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

Chapter 25
Shen Lingxi's question made Magpie startled.

Magpie knew very well that if she continued like this, she would definitely see more flaws, so she turned her head and floated away.

Liu Si scratched his head, "On weekdays, I have done things for several masters, no matter what it is, I can't think of anything special at the moment."

"Your life is at stake. You should think about it. Aunt Zhao should also have a share in this job, otherwise they won't harm you, but will also harm her." Shen Lingxi reminded.

Liu Si nodded again and again, but scratching his head and scratching his head, he really couldn't remember for a while.

"If you can't do it, you can go back to the house, maybe you can remember it after looking at the familiar environment, and find out where the magpie's body is." Shen Lingxi instructed.

Liu Si responded and floated towards the capital.

*
In the main hall, after Shen Lingxi went out, Chu Yan also went out with Chunjun.

The two came to the open space behind Fu'an Hall, and Chu Yan saw Shen Lingxi sitting on a stone in the field from a distance, as if talking to someone, but there was clearly nothing opposite her.

His black pupils darkened slightly, "Gu asked you to check her past, how did it go?"

Chun Jun: "Back then, Xuan Pinghou's original wife, An Shi, had dystocia and was sent to the Temple of Longevity. A dead baby was born in the Temple of Longevity. In order to preserve the reputation of the first doctor in the capital, the temple owner secretly replaced the baby girl with a live one. Throw the dead one into the coffin, and later by coincidence, it was picked up by the old man Shen in the coffin shop, and suddenly came back to life and was raised to grow up."

"...Before I was 13 years old, I was always foolish and foolish. Five years ago, I accidentally fell off a cliff and my head was bleeding. After I was rescued, I suddenly became enlightened."

Hearing this, Chu Yan looked up thoughtfully, "Five years ago?"

"Yes, five years ago." Chunjun said with certainty: "People in the village remember it very clearly, saying that she burned for five days and five nights, and died for a while. Old Man Shen carried her into the coffin and guarded her all night. He came back to life."

Chu Yan never believed that there were strange things in this world.

But the handwriting that Shen Lingxi threw into the brush washer just now, the strength and skill of the handwriting, obviously cannot be cultivated in three to five years.

Seeing that he was silent, Chunjun continued to report:
"After she got well, she learned how to embalm corpses from old man Shen, and did funeral work for others. She also worshiped the late Xuanqing female crown of Jinxianguan as her teacher, and learned Taoism for two years..."

"Four months ago, Old Man Shen's son went out to do some shopping. He was driving on a rainy night. The carriage overturned into a valley, and he fell to his death on the spot. The old man wrote to the ancestors of the Xuanping Hou Mansion, revealing Shen Lingxi's identity, and Shen Ji delayed taking Shen Lingxi back to the mansion until after his youngest daughter married Li Anlin. "

Chu Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, "What is the relationship between Shen Lingxi and Yaoniang, can you find it?"

"It doesn't matter, the only intersection is that Yaoniang's body is stored in Fu'an Hall."

Chun Jun looked puzzled, "It's strange here, Yao Niang went to Beijing alone at the beginning, and she never went out of the house in Qinghua Lane. Apart from Li's mother and son, the only person she knew was Aunt Zheng next door. Aunt Zheng has never met Shen Lingxi, but after Li Anlin's accident, Shen Lingxi gave her money, and said that she would give her a pension in Yaoniang's name."

These words reminded Chu Yan that last night he saw Shen Lingxi handing over the banknotes won by the gambling house to Liu Si's widow.

"Did Liu Si know her before he was alive?"

"I don't know her either. When she was taken back to the mansion, Liu Si was already dead."

This is very strange.

For the first time, Chu Yan's sharp eyes were stained with confusion.

Chunjun: "Some people say that because Shen Lingxi died once, she may be able to see things that others cannot..."

Chu Yan glanced at him with a very indifferent expression, "A human body is the last evidence left in this world by a person who died unjustly. It is not uncommon for someone who knows how to perform an autopsy to find details that ordinary people cannot. It wasn't Shen Lingxi five years ago, you send someone to go to Yunjiang to find out if there is a corpse puppet technique that doesn't need a mechanism in this world."

"Your Highness suspects that she is a remnant of the Yun Kingdom, sneaking into our court?" Chunjun asked thoughtfully.

"Don't you forget what happened five years ago." Chu Yan's expression turned cold, and his murderous intent could not be concealed, and he said coldly: "An ambitious person would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go."

After he reminded him like this, Chun Jun's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly responded.

Chunjun thought of something, and said again: "Yao Niang is from Sucheng, and she is also a embroiderer. I went to ask Eunuch Li. Coincidentally, Eunuch Li said that he was looking for the empress dowager in Sucheng last year. The embroidery pattern of the shroud was embroidered by an embroiderer named Yaoniang...it should be the same person. Unfortunately, now that Yaoniang is dead, she is the only one who can embroider the embroidery pattern. This embroidery skill is lost after all. Let's put it in The reward of a thousand gold in the Heming Tower..."

"Let's put it aside for now, maybe we can find someone who knows how to embroider it."

As Chu Yan said, he raised his eyes and saw Shen Lingxi turning around towards them, and winked at Chunjun, and the two returned to the main hall one after the other.

When Shen Lingxi returned to the main hall, Mu Huai'an's interrogation of Feng Qi had reached a stalemate.

Feng Qi firmly insisted that he and Liu Si couple had quarrels during their lifetime, that's why he hit them so cruelly.

But how can Mu Huai'an be fooled, "Just now I specially asked Aunt Zhao to walk in front of you, but you didn't recognize her, so it can be seen that you don't know her at all. If you don't know her, how can you have a relationship with her?" Enmity? It's not real!"

Feng Qi shivered, his white lips trembled for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

Shen Lingxi looked at him thoughtfully.

Since the soul of the magpie followed him, he probably knew about the death of the magpie.

It's all up to this point, the normal logic should be to spit out the magpie, the "master behind the scenes", and lead Dali Temple to investigate.

But Feng Qi was still stubborn.

He glanced at the sky outside from time to time, obviously deliberately delaying time.

It was almost dusk at this time.

At this time, delaying time, what does he want to do?
Shen Lingxi had a faint guess in her mind.

But all her sources of information were learned from the mouths of dead souls, so she couldn't tell.There is no evidence for the inference in my heart, so I can't tell others bluntly.

She pondered for a while, took out three copper coins from her sleeve, and threw them in front of Feng Qi.

The crisp sound of the copper coin "clinking" on the ground instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Huh..." Shen Lingxi walked up to Feng Qi, looked at the copper coins on the ground, and suddenly exclaimed.

"Mr. Feng, just now I saw that your seal was black, so I made a divination for you." She pointed to the copper coins on the ground, her face was full of sincerity, "Look, in this divination, there are ghosts demanding their lives, disasters, and disasters." If you want to escape this disaster, you must tell Mu Shaoqing the truth immediately."

Although Feng Qi couldn't understand the hexagrams, he could understand that the little girl in front of him was trying to trick him.

There was a trace of mockery in his eyes, but he seemed to believe her words on his face, he was very anxious, "But what the villain should say, I have already said everything, it is all the truth..."

"Could it be that I made a mistake?" Shen Lingxi's clear apricot eyes froze for a moment.

Immediately, she picked up the copper coins from the ground, turned around and took a pen and paper and cinnabar from the table, spread the paper in front of Feng Qi, and sat down directly opposite him...
