Strange Tales of the Ghosts

Yu Zicheng and He Youcai were sitting in the house talking and laughing. They never thought that Aqiu's ghost was outside the door. Aqiu looked at the two people inside and felt a little strange in his heart, so he did not go in, but hid outside the house and eavesdropped.

After He Youcai drank two glasses of wine, he looked at Yu Zicheng with a smile: "Brother Yu, your methods are still brilliant."

"No way, if it wasn't for Brother He, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly." With that said, Yu Zicheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

He Youcai curled his lips and smiled, shaking his head: "Hey, it's a pity to say it."

"Are you pitying the money, or are you pitying the beauty?" Yu Zicheng raised the corner of his mouth.

He Youcai pointed at Yu Zicheng and laughed: "Brother Yu, brother Yu, you could have gained both wealth and wealth, but you were ruthless."

"Brother Yu has never been devoted to his children."

"Hey, if it were me, I would definitely..."

"Brother He will definitely accept the secret recipe and then the beauty, right?"

"Hahahahaha, the one who knows me is Brother Yu." He Youcai laughed, clinked glasses with Yu Zicheng, and poured the wine into his mouth.

After Yu Zicheng put down his wine glass, he took a mouthful of food and refused to eat. Instead, he looked at He Youcai and asked in a low voice: "Brother He, what are your plans next?"

"With this secret recipe, it will naturally expand my He family's business."

"Yes, I have ambitions." Yu Zicheng nodded.

He Youcai looked at Yu Zicheng and asked, "Where is Brother Yu?"

"Send Jade Guanyin home first. My father has been looking forward to this day for twenty years."

"He has something unclear. I wonder if Brother Yu can give me some advice?"

"Brother He, it's okay to ask."

He Youcai frowned and looked at Yu Zicheng: "How did Brother Yu know that the Jade Guanyin statue was in the Zhou family?"

"It's a long story. This Jade Guanyin originally belonged to my Yu family. More than 20 years ago, it was taken away by the Zhou family because of an incident. This made my father very upset. Before he died, my father told the story. I."

"I see."

Yu Zicheng patted He Youcai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "So we both have what we need and we hit it off right away."

"Exactly." He Youcai agreed with a smile, but still felt a little sentimental when he thought about it. "It's just a pity, Aqiu."

Aqiu became more energetic when she heard He Youcai mentioning her, so she kept her ears open and listened clearly to the conversation between He Youcai and Yu Zicheng. When she heard He Youcai said that the secret recipe came from her father When the trick came, Aqiu finally couldn't bear it anymore, rushed through the wall, and appeared in front of Yu Zicheng and He Youcai. He Youcai and Yu Zicheng couldn't help but tremble when they saw the dead Aqiu standing in front of them. He Youcai even didn't believe it and thought it was an illusion.

"Brother Yu, what did you see?"

"Brother He, did you see it too?" Yu Zicheng's rhetorical question showed that Aqiu indeed existed. He Youcai was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud and said tremblingly: "Aqiu, it's none of my business. It’s okay, I didn’t kill you.”

"Brother He... I always thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect that you actually designed to defraud my father of my family's secret recipe..." Aqiu looked at He Youcai angrily.

He Youcai swallowed and replied: "I came here for the secret recipe, but I never thought about killing your father..."

"Then what did you do?"

"I...I..." He Youcai looked at Yu Zicheng from time to time.

Seeing that something was wrong, Yu Zicheng had already begun to sneak away... Aqiu didn't notice because her attention was focused on He Youcai. Her heart ached, her trust was betrayed, and she stupidly cheated the person who got the secret recipe. She regretted that He Youcai thought he was a good person.

He Youcai was speechless for a long time. Ah Qiu, filled with grief and anger, stepped forward and asked, "Tell me, how did you deceive me into getting my secret recipe, and when did you start your scheme?"

"I...said...I said..." He Youcai couldn't stand being scared. Having a ghost in his heart was already a scary thing, and the bad guy also felt guilty. In addition, Aqiu's ghost was really standing in front of him. It's so fierce that it looks like it's coming to claim your life, so He Youcai can do it all. It turns out that when A Qiu was still young, He Youcai's father and A Qiu's father had a secret. They got an ancient prescription. It is said that this prescription can extract an elixir, and eating it can prolong life and make you immortal. , but they didn’t trust anyone, so after discussing it, they divided the secret recipe into two parts and kept them separately. They agreed to discuss the details together thirty years later.

Unexpectedly, after the agreement, He Youcai's father went back on his word. Holding half of the secret recipe in his hand, he was on pins and needles. He was always thinking about what to do if A Qiu's father went back on his word and came to steal the secret recipe. He thought to himself, It became a mental illness. As time passed, he was thinking more and more, what if he couldn't refine it in thirty years? So he decided to get the secret recipe early and refine the elixir. Because of this matter, He Youcai's father had a quarrel with A Qiu's father. Later, A Qiu's father became very cautious. Although the two families seemed to have a good relationship on the surface, they were at odds with each other on the inside. They were both wary of each other.

