After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 84: The Horseless Carriage
He was tripped by the evil spirit that was transformed from the innocent servant who was kicked to death in the street.

Zhang Shen didn't realize anything at first, until the carriage creaked along for half an hour with no sign of slowing down or stopping, he felt something was wrong.

Because Patriarch Zhang had entered the palace to serve several times, it was often said inside and outside the capital that Patriarch Zhang had a very close relationship with the emperor, like a brother.

As a result, the Zhang family, which was originally very ordinary, also became more prestigious.

The words praising the Zhang family seemed to be fueled by a spring breeze and became more and more exaggerated.

But more and more people believe it.

Among them, there is also the Zhang family’s house, which is very spacious, covers a large area, and is located in a good location.

The pawnshop was less than fifty steps north of Qingque Street.

Usually, after passing Qingque Street, it wouldn’t take long to reach Zhang’s house.

But today, it seems like I can’t get anywhere.

The carriage was moving forward steadily without turning at all.

"Old Zhao?"

Zhang Shen frowned, his tone already showing dissatisfaction: "Why is it so slow today?"

The sound of horse hooves clattering on the unique brick slabs of Qingque Street seemed particularly harsh in the silent night.

"Old Zhao?"

"Old Zhao!"

Zhang Shen angrily slammed the car board twice, already somewhat annoyed with Lao Zhao who was in charge of driving today.

After clapping several times, his palms felt hot and painful, but the only sound of horse hooves outside was still responding to him.

"Lao Zhao! Didn't you hear me calling you? You——"

When Zhang Shen lifted the gold brocade curtain, the sound suddenly stopped.

Where is Old Zhao outside the carriage?

Even the old chestnut horse pulling the cart was gone.

But the clatter of horse hooves on brick slabs continued to be heard.

Zhang Shen swallowed subconsciously and became nervous and flustered.

He looked around at the darkness and didn't have the courage to jump out of the car.

Zhang Shen decisively lowered the curtain and sat back in the carriage.

Don't panic! Stay calm!
It must all be an illusion!
He comforted himself in his heart, but the clattering sound outside the car seemed to step on his heart.

He was hit again and again, and he couldn't calm down at all.

What's going on?
Could it be that I have encountered a ghost wall?

The Zhang family cooperated with that person and was also in the haunted house business, helping the real mastermind behind the haunted house to commit murder and robbery. They had more or less heard and seen those things and knew a little about them.

It's the first time I've encountered it in person.

I don't know if these things will kill people...

Zhang Shen kept muttering to himself to comfort himself.

He has no grudges against these things in the past, and no enmity between him and them in the present—dong!

Click!

Clang!

clatter……

Just as I was muttering to myself, there was a sudden knock on the car door.

Then there was a sound of explosion and shattering.

Then something hit the ground with a clang.

There was a "clatter" sound from the horse's hooves, as if it stepped on something, and then it suddenly neighed as if it was frightened.

But there are obviously no horses outside...

Before Zhang Shen could figure out what was going on, he suddenly felt the carriage being lifted up.

It was as if the horse was frightened and raised its front legs.

Before he could react, the carriage was lifted up and almost perpendicular to the ground.

Zhang Shen, who was in the carriage, also staggered and bumped into the wall, gasping in pain.

Just as he was panicking and trying to climb out of the carriage to save himself, the carriage suddenly fell to the ground, returned to its original state, and started running smoothly again.

Zhang Shen was gasping for breath, and before he had fully recovered from his shock, he heard a "bang".

He subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and when his eyes fell on the tightly closed car window, he was suddenly frightened and screamed.
