Tang Meng nodded, "Xiao Tao told me today, it is fortunate that an empty house caught fire and did not hurt innocent people, is there something else in this matter?" ”

"The fact that no body was found in the house was real, but that doesn't mean there was really no one in the house at the time of the fire."

Tang Meng's expression tightened, "What does this mean?" ”

"The fire that night was deliberately done by someone, and the secret medicine that was poured in the courtyard to help the burning was enough to burn the corpse to ashes, so that no one could see the traces," Duan Jingyi's eyebrows sank, "and the people who originally lived in the courtyard were Guo Yi's wife and sister." ”

"What!" Tang Mengteng got up, "Then aren't they ......?"

"The two of them were rescued by Ling Qing and were placed in Jingzhaoxi Mansion at this time under the care of Song Ming, but these two people were very strict and refused to tell the truth about Guo Yi's death no matter what, and this king will go again tonight to see if he can force him to ask something, and yesterday's fire prevention people also found out that it was Lin Meng, the secretary of the military department, who did it, presumably he will concentrate on Li Kang after he finishes the certification."

"So the prince wants to take advantage of the days when he is not in the imperial city to let Jingqi compete with him?"

"Yes, Lin Meng, that old fox, will definitely hurry up when he sees that I am not there, Jing Qi has not shown his real strength in order to lure the king into the urn, and after the arrangements are complete, Li Ziyan can also take advantage of the justifiable golden cicada to get out of his shell in the past few days."

"Sure enough, it's a good strategy, but Guo Yi's wife and sister ......" Tang Meng thought for a moment, and then spoke, "Song Ming naturally won't torture them, but if you wait for the conscience of the two of them to find out, it doesn't seem to be easy, let's use some magical means What does the prince think?" ”

Duan Jingyi's eyes lit up, "I want to hear about it." ”

"It is precisely because they know that you and Song Ming are good officials and will not use some insidious things that they dare to be so hard-mouthed, but even if they use means, they can regret it and say that it is a trick to be beaten, and then we will be more troublesome, so we will kill people, since we can't persuade them, let Guo Yi persuade them personally."

Tang Meng smiled slyly, "When I was a god stick before, I didn't know much about folk pretending to be gods and ghosts, and if I saw more, I would naturally have a few tricks, and I will show that Guo Yi's family tonight, by the way," Tang Meng suddenly remembered something, "I still need a helper." ”

"Who is it?"

"White Feather Dust."

Before Tang Meng's voice fell, Duan Jingyi said categorically, "No." ”

"Why? Didn't you still care about him when he was in the house, why did it change again now? ”

"Because ......" Duan Jingyi tried to hide his jealous expression, "because he is unwell, this king doesn't want you to disturb him anymore, if you need any help, I will find Jia San to help you." ”

"Silently?" Tang Meng shook his head after hearing this, "It's too dark to be silent, it's almost impossible for him to play a black impermanence, if he is allowed to play a ghost with a pale face, won't he break his skills instantly?" ”

"That's easy, come on!" Duan Jingyi coldly ordered Ling Qing, and after a while, dozens of dark guards of different black and white appeared in the room in an instant, Duan Jingyi raised his eyebrows and looked back, "Choose one, there is always a suitable one." ”

Tang Meng was speechless for a moment, and he didn't dare to ask Duan Jingyi why he was so unwilling to find a ready-made Bai Lingchen to come, and would rather go to such great lengths than call him over, could it be that the two were really reconciled and didn't want Bai Lingchen to work hard?

Tang Mengmeng didn't know the reason for it, so he simply didn't want to choose it carefully, "This, this, this is not bad." ”

Tang Meng chose a few dark guards who looked thin and white, and ordered, "You will follow me tonight to pretend to be a ghost, and let's give the Chen family a wonderful performance!" ”

After a few hours, Xiao Tao was guarding the gate of the Dream Garden, and no one was allowed to go in to disturb her, no matter what it was to find Duan Jingyi and Tang Meng, she only replied that the prince and Niangniang were resting, but they didn't know that the house was busy at this time, Tang Meng was responsible for cutting white cloth to make 'clothes' for a few secret guards, and Xing'er was responsible for applying makeup to a few of them with chicken blood.

Not to mention, after some operation, it really tastes like it, Tang Meng scratched the hair of several of them again, revealing half of their red and purple faces, and the lights were really terrifying.

