Jiang Liu stood at his door, looking at the lantern with the peony pattern outlined in Phnom Penh, he would never admit his mistake, and he also wanted the eight conjuring flags planted on the eaves.

"Little master, you can count it back. Something big is going on in the family! The housekeeper looked at Jiang Liu, who was standing at the door in a daze, and ran out with a sad face.

Jiang Liu was already stunned in place, and when the housekeeper saw Jiang Liu, he cried even more sadly, "Little family master, master, he died violently!" ”

At this time, Jiang Ming and the others reacted, why Jiang Liu was suddenly stunned, it turned out to be such a misfortune at home, hey! After Jiang Liu recovered slightly, he ran into the inner courtyard like crazy, and the other five people followed. The head of the Jiang family died suddenly, what a big deal, the whole family was sad, and the sound of crying and mourning was endless.

The Jiang family is worthy of being the richest family in Great Xia, and the mansion alone occupies half of Tongyao Town. After entering, the furnishings and decorations in the house are in accordance with the specifications of the royal family and nobles of the current dynasty.

Jiang Liu ran all the way to his father's bedroom with tears in his eyes, pushed open the door, and heard the cries of a room of wives and concubines. After they saw Jiang Liu, they shouted something one after another. After all, Jiang Liu is the future head of the Jiang family, and his biological mother passed away when he was very young, and Jiang Baichuan's aunts and wives have regarded Jiang Liu as their own since childhood. I look forward to the day when the Jiang family changes hands, so that there is a good place to rely on, and the status and glory and wealth can be as always.

"Shut up!" Jiang Liu couldn't stand the crying and crying of these women, and scolded angrily, "Get out!" ”

"Liu'er." The third wife, who thought she was closest to Jiang Liu, called softly.

"Get out!"

When everyone saw this, they wept and left the old man's bedroom. The crowd dispersed, and the room fell silent. It's like a cold winter in the night, without the slightest sound, and everything is silent. Jiang Liu remembered that when his father was asleep, there was a loud snoring sound, like a low spring in the mountains. My father is not honest when he sleeps, he always likes to turn over, and when he sees himself, he will always laugh happily!

Now, however, he must have made no sound and slept quietly.

Jiang Liu thought about it, and tears quietly rushed out of his eyes and smashed on the ground. He felt as if the soles of his feet were filled with lead, and he couldn't walk an inch heavily. He moved slowly, walked to the edge of his father's wooden couch, and slowly knelt down.

"Dad, Liu'er is back, get up and look at me! A few days ago, you didn't say, you said that you from," Jiang Liubian said, and his tears became more and more hot, as if he was going to burn his eyes. The uncomfortable feeling ripped at the nerves from the bottom of my heart and swirled upward, choking in my throat, "Did you say that you bought a night pearl from a Persian merchant and gave it to Liu'er?" You haven't given it to me yet? Father. ”

Jiang Liu looked at Jiang Baichuan, who was sleeping quietly, the blood stains on his face had been cleaned up, so now he was no different from falling asleep. Jiang Liu stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his father, but he didn't dare, because he was afraid, afraid of touching a cold corpse. The outstretched hand was suspended in mid-air.

On the other side, Jiang Ming showed his identity to the Jiang family steward, although the house was sad, but the etiquette was still not lost, and they went to the side hall to entertain Jiang Ming and his party. During this period, Jiang Ming asked the steward what happened, and felt that there was something strange in it, so he asked, "Can you take me to see the Shanglin Courtyard where the old master of Jiang had an accident?" ”

The Jiang family has always respected Qionghua, and when they learned that the young man in front of them was the Daizong who became famous all over the world this year, they naturally did not refuse.

"Immortal family, please come with me."

Shanglin Courtyard is the courtyard where the head of the Jiang family reads, and there is a clear pond and a rockery in the courtyard, which is not poetic. Jiang Ming followed the butler to the door of the Shanglin Villa. The housekeeper said: "The old master, I passed away yesterday, and I have tested it, saying that I went mad and died violently. So the body of the old master has been taken away. ”

Jiang Ming frowned slightly, "Have you ever relocated the things in that room?" ”

"No, the little family master hasn't seen it yet, and we, the subordinates, don't dare to move, everything is still the same as when the accident happened."

