Seeing Li Ping and others walking in, Ning Xiang hurriedly greeted him, and Chu Lixue also stood up, "Li Ping, what's going on?" Why is it so embarrassing? ”

"Miss, it's really annoying, just now when I went to pick up the remnant snow with the remnant moon, I met the people of the Guo family, they even wanted to search our baggage, the remnant moon was angry and fought with them, and later, when King Chen came, they were not so arrogant."

"What? What kind of thing is their Guo family, so quickly thinking of usurping Miss's property? Ning Xiang said angrily.

"Of course, I stole a house from them, and of course they want to snatch something from me, but my things are not something they can snatch if they want."

"Miss, don't worry, King Chen has given an order, and no one is allowed to move the things in Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter, it's nothing more than some silver taels and silver tickets, money is something outside the body, there is no more, as long as people are alive, they can earn it again."

"Miss, in fact, don't worry, your subordinates have already brought out all the valuable ones." Li Ping smiled and took out a small cloth bag from his arms and said.

Chu Lixue took the cloth bag and opened it to see that it was full of the title deeds of her own shops and some large-denomination silver tickets. This really surprised Chu Lixue, thinking that these things might still need her to get them through the secret passage, but she didn't expect Li Ping to take all the things back for herself.

That's fine, although she is not short of money to spend, but she can't ask for all the expenses from the Dingguo Mansion, even if they are a nominal father-daughter, mother-daughter relationship, they can't reach out to them to ask for money.

"Li Ping, you will take a look at the mansion in the east of the city with me and Ning Xiang tomorrow, and by the way, I will also ask the craftsman how to renovate the garden."

"Yes, miss."

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Lixue took Ning Xiang and Li Ping to the door of the house in the east of the city. When standing in front of that house, Chu Lixue felt a chill that made people shudder.

A gust of wind blew, and the plaque on the gate creaked, crumbling, and could fall at any moment. Looking at the broken door plaque, you can vaguely see the words Changyi Garden written on it.

"Li Ping, you go to the craftsman, and by the way, inquire about the previous situation of this garden nearby." Chu Lixue said lightly.

Li Ping took the order to leave, and Chu Lixue was just about to step into the garden, when Ning Xiang grabbed Chu Lixue's sleeve and said a little timidly: "Master, let's not go in, it looks really weird here." ”

"Hehe, weird? If you are afraid, just wait at the door, and I'll go in and see it alone. Chu Lixue said lightly.

After finishing speaking, Chu Lixue walked into the house, Ning Xiang hesitated at the door for a while, and decided to walk in with Chu Lixue.

"Master, this place is so desolate, will there be ghosts?" Ning Xiang looked around nervously.

"How can there be ghosts in this broad daylight, there are no ghosts in this world, even if there are ghosts, there are ghosts in the hearts of bad people." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.

Immediately, Ning Xiang followed Chu Lixue closely into the inner courtyard, and in the remains of the fire, there were bursts of foul smell faintly emitted.

Suddenly, an unknown object passed through, Chu Lixue was suddenly shocked in her heart, although she didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world, but if something passed through in such a desolate place, she would also be frightened.

"Master, let's go, just ...... What the hell was it that I was wearing? Ning Xiang stammered.

Hearing the sound of Ning Xiang's teeth chattering, Chu Lixue's heart couldn't help but be suspicious, it was definitely not a ghost that I wore just now, let alone a wild cat or something, but a person, I just don't know who that person is? Beggars?

"Ning Xiang, you wait for me here, I'll go inside and take a look." Chu Lixue looked at a pile of ruins and said lightly. Immediately, he also squeezed a bag of poison powder tightly in his hand.

When you come to the charred ruins, you can clearly see the previous decorations here, which are still very magnificent, but it is really a little incredible that such a large house can be burned like this overnight.

Suddenly, Chu Lixue stepped on something under her feet, squatted down and took a look, it turned out to be a deformed oil pot that had been burned, which showed that the fire was not an accident, but a human being.

At this moment, half of his face emerged from the dark corner of the house, "Ah...... Hell, ......" Ning Xiang screamed and fainted.

"Ningxiang, what's wrong with you?" Chu Lixue heard Ning Xiang's shout, and hurriedly looked in the direction where she was, but saw nothing, stepped forward, helped Ning Xiang up, leaned on her arms, took out a white porcelain bottle from the purse on her waist, poured out a red pill and sent it into Ning Xiang's mouth.

After about a cup of tea, Ning Xiang woke up slowly, "Master, master, the slave really saw a ghost just now, let's go quickly, this ghost dares to come out in broad daylight, it's terrible." ”

Hearing this, Chu Lixue comforted Ning Xiang, and suddenly got up and said aloud to the desolate courtyard: "Come out, don't pretend to be a ghost anymore." ”

There was silence in response to Chu Lixue, and immediately, Chu Lixue continued: "I know that you are human, if you have any difficulties, you might as well say it, maybe I can help you." Now this mansion is compensated to me by the Guo family, I will not let it be desolate, if you come out and tell me clearly, after renovating the garden, you can live here openly. ”

When he said this, he had vaguely heard a sound of laughter, but this sound was interrupted by Li Ping's voice.

