Where is the most dangerous place in Kaifeng Mansion?

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at Mr. Lin Xiao with disbelief - tell me! Can you still beat Dali Temple and Tianlao? Don't be afraid!

Seeing that the two of them were still out of breath, the old man waved to them, then lowered his voice and told the two people who came over an address.

"Eastern suburbs, Yuanqi Tower."

After the old man finished speaking, Lin Xiao, who was making scented tea beside him, shook his head.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and also looked at the old man in confusion.

Lin Xiao blinked at the two of them, "There is a portrait of Wangyou in that building."

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, and Zhan Zhao puffed out his cheeks and looked at Lin Xiao, "Master, are you deceiving us?"

"Alas." Dean Lin shook his head, "Of course not!"

Zhan Zhao looked at the mooing old master, and looked at Lin Xiao with a somewhat depressed look - Did you two just drink?

Lin Xiao shrugged.

Master Lin did not forget to add, "If you don't believe me, you two go ask the Eighth Prince. Anyway, if you want to enter Yuanqi Tower, you have to tell the Eighth Prince."

After saying that, the old man continued to drink tea happily.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang asked the old man about some things about Ye Wangyou. Zhan Zhao even coaxed and deceived, and Dean Lin was not willing to help paint Ye Wangyou's portrait, so he said that there was a ready-made one in Yuanqi Building.

In the end, Zhanbai and the two had no choice but to say goodbye.

After the two of them left, Lin Xiao asked the old man with some confusion, "Dean, why do you have to let them go to Yuanqi Tower to find the portrait?"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "My young master told me before that if anyone is looking for you, let them go to Yuanqi Tower."

Lin Xiao was surprised - was it actually You Lian who ordered it?

…

So what exactly is this Yuanqi Tower? Why is this place said to be a dangerous place?

The answer is very literal - because this building is the number one haunted house in Kaifeng City.

There are such things as haunted houses. Every city has one or two. As an imperial city, Kaifeng has a long history and a large scale, so it is not surprising that there are several haunted houses.

But the problem is that Yuanqi Tower is the most haunted house in such a large city of Kaifeng, which shows how special it is.

So why do you need to find the Eighth Prince first when you want to go to Yuanqi Building? Because a long time ago, the Eighth Prince bought this building and didn’t demolish it. Instead, he built a yard around the perimeter, planted trees and built it twice.

The walls and gates are locked and no one is allowed to enter.

Therefore, the area where Yuanqi Tower is located is equivalent to a forbidden area in Kaifeng Imperial City.

Fortunately, Yuanqi Building is located in the eastern suburbs, very far away from the downtown area, and the trees in the yard have grown taller now, completely blocking the small building... As the saying goes, out of sight is out of mind, and no one will take the initiative to mention it now.

A small building.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left Taixue and walked back together.

The Fifth Master asked Zhan Zhao, "Mao'er, do you know the details of Yuanqi Tower?"

Zhan Zhao folded his arms and felt embarrassed, "I only heard a few words from a few yamen servants in the yamen, but they generally said that the building was dangerous or something, and I didn't ask in detail."

Neither Zhan Zhao nor Bai Yutang believed in such things, and Zhan Zhao usually picked up corpses, so when he heard about the haunted house and the haunted building, he covered his ears and ran out, so naturally he wouldn't ask more questions.

Bai Yutang would never gossip about such things.

The two of them did not rush to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, but planned to go back to find someone to inquire.

…

Back in Kaifeng Mansion, a group of old men were sitting around in the yard playing chess.

Gongsun Zhaopu and the others were not there. The fourth boy was doing his homework in the yard, and Mei Fang was practicing football on the side.

The fourth boy was holding a writing brush in one hand and a book in the other, and there were balls of sunshine on the table.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang scanned around and asked the fourth son about the gossip in Kaifeng city... The two of them sat on both sides of the dumpling.

The little fourth son raised his head, looked at the two of them, and asked, "Mao Mao Bai Bai, have you two found someone?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both shook their heads, saying not yet.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Xiao Sizi, I want to ask you something."

The fourth boy put down his pen and book, picked up the ball and asked, "What's going on?"

