Chapter 155: Fearless
Five visceral Taoist temples.
In the backyard of a private residence.
A thick stone pillar of the water tank made of blue bricks, deeply rooted in the ground, stands in the courtyard, bang!
The dull tremors, one after the other, were endless, the momentum was shocking, and the horror was terrifying.
It was as if some giant beast was crashing one after another, and even the ground trembled slightly.
"Eight Extremes Shape Yiquan"!
Bear backrest!
Under the restrained and lean explosive power muscles, it seems that there is a huge brown bear with infinite head power, and Jin An, who has been smeared with dragon and tiger medicinal wine, bears back boulders again and again, constantly boiling, and tempering his external skills.
The bear rubbed the tree, either dead or disabled.
It is used to describe Jin An, who is practicing martial arts idiots at the moment, and it couldn't be more appropriate.
After stepping into the ranks of first-class masters with a horizontal practice of external skills, Jin An has changed from rubbing trees to rubbing stones.
This stone pillar made of thousands of blue bricks was erected in the backyard of the Taoist temple by Jin'an without spending manpower, material and financial resources.
Just glutinous rice juice and mirage (shรจn) ash are used to lay bricks, and when you hear it, it is very labor-intensive, material, and extravagant.
And this really took a lot of Jin'an's thoughts.
Mirage is a lime material that is simply extracted from clam shells.
Just when Jin An was sweating like rain and practicing the "Eight Extremes Xingyi Fist", Lao Dao walked into the backyard.
"Little brother, I still think that you don't look like a bear back at all, but more like an old cow cart. The old Taoist priest snorted.
"Mrs. Niu, who belongs to the zodiac ox, doesn't dare to move when she sees you. โ
โ๏ผโ
Jin An's face darkened.
Seeing that Jin An's face was wrong, the old Taoist priest hurriedly diverted Jin An's attention: "Little brother, do you remember the eldest lady in He Mansion last time?"
"Hefu is dead. โ
Hearing this, Jin An stopped practicing, picked up the sweat towel next to him and wiped his sweaty head, and then asked the old Taoist priest what was going on?
After listening to the words of the old Taoist, Jin An did not hesitate and agreed to go to Hefu.
Of course, he didn't do it for He Fu's generous remuneration, but recently because of his cultivation, the expenses were too great, and he was about to lose his money.
It's to avoid saving Uncle Lin's face.
Anyway, it is also the person introduced by Uncle Lin.
Jin An, the old Taoist priest and the maid beside Mrs. He can be regarded as having a relationship, and after meeting, they went straight to He's mansion.
As for sharpening the sword, Jin An stayed in the Taoist temple and continued to be a salted fish in a daze, helping to watch the Taoist temple by the way.
Of course.
The main reason is that the sword sharpening is a black household, and it can't withstand the investigation of emergencies on the road.
......
......
This is the first time Jin An has come to He Mansion.
Although the He Mansion was magnificently built, Jin An behaved normally, and there was no great surprise, nor was He Mansion frightened.
"Daochang Chen, Daochang Jin'an, the person who died this time was a subordinate in the He Mansion, named Xu Hong, who was a little maid who was waiting for the third lady. โ
Along the way, the maid explained what had happened.
And Jin An finally knew the maid's name, called Xiaolian.
"Xu Hong is the third lady's maid, she entered the He Mansion to serve the third miss at the age of six or seven, she is the personal slave of the third lady, taking care of the third lady's diet and daily life, and usually sleeps with the third miss. โ
As a result, Miss San woke up first this morning, but Xu Hong overslept and did not wake up early to fetch hot water for Miss San to wash and comb her hair. The third miss and Xu Hong grew up together since childhood, and they had a good relationship, thinking that Xu Hong was unwell and accidentally overslept, the third miss was kind-hearted, out of concern for Xu Hong, so she didn't wake up Xu Hong, and let Xu Hong sleep for a while first. โ
"Where do you know ......"
When the third miss finished breakfast and returned to the boudoir, Xu Hong hadn't woken up yet, so the third miss went to wake Xu Hong... When the third lady's hand touched Xu Hong, Xu Hong, who was lying on the bed covered with a mattress, her body was stiff and cold, and she had been dead for a long time......"
The maid Xiaolian said as she spoke, her eyes red and sobbed softly.
Maybe it's because of the same disease, after all, they are all maids who serve in Hefu, and their feelings in private should be good.
The maid Xiaolian led the way in front, and the residence of Miss He Fusan was an elegant courtyard.
The courtyard environment is quiet, planted a few strange flowers and plants and a begonia tree, now is the flowering season of the begonia tree, the flowers are like a brocade, like a deep boudoir woman rouge, meaning beautiful.
It's a pity that at this time, the atmosphere in this small courtyard is dull and serious, and the courtyard with knives of more than a dozen big men has destroyed the quiet and elegant atmosphere of this kind of woman's deep boudoir.