"Miss, everything you want me to do has been done, many craftsmen refuse to come to this house when they hear it, only these two are willing, but the money they ask for is twice as high as others." Li Ping glared angrily at the two craftsmen.

Hearing this, Chu Lixue said lightly: "It's okay, there is no problem with double the salary, you can come over to renovate from tomorrow, if you need anything, you can tell Li Ping beside you." ”

When the two craftsmen heard that they could have twice the salary, they were overjoyed, and there was this man present when they were renovating, and he looked very powerful, and with him, there was nothing to fear from these craftsmen.

"Yes, please rest assured, Miss. Tomorrow morning, my brother and I will come to repair the garden. The craftsman agreed.

"Okay, then you can go back and prepare first, when Miss Jiang has finished drawing the drawings in this garden, you can renovate according to the drawings, here is the fixed amount of ten taels of silver, you take it first." After finishing speaking, Chu Lixue took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from her waist and threw it at the two craftsmen.

The two craftsmen happily took the silver into their arms and walked out.

"Li Ping, go and see who is hiding in that corner." Chu Lixue pointed to the corner just now and said softly.

Hearing this, Li Ping looked cautiously at the dark corner, and immediately, slowly approached step by step. Just as Li Ping's long sword pierced into the dark corner, a woman in coarse cloth clothes suddenly rushed out from the other side of the corner, saw that she had raised a wooden board high in her hand, and was about to smash it towards Li Ping.

Li Ping's figure flashed, and he kicked towards it, and the woman was kicked away by Li Ping, slammed into the wall, and then fell to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

"Xiaoman, Xiaoman, you're okay Xiaoman." An unknown object hiding in a dark corner rushed out and cried out holding the woman on the ground.

The reason why she is said to be an unknown object is because she is wrapped in rags all over her body, only one pair of eyes are exposed, and everything else is not visible, and there is a foul smell coming from her body.

"Who are you?" Li Ping's long sword pointed at the two people on the ground and said coldly.

"We ...... We ......" the tightly wrapped woman staggered.

"Say it quickly, if you're not honest, uncle, my sword doesn't have eyes." Li Ping said coldly.

"Please don't kill us." The woman kowtowed to Li Ping.

Chu Lixue looked at her, and there was a strong stench on her body, thinking that she must have some kind of disease, and there were a lot of sores on her body.

"Take off your face towel and let the uncle see what you look like."

"I ...... I'm too ugly to scare you, so don't look at it. The woman said timidly.

"Uncle, I'm not afraid of anything, if you don't take off the scarf, then I will have to kill you."

"No, then you must be prepared."

Immediately, Li Ping hummed, looked at the woman condescendingly, and saw that some of the strips of cloth on the woman's hand had fallen off, revealing the skin full of abscesses, and he suddenly felt very disgusted. But when the woman took off her scarf, Li Ping almost threw up breakfast.

A burnt face, with no intact skin except for scars and abscesses, just a pair of eyes that people can't forget at a glance.

Ning Xiang saw such a look. was suddenly so frightened that she couldn't speak, and Chu Lixue looked at the woman who was covered in injuries, "You were burned by the fire in this house." Chu Lixue was very sure.

Hearing this, the woman looked at Chu Lixue, and immediately climbed in front of Chu Lixue, "This young lady, we have already heard what you just said, this is your house, we will not stay here anymore, it's just that my sister was injured by this person just now, you ...... Can you give me some money and let me take her to the doctor? ”

"What? Do you still dare to ask for money? If it weren't for your sisters, who pretended to be a ghost and tried to attack me, I wouldn't have hurt her, but if I didn't strike hard, she wouldn't have died. Li Ping said disdainfully.

"Li Ping, you are a person who practices martial arts, and if your shot is not heavy, it will already be seriously injured on someone who does not know martial arts."

"But Miss, they ......"

"Forget it, they're poor too. I have a pill for internal injuries here, you take it to your sister and take one a day, and she will be fine in five days. After finishing speaking, Chu Lixue handed a small porcelain vase to the woman's hand.

The woman took the pill and fed it to her sister, and after a while, the woman's sister slowly opened her eyes. In fact, she didn't know why she believed in the brightly dressed woman in front of her, but intuitively decided that she was a kind person, and at the same time a person who could help her clear her mind.

Thinking of this, the woman quickly ran to Chu Lixue and blocked the way she was about to leave. "This young lady, I just heard you say that this mansion was compensated to you by the Guo family, I think you must be a big man, I beg you, can you help me take revenge?"

"Help you get revenge? I heard you right. Your revenge, why don't you revenge yourself, why do you want to get involved with my young lady. Li Ping looked at the woman vigilantly and said.
