Reborn as the favorite of the cold-faced general

Someone died last night in the Sheriff's Mansion, and it happened to be in the west courtyard where Ye Huaiyun and his group lived.

The two of them had already listened to the shadow guard talking about the matter on the way. About half an hour after they left the mansion, someone found a dead body behind the grass in the Gong room in the west courtyard, and the servants of Ding's mansion agreed that It was killed by the long-haired female ghost who was elusive.

As soon as Ye Huaiyun stepped into the gate of the courtyard, Jiang Linxu rushed towards them with a more haggard appearance than in the morning, grabbed Chu Tingyun's sleeve and said: "I said there is a ghost in the house! I really saw it." !"

But the two of them couldn't care less about appeasing his emotions, so they handed him over to Duan Ye who was standing aside to take care of him, and they also walked towards the place where the body was found.

They rushed back quickly, and the servants who went to call the housekeeper and the assistant hadn't come back yet, Chu Tingyun fed Ye Huaiyun another grain of Qiao Ganmo, which concealed his sense of smell, and then led them to the back of the filthy hut.

The servants who were standing not far away watching the excitement saw the two approaching, and immediately moved out of the way.

The deceased was a woman, wearing a pure white inner shirt with a handyman's robe, who apparently died unfortunately when she got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

Chu Tingyun squatted down and unbuttoned the woman's robe, wanting to see if there were any fatal wounds on her body, but just as he undid the neck tie, a timid girl among the crowd watching the excitement suddenly "ah!" call out.

"What's the noise?" Chu Tingyun clicked impatiently.

But instead of being shut up by his majesty, the screaming maidservant yelled louder: "Master Taoist, look at her neck, it's a strangle mark! It must be a female ghost strangled to death with her long hair." of!"

Chu Tingyun: "..."

He has eyes, he can see.There was a very deep strangulation mark on the neck of the deceased, and his lips were parted to reveal half of his tongue, so he could have been attacked from behind with a very thin object and strangled to death.

Chu Tingyun glanced at her sarcastically, as if looking at an idiot, "Your hair won't break during the pulling process?"

"That's why I say it's a female ghost!" The maid admitted her death.

Chu Tingyun: "Stupid."

Just at this moment, the butler hurried over, and after confirming repeatedly, the deceased was the last handyman waiting in Mrs. Ding's courtyard.

This girl is usually quiet and doesn't like to talk, and she has never heard of offending anyone. Why was she killed suddenly? The housekeeper also frowned with regret.But these words attracted the woman whom Chu Tingyun called ignorant, clamoring about ghosts.

Chu Tingyun was too lazy to talk nonsense with her this time, so he just picked a leaf and flew over, slapped the man on the mouth, and then asked the butler why there was a legend about a female ghost in the house.

According to the butler, the female ghost with long hair and green eyes mentioned by the servants appeared about a month ago.

Since then, every now and then, a maid or servant who wakes up at night will see a figure in a white robe floating in the backyard, and after a few days, Ding Jishui fell ill with a strange illness and was bedridden, so everyone cheered. It is suspected that the disease is actually caused by evil spirits.

"How many times have people died?" Chu Tingyun asked.

The butler immediately said, "It's the first time."

Generally speaking, homicide cases in ordinary families are handed over to the government for handling, but now the dead are the county guard's own family, and Ding Jishui is unconscious, so all affairs in the government are handed over to Mrs. Ding for handling.

Ye Huaiyun and Ye Huaiyun didn't have much time to care about the grievances and grievances in the family's house, so they didn't delve into the various details of the deceased for a while, but the rumor of the female ghost that was most likely related to Ding Jishui's condition aroused their love. interest.

Back in the room, Chu Tingyun washed the hands that touched the corpse several times with clean water, and then went to the edge and sat down.

Ye Huaiyun saw the way he looked at her, and knew that this person wanted to ask her what she thought about the female ghost.

"You know I don't believe in ghosts and gods." Ye Huaiyun peeled off a sweet sleeve and put it in front of him, "And Lin Xu also said just now that he saw it through the crack in the door of the hut when he was relieved in the middle of the night. Behind the jungle there is a figure shining with green light, it can be seen that someone is pretending to be a ghost and waiting around here."

After hearing what he said, Chu Tingyun did not express his opinion immediately, but set his eyes on the peeled grapefruit on the table.

Ye Huaiyun immediately understood what he meant, and fed the food to his mouth.

Chu Tingyun bit down on it, and sucked Ye Huaiyun's fingertips before he stopped.

The fresh grapefruit juice in autumn is abundant, sweet but not astringent, and the sleeve juice with a little fragrance flows down Ye Huaiyun's fingers, leaving a wet mark on the skin.He tried his best to withdraw his hand, but as soon as he tried harder, Chu Tingyun sucked it tighter.

Ye Huaiyun raised her eyes to see his eyes shining brightly. In an instant, she seemed to be able to hear the jingle of bells ringing irregularly in her ears, and her fingers retracted uncontrollably.In broad daylight, Xiao was thinking about something, besides, he was talking about the female ghost just a second ago.

It wasn't until the whole grapefruit had entered his throat that Chu Tingyun let go of his fingers, and let out a hoarse laughter: "Did you just say... that your back hurts?"

Ye Huaiyun: "..." Did you really hear it?

Chu Tingyun stared at his cheeks and the red fingers he had just bullied, and couldn't help laughing teasingly: "What's there to be shy about? I'll help you apply the medicine!"

