Mentioning this courtyard, Qiu Gui began to feel aggrieved for his young lady again.
"Obviously Miss is the eldest daughter of the Tao family, but because the master is partial to Aunt Zhao and the Second Miss, everything good in the house is closely guarded by them. Even the Tao Ranju where the Miss used to live was taken over by them..."
Tao Yaoyao carefully searched the memory of the original owner, and it seemed that there really was such a period.
At that time, Aunt Zhao found a sorcerer. Because Tao Yanyan was in poor health and Tao Ran's location was conducive to her recovery, she forced the original owner to give up the yard.
The original owner was generous and had nothing to do with her.
Before closing her eyes, she quickly thought of a plan.
On Tongbai Mountain, twenty miles away from the outskirts of Beijing, Xie Lan took Chang Geng into a thatched house. The moonlight was good tonight, and the house could be clearly illuminated without lighting candles.
A big, rough-looking man was tied to a stool in the back room. When he saw the person coming, the big man immediately howled, "King Dingbei, spare your life. I will never rob a good woman again."
"Sit down." Chang Geng lowered his sword to the man's neck, "If you want to survive, you must answer whatever my master asks you."
'good. When the man saw the knife, he immediately became panicked and said, "Young man must know everything." "
Upon seeing this, Chang Geng stepped aside with his sword. Xie Lan stepped forward and glanced at the room with squinted eyes before focusing on him.
"I heard that you got a batch of iron two days ago. Where did you get those things?"
When the man heard this, his expression changed drastically, "It's... a friend was anxious to take action and asked me for help. I don't know the specific matter."
"Really?" Xie Lan's deep eyes flashed with murderous intent. When the man saw this, he immediately panicked, "How dare you be so presumptuous in front of the prince..."
"Chaimu, what does this have to do with you?"
When the man heard this, his face turned even darker.
When he was about to deny it again, Chang Geng reminded him, "Since we can find you, it means that we have some evidence and let you say it yourself. We just want to give you a chance to live. If you don't want it, I will That will take care of you.”
Chang Geng once again faced him with swords. Seeing that he couldn't hide today, Hanzi hesitated.
Xie Lan and Chang Geng looked at each other, and when they were about to continue asking, a bright light came in from the window, and before they could recover, a sharp hidden weapon shot into the man's temple.
After the man fell, he lost his breath on the spot.
"who?"
Chang Geng and his men went out to chase him, but they were surrounded by people for miles around. Not even a single person was seen just now. Chang Geng and his men had nowhere to start. After thinking about it again and again, they finally returned to the woodshed.
"died."
After Xie Lan checked the man's pulse, he stood up with a dark look of displeasure.
It took his people nearly half a month to catch Mr. Liu, but now he was killed without anything coming out from the interrogation. She was killed in front of him, Xie Lan's face was very ugly.
"Master, that person should be far away from us. Our people didn't find any clues just now."
Xie Lan turned his head and glanced at Chang Geng without saying anything. He turned around and came to the yard. After looking up and looking around, a hint of annoyance flashed in his sinister eyes.
"The killer should be four kilometers away from us."
Four kilometers?
I'm afraid even the most powerful archers in the world can't kill him with one blow.
And he had never heard of such a capable person.
"Why not?" Xie Lan restrained his anger, took out the handkerchief and said as he walked down the mountain, "Jiu Qingzi in Peach Blossom Luo could have done it twenty years ago."
But Senior Jiu had gone into seclusion ten years ago, and there has been no news about him since then.
Wait a minute, the master means...
"Master, the boys found this at Master Liu's residence."
The guards who searched the house found a jade pendant. Xie Lan took it over and took a closer look, then sneered, "Tao family? It seems that I have a close relationship with this Tao family recently."
When the first ray of sunlight shone in in the morning, Tao Yaoyao woke up. While washing, the maid told her, "In the middle of the night, Aunt Zhao was afraid that people would scare the second lady again, so she hired a lot of guards to guard the ancestral hall. After the old lady found out about it early in the morning, the master also got scolded."
"Aunt Zhao is so stupid."
She had already avenged herself. If she didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, why would she go to the ancestral hall again?
Do you really think pretending to be a ghost is fun?
Her cheap dad usually seems to be quite smart, but why does his mind go crazy when he sees Aunt Zhao?
"Leave them alone." Tao Yaoyao called Guizhi, and after whispering in her ear for a while, Guizhi left the yard with an excited look on her face.
Shuixianju
"Mom, I can't swallow this breath. I don't care. You must find a way to get rid of this bad breath in me."
Tao Yanyan didn't sleep all night, and he was frightened again. Now his face looked scarier than a ghost. Aunt Zhao was worried about her health, so she coaxed her to drink the decoction and watched her fall asleep before leaving.
It's just that Aunt Zhao had only been back for half an hour when something happened again with Tao Yanyan.
"The second young lady insists that she has seen a ghost, and she won't listen to the servants no matter how they explain her. Now she has kicked all the servants out and locked herself in the room."
"I was worried that something might happen to the second lady, so I came to see you."
Where is the ghost in broad daylight?
