Chapter 7 Nursery Rhymes 7 Clues

Eyes swept over the courtyard, it can be seen that the owner of the house is a very well-organized person, although the courtyard is dilapidated, but there are no imaginary weeds as far as the eye can see, but a few pots of unknown flowers blooming in the wind.

Chen Lingzhong walked slowly into the house, only one of the two rooms was locked, and looking through the tattered window, it looked like a miscellaneous room stacked with miscellaneous items, with rattles, noodle figures, and other things for sale.

Glancing around the corner, there is a table I don't know what it's for, it seems to have a few words embroidered, but because the light is really dim, I can't see clearly.

The door of the main house is open, judging from the door and the main house are not locked, the owner should have left in a hurry because of a hurry, and there should be furnishings in the house, but because of the age, the tables and wardrobes are a little mottled, there are two beds in one room, a simple wooden bed under the east and west windows, the bed covers on the west side are neatly placed, and there are two tablets on the east bed.

"Who put the tablet on the bed, what the hell is this uncle doing?"

Chen Lingzhong walked forward to check while complaining, the upper tablet on the left is engraved with "The Spirit of Loving Father Yang Zhihan", the tablet at the bottom of the right is engraved with "The Spirit of Miss Yang Qing", and the two tablets are also engraved with the dates of birth and death.

Chen Lingzhong carefully observed the time of the two tablets, "Yang Zhihan" was almost fifty years old, "Yang Qing" was only twenty years old, and "Yang Qing" died in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and "Chen Zhihan" just died yesterday!

Thinking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the eldest young master of the Xu family, Xu Huaishang, began to hit ghosts, and the nursery rhymes that ghosts chant are only known to this family, where in the world is there such a coincidence.

Judging from the age, no matter how "Yang Zhihan" thinks, it is consistent with the uncle Jiang Bairan said, so the actual owner of this family has become his other child......

Since the NPC gives such a crucial information as a nursery rhyme, it proves that there must be something wrong with the family. If "Yang Zhihan" died normally, then why did "Yang Qing" disappear at a young age.

From this information alone, it was impossible to confirm who the owner of the current house was, so Chen Lingzhong carefully inspected the entire room, and there was no other suspicious situation except for the traces of residence on the surface.

"Tsk, I don't know if this family is cautious or sloppy, the wardrobe is empty, and there is no identity information at all. It's sloppy, the gate is not well locked......"

Chen Lingzhong frowned and muttered for a while, she really couldn't find any useful information, she walked straight out, but when she passed by the locked house, she still took a closer look, and always felt that the platform was very familiar, but she really couldn't remember what it was.

She tapped her head vigorously, thinking carefully about everything she had seen in this world, and she really had never seen anything like it, so she had to give up. Chen Ling gently pushed open the door to observe, and after making sure that there was no one, he immediately went out to restore the lock to a forgiving appearance, and was tinkering with the door lock, when the voice of an old woman behind him sounded.

"Ouch, what are you doing!"

Chen Lingzhong looked back, the old woman's frightened expression made her eyebrows twist into an "M" shape, it seemed that she was thinking of herself as a thief, Chen Lingzhong broke out in a cold sweat, and her brain was urgently weaving words.

"Are you a thief! You are really bold, you dare to steal from this family, his house is haunted, aren't you afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at night! ”

The old woman trembled and pointed to Chen Ling, hating "a beautiful woman, but a thief", and afraid that this family was haunted.

"Haunted?" Chen Ling's brain directly "buzzed" to sober up, this family is really related to the "ghost", "Auntie, you misunderstood, I heard that this family's rattle is doing very well, I came to buy something, I saw that the lock at the door was not quite right, and I was about to knock on the door when I ran into you." ”

Chen Lingzhong turned her face and changed it to an innocent smiling face that both men and women eat, and they all said, "Reach out and don't hit the smiling person", and the old woman's face obviously eased when she heard this.

"Little girl, you'd better hurry up, this family doesn't sell anything anymore, his house has been haunted for a while, and it's very unlucky!"

The old woman waved her hand and glanced at the door in disgust.

"Is it so scary? Have you ever seen that 'ghost'? ”

"There are few of us who haven't seen it, and as soon as the sun sets, no one dares to go out! That grimace is terrifying! ”

Probably thinking of the horror of the "ghost", the old woman immediately walked away quickly, unwilling to say anything more.

