Renew

The broken door was crumbling, and a few maidservants outside the door looked on in astonishment.

Xiaofu came back to her senses, took a few steps back abruptly, clutched her chest and couldn't speak, even her pupils froze.

"He's dead, he's dead—" the maidservant who came running from Si Zhao to help knock on the door yelled, her knees were so weak that she fell to the ground, her legs staring wildly, trying to crawl out of the woodshed.

The maidservant who had just gone around to the back of the house ran back, glanced into the woodshed, held her breath suddenly, turned her head and said in fear: "There is no one behind the house, the windows are closed."

But Kong Qing is still calm, in the cold weather, her back is full of cold sweat, her whole body is cold, she forcibly tore the light from Yu Zhuo's body, and looked at the side window of the firewood house as soon as she turned her eyes , I saw that the window was closed, but there was a mud mark on the wall, as if...

It seemed that someone stepped on it unintentionally and rubbed on it.

The window was opened very high, almost under the roof tiles, and the footprints were less than half a foot below the window, how could ordinary people step on it, not to mention that there was no ladder/ladder in the house.

It couldn't be Yu Zhuo who stepped on it, unless she wanted to climb out with a rope, but if she could get out, why bother to hang herself?

Kong Qing took a deep breath and said, "Put her down quickly."

A few nursing homes in the distance ran over tremblingly, and one person helped up the overturned high stool. After stepping on it, he found that it was still out of reach, so another person stepped on his shoulder, and finally cut off the stool tied to the beam with difficulty. on the rope.

The rope broke suddenly, and the maid who was suspended in the air suddenly fell, and when she landed, there was a thud, which startled the people standing beside her.

Kong Qing took half a step back, shivering and said: "She...is she still angry?"

Nursing Yuan placed his fingers among Yu Zhuo's people, and felt the pulse of her neck, then withdrew his hand abruptly, shook his head and said: "The person is gone."

Kong Qing rubbed the cloth with cold hands, turned to Xiao Fu and said: "Go back to the house, don't let the eldest girl come out to see, don't let her be frightened."

Xiaofu's whole body was exhausted, she was very dazed, when she heard what Kong Qing said, she nodded again and again, turned around and went to find her own girl.

Si Zhao and Meng Yuan came out of the house one after another, both of them looked shocked.

Si Zhao frowned and said, "What's going on, what happened in the woodshed?"

"The girl in the firewood room is dead?" Meng Xian looked at the maid who had just shouted.

The maid was so frightened that she cried, "Report to Madam, Yu Zhuo is dead."

Xiaofu pushed the door open and entered the room, only to see her girl's slender brows were tightly frowned, she looked worried, she hurriedly said: "Young lady, don't go out, Yuzhuo her, her..." She didn't know what to say for a moment.

Rong Li said softly: "I just heard someone say that the maid in the woodshed...is dead?" The frightened expression is really impeccable, even the thin fingers are trembling.

"I haven't released my spiritual sense to check it out, so don't ask me." Hua Su said lightly.

Rong Li naturally knew that she shouldn't rely on a ghost who treats human life like an ant, and this ghost may even be wounded.She turned her downcast eyes suddenly, and asked, "How did she die?"

Xiaofu knew that she couldn't hide this, so she could only say: "She was tied to the beam by a hemp rope. When we opened the door and walked in, her, her eyes were wide open, and her face turned purple."

Rong Li stood up, and put the cat, which was too scared by Hua Su, to move on the table, "Has the fog cleared outside?"

"It's not gone yet." Xiaofu said.

Rong Li nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Hua Su, "I want to go and have a look."

"Girl, don't watch it, what if, what if you run into a ghost again." Xiao Fu's eyes were red, and she was about to cry again.

Rong Li shook his head: "Don't be afraid, I haven't done anything wrong."

Xiaofu couldn't stop her, so she had to follow her out of the house with a bitter face.

