Chapter 508 How about trying tonight

"Academy is haunted?"

Su Ying took a bite and bit the fruit. The sweet and sour taste of this fruit was her favorite taste.

"That's right, Ma'am, the slave overheard it from Mr. Zhang." Bai Shuang said with a mysterious face: "The news came out a few days ago. I heard that there was a lot of trouble. Now no one dares to talk about it at night work."

Su Ying doesn't believe in ghosts' claims, "It's time to go down now, go to Zhang Shuming and find out what's going on."

The flames of Baishuang's gossip were raging, and she had to rush to the forefront after finally getting something new.

Bai Shuang didn't keep Su Ying waiting for too long, wishing she could trot all the way back.

"Your Majesty, the servant has asked about the details."

Zhou Qing silently put a plate of melon seeds in front of Su Ying.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"In fact, three days ago, two workers first saw a ghost. They were so frightened that they didn't dare to go to work the next day. I didn’t see anything, so I thought the two of them were mistaken.”

Bai Shuang sniffed and continued: "But who would have thought that another accident would happen the next night, and some workers were so frightened that they peed their pants, but at that time there was a more courageous person who saw the appearance of the female ghost clearly , with disheveled hair in a red dress, and a big, cannibalistic mouth, so scary."

"Then what?"

"Then someone said that the female ghost was hanged in the academy before, and this has to start before the academy moved out."

Su Ying ate melon seeds and listened to the story quietly.

"Decades ago, when the academy was still there, there was a young woman who was attracted by the sound of reading in the academy every day. Every day, she would secretly squat under the courtyard wall to listen to the lectures. Later, she also learned a lot. At that time She made an appointment for a marriage, and she was going to get married soon, but after listening to the book for a while, the woman felt that she was superior and would no longer want to marry her fiancé. Since then, she was hanged in the back room of the academy the night before she got married."

Su Ying pushed the tea towards Bai Shuang, and Bai Shuang picked it up and took a sip and continued: "It's common to say, but since then, the common people don't like to let their daughters go to school anymore. After reading the book, I felt that I was too capable and disobedient, and after the academy moved out, this matter was left alone."

"Women know a lot about reading and writing, why can't they do it?" Zhou Qing felt that it was really bad for a woman to regret her marriage, but she was right to learn things.

"Because what they want is not a talented woman who is well-educated, but a daughter and wife who can live according to their wishes."

Su Ying's words made Bai Shuang, who was still in high spirits just a second ago, like a pair of eggplants, "Niang Niang, every time you speak, you are so irritating."

"However, the haunted thing is interesting. The Ministry of Industry has not guarded this ghost?"

Bai Shuang shook his head, "I heard that the Ministry of Industry has been on guard for twelve hours, but every time this ghost can appear when they want to take a nap, it is said that people's yin energy is the weakest at that time .”

Su Ying chuckled, "That makes sense, why don't we try it tonight?"

The hairs on Bai Shuang's back stood up, "Your Majesty, I feel a little pain in my stomach, I need to go to the latrine first."

Inside the Royal Study Room.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is reporting to Xiao Jin about the haunting of the old academy site.

Because it was because the people living around were all upset, thinking that they would alarm the female ghost because they went to repair the old site again, and worried that the female ghost would come out and harm people.

"Don't worry, the emperor, I will definitely investigate this matter and find out the truth, and I will definitely find out the person who is behind the scenes."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry has always thought that this place is famous, otherwise, why would the female ghost not dare to come out when there are many people, and she chose to scare the one or two forbidden soldiers who were alone. This is clearly someone playing tricks behind the scenes.

Xiao Jin tapped the dragon case with his fingertips, "Check it out, don't delay the repair time."

"I understand."

After the minister of the Ministry of Industry withdrew, Zhang Shuming walked in.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the southern country are here to see you."

Xiao Jin didn't lift his eyelids, "What's the matter?"

"It is said that the monarch of the Southern Kingdom wants to ask whether the peace negotiation has been settled."

Hearing this, Xiao Jin raised his head and said quietly, "Let them in."

"yes."

A moment later, the delegation of Southern Kingdom envoys headed by King Yu arrived at the Imperial Study Room.

During this period of time, King Yu was always in the palace, and his body was growing hairy. He repeatedly asked Xiao Jin that he wanted to go back to the southern country. Waiting patiently, this time, Xiao Jin didn't see him, but instead waited for Su Ying to come back!

When King Yu entered the palace, he was locked out with a hint of gloom on his face.

"See the emperor."

"All envoys, please stand up."

King Yu didn't talk nonsense, and asked straight to the point: "I don't know when the emperor plans to sign a peace agreement with me? Now that I have been out for a long time, my father is thinking about it. It would be wrong if I don't go back."

Xiao Jin nodded slightly, and asked Zhang Shuming to bring up the peace agreement.

"This is the content of the peace agreement I agreed with King Yu last time. Let King Yu take a look."

King Yu took the peace agreement and read it with the envoys. The more he read it, the more ugly his face became.

After putting up with it, King Yu still couldn't hold back and stared at Xiao Jin fiercely, "The emperor is really sincerely negotiating peace with me in the South Kingdom? This is obviously taking advantage of the fire!" It's fine if the city of the South Kingdom is not returned to them, but they still want to let it go. They lose money and food, they are shameless!

Xiao Jin's sword eyebrows were peaceful, and he looked like I was easy to speak, "Isn't this what I had agreed with King Yu before? King Yu didn't admit it again?"

King Yu choked with anger, when did he make an agreement with him!

"The emperor may have misremembered, this king has never agreed to such a peace agreement!"

Xiao Jin was surprised, "Didn't you agree? It seems that I really remembered it wrong. Then tell me, King Yu, which one of these are you not satisfied with? I will consider it as appropriate."

Yu Wang looked at Xiao Jin with a look of uncertainty, he suddenly became so easy to talk, he always felt that there was a fraud in it!

But what should be said and the attitude should be stated clearly.

"The state of Chu clearly did not attack this city, and it is too deceitful for us to cede our southern state to the state of Chu."

Xiao Jin nodded slightly, "King Yu is right, so let's cross this out."

Wang Yu thought he heard it wrong, Xiao Jin really became so easy to talk?

"There is one more thing. Is it too much to ask Nanguo to pay one million taels of silver?"

Xiao Jin frowned, "More than one million taels? It shouldn't be, Nanguo can't even get this little money?"
