Chapter 218: Catching Ghosts
Because You Ming wanted to exorcise the ghost of Mrs. Begonia, he couldn't leave for the time being, so he simply stayed at Director Yan's house, so Yan Mingchen had to often come to his uncle's house to accompany him, after all, he brought the person, and he couldn't leave Hou Ming alone.
In fact, You Ming doesn't care, these days he seems to have forgotten about exorcising ghosts, and every day he either chats with Yan Mingchen about the anecdotes of this era, or reads calligraphy and painting talismans, and the strange thing is that since Mrs. Begonia was imprisoned, Director Yan has not been harassed by ghosts anymore, which makes him believe the young mage's words even more.
"How's it going for you to do it tomorrow morning?" In the pavilion, after You Ming finished drawing a charm, he put away the talisman and looked up at Yan Mingchen, who was in a hurry, and said.
Yan Mingchen didn't have much relaxed expression on his face, he first glanced around carefully, and after seeing that there was no one, he said with a solemn expression: "I have already found someone to leak the news from the investigation to the housekeeper Zhang Xi in private, Brother You really doesn't tell my uncle about this." ”
Although You Ming has been idle in the past few days, he instructed Yan Mingchen to investigate Mrs. Begonia's past, and sure enough, it didn't take much effort to find out the true relationship between her and Zhang Xi, the two are not distant relatives at all, and when Mrs. Begonia was still in the Qinglou, the two had a personal relationship.
Speaking of which, these two people are also bold, one has married into the director of the patrol house as his wife, and the other dares to find it in a grand manner, but he changed his name, made up an identity casually, and became the director's housekeeper.
You Ming retracted his thoughts, shook his head and said, "This kind of thing, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, it's difficult to explain it clearly. ”
"Alas! I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to stand this stimulation! Yan Mingchen sighed and said.
You Ming smiled: "Then you underestimate him, can't you see that in his heart, your deceased aunt is the real status of unshakable, at the moment this woman is just a novelty for him, now the freshness has passed, at this moment in his heart, I am afraid that the ghost of your eldest aunt can occupy her body?" ”
Yan Mingchen thought for a while and nodded, "Then what are we going to do next?" ”
You Ming waved his hand and said, "You don't have to do anything, you just need to communicate with your uncle, and we'll watch the play tonight." ”
At night, a dark cloud obscured the bright crescent moon, and the courtyard was dark and silent
Silently, a figure appeared outside the firewood room at this time.
"Tuk Tuk!" There was a soft knock on the door.
"Who's out there?" A nice female voice in the firewood room asked alertly.
"It's me!" The dark shadow said in a low voice.
"Brother Xi, why are you here, what should you do if you are discovered?" Mrs. Begonia in the firewood room complained a little.
"No, no, the old guy has already sent someone to investigate us, fortunately, I was alert and I intercepted the news in advance, otherwise we would both be finished." There was a sound of unlocking outside the door, Zhang Xi held a large bunch of keys in his hand, experimenting one by one, and he didn't know which lock could open the outside of the firewood room in a hurry.
"How so? If I don't leave, if I do, our plans will be ruined, and the old man's fortune will be cheaper than his nephew. Mrs. Begonia was taken aback and screamed.
"Shh Zhang Xi was startled and hurriedly reminded her.
"It's not all because of you, wouldn't it be good if we poisoned the old man earlier, you have to give him ** medicine, and I want me to help you pretend to be a ghost together, now it's okay, a real god stick, just lock me up, are you satisfied?" Mrs. Begonia said angrily in the firewood room.
Zhang Xi was still scrambling to find the key to unlock the lock, and when he heard her words, he couldn't help but be depressed: "I didn't know this would happen, right?" The old man is the director of the patrol room, and killing him directly will cause big trouble. At that time, it happened that the haunting incident of the Cai family made people panic, and you also agreed to get some haunted news first, and then kill the old man, and then blame the ghosts, so that no one would suspect us anymore. ”
"But now why is it that we want to flee, it's not all because you are not doing well, I don't care, you go and kill the old man now, anyway, the news of the haunting has spread, even if we kill him, no one will suspect us......"
"Hmph, you just want me to die like that!" In the darkness of the night, a low, cold voice suddenly sounded.
Zhang Xi, who was still unlocking the lock outside the firewood room, shuddered, his wrist suddenly froze, and he turned his head mechanically and slowly looked back, and there were torches in the courtyard.
Under the light of the fire, Director Yan's face was blue, and the murderous aura in his eyes almost tore him apart.
"Who's out there, is it the master? The master saves me, Zhang Xi, this bad guy wants the slave family to harm the master, woo woo, the slave family does not agree, he will hijack the slave family, and the master will be the master of the slave family! ”
In the firewood room, Mrs. Begonia was still a little panicked at first, and soon cried and cried to complain, and people who didn't know really thought that she was being held hostage and persecuted by Zhang Xi.
"Shut up, you slut!" Director Yan was so angry that his body trembled a little.
Coincidentally, Director Yan was supposed to be on duty tonight, recently Baotian County has been full of disasters, and there has been a shadowless thief, several large families have already suffered, and their savings for many years have been stolen, and he is busy arranging people to arrest the shadowless thief, so he received the news brought by Yan Mingchen.
At first, Director Yan didn't believe it, but after hearing what his nephew said, he secretly guarded the outside with a few patrols.
What Zhang Xi didn't know was that You Ming had already made a move on the lock of the firewood room in advance, and a conversation between him and Mrs. Haitang in a panic was equivalent to not confessing to himself, and he inadvertently told all their plans, and even the interrogation was saved at this time.
You Ming didn't expect things to go so smoothly, seeing that the two patrols didn't need to be instructed, they had already stepped forward to tie up the housekeeper Zhang Xi who was paralyzed on the ground, he turned his head to look at Director Yan and said: "Master Yan, I am fortunate not to be dishonored, the ghost has been caught, and the rest of the matter has to be handled by Master Yan himself, so I will not participate." ”
Director Yan took a deep breath, tried his best to look better on his face, and said to You Ming: "The mage is really extraordinary, and the contemptible people are grateful, it is late today, and Yan will be grateful tomorrow, tomorrow morning, send the mage back to rest for me." ”
Yan Mingchen showed a worried look on his face, looked at Director Yan with concern, and persuaded: "Uncle, you also have to be careful about your body, don't be angry, this kind of little ladyboy woman is not worth being angry with them." ”
Director Yan nodded, with love in his eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, your uncle has never seen anything, except for your deceased aunt, I have never been afraid of anyone." ”
Yan Mingchen was stunned for a moment, with a wry smile on his face, this doesn't seem to be something worth showing off!
