Chapter 118: Impermanence

Chang Mo has been restless these days, if nothing else, because Lan Sheng didn't come to him again. It stands to reason that after she was cursed, she shouldn't be able to stand the torture of "thinking about it day and night", and she didn't need him to ask, she begged to see him twice in three days. However, no one came, and there was no response to his post left in the diligent office.

He checked her whereabouts, and when he reached the crow farm, the three wastes refused to help her. This was expected for him. The people who sacrificed to the white sheep and abolished did not have the face to return to their hometowns, nor could they be in the making, either they went incognito in other places, or they did not die and stayed in the crow field. The heart is not dead, just waiting for a hope, but he doesn't have the courage to go against Changfeng again.

Could it be that this girl retreated? But what about people? Those phoenix eyes, as long as he thinks about it, can make his heart itch. Maybe he should ask the man again if there was a way to get her out.

He sat in the ossuary room, obsessed with the golden hands under the statues of Buddha. Each golden hand belonged to a woman who had brought him pleasure, either her lips, or her watery waist, or her little feet, and if he loved a part alone, he would spoil them all. But he also gets bored easily, and he doesn't even look at it too much after it's fresh. Just right, as a sacrifice for his next woman. When they died, he remembered only their beauty, and often came here to recall the wonderful joys.

He could name each golden hand engraved on the back, and he knew the location of each of their bones. Don't look at the tens of thousands of workers in charge, he can cast gold and carpenter, these are all from his craft, so he is not worried that others will peek into the secrets. Changfu is an estate under the name of the creator, and only this one can make him feel like he belongs to him. His place, his woman. He is the master.

Exhaling comfortably, he lowered his eyes and drank his tea.

"Sir." The cowardly and humble female voice, the woman whose appearance is not good, is his main room.

Chang Mo was impatient and raised his head, but when he saw those nailed Buddha statues, his mood was much better, "Didn't you ask you not to come?" ”

The woman said cautiously, "It's the New Year tonight, ask the master which room he wants to eat in." The concubine is ready first. ”

"There's a party tonight. Don't come home. "Chang Mo's entertainment is in the Qinglou nine times out of ten," by the way, if you want to accept new people after the New Year, you can be careful." If there are still many mouths. I'll make them look good! Pei's wife gave some more silver taels there. She's just a daughter, don't let her go around yelling and making people suspicious. ”

The newly deceased Pei family was the concubine who died when he was the curse of Lan Sheng.

The woman said yes. "I was thinking about today's past, I heard that she inherited a little girl from a relative's house, and if she got another piece of silver, I guess she wouldn't talk much."

Chang Mo waved his hand to indicate that he could get out, "You will do things, and so will I." Whether your mother's family can live without food and clothing is up to you. ”

The woman turned around and walked out, and when she saw those Buddha statues, her dull expression seeped into a trace of resentment. She really believes in Buddhism, but her Buddha is all suffering now, and she can't do anything about it.

asked the coachman to prepare the car, and Mrs. Chang didn't take the girl, and went to Pei's house alone to deliver silver. The old lady of the Pei family cried when she saw her, but there were no tears in her eyes, and she ignored her ten-year-old son bullying the girl who was newly born to be her daughter. She saw it in her eyes, said a few perfunctory words, and threw out an extra ten taels of silver. Chang Mo has money, and sometimes she can't wait to help him spend it.

Out of Pei's house, I lowered my head and got into the car, I didn't notice that the coachman's figure was taller and taller than before, and I didn't notice that the car had been getting more and more deviated, until I heard to get out of the car, I realized that I was standing in a desolate cemetery, and it was Pei's tombstone in front of me. Mrs. Chang was surprised and turned around to see a woman and a man. The man was dressed in her coachman's clothes, apparently confusing her. The woman's phoenix eyes made her dumbfounded. Although she lives in a simple place, she has also heard that the white sheep who is to be sacrificed by Changfeng is a phoenix-eyed woman, and Chang Mo said that the new concubine she will accept in the New Year is probably this woman. She has been married to Chang Mo for many years, and she knows his preferences and methods well.

"Mrs. Chang, my name is Lan Sheng." Building a house is about precision, and the same is true for dealing with Changmo. Although King Pingjun didn't listen to her advice and felt that the evidence was sufficient and he could arrest people today, Lan Sheng felt that it was still a little worse.

Although Mrs. Chang was shocked, she was not afraid, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”

"Ask something." Lan Sheng stepped on Pei's grave.

"It's disrespectful to the dead, and the girl isn't afraid of nightmares at night?" Why is this Lan girl not like Chang Mo wants to accept other women, she is full of eyes and opens and closes her mouth to say Chang Mo.

With a chuckle and beautiful phoenix eyes, Lan Sheng stood on top of the grave and looked at Mrs. Chang from top to bottom, "Mrs. Chang, shouldn't it be you and your husband who have nightmares?" There is an empty coffin under the loess, even if the family burns incense and paper, it is wasted. Poor Pei Shi, it's okay if you are a lonely soul, if you are suppressed by someone, I heard that it is more terrifying than the eighteenth layer of hell. ”

Mrs. Chang didn't expect Lan Sheng to know that this was an empty tomb, and at the same time she didn't know anything about the soul suppression, so she was shocked and stunned, "Don't talk nonsense, what an empty coffin, what a soul suppression!" ”

"It's not empty, dig it up, it's not the first time we've done this, a few people who married into Changfu before have opened the coffin and seen it. As for the soul of the town-"Lan Sheng walked down," I heard that Mrs. Chang believes in Buddhism, and she must go to the temple on the fifteenth day of every month to offer incense, and it will not change in wind or shine. The Buddha's heart is compassionate, is it used to calm the soul and not let the grudge accumulate? Such a good idea, it is really a husband and wife. ”

Mrs. Chang shouted bitterly, "No! It's often used to hide people's eyes and ears! I didn't agree at all! ”

She worships the Buddha and hopes to cross the sea of suffering after death, but all this makes Chang Mo contempt. And over the years, I couldn't sleep or eat, and for the sake of my family, I had to help the bastard who had lost his conscience. She'd endured it to the extreme, and now someone in the know finally appeared, tearing the fragile barrier in her heart to pieces.

