The cause of cultivating immortals is on my shoulders, and my junior sister is the leader.

Chapter 18
The two of them were stopped as soon as they took a step.

"Wait a minute, you two, please stay!"

Madam Shu staggered a few steps in disbelief, stopped the two of them, and hurriedly followed the waiter to the backyard.

"what!"

There was a corpse lying in the weeds next to the well. It was indeed unrecognizable. The face was covered with long sword marks. The dried blood stains were stuck around the scars. The wet blood stains were still flowing down. It looked particularly terrifying. .

Shopkeeper Liu Haizhu was still wearing yesterday's clothes. He had a big hole in his chest and his heart was missing. The idea of ​​'the ghost king took the heart' once again enveloped everyone's minds.

"Husband! How could you...why did you leave me alone...wuwuwu...you are so cruel!"

Madam Shu held Liu Haizhu's hand with one hand, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, crying so hard that she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Song Qinghe and Zi Yusheng looked at each other and exchanged the same idea.

That means last night was a deliberate attempt to frame someone up!
"Husband! Wake up! Oooh...how can you bear it..."

"Shopkeeper...you died so miserably...wuwuwu..."

"Shopkeeper...the monthly payment hasn't been paid yet, why did you pass away?"

It was originally an extremely sad atmosphere. Lady Shu was devastated by the loss of her husband, and even the waiter who worked here all year round burst into tears, but the style of painting suddenly became a little different.

It actually delayed the payment of monthly payment!

"They were the ones who killed the shopkeeper! It was all him! She was with him!"

The waiter who discovered the body was crying and pointing at the two of them with determination on his face.

"This little brother, why do you say that we killed the shopkeeper?"

Song Qinghe blinked curiously and asked casually, standing in the outer circle observing the wounds and marks on shopkeeper Liu Haizhu's body.

On the other hand, Zi Yusheng had a cold face but did not rush to speak. There was only a coldness in her eyes, and her displeasure was all written on her face. She looked at this inconsistent scene with cold eyes like a woman.

A group of diners watching the excitement gathered behind them, whispering and talking.

The waiter who was asked about it the next second stood up and pointed at the two people with tears in his eyes and a look of sorrow on his face.

"When I got up last night, I happened to see the backyard through the window when I passed by the lobby... I saw with my own eyes the young master walking from the yard to the well with a sword, and I found him at the well early this morning. I found the shopkeeper’s body! It must be you!”

The waiter in the shop became more and more excited as he talked, looking at the two of them as if they were looking at devils, his hands pointing at them were trembling.

Lady Shu's eyes were red and swollen, with tears still hanging on her face. She slowly stood up and looked at Song Qinghe and their eyes changed.

What started out as admiration and politeness turned into doubt and disappointment.

"Master, I would like to ask you why you killed my shopkeeper. Is it because you were not allowed to stay in the inn yesterday? But this is human nature to protect others. How could you do this?"

Madam Shu was obviously a little angry, and her voice rose a few degrees.

The man being questioned looked at the scene in front of him with a blank look on his face, and he frowned and opened his mouth.

"I did go out last night, but it was just to chase the person pretending to be the Ghost King who escaped with serious injuries. During this time, I didn't see the shopkeeper on the road."

Zi Yusheng explained with some annoyance, feeling anxious for no reason. His eyes fell on Song Qinghe. He thought she would also be anxious and worried, but he only saw the woman looking at him with a good look on her face, and she suddenly became even more anxious.

The junior sister's illness cannot be delayed, but now she happens to be troubled by this kind of trouble again. She feels unhappy and dare not attack these ordinary people who have no power to restrain them!Suddenly I felt a little angry.

Listening to the man's explanation, the voices of whispers among the people became much louder, as if a cauldron had exploded.

"What! Someone is pretending to be the Ghost King! Is it real?"

"I think it's true, otherwise why didn't any of the four people selected last night die..."

"Not necessarily. How did the shopkeeper die? He was clearly not chosen last night, but now the shopkeeper was taken out of his core and died!"

As he spoke, he sighed sadly.

"I don't think what this man is telling the truth! Maybe he signed some kind of contract with the Ghost King. If I kill the shopkeeper, they won't have to die!"

"You have such a rich imagination. I think he killed the shopkeeper just to scare everyone!"

……

With the continuous barrage of words, the blame on Yusheng's body became bigger and bigger, and his body became darker and darker.

The shopkeeper's wife and the waiter seemed to be affected, and they looked at them with expressions of fear and disgust.

"The shopkeeper didn't make any mistakes at all. We were even soft-hearted and let you live in the backyard. How can you treat the shopkeeper now! We have no grievances against this young master, so you don't have to do this!"

Lady Shu looked at the two of them with indignation, her eyes full of regret.

"If I had known, I might as well have kicked you out last night! You pest!"

The waiter in the shop also started shouting, yelling excitedly. Looking at the man's increasingly cold face, he unconsciously took a few steps back.

"Ms. Shu, I really didn't kill the shopkeeper. The mistress said he just saw me walking that way, but that doesn't mean I killed him! Besides, I told you the truth this morning. You Now we can’t just listen to the waiter’s words!”

Zi Yusheng also spoke very fast. He was a little annoyed by the questioning and disdainful looks around him, and his tone became a little serious.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's wife, who had just lost her husband, was like an anxious rabbit, staring at the two of them with red eyes.

"Whether you are innocent or not, we will know when the Moon Gate comes to administer justice! You two should wait until the messenger from the Moon Gate comes to talk!"

Madam Shu wiped the tears on her face with an eggplant purple handkerchief, and looked at the two of them unmoved with a rare toughness.

"When we come to the Moon Gate, we will definitely find out the truth! Maybe we can also figure out the strange thing about the ghost king's heart-taking!"

"Yes, yes, we don't have to worry anymore when the Moon Gate comes!"

The interest of the people who crowded at the back door of the inn lobby to watch the excitement increased again, and they were all talking in supportive voices.

In this way, Song Qinghe and Zi Yusheng were locked up in the backyard again because of this incident.

In addition to them, there was also the corpse of the shopkeeper at the crime scene and a dozen servants guarding the back door of the lobby.

The customers were kicked away and 'temporarily closed' signs were hung outside.

"Moon Gate?"

Sitting in the adobe room with broken doors and windows, Song Qinghe chuckled and looked at Zi Yusheng casually.

I didn’t expect that I would be raped in my lifetime!
