Volume 2 The Reader 29 Doubts are not simple

Looking at the rickety body of Lin Bo who took the woman away, Zhuang You looked at the mist on the lake, the water waves gently lapped the branches and leaves of the withered lotus, and the dark water reflected the moonlight.

"It's so desolate!"

"Childe, what did you say?"

"Oh, it's okay, Master Lin, was that Ling Ai just now?"

"It's the little girl Lin Ruowan, alas, my hard-working daughter. ”

Linpu's voice was a little choked, and he lamented, and in his words, Zhuang You knew what was going on.

A year ago, a scholar entered the Lin Mansion, and this person is the son of his old friend, I think that at the beginning, it was the help of this old friend that Lin Pu's silk village was able to develop, which can be described as a benefactor. It just so happened that the Limpurneh gave birth to a daughter at that time, and he made a baby kiss with the benefactor's one-year-old son.

Hearing this, the corners of Zhuang You's mouth twitched a little, how could it be such a familiar feeling, could it be the template of the legendary talented and beautiful woman?

Since the benefactor's son came to visit, it was still a show of talent, Lin Pu was naturally good at hospitality, during the conversation, it turned out that the benefactor had already passed away, the family was in the middle, and it was not as good as before, and when he was dying, he told his son about the Lin family, saying that if there is trouble in the future, he can ask for help.

However, this young man named Xu Song did not go, gritted his teeth and insisted on passing the hospital examination, becoming a student, that is, Xiucai, with meritorious fame, the family was better, and his mother died, considering that he was weak but did not have a family, the two elders hoped that they would start a family, but unfortunately they didn't see it, so Xu Song also came to Lin Mansion.

During the discussion, Lin Pu saw that Xu Song was elegant in conversation, had an extraordinary temperament, had a meritorious reputation, although he had no long things, but his family was not short of any money, this Xu Song was the son-in-law that Lin Pu was looking for. Immediately, his head was hot, and he was not only the son of a benefactor, but also the appointment of his parents, and the order of his parents.

Xu Song is indispensable, but he has never seen Lin Ruowan, and he wants to meet, Lin Pu called his daughter, and his daughter and Xu Song also had a good conversation when they met.

But there is a He family in the city, and he is also a wealthy businessman, the young master of the He family has long said that Lin Ruowan will not marry, and now his sweetheart is married, and the young master of the He family who heard the news came to the door to make a fuss, and was finally scolded by Lin Pu, and left with hatred, and when he left, he also said that he would let Xu Song, a foreign countryman, die.

Zhuang You listened attentively, but Lin Pu stopped abruptly, and Zhuang You hurriedly asked, "What happened later?"

Lin Pu lowered his head, couldn't see his expression clearly, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Xu Song is dead." ”

"What was the cause of death?

"Fell into the water and died, Xu Song didn't know the nature of the water, as for the children of the He family~"

Lin Pu's faint eyes looked at him, "He is also dead, and the cause of death is unknown." ”

"What does the government say?"

"Xu Song fell into the water, and the young master of the He family died violently, and the case was decided. ”

"Didn't the Heavenly Council intervene?"

"There were people in the courtyard, Xu Song did fall into the water, and the children of the He family had been buried, and the He family did not allow the people in the courtyard to open the museum, so they had to leave it. ”

At this point, Zhuang You looked at the bleak Master Lin and said softly: "Later, the mansion was haunted, right?"

"Yes! Half a year ago, there were always strange things in the family, at first I didn't take it seriously, I thought that who knew that several servants died suddenly, and their faces were terrified, and I spent a lot of money to settle it, and then the people went away one after another, and they didn't even want wages, only our husband and wife, the little girl and Lin Bo, Lin Bo is an old man who has been with us for decades, and he is very loyal. “

"Where's Ling Zheng?"

"I was frightened some time ago and was bedridden. “

Speaking of this, Lin Pu became more and more bleak and sad, "I invited a lot of high-ranking monks and Taoist priests, did so many rituals, spent a lot of money, and I didn't ...... anything."

"Why don't you invite the Heavenly Council?"

"There were people in the courtyard, and the house was clean, and as soon as the people left, there was trouble again. “

"The other day, I saw a ghost, he was laughing wildly, warning me not to move, or there would be no place to die!"

"Have you ever seen a face?"

"I can't see clearly, it's a cloud of black gas. “

This matter is over here, Zhuang You sat in the pavilion, thinking silently, and Master Lin also cleaned up his face, went back to the house, and said before leaving that he had cleaned up the house for Zhuang You.

Looking at Master Lin, Zhuang You felt that this person was indeed a very kind businessman, and now that the task had been accepted, how to solve it? He fell into deep thought.

Early in the morning, Zhuang You fought all over the boxing and practiced the sword, Lin Pu came over and told him that Lin Ruowan was awake, Zhuang You asked to see, in this mission, Lin Ruowan is a key person, it can be said that everything is related to her, and it is the only clue at present.

Lin Bo led the way, passing through a small garden, only a few peach trees in the garden were still luxuriant, and the rest of the peony and peony flowers were withered.

The whole house was invaded by yin qi, it seems that there are indeed ghosts who often come, and when they arrived at a two-story building, they smelled a strong aroma of fat powder without getting closer, and even a little pungent, and Lin Ruowan's figure could be seen in the window on the second floor.

Lin Bo pushed open the door, Zhuang You entered, as soon as he entered the door, there were two huge gilt vases, the tables and chairs carved from good sandalwood were full of fine lines, and there were many gems such as agate bloodstone on the case, Zhuang You sat down, waited for Lin Ruowan to go downstairs, picked up the cup, and even the teacup was inlaid with gold and silver.

