As he spoke, Chen Ning tilted his head slightly, and Ma Changsi, who gestured, took out the investigation order.

Ma Changsi shook the investigation order from the eyes of the two of them, "Look clearly, the county government seal is on it." ”

"Arrest?"

One of the slightly shorter guards was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Chen Zhutou, you are in the wrong place, right?" This is a horse house! ”

"It's Mafu!"

Chen Ning responded coldly and continued to stride inside.

Another tall and thin guard stretched out his hand to press Chen Ning's shoulder, frowned, and said, "Chen Zhutou really wants to come to my Ma family to arrest people?" Wait a minute, I'll give you an inform. ”

Chen Ning didn't respond, his shoulders shook slightly, shook the guard back, and continued to walk inside.

"If you dare to move again, you two will be convicted of attacking the imperial court officials! Master cut you guys! ”

Seeing that the two of them still wanted to stop, Ma Changsi pulled out the long knife on his waist.

"A small catcher in Qingxi County, does he really regard himself as an official of the imperial court? Don't you know how many pounds and taels you have? ”

The tall and thin guard was already annoyed, and wanted to draw his sword.

Fortunately, the slightly shorter guard was quite sensible, stretched out his hand to stop him, and said in a deep voice: "You go and inform the son, I'll come and see them." ”

The tall and thin guard snorted coldly, then withdrew his hand, turned around and walked quickly towards the house.

All of this was seen by Zhao Mingyue, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she murmured coldly: "This small horse mansion is really not simple, the guards guarding the door don't even pay attention to the headcatcher?" Interesting......"

"Chen Zhutou wants to go in, and I can't stop it, but please understand that Chen Zhutou is responsible for us."

The slightly shorter guard was generally knowledgeable and spoke tactfully, "If you insist on going in, then I will have to follow." ”

"Natural volume, please lead the way."

Chen Ning was not an unreasonable person, he pressed down the knife in Ma Changsi's hand, and deliberately took a step back, letting the slightly shorter guard walk in front.

The slightly shorter guard walked in front, but when he entered the mansion, he didn't do business, and directly took Chen Ning and the three of them in circles in the east courtyard.

"Chen Zhutou, the villain is called Mo Cheng, sincere Cheng, you can call me Xiao Mo, or Xiao Cheng."

Mo Cheng walked very slowly, talking as he went, deliberately delaying time.

"Sincere little sincerity, you are not sincere at all."

Ma Changsi immediately saw his intentions and smiled coldly, "Are you deliberately showing off that your Ma Mansion is big enough, or are you taking us around in circles?" We've all passed through three courtyards, and we haven't seen Mrs. Chun Tao yet?

How did I hear that Mrs. Chun Tao is in the second courtyard of the East Courtyard? ”

Chen Ning stopped directly, stood down and counted the courtyard gates, pointed to the stone arch in the distance and said, "Mo Cheng Nursing Courtyard, if this catcher is not wrong, it should be Mrs. Chuntao's courtyard?" ”

Mo Cheng's face changed slightly, and he smiled awkwardly: "This villain in the East Courtyard doesn't come from time to time, so I'm not very familiar with it. ”

"Then you dare to show us the way?"

Ma Changsi showed no mercy, directly sneered, turned around and followed Chen Ning to the courtyard.

Chen Ning didn't talk to this Mo Cheng, and went straight to Chun Tao's courtyard.

"Slow down, don't disturb the ladies."

Mo Cheng couldn't hold it anymore and hurriedly followed.

Chen Ning naturally didn't care about him, came to the position at the gate of the courtyard, and raised his eyes to look at the courtyard.

The courtyard is full of flowers and plants, and there is a swing tied to the old tree in the corner of the yard, which is very well arranged, which is enough to see that the son of the Ma family is really interested in spring peaches.

In front of the flower garden in the courtyard, two women are watering flowers.

One of them was dressed in a luxurious satin dress and carrying a small copper kettle shower, looking from the side, he really looked a little beautiful.

"Spring Peach!"

