Chapter 337: Excavation
Xue Baiqiao nodded expressionlessly, his expression was rarely serious, and he didn't know if he wanted to cure his own problem. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
To say that he becomes a cat every night is very annoying to him, but if it is true, it is not an illusion, and he thinks that he can know more things that others will not let him know.
Hongchen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Sometimes it is not good to know too much, although the little marquis is grown up and not young, but there is no need to worry about Ninghou's affairs, and if there is a problem, I am afraid that you will regret it." ā
According to Xue Baiqiao, Ning Hou's 'big rebellion' has already been done, if he didn't do it before, he could still stop one or two, since he had done it, then the only thing they should do was to not know.
In the future, if this matter is revealed and Daddy dies, their family will follow.
Don't say anything about loyalty and filial piety, those who can dare to kill their relatives in the world are crazy, Xue Baiqiao is a normal person, although he reads sage books, he has been rebellious since he was a child, and the emperor is not even a hair of his own father for him.
Not to mention the first accusation to be exempted, if you really sue for the first time, the whole family will be folded in, what is the point of living by yourself!
If he didn't know who the county lord in front of him was, he would never reveal half a word in front of her, on the contrary, if he accidentally let people know, he couldn't say that he still had to be a hot person, cutting the grass and roots, so as not to leak the news.
"What is Hongchen going to do?"
Xue Baiqiao frowned.
Let's not talk about my own problems, now there is a ghost living in the house, or his sister-in-law's little sister, which is creepy when I think about it.
I don't know how long the female ghost has been at home, and has it hindered her family's health? Why did she stay in the Xue family?
Now my mind is full of mysteries.
Hongchen thought for a while: "Can you find a little bit of that little girl's relics or something?" ā
If you want to trap her soul and prevent her from running around, and find her body again, you still need a little relic.
Xue Baiqiao hesitated for a moment: "The uncle and family of the Xing family are not in the capital now, and they have returned to their hometowns to retire, but it is not difficult." ā
He vaguely remembered that the girl was lost, and the aunt of the Xing family fell ill all of a sudden, so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, and her father also asked several imperial doctors from the palace to see her, but the results were not optimistic, but he just thought of his eldest daughter, and held on to his breath, watching his sister-in-law marry into their family, and then he went, Uncle Xing did not remarry later, and he wanted to find his little daughter.
"Hey, I don't know if my sister-in-law is there, I was young at the time, and I don't remember much about it for many years, but now I think about it, because that little sister was lost in my house, my father and mother always feel indebted to the Xing family, and I have always connived at my sister-in-law."
He didn't tell Hongchen that none of the concubines raised by his eldest brother lived past the age of three, and the family suspected that it was the handiwork of his sister-in-law.
This matter is not difficult to investigate, no matter how powerful the sister-in-law's methods are, Keninghou Mansion is his own territory, if you want to investigate, how can you not find out.
It's just that it's gone, the child is dead, and it's useless to be sad, but if it is replaced by another woman and does such a thing, if you don't want to make trouble, you will deal with it in private, but their family still feels more or less indebted to the Xing family, so they gave the sister-in-law a chance, and only secretly warned it.
Fortunately, the sister-in-law later repented and raised the two little nephews well, and it was about the same as the two concubines who were pregnant and suspicious, and always felt that they were going to be killed, and they didn't take care of their bodies well.
Hongchen stared at Xue Baiqiao twice, frowned, and said: "I'll say it again, this matter must be done secretly, you go to find the relics, you must also be secret, it is best not to tell anyone, your sister-in-law, it is best not to know." ā
Xue Baiqiao was stunned, but he should still get down.
This kind of thing, the county lord is an expert, and he is obedient.
After a while, Xue Baiqiao brought over a small pen holder.
"This is the little sister of the Xing family, what she left in our house at that time, my mother left all the things and put them in the warehouse."
Xue Baiqiao was also a little surprised by this, he didn't expect the little girl of the Xing family to be so likable, but he had already remembered a little, that was a naughty bag, pranks all day long, making her father cry and laugh, beat and scold, and could only complain a few words in front of outsiders.
came to their house, played very well with him, climbed trees and walls, could do anything, and was ten times more naughty than boys.
Hongchen didn't care what the little marquis wanted, when he got the things, he asked him to quietly invite Ning Hou to prepare some things, and set up the altar seriously.
