Chapter 269: The Mansion of the Underworld
After breakfast, I wandered through the garden. Sure enough, it is a rich family, and the autumn flowers all over the country are blooming beautifully, and the fragrance is overflowing. Looking at these delicate and beautiful flowers, I never could relax. The entire Zhenguo Mansion seems to be filled with a strange atmosphere. It's that kind of atmosphere that makes me feel oppressive.
Suddenly, I heard a not-so-upright laugh coming through, and saw General Cai hugging each other. Depend on! Do you use this momentum? This is still in the garden of his own house, and if it falls outside, I don't know how big a pomp he will be.
"Night boy, did you still sleep last night?" His tone was full of hypocrisy.
"It's ok. The bed is so big that it can't fall off no matter how much it turns over. I replied nonchalantly.
"Hahaha." Cai Yuanqin laughed, "Then do you want the old man to find a few maids to press the bedside of the son to fill the vacancy?" ”
"Good intentions." I was sweating. This kind of thing is just to think about. I haven't touched a woman since I took that damn youkai servant. It's not that I have a habit of breaking my sleeves, nor is it that I have a psychological shadow. It's the snow ying, the female creature hugging me, she has to fight with others, let alone 'that' and 'that'. I'm afraid she will change the entire Tang Dynasty regime at once.
And Aomine's explanation of this is very concise and clear: "My sister has a father-lover complex. ”
After a long time, how could I have something to do with their ugly dad when I'm so handsome?
Putting aside the cranky thoughts, Cai Yuanqin's old fox and I exchanged a few words of cold words, and then we couldn't find anything to talk about. In the midst of his embarrassment, a guard ran over with a panicked face and whispered in his ear.
His face changed immediately, his eyebrows lingered with anger and worry, and he said to me, "There was a little accident at home, and the old man is no longer with his son." Please see the quantity. ”
Without waiting for me to return the salute, he strode away. But after only walking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Forget it, I'm not afraid of the ugliness of my family now." I've often heard that you hunters are innumerable, and perhaps the Night Boy will be a little more experienced in this kind of thing. ”
Old fox, I'm afraid it's not safe to leave me here, or take a little insurance with you. I was secretly wary in my heart. This old fellow isn't going to kill me after healing his daughter. Judging from the horrific rumors circulating from the outside and the evaluation and analysis of him by the hunter community, this is indeed very likely. Alas, this time the transaction is really going to be a big loss.
"Wang Cheng, you explain the recent events to Yegongzi." Cai Yuanqin commanded. A young man who looked like a butler bowed to him and whispered to me as he walked.
"Night Boy, the nearest Zhenguo Mansion is not peaceful." The opening statement is very direct, it seems that this person does not like to talk superfluous nonsense, "Within ten days, 3 grandmothers have died in the back room in a row." ”
The so-called grandmother is Cai Yuanqin's concubine. It is said that his main house has been empty for sixteen years. But there are dozens of concubines, and it is not enough to break their fingers. Generally speaking, all the wealthy families, the competition for the back room is the most tragic, intriguing, bright and dark, and all insidious tricks are used. The political struggle is not far behind.
It has been said that men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men. Who doesn't want to have the most influence in their own manhood? Especially when that man still has a lot of power. In such a situation, the hanging position of the main room will naturally make Cai Yuanqin's wife and concubine desperately fight for it.
Even at the expense of killing.
The housekeeper seemed to see my thoughts, "The sixth grandmother, the fourth grandmother and the thirteenth grandmother should not be the hands of people in the town and state mansion." Each grandmother in the back room had alibi and physical evidence. ”
I was noncommittal, and asked, "In that case, is it possible that someone died again this morning?" ”
"Yes, Childe is amazing." The butler's face was full of admiration. This guy doesn't look very good at him, but his kung fu is first-class. It seems that Cai Yuanqin is also the master who likes this set.
"Early this morning, the maid of the third grandmother told her to get up and recite the morning Buddha as usual, and found her dead in bed."
"What about the time of death?" I asked.
"To make a judgment, it should be the time of the third watch." He answered fluently.
This town and state government is really not simple, and there are even private servants. I frowned, "Where are we going now?" ”
"I'm going to the yard of the third grandmother." Wang Cheng sighed, "The third grandmother is usually very good, and she is also polite to her subordinates. Whoever provokes the master, she will desperately plead. He also saved the lives of many people. Everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion respects her very much, I really don't know who such a kind person will be jealous of, and she actually ......"
I interrupted him, "Since the Zhenguo Mansion has already killed four people, and everyone is in the back room. It also means that he has a specific purpose. ”
As for what the purpose is, everyone knows it. Wang Cheng smiled bitterly, "The master is very angry, but he has never been able to find evidence." Some people say that the whole mansion is unlucky, and I am afraid that it is haunted. has made people panic recently, and some of them even have plans to leave. ”
Haunted? I stayed here last night, but I didn't feel any demonic in the slightest. It should be a man's fault. Some people, for their own selfish desires, even ghosts are more terrifying!
The third grandmother's residence was a small courtyard with three rooms and a Buddhist hall. In front of the Buddha hall is a small garden with pure white flowers. According to the girl, she got up very early every day, and then chanted the Buddha and prayed for the master. In order to resolve the evil spirit caused by Cai Yuanqin's early years of killing too much.
Although Cai Yuanqin said that he was right, he was still secretly moved in his heart and met most of her requirements. In recent years, there has been a faint possibility of becoming a main room.
There were a lot of people in the courtyard, but it was quiet. Cai Yuanqin didn't look at the maids and guards who knelt on the ground, and walked straight into the room. Across the peach house was the bedroom, which he was familiar with, although this place had not been to for a long time.
The third grandmother lay quietly on the bed, covered from head to toe with white silk.
"Is the cause of death the same as the previous three?" He asked coldly to the kneeling man. The man was sweating profusely, and his whole body trembled with fright, "Tell the master, it's exactly the same." The cause of death of the third grandmother was that she was pierced into the heart by a hard and slender object, and she died instantly. ”
His face was gloomy, and he pulled down the silk that covered the corpse before leaving. The body of the third grandmother was naked. All the subordinates immediately turned their heads. I was left to take a closer look.
