The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

Chapter 22 Deception

There were cries in the lobby of Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

The parents who recognized their children were extremely grateful to Mr. Li.

"Sir, Prince Ling has arrived."

Mr. Li ordered people to send the people away and then went to the back hall.

"I'm going to see you, Prince Ling."

"Master Li, please stand up."

Mr. Li stood up and did not dare to be negligent. No one in Xijing knew the reputation of King Ling. Although it was heard that King Ling was seriously injured in a battle with the Nanman six months ago and his body was gradually weakening, the emperor's love for this young son did not diminish at all, otherwise he would not He will not be allowed to appoint him as Minister of Dali Temple after he recovers.

"Your Majesty, the lower officials have made it clear that the eldest lady and second young master of the Gu family were wrongly accused, and are not the child-stealing thieves as Li He said."

Yan Linyuan's eyebrows did not change when he heard this, making it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry, "Leave Li He to Dali Temple and I will handle it."

"Yes."

Mr. Li continued: "Your Majesty, it is strange to visit the eldest lady of the Gu family. Today, with her help, the official found the stolen children."

Mr. Li described in amazement how Gu Mengyin found the child, and concluded with a sigh in the last couplet, "I didn't expect Miss Gu to have such ability at such a young age."

There was a faint smile in the corner of Yan Linyuan's eyes, "She is indeed powerful. The court attaches great importance to this case. In order to solve the case as soon as possible, the Dali Temple will cooperate with the Jingzhao Yin Mansion to investigate the case."

"Yes."

……

As soon as Gu Mengyin returned to Gu Mansion, Gu Wenbin ran over happily.

"Great-aunt, great-aunt, I bought it. I bought you what you want."

Gu Wenbin took out a brocade box and handed it to Gu Mengyin as if he was offering a treasure.

"what?"

Gu Mengyin opened the brocade box doubtfully.

"Thunder strike wood, didn't my great-aunt ask me to buy you a lightning strike wood before? Look, I bought it, is it this one?"

The wood lying in the box was only as thick as a thumb and was carved into the shape of a wooden sword, with bursts of light emitting from the wood.

She closed the brocade box and asked, "Where did you buy it from?"

"I found it in an antique shop after looking for it for a long time. The store owner said it was rare. I was lucky enough to find it. It cost me 500 taels of silver."

Gu Mengyin frowned and said, "You spend 500 taels of silver to buy a piece of coffin wood?"

Gu Wenbin looked confused, "Huh? What did my great-aunt say? Isn't this the lightning strike wood you want?"

"No, this is just a piece of coffin wood soaked in corpse oil."

Gu Wenbin was startled and quickly jumped away from the brocade box.

"Third brother, you have been taken advantage of again." Gu Wenque said sarcastically.

Gu Wenbin suppressed a blush in his face. Fortunately, he went to his great-aunt so excitedly to ask for credit, but he didn't expect that he would be offended.

"This profiteer, I'm going to trouble him right now."

Gu Mengyin put the brocade box into the Qiankun bag on her body, "I'll go with you."

"Auntie, I'll go too. The third brother can't help but hit me. My fists are harder than his."

Gu Wenbin was unhappy, "Second brother, you can go if you want. Why are you trying to step on me?"

"Who made you stupid."

"Okay, hurry up."

"Yes, great-aunt."

The three of them left Gu's mansion in a carriage.

The antique store Wenbin mentioned was located in a relatively remote place, and he only found it after hearing someone tell him about it.

"It's right over there, the store in front."

The carriage stopped on a relatively deserted street.

Gu Wenbin couldn't wait to jump out of the car and rush into the store, "Shopkeeper, come out here."

As soon as Gu Mengyin got out of the car, she felt a strong yin energy rushing towards her face.

The store is also very dark and looks gloomy.

"Where's the man? Shopkeeper, please come out." Gu Wenbin called in the store for a while but no one responded.

"Isn't it because you knew you sold me fake goods and was afraid that I would come to your door and cause trouble and run away?"

"Even if he ran away, there is no need to leave the courtyard door open." Gu Wenque felt that things were not that simple.

"puff"

There was a sudden sound behind the store.

Gu Wenbin was so angry that he opened the curtain and rushed over.

"I knew you were hiding...ah, ah!"

Gu Mengyin's pupils shrank, and she quickly went to the backyard with Gu Wenque, and saw Gu Wenbin sitting beside a well in the courtyard with a look of horror on his face.

"what happened?"

Gu Wenbin pointed in the direction of the well tremblingly.

Gu Mengyin walked to the well and looked down. There was a corpse with white eyes floating in the deep well.

She took out a piece of talisman and threw it into the well. The moment the talisman touched the corpse, the originally swollen body instantly became shriveled up, looking exactly like Cai Yue's.

Suddenly, a black mist flashed past the back door. Gu Mengyin's eyebrows darkened, and she turned around and chased after him.

"Go and report to the official immediately."

"Auntie, you have to be careful."

Gu Wenque glanced at Gu Wenbin, who was still sitting on the ground, but did not catch up after all.

Gu Mengyin used a tracking charm and quickly chased the black shadow to the ruined temple where the three children were found.

"boom"

As soon as he stepped into the ruined temple, the temple door behind him was slammed shut.

The surroundings also became quiet, and no sound could be heard in my ears.

A gust of wind passed by, and the statue standing in the temple suddenly moved.

A high-pitched voice sounded, "Where did you come from, I don't know the heights of heaven and earth, but you dare to ruin my good deeds. Today I will let you know how powerful I am."

The statue slowly stood up from the platform, and dust and cobwebs fell.

Gu Mengyin's eyebrows were cold, her eyes were like daggers, and her expression was contemptuous, "There's so much nonsense."

The statue opened its fangs and bit Gu Mengyin.

Gu Mengyin took out a talisman pen and drew a talisman in the air.

"The sky is round and the earth is in a round place. There are nine chapters of laws and regulations. I am writing now. All the ghosts are hiding in them, and they are as urgent as the laws and regulations."

The talisman is like a net, shining with golden light and covering the statue of the god.

Gu Mengyin only heard a sharp scream, the statue collapsed, and the black mist came out of the statue, trying to escape.

Gu Mengyin sneered, "I want to run away, but I won't agree."

The cinnabar in his hand flew out and disappeared into the black mist.

"what!"

After the shrill screams, the black mist fell heavily to the ground and turned into the phantom of a woman in white.

Gu Mengyin approached her step by step.

The female ghost in white was so frightened that she backed away.

She wanted to escape, but the place had been sealed by Gu Mengyin with talisman paper. She couldn't escape at all, so she could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Taoist Master, please spare my life. Taoist Master, please spare me this time. I, I have no choice."

Gu Mengyin raised her eyes coldly, "I'll spare you and let you harm those innocent people again?"

"Taoist Master, I was really forced. If I didn't kill him, he would have kept my soul tied up to prevent me from being reincarnated."

"You mean, the owner of the antique shop was controlling you?"

"Yes, it's him. He asked me to do everything."

"Tell me carefully, what did he ask you to do?"
