Conan's Devil Child Comes to the World

Chapter 364 The Legendary Haunted House (First update, ask for a ticket)
After climbing over the wall and entering the courtyard, the purpose of entering is a spacious patio, and then entering is a hall.

"Clap!"

After Suzuki Seimei walked into the hall, he first took out a lighter and lit it, and checked the situation in the hall by the light of the fire.

I saw a few rosewood tables and chairs in the hall, which looked like a rich family.

"call--"

Suzuki Seimei walked to the table, lit the candle on the table with a lighter, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, those "female ghosts" who lived in seclusion in the haunted house also discovered Suzuki Seimei, an unexpected guest.

But seeing that Suzuki Seimei was only a child and was so cute, they didn't pretend to be ghosts to scare people as usual.

After all, it was already dark outside, and Suzuki Qingming was so young, if he really pretended to be a ghost to scare him away, in case he accidentally lost his life in the woods, it would be a crime.

Suzuki Seimei sat in the lobby for a while, and found that the widows of the dealer did not intend to show up, so he picked up the candles on the table and walked towards the backyard.

That's right!

The haunted house where Suzuki Seimei is located is actually the dealer's big house, where Shuang'er and the dealer's widows live in seclusion.

Speaking of the widows of the dealers, we have to mention the first literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty—the Ming History Case!
Zhu Guozhen, who was the chief assistant of the Tianqi cabinet, loved writing. After he became an official, he wrote a "General History of Ming Dynasty".

In the 8th year of Shunzhi, Zhu's family fell into decline. In order to make a living, the descendants sold unpublished manuscripts to the wealthy neighbor Zhuang Tingyu.

Zhuang Tingfeng was successful in his youth, but became blind due to illness when he became an adult.

Influenced by Zuo Qiuming, who is also blind, he determined to write a history book.

It's a pity that Zhuang Tingyu didn't know much about historical records, so he bought Zhu Guozhen's manuscripts of Ming history, and recruited 16 talented scholars in the south of the Yangtze River who were interested in compiling Ming history, including Wu Yan and Pan Yuzhang, to edit them.

This history book is based on Zhu Guozhen's perspective, coupled with the thought of the people in the south who are close to the Ming Dynasty. The book respects the reign of the Ming Dynasty and does not recognize the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty. It adds events about the Chongzhen Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty. unspeakable" words.

For example, calling Nurhachi a "slave chieftain" and the Qing soldiers "Jianyi", the regret of the unrewarded ambition of the generals who resisted the Qing Dynasty, and the indignation of the generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty all violated the taboos of the Qing government.

Not long after the compilation of "Compilation of Ming History" was completed, Zhuang Tingfeng died of illness.

In order to realize his unfulfilled last wish, his father Zhuang Yuncheng published the book in the 17th year of Shunzhi.

In order to show the authority of the book, Zhuang Yuncheng specially asked Li Lingxi, a former official of the Ministry of Rites, to write the preface before the publication of "Compilation of Ming History", and listed the names of 18 famous scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, including Mao Yuanxi and Wu Zhiming, as the authors.

In the 18th year of Shunzhi, Wu Zhirong, the magistrate of Gui'an County, who was dismissed, tried to report Zhuang Tingyu's anti-book "Compilation of Ming History", hoping to use this as a credit to seek reinstatement.

The officials who accepted the denunciation had accepted thousands of gold bribes from Zhuang Yuncheng, but refused to hear the case, and instead relayed the matter and the content of the denunciation to Zhuang Yuncheng.

After Zhuang Yuncheng learned of this, he didn't take it seriously, he just corrected the sentence in which the defendant was accused, and continued to publish it.

Wu Zhirong is eager to make contributions, and seeing that his poisonous plan has not succeeded, he wants to make things worse, and finally alarms the auxiliary minister Ao Bai and others.

At that time, Kangxi had not yet been in power, and Obai, as the auxiliary minister, ordered the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate the matter and severely deal with the relevant personnel involved in the case.

The instigator, Wu Zhirong, hated Zhu Youming, a local wealthy businessman (Zhu Youming often offended Wu Zhirong for not caring about Wu Zhirong's face), so he resorted to the trick of exchanging the civet cat for the prince. Attributed to Zhu Youming, that is, falsely accusing the original author of the book as Zhu Youming.

Zhu Youming and his five sons were arrested, and the homes of other school entrants and officials of the first instance were ransacked.

In May of the second year of Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty officially made the final judgment.

The Zhuang and Zhu families and those who participated in the compilation, their fathers, brothers, sons and nephews who were over 15 years old, were executed, and those whose wives, concubines, daughters, grandchildren, and sons and nephews were under 15 years old were exiled as slaves.

The Ming history case involved more than a thousand people, hundreds of people were exiled to the Ninggu Pagoda, and the price of thousands of lives was paid. The case was declared closed with the destroyed "Ming History Collection", which opened the prelude to the literary inquisition of the Qing Dynasty.

However, the chief culprit, Wu Zhirong, made a comeback because of reporting meritorious deeds, and got the confiscated Zhu Youming's family property, and became an official in Youqian Capital.

The widow of the Zhuang family was rescued by He Tishou (He Tieshou) on the way to be exiled to Ningguta, and settled in the deep mountains of Hebei (Zhili), where she lived in seclusion in a big house (Zhuangjia's big house).

In order to prevent other people from discovering their true identities and thus attracting the encirclement and suppression by the Qing soldiers, the widow of the farmer would pretend to be a ghost to scare passers-by who strayed into this place, turning this place into a haunted house with a bad reputation.

Suzuki Seimei walked into the backyard with a candle, found a random room and walked in.

With the help of the faint light of the candle, Seimei Suzuki also saw clearly the appearance of the room.

Judging from the decoration style, this room should be a room for women to live in. The bedding and pillows on the bed are also red and pink.

In addition, the room was cleaned very cleanly, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there should be people living here for a long time.

"Not bad, not bad. This bed looks quite comfortable. It seems that I don't need to sleep on the floor tonight."

After Suzuki Seimei finished speaking, he put the candle in his hand on the table, then flew onto the bed, and rolled a few times on it.

Seeing Suzuki Seimei rolling back and forth on the bed, the widows of the dealer who were hiding in the dark couldn't help but burst out laughing, and secretly said, "This kid is really brave."

Ordinary children would have been frightened and cried when they entered this kind of uninhabited haunted house. How could they be as heartless as Suzuki Seimei?
Suzuki Seimei rolled on the bed for a while, then suddenly got up and sat up again, tilted his head and pondered for a while, picked up the candle on the table, and started exploring in the backyard.

"Bang bang bang..."

Seeing Suzuki Seimei holding a candle and breaking into each room in the backyard to explore one by one, the widows of the dealer who were hiding in the dark couldn't sit still.

Not to mention that some people's gold and silver jewelry are still in the room, just those mourning halls where the spirit tablets are placed, no outsiders are allowed to break in.

If Suzuki Seimei broke into the mourning hall and found Zhuang Yuncheng's tablet, it would be a big trouble.

Even if Suzuki Seimei didn't understand anything, if he went back and told the adults at home, causing the adults' suspicion, the widows of the dealer would be in danger.

"Woooooooo..."

Just when Suzuki Seimei was about to enter the mourning hall in the backyard, a few women's cries suddenly came from the east room. The voice was very sad, and it seemed particularly pervasive in the silent night.
