Chapter 42: Ghost Fire

Mu Yu took a deep breath, "I'll try to accept you." ”

Lin Changjin is outstanding, gentle, and can take care of people, he can almost be said to be a person with no shortcomings, if he has shortcomings, it may be that he doesn't like it.

Actually, it's not bad to try to accept Lin Changjin.

"Okay." The corners of Lin Changjin's eyes and eyebrows were dyed with a smile, "By the way, do you know what kind of person Second Master Mu is?" ”

Second Master Mu is also Mu Yu's second uncle, Liu Ying's husband, "Second uncle? The second uncle is a good old man, and he is quite kind, but the second aunt is more careful. ”

In her impression, Second Master Mu has always done things in a decent manner, and the only thing he did out of the ordinary was for the sake of his concubine Xie Chongning.

"Didn't you notice anything strange about Second Master Mu?"

"The second uncle doesn't move around much with us, so I don't know much about him." But if there is anything abnormal, "In the past six months, the second uncle has been more generous!" From time to time, I can hear the maid say that she has won a reward from her second uncle. In the past, the second uncle was very careful, and the subordinates rarely got a reward. ”

"Recently, Dali Temple found a case, many villages near the capital women and children disappeared for no reason, Dali Temple has been tracking for a long time, and the clues we have found now point to the capital."

"Then you just asked about my second uncle's situation, could it be that the case is related to my second uncle?" The monthly money of the Luanping Marquis Mansion is not a small amount, and the second room will not do such a hurtful thing for the sake of money, right?

And it is also in the village outside the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, they dare to do such an arrogant thing, which is enough to see how unstable the court is today.

Lin Changjin saw that Mu Ruan's face was solemn, and mistakenly thought that Mu Ruan was worried about his second uncle, and regretted mentioning this matter, so he could only comfort, "Don't worry too much about Mu Erye, Dali Temple only happened to find Mu Erye at present, and this matter is not necessarily related to Mu Erye." ”

Mu Yu shook his head, "I'm not worried, if the second uncle is really involved in this matter, you can take people away." It's just that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are still people who dare to steal children and women, which is too rampant. ”

"The turmoil in the court naturally gave these people a chance, but don't worry, it's not too far away from the peace of the world." Lin Changjin seemed to be taking an oath, and said earnestly as if he had promised.

The peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beautiful, and the glimpse will pass, but what Lin Changjin said, Mu Yu has been thinking.

She wanted to know what the hell her second uncle was doing behind their backs.

"Biyue, have you heard who the second uncle has rewarded recently?" Mu Yu sat in the pavilion, paying attention to the maid servant who passed in front of him.

"Why did Miss suddenly remember to ask about the second room?" Biyue asked, "But Xiaoqi did receive a reward from the second master yesterday, and it is said that there is a silver ingot!" ”

On weekdays, rewarding people is a few dollars, and one grain or two grains of silver is already the most, it seems that these two rooms are really generous.

"But Miss, I recently heard a terrible thing in the mansion, and Qionglan also told me not to tell Miss!" Biyue looked around sneakily before attaching it to Mu Yu's ear, and whispered, "Miss, I heard others say that the second room has been haunted recently!" ”

"Haunted?" Mu Yu held her chin with one hand, full of fun, she is a modern person who doesn't believe in these ghosts, it's nothing more than someone playing tricks, and then there are ghosts in her heart, "What kind of haunting method, you tell me." ”

"Miss is timid, if I tell Miss, I'm afraid Miss won't be able to sleep at night." Biyue was halfway through her words, and she didn't say anything about it again when she hoisted up Mu Yu's appetite.

"Am I timid? Where am I being timid? Tell me what a haunted method, how can you say only half of it? Mu Yu flattened his mouth and glared at Biyue coquettishly.

"Then I'll tell Miss, Miss don't tell Qionglan that I said this."

Mu Yu looked at Biyue's nervous appearance and sneered, "Of course I won't tell her, but you said that you are a martial arts person, what are you afraid that Qionglan will do if you can't do martial arts?" ”

"Where is this thing that doesn't know martial arts! Qionglan's fierce appearance, Miss, you haven't seen it. Biyue muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Tell me about this haunting first." Mu Yu tugged at Biyue's clothes and asked her to sit next to her.

Biyue leaned sideways, leaning against Mu Yu's ear, "Aren't there a few plum trees in the courtyard of the second room!" Some people say that they saw a ghost fire on the side of the plum tree. ”

"Ghost fire?" Mu Yu's face froze, "That ghost fire is blue?" ”

"Miss, I just listened to them say that, where would I ask what color that ghost fire is!" Biyue shook her head depressedly, it was terrifying enough to hear the ghost fire, who would ask in detail.

Qionglan saw Biyue sitting next to Miss from a distance, biting her ears with Miss, secretly screaming in her heart that it was not good, Biyue's mouth was not strict, and she didn't know if she said something to Miss that shouldn't be said.

"Biyue, how can you sit?" Qionglan lowered her voice and reminded Biyue, "If others see that you are so unruly, you will be punished at that time." ”

She walked forward quickly, obviously a reminder, but for some reason these words came out of her mouth, and there was a sense of threat.

