feeding spirit

"Hey, have you heard?" one whispered.

"What?" Another person probed.

"That Jiang Mansion, it's dead again!" the man drew the end.

In the land of the Central Plains, there lived a strange man, his family was rich, he had many wives and concubines, but he had no son.

Say he has a habit of breaking sleeves?But he has experienced many battles and swims among the flowers.Said that his wives and concubines can't bear children?He released a concubine's room, and that concubine's room had children with him...

At the same time, every three months, there will be a murder case in his house.

Please go to the government, Taoist priests, etc., but the search is fruitless.

And a few days ago, someone from the Jiang family died again.

This time, that strange man—Jiang Meng.

He spent a lot of money to invite a direct disciple of the well-known head of the Si Lin faction in Jianghu to resolve the matter.

"Who died this time?"

"This time, it's Jiang Meng's most favored concubine. Look, no, he invited Dapai this time."

"However, he is a real person. Half of his body has been buried in the yellow sand. He doesn't seem to be in a hurry about childlessness. In my opinion, if it weren't for the frequent deaths of people in his house for no reason, he would not I will invite the sect."

"I've heard people say that it's because he has too many romantic debts, and because of retribution, he is childless and dead."

"You're talking about his first wife, right? He killed her with his own hands. It seems that she doesn't obey women's morals."

"Who knows the truth of this matter? Heaven knows, the earth knows, others know, but we don't." Speaking of this, the man laughed.

And not far away from them, two fair-clothed men quietly drinking tea.

"What do you think?" Tu Yu asked, taking a sip of his tea.

"How else can you see it? Go to Jiang's Mansion to see it." Gong Liangyi, who was facing him with a loose style, said haha.

Tu Yu has long been used to it, and said, "Have you finished drinking?"

Get out after drinking.

"You go first, I'll go later." Gong Liangyi naturally knew what he was thinking.

"Then don't get lost this time." Tu Yu said quietly.

He couldn't forget the last time Gong Liangyi took him to roll into the brothel, and he disappeared without a trace, causing him to almost hang in the flames.

"Ha! Bao Zhun, it won't be off the mark." Gong Liangyi promised with a smile.

So, Tu Yu left first.

Ginger House.

The two sons who got out of the inn entered Jiang's residence.The entire mansion was gloomy, and everyone with sullen faces hurried past the two of them.

On the promenade, quarrels sounded.

"What are you arrogant about? You will be the next one, and you will be the one who will die." A young woman pointed at a lady in front of her and cursed.

"Are you afraid? It's right to be afraid." The young woman laughed to herself.

"You are afraid." The lady said lightly.

"Bloody mouth, how many people have you killed, tell me?" the young woman pointed at the lady's nose.

Seeing that the lady didn't answer, she said again: "You will die badly, you will commit crimes for you..."

Before the young woman finished speaking, she was interrupted by a middle-aged man who hurried over.

The man said sharply: "Shut up, Xiao Luo, come, who let her out?"

"Master, Mrs. Luo ran out by herself." A servant said.

Jiang Meng's expression was a little irritable, and he said impatiently: "Trash, you can't even look down on a weak woman, what use are you for? Don't hurry up and catch her!"

Several servants quickly responded and carried Xiao Luo away hurriedly.

Xiao Luo struggled and shouted: "Jiang Meng, you are blind, the murderer is right in front of your eyes, Zhang Ningning, you will die badly."

Her voice gradually disappeared in everyone's ears.

Tu Yu and Gong Liangyi looked at each other.

The two make eye contact...

"You two are laughing. This is Jiang's concubine's room. Because the concubine fell seriously ill, she wandered around the underworld. As a result, her brain is not working well and she likes to talk nonsense. Alas, a good person Just ruin it like that." Jiang Meng saluted the two of them.

"It's really a pity for this beautiful woman, Mr. Jiang, don't be sorry." Gong Liangyi replied politely.

Tu Yu can hear it, what he actually wants to say is: Anyway, you have a lot of beautiful young wives, without this one, I don't see how sad you are!With a shiny face, it's the girl who should be sad, okay?

