Xiangling Town, which was immersed in the night, was awakened by the sudden firelight.

Qu Youying looked at the direction of the firelight, and her heart was pounding.

"It's the direction of Xie Fu." Qu Youying pointed anxiously ahead, "Faster!" ”

Mu Jingzhu whipped the horse, making the horse run faster.

Because of the fire in Xie Mansion, the scene was a little chaotic, and the guards at the gate did not prevent the two from entering.

"Where is the fire?"

Mu Jingzhu grabbed a person and asked, the man pointed to the courtyard on the south side and said, "It's the courtyard of the second young master." ”

"Xie Xiaoer's?" Qu Youying was curious, and then remembered that Xie Xiaoer was attacked one after another, so she pulled Mu Jingzhu's sleeve, "Let's go, go and see." ”

By the time the two of them arrived at Xie Xiaoer's yard, the fire had almost been extinguished.

Except for burning some of the goods, man is well.

Seeing Mu Jingzhu and Qu Youying appear, Xie Xiaoer greeted him very aggrieved.

He hugged Qu Youying's sleeve and cried endlessly.

"Woo...... I almost burned to death...... They must not be able to kill me...... Whining...... I haven't married a wife yet! I don't want to die...... Jing Candle, you must save me! ”

He is a big man, regardless of the presence of his subordinates, and the pitiful people want to beat him.

At least that's what Qu Youying thinks, being entangled by him, she can't get out if she wants to, so she can only give up.

Mu Jingzhu completely ignored his pity and asked, "Is Yang Wan'er in the mansion tonight?" ”

Because of their special status, they can't directly enter the courtyard of the female dependents to ask, and they don't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Yang Wan'er?" Xie Xiaoer blinked his big teary eyes, and thought for a while before saying, "I still see her tonight!" Because—"

He saw that the people around him were busy, so he pulled the two of them aside, covered his mouth with his hand, and lowered his voice before speaking.

"Because of the strange behavior of the captain every night, I have always kept a good eye on their father and daughter's whereabouts, especially at night and early in the morning. Rest assured, I will notify you of any anomaly. ”

"So Yang Wan'er didn't go out tonight?"

"Yes! Absolutely nothing. He raised his hands and swore an oath, "I swear." ”

Mu Jingzhu ignored his actions, and ordered with a cool mouth, "You go to her courtyard to see if she is okay, remember to see me." ”

"Why?"

Xie Xiaoer tilted his head, he was very reluctant to do that.

"If you are told to go, go quickly, where is so much nonsense!"

Qu Youying is different from Mu Jingzhu's cold violence, she has always been violent to Xie Xiaoer if she wants to be violent.

"Got it. Then you go in first and sit down, and I'll go back as soon as I go. ”

Xie Xiaoer rubbed his kicked buttocks, and left pitifully.

Qu Youying took Mu Jingzhu's hand and swaggered to the guest room on the side to wait.

It didn't take long for Xie Xiaoer to come back, not only did he come back, but he also brought some fruits.

"This is what Yang Wan'er has to give me, it's cheap for you."

"So are you sure Yang Wan'er is okay? Kindly gave you fruit? ”

"Of course!" Xie Xiaoer sat down on the chair, took an apple, wiped it and nibbled on it, "When I went, she happened to be walking out, because she heard that my yard was running water, so she wanted to come and see the situation." It's a direct shot, and you can't go wrong. ”

Qu Youying frowned, she held her chin in front of her chest with one hand and the other hand, thinking.

"Since she's here, and there haven't been any accidents, are we wrong?"

Mu Jingzhu was silent, as if he was also puzzled.

Xie Xiaoer looked at this, then at that, and smelled a hint of gossip.

"What the hell is going on? Does it have anything to do with Yang Wan'er? Tell me about it! Maybe I can help! ”

He blinked his gossip eyes, and the bottom of his eyes glowed, more dazzling than the fire that had just soared into the sky.

The corners of Qu Youying's mouth twitched, in this case, Mu Jingzhu didn't speak, she would never speak.

Not long after, Mu Jingzhu stood up from his chair under Xie Xiaoer's expectant eyes.

"Since she lives in your house, you have to pay close attention to her whereabouts these days, and you must tell me the truth about anyone who comes into contact with her, the things and food she touches, no matter how big or small."

He coldly dropped such an order, and then dragged Qu Youying's hand and left.

Leaving Xie Xiaoer alone wailing, Qu Youying was already surprised.

"You say, why does he only wail! I don't know what to do against you, and if you don't want it, you don't want to. ”

Mu Jingzhu carried her on the horse, and when he heard this, he smiled, "Because he can't beat me." ”

The corners of Qu Youying's mouth raised, "I accept this reason." Because it's a fact, haha......"

She smiled happily, and despite the many doubts in her heart, she had to look forward to everything, and one day the truth would be revealed.

When she returned to Qufu, after she was already a child, she simply freshened up and fell asleep.

And Mu Jingzhu rode a horse to Mufu, and when he passed the abandoned house on Fengling Street, he slowed down.

There, he saw a homeless man, with a flask in one hand, staggering towards the ruined house.

Because the yamen is working, the door of the abandoned house is locked to prevent outsiders from entering and leaving.