If Lin Pu is a vassal and elegant businessman, then Lin Ruowan is a very luxurious daughter, there is no pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the building, and the words hanging on the wall are also pictures of ladies, charming and colorful.

The footsteps came down, Lin Ruowan walked slowly and leisurely, Zhuang You also got up and returned the salute, the current Miss Lin is much more pleasing to the eye than last night's shawl with a blue and black face, and he also noticed that Lin Ruowan changed her clothes, just now there was still a green coat in the window, and now it is a smock outside the purple long skirt.

"Miss Lin, I would like to ask a few questions. ”

"Childe, please say, the slave family knows everything. ”

"What were you doing in the kiosk last night?"

"I didn't know that I was supposed to be asleep. ”

"Then you were ghosted, well, do you have any impressions after the accident?"

"No, I just feel like my head hurts. ”

asked a bunch of questions, Lin Ruowan either couldn't remember clearly or didn't know, Zhuang You was not in a hurry, looking at the pitiful appearance of the woman in front of him, he asked softly: "Miss Lin, what do you think of Xu Song and He Jiayuan?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Ruowan's eyes turned red, and she whimpered and cried, the listener was sad, and Lin Bo, who was standing on the side, glared at Zhuang You, this young man couldn't speak, and he really couldn't open a pot.

"Miss Lin, I don't want to bring back your bad memories, but this answer is very helpful for me to solve things, and I hope you can answer truthfully. ”

Lin Ruowan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, nodded, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Xu Gongzi has an extraordinary bearing, and he is familiar with the slave family at first sight, while He Jiayuan is bold and upright, and he is also a good person." ”

Zhuang You got up and immediately said goodbye, Lin Ruowan was surprised: "Childe doesn't ask?"

"Well, I already know, I'm sorry for you. ”

Out of the door, standing under the peach tree in the garden, even if Zhuang You didn't turn around, he noticed that Lin Ruowan was looking at herself from the window on the second floor, looking at the normal peach tree, Zhuang You stretched out his hand to grab a fallen leaf, and sighed: "Interesting!"

For many days, Zhuang You lived in the Lin Mansion, wandering around every day, and went out early in the morning, and returned to the house in the evening, so that Lin Bo said to Lin Pu: "Master, I don't think this posterior has any skills, just cheat and cheat, and now it's fine, and when he leaves, it's -" He stopped and didn't speak, and Lin Pu already understood, and the ghost was coming again.

And on this day, Zhuang You didn't come back at night, and Lin Bo, who had been guarding the door, yawned a lot, and his mouth was broken: "This little queen is really damned, and he won't ......come back yet" A cold wind blew, Lin Bo shivered, looked around, and scolded back to the house. I'm going to let that kid stand at the door all night.

At this moment, Zhuang You was already on the peach tree in the garden outside Lin Ruowan's building.

He stayed here every night, all night.

And tonight is different, Zhuang You felt that the yin qi in the whole mansion was gradually rising, and he knew that he was coming.

A cloud of black gas quickly drifted to the second floor, Zhuang You held back his breath, did not move, took out the ruins from the door talisman, injected the true qi, and the ruins completely hid Zhuang You's breath, which was the function that Zhuang You groped out.

The lights on the second floor went out, Zhuang You shot to the second floor like an arrow, gently landed on the eaves, silently, leaned over and listened to his ears, and all the movements in the house came into his ears.

"Xu Lang, you haven't come to see me for a long time......"

Xu Lang, Xu Song, Zhuang You's pupils shrank, how could it be him?

"Why, why hasn't that stinky boy left yet?"

"Zhuang?"

"Who else?"

"Are you afraid of him?

"Don't underestimate this person, he is very angry, hey, you don't understand it?"

Then there was no sound, and there was a moaning sound, which was very obscene, Zhuang You's ears were red, but he still didn't move, and with a slight movement of his hand, he locked on somewhere in the house.

A little cold came first, and Zhuang You on the roof of the house came with a strong wind, and as far as his eyes went, it was the black mist that enveloped Lin Ruowan, but the sword qi pointed out, Lin Ruowan was thrown out in the black mist, and this move was exactly what he wanted, and there was a Lin Ruowan who was really in the way.

Countless sword qi attacked the black house, hitting the bull's-eye, and an extremely cold roar came out, Zhuang You was about to use the ruins to finish off this ghost, but there was a wind behind him, what happened?

The ruins in his hand were reversed, protecting his back, who knew that the expected attack failed, the black fog disappeared in the distance, and there was no movement behind him, only Lin Ruowan, who was unconscious on the ground.

Zhuang You stood on his own with a sword, his face was cloudy, he looked at the people on the ground, and said, "Strange!"

Lin Pu and Lin Bo, who came with lanterns, looked at the mess in the house, looking at their daughter who fell to the ground, Lin Pu hurriedly hugged his daughter, while Zhuang You was in the shadows and did not speak.

The next day, Lin Ruowan woke up, three people surrounded her, Master Lin and Lin Bo shushed and asked for warmth, while Zhuang You sat on a chair holding this Taoist scripture and was reading.

"Master Lin, can you let me and Ling Ai say a few words alone?"

Master Lin looked at Zhuang You, to be honest, things have not been resolved for many days, and he also sees that Zhuang You is not very happy, but it is not easy to say it directly for the sake of face, looking at Zhuang You's firm gaze, he still nodded, helped his daughter tuck the quilt, took Lin Bo out, and brought the door well.

Looking at Lin Ruowan, who was pale-faced, Zhuang You put down the Taoist scripture and sighed: "Miss Lin, can you tell me the truth?"

"I don't understand what Childe said?"

"Well, I don't understand, then I'll ask directly, why did you kill Xu Song, and what else is Jiayuan?"

Lin Ruowan's eyes widened, and soon returned to normal, smiling sadly,

"I really don't understand, Childe. ”