"My surname is Gongliang and my name is Yi. This is my younger brother——Tu Yu, here to help me." Gong Liangyi said.

"Master Jiang." Tu Yu said with a smile.

Jiang Meng is the current prime minister of this country.

"Daoist Gongliang, Daoist Tu." Jiang Meng cupped his hands.

He called his servants, ordered tea to be made, and smiled professionally at the two of them, "Two priests, this way please."

"Master Jiang, who is this?" Tu Yu's eyes wandered to the lady.

The Zhang Ningning that Xiao Luo said should be this noble lady, but Jiang Meng regarded her as nothing, an existence like air, Zhang Ningning also kept silent since Jiang Meng appeared.

"Oh, this is Jiang's wife." Jiang Meng said nonchalantly, as if mentioning someone who didn't matter.

Tu Yu smiled and said: "So it's Mrs. Ling, and I'm looking at Mrs.'s complexion with a shadowy look."

Jiang Meng kept silent.

"Daoist, is there a way to treat it?" Zhang Ningning's plain face was finally moved.

"Naturally." Tu Yu smiled inscrutably, handed Zhang Ningning a piece of talisman paper, and said, "This is an exorcism talisman I drew myself. It's actually useless, it's just to keep ghosts from approaching Madam."

He deliberately said "just" so indifferently, as if it was an ordinary talisman to him.But for ordinary people, it is a rare treasure. You must know that this kind of talisman paper is not very rare.

This time, I was so excited that I quickly thanked him.

Gong Liangyi turned his face away, he didn't want to see Tu Yu's glib face, it would be embarrassing.

Following Jiang Meng, the two came to the hall and talked about business.

According to Jiang Meng, four people had died in the house, and the concubine's room a few days ago was the fifth.

"At the beginning, it was an old woman in the house who died. The old man who watched the back door said that she knocked on the back door in the middle of the night. After coming in from the outside, she didn't say a word. People just talked.

After a few days, the old woman kicked her legs and went away.An old lady naturally didn't pay much attention to it. Everyone thought she was old. At that time, the old lady had no relatives or reasons, so I asked my servants to take care of her funeral. "

Speaking of this, Jiang Meng took a sip of water, sighed, and continued: "It turns out that dead people happen every day, so there is nothing strange about it."

"Indeed, Lord Jiang, let's continue." Gong Liangyi said.

"Three months later, my nephew drowned in the pool in the backyard. He was only ten years old, and he was not the kind of rambunctious child. Playing, slipping and falling into the water, this matter will be over."

"After another three months, my hidden guard died. Only then did I realize that something was wrong. Logically speaking, he was not stupid, and his force was not low, so he just fell to his death. He fell on the door of my room. At the threshold, I invited a foreman, and all signs were found that he fell to his head and died."

"Fall to death? This is the first time I've heard that a killer threw himself to death." Tu Yu frowned, showing that Jiang Meng had no intention of hiding, and even his hidden guards had spoken out.

"Yeah, I just don't believe it! But that's the evidence presented." Jiang Meng sighed.

"The fourth one?" Gong Liangyi signaled him to continue talking.

Jiang Meng understood, and continued: "After my hidden guard fell to his death, within nine months, three people died in my house. I started to pay attention to this matter, and found an obvious rule, that is, every three One person died in Yuehui, and at that time I was thinking, since the operation cannot be found out, could it be something evil."

Tu Yu laughed and said, "Master Jiang also believes in ghosts."

"It's better to believe it. There are gods in the sky, and there are ghosts in the underground. Besides, there is a human world between the upper and lower." Jiang Meng shook his head and smiled.

"Soon, the fourth person is a maidservant. She was hanged. This time, I invited a Taoist priest. Who knows that Taoist priest is a half-assed person. I blame Jiang for his ignorance, so he didn't solve this matter in the end. .”

"This time, Master Jiang's?" Gong Liangyi didn't follow what he heard from the inn, but waited for Jiang Meng to speak for himself.

