Huo Yuanwai frowned hesitantly, "This-"

"It's impossible." Song Zixun said lightly, "Not to mention that when the deceased was running around in the yard in a panic, the cat was on the eaves of the porch, even if she took 10,000 steps back, she was really frightened by the cat, so when she saw or heard the movement, shouldn't she run in the opposite direction?" How could a corpse have fallen close to a verandah? This simply does not make sense. ”

Huo Yuanwai nodded thoughtfully, "Lord Song is reasonable. ”

"That'...... Maybe it's really ......," Gu said, covering his handkerchief.

Huo Yuanwai turned his head and glared at her fiercely.

Gu Shi hurriedly closed his voice, but Song Zixun could see it clearly-her hand holding the handkerchief was trembling slightly.

Song Zixun raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is it really...... Please also ask Aunt Gu to tell you the truth about what you know. ”

Huo Yuanwai hurriedly said, "It's just a woman's mouth...... Lord Song doesn't have to care. ”

"Huo Yuanwai's words are wrong." Song Zixun smiled disapplausively, "If you talk about reading and hearing, women are mostly trapped in the boudoir, and they may be less than men. But because of this, they know everything in the inner courtyard better - by no means you and me. I think Aunt Gu also has her own opinions on yesterday's case......" He said to Gu with a gentle face, "Aunt Gu might as well come and listen." ”

Gu bit his lip and looked timidly at Huo Yuanwai.

Huo Yuanwai sighed helplessly, "Since Lord Song asked you, you just tell the truth." ”

Gu Shi pondered for a moment and whispered, "Lord Song must have known how my wife didn't have it back then......

Song Zixun quietly glanced at Huo Yuanwai, who pursed his thin lips tightly, his eyes were as deep as a pool, and he did not see joy or sorrow.

Song Zixun bowed slightly, "I've heard a little." ”

Gu Shi nodded, "My wife died of dystocia, even the full-term brother ......" Gu Shi said, couldn't help but pick up the handkerchief and pressed the corners of his reddened eyes, "When the concubine was young, I heard the knowledgeable old people say that a woman who died in childbirth was too bloodstained to enter the path of reincarnation after death, and because she gathered the double resentment of a woman and a baby, she often turned into a ghost...... ”

As soon as she spoke, the strange and terrifying atmosphere seemed to spread through the hall in an instant......

Huo Yuanwai frowned, and was about to speak, but he heard Song Zixun go down with great interest, "So according to Aunt Gu, the murderer in this case is-"

Gu Shi nodded secretly, as if the ghost was really by their side at the moment, and said in a voice that couldn't be smaller, "My wife's soul ......"

"Ridiculous!" Before she finished speaking, she heard Huo Yuanwai scold.

Seeing that the eyes of the two of them were looking at him at the same time, Huo Yuanwai hurriedly bowed his hand to Song Zixun and said, "The Gu family was frightened by Xiaohong's death, and he would talk nonsense in front of adults when he was delirious...... Please forgive me Lord Song. ”

Tears of grievance immediately welled up in Gu's eyes. Bunny Fly

"It doesn't matter." Song Zixun didn't care, but asked with interest, "Then according to what you see, how should this case be concluded?" ”

Gu simply ignored Huo Yuan's displeased gaze, and said to Ai Ai, "The so-called...... People are humane, and ghosts have ghosts...... If a person kills someone, it will be dealt with by the king's decree, but if a ghost kills someone......" she paused and said carefully, "According to the concubine's humble opinion, I should invite a master with profound Taoism...... It's okay to do a ritual in the courtyard where my wife lived before her death...... It's better to overtake my wife's soul......"

"That's nonsense!" Huo Yuanwai flicked his sleeves angrily, "Lord Song......"

Song Zixun waved his hand to signal him not to be impatient, "Actually, Aunt Gu said about ghosts and gods, but the official has also heard it." ”

Huo Yuanwai couldn't help but be stunned, and even the look on Gu's face was relaxed.

Seeing Song Zixun frowning and recalling, "It is said that the folk call this ghost a bloody ghost, also known as a birth ghost, but a powerful ......ghost who specializes in waiting for pregnant women and casting spells to kill two corpses," he said lightly, "It's far from what Aunt Gu said." ”

Gu Shi was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "Lord Song is a person from the capital, and there are different statements between the north and the south. ”

"That's what Aunt Gu said." Song Zixun smiled, "And according to the version that the official has heard, the reason why these women who died in childbirth turned into powerful ghosts is because they had been hurt by mistreatment before their deaths, so they gathered their grievances and couldn't give birth to a supernatural ......" He paused, "This coincides with what Aunt Gu said." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Zixun clearly saw that Gu's expression froze quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it was only for a moment, she covered her face with a handkerchief and cried bitterly, "My wife...... Unwilling to go...... She didn't even look at her child......"

Huo Yuanwai lowered his eyes and couldn't see his expression, only the joints of his hand held on the teacup were white.

Song Zixun nodded sympathetically, "Mrs. Huo's death is indeed regrettable, but Huo Yuanwai and Mrs. Flounder have a deep relationship, although Mrs. Huo died in childbirth, but although she must have regrets in her heart, she has no resentment...... You say, don't you? ”

Gu Shi cried for a while, and then raised his head, and the pear blossom said with rain, "What Lord Song said is ...... But-"

Song Zixun didn't give her a chance to continue, "It's because this official believes that this case is man-made, not Mrs. Huo's soul murder and life." Seeing that Gu opened his mouth and wanted to say more, Song Zixun said solemnly, "The most important thing now is to bring the murderer who killed Xiaohong to justice as soon as possible - although the deceased was frightened to death, someone dared to pretend to be a ghost and take people's lives, even if they didn't do it themselves, but the same crime is unforgivable." He paused and said meaningfully, "As for asking Master to do something for Mrs. Huo...... If only this is the only way to reassure the two of you—"

Huo Yuanwai hurriedly waved his hand and said with a straight face, "Lord Song, don't listen to her nonsense...... What ghosts and gods are doing, Huo doesn't believe it. Please also ask your adults to find out the truth as soon as possible, catch the murderer, and give justice to the deceased. ”

Song Zixun smiled and bowed, "This is nature." ”

…………………………

"Guo Tai?"

"Yes...... Little Guo Tai. Guo Tai trembled and knelt on the ground, "I don't know what the big is calling the small?" The little one, the little one, has already told the poor master everything he knows......"

Song Zixun flipped through his confession, "When the third watch was the night before and the fourth watch, you said that you were sleeping in the room......"

Guo Tai nodded again and again, "Yes, I have been sleeping in the house that night, and I really don't know anything......"

"Oh?" Song Zixun raised his eyebrows, "Then how can someone say that he saw you go out that night?" ”
