Not long after, the maid of the Tao family came.

The two maids owed a debt, and they didn't say much, and the speed of cleaning up the dishes was also extremely fast, and their hands trembled slightly, and they seemed to be very anxious.

Seeing this, Mu Tian began to help the second daughter clean up, and asked, "Two sisters, who are the people who originally lived here?"

The second daughter's hands, which were already trembling, trembled unexpectedly, and the plate fell to the ground and shattered.

With a miserable face, he said, "The slave doesn't know anything, really, don't ask." ”

Suddenly, a sigh came from outside the door, and said: "Hey, this was originally Tao Lilac's residence, that child was gifted, and he was born with a strange fragrance and was named Lilac." ”

When I saw the person, it was the third lady, Wan'er.

Wan'er stood at the door with a smile and a generous demeanor, and said, "Can I come in?"

"Hehe, it turned out to be Mrs. Wan'er, the little brother was rude. ”

Mu Tianyi hurriedly apologized and invited Wan'er in. At the same time, he was secretly frightened, when did this Wan'er come, he didn't notice it.

At the moment when Mu Tianyi invited Wan'er into the house, he keenly felt that the two girls behind him were trembling, as if they were deliberately dodging, and then they bowed their heads and left quickly.

This made Mu Tianyi a little suspicious of this gentle and graceful Wan'er, but he was still silent on the surface.

"Mrs. Wan'er, come to see the little brother at this time, but what's the matter?"

"Hey, such a big thing happened at home, my husband is furious, and he will definitely find out, and I can't escape the blame. After all, I am now managing everything big and small at home. Wan'er sighed and said with a tired face.

"Well, Mrs. Wan'er seems to have found the wrong person to confide in. The younger brother is just an outsider, and it is not convenient to participate in the Tao family's rights and wrongs. Mu Tianyi was a little confused, and he didn't know what Wan'er would think again.

"Hehe, why should the little brother be presumptuous, husband, at this time, he still invites you back, naturally it won't be just a guest......" Wan'er paused and looked at Mu Tianyi with a smile.

"Mrs. Wan'er Bingxue is smart, and the little brother is not hiding it, it is indeed as Mrs. thinks, but the little brother has just arrived, and he doesn't know much about the reason, and he asked Mrs. to solve the puzzle for the little brother. ”

Mu Tianyi hesitated for a moment, but still admitted the purpose of his trip, this Wan'er was scheming, and her joy and anger were invisible, rather than hiding it, it was better to tell the truth.

"Actually, Lilac is the daughter of the eldest lady, and since Lilac disappeared, the eldest lady no longer appears in front of everyone. Wan'er sighed.

"Isn't she dead, but missing?" Mu Tianyi asked with a strange feeling in his heart.

"There was a mess in the room, and there was a bloody handprint on the wall, but there was no sound of fighting, and the man was gone. ”

Wan'er frowned, even though it had been so long, no one could crack the weirdness in it.

"What kind of bloody handprint?" asked Mu Tianyi.

Wan'er pondered for a moment and replied, "That handprint was drenched in blood, and it also emitted a foul smell, just like the stench of a rotting corpse that has been dead for a long time, and it smells pungent and unpleasant. ”

Mu Tianyi was secretly shocked, according to Wan'er, it was consistent with the smell of blood that he smelled in the bushes in the garden tonight.

Then he asked, "I heard that there are other people living here?"

"Well, the tenth sister and her attendants also lived, and two were friends of the ninth sister, but they were all dead. And he died a terrible death!"

Wan'er recalled the scene at that time and endured it

I couldn't stop shaking all over my body.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the window again, and when Wan'er heard the sound, she showed a trace of fear.

"Hehe, strange things often happen in this garden at night, don't walk around, I'll go back first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow!"

"In that case, then the little brother should send Mrs. Wan'er!"

Mu Tianyi was about to get up, but saw Wan'er shake her head and refused: "No, there is a waiter at the door, who will send me back, don't bother the little brother." ”

"Oh well. Then the little brother won't send it, Mrs. Wan'er will go slowly!"

Mu Tianyi sent Wan'er to the door, and Ben was going back upstairs to rest, but suddenly heard some small noises.

looked out of the door, but found that Wan'er was not going back to her courtyard, but walking in the opposite direction.

He still remembered that Chang Chong had said that there lived the Seventh Lady, the fox demon Su Qiao, and the courtyard of the eldest lady further away.

However, the sixth lady of the valley, and the dead ninth lady also seem to live there.

"This Wan'er is a hidden master, just now I saw her leave, it seems that she deliberately hid her cultivation. ”

The Void God came down from the upper floor, he had been observing Wan'er in the distance, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with this woman.

They all seemed to be a little afraid of the sudden strange noise, and it seemed that they knew something. ”

Mu Tianyi fell into deep thought, and secretly said, this Tao family's affairs are really getting more and more strange.

"Boss, we have a treasure in this building, but I can't find it! Are you strange? There is also a treasure that I can't find in Bai Yifeng!"

Bai Yifeng frowned, his little face was about to twist together, and his nose kept sniffing, but the more he sniffed, the more depressed he became.

