Chapter 517: Take Charge Alone
"It turns out that all this is the ghost of this old couple."
Guan Yue hammered the table in an angry manner: "If I let my brother know, my brother will definitely die of sadness." ”
The incident happened suddenly, of course, Tong Yao could not inform Guan Yue's brother, and it was impossible for him to come back from the border land in such a short time. What the old woman saw was just a fantasy that Tong Yao had woven with magic.
If they do too much injustice, they will kill themselves, which is also their own fault, and they are not to blame others.
"I really didn't expect that they would attack such a young child for the sake of their brother's money."
Guan Yue straightened her clothes:
"But it's good that my nephew's life is safe, otherwise they would have committed a great sin. And Miss Tong, fortunately you found out early, or I would have died with it! ”
As soon as she thought of the silver hairpin in the old woman's hand, Yueguan's back broke out in a cold sweat.
helped Miss Yueguan solve this trouble, and Tong Yao went home.
After hearing that her nephew was missing, Miss Yueguan sent someone to the army to inform her brother and ask him to go home quickly.
At the same time, she also invited Tong Yao to help her "exorcise ghosts".
After Tong Yao discovered the secret of the rockery, she didn't make a noise, but waited until the dead of night to let the nurse sneak in.
Sure enough, just as he expected, the little boy was inside, and he had been hungry for several days.
When the nurse found him, he was almost dying, and Tong Yao quickly rescued the little boy from under the rockery.
Yueguan placed his nephew in an inn in the city, and only then did he come back to cooperate with Tong Yao to play a ghost scene.
It didn't take long for Yueguan's brother to return to the imperial capital.
After a few days of recuperation, the little boy's health has improved greatly, he can already walk around on his own, and even read books in his spare time, Yueguan and his brother are relieved.
Tong Yao's help with Yueguan was not a big deal, but it was the first time she had solved the problem by herself.
Although there are no real ghosts, for Tong Yao, this matter is of great significance.
After Murong Xi returned to the imperial capital, he was dragged by Shen Yuechen to continue to investigate the case of the Jixiang Inn, saying that the government had new clues.
In addition to being busy, he still took the time to come to the outer building and said hello to Tong Yao.
"Although this matter is not a real demon slaying, you have also gained experience from it, and you can take charge of it on your own."
After a short meeting at noon, Murong Xi came to the outer building to find Tong Yao and told her this.
"I'm still too early to be alone!" Tong Yao said embarrassedly: "If it was a real ghost this time, it wouldn't be so easy." ”
"Not necessarily." Murong Xi took a sip of chrysanthemum tea and said, "People are often more difficult to deal with than ghosts. ”
What he said seemed to mean something else. Tong Yao thought of the Jixiang Inn case that caused everyone a headache during this time.
"Anyway, are there any clues in the case of the Auspicious Inn? I heard that Shen Gongzi seems to have found something. ”
The progress of the case is confidential to the government and cannot be revealed too much, Murong Xi did not say specifically, only said that the clues they found were about the disappearance of Qingzhou tribute.
It's just that these two cases are related to Qingzhou, so they have been investigated together.
Speaking of this, Murong Xi's mood for eating was gone: "Shen Gongzi said that there are important things to discuss with me, and I will go back to the mansion first." ”。
As soon as Tong Yao sent Murong Xi away, Xiao Yue came and told her: The Tong family is in trouble again.
