As the prefect of Jiangnan Mansion, Wang Lu has always lived a very nourishing life. But since the embezzlement case a few days ago, he has begun to worry about how long he will live.

Wang Lu is not a timid person, otherwise he would not have done so many things ruthlessly, and used this as a bargaining chip to take refuge in King Beixian. Thinking of King Beixian's reply a few days ago, Wang Lu's eyes were full of gloom.

It's not that he can't see King Beixian's plan, or he just wants to push him out as a substitute for the dead ghost. Wang Lu took out an iron box from the secret door behind the bookshelf, and took out a nameless account book from the iron box, which was the target of Xiao Qiao and Hu Li.

Wang Lu put the account book in his hands and opened the door of the study.

"My lord, do you want to go back and rest?" The little guy at the door lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, and asked respectfully with a lantern.

"Well, let's go back."

On the roof of the study of the prefect's mansion, Xiao Qiao and Hu Li squatted on it, watching Wang Lu and the little maids beside him walk on the garden path one after the other.

"Brother Xiao, let's go, let's go and have a look." Hu Li excitedly pointed in the direction of Wang Lu, who needed to pass through the garden when he returned from the study in the front yard to the main house in the backyard on weekdays.

During the day, the garden is beautifully built by the gardeners, but at night it is a little eerie. In particular, there is a lantern hanging on the four corners of the garden, and a little bit of light hits, and the beautiful scene in the garden during the day suddenly has the meaning of a group of demons dancing wildly.

Xiao Qiao and Hu Li tapped their toes and quickly approached the garden.

"Brother Xiao, you stand here and watch, I'll scare him." Hu Li and Xiao Qiao stopped on the roof not far from the garden, although Xiao Qiao had been practicing martial arts for some days, he still couldn't compare with Hu Li, so he nodded, "Be careful." ”

"It's okay, look at me." Hu Li smiled, waved his hand, and let Xiao Qiao wait on the roof, and he glided to the corner of the garden like a big bird.

Hu Li put the hood on his cloak and slightly mobilized his spiritual power, fluttering among the flowers in the garden, making a sound from the shadows of the flowers and trees.

"Who?!" The little maid took the lantern and shone it on the place where the sound came from, but saw nothing.

Wang Lu frowned, which ignorant subordinate was hanging out in this garden at night, "When did the mansion become so unruly, what are you doing sneakily in the garden at night?" ”

Hu Li stood behind a tree, bared his teeth and smiled, turned his back to Wang Lu and began to move slowly, and at the same time used the method of sound transmission into the secret, deliberately turning the sound into an ethereal but with a hint of gloomy feeling and called Wang Lu.

"Sister-husband-sister-husband-"

Wang Lu's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked in the direction of Hu Li as if he had sensed it, only to see a black shadow floating by. The dark shadow finally looked back slightly, a grim smile on its face.

"Ahh

Wang Lu was so frightened that his spine was cold, and he blurted out with an exclamation. The little guy next to him was so frightened that he hurriedly ran over with a lantern, "My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wang Lu stared at his eyes, the sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose was pouring out layer by layer, and when he heard the voice of the little man, the whole person was excited, "Quick, go to that tree and see who is pretending to be a ghost there!" ”

"Yes, yes." The little guy hurriedly ran over with the lantern, but there was nothing. The little servant glanced at the ground, the gardener had just watered it today, and the ground was still a little wet, and if there were people, there should be footprints on the ground, but there was nothing.

"My lord, no one." The little servant walked back quickly, "There is no trace, my lord." ”

Wang Lu shivered instantly, and the cold sweat on his body was blown by the night breeze, and the whole person was cold, "Forget it, go back." After speaking, Wang Lu hurried to the main house.

Hu Li, who had returned to the roof, smiled silently, leaned into Xiao Qiao's ear and whispered: "Brother Xiao, you see how scared he looks." I finally let him see me, hehehehe......"

Listening to Hu Li's laughter, Xiao Qiao smiled helplessly, "Well done." ”

Hu Li smiled even more happily, "Let's go, let's continue to follow him, and scare him again in a while." I saw that he was quite timid, and he must have done a lot of bad things......"

Xiao Qiao originally wanted to find the account book, but he was so troubled by Hu Li, and finally connived at Hu Li to run to Wang Lu.

Hu Li was lying on the roof, looking at Wang Lu, who was pale with fright in the room, and was about to go down again.

Xiao Qiao grabbed him helplessly and whispered, "Wait, remember to put out the candle first when you go in later." ”

"I know, Brother Xiao, you come too."

Xiao Qiao let Hu Li drag him off the roof, looking at Hu Li's happy appearance, he could only helplessly indulge him. In his previous life and in this life, he has never been lying on the roof and pretending to be a ghost to scare people, and following Hu Li really has to experience a lot of things that he didn't have in his previous life.

Wang Lu was apprehensive about what he had encountered in the garden tonight, and he was absolutely right, that figure was his wife's younger brother. But he was killed by himself a few years ago, how could he be in the garden!

Don't......?

No, no, no, it's all about scaring yourself, how can a dead person come out again? Is it possible to become a ghost and ask for your life? Heh-heh-heh-hea-

However, the sudden sound made Wang Lu completely stunned, and he looked at the window tremblingly, where a figure was standing in the air looking at him.