The homeless man went to the wall to the left of the door, sat down, held the jug, and fell asleep.

Mu Jingzhu glanced at him, and did not drive him away, so he rode away.

The next day, the genius was bright, and Zhang Dahu, who lived on Fengling Street, went out to shop.

As he passed the gate of the abandoned house, he found that the gate had been opened.

"The people of the Yamen are so early today?"

Curious, he drove the ox cart to that place.

Because after the yamen brought back a large number of white bones, the surrounding neighbors said that it was terrifying.

But Zhang Dahu has been engaged in the slaughtering industry since he was a child, and for people who believe in ghosts and gods, this kind of person is very evil.

He is a man who fears even demons.

Therefore, he was not afraid of any white bones, and he passed by the door several times and saw the people of the yamen busy inside.

But today's glance, it was not an instinctive glance, but he saw a green light inside.

Because I was curious, I took a look.

But for the first time he saw it, his legs went limp, his eyes widened, and his whole body trembled.

He tried to escape, but found that his feet couldn't move, and he let the green light in the abandoned mansion come out and wrap around his wrists.

Pulled him in.

It was a hand, a dry bone full of green light!

Then the entire door of the house was closed without warning.

The wooden gate didn't even make a sound.

It was as if nothing had happened except for an ox cart parked in front of the door.

Until Baiqiu went to work, he went to the abandoned house to check the bones......

When the Yamen Shangqu Mansion notified Qu Youying to go to the autopsy, she was dreaming that she grabbed Mu Jingzhu's pigtails.

Just as he was about to beat him up and convince him, he was woken up by Yun Shu.

"Miss, something happened to the abandoned house on Fengling Street, and Young Master Jing Zhu sent someone to ask you to come over immediately."

"There are nothing but white bones and white bones, can it be resurrected?" Qu Youying turned over, hugged the quilt, and was sleepy, "Don't make noise with me, let him wait." ”

In the face of the young lady who loves to lie in bed, Yun Shu has always had a way.

She put aside the clothes Qu Youying was going to wear, squatted down, close to her ear, and whispered.

"Miss, do you remember that some time ago, the master put you under house arrest and said that he wanted to tell you about kissing? The slave has already found some eyebrows, and if the young lady wants to know, she should hurry up. ”

Really!

Qu Youying opened her eyes in an instant, and the sharpness in her eyes was close to Yun Shu.

"Who is it?"

"Well, this one!"

Yun Shu pursed his lips, as if he was a little difficult to speak.

"Speak quickly!"

"It seems to be...... Master Jing Candle. ”

"What!"

Qu Youying instantly fell asleep, and she knew that if she wanted to be told about her family, Mu Jingzhu would definitely be included.

But the last thing she wants to marry is Mu Jingzhu.

Because he knew her so well, so familiar that she didn't know himself so well.

At that moment, she lifted the quilt, sat down on the bed, and ordered, "Change my clothes." ”

Yun Shu pursed his lips and smiled, "Yes." ”

After she finished grooming Qu Youying, Qu Youying went out with the toolbox.

Although her father has not lifted the ban on her, her father does not have much to say about the work of the yamen, otherwise it will be an obstacle to official business.

What's more, now that the Taiwei is still there, the matter of the hundred bones has not yet been resolved, so Qu Qingyang can only turn a blind eye.

After Qu Youying left, Xiaoshu stood at the door with a kettle, looked at Yun Shu who was smiling, and sighed.

"You lied to Miss like this, she knew she would be angry."

"That's better than Young Master Jing Zhu getting angry!" Yun Shu smiled proudly, "And about the family affairs that the second room told the young lady, I still think that Young Master Jing Zhu is the best." ”

Xiaoshu smiled, didn't say anything more, and went down to work.

And here, Qu Youying was holding back her stomach in her heart, and rushed to Fengling Street in a hurry.

There, there were already a lot of residents watching the excitement, all of them poked their heads to look in, and communicated from time to time.

"The doors are locked, what are they looking at?"

Qu Youying squeezed through the crowd to the door, and before she could enter, she smelled a very strong smell of blood.

She frowned instantly, and walked inside holding her breath.

"What's wrong?"

There weren't many people in the yard, and most of the catchers were outside to stop the residents from approaching.

There are only Mu Jingzhu, Bai Qiu, Xie Xiaoer, and two quick catchers with quick hands and feet.

They all gathered around, knowing that Qu Youying was coming in, they didn't disperse, but just waved at her.

"See for yourself."

The more they were like this, the more curious Qu Youying became.

She stepped forward quickly, and walked around from the left side of the wooden candle.

In the center of the small circle around them, there was a ragged homeless man sitting on the ground, looking down and nibbling on something in his hands.

I was very hungry like that, so I ate deliciously.

"Blood?"

Qu Youying frowned because she saw that the homeless man's mouth was full of blood.

And he didn't gnaw on any cooked meat, but a severed arm.

The owner of the severed arm was right in front of him, a man in a coarse cloth coat.

He was on his back, his eyes closed, and a reassuring smile on his face.

And the place below the neck was gnawed to a blur of flesh and blood, and the tooth marks were the traces of the human mouth.

"Gross-"

Qu Youying couldn't hold back for a while, holding Mu Jingzhu's arm with one hand, bending over and retching.
