At the end of the day, the Su Mansion, which had just turned off the lights, became brightly lit again.

Everyone was crowded in the lobby of the Su Mansion, and there was a stretcher in the middle of the hall, and the third young master of the Yue family, whose whereabouts had been unknown, was lying there, his face was pale, unconscious.

The third young master of the Yue family had a wound on his chest, it was very badly injured, and the flesh around the wound was already inflamed, and it looked like the situation was very bad.

But the wound was rough, and at first glance it was not a knife wound, but rather a blunt object.

The doctor quickly came with a medicine box, and was startled when he saw a large group of people in the lobby, and then looked at the people lying on the ground with pale faces, more air in and less breath, and felt even more pressure.

The doctor wiped his sweat and stepped forward, just about to help the third young master of the Yue family take the pulse, the fifth elder stepped forward, and stood in front of the doctor like a small mountain: "Slow, I can't trust this doctor, I can't let him see my third brother!" ”

Each of the five major families has its own specialty industry, the Gu family is to open a medical hall and sell medicinal materials, and in the entire Lizhou City, the best doctor is their family.

But now the third young master of the Yue family doesn't know who he was injured, and directly using the Gu family's doctor is naturally a great risk.

Old Man Su stood beside him, he was disturbed, and he didn't have any other thoughts, according to Yue Lao Wu's statement: "Since the fifth master can't trust my Gu family, please ask the fifth master to invite Gao Ming." ”

Yue Lao Wu was just about to ask someone to invite his trusted doctor, Chu Huai'an held the stove and said quietly: "Ben Hou thinks that it is more suitable for this doctor of the Gu family to diagnose and treat the third young master of the Yue family!" ”

In the afternoon, he drank a pair of medicines and sweated, and now he feels much better, he is much more energetic, and his speech is more dignified.

"Master Hou, this is openly favoring the Gu family!"

Yue Lao Wu was not convinced, his two thick eyebrows were twisted together, and he was suddenly full of anger, and the servants of the Yue family were all condensed and ready to move.

Chu Huai'an is a fool in Beijing, so he is naturally not afraid of such a scene, he hooked his lips and continued: "Since the eldest lady of the Su family is the most suspicious now, so many pairs of eyes are watching, and people who want to come to the Su family dare not play any tricks, if the third young master of the Yue family makes something wrong in this process, then the Su family is fully responsible!" ”

"What do you mean by Master Hou?"

Su Yue frowned and asked, faintly uneasy, Chu Huai'an raised his chin, his eyes squinted: "Ben Hou means that if something happens to the third young master of the Yue family in the Su family, the Su family should be punished for murder!" ”

"With so many people living in the Su family, how can Master Hou conclude that the murderer is from our Su family?"

Su Yue thought that the people of the four major families had teamed up to bully her as a weak woman, she was obviously in a weak position, how could Chu Huai'an and them stand on her side and make the decision for her.

I didn't expect Chu Huai'an to be so nonsense, Su Yue's tone was a little angry.

"Now the eldest lady of the Su family, you are the most suspicious, if you want to prove your innocence, the only way is to protect the third young master of the Yue family, let him wake up and testify for you, if he dies, either you have a ghost in your heart, and you are not wronged to pay for his life, or the people in your house are not well protected, even if they are framed, you can only blame yourself for your bad life!"

Blame yourself for your bad life? What are these words? Is there such a truth in the world?

Su Yue glared at Chu Huai'an with a pair of beautiful eyes, but Yue Lao Wu laughed loudly: "What Master Hou said is extremely true!" That's how it should be! ”

Chu Huai'an's words reached Yue Lao's five heart barriers, completely dispelled his concerns, and did not stop the doctor, and took the initiative to get out of the way.

The doctor was in a cold sweat, but he didn't expect that in just a few words, the life of the eldest lady of the Su family fell on his shoulders.

If the third young master of the Yue family is a short-lived ghost and dies, won't the eldest lady of the Su family die in vain?

The doctor thought about it, and felt more and more afraid to start, and was hesitating, and was kicked by Yue Lao Wu: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you treat my third brother quickly!" ”

"Ouch......"

