Son of Heaven Assistance System

Chapter 144 The Fragrance of Death
"Ah... I'm going to die!"

The girl's frightened scream instantly tore through the quiet night, and pierced through Uncle Bai's eardrums.

"Bang, bang, bang", the heartbeat missed a beat, and after a sudden contraction, it began to beat violently, passing by quickly, so intense that it might jump out of the chest at any time.

The words that Uncle Bai intended to comfort Bai Xiantong turned around in his throat and was swallowed again.

"Why is your twelfth sister here?!" He asked loudly, but at the same time, the sound of panicked footsteps also suddenly appeared at this moment, and the figure had disappeared in front of Bai Xiantong's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Indeed, Bai Xianyou was by no means his favorite daughter.Compared with Bai Xianyou, he sympathized with the well-behaved Bai Xiantong more, favored the clever Bai Qianxi more, was more at ease and decent Bai Xiannan, and cared more about the far-married Bai Xiannan.

But if he were asked to choose just one among his many daughters, he would choose Bai Xianyou without hesitation!
This half-legged daughter has already set foot on the road to the mother of the country!

...

The seventeen maidservants in Manxiangyuan, plus the red sandalwood sent by the old lady and the Diancui sent by the old lady, a total of nineteen people died in the back room of Manxiangyuan.

Nineteen corpses were neatly stacked on the floor of the back room, but there were no signs of fighting in the back room, and none of the corpses had any wounds.Even if you look carefully, you will feel absurdly that these inexplicable dead people are very peaceful.

Bai Jiyuan was the first to discover it, followed by Bai Xianyou, and then Uncle Bai.

Afterwards, the eldest lady was the first to arrive. She couldn't find Bai Jiyuan and Bai Xianyou, so she subconsciously led people to Manxiang Garden to find them. As a result, she encountered such a strange thing, and the eldest lady did not expect it. Although it is a pity that Diancui is gone, fortunately her two children are still safe.

Bai Xianyou never came back to his senses, he was dumbfounded; Bai Jiyuan was not frightened, and even a little bit excited, but there was obviously a little sadness and fear in the eyes he looked at his father.

"Mother Yan, take the two of them back for me, and find someone to keep an eye on them, and remember to never leave!", the eldest lady ordered in a deep voice, and then turned to Uncle Bai and asked, "Master, do you want to report to the official?"

Yan's mother's movements were extremely fast, almost at the moment when Da Furen's voice fell, she pulled the brothers and sisters one by one, and left the back room and Manxiang Garden as if flying. They are willing to stay, and Bai Jiyuan and Bai Xianyou cooperated very rarely this time.

Uncle Bai's gaze was extremely heavy at the moment, and after a long time, he shook his head slowly, and then replied with difficulty: "I can't report to the officials, the Bai family can't afford to lose face."

Indeed, the deaths of the nineteen people in front of them were all strange.

If it is said that these people committed suicide collectively, it does not make sense at all. You must know that there were Zitan and Diancui among the dead. In other words, these two people can be regarded as having a bright future, and there is no need to commit suicide at all.

But it would be absurd to say that someone killed him!What kind of means and ability are needed to deal with a whole yard of servants in such a silent manner without the Bai family noticing?
The current situation is more like ghosts and gods than man-made.However, the Bai family is going to become a descendant. How can this kind of thing, which is obviously like a punishment from God, be exposed to the world!
"Let Jing Xin take over, this matter is too tricky, so leave it alone."

Manxiangyuan belongs to the backyard, and all the dead are female servants belonging to the backyard.When such a thing happened, naturally the eldest lady should be the first to handle it, but considering the only remaining Bai Xiantong in Manxiangyuan when the accident happened, and also thinking about the conversation in Zhiningyuan before, Uncle Bai decided to do it himself. deal with this matter.

The lady smirked and said: "I can't ask for it..." You must know that Man Xiangyuan or Bai Xiantong is a thunder, who knows if digging deeper will set herself on fire, the left and right already know that Bai Xiantong has a problem Well, she can't kill Bai Xiantong, so why continue to spend a lot of energy on Bai Xiantong, instead of doing this, she might as well put her limited energy on those hidden dangers that have not been found out.

What's more, if Jing Xin takes over, she is actually more at ease. After all, she has tied Jing Wu to her side. At the same time, she also believes in Jing Xin's ability. Using Jing Xin to find the real culprit behind the scenes is also a disguised form for the dead Dian Cui. One explained.

When Jing Xin received the report and rushed to Manxiangyuan from the study in the front yard, the eldest lady had already returned to Zhiningyuan.

At the moment, Zhining Courtyard is brightly lit, especially in the main room, almost two steps and one candlestick, the whole room is as bright as day.

Looking at the two brothers and sisters, each with a chair in front of them, sitting silently opposite each other, the eldest lady said in a deep voice.

"Why are you scared? Didn't your mother warn you not to get close to Manxiang Garden, you have suffered a lot now."

Bai Xianyou pursed her lips. In fact, she was not afraid when she saw the corpses at the beginning. After all, they all looked quite peaceful. She was even puzzled at that time. Why did it just get dark for a while? They were all lazy and sleeping.

So she wanted to wake up Diancui and ask, but before her hand touched Diancui, she was grabbed by her good sixth brother, and then Bai Jiyuan almost yelled at her: "Don't Move! They're all dead! Don't destroy the scene!"

She was not frightened by the nineteen corpses, she was frightened by her own brother...

"Mother, there's nothing to be afraid of the dead..." Bai Xianyou lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, then turned to look at her mother, "They are almost normal people, they just seem to be asleep .”

The lady was taken aback by Bai Xianyou's words.

At this time, Bai Jiyuan "cut", "Then why are you so silent? I thought you were scared out of your wits, and specially lit these lights for you."

Wrinkling her steamed bun face tightly, Bai Xianyou retorted: "I didn't say anything because I was thinking about what that smell is."

"What smell?" Bai Jiyuan asked, and the lady frowned at the same time.

"Didn't you smell it? Although it's a little faint, it's still obvious. It's just... just... a little sweet, but a little greasy, oops... oops... I can't remember it all at once. ", Bai Xianyou said with a look of annoyance afterwards.

"Tired?", the eldest lady closed her eyes, her heart sank, children are forgetful, but she remembered very clearly, that time more than three months ago, when Luo Bin was ordered by Bai Xiantong to harm her daughter, she After my daughter woke up, she also used the word "greasy" when describing the smell she smelled before vomiting.
