In the wing room.

A middle-aged man with a relatively strong build and who looked to be in his forties shivered and lay on the bed.

There were two female ghosts beside him, one on the left and one on the right, also lying on the man's chest.

Sir, you are so powerful.

One of the female ghosts said coquettishly.

Isn't that right? Your Excellency is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, one of the six tribes. He has a status above ten thousand people, and he is also a legendary ghost and god. He is not comparable to those silver wax gun heads outside.

Hear this.

With beauties in his arms, Shangshu Hube was even more satisfied.

No man doesn't like women's compliments, especially when it comes to a man's dignity, and he will not allow others to belittle him.

ah!

Just thinking about it.

The female ghost who had made a sound suddenly screamed.

Others were shocked.

The Minister of Hube also grimaced and frowned: What's going on? You're yelling.

Sir, I just saw a dark shadow passing by outside our room.

The female ghost pointed tremblingly at the door.

Could it be a guard? Another female ghost asked carelessly.

No, that's not right. The black shadow was floating. What I saw was a body being hung up. But when I wanted to take a second look, the black shadow disappeared again.

The Minister of Hube’s frown deepened.

It sounded like he had hit something dirty.

Even in the imperial capital, ghosts seeking death would come out to scare people from time to time, but... that was on the streets.

And where is this place?

It's his mansion.

Not to mention the supernatural white lantern he set up outside, just getting close to him without being noticed by him was already unimaginable.

He is a ghost.

Even when he was doing exercises to increase the number of descendants, his supernatural perception was still functioning normally. If someone approached, he would not react.

To sum up, it seems that he is hallucinating.

Think of this.

He comforted him and put the matter behind him.

moment.

ah!

Ah! There's a ghost!

Two terrifying screams were heard.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was excited, and his supernatural perception swept the entire audience.

But he found nothing. He only saw the two bed partners beside him hugging each other, with frightened expressions and trembling bodies.

Sir, I saw it just now.

The other female ghost said in a scared tone.

what did you see?

I saw a hung body wandering outside our wing. Really, sir, we all saw it.

Hear the description.

The Minister of Hubu stood up immediately.

Opened the door.

It was extremely peaceful outside, and there was no dirt at all.

Just when he was about to reprimand the two women for joining forces to scare him, he suddenly caught a glimpse of blood-red palm prints one after another on the door.

That moment.

The scalp of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance exploded violently.

Damn it!

What the hell is going on?

Is there really something dirty?

There was a chill in his heart, and he felt goosebumps rising.

A bit of horror flashed in his eyes.

He was certain that before he entered the wing, there was no such thing on the door. Combined with the descriptions of the two women, it seemed that there was really a hanged dirty thing wandering outside the wing that he didn't know about. .

This...how is this so damn possible?

He is a ghost.

His supernatural sense was so keen that he could detect how many ghosts there were in the entire mansion, but he really didn't notice anything wrong just now.

If it wasn't a prank, then the only answer was...the ghost wandering outside the wing had a higher level of terror than him.

And he is very good at concealing aura and shielding perception, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to notice anything abnormal.

Think of this possibility.

The entire face of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance turned green.

Where the hell did this come from?

He currently only knew of one person in the entire Qing Kingdom who had this kind of ability, and that was Emperor Qing.

But Emperor Qing would not go to his mansion in the middle of the night and hang himself to scare him.

Can't stay here any longer.

If I stay any longer, I don’t know what will happen.

Before you know the origin of this inexplicable ghost wandering in his mansion, staying away from the other party's wandering place is the best choice.

Immediately.

Shangshu Hube turned around and prepared to leave with his two-bedroom concubine.

However.

Just as he turned around, a horrifying scene happened.

Two white silk threads hung down from the beams of the bed, and the two corpses were hung on the bed, swinging like a thousand-year-old man.

These two corpses were clearly his concubines.

thump.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance's legs and feet went weak, and he almost collapsed on the ground.

He leaned hard against the door, supporting his body so as not to fall.

But the fear in my heart could no longer be increased.

died.

Within the range of his perception, the two concubines who had been talking to him just now were hanged directly from the beams.

And he also blocked the door, eliminating the possibility of dirty things entering.

In this situation.

The murderer can solve everything quietly.

What does he want to do?

What is he doing?

How did he do it?

You have this kind of strength, and you are playing with me here.

My mind was shaken for a moment.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance did not hesitate, turned around and ran away.

He planned to first gather the chess pieces he had placed in every corner of the mansion.

None of the chess pieces he carefully selected has a terrifying level lower than that of the top ghost king. Once they are all gathered together, the movement caused will be huge.

As long as the Imperial Guards are attracted, it will basically be safe.

With this thought.

The Minister of Revenue ran faster and faster.

soon.

A red light suddenly appeared.

It was a red lantern, held by a black shadow.

See this.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance was very happy.

Because the one holding the red lantern is his butler.

Butler, come here quickly. You are most familiar with the layout of the mansion. Work with me to wake up all the chess pieces in the mansion. Be quick.

he shouted.

He didn't notice at all that the man holding the red lantern seemed to be a little different from his butler.

Hear sounds.

The corners of the mouth of the shadow holding the red lantern seemed to slowly open.

Just point to a location with your hand.

Shangshu Hube didn't hesitate, and immediately changed direction and ran in the direction where the red lantern was lit.

Not long after.

Shangshu Hube seemed to have discovered something was wrong.

Huh? Isn't that direction the location of the wing? Butler, which way are you taking? There is dirt in that place.

While talking.

He glanced at the figure holding the red lantern with his peripheral vision.

Faintly.

He seemed to see something like a rope on the figure's wrist holding the lantern.

A bit of surprise flashed across his face.

Did the old housekeeper have a rope on his wrist?

Is the old housekeeper that tall?

Is the old butler's figure so well-proportioned and perfect?

Three doubts appeared in the mind of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

The next moment.

His face froze.

Because only then did he realize that the figure holding a red lantern seemed not to be the old housekeeper, but a stranger he didn't know at all.

But the red lantern, he gave one to the old housekeeper, where is the second one?

Who is this person?

At this moment.

Shangshu Hube was swept away by unparalleled fear.

The hanged ghost wandering in the wing, the strange ghost carrying a red lantern, this was obviously his mansion, but at this moment, it became extremely strange.

It was so strange that it frightened him.

Not even ghost-level strength can give him a sense of security.

He stopped.

The figure holding the red lantern also seemed to feel something.

Also stopped.

Under the swaying of the red candlelight, he slowly turned around, revealing an unfamiliar face.

It was a man who looked extremely young, with black hair and dark eyes, a blood-stained hemp rope tied around his wrist, and a charming smile on his face.

Ah! I've been discovered.

Tobe Shangshu's pupils widened little by little, and for the first time in his life, he felt a fear that was more real than death.

Because he knew that face.

Back then, in that small town, when the envoy broke into the main entrance of the palace and forcibly captured Prince Li, he stood not far away, watching all this with the other six officials.

He would never forget that wanton face.

now.

This figure holding a red lantern was the original envoy.