No wonder Biyue was afraid of her, Mu Yu smiled lightly, "I let Biyue sit, who can say anything, Qionglan, you are too careful." ”

Qionglan was helpless, knowing that her young lady was kind-hearted and good to her subordinates, but other masters were not so easy to talk to.

Biyue secretly squeezed her eyebrows at Mu Yu, signaling her young lady not to say anything that shouldn't be said, but she was bumped into by Qionglan.

Qiong Lan symbolically pinched Biyue's ears and lifted it gently, "Recently, you have become so bold that you dare to hint at Miss Squeezing Your Eyebrows." Say, did you just tell the young lady something that shouldn't be said? ”

Biyue shook her head in a panic, "You have specially instructed me, how can I say anything that should not be said!" ”

Qionglan has been talking about this haunted thing recently, and Biyue obviously reminded her when she said this.

"You!" Qionglan gritted her silver teeth and used some strength in her hands. "Didn't I tell you not to talk nonsense?"

Mu Yu quickly stood up and patted Qionglan's strong hand, "I really don't blame Biyue this time, I have to ask her." ”

"If she doesn't take the initiative to mention it, how can you know, Miss?" Qionglan was clear in her heart, there were two of them serving around Miss, and the others couldn't get close to Miss at all, so this unheard-shouldn't have entered Miss's ears, either she said it, or Biyue said it.

"It's really not her, it's Brother Lin who found me and asked my second uncle if there was anything unusual recently, so I asked Biyue." Mu Yu looked at Biyue's reddened ears guiltily, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry that you were misunderstood by Qionglan." ”

Biyue had the protection of Mu Yu, and she stuck out her tongue at Qionglan full of resentment, "Biyue doesn't blame Miss. ”

Qiong Lan ignored Biyue's funny appearance and said coldly, "It seems that I am a bad person, and no one wants to see me." ”

"Biyue is a stupid girl, Qionglan, what do you have to worry about her, and I still have questions I want to ask you!" Mu Yu grabbed Qionglan's hand, and her fingers were interlocked like sisters.

Qionglan didn't say anything, but a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes, she kept saying that Biyue was presumptuous, in fact, she was also spoiled by Miss, a slave of a normal family, who dared to shout in front of Miss?

"What does Mademoiselle want to ask me?"

"I heard that the second room is haunted, I'm curious, tell me what you know." Mu Yu asked quietly.

"Why is Mademoiselle curious about such a thing?" Qiong Lan's face was embarrassed, "After listening to these strange things, I'm afraid that Miss will have nightmares." ”

"Your young lady is not afraid." Mu Yu asked again, "I want to ask you, do you know what color that ghost fire is?" ”

"It seems to be blue." Qiong Lan thought for a moment, "I just heard what the maid in the second room said, it seems to be blue, and it seems to be cyan." ”

"That's right." Mu Yu muttered that ghost fires are generally because of phosphorus, which has a low ignition point and is easy to spontaneously combust, and the color of fireworks is blue.

The human body contains a large amount of phosphorus, and after death, the body decays, and the phosphorus hydride is decomposed and naturally burns into a blue flame, which is the reason for the formation of ghost fire. It seems that her second uncle has a lot of secrets hidden behind her.

Biyue was puzzled, "What did Miss say is right?" ”

"Biyue, you go out with me." The bad things done by the second uncle may affect the Luanping Hou Mansion, and Dali Temple already has eyebrows, so it is only a matter of time before he is pulled out.

If she waits until Dali Temple catches people, Luanping Houfu is afraid that she will always be infamy, and she must take the initiative to cooperate with Dali Temple before Dali Temple catches the second uncle, and make Luanping Houfu's position clear.

"Miss, where are we going in a hurry?" Biyue called the carriage.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Mu Yu helped Biyue's shoulder, and stepped into the carriage with force in his hand, "Go to Dali Temple." ”

"Miss, what are we going to Dali Temple for?"

"You'll know then, I can't tell you about this yet." Biyue's mouth is not solid, and the things that she knows will be known to the world in a blink of an eye.

Mu Yu came to the gate of Dali Temple, "Brother Guard, I have something to do, I want to find ......"

"Who are you looking for?" Xie Chongning was dressed in a dark bat-patterned power suit, with a rhino horn belt tied around his waist, riding on a horse, and it seemed that he had just come back from outside.

Mu Yu was slightly stunned, he didn't want to come to Lin Changjin by himself, but he was able to meet Xie Chongning at the door.

"Master Xie, I'm coming to you." The matter of the second uncle, instead of letting Lin Changjin tell Xie Chongning, it is better for her to tell Xie Chongning in person and make the position of the Luanping Marquis Mansion.

Xie Chongning turned over neatly, his clothes were fluttering, and he stood firmly in front of Mu Yu, with a smile on the top of his eyebrows, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"If it's convenient for Lord Xie, can you go inside and speak?" Second uncle, she can't let too many people know about this matter for the time being, so as not to affect the Luanping Marquis Mansion.

Xie Chongning nodded faintly and walked in front.

Biyue never thought that Miss would come to Dali Temple to find Lord Xie.

Mrs. Hou didn't want Miss to come into contact with Lord Xie, but she even took Miss to take the initiative to find Lord Xie, and Mrs. Hou knew that she was really going to shed a layer of skin.
