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

Chapter 78 Murder in the North of the City

Qu'er, who was inspired by Xu Anan, was very excited: "Mother, I will work seriously and will never let you down."

Yes, she can compete with Forsythia now. As long as she does better than Forsythia, does she also have a chance to become a palace maid?
Xu An'an has said that, it depends on whether Qu'er is willing to crawl. She will give him a chance. If he has this intention, she won't mind supporting him.

She just wants to find a palace maid who is caring and obedient. The most important thing is to be loyal.

The cavalry arrived at the Yangxin Hall. This time, there were no ministers who came to complain to Cheng Huai. They probably knew that this man was out of luck, so they didn't come.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for a concubine?"

Hearing the voice, he raised his eyes to look at her and responded softly: "Well, we have a clue about Master Huang."

clue?

She raised her eyebrows lightly: "Wouldn't it be better to just invite him into the palace?"

"he died."

Xu Anan was stunned: "When did you die?"

"Two days ago."

Isn't this the day Su Liangyuan confessed to him?

How could it be such a coincidence that Su Liangyuan confessed to him, and then he died too.

Xu Anan's expression became more solemn: "How did you die?"

Cheng Huai also rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "There was a serial murder case in the north of the city. At first, the people thought it was man-made, so they just reported it to Jingzhao Mansion. After several days of investigation, the people of Jingzhao Mansion couldn't find it. clue."

"Until one day, a watchman happened to pass by there in the middle of the night. He saw a woman walking into the house in the north of the city. The next day, the woman hanged herself at the door of the house, and the story of the haunting spread. "

"The people from Jingzhao Mansion went to see Wong Tai Sin, who had the ability to exorcise evil spirits. However, Wong Tai Sin, who had visited a haunted house, died violently at home the next day. There was a circle of black and blue pinch marks around his neck. , he was probably strangled to death in the middle of the night."

"It is said among the people that he was killed by a fierce ghost. I only found out about this recently. The matter is getting bigger and bigger. Yao Zhuoyu, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, said it in the Jinluan Palace today."

Murder case in the north of the city?
Xu Anan suddenly remembered the gossip he heard in Yunsang that day. The two commoners seemed to have said that several girls in the north of the city had died inexplicably. He did not expect it to be so serious.

Master Huang also died at this moment. Xu Anan originally wanted to summon Master Huang into the palace and ask him how he learned about the evil magic of the Soul Gathering Array. After all, this evil magic had disappeared thousands of years ago. , generally some Taoist priests will not come into contact with this kind of classics at all.

Everything about the Soul Gathering Array has been completely destroyed long ago, and only a Xuanmen family like Xu Anan, who has a profound foundation, still has some information about the Soul Gathering Array.

"What did Yao Fuyin say?"

Cheng Huai also frowned: "Except for the woman who the watchman said entered the haunted house and was hanged at the door, the other deaths were in different ways, but the methods were very cruel. The murderer could not be found, so we had to Put it on the ghosts."

"What do you think?"

Xu Anan glanced at him and shook his head: "Can't be sure."

After all, she didn't go to that haunted house to have a look, so she didn't know what the situation was.

Thinking of this, she was a little curious: "Why is it called a haunted house?"

Cheng Huai also glanced at her and explained lightly: "According to historical records, the house in the north of the city was the residence of a powerful family in the previous dynasty. When the Daqi army invaded the city, many ministers of the former dynasty committed suicide because of the humiliation. At home, there are occasionally cowards who want to live and beg for mercy, hoping to let them go."

"And that family belonged to a prince named Sheng from the previous dynasty. On the day the city was breached, he and his entire family of 180 people set themselves on fire in the mansion. The fire burned for three days and three nights. After the fire was extinguished, someone went in to check. There were Many servants were impaled on iron nails." "It is also said that after the founding of the Qi Dynasty, mansions of dignitaries were built there, but there were strange noises every night, and animals died inexplicably. Over time, the place in the north of the city became deserted. After that, people disliked the bad luck there, so the area in the north of the city is now mostly a place where poor people live."

"These dead women are also common people who have lived in the north of the city all year round. The women disappeared mysteriously and were found in the haunted house. The noise was loud, so it naturally attracted attention."

Xu Anan glanced at Cheng Huaiye: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do first?"

"Check first. How can there be so many coincidences?"

Xu Anan knew that he was talking about Master Huang. Master Huang's death was so untimely, but he died on the day Su Liangyuan exposed him.

If it was really man-made, he should have restrained himself when this matter was exposed to Cheng Huaiye.

At this time, Mu Chen and Mu Qing walked in together.

They glanced at Xu An'an and saw that Cheng Huai didn't say anything. Mu Chen said: "Master, Su Liangyuan's body has been buried, and the thirty clay pots you told me were buried beside her."

"But today a subordinate came to report that Su Liangyuan's body is still there, but the clay pots are missing."

Cheng Huai didn't expect that the clay pots were missing. They were the hearts of thirty people, and there was one that belonged to Su Liangyuan's sweetheart.

"Where's Song Ji's?" Xu Anan asked.

Song Ji was not born in the Yin year.

Mu Qing scratched his head: "The one with the red jar?"

"Correct."

Mu Qing thought about it carefully: "It seems that the red jar is still there, lying next to Su Liangyuan's body."

Cheng Huai also said calmly: "You guys go down."

Mu Qing glanced at the two of them quietly, then pulled Mu Chen away.

The two dared to discuss quietly after they walked far away. Mu Qing couldn't hold it back and asked: "What's going on between the master and Concubine Ming? Is this a new tactic to lure the enemy? Directly capture Concubine Ming and switch sides?"

Mu Chen frowned: "I don't know, Concubine Ming is a variable. She is naturally the best to help the master. If she has the idea of ​​harming the master, the master will probably not keep her anymore."

Mu Qing chuckled: "Actually, this is quite good. The master is cold and cold as an adult. If someone comes to cover it up, our life will be much easier in the future. You see, the master is abstaining from sex himself, and he also brings us singles in the hidden guard camp. Alas, when can I take a vacation and meet my love outside?"

Mu Chen said expressionlessly: "You can go now, no one will stop you."

"That won't work. There are more and more strange things happening in the capital now. Master needs my protection."

Mu Chen was too lazy to talk to him and asked, "Where are Mu Teng and Mu Yi?"

"In the north of the city." Mu Qing picked a leaf along the road and chewed it in his mouth: "I'll tell them to be careful. Just keep an eye on them from a distance. Don't get close to that evil place."

Mu Chen nodded: "Go ahead, I still have to keep an eye on Concubine Ming."

Mu Qing sighed incomprehensively: "What's there to keep an eye on? I think Concubine Ming is quite cute and has a cool temper. You guys are just too nervous."
