"This, this..."
When Jiang Changkong asked, cold sweat broke out on Li Quan's forehead.
It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but the head of the family, Li Jinnan, won't let him say it.
Zhang Hu suddenly felt something in his heart and said thoughtfully: "This place...could it be related to your eldest lady?"
Li Quan's expression changed, "No, it's nothing."
When Jiang Changkong saw this, he immediately knew that Zhang Hu was probably right about what he had guessed.
"what happened?"
Jiang Changkong asked Zhang Hu.
"My lord, some time ago, I heard that the eldest wife of the Li family and her daughter died suddenly of a serious disease. Now it seems that the situation may not be what the Li family said to the outside world."
Zhang Hu said.
Having said this, he looked at Li Quan and shouted: "Tell me! Did the eldest lady and her daughter not contract the disease? It was you who killed them!"
Li Quan was startled and fell to his knees with a plop, "Sir, this is unfair! The eldest lady and eldest lady are, are..."
"What is it?"
Zhang Hu glared and shouted.
"Yes, yes..." Li Quan was heartbroken and finally said it out, "They jumped into the well and died by themselves!"
Throw yourself into a well?
Jiang Changkong glanced at the well, turned to Li Quan and asked, "Why? Was it forced by the head of your family?"
Li Quan had tears in his eyes and shook his head, "No, the master of the house does not. The master of the house has a very good relationship with his wife and young lady. How could they force him? They couldn't think of jumping into the well themselves."
"Can't think about it?" Jiang Changkong squinted at Li Quan who suddenly shed tears, "Are you...sure you can't think about it?"
Li Quan nodded and said seriously: "I'm sure, villain!"
Jiang Changkong was slightly surprised to see Li Quan so sure.
"Tell me, why can't they think about it?"
"They have been suffering from depression for a long time. The specific reason... neither the villain nor the owner of the family know. They only know that they did not want to eat or drink, and eventually they both jumped into the well and died."
Depression?
Jiang Changkong's eyes flashed, and it seemed that things were more complicated than he imagined.
"Get up."
"Thank you, sir."
Li Quan stood up.
Jiang Changkong glanced at the well, thoughtfully.
"Zhang Hu."
"exist."
"Let's stay in Li's Mansion and check the situation in the evening."
"yes!"
Li Quan quickly led the two of them to the living room and ordered them to serve tea.
Then walked out.
After a while, Li Jinnan came over. When he saw Jiang Changkong, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master Jiang, have you discovered anything?"
Jiang Changkong didn't hide anything, and said, "There is a problem with the well in the backyard."
Hearing that there was a problem with the well, Li Jinnan's expression changed, and then he sighed deeply and said, "Just leave, what's the point of lingering?"
Jiang Changkong has been paying attention to Li Jinnan's expression.
Obviously, Li Quan must have told Li Jinnan what happened in the backyard just now, so Li Jinnan wouldn't be too surprised.
He remained calm and said in a calm tone: "Master Li, please sit down. Can you tell me about the eldest lady and your daughter?"
Li Jinnan sat down and sighed: "There's nothing to say. The two of them are suffering from depression and can't think about it. They are looking for life and death every day or two. They can't stop looking at it, so... well, the door of the house It's unfortunate."
When he said this, Li Jinnan's eyes turned red and his tone seemed helpless.
Just like what Li Quan said... Although Jiang Changkong was willing to believe what they said, he knew that things would never be that simple.
Jiang Changkong did not ask any further questions.
It was night in a blink of an eye.
Li Jinnan's second wife still didn't wake up, her face was getting darker and darker, her body temperature was getting lower and lower, and she seemed to be leaving at any time.
By this time, Li Jinnan finally started to worry.
As anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
But it was useless no matter how anxious she was, the second lady showed no signs of waking up.
He had no choice but to pin his hopes on Jiang Changkong, hoping that Jiang Changkong could solve the mystery and make his wife wake up.
Jiang Changkong did not go to the backyard, but came to the place where the eldest lady and her daughter had lived.
Before coming to the room, he said to Zhang Hu: "You are outside, I will wait in the room alone."
Zhang Hu said quickly: "Sir, how about I accompany you, so that we can both take care of you."
Jiang Changkong shook his head: "No, it's more convenient for me to be alone, and you can also protect Li Jinnan's family outside."
"Should we call Zhao Long and the others?" Zhang Hu asked.
"Need not."
Jiang Changkong said.
Although no ghost figure was found on Widow Wang’s body, Widow Wang’s death has been determined to be related to something strange.
Let Zhao Long and Wang Dazhuang watch at Widow Wang's house to prevent Widow Wang's body from mutating.
After the arrangements were made, Jiang Changkong walked into the room and found a stool to sit in the middle of the room.
It was late at night in a blink of an eye.
The moon is high.
The moonlight shines through the window lattice onto the dressing table in front of the window.
The bronze mirror on the dressing table glowed slightly.
In the room where there was no movement at first, black energy suddenly billowed.
Jiang Changkong, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like a sword.
coming!
As the turbulent black air rolled, a woman wearing a full funeral attire appeared in the black air, her feet lifted off the ground, and she was suspended in mid-air.
The woman's face was covered with thick white powder and she looked to be in her thirties. From the outline of her facial features, it could be seen that she must have been very handsome in life.
Immediately afterwards, under the rolling black energy, a girl walked out from behind the woman.
The girl's eyes were empty and her mouth was bleeding. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. Like the woman, she was also wearing thick funeral clothes and her face was smeared with thick white powder.
Even so, the beauty of the girl in life can still be seen from the matching of facial features.
But what surprised Jiang Changkong was not the appearance of the two women, but a baby evil spirit that was covered in blood and looked like a red-skinned monkey in the girl's hand.
