Huang Qi's ancestors have been officials for generations, and the four generations of great-grandfathers have been officials in the palace, but the years have passed, the clan has been displaced, and today, the Huang family has long lost its glory, and Huang Qi's father is now just a six-grade civil official in the border.

However, Yizhou is vast and sparsely populated, and the mansions of these six-rank officials occupy a vast area, which is not much inferior to the Weinan Hou Mansion.

Xie Ying Lusheng was invited, and Huang Qi led the way, riding straight through the side gate, through the lush garden, across the nine-hole stone bridge over the lake, and then arrived at the outer courtyard of the Huang Mansion.

Huang Qi got off the horse and led Xie and Lu into the east courtyard where he lived. However, his parents had been scolded by his grandmother for asking Fang Shi to exorcise ghosts, so he did not dare to be blatant, and when he reported it, he lied that it was Jian Ye's friend who visited.

It's just that this time, it is inconvenient to inquire about the news, Lu Sheng had to talk to Huang Qi about some rumors and interesting things, and after sitting for a while, a servant came to report: "Tingqin Pavilion is ready." ”

This is Huang Qi according to Xie Ying's instructions, looking for a place that will not arouse his grandmother's suspicion, and can see a little clue in the closed courtyard, then Tingqin Pavilion is high in the back garden of Huangfu, the scenery is elegant, and he can check the intelligence, it is better.

The group left Huang Qi's study again and moved to Tingqin Pavilion.

Surrounded by servants, Lu Sheng had to take half a step closer to Xie Ying, and said in a low voice: "The courtyard is well patrolled...... Loopholes are hard to find. ”

Xie Ying said with a smile: "With Lu Sima's ability, it is not difficult to sneak in and pretend to be a ghost. ”

Lu Sheng was praised by Xie Ying, and he couldn't help touching his nose, but he still shook his head calmly and denied it: "If you do it occasionally, it may work." If you want to sneak in again and again, no one will know, and it won't be my master. ”

When he mentioned Wei Su, there was a sour heat in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad, so he simply sighed, exhaled the depression in his chest, remembering that Wei Su deceived him first and abandoned him later, and the joy of knowing that his teacher was still alive more or less turned into a complaint. On the other hand, Xie Ying never gave up on him and adhered to him consistently, which was really rare in the world, so he took half a step closer to Xie Ying.

Xie Ying noticed his actions, but he didn't see a clue on his face, but turned his head sideways and asked Huang Qi: "What allusions have there been in this corridor?" ”

He asked vaguely, but Huang Qi knew it, nodded slightly, but suddenly laughed loudly: "The two sons don't know, this bamboo bush was transplanted by my father from the foot of Changping Mountain in Anyang County, this is called Luohan bamboo, two of you, please see, this bamboo is born fat and crooked, very naïve and cute......"

He smiled and walked two steps, stopped under a corridor, and on the surface pointed to a penguin of Arhat bamboo standing next to the craggy strange stones outside the corridor, and when Xie Ying and Lu Sheng approached, he lowered his voice and said: "Just on my left, at the second green brick, someone has seen that ...... The unknown person stood in a daze, leaving traces of water. ”

Lu Sheng also smiled with him, pretending to glance at the ground casually, only to feel that the green brick seemed to be a little darker than the side, and there seemed to be a faint cold, but when he looked at it a few more times, there was no difference compared to the surroundings. I'm afraid it's him...... It's hearty.

Xie Ying also only bowed slightly, signaling Huang Qi to leave, and the group continued to walk towards Tingqin Pavilion, only when they turned the corridor, they saw a middle-aged woman hurriedly lifting her skirt and chasing after her from the southeast corner. She is slightly blessed, dressed neatly and richly, with a bit of reserved majesty between her eyebrows, but she is afraid that she is a housekeeper who is not low. Sure enough, she approached, but only slightly blessed Huang Qi, and Huang Qi also bowed back: "Mama Fan is in a hurry, where is this going?" ”

Mama Fan said: "The eldest son, forgive the old man for daring to say, listening to the Qin Pavilion is not a good place to entertain guests, if the eldest prince likes it, the Baihua Courtyard, Xijin Pavilion, and the Bamboo Leaf Pavilion have beautiful scenery. ”

Huang Qi still smiled and said: "Mama has a heart, I want to take the two sons to enjoy the guqin, so naturally I want to go to the Qin Pavilion." ”

Mama Fan hesitated for a while, then lowered her head and said, "It's better to ...... The eldest prince said a place, and the old man ordered someone to send the guqin over and give it to all the sons to enjoy. ”

Huang Qi frowned slightly, and his tone was also a little cold: "Mama Fan, you are a person from your grandmother's side, why did you talk nonsense?" Listen to how precious the two thousand-year-old guqins in the Qin Pavilion are, how can they be moved at will, if they are bumped, who can afford the crime? ”

When he saw that Mama Fan was about to speak, he immediately became stunned, and said angrily: "You don't want to use my grandmother to press me and bring friends to enjoy the piano, but it's just my temporary idea, my grandmother is fasting today, she never sees anyone when she recites the scriptures, and she is still in the bitter bamboo hall at the moment, could it be that you use this little thing to disturb your grandmother's Qingxiu?" ”

Mama Fan's face turned pale and blue, so she had to say again and again: "The old body doesn't dare to ......"