"That's it!" Tang Meng looked at the results in front of him and was very satisfied, "Silently, can you find what I want?" ”

Jia San appeared in the room in response, holding a paper bag in both hands, "Hui Niangniang, you have found the borax you wanted, as well as the small casserole and oil you wanted." ”

"Borax?" Duan Jingyi frowned, "Meng'er, what do you want this thing for?" ”

Tang Meng smiled slyly and pretended to have a somewhat gloomy aura, "Reach out and get off the oil pot!" ”

When they heard this, everyone in the house was secretly surprised, but after all, they were from secret guards, and they would not refuse no matter what the master asked them to do, only Xing'er was so frightened that she covered her mouth, "Niangniang, this will kill someone." ”

Tang Meng patted her on the shoulder and explained, "Don't worry, how can I joke with everyone's lives, but if we don't do it realistically, Chen and Guo Ling won't believe it, so I just remembered such a trick," Tang Meng said as he set up a small casserole near the candle flame, "Throw the borax into the oil pot when it is cold, and then the oil pot will become like it is boiling, but the temperature is not hot at all, just like this." ”

Sure enough, not long after the borax was thrown in, there were big bubbles in the pot, and Tang Meng raised his hand and was about to reach in, but Duan Jingyi, Xing'er, and Ling Qingjiasan grabbed their wrists at the same time.

Duan Jingyi's expression was furious, "What are you doing!" ”

Tang dreamed of withdrawing his arm, but none of them were willing to let go, she showed eight small white teeth, "Don't worry, didn't I say it just now, this oil pot just looks scary and not hot at all, I want people to trust me, so naturally I have to try it myself." ”

"This king will not allow you to do this!" Duan Jingyi pulled up his sleeves as he spoke, "You and this king are one, since you want to convince people, it is better to let this king try." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Tang Meng and the others to pull him, Duan Jingyi's hand resolutely reached into the oil pot.

Xing'er screamed and quickly covered her mouth, but Duan Jingyi didn't frown.

"How's it going, isn't it hot?" Tang Meng leaned over with a smile, Duan Jingyi also looked relieved, and after a while, he took his hand out of the oil pot, Tang Meng hurriedly picked up the handkerchief in his arms and went up to wipe it clean for him.

Duan Jingyi was very satisfied with the movements of his little wife, and even the whole person softened a lot, and said to the secret guards behind him, "You can rest assured, everything is under the command of the princess tonight!" ”

"Yes!" The secret guards saluted together, and everyone had a different taste in their hearts, especially Ling Qing and Jia San, who felt particularly strong, and when they looked at Tang Meng again, there was a little more respect in their eyes.

That night, Tang Meng and the others hastily ate dinner and sneaked all the way to Jingzhaoxi Mansion with Duan Jingyi, fortunately, it was Duan Jingyi and Tang Meng's advanced house, and then those secret guards appeared one after another, otherwise Song Ming had to be scared to death on the spot, Rao was like this, or scared him for a long time before he came to his senses.

"Well, that's what's going on."

Before Tang Meng could explain, he heard a low scream at the entrance, and they looked back to find that Dong Cheng, who had never changed his face, turned pale with fright, and he didn't know when he picked up the vase beside him, just like the enemy was ready to attack at any time.

Tang Meng sneered, and then he felt that this unsmiling Lord Dong had such a down-to-earth attitude, Tang Meng walked over quickly, "Don't be afraid, Lord Dong, it's me." ”

Dong Cheng was vigilant and came back to his senses before he recognized that the person in front of him was Tang Meng, and when he looked inside, his expression suddenly changed, and he threw the flower pot in his hand and knelt down straight to salute, "The minister sees the prince and princess!" ”

"Master Dong, please get up," Duan Jingyi spoke, Song Ming ran over with a smile and helped the person up and teased him by the way, "You don't always say that you are silent and weird, how can you still be scared like this." ”

Dong Cheng secretly wiped a cold sweat, "I'm not worried about you, I thought you had done too many bad things on weekdays and provoked unjust souls to ask for your life." ”

Song Ming pursed his lips, "That's a good thing!" ”

Tang Meng couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the two of them arguing, and coughed embarrassedly when he was stared at by the two, "Don't be surprised, two adults, I'll explain it to you." ”

Tang Meng told the two of them about the plan, Song Ming applauded, but Dong Cheng was skeptical, "Is this okay?" ”

"No, the mother is ready, let's try it, I think it's feasible!" Song Ming said as he pulled Ling Qing and pointed to the room not far away, "That's it, just the two of them live, we can start at any time." ”

After getting Duan Jingyi's approval, Ling Qing jumped lightly, and when the Chen family felt that everything was normal, a cold wind suddenly blew, and the fireflies in the house were extinguished in an instant.
