Chapter 349 Everyone Knows
After Yao Changjun regained consciousness, he called his attendants to come in and asked, "Have you found anything?"

Chang Suizhan shook his head tremblingly. He usually had a very good ability in doing things. He couldn't follow the head of the Yao family as an errand if he didn't have any skills. But everything that happened tonight was too weird, and there were no clues at all.

Yao Changjun slammed the table hard, "Trash! If you have done anything, there will be traces. Are you all blind?"

Chang Sui was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Sir, I have checked over and over again, but there are really no traces. The two gatekeepers also pulled me down and slapped the board, but even though they were beaten to pieces, they still said the same thing, I just fainted for no reason, and I didn't hear any movement, let alone a human figure. And there are so many valuable things missing in your study. If you add them all up, you can't even hold a single baggage, and the red coral alone is there. It’s more than half a meter high, and there’s also the jade-carved horse. It’s difficult for the slave to move it alone. How did the thief take it away without anyone noticing?”

Therefore, it is not a thief or a human being at all, but a ghost. Only ghosts can explain these abnormal phenomena.

Yao Changjun shuddered, and suddenly felt that the study room was bone-chillingly cold. He was half-convinced about the ghost theory. How could those dirty things be provoked in his home for no reason? But if it wasn’t a ghost, who could do it?

Rather than provoking some powerful person, at this moment, he would rather be haunted by ghosts.

"Leave the city tomorrow morning and quickly go find powerful Taoist priests. Invite a few more to come to your home to practice. Remember, you must keep a low profile. If you are found out and asked, just say... The second master had a nightmare at night. Please invite the Taoist priests. Yes. Be prepared.”

Chang Sui responded respectfully. If it wasn't too late to get out of the city gate, he would have wanted to leave now.

It was really too scary to live in the mansion right now. He was afraid that the ghost hadn't left yet. What if it showed up from nowhere later?
He had seen with his own eyes the miserable state of those young men before, and he also knew the miserable state of the second master. He could be saved from being possessed by evil spirits, but if there was something wrong with his lifeblood, it would be a lifelong tragedy.

The master and servants of the Yao family could not sleep all night.

The 'culprit' who caused all this was sleeping and snoring in the RV. He didn't open his eyes until he was woken up by his wife. After finishing the work last night, he had already passed the ugly part. After only two hours of sleep, my mind was still very sleepy, so I mumbled something like, "I'll just squint for a few more minutes..."

Gu Huanxi looked at the things that suddenly hid in the car, and he still couldn't react. How could he continue to sleep, "Don't sleep. It's time. If you don't go out, Li Yunting will be suspicious."

Xu Huaiyi closed his eyes and said, "It's okay, I stayed in the new house last night, I was the only one..."

Gu Huanxi thought of something and his expression changed, "Did you go to Yao's house to cause trouble last night? Did it go well? Were you injured? Were you discovered?"

Hearing her worries, Xu Huaiyi wiped his face and sat up, "It went very well, nothing happened. Look at those things, they are all trophies. This trip is really worth it."

Gu Huan was relieved when he saw that there were indeed no wounds on his body, "Tell me, tell me, what have you done? Broke Yao Changming's leg? And stole someone else's warehouse?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and pinched her nose, "I guessed none of them correctly."

Gu Huanxi raised his eyebrows and slapped his hand away, "You didn't break Yao Changming's leg? Didn't you steal anything? Then where did all these things come from?"

Xu Huaiyi thought of something and blinked at her ambiguously, "You can also say that he broke Yao Changming's leg, but it was just the third leg."

Gu Huanxi, "..."

Is that what she guessed?

"It's just what you think, hahaha. From now on, Yao Changming will be almost like a eunuch. The only difference is that the things are still there, but they can't be used. It will probably be even worse if you look at them like this, hahaha..."

Gu Huanxi was speechless and curious, "How on earth did you do it?"

Xu Huaiyi described what happened last night in detail, and finally asked like he wanted to take credit, "How was it? Did I do a good job?"

Gu Huanxi gave a thumbs up.

Xu Huaiyi instantly beamed, "I also think that compared to directly breaking his legs, pretending to be a ghost last night was a stroke of genius. It was also God who helped me. Who knew it was so late and he was still tossing about it. It was all retribution. He was plotting against me behind his back." "How can I not seize such a good opportunity?"

Gu Huanxi muttered, "With the RV here, I don't worry about leaving any traces when pretending to be a ghost, but do the people of the Yao family believe it is a ghost? Do they think of you? After all, you are the one who plotted against you, and you are the most suspicious."