Huang Qi saw that she was soft, so he smiled and said: "These two sons are from noble backgrounds, but they are just rare, and Mama is such a small family, I am afraid that I will collide with nobles." ”

Xie Ying and Lu Sheng were waiting for the two to negotiate, and at this moment, they couldn't help but snort lightly and whispered, "Noble background? ”

Lu Sheng listened to his sarcastic words, and unconsciously smiled bitterly, and only gently shook Xie Ying's wrist, "Ah Ying, it's just an excuse"

Xie Ying glanced at him and said with a smile: "You have a good temper." ”

Lu Sheng could hear it, but Xie Ying's words were soft, and the sarcasm was sharpened a lot, and he breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he see that Huang Qi had finished talking to the grandmother, and he had turned around and smiled: "See you laughing, two please." ”

Lu Sheng was as good as a stream, hugged his fists and said: "The thousand-year-old guqin is rare in the world, only a virtuous person can rely on it, Lu Mou and Brother Xie bothered." ”

Then he didn't say anything all the way, and finally arrived at Tingqin Pavilion, Huang Qi ordered the servants to wait outside the door, and then finally breathed a sigh of relief and led Xie Lu and the others to the third floor.

Listening to the piano attic on all sides of the windows, the room is bright, the field of vision is broad, looking to the southeast, you can vaguely see the green verdant flowers and trees in the shade, revealing a corner of the black tile eaves, is the study that has been blocked for many years.

Lu Sheng and Xie Ying stood side by side, looking into the distance, but they couldn't see any clues, Huang Qi was also ashamed on the side, "I'm ashamed, I can't find more reasons to get closer." Grandmother she ...... It's really ......"

Huang Qi was in a state of silence for a long time, and finally didn't dare to say that his grandmother was not, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

Xie Ying picked up her clothes and sat down by the window, but she still smiled softly and asked, "Baoyang, have you really noticed anything wrong?" ”

Lu Sheng hesitated: "The theory of ghosts and gods, although half of Thailand is nonsense, but since the rumors are rising, Lord Huang and his wife invited monks and Taoists to make a house in the law, it is nothing more than to appease people's hearts, even if the old lady does not believe it, he just turns a blind eye, why do he have to oppose it strongly, and expel the person who practices the law from the house again and again?" This is contrary to common sense. ”

Huang Qi smiled bitterly: "Grandmother is very old...... Xu is, Xu is ......"

Xie Ying said: "Old confused? I'm afraid that it may not be Mrs. Huang who is confused. ”

Lu Sheng heard him say harshly, hurriedly changed the topic again, and continued: "Huang Gongzi, is there any taboo in listening to the Qin Pavilion? ”

Huang Qi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, it's just that this Tingqin Pavilion is located close to the inner courtyard, and it will not be placed here on weekdays, only my father occasionally brings a few close friends to enjoy the qin." However, my father was busy with government affairs and had not brought anyone here for more than half a year. ”

Lu Sheng and Xie Ying glanced at each other, and already had some conclusions in their hearts, Lu Sheng asked again: "Dare to ask Huang Gongzi, listen to the inside and outside of the Qin Pavilion, has anyone ever seen anything unusual?" ”

Huang Qi said: "This is not true, the servant is in the report, that ...... But the man was haunted in the study, the outer courtyard corridor, and the Fuming Hall, where his grandmother lived. As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed drastically, "Did Sima Lu say that there is something wrong with this in the Qin Pavilion?" ”

Lu Sheng said: "Good and dignified, why did even the grandmother next to the old lady come to stop us and not let us enter the Qin Pavilion?" Either you want to cover up, or you are in chaos. ”

Huang Qi said cautiously: "There are a few guqins stored in the pavilion, so ordinary servants can't enter, and only Qingmo and Hongshu ......are the only ones who are responsible for taking care of them." ”

Xiao Fengming is a famous qin, I didn't expect it to be in the Huangfu of Yizhou, but at this time everyone's minds were not on the qin, when the two maids came, Huang Qi asked repeatedly, only to know that there was indeed a vision in the Qin Pavilion, but fortunately, there was no obstacle, the two of them got the instructions of the old lady, and naturally did not mention this matter, and no one in the mansion knew.

Huang Qi waved the two away, his face was pale, he sat down in the chair, and muttered to himself: "I can't be wrong, I can't be wrong, it's all ghosts, why is my grandmother obsessed......"

