The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

Chapter 26
"People are here."

"Where……"

An hour later, Lin Fan and the others dug up the skeletons of children in the clearing.

Those children were all three or four years old, and the younger ones looked to be only one or two years old. All of them had their souls sucked away, leaving only a pair of dry skins.

Listening to the mournful cries, Gu Mengyin felt like a big stone was pressing on her heart. She was so furious that she just wanted to tear that soul-sucking monster into pieces!
Yan Linyuan asked Lin Fan to collect all the bones and bring them back to the city intact.

"Yes."

Yan Linyuan came to Gu Mengyin's side, "It's getting late, I'll take you back to the city first."

Seeing that the matter here was almost settled, Gu Mengyin also planned to go find Gu Wenque and the others.

As soon as the two of them reached the foot of the mountain, Gu Mengyin saw Gu Wenque walking up the mountain.

"Tai... Miss, are you okay? I heard something happened on the mountain." Gu Wenque ran a little fast and couldn't even catch his breath.

Gu Mengyin shook her head, "I'm fine."

"It's fine." Gu Wenque saluted Yan Linyuan, "I couldn't thank you enough for the hospitality last time. Why is the master here on the mountain today?"

Yan Linyuan said calmly: "Come to do something."

"Oh, it's getting late then. Let's go back first so as not to disturb the young master."

Gu Mengyin took the initiative to say goodbye to Yan Linyuan this time, "You still have to deal with the affairs of Qixia Temple. Wen Que and I will just go back. You go and do your work."

Yan Linyuan nodded calmly, "Okay, be careful on the road."

Gu Mengyin and Gu Wenque got on the return carriage. The carriage went out for a long time, but Gu Mengyin didn't even lower the curtain.

Gu Wenque couldn't help but stretched his neck to look out of curiosity, but there was nothing there.

"Auntie, what are you looking at?"

"My future husband-in-law."

Gu Wenque:? ?
Gu Mengyin didn't lower the car curtain until Yan Linyuan was no longer visible.

"Auntie, I heard from people in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion that Master Huiling is a monster. What is going on?"

Gu Mengyin leaned back on the soft pillow, opened the small drawer in the car, took out a pack of snacks and said, "He is not a monster, at most he is a monster monk."

"Were all those children taken away by him?"

Gu Mengyin nodded, "He supported an evil god, and that evil god was the real monster who killed those children." Among the people killed were Cai Yue and the owner of the antique shop.

She closed her eyes and briefly sorted it out in her mind.

Master Huiling is the minion of the evil god. After the shopkeeper of the antique shop died, a ghost took possession of his body as a cover. He used the female ghost to steal the children in the city. After the children were stolen back, the shopkeeper secretly stole the children. Take it to Qixia Temple and have Master Huiling offer it to the evil god.

And the black mist she saw in the hall today should be the clone of the evil god.

Gu Mengyin opened her eyes, and when she turned her palms, a thick black mist appeared. During the battle with the black mist, she peeled off a piece of it. With this piece, she could accurately find its hiding place. .

However, before she knew the opponent's full strength, she needed to make more preparations to ensure nothing went wrong.

The highly respected Master Huiling turned out to be a thief who stole and killed children. This caused a huge sensation in the city. The relatives of the murdered children gathered at Jingzhao Yin Mansion, hoping to execute Master Huiling.

For many days after that, in order to prevent the people from causing trouble, Mr. Li could only mobilize a large number of people in the government office to guard the gate. It was not until the case was settled and Master Huiling was sentenced to beheaded in public that the public anger was calmed down.

When Gu Ming'an returned to his house at night, he had a happy smile on his face.

The second wife, Mrs. Zhao, saw him smiling so hard that there was only one mouth left on her face, and she joked funnyly, "What makes you so happy? If you don't know, you'd think you picked up some money."

Gu Ming'an rubbed his hands and said: "Master Li called me over today when I went to the Yamen and said that my aunt was very helpful in this case of stealing the child. I have benefited from my aunt, and the master said that my position should be promoted. ”

Mrs. Zhao also became happy when she heard this.

Gu Ming'an has been working as a clerk in Jingzhao Yin Mansion for several years, but it has always been difficult for him to move up. Now, he was promoted not long after Gu Mengyin came back, which made them unhappy. "Is this settled?"

"Master Li said that the appointment documents will come out in ten days and a half. I will give Dad a break first. It won't be too late to wait for the other documents to come out."

Mrs. Zhao also agreed to do this, just because she was afraid that if something went wrong, they would let the news out again and make people laugh.

"Dad, Mom, what are you laughing at?"

When Gu Wenque entered the room, he saw the couple almost bursting into laughter.

Gu Ming'an coughed lightly, originally intending to make a serious expression, but he was so happy that he couldn't suppress the joy in his eyebrows.

Ms. Zhao gave him an angry look and said, "It's your dad. Your dad is finally moving up the yamen."

Gu Wenque was stunned when he heard this, "What, dad, you've been promoted too?"

Both husband and wife noticed the word "ye" in his mouth.

"Why, your grandfather and your uncle have also been promoted?"

Gu Wenque laughed when he heard this, "I don't know about them, but I was promoted. Hehe, Vice Commander Li told me today that he would promote me to the vice-captain of Jiazi Dui. He said that if I continue to perform so well, Set me right up." At his age, not many people could be captains of the squad.

"Really?"

The couple looked shocked. They didn't expect that Gu Wenque would also be promoted.

"Mom, look at what you said, can my son still lie to you about this kind of thing?"

"Oh, this is so good, so good. To add more food tonight, we must ask the big kitchen to add more food."

At night, the Gu family sat together to eat.

Gu Ming'an couldn't help but tell everyone what happened.

Mrs. Zhao glanced at him speechlessly, but she couldn't help but be happy.

"Second brother, eldest brother congratulates you first."

"Hehe, thank you, brother. In fact, this is all the credit of my aunt. I think the court also gave us some awards because of my aunt's great help."

"Yes, the credit for this should go to my great-aunt, my grandson, I'd like to give you a toast."

Gu Mengyin picked up the tea on the table and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

During this meal, the Gu family was surrounded by the joy of being promoted to second house, and no one noticed a pair of eyes watching them coldly in the darkness.

The next day, Gu Mengyin got up early.

She asked Zhang to buy her a big piece of yellow paper and spread it in the yard.

"Auntie, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Zhang stretched her neck curiously, not knowing what Gu Mengyin wanted to do.

"Line up and take the demon."

Gu Mengyin took out the talisman pen the old man gave her, dipped it in the rooster's blood and drew large and small spells on the yellow paper.

Mrs. Zhang's little maid, who was fascinated by the telepathic transmission, walked in.

"Third Madam, please greet me, my aunt."

Zhang waved her hand to signal her not to disturb Gu Mengyin, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Back to Third Madam, Madam Ping'an Hou has returned home."

Zhang's expression changed, "Why is she back?"