"Do you know the famous haunted house in Kaifeng City?"

When Zhan Zhao asked a question, the fourth child glanced at him secretly, held the ball in his hands, and moved his butt to the stool, "Maomao, have you found a haunted house again?"

The old and young men practicing football and playing chess on both sides also turned their heads and looked over.

Yin Hou sighed and asked "I found a haunted house again"...

Tianzun couldn't help but complain, "The kitten is not a beacon, it is simply a permanent beacon!"

Several other old men also nodded - the kind that ordered mermaid oil.

Zhan Zhao said "tsk" and turned around to glare at the old men.

Bai Yutang explained to the fourth son, "Not really, I just want to inquire about Yuanqi Tower."

"Yuanqi Building?" The fourth child thought for a while and asked, "Is it the small building circled by Xiao Xianxian?"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the fourth son curiously - who is the little fairy?

The little fourth son smiled and took a pen and wrote the word "Wise King" on the paper.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both puzzled - don't you care if someone is called Xiao Bazi?

The fourth child twisted twice, "Little eight child, don't you think your temperament is wrong? Xiao Xianxian is a better match, after all, Xianxian is so good-looking, right?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both thought for a moment about the flawless temperament of the Eight Wise Kings, and nodded - yes, reliable.

"Don't you always go to Xian Wang's place to play? Have you ever heard him mention it?"

The fourth son put down his pen, his little face was quite serious, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Maomao, Yuanqi Building is also called the Resentment Building. It is said to be evil! It is the most sinister house in Kaifeng City! What are you asking about?

?”

Zhan Zhao wrinkled his nose and complained to the fourth son, "Didn't Yutang and I go to Dean Lin to ask for a portrait of You Wangyou? But the Dean refused to paint it for us, saying that there is a ready-made portrait in Yuanqi.

In the building."

This time, the fourth child was confused.

Xiaotuanzi tilted his head, puzzled, "Why is the portrait in the haunted house?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, and the Fifth Master also shook his head - the dean refused to say anything.

"Hmm..." The fourth child touched his chin, feeling that this matter was a bit strange.

At this time, noisy sounds came from outside.

Everyone looked at the entrance of the courtyard and saw that Pang Yu and Bao Yan were back. They probably met Zou Lianglin and Yehuo on the way and came with them.

Huofeng was holding a little white puppy that he got from who knows where, and beside him Zou Liang was holding a large box of pink peaches.

The fourth son pointed at Pang Yu and reminded Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Little Fatty must know."

When Pang Yu saw the fourth son pointing at him, he ran over with a smile, sat across from him, reached for a cup to pour tea, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhan Zhao told him, "I want to ask you about Yuanqi Tower..."

"puff……"

Pang Yu took a sip of tea and sprayed it all over Qiuqiu.

Xiao Sizi and Zhan Zhao hurriedly looked for the veil.

Qiuqiu aimed at Pang Yu.

Pang Yu coughed and wiped his mouth with one sleeve and wiped the snake with the other.

Bao Yan heard this and came over, asking, "Yuanqi Tower?"

The curiosity of Tianzun and Yin Hou was also aroused, so they came over and asked, "Is this building very powerful? Why can Kaifeng Imperial City be ranked first? Could it be that many people have died?"

Bao Yan and Pang Yu looked at each other, and Bao Yan shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this building, because two princes died in this building, and one even went crazy!"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao took a breath, "Prince?"

"Yes!" Bao Yan nodded, "And according to legend, the late emperor's poor health was also related to this building, so the Eighth Prince sealed the building."

Everyone was surprised.

"Which two princes died?" Bai Yutang was curious, thinking that the Zhao royal family was really underpopulated, and they were so mad that they died in such a crazy manner that all their loved ones were lost in the haunted house.

"The brothers of the late emperor, Prince Jing and Prince Hui, and as for the crazy one, we all know that he is the eldest brother of the late emperor... Prince Xian."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang heard about this for the first time.

Both Tianzun and Yin Hou felt that it was not very reliable, "The late emperor was the third eldest son. The second eldest son died in his twenties, the fourth, fifth and seventh eldest brother all died in their thirties, and the sixth son only lived to forty.