Lu Sheng sighed: "Huang Qi, you still don't understand? Old Madam Huang was like a mirror in her heart, and she had believed it for a long time. Not only was she convinced of the soul of Old Lady Huang, but she drove the exorcist monks out of the house every time, obviously to protect her husband. ”

Huang Qi was stunned, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "I don't stop until I return...... Grandmother this is, why bother. ”

Lu Sheng said: "If one day, my beloved unfortunately goes before me, I am afraid that I would rather his soul remain by my side." ”

Xie Ying was originally looking out the window, but when he heard this, he glanced back at him, and suddenly sneered: "Baoyang, this is a calculation to let the beloved pass away?" ”

Lu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Never, there is no such thing, Ah Ying, don't think about it." Naturally, I would like to be with my beloved forever and forever. ”

His expression was solemn, and his words were conclusive, and he only swore by the heavens and the earth.

There were outsiders present, and Xie Ying was not good at always teasing him, so he turned to say: "Originally, people died like lights going out, everything was empty, if you want to stay in the Yang world, one is bound by evil magic and demon magic, and the other is to have a monstrous hatred, but in the final analysis, it is not always a love stack of red dust, and you are willing to stay in the Yang world and accompany your wife." ”

Huang Qi and Lu Sheng looked at each other, and Huang Qi said movingly: "So, then...... If it was really in the grandfather, now he is haunted by the house with a grudge...... It's ......"

…… It doesn't make sense.

Mrs. Huang was killed by water thieves on the way to her post, and now she is full of resentment and returns to her soul, not looking for revenge, but she is entrenched in the home of her blood relatives, why did she come?

Xie Ying snorted again: "You think it's unreasonable, but in fact, there is another hidden story." It's just that Huang Gongzi, Mrs. Huang clearly doesn't want others to investigate this matter, and the intention of covering it up is obvious, if you insist on pursuing the truth, I'm afraid that you will regret it at that time. ”

Huang Qi naturally hesitated when he heard this, and Xie Ying said: "You only need to make a little arrangement according to my instructions, and within twenty years, the mansion will not be able to set off a big chaos, but you don't have to completely eradicate it at this time." ”

Lu Sheng also said: "It's rare to be confused, it's better to wait a few more years, and Old Madam Huang will naturally figure it out." ”

Even if Mrs. Huang can't figure it out, the old man has little longevity left, so it is better to wait for her to be a hundred years later and then make plans.

Huang Qi simply stood up and paced around the room a few times, then made up his mind, hugged his fists at Xie Lu and said: "The resentful spirit is haunted, like a fish in the throat and a mang in the back, please help the two of you...... If I anger my grandmother because of this, I will carry it alone. ”

Lu Sheng didn't know what to do, so he had to look at Xie Ying, but Xie Ying stood up and said with a smile: "In this case, please also ask Huang Gongzi to lead the way, and let the two of us reward the peerless Qin Xiao Fengming." ”

Although Huang Qi didn't know why he suddenly changed his tone, as if he really came to appreciate the piano, he still immediately responded: "Naturally, naturally, please." ”

The three of them went downstairs and walked towards the secret vault, Lu Sheng followed behind him, and asked in a low voice, "Ah Ying, what does that Qin have to do with it?" ”

Xie Ying said: "You will know when you see it." Then you need to be so ......" He instructed Lu Sheng a few words, Lu Sheng had to agree with a bitter face, and then walked all the way to the secret vault on the first floor, where Qingmo and Hongshu were also waiting at the door, and the door had been opened.

Xie Ying stepped into the warehouse first, called the secret vault, but in fact, it was also arranged like an elegant library, and a black lacquered piano was placed in the middle of the house.

Lu Sheng carefully appreciates the famous piano, the young phoenix is made of yin and yang paulownia wood, Fuxi system, the body is slender and winding, the body is painted with black lacquer, broken lines like silk, containing a little starlight twinkling, exquisite. It is rumored that the name of this piano is taken from the meaning of the young phoenix clear in the old phoenix sound, if in the sunny sunrise, the face of the sun plays, then the sound of the piano is clear, the sound spreads ten miles, can lead a hundred birds and songs.

He sighed: "It is rumored that Xiao Fengming is a former Qin Qin master Yu Yin made thousands of pianos in his lifetime, and his wife is a well-known violinist, but the piano used is made by others. Yu Yin was ashamed of his beloved wife, and then spent three years looking for a hundred years of paulownia wood, painstakingly and painstakingly, and cut it into a young phoenix. Because its legend contains the affection of husband and wife, this qin is mostly used by women, but I don't know which lady uses this guqin? ”

Huang Qi said: "I heard my mother mention that my grandmother bought this piano twenty years ago, but I didn't see her touch it when I bought it, and it has been stored in the secret vault and ignored it." The mother did not dare to trespass. ”

Qingmo and Hongshu were behind them, exchanging glances with each other, and Qingmo spoke: "Eldest prince, this qin ...... It also rang. ”

Huang Qi frowned and said, "Ringing?" ”

Qingmo said: "Since June, it has sounded about four times, and I thought that the lady had come to enjoy the famous piano without telling the old lady, so I didn't dare to come out." The first two times were just intermittent, like an audition, but the third time, the man played a torrent of water......"