"It was Chang Mo who killed those poor women, and fearing retribution, hid their bones. My father, mother, brother and sister all pointed to him for their lives, and he married me so that someone could help him do these dirty things, and if I didn't do it, my whole family would die. Mrs. Chang broke down and fell to the ground crying, "I tried to help one of the women escape, but failed, and he killed several girls in my room who knew about it. He kills people without blinking, and he buys off the government, and the officials also turn a blind eye. ”

"Where does your family live?" If you want Mrs. Chang to testify, you have to keep her family, Lan Sheng asked.

Mrs. Chang shook her head like a madman, "I don't know what to do, every year Chang Mo takes them to stay with me for a few days, and then sends them away." ”

"Madam Chang, do you know that Chang Mo is surrounded by people like the Wizard Magician?" Lan Sheng asked again.

"I don't know what to do." Chang Mo only asked her to deal with the aftermath of those women, and she also knew that their deaths must have been done by Chang Mo. The golden hands under the Buddha statue were engraved with their surnames, and she secretly discovered them when Chang Mo was not paying attention.

"So, what about Pei's body?" It's not enough to find the white bones, Chang Mo is so cunning, he must be able to think of words. This is also the point of disagreement between Lansheng and the king of Heping. Pei's new death, if her body can be found from Changfu, it is ironclad evidence.

"I don't know what to do. Chang Mo is suspicious by nature, although he takes my family, he also knows that I am soft-hearted, so he doesn't tell me a lot of things. Mrs. Chang told the truth.

"Mrs. Chang, I won't tell you anything, today the military department will arrest Chang Mo, we found the bones of those women, the names of the golden hands are also known, as well as the families of the deceased, and even the servants in the Chang Mansion. If he is condemned, he will surely die, and you and your family will be saved. Lan Sheng told her.

Mrs. Chang's eyes widened in fear, "He won't confess so easily." ”

"Sure enough, I knew him, and I thought so, but things have come to this point, and it's not up to us to decide. So, please think about it carefully. You are the closest person to Chang Mo, and you will definitely be able to see the clues. For example, the place where he spends the most time in the house, the person who is most important. Speaking of which, Pingjun Wang Tingyun was still looking for her. Eager to perform, in other words, it is also impulsive. She didn't think about it, and she shouldn't let an inexperienced novice go into battle in order to avoid Hyun Ran.

Mrs. Chang thought for a while, "The most common thing he usually stays in is the Golden Hand Buddha Cave, and there is no other place." He was very careful that he would not leave the affairs of the house to his subordinates except me. ”

"Is the Golden Hand Buddha Cave the flower hall?" Lan Sheng carefully.

Mrs. Chang nodded and said, "The Golden Hand Buddha Cave is the name of the garden, and it was not originally called this, but Chang Mo later changed it." ”

"He changed it himself?" Strange, a flower hall named after the hole?

Mrs. Chang nodded again.

"Mrs. Chang can go, pretend that nothing happened, and don't tell anyone that she has seen me. Not for anything else, I'm afraid that Chang Mo will suspect you afterwards and harm you and your family. It is estimated that when you go back, most of you will catch up with the officers and soldiers to search the house, and it is normal for the driver to run away. Can Madame catch a car? Lan Sheng said.

"Yes." Mrs. Chang was born in hardship, and after getting in the car, she said to Lan Sheng, "There is one more thing, if the girl didn't ask, I wouldn't think there was anything." Chang Mo raised a monkey in the Golden Hand Buddha Cave and had to feed it twice a day. It eats everything, except fruit and cooked vegetables. ”

"Madame, have you ever seen that monkey?" Lan Sheng doesn't remember seeing monkeys.

"I've seen it a few times, and it's really psychic, so I took the rice basket away, ate it clean, and sent it back." After Mrs. Chang said this, she smiled bitterly at Lan Sheng, "If I can really catch Chang Mo this time, I won't be afraid." I have been watching those innocent lives for the sake of my family. Now, I am willing to go to hell with Changmo. ”

"Mrs. Chang doesn't need to be so pessimistic, it's Chang Mo who kills, not Mrs., Mrs. will be fine." Lan Sheng watched her go away.

Liu Xia learned to listen quietly, and only then did he speak, "Could it be that the garden really hides a secret cave?" Or is there a secret room in that room? ”

Lan Sheng quickly stepped on the carriage, "Then you have to ask Chang Mo's pet." ”

Liu Xia is not stupid, but she doesn't understand this, "Ask the monkey?" ”

"Well, ask the monkey. Didn't you say psychic? Lan Sheng urged to go, "Chang Mo doesn't look like he raised a monkey. ”

"It's not like a monkey, is it like raising a person?" Liu Xia was sarcastic, and then suddenly realized, "No! ”

Lan Sheng closed the curtain. (To be continued......)
