There was such a big commotion at the door, and there was no Zhang Shilang who could call the shots, so he immediately ran to the courtyard where Mrs. Zhang lived. She looked in curiously, and a large banyan tree in front of the porch covered with a thick green cover blocked most of the sunlight, and a gust of wind blew, and the shadows of the trees on the bluestone pavement swayed incessantly, like thousands of invisible arms dancing at the same time. In the past, I only thought that the big banyan tree was growing very well, but today it inexplicably reveals a gloomy and weird.

Although the Wang steward's family is now temporarily taking care of the injured housekeeper and mother-in-law at home, and has neglected the management of the backyard, there will definitely be no shortage of people to serve in the lady's yard.

Looking at the lively courtyard in the past, there is no sound at the moment. The little maid muttered secretly in her heart, could it be that those people ran out to play when they saw that their wife was seriously ill and couldn't get up?

The little maid pursed her lips disdainfully and stepped into the courtyard. Mrs. Zhang's prestige in the mansion was very heavy, she didn't dare to go to Mrs. Zhang to show her eyes, so she only ran to the door of the pantry on the side and shouted in a low voice: "But which sister is inside?" She shouted halfway, but there was still no sound in it. She gritted her teeth, simply lifted the curtain and walked in.

The pantry is not big, you can see the bottom at a glance, and you can see that on a long collapse in the middle, there are two figures wearing red and green lying faintly on the side, but they are all lying inside, standing at the door, you can only see the back of their black crows.

Seeing that they were actually sleeping in broad daylight, the little maid muttered dissatisfiedly: "Sure enough, while the lady is seriously ill, she hides here and is lazy!" ”

But when she saw a familiar figure, her original heart was relaxed. So he ran over briskly, shook the shoulder of the maid sleeping outside, and said, "Wake up." I have something urgent to find my wife."

As she swayed, the maid who was lying on her side slowly turned her head, what kind of face was it. Sallow, distorted, frightened, a pair of originally smart eyes opened wide at the moment, and they were covered with bloodshots. There was a sense of death. Her hands were clasped tightly around her neck, the tip of her pale purple tongue spitting out slightly, and thick, bright red blood ran down the corners of her eyes. The corners of the mouth, the nostrils, slowly slide outward.

"Ah" A terrible and frightened scream sounded in the sky above Zhang's mansion, making the whole heart tremble involuntarily when he heard it.

Guo Chengsi had just led everyone to break through the gate of Zhang's Mansion at this moment. Broke in. Hearing this exclamation, his brow furrowed. A bad premonition hit me. He immediately turned over and dismounted, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did this scream come from?" ”

The servant who was forced to open the door was also frightened by the scream, and he stammered, 'Listen, listen, it sounds like it's coming from the inner court. ”

Guo Chengsi immediately ordered: "Rongxi, you take people to guard all the gates of the Zhang Mansion that can enter and exit, and no one is allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to come in." You guys follow me. Let's go to the inner courtyard and have a look! ”

Among the people who were ordered by Guo Chengsi also included Zhong Ziyuan, who came to watch the excitement together, and she quietly rolled her eyes. still honestly followed behind Guo Chengsi.

The backyard of Zhang's mansion was in a panic at the moment, and many maids and women were running around in fear like headless flies. Guo Chengsi made a look, and Duan Ling immediately stepped forward and grabbed a mother-in-law wearing a maroon round-necked bibi and escorted it to him.

Guo Chengsi's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at her tightly, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" ”

The woman knelt on the ground, her old face was pale, and her whole body was trembling. She trembled for a long time before she could speak: "Old, master, madam, and Aunt Bi are all gone." There are only two big maids left in the yard of the lady, they, they"

"What's wrong with them?" Guo Chengsi asked with a sharp shout.

The mother-in-law's eyes widened, she licked her dry lips, and said in a trembling voice: "They, they strangled themselves to death" strangled themselves to death? Guo Chengsi had never heard of such a strange death in the prison for so long, and his brows gradually frowned.

The mother-in-law's words were like a strange spell, which made the originally chaotic crowd a lot quieter in an instant. At this time, a gust of autumn wind whistled and blew, rolling up the dead leaves on the ground and rustling, revealing a biting chill. Those maids and mothers-in-law gathered together in fear, and it seemed that only the strength of the crowd could suppress the panic in their hearts.

The mother-in-law sat on the ground, as if she was caught in a nightmare, and kept muttering: "Zhang Mansion is finally entangled by those unjust souls, they are coming to take revenge, Zhang Mansion is going to be finished, it is going to be finished" On the ground where she was sitting, a pale yellow suspicious water stain slowly spread, followed by a faint smell.

Zhong Ziyuan saw that her eyes were dilated, and she hurriedly whispered to Guo Chengsi: "If it goes on like this, she is afraid that she will lose her mind and go crazy, and she will soon faint." ”

Duan Ling didn't wait for Guo Chenghe's order, he immediately stepped forward and slashed at the woman's stamina with a knife. The mother-in-law rolled her eyes and fainted cleanly, which immediately caused a small exclamation from a group of maids around her.

Guo Chengsi frowned and ordered: "Come a few people and carry this woman away." ”

After hesitating for a moment, a few people who usually had a good relationship with the woman finally came out of the crowd, and a few of them lifted the woman together and wanted to leave. Guo Chengsi suddenly asked: "What is this mother-in-law responsible for in the house?" ”

Someone replied respectfully: "If you go back to your lordship, this mother-in-law is responsible for watching the corner gate in the lady's courtyard." ”

"Alright, let's go down!" Guo Chengsi waved his hand.

After those people retreated, Zhong Ziyuan said thoughtfully: "I see that although the others are frightened, they are not scared like this. It seems that this mother-in-law is guarding the corner door of the lady and has seen a lot of secrets in this house. ”

Zhu Fei's handsome face was full of sarcasm, and he sneered: "Didn't you see the silver home remedies on her head and the shrimp beard gold bracelet on her hand?" A mother-in-law who watches the corner door has such a face, and she is obviously fed. ”

Zhong Ziyuan was dumbfounded, but Guo Chengsi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go to the lady's yard and have a look."

In the pantry, the table was overturned, two round wooden embroidery piers were poured, and tea and snacks were scattered on the ground. Many snacks were also crushed by people. Looking at the messy footprints on the ground, Guo Chengsi sighed and said, "It's a step too late." ”

Although Zhong Ziyuan doesn't know anything about solving cases, she likes to watch some case-solving films the most in her previous life, and she has learned a few tricks. She knew that Guo Chengsi was regretting that the environment at the scene of the crime had been destroyed.

However, since it has been destroyed, Guo Chengsi has no choice, he can only let everyone guard the door, and no longer let the idlers and others trespass without permission, and he will take Duan Ling to prepare to come forward to take a look.

Zhong Ziyuan immediately pulled out his sleeve and begged, "I'll go and take a look." (To be continued......)