So much better! Jiang Ming gently pushed open the wooden door of the Upper Forest Courtyard, and there was a creaking sound. Jiang Ming walked into the room, looking at the blood stains left on the table, as well as the blood droplets sprayed on the wall, it seemed that there must have been a lot of movement last night. However, Jiang Ming looked at the dried blood stains on the table in surprise.

"When did yesterday come?"

"The old master came half an hour after the accident, and he stayed here for an hour and left." The housekeeper answered truthfully.

This is strange, there are not a lot of blood stains on the table, how can it not be dried until now, and after the blood dries, it will turn into a black color, such a bright color, it is really rare. Jiang Ming gently touched the blood stains on the table with his fingers, and rubbed his fingertips for a while, feeling even more strange.

"Please help me find the girl in the pink dress I came with just now, and let Jiang Liu come over later and tell Jiang Liu that the master has something to say to him."

The old butler nodded, and went off to work.

Jiang Ming looked at the mess in the room alone, very similar to the appearance after going mad, but he always felt that something was not quite right there.

He looked around, trying to find clues to support his suspicions.

Finally his eyes fell on the petals on the seat, and on the broken vase on the ground. The vase was caused by external force to fall to the ground, and the flower arrangement in the vase was also scattered on the ground, so why are there falling petals on the table? So much that force majeure is, naturally falling off. Because the flower didn't scatter its petals after it fell to the ground.

Jiang Ming found that he didn't have too many clues, so he continued to search, and in the direction of the blood splash, Jiang Ming was surprised that there were no insects in the room. When it came to the dog days, the heat was unbearable, and even if a bloodstained house did not emit a foul smell, how could it not even see a single fly or insect.

Jiang Ming turned around and looked at the lamp in the upper right corner of the table, he removed the double lampshade, and did not see any small insect corpses. Lighting up at night is the most attractive for small insects, but why haven't you seen a single one here?

"Brother Jiangming, you look for me!" Bai Qixia waved his hand lightly on the tip of his nose and walked in.

"Qixia, look at this blood, what's wrong!"

Bai Qixia realized the seriousness of the problem, so he took out his silver needle and stained it with blood, then wiped it on a white silk silk, then put the silk silk into the teacup and poured water, and opened a cyan jade bottle and dropped a few drops of inky blue liquid into it.

After a while, small white bugs were attached to the water.

Bai Qixia looked at Jiang Ming, "Wraith Gu." ”

"Xudu Bai family!" Jiang Ming's first reaction was this. The Ghost Gu is one of the poison systems of the Bai Family's Witch Gu in the Xudu Dynasty, because the production process is too difficult and too toxic, so few people know about it. And it was included in the ban of the Bai family by the head of the Bai family in the capital of Xudu. In other words, the disciples of the Bai family cannot refine it privately.

"Brother Jiang Ming suspects the death of the head of the Jiang family, is there any other reason?"

Jiang Ming nodded, pointed to the mess in the room, and said, "Don't you think it's strange there?" ”

Odd? Bai Qixia carefully looked at everything in the room, the broken vase, the broken bookcase, the inkstone that was broken in half, the water that was torn apart, and the cracks that were smashed out of the window......

"The door, why is there no trace on the door. He was in so much pain and threw the things in the house like crazy, why didn't he go out? Qixia said.

Jiang Ming nodded, this is also what he has not figured out, if it is really as the housekeeper said, he died of madness, then during the period of madness, Jiang Baichuan almost destroyed everything in the house, why didn't he touch the door alone. Jiang Ming walked to the door and stared at the ground for a long time, and a pine needle that fell into the gap of the wooden board attracted Jiang Ming's attention.

He squatted down and picked it up, looking at the pine needles in his palm, he thought about it, from the time he entered the door to the present, he had never seen any pines and cypresses in Jiang's house, where did this come from. The tip of his meticulous heart made a slight cut, and he realized that it must not be simple, that it must be a deliberate murder.

"Master!" Maybe it's too sad, at this moment, Jiang Liu doesn't have the hanger he used to be, like a tired elder.

"Jiang Liu, listen to me, your father's death is too strange, someone should have done it deliberately."

"What did you say?" Jiang Ming, who was carried away by grief, has been listening to the housekeeper and his own report, his father died violently, and the pretence has been confirmed. Now seeing that Jiang Ming said to himself that someone deliberately did it, the originally relaxed heartstrings were instantly tightened.
