Chapter 105 Investigating Wu Mansion

After they were seated, Baili Changting cupped his fists and saluted them and said, "Yesterday I heard Chang'an tell me about your rescue. This is a thank you gift to you."

The thank you gift he was talking about was the box on their table. Lin Tangzhou opened the box and was blinded by the golden gold ingot inside. Then he closed it with an expressionless face and cupped his hands towards Baili Changting and said: "We I just drew my sword to help, the young general is too polite!"

Baili Changting: "It sounds like you are not from Shunyang Prefecture."

Shunyang Prefecture refers to the area including Tai'an City, Anbei City, and even Donghua Town.

Lin Tangzhou and the others had already prepared perfect words, "We are indeed not from Shunyang Prefecture. We came from the mountains far away and came out to practice under the orders of our teachers."

"Are you people from the Jianghu?" Baili Changan said with twinkling eyes and a strong curiosity on his face, "This is the first time I've seen people like you from the Jianghu! The ones I've seen before were all big men with huge backs and strong waists, or It’s just old men, this is the first time I’ve seen you so young.”

Lin Tangzhou was ashamed: "We have grown up in the mountains since we were young, and this is the first time we have gone down the mountain by ourselves, so if there is something wrong and I say something wrong, I still need the forgiveness of the young general and the eldest lady."

Baili Changan smiled and said: "We don't have so many rules."

The meals have been served. Although Lin Tangzhou is not hungry, he still has some appetite looking at the delicious food in front of him. While eating, he listens to the conversation between Ye Xiao and Baili Changting.

He originally thought that Ye Xiao would take the initiative to bring up the topic of strange events, but the first person to bring it up was Baili Changting, and judging from his hesitant look, he was afraid that he wanted to ask them for help.

A flash of understanding flashed in Ye Xiao's eyes, and he waited quietly for Baili Changting to speak.

"Actually, I'm not just calling you here to thank you."

Lin Tangzhou silently put down his bowl and chopsticks and began to listen carefully.

"I heard from my little sister that you all have extraordinary skills, so I would like to ask you to do me a favor." Baili Changting picked up his wine glass and raised it to them, "You should also be here because of the haunting incident in Anbei City, right?"

Ye Xiao nodded without concealing anything, "I heard something about it on the way here, so I thought of investigating it. This can be regarded as...the master's mission."

Baili Changan interrupted: "Aren't you just like Taoist priests? Can you catch ghosts?"

The corner of Lin Tangzhou's mouth twitched, and he looked at Ye Xiao and Qiao Yuanji. He touched the tip of his nose and said, "Where did the ghost come from in this world? Don't be too superstitious!"

Ye Xiao and Qiao Yuanji remained silent at the same time, and listened to Lin Tangzhou start to fool around, "I heard the eldest lady describe some specific situations before. This lost body suddenly appeared and walked on its own. It should be the effect of medicine, or a poisonous insect. The mysterious and strange Gu insects in the mysterious Miao territory.”

After hearing about Miao Jiang, Baili Changting paused for a moment, and his doubts about their identities were reduced by more than half. It seemed that these people were indeed disciples of the Jianghu sect who had never been born before.

Baili Changting said: "We are not familiar with these Jianghu techniques, and we hope that you can help us." He took out a token from his arms, with the three characters "General's Mansion" on it, "This is from the General's Mansion" With the token, you will not encounter any obstacles in your investigation. When the truth comes out, the General's Mansion will definitely thank you! Personally, I will also consider you a favor. If there is anything that needs help, I will definitely help you. .”

Ye Xiao agreed. This was almost the result he expected. Then he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "You're welcome, Major General. We will do our best to investigate."

"I want to go too!" Baili Changan suddenly stopped his brother, "Brother, can I go investigate with my three benefactors?"

"Chang'an, don't make trouble!" Baili Changting frowned slightly and directly rejected her request. Looking at his sister's slumped face, he said helplessly, "You are also holding back the three young masters. You forgot yesterday's assassination." Are you ready? It’s better to stay at the inn these days!”

Seeing that Baili Changan was rejected, Lin Tangzhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this eldest lady investigated with them, they might not be able to do anything.

After they left the inn, Baili Changting sent someone to take them back to the inn. On the way back, Lin Tangzhou told them about the news they heard in the flower house last night. The first one was about the current situation in Wufu, and the second one was It was the young master Wu Bei who had been missing for many years.

Qiao Yuanji tapped his fan on the table, "I went to Wu Mansion last night to have a look. I can only say it's a bit strange."

"Why is it strange?"

"Aura." Qiao Yuanji was drawing something on the table. "The layout of the Wu Mansion is very strange, especially the mansion in the backyard which is a bit weird and has a touch of evil spirit. After exploring it..." He paused and said, He looked at Lin Tangzhou and said in a deep voice, "This is the residence of that concubine Taoyao."

"What a coincidence!" Lin Tangzhou raised his eyebrows. He opened the car curtain and looked at the street outside. He suddenly thought, "Why don't we go to Wufu now to have a look? We just got the sign, why don't we go and take a closer look?"

Ye Xiao and Qiao Yuanji had no objection. They directly changed their destination and headed to Wu Mansion.

Wufu is located in Dongshi, where houses of all sizes are neatly arranged. Wufu is indeed the richest man in Anbei City, and the layout looks different from the others.

Lin Tangzhou stepped forward and knocked on the door of Wu Mansion. After a while, someone opened the door.

"Who are you gentlemen?" The boy who opened the door poked his head through the crack in the door.

Lin Tangzhou directly showed the sign of the General's Mansion, "We were ordered to investigate!"

The boy quickly opened the door and said urgently: "Please wait a moment, let me go and report!"

After a while, the door opened, and the steward of the Wu Mansion took them to the lobby. Sitting on the main seat was a beautiful woman in her thirties, wearing a graceful and luxurious brocade peony-patterned dress and a golden hairpin with hibiscus flowers on her head.

"My lords, please take a seat!" Mrs. Wu had a suitable smile on her face. The maid made tea for them and then left.

Ye Xiao clasped his fists and said bluntly: "We are the ones disturbing you today. We are here to investigate the corpse dumping case under the orders of the Major General. I won't drink the tea anymore. Please take us directly to Mr. Wu's room!"

Mrs. Wu's expression changed slightly, but she returned to normal in the next breath. She stood up and took them to Mr. Wu's master bedroom. No one had been to this room since Mr. Wu's death.

"This room is still the same as before. No one has been here, and I don't dare to ask anyone to clean it." Mrs. Wu said slowly.

They stepped into the room. Lin Tangzhou saw that the dust on the table was piled up. Didn't Mr. Wu only die for half a month?

Madam Wu originally wanted to follow her in, but was stopped by Qiao Yuanji, "Madam Wu, could you please wait for us outside for a while?"

"Okay." Madam Wu didn't ask why and closed the door for them when she left.

A talisman appeared in Qiao Yuanji's hand. This was a spirit-detecting talisman that could make all the auras within the range visible to the naked eye.

After using the soul-detecting talisman, a deathly aura surrounded the bed. It seemed that Mr. Wu died on this bed.

Lin Tangzhou vaguely saw a light pink aura, "What is this?" The light pink aura was surrounding the small bronze mirror that was upside down on the table.

"The smell of demonic energy is very light. It must be due to his age."

"Let's go out and take a look, we might see something!" Qiao Yuanji waved his sleeves, cleared away all traces of the spell, opened the door and walked out.

Mrs. Wu hurriedly came forward, "Did the three adults discover anything?"