Chen Lingzhong's face was solemn, and he secretly said that he was worth coming this time, and the situation became much clearer all of a sudden. This family is the "birthplace" of the "ghost", and the target is Xu Huaishang.

Chen Ling rushed to the Xu family non-stop, it was already very late, and now she was eager to know what grievances the Yang family and the Xu family had, and she felt that the deceased Yang Qing might be the key to the problem.

Entering the Xu family, Chen Ling went directly to the warehouse, she knew that the most important thing to look for now was Steward Chen, Dong Ling must have been with him on the night of her death, otherwise he would not have burned paper for Dong Ling in fear.

Walking to the door of the warehouse, Chen Ling straightened out his breath and strode in, and saw Steward Chen honestly sitting on his seat holding a book, chattering in his mouth, listening carefully to it like a Buddhist scripture or something, eighty percent wanted to give Dong Ling a surplus and eliminate disasters for himself.

"Ahem, Steward Chen."

Chen Lingzhong looked at the man who was frightened by him with a smile, his face was pale, as if he was afraid to see him.

"Steward Chen, what are you doing, you seem to be afraid of me."

Steward Chen immediately closed the book in his hand and hugged it in his arms, his eyes were fluttering and he didn't dare to look at Chen Lingdang, and it was really funny to look like a ghost in his heart.

"Get something to register, go in and find it yourself!"

"Steward Chen, I'm not here to look for something, I'm here to find you." Chen Lingzhong raised his hand and stroked his hair bun and raised an eyebrow at Steward Chen, "You should understand, right." ”

As soon as Steward Chen saw her movements, he immediately understood, because he was afraid that the flesh on his face was shaking, and he looked like he had added a vibrator.

"You...... What do you want to do, I don't know anything! ”

"Don't know? I don't think so, Dong Ling died so miserably, her ears were cut off and stuffed in her mouth, you know? ”

"Tell me what! I didn't even see her that night! ”

Steward Chen became fierce for a moment, as if he wanted to strangle Chen Lingdang, but Chen Lingdang looked fearless, because she knew that Dong Ling bribed him with Zhu Hai must still be on him.

"I didn't say you had seen her, didn't you just not admit yourself? The pearl hairpin that Dong Ling gave you is still with you, I saw it all, I saw it clearly that day, you said that if the master knew about it, would he think that you were the 'ghost' in the courtyard of the eldest young master......"

It happened suddenly, if Steward Chen had the courage to take Zhu Hai away, he would not be reciting the death mantra here, this man was so scared to death, as long as he bit Zhu Hai to death on him, he would not be able to hide anything.

Sure enough, the man was frightened all of a sudden, and when he heard that Chen Lingzhong was going to go to Master Xu to denounce him, he immediately confessed that as long as Chen Lingzhong didn't tell him about the fact that he had met Dong Ling, he could do whatever he wanted.

"Is anything okay?"

The man in front of him nodded desperately, and his sincere gaze looked like it was real.

"Okay, Dong Ling came to you that night to transfer to the Second Young Master's courtyard, right?"

"Yes, she was in a hurry that day, but you also know that this matter is not something I can do if I say yes."

"As a housekeeper, did we have a servant surnamed Yang before, or was there a woman named Yang Qing?"

"Yang, Yang Qing?" Steward Chen bit his fingers and thought about it, and finally shook his head.

"Then do you know what happened before the 'haunted' of the eldest young master's courtyard?"

As soon as Steward Chen heard this question, he immediately became cautious, he must know something.

"Just say what you know, don't grind!"

Saying that, Chen Ling slapped the table vigorously, and Steward Chen was so frightened that he shrunk his neck.

"Auntie, be quiet, I say!" Seeing that he couldn't hide, he honestly confessed, "There was a woman who lost her foot and drowned in the courtyard of the eldest young master before the 'haunted'. ”

"Do you know this person?"

"I don't know, I don't know this matter very well, the matter was handled by the master and the Wang housekeeper, and the people who knew about it were replaced, I only knew that a woman drowned on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then the courtyard of the eldest young master began to be 'haunted', and I said that the woman must have come to ask for her life!"

Wang Jianguo also knows about this? Chen Ling knocked on the table and listened to Steward Chen talking about the whole story, and felt more and more that this matter might be related to Wang Jianguo's task.

"People who know about this have been replaced, why are you still here?"