The baby evil spirit has ferocious eyes, a mouth full of fangs, bent limbs, and very long fingernails that are jet black, like a black sharp blade.
Seeing Jiang Changkong, the baby evil spirit's blood-red eyes were full of malice, drool was drooling from the corners of its mouth, and it seemed to devour Jiang Changkong with its fangs and claws.
But the girl was holding his arm tightly, and her fingers had already been pinched into the evil spirit's arm.
The evil spirit bared its teeth and angrily bit the girl's arm, tearing off the flesh on her arm and exposing the bones.
But the girl didn't seem to notice, her hand still firmly grasped the evil spirit's arm, unwavering.
When the girl saw Jiang Changkong, her empty eyes suddenly lit up and she blurted out: "What a handsome young man!"
However, the voice was hoarse and harsh, as if he was rubbing a shovel on the cement floor.
The girl frowned after saying this. She was obviously dissatisfied with the sound of her voice, and even felt a little irritated because of it. The black energy behind her was rolling endlessly.
She turned to look at the middle-aged woman, with a ferocious expression on her face, and asked hoarsely: "Mom, can't I change my voice?"
The middle-aged woman in fine clothes touched the girl's head lovingly and said gently: "Be good, I won't, I will change back. When the time comes, you will be as nice as a lark."
The two of them were talking to themselves and didn't seem to care about Jiang Changkong at all.
But the evil spirit kept trying to break free from the girl's hand, baring its teeth and claws at Jiang Changkong, screaming with malice.
The girl turned to look at the evil spirit with anger on her face, but strangely, she did not take any further action and turned to look at Jiang Changkong.
"Who are you? Why are you here? Are you here to kill us?"
The girl asked three questions in a row.
Seeing the strange appearance of these two people, Jiang Changkong could easily guess that Li Jinnan was the eldest lady and her daughter.
The only thing that I can't figure out is the evil spirit in the girl's hands.
He sat on the stool without getting up, and said with a smile: "My name is Jiang Changkong, Black Armed Guard of the Demon Suppression Division. I am not here to kill you, but to help you."
"Help us?"
The girl blinked her eyes, then tilted her head and said, "Then how are you going to help us?"
It seemed that Jiang Changkong didn't believe what he said.
"Help you enter reincarnation so that you don't stay in this world and become a lonely ghost." Jiang Changkong said.
As soon as these words came out, both the eldest lady and the girl's expressions changed, becoming extremely angry, and black energy surged all over their bodies, billowing in all directions.
"Don't even think about it! We will never leave until Guan Yubiao dies!"
The eldest lady screamed angrily.
Guan Yubiao? The second young master of the Guan family?
Jiang Changkong was slightly startled.
He didn't expect that this matter was related to the Guan family.
"Tell me about this Guan Yubiao."
Jiang Changkong said.
When Guan Yubiao was mentioned, the eldest lady became extremely angry and irritable. She could not listen to Jiang Changkong's words at all. Her whole body began to deform, and her mouth turned into a huge black hole that seemed to swallow everything.
But the girl tilted her head and stared blankly at Jiang Changkong, seemingly not being too affected by her mother.
She grabbed the eldest lady who was about to go berserk.
Although the eldest lady was deformed and became extremely irritable, she was caught by her daughter and did not resist.
"Do you really want to hear it?"
The girl's hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded.
"Yeah." Jiang Changkong nodded.
"If I tell you, sir, will you avenge us?" The girl blinked, her face full of expectation.
"If you have grievances, I will naturally redress your grievances." Jiang Changkong said.
"You... are so good-looking," the girl hesitated and said, "You shouldn't lie to me, right?"
Jiang Changkong was speechless.
Whether you lie or not has nothing to do with whether you look good or not.
He shook his head and said, "No."
"Then...okay." The girl finally seemed to believe Jiang Changkong because he was good-looking.
"This starts from...five years ago..."
It's a pity that many of the girl's memories have been fragmented, and she only remembers some things that are very important or unforgettable to her.
As the girl continued to talk intermittently, Jiang Changkong finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
It turned out that Guan Yubiao, who was already thirty years old five years ago, took a fancy to the wife and daughter of businessman Li Jinnan. Even though Li Jinnan's daughter was less than eleven years old at the time, she could not escape his vicious hands, and this occupation lasted for five years. Year.
Not only that, but Li Jinnan was also required to pay 50 taels of silver every month, which made Li Jinnan's already low-profit business even worse, making it almost difficult to make ends meet.
After long-term occupation, he became extremely perverted.
The daughter finally couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.
The eldest lady also committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.
But the girl was still pregnant, and a strange evil baby formed after her death.
Because the obsession is too deep, he has become a weirdo, lingering in the world and unwilling to leave.
Only then did Jiang Changkong understand why the furniture in the Li family was all old furniture from many years ago, and even the quilts had patches.
The scars on the second lady’s face seemed to have an explanation.
If I guessed correctly, he was worried that Guan Yubiao, a beast inferior to a pig or a dog, would fall in love with the Second Lady.
Whether that is the case or not, you will know later if you ask later.
"Bullying men and dominating women, he has done many evil deeds... This Guan Yubiao really deserves to die!"
A faint murderous intention flashed through Jiang Changkong's heart.
From the time when I started to practice the "Sword Code", it was stated in the "Sword Code" that "to practice swordsmanship, one needs to be upright, fearless, and move forward indomitably."
At that time, Jiang Changkong could not fully understand.
But when he returned home and killed Weiyi, he helped Yu Niang tide over the difficulties, and obtained energy points after killing Jiang Yiqiang and the blind mother-in-law.
From then on, Jiang Changkong vaguely understood that the swordsmanship he was required to practice in the "Sword Code" was actually about practicing righteousness.
Whether that was the case, he wasn't entirely sure.
Now there is an opportunity to verify it.
