Chapter 23

Surprised.

The Wuling He family, the largest family of witches in the west of Hunan, has produced many powerful witches, and their reputation is like thunder.In the west of Xiang Kingdom, where wizards have a very high status, the He family of Wuling is as powerful as a prince in Hunan, and his biological mother is actually a direct branch of that family of witches?

"Miss Biao, we have been looking for you for many years. At the beginning, the eldest lady eloped with your father. We only know that your father is from the country of Yao. We have been looking for you all these years. When we came to Shunjing a few days ago, we heard that ..."

"I heard that I'm dead, right?" Xiao Sesu looked at the two of them calmly, his eyes filled with hatred.

The gloomy man whispered: "We don't believe that Miss Biao is dead, so we searched for any possible clues in Shunjing, but we ran out of money, so we had to go through the black market to find a cooperative employer and earn some money."

Xiao Sesu murmured: "So it's such an oolong, you actually accepted the task of killing me."

The man who played Bawu asked suspiciously: "But Miss Biao, isn't your name Zhang Jinse? But the person we killed was obviously called Xiao Sesel. When did you become a lady of the Xiao Mansion?"

The gloomy man's eyes darkened, with killing intent in his eyes, "Could it be a mistake?"

Xiao Se was silent, picked up the worm flute and put it to his lips, and played the first piece of "Accompanying Gu" smoothly and unmistakably.

The tone of the ocarina was low and melodious, and along with the music, the sound of insects crawling around gradually rose, and poisonous scorpions emerged from the cracks in the stones, and gathered towards Xiao Sesu.

"This!" The man blowing Bawu stood up with trembling hands, looked at the poisonous scorpions around him, and said excitedly: "It's the He family's "Wan Gu Accompanying", it can't be wrong, this is Miss Biao, that's Miss Biao! "

The gloomy man also stood up and asked, "Why is Miss Biao so bleak?"

Xiao Sesu put down the ocarina, the cold night and the lonely moon reflected the bright snow light falling on her eyes, spreading a touch of melancholy and desolation.

She smiled wryly and murmured: "Borrowing a dead body back to life, do you believe it?"

The two men gasped, exchanged glances, and did not answer for a while.

Xiao Sese sighed: "Zhang Jinse is indeed dead. He was framed and imprisoned. He died under a messy stick, but when he opened his eyes, he became Xiao Sese, the stupid daughter of the right minister's mansion... Do you believe such an unimaginable thing? ?”

"Miss Biao, we believe it." This time, they answered Xiao Sesur immediately, "Although there are many witches and Gu masters in Xiang Country, the cultivation method of "Wan Gu Accompanying" was created by the He family, and it is not passed on to daughter-in-law. The worm flute in your hand and the music you played are the most direct evidence, we believe you are Miss Cousin."

Xiao Sesu smiled faintly: "Thank you for trusting me, this matter is just a secret between the three of us."

"Miss Biao, don't worry." The two knelt down and clasped their fists together, "We left Hunan for a few years just to find Miss Biao and Miss Biao. Since Miss Biao has long since passed away, Miss Biao, you are the master of both of us. Send, swear allegiance to the death!"

"Get up." Xiao Sesu stroked the insect flute and smiled slightly, "What's your name?"

The man playing Bawu replied: "My name is He Huan, and his name is He Wei."

"There is no joy in life, and there is no fear in death..." Xiao Sesu looked at Xiao's mansion, and from the hillside, he could clearly see how cold and gloomy the other courtyards were.

"He Huan, He Wei, do you know who the employer is?"

"Miss Biao, we don't know." He Huan said, "The employer hired people from the black market to recruit us, oh yes, we even lured many centipedes into your dowry a few days ago, fortunately, Miss Biao It's okay, otherwise we really will not be reborn!"

Xiao Seshui whispered: "You should not do this killer's deeds, it will damage the morality. But your employer made it clear that he would not let me live, so I have no choice but to feel sorry for him. He Huan, you are also a voodoo It’s not difficult for you to lure the centipedes in my yard to my employer.”

"It's not difficult, just follow Miss Biao's orders!"

After He Huan finished speaking, he played Bau and changed the tune.Lu Yi's screams in the distance continued, lighting up the lights and gathering towards Qiu Se Yuan, presumably Xiao Ke and the others had gone.It's a pity that the centipedes in Qiu Seyuan have already started to leave, no one in Xiao's residence will know what happened tonight.

