Chapter 36 Witchcraft
The news that Huo Jiuge had seen a ghost spread quickly. Early the next morning, Mr. Huo learned from the housekeeper what happened last night.

After hearing this, the old man was shocked and immediately called them over for questioning.

Huo Jiuge, who had been working hard all night, almost waited until dawn before falling asleep. Therefore, when she was summoned by the old man, her face was haggard because she had not had a good rest, which made her originally young face look haggard. Partially morbid.

When the old man saw her, her small face became a little thinner, and her eyes were dull. The old man felt distressed when he saw her. It was hard to believe how she had been able to hold on these past few days.

"Don't be afraid, kid. With grandpa here, no one dares to do anything to you." He comforted Huo Jiuge and asked her to tell her exactly what she had seen before.

Perhaps this was the first time that he spoke to him with this attitude. Huo Jiuge's nose ached when he heard it, and then he said everything he had dreamed about.

"I dreamed about my parents. My dad said he was cold. My mom asked me to find someone with a snake tattoo on his hand." Huo Jiuge looked frightened and his voice was soft. Glutinous.

While the old man was questioning Huo Jiuge, someone came running over in a hurry from the other side.

"Black Panther, I found it." This person was the boy beside the old man, and the black panther he mentioned was a dog raised in the house.

When the old man was young, there was a fire at home. A dog risked his life to save him from the fire, where he was unconscious. From then on, Mr. Huo regarded dogs as sacred objects.

The black panther mentioned by the servants was a gift specially prepared for Huo Jiuge by his brother Huo Chengqi on his 60th birthday. The black panther is a unique dog from Beidi. It is all black and has a ferocious face. Very strong combat and attack power.

It can often be seen when the two armies are fighting.

This kind of black panther was Huo Chengqi's winning dog in a battle. Originally this kind of dog was the most unruly, but it became extremely obedient in his hands.

Knowing that his grandfather liked to raise dogs, Huo Chengqi trained this kind of dog and gave it to Mr. Huo as a birthday gift.

In addition to being a birthday gift, this dog was also a symbol of the Huo family's glory. In the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty, other than his own, not even the royal family could find another dog.

Mr. Huo loves dogs, especially this dog named Black Panther.

But this dog suddenly disappeared a few days ago. No matter how he looked for it, there was no news. Today it suddenly appeared. Mr. Huo was overjoyed and hurriedly asked someone to bring it over.

"The black panther was found, but...but" the other party swallowed back the words he was about to say several times.

Mr. Huo looked at the boy who was hesitant to speak, and then glanced at the thin Huo Jiuge, thinking that there was something involved.

He lowered his face and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"You, you should go and see for yourself." The boy looked embarrassed. They found the black panther in Guangling Hall. When they found it, they saw it lying in a pit.

Guangling Hall is the courtyard where General Huo Xin lived during his lifetime. Since the death of him and his wife, the courtyard has been empty.

What frightened them was that they found something in the pit where the black panther lay.

When Mr. Huo walked over, they took out the things in the pit for him to see.

The moment he saw that thing, the old man's eyes went dark. Amid everyone's screams of surprise, he fell heavily to the ground. When he opened his eyes, he saw his granddaughter giving him an injection.He suffered from cerebral vascular blockage due to sudden emotional excitement. Fortunately, Huo Jiuge arrived in time, otherwise his situation would have been very dangerous.

But compared to Huo Jiuge's medical skills, he was more concerned about the two scarecrows with the birthdays of his son and daughter-in-law written on them.

"What is this? Where did you find it?" In addition to writing their birthdays and horoscopes on the scarecrow, the body was also covered with steel needles, and the vital points were pierced everywhere.

The art of witchcraft has always been forbidden, but now it appears openly in his house. Looking at the black and rotten scarecrow, I can't imagine how long this kind of thing has existed.

If this matter spreads, it is estimated that the entire Rongguo Palace will suffer.

Seeing that the matter was serious, the servants did not dare to hide anything, "Sir, we found this in the hole dug by the black panther, and it is in the courtyard of Guangling Hall."

Listening to his words, the old man almost fainted again, but Huo Jiuge called him in time.

"The person who can put such evil things in his house must hate the Rongguo Duke's house and his parents!" Huo Jiuge looked at the two scarecrows and gritted his teeth, his eyes like a ball of fire. Jumping.

No one would remain calm in this situation, especially when it was related to the death of his parents.

Mr. Huo immediately called everyone in the house to the main hall for questioning.

Because Mrs. Qin was caught in the rain last night, she had already developed a high fever when she returned to her yard, but when she received the old man's order, she did not dare to delay.

Everyone gathered together, including Huo Ren's aunts and children. Some of them even seemed unfamiliar to Huo Jiuge. That was because Mr. Huo was very particular about the distinction between concubine and concubine, and the distinction between superior and inferior, except for some important matters. He rarely meets other people outside of special occasions.

So when he ordered everyone to come over, everyone was shocked and thought something important had happened in the mansion.

The Huo family was originally a small family in Cangzhou. It relied on the efforts of their ancestors to squeeze into this prosperous capital city. It took two generations of hard work to achieve today's achievements. Among them, it was Huo who was awarded the title of Marquis for his military exploits. General Xinhuo.

Now it is discovered that someone is deliberately using witchcraft. Why is this old man not angry?Especially combined with Huo Jiuge's dream, he became even more convinced that the death of Huo Xin and his wife was not an accident.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, he asked someone to take out the things.

At first, everyone didn't know what he meant, but when they saw the two scarecrows, everyone was shocked.

The timid ones immediately cried out of fright; some people standing behind couldn't see clearly and even stood on tiptoes to get closer; some people quickly covered their children's eyes with their hands.

"Mom, what are you doing? I want to see!" The young Huo Changqi was fluttering in his mother's arms, saying he wanted to see what it was.

"Be good, be obedient! Stop making trouble." Third Yiniang was coaxing him patiently.

But the child was very noisy. The more he was told not to do something, the more he did it. Third Yiniang couldn't make trouble with him, so she had to let him go. But when he saw something on the ground as he wished, he was so frightened. He didn't dare to say anything, so he could only hug his mother for comfort.
