All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 132
Dealing with the dead souls in Xiushui Village is not as easy as imagined. Some dead souls will not appear during the day and have to wait until night.

There were also those scattered souls floating around, Shen Lingxi had to personally lead them to Su Xian's magic circle in order to be saved.

After working so hard for two whole days and nights, all the dead souls in this village were cleaned up.

During this period, Chunjun and the embroidered clothes envoys looked at Master Su Jiu in a daze, constantly changing places, over and over again, throwing out his pile of "broken copper and rotten iron" magic weapons, the gods and gods Doing the same ritual.

And Shen Lingxi, who was also in the village, kept walking around, still muttering something, muttering something.

She ran east for a while, and ran west for a while.

When meeting Master Su Jiu, he was always cautious.

The two looked like they were fighting, but there was an unspeakable tacit understanding.

The scene is very weird and mysterious.

On the third day, a group of people headed back to Beijing on the road.

Su Xian didn't care that the Embroiderer detained him all the way to Beijing, instead he calmly sat in meditation on the prison car, without any intention of defending himself.

The old ancestor only said "don't care about this rebellious son" before, but within half a day, he floated back again.

Now, seeing Su Xian sitting in the prison car, the ancestors kept circling Su Xian's car.

When resting on the road, Shen Lingxi lifted the curtain of the car, just in time to see this scene, and secretly sighed.

In the end, the ancestor still couldn't let go of this son.

It's a pity that even if Su Xian really has the extraordinary ability of Taoism, he still can't see his mother who is close at hand.

"Old ancestor." Shen Lingxi called out softly.

Turning around the carriage, the old man floating in the air turned around.

"Girl." The spirit body of the old ancestor floated in front of her, with fine lines at the end of his eyes, but there were faint tears in his eyes.

"Tell Liu Lang that the person who hurt me is definitely not this traitor. Although he is obsessed with cultivating the Tao, he has a pure heart and will never harm me. I... I was just angry with him for a while, so stupid, I never told you ..."

"Don't worry, old ancestor. Your Highness knows that Su Jiuye is definitely not the murderer." Shen Lingxi comforted with a smile.

She didn't know why the old man was so anxious.

The souls circled around Su Xian's carriage and refused to leave, so it was because of this matter.

Sure enough, no matter how much he disliked this master Su Jiu in words, after all, he loved this young son very much.

The old ancestor was puzzled: "Since His Highness knows about it, why did he bring this rebellious son back to the capital for trial."

"Your Highness must have his intentions in doing this." Shen Lingxi tilted her head and thought for a while. Although Chu Yan never told her clearly, she already had a guess in her heart.

He looked solemn and indifferent.

But in fact, it is not as cold as outsiders think.

Thinking of this, the smiles in Shen Lingxi's eyes melted: "In short, the ancestor only needs to trust His Highness, and everything will be clear when he returns to the capital."

Wait until the brigade arrives in the capital.

Shen Lingxi originally thought that Chu Yan would probably bring Su Xian back to Beiya first.

But the convoy went all the way from Ximen to Beijing, heading for Wu'anbo Mansion in Anhua Lane.

*
"I'm back! Go and tell Uncle and Da Furen that His Royal Highness has brought Master Jiu back!"

"It was pulled back with a prison cart!"

Seeing the people approaching, the porter crawled into the mansion and notified the people who were guarding the spirit.

Last night, Wu Anbo and his two sons traveled day and night, just came back from the army, took off their armor, and stood guard in front of the ancestor's spirit.

Accompanied by the eldest lady and two daughters-in-law, they wept heartbroken.

But that's not too sad.

The grand-niece of the ancestor's own natal family, that is, Xie Shi, the second-granddaughter-in-law of the uncle's house, cried and fainted several times before the coffin.

The one who cried so heartbreakingly made people feel pitiful, and couldn't help crying.

Whoever sees her, don't say a word, the second grandma is filial.

Compared with her, the ninth master who was suddenly brought back by His Highness the grandson of the emperor today is a heartless person, which makes people feel very disgusted.

Shen Lingxi, with a simple and easy appearance, mixed into the embroidered clothes envoy, and was placed far away at the end, with the dead ancestor's soul next to her, entering Wu'anbo mansion together.

Together with them, Mu Huai'an and a few officials from the Dali Temple came.

In the past few days, Mu Huai'an has not been idle. In the name of helping his grandmother, he has been in and out of the uncle's mansion several times, and has found out all the people in the mansion. Taking advantage of the meeting time , and confessed to Chu Yan.

As soon as Chu Yan entered the mansion, he directly ordered the steward of Su's mansion to make room for a courtyard with a hall next to the mourning hall to detain and interrogate the suspect Su Xian.

As soon as Wu'an Bo Su Wei heard the news that his younger brother had been arrested, he rushed to greet him with his whole family.

He saw Su Xian wearing shackles on his hands and staggering, "Your Highness, what happened? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Before Chu Yan could speak, Su Xian was already solemn, and said lightly: "Brother, don't worry, Liu Lang is just a routine matter, temporarily detaining me as the murderer who killed my mother. When the matter is found out, he will immediately return my innocence and let me go." leave."

Shen Lingxi tsk-tsk looked at him, quite confident.

Wu An Bo Su Wei suddenly changed his face, and exclaimed: "Didn't my mother slip and fall to the rockery and died? How could she be killed by someone?"

It's no wonder that he had this question, Mu Huai'an and Chu Yan only saw the suspicious points at the crime scene before, and did not make a conclusion in public.

Chu Yan originally planned to follow the old ancestor's last wish and asked Su Xian to come forward to investigate.

Since he was unwilling, he simply tied up Su Xian and came to the house to "fish".

Chu Yan said bluntly: "The footprints of our ancestors on the rockery before they fell, and the location where they fell, are too far away from the edge of the cliff. They should have been pushed from behind and fell to their deaths."

Wu Anbo was taken aback.

Not only him, but even the two sons behind him, as well as the female relatives of the uncle's mansion, were all surprised.

"This, this, this..."

Wu Anbo's eyes fell on Su Xian's face, seeing his indifferent face, he resolutely defended, "There must be some misunderstanding, the ninth brother would never do such a thing."

Chu Yan glanced at Mu Huai'an.

Mu Huai'an stepped forward with his hands in his sleeves, and said slowly: "At noon that day, someone saw a man who looked like a cousin, leaving hurriedly through the corner gate of the uncle's residence."

"The servants of the mansion also testified that the old ancestor was kind to others during his lifetime, and only had a quarrel with his cousin. The mother and son have never been very good at each other, and they often had disputes about money. The ancestors were lenient."

He paused, and then said: "There is also the accountant in the mansion to testify. In the past two years alone, my cousin has advanced nearly 10 taels of money from the mansion's account. Not only that, we also found out that he was outside Put a lot of 'tiger skin money', if we speculate according to the usual cases, it is not ruled out that there are too many shortfalls, and the holes cannot be filled, and we are afraid that the ancestors will be held accountable, so we will make such a bad move."

As soon as Mu Huai'an said this, Su Xian, who had a calm expression just a moment ago and felt that he would "be innocent immediately", was stunned.

Wu Anbo and Su Wei were also dumbfounded.

Even the ancestor standing next to Shen Lingxi was dumbfounded...

　Tiger skin money is usury.
