The old demon of Montenegro wants to practice Taoism

For the governor to say it so solemnly, there must be something unusual about the dead man.Wan Tong stopped laughing, Shan Yangze also looked at the Governor, and the Governor said again: "I sent someone to find the doctor of the Chinese medicine shop, the second son of his family has always been in good health, married last year, and there is no hidden disease , I invited the doctor to the house after the Double Ninth Festival, and I read the prescription, and they are all ordinary warming herbs, nothing unusual."

Normally, a dead person would not be treated so solemnly by the governor, but after being with Shanyangze for a long time, and being next door to Yujianzhai, the governor must have thought about the road of ghosts. Boss Ji and his group can play tricks under their noses, and they can't let go of any anomalies or clues.

After hearing this, Shan Yangze stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wantong, and just wanted to say goodbye, but saw Wantong also stood up, and said, "Let's go together." Ordinary cases are in charge of Shuntian Fu Yin, but..." Wantong gave a look that you understand, "This involves royal secrets, and related cases are in charge of Jin Yiwei."

Shan Yangze nodded and said, "I'll go get some talisman paper and other things, and come out right away."

They were talking about taking talisman papers, but in fact they went to the back room called Guo Qian. Although Shan Yangze was confident that he could solve the problem, but with Guo Qian’s way of doing things was more advanced than him, and he was older, Shan Yangze still had to think about some things. It is speculated that he can be seen at a glance. With him, a lot of time can be saved.

But Guo Qian refused, he shook his head and said: "The Commander of Jinyiwei, the one named Wantong, has a very evil spirit on him, I'm still a ghost now, so I don't want to get too close to him."

After hearing this reason, Shan Yangze couldn't say much, but he was conflicted in his heart.On the one hand, he wanted to face him day and night, on the other hand, he felt that there were too many secrets in him, and his purpose was unclear.So he gave a few words of comfort without pain, and then got into the carriage with the Governor and Wantong and left.

In history, although the West Factory existed for a short time, its power was higher than that of the East Factory and Jinyiwei, and it was the same in reality. Wantong abandoned his own carriage and got into the Governor's carriage together.

The car drove out of the Huitong Hall, all the way south, Wantong seemed to be talking a little bit, lifted the curtain and gave Shanyangze advice all the way, where is the land in Beijing expensive, where are your new shops, and the emperor's reward where the house might be.

The governor basically said nothing, frowning as if he was thinking about the hidden danger brought by Boss Ji, but when Wantong talked about the mansion rewarded by the emperor, he said, "It's just a little south of the Huitong Hall, where we lived earlier. Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Shan Yangze listened to Wantong's introduction of various specialties in the capital, and then looked at the governor who didn't talk very much, thinking that Wan talked so much, could it be because the governor is Wan Guifei's confidant?When I went to Beijing with Wantong earlier, I heard him say something about how big sister is not easy when he is drunk sometimes, and he also said that he wanted to fight for his sister. Could it be that he was afraid that the governor would send a message to Concubine Wan Gui?However, Wantong narrates all kinds of allusions so citingly, and it is passed down to say that he studies hard.

Shan Yangze put away his doubts and continued to listen to him talking about various anecdotes.

In this way, time flies by, Shan Yangze is still a little bit unfinished, and Yujianzhai has arrived.Although it has been burned for several days, Boss Ji has no family members left behind, and because the supervisor of the West Factory has specially ordered to pay attention to this house, so except for the [-] charred corpses inside that were removed, the remaining The bottoms are basically kept as they are, so there is still a burnt smell in the air.

Governor was the first to get out of the car, Wantong had a big belly, he didn't know how to go up and down, and said: "Brother Shan, help me." Shan Yangze stretched out his hand, Wantong pulled him up, Taking the opportunity to move her head to his ear, she said in a voice so small that she could barely hear it: "He belongs to the emperor."

Shan Yangze was stunned, and Wantong laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "Could it be that I'm too heavy, my brother can't move?"

Shan Yangze reacted in a hurry, and said with a smile, "This morning's meal is for nothing."

The two got out of the car with a smile, and Shan Yangze saw the back of the governor who had already entered the ruins, thinking that this would be more reasonable.After all, the establishment of the West Factory is for the elixir of life, and the power is so great that it is only responsible to the emperor. If the governor of the West Factory is the confidant of Concubine Wan Gui... how big is the emperor's heart.

