Chapter 540: Chess Meets Opponents

"Good!" There was another burst of cheers from the lively crowd, as if they wanted to use this way to dispel the panic and anxiety of these days.

Le Hao glanced back at the crowd, then turned to look at me, and said, "Mr. Ye, remember the incident I told you that night?" ”

There's just so much going on at Roca. I shook my head and said, "What is the second young master talking about?" ”

Le Hao's eyes looked closely at the coffin covered with red cloth placed in the mourning hall, and then heard Le Hao say: "I'm talking about the matter of the corpses in the coffin disappearing, when you came to me that night to ask about Yang Liu. I told you that when I was a child, I accidentally found my grandmother's body sleeping in a coffin and disappeared. ”

I nodded and said, "Well, I remembered, and when your mother left, you also secretly opened the coffin, and coincidentally, you found that the body was gone." ”

"Not bad!" Le Hao said and put a piece of paper money into the fire plate, and said: "It is impossible for the corpse to run away by itself, there is definitely something greasy in this, so I suspect that someone has stolen the body of the Le family, and the best time to steal the body of the Le family is tonight, because as soon as this night is over, the corpse will be buried in the ground, and tomorrow there will be so many people, and the person will definitely not be able to move." ”

I also turned my head to look at the coffin in the mourning hall, then nodded and said, "Second Young Master." I know what you mean, I'll be here tonight to keep a vigil for the old man, and I'll definitely solve this mystery thoroughly. ”

Le Hao said "um" and said, "Then it's troublesome Mr. Ye, I'm going to arrange for a few servants with better skills to stay behind to guard the spirit, and this time I must catch that person." With that, Le Hao picked up the crutches on the side and limped forward.

"Senior brother, what did the second young master say to you just now?" Senior sister is also a person who likes to join in the fun, and after watching the acting over there, she returned to my side and asked.

I called Tongchen and Chen Jinghao back and told them everything that Le Hao had just told me, and they all expressed strong interest after listening.

Tongchen said even more excitedly: "It's the first time I've done this kind of thing." ”

After the funeral, it was already twelve o'clock. The people of Lejia left in groups of three or five. The weather tonight was just as bad, there was no light in the sky, basically as long as the torches outside were black, it was like you couldn't see your fingers.

At this time, Le Hao came over with ten big men, came to my side and said, "Mr. Ye, these ten people, as well as me and my eldest brother, will stay with you to keep the vigil......

I stood up from the front of the fire and patted the dust off my body. Quietly looked at the ten people standing opposite. These ten people are all 1.8 meters tall, tall and strong, but the only drawback is that these people seem to be very timid, and after watching the other people leave at this moment, they are all pale and a little scared.

"Don't worry, with the four of us here, we won't let you have any problems." The fat man patted his chest proudly and spoke.

"It's five!" A childish voice sounded, and Huairou, who was standing on the edge of the fire, looked at the fat man with a little dissatisfaction, and spoke.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "It's five, it's five." ”

"Mr. Ye, I went to the mourning hall to accompany my eldest brother to keep a wake for my father. It's dark and cold, so come in too. Artemisia said.

I shook my head and said, "No need, I won't bother you on the last night you accompany the old man." ”

Le Hao didn't say anything more, I saw him slowly enter the mourning hall on crutches, Chen Jinghao turned his head to look at me, and said, "Orange, why don't you see Le Ping'er today?" ”

"Girls don't usually have to keep vigils for their elders." I quietly looked at the fat man who was about to move, and replied.

The fat man's eyes swirled in front of these ten big men, and then shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, buddies will play Pai Gow, it's really hard to stay through the long night without having some fun." ”

Then, the fat man and the ten big men played pai gow outside the mourning hall.

Chen Jinghao shook his head helplessly, and said, "Where does this fat man have a little Taoist demeanor, it's really a shame for the ancestors of my Zhengyi sect......"

The fat man shouted to this side: "There is one less, who will play!" ”

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" Chen Jinghao hadn't finished speaking, and after hearing the fat man's shout, he didn't have the sanctimonious appearance he had before, and hurriedly ran towards the fat man.

