Chapter 213: The Situation in Lin'an City

West of Lin'an City.

Ten thousand sounds were silent, the insects were singing, the Milky Way was across the sky, three streamers of light swept quickly, and a building complex gradually appeared in front of him.

There are two lanterns hanging in front of a huge mansion, a couplet in front of the door, which reads 'auspicious clouds surround the house, and the door is full of joy', and the gilt plaque is inlaid with the word basket.

The three princes were assassinated and poisoned! Then Lord Lan of Shangshu Mansion, who was in charge of the soldiers and horses, died, everything became more and more confusing, and Shen Mo went to Lan Mansion this time to find out the truth of the matter.

The two vermilion doors opened, and a skinny old man looked at a man and a woman under the lantern, and said tremblingly: "Two, what is the matter with you?" Tuoba Gu'er raised the token in his hand and said with a smile: "We are sent by Lord Zheng of the Criminal Department to investigate the murder case of Lord Lan, and we also ask the old man to go and report to your master." ”

"Hey!"

The old housekeeper sighed lowly, and choked up with tears: "My master was killed by a powerful ghost, the Lan Mansion walked, scattered, and died, my young lady's life is thin, the two young heroes should also go quickly, don't give your life in vain!"

The old housekeeper said that he was about to close the door, but Shen Mo followed the vermilion gate.

When Tuoba Gu'er heard this, Almond shouted slightly angrily: "You and let the two of you go in and explain what happened, I and this Lord Shen will definitely be able to help your master clear his name, is there really a powerful ghost at the feet of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that he is a villain with ulterior motives, if you are so noisy, I will take you back to the Yamen." ”

Shen Mo said with a smile: "The third prince and Lord Lan died unclearly, and they all said that they were evil ghosts asking for their lives! Since you are the housekeeper of the Lan Mansion, are you unwilling to avenge your master's grievances? ”

After Shen Mo said this, a sword qi shot out from both hands, and the willow tree in the distance fell in response, and he shouted: "In the past few days, there have been servants in the Lan Mansion who have gone crazy? ”

"Poof. ”

The old housekeeper saw Shen Mo performing his magic skills, his face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground crying and said: "Two, I'm just a housekeeper, I don't know anything?" The fourth prince once instructed that everything in the Lan Mansion should not be spread outside, if you have any problems, please go to the courtyard and ask our young lady." ”

The three of them walked into the desolate mansion, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in white shirts greeted them.

"Uncle Gen, who are these two?"

The white-shirted maid saw Shen Mo and Tuoba Gu'er, and asked suspiciously. "Oh, Xiaolan! These two are the adults in charge of the master's case in the Criminal Department, you go and prepare some wine and food, and entertain them. Xiaolan was about to leave, Shen Mo said: "Don't bother the girl, old root housekeeper, you better tell the story of the old man being framed that night, this matter is related to the dispatch of soldiers and horses in the Southern Song Dynasty, you must not delay it for a long time, otherwise it will be ...... to people with ill intentions."

Shen Mo's words made the housekeeper and the maid stunned, and Tuoba Gu'er looked at the dodging eyes of the two of them, and knew what they must know?

The maid and the old root led them to the hall.

The hall was empty, except for a table and a few chairs.

The young lady of the Lan family is called Basket Qianqin, her father is a scholar of the Ministry of War, her mother is a businessman, she has several cloth shops and dyeing workshops, and her mother is a girl from the Manchu Eight Banners.

The death of Basket Artemisia, on the one hand, was that he controlled the secret edict left by the emperor before his death, and there was no need to guess that the candidate to succeed him to the throne was Shen Mo. On the other hand, if Shen Mo is unable to succeed to the throne, then Artemisia and Zheng Chengyun will support the three princes.

Therefore, Zhao Rui and Zhao Yi are suspected of killing Basket Artemisia, especially Zhao Rui said that he found evidence of collusion between Basket Artemisia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and since Basket Artemisia died, the Lan family was raided. The night after Bai Yi left Lin'an City, it was Basket Qianqin's seventeenth birthday.