Hua Su didn't take this matter to heart, it was just a mortal who was killed and had nothing to do with her.Seeing Rongli looking back at the cat, she reluctantly said: "Go, I will watch the cat for you for now."

In fact, she didn't need to stare at the cat, as long as she stood by the side, the little black cat wouldn't dare to move.

Outside the firewood room, the two ladies stood far away, thousands of miles away from the broken door, as if they were afraid of getting bad luck.

"Go and report this matter to the master." Si Zhao pinched the veil, obviously she couldn't smell anything in this foggy day, and she was far enough away from the woodshed, so she still covered her mouth and nose with the veil.

A servant girl responded and hurried out.

The guards who were still standing in the firewood room were afraid, but they were puzzled. They even had such difficulty cutting the rope, and they didn't know how the maid was lifted up. They couldn't reach it just by stepping on the stool. Can't you still jump up?

Kong Qing stood outside the house, with her hands clenched tightly, she did not turn her head to express her doubts in front of the two wives.

At this time, Rong Li walked over, and saw the female corpse lying on the ground from a distance, and when he looked up, he saw the cut hemp rope hanging from the beam.

The wind blew into the house, and the broken hemp rope fluttered under the hanging beam.

Rong Li's face was already pale, but now his eyes were trembling, and he stood motionless, as if he was scared out of his wits.

Xiaofu looked at her worriedly, lowered her voice and whispered in her ear: "When we passed by just now, Kong Qing and I heard rustling noises in the woodshed, Yu Zhuo seemed to be strangled several times, we knocked on the door At that time, the window in the room rang for some reason, and after knocking open the door, I found that Yu Zhuo had...already been like this."

Rong Li nodded slightly, still staring at the firewood room, seeing that Xiao Fu was going to raise her hand to cover her eyes, he quickly grabbed Xiao Fu's wrist.

Xiao Fu stomped her feet and said, "Miss, don't watch it!"

Rong Li pinched her wrist, loosened his five fingers, and patted the back of her hand twice as soothing.The corners of her lips raised secretly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly saw Yu Zhuo's soul.

Yu Zhuo's dead soul was gray and light, like a wisp of smoke, standing beside his dead body.There was also a circle of bruises on her soul's neck, and although her eyes were not staring, the eyeballs seemed to be falling out of their sockets.

Rong Li looked at her, not afraid that the ghost would suddenly raise his head, just staring at her for a moment.

Yu Zhuo seemed to have sensed it, and really raised his head. When looking outside the house, he first looked at the third wife, Meng Xian, with a resentful and sad expression.She rolled her eyes, and suddenly she met the eyes of the eldest girl.

Rong Li didn't look away, and looked at her openly.

Yu Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the eldest girl could, unexpectedly, see her!She floated out of the door tentatively and hung in front of the third lady, but the third lady didn't even look at her.She raised her hand, intending to take out the heart of the third lady, but she dared to approach it, but was pushed away violently.

It was as if a bell had struck hard on her celestial cap, she was trembling, and her whole body was in unbearable pain.

Yu Zhuo doesn't believe in evil, she is already a ghost now, so she is afraid that she will not be a living person?She reached out to grab it again, but unexpectedly, she was shaken far away like flying catkins.

Her thin soul seemed to be torn apart, in pain, and almost disappeared.

There might be something on the third lady.

"Don't look at it." Rong Li turned sideways and opened her mouth, she already knew who killed Yu Zhuo, but she didn't know what Meng Xian was carrying, not only the second wife, even Yu Zhuo couldn't touch her.

Xiaofu supported her and said: "Miss, let's go back to the house, the master will be here in a while."

Rong Li turned around, glanced casually at Yu Zhuo's ghost, "Let's go."

Yu Zhuo got up in panic, and followed Rongli into the room, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw a man wrapped in black silk...

She couldn't tell whether it was a human or a ghost, she had never heard of anyone else in the eldest girl's house, but if it was a ghost, this ghost was quite different from her.