Although she changed into luxurious makeup, Ma Changsi still recognized it at a glance, and pointed to the woman in the luxurious clothes and shouted.

Chun Tao heard the sound and looked over.

When she saw Chen Ning and the others, her face was pale, and she hurriedly walked to the house.

"These two steps show that he has a ghost in his heart."

Chen Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, "Stop her!" ”

"Brother Ning, look at it!"

Although Ma Changsi is obese, it does not affect his flexibility, and his speed is fast enough, so he rushed forward in three or two steps, blocking Chun Tao's way.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Chun Tao's eyes became more and more flustered, and she shouted directly at Mo Cheng: "How do you look at the home nursing home, this kind of stranger can still break into my courtyard!" ”

"Madame......"

Mo Cheng looked embarrassed, and he didn't want to step forward, but he didn't dare to do anything with Chen Ning.

"Mo Cheng Nursing Home, just look at it."

Chen Ning stretched out his hand to stop him and stepped forward directly.

Ma Changsi directly took out the investigation order and smiled at Chun Tao: "Mrs. Chun Tao, you don't know us, we can recognize you!" We are impartial, let's talk to us! ”

At this time, Chen Li also stepped forward, "Don't panic Mrs. Chuntao, we are not arresting you, we just want to ask where Miss Zhou Ruyu went." ”

Hearing Zhou Ruyu's name, Chun Tao's face was even worse, and the panic in her eyes couldn't be concealed at all.

The two Chen Ning brothers glanced at each other, and they were even more convinced that there was something wrong with this spring peach.

"I, I don't know!"

Chun Tao didn't look away, her eyes didn't dare to look at Ma Changsi and Chen Ning, she just kept repeating, "I don't know anything." ”

Zhao Mingyue also walked over and said lightly to Chen Ning: "Her aura is very chaotic, she is lying!" ”

"I know."

Chen Ning's eyes drifted to the maid behind Chun Tao, as well as Mo Cheng, "Mrs. Chun Tao might as well let them wait outside the courtyard first, and we can have a good chat......

As he spoke, he lowered his voice, "The murder case in the city must have been heard of by Mrs. Madame, and our yamen found out that this case is related to Miss Zhou Ruyu, and the perpetrator is likely to be her!" ”

"No, it can't be!"

Chun Tao looked flustered, as if she had thought of something, and immediately turned her head to look at Chen Ning, but she realized that she had lost her words and quickly stopped.

"You want to say that Miss Zhou is dead, right?"

Chen Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice became deeper and lower, "Sometimes, it is not only people who commit crimes, but also ghosts!" ”

Ma Changsi cooperated with Chen Ning, pointed to Zhao Mingyue next to him and said: "This is Lord Zhenxuan from Kyoto, this case involves Zhenxuansi, and the relationship is big!" If Mrs. Chun Tao doesn't report it, I'm afraid she will be in prison! ”

Zhao Mingyue understood, pulled down the silver Zhenxuan Order on her waist with a cold face, and shook it in front of Chun Tao's eyes.

The three of them went into battle with red and white faces, and suddenly scared Chun Tao so much that her body began to tremble.

She took two deep breaths, her eyes calmed down, and waved her hand to the maid behind her, "You and Mo Huyuan will go outside and wait first, and I'll talk to Chen Zhutou." ”

After the two walked out, Chen Ning said, "Mrs. Chuntao, Miss Zhou disappeared for no reason half a year ago, what happened?" Tell me about it. ”

Chun Tao's eyes flickered, her head was lowered, and she finally told the secret of half a year ago.

It turned out that Zhou Ruyu went to the yamen to report the case that day, it was not groundless, it was indeed harassed by Ma Yusheng, the eldest son of the Ma family, and even hit Zhou Ruyu's bodyguard, so that Zhou Ruyu would report the case.

But the Ma family relied on their power in Qingxi County to bring Zhou Ruyu back and locked up all the people who accompanied him.

"And then?"

Chen Ning frowned and asked, "How did you become the wife of the Ma family?" Where did Miss Zhou Ruyu go? ”

Chun Tao's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice: "This matter has nothing to do with me, Ma Yusheng is either beating or scolding us, I really can't stand it, so I am committed to him, and I don't know anything else......"

