The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 884 Doubt
Xie House.

mourning hall.

Xie Zhifei fell down, startling Xie Erli and Xie Buhuo beside him.

"The third one?"

"Third brother?"

The two of them helped the person up, one on the left and the other on the right.

Xie Erli touched Lao San's forehead and shouted hurriedly: "Little Master Pei, call your father quickly, Lao San has a fever."

Pei Xiao was helping outside the yard, glanced at Huang Qi, and rushed into the mourning hall.

"Brother, let Xie Shifu go back to his room and rest for a while. This day and night is too much for even an iron man."

"This..." Xie Erli hesitated.

There are only three grandchildren left in the Xie family. When the condolences guests saw that there were so few people in the mourning hall, they would gossip.

"Thank you, brother, take care of the living first!"

Pei Xiao yelled at Manager Xie standing aside, "What are you still doing? You hold the left hand, and I'll hold the right."

"Yes!"

The two of them helped the person into the inner room, one on the left and the other on the right.

Xie Zhifei lay on the bamboo couch and was fed a cup of cold tea, which made him feel a little relieved.

"I just... seemed like my soul was not in me."

As soon as my vision went dark, I fell down feeling dizzy and dizzy. I could hear what everyone around me was saying, but my body couldn't move or speak.

"Hey!"

Xie Xiaohua patted her thigh and said, "Third Master's birthday is coming soon."

Pei Xiao came to his senses after being reminded like this.

This month is the ghost month. Xie Zhifei is a ghost fetus, and the ghost fetus has a shallow soul. On July [-]th, it is time to recite sutras, pray for blessings, and suppress the soul.

"Xie Xiaohua, although your master and ancestors are no longer here, we still need to take care of the things that need to be done."

He said with a straight face: "I will make arrangements for the monks and Taoists, and I will leave the affairs of the house to you."

"Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I will handle it as smoothly as in previous years."

Pei Xiao lowered his head and looked at Xie Zhifei with a distressed look on his face: "You have a lot of things to do this year and your health is not good. I will ask those monks and Taoists to pray for you for one more hour."

Xie Zhifei: "Can you also say a few thoughts for Yan Sanhe?"

Pei Xiao was just about to say what's the use of reading to her, when he suddenly thought that Yan Sanhe's birthday was also July [-]th, and suddenly thought of the incense stick that had only burned a little bit...

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

"Don't talk to her about what happened just now."

"I'm so busy with my own affairs, how can I have time to talk to her about this?"

Pei Xiao touched Xie Zhifei here and there, and then he felt relieved when everything was fine.

"You give me two hours of rest, and I'll keep an eye on the other side of the mourning hall."

He felt uneasy when he reached the door. He tapped his finger at Xie Zhifei and said, "Remember, two hours."

"Xiaohua, call me in two hours."

"Don't worry, third master."

Xie Zhifei was really sleepy. While Xie Xiaohua was pouring a cup of tea, he fell asleep. He didn't know how long he had slept, but suddenly his foot fell on the ground and he woke up with a start.

I woke up feeling very restless, always feeling like something was about to happen.

"Little flower."

Xie Xiaohua heard the call and hurried in: "Why is Third Master awake?"

"Woke up with a start."

Xie Zhifei covered his eyes with his hands and said in a tired voice: "What Diamond Sutra is on Mr. Pei? Bring over this talisman and that talisman."

"What is it for?"

"Fix the soul."

……

Other courtyard.

bedroom.

Li Buyan saw Yan Sanhe breathing heavily and stared at him for a while before closing the door and leaving.

The sound of footsteps faded away, and Yan Sanhe slowly opened his eyes. As his eyes moved, he felt three cents colder than frost.

There seemed to be more and more doubts about the whole matter, and she had to sort it out one by one.One of the doubts:

Li Buyan talked about the assassination of Chunfeng Tower. Not only did the arrow miss, but she also saw the assassin's fleeing figure.

On the day Yan Xi was shot and killed, Zhu Qing and Li Buyan were in the house and they chased him out. It was excusable that they were a step late.

What about Shen Chong?
Where are the other two guards of the prince?

These three people were obviously guarding outside the courtyard.

With Shen Chong's ability, when an arrow was shot from a dark place and the arrow made a sound of breaking through the air, he could not only detect it immediately, but also identify the direction from which the arrow was shot.

When an assassin shoots an arrow, he must wait until the arrow pierces Yan Xi's heart before retracting his bow and leaving. If the arrow misses the hit, he may have to add another arrow to make up for it.

This waiting time is enough for Shen Chong to chase him out.

But he said he didn't even see anyone. Why?
Doubt [-]:

The large sum of money that Xie Daozhi used to bribe Yan Xi and make Yan Xi lie was not spent by Xie's father-in-law, nor by Xie Lao'er. Where did it come from?
Doubt Three:

Yan Xi was between Xie Daozhi and the prince. Why did he choose Xie Daozhi and betray the prince?

When the crown prince ascends the throne, he becomes the supreme king, and the world belongs to him. So how much bargaining chip does Xie Daozhi have to give to Yan Xi to take the risk of lying?
Doubt [-]:

After Xie Dao died, what about the dead soldiers he raised?
Are the dead soldiers trained at a huge price just let go?
Yan Sanhe's eyes slowly became empty.

Is there a possibility-

Xie Daozhi was the culprit who killed the Zheng family and General Zheng, but he was not the only one, but one of them?

Is there another person hiding behind him?

This person made Xie Daozhi willing to take all the blame on himself and die calmly?
Yan Sanhe thought about it and sat up suddenly, his face pale.

She was severely frightened by the thoughts inferred in her mind.

……

Duanmu Palace.

Prince Zhao Yishi took off his outer clothes, cleaned his hands in the basin, took the handkerchief from Wang Yin, wiped it, and sat in front of the desk.

Shen Chong pushed the door open and looked at Wang Yin coldly.

Wang Yin quickly closed the door and left.

"Your Highness, the Zheng family wall will be completed in three days. The Ministry of Rites sent someone today to ask, when does Your Highness plan to leave for the imperial mausoleum?"

Seeing Zhao Yishi frowning, he added, "How about I ask them to extend the three days to seven days?"

Zhao Yishi waved his hand, "No, it's just three days, and I'll leave after celebrating Chengyu's birthday."

Shen Chong: "I will prepare whatever birthday gift His Highness plans to give you this year."

Zhao Yishi smiled: "He's a very vulgar person, and all he needs is money."

Shen Chong: "Then...this year and last year are the same number?"

Zhao Yishi: "It's not easy for Chengyu this year, his salary has doubled."

Shen Chong: "Yes!"

Zhao Yishi picked up the tea cup and glanced at Shen Chong lightly, "What is Miss Yan doing these days?"

Shen Chong took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, Miss Yan went to the western suburbs today."

Zhao Yishi drank half a cup of tea in silence and said, "Shen Chong, do you know what kind of woman is the most annoying in the world?"

Shen Chong shook his head.

"One is too stupid, the other is too smart."

Zhao Yishi got up and walked slowly to the window.

The window was ajar, and a faint scent of osmanthus came to my face.

"When I was young, I was with the late emperor. The late emperor often said that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. Miss Yan is still a little too smart. Extreme wisdom will be damaged, and deep love will not last long. It is better to compromise in everything."

Shen Chong lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

After a long moment of silence, Zhao Yishi slowly turned around.

"Tell them that there is no need to fight for Xie Daozhi's vacancy in the cabinet. Everything is decided by His Majesty."

"Yes!"

"Miss Yan's side..."

Zhao Yishi hesitated for a while, "Let's watch from a distance first!"

"Yes!"
