Chapter 157: Su Family Compound (I)
Night.
The Su family compound is brightly lit.
Fang Yue and Su Youhao, the eldest master of the Su family, sat opposite each other, and the next to sit were Su Qingbo, the eldest young master of the Su family, and Xu Zhutou of the county government of Longcheng County.
"Fang Shaoxia, the Su family encountered this strange thing, and people died one after another, up and down, in a panic. I tried a lot of monks and Taoists to do it, but it didn't work.
If you can help our Su family solve this strange matter and keep our Su family's house safe, our Su family has nothing else, and some financial gifts must be indispensable to Shaoxia. ”
Su Youhao looked tired, obviously he hadn't slept well for several days.
While saying good things to Fang Yue, he made a heavy salute, hoping that Fang Yue could help the Su family through this catastrophe with his heart.
Up to now, since the first Yuncui, eight people in the Su family have died.
They all died in the same way, that is, their heads were cut off and then brought up from the well.
The first Yun Cui died, and after his head was found by Su Baisan from the well next to the back kitchen of the Su family, the well next to the back kitchen had been sealed.
After all, it soaked people's heads, and no one dared to drink the well water in the short term.
The second time, another subordinate of the Su family ran to the well in a daze to draw water, and brought up another head, which belonged to another subordinate of the Su family.
After the second time, Su Youhao asked people to fill in the well next to the back kitchen with mud.
However, such an approach obviously cannot solve the problem.
The remaining heads of the Su family were found from the wells of the people around the Su family's compound.
After the death of the third person, the Su family temporarily moved out of the Su family compound, and at the same time invited monks and Taoists to practice.
It's a pity that it's still useless, after staying away from the Su family compound, every few days, there will still be a head of the Su family, which will be found from the wells of other families around the Su family compound.
There was no way, the Su family returned to the Su family compound.
Su Youhao thought of a way to divide the rest of the Su family into groups of three people, so that the three of them could stay together all the time, even if they went to the toilet, they had to be together, and they must not be out of sight of each other.
He wanted to find out what was going on in this way.
It's amazing that this method actually works, as long as they don't look out of each other's eyes, nothing will happen.
But it is obviously impossible for a triple room to never be out of sight of each other, and there is always an oversight, especially when sleeping.
In order to solve this problem, when he went to bed at night, Su Youhao asked two groups of six people to stay in one place, and three people took turns to keep vigil at a time.
This method temporarily kept the Su family safe, but it was obviously not a long-term solution.
And it's also extremely inconvenient to always stay in one place with three people and not be out of sight.
An negligence, even for only a few minutes, out of the sight of others, will inexplicably encounter an accident and lose your head.
Then the head will be found in the well.
So even after the three of them were divided into a group, the Su family still lost a few people.
Fang Yue listened to Su Youhao tell these details, and thought about it, what the hell is going on.
Ghosts? Monster? A sideliner? Demon? Cultists? The one who got the trick? Or is it something else?
Or maybe a warrior or a monk is pretending to be a god?
This, I can use the magic power to take a peek at it later.
As long as you find the culprit, the rest will be easy.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a commotion in the courtyard outside.
Su Youhao's face changed, and he ordered a few subordinates standing on the side to go outside to see what was happening.
Originally, only one subordinate was required to run once, but now three subordinates are required to act together.
Su Youhao was worried about whether someone died again, and someone from the courtyard came in.
But it was Zhu Yueyun, the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Su family, who was leading a middle-aged Taoist in.
This middle-aged Taoist is quite handsome.
Su Youhao glanced at his eldest son Su Qingbo, and Su Qingbo reluctantly stood up from the chair, greeted him, and said, "Madam, where have you been?" Why are you only coming back now. ”
Zhu Yueyun snorted disdainfully, interrupted Su Qingbo's words, didn't give her husband face at all, and said, "Where do you want to take care of the old lady?"
was choked, Su Qingbo's face suddenly turned blue and red for a while, he was a rich boy who wanted to save face, but he couldn't be angry with his own lady.
The Su family's business wants to become bigger, and it all depends on Zhu Yueyun's mother's family to take care of the official.
As long as Zhu Yueyun's mother's family said a word, the Su family, the landlord of Longcheng County, would be wiped out in an instant.
With such a strong mother's support, coupled with Zhu Yueyun's unreasonable and unreasonable temperament, Su Qingbo couldn't get angry at all in front of Zhu Yueyun.
Zhu Yueyun snatched a few words from her husband and glanced at the others in the hall.
Xu Zhutou also stood up from the chair at this time and greeted her politely: "Grandma Su."
Zhu Yueyun nodded slightly, which was regarded as a response to Xu Zhutou's greeting.
Then he ignored his father-in-law Su Youhao, who was sitting on the main seat, and walked straight to the backyard with the middle-aged Taoist who was immortal.
Fang Yue looked at it from the sidelines, and he knew a little bit about this Su family's eldest and youngest grandmother, Zhu Yueyun.
She was the illegitimate daughter of Zhu Guanhe, the prefect of Yannan Prefecture, who was outside, and only later took her back to the Zhu family.
Originally, illegitimate daughters had no status, but Zhu Guanhe's several sons were born with such a daughter, who was extremely loved, which also developed Zhu Yueyun's pampered character.
As for the illegitimate daughter of the prefect, why she would marry a merchant like the Su family, Fang Yue is unknown.
But speaking of which, illegitimate daughters have no status, and they can't marry the right people.
It is actually not bad to marry one of the richest families in the county like the Su family, and to be a young grandmother who has no worries about food and clothing.
Fang Yue didn't care too much about Zhu Yueyun, but it was the middle-aged Taoist she brought back that attracted Fang Yue's attention.
The aura on that person's body is not strong, and it looks like a shrimp in the early stage of qi induction.
However, Fang Yue couldn't be sure that he was a charlatan for a while, or he hid his cultivation.
"That's right." Fang Yue thought of a question, so he asked Su Youhao, "Your Su family and the Zhu Governor of Yannan Mansion are in-laws, something strange happened to the Su family, why didn't the Zhu Governor solve it in the first place?" ”
Su Youhao said: "I have long asked people to go to Fucheng for help, but Zhu Zhifu said that there is no spare Baiyun Palace here in Yannan Mansion for a while, and we have to wait for someone from above." Then wait until Fang Shaoxia and you come. ”
Fang Yue thought about it, in each prefecture city, there would be a few Baiyun Palaces stationed to deal with the supernatural events in the land of a mansion.
Now Yannan Mansion can't draw manpower, and has to wait for people from other places, I'm afraid it is related to the Martial Saint cheats.
The martial arts in the north of Yunzhou are prosperous, and the Baiyun Palace in the five prefectures is enshrined, and it is also dominated by innate warriors.
Now these innate martial artists are afraid to focus on the martial saint cheats.
The significance of the Martial Saint Cheats to the martial artist is self-evident.
The Baiyun Palace itself has no binding force on these outer gate offerings, and it is to attract them to complete the task by virtue of merit.
However, the attraction of martial saint cheats to innate martial artists is obviously much greater than the treasures, cheats, talismans, pills and other things that can be exchanged for merit.
