The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 26 So that’s it
  "Girl, Madam is ready to go back." The boy driving the carriage came from the clothing store on Mrs. Wen's order.

Wen Jiu still had some unanswered questions and didn't dare to draw any conclusions, so he had to go back first.

The carriage happened to pass by one of the inns, where two scholars who had gone to Beijing to take exams were missing and were garrisoned by officers and soldiers.

Wen Jiu stuck his head out to take a look. As soon as he raised the curtain, he saw Chen Shu standing among the crowd in official uniform, looking very impressive.

She accidentally looked at it for a while, and unexpectedly caught Chen Shu's gaze. She hurriedly lowered the curtain and handed it over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation.

She didn't know what she was feeling guilty about.
  When Mrs. Wen saw Wen Jiu hurriedly lowering the curtain, an intriguing blush appeared on her face.

She pretended that nothing happened and lifted the curtain and looked out the window, then looked at Wen Jiu who had his head lowered, feeling clear in her heart.

It had been ten days since he went out that day, and this was the last time Wen Jiu had returned to work after receiving the ghost hunting order.
  Zi Su brought news from the outside every day, saying that Chen Shu had searched and searched, and finally found Zhou Dafu and Zhou Dashan.

However, Zhou Dafu refused to admit it, and his body has not been found so far. There was insufficient evidence and he could only be acquitted.

"Girl, this matter cannot be done by Zhou Dashan. He is doing good deeds and accumulating virtue while at the same time killing people and hiding their bodies. This is not in line with common sense."

Zi Su opened the food box and took out walnut cake, almond cake and soybean cake. "This is from the kitchen at Madam's side. Would you like to try some, girl?"

"Who said I want to eat walnut cake?" Wen Jiu said in disgust.

"My wife gave me a special order to help the girl with her brain."

Zi Su lowered her head. The girl also said the same thing when she asked her and Ban Xia to eat the walnut cake.

Wen Jiu: "."

"What did you just say? Did the Criminal Department find Mr. Zhou Dashan?" Her eyelids twitched, and she didn't even have time to swallow the soybean cake in her mouth.

"Yes, girl." Zi Su added a bowl of milk tea and placed it on the table so that his girl could have the pastries.

Wen Jiu was shocked. He must have overlooked something. It must be something.
  After finishing the pastries, Wen Jiu pretended to take a nap and asked people in the courtyard not to disturb him, then sneaked out through the back door.

She put on the silk hat in her hand and walked hurriedly in the alley. She wanted to take another look at the sculpture.

If the Ministry of Punishments found out about Zhou Dashan, then the seven statues and the seven scholars would not be a coincidence, and the resentment would naturally not be a coincidence either.

Today, there are more children playing in this open space. Does it mean that the good fortune of being the top pick in high school starts with children?
  "Miss Wen."

Lu Xu's voice sounded faintly from behind, and Wen Jiu turned around.

Today he seems to be Xiu Mu. He is not wearing Feiyu clothes, but just like an ordinary noble boy. The moon-white clothes make his eyes gentle but unfathomable. The cloud patterns entangled with clouds and the hangings on his waist complement each other. It seems that he is more noble.

For such a noble person, there is nothing wrong with what he said that day.

Wen Jiu seemed to understand.

"What? Miss Wen also comes to ask for a sudden erudition?"

Wen Jiu folded his hands in front of him and lowered his eyes slightly. Lu Xu was used to being sarcastic.

"Sir, there are a lot of ghosts here, so be careful." Wen Jiu lowered his voice deliberately.

Lu Xu's expression suddenly changed, but when he saw the sly smile in Wen Jiu's eyes, he realized that he had been deceived.

Wen Jiu was in a good mood. Although she was quick to talk, she was bound to win the game.

"If you want to see this statue, girl, it's better to go to the second floor. The view will be better than here." Lu Xu smiled instead of getting angry. He already had clear eyebrows, and this smile was like the distant mountains stained with ink.

