Chapter 172: Walking the Water

Zhen Chutian didn't believe it, after all, the housekeeper's nervousness couldn't be pretended to be during the day, no matter how much he said, it was better to go in and take a look, Gu Chenghan also nodded when he heard this, and walked in with Zhen Chutian, fortunately, he took a road when he came out.

The coffin is easy to find, the grass is covered on top of the coffin, Zhen Chutian is not a hypocritical person, after seeing those coffins, he threw Gu Chenghan down, but after checking them one by one, the coffin was really as Gu Chenghan said, there was nothing, as if it had been buried here for a long time, and there were more ashes on the coffin for a long time.

I didn't see Zhen Chutian make any moves, but I also knew that the woman in front of me was a little disappointed, and she wanted to take a step forward but didn't know how to speak, she was full of joy and thought that she had found something, but after coming to check, she didn't find anything.

Soon the two recovered, and they looked at the person in front of them and felt a little dissatisfied.

"Do you think that it seems that the cleanliness is a little too much, if there is no greasy in it, but why is there such a coffin, the housekeeper seems to know that there is something inside, but if there is something, there is nothing wrong with the coffin inside!"

Along the way, Zhen Chutian muttered in Gu Chenghan's ear, as if he couldn't figure it out, but he didn't know what to do.

"Who's that guy up front?"

Both of them walked cautiously on the eaves, but when they saw a light flashing in the distance, they couldn't help but hurry up a few steps.

Not much behind, but the image of the person who flashed by was that the two of them had mislooked, strangely tight, and after they followed, they couldn't see anything.

"Whose residence is this?"

Looking at the brightly lit room not far away, Zhen Chutian asked a little strangely.

"It seems to be the boudoir of the side room of the eldest son."

Gu Chenghan thought about it for a moment and said leisurely.

"Concubine? Is it the woman in yellow who once had a relationship with us? ”

After thinking about it carefully, this concubine seemed to have only shown up when they entered the prime minister's mansion that day, and then they had been staying in their room safely, but Zhen Chutian had already forgotten about this person, and he thought about it for a while at this time.

didn't say anything, it was really that this woman was too sad that day, and for her husband, several people had already asked everything they could say or ask, so they didn't harass this person after that.

"The light you and I saw just now is probably the candle flame of this concubine's room, we should be making too much of a fuss."

Gu Chenghan glanced at the courtyard with the candle flames swaying in front of him, and couldn't help but abandon his thoughts in his heart, if he hadn't seen it wrong, how could they not have found anything at this time?

After taking a closer look at the courtyard in front of him on the eaves of the courtyard, he didn't find anything else, so he slowly went back to his room.

The night outside the house was just right, and the slight breeze made people goosebumps for no reason, but there were a little more ripples in their hearts, sending Zhen Chutian back, and Gu Chenghan went back to his room.

Lying on the bed, his eyes were full of Zhen Chutian's figure, and he was about to fall asleep in a daze, when he heard a few shouts.

"It's out of the water."

"It's out of the water, put out the fire."

"Hurry up, hurry up and fetch water!"

......

It was as noisy as a vegetable market during the day, and the two of them happened to be asleep yet, and after hearing the sound, they hurriedly got up from the bed, and Zhen Chutian grabbed the maid who was about to run in front of him.

"What's wrong? Where to walk the water? ”

At this time, Zhen Chutian couldn't allow too much nonsense, and when he saw the maid stop, he hurriedly asked his doubts.

"Zhen, it's the mourning hall, it's the lord's mourning hall, I don't know what happened, the mourning hall suddenly caught fire, and the rest of the slaves and maids don't know."

Seeing that the woman hurriedly told Zhen Chutian everything she knew, she broke free from Zhen Chutian's shackles and ran out, for fear that she would be beaten up if she was one step behind and her master found out.

At this time, Gu Chenghan walked towards him, and after the two quickly exchanged glances, they hurriedly walked in the direction of the mourning hall.

"Hurry up, save the old man's body!"

The two of them had just come to the periphery of the mourning hall, and they heard the old but unangry voice of the housekeeper in the room, but the nervousness of the words could not deceive people.

Seeing the arrival of Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan, the maids and servants gave way one after another, and Yu Linglong came out to help as soon as she heard it, and at this time, with Yu Linglong's leadership, several people who were still anxious just now and didn't know what they were going to do all picked up all the tools that could be picked up to put out the fire next to them, trying to come forward to help.

Xin Yu found it in time, the fire was also controlled, and the fire was quickly extinguished, but the mourning hall that was originally well arranged was already completely unaffected at this time.

"Master, master~"

Just as he was about to walk in, he saw a maid holding the old lady and trembling over.

The butler who had just breathed a sigh of relief hurriedly and nervously greeted him, and the action was really skillfully tight.

Gu Chenghan had already walked in, but Zhen Chutian looked at the old lady who was crying very sadly and calmed down under the comfort of the housekeeper, originally wanted to praise the housekeeper's ability, but when he turned around, he saw that in a place that was not easy to be seen, the old lady's palm was being held by the housekeeper, and he couldn't help frowning.

