The protagonists have golden fingers

Youyun was originally named Youjing, which was the ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties. It was also the capital of the previous dynasty, and it is still the most prosperous and lively place in the whole world.

Zhao Xiaodao timidly huddled in a corner of the carriage, half terrified and half admiringly looking at Gu Zhuangcheng, who was holding a bowl in one hand and Chen Yan in the other, racking his brains to figure out how to coax people to drink the medicine. I don't have the slightest thought to give it to someone.

Shen Yan frowned, pursed her lips but did not open her mouth, her eyes were as red as rabbits, as if someone had bullied him.

Gu Zhuangcheng couldn't laugh or cry seeing him, but Su Xiaoqin urged him to drink this medicine while watching Shen Yan.

Therefore, no matter how distressed he was, Gu Zhuangcheng had no choice but to harden his heart, and whispered a few words in Shen Yan's ear.

Afterwards, Zhao Xiaodao saw that Pavilion Master Shen's eyes became even redder. He glared fiercely at the innocent Gu Zhuangcheng, grabbed the bowl, and poured down the dark brown medicinal soup in two mouthfuls. The face was wrinkled into eighteen folds.

Gu Zhuangcheng quickly stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth, so that the man didn't spit it out in the car.

He touched Shen Yan's hair with a smile, and jokingly said, "It's like killing someone to make you drink medicine, why are you so delicate?"

Shen Yan didn't want to speak, and didn't even have the energy to roll her eyes.He sucked sugar sleepily, not very happy.

That's right, if someone else was forced to drink a lot of bitter medicine, he wouldn't be particularly happy.

Zhao Xiaodao was attracted by the actions of these two people, he was angry and scared at the same time.Finally, after the carriage stopped, he couldn't wait to lift the curtain and rushed out: "It's here!"

Gu Zhuangcheng was a little confused, looked at Zhao Xiaodao's back in confusion, and reached out to help the sluggish Pavilion Master Shen: "Do I look scary? Why did he follow the cat when he saw me all the way?" Like a mouse?"

Hearing this, Shen Yan glanced at him, nodded seriously, and agreed with his evaluation very much: "Yes."

Gu Zhuangcheng: ...

"What do you mean by 'um'?He wasn't afraid of me before, did he? "

Gu Zhuangcheng was unhappy, "He avoided me after seeing you, could it be that you scared him?"

Shen Yan sneered, obviously not planning to take the blame.

Gu Zhuangcheng also laughed.He raised his hand, gently rubbed Pavilion Master Shen's cheek, and said in a low voice: "Your face has been dark all the way, and you are finally willing to laugh?" Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he continued, "Okay, let's go in quickly, Zhao Xiaodao can't wait."

After all, he didn't let go of his hand, and the two chased after him.By the time Shen Yan noticed something was wrong, they had already entered the door and took their seats.

In the presence of a large crowd, Shen Yan couldn't be serious with Gu Zhuang in front of outsiders, so she had to give him another look, put this matter behind her for the time being, and concentrate on listening to Sect Master Zhao's grievances.

The head of Zhao is Zhao Xiaodao's uncle, the two people look very similar, especially the eyes and ears, they are both small eyes and protruding ears, which looks a little funny.

It's just that the head of Zhao is quite majestic. The first time ordinary people see him, they will only sigh his coercion and ability, but they don't pay much attention to his face.

It's just that the head of the sect is now crying and his voice is low, obviously he has suffered a great crime.

Zhao Xiaodao had already explained the ins and outs of the matter in great detail on the way, so head Zhao didn't waste too much nonsense, and after a few words of greeting, he got to the point.

It turned out that after Zhao Xiaodao left, the family lived in peace for two days.Just when everyone thought the matter had been resolved, something happened in the third lady's room.

What happened was a dowry maid named Qing Ying, a rare cultivator of immortals, with one hand and two whips, she was able to create a strong wind, and she fought against the head of Zhao, and she did not lose the wind within [-] moves.Logically speaking, she was the safest one, but she was the first to have an accident.

Qingying usually does boxing exercises in the yard in the morning, but that morning, the sun was high and no one saw her.

The third lady didn't take it seriously at first, she just thought that she was suddenly busy with something, so she didn't take it to heart.

But at night, there was still no one, and the third lady became worried, and hurriedly sent someone to look for her, and finally found her body in Qingying's room.

Qingying was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, her eyes were wide open, her eyeballs almost protruding from their sockets, her mouth was slightly opened, half of her tongue was sticking out, her two hands were pinched around her neck, at first glance it looked like she had accidentally pulled her strangled himself.

But when people lifted the quilt, they found that she had been cut in half, and her lower body was missing!What was even more surprising was that there was no blood on the bed at all!

The third lady was overly frightened and fainted, and Qingying's room was temporarily sealed because of this, until now no one dared to go there.

Because of this, the whole family's hearts were fluctuating, for fear that they would be the next to suffer.Because of this incident, the third wife was also hit hard, and rumors began to appear among the servants.

