Jiaochu

Chapter 168 Yangzhou Governor ([-])
While Yuan Luo was thinking about it, Ye Lingjue was not in a hurry to ask questions, but the people behind the screen couldn't hold themselves back. They whispered a few words quietly, and someone booed again, and there was no movement behind the screen.

Seeing that His Highness the Second Highness was calm and composed and did not explain a word, Yuan Luo pretended that he had not seen or heard, and continued what he had just said, "Master Hu heard this news, and his subordinates came to ask whether it was true or not. I never thought I got a rejection."

"If this news is false, does Mr. Tiger have any grudge against Chunfeng Tower?" Ye Lingjue said.

Yuan Luo replied: "I have never heard of any grudge between the two families. Perhaps Chunfeng Tower's good business has made others jealous."

Ye Lingjue pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, go and do your work."

After Yuan Luo left the room, the two figures hiding behind the screen came out.

There are two young masters, one big and one small, who are as beautiful as flowers. Their big eyes are as clear as water, and their big eyes are smart and cunning.

The older one is naturally Meng Jingxiu, and the younger one is Ye Lingxi.

"Master Yuan seems to be quite kind. Why do you call him King of Hell? It's so unpleasant." Meng Jingxiu expressed her opinion as soon as she walked out from behind the screen.

"Sister Jing'er thinks Master Yuan is good-looking, right?" Ye Lingxi revealed the little girl's thoughts with one word.

Meng Jingxiu refused to admit it, "Am I such a superficial person?!"

"No, no." Ye Lingxi said soothingly, "Sister Jing'er is both talented and beautiful, well-informed and intelligent, and has no one before or since."

"I think your little fox is unprecedented and unprecedented." Meng Jingxiu sneaked up to Ye Lingjue and said, "Your Highness, do you think sister Lingxi looks like a little fox?" Ye Lingjue smiled slightly and said nothing. Who do you want to help when you open your mouth?

"If I were a little fox, wouldn't my father be an old fox?" Ye Lingxi said.

Meng Jingxiu said hurriedly: "I didn't say that Uncle Huang is an old fox. You said it yourself."

"Master Yuan has gone in."

Ye Lingxi picked up the telescope and looked at the cockfighting ring opposite. After a while, she handed the telescope to Meng Jingxiu to look at.

After the door opened, a gust of draft swept over, and a few traces of the smell of blood mixed in the air floated over. It was not obvious, seemed to be there or not, and only those with a sensitive sense of smell could detect it.

There was no trace of living people in the whole building. Even in broad daylight, such an empty building still exuded a strange and terrifying atmosphere, and even the light shining into the building seemed a bit pale and eerie.

Yuan Luo asked two of his men to search the upstairs, leaving the two of them in the front lobby. He led them to the backyard. After passing through the door curtain, the smell of blood suddenly became stronger. It was obvious that the source of the smell was in In the backyard.

I saw more than a dozen dead chickens lying on the ground in the backyard. The chicken feathers were covered with blood. The chicken coop was also torn apart, as if it had been robbed by some ferocious beast.

Seeing such a weird and horrifying scene, ordinary people would have been scared and screamed and ran away.Yuan Luo observed the surroundings with vigilance, holding down the saber hanging on his waist with one hand, and his two men were also ready to draw their swords, and their steps became careful and cautious.To the east of the backyard is the kitchen. Opposite the kitchen is a small building, two stories high. The door is open, and the windows inside seem to be sealed. The light shining in from behind the door can only make people see what is behind the door. Within about a meter, only vague outlines could be discerned further in. The building looked very dark, giving off a strange and cold atmosphere.

Yuan Luo asked one of his men to stay outside, and he took another man into the building to check.

As expected, the windows inside were all nailed with wooden boards, not letting in a single ray of light. The smell of blood in the air was lighter than that in the yard outside, but there was a difference between the two. The one in the yard was chicken blood, and this one was. The blood in the building was human blood, and it also had an unpleasant fishy smell, like the smell left by the rotting internal organs of some kind of animal.

The light of Huozhezi lit up in the building. The only areas illuminated by the light were the walls and the floor. There was nothing else. The first floor was empty.

With a click, a wooden board nailed to the window was removed by Yuan Luo with his bare hands, and the iron nails embedded in the window lattice more than an inch deep were uprooted and thrown aside.

Light shines into the building through the gap, illuminating the fine dust floating in the air.

At this time, there was a sudden rustling movement on the second floor, as if something was disturbed by the sound of removing wooden boards just now, and then there was the sound of heavy and rapid footsteps, very fast.

Yuan Luo waved his hand, and the subordinate quickly moved to the door and gestured to his companions outside, who immediately guarded the entrance to the backyard.

Soon enough, I saw a black shadow rushing from the stairs, lying on all fours, like a ferocious beast, and roaring like a beast in its throat, but it was wearing human clothes and its hair was disheveled. His eyes flashed fiercely, looking extremely dangerous.

I don't know what cruel method was used to turn a living person into such a monster.

The monster rushed straight at Yuan Luo. It was extremely fast and agile, like an angry leopard. The bright light drew a semicircular arc in front of the monster. A drop of blood dripped down the tip of the knife onto the floor. At the same time, There was also a severed hand that landed on the ground. The hand was still curled like an eagle's talons, and the nails on it turned dark black, which looked weird and horrifying.

The blood spurting from the severed hand exuded an unpleasant fishy smell, as if the body had rotted inside.

With a shrill roar, the monster became even more furious and violent. It rushed towards Yuan Luo crazily, opening its mouth to bite out the opponent's throat. Its eyes also turned strangely red, and traces of sticky blood flowed down the corners of its eyes. , before he could throw himself in front of Yuan Luo, his body suddenly fell to the floor and became motionless. A piece of sticky blood flowed out from the seven orifices, and the building was filled with that unpleasant stench. Yuan Luo covered his mouth and nose first. Withdrew.

"Why haven't you come out yet? How about we go over and have a look."

Meng Jingxiu held up the telescope and looked from downstairs to upstairs, and then from upstairs to downstairs. When the light reflected by the mirror returned upstairs again, her face suddenly froze, as if she was startled. The next moment He quickly pulled Ye Lingxi and squatted under the window.

"Sister Jing'er, what's wrong?" Ye Lingxi asked quietly.

"Shh, there's someone upstairs opposite..." Meng Jingxiu hesitated for a while, then slowly squeezed out two words through her teeth, "There's a ghost." Ye Lingxi was about to poke her head out to take a look, but Meng Jingxiu reached out and pressed her down. She lowered her head and said, "I saw it just now. A black shadow floated past suddenly. It must not be a person." She pulled Ye Lingxi and quietly moved to Ye Lingjue's chair, and quietly told Ye Lingjue what she had just seen. Ling Jue said it again, and Ye Lingjue glanced out the window and asked the two of them to stay in the box while he went to take a look.

As soon as he stood up, a loud thud came from the building opposite, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.
