Quick wear: the host is so brave, and the blackened villain dares to tease

Chapter 584 The cold Buddhist son was dragged off the altar (9)

"Yes, when they found Zhao Silang, Zhao Silang was already out of breath, and died on the belly of the oiran. His death was horrific, bleeding from his seven orifices."

"Master fainted on the spot. Originally, in order to reward the fourth brother for his hard work with him, he specially ordered the oiran for him. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

"From now on, the master will never let Zhao Wulang and Zhao Liulang do business with him, but let them eat, drink and have fun at home, and be a rich son."

Ning Xi answered casually, "But even if he doesn't go out, Zhao Wulang is still dead."

The old gardener put Jin Zizai away carefully, "Fifth young master likes to study, and this year he is preparing to go to Beijing for the exam. I didn't expect that there would be accidents if he studied hard at home."

Ning Xi didn't know if Zhao Wansheng had told all the details, so he asked the old gardener again, "Zhao Wulang is very good, why did he suddenly get sick?"

"Think about it, old slave. The fifth young master was still studying in the study as usual after lunch that day. We servants would not disturb him at this time. We will invite him out for dinner in the evening."

"Unexpectedly, when the servant girl saw him, she foamed at the mouth and died, causing panic in the whole Zhao residence."

Ning Xi tilted her head and asked, "Can someone from the government come to investigate? Could it be poisoning or something."

"Wu Zuo came several times, but he was not poisoned, but died of a sudden illness."

Ning Xi nodded, "I heard that when Zhao Wulang died, Yuanwai Zhao had just returned from the sea and encountered a storm at sea."

The hand of the old gardener pulling the weeds trembled unconsciously, "That's right. I heard that when I came back, it was calm and the sun was high. When I was approaching the pier, a big wave suddenly rolled up on the sea. People on the shore saw that the merchant ships were swept into the sea. I thought I would never survive, but I didn't expect the old man to float back with a piece of wood in his arms."

"As soon as I got home, I learned that the fifth young master had died of illness. His hair turned gray overnight."

Ning Xi had almost done his research. This kind of weird thing should be related, so he went back and talked to Xuan Mo to see if he had any other clues to prove that Zhao Yuanwai's fortune was related to his brother's death.

Just as she turned to leave, the words she heard at the inn suddenly came to mind.

"Old man, are all the brothers of the Zhao family married?"

"Of course, even the youngest Sixth Young Master has married wives and taken concubines."

Ning Xi nodded thoughtfully, "These wives and concubines are all widowed in the mansion? Didn't they go back to their natal homes to remarry?"

The old gardener shook his head, "At the beginning, the second young master's daughter-in-law wanted to go back to her mother's house, but the master disagreed, and she stopped making trouble after a while. The third young master's daughter-in-law came from her family and wanted to take her daughter home for remarriage. A large sum of money sent people away, so none of the wives and concubines in the mansion came out of the Zhao family."

Hearing this, Ning Xi noticed something.

"This is too weird. Even if Zhao Yuanwai is the richest man in Ancheng, he can't do things like this? The wives and concubines of the young masters are all beautiful and young, so it's not a problem to be trapped in this house."

"Old man, you have been in Zhao's house for so long, and you haven't heard some terrible secrets?"

The old gardener touched the gold hidden in his bosom, feeling a little uncomfortable, and thinking of his eldest son at home, he sighed and opened his mouth slowly.

"It's said that they are beautiful wives and concubines. How can they hold back their loneliness? Sometimes the old servants pass by their yard, and they always hear some strange voices."

Ning Xi asked speculatively, "Are they related to the servants?"

The old gardener shook his head, "It shouldn't be, the master is very strict with the servants, the younger servants can't get close to the backyard at all, and the wife in the mansion has a very high vision, so she doesn't look down on us servants at all. .”

"That is?"

"This old slave really doesn't know."

When Ning Xi found Xuan Mo, he saw him meditating in the courtyard of the wing room.

She walked over and told him what she had come back from after inquiring.

"Master, I suspect that Zhao Yuanwai went to the East Pagoda to borrow a debt. All he earns is blood money. Otherwise, every time he gets rich, his brothers in the family will suffer."

Xuan Mo looked up at her.

Xiao Taoyao has good observation skills, and then thought that when he released the female ghost newly recruited by Baiguitu for questioning, the female ghost refused to answer when she saw that he was a man, and fell into a state of sealing demons.

So, he asked the little peach demon in front of him, "Why does the benefactor get involved in the affairs of the world?"

Ning Xi replied solemnly: "I heard that saving one's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and transforming ghosts and ghosts can accumulate merit. It is too slow to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. I also do this to accumulate merit and practice."

"Master, you went down the mountain to practice for the purpose of subjugating demons. I have no malicious intentions. Why don't we cooperate once?"

"Amitabha, since the benefactor has such a heart, how can the poor monk refuse? The female ghost that was taken from Mr. Zhao's back last time is still in the picture of a hundred ghosts. After a while, the poor monk will release her and ask the benefactor to ask her for details. .”

Ning Xi nodded in response.

Soon, the eerie female ghost was released.

She was very emotional when she saw Xuan Mo, and wanted to attack like crazy, but after Xuan Mo avoided, only Ning Xi and the female ghost were left in the room.

Ning Xi waited for the female ghost to calm down before asking questions, and the process went smoothly.

When he went out, Xuan Mo was still meditating in front of the yard.

She told everything about the female ghost. It turned out that the female ghost was Zhao Wulang's concubine, He Shi. Zhao Wulang wanted to leave the Zhao Mansion as soon as he died.

However, the He family said that although she is a peasant girl, she does not want to enter the Zhao family as a concubine. She does not want to think that Zhao Wulang and other scholars fell in love with her when they went to the suburbs for a spring outing last year on the Shangsi Festival, and gave her parents a fortune regardless of her wishes. Without money, she was sent to the Zhao Mansion in a small sedan chair.

During these days in the Zhao Mansion, she was almost as dead as dead. Not only was she bullied by Zhao Wulang, she was also forced to act by strange men several times.

After Zhao Wulang's death, she wanted to leave Zhao's mansion but was rejected. She thought she would live alone in the yard for the rest of her life. Unexpectedly, a strange man came to bully her at night. The next day she couldn't think about it, so she hanged herself.

After he died, he felt too much resentment, so he half-possessed himself on Zhao Liulang's back, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

After Ning Xi finished speaking, he added, "He Shi doesn't know who that strange man is either."

Xuan Mo thought for a moment, and said: "The poor Taoist has made a decision in his heart, just wait for that thing to appear at night."

Ning Xi supported her chin with both hands, and said, "Okay, then I will go too."

Xuan Mo was silent.

He doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to cooperate with a demon, but he can be sure that the little peach demon has no bad intentions for the time being.

into the night.

Ning Xi went out behind Xuan Mo. Xuan Mo had an invisibility talisman attached to it, so others could not see him.

She disappeared by herself, and the two of them walked in the huge Zhao Mansion.

There is still a bright moon in the sky, which makes the pavilions and pavilions very clear.

When passing by a side courtyard, she heard an ambiguous sound.

Subconsciously looking at Xuan Mo, he heard it too.