Mrs. Huang has always been dignified and elegant, elegant and good at piano painting, and the sound of the piano is often high mountains and flowing waters, with a vast artistic conception, and it is often said that the sound of the piano is clear and calm, so she has always been disdainful of the Qinglou minor tune that loves to sing the love of the girl. What's more, the rhythm is condensed, the technique is clumsy, and there is no demeanor of Mrs. Huang, so Qingmo Hongshu finally became suspicious and went to the secret vault to investigate.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived in front of the secret vault, I saw that the big brass lock on the door was hanging on top, and there was no other entrance to the secret vault, and the sound of the piano came from the warehouse, although it was weak but extremely clear, the green ink and red book became more and more frightened, and the red book approached boldly, but the light of the lampstand in her hand shone into the warehouse along the gap, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Afterwards, the two did not dare to make a noise, and only thoroughly investigated it once in the secret vault, lest there was any secret passage hidden in the vault, and after a few days of investigation, it was naturally in vain.

The fourth time happened in the early morning three days ago, the sky was slightly bright, Qingmo turned off the lights, tiptoed to the door, and peeked into the keyhole, but in the hazy light and shadow, there was naturally no trace of outsiders.

Huang Qi asked again and again what was abnormal, Qingmo looked back for a long time, and then said: "When I look through the keyhole, I only feel that there is a thin red in the field of vision, as if there is a layer of red gauze in front of me. ”

Huang Qi frowned and said, "Have you ever left water stains?" ”

Qingmo Hongshu hurriedly said: "The little one doesn't dare to deceive the eldest son, inside and outside the warehouse, there are no water stains." ”

Xie Ying had already stopped in front of the Bogu shelf placed against the innermost side wall, and laughed softly: "This formation is also properly arranged. ”

Huang Qi Lusheng couldn't help but ask in unison: "Formation? ”

Xie Ying raised his hand and pointed in turn, on the wall on the right side of the door, there was a chaotic eye-opening picture, and the top layer of the Bogu shelf facing the gate was placed from left to right, and the jade carved Jianwei was placed from left to right, and the stone paperweight of Qishoushan was shaped like a green ox, and the bronze incense burner in the corner of the left wall was carved with a very rare gluttonous head.

Everyone followed Xie Ying's guidance again, and they noticed that the eyes of the four fierce beasts were concentrated in one place, that is, on the young phoenix song.

Xie Ying then explained: "This is called the Four Fierce Soul Devouring Array, which is an extremely vicious evil art, which can make the trapped soul suffer from the wind and fire, and the devouring and biting of ten thousand beasts. However, the mana of the people in the formation is low, and the yin soul locked in the formation is not lethal at all, but after being trapped for a long time, the soul devouring also has a little effect, and the long is three years, and the short is a few months, and the soul will disappear completely. ”

Huang Qi's figure shook and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... The trapped soul is none other than ......"

Xie Ying shook his head and said, "Those who are trapped in the formation can't get out of this room." ”

Huang Qi became more and more confused, "Could it be that there is someone else?" It's not a grandfather, but who ......"

Xie Ying's fingers brushed the strings of the young phoenix, the sound of the piano was slightly loud, but there was a slight dullness in the crispness, which was regrettable, and I didn't know if it was actually difficult to match under the fame, or if it was old and the famous piano had been destroyed, but he smiled and said: "If you want to know, just take this piano apart." ”

Huang Qi muttered: "This piano was found by my grandmother twenty years ago......"

He suddenly felt a sense of sadness and fear in his heart, afraid that if he continued to track down, it would be difficult to retreat.

Xie Ying said: "If you stop here, it's too late." ”

Huang Qi thought about it, then gritted his teeth and said: "The matter has come to this point, if you don't find out, you will be at ease!" Qingmo, take the tools. ”

Qingmo said in horror: "Eldest son, don't do it!" What a precious treasure the young phoenix ming, if you dismantle it......"

Huang Qi said: "Shut up." When he saw the red book retreating to the door, he immediately shouted, "Stop! Fu'an Fuquan, you immediately bring people and guard me at the door of the Tingqin Pavilion, without my permission, and no one is allowed to enter. ”

Huang Qi's personal attendant should leave, Qingmo Hongshu was already anxious and teary-eyed, but it was rare to see the always gentle eldest prince so stern, he didn't dare to stop him, so he had to watch Huang Qi take the harp tools that were always in the warehouse.