The doctor was kicked to the ground and screamed exaggeratedly, Su Yue turned her head to look at Chu Lingxi, and there was water in her eyes: "Does the prince also agree with what the Hou Ye said?" ”

After Su Yue asked, Chu Huaian also turned his head to look at Chu Lingxi, and glanced at Su Li, only to write a few big words on his face: You two dare to dismantle Lao Zitai with a soft heart!

Chu Lingxi and Su Li are both people who have suffered a loss, so they naturally won't pull Chu Huai'an's hind legs at this time.

"What I say is the best way at the moment, and this king thinks it is feasible."

Chu Lingxi said, breaking Su Yue's expectations, Su Yue looked at Su Li again without giving up.

"The county lord thinks the same way?"

Su Yue's voice trembled a little, it seemed to be unbelievable, and she was very disappointed in Su Li, she was also a woman, why couldn't she stand on her side when she saw her being blamed by so many people?

Su Li did not avoid Su Yue's gaze, and looked at her eyes calmly, if Su Zhaoyue stood here, no matter what happened, Su Li would be standing on Su Zhaoyue's side, but unfortunately she was not Su Zhaoyue, but her eyes were very similar.

"Master Hou is not partial to anyone in this statement, I should agree with it."

Su Li replied, Su Yue suddenly became excited for some reason, she pounced on Su Li, Chu Huai'an quickly pulled Su Li behind him, Su Yue pounced in the air, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

She lay on the ground and turned her head to look at Su Li, and her eyes burst out with strong hatred: "Didn't the county lord say that my eyes are like your dearest?" I saw that your eyes at that time seemed to have deep feelings for that loved one, why couldn't you love the house and Wu to say a word for me? My two brothers have died, and my father is very old, if anything happens to me, who will provide for him in his old age? ”

Her accusation is inexplicable and unconvincing, why does Su Li have to speak for her and treat her differently just because of these eyes?

"If the eldest lady has a clear conscience, this case has its own time when it comes to justice, besides, this is in the Su Mansion, and there are so many mansion messengers guarding it, as long as the doctor treats him wholeheartedly, the third young master will definitely not have any mistakes, what is the eldest lady so excited about?"

Su Li's tone was a little indifferent, and the hatred in Su Yue's eyes was even deeper.

The second sister would never look at me like this.

Thinking like this, Su Li suddenly felt that those eyes were incompatible with Su Yue, as if these eyes should not have grown on Su Yue's face at all.

There are people in this world who can uncover people's faces and make people change, will there also be people who can dig up people's organs and transplant them to others?

This thought suddenly popped into her mind, and Su Li was so frightened that she took two steps back, and her back felt cold.

Lu Ji and Chu Lingxi were standing behind her and Chu Huai'an, Su Li retreated, and then retreated to Lu Ji's side, Lu Ji raised his hand and pressed her shoulder: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine!"

Su Li shook her head, and then looked at Su Yue's eyes, but she could no longer look directly, and her hands and feet were cold.

No, it won't!

The body of the second sister was stolen by An Jue, from Xunzhou to Luzhou, these two places are thousands of miles away from Lizhou, so it is impossible to have anything to do with Su Yue!

Su Li kept soothing herself, and her heart was uncontrollably tingling, like a pinprick.

In just such a short time, Su Yue had calmed down her emotions, and when she stood up, there was no hatred in her eyes, and she regained her previous calmness: "The county lord is right, since this is the case, then do what Hou Ye said, and when Yue San Ye wakes up, everything will be revealed." ”

Su Yue said frankly, there was not the slightest worry in that frankness, but she was full of confidence, as if she was sure that the third young master of the Yue family would not wake up, or that she would not say anything unfavorable to her after waking up.

Chu Huai'an smiled and didn't bother with Su Yue anymore, and asked the doctor to check the pulse of the third young master of the Yue family.

The third young master of the Yue family injured his heart, and it happened to be at the critical point, so he did not seek medical attention in time for a few days, and now the situation is very critical, and the doctor said that he can only do his best.

To do your best means to save or not to live depends on luck.