"Brother-in-law-"

"Ahh Why do you ......" Wang Lu stepped back a few steps, and the cold sweat on his body almost soaked his clothes.

Hu Li shook his wide sleeves, and a cool wind blew through the aura, extinguishing all the candles in the room. Hu Li floated in through the window and looked condescendingly at Wang Lu, who was sitting on the ground in fright.

Xiao Qiao, who was standing outside the window, almost laughed out loud, he didn't expect Hu Li to have a talent for pretending to be a ghost, look at the sound and the cool breeze that was deliberately fanned just now. Even if it was him, if he didn't know it, I'm afraid he would have to be frightened.

Xiao Qiao was dressed in black and stood at the window looking at the situation in the room, Hu Li had already floated diagonally in front of Wang Lu, looking at him gloomily, "Brother-in-law, it's time for you to pay for your life." The days of the underworld are waiting for you to enjoy! ”

Wang Lu collapsed on the ground, cold sweat running across his eyes, making his eyes sour and unable to see the person in front of him. But he still remembered the cool eyes of his wife and brother, and now in addition to blood, it was hatred.

"Xiao ...... Xiao Ran, I can't blame what happened back then, but ...... But now I regret it, really...... I really regret it! Wang Lu eagerly defended, thinking of the letter of King Beixian a few days ago, his heart felt as heavy as being buried in a boulder. Wang Lu suddenly gave up, his voice was full of depression, "Xiao Ran, brother-in-law, I won't live long, King Beixian has already decided to abandon his pawn and protect the car." ”

Hu Li's eyes rolled, and he was obviously happy in his heart, but he still looked at Wang Lu with a tense face and looked at Wang Lu, who obviously seemed to have given up resistance, "Brother-in-law, I'm waiting for you below-"

Wang Lu shuddered and looked up at Hu Li, who quickly moved his face into the shadows, "Xiao Ran, it won't be long before I will take my family to accompany you." It's just going to hurt your sister, she has missed you all these years, you ......"

"You still have the face to say my sister!" Hu Li's long sleeves flicked suddenly, and the teacups and candlesticks on the table crackled and fell to the ground, "You don't have to take my sister with you if you die...... I'm going to strangle you right now......"

Wang Lu hurriedly raised his hand to block Hu Li's outstretched hand, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Ran, you wait." Since you have become a ghost, find a way to help me, as long as I escape this catastrophe and send your sister out, I will accompany you myself, how about it? When the time comes, you can do whatever you want to me! ”

"Hahaha...... You threaten me......" Hu Li said, his face sank instantly, and his pale face became even more unpopular, "Wang Lu, I will never let you go, I will let you live in fear for the rest of your life, forever in fear that you will be killed by me at any time." ”

Wang Lu's pupils shrank instantly, although some of his expressions were true before, he was indeed scared almost weak at first, but then he did want Xiao Ran to let him go, but now it seems to be self-defeating!

Wang Lu looked at the hair that didn't know when to disperse, the white clothes and black hair, the miserable white face and bloody eyes, Wang Lu was really scared, and his lips trembled, "Xiao Ran, are you ignoring your sister?" ”

Hu Li turned around, and his black hair was blown by the wind and hit Wang Lu's face. Wang Lu felt that there was an unspeakable ** and bloody smell in his hair, and he seemed to see Xiao Ran's resentful eyes looking at him before he died.

"No, Xiao Ran...... You help me, help me. Wang Lu suddenly got up from the ground and grabbed Hu Li's hand, but Hu Li dodged him lightly. Looking at Hu Li, whose feet were far away from the ground, Wang Lu froze in place.

Wang Lu thought that he wouldn't live long anyway, and he knew that even if he wanted to leave Jiangnan, King Beixian would let him disappear quietly. Thinking of his current situation, a trace of gloom crossed his eyes, "Xiao Ran, you help me do something." I'm not reconciled, I want to let King Beixian be defeated, as long as this matter is successful, I will go with you and torture you. ”

Hu Li snorted coldly, Wang Lu took out the account book from his sleeve, turned around and walked in front of Hu Li, and put the account book on the table in front of him, "This is the money I have helped King Beixian get from everywhere over the years, some of which have been given to him directly, and some of which have been exchanged for all kinds of grain, grass, soldiers and horses." As long as you send this thing to His Majesty, let him be ruined, and when he doesn't turn over, I will kill myself. ”

Hu Li's eyes moved, looking at the account book on the table, puzzled. He hasn't mentioned it yet, why did this Wang Lu hand over the things. Brother Xiao said that although Wang Lu was not a good person, he was not a stupid person, how could he hand over things so lightly.

Xiao Qiao, who had been watching this qiē outside the window, had some guesses about the reason. A few days ago, Xia Ling and the others found out that a letter was delivered to Wang Lu, and it seemed that the letter must have been sent by King Beixian.

Hu Li's appearance as Xiao Ran, who was dead, was even more of a hit, making Wang Lu's psychological defense line retreat again and again. After all, he killed Xiao Ran at that time because Xiao Ran did not approve of him defecting to King Beixian.