Xie Ying called again: "Hug Yang." ”

Lu Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, but he was one step ahead of Huang Qi, pulled out the hanging pot, and saw the silver light flickering, and between the electric light and flint, a uniform cracking and crisp sound sounded, and he had already put the hanging pot into the sheath. With just this move, he had cut off all seven strings of the young phoenix.

After all, Huang Qi has regarded this qin as a treasure since he was a child, and his heart trembled when he saw this, and Lu Sheng had already comforted: "In this way, we can cut off the sight of the four murderers and calm the soul for the time being...... Don't blame Huang Gongzi. ”

Huang Qi smiled bitterly: "The left and right have also come to this step......" He took a closer look, but he was secretly frightened, Lu Sheng's sword was neat and powerful, and it only cut the strings, but it didn't hurt the body at all. He didn't have time to think about it, his subordinates moved neatly, so he dismantled the young phoenix Mingsheng, which could be called a rare treasure.

A roll of yellow silk cloth emerged from the chamber, the color and texture were quite old, and it had been stored for a long time.

Huang Qi's fingers trembled, and he unfolded the silk cloth layer by layer, but saw that there was a bundle of hair wrapped in the middle of the cloth, and a birthday was written on the silk cloth, and the word "green peach" was written next to the eight characters, and the handwriting was dark and red, as if it was written in blood. Huang Qi frowned and said: "The word Qingtao, I'm afraid it is the owner of this birthday, but the surname Qing, but it is rare, could it be a barbarian?" ”

Xie Ying smiled: "Qingtao is like a flower name. ”

If the people in the Qinglou have been adopted since childhood, they will have no surname, only flower names. It's just that Lu Sheng was harsh when he heard it, and he couldn't help but glance at Xie Ying more, "Ah Ying is very familiar, could it be that she is a frequent visitor?" ”

Xie Ying still smiled and said: "Brother Lu Xian's words are wrong, he didn't go for his brother, he went a few times, Brother Lu Xian knows better than his brother." ”

Lu Sheng's old face was red, so he had to press it down again, but at this time, there was a commotion outside the door, Huang Qi hurriedly put the hair and silk cloth into his sleeve and hid it, the door had been slammed open, and an old lady with silver hair held a dragon's head cane in her hand, and rushed in angrily.

Immediately behind her, Huang Qi's mother-in-law, Mrs. Huang, said in a stacked voice: "The old lady is careful at your feet." ”

Suddenly, led by the two official wives, a large group of servants poured in, and Fu Anfu walked in with his hands tied and followed the old lady's servants with his head down.

Mrs. Huang originally wanted to settle the matter and persuade others to say a few words, but as soon as she came in, she saw a mess all over the place, and said in a lost voice: "Xiaoqi, how dare you dismantle Xiao Fengming!?" ”

The old lady slammed her crutches and said angrily, "Evil obstacles! ”

Seeing the opportunity, Mrs. Huang hurriedly shouted: "Son! Don't kneel down and confess your mistake to your grandmother! ”

Huang Qi threw himself on his knees, kowtowed and sobbed: "Grandmother, my grandson knows that I am wrong!" ”

The old lady's face was pale, the two vertical lines between her eyebrows were deeply wrinkled, the corners of her mouth drooped, but her eyes were as sharp as a man, she must be a person with a very tough personality, at this time, she glanced at Huang Qi sternly and was silent, and stared coldly at Xie Ying and Lu Sheng, and said slowly: "Okay, good, my good grandson, a good friend, actually instigated you to make a big mistake and ruined the treasure of my Huang family." ”

Lu Sheng was stared at by her and felt cold in his back, but he said in his heart I have also seen the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and the corpses have also broken through the forest, how can I be bluffed by a woman in the back house! Then he straightened his waist, hugged his fists and said, "Old lady......"

"Shut up!" The old lady shouted again, "My Huang family's affairs, no one else needs to interfere, come here, send off guests!" ”

Huang Qi was in a hurry, and walked two steps on his knees: "Grandmother! ”

Mrs. Huang was at a loss, so anxious that she burst into tears, while comforting her mother-in-law, she said softly: "Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, what have you done......

Huang Qi wept and said: "It's the child who is not filial...... It's just that if there is a grievance, how can the child ignore it! ”

Old Madam Huang snorted coldly: "My Huang Mansion is bright and fair, where does the grievance come from? Whimsical, Mama Fan, don't send off the guests yet! ”

Mama Fan hurriedly bowed her head in response, and after a look, several family members stepped forward and arched their hands: "Two please." ”

Lu Shenghe had been driven away, and he couldn't help but be a little unhappy, but Xie Ying picked up the hem of his clothes, walked to the Eight Immortals chair against the wall and sat down, and said with a smile: "A heavy rain in June, the water swelled, and several corpses were washed up on the riverbank, but unfortunately Bianzhou was short of manpower, but he had no time to verify the identity of the corpse, so he just buried it." ”

Old Madam Huang's face sank, and her cold gaze with anger almost wanted to poke the handsome and noble son, but Xie Ying was calm and calm, and continued: "However, there is something strange about one of the corpses. ”

He stopped abruptly after saying a word, turned his hand and picked up the teacup, and tasted the tea slowly.