After hearing these words, Gu Zhuangcheng scratched his cheeks, lowered his head in thought for a moment, and then asked: "Can I go and see Miss Qingying's room?"

"Yes." Head Zhao nodded, seeing that Zhao Xiaodao was about to speak, he immediately interrupted, "Get lost and practice the saber, don't run around!"

Zhao Xiaodao languished at a speed visible to the naked eye, and reluctantly responded: "Oh..."

Gu Zhuangcheng suppressed a smile, and under Young Master Zhao's envious and jealous eyes, he pulled Pavilion Master Shen, followed Master Zhao, and strolled towards Qingying's room.

Zhao Xiaodao rolled his eyes, intending to follow quietly.Unexpectedly, the butler at the side quickly blocked his way.

The butler looks like a young man in his thirties, but in fact he is over a hundred years old, and he is a real gentleman!

The steward looked at his young master with a smile, and said kindly: "Young master, the master asked you to practice swords, so you better not disobey him."

Zhao Xiaodao thought of his uncle's stern face, and remembered that he was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days when he was disobedient.

-

On the way, Master Zhao said with an embarrassed smile: "I'm sorry, I made you two laugh. My big nephew... Hey, don't worry about it!"

Gu Zhuangcheng said with a smile: "Hey, why bother Mr. Zhao? Xiaodao is kind-hearted, auspicious, and blessed by God. Mr. Zhao should not be too strict!"

Head Zhao shook his head, unwilling to mention more.He took a few steps and led the people to a quiet courtyard: "This is Qingying's room."

"What about the courtyard of the third lady?"

"There, it's not very far away. Qingying was supposed to live with her younger siblings, but she made too much noise when she practiced the whip. There was no choice but to build another yard nearby for her." Master Zhao pointed to the place not far away. .

Gu Zhuangcheng nodded: "Then, can we go in and have a look?"

"Yes. Please, both of you." Head Zhao's face turned pale, apparently recalling the scene he saw a few days ago.He took a deep breath, took out the key to open the courtyard door, and was the first to go in.

As head Zhao said, Qingying's room is very clean and the items are neatly placed, so the room looks a bit empty.

Qingying's body was not carried away, but remained on the bed.I don't know what method Zhao's family used to make the corpse as fresh as ever.

Master Zhao took a step forward, and gently opened Qingying's mouth, revealing a bead: "I was afraid I might use Qingying's body, so I didn't dare to move it, and someone put a red bead in her mouth."

The name of Hongyanzhu sounds very nice, but its purpose is to keep the corpse from decaying.

For such a precious thing to be used on a dowry maid, it seems that Qingying's identity must be more than just a maid.

Gu Zhuangcheng rubbed his nose, took a step forward, and lifted the quilt covering Qingying's body.

Sure enough, the lower body was gone, but the bed was clean without a trace of blood.

However, when he moved closer, Qingying's body didn't seem to be cut off by someone with a knife, the wound was uneven and uneven, it looked like it was pulled off by something.

He frowned, and couldn't think of anything for a moment. Just as he was about to get up and say something, someone bumped his back suddenly. He just heard the word "be careful", and he felt a pain in the back of his neck, his eyes darkened, and he fainted past.

-

Head Zhao sneered and withdrew his hand, staring at the two unconscious people lying on the ground, as if looking at two dead people.

Zhao Xiaodao came in from the door and said with a smile: "Uncle, everything is done?"

Head Zhao smiled and said: "Your uncle makes a move, are you still not at ease?"

Zhao Xiaodao hurriedly said with a doggy smile: "How could it be? Aren't I worried that these two people are too treacherous and cunning to hurt uncle?"

"Hmph, but two youngsters, I still think I have some great skills, aren't I also being played around by our father and mother?"

Master Zhao sneered, "Okay, Xiaodao, the girl from last time, I will trouble you."

"Yes!" Zhao Xiaodao replied with a smile, turned and left impatiently.

Master Zhao stroked the beard on his lips and sneered again.He clapped his hands, and soon several people walked in from the door, they lifted the two people on the ground silently, and followed behind the head of Zhao.

Head Zhao went to the corner and turned a vase there. The wall in front of him made a rumbling sound and began to move slowly to the sides.

After a while, the wall parted, revealing a bronze door behind it.Open the door, and there is a secret room behind, in which there are a few beds, a few tables, and a few lamps and candles mercifully placed in it-but there is no window for ventilation.

There are several bones in the corner of the secret room, one of them is holding a shovel in his hand, and it seems that he is planning to dig a tunnel to escape.But he failed to escape, but still died here.

Head Zhao turned a blind eye, ordered people to put them on the bed, and locked the door again.

He stood outside with a chuckle: "I'm sorry, but the old man is also entrusted by others, and it's a matter of loyalty. To blame, I can only blame you for being too careless and trusting others too easily!"