"Cough, no, it doesn't hurt anymore." Ye Huaiyun lowered his head and looked away. He didn't know where to put his slightly numb fingers for a while, so he could only peel the grapefruit again, and said lightly: "What about the female ghost?" Rumors, what do you think?"

Chu Tingyun dragged his chin with one hand, and waited for Ye Huaiyun to feed him another piece of pomelo, but the person opposite just ate the peeled fruit by himself, which made him a little dissatisfied, so he had to follow his words and continued: " My opinion is the same as yours, but the trick of waiting for a rabbit is not only used by those who are in the dark. Whether it is a human or a ghost, you will know when you try it at night."

The two of them are now in a tacit understanding, Ye Huaiyun can already understand all his meanings without completely revealing the meaning of the words.

Since there are people with hidden thoughts hiding nearby waiting for an opportunity, they will keep an eye on the entire West Courtyard. Once they find the "female ghost" of Shilaozi, everything will be clear after they are arrested.

He thought seriously along this line of thought, and before he knew it, the whole grapefruit had been peeled open.In his ear, Chu Tingyun took the opportunity to ask again: "Do you really need me to rub the medicine for you?"

"..." Ye Huaiyun simply sent all the flesh in front of him and blocked his mouth.

At night, the moonlight was faint and the stars were shining brightly. The two changed into night clothes and went out through the window.

Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun walked silently across the roof tiles side by side, and had to admit that they felt much better after applying the medicine.

When they walked into Jiang Linxu's room, the candles in the room were brightly lit, and a few men's laughter could be heard faintly, so they lifted a tile and looked down.

In the room, Jiang Linxu was wrapped in a quilt and sat cross-legged on the bed, while Duan Ye was sitting by the bed with a black cat in his arms, telling him various interesting stories, which made people laugh again and again, but he was no longer afraid of illusory ghosts. It is also a good thing.

The two didn't delay much, just glanced at it and left again, hiding on a tree in the backyard to observe the movements in all directions.

In fact, they did not report any hope for this trip today. After all, that "female ghost" killed someone just last night, and the mansion is heavily guarded tonight. If it reappears, there will inevitably be a risk of being discovered.

But not long after Ye Huaiyun and two people hid in the tree, they saw a light green light flashing not far away, and immediately used their lightness kung fu to keep up.

The figure shuttled extremely fast, and even Ye Huaiyun had to use his qinggong to the extreme to keep a distance from being left behind.

Following all the way from the west courtyard to the east courtyard, the ghost finally floated into Mrs. Ding's side courtyard.

Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun quickly climbed over the wall and landed silently, but the huge courtyard was empty, and there was no light green light anywhere.

The two looked at each other under the moonlight like water, and there was a hint of suspicion in each other's eyes.Just based on this ethereal lightness kung fu, one can tell that the kung fu of that pretender is no worse than Chu Tingyun.

But looking at the entire rivers and lakes or courts of the Central Plains, he really couldn't think of a few people who could match him, let alone a woman.

But in this situation, the two of them couldn't think too much about it for a while, because in the dead of night, there was a strange sound suddenly heard in a room, which was rushing, sometimes slow, and intermittent.

"What sound?" Ye Huaiyun listened intently, as if it came from Madam Ding's master bedroom.

Chu Tingyun also recovered from the female ghost's speculation, and there were a series of extremely ambiguous sounds in his ears.His thin lips curled up, "Doesn't Huai Yun know better than me what this voice is?"

As she said that, she deliberately squeezed Ye Huaiyun's waist, put it behind her ear and laughed in a low voice: "You called me last night, it's much more seductive than this."

The waist that had just been rubbed with the ointment was extremely sensitive, and being teased by such half-shy and half-affectionate whispers in the middle of the night, Ye Huaiyun only felt his earlobe sprayed by Chu Tingyun's breath, and it was so hot that he could bleed. Finding my breathing as steady as possible, remembering what I was going to say just now.

He took Chu Tingyun's hand on his waist, and at first he didn't want the man to see his blushing face, then he cleared his throat, "I mean, this is Mrs. Ding's yard, and Ding Jishui is not sick. Let’s start, should this kind of voice be right.”

Hearing what he said, Chu Tingyun also realized that something was wrong, and already had a certain guess in his heart.

In order to verify the conjecture, the two flew and landed on the roof of the bedroom.

The bed curtain in the room was drooping, but a candle was burning on the bedside table.The light of the fire was dim and yellow, just enough to reflect the spring scenery on the bed on the pure white gauze curtain.

Ye Huaiyun subconsciously closed his eyes, but at the same time his vision was blocked, the sound piercing into his ears became more intense, telling him to escape here as soon as possible.

Ye Huaiyun picked up the tiles and was about to block the hole, but Chu Tingyun suddenly grabbed his wrist.He hesitated and turned his head to the side, seeing Chu Tingyun shaking his head to himself solemnly, and said, "Don't listen to that voice, listen to the others."

others?

Ye Huaiyun waved away the chaos in his mind in his deep voice, and sure enough, the ambiguous panting was occasionally mixed with voices talking about other things, which made him feel annoyed that his concentration was really too poor.

"What is the origin of those Taoist priests? Are they really capable of waking up Ding Jishui?" This is what the man said out of breath.

"Anyway, I found out a long time ago that they are just a few charlatans who want to cheat the doctor's money." The woman's voice became even weaker, and she had to take several breaths intermittently to complete a sentence, "Ding Jishui can wake up." It was just their luck, as long as I take another dose of strong medicine and push Ding Jishui's death to those Taoist priests, you have nothing to worry about."

"Ha...then I'll just wait for your good news."