Xiaofu closed the door and said anxiously: "Since I moved to this Orchid Courtyard, nothing good has happened."

"What good things happened in the bamboo courtyard?" Rong Li sighed softly, "Go and watch outside the house, I want to be alone."

"But, but..." Xiao Fu hesitated.

"If something happens, I will definitely call you." Rongli said again.

Xiaofu had no choice but to go out again, and looked outside the door to the firewood room. After a while, she felt that something was wrong. If ordinary people are afraid, they would like to find someone to accompany them. Why is the eldest girl in her family different?

The maidservant of the ganghua ghost in the room couldn't move, her whole body seemed to be oppressed by an invisible force, as if a giant net was covering her celestial spirit cover, and it sucked all the energy from her body, and her heart suddenly surged up. Can't hold back the fear.

She moved her lips, unable to even speak, her throat seemed to be strangled, and the feeling of suffocation dropped again.

Hua Su didn't even look at her, but secretly released coercion to frighten her.

Rong Li sat down unhurriedly, and raised his arms to embrace the little black cat on the table.The cat threw its head into her arms, turned its tail towards Hua Su, and hummed softly.

She stroked the cat and pressed down its fur, "Do you know who hurt you?"

The force on Yu Zhuo's throat was loosened, although the coercion hanging over her head hadn't dissipated, she was barely able to speak, she coughed hoarsely, and said in fear: "Why can you see me, you are really haunted... ... haunted?"

The word "tangle" is quite subtle, and Hua Su doesn't like to hear it.

Hua Su was originally on his side, but when he heard this, he turned towards Yu Zhuo, the black silk covering his face was not removed, only a pair of narrow and sharp eyes were exposed.The expression in her eyes was indifferent, with the indifference of looking down on the common people, and she was very lonely.

Yu Zhuo's pupils shrank suddenly, she was floating after becoming a ghost, her feet couldn't reach the ground, but this ghost touched the ground firmly, except for the black robe, her appearance was no different from ordinary people, like a human but not like a human , It looks like a ghost but I don't know if it is a ghost or not.

Hua Su sat down, not paying attention to her at all.

Yu Zhuo glanced into the room, only to realize that there was a weird thing standing in the corner, the thing was white all over, the skeleton seemed to be slanted, and the features on the face were crooked and weird, like a paper tie.Just when she was about to look away, she suddenly felt that "paper-wrapped" eyes rolled for a moment.

"That's the skinning ghost." Rong Li said softly, "Why can I see you? Naturally, it's because I was thrown into the water by you. I should have died, but luckily I saved my life. Human half ghost."

Yu Zhuo hurriedly kowtowed, "It's the third lady who wants to kill you, she, she..."

"She threatened you?" Rong Li looked down at her.

Yu Zhuo didn't speak, just kowtowed.

"She bought you." Rong Li changed his words and said again.

Hua Su spent all his time looking at this girl teasing ghosts, and felt that she was becoming more and more like a fox, and she played the fox's fake tiger's power vividly and vividly.

Yu Zhuo kowtowed and said: "I'm sorry for the eldest girl, I'm sorry for the eldest girl, there is an old father who is seriously ill in the servant's family, and the servant cannot afford to hire a doctor, so the third wife gave the servant some benefits, and the servant is also desperate."

"You think Sanniang is your benefactor, so you do what Sanniang asks you to do." There was no anger in Rong Li's eyes, and his eyes were as clear as a pool of water. She chuckled and said, "Do you know you What does it look like?"

Yu Zhuo didn't say a word.

"Dogs rely on people's power." Rong Li said lightly, stopping every word, and his voice was very long.

The corners of Hua Su's lips that were hidden under the black silk suddenly raised, and he bent his index finger and tapped on the table, thinking in his heart that a dog fighting against others is really similar to a fox pretending to be a tiger.

"The servant is blind and followed the wrong master, but she sent someone to hang me from the beam even though I had clearly achieved this, one of them pushed open the window under the roof tiles and ran away, and the other Lock it again after going out, and let me pretend to hang myself." Yu Zhuo cried, and when she raised her hand to wipe her face, she realized that she was crying blood.