Next to the old site of Yujianzhai, there was a circle of no less than 20 Jinyiwei guards. When they met the Governor and Wantong, they saluted respectfully. However, Shan Yangze was born, but he was able to follow the Governor and Wantong. The carriage came over, and he was not an ordinary person, so Shanyangze also received a lot of inquiring attention.

Shanyangze and Wantong caught up with the governor, only to hear the governor say: "They have been here for a while to check. According to the burnt traces, there are other traces, Yujianzhai lobby, second floor , and even nothing in the underground secret room has been moved."

Hearing this, Shan Yangze couldn't help but think of what Boss Ji said before he died in Qianling, "With the elixir of life and knowing the entrance of Qianling, it's not a loss at all!"

A few people walked through the ruins of the lobby and arrived at the original courtyard. Governor and Wantong shuddered involuntarily. Shan Yangze looked around and felt heavy yin and resentment. ?”

The governor nodded and said: "The thirty corpses are all placed in the West Factory now. The fire started around midnight, although Yujianzhai was burned completely, but it didn't affect the left and right sides, and the well here The secret was quickly extinguished."

Wantong then added: "This fire was set by someone. Generally, if a fire starts in a house, it's either in the kitchen, or because candles and other things are poured out at night, but no matter what it is, the whole yard will not burn at the same time."

Shan Yangze sensed the grievances of 30 people in the courtyard, and said, "They were burned to death while awake. I don't know what method the attackers used. These people couldn't move, they were burned to death alive."

After finishing speaking, Shan Yangze turned around and left the yard, because the Lord Governor was going to Gaochang Ancient Kingdom with him in a few days, so he told Wan Tongdao: "Clean up everything on the ground, expose it to the sun, and then mix it with a strong rooster. Buried in blood." He pointed to the yard again and said, "I'll give you a few more mansions, bury it around the yard wall, plant peach trees where people died, and wait until the peach trees bloom and bear fruit before people can live in the yard again. "

Wantong was listening and memorizing, and the supervisor asked, "What can you see?"

Shan Yangze said: "It's past the first seven days, the soul can't be brought back."

The Governor sighed slightly disappointed, and said, "Let's go to the next door to have a look."

About three or four feet away is a calligraphy and painting shop, the owner's second son died, and the maid who was called up this morning found her dead on the bed in the study, so it spread.The corpse has just undergone a small funeral, and now it is placed in the study, and it will not be buried until it has been inactive for seven days.

Wan Tong revealed his identity, and the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop forced them to welcome them into the study with the grief in his heart. He wiped his tears, cried twice and suddenly realized, what does Jin Yiwei's visit mean? "My son was murdered!"

Taking advantage of Wantong's understanding of the situation with the shop owner, Shan Yangze went to the incense stick and took the opportunity to take a look into the coffin. He was a young man with a gentle appearance and a medium build, but... Shan Yang Ze called the governor over, and said, "Put the incense sticks first before we talk." Then he whispered in his ear, "See what's wrong with the corpse."

Wantong had already finished talking to the boss over there. The boss had lost his son in middle age and had to walk on crutches. After saying a few words, he felt flustered and short of breath. He hired the housekeeper to accompany them from a distance, and then went back to his room to lie down went.

After the governor finished offering incense, he changed to Wantong, and now all three of them saw it.After winking at each other, several people gathered together, Wan Tongdao: "Did he die last night? It doesn't look like it. I brought my assistant and asked him to come in and take a look."

Wu Zuo came in to take a look, and said, "This man has signs of rot on his body. According to the current temperature, he has been dead for at least three days." After finishing speaking, he quietly retreated out again.

The three of Shanyangze stayed in the small guest room prepared for them by the shop owner, and the governor said: "It's true that he died last night, and besides, someone saw him go out the day before yesterday. I have already sent someone to inquire about this."

Shan Yangze was a little surprised at the governor's high efficiency. He thought for a while and said, "If he died last night, but the body looked like this again, it might be because he was sucked in Yang Qi."

The governor was a little excited, and said: "Is it the wronged souls next door? They were burned alive, and it is understandable that they became ghosts. If there were ghosts, wouldn't they be able to know the whereabouts of the black hands next door!"