The family members looked at each other, not knowing what to do, Old Madam Huang had changed her face and shouted, "All go out!" ”

The servants had no choice but to retreat according to their words, only Mama Fan was still supporting the old lady, and the rest were only Xie Ying Lu Sheng, together with Huang Qi's mother and son.

Mrs. Huang looked around in embarrassment, and Mrs. Huang said coldly: "Siniang, you also go out with Xiaoqi." ”

Mrs. Huang was obviously relieved, and was about to pull Huang Qi to get up, but Huang Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Grandmother, what are you hiding?" ”

"Bold!" Mrs. Huang scolded loudly, Mrs. Huang had already raised her palm and slapped Huang Qi fiercely, and bright red palm prints gradually appeared on the young man's handsome cheeks, and Mrs. Huang was heartbroken and anxious, so she said angrily: "Presumptuous, how dare you rush into grandmother?" Don't you avoid it with your mother? ”

Huang Qi gritted his teeth, took out the yellow silk cloth and hair, and asked in a trembling voice, "Grandmother, who is Qingtao?" ”

Old Madam Huang's figure flickered, and Mrs. Huang was also slightly moved, and she was silent thoughtfully.

Mama Fan hurriedly waited for the old lady to sit down, and then went to the door of the warehouse to tell her henchmen to guard it closely, then closed the door, hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the old lady, and said bitterly: "Son, you ...... Look no further. ”

Lu Sheng couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "Ah Ying, why don't we go first." ”

Xie Ying said: "Lu Gongcao, you have been reinstated as an official and are in charge of the responsibility of the people's Gongcao, but now there is an unsolved case in front of you, but you have to ignore it?" ”

Although Lu Sheng vaguely guessed the clue and looked at the old lady's strong expression, he couldn't help but feel unbearable, and hesitated: "This is ...... I ......"

Mrs. Huang suddenly covered her mouth and said in a lost voice: "Green peach? Could it be that my father-in-law was back then—"

As soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Old Madam Huang sharply: "Siniang, you step back for me!" ”

Mrs. Huang's face turned pale, and she hurriedly blessed her body, glanced at Huang Qi worriedly, and then withdrew from the room.

However, the few words she blurted out were like lightning in the dark clouds in the sky, and the fog suddenly dissipated, and the truth was about to be revealed.

Lu Sheng also felt that the truth in front of him was becoming clearer and clearer, and muttered: "This matter is really related to the old lady. ”

Huang Qi unconsciously clenched the silk cloth tightly, and said in a dumb voice: "Qingtao, it's grandfather's...... Who? ”

Xie Ying chuckled and said, "A woman in a green building, who else can she be if she follows the master of the official family?" ”

Huang Qi heard that his grandparents had a deep affection since he was a child, and his Huang family had fallen in his grandfather's generation, and it was very difficult. It was the grandmother who used the dowry to pay off the debt for her grandfather, and the dowry was insufficient, and she cheekily went back to her parents' house to borrow debts, and suffered insults from her sisters in the family. Fortunately, my grandmother had a tough temperament, and she gritted her teeth and spurred her husband, and when Huang Qi's father was born, his grandfather gradually cheered up, and the Huang Mansion was able to revitalize the court.

Therefore, my grandfather was very grateful to my grandmother, and the couple loved each other, although there was only one son and one daughter under my knees, my grandfather never accepted a concubine, and it was a beautiful talk for a while. This good family style also extends to the heirs, and Huang Qi's parents are also very harmonious, and there has never been anyone else in the room.

Now I heard that my grandfather is no different from the rest, and he has also been a prostitute like a gentleman, and he has also redeemed himself for the Qinglou woman, but he is afraid that he will be accepted as a concubine. Huang Qi only felt like a thunderbolt falling on the sunny day, his beliefs for many years were shattered and collapsed, and he was flustered for a while, so dizzy that he didn't know what to say.

He had to turn his head to look at Lu Sheng in a panic, and said in a trembling voice, "How could it be...... How could it be ......"

Old Madam Huang sneered: "Why not? But the world is as black as a crow. ”

Huang Qi hurriedly put the silk hair into his sleeve, and said in a panic: "Grandmother, my grandson knows that I am wrong, and my grandson doesn't ask......