Looking down at the Xiao Mansion, looking at the bright lights, Xiao Shusher brushed the snow off his shoulders, and said: "Tomorrow at noon, see you in the bamboo grove behind the Town God's Temple, and hear me playing the insect flute. Come out again, I have something to explain to you. "

He Huan said: "Miss Biao, don't worry, we will definitely go to the place ahead of time to guard it! Ah, by the way, Miss Biao, are you going back?"

"Well, go back to sleep, and wait until you wake up to see who died in the night."

He Huan scratched his ear, and asked in puzzlement, "How does Miss Biao know that the person who wants to kill you is around?"

Xiao Seshui remained silent, put away the insect flute, turned and left.

That night, in the yard of the most dilapidated and inferior woodshed in Xiao's mansion, there were bursts of rough calls.

A servant passed by the door of the room where the shouting sound came from, and glanced at the lights inside, which had long been turned off, and asked the people next to him in surprise: "It's dark, what is Mother Lu calling for?"

"Ghost knows! Maybe it's a nightmare! Anyway, since her tongue was cut off, she always screamed like this. Everyone knows that she is unwilling, but who told her to give poisonous fruit to Miss Fourth? Her life will be fine."

"That's right... if you do something bad, you will be punished."

"Yeah, leave her alone, let her call, let's go to sleep!"

"Go to bed."

The servants left one after another. After a long day of work, they all went back to their respective rooms and fell asleep. No one still thought about Mama Lu.

Mother Lu could only yell like this. Thousands of centipedes covered her body, paralyzing her movements. She wanted to call for help, but because she had no tongue, she could only utter an ugly cry.

The poison seeped into every inch of blood, and the pain and nausea made Mother Lu burst into tears.

Is this retribution?
Lu's mother stared and cried.

If she hadn't bullied Xiao Sesu from the beginning, wouldn't she have died so painfully?Harming others instead of harming herself, Lu's mother wailed regretfully until her voice became hoarse and her voice disappeared...

When Xiao Sesu woke up, the sun was shining brightly.After many days of snow and haze, the sky finally ushered in the clear sky, and even the air was much fresher.

Last night when the incident in the Qiuse Courtyard got into a commotion, Xiao Ke put Xiao Sesur in the warm pavilion in his study for the night. The couch in the warm pavilion was very comfortable, and Xiao Sesur slept well.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, let Luyi comb the double flat bun for her, across a screen, Xiao Sesu heard Xiao Ke talking to the housekeeper.

"Master, Mother Lu died last night."

"Mother Lu?"

"It's Miss Second's nanny, the old lady who wanted to poison Miss Fourth before."

"Oh, it's her. That evil slave will be thrown out when he dies. Don't tell me about such a trivial matter."

"Master, Mother Lu was poisoned to death by countless centipedes, and there are still many centipedes drilling into her body."

Only then did Xiao Ke raise his head from the table, and said coldly: "Those centipedes last night, so they went to that old Diao Nu. If this kind of wicked person is dead, get out quickly, and clean up the centipedes by the way." , don’t stay in the mansion and harm honest people.”

"Yes, my little one understands." The housekeeper withdrew.

Lu Yi was startled when she heard that, she put down her comb and said in surprise: "Miss, what did those centipedes do last night?

"It's nothing, it's none of our business." Xiao Sesu put the comb back into Luyi's hand.

Luyi came back to her senses, thinking of Xiao Sesur's calmness yesterday, she whispered subconsciously: "Miss, your performance last night didn't look stupid at all, Luyi is still wondering if you are slowly recovering."

Xiao Sesu asked back, "What did I do last night?"

"Didn't you forget, miss? You made me scream last night, you go find the master, you have never been so organized before."

"Organization?" Xiao Sesu asked in confusion, "What is organization?"

"This one……"

Xiao Sesel said: "I just want to call my father, pretend to scream, scare everyone, how fun!"

Lu Yi was speechless, it turned out that the lady only let her pretend to scream just because it was fun, and thought that the lady was not stupid, so disappointed!
After dressing up, Xiao Sesu insisted on putting on the maid's clothes, and only after Xiao Ke went to court, did he come out of the Nuan Pavilion and walk around Xiao's mansion with Lu Yi.

