Zhang Yang didn't pay attention to these priests and monks. It was normal for people of the same profession to be jealous of each other.
However, he did not find anything wrong with Minister Zhou's house.
This was a little strange.
Logically speaking, if there were malicious ghosts, there should be abnormal phenomena such as heavy Yin Qi in Minister Zhou's house. However, he could not find any place in his house that had heavy Yin Qi.
After asking, the first person to notice something unusual was Minister Zhou's concubine, Peach Yang.
It was about a month ago.
It was around midnight when the star fruit walked out of her room to go to the toilet because she needed to use the toilet.
However, she did not expect to see an unforgettable scene in the courtyard.
He saw a rope tied into a slipknot and swaying on the tree.
When she recalled it today, Peach Yang's face was still pale. It was obvious how frightened she was.
There was no wind at all, but the rope was moving on the tree. It felt like someone was hanging himself.
She screamed at that moment, shocking the entire Zhou family.
After that, there was a commotion. Many members of the Zhou family came out to take a look, but they also saw this terrifying scene.
From that day on, the Zhou family could not have peace.
Not only in the courtyard, but also in other places, such as the wing room, the hall, the kitchen, and the dozens of people in the Zhou family, almost everyone was frightened by that rope.
After hearing this, Zhang Yang had made some guesses; however, he couldn't confirm it completely.
He quietly called Minister Zhou out.
She asked him if anyone in his family had hanged themselves over the years.
"No." Minister Zhou shook his head like a rattle-drum.
"Ever since I was a child, no one in my Zhou family, be it family or servants, has ever hanged themselves.”
Minister Zhou sounded very certain, which made Zhang Yang a bit puzzled.
"Could it be that this hanging ghost is someone who hanged himself a long time ago?”
There was no result for the time being. It seemed that he had to come back at night.
After making an appointment with Minister Zhou to come back at midnight, Zhang Yang returned to his home first.
After returning to his courtyard, Zhang Yang went to take a look at his two small martens.
He found that they seemed to have adapted to life here and were playing in the trees.
Seeing Zhang Yang, the two small martens stopped playing as they watched him with dejected eyes.
"Da Bai, Xiao Bai."
Zhang Yang stretched out his hand and caught the two small martens. After that, he observed them carefully.
He had a feeling that these two small martens were a little too agile. Although they were not mature yet, they had a clear and spiritual aura. He guessed that these two small martens might have extraordinary bloodlines and might become demonic beasts in the future.
"Young Master."
At this moment, Zhang Xing walked in from outside the courtyard.
"Uncle Xing, what's wrong?"
"Young Master, I plan to go to the city and see if there are any suitable shops for sale. If I can buy a few shops, I can collect some rent in the future.”
"Alright, go and take a look."
As Zhang Yang transmigrated to this world, of course, he would not object to Zhang Xing's idea of buying real estate.
As long as the world was not chaotic, real estate was the best product to maintain and increase value.
"Understood, Young Master."
Zhang Xing nodded and went back to work.
In the late night, Zhang Yang locked the gate of the mansion before walking straight towards Minister Zhou's home.
When they arrived at the Zhou family, they found that they were already on guard. Dozens of servants were patrolling around with lanterns. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
At the sight of Zhang Yang, Minister Zhou hurriedly welcomed him.
"Scholar Zhang."
"Old Master Zhou, is the rope out?”
Zhang Yang cupped his hands and asked in a low voice.
"Not out yet."
"Yes, I am. Take me to the courtyard."
"Alright."
Zhang Yang followed Minister Zhou into his courtyard.
Zhou's courtyard was as large as Zhang Yang's old mansion.
There was an unknown tree in the courtyard, and there was also a deep old well in the courtyard.
A few Taoist priests and monks invited by the Zhou family had already arrived at the courtyard.
He was sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard. At the sight of Zhang Yang, they didn't even glance at him.
Zhang Yang didn't care about that. After sending Minister Zhou away, he found a clean chair and sat down.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. From time to time, there were birds and beasts chirping, which was quite scary.
Zhang Yang waited for more than one hour, but there was still no sound in the courtyard, which made him a bit sleepy.
After another hour, when Zhang Yang was dozing off on the bench, he was woken up by some shouts.
"Are you here?"
Zhang Yang raised his head and looked around as he found those monks and Taoists were waving their celestial devices as if they were attacking something.
For a moment, the courtyard was noisy.
"Eh?"
Zhang Yang took a look at the tree and saw a weird rope swaying under the tree. Those Taoist priests and monks were attacking the rope with their secret skills.
However, after watching them for a short while, Zhang Yang found that these priests and monks were just bluffing. They were using some tricks which were almost like magic. Although it was very powerful, the rope was actually not affected at all.
Zhang Yang widely opened his eyes as he desperately looked over there. As he expected, he saw a faint shadow under the rope.
It seemed that there was really something evil going on!