Shan Yangze shook his head, and said: "Generally speaking, ghosts cannot absorb Yang Qi, unless they are successful in cultivation and can turn Yang Qi into essence, otherwise ghosts will seek death if they suck Yang Qi." Shan Yangze said again Added a sentence: "Those who can absorb yang energy are generally monsters."

But if there are monsters in this house, maybe they can ask something.Thinking of this, Wantong immediately called his men and went to question the young master's housemates one by one.

In the young master's room, apart from his wife who was married only last year, there are four maidservants, two were assigned by the family, and two were brought by the second young lady.The four people asked all over again, and they all said that they didn't share the same room with the young master last night, and each of them had witnesses. Shan Yangze also went to see the four people, secretly cast a spell, shook his head at the governor, and said: "no."

"Then only the second young lady is left." The Governor said, he called the housekeeper to ask, but the housekeeper said with embarrassment: "The young lady is pregnant, and when she heard that the young master died in the morning, she fainted out of breath and took the medicine I haven't woken up yet."

Governor took a look at Shan Yangze and said, "No problem, we just have to take a look from a distance."

The housekeeper was a bit strange, but these people were all high-ranking officials, so he sent someone to arrange it.After a while, he invited the three of them to the West Wing.The window in the bedroom was closed, and the servant girl led the three of them to stand beside the screen, some distance away from the bed.The bed curtain has been lowered by the bed, and it is not thick enough to reveal a figure.The servant girl's face was troubled. Although these people were officials, it was still a little unjustifiable in terms of etiquette to go to the woman's bedroom.Just after waiting for three or five breaths, the servant girl urged them to come out in a low voice.

Not to mention Shanyangze, even the governor felt cold when he came in, how could it be colder in the room than outside, it must be that there is something wrong with the person on the bed!

While turning around, Shan Yangze quietly played a talisman on the bed, and saw the woman on the bed suddenly sat up and said sharply: "I have no grievances or enmities with you, why do you want to spoil my good deeds! "

The servant girl stood there in shock, only to see the woman on the bed lift the curtain and come out, the servant girl said in shock: "Second Young Mistress, why did you become like this!"

The woman's hair was disheveled, her face was gray, and there were black and red scars on her exposed arms, as if she had just been burned.After hearing the servant girl's questioning, the woman snorted and said, "Who is your second young mistress!"

Seeing this, Shan Yangze didn't care much, he hurriedly pushed the servant girl out, closed the door, and said, "You were burned to death in Yujian Zhai, which one are you?"

"Yujianzhai?" A trace of viciousness flashed across the woman's face, and she said, "So that place is called Yujianzhai!" After speaking, she laughed and said, "You guys are late!"

Hearing this, he saw the woman's face flashing red and green again, Shan Yangze said: "Not good!" He hurried forward to grab the woman, but the woman didn't resist or struggle, and was immediately caught. Shan Yangze was caught in her hand, her body fell limp, and she smiled with relief: "It doesn't matter if I die, but I pity my five-year-old child, who died in the sea of ​​fire at a young age. Fortunately, I found this With a pregnant woman, I will disappear as soon as I inhale the yang energy, but my child will be born again." As she spoke, she stroked her stomach, two tears flowed from her eyes, she tilted her head, and there was no movement up.

With the disappearance of the female ghost, the second young lady's face gradually turned red again, Shan Yangze put her back on the bed, before she had time to say anything, the maid who ran out to call someone arrived and knocked on the door.The governor went to open the door, only to see the shop owner standing at the door with an angry expression on his face.

"You guys!" The boss gasped while clutching his chest, and he didn't dare to say anything excessive because of the identities of these people, but he could still get angry when he stared at their eyes.

Seeing this, Shan Yangze became wise in a hurry, and used magic to float the book, which was a book that the second young master often read, and pointed it to the boss: "Your son's soul is still alive, so burn more valuables when he is buried, otherwise it will cause trouble in the future." Seeing the boss crying with the book in his arms and not having time to care about others, the three of them walked out of the painting and calligraphy shop quickly.

The three of them got into the carriage, and Shan Yangze said: "She has spent a lot of trouble, killed a person, disappeared, and let her son who was burned to death occupy the woman's womb, but... at most, she can't live until Five years old."

The atmosphere is a bit depressing.

The Governor said: "According to what the female ghost said, she was hired to replace her, and she also had a five-year-old child. From this point of view, at least one woman escaped, and there was a five-year-old child."