This luck is both the third young master of the Yue family and Su Yue's, if the third young master of the Yue family burps himself, Su Yue can only give him a funeral!

Everyone had nothing to say about Chu Huai'an's decision, Chu Huai'an simply didn't let the third young master of the Yue family move, just put it in this hall, the Su family naturally wanted to keep someone to take care of it, the Yue family left five domestic servants here, Zhao De transferred twenty mansions to send here, in addition, there were Chu Lingxi's guards watching secretly.

At this level of martial law, even if a fly flies by, it can be checked clearly by being pulled by the wings.

Time came in the blink of an eye, Chu Huai'an and the others didn't have to stay up all night here, yawned, and went back to their room first.

When they separated, Lu Ji wanted to say a few words to Su Li, but when he saw Chu Huai'an holding Su Li's shoulder, he was very close, and swallowed it back.

It's just that some things are no longer his turn to worry about.

Chu Huai'an and Su Li went back to the room, and as soon as they closed the door, their hands were tightly held.

"Why are your hands so cold?"

Chu Huai'an asked, from the beginning he found that Su Li's face was wrong, and he looked uneasy.

He was already hot, and he kept holding the stove, the temperature of his palm was much higher than that of ordinary people, and when he touched Su Li's cold hand, he naturally felt abnormal.

"It's Master Hou, your hands are too hot."

Su Li replied, her tone was careless, and she was still thinking about the way Su Yue looked at her just now.

"You have been like this since the eldest lady of the Su family glared at you just now, and you can't see it because I'm sick?" Chu Huai'an pierced Su Li's thoughts, and Su Li pursed her lips and didn't speak.

Chu Huai'an couldn't help but hold her hand tighter: "In the near future, I will be your husband, the most important thing between husband and wife is to be honest, if there is anything, you don't have to hide it from me, no matter what happens, I will be on your side!" ”

He said it very sincerely and seriously, and easily moved Su Li.

Su Li looked at him, suddenly fragile, so fragile that she wanted to cry.

"Chu Huai'an, did your subordinates really not find the bones of the second sister?"

Su Li asked, her eyes red, shining, confused and helpless.

Chu Huai'an couldn't see her appearance the most now, and hurriedly pressed her into his arms to comfort: "I'll find it!" I'll help you find her! ”

On the battlefield, his shoulders seem to be much wider than before, and his chest has become harder, which makes people trust.

Su Li reached out and grabbed the placket of his clothes: "Su Yue's eyes are very similar to the eyes of the second sister, and a very terrible thought suddenly popped into my mind just now. ”

As she spoke, Su Li's hands trembled, and her whole body trembled slightly.

She was genuinely frightened by the thought of herself.

"I was just wondering, will Su Yue's eyes ...... Could it be that it was ripped off the bones of the second sister! ”

Su Li trembled even more after speaking.

She also knew that her conjecture was abrupt and inexplicable, but after it came out, it took root in her mind uncontrollably, making her unable to look directly at Su Yue anymore.

If it was really as she thought, how should she face the second sister's spirit in the sky?

Chu Huai'an was also taken aback by Su Li's conjecture.

How could anyone in this world gouge out the eyes of a dead man and put them on himself? Don't you feel panicked?

If ordinary people heard Su Li's words just now, they would definitely refute her crankiness, but Chu Huai'an didn't, he knew Su Li, she was so scared, it must be because she had some kind of strong premonition.

That kind of premonition may come from the bond of blood, or maybe it is a reminder that Su Zhaoyue's undead cannot rest in peace.

She didn't have any basis, but after such a ridiculous idea came out, it made her heart palpitate.

"No, it won't."

Chu Huai'an hugged Su Li to comfort, no matter how strong her intuition was, he had to firmly veto it in order to calm her down.

"What if it's true......"

"I'll cut them for you!"

He knew how important Su Zhaoyue was to her, and he also knew what to do to relieve the hatred in her heart.

Su Li's mood stabilized after a while, Chu Huaian put her on the bed and reached out to help her undress, and Su Li suddenly reacted that they were going to be in the same room tonight.

