Chapter Fifty-Nine: Danger Arises

59.

This Shangshu Mansion has such a tragic case of extermination, and it is still deserted for a while, but although it is deserted, after all, it was once a Shangshu Mansion, but it is not an ordinary people's home, and every three or five times there are mothers-in-law to clean up, and by the way, they also put incense to worship those dead souls.

I heard that Li Shangshu's old mother brought an aunt and a concubine to return to her senses at that time, so she escaped a while. The Li family has never been a small family, and after that incident, the emperor also gave a lot of pensions, so Li Shangshu's widow and mother can live well. It's just that I haven't been back to live in this mansion.

When he came to Shangshu Mansion with the song, he used Chen Sangjiao's market technique in the back to easily open the back door. Originally, the back door of everyone's big family was guarded by a small servant, and no matter how bad it was, there were maids and women who lived in the backyard, so someone sneaked in and was discovered a long time ago. It's just that this Shangshu Mansion is now empty, like a ghost house, and no one will care about breaking in with the song.

It's been more than a year since that incident, but everything around is chaotic, and although there is no blood and stumps for a long time, you can still see that even this backyard is a mess. The water tank was smashed, and the broken tiles were scattered all over the ground, and there was no one to clean them up; The baskets of straw lay haphazardly in the middle of the road; The cracked wood was covered with new grass, and if you look closely, you will find that the ground is covered with tiles and wood slag. The houses where the maids lived in the backyard seemed to have also been destroyed, and the ruins were everywhere.

But after walking through the backyard and entering the inner courtyard, I found that in addition to the courtyard overgrown with weeds, the porch of the main house was wiped clean. The hollow carved door of the main room was open at the moment, and a few wisps of white smoke floated out of the room.

Sui Ge frowned, flipped his wrist, and let the silver lancet hidden in his sleeve fall into his hand, and with a slip of two fingers, the lancet was easily flipped open, and the silver handle was tightly held in Sui Ge's hand. Sui Song slowed down his pace and went around to the back of the carved door, and before he could get closer, he heard a small female voice coming from inside, muttering something as if to say something, the voice was soft and thin.

Sui Ge leaned his head in front of the crack in the window, and when he looked closely, he saw a seemingly petite woman wearing a jasper-colored skirt standing in the center of the hall, and in front of her was a large number of god cards. There is a very large three-layer shelf placed in the center of the house, and there are a lot of spiritual seats enshrined on the shelves, and the words on the top of the rank are not very well known with the song, at most I see the word "Li", it seems that it should be the spiritual position of the person who died unjustly in the Li family.

When I got closer, I could barely hear the girl whisper: "Grandma's health is getting worse and worse, and the weather is getting hotter today, and she has no appetite, and she is shouting to see you every day." The uncles of the Li family were all eyeing each other, and they were looking forward to grandma's legs stretching out......" The girl gritted her teeth and didn't say any more. After a while, he sighed again: "Tingxiu is a concubine and is not qualified to inherit all the property, but after all, she is the only bloodline left by the Li family, and my grandmother cares about me." It's just that Aunt She...... I messed with different men every day, and Tingxiu didn't know ......"

Before she could finish speaking, the girl noticed that there seemed to be someone behind her, turned her head sharply, and was silent in surprise, and all the incense she was still holding in her hand fell to the ground in panic.

Walking in front of the girl with the song, he bent down and picked up the incense scattered on the ground, while the fire was still not extinguished, blew it slightly, walked to the spiritual seat and bowed respectfully three times before inserting the incense burner.

The girl saw that Sui Ge didn't mean to hurt her at all, and her tense nerves relaxed a little, so she asked Sui Ge in a trembling voice: "Are you...... Who are you, and why did you trespass on my Li Mansion? ”

Sui Ge looked at the girl and asked rhetorically, "Are you Li Tingxiu, Li Shangshu's daughter?" ”

Li Tingxiu seemed a little surprised and nodded, "You, how do you know?" ”

After asking, he smiled bitterly: "Also, who doesn't know Li Shangshu in this capital is only one concubine." ”

Sui Ge didn't want to be a confidant sister, she directly expressed her intentions: "I am a catcher from Zhengzhou, I heard about Li Shangshu's mansion, I have many doubts, and I am more interested in this case, so I want to visit today to see if I can find any clues." ”

"Check?" Li Tingxiu's face did not have the slightest joy, but was full of coldness, "Everyone is dead, what else is there to investigate." It's time to check, Jinyiwei has already checked it back then, aren't you some people who like horror stories come to our Li Mansion to have fun, right? ”

Sui Ge raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that someone came to check after that, and I don't know if those people are good or kind.

Sui Ge took out the official certificate given to her by the emperor from her arms, and after Li Tingxiu confirmed it, she proposed to have a good chat with her.

Li Tingxiu was also surprised to know that she was an eight-rank official, after all, it seems that such a poor character can get such an official position, it seems that he is not a simple person, there must be something extraordinary.

Thinking of this, Li Tingxiu's eyes lit up.

Since it is a powerful catch, so suddenly turning back to investigate this case, isn't there any mystery in this case?!

After thinking for a while, Li Tingxiu readily agreed with Sui Ge's statement and led her to a quiet side hall.

The two walked one after the other, saying one sentence after another, but before they entered the side hall, Sui Ge suddenly grabbed Li Tingxiu's sleeve, frowned and asked, "You came with the maid today?" ”

Li Tingxiu shook her head and said in surprise: "No, after the Li Mansion is ruined, how can our lives be extravagant, the maid is absolutely unaffordable, and today I am the only one to come to incense the dead family." ”

Sui Ge made a silent motion, and she looked around vigilantly, and it was not difficult to notice that there seemed to be someone behind the door of the side hall. And the crisis sensing ability she had cultivated during her previous missions seemed to warn her that it was not safe here!

