and he is conscientious and conscientious in everything he does. What he pays attention to is safety.
This time, He Ping wants to transfer He Family's foundation, people, and resources from Suian City. It is not a simple task - it should be said that More than 3,000 people under He Ping were moved from North Prefecture to Longhe County. Such large-scale, hard-working, and strenuous planning was all due to He Fusheng, who single-handedly planned everything.
After entering Longhe County, he arranged his affairs and bought houses and shops everywhere. He never expected that a huge mistake would occur when purchasing this house. For He Fusheng, this matter was quite disappointing in his heart.
"Actually, before I planned to buy this mansion, I asked someone to investigate the past of the mansion to see if anything had happened to the previous owners of the mansion. Master, you should also know that most of the haunted houses that the world calls have nothing to do with ghosts and gods. It's just that something happened to the previous owner of the house. He died of illness or was hanged. These are mostly rumors and may not be true."
He Fusheng said frankly.
"There are many rumors about 'haunted houses' like this in the world, and they are probably not credible in my opinion, but we, He Family, are in business. If there are some bad rumors about the house we sell, it will make outsiders feel bad if it spreads, so I also keep a cautious eye..."
He asked someone to investigate and found that there was nothing unusual about the mansion. The previous owners who had bought the mansion or dealt with it had found nothing unusual in their homes after moving in, so he bought it with confidence.
After buying the mansion, He Fusheng sent his servants to clean the house and wing. This kind of large house covers an extremely large area, with blue bricks and tiles, whirling flowers and trees, exquisite rockery, and deep mansion. It is extremely luxurious.
The original owner was a Zhonghuan Prefecture businessman. Business here was not going well, so he left with his family papers and has been gone for several months.
There are many unused rooms in such a luxurious mansion. Since people want to move in, they have to clean the things that need to be cleaned, and find someone to maintain the things that need to be tidied up and repaired.
Things had been normal up to this point, until He Fusheng took a look around and found a small courtyard deep in the mansion.
This house is very large and originally had many Daoist walls. The previous owner disliked the complexity and demolished many of the walls. Only in this corner near the bamboo forest in the back mountain is there a pavilion surrounded by a blue brick wall.
This pavilion was two stories high. He Fusheng walked in and found that the mansion was made of withered blue bricks. There were no windows on either the first or second floor.
He Fusheng After going around a circle, I didn't see a single window on the side of the house. The only entrance was an iron pear wood door at the front door.
There was a lock hanging on the iron pear wood door. The iron lock was also rusty and had not been opened for an unknown period of time.
"Go, find someone to go in and clean this attic."
He Fusheng didn't think much about it at that time. He just ordered someone to open the wooden lock and go in to clean up the room.
"It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it."
He Ping was sitting in the hall of Mingtang. He picked up the covered cup and took a sip, and continued to ask, "What happened next?"
"It was late that night, so I sent two servants to bring candlelight at night. They probably planned to finish cleaning and rest in the yard. Who knew that the two people would disappear the next day."
He Fusheng frowned.
"Those two people followed us from Suian City He's house and moved all the way to Longhe County. They have been selling themselves to the family since they were young, and they have been serving He Family for many years. I never thought that these two people would disappear, and I also doubted whether they found an opportunity to escape."
As the housekeeper of the He Mansion, He Fusheng would never allow such a person who knew He Family to run away. He quickly sent out guards to investigate the surroundings of the mansion, but found no news about anyone entering and leaving the house at night last night.
"There are also guards guarding the entrances and exits of the mansion. Even if these two people escape over the wall, it is impossible for them to leave without a trace."
He Fusheng calm analysis.
"Considering all the changes, I thought that the disappearance of the two people was definitely related to the masonry pavilion in the small courtyard, so I sent people back to investigate in the courtyard..."
He sent people to investigate the two-story pavilion inside and out, but there were no clues.
He Fusheng After thinking about it, he called over the agent who was selling this house. He was always capable and alert in his work. He did not come up and scold him. Instead, he set up a banquet and got the agent drunk at the banquet. After some insinuations, he got some information from him.
"This person knows very little about the pavilion behind the courtyard. This house was originally managed by another person. Because that person died of a sudden illness, it was left to him to take care of. The previous owner of the house told him that after the house deed was handed over, he should remember to inform the next owner that the house behind the house should be left alone. Don't let anyone enter the house at night, otherwise there will be trouble..."
This person didn't take it seriously at all. He had forgotten about it long ago and didn't even remind He Fusheng who bought the house.
He Fusheng remained calm. After getting this piece of information, he found an acquaintance of his ex-Yaren. After some inquiries, he actually dug out some important information.
"There is nothing wrong with the house. The problem should be the attic. According to the previous fan's book, the attic can 'eat people'."
"Can you eat people?"
"Yes."
He Fusheng continued.
I learned from that person that the previous owner of the mansion was an unemployed high-ranking official. There was a relative in his family and a child he loved very much. While playing in the mansion, he accidentally entered the attic in the courtyard and did not come back all day and night.
The next day, people in the house were also anxious and searched desperately.
Later, an old servant finally recalled that he remembered that the child had gone into the attic yesterday and never came out again...
Everyone hurriedly entered the attic and rummaged around, but still found no one.
Suddenly, a servant noticed that there were pictures of flowers and birds printed on pink paper on the walls of the attic. In addition, there were calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls of the attic. It seemed beautiful and elegant, but the servant found it a little strange.
He casually picked off a calligraphy and painting, and tore off a piece of pink paper wallpaper on the lake wall from the wall behind the calligraphy and painting. With a swish sound, the lake wallpaper fell. The servant couldn't help shouting "Ah", his eyes stared straight, and a big cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
A childish face was reflected behind the wallpaper. It was a painting, and it was the missing child. The child had a fearful face, his hands were dancing wildly, and his whole person was frozen in this picture.
Anyone who sees this painting will admire the painter's brushwork - the frightened appearance of this child seems to have been painted on the wall with exquisite brushstrokes. It is so vivid and lifelike that it seems like a living person has been captured by some evil magic and sealed on this wall.
He Fusheng After hearing this story, a chill ran down his spine, because he recalled that the servants who investigated the pavilion also noticed that the pavilion was full of calligraphy and painting, and the walls were also decorated with lake wallpaper.
He quickly sent people to enter the attic again and tore off all the calligraphy, paintings and paper on the lake wall. As a result, everyone present felt goosebumps and scalp numbness!
It turned out that the four walls of this house were painted with dense figures. Each of these people had distorted faces and frightened expressions. It was as if they all saw, felt, and experienced something horrifying and strange at the moment they were frozen on the wall!
"Later, they told me that the two servants of the He Mansion were also painted on one of the walls."
He Fusheng sighed.
"Master, do you think this is haunted?"