Wen Jiu wasn't sure what Lu Xu was up to, but she raised her eyes and looked at the place he mentioned. It was a perfect viewing spot.

She didn't care whether Lu Xu was polite or sincere, she bowed her thanks and walked straight to the second floor.

"Sir," Lou Wu was quite speechless at the behavior of this girl from the Wen family. How come she doesn't have the demeanor of a young lady from a noble family, and is she still the future heir apparent?

Lu Xu smiled and said nothing. As soon as he arrived on the second floor, he found Wen Jiu standing in front of the window sill with a solemn face, his expression not as lively as before, as if he had encountered something difficult.

"Is there something wrong with this statue?"

"Sir, is this case being investigated by the Criminal Department?"

"Chen Shu is investigating. It is said that he has some clues."

"Sir, can you help me tell Mr. Chen that the bodies of the seven people should be inside this statue."

Seven statues, seven corpses.

It wasn't that I was dazzled that day. I'm afraid what I saw wasn't the statue blinking, but a ghost attached to the statue. The scene was chaotic and I couldn't distinguish between humans and ghosts.

"What?" Lu Xu's throat quivered, as if he couldn't believe it.

Wen Jiu's thick eyelashes drooped down, but his eyes were as dark as paint.

Seven evil ghosts were sealed in these seven statues.

She never felt a strong aura. It turned out to be because the statue seemed to be placed randomly for the convenience of viewing, but in fact it was not at all.

If he had not come to this high place, he would not have known that the placement of this sculpture was clearly a formation set up to suppress the seven evil ghosts, and the purpose was to trap them in it forever.

No one will find the body, and no one will find the ghost.

The murderer is really thoughtful!
  "Is this the ghost you want to catch again?" Lu Xu frowned slightly, "There are seven people here."

Seven people, seven ghosts. Although the woman in front of me is a ghost hunter, one is worth seven.
  "Yes, there are seven ghosts in total." Wen Jiu was a little frustrated. This ghost hunting order really didn't care about her life or death at all.

"How can I help?" Lu Xu's voice suddenly became softer, and he didn't even notice it.

"Sir, can you give me a moment?" Wen Jiu turned to look into his dark eyes and said seriously, "Tomorrow at noon, you can find a way to tell Mr. Chen that the corpse is in this statue. Once the statue is destroyed, they will come out. , so I need to be prepared.”

"Okay." Lu Xu agreed, although he had no intention of helping Chen Shu in the first place.

After all, the relationship between Jin Yiwei and the Ministry of Punishment has reached an extreme level, and Chen Shu is still Wen Jiu. Forget it.

Wen Jiu put on his silk hat and walked out of the inn. A wave of people came and went in the open space. Almost every statue is filled with fruit snacks and even candied haws for children.

At this time tomorrow, I'm afraid they will all be terrified and wish they had never been here or touched this statue.

Why did the murderer do this?
  The candlelight on the desk flickered, making the talisman papers on the table look even more weird.

Ban Xia's voice sounded outside the door, "Girl, the small kitchen has prepared some medicinal food tonight, please go and serve some."

Wen Jiu was staring at the incense burner in a daze with his chin propped up on his hands, but was suddenly frightened out of his wits.

"I won't eat. I'm tired today. You don't need to come in to serve me."

Wen Jiu sorted out the talisman papers on the table. The things you and I have to do have just begun.
  Until the sound of gongs was heard outside, it was already midnight.

If you go to the open space at this time, there should be no one seeking high school there.
  She took out a cloak from the closet and put it on her body. It was already cold winter outside, and it was even colder since it was early in the morning.

Wen Jiu sighed and slipped out of the back door. The street was already deserted.

She closed the back door gently and retracted her hands into her sleeves. It was so cold that no one, let alone a human being, wanted to go out.

As soon as I walked out of the back alley, I saw a low-key yet exquisite carriage parked at the intersection.

Wen Jiu looked around and saw that there was a Wen Mansion nearby, so how could there be other official carriages there.

　Let me know who hasn’t collected my novel yet? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