Su Li grabbed her collar and looked at Chu Huai'an with a wary expression.

"You take it off yourself?"

“……”

Wouldn't it be too hypocritical to ask him to turn around at this time?

Su Li raised her hand to unbuckle a coil, and Chu Huaian stood by the bed and watched, and the atmosphere suddenly heated up.

Su Li's face was hot, she lowered her head slightly to avoid his gaze, took off her clothes, and lay down in her middle coat to cover the quilt.

It's not that she hasn't eaten and slept with people in the army, and she and Lu Ji can be regarded as getting along day and night, but at that time, Su Li was very calm, unlike when she was with Chu Huai'an, she would blush and heartbeat.

Seeing her lying down, Chu Huai'an also began to undress, Su Li obviously didn't look at him, but he could still see his movements.

The chilblains on his hands were almost as good as they were, and the fingers that unbuckled were particularly slender and beautiful, with a strange temptation.

Su Li turned her back to him uncomfortably, but instead saw the movements of the black shadow projected on the wall more and more clearly.

"Blow the lamp!"

Su Li reminded in a whisper, and after a while, Chu Huai'an blew out the lamp.

The room suddenly became dark, and Su Li heard him approaching the bed step by step, lifting the quilt and going to bed, then his broad chest pressed against her back, and his strong arms were also across her waist.

The heart slammed into the chest, and Su Li just wanted to push it away, but heard him whisper in a nasal voice: "Sleep in peace, no matter what happens, I'm still here." ”

"Okay."

Because of his words, Su Li quickly relaxed, he was hot, and his blood was strong, and the whole person was warm, which quickly made Su Li feel sleepy.

Hearing that her breathing gradually stabilized, Chu Huai was slightly relieved, and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he suddenly smelled a strange sweet smell in the air.

It's ecstasy!

Chu Huai'an quickly covered his mouth and nose, but he was still a step slower, he had already inhaled it to his heart, and his brain became drowsy uncontrollably.

He struggled to resist and refused to pass out, and vaguely heard someone pry open the deadbolt.

Who?

He wanted to see who the man was, but he couldn't open his eyes.

A-Li!

Biting the tip of his tongue with all his might, he barely regained a trace of clarity and struggled to open his eyes, a silver light flashed in front of him, followed by the crisp sound of blades clashing.

Hu He wore a mask and blocked the door with a long sword in his right hand.

The gentle moonlight poured down, coating both the mask and the blade with a layer of cold killing.

He looked at the person who broke into the house with his intact eyes, and the corners of his lips cracked into a sinister smile, and the smile was clear, like a Shura or a ghost.

The person who broke into the house was wearing a pitch-black night raid suit, covered with a black cloth, petite, the night raid suit tightly wrapped around the body, and the concave and convex curves were faintly visible, it was a woman, but her age was not very large.

The woman was holding a small dagger in her hand, she didn't expect to suddenly kill a Cheng Biting Jin, her eyes widened slightly, but she was not afraid at all, she raised her hand and threw the hidden weapon at Hu He, Hu He avoided it sideways, picked it with a sword, tore off the hem of her clothes, and the next moment, the unknown medicinal powder spread in the air.

Hu He held his breath and concentrated, grabbed the corner of the hem of his clothes and quickly spun it up, blocking the medicine powder into the hem of his clothes, and at the same time lifting his sword next to the oblique side, he heard a poof, and the woman was picked by his sword.

Hu He did not hesitate, drew his sword neatly, the sword that reflected the cold light was stained with red blood, and the woman leaned against the door with her waist and abdomen and glared at Hu He viciously, her eyes were cold and sad, like a female ghost.

Hu He threw the hem of his clothes aside, and said indifferently: "Carving insect skills!" ”

He had seen much more than that, and these methods seemed to him completely unacceptable.

The sword wounded deeply, and the woman had a premonition that she would not be able to leave here alive tonight, so she tore off the strip of cloth to wrap the wound around, and attacked Hu He again.

If Lu Ji and Chu Huai'an were here, they would also make one or two moves for the sake of her being a woman, but Hu He was completely ruthless, not only did he not give in the slightest, but he also wanted to kill her!