Rong Li was thoughtful, and asked again: "How long have you been with Meng Xian?"

Yu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then snapped his fingers and said, "Young lady, it's been five years." Even if she has become a ghost now, she still knows how to judge the situation, and at a glance, she can tell that the relationship between the young girl and the black-robed ghost is by no means ordinary. Well, this ghost can't be offended, so she naturally didn't dare to contradict the eldest girl.

She has already been murdered into a ghost, so she can't end up with a ghost in the end.

Rong Li asked: "Do you know how the second lady left?"

"I don't know." Yu Zhuo's voice paused, afraid that she would not believe her, and said again: "Don't dare to lie to the girl!"

Rong Li frowned, "What does Meng Xian have to do with the accountant in the mansion?"

Yu Zhuo lowered her eyes, she didn't know that the account manager was taken to the government, she was stunned for a while, and said truthfully: "I only know that the third lady has met the gentleman a few times in private."

Rong Li stroked the cat, his eyes were like water, and just a glance made one's heart arouse, "Then do you know that the third lady asked for a divination for the Rong family, and the divination said that the Rong family needed to pay homage to the eldest lady?"

"I know." Yu Zhuo's forehead was still pressed to the ground.

"Which temple did she go to?" Rong Li leaned forward slowly, approaching her.

Yu Zhuo hurriedly said, "It's the Qiushou Temple on Huawu Mountain!"

"Qiu Shou Temple?" Rong Li has never been to this temple, but he has vaguely heard that the river under Huawu Mountain is often flooded. Once flooded, the bridge will be flooded. The flood will not recede in ten days and a half months, so the mountain The incense in the temple is not strong, and there are very few people going up the mountain.

"What else do you know?" Rong Li asked.

"She often goes to the Qiushou Temple. I don't know anything else other than that." Yu Zhuo whispered, "It's a pity that I can't get close to Xian, otherwise I will definitely take her life!"

Rong Li shook his head: "It's okay, when was the last time she went to Qiushou Temple?"

"Every time Meng Xian goes out of the mansion, he is only accompanied by the girl who is close to him, and the slaves don't know about it." Yu Zhuo said.

"It seems that the close girl knows a lot." Rong Li straightened up, his voice became a little hoarse, and he coughed lightly.

Hua Su raised his hand, and poked out his thin white fingers from under the black robe. With a hook of his index finger, the porcelain pot and cups on the table rose up automatically, as if they were being supported by two hands. With a tilt, water was poured into the cup.

Hearing the sound of water, Yu Zhuo raised his head secretly, and his soul trembled with fright at just one glance.

Rong Li blinked her eyes, she had known Hua Su for several days, but she had never seen Hua Su wasting ghost power like this.

The water trickled out slowly, and before the water in the cup overflowed, it straightened the body of the pot and fell back on the table.

"Drink water." Hua Su said lightly.

Rongli pressed the cat with one hand, raised the other hand to raise the glass, and when he pressed the rim of the glass to his lips, he quietly looked at Hua Su with his eyes.

Hua Su suddenly stood up and stood in front of Yu Zhuo, so close that Yu Zhuo could feel the chill on her body.

Yu Zhuo raised his head slowly, trembling with fear, "My lord, I've told you everything I know."

Hua Su's eyes were dull, his black robe shook, and a long black chain hit the ground with a ding.

The chain was thicker than the woman's arm, and it was dark. There seemed to be some old scratches on it, but it was hard to see clearly.

Yu Zhuo bowed his head when he heard the sound, although he didn't know what it was, his heart was beating like thunder.

Hua Su rolled up the black robe unhurriedly, revealing a corner of the skirt that was hidden underneath. Her hand happened to hold one end of the rope. Her five fingers were as slender as green onions. The blue veins are slightly distinct, thin and powerful.

