The little lady of Xuanmen has become popular in the sixth palace by fortune-telling

Chapter 132 New clues in the case

"It was delayed because of some things." Yao Zhuoyu replied. He was supposed to be here two days ago.

General Zhu looked behind him: "Hey, where is Concubine Ming? She's not here? Isn't she the person in charge of this case?"

The corners of Yao Zhuoyu's eyes twitched slightly. I'm afraid that Concubine Ming is still lying down and sleeping in the guest room, but he can't be so open and honest about Xu An'an's face, so he said: "Concubine Ming is also delayed because of something. She may not come. I'll come." It’s the same thing with Cha.”

General Zhu nodded: "Okay, let's go. Not to mention people coming from the north of the city these days, not even a fly can fly in. I control it very strictly."

"Thank you for your hard work, General. Let's go in first."

Yao Zhuoyu led his subordinates into the alley. General Zhu told his subordinates to keep an eye on him and followed Yao Zhuoyu in.

The alley in the north of the city was deserted and dilapidated, but not scary in the daytime. The haunted house was sealed off after the Muxue incident.

Wang Lai pushed open the heavy red-painted door, and the dead leaves on the ground rustled. He paused slightly and looked at the several large jars in the middle.

"Sir... look what that is."

Everyone looked over and saw that the jar seemed to have been dug out freshly. There was still wet soil on it that was not yet dry. Yellow symbols were attached to the jar, and some were torn into pieces and fell around the jar. It looked a bit desolate.

Yao Zhuoyu quickly approached. It was clear that these things were not available when the Taoist priests came to do the ritual last time. He frowned and ordered: "Go and check where these jars were dug out from."

A dozen government officials searched everywhere in the house for places that had been disturbed. General Zhu rubbed his eyes and said, "This place was clean two days ago, and there were no jars. Who put this here?" "

General Zhu wanted to look into the jar as he spoke, but Yao Zhuoyu stopped him: "Don't touch it."

He frowned: "It seems that the four Taoist priests buried it."

General Zhu immediately retracted his hand, with a look of panic on his face. The four Taoist priests bled to death for no apparent reason. Would he have any bad luck if he touched them?
But the most puzzling thing is how this jar came into the middle, as if to mock their incompetence.

General Zhu put his hands on his hips and looked around the jar: "Could this be moved by ghosts? I'm sure no one will come in during the guarding period."

Thinking about the ghost, General Zhu's hair stood on end. He was not frightened by his unsatisfactory son.

He has nightmares every day about ghosts and insists on sleeping with him, which makes him and his wife share a room now. That brat is 16 years old and still acts like a coward.

General Zhu had a plan in mind. He was going to send Zhu Shiyue to the military camp for training for a period of time. It was so useless and it would bring shame on their old Zhu family!
Yao Zhuoyu shook his head: "Probably not. If there was a ghost, Mu Ci wouldn't say it was a young man. It's just... this place is really weird, and I have a feeling that I can't put my finger on."

General Zhu patted him on the shoulder: "Master Yao, have you ever heard of ghost stories? There are a lot of ghost jokes in it, which are adapted from real events. Don't believe it. There may be real ghosts. Are you afraid?"

Yao Zhuoyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It would be great if I could really see a ghost. I would be happy to see one."

General Zhu gave him an expression of "Are you crazy?" If anyone wanted to see a ghost, it would be too late for others to hide, so General Zhu just thought he was trying to be brave in order not to lose face.

"My lord, general, we found the trap."

He Min trotted over, with some sweat on his forehead: "My subordinates found four pits in the four corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest, which should be where the jars were buried. There are some messy footprints around." "Let's go and take a look. look."

Yao Zhuoyu and General Zhu went to the east side first, where there were two or three government officials surrounding them. There were a few footprints with fresh mud on the ground, and they could tell they were the same person.

Yao Zhuoyu knelt down and touched it, twirling his fingertips lightly: "It appeared in the haunted house in the past two days."

General Zhu was shocked: "Impossible, he couldn't have flown in!"

Yao Zhuoyu was silent for a moment, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the crowd and said, "Is there a possibility that there is a secret passage into this place from the outside, but we have all ignored it."

At this time, several government servants led by Wang Lai and Jia Ying also came. Jia Ying also held a hoe in his hand: "Hey, it's really well hidden. Sir, I found this hoe in a yard to the west." It was hidden under the dead leaves, and I boldly picked it out."

Yao Zhuoyu took a look and picked up the new hoe. His expression finally changed slightly. He took it and looked at it carefully and became excited: "Great, with this hoe we should be able to catch it quickly." A suspect."

"Jia Ying, you will quickly go check with the hoe later. Who has bought a new hoe recently, especially the young men? Write down their names."

The government officials were all delighted. This was a major breakthrough. Following this clue, the villain would definitely be found.

Jia Ying responded happily: "Hey, I'll go when everything is done here."

Yao Zhuoyu nodded: "Now you work in pairs and go separately to check if there are any secret passages in the house, especially in hidden places."

"Yes!"

The twelve government officials were divided into six groups, and all of them were as excited as if they had been given chicken blood.

Jia Ying looked around, caught He Min and left: "Let's work together as a team. We can settle the matter by finding the bad guy, but it's really tiring."

He Min's delicate face showed a smile, and his voice was brisk: "Congratulations, Brother Jia Ying, you have made a great contribution this time. Once the case is settled, I will definitely reward you. You will be successful by then. Maybe the emperor will seal you You are an official."

Jia Ying scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's not as powerful as you said. I'll be satisfied with a few taels of silver. Okay, let's go do some work first."

He Min nodded. The other government officials had already gone to other courtyards to look for him. He Min looked at it and saw that there were already two groups looking for him in the east courtyard. He suggested: "We might as well go to the courtyard where you found the hoe. Maybe There will be other discoveries.”

Jia Ying happened to think so too. He nodded and said, "Then let's go quickly. We can't stay in the haunted house at night."

The two of them walked quickly to the west courtyard. They were the only two in the entire west courtyard. Jia Ying looked over at the ancestral hall and said, "That's where the actor's sister died. The blood inside was so thick that the ground was stained." famous."

He Min followed his line of sight and looked at him with a sigh: "It's really pitiful."

"No, the actor and his sister depended on each other for life. Now that the sister is gone, he is the only one left. Alas, things are unpredictable. I don't know what his plans will be in the future."