In terms of strength and martial arts sophistication, women are far inferior to Hu He, every time they want to use some tricks, they will be perceived and resolved by Hu He in advance, and the woman was soon forced by Hu He to have no room to fight back.

The woman was kicked to the ground by Hu He and couldn't get up, Hu He raised his sword and flew over, and the woman said coldly: "You can't kill me!" ”

The voice is still a little immature.

At the same time, Chu Huai'an's voice sounded behind him: "Gu Jiong, stay alive!" ”

A hint of pride flashed in the woman's eyes when she heard the voice, but that smugness became the last expression she left in this world.

Hu He's sword was not affected in any way, it pierced her heart directly, and the woman even heard the sound of the sword body stirring in her chest, ruthless and fierce.

Chu Huai'an stumbled over, only to see a dead body.

"She didn't have any room to fight back just now, why didn't she leave her mouth alive to ask?"

Chu Huai'an asked, his tone was a little eager, the effect of the drug had not passed, and his brain was still dizzy.

Hu He glanced at him obliquely, his eyes were red, like some kind of cold-blooded animal, without the slightest emotion, only killing, a monster or a murderous maniac.

Chu Huai'an was so cold in his heart that he saw it, he sobered up a little, put aside the woman's life or death, and said, "How do you know that someone will come here tonight?" What about the surrounding guards? ”

"Just like you."

Hu He only said these four words and left with his sword, Chu Huai'an originally wanted to ask him what he thought about this case, but seeing that he was not in a good mood at this time, he didn't force him to follow, and after a while, a guard ran over.

"The subordinates accidentally fell into the drug of the gangsters and failed to protect the Hou Ye, please forgive the Hou Ye!"

"It's okay, be vigilant in the future." Chu Huai'an said lightly, he didn't mean to blame, and looked at the corpse on the ground again: "You check the corpse first, pay attention to safety, there may be a hidden weapon hidden on the corpse, it's too late today, let's carry it to the lobby early tomorrow morning for people to identify." ”

"Yes!"

Back in the room, the smell of ecstasy incense in the room had dissipated, because of the medicine, Su Li slept soundly and didn't wake up at all.

Chu Huai'an got on the bed and scooped her into his arms, his expression cold.

The real murderer behind this scene, if he didn't touch the third young master of the Yue family, he came to attack Su Li in the middle of the night, I am afraid that he will plant this murder case on Su Li, and then use the excuse that Su Li has been punished by Jiang Shen, everyone should not mention this matter again, and if Jiang Shen is unhappy, he will be able to fool this matter over.

Thinking of this possibility, Chu Huai'an's face was full of anger, no matter whether this Jiang God was a human or a ghost, he must take him out and take a look!

Early in the morning of the second day, everyone was summoned to the side hall, and there was still the body of the maid named Xizhu parked in the side hall, and now there was another female corpse.

The female corpse was dressed in a night raid suit, her clothes had long been soaked with blood, and the black cloth covering her face had been removed, revealing a plain and pale face, which looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and had not yet reached the age of twelve.

After a sleep, Chu Huai'an's wind and cold were almost all gone, and today he was more energetic, he stood in the room with a calm face and a serious expression.

"Last night, this woman tried to murder Ben Hou and was killed on the spot, who of you knows her?"

Chu Lingxi and Lu Ji had heard about last night's incident, but they didn't expect these people to be so bold, and their faces were equally solemn.

Everyone was shocked, what was going on? How could anyone murder Xiaoyaohou? Are they crazy?

The people of several major families looked left and right, all of them looked puzzled, Chu Huai'an's eyes swept over everyone present, refusing to let go of any change in expression on their faces.

Just as he was thinking, someone whispered, "Look at her little thumb!" ”

With this whisper, everyone's eyes were focused on the woman's hand.

The woman's hand was very delicate, and after a night of parking, the little finger was corrupted, and the whole finger turned black and fell off, revealing a neat black section, as if someone had cut off the finger.

"She's a goddess!"

The eldest young master of the Wang family roared, and everyone took a step back when they heard the sound, as if they had seen something very bad.

