The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

When Gu Mengyin opened her eyes again, it was already dawn outside.

She sat up and found Jingchen sitting on a chair nearby, meditating.

"Brother, wake up."

Jingchen opened his eyes and looked at her with a confused expression, "Is it dawn yet?"

Gu Mengyin raised her chin, "The sun is going to hit your butt."

Jingchen yawned, stood up and stretched again.

"I'm going to get some hot water to wash up and eat something before we leave."

"Wait a minute, last night I promised the head of this family to do something for them. Let's leave after the matter is done."

"What's going on?" Jingchen secretly ate steamed buns while he was boiling water in the kitchen yesterday. He was so absorbed in eating that he didn't notice what was going on here. He only knew that Gu Mengyin had fallen asleep when he came back.

"This whole family died unjustly. They came to me in the middle of the night last night and asked me to give them justice. I agreed."

Jingchen was puzzled, "Is it an injustice to die?"

"Well, they said they had a meal, but they were gone when they went to bed that night. I'm also curious as to why they were gone."

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them arrived at the mourning hall with steamed buns in their hands. The eight coffins were still neatly placed in the room.

Gu Mengyin chewed the steamed bun and looked at the corpse of the host. At first glance, it looked no different from those who died normally.

After she stuffed the last piece of steamed bun into her mouth, she opened the man's mouth and found that his teeth were black, even his gums were black.

She went to another coffin to check, opened their mouths and saw that their teeth and gums were all black.

"Poisoned." Jingchen also came over.

"Hey, what are you doing? Do you want to steal something? Thanks to my kindness, I took you in for one night. You still want to steal something. Go away quickly, or I will report you to the police."

The two of them turned around and saw the gatekeeper running over angrily.

"Uncle, you misunderstood. We weren't stealing anything. I just thought it was strange that this big family suddenly wasn't so tidy, so I wanted to see what was going on."

The uncle took them outside the mourning hall and said, "You two outsiders are in charge of so many things, so hurry up and leave. You can't control this matter."

Gu Mengyin and Jingchen exchanged a look. It seemed that this old man knew more than they thought.

"Uncle, when were you invited here to watch?"

The uncle said: "Didn't I say last night that this whole family was dead, and their distant relatives were afraid, so they gave me some money and asked me to come and guard them. As long as they had enough, they would be buried in seven days." "

"It will be buried in seven days. Hey, why does this sound familiar?" After Gu Mengyin finished speaking, she turned back to the mourning hall and brushed away the hair of one of the corpses to take a look. At a glance, she saw something stuck on the Tianling Cap. of a steel nail.

Judging from the size of the steel nails, they were at least as thick as her little finger.

"Good guy, it's the soul-locking needle."

"What? Soul-locking needle."

Jingchen came over and took a look, and it was true.

"What are you going to do? Let's go quickly. Don't cause any trouble. I can't bear to be blamed later."

The two walked out of the mourning hall.

"Uncle, I know, I know you were hired here with money. Those who don't know think you want to cover up something for the murderer. The death of this family is not normal. We will report it as soon as we leave here. Officer, when the officials come and ask, what are you going to say?"

The caretaker really regretted it. If he had known that these two people were so nosy, he shouldn't have let them stay overnight. "It's none of my business. Even if they died violently, but it wasn't me who killed them, can the government arrest me?"

"It's hard to tell. If the murderer is a powerful person... he has to find a scapegoat. We don't want to embarrass you, but we just want to ask if you know something. If you know, please tell us. We don't know. Harm you."

The uncle struggled for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "I really don't know much about this, but the day I came I felt a little strange. When I first came, those people had been making trouble in the mourning hall and even invited a mage. When I came here, I just thought that I was doing some spiritual salvation and didn't think much about it, but when the master left, I heard what his disciple said to him."

"At that time, his apprentice looked very unhappy and said that if he did this, he would be punished by God. He was afraid."

"The mage glared at him and said that they were not the ones who did the evil. They were just using money to help others eliminate disasters. Even if they were punished by God, they would not be punished."

The uncle is not a fool. Why did the master and the disciple say this for no reason? In other words, what they did in the mourning hall before was definitely not a transcendent ritual, but something to be punished by God.

"Which relative of this family was the person who asked you to come over and watch over them?"

The uncle shook his head, "I don't know, I just said they are relatives."

Gu Mengyin thought for a while and said, "Okay, we won't embarrass you in this matter. We will leave in a while."

The uncle exhaled after seeing them struggling again, "Hey, don't meddle in other people's business when you're out. It won't do you any harm. Hurry up and go."

Gu Mengyin and Jingchen ostensibly left through the front door, but in the blink of an eye they returned to the village from the backyard.

The caretaker was actually afraid, so he said he was guarding the mourning hall, but in fact he stayed in the front yard all the time. He only came over from time to time to walk around, and left after making sure there was no problem.

Gu Mengyin and Jingchen returned to the mourning hall and came to the coffin of the master's family.

Gu Mengyin bit her fingertips and pressed lightly on his Tianling Cap. In a moment, a soul-locking needle was pulled out.

"Bring out his soul."

Jingchen nodded, took out a talisman and put it on his forehead, and recited a spell.

After a moment, a shadow emerged from the corpse.

Jingchen took another piece of talisman paper to hide the aura of his soul, so as not to be noticed by the ghost messenger who was running errands nearby.

After seeing the two men, the man kowtowed and saluted, "Master, I wonder if you have found the murderer who killed my whole family?"

"Don't worry, the murderer will be here soon. You can see it with your own eyes then."

"well."

Not long after, Zhuangzi saw the arrival of two carriages. A young man in his early twenties and a mage with a missing front tooth got out of the carriage.

"Hurry in and take a look." The young man motioned to his servants to knock on the door.

After a while, the gatekeeper opened the door.

"Sir, why are you here?" It was agreed that you would not come until the day of the funeral.

"If you feel uncomfortable, come over and burn some incense."

"Oh."

"There's nothing unusual about the past two days, right?"

Naturally, the uncle didn’t dare to say anything about letting people stay overnight, “No, everything is fine.”

"That's good."

While he was talking, the mage had already arrived in the mourning hall. He walked straight to the master's coffin and inspected it, and his expression changed.