The first half of the night was very quiet, and nothing strange happened. As time went on, the temperature in the air dropped a lot, and even I was shivering a little as I sat on the edge of the fire.

It was almost three o'clock when suddenly without warning a strong wind blew. Several torches outside the mourning hall were all extinguished at this moment, and the place was instantly plunged into darkness.

"What's going on, how the torch is extinguished." A frightened voice rang out.

"Hurry up and light the fire, hurry up and light the fire, Lao Tzu has such a big number of points, eat you all, don't give Lao Tzu a sneaky change of cards while it's dark!" Even at this time, the fat man was still thinking about his pai gow.

"Matches, matches can't be lit!" Another sound of surprise rang out.

I stared at the darkness tightly, staring closely at the twelve people in front of me, including Tongchen and Chen Jinghao, but I only felt the breath of eleven people, and I didn't feel it carefully before, this time, because I was afraid that someone would make a ghost at this time, I checked it very carefully, and indeed there were only eleven people's breaths, which made me feel very strange.

Crash!

At this time, I only heard a loud noise, a burst of fire tore through the darkness, I saw Huairou raise a torch, looked at us curiously and said, "Isn't this lit?" ”

After Huairou lit a torch, the others lit the other torches as well. Everything was back to normal, as if nothing had happened.

I stared at the people in front of me, and I always felt weird.

"Come on, come on, keep going, let's start counting." The fat man beckoned to those people and said, "I'm nine o'clock, eat all, give money, give money, give money." ”

My eyes looked towards Tongchen, Tongchen stretched out his hand to take the money one by one, and when he finished taking everyone's money, the fat man suddenly stopped, and said with an ugly face: "Which of you gave me less money?" ”

After hearing the fat man's words, these people in Lejia looked at each other, shook their heads and said: "I gave you all the money I pressed, yes, yes, didn't you collect it yourself......

Tongchen shook his head and said, "No, obviously I want to collect money from eleven people, but I only received ten, and one less person didn't give money." ”

Chen Jinghao glanced at the fat man and said, "Are you counting yourself in?" ”

Tongchen said: "You are blind, we obviously have twelve people, but I took money from ten people, do you calculate whether you have received one less?" ”

After hearing Tongchen's words, Chen Jinghao really picked up his fingers and counted: "One...... Two ......"

"Don't forget it, you're missing one!" Xu Promise stared at the remaining eleven people and spoke.

Le Hao gave ten people to us, plus Chen Jinghao and Tongchen, there were a total of twelve people, and now there were only eleven people standing opposite me, which was why I suddenly felt that there was one less person to breathe just now.

"One less person? No way! "When there are more people, it is not so obvious that there is one person missing, so even if there is one person missing, we don't find out so quickly.

After the fat man counted the number of people, he was stunned for a moment and said, "It's really one person missing, damn, it won't be a guy who can't afford to lose money, he just ran away while the fuck was messing up, right?" ”

I ignored the fat man, and turned my head to look inside the mourning hall, where Le Qing and Le Hao were still talking in a low voice, and the coffin covered under the red cloth was safe and sound.

"Fatty, let's go to the mourning hall to have a look at ......" After speaking, I took the lead in the mourning hall.

After seeing me coming, Le Qing and Le Hao stood up and asked, "Mr. Ye, what's wrong, is there anything wrong with such a serious expression?" ”

"Open the coffin and see, is Master Le inside?" I spoke.

When Le Qing and Le Hao heard my words, they were stunned for a moment, but they said that I was fully responsible here, so they didn't say anything more, and called a few big men outside to open the lid of the coffin.

I looked closely into the coffin, and saw that Mr. Le, who was wearing a neat shroud, was lying quietly in the coffin, with a white cloth covering his head, as if he was asleep.

"Hu ......" After seeing Master Le lying quietly in the coffin, I breathed a long sigh of relief, turned my head to look at Le Hao, and said, "Second Young Master, you list all the ten big men you called, and I'll see who is missing!" "Because the Lejia is very big and there are a lot of families, the remaining nine big men don't even know each other, so they don't know who is missing for a while.

