Survive, the rules of rebirth for the villain witch

Hanying Garden.

After settling his daughter down, Shen Zhaojun couldn't help but scold her a few words as he stared at her pale face.

"You are just helping out, why are you working so hard and making yourself look like this?"

"I did it on purpose." You Huang huddled in the quilt and said, "Now everyone in the palace knows that I was overexerted from drawing talismans to suppress evil spirits and I can't recover in a short period of time."

"I heard from Yunze about the death of someone in the palace school. It has nothing to do with you." Shen Zhaojun was not stupid. He knew that his daughter was not a coward and would not deliberately torture her body to avoid trouble.

"This mess is the result of the Gu family's own actions." You Huang lowered his voice and said, "I have to be on guard against Minister Gu coming to my house. I don't want to get into trouble."

"You mean that Prime Minister Gu will come to you for help." If this is the case, Shen Zhaojun weighed it in his heart and said, "This matter is really irreversible. When the people of Tianji Pavilion receive the news, won't they help?"

Upon hearing this, You Huang said coldly, "I advise you not to think of asking the Gu family to accept your favor. Anyone who gets involved with the Gu family will have a bad ending."

Shen Zhaojun felt her ears burning as her daughter teased her: "Mother just thought that Prime Minister Gu was a good person..."

"What do you mean by a good person?" You Huang said coldly, "As long as the knife in his hand didn't cut you, does that mean he is a good person?"

"Forget it. We can't work together if we don't share the same ideals." You Huang turned over and said, "If you want to help others block the knife, go ahead and do it yourself. If something happens, don't expect me to save you."

"I..." Shen Zhaojun didn't expect her daughter to be so determined. She sat in front of the bed and was silent for a while before saying, "It's my mother's fault. If Prime Minister Gu comes to see you, I will stop him for you. Huang'er, don't be angry with me."

You Huang simply pulled the quilt to cover his head.

What it means is that she doesn't want to talk. Whatever happens to you is whatever happens to you. It has nothing to do with her.

Shen Zhaojun sighed helplessly, stood up and said to Xuan Bing and Ting Xue: "Take good care of the young lady, and don't let the things outside disturb her."

"My subordinate understands."

"Mother is out, Huang'er, have a good rest."

With a hint of regret, Shen Zhaojun walked out of his daughter's room.

"girl……"

"You'd better not advise me."

As soon as Xuan Bing opened his mouth, You Huang stopped him immediately and said, "I tell you, whoever interferes will die."

These words frightened Xuan Bing so much that she dared not say a word. She knew that Youhuang never joked about matters of life and death, so she did not try to persuade him any further.

"Gong Xue's death is just the beginning. Someone else will die tonight." A buzzing sound came from under the quilt. Xuan Bing was startled for a moment and asked, "Miss, is the mirror we use a mercury mirror?"

"No."

You Huang lifted the quilt and answered.

Xuan Bing immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the mirror in our house doesn't communicate with yin and yang."

Tingxue came over and said, "Miss, you have some extra amulets. Stick them on the door and no evil spirits or demons will be able to get close to you."

"There's no need to do that." You Huang said nonchalantly, "We have immortal cultivators who have set up formations in our mansion, so ordinary ghosts and demons can't get in, unless someone wants to die and actively lets ghosts and demons into the mansion."

"How long will the evil ghost stop killing people?" Ting Xue asked in a low voice.

"It's not easy to get out of the ghost realm. Of course, you have to kill all your enemies before you can leave the human world and reincarnate peacefully."

You Huang reached out and stroked Daji, who was lying beside him, and murmured, "The fact that he was able to come up from the ghost realm means that even the gods and Buddhas felt that his death was too unjust and allowed him to come up to seek revenge."

"You guys go out, I need to regulate my breathing. Don't come in to disturb me within three days, and no one is allowed to disturb me." Drawing talismans consumed a lot of spiritual energy. Youhuang needed to retreat and regulate his breathing, regardless of what was happening outside.

Shen Zhaojun did not walk far. She heard her daughter's words clearly. She only returned to the main house after seeing Xuanbing and Tingxue come out.

At this moment, she felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have ignored her daughter's advice and rashly tried to interfere in Prime Minister Gu's affairs without distinguishing right from wrong, good from evil.

Now the relationship between mother and daughter has returned to what it was before. But thinking of how her husband had ruined the Marquis of Wushen Mansion by himself, she wanted to help him find a few more people to speak to in the court, so that when he goes to war again in the future, he will not have no one to help pass on the message.

Sure enough, before noon the next day, news of another death spread throughout Tiandu.

Captain Lu, who was formerly the captain of the East City and was recently transferred to the South Market, was found dead in his home early in the morning.

According to insiders, Captain Lu was trampled to death by his own horse, but his hands, feet and tongue were cooked and served on a plate. His eyeballs were in the mouths of his wife and daughter respectively. Both of them had smiles on their faces after their death, as if they had voluntarily eaten the food on the table.

These situations made many experienced yamen runners vomit, and the timid ones were scared to tears. At the moment, no one dared to touch the things inside.

The neighbors nearby moved away if they could, fearing that if they were to move a little later they would be killed. All kinds of rumors were spreading everywhere, scaring the people of Tiandu City into panic. Even the empress was alarmed and ordered the government to investigate the matter within a certain time.

Captain Lin came over and heard that Youhuang had been in a coma since his return, so he had to return to the government office first.

As a result, on the way back, he was so engrossed in thinking that he missed a step when getting off the horse and broke his leg. He had to take a leave of absence to rest at home.

In the case of Captain Lu, Chief Captain Gao Jie had to go to the scene in person and witness the scene with his own eyes. Only then did he realize how serious the case was. There were all kinds of traces at the scene, except for any trace of the murderer.

After finally bringing the body back to the government office, the coroner conducted an examination and came to the conclusion that Captain Lu was indeed trampled to death by a horse, but his hands, feet, tongue, and eyes were torn off, pulled out, and gouged out by his wife and daughter.

When the results came out, everyone was stunned.

Captain Lu's wife and daughter are both weak women, so how could they have the strength to tear off Captain Lu's hands and feet?

Judging from the situation at the scene, it would be more accurate to say that the mother and daughter were possessed by ghosts, and that the ghost was controlling them to commit the crime, rather than saying that it was the wife and daughter who did it.

Gao Jie knew that if he reported this to the empress, he would lose his official hat. He couldn't just say it was an evil ghost who did it, so he asked Taoist priests and monks to catch the ghost, bring it before the empress and claim it was the real culprit.

How could such an illusory thing as a ghost be caught so easily?

As a result, before the investigation here was completed, a new case came up. Another son of Prime Minister Gu, Gu Li, was found dead in his own pond early in the morning.

The successive deaths in the Gu family caused panic among the people. Many servants were so scared that they didn't even want to take their wages. They packed up their bags, took some belongings and secretly left the house, making the already complicated case even more complicated.

After the coroner performed an autopsy and combined it with the footprints next to the pond, the conclusion was: he accidentally fell into the water and drowned after getting drunk.

Originally, the case could have ended like this, but Gu Li's concubine said, "Gu Li gets a rash when he drinks. He usually doesn't drink anything, let alone get drunk."

The theory of accidental drowning was immediately overturned, and rumors spread throughout the city, causing Gao Jie a lot of headaches.

Day three.

Old Prime Minister Gu finally arrived at the Marquis Wushen Mansion.