At about two o'clock, Xiao Sesu falsely claimed that he wanted to go out to play alone, and forced Luyi not to tell others, and then went out through the small gate of Xiao's mansion.

The small gate of Xiao's mansion is always used to let dead people go, but all the mansions in Shunjing are equipped with such shameful gates.

When Xiao Sesur walked out of the small door, a few servants next to him were carrying a dead man and wanted to go out. When they saw Xiao Sesur, they thought it was some maid, and scolded: "It's not too bad luck to walk from here."

Xiao Sesu didn't answer and asked instead: "Who is this dead?"

"Who else could it be, isn't it Mother Lu? The big guys say that she probably got retribution for doing something wrong, otherwise why so many centipedes only bit her?" Ding Ding said, and stared contemptuously at the white cloth. wrapped corpse.

After leaving this small door, the servants carried the corpse to the mass grave, and went to the Town God's Temple alone in a bleak manner, going east and west, just missing it by such a long distance.

Shunjing's Town God's Temple is built in the east of the city, and the temple is dedicated to Shunjing's City God, City God's wife, Yuelao, Tianhua Empress, Songzi Empress and Sixty Years Taisui God.Behind the Town God's Temple is the bamboo forest where Zhang Jinse buried the insect flute.

Estimating the time, it was noon when we arrived at the bamboo forest.The forest is awe-inspiring and pure, with snow-covered bamboos. After looking around for no one, he took out the worm flute and played the song for contacting He Huan and He Wei.

Not long after, two figures flew out from the darkness, skimmed across the snow, and arrived in front of Xiao Sesu.

Xiao Sesel said with a smile: "Your martial arts are good."

He Wei replied: "The two of us are dead soldiers raised by the He family. We have been in the He family since we were young children, and we have been poisoned. If we don't loyally protect the master, we will bleed to death from the seven orifices."

Xiao Sesu pondered for a moment, and murmured: "It turns out that you are not sincere..."

He feared: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the important thing is that Miss Biao can completely trust us."

Xiao Sesel smiled slightly: "Although I didn't fully trust you last night, I didn't want to doubt it in my heart. My mother passed away early, and now I am a stranger to the Zhang family, and I have no relatives. Your appearance means a lot to me. It's like having two older brothers all of a sudden."

"I really don't dare to do that." He feared clasping his fists, "Miss Biao is our young master, as long as Miss Biao is good, both of us will have a good life."

Xiao Sesel said: "Since everyone is prosperous and everyone is prosperous, and everyone is hurt, then we will share joys and sorrows."

"Liver and brain on the ground!"

Hearing what he was afraid to say so seriously, Xiao Sesu didn't take it seriously, and talked about business: "Can you contact the merchants on the black market?"

"Yes." He Huan said: "Miss Biao, what are you going to buy on the black market? We two brothers can do it for you. There is everything on the black market, and you can transfer goods everywhere."

Xiao Sesu shook his head and said, "I'm not here to buy anything, but to contact someone who knows how to disguise."

"Miss Biao wants to learn the Yirong Technique?" He Huan's eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing He Huan's honest and honest appearance, Xiao Sesu couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "I have something important in the hands of the current prince, and the prince's mansion is heavily guarded. Even if we can sneak in, we have no clue to find it. I think , if Yi Rong can become someone close to the prince, it will be much more convenient to do things."

He Huan scratched his ears, and looked at He Ji.

He feared with his hands behind his back, pondered for a while, and asked: "The important thing Miss Biao mentioned is the young lady's personal jade pendant?"

"It's the jade pendant. My mother said that the jade pendant has hidden secrets, why be afraid, you know it well?"

He fear shook his head slowly, with a calm expression, he had only heard that there was a secret hidden in the jade pendant, but he didn't know what it was.

Seeing that He Huan was afraid and didn't know about it, Xiao Sesel felt that the jade pendant was unusual, so he had to tell him: "You should pay attention to me. There must be intelligence agents on the black market who can get in touch with such an expert. Even if they There is always a time when you are short of money.”

He Huan cupped his hands in fear, He Huan said: "Miss Biao, don't worry, as soon as we have news, we will tell Miss Biao immediately."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Sesel smiled slightly, but she thought in her heart that if it was possible one day, she would be willing to let He Huanhe fear no longer be controlled by the Gu insects and let them be free.