Sui Ge has always believed in her instincts, so she took out a packet of medicinal powder from her arms, held it in her hand, took Li Tingxiu's hand and ran in the direction of the main hall just now. The people in the room seemed to notice it, and sure enough, they broke down the door from the side hall and flew in the direction where they had fled.

Sui Ge didn't even look behind him, and when he walked to the yard, he sprinkled all the medicinal powder in the air, and then took advantage of the fact that the people behind him couldn't see clearly, and pulled Li Tingxiu to run in the direction of the rockery not far away. Behind him, there were coughs from several men, and one of them was heard roaring, "Hold your breath! ”

The powder seemed to work, but only one of them fell, and the remaining three still chased after them.

At this time, Sui Ge and Li Tingxiu barely hid in the cracks of the rockery, and Sui Ge kept covering the panicked Li Tingxiu's mouth with his hand, and his face was tense to pay attention to the movement outside. The three people didn't seem to have noticed anyone in the rockery, standing in the middle of the road where several courtyards intersected, and seemed to be discussing the search for each other, one of them went to the direction outside the house to look for it, and the remaining two stayed in the house.

"Damn, I must not have gone far, I dare to pack the tickets and those two girls are still here." One of them, a rugged man with a scar on his face, looked around viciously.

The tall and thin man standing opposite him reproached: "I told you to do it earlier, you didn't listen, now it's okay, if you lose it, the eldest lady will definitely not be able to spare you." ”

After saying that, the two scolded and went around looking for someone.

When the footsteps walked away, Sui Ge asked Li Tingxiu seriously: "Have you offended anyone recently?" ”

Li Tingxiu was already scared and her legs trembled, and her face was full of tears, "I...... I don't know...... My grandmother and I live in an old house in the west of the city, and we rarely come back here...... I've been coming back once a month for more than a year, and I haven't seen any of them......"

Isn't it that the same people who killed people back then are back? Li Tingxiu thought so, becoming more and more afraid, and choked in a low voice.

Sui Ge tightly twisted his eyebrows and ordered: "Don't cry, you don't want to recruit people again." ”

When Li Tingxiu heard this, she immediately held back, but her body couldn't stop trembling. After all, she is still a little girl, how not afraid.

While paying attention to the wind outside, Sui Song thought: Who could these people be? She has only recently come to the capital, and it is impossible for her to make enemies in the capital. If you want to talk about the gang of traffickers before, even if there are more than one party, they don't dare to arrest her like this openly. If the target is not her, it should be Li Shangshu's daughter.

But what's the use of catching a maid? And why do you have to catch it today? Could it be related to leukin?

Every time Sui Ge thought about a question, his brows furrowed a little. In the end, she still felt that sixty percent of the reason for this group was to arrest Li Tingxiu, in this case, if the two of them acted separately, at least one of them could be safe.

Thinking about it like this, Sui Ge didn't have time to say anything in detail to Li Tingxiu, so he simply said: "If something happens to me, go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion and let them go to Zuixianglou to find the boss." After giving this order, Sui Ge quickly ran out of the rockery's hiding place.

Li Tingxiu, who was left behind in the rockery. She pursed her lips and clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, silently reciting every word Sui Ge had just said.

And Sui Ge, who ran outside, was about to sneak back to the back door, intending to break through the back door. But I happened to meet the rugged man just now.

When the big man saw her, his eyes lit up and he shouted: "Sure enough, it's still here." Old five, backyard. ”

Look at the big man flying on the wall easily, and he is a person who knows martial arts. Sui Ge didn't know what his chances of winning were, but he knew that he had to get out as soon as possible before his accomplices arrived. She quickly took out all the powder from her arms and sprinkled it fiercely at the big man who flew over. Unbeknownst to him, the big man had already prepared, and he held his breath and raised his hand to chop at the song.

Flashed to the right with the song, tumbled to the ground, and rolled to the corner. She held the lancet tightly in her hand and dodged the Great Khan's attack with precision as he flew again, elbowing out and striking the Great Man in the chest. After the big man screamed bitterly, he put the internal force in the palm of his other hand and hit Sui Ge's back fiercely.

Sui Ge didn't know martial arts, but he felt that his five organs were jolting up and down, and a stream of blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth. She didn't bother to wipe away the blood, and her beautiful eyes were fixed on the back door. Sui Song cleverly rushed forward and picked up the lancet and slashed at the neck of the big man, and a bloody mark appeared on the big man's neck, and it was his artery that was cut. Taking advantage of the blood gushing out of the big man's neck, the big man fell to the ground in panic, and Sui Ge took the opportunity to run through the back door.

How do you know that when the back door of the fast track, the man like a bamboo pole fell from the sky, and carried seventy percent of the internal force to the direction of the song is a blow, and the song was hit by the powerful air current, and hit the side beam of the wooden door.

Then the thin man walked up to Sui Ge, sneered and sprinkled a handful of powder, and Sui Ge finally fainted. The thin man easily put Sui Ge on his shoulder, and then walked in front of the rugged man, clicked a few points on his acupoints to stop his blood before flying away. Although the big man's lips were a little white due to blood loss, he gritted his teeth, walked to the front yard and picked up the accomplice who had just fainted, and flew behind the bamboo pole man.

Li Tingxiu on the other end waited for most of the day, and made sure that she couldn't hear a trace of sound before she mustered up the courage to run out of the rockery. She was most familiar with Shangshu Mansion, so she hid and observed for a while, and ran to the back door after making sure she didn't see Sui Ge's figure, and when she saw the blood on the ground, she screamed in fright. Then she felt that something was wrong, so she ran out of the back door crying, and according to Sui Ge's instructions, she ran in the direction of the general mansion in the north of the town......
