Feng Letai and Cheng Liangjia left Yingtianfu with more than 20 state officials, and rode under the Tonghui Bridge, where they wanted to inspect the old house in the woods again.

Liu Yu, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, died here for no reason, and the corpse forest has made the case itself foggy, and when the six doors examined the deceased's evidence, he found that the last few pages of his diary had been torn out, and the temporary written records flickered with words, wanting to cover up. Linked to an old case in the court more than ten years ago, the truth is unclear, and it makes people feel that the whole incident is treacherous, and it is impossible to sort out the ins and outs of it!

After discussion, the two heads decided to return to the scene and thoroughly investigate the empty house in Zizhulin to see if they could find some incriminating evidence that could provide an opportunity to solve the case?

Everyone walked into the black and oppressive forest one by one.

The woods were knee-high grassy, and the light was dim, and from time to time one or two small fluffy things scurried under their feet. Withered vines coiled overhead, cobwebs hung open, and rotten branches and leaves emitted bursts of stench. Even in the daytime, it looks gloomy. Cheng Liangjia reminded as he walked: "Everyone should be careful, this place has been barren for many years, the grass is lush, and you can't distinguish the path." The theory of ghosts and gods is not credible, but I am afraid that there are still poisonous snakes and lizards?"

Xiang Jincheng, Tang Yu and a few sturdy catchers opened the way in front, they were dressed in short clothes, with scarves wrapped around their heads, high-waisted hunting boots on their feet, and each holding a spear in their hands.

After the team had traveled more than ten feet, it turned a corner.

A little further on, there were rows of straight black pines. Out of the black pine forest, there is the clearing in front of you. Feng Letai stopped under a pine tree, took a breath, and said, "It's almost there, and we'll be in front of the deserted 'Qingyuan Marquis' mansion." He raised his leg to leave.

Xiang Jincheng suddenly shouted: "My lord, beware!"

Feng Letai was stunned for a moment, and was pushed by Xiang Jincheng for several steps, before he could stand firm, Xiao Xiang flicked the spear in his hand in the thick grass, and everyone was so frightened that they retreated several steps. It turned out that there was an earth-colored giant snake coiled in the grass under the tree, the thickness of a human arm, with a knotted body, but its head was raised high, hissing and spitting red letters!

Xiang Jincheng was bold, waved his spear, and slammed the grass near the giant snake.

The serpent stretched out for a moment, stretched its long body, and snawled its way through the grass, and in an instant it was already in the rubble pile under the tree. Feng Letai wiped his sweat, had palpitations, and said, "It's dangerous......"

A catcher joked with Xiang Jincheng: "Xiao Xiang, why are you whipping indiscriminately, why don't you just go up and stab it with one shot!"

"No, no, no. Xiang Jincheng ridiculed: "This thing is very toxic, and it must not be easily provoked." If you don't hurt it, it won't attack us. ”

Cheng Liangjia was anxious, strode over, and shouted: "Don't talk about it, let's go." ”

The crowd dispersed and burrowed into the dense foliage. Feng Letai calmed down, tightened his robe, and followed with Cheng Liangjia and Xiang Jincheng.

Out of the pine forest, a few more steps, through the meadow, is the dilapidated and withered gatehouse. The wooden door was half-open and half-hidden, and the tiled eaves of the gatehouse were covered with weeds, and a flock of birds chirped inside. The bluestone steps in front of the door are flecked with white bird droppings. Cheng Liangjia stepped forward, pushed open the door, and with a flutter, two black owl birds flapped their wings and flew out!

Cheng Zhutou shook his hand and ordered: "Xiang Jincheng, Tang Yu, you and others lead the crowd to enter the mansion quickly, and search around." Don't let go of a suspicious place!"

Tang Yu and Xiang Jincheng led the team into the Hou Ye's Mansion.