"This little female ghost is only an old ghost, and she has to use some means to trap it."
As soon as Ning Hou entered the door, he felt the wind blowing on his face, and in the circle surrounded by white candles on the ground, a little girl appeared, and the girl looked ignorant and frightened.
Ning Hou: "......"
Xue Baiqiao was also so frightened that he grabbed the talisman and recited the scriptures silently.
Hongchen glanced at the two big men, stood up and walked over a little, and asked softly, "Are you Xing Xiaoyin?" ā
The little female ghost raised her head sharply and whined twice, but she couldn't open her mouth and couldn't speak.
Hongchen was stunned for a moment, raised the candle and shone it, and his face suddenly changed.
Xue Baiqiao didn't care about being afraid, and leaned over and whispered, "What's the matter?" ā
Ning Hou squinted his eyes and looked over as well.
Hongchen was silent for a moment, and sighed: "When someone killed her, she sewed her mouth with a special needle and thread, so that she could go to the underworld, and she could not complain to the king of Hades about grievances. ā
Xue Baiqiao was frightened.
Hongchen shook his head: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary person with some knowledge, it's not a spirit master, if it's a spirit master, there's no need to work so hard, it's easier and more effective to just let her soul fly." ā
As he spoke, he turned his head to stare at the little female ghost, pondered for a moment, and asked softly, "You were killed, if so, you nodded." ā
In fact, it can already be determined, if it is not killed by someone, why bother sewing up your mouth, doing such a thing, you are not afraid of retribution.
The little female ghost looked at her with a frightened face, and without saying a word, she suddenly lowered her head and began to run around, trying to escape, and her movements were quite violent.
Hongchen couldn't laugh or cry when she saw that the enchantment she had set up with a candle made her show signs of breaking when she hit it.
"What are you doing here?"
I had to shoot out two talismans, wrap the little female ghost into a ball, and throw it to the ground, the little female ghost kept struggling, and her mouth was whining.
Xue Baiqiao looked at Hongchen with a look of anticipation.
Hongchen shrugged: "It seems that there is nothing to ask from her mouth, first find her body, and when there is a corpse, there is a way to see the scene before her death, as for how much you can see, it depends on how deep her obsession is." ā
With a soul, it is not difficult to find a body.
Hongchen took a piece of rune paper, collected his soul, and threw it upward, and the rune paper floated in mid-air, gently floating outside.
The group hurriedly followed.
Walked all the way, through the verandah, around the garden, flew to a courtyard gate and got in.
Even Ning Hou was a little nervous for a while.
Xue Baiqiao swallowed his saliva even more.
This courtyard is the pomegranate courtyard, where Ning Hou and his wife live, since the son of the family, Ning Hou moved to the newly built courtyard here, which has lived for many years.
Father and son looked at each other - how could they be here? However, I gritted my teeth and followed.
It was only when I walked near a large peony flower garden that the rune paper that hid the little female ghost fell.
Hongchen looked around and pointed to the most leafy peony: "Dig it, it's right down here." ā
Ning Hou: "......"
Xue Baiqiao swallowed.
There was no way, Ning Hou quietly ordered to go down, and the entire pomegranate courtyard was secretly sealed, no one was allowed to enter or leave, and his personal guards were personally responsible, and by the way, he brought tools and began to dig.
Fortunately, this is the Pomegranate Courtyard, Ninghou's territory, and no one dares to make a snoop, which saves a lot of trouble.
More than a dozen people took tools and dug desperately, and after working hard for almost half an hour, digging to the back, even Ning Hou frowned, wondering if Hongchen was mistaken.
Unfortunately not.
Half an hour later, the guard suddenly stopped and said loudly: "Master Hou, there is something!" ā
A big deep pit was dug up, revealing a black, half-human-high vase, the vase was made out, covered with black mud, and the mouth of the bottle was also blocked, Ning Hou looked at it twice, waved his hand, and his own personal guard went over to open it, and several people pushed it together, and it took a lot of effort to pour out the contents inside.
Plop.
Everyone was taken aback.
"Oh my God!"
Xue Baiqiao's face turned pale for a moment, his stomach turned over, and he instinctively stood over to block Hongchen's sight.
But he blocked it too late.
It was the body of a little girl, her neck broken, her limbs twisted, and her whole body curled up strangely.