Old Madam Huang said slowly: "Now that it's too late, it's too late for you to regret it." ”

Huang Qi burst into tears and shook his head again and again, even though he had thousands of ideas, he never expected that it would be such a devastating progress, but it was too late to regret it, and he really responded to what Xie Ying said before, and he regretted it.

Xie Ying smiled: "Baoyang, what are you waiting for?" ”

Lu Sheng frowned slightly, and then asked, "The souls of these four fierce soul devouring array are really green peaches?" ”

Xie Ying said: "If you don't believe it, I will summon it out for you to see, but she has suffered from twenty years of soul devouring, and she will be dissipated after calling it out." ”

Mama Fan had already knelt down with a plop, her face was calm, and she said clearly: "Every qiē is done by the old slave hiding from his master." ”

Old Madam Huang laughed loudly, "Twenty years of soul devouring suffering? Soul gone? Good, good, good! She took my husband back then, and she should have known the consequences! ”

Mama Fan hurriedly held her hand and hurriedly said, "Old lady......"

Old Madam Huang gently patted Mama Fan's hand in turn, and suddenly smiled with relief, "Cuiyi, you protect me, I naturally know." It's just that you and I have been masters and servants all my life, and we have long been both prosperous and lossy. ”

Mama Fan burst into tears and choked up, "Miss......"

Old Madam Huang turned her head, sat dignified and majestic, and said solemnly: "I asked someone to kill Qingtao." ”

Without waiting for others to speak, she had already continued: "I worked hard for the revitalization of the Huangfu and tried my best to repair the holes he stabbed, but he disliked me for not being tender enough to be his interpreter, so I got a transfer official position, so I couldn't wait to redeem the woman and take her to the post." In order to repay the debt to the Huang Mansion, I sold the two guqins that Airuo lived, and he found the young Fengming, but he only thought of giving it to a concubine who ransomed herself in the Qinglou! ”

Huang Qi felt bad, and hurriedly stepped forward on his knees, hugged Mrs. Huang's legs, and cried: "Grandmother, grandmother, please don't say anything more......

Old Madam Huang's tough face finally relaxed, she gently stroked Huang Qi's hair, and two lines of tears slowly flowed down, "Silly child, grandmother, this is for you." If that old fool gives birth to a concubine with that woman, with his despicable roots, sooner or later he will take the position of your father and your son-in-law, Xiaoqi, how can I allow that foreign wild seed to take your place? ”

Lu Sheng had no choice but to sigh: "Sure enough, the water thief who killed Old Lady Huang and his concubine back then turned out to be the murderer who was bought by the old lady. ”

Xie Ying said: "Old lady Huang died in the water, but Qingtao was not, the old lady should have bought it twice." ”

Old Madam Huang closed her voice and sorted out her feelings, and then snorted and responded: "Exactly." When the water thief saw that Qingtao was beautiful, he was moved by compassion and left her behind. How can I save this from this...... Therefore, the second time he bought a murder and killed the green peach. ”

This old lady is resolute and thoughtful, and her wrists are even more vicious. She hated her husband's change of heart, and was even more worried that her future heirs would be angry with her concubines and concubines, so she simply killed her husband to prevent future troubles. She was resentful, not only killed Qing Tao, but also retrieved the young phoenix, hid Qing Tao's birthday and a strand of hair in the qin, and suppressed her soul in the four fierce soul devouring arrays, and tortured her for twenty years.

Now that the deeds have been revealed, he still has a frank expression, no fear at all, graceful silver hair, dignified behavior, and staring straight at Lu Sheng at this time, quite the demeanor of a clan lady, which made Lu Sheng hesitate.

Huang Qizhen really regretted it, and now he could only lie on the ground and cry silently, Mama Fan wept silently, but she still remembered her duty and took care of Mrs. Huang on the side.

Old Madam Huang smiled slightly: "Lord Simin Gongcao, this matter is all done by me, and it has nothing to do with others, and please open the net, don't embarrass my descendants of the old man." ”

Ascending Ai Ai said, "This ...... I...... Twenty years ago, the old case ......"

Xie Ying suddenly put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Now it's finally here." ”

Lu Sheng followed his line of sight, but saw that there was a puddle of water in front of the closed door, and the water trails increased little by little, as if someone was dripping water all over his body, and was slowly approaching step by step, and finally stopped in front of Old Madam Huang.

Then a figure wearing an indigo official robe became clear from blur, revealing the face of a middle-aged man, the man was thin, and his beard was very delicately trimmed.

Mama Fan and Huang Qi both changed their faces, they were so shocked that their hearts and galls were broken, they trembled and their words were slurred, and Mama Fan said in a dumb voice: "Auntie...... Uncle......"

Huang Qi stammered: "This, this is the ancestral ...... Ancestral ......"

