At this point, Shen He brought the owner over.

When a few people walked outside, they saw a fat old woman in her fifties, crying with a sad face, and her expression was still a little trance, it seemed that this time she was not scared. Driven by curiosity, he looked in the direction of the main house, closed his eyes, and shouted Amitabha Buddha with his hands together.

Shen Lingjun took pity on her old age and was frightened, so he asked her to take a stool to sit down on, and then asked, "This house is yours?" What is the person who rents a renter called? ”

The landlady's mother-in-law was restless and a little nervous: "If you go back to your lordship, this house belongs to the grass people, and it was rented to this Liu Gongzi by someone half a year ago." Alas, which one wants to ...... It's hard to rent out a dead person's house. ”

Shen Lingjun heard the key from it and asked, "Young Master Liu?" What is his full name and where is he from? ”

The landlady spread her hands and sighed: "Everyone is called Liu Gongzi, and the accent is local, but what is the full name, this ...... The old woman really can't think of it, but he doesn't live alone, and he has a little lady. ”

Shen Lingjun knocked on the handle of the knife with one hand, and his black eyes narrowed slightly: "Little lady? Is it the wife of this Liu Gongzi? ”

The landlady has a complicated look and is not easy to explain.

Zhao Qi understood what it meant when he saw this expression, and said happily: "Either eloped or raised a small one outside." ”

Ye Qingzhi kicked him, this person is not serious.

Unexpectedly, the landlady acquiesced: "Everyone understands this kind of thing, and they won't ask it openly, anyway, if you rent a house, I will just collect the money." ”

"Why didn't we see this little lady of Liu Gongzi?" Shen Lingjun pulled the topic back.

Hearing this, the landlady frowned: "Since renting in, the little couple is affectionate and loving, often in and out of the pair, the two men and women are said to be very compatible, and they are also kind, and they get along well with the surrounding neighbors." But a month ago, the little lady of this family suddenly disappeared. ”

"Missing? Didn't you report to the official? Ye Qingzhi wondered.

The landlady's mother-in-law is a little calmer now, and looks at Ye Qingzhi: "It seems that he left a letter, this is a good thing to leave suddenly, Liu Gongzi has been sad for a while, looking everywhere every day, I see that he has been comforted twice." Alas, I didn't expect him to be so infatuated and didn't pass this hurdle. ”

"It turned out that I was trapped by love." Zhao Qi concluded.

Su Mu, who had never spoken, said, "What is the name of this woman?" ”

The landlady turned her head to look at him, and her heart skipped a beat, thinking that this handsome boy is also from the Yamen?

"Oh, I heard that Liu Gongzi call her Ange, Ange sounds similar to my brother, so I remember it very well." The landlady said truthfully.

"Ange?!" Shen Lingjun couldn't help but exclaim.

The landlady didn't know why the adult was so surprised, so she cautiously asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Lingjun waved his hand, and then continued to ask, the landlady didn't know any more, so he turned to Shen He and said, "Send the old man back?" ”

Before leaving, the landlady hesitated and asked, "Did this Liu Gongzi commit suicide or ......?"

As soon as I came, a living young man died like this, and I felt a little pity. Besides, I heard that the people he killed were very angry, and she had to find a mage to exorcise evil spirits, and in the future, she could only rent it cheaply to unsuspecting outsiders.

Thinking of this, I sighed deeply, what is this.

Shen Lingjun said in a businesslike tone: "The house has been sealed first, and it will be returned to you when the government finds it out." ”

The landlady nodded, and was about to leave, when a stack of silver tickets appeared in front of her: "Uh......"

Su Mu said lightly: "Is it enough to buy your yard?" ”

The landlady looked at this handsome son-in-law who was not like a mortal, and nodded uncertainly: "Enough...... That's enough. ”

Shen Lingjun saw the landlady's mother-in-law walking with joyful steps, as if he was afraid that Su Musha would regret it, and rushed out with a lightness that was not commensurate with her posture.

"What are you doing when you buy a house that has been dead, maybe it's a murderous house?" Shen Lingjun had an expression of "You give me more money" and reprimanded.

Su Musha looked at her and said lightly: "Maybe that woman will come back." ”

"Speaking of this...... Shen Lingjun shouted to Li Yi: "Send someone to find a woman, about twenty, whose name is An Ge." ”

"That's all?" Li Yi was embarrassed, and under this condition, he could find thousands of them, and muttered in a low voice: "It's better to have a portrait or something." ”

Ye Qingzhi walked over and said, "There is pen and ink in the room, I will draw a picture for you now." ”

Li Yi nodded, is Miss Ye more reliable?

Although Ye Qingzhi felt that it didn't matter, Zhao Qi felt that it was really strange to paint in the dead man's room, so he asked Luo Cheng to take pen and ink to the courtyard.

Taking advantage of Ye Qingzhi's time to paint, Zhao Qi asked Luo Cheng and the play to find out who that Liu Gongzi was.

After a while, after Ye Qingzhi finished painting, Zhao Qi picked it up and took a look, although a few strokes were simple, but he drew the charm of the woman in the painting, and he could recognize the person when he saw it.

Li Yi took the painting before going down, a black shadow flashed, and one person fell in the courtyard.

"General." Kagura appeared in front of everyone, clasped his fists and said, "There will be another sacrifice in Jingling Village at night. ”

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "Who are you going to sacrifice this time?" ”

Kagura shook her head: "I don't know yet, I let Liangyue stare there." ”

A few people walked out, ready to have lunch, and went to Jingling Village to see what else they wanted to do.