And He Youcai also knew about this accidentally. He didn't believe that there was any secret recipe for elixir in this world, but he was convinced by his father's words, because his father told him that the secret recipe was left by Qin Shihuang at that time. of. You know, there are legends in the streets and alleys about the story of Qin Shihuang seeking elixir. People always tell it in a subtle way and it has little effect. Later, He Youcai believed it. In order to help his father get the half of the secret recipe, He Youcai went to find Aqiu's father, but he didn't know that Aqiu's father was not even willing to talk to him, and naturally he didn't mention the secret recipe. The more he thought about it, the more He Youcai felt that there was something interesting about it. Therefore, his desire to get the half of the secret recipe became more and more intense. Unknowingly, he wanted it more than his father, because if he could extract the elixir, not only would he be able to live forever, but he would also be able to live forever. If it is dedicated to the current emperor, then

There will be endless glory.

So, he bribed Mr. Zhang with money, charged Aqiu's father with a crime, and put Aqiu's father in jail. The purpose was, of course, to force Aqiu's father to hand over half of the secret recipe. However, the result was not satisfactory, because Aqiu's father would rather go to jail than tell He Youcai where their secretary was, so He Youcai thought of another plan. The first thing they thought of was that the secretary must not be with Aqiu's father, who hid the secret recipe. The location was most likely at Aqiu's home. They didn't know if Aqiu's father had hidden it from Aqiu's mother, so they wanted to give it a try. After Aqiu's mother heard that her husband was going to be sentenced, she was naturally very anxious and went to find Mr. Zhang herself. Therefore, this perfect plan was ruined by the perverted Mr. Zhang. He Youcai and the others didn't have time. After making a condition with Aqiu's mother, she heard the news that Aqiu's mother had hanged herself.

He Youcai missed a move by one move. He Youcai was upset and thought of Aqiu. When he was a child, he often heard his father talking about Aqiu and saw him a few times. So, he told his father like this. Later, the desperate Aqiu was taken to the He family. After A Qiu arrived at the He family, He Youcai tried every means to gain A Qiu's trust. I originally wanted to marry A Qiu first. After all, when a woman marries, she obeys her husband. When A Qiu becomes the wife of the He family, what will happen then? I just thought it would be much easier to get the secret recipe. However, after several trials, He Youcai discovered that Aqiu did not mean that to him. He knew that Aqiu cared about his father in prison. With a sudden heart, He Youcai planned to threaten Aqiu directly, but unexpectedly, at this time, he met Yu Zicheng. Yu Zicheng was a rich man. He Youcai knew this early on, but the two of them had never had any contact.

Later, the two people met while drinking flower wine. They were very drunk and both said some things that they shouldn't have said. After waking up, the two of them regretted it, but He Youcai changed his mind and came up with the idea of ​​having a relationship with him. Yu Zicheng cooperated with this plan, and as soon as he mentioned it, Yu Zicheng actually agreed.

So there was the meeting between Yu Zicheng and Aqiu in Jingxiangzhai...

After hearing this, Ah Qiu felt that she regretted so much. She pointed at He Youcai and asked, "If you were just here for the secretary, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"If I had told you earlier, you wouldn't have given it to me." He Youcai lowered his head.

Ah Qiu shook her head. Indeed, she had told her that she might not give it. She still thought that her father could be released from prison and restore the family's reputation. It was not until her father died and she left the Yu family that she realized that the secret recipe was not a secret. But she didn't know what the secret recipe was at the time, and there was no one to entrust it to, so she entrusted it to He Youcai.

"What about the Zhou family? Are they acting with you too?" Ah Qiu suddenly thought of Zhou Wenwu.

He Youcai was scared to death. When Ah Qiu asked, he replied: "I actually got to know Zhou Wenwu after Brother Yu. Brother Yu has a grudge against the Zhou family. Brother Yu and I have agreed that if he helps me, I will Help him, so I pulled the strings and coaxed Zhou Wenwu out."

"So, the Zhou family didn't force me to get married?"

"..." He Youcai nodded, and after a while, shook his head again: "No, the Zhou family did propose marriage to my family, and we did agree, but..."

"It's just you who started this thing behind your back?"

"Aqiu...I...I'm sorry for you...please don't kill me!" He Youcai was afraid of death. Seeing how angry Aqiu was, He Youcai kept begging for mercy.

Aqiu didn't expect that all of this was a game. She couldn't believe it... So, while closing her eyes in pain, she reached out to He Youcai. Seeing this, He Youcai hurriedly turned around and ran away. His action He Youcai could not escape A Qiu's hand. He Youcai was gently lifted up by A Qiu, and he slowly and forcefully strangled He Youcai to death in his own hands. Tears welled up in Ah Qiu's eyes. Her father and mother both died for half of the secret recipe, and because of this, she became a dead soul. The sad thing is that she will be sent to the City of Wasted Death...

Ah Qiu thought about it, became frustrated, and threw He Youcai's body to the ground with a bang. When she turned around to look, Yu Zicheng had disappeared, but her tongue could not be controlled because she was hanged. The living one stretched out.

For several days in a row, everyone in the He family saw a female ghost wearing red clothes with a tongue hanging out. The female ghost was lingering at the door of Mr. He and Mrs. He's room. Not long after the He family buried He Youcai, Mr. He and Mrs. He The lady was scared to death.