Basket Artemisia invited the princes and grandsons of Lin'an City, on the one hand, they wanted to celebrate their daughter's birthday, and on the other hand, they also wanted to find their in-laws' house for Basket Qianqin. But who knew that night, many of the nobles, relatives and friends in the mansion who came to congratulate them were crazy.

Since that night, it has been rumored in the market that the Blue Mansion is haunted! The next day, Basket Artemisia died mysteriously in the study, without any wounds on his body, his expression was hideous, as if he had seen something terrible before he died, and there were letters written by himself to the Manchu court on his desk.

"Since it is rumored that it is a demon, no one has seen the face of that monster. Shen Mo looked at Lao Gen and asked.

Xiao Lan wiped her tears and sobbed: "Since it's a monster, how can we see it, but every once in a while, someone in the Blue Mansion goes crazy!

Lao Gen said: "On the night of the master's death, the windows of the study were sealed, and there were several guards in front of the study. When Tuoba Gu'er heard this, he was furious, stood up and shouted, "What kind of ghosts, you lead us to the study." ”

Xiaolan lowered her head and said, "The study was completely destroyed by a fire last night, and there is nothing left. ”

Shen Molin smiled and said, "Housekeeper, where is your young lady! We have been waiting in the Blue Mansion for so long, is she not willing to see us? Or is your young lady not in the Blue Mansion at all." Uncle Lao Gen knelt down in fear, kowtowed, and said: "Please run for your life, how dare I deceive you, my young lady was kidnapped by evil ghosts when she caught fire last night, and I concealed that you were...... , that is, I am afraid that you will ask me about my sin. ”

Tuoba Gu'er shouted angrily: "What a bold man! I don't know what you are hiding, you quickly take us to the burned study, if you think carefully, I will put you in prison." ”

Shen Mo could feel that there was indeed evil qi and corpse qi in the Blue Mansion, and he had two guesses, one was Miao Jiang's witchcraft and evil arts, and the second was to cultivate strange people who could manipulate corpses.

Bai Yi followed Ah Gen and Xiaolan to the burned study, Shen Mo carefully went to the ruins to investigate, he peeled off the rubble, there was a piece of renovated land underground, he thought that it should be the tunnel where the gangsters mutilated the basket artemisia, he could smell the smell of rotting corpses, only the Yizhuang in the eastern suburbs had the smell.

"I think I already know the news of Miss Lan, and I will soon be able to find out who is spreading rumors?"

When Xiao Xin and Lao Gen heard the news of Miss Lan, their eyes flashed a trace of gloom, Bai Yi didn't know what the two of them thought, I am afraid that they were sent by Zhao Rui. Shen Mo ignored them, hugged Tuoba Gu'er, and turned into a ray of light and fled towards the sky.

"Xiaoxin, you go and inform the fourth prince, and you will say that the criminal department has investigated. ”

"Wow...... Wow......"

Under the bleak moon, the crows chirped hoarsely, and countless coffins were scattered in a ruined village.

In the hall, there was a ghostly black-robed man floating on an open Nanmu coffin, and a beautiful woman was lying in the coffin, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was sleeping. The black-robed man raised his head and looked at the sky, his dark eyes lonely and sad in the moonlight.

"Hehe! It looks like a distinguished guest is coming, I have worked hard to cultivate you poisonous corpses! Don't let me down. The black-robed man's blue-gray cheeks were uneven and glowing, revealing a mouthful of pitch-black teeth and smiling blankly.

Seven or eight black coffins clicked, the coffin nails fell, the coffin lid shattered, and several zombies with green faces and fangs stood up straight from the coffin.

If the white cloth was in Yizhuang, he knew that the ghost robe man in front of him was using a Gu technique to manipulate the corpse.