What's wrong with this child? Could it be...
"Auntie, please don't scare yourself. Maybe the second lady is infected with the cold and is weak. This person will have nightmares when she is weak."
"It's not a nightmare. I can see clearly. It's just a ghost."
After Tao Yanyan heard Aunt Zhao's voice, her hair was disheveled and she ran out without even putting on her clothes and shoes. She hugged Aunt Zhao, trembling all over, and refused to let go no matter who tried to persuade her.
Aunt Zhao had never seen her like this before, and she was worried and distressed.
After the doctor came over to give Tao Yanyan acupuncture, she fell asleep peacefully. Aunt Zhao sat by the bed, still worried, "She is quiet now. What if she wakes up and still makes trouble?"
After working hard for most of the day, not to mention that Tao Yanyan was still sick, even a normal person like her was a little exhausted physically and mentally.
"The second lady really just had a cold, and after taking the medicine, the second lady's symptoms were significantly relieved. Logically speaking, such a thing shouldn't happen..."
After the doctor finished speaking, he thought of something and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhao asked anxiously, "Doctor, what have you thought of? As long as it is good, I will try any method."
The doctor pursed his lips, turned his head and looked around, then stepped forward and whispered, "Aunt Zhao, the doctor can't help you with ghosts and gods."
"Nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world."
This time, Aunt Zhao said she didn't believe it, but she actually started to waver in her heart. When the servants went to see the doctor off, she called the personal maid, "Go and find the Taoist priest to come over and exorcise the evil spirits for us."
"Auntie, Master's side..."
Tao Shi'an did not believe in ghosts and gods, and did not allow such things to be done at home. Many years ago, Aunt Zhao asked a Taoist priest to come to the house to open an altar to practice Tao Shi'an. That time, Tao Shi'an became so angry that Aunt Zhao coaxed him for a month. Coax well.
This time...
"Master, don't worry about it. Let's cure Yanyan first."
In just one night, her little face had lost a lot of weight. If she continued like this, she would become skinny and skinny. The third prince didn't like skinny and skinny women.
"Mother, don't be afraid. Mother is here."
Guizhi carefully told Tao Yaoyao the news she had learned. Tao Yaoyao complained while roasting sweet potatoes, "Do you think it is Tao Yanyan that Aunt Zhao cares about, or the position of the third prince's concubine?"
"I don't know, this slave." Guizhi shook his head.
"Yes, if you understand the thoughts of weird people, you wouldn't be weird." At this time, the sweet potatoes in the stove were roasted and fragrant. Tao Yaoyao took one and handed it to Guizhi, and then took another one for herself. eat.
"Winter has to be lived like this to be comfortable." When she was tearing the skin off, she raised her head and glanced at the sky. It was already this hour, why was there no news from Lu Yan?
"Miss, slave..." Guizhi didn't dare to eat with his master.
Tao Yaoyao frowned after seeing what she was thinking, "What, do you want to change your master?"
"This is not what I mean, slave." Guizhi was so frightened that she knelt on the ground.
Tao Yaoyao reached out and pulled her up, "Don't keep kneeling. Since you don't want to change your master, eat quickly. When you're full, wait until you go to the theater."
Aunt Zhao came back not long after she went out. Aunt Zhao happily took her servants to greet Tian Daochang, but when she came to the yard, she saw a strange man.
"First Master Tian left the capital yesterday. I heard that he will not be able to come back in the next few days. On the way back, I met this First Master Gui. It is said that he is the senior brother of First Master Tian, so I invited him over."
Mammy explained, "Second Miss's condition cannot be delayed, and the left and right Tian Yi Chang is not here. It is better to try with someone else. If it doesn't work, we will wait for Tian Yi Chang to come back and invite her again."
Aunt Zhao was indeed a little displeased at first, but knowing that she was doing it for Tao Yanyan's good, and that this method was indeed a good one, she nodded and agreed.
"Then you should quickly take people to prepare things."
While the two were talking, Chief Gui had already walked around the yard minding his own business. When Aunt Zhao came to find him, Chief Tian said several wonders in succession.
"Taoist Priest, is there something wrong?"
I don't know why, Aunt Zhao suddenly felt cold all over. Terrifying.
"There's something wrong with this courtyard." Chief Gui pointed to the octagonal pavilion opposite and said, "It doesn't really matter if this pavilion is built here alone, but if this pavilion is directly opposite the door of this house, it will be a feng shui evil. This kind of feng shui Evil will not only affect the minds and thoughts of people who live here, but over time it will also give rise to delusional thoughts."
"Delusion?"
"It's like seeing a ghost and asking someone to look at you."
After Chief Gui finished speaking, he thought of something and added, "Pindao remembers that your young lady has this symptom."
"Yes." Aunt Zhao thought about Tao Yanyan's situation today and asked, "But she was fine before, but this situation only happened today. If it was a feng shui problem like you said, why was everything fine before?"
"The donor doesn't know something. Everything must be done in a timely manner. If Pindao guessed correctly, this pavilion must have been built here not long ago.
Moreover, has your lady been sick these past two days? "
