Chapter 158 Find the secret way
Xu Anan returned to the haunted house again. Qiao Xiangsi fainted and lay on the ground. Cheng Huai was not here either. General Zhu did not dare to step forward to avoid suspicion.

Xu Anan helplessly went to help the person up and lean on him. The next moment, a figure hurried in.

He picked up Qiao Xiangsi. The person who came was Meng Shiyuan. The nervous look on his face could not be faked. He was relieved when he saw that Qiao Xiangsi was fine.

"Thank you very much, Concubine Ming, for rescuing my wife."

Xu Anan glanced at him and said, "Let her go if you don't want her to die."

Meng Shiyuan's body stiffened slightly, his eyes darkened: "This is my family matter. Even if you are the empress, you have no right to interfere with my family matter."

Xu Anan shrugged helplessly: "Why don't you listen? You are not destined to get married, and you can't force it, Prince Xun."

Meng Shiyuan held Qiao Xiangsi's hand tightly, and he smiled: "I don't believe in fate, so you can't restrain me or her."

"Since you insist on having your own way, I wish you good luck."

After Meng Shiyuan left, Xu Anan looked at General Zhu: "Where is the emperor?"

"Going in your direction."

Xu Anan had to go one more time to look for Cheng Huaiye. When she came to the ancestral hall, she saw him with his back to the door and his eyes on the Buddha statue.

When Xu Anan came closer, she found a corpse lying on the ground. His neck had been wiped. Xu Anan stepped over the corpse and came to Cheng Huaiye's side. Following his direction, she also looked at the Buddha statue.

"what happened?"

"When I came here last time, its Buddha body was upright, but now it's a little crooked."

Xu Anan looked at him in surprise: "Are you so observant? Can you detect such subtle changes?"

"got used to."

Get used to caution.

Xu Anan looked at the fresh and hot corpse again: "What's going on?"

"I don't know. When I came, he was already dead. He just died not long ago."

Xu Anan thought that He Min did not come from here, so when He Min was about to kill Qiao Xiangsi, the second murderer was dealing with this person.

Two murderers appeared in the murderous house at the same time.

Behind him was Yao Zhuoyu who came after hearing the news. He never thought that He Min, who hated the murderers the most, was actually one of the perpetrators.

He was really sad, it was obvious that his sister died an unexpected death.But he could turn around and use the same method to retaliate against other innocent women.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ming, your humble minister is late and deserves death."

Cheng Huai also turned to look at Yao Zhuoyu who was kneeling on the ground, and then pointed to the body on the ground: "Go and find out who he is."

General Zhu came in with a group of guards: "Your Majesty, let me search this ancestral hall."

I had searched here before, but I didn’t see any problem so I put it down. I didn’t expect that the problem actually existed here.

After about a stick of incense, General Zhu shouted: "Your Majesty, we have found it."

I saw the body of the Buddha statue being pushed away slowly by the crowd. There was a covered wooden board under the Buddha statue. When it was opened, it revealed a deep cellar.

Sure enough, there was a secret passage. The guards climbed down with the help of ladders, and only after landing safely did they call out from below.

General Zhu hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, let me go and investigate."

Xu Anan stepped forward: "I'll go down and see for myself."

"But Madam, there may be danger down there." General Zhu advised.

"Nothing." General Zhu looked at Cheng Huaiye and saw that he did not stop him, so he moved away. After Xu Anan got down, Cheng Huai also sighed slightly.

He had no choice but to follow.

"Your Majesty, you have a distinguished status. I will leave this task of exploring the path to you."

Cheng Huai also glanced at him: "Then can you call Concubine Ming up?"

General Zhu: "..."

He couldn't, so he gave in to Cheng Huai.

The cellar road is very narrow at first, but gradually opens up later. The most surprising thing is that there are coffins placed on both sides.

Ash had fallen on the coffins, which had been there for a long time. A guard counted them: "My Lady, there are 180 coffins in total."

The guard pushed open the lid of one of the coffins, and inside were bones burned to pitch black.

Xu Anan also found that there were several unawakened corpses inside. Kui corpses would wake up automatically when stained with blood, just like Sheng Li, but she was not at the level of Kui corpses yet.

Xu Anan poured countless amounts of water on the corpses, and the mummies turned into a puddle of black water visible to the naked eye. Some of the guards turned pale when they saw it.

She looked at Xu Anan in horror, wondering what method she used to turn the corpse into water.

Cheng Huai also came from behind and glanced at him: "Are these the 180 people who died in Prince Sheng's Mansion?"

Xu Anan nodded: "It's very possible that this house has too much death and resentment. Ordinary people will get sick if they stay there for more than three months, and if it's more serious, they will die."

General Zhu glanced at Xu An'an after hearing this, and he was a little curious: "My Lady, are you also involved in mystical arts?"

Xu Anan raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "You know a little bit, by the way, General Zhu, generals like you who go to the battlefield should have life and death in their belts. They must be safe, right?"

General Zhu nodded: "Yes, every time I go on an expedition, I have to go to the temple to bathe and burn incense to pray for peace."

Xu Anan took out her Ping'an Mansion: "Buy this to guarantee your safety. You are a good boy. If you get a fake one, you will pay ten!"

General Zhu: "..."

He was a little hesitant. This Concubine Ming was a charlatan no matter what.

Xu Anan continued: "It only costs one tael of silver. I'm selling it at a friendly price. Next time it will cost ten taels of silver."

When General Zhu heard that the price would increase in the future, he took out a couple of silver coins from his wallet and said, "I want it, so let's take it as sustenance."

Xu Anan collected the money and then looked at the other guards: "Do you want it?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, then looked at the expressionless Cheng Huaiye. For the sake of the emperor, they all took out a tael of silver: "My subordinates, buy one too."

So tonight Xu Anan sold about thirty peace charms and made more than thirty taels. She was so happy that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. Feeling the heavy weight in her purse, she got a little closer to Cheng Huai: "Your Majesty, give it to me again." Bring some talismans with you."

Cheng Huaiye: "..."

It turns out that she is so good at planning, she earns all the money, and he gets nothing for his efforts.

Xu Anan also added: "As long as low-level talisman paper is enough."

Cheng Huai also glanced at her: "What about me?"

Xu Anan touched his wallet in pain: "When I make money, I can give you some, okay?"

Cheng Huai also looked at her funny and responded softly: "Yeah."

The guards felt that they had been cheated. This ordinary peace charm did not seem to be as beautiful as the one in the temple, and it was folded in a sloppy way. Everyone sighed again and bought everything, in order not to waste the one tael of silver. Wear them all.