Xu Huaiyi said, "Definitely. In order to strengthen the impression of ghosts, I deliberately performed another elusive show in front of the boys when I left. Anyway, I can't do it with my current Qinggong. I can only think about ghosts and gods, and the way I dress. , lifelike, completely a reappearance of black impermanence. People in ancient times were superstitious and easy to fool.”

Gu Huanxi nodded, "What about these things?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "I moved it from Yao Changjun's study. By the way, there are also these things..."

As he spoke, he clicked on his phone and enlarged the picture he took to show her.

Gu Huanxi's expression gradually changed.

Xu Huaiyi was most impatient to read the account books, not even the letters. There were many traditional Chinese characters in them, and he also liked to quote scriptures and beat around the bush, which was too taxing on his brain. So while Gu Huanxi was reading it, he went to wash up and wait for him to wash up. After finishing two steamed buns, Gu Huanxi looked up from the phone screen.

Seeing that she looked wrong, Xu Huaiyi knew that there must be very important news there, but he couldn't care less about it at the moment, "Daughter-in-law, I'm almost late. I got into the car at noon and said, if you don't have time, just wait. night."

Gu Huanxi exhaled, "Okay, I'll organize those useful things for your convenience."

"Okay, okay..." That would save you effort.

Xu Huaiyi stepped out of the RV, got dressed, and hurried to the martial arts academy. He rushed into the classroom just in time. He didn't even listen to much of what was said in class. His mind was filled with what was written in the letters and what was written in the letters. Is there someone important involved in the account book? Otherwise, why would my wife’s face look so ugly?
After much thought, Xu Huaiyi had no clue. He frowned and was still a little agitated. In Li Yunting's eyes, this scene meant that he had encountered a difficult problem and was worried that there was no solution.

So after class, he took Xu Huaiyi to a remote corner and asked with concern, "Did something happen?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, "No."

He answered quickly and simply. Li Yunting paused and said, "You can't trust me? You don't want to tell me?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and punched him on the shoulder, "What are you thinking about? I didn't lie to you, nothing happened. Look, I'm not okay? There's not even a scratch on my oily skin all over my body."

Li Yunting believed him and asked puzzledly, "Why did I see that you were not feeling well in that class?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, you really don't pay attention to the lectures and why are you always staring at me? I was thinking about something, and there was something I couldn't figure out, so I was upset..."

"What can't you figure out?" "It's not convenient to tell you right now. I'll talk to you after I figure it out in two days, so that you won't have to worry about it."

Hearing this, Li Yunting raised the corner of his mouth and stopped asking. Anyway, it was not that he couldn't believe him and lied to him with random excuses. As for whether he went to Yao's house for revenge last night, he was sensible enough not to ask about this topic.

No matter how good a friend is, he should have privacy that cannot be disclosed to outsiders. Asking everything and saying everything is a lack of heart.

However, he sent people out to inquire, mainly watching every move of the Yao family. Therefore, by noon, he had almost understood the strange things that happened in the Yao family. Although Yao Changjun had issued a hush order, the people involved last night There were too many people, and the ghostly screams spread all over the house, making it impossible to hide them.

Furthermore, the Yao family sent several waves of people out of the city to look for Taoist priests, and they had to have profound Taoist skills. Anyone who was interested would know what was going on if they inquired about it. It was because the house was haunted that they asked the Taoist priests to go back and catch it. ?

In addition, the Yao family was stolen. Yao Changjun is also an old fox. He knows that many things are only half-truth and half-false to be credible, so he did not hide the theft from the study and even reported the case in a serious manner. Jingzhao Mansion Came here to look for clues, but unfortunately, they searched the entire mansion and found no useful clues.

However, the most scandalous thing was Yao Changming's scandal. Yao Changjun originally didn't want to hire an outside doctor because he was afraid that it would spread and make people laugh, but he underestimated Yao Changming's ability to bear this incident. After having trouble with housing, he collapsed. He even beat and scolded him, and urged the boy to find a doctor with good medical skills to see him, but he didn't care about anything.

Yao Changjun couldn't be comforted, so he had no choice but to let him do it. He even used his personal connections to invite an imperial doctor.

However, after seeing many doctors, they all euphemistically said that there was little hope of cure. In fact, as long as the mind is calm and the mood is adjusted, most of it can recover on its own without the need to take medicine. , However, Yao Changming's case is special. Firstly, he is a little older, and secondly, the degree of shock was too severe. It is said that he was so frightened that he lost his mind and fainted. Naturally, the degree of injury was more serious. Thirdly, he was unlucky. When he gets emotional and gets frightened, and falls from a height to hell, he is considered strong even if he is not crazy.

There are many people talking, and the Yao family's affairs are spread out as soon as they come out. Especially the gossip about Yao Changming becoming an eunuch is the most popular among the people.