Wan Tongdao: "These people are ruthless and meticulous in their work. If the person who wants to replace him has a five-year-old child, he will not be younger than 20 years old. In this way, the three maids can be ruled out."

The carriage headed west and stopped at the gate of the West Factory.

Knowing that two more people had escaped, the governor hurriedly took them to the morgue without even taking a sip of tea.

Half of this room is built underground, with thick blue brick walls, no windows, only a small door and a hidden ventilation hole under the eaves. As soon as Shan Yangze entered, he felt that the temperature was a bit abnormal. Take a closer look , There are ice basins in the four corners of the room.

Seeing the Governor brought someone in, several people in the room stopped what they were doing, and one of them stepped forward and said, "These people are all about the right age. According to investigations, one of the guys had a broken leg," the man pointed to. One of the charred corpses said: "This one has a broken left leg. Judging from the traces, it must have been injured for at least three to five years, which is consistent with the news from the investigation."

Shan Yangze was a little terrified when he heard that, if he was really burned to death, it's okay, if he found a substitute...how much power is behind them.

Shan Yangze came back to his senses, and heard Wu Zuo say: "...I'm pregnant, more than one month." After speaking, Wu Zuo moved to the next corpse, saying: "This corpse is missing the little finger of the left hand, so it's the right one. .”

"Wait a minute!" Shan Yangze said, standing in front of the female corpse, he said, "Whose corpse is this?"

Wu Zuo glanced at it, and said: "This corpse was moved out of the main hall. According to the jewelry on his body, it should be Boss Ji's official wife."

"More than one month?" Shan Yangze looked at the Governor and asked, "When did Boss Ji leave Beijing?"

The Governor's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "He set off ten days earlier than me, and said he was going to gather people. I will go to Heishan Town from the capital to find you, and then we will go to Chang'an City together..." The Governor thought over and over again. He said, "Boss Ji's regular wife will definitely not be less than two months pregnant!"

"This is not Boss Ji's official wife!"

The governor paced back and forth, and said, "Another person who has been swapped. So far, it is certain that Boss Ji's wife has been swapped, and there is also a five-year-old child who has been swapped, and an older man who is not sure." The governor suddenly He stopped and said, "It's a long night and dreams, we have to go now!"

Although it was already afternoon after a day of tossing around, facing such a pair of powerful opponents who were still hiding in the dark, Shan Yangze was not sure that the news that they were going to Gaochang Kingdom next time could be concealed. Although he has doubts about Guo Qian, if his bones fall into the hands of others, Shan Yangze will definitely not let it go, so he agrees 100% with Governor's proposal.

At present, the three soldiers divided into two groups, Wantong took Jin Yiwei to take over the rest of the work, and the governor took Shan Yangze back to the imperial city along the way.

But within an hour, Du Zhu, Shan Yangze and Guo Qian got into the carriage again and headed west.

"A woman escaped, and she brought a five-year-old child with her." The governor said, "There may also be a certain guy who has been in the dark. Women are more ruthless than men, and older guys are more common." I have a lot of knowledge, I'm afraid it's hard to deal with." After finishing speaking, the governor comforted himself and said: "This trip to Gaochang, there are only three of us who know the inside, plus Your Majesty. When we arrive at the inn in front, we will disguise ourselves and be safe. Don’t let anyone follow you.”

Shan Yangze nodded and said: "Have you ever thought about it, no matter how many escaped from those thirty corpses, five-year-old children need someone to take care of them. Separate one or two subordinates to watch them."

The governor rubbed his forehead and said, "You are right. When you arrive at the post station, you will send a message to let them pay attention to those who take five-year-old children on the road."

Not long after leaving the capital, it was dark, and several people were lying in the carriage. Guo Qian said in Shanyangze's ear: "Just now, I was patronizing to persuade your donkey and dog. In the afternoon, the fan monk who lives next door sent us The monk came over and said he wanted to meet you."

Shan Yangze's impression of Fan Seng had nothing to do with good words, and said: "It's okay, if you forget it, forget it. He can't even speak Mandarin, so it's really hard to communicate."

Guo Qian smiled, as if recalling the scene in the afternoon, and said: "No, I didn't understand what was going on until the monk said it three times."

"Cough cough." The governor coughed twice, Shan Yangze glanced at Guo Qian, feeling ashamed of being caught, closed his eyes immediately, and stopped talking.
