Chapter 47: Teacher’s Square
When Liu Siye saw Lu Heyu looking at Su Nuobai, he also looked at her curiously.
Su Nuobai also happened to see his face: his eyes were dull, his mouth was small without any corner lines, and he was law-abiding and didn't dare to cause trouble.
If you depend on the people around you and listen to other people's opinions, you will easily be instigated and become a scapegoat.
Lu Heyu looked at Su Nuobai and said, "Why don't you go and investigate? Don't delay Master Liu's business."
Su Nuobai bowed respectfully: "Yes. I will go right away."
She smiled at Liu Siye and entered the teaching office.
Liu Siye turned to look at Lu Heyu: "Do you want someone to lead the way?"
"No need. Are you afraid that she will kidnap your people?" Lu Heyu said half-truthfully.
Liu Siye immediately shook his head: "How could that be? Then please go inside and sit down."
Lu Heyu followed Liu Siye to sit in the courtyard.
Su Nuobai walked into the Jiaosifang and headed towards the place where the yin energy gathered.
This is a remote courtyard and few people come here usually.
The dilapidated yard looked like no one had lived there for some years.
She reached out and pushed open the door that was about to collapse, and a cool air rushed towards her.
A group of ghosts just stood in the yard, looking at her with inquiring eyes.
Su Nuobai closed the gate and turned to look at the ghosts in the yard. There were both male and female ghosts, and they had injuries of varying degrees on their bodies.
The only thing they had in common was that they were all very young, none of them over the age of twenty-five.
"I want to ask you about a ghost."
A group of ghosts were startled: "You, you are the Xuanshi?"
Su Nuobai nodded.
The group of ghosts were so scared that they wanted to run away in all directions, but they were bounced back before they even got out of the yard.
These ghosts were all confused. When was the formation set up in the yard? Why didn’t they notice it?
Su Nuobai looked at their panicked expressions and said, "Don't be so scared. I came here to find a ghost. I have no ill intentions."
A female ghost had whip wounds all over her body, the only intact part was her pretty face: "You, who are you looking for?"
Su Nuobai announced the name of Meng Po's sister, Song Qingyao.
The female ghost frowned as if recalling something: "She was taken away decades ago and never came back."
"Take it away?" Su Nuobai frowned.
The female ghost nodded: "I died earlier than her, but my soul has been bound here and cannot leave, so I saw them when they came in."
"She and her sister are truly beautiful people. They were also influential figures in Shengjing back then. They were all excellent at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and their looks were all excellent."
"It's a pity that Lord Song was convicted, and they were reduced to being played with by the Ministry of Education."
"Those who had long coveted them flocked to the Jiaosifang like crazy. After five years of this, the novelty wore off."
"People who come here no longer care for them and start to abuse them." The female ghost couldn't help but tremble when she said this.
Whatever they experienced, I also experienced.
Su Nuobai frowned slightly. After this, she knew: "When did Song Qingyao leave? Why did she leave?"
The ghost thought for a long time: "It was the second year after her sister died. By then, they had been teaching at the temple for seven years."
Su Nuobai frowned. It was not easy to redeem the people from the Jiaosifang, nor could they leave easily.
If you want to redeem someone from the Jiaosifang, unless you are from a royal family, you must stay in the Jiaosifang for ten years before you have a chance to redeem someone.
In addition, it requires a lot of financial resources and interpersonal relationships, and it is not easy to redeem someone.
"Do you know whether she was redeemed or sent out on a mission?"
The ghost girl shook her head: "I don't know about that."
Su Nuobai felt a headache. It turned out that Meng Po's sister was not that easy to find. If she was that easy to find, she would not have come to him for help.
She looked at the ghosts in the yard. They were thrown into this yard before they died and were bound here after death.
The scope of activities is limited to the Jiaosifang, and one cannot reincarnate or leave.
Even if they have grudges and want to seek revenge, they cannot harm the people inside.
Everyone who comes here has an official status and these ghosts cannot get close to them, and the others are all pitiful people like them.
"I'll send you to reincarnate!"
The ghost girl's eyes were filled with joy: "I, can we leave now?"
Su Nuobai nodded, and a ghost door appeared beside him.
The female ghost has been trapped here for who knows how many years, and she dreams of leaving this nightmarish place.
Seeing the Ghost Gate, he walked towards it without any hesitation.
She walked to Su Nuobai, paused slightly, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Master."
The same thing happened when other ghosts walked by.
Su Nuobai read the "Sutra of Saving People" for them, hoping that they would suffer less in their next life.
When the last ghost left the yard, the ghost gate also disappeared.
Lu Heyu saw her come out, stood up and said to Liu Siye: "We have finished our work here. Sorry to bother you today, Lord Liu."
"Lord Lu, you are too polite." Liu Siye smiled and saw them off.
He turned to look at the people behind him: "Where has she been?"
"It's the yard where we used to take the dying person away. We didn't go anywhere else." The servant reported.
Liu Siye frowned: "Where is she going and what is she doing?"
"I don't know about this. After she went in, she closed the gate, stayed inside for a while and then came out. I didn't find anything special." The servant was also puzzled.
Liu Siye always felt something was wrong: "Go check and see if there is anything strange inside."
The servant nodded immediately and turned to check.
In the carriage, Lu Heyu frowned at Su Nuobai sitting opposite him and asked, "Isn't the matter settled?"
Su Nuobai looked up at him and asked, "Will there be records of women who go out or are redeemed from the Jiaosifang?"
"Everyone in the Jiaofangsi, from the time they enter until their death, must be recorded, including when they leave, where they go, and who redeemed them." Lu Heyu said as he looked at her.
"Who do you want to check?"
Su Nuobai looked at him and said, "Song Qingyao, it should have been forty or fifty years ago. She was punished for corruption during the reign of the late emperor. She also had an older sister named Song Qingqiu."
Lu Heyu wrote it down: "I will help you check and let you know when I have any news."
Su Nuobai looked up at him. This guy was actually quite nice and didn't even ask why.
Lu Heyu felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him: "Is there something on my face?"
Su Nuobai touched his stomach and said, "I'm just hungry."
The expression on Lu Heyu's face cracked a little: "Xingkong, let's go to the dining area."
"Okay, master." Xingkong replied from outside.
As soon as the two sat down, they saw Xingyun coming over.
Su Nuobai looked up at Xingyun and then lowered his head to concentrate on eating.
Xingyun scratched his head, not knowing how to ask, so he could only look at Lu Heyu for help.
