Chapter X

In the manor, there was a different atmosphere, and at this time, a servant came to answer us and led us to the mourning hall.

When I raised my eyes, the architectural layout and design style in the manor were obviously much more magnificent and elaborate than the old man's home.

Zhao Si said: "This family's surname is Jin, they are engaged in import and export trade and machinery, the richest people in Yunnan, the old lady who died, and the old man Zhao has a lot of relationship, today is the day of the funeral." ”

I nodded and didn't speak, to be honest, I'm not interested in these, if it weren't for the old man asking me to come, what does the life or death of these rich people have to do with me! As a poor silk, I and these rich people are not from the same world at all!

I just wondered why the old man had to let me come. Could there be any other reason for this?

The mourning hall is located in the hall of a building, and there are many people standing outside, many of whom are wearing linen and filial piety, and they are constantly busy!

However, when I was still dozens of meters away from the mourning hall, my footsteps stopped, staring in the direction where the mourning hall was located, and I couldn't help frowning!

Zhao Si noticed my abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "Fourth brother, how did this old lady Jin die?" ”

"I heard the old man say that he seems to have some strange disease!" Zhao Si replied

I asked him what was wrong with him, and he shook his head and said he couldn't tell me again. But I could faintly see a stream of yin qi condensing and not dissipating, hovering above the mourning hall.

There were a lot of people outside the mourning hall, sitting at the table, chatting with each other, Zhao Si directly led me into the interior of the mourning hall, and only a few people here were able to enter.

The area is very large, the top position is full of wreaths, flowers and other memorial objects, and in the center lies a beautiful coffin, and the head of a white-haired old man is inlaid with crystal at one end of the coffin.

A two-metre-wide black carpet stretched from the porch to the coffin, flanked by two rows of seats, many of whom sat with white armbands.

Several women dressed in linen and filial piety, knelt under the coffin, and wept softly!

The moment I stepped into this mourning hall, the first thing I felt was that it was cold, very cold, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps, which seemed very abnormal in the early autumn season.

Zhao Si took me all the way to the first row of the top, because the old man was sitting here! Yao Zhanxun and Guo Shuai are also there!

When did these two grandchildren come? I was slightly stunned!

The old man saw me coming and motioned for me to sit next to him, but Zhao Si withdrew from the mourning hall alone.

My arrival attracted a lot of attention, and they all looked at the old man, probably guessing our identity, because only the three of us were young people

The old man asked in a low voice, "Did this girl Xiao Ran call you?" Why can't I contact her in the past two days! ”

I shook my head and didn't know how to answer!

He nodded and didn't ask any more, at this time, a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed as a Taoist robe was doing rituals and surpassing the undead.

And I always felt a thick yin qi lingering in this mourning hall, as if it was carrying great resentment, and I couldn't understand why. It seems that I have a natural sense of non-human breaths.

I don't know if this has anything to do with what the old man said about me, I'm a person of yin fate!

Thinking of this, I decided to ask the old man and said, "Old man, how did this old lady Jin die?" ”

The old man glanced at me, there was a little haze in his eyes, he said: "I don't know if I have a strange disease, my whole body is black, smelly, and there are insects in the upper and lower discharge, and it will not work in a few days, and the doctor can't say why!" ”

I fell into deep thought when I heard this, and after a while I said, "I feel that the cause of this old lady's death is not as simple as illness!" ”

The old man nodded and said, "That's why I called you over!" ”

I nodded and said: "There is an extremely heavy yin qi in this mourning hall, which is condensed but not dispersed, and there is evil in the yin, this kind of evil qi can only appear if it dies in vain or unjustly, I guess this has something to do with the old lady not dying of life!" ”

The old man nodded when he heard this: "The current head of the Jin family also has suspicions, I am afraid that someone has a means behind this matter, but it is difficult to find a way, and the Jin family has to give up!" ”

I asked again: "I don't know what the relationship between the old lady of the Jin family and the old man is?" ”

The old man sighed when he heard this and said, "I have a good relationship with him, and I can be regarded as having a brotherhood!" ”

He hesitated for a moment and continued: "I feel that this matter is not so simple, and there are eighty percent of people behind it!" ”

I asked, "Does Old Lady Jin have any enemies?" ”

The old man sighed and said, "The business is so big, where can there be no enemies or competitors!" ”

At this time, Yao Zhanxun suddenly stood up, ignoring everyone's gaze, walked to the coffin by himself, and looked inside the void!

His behavior shocked many people one after another, you must know that this kind of behavior is very impolite!

The people of the Jin family looked at Yao Zhanxun with dislike in their eyes, but because it was brought by the old man, it was not easy to have a seizure

Fortunately, Yao Zhanxun casually glanced at it twice and then retreated, and sat down where he came from, and I, the old man, and Guo Shuai all looked at him.

He said two words lightly: "Gu poison!" ”

"Gu poison again?"

I was inexplicably shocked in my heart, and immediately thought of the dragon sandalwood tree, it was all poisoned, could there be any connection between the two?

To be honest, originally for this kind of world of big people, I didn't want to participate, and I didn't want to participate, but now this matter seems to have something to do with the dragon sandalwood tree, so it has a relationship with me, and the dragon sandalwood tree can't be lost!

Could it be that these two things were done by the same group? My eyes flashed with a cold light

Originally, I had a guess, because I could faintly see a vague black aura around the dragon sandalwood tree, but I didn't say anything in my heart, because I was free of my intentions.

Now that Yao Zhanxun is talking about Gu poison, I think about it a little, and I am almost certain that the two must be related!

In the dark, it seems that a mysterious net is slowly opening, one aimed at the dragon sandalwood tree, or a larger net is involved!

Since the matter has gradually come to my head, I am not a person who is afraid of things, not to mention that the dragon sandalwood tree is related to my net worth and life, I can't leave this matter alone!

I'd like to see who's behind the scenes, and who will hit my dragon sandalwood again!

Thinking of this, I asked the old man: "Burial or cremation?" ”

He said, "Burial! In the cemetery in the west of the city! ”

"When is the funeral?"

"Nine o'clock in the night."

I nodded and looked at the old man and said, "I want to meet the head of the Jin family!" ”
