Si Ying and Chen Zixi disguised themselves as coolies and were recruited into the Wang family.

The housekeeper Wang Dalin stood on the stone steps of the corridor and looked at the two of them condescendingly, pinched the bones of the two, patted his chest muscles and stroked his beard with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "He is indeed a good seedling who works as a coolie." ”

Si Ying nodded in agreement with a flattering face, Chen Zixi snorted disdainfully, and Si Ying immediately pulled his sleeve to stop him.

The housekeeper put his hands behind his back and looked at him, and said, "Yo, what's the matter, if you don't want to do it, you can leave, there are people who want to work, if you don't do it, hurry up and make room." ”

Si Ying had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Steward Wang, don't be like a kid who is respectable, he has a tendon in his head." ”

Chen Zixi's hand was held tightly, but Si Ying pulled his sleeve tightly, desperately glancing at him, he pulled back his sleeve and snorted coldly.

Wang Dalin glanced at him with a pair of smiling eyes, and said with some undisguised mockery and sarcasm: "If it weren't for the fact that your body is still strong, I would have cleared you out a long time ago. ”

Chen Zixi smiled contemptuously: "So, you have seen more dead people than I have seen living people?" ”

Wang Dalin's face turned red, his body trembled with anger, and he pointed at him and roared angrily: "You kid who doesn't know what to do, I won't let you get out of this door today!" ”

"Forget it, Steward Wang, it's important to repair the pond at this time."

The staircase was long, turning upwards, and a long diagonal figure was reflected on the steps.

A few people heard the sound and looked over, only to see a blue gauze skirt swaying on the ground at the end of the corridor.

Wang Dalin bowed his head respectfully, bowed and said, "Got it, young lady." ”

After that, he squinted at the two of them from the corner of his eye, and sneered: "Give me a good job, otherwise I want you to look good!" ”

As night fell, the moon smiled on the treetops.

The royal compound is very large, starting from the east and turning to the north, it is three and a half miles long, which is no worse than the mansion of the king's grandson and the nobleman in the capital.

The palace is divided into four courtyards, the east and west courtyards are the residences of the old lady and the young master, the south courtyard is the guest room, and the north courtyard is the accommodation of the maid.

And in the north courtyard, there is a line of side houses, thatched huts and wooden houses, which are the temporary residences of these coolies.

Si Ying rolled her eyes at Chen Zixi again and again, humming dissatisfiedly, while Chen Zixi wiped the long sword in his hand with a handkerchief expressionlessly.

"Can you please take your temperament away!" Si Yinghuo stood up and looked at his appearance without being angry.

"You begged me to come." Chen Zixi opened his mouth lightly, and continued to wipe the sword in his hand, the sword body was glowing with the white light of the clear moon, faint and cold.

"What's more, your father from Zhizhou didn't let you investigate this case, and the Wang family didn't report to the official, so why should you chase after the wind."

"Chasing the wind?" Si Ying raised his sword eyebrows and pursed his lips: "There is a way that has no groundlessness, I don't believe it, there will be rumors of haunting for no reason?" ”

Chen Zixi glanced at him, his face was full of contempt, and he stopped talking.

Si Ying sat on the stone steps, rubbing his chin with his fingers, his eyes narrowed, and muttered: "It's just that this Wang family doesn't know what the hell is going on, a good mansion actually wants to lead a canal pond to cut it in half, weird, weird...... There's definitely something greasy about that. ”

"Greasy?" Chen Zixi looked at him with disdain and sneered: "Forget it, even if you are tired of your head, you can't think of it." ”

Si Ying's dissatisfied Nunu mouth, thought about it, looked up at the full moon, and sighed: "If only she was there, she would definitely be able to figure it out." ”

Chen Zixi's hand rubbing the sword paused, and suddenly continued to rub the silver-white sword body.

"It's been more than a month since they were in love, why haven't they come back, will they ......" Si Ying's worried frowns, and before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Zixi: "No." ”

Si Ying looked at him, glared curiously, and said, "How do you know?" ”

Chen Zixi hooked his lips and smiled, and said in a deep voice: "With him, no." ”

"Him?" Si Ying's brows furrowed even deeper, and after thinking about it, she felt that she didn't expect much from the thin and thin Forget Chen, and she was even more worried when she thought of Feng's indifferent eyebrows: "But she is a woman after all." ”

Chen Zixi twisted his eyebrows and did not question.

"Zixi!" Si Ying suddenly called him, leaned closer to him, and said curiously: "You are so good at martial arts, why do you work hard for him, how do you know ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Si Ying immediately closed his mouth, and Chen Zixi's long sword stopped straight at his throat, and it would immediately wipe his neck in a deep minute.

"Zixi, what are you going to do?"

"I'll kill you if you're inquiring about me." Chen Zixi's voice was cold and unfeeling.

Si Ying hurriedly nodded with a trembling smile, picked up his fingers and moved the long sword in his throat to the side, and said with a grin: "Don't ask, don't ask." ”

Suddenly, Chen Zixi's ears moved slightly, and a sound of chattering footsteps came, and he immediately collected his sword and hid it in his sleeve.