Chu Huai'an stood still, and Chu Lingxi said suspiciously: "What is a goddess?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, silent, Chu Lingxi frowned: "Call Zhao De!" ”

Zhao De soon ran over, saw that there were more corpses in the house, and complained in his heart, so he hurriedly knelt down.

"The lower official meets ......"

"No need to be polite, this king wants to ask Lord Zhao, in Lizhou City, who will be called a goddess?"

“……”

The corners of Zhao De's lips twitched, and he glanced at the corpse, and after seeing the rotten severed finger, his face also changed.

Yesterday, he told all the things about the faceless corpse, and it was clear that he chose to stand on the side of the imperial court, and today he naturally can't be vague anymore.

"Back to the prince, the goddess refers to the girl who serves by the elder's side, they are generally selected by the elder himself, generally the young girl is ten years old, the selected girl will be sent to the elder after the elder's practice, and wait for the elder to live, and when it is time to meet, the elder will do it again, and tell the river god, and the river god will be ignited and ascended."

"Ascension?"

"Yes, after the ascension, the goddess will be ranked in the immortal class, and she is no longer a mortal."

Oh, just serving the elders can soar, so the elders work so hard, how can they still be ordinary people?

"Have any of you seen those girls soar?"

Lu Ji, who had been listening, asked in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at each other and was asked, but a slightly older servant of the Su family spoke: "I have seen that every time the goddess wants to ascend, she will be sunk into the river first, so that the river god will be ignited, and after the ignition, the river will be filled with white mist, and this is the goddess ascending." ”

"In other words, you only saw the white fog, but not the goddess herself?"

Lu Ji's brows furrowed even tighter, but these people didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, and said confidently: "Since the goddess is already an immortal, where can we easily see it?" ”

"You are blatantly disregarding human life!"

Chu Lingxi couldn't listen to it anymore, he had never heard of sinking people into the river to make people soar, this was obviously harming people's lives, but the people of the entire Lizhou City were fooled and brainwashed, and felt that this was a very sacred thing that people yearn for.

Chu Lingxi was really angry, at the beginning, he advocated breaking the Lizhou sacrifice to the river with living people, and thought that he had done a good thing for the people of Lijiang, and he could afford the name of King Huaiyang, but he didn't expect that under his nose, the true face of Lijiang City was like this.

I don't know how many unjust souls are crying day and night in the Li River, but no one hears them.

"Lord Wang, the goddesses were sent to the elders voluntarily by each family, and they were very calm when they were sunk into the river, they didn't cry and struggle, after they died, their family lives all changed for the better, how can this be a matter of careless human life?"

"That's it! If I have a daughter, I want the elders to be chosen to serve them! ”

Everyone retorted, and their faces were full of disapproval.

The rich and noble families have a group of wives and concubines, many heirs, and their daughters are pampered like babies, but in poor families, daughters are dragged down, and they have to marry into other people's families when they grow up, and if their daughters are not angry and marry badly, they have to put in some dowry for nothing, and over time, they have formed the idea of patriarchy.

Didn't these people really guess whether the goddess had really ascended or died?

But what does it matter?

What is not worth it to exchange a daughter who has lost money for the glory and wealth of a family?

It's a big deal to burn more paper money for her behind her back, so as not to let her be wronged underneath, wouldn't it be good?

Everyone had such thoughts in their hearts, Chu Lingxi was furious, and Zhao De said again: "The goddess has always represented the elders, how could she die mysteriously?" Who killed the goddess? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone quieted down and turned their eyes to Chu Huai'an.

Did the elder follow the will of the Jiang God to get rid of the Marquis of Xiaoyao?

The atmosphere became delicate, but the young master of the Wang family suddenly spoke: "I remember that Master Hou and Mrs. Hou live together." ”

He only said this sentence, and didn't speculate too much, but everyone was enlightened all of a sudden.

Yes!

How could the elder suddenly want to kill Xiaoyaohou, it was obvious that Mrs. Xiaoyaohou was disrespectful to Jiang Shen first, and it was only after colliding with Jiang Shen that she would cause so many incidents now!