"Hey...... After the wealth was destroyed, Steward Wang accepted my benefits, so he naturally kept me, but let me collect the rules, otherwise ......"

Steward Chen's gesture of wiping his neck showed the seriousness of the topic, and Chen Ling nodded clearly.

"Don't worry, I won't say it."

"That Dong Ling's matter ......"

"I won't say it either, as long as Steward Chen is honest, I'll keep my mouth shut."

Hearing the warning, Steward Chen immediately nodded in agreement, and the nervous expression on his face finally eased.

When he came out of Steward Chen, the moon was already hanging in the night sky, it was still the full moon, and the color didn't seem to be so pure, mixed with a trace of blood that made people's hairs stand on end.

"This damn world is getting more and more gloomy."

Chen Lingdang rubbed her arms to relieve her mood, her stomach that had not eaten "gurgling", now that it may have been past dinner, she still walked to her courtyard, thinking about getting something to eat from the kitchen.

When she returned to the courtyard and saw Xu Ximiao's room lit up, Chen Lingdang was not in the mood to exchange information for the time being, she just wanted to satisfy her stomach, there were still some noodles left in the kitchen, she thought that Xu Ximiao should not be reluctant to give up a bowl of noodles, and immediately got up to cook noodles after thinking about it.

When the noodles were ready to be eaten, there was a shouting outside, and Chen Lingdang immediately put down the bowl and ran out to look.

"Miss, the master called you over, the eldest young master's courtyard is 'haunted' again!"

As soon as Chen Lingzhong heard the legs, he ran to Xu Huaishang's courtyard, all the way were panicked people, and when he approached the courtyard gate, he saw a strange "ghost" running in the air, which looked even more terrifying in the moonlight.

The feeling of suffocation came to his heart again, Chen Lingzhong ran into the courtyard with fear suppressed, and was pulled by a person as soon as he entered the door.

"You let go of me! I'm going to catch it! ”

Chen Lingzhong desperately tore the man who was blocking people, and it was Xu Jinxiang. He looked at Chen Lingdang with an indifferent expression, and his clothes were torn into a pile of folds.

"Do you want to die again?"

Chen Lingzhong immediately looked up into the other party's eyes after hearing this, and the deep and cold made her suspect that this person was a "ghost".

"What do you mean?"

She looked at the man defensively, not daring to make unnecessary struggles. Xu Jinxiang looked at the girl who was honest in an instant, and couldn't help laughing.

"I'm afraid you'll be injured, last time you were so badly injured, is it so unmemorable?"

"Would you be so kind? If we can't catch this 'ghost' today, how many chances do we have? Don't you want to go home! ”

Chen Lingdang felt that the action of the "ghost" this time was much slower, she could have caught the person who was pretending to be a ghost behind her back, but she could only watch the "ghost" close at hand escape, and blame Xu Jinxiang!

"Take it easy, we still have time."

Chen Ling shook his hand to escape from Xu Jinxiang's shackles, rubbing his painful wrist.

"I think the bell is right, the second young master doesn't seem to be in a hurry."

I don't know when Wang Jianguo, Xu Ximiao and Lu Youcai all appeared behind him, Chen Lingdang glanced at Wang Jianguo, this person is also an old fox with a calm face, like Xu Jinxiang.

"Steward Wang, you're laughing, I just don't want the bell to be injured, you also know that she escaped death, as a companion, I can't watch her go to death again, right?"

Xu Jinxiang didn't feel that he was wrong, and put on a misunderstood and hurt expression, Chen Lingdang couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Speaking of which, Steward Wang, you're also here to check for clues? I'm afraid it's a little late. ”

Wang Jianguo smiled and shook his head, "I'm here to invite the second young master to the front hall, the master asked you to come over, you weren't in your courtyard just now, I guess you came here, sure enough." ”

"Steward Wang is really smart, then let's go, don't let my father wait for a long time, right, eldest sister."

After speaking, he strode up, Chen Lingzhong was really not interested in entanglement with these people, and turned around and entered the hospital to investigate clues.

"Xu Jinxiang must have a problem, you should be careful with him."

Wang Jianguo looked at Xu Jinxiang's back as he walked away, reminding the two people around him, Xu Ximiao and Lu Youcai looked at each other and nodded, for the two of them, Wang Jianguo is a partner anyway, although they are both old foxes, but Xu Jinxiang is obviously more dangerous.