Si Ying looked at the small Yongdao crossing connecting the compound, and Wang Dalin's figure slowly appeared in the moonlight.

Si Ying immediately laughed and said kindly: "Steward Wang, you haven't rested so late, you really have done your best and worked tirelessly......"

"Alright, don't be a sycophant." Wang Dalin waved his hand impatiently, looked at Chen Zixi with a gloomy face on the side, and snorted coldly: "It's just the two of you, come with me." ”

The two glanced at each other, with a bit of vigilance in their eyes, Si Ying's smile became brighter and brighter, took Wang Dalin's hand, and asked earnestly: "Steward Wang, where are you taking us?" ”

Steward Wang broke away from his hand, wiped his hands on his body in disgust, and said quietly: "Go on patrol." ”

With that, he raised his legs and walked out first.

The two exchanged glances, and also walked with Wang Dalin, and he took the two to the middle of the fourth courtyard, which was the middle road that stretched from north to south of the compound.

The space here is very large, and it is connected to the river not far from the palace wall by iron pipes around it, which is used to divert water.

One of the paths was full of objects, Wang Dalin pointed to this road and said: "This is it, you two have a good life to check, most of the tools here are for digging ponds, the master spent a lot of money to buy them, you take a good look to see if anyone comes to steal." ”

After that, looking at the dark clearing, a trace of fear quietly crossed his eyes, and then he flicked his sleeves and left.

Si Ying followed him closely behind him, and asked step by step: "Steward Wang, why are you going, don't you patrol with us?" ”

Wang Dalin rolled his eyes impatiently and scolded: "You guy, if I do it all, what's the use of keeping you?" ”

After that, he snorted coldly and left, leaving only Si Ying and Chen Zixi looking at each other.

Si Ying looked at the piles of iron, long-mouthed shovels, and a pile of iron tools on both sides of the clearing, and stepped forward and kicked twice: "What is there to throw away in this pile of broken copper and iron, and send people to patrol?" ”

Chen Zixi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a gleam: "Perhaps, he is not afraid of losing things, but afraid that someone will steal them?" ”

Si Ying snorted, sneered a few times, and said, "Ha, don't you mean it?" ”

Chen Zixi glanced at him with disgust, full of contempt, Si Ying looked at him with dissatisfaction, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and said with deep eyes: "You mean that it's not that you're afraid that someone will steal this pair of scrap metal, but that someone will come here to make trouble." ”

"It's not stupid." Chen Zixi snorted coldly.

Si Ying's eyes were deep and he secretly thought, this is just an empty space, what secrets can be remembered.

With the full moon, he looked back and forth in this clearing, and after a few turns, he stopped in place, his brow furrowed, this was an ordinary clearing, and there was nothing wrong with it.

The two stayed for a long time, and the moon was already slanting westward, Si Ying stretched his waist, yawned and said, "Let's go, it seems that no one will come tonight." ”

Chen Zixi nodded, and the two of them were about to leave, but who knows, as soon as they took a step, a woman's cry suddenly sounded in their ears.

Both of them were shocked, and Si Ying immediately hugged Chen Zixi's back from behind, lay on him and shrank and said, "Listen, there are women crying." ”

Chen Zixi stopped, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, it was the subtle almost inaudible sobbing of a woman.

A wisp of wind blew, the branches swayed, grinning, and the sobs rose sharply, and the wind gradually stopped, and the woman began to sob, and finally it was inaudible.

Chen Zixi's pupils shrank, his eyes were filled with anger, his wrist turned the long sword and came out obliquely, the hilt of the sword was held in his hand, he was furious, and roared: "Whoever is pretending to be a ghost on the ground, come out for me." ”

Only his empty echo swept by, and the woman's voice still whimpered and moaned, rising and falling to the wind.

Si Ying hid in his arms and kept trembling, even his lips turned white, and he looked around and said in horror: "Go, let's go, this Wang family is really haunted." ”

Chen Zixi glanced around, listened with bated breath, and there was no sound of anyone, but where did the woman's cry come from, he didn't believe that there was really a ghost!

Suddenly, a white gauze skirt swayed and fluttered among the treetops, flying quickly above the heads of the two, Si Ying felt that the gauze was bringing up a layer of goosebumps from above, and her paper-like face turned even paler, and suddenly her mother collapsed on the ground.

Chen Zixi is not an idle person, with a turn of his wrist, the long sword flashed again, this move, turned around and swung the sword, the sword qi was like a horse, and suddenly rose straight towards the treetops.

It's a pity that the white veil was like a vine of moonlight, and soon slid down on the tree towards the ground, and Chen Zixi's body slanted sharply to the west, chasing after the white sand skirt.

Suddenly, the white yarn fell in the corridor, and fell lightly in the corridor, Chen Zixi's eyes lit up, and he jumped into the corridor, and the long sword went straight to the white yarn, and the sword penetrated into the soil for three points.

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly withdrew his internal force, and swept the blade of the sword to the side, and the long sword slashed through a woman's sideburns at this time, and suddenly, several green silks were cut off.

The woman sat on the ground, looked at Chen Zixi with a frightened face, and said tremblingly: "You, who are you?" ”