The common people would still be a little taboo and fearful when talking about high-ranking officials, but the Yao family is a family of fifth-rank officials. In the capital, you can meet a few people with extraordinary wealth just walking around, and fifth-rank officials don't take it seriously at all.

On the other hand, in the Jingwu Academy, due to its isolation, it had not spread yet. After Li Yunting found out, he treated it as gossip and casually talked about it while eating.

Except for Su Zhe, no one else knew that Xu Huaiyi suspected that the Yao family was plotting against him, so after hearing this, they just listened for fun.

But Su Zhe couldn't help but stir in his heart. He and Li Yunting had the same idea. Could the 'ghost' be Xu Huaiyi pretending to be it?

But then I thought about it and thought it was impossible. Judging from the reaction of the Yao family, there was no doubt that someone was pretending to be a ghost, but I was convinced that it was a ghost, something erratic, elusive, something eight feet tall, with a green face and fangs. In short, except for It's a ghost, no one can pretend to be like that.

The ancients believed in the theory of gods and ghosts, which is why Xu Huaiyi dared to play this trick. Only by blaming everything on the ghost can he be taken out.

Facing Su Zhe's meaningful gaze, Xu Huaiyi looked very calm, and he also joined Zhao Sanyou in discussing the Yao family gossip for a while. At first glance, he seemed to have no guilt at all. Even Li Yunting didn't notice anything strange.

"The Yao family is quite unlucky, so why did they attract ghosts? Did they do something immoral?" Zhao Sanyou said carelessly, saying whatever came to his mind, "Could it be a ghost that took his life?"

Wang Qiusheng said, "Didn't you say that there are no dead people in the Yao family? Only a few fainted from fright. If it's a ghost, can you go back empty-handed?"

"That's true. What does it mean that a ghost appears for no reason? It can't just be to scare people, right?" Zhao Sanyou couldn't figure it out, scratching his head and ears, and he was extremely curious.

Meng Ping interjected, "Didn't you say that the Yao family's study was also robbed? Could it be because of those things?"

Zhao Sanyou was even more confused, "The study is full of gold, silver, jade and other ornaments. What else does the ghost need? Can you use it when you take it back? When we go to the graves of our ancestors, all we burn are gold ingots folded with paper. Who knows?" Is it true that you have been burned?”

Wang Qiusheng's eyes flashed, "Then maybe it wasn't done by ghosts, maybe it was really a gentleman from Liang Shang who visited me."

Zhao Sanyou said, "It's very possible that I just don't know which master is able to do it without leaving any traces. People from Jingzhao Mansion can't find any clues even if they check. Alas, if you have such ability, why go there?" Are you a thief? How much do you want to take the martial arts test with us?"

Su Zhe suddenly said, "Ordinary thieves rarely go to the study room to steal, because the study room is an important place, the most tightly guarded, and it contains the least gold and silver. Going to the warehouse is the wisest choice."

Hearing this, Zhao Sanyou felt as if he was enlightened, "Yeah, why do you go to the study to steal something? Usually the study is full of books, and it's hard to deal with those things if they are stolen. Could it be..."

He paused, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Are you trying to find the secrets of the Yao family?"

It can be said that it is common sense that the study room has the most secrets. If you want to know who has the handle, go to the study room to find the most promising one.

This guess was recognized by several other people.

Su Zhe couldn't hold it back and asked, "Huaiyi, what do you think?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "I think it shouldn't be."

"why?"

Others also looked at him curiously.

Only Li Yunting knew what was going on and continued to eat calmly.

Xu Huaiyi explained, "It's very simple. Did Mr. Yao report the crime? If something important was really lost in the study, did he dare to let people from Jingzhao Mansion come to check? It was too late to hide it. How could it be reported? Everyone knows?"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that just now?" Zhao Sanyou hammered his head in frustration.

Wang Qiusheng smiled bitterly and said, "I actually ignored it. I really shouldn't have."

Su Zhe laughed and said, "He is still thoughtful and considerate. So, the thief really only stole some gold and silver. It happened on the same night as the haunting in Mr. Yao Er's yard. I don't know if there is any involvement in it." ”

Zhao Sanyou opened his mind and guessed, "Did that ghost make all those noises to provide cover for the thieves?"

Xu Huaiyi was amused, "Humans and ghosts have different paths. Brother Zhao, what do you think? You are still trying to cooperate. Is it possible that the ghost and the human still know each other?"

Zhao Sanyou nodded, "It's very possible. Like our ancestors, after they die, don't they all become... Huh? No, it's time for reincarnation. Only those who can't be reincarnated turn into ghosts. Good guy, I'm so stupid. The pimples are almost coming up..."

He said he was shocked.