Le Hao made a list according to my instructions, the eldest young master Le Qing looked closely at the names written by Le Hao, when Le Qing saw a name named Li Chao, Le Qing's face changed, and he pointed to the name and said, "Second brother, how can there be Li Chao in this list?" ”

"Is there anything wrong with Li Chao?" Le Hao turned his head to look at his eldest brother in confusion and asked.

Le Qing's voice trembled a little and said: "Li Chao, wasn't Li Chao pulled down the lotus pond by Wang Jinfeng when he was fishing for Wang Jinfeng's body during the day today, and died?" ”

"Ah, I remember, he... He's dead, but ...... But I did see him at night, wouldn't, wouldn't... He...... Is it a ghost? Le Hao looked at us with a surprised expression on her face and spoke. Memorize the rest of the sequential technique.

"This, this, it's haunted!" The nine big men who stayed behind, after hearing Le Hao's words, they also remembered the events of the day.

Xu Yue turned his head to look at me and said, "Senior brother, if it's really haunted, you should be able to feel it, right?" ”

I shook my head and said, "It's hard to feel, because of the opening of the lotus flower, the yin qi of this mansion is very heavy, far overshadowing the yin qi of the ghost, if it weren't for the pressure of the venerable bezoar pill, I'm afraid this place could become a hell......

"That's right, if there is a supreme grade bezoar pill, ordinary imps should be instantly dissolved by the medicinal power, how can it be haunted?" Tongchen added.

"I know what it is!" At this time, Huairou's voice sounded again, and after hearing the child's words, I turned my head to look at Huairou tightly and asked, "What is it?" ”

Huairou opened her mouth and said, "You come with me!" With that, Huairou ran out of the mourning hall, ran towards the place where the fat man and them used to play pai gow, pointed to the ground and said, "It's Tana." ”

After hearing the child's words, I looked down at the ground, and saw a small purple clover flower on the edge of the table quietly blooming in the open space, and in the dim light of the fire, the clover flower gently swayed in the air.

Another gust of night wind blew, and the petals of the three-leaf purple school flower fell with the wind, and a fragrance filled the air. This fragrance is very strange, with some coldness, making it impossible to tell whether it is the coldness of the cold night or the original coldness of the floral fragrance.

"Yin Hua, it's not good, everyone cover your nose!" After seeing this flower, I was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted loudly, but before I finished shouting, I only heard a dull voice of "dong dong dong ......" sounded, and more than a dozen people, including Senior Sister Xu Promise, fell to the ground together.

In the dark night, there were only three people left standing in an instant, one was me, one was Huairou, and the other was Tongchen.

Tong Chen looked at this scene with a surprised face, and asked with a puzzled face, "Ye Cheng, what's going on?" Why did these people fall asleep all of a sudden? ”

"You, you, you didn't smell the flowers?" Seeing the fat man with a puzzled face, I was even more puzzled, and looked at the fat man with wide eyes in surprise and said.

Tongchen sniffed hard twice and said, "Just now, because it was too cold, I accidentally caught a cold, and I didn't smell anything!" ”

Hearing the fat man's words, I rolled my eyes speechlessly and said: "This flower is called Yin Flower, which is an extremely rare Chinese medicine, and the fragrance it exudes is called Yin Xiang, which is a Chinese medicine used by the ancients to treat insomnia......

"These people are so careless, can they all be tricked?" Tongchen looked at the people who fell on the ground, and said, "Look at your senior sister, she is still a medicinal incense shop, and she can even be fascinated by yin incense......

"Don't talk about it here, you should be glad you have a cold, otherwise you will fall." Saying that, I picked up the yin flower, touched it carefully, and touched a burst of liquid, with a faint ginseng fragrance, it should be someone soaked this flower in ginseng, so that the ginseng disguised as Li Chao, after all, the yin flower will not become human, it can be seen that the opponent should also be a master in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

I looked at these people who fell to the ground and said, "Come with me and carry Senior Sister and Chen Jinghao into the room, if you sleep here, it will be easy to catch a cold." ”

Tongchen and I carried one on our backs, and entered the room in the mourning hall, and Huairou followed behind the two of us quietly, and she became much more well-behaved at this time.