When he went out, Shen Lingjun was amused, stopped, and looked at Su Musha with a smile: "By the way, Brother Su, you have a lot of houses, I don't know how many little ladies you have brought back to hide." ”

Su Musha was speechless for a while, and Shen Lingjun wanted to make fun of him at any time.

Originally, I didn't plan to pay attention to it, but looking at Shen Lingjun's smiling and shining eyebrows, he still said: "The little lady doesn't have it, but it's ......"

"But what?" Shen Lingjun raised his head slightly, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he looked like he was smiling but not smiling.

Su Musha lowered his eyes and looked at each other, with a light smile on his face, and said slowly: "The little witch has one, and she also has a group of friends. ”

L.A. was really efficient, and as soon as the meal was on the table, he came back with the news.

"That Liu Gongzi's real name is Jin Yuanyu." Saying that, Luo Cheng looked at Zhao Qi and said, "General, you still know his father." ”

Zhao Qi was struggling with a crab, and finally lost helplessly, and said absentmindedly: "Oh? ”

Luo Cheng picked up chopsticks and poked a piece of Dongpo meat, it was too cooked and rotten, and he twitched the corner of his mouth and replied: "Jin Yuan, the former Chinese scholar." ”

Zhao Qi nodded: "It's him." ”

"Hmm." Luo Cheng nodded and picked up a large piece of ribs: "Three years ago, he resigned and returned to his hometown, but he didn't expect to be in this Yongning Mansion." But I've been out of the house for the past few days, and it will take two or three days to come back. ”

Shen Lingjun just wanted to say that he was going to visit, so he had to wait a little longer: "Is there anything else?" ”

Luo Cheng bit off a large piece of meat, looked up and said, "I found out that he went to a place called Bingxin Pavilion the day before he died. ”

"Ice Heart Pavilion, where is it?"

He tilted his head during the play: "A lot of places where beautiful girls dance." ”

Zhao Qi laughed: "Don't forget to be happy before you die." ”

Ye Qingzhi glared at him: "Speak a little bit of morality." ”

"One dead and one injured, there are many suspicious points in this case." Su Mu said in a voice.

Shen Lingjun knocked on the table and pondered: "But this matter is not in a hurry, first solve the end of Jingling Village." ”

Taking advantage of the gap in the afternoon, Ye Qingzhi examined the inside of the corpse and determined that it was suffocation and death, and there was no sign of poisoning.

Shen Lingjun felt that the top priority was to find the woman named An Ge, but this person seemed to have disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't even find Luocheng.

On the day of the full moon, the remnant sun is still nostalgic for a long time and refuses to set, and the cloud-white full moon has hung in the eastern sky.

When Shen Lingjun and the others were about to go out of the city, they met Tang Tang, who was walking around with Shen Changfeng, and when they heard that there was a lively scene, they had to follow.

When the crowd arrived at the San River, it was already dark, and the moon was like a silver platter overhead.

A few people were going to observe first, but stopped at a distance from the villagers.

From a distance, torches lined up in a line, with a fire in the middle, and a group of masked people dancing.

Tang Tang found a high ground to see more clearly, and said excitedly: "Wow, it's fun." ”

"It's not the same as last time." Shen Lingjun said.

Su Musha looked at it for a while, and the dancer was wearing a hideous mask, and his body twisted like a water snake, so he said, "They are sacrificing to water ghosts." ”

"What is a water ghost?" Zhao Qi has been in the northwest all the year round, so he doesn't know much about these.

Ye Qingzhi stared into the distance and said: "Legend has it that the water ghost is the head of a human and the body of a snake, and it will appear after the rain and water rise every year, and people will die when they see it." ”

Zhao Qi pouted: "Blind toss." ”

Shen Lingjun shook his head and said: "The custom is here, if it weren't for the use of human sacrifice this time to make human lives, the government would not be able to control these things." ”

At this moment, the dancer led everyone to the river, and two strong men came out of the shadows beside them, their hands raised above their heads, and in their hands was a tightly bound man, but his body was unusually small.

Tang Tang saw it clearly: "It's a child!" ”

Shen Lingjun frowned: "It's too unusual." ”

Zhao Qi turned his head to Luo Cheng and said, "I'll throw that patriarch in first." ”

Ye Qingzhi said lightly: "Don't mess around." ”

"Hey, they're on board." Tang Tang pointed to the distance and said.

Everyone followed, and when they got closer, they found that an ancient ship as black as ink was moored in the river, and the torches and the bright moon illuminated the boat.

At this time, the ship was carrying dozens of strangely dressed people, with human bodies and bird heads, which looked very strange in this dark night, and added to the fear.

Shen Lingjun squatted on a high place and said to everyone: "Mu Mu and I will go to the boat first to have a look." ”

After that, the red shadow jumped out first, like a gust of wind, fluttering back and forth.

Then the white shadow followed, clinging to the red figure, like a shadow.

Tang Tang held his face with both hands, starry eyes: "It's a good match!" He bumped Shen Changfeng with his elbow: "Isn't it, stinky Taoist." ”

Shen Changfeng looked at the front of him with red and white, his clothes fluttering, red and white intertwined, the person in the painting was just like that, nodded and smiled slightly: "Indeed." ”

Zhao Qi crossed his arms and smiled: "The pride of the sky." ”

Ye Qingzhi watched quietly, with some envy in her eyes, her body was destined to have no chance with martial arts in this life.

Everyone else gathered at the bow of the boat, so Shen Lingjun and Su Mu fell to the stern.

Shen Lingjun whispered: "I'll see if there are any suspicious people." ”

Su Musha nodded, neither he nor Shen Ling believed in ghosts and gods, and the death of the wizard was definitely man-made, this time, this person might still make a move.

As for the purpose of the person behind the scenes, is it as simple as destroying the sacrifice?
