Chapter 118: Muddy Step by Step

Master Cao nodded hurriedly and went out.

Seeing that Master Cao had gone out, Song Shu cracked and unlocked Mrs. Cao's acupoint again.

Mrs. Cao slowly opened her eyes, but she didn't have the madness she had just now, and her eyes were clear.

"Ma'am."

"Who are you?"

"Madam, we were sent by the imperial court to investigate this matter."

Mrs. Cao was a little surprised, "How do you know I'm pretending to be crazy?" ”

Yue Li smiled, "Maybe it's intuition!" ”

Mrs. Cao looked outside, and then quietly told them, "This is not my husband, he is not my husband." ”

"Is this Master Cao fake?"

"Yes, he's fake, my husband has long been controlled by them, after he came out of the capital, he was a little wrong, I don't know why he always said something inexplicable, at first we thought he might have been too excluded in the capital before, what stimulated, but later found that he was getting more and more weird."

Not only did he speak upside down, but the whole person was chaotic like a fool. On that day, when we were still on the road, we met a Jianghu priest, who told my husband's fortune, saying that there would be a catastrophe in the future. ”

"The Taoist priest talked nonsense and gave him a medicine, saying that this medicine could help him avoid those disasters, maybe he had been ostracized too much before, so he was really superstitious about these things, so he really took this medicine."

"After arriving in Fangzhou City, suddenly one day she became very strange to me, although the speaking temperament is still the same as before, but obviously she is not a person, I said that it is not my husband, but no one believes it."

"So you choose to pretend to be crazy and stupid?"

"Yes, pretending to be crazy is probably the best way for me to protect myself, I really don't know who is pretending to be my husband, and I don't know where my husband is now. In order to protect myself, I can only pretend to be crazy and stupid. ”

"Mrs. Cao, we know, we have to work hard for you to pretend for a few more days, and when the truth we find out is revealed, we will naturally give you an explanation."

Mrs. Cao nodded, "Then it's hard for you, these days, no, it should be all these years, I have already pretended enough." I don't know how my daughter is doing now. ”

"Your daughter," Ye Qin said with some reluctance, how would Mrs. Cao react if she knew that her daughter was now lingering on the sickbed?

"Anyway. I still want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I would probably be here to pretend to be crazy and stupid for the rest of my life. ”

"It's just a gesture, we are also here on the orders of the imperial court."

"In that case, then I'm relieved. Ladies and gentlemen, please come back, and I'll tell you everything I know. ”

Master Cao waited outside the door for a long time, a little weak-hearted. After a while he peeked in. "Ladies and gentlemen, do you see something?"

"This Mrs. Cao may be in a depressed mood, which is why she caused this madness. Sir, you have time to spend more time with your wife! Yue Li easily found an excuse and perfunctory Master Cao.

Master Cao had told them before that Mrs. Cao was crazy, so he wasn't worried that they would believe what Mrs. Cao said, so he nodded reassuringly. "In that case, I will definitely listen to the adults.

"Master Cao, it's really infatuated, Mrs. is like this, and she won't give up."

Several people bragged to each other and left the small courtyard, although Master Cao was still a little uneasy, but since several people said so, he was embarrassed to ask more?

When he went out, the old ghost had already arrived, and he was sitting in the hall drinking tea.

"Yo, Lord Ye, didn't you go to the yamen today?"

"Ah, it's a day off today. The yamen choked me out yesterday. Ye Qin was also a little embarrassed, he didn't expect this old ghost to ask so bluntly.

"It's okay, it's okay, since you're tired, I'll take a day off, this master has also saved a lot of work recently, it seems that it's all for adults, right?"

Ye Qin smiled bitterly, "Yes! ”

Several people chatted awkwardly like this, and the atmosphere was extremely uncomfortable, Song Shu stood there without speaking, looking at them like a statue.

"General, I'm sorry for you," Ye Qin said to Song Shu.

Song Shu nodded, "My lord, just give orders." ”

"You go, let me run to the west of the city and lie down."

"West of the city?" The old ghost was interested, "What are you going to do in the west of the city?" ”

"I've heard that the plague is particularly bad over there, so I wanted to check it out." Ye Qin hurriedly explained.

The old ghost nodded, "Indeed, the west of the city is much more powerful than here, so since the adults want to go, I will accompany the adults." ”

Ye Qin hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, you are usually tired from decocting medicine, and now you can't let you go." ”

The two of them excused each other, and the final result was that the old ghost went to the west of the city for Ye Qin.

Ye Qin was a little frustrated, he actually wanted to inquire about the news when he went to the west of the city, but he didn't expect the old ghost to give him this opportunity at all, and easily let him cut off Hu, but it didn't matter, he could inquire about the news at any time.

However, they must not be allowed to doubt themselves, otherwise none of the three of them will be able to leave the city.

Yue Li saw that these people were becoming more and more careful, and thought to himself, this is not a solution?

No, tonight, when she finds an opportunity, she will also call out the dark six again, and the importance of case six at this critical juncture is highlighted.

In the next time, in addition to staying in Cao's mansion and talking to Master Cao, they either went to Miss Cao's courtyard to take a look at Miss Cao's situation again.

However, Song Shu and Yue Li can't forget the weird silk and bamboo music at that time, as well as Miss Cao behind Master Cao, since Mrs. Cao said that her husband is no longer her husband, will it? Could it be that she was thinking wrong?

In fact, it was her husband who was controlled, and their daughter was not their biological daughter.

In the evening, Song Shu quietly touched Yue Li's house and discussed the matter with Yue Li.

It is very likely that Mrs. Cao has not finished understanding the facts, and saving her life is the most important thing for her now, so she has not cared about these things.

"Do you still hear these bamboo music these nights?"

"Nope."

"Really, not?"

"I wonder why it's so quiet these days, when we first arrived. It's every day, and these days the song is not often remembered in the house. ”

"Since when?"

"It's been since the last time we heard that tune."