Lu Sheng's hand touched the hilt of the hanging pot, and was grasped by Xie Ying, the boy and brother were so tidy, and the fingertips rubbed the back of his hand a few times, and then he said softly: "Hug Yang, don't be impatient." ”

Everyone in the room was frightened, but only two people turned a blind eye, one was naturally Xie Ying, who was watching from the wall, and the other was Mrs. Huang.

The wet soul clearly stood in front of her, but her gaze penetrated her body, scanning around blankly, looking at the trembling Mama Fan and Huang Qi, her face became more and more confused, and asked, "Cuiyi, what did you say?" Uncle? Is my uncle really here? He died in the water for twenty years, and now he finally remembers to come back? ”

The soul's eyes widened, and he said hoarsely: "Poisonous woman......" He stretched out a pair of miserable white hands from his long sleeves, and made a gesture to pinch Old Madam Huang's neck, but his fingers penetrated the neck again and again, and he couldn't touch Old Madam Huang at all.

Old Madam Huang just frowned slightly, stroked her neck and coughed lightly, the expression in her eyes softened a little, "That's it, although you are empathetic, I have also tormented her for twenty years...... After all, you are my man in life, and my ghost in death, I ...... The anger is gone. ”

The soul was so mad with hatred that it rushed forward to punch and kick, mad to the extreme, but it couldn't touch the old lady, and in the eyes of others, it was terrible and terrible, and sad and ridiculous.

Old Madam Huang looked at the disintegrating young Fengming, and suddenly burst into tears, shaking her head while crying and laughing: "You unproductive gentleman, I told you a long time ago that the sound of beauty will only lose your mind, and twenty years later, you will still only sing such unproductive Jiangnan minor tunes for me." That's it, I'm always hard to ...... for you."

The soul was still smashing at the old lady's head, and shouted, "Poisonous woman! You poisonous woman! It's still whimsical, I never have half a love for you, which one wants you to look at? I originally sang for Qing Tao! What are you? Kill to pay for your life, brute, I want you not to die well!! ”

The voice was cold and hoarse, not like a human voice, which made people feel cold, but Mrs. Huang still couldn't notice it, and only sang intermittently: "Think about it, hate it, hate it until you return." Moonlight ...... People leaning on the building...... cough cough cough ......"

Old Madam Huang frowned, grabbed her chest and coughed violently, Mama Fan finally came to her senses, and hurriedly knelt in front of Xie Lu and cried: "Sir, sir, save my young lady......"

Lu Sheng sighed in a low voice, pushed Xie Ying's hand away, and pulled out the hanging pot.

Before the fierce sword was unsheathed, the soul of the old lady Huang suddenly stopped, revealing a shocked look, and then shouted: "You won't let me go if I become a ghost!" ”

The attack became more and more ruthless, and the old lady Huang's face gradually turned pale, and her cough became violent. Lu Sheng took a step forward, only the void slashed in mid-air, and the tip of the sword slashed lightly in the back, and the soul let out a short scream, turning into a puff of black smoke and dissipating without a trace.

Mama Fan breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly opened the door to deliver medicine, and called a maid to serve the old lady, the room was suddenly busy, Lu Sheng turned his head, but saw Xie Ying showing an unfinished look, he frowned slightly, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and saw that Huang Qi was still at a loss, so he had to say: "Huang Gongzi, this matter ...... That's it. ”

Huang Qiyu was still teary-stained, turned his head to look at him, his expression was wooden, and he asked blankly: "Do ...... Cease......? ”

Lu Sheng said firmly: "Give up." Hello, filial piety to grandmother, I will leave with Gongzi Xie first. ”

Huang Qi was stunned and said, "This is going to ...... Leave......? ”

Lu Sheng saw that he couldn't give up, and his heart became more and more pity, so he hurriedly said goodbye. Xie Ying said: "There is a reluctant request below, and I also ask Huang Gongzi to be accommodating." ”

Huang Qi was still stunned and said, "Master Xie, please speak." ”

Xie Ying said: "Brother Lu Xian and I have been busy for a long time, and we can't return in vain, so it's better to take this poor paperweight as a reward." ”

The quality of the stone paperweight of Shoushan is mediocre, and the carving is still exquisite, but it is difficult to enter the eyes of Huang Qifa, and now he casually glanced at it, and ordered someone to wrap it up and hand it over to Xie Ying's servant, and said: "The small things are not respectful, and they are under the ...... Thank you another day. ”

Lu Sheng sighed: "Huang Gongzi's words are serious. ”

The two of them were speechless at each other, and they took their own leave with some interest.

On the way back to the inn, Xie Ying suddenly laughed and said in a low voice: "The murderous star is not enough, and a hundred disasters will come out after a hundred times." Isn't that old monk really a little capable? ”

Lu Sheng said angrily: "Xie Ying, you shut up!" ”

His voice was low, and his tone was extremely harsh, and after scolding, he kicked the horse's belly hard, and rushed into the dense drizzle, throwing Xie Ying away from afar.