Hearing this, Ma Changsi smiled and turned his head to look at Chen Ning, "Brother Ning, do you believe this?" I don't believe it anyway! ”

Chun Tao's body trembled slightly, and she lowered her head and did not speak.

Chen Ning said in a deep voice: "Chun Tao, just now I said that Miss Zhou turned into a ghost and came back to ask for her life, but it was not to intimidate you, but it was true!" If Miss Zhou's ghost really finds you, will you still have a way to live? If you know anything, say quickly, we are not harming you, but saving you! ”

"Ghosts, people's evil thoughts have been transformed, and they are extremely evil!"

Zhao Mingyue said slowly: "Resentment turns into ghosts, specifically looking for people close to you before your life to ask for your life, sucking the marrow and knocking bones, bloodthirsty soul, if you are entangled, death is secondary, and the most important thing is that ghosts will let you see the scene you are most afraid of in life, so that you are better than dead!" ”

She paused and calculated casually, "In my opinion, Zhou Ruyu has almost turned into a demon, it's time to ask for your life!" ”

"It's not about me! It really has nothing to do with me! ”

Chun Tao was so frightened that her delicate body trembled, and hurriedly said, "I really didn't harm Miss!" It's all the hands of the Ma family! They forced me to give false testimony, and if I didn't comply, they would beat me to death! ”

Chen Ning knew that the time was almost up, and comforted softly: "I know it's not you, what happened later, you quickly say it, as long as you are willing to speak, we will protect you."

Even if you don't believe me, you should believe Lord Zhengen from Kyoto. ”

Chun Tao glanced at Zhao Mingyue, and when she saw her nodding solemnly, her eyes were weak and she told the truth of the matter.

It turned out that after she perjured and brought Zhou Ruyu back that day, Ma Yusheng forcibly committed violence against Zhou Ruyu, Zhou Ruyu was poisoned, and she committed suicide by cutting her wrists the next day.

In order to prevent the matter from being exposed, the Ma family directly killed all 16 people in his entourage.

The reason why Chun Tao was able to survive was also because she had some appearance, Ma Yusheng fell in love with her, plus she was willing to cooperate, and she had the handle in the hands of the Ma family, so she was accepted as a forbidden person by Ma Yusheng.

After listening, Chen Ning and the three of them frowned.

Although I guessed that Zhou Ruyu was probably killed, I didn't expect that the Ma family was so vicious that they killed seventeen people!

"Do you know where the bodies of the girl and the attendants are that week?"

Chen Ning hurriedly asked.

"I was forced, I don't blame me for this, I really don't blame me!"

Chun Tao was so frightened that she kept crying, and let Chen Ning comfort her for a long time before she came to her senses and nodded.

Just as she was about to tell the place where the body was hidden, there was a sudden shout from outside the courtyard.

"You guys are so darling! He dared to trespass into my Ma Mansion and tease my wife! ”

With that shout, a tall young man, dressed in a luxurious purple robe, with a meaty face, led a large number of nurses and walked in.

When Chen Ning and the others heard this, they all turned their heads.

Chun Tao's face turned pale when she saw the person coming, and her trembling body shook, if it wasn't for Zhao Mingyue's support, she would have fallen to the ground in fright.

"Ma Yusheng?"

Chen Ning's eyes were cold, staring at the meaty young man.

Ma Changsi directly took out the investigation order and shouted loudly: "Ma Yusheng, we have the investigation order of the yamen, and we are acting on orders!" ”

"What kind of investigation order, it is clearly a forgery of official documents and a private invasion of the Ma Mansion!"

Ma Yusheng didn't even look at the investigation order, smiled grimly, and waved his hand, "Take down these three assassins who broke into my mansion!" No need to leave a mouth alive! Kill it! ”

"Yes, Childe!"

The tall and thin guard had fierce eyes, leading more than a dozen nurses to break into the courtyard directly, surrounding Chen Ning and the three of them!
