Chapter 37: Luring the Serpent Out of the Hole
The Rongguo Mansion pays attention to the four words of "Tibetan Wind and Gathering Qi" in the layout, among which Guangling Hall is located in the center of the entire mansion, but now it has been buried with such filthy things, obviously someone wants to steal the luck of the Huo family.
Old Man Huo's face was condensed, his eyes scanned in front of everyone with considerable pressure, and said, "This thing was searched from the boss's yardβ"
As soon as these words came out, the people below were in an uproar, they didn't expect this thing to be buried in the house, and they immediately felt a chill down their backs, and they threatened to find the murderer.
Among them, the Qin family was the most earnest, her eyes were dark, obviously she hadn't rested for several days, she looked at Old Man Huo and said sincerely: "There have indeed been some rumors in the mansion in the past few days, I originally just thought that the rumors of the people in the mansion, but Jiu Ge said that she saw that kind of thing with her own eyes......"
"Jiu Ge has already told me about this matter." Old Man Huo interrupted her loudly, "I suspect it's this thing that is causing the trouble!" β
Old Man Huo pointed to the things on the ground and said with deep disgust, although it has not been confirmed that the murder of the Dafang family seems to have something to do with this thing, but now this has been regarded by him as evidence that someone deliberately murdered.
Seeing that the old man had already said this, the Qin family naturally didn't dare to continue, so she could only silently shut her mouth.
Although she didn't know where this thing came from, and whether it really had anything to do with Huo Jiuge's ghost, she knew that there was an old man on her side this time, and she couldn't help her.
Huo Ren stood up at this time and said: "Father, I think these things are just deliberately buried in the eldest brother's yard, trying to cause us panic, otherwise after so many years, why would they be found at this time?" β
He advised Old Man Huo not to hurt himself too much in this matter, he would definitely find out the murderer and then bring him to justice.
But unexpectedly, his words completely angered Old Man Huo.
"It is not clear that the boss led the army to die in the war, and even his daughter-in-law was killed on the road, do you dare to guarantee that there is no connection between these things? I see that you have had a lot of peaceful birthdays over the years, and you have long forgotten who earned this family business! Old Man Huo was furious, and even began to suspect the entire second room.
Although Old Man Huo was old-fashioned, he had never been so angry, and everyone shuddered.
"Father's forgiveness! I just want you to take care of your health, but I don't have the heart to murder my eldest brother! Huo Ren was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, and his wife, concubines, and children behind him also knelt in front of Old Man Huo and Huo Jiuge with him.
"Humph!" Old Man Huo looked at the people kneeling on the ground, angrily dropped his sleeve, and then turned around and stopped looking at them, nor did he tell them to get up.
"Grandpa is angry, I think what the second uncle said is true." Huo Jiuge said loudly, "How could my father and mother have an accident because of these two scarecrows, all of this must be planned by someone behind the scenes, and the most important thing now is to catch the mastermind behind it, not to let us centrifuge because of these two things." β
This is the first time Huo Jiuge has spoken for the people in the second room of the Huo family, and it is still in the matter of her own parents, which can't help but make people wonder, whether she is really stupid, or has other plans.
In fact, what she values is the identity of Huo Ren Yushi's deputy, if he helps to find the person with the snake tattoo on his hand, it will definitely be faster than looking for it herself.
And more importantly, she suspects that her mother's death is inseparable from the person in the second room, and she lured the snake out of the hole in order to let them know that they were investigating the things of the year, and in order not to expose their identity, the other party will definitely shoot again.
Although her move was risky, it was the best way to quickly lock down the identity of the murderer.
Old Man Huo listened to her words, and only then did he come back to his senses from his anger, he first asked Huo Ren to get up and asked what he planned now.
"I have fought against witchcraft in the past dynasties, presumably there should not be many people in the whole world who can use this kind of evil art, why don't you start with this source first?" He replied respectfully.
Old Man Huo listened to his words, fell into a deep thought, and after half a sound, he spoke: "No, it has been a long time since these two things have been buried in the ground, and it has been so long since the old man had an accident, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to re-investigate the case." β
"And if others know that my Huo family has witchcraft, won't it become a joke in the entire capital?" Old Man Huo considered the face of the Huo family in the capital in the future, so he did not support Huo Ren's proposal.
"Then according to my father's opinion, how can I find out?"
Old Man Huo took out a portrait from his arms, which was painted with a snake-shaped tattoo, and Huo Jiuge said that this was the person her mother was looking for in her dream.
Old Man Huo handed the portrait to Huo Ren and said, "You find out the person with this tattoo on his body, and the death of his eldest daughter-in-law has something to do with it."
"Didn't my sister-in-law die under the robber's knife?" Huo Ren looked at the pattern on the portrait and wondered: "And those bandits in Qingfeng Village have already been eliminated, and this case has been closed for many years." β
As soon as the Shen family, who was the wife of Yipin, was killed, the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits' den, how could there be a man with a serpentine tattoo now?
All of this stems from the fact that the original owner temporarily lost this cruel memory because of excessive fright, and since Huo Jiuge occupied this body, he frequently dreamed that a man with a snake-shaped tattoo on his hand was holding an embroidered spring knife and killing his mother in front of her.
Everything that happened in the dream was very real, so as soon as she woke up, she drew this pattern according to the picture in the dream.
Old Man Huo didn't explain so much, he just asked Huo Ren to go to this person for the theft in the mansion, and he didn't say anything else.
Seeing that his father said so, Huo Ren didn't ask any questions, and after folding the portrait, he put it in his arms.
Immediately afterwards, the old man looked at the Qin family and said, "I don't want to hear any rumors about the mansion, I have worked hard for you in the past few days." β
Although he didn't know what the rumors in his mouth were referring to, the Qin clan still responded.
After that, Old Man Huo added: "Go and invite Daoist Wang to me, let him solve these two things in person, don't delay the business later!" β
The imperial examination was soon approaching, and he was afraid that the fame of the descendants of the Huo family would be affected because of such a filthy thing.
"Yes." The Qin clan bowed down to answer such an errand, and when he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a wicked smile, his chance has come again, this time Huo Jiuge will shed his skin even if he doesn't die!
