Facing Steward Chen's questioning, although Ma Zhongcai did not respond, his eyes were evasive, and he looked weak.

Steward Chen's heart was cold.

I can't wait to kill Ma Zhongcai.

Hearing the human meat buns, even Ning Chuyi and Dali Siqing changed their faces.

Seeing the three skeletons, although everyone speculated about the reason why Ma Zhongcai killed them, no one could have imagined that he was actually making human meat buns.

Although the ancestor of Ma Zhongcai's family had a petty official, he was not wealthy, and when it came to him, the family property was left with this mansion.

After Ma Zhongcai married his wife, the two rented a shop to sell steamed buns.

The person in charge of making steamed buns is his wife, and the business used to be okay.

But since his wife fell ill, the steamed buns made by Ma Zhong did not taste good, and business was even worse.

The already poor days are even worse, and I can't even afford to buy meat for steamed buns.

Ma Zhongcai actually hit the idea on those wandering orphan girls.

Using the buns as a temptation, he tricked them into killing them at home, and then cut off the flesh on their bodies and chopped them up to make steamed buns.

Everything else, as well as blood and bones, were all buried under those chrysanthemums.

It's just that Ma Zhong is not good at cooking, and the buns he makes are not delicious, and his method is not of much use, and there are not many people who buy his buns.

Fortunately, the buns he made were not delicious, so he didn't kill more people.

Ma Zhongcai didn't dare to shout injustice, for fear that those puppet souls would also kill him as a bun.

But he didn't open his mouth to admit his guilt, but remained silent.

Dali Siqing planned to take him back for interrogation.

Ling Chu stopped him, "My lord, there is still a chrysanthemum in the courtyard of the second entrance, so it's best to dig it up and take a look." ”

Dali Siqing's face changed, and he immediately ordered the officials he brought to excavate.

After a cup of tea, two skeletons were also dug up from the flowers that entered the courtyard.

Ma Zhongcai collapsed to the ground in despair, and he knew that he was finished.

Killing so many people, he definitely had only one way to die.

None of the people present sympathized with him.

If it is said that he killed those people because he had hatred for them, everyone can still understand it.

But his behavior is obviously already psychopathic and distorted.

Steward Chen just glanced at the bones, and vomited to the ground.

Those brocade guards couldn't help but sympathize with him, presumably Steward Chen would never touch meat buns again in his life.

Dali Temple Qing asked Ma Zhongcai to escort him back to Dali Temple, and the bones were also carried away.

Ma Zhongcai killed so many people, his house will definitely be seized by the government.

Although it was a pity that the house was not bought, Ling Chu helped those girls who died tragically to avenge and reap their merits, and this trip was not a trip in vain.

Ling Chu was about to leave with the maid, but Ning Chuyi stopped her.

"You want to buy a house and set up a household, are you planning to move out of the Ling Mansion?"

"Yes." Ling Chu didn't hide it, but he didn't elaborate on the reason.

Ning Chuyi was not in Kyoto during this time, and it was not clear what had happened to her.

I wanted to ask, but I felt that the relationship between the two was a little abrupt.

"There is a courtyard on the other side of Qintai Street, which is the private property of a friend of mine, who originally asked me to help him sell it.

Since you happen to be buying a house, you can check it out, and if it's suitable, you might as well buy it.

The house was surrounded by some official eunuchs, and it was quiet over there.

Although it is a little more expensive, you don't have to worry about safety if you live there as a girl. ”

Ling Chu remembered that Qintai Street was also in Xicheng, but, "As far as I know, the house in Xicheng is very popular, and it shouldn't be difficult for your friend's house to sell."

The house in Sijin is Xicheng again, and the price must not be cheap.

I don't have much money in my hand, and it's enough to buy a small courtyard with two entrances.

Still, thank you for your kindness. ”

"The house in Xicheng is really in demand, but my friend's house didn't ask the tooth shop to help him deal with it. Therefore, outsiders did not know that his house was for sale.

The house is a few years old, but the maintenance is not bad. If it weren't for the fact that my friend had gone to work as an official in a foreign country, and happened to be in dire need of silver, he wouldn't have sold it.

The price is not expensive, as long as the price is 1,200 taels.

I've been to see the house, and the price is fair, but if you miss it, it's a pity. ”

The house in Xicheng Sijin only costs 1,200 taels, which is simply too cost-effective.

Ling Chu was inevitably moved.

Ning Chuyi lowered his eyes and glanced at it, secretly relieved in his heart, "If you are short of money, I can lend you the money first." Later, when you make money, you will slowly pay it back. ”

Ling Chu shook his head, "That's not necessary, I still have a piece of jade in my hand, I can sell it for silver." ”

"Okay, I still have something to enter the palace, let Wei Feng take you to see the house. If you are satisfied, let Wei Feng help you go to the yamen to transfer your account.

As for the establishment of a household, let him handle it as well. If he comes forward, the people on the Yamen side will not be embarrassed. ”

Ling Chu was overjoyed when she heard this, she was having a headache about starting a household, Ning Chuyi was willing to let Wei Feng help her, she couldn't ask for it.

was so happy that he even slapped a rainbow fart at Ning Chuyi.

Ning Chuyi's lips curled, and after a few words of command, he left with someone.

Wei Feng silently glanced at his distant back, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

They really spared no effort to help Miss Ling.

Not to mention selling all his private property, he was afraid that Miss Ling would be embarrassed to accept his help and say that the house was his friend.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew that the adults were looking at the emperor's face, so he had helped many times, he would have almost thought that Ning Chuyi had fallen in love with Miss Ling.

Ling Chu didn't know Wei Feng's belly, and followed him to Qintai Street in a carriage.

Ling Chu originally thought that the house in Sijin was only sold for 1,200 taels, and it was estimated that it was relatively dilapidated inside, but the actual situation was just the opposite.

"Wei Feng, did you adults remember the price wrongly, this house shouldn't be 12,000 taels, right?"

Wei Feng had long known that she would be suspicious, so she hurriedly moved out the excuse she had thought of a long time ago, "It's really one thousand two hundred taels, and our adults are not mistaken."

The reason why it was sold so cheaply was because this house was originally the outer house of the adult's friend, and his family did not know about the existence of this house.

His outer chamber died of illness the year before last, and he didn't want to keep this house to see things and think about people, so he thought about selling it. Although the outer room is dead, she was very favored during her lifetime, and the plum trees in the yard were specially planted for her.

The only request of the friend was that the plum tree should not be cut down. ”

Ling Chu was speechless when he heard it, the outer room was dead, and he wanted to sell the house, but he demanded that the plum tree must be left behind.

It's just a few trees, and it's okay to keep them.

Wei Feng heard her decide to buy the house, and secretly wiped a handful of sweat.

Fortunately, he was clever and made up such an excuse, and he didn't spoil the adult.