The maid Xiaolian is the personal maid who serves the eldest lady of He Mansion, and many people in He Mansion know her.
"Miss Xiaolian, who are these two?"
In these nursing homes, a big fat man with a big belly stood out, looked at Jin An and the old Taoist priest in a dull voice, and asked.
Jin An looked at the pot-bellied middle-aged man in front of him, how did he feel that this person didn't look like a nurse, but a relationship who didn't go through the front door and went through the back door?
It's not like a nursing home at all.
However, although this person is fat, Jin An is also a martial arts practitioner, and he can still see that the other party is a practitioner.
It's not exactly a sake bag and a rice bag.
"Brother Li, these two are Dao Chang who are here to do things for Xu Hong, this is Dao Chang Chen, and this is Dao Chang Jin'an. โ
The maid Xiaolian introduced.
The things that literati are light on, no matter what industry they are in, also exist.
Looking at the order of the introduction of the maid Xiaolian, it can be seen that she has always thought that the old Taoist priest is the person in charge of the Taoist Temple of the Five Organs.
and regarded Jin An as a disciple of an old Taoist priest.
It's also strange to say, the death of a subordinate can alarm the personal maid next to the eldest lady?
Could it be that the death of this subordinate is not simple in the eyes of the eldest lady......
Thinking of the eldest lady going to Uncle Lin's coffin shop that day, it was because there was an unfortunate incident in He Mansion and she wanted to find a master to exorcise evil spirits, could it be that the eldest lady was suspicious of Xu Hong's death?
The big fat man surnamed Li nursed the hospital, and after listening to the words of the maid Xiaolian, he did not make it difficult and directly let him pass.
This third miss of the He family, naturally not in the attic of this small courtyard, out of the dead man, and slept with the dead man for one night, this third miss of the He family is estimated to have been scared out of the psychological shadow, and will move out of this small courtyard in the future, and will not come back to live.
So when entering the attic, the entire attic was empty except for a few nurses standing at the door, except for Xu Hong, who died on the bed in the room on the first floor.
The entire attic has two floors.
The first floor is occupied by the next person.
On the second floor is the boudoir of the third lady.
Xu Hong's corpse still maintained its former appearance, lying on the bed and staying asleep.
There were no obvious external injuries, no signs of struggle and resistance, and no signs of struggle with the gangsters on the bed.
It looks like an ordinary sudden death from exertion or an illness.
"Supreme Taiyi Du Er Tianzun. โ
The old Taoist priest saluted the deceased, and then said to Jin An: "Little brother, look at this girl named Xu Hong, she frowned before she died, if a person died in the sleeping town, I'm afraid that dreamland must be a nightmare." โ
The following autopsy was like further verifying the old Taoist's conjecture.
Xu Hong's corpse was not only frowning, but his small hands were clenched into fists, and his insteps were arched forward.
It's all very much like the body's reaction when people are under stress.
"Daoist Chen, Daoist Jin'an, then may I ask which color coffin should be used for Xu Hong's corpse? Is it a white coffin? or a black coffin? I will let someone go to Mr. Lin's store to buy a coffin for Xu Hong's corpse. โ
The maid Xiaolian listened to the conversation between the old Taoist priest and Jin An, and asked in a low voice.
Jin An said that he was not in a hurry to arrange the coffin first, because he felt that Xu Hong's corpse was a little strange.
When the old Taoist priest heard Jin An's words, he slapped his thigh violently and shouted: "Little brother, it turns out that you are not the only ones who can see that there is something wrong with Miss Xu Hong's body. I have always felt that there was something wrong with Miss Xu Hong's body, but I couldn't tell what was wrong for a while. โ
Jin An was speechless by the old Taoist priest who always liked to babble.
He turned to continue to inspect Xu Hong's body, and Jin An was not because the eldest lady of the He family was in front, so he had a preconceived idea that Xu Hong's body was problematic.
It's that he did look at Xu Hong's corpse, what was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.
I always feel that Xu Hong's body is a little asymmetrical and awkward.
"Little brother, you said that He Fu's bed clothes are really interestingly cut, and the waistline is so fat and loose. Is this the person in charge of procurement in He Fu, who subcontracted and ate kickbacks layer by layer, and finally transferred it to a dumbfounded tailor shop... Actually cut the bedding clothes so unevenly. โ
The old Taoist priest carried the maid Xiaolian on his back and said secretly to Jin An.
Xu Hong on the bed fell asleep in bedclothes, and indeed as the old Taoist priest said, the upper part was proportioned normally and cut properly, but the waist and abdomen were loose.
Jin An was reminded by the old Taoist priest like this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and the person stepped forward and lifted the corner of Xu Hong's bedclothes.
Jin An's caressing measures scared the old Taoist so much that he almost bit his tongue, and the maid Xiaolian on the side was also stunned.
But Jin An quickly frowned again and put down the corner of his bedclothes.