I don't know what the reason is, but she hasn't completely turned into white bones, and you can vaguely see the girl's face, which is Miss Xiaoyin.
Ning Hou's face was pale, and the back of his hand was full of green muscles.
Hongchen closed his eyes: "Don't leak the news yet." ā
Ning Hou exhaled and ordered, and the people below went to do it, presumably everything that happened here, no one outside would know.
"Who is it? Why kill this child? ā
Xue Baiqiao is incredible.
This is Ninghou Mansion, that Xiaoyin girl is just a guest with her parents, and she has nothing to do with her family at all, who is so bold to kill someone in their mansion and bury her body here.
After a second thought, this pomegranate courtyard is where my father and mother have lived for a long time, and this flower garden is even more popular with my mother, and I often come to play on weekdays.
He thought for a long time: "...... I remember that the pomegranate yard was newly built, it used to be a garden, and it was originally a pond, because my mother was worried that the children would fall into the water when they played, so she filled the pond and made out the flower beds, which must have happened when the yard was built. ā
Ning Hou also nodded, that year, the Xing family brought their two daughters to the house as guests, and it happened to be building this courtyard, the relationship between the two families was good at that time, so there was not so much attention, and he couldn't help but be sentimental for a while: "Hey, at that time, your mother and I still have the heart to tell you about Xiao Yin, Xiao Yin is so cute, and she plays well with you." ā
Xue Baiqiao's face was red, a little embarrassed, he remembered it now, his mother joked and teased him, saying that he would let Xiaoyin be his daughter-in-law, and he also jumped to his feet and shouted good, saying that there was no problem, and they could play together every day in the future.
He wasn't too young back then, but he was still a child.
Ning Hou suddenly came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Hongchen: "County Lord, please use your means to give Xiaoyin justice." ā
Hongchen pondered for a moment, and at this time, the rune paper shattered, and Xiao Yin's shadow seemed a little illusory, sitting next to the corpse, with his head bowed and his shoulders shrunk.
"Have you thought about it? Do you really want to continue to explore? ā
Ning Hou was stunned.
Hongchen said again: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't explore, I want to find a way to send Miss Xiaoyin to the underworld." ā
She glanced at Xue Baiqiao, "That matter can also be resolved." ā
Ning Hou was shocked, he didn't notice the secret words between Hongchen and his son, and hesitated for a while: "The county lord is suspicious...... This was done by someone from my family? ā
Then he came back to his senses, the body was buried in his own house, the person died in his own house, and the person who did it could still be an outsider?
"But no one in my family has such a deep hatred with Xiao Yin!"
Xue Baiqiao said loudly.
When Xiao Yin died, she was just a little girl, if she wanted to say that she knew some secret and was killed, only Ning Hou had this ability at home, if this was the case, how could she deal with the corpse? Burying in your own home is not sick!
Hongchen spread his hands: "Whether you want to explore the truth or not, you decide." ā
She was suspicious of the people of Ninghou Mansion from the beginning, otherwise she wouldn't have made some ghost hunting game to scare people, but after scaring for a long time, no one really took the bait, although she already had a suspicious candidate.
Ning Hou's face was cloudy and sunny for a long time, but he still squinted: "Check!" ā
He must not tolerate such an inexplicable thing in the house, he can casually kill a small foreign guest that day, and who will die next time, but not necessarily, if such a vicious guy does not find out, he will not be able to sleep at night.
Hongchen sighed, grabbed the soul of the little Yin girl again, ignored her obstruction, pushed her towards the corpse, opened the box again, picked out a jade bottle from it, opened it and sprinkled the contents on the corpse.
"Look at luck, this technique, out of ten times, nine times it didn't work, but I think this one should be able to do it."
Before he finished speaking, a fog suddenly began to rise around him.
Xue Baiqiao was so frightened that he grabbed his father and made his father stumble.
The surrounding environment has changed, but there is only one corner, so that you can see that it is fake, this place, it seems to be the guest house of Ninghou Mansion many years ago.
"Dad, look, Xiaoyin?"
Xiao Yin squatted on a big stone and played with the stone by herself.
"Xiao Yin."
A gentle and gentle call suddenly sounded next to her, and Xiao Yin happily stood up and pounced.
"It's sister-in-law!"
Xue Baiqiao said in astonishment. (To be continued.) )