"Hah!" the zombie's breathing echoed in Yizhuang.

Two rays of light flew from the sky and landed in front of Yizhuang.

"Let's go, whether it's a human or a ghost, I'm going to find him. Tuoba Gu'er Almond opened his eyes slightly, shouted angrily, and walked forward proudly. The gate of Yizhuang was opened, a cold wind blew, Tuoba Gu'er shivered, hid in Shen Mo's arms, and asked in fear: "Brother Shen, here, there won't really be a ghost here, right?"

"Bang. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a crackling sound in the air, Shen Mo raised one hand, a knife qi slashed towards the void, and a figure fell out, it turned out to be a black zombie with a hideous face, he had just hidden in the shadows, and no one found it. Tuoba untied the blood-red whip wrapped around his waist and waved the lash at the green stiff

The zombie let out a low breath, and its body was green and glowing, and a foul smell came to its nostrils, and red mist erupted from its rotten mouth.

"Be careful, that poisonous corpse has worms in its mouth. ”

Several fist-sized corpse insects flew out of the red mist, and they were able to spew out a trace of ghost fire, and since Shen Mo had been taught martial arts, how could he easily be afraid of that Miao Jiang Gu Technique.

Her delicate body erupted in a cloud of red light, and the blood whip rolled towards the corpse worm like a five-colored firework.

"Snort"

The ghost fire and corpse insects dissipated instantly, and as soon as the zombie came into contact with the blood whip, a scorching true energy poured into the body of the poisonous corpse, and the poisonous corpse emitted a trace of white smoke and turned into a puddle of stinky water.

"Brother Shen, the whip you gave me is really powerful. ”

The whip that Tuoba Gu'er was holding was forged from the most vicious beast bones in the world, and this whip could burn everything! When Shen Mo went to the desert to kill an evil cultivator, he occasionally obtained this thing, so he always brought it with him.

"If you dare to do it, why hide and hide it! The Gu technique you cast is indeed perfect, but if you want to deal with me, I'm afraid it's almost hot. As soon as Shen Mo's words fell, he disappeared in an instant, and his palm knife slashed towards a grinning zombie.

His palm knife carried a demonic qi that could destroy heaven and earth, and the poisonous corpse was instantly burned by the demonic qi. "Ahh

Tuoba Gu'er frowned, stomped his feet, and leaned over and flew up. "Brother Shen, is this, this really a zombie?" Tuoba Gu'er hurriedly used his internal strength to protect his whole body, and asked in shock.

"It's a Gu poisonous corpse refined by Miao Jiang's evil way with Gu worms! Your brother Yi should also know this Miao Jiang's witchcraft, if he is in Lin'an City, he will be able to easily crack the opponent's moves. ”

"Ahh ”

"Alas, the Seven Sects and Five Yue have mysteriously disappeared, I'm afraid the second brother's side is also very dangerous!" After Shen Mo finished speaking, he shouted in a deep voice: "Your Excellency sent a few Gu worms to control the poisonous corpse, can you easily destroy me." ”

Shen Mo snorted coldly, his eyes emitted a strange magic light, his body disappeared in an instant, and when he reappeared, his hands were choking a zombie with green hair and green fangs, Shen Mo pinched his hands, the demonic energy in his hands was rolling, and the green stiff head was instantly pinched and exploded.

'Ha!' A heavy wheezing voice came, and five green rays converged, revealing five green haired Gu poisonous corpses. Shen Mohu walked in front of Tuoba Gu'er and said, "As long as Your Excellency returns Miss Lan to me and explains who sent you, I will not embarrass you." ”

"Hey, the old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for a hundred years, who dares to talk to the old man so rudely, you leave quickly, otherwise I will let you never be reborn, and you will never fall into the Yellow Spring!" An ethereal voice sounded, and the five green-haired zombie monsters roared, and their eyes shot out a miserable green light and pounced on each other. (To be continued.) )