"Could it be that I'm thinking too much?"
Jin An thought about it, and pressed it on Xu Hong's stomach through his bedclothes.
Unexpectedly, with such a press, Jin An's complexion changed, and his face turned solemn.
"Old Dao, you try to press Xu Hong's abdomen. Jin An turned his head to the old Taoist priest and said solemnly.
The old Taoist priest saw that Jin An's face was serious, so he recited another sentence, "Supreme Taiyi Du Er Tianzun", and then reached out to press Xu Hong's belly.
Outcome!
The old Taoist priest's face also changed greatly!
"Little brother, this Xu Hong's belly ......" The old Taoist priest looked at Jin An in shock, the two glanced at each other, and a crazy thought appeared in their minds at the same time.
This scene, on the contrary, made the maid Xiaolian on the side confused.
Out of curiosity, the maid Xiaolian was bold, covered her eyes with her little hands, only showed a little between her fingers, and secretly glanced at Xu Hong's corpse on the bed.
It was this look that made the maid Xiaolian's face turn white with fright.
Because at this time, Jin An and the old Taoist priest further confirmed with a solemn expression, and after lifting Xu Hong's bedclothes, they pressed on the complete skin of Xu Hong's corpse, and as a result, Xu Hong's stomach was actually shriveled and sunken down a large piece, as if the internal organs in the abdominal cavity were gone, and the abdominal cavity was not stuffed with internal organs like a normal corpse.
"This ......"
"Chen, Daochang Chen, Jin, Daoist Jin'an, what the hell is this... What's going on?"
The maid Xiaolian was really frightened now, if Xu Hong's internal organs were lost, then how did she lose them?
Jin An looked at the maid Xiaolian with a solemn expression: "Miss Xiaolian, I suggest that this matter should be reported to the official, we initially suspect that Miss Xu Hong's death is not as simple as it seems, it should not be that she was sick and died." โ
"Only by letting the maid open Miss Xu Hong's stomach and look at the flesh and intestines in Miss Xu Hong's stomach can we know the real cause of Miss Xu Hong's death. โ
"In addition, you tell your wife to prepare a black coffin for Xu Hong. โ
Jin An's words directly scared the little girl's maid Xiaolian, she didn't dare to call the shots for such a big matter, she first looked at the old Taoist priest at a loss, and saw the old Taoist priest nodding and said that she listened to Jin An, so she hurriedly ran to report to the eldest lady.
Because of the presence of the He family, the government's work effect this time is much higher.
No matter where they go, the elite class is given the privilege of special affairs, and they are inherently different from the common people, and the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, which is just a full ideal.
Soon, someone from the government came, carried away Xu Hong's body, and prepared to take it to the Yamen mortuary to dissect the body.
The people of the yamen walked in front of them carrying the black coffin, but Jin An and the old Taoist priest did not follow, because the old Taoist priest stayed behind and had to do things and overlive the soul.
When the old Taoist priest finished doing the Dharma and reciting the scriptures, it was almost dusk, and at this time, an old housekeeper from He Mansion politely came over to invite Jin An and the old Taoist priest to dinner.
"Daochang Chen, the ritual has already been done, can I take Xu Hong's clothes and bedding and burn them now? They are all from the Huanyi room, and they came to clean up the clothes and bedding that Miss Xu Hong wore and used before her death. โ
The old housekeeper of He Mansion said politely.
With the introduction of the old housekeeper, he was followed by several people, an old lady with six people from He Fu.
Large families are more taboo about the dead, and He Fu wants to burn the things Xu Hong used before his death, also out of some folk customs.
The old Taoist priest did not prevent the people from the Huanyi room from entering the courtyard.
It's just that when one of the girls passed by the old Taoist, the old Taoist suddenly let out a sigh of surprise, as if he had been surprised to find something, just when the old Taoist priest was thinking, the people in the Huanyi room had already entered the attic under the leadership of the old lady who took the lead.
"Old Dao, what's wrong, have you found anything?" Jin An'an asked quietly with a move of his head.
The old Taoist priest replied in a low voice: "Just now, Lao Dao, I saw that there was a black gas covering the Baoshou Palace, lifeless, and she was about to rush out, which means that in a few days, she will have a life and death catastrophe." Looking at the black mark on the white of her eye, I am afraid that this life and death calamity is related to unclean things. โ
"There's something unclean coming in here. โ
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he thought with a puzzled face: "But when the old Taoist entered Hefu, he saw the feng shui of Hefu, which was a feng shui bureau under the guidance of a master, and along the way I saw a lot of Taoist and Buddhist magic weapons. โ
"It's really strange, what kind of shady, unclean thing got into the house?"
Just when the old Taoist priest was puzzled, the yamen was working there under the special case, and the efficiency was surprisingly fast, and before the dusk was over, someone from the yamen came and said that Xu Hong's autopsy had already resulted......
