Beauty has a disease

When the fire was finally put out, Lian Ying stopped the servants who were about to search Wuchen Residence and ordered them to go back to rest. After calling a few guards to keep these people in check and not allowing them to approach, Lian Ying entered Wuchen Residence alone. Residence.

After the fire, the Wuchen House was in a mess. The wooden structure was burned to black charcoal. The beams collapsed and exposed the night sky. Even if it was extinguished by water, there was still some residual warmth. The steaming water vapor was filled with smoke, making it humid and stuffy.

Lian Ying covered her mouth and nose and tried her best to scan around carefully with her eyes open. Occasionally she bent down and rummaged around on the ground, trying not to leave any trace behind.

In terms of structural layout, Lian Ying searched the outer room, bypassed the burned screen, and approached the bed step by step.

There were only burnt black strips of cloth left on the bed curtain, half-length and half-length hanging there. Lian Ying originally just rummaged around on the principle of not missing any corner, but she didn't expect that there was actually something on the bed where she least expected it. There was a charred corpse lying there!
Lian Ying's eyes suddenly widened and she took two steps back, almost tripping over the debris on the ground and barely able to steady herself.

Not scared, but scared.

how come!
The secret guard at the house said that they had searched everywhere at the beginning of the fire and found no trace of "Miss". Naturally, the search mentioned by the secret guard could not be superficial. He must have rummaged through all the boxes and cabinets before reaching this conclusion. , but who else can lie on the bed in Wuchenju except "Miss"?Who else can wear the clothes "Miss" wears?
Could it be that he was kidnapped and brought back when the fire broke out?

Although it was ridiculous, Lian Ying couldn't think of a better explanation.

But if so, what's the motive?What's the purpose?You can't go to Duan's house and set people on fire for no reason.

Regardless of whether this charred corpse is the real "Miss" or not, if someone sees it, then this charred corpse will definitely be "Miss", and the word will definitely be "The Duan family is in trouble, Miss Duan's family was burned" "Dead" and other rumors.

Lian Ying placed her hand on her heart, feeling the violent beating of her heart. She tried to take a deep breath to calm her mind, and forced herself to think about what to do next. What would the lady do if she were here...

After a long time, Lian Ying took a deep breath and whistled, and soon three secret guards appeared behind her.

"Three of you, one will stay, and the other two will inform the whole family not to go out before dawn. If you accidentally mess up the plan to arrest the thief, you will be severely punished if caught!"

"Yes!"

The three of them took orders each, and the remaining one, Lian Ying, greeted the charred corpse that was moved to the bed and assisted in moving it.

On the other side, Lian Shuang Manfu searched for traces of the two men in black. In the end, he only saw two vague shadows, which quickly disappeared into the thick black night. Lian Shuang chased them for a while before completely losing their shadows. traces.

On the edge of Duan's Mansion, Lian Shuang looked at the darkness in front of her, then looked back at the brightly lit and chaotic Duan's Mansion, cursed secretly, stamped her feet and turned back.

-

In the narrow and enclosed space, the bean fire on the wall was faintly beating, and the two huge shadows illuminated were in a trance. Lian Ying and Lian Shuang stared at the charred corpse on the ground with solemn expressions on their faces.

"What should I do if a person is burned to death? All I can think of right now is to temporarily hide the news from others, but if this continues, it is not an option. Sooner or later, it will be exposed." Lian Ying scratched her hair irritably.

Lian Shuang remained silent. Ever since she asked about Lian Ying's situation, she had turned gloomy and silent. Her frown was almost knotted, and she couldn't think of a safe solution.

"It would be great if the young lady was at home. The young lady must have something to do." Lian Ying said.

The current situation of Lian Ying and Lian Shuang, according to Yu Hu's own words, is that they lack a backbone.She is not necessarily much smarter than Lian Ying and Lian Shuang, but she is the person who coordinates the management of the Duan Mansion. Lian Ying and Lian Shuang don't know her plan and are afraid of screwing up.

"It can only be this way."

Unable to think of a reason for a long time, Lian Shuang sighed in frustration, "Stop the news first. Rumors will probably start early the next morning. But hearing is false and seeing is believing. As long as we don't respond positively, the result shouldn't be bad." No matter how bad it will be, the rest will be waited for the lady to come back and give countermeasures." "The lady said that it will only last three or four days at most, so let's get through these few days first."

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Lian Ying and Lian Shuang's ideas, but they still underestimated the horror of rumors.

The next day, the city under the Emperor's feet had just come to life. It's hard to say who started it first. One word spread from ten to ten, and soon "The Duan Mansion was flooded last night. The fire was very strong. Miss Duan's family was unfortunately killed." The news of "Sea of ​​Fire" spread throughout the streets and everyone was talking about it.

"What? Miss Duan was burned to death?!"

"Oh, what a pity for such a delicate and beautiful woman. Why did such a fairy-like person die?"

"If you don't say that beauties have a bad fate, it's more than just a miserable word!"

"It's more than miserable. You don't know that Miss Duan's whole body has been scorched and turned into black coals. Think about how it feels to be burned to death, hiss--"

"Ho-"

"What you said seems to be true. Have you seen it before? You are not from the Duan family."

"Hey!" The man slapped his thigh, "I have never seen it with my own eyes, but my cousin's father-in-law's neighbor's son's friend works as an errand in Duan's house, and he saw with his own eyes that Miss Duan was removed from the house after the fire was put out. When he was brought out of the house, he was so charred and black that he wouldn't even be recognized if it weren't for the jade pendant on his body that couldn't be burned!"

"hiss--"

"Ho-"

"Fart! That's all nonsense!"

Even Yingying's chest rose and fell violently, and the table shook and creaked under the force of the slap. Years of self-cultivation could not suppress the hidden anger, "Have they seen it with their own eyes? Each one of them is really a master of rumors. , everything he said seemed to be true.”

You even brought it out, fart!

That night she obviously sent everyone away to make sure no one was around before moving the charred corpse. When did she start carrying it out!
"Lift it, lift it! Who lifted it? Could it be a ghost?!"

Lian Shuang put her hand on Lian Ying's shoulder and patted her, telling her to calm down, "The only plan now is to let the news out first. Miss Duan didn't live in the house that night, and it was the maid who was keeping watch beside Miss Duan who died. Miss Duan was frightened and fell ill."

"Can you do it?"

"In the words of the lady, you can only know whether it works or not by trying it. The situation is urgent and out of control, so we can only give it a try."

But people always listen selectively, preferring those anecdotes about ghosts and gods. Rumors spread around and turned into "ghosts carrying corpses". The news released by the Duan family was of no use at all.

As for the reason for the "ghost carrying the corpse", it was because the Duan family was not mourning because Miss Duan's body was not found. In grief, she believed that Miss Duan was alive as long as the body was not found. However, someone did see Miss Duan being killed that night. Lifted out...

Thank you for the recommendation ticket that I can't eat and walk around!