"It seems that it won't be peaceful in the past two days, but I don't know why Tao Hao didn't come in person, but he called Su Qiao over. Mu Tianyi thought about it and couldn't figure it out.

Early the next morning, Mu Tianyi took Bai Yifeng and the Void God to walk in the garden seemingly casually, but he walked towards the north.

On the side of the road, some of the family members were cleaning the courtyard and trimming the flowers and plants, and Mu Tian glanced at it and saw some red marks on the pruned leaves, which seemed to be similar to the blood stains found in the bushes yesterday.

And the family built as usual, without showing any signs of panic, obviously this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.

Just as Mu Tianyi was concentrating on observing the blood stains on the leaves, an old voice came from behind him.

"Mu Gongzi, but you want to see my master?"

Chang Chong's voice sounded behind itself.

"Ugh. Mu Tianyi wanted to say that he was just casually strolling, but when he heard Chang Chong mention this, he felt that it would be better to meet Tao Hao first and understand the situation.

So he smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Chang." ”

"It just so happens that I'm going to go too, so I'll take you there. ”

"Then there's work. Mu Tianyi followed behind Chang Chong.

On his left shoulder sat a nihilistic god like a rabbit, and on his right shoulder lay a mouse Bai Yifeng, like a juggler, causing the waitresses on the side to cover their mouths and snicker.

All the way forward, they came to an elegant and quiet courtyard, the small buildings in this courtyard looked simple and elegant, full of bookish smell, and all around them were planted with some unknown herbs.

The herbs were all very vigorous, and you could tell at a glance that they had been carefully cared for.

Some of them have already produced small flowers with a rich floral fragrance.

However, Mu Tianyi did not find the gardener who took care of the herbs in the courtyard, presumably these things were actually done by Lily of the Valley alone?

"Hehe, I was about to go to you, but you came first. ”

Tao Hao walked out of the door with a smile, and next to him stood the sixth lady Lily of the Valley, she stood there quietly, like a hollow valley orchid, with a slight smile.

Behind her, there were two maids, who looked slender, but exuded an indescribable temperament, and their cultivation was not low.

At this moment, Tao Hao has already freshened up, and sure enough, he is a person who relies on clothes, and after changing his clothes, he is also human.

"Senior Tao, can you take a step to speak?"

Mu Tianyi smiled at Lily of the Valley and gave a salute, and just took a few steps forward, but he felt the little claws of the void god scratch his shoulder a little painfully, so he stopped.

"Let's go, let's go to the refining room, I'll see what you're going to cultivate first, and then we'll talk slowly." ”

Tao Hao immediately understood, so he instructed Chang Chong not to disturb him, and took Mu Tianyi to the refining room.

The refining room is in the center of the courtyard, and it is extremely luxuriously built, and there are all the materials for alchemy refining in it, and the tools required for refining are actually different from those in the ordinary weapon shop on Danqi Island.

"Sure enough, it's a master, this instrument alone is not comparable to ordinary mortals!" Mu Tianyi exclaimed.

"Haha, this is all I got after all the dangers. Each of them can be described as the heart of the refiner, and it is extremely precious. Tao Hao said with a smug smile.

Suddenly, he changed his words, "So there is no doubt about the security here, no one will be able to break in or overhear us." ”

"That's good. Mu Tian got straight to the point and said, "Last night, I found some fresh blood stains among the bushes, and I smelled a trace of fish. ”

Tao Hao was stunned, his expression was a little strange, and he said, "Did you appear again?"

"Hearing what the seniors said, could it be that this bloodstain often appears?" Mu Tianyi asked with some surprise.

"Well, and the bloodstains will suddenly disappear and the source will not be found. Tao Hao said helplessly.

"When did those blood stains first appear?" Mu Tianyi then asked.

"Soon after Lilac disappeared, it was not long before such blood stains could be seen in the garden. And every time there is blood, someone dies......"

Tao Hao said with a pained expression, as if everything started with Lilac's disappearance.

"What happened to the lilacs? Didn't anyone see it?"

Mu Tianyi was a little surprised, since Lilac was Miss Tao, why she disappeared inexplicably, no one knows.

"It's not that no one sees it, but the people who see it are all missing, and they can't see anyone alive or dead. Tao Hao clenched his fists, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"At that time, how many ladies were there in the seniors?"

Mu Tianyi's words made Tao Hao's figure suddenly shake, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Who do you suspect?"

"I didn't suspect anyone, but I thought that the ladies were hidden people, so I asked. ”

Mu Tianyi shook his head, there seemed to be nothing suspicious in this garden except that the new lady would bring in a new servant.

"At that time, it happened to be not long after Su Qiao entered the door, could it be her?" Tao Hao's eyes froze, and he immediately planned to get up and go to Su Qiao to ask for clarification.

"Senior Tao, don't be impatient, this can only show that the Seventh Lady is suspicious, but it is not necessarily her. Mu Tianyi grabbed Tao Hao and said.

He always felt that Su Qiao knew something, and yesterday she seemed to be intentionally reminding them to be careful, but who was to be careful?
