Nightmare Apostle

Su Tingting was stunned when she heard this, and quickly spat out the grave soil, "Not here? How... How could it be not here? Did the Bai Banzhu and his men kill the person somewhere else?"

"Or they carried the body along the way, and the child's body was not big, so they just put it in any box." Su Tingting started to think.

Looking at the direction of the Soul-Calming Pagoda from a distance, Yang Xiao's face also became ugly. Now he could only see the top of the pagoda, "It doesn't make sense. This is the best place to bury the body. They won't travel a long distance with the body. That would be too risky. Besides, burying the body here will also use the pagoda to suppress it. The child's resentful soul will be trapped and unable to leave, which also avoids the possibility of revenge."

Putting himself in the shoes of the Bai Banzhu, Yang Xiao really couldn't find a better place to bury the body. If he were the Bai Banzhu, this would be the only choice along the way from the Feng Mansion to the dock.

After a moment of silence, Kuang Hongyi finally said what he had been holding in his heart, "Could it be... that the child is not dead?"

Su Tingting was stunned. She suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. She said in surprise: "Brother Kuang, what are you talking about? How could she not be dead? If she is not dead, where is the child? Also, you were not there at the time and you may not know. Manager Liu of the coffin shop also said that if the child is not dead, there is no reason why Chunjie's ghost can't find her."

However, Yang Xiao seemed to have thought of something. Gradually, a bold guess took shape in his mind, even though he himself felt that it was not true. Maybe, "Let's go, go back first."

"Go... where?"

"Of course, back to the carriage. Let's go to Crouching Tiger Manor and find Manager Liu." Yang Xiao used his eyes to remind Su Tingting, "Remember, when you meet Zhao Wushi and his people later, don't mention what happened just now to them. Just say that things are more complicated than we expected, but there are already clues, but we still need to make some preparations."

"Miss Su, in short, just don't talk. If there are any problems, my brother Chu and I will help you deal with them." Su Tingting's reaction and scheming were too ordinary, and Kuang Hongyi was worried that he would be found out.

Beside the khaki road, two carriages were parked one after the other. The coachman of the carriage in front pulled a handful of fresh grass leaves and was feeding the horses.

In the back, Zhao Wushi and his men gathered together, found a shady place, and stared at the road where Yang Xiao and his men came back with a grim look.

A young martial artist with a square face and a scar on his right cheek approached Master Zhao and lowered his voice: "Boss Zhao, it's been so long, why haven't they come back yet?"

"What's the hurry? They are going to the Soul-Calming Tower. Do you think you are a useless brothel visitor?" Master Zhao frowned and glanced at his three subordinates, "Do you know what to do later?"

Another martial artist dressed shirtless grinned, revealing a cruel smile, "As long as they show up, there's nothing to say, just hack them to death and bury them..."

But Before he finished speaking, he was hit on the head with a punch. Master Zhao was furious. "Damn it, you killed someone without asking any questions. How can we report back? Is the matter resolved? What should we say when the master asks, and how can we get the reward?"

"Remember, don't rush when you see them. Get their words first. After confirming that the matter is done, it won't be too late to take action."

"Yes, yes, yes, we brothers all listen to Boss Zhao. It's fun to work with Boss Zhao, and you won't suffer any loss!" Another martial artist with good sense flattered.

"Also, that guy surnamed Kuang is not right. I think his footwork is correct and he has some skills. I will deal with him myself later, and the other three will be left to you." Master Zhao ordered.

"Three?" The square-faced martial artist was stunned.

The martial artist surnamed Zhao raised his chin towards the groom who was feeding the horses not far away, "And him, he has driven for these guests before, it is possible that he has not heard some news, we can't keep him."

"This..." The bare-chested martial artist was stunned for a moment, his face a little embarrassed, "Boss Zhao, he is just a coachman, what can he know, besides, those guests can't tell him their secrets."

"Yes, yes, this... This old Wu is also an old man in the mansion, he has always been honest and dutiful. When my mother was sick, I was on duty and couldn't go out for a few days, so I asked him to come. He bought some herbs and sent them to my mother. "

The other three martial artists were helping the coachman to say good things, but the martial artist surnamed Zhao grinned and said indifferently: "Okay, anyway, the master will reward 200 taels of silver for this matter. If there is one more person, we will get more silver. Originally, each of us brothers got 50 taels, and now with Old Wu, each of us gets 40 taels."

"There is such a thing!" The square-faced martial artist's face changed, "Then don't blame our brothers for their sharp swords."

"Kill him, just so that they can have a companion on the road to the underworld!" The bare-chested martial artist had a fierce look in his eyes, and the remaining one also agreed.

"Hey, hey, here they come!"

Seeing three figures coming out of the woods in the distance, walking towards the carriage, the martial artist surnamed Zhao was delighted and stood up in a hurry, "Get ready, follow my instructions!"

When the people approached, the martial artist surnamed Zhao put on his flattering face again, trotting forward and bowing: "Three lucky guests, how is it going?"

"Hey, I encountered a little trouble." Yang Xiao waved his hand impatiently, sat down, and panted heavily as if he was exhausted.

And Su Tingting also knew that her acting skills were not as good as Yang Xiao's, so she used the excuse of dizziness to get on her own carriage to rest first.

Hearing that the work was not done, the martial artist surnamed Zhao stabbed Yang Xiao dozens of times in his heart, but he still smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, you see we are now..."

"Let's go to Crouching Tiger Village."

After a brief rest, the group headed towards Crouching Tiger Village. This time, Yang Xiao lifted the curtain of the carriage, while looking at the scenery, he talked to the old coachman who drove them to Laoniuwan Wharf before, and they were familiar with each other.

After talking about random things for a while, Yang Xiao brought out the main topic, "Brother Wu, your second young lady is really pretty, is she also from the town?"

"You mean the second young lady, she is not from here, I don't know where exactly she is from, but she is also from a wealthy family, but later her family fell into decline, the master and the second young lady's family are old friends, the master is kind, so he brought the second young lady here."

"Master Feng is really kind!" Yang Xiao sighed, and then changed the subject, "By the way, when did the second young lady enter the mansion?"

This time the groom thought for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Oh, I really don't know this, the second young lady never goes out of the main door or the second door in the mansion, ordinary people can't see her at all, but...but it's been a long time, at least 7 or 8 years, by the way, I once heard Rong Ma, the cook in the mansion, say that the second young lady was infected with madness when she was a child, and she has been locked up in the mansion for treatment, so the master didn't let her out to see people."