"This time it's Jiang's concubine's room." Jiang Meng put down the teacup in his hand and said.

The answer they got was the same as what they heard.

"How to die?" Gong Liang asked.

Jiang Meng's face was a little ugly, and he said: "During the bath, it died... When I found it, it had already soaked and rotted, and it rotted in just half an hour."

"Then how did the little Mrs. Luo become so ill?" Tu Yu said.

"She is the master of the hanged maidservant. The maidservant hanged her bedside. After that, Xiao Luo got a serious illness. It took a lot of effort to pull her back from the gate of hell."

"But people are not sober, they are crazy all day long, pointing at anyone they see is a murderer." Jiang Meng sighed helplessly again, rubbing his aching temple.

Tu Yu said meaningfully: "Mrs. Ling is quite calm."

"Well, where did the Taoist priest start?" Jiang Meng didn't hide his indifferent attitude towards Zhang Ningning.

"What a straightforward person." Tu Yu couldn't help thinking.

According to what Jiang Meng said, there are no clues to be found when these murders are strung together, and they are still in a mess.If it weren't for this cloudy atmosphere, Tu Yu would have suspected that it was a trivial matter, or he might have been assassinated.

He was also embarrassed to ask why he had such a bad relationship with Zhang Ningning. He wanted to ask about Zhang Ningning, but it seemed that Jiang Meng hated her so much that he didn't mention it if he could.

"The place where the last deceased died." Tu Yu raised his head and stared at Jiang Mengdao.

After a while, everyone came to the bathtub where the concubine's room drowned.

The maid who led the way and opened the door lowered her head in fear, with an unconcealable panic on her face.

She was afraid, she would be the next to die, but she couldn't leave Jiang's mansion, of course, she wasn't afraid alone, most of the people in the mansion wanted to escape here, and they didn't want to be the next one.

"Is this girl going down first?" Gong Liangyi looked at the maidservant's face, he really couldn't bear to see a little girl frightened like this in front of him, so she pretended to be doing something, and the idlers couldn't get close cold look.

"Yes." The servant girl responded obediently, not forgetting to take a look at Jiang Meng, seeing his acquiescence, she hurriedly retreated.

After going out, she looked like she had survived the catastrophe. If she could leave Jiang's mansion, it would be like crawling out of the gate of hell for them.

Right now, there are only three of them left in the house.

Tu Yu slowly squatted in front of the tub, looking left and right into the tub.

This reminded Gong Liangyi of a scene... a seemingly honest gentleman was revealing his wretched nature, greedily sniffing the bathtub with the scent of a girl.

Gong Liangyi: I'm sorry, I thought wrong.

After cutting off this thought, someone took him to the room where the old lady died, and left it to Tu Yu to deal with.

Jiang Meng didn't express his position on Tu Yu's actions. As long as the matter can be resolved, for him, it doesn't hurt the heavens and the reason, whatever is fine.

Tu Yu, who was observing here, ignored what the other two were thinking, but now he was the only one left in the room, and Gong Liangyi and Jiang Meng went to the place where the first deceased died.

Just now he looked inside the tub and found a bloody handprint inside, very faint and inconspicuous, unless one looked carefully, one would not be able to see it.The bloody handprint is a bit darker, it should be left by the murderous ghost.

"Could it be that the ghost crawled out of the tub? Then it inadvertently left a handprint in the tub. That girl must have been frightened to death, but she didn't scream. She must have been tricked by the ghost." Tu Yu guessed.

He got up and looked around the room. Finally, when he came out of the room, he found nothing except a faint bloody palm print.

Looking at the sky, it is already night.

The entire Jiang Mansion was immersed in darkness, and the yin was obviously more serious than during the day. The wind blew past, and it was cold and biting. The whole army will go out.

It's true that when people are unlucky, drinking cold water will get stuck between their teeth.

"Huh", a gust of dark wind blew across the long corridor where Tu Yu was, and suddenly his eyes went dark.

"I'm not blind..." Tu Yu looked around in the pitch blackness, he couldn't see anything, even with his toes, he knew the candle was extinguished.