That kind of communication is definitely not something that ordinary masters and subordinates can have, something flashed through his mind, Zhen Chutian was about to step forward to say something to the old lady, but was called by Gu Chenghan inside, hesitated for a while and then walked inside.

"How did you stay out for so long? Let's take a look at this corpse first. ”

Gu Chenghan had a slight headache, and brought Zhen Chutian to a somewhat charred corpse that had been burned at this time.

"This is? Prime minister? ”

Looking at the shrunken corpses in front of him due to the fire, he couldn't help but ask.

Seeing Gu Chenghan nodded, Zhen Chutian hurriedly looked at the body of the eldest son of the prime minister at the other end, and sure enough, it was parked in the coffin, but the fire did not affect the corpse at all.

"It's deliberate, there's something in that body that the man doesn't want us to know, and a fire burns everything clean."

Zhen Chutian said with certainty.

It was clearly two corpses that were very close to each other in the mourning hall, and now one had already been burned to black coal, but the other was still intact, and no one would believe it if it was not done on purpose.

"What does the man probably know, or rather, this corpse has evidence of the man's fear!"

Gu Chenghan also followed Zhen Chutian's words and said.

When the two of them walked on the eaves of the mansion, they didn't see anyone who could be suspicious at all, and it was just a time to go back to the room to burn incense, and the corpse was burned clean, how could this make people not angry.

"Sir!"

was thinking about what to do next, when she heard that the old lady who was about to be persuaded to go back by the housekeeper wanted to come in and take a look at her husband and son, but when she saw her husband's dark appearance, she couldn't help but be stunned in place.

"Madame, mourning."

Looking at this situation, both of them were a little at a loss, this person had been dead for a long time, and they thought that this was the final destination, but they never thought that this would be a disaster, thinking of this, Zhen Chutian glanced at the corpse again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

What is there to see this person, or is there any excessive hatred for the prime minister, otherwise how could he treat the prime minister's corpse like this.

"Condolences?"

After hearing Zhen Chutian's words, the old lady looked up at Zhen Chutian and said in a low voice, but the despair and pain in that tone made several people feel uncomfortable.

The prime minister's life can be described as full of twists and turns, and he can't live in peace when he dies.

"But we're in the right direction? Do you feel that way? Otherwise, why didn't that man set the fire sooner or later, but today? ”

Zhen Chutian said suddenly.

"I don't know, but maybe it's a possibility."

"Madam, don't be so sad, I believe that the master will not be willing to be so sad as Mrs. under Jiuquan!"

The housekeeper standing on the side couldn't care about anything at this time, and he couldn't care about Gu Chenghan and his party beside him, he was just comforting the old lady.

Zhen Chutian, who was anxious in his eyes, was shocked.

"Husband!"

The butler was still talking in a low voice, but he saw a woman in white running in from outside.

After seeing the woman's appearance clearly, Zhen Chutian and Gu Chenghan took a step back with a tacit understanding.

I saw that the woman came in and saw the dark corpse and the intact corpse lying beside her, and after being stunned for a moment, she hurriedly shouted: "Master! ”

While crying, he kept muttering about the person who set the fire behind his back, and another curse.

"Okay, one by two, isn't that a joke?"

was about to comfort the woman, but when he heard the old lady, who was still crying, she looked at the woman in white in front of her very dissatisfied.

"Why are you crying at this time, why didn't you care more about the master and your husband before?"

The words were full of words, and such a tone and words made Zhen Chutian frown and look at the old lady again.

The words were clearly that the woman in front of her was very dissatisfied, but that person was obviously the concubine of the eldest son of the old lady, and it stands to reason that they were all a family, why was there such a big conflict.

"Old lady, you misunderstood Mrs. Lan, Mrs. Lan has not eaten or drunk in the room for the past few days, and she has almost gone to accompany her son several times."

I saw a maid behind the woman in white stepped forward and stood in front of the old lady and said.

"Shut up, you're a subordinate here and there! The old woman is not dead! This family is still in charge! When did the old man admit that this was Mrs. Lan? ”

I thought that the old lady might have a better attitude when she heard the maid's words, but who knew that the words were like igniting the fuse of the old lady, and the old lady became more and more excited.

"Hurry up and pull your master down! Now that there are outsiders here, what's the matter with crying? There's nothing to do with your master here for the time being, so let's go back first. ”

Seeing this, the maid timidly glanced at the old lady and the housekeeper in front of her, as if the courage to come out at that moment was gone, and she was about to step forward to pull up her master, but was thrown away by the lady Lan at once.

"No, madam, Lan'er won't go! Lan'er already has the grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion in her belly! ”

These words were like throwing a stone on the surface of a calm lake, stirring up the originally calm water waves, and there was no peace.

The old lady and the housekeeper who didn't know what they were talking about looked at Mrs. Lan kneeling in front of them on the ground in disbelief, their eyes full of disbelief.