The chain was swung, and the ground shook with a clang, and the other end was like a spirit snake, bound towards Yuzhuo.

Yu Zhuo was tightly tied up, unable to even struggle, the force from nowhere was pressing on her head, making her unable to move, this...

Is it the big ghost?

After being tied firmly, the long rope suddenly disappeared.

Hua Su put down the rolled up black silk, which completely covered her sleeves and hands.

Yu Zhuo moved her shoulders and hands tentatively, but she didn't expect that the chains tied to her body were really gone, "This is..."

"This is the binding spirit rope, which can make you disappear from the ghostly aura, but it also binds your feet, so as not to cause trouble for me." Hua Su shook his black robe, sat back and closed his eyes.

Yu Zhuo accepted his fate, kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your request, sir."

Rong Li took another sip of water, "Do you remember the looks of the two who hung you on the beam?"

"Remember, they are all strangers. They only know their appearance, but I don't know which courtyard they are from." Yu Zhuo responded.

"Remember clearly." Rong Li said softly, "Go find it for me."

Yu Zhuo clenched his ten fingers, "I will take this revenge back!"

"Noisy, go out." Hua Su didn't even want to look at the maid.

Yu Zhuo stood up in a hurry, walked through the wall with his head down, and walked out of the house just like that.

Rongli was aggressive just now, but when the maid left, she immediately softened, "I thought you would swallow her."

"You still need her, why should I swallow her, besides, swallowing her is useless." Hua Su said lightly.

Rong Li said softly: "You bound her, but you want to guard against her?"

"Such a thing that is easy to betray the master, if it provokes other ghosts in the city, it will be fine." Hua Su snorted coldly.

Rong Li figured it out, she was really afraid that other ghosts would come, and she avoided it if she could, but the ghosts were still powerless.

After a while, Rong Changting really came, and in the firewood room he said with a beating heart, "Hang yourself?"

"I'm afraid he committed suicide in fear of crime." Meng Xian said with lowered eyes.

Rong Changting walked into the room, looked up at the cut hemp rope on the hanging beam, but couldn't see what happened.

Kong Qing stood on the side, wanting to open his mouth to mention the marks on the wall, but he didn't want to do it in front of the two ladies.

Xiaofu stood outside Rongli's house, stomping her feet anxiously, wondering why no one noticed the mud marks on the wall?

"How can she throw the hemp rope up? It's just such a stool, how can you step on it and reach it?" Rong Changting frowned.

"If she really wants to die, she will rack her brains and come up with a way. Why bother, master, just treat it as a different way to punish her for the wrong things she committed." Meng Xian's eyes wandered, and he said: " It's bad luck, the master should come out quickly so that someone can find a place to bury her."

Rong Changting came out and waved his hand: "Take it to Gaomianling and bury it."

The two guards walked over, wrapped the corpses on the ground with straw mats, and carried them out together.

Rong Changting sighed, glanced at Rongli's room, and walked over after hesitating for a long time.

Xiao Fu hurriedly blessed her body, "Master."

Rong Changting raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Why did you let the eldest girl stay alone in the room?"

Hearing the sound, Rong Li chuckled, stood up and went to open the door.The moment she touched the door page, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and her face changed very quickly.

She stepped out of the threshold, turned around and closed the door again, not allowing the fog outside to seep into the house, and said against the cold wind: "I'm a little depressed, I don't know if it's because of me that Yuzhuo..."

"Since this has happened, don't worry about it." Rong Changting looked at her and said.

Rongli nodded, and whispered: "Li'er wants to go to the temple to seek safety."

"I'll ask you to come with you, which temple do you want to go to?" Rong Changting asked immediately.

Rong Li raised his eyes, looked at the third wife and said slowly: "Qiu Shou Temple."

In the room, Hua Su heard it clearly, and said coldly, "I have ulterior motives."

She would like to see how far this girl can plot against this group of people in Rong's mansion if she doesn't help her all the time.
