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

Chapter 6: Suffocated to death
  "Executive member Zhang, I have a few questions that I would like to ask you."

Rather than asking for advice, Lu Xu's tone was clearly questioning.

Wen Jiu quietly turned his head and glanced at Lu Xu, but who expected that he met his glance directly.

I suddenly took a breath of air!

She resisted the urge to turn around and run away, and slowly buried her head.

"The little one knows everything he knows."

Zhang Jinnian quickly lowered his head and handed over his hands. Jin Yiwei asked, how could he allow himself to refuse?

"Liu Miao'er has been beaten to death with sticks, where is his body?"

Lu Xu tested it word by word.

He didn't believe that a thief could have no guilty conscience.

"This" Zhang Yuanwai visibly moved his brows.

"After all, something so disgraceful happened in the house, and it was thrown into a mass grave."

"Really?"

Lu Xu stared at one of the tablets with a heavy look, and there was a faint murderous aura around him.

"Since all the people were thrown into mass graves, why are the spiritual tablets still placed here?"

"I don't know what the adults know. There are rumors outside that Liu Miao'er's resentful spirit has come back to demand her life, so I can only put her up there as a living sacrifice. No matter what, nothing can happen to the Zhang family again!"

Zhang Yuanwai's old face was frighteningly white, and he seemed to be greatly frightened.

"But shouldn't the place where this spiritual tablet is placed be that of your master's wife?"

Lu Xu pressed forward step by step: "Executive member Zhang, Mr. Lu remembers that he was still unmarried when he left, right?"

Lu Xu was talking about Zhang's youngest son, who was only twelve years old when he left.

It is said that he accidentally fell off the rockery in the garden and died on the spot.

Zhang Yuanwai's face suddenly turned pale.

I had long heard that Jin Yiwei Lu Zhensi acted cautiously, but it was true that Lu Xu brought his people here before he could move the spiritual throne.

From the moment Wen Jiu stepped into this room, he felt that this tablet was strange.

The tablets that seemed ordinary to ordinary people were full of black energy in her eyes.

Even the words on the tablet are almost blurry. It seems that the female ghost in red is indeed Liu Miao'er.

She glanced at the coffin without leaving any trace, but there was nothing unusual. This old lady must have been willing to die.

This is even more strange. Wen Jiu frowned slightly. Wearing red clothes, he went to find a tree to hang himself in the middle of the night?
  "Zhang Jinnian, if you continue to refuse to tell the truth, we will have no choice but to ask you to go to prison."

Lu Xu deliberately emphasized the word "prison" very strongly.

"Zhang Yuanwai should think clearly. Once you are in prison, you may not be able to get out."

Lou Wu said solemnly.

"Sir, I say it, I say it all!"

Zhang Jinnian fell to his knees and cried bitterly.

There are fewer people in the family than the last, and there are always people shouting for help in his ears in the middle of the night. He can't hold on anymore, he can't hold on anymore!

Lu Xu looked at the tearful man in front of him calmly and did not interrupt.

"Sir, you know that it is always hard to be a father when your youngest son dies young. A few months ago, my wife had a dream that he was alone and uncared for, so she found someone to take care of him. Hexagram, it’s just a matter of matching him with a marriage.”

Wen Jiu frowned slightly, could it be a secret marriage?
  "General matchmakers can't bring this kind of marriage together, so I spent a lot of money to find matchmaker Zhang. She didn't know where she found Liu Miao'er's birth date. The old man actually said it was a match made in heaven, but...how could I know that Liu Miao'er was still alive?"

Lu Xu looked surprised.

"So you planned to marry her back and then beat her to death?"

Wen Jiu took a breath of air-conditioning, and it was clear in broad daylight. Can such a thing be done?

"We. We didn't beat her to death."

Zhang Yuanwai hesitated, as if he wanted to hide something.

"What else does Zhang Yuanwai want to hide?"

Lu Xu's hand moved slightly and he held the Xiuchun knife at his side.

Wen Jiu suddenly felt a sense of oppression all over his body.

"We...we just knocked her out and put her...into my son's coffin."

Zhang Jinnian suddenly collapsed to the ground, "Sir, I know I was wrong, my lord!"

"Wouldn't that mean you'd be suffocated to death?"

Wen Jiu was shocked. She didn’t know that some people would actually believe in this bullshit ghost marriage and treat human life as a trifling matter!

"Bring Zhang Jinnian back to Jinyiwei."

Lu Xu was not as excited as Wen Jiu. He was already accustomed to various reasons for killing.

If it is true as Zhang Jinnian said, it would be a shame for him to die. However, Zhang Jinnian cannot die until the case is solved.

"Ahem, cough, cough, Master Lu, I'm feeling a little unwell. Can you please let me go back first?"

Wen Jiu shrank slightly and moved towards Zi Su, looking like he was frightened.

"Miss Wen, are you scared?"

Lu Xu sneered, thinking he would have some courage.

"Sir, my little girl is just an ordinary boudoir girl."

Wen Jiu suddenly burst into tears, picked up his handkerchief and covered his mouth lightly.

Scared? This girl wants to go to the cemetery early to have a look. You catch your people, and I catch my ghosts. It has nothing to do with each other.

"No delivery."

Lu Xu looked unconcerned and didn't expect her to help.

Wen Jiu walked out of the mourning hall. Lu Xu saw her calling a servant from a distance and left after a while.

Returning to Wen Mansion, she quickly rejected everyone, including Zi Su.

She couldn't wait until night before going out.

If this Liu Miaoer really wants to kill someone, then no matter where Lu Xu takes Zhang Jinnian, Liu Miaoer can kill him!

She took some talismans and put them on her body, and took off her hat before going out.

Wen Jiu knew where Liu Miaoer died.

The grave of the youngest son of the Zhang family is not far from the capital.

The location of this cemetery has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and smooth Qi.

It is indeed a Feng Shui treasure land.

It's a pity that now there is a ghost who has died in vain, and even the best feng shui has been broken.

Wen Jiu stood in front of the grave and looked at the yellow paper charms on the ground.

Weird things happened one after another in the Zhang family. Zhang Yuanwai had already invited a bunch of monks and Taoists to suppress evil spirits and resolve grievances.

Unfortunately, it's all a lie.

Except for the half pressed under the incense candle.

Wen Jiu bent down to pick it up and burned half of the "Soul Summoning Talisman".

Interesting, she raised the corners of her lips slightly, it seems that this person also has some knowledge of spells.
  Lu Xu and his party were riding tall horses from the forest. From a distance, they saw a woman in red standing motionless in front of the grave. Not even the wind could blow her clothes. The scene was quite strange.

"Sir, this."

Lou Wu swallowed unconsciously, his face looking a little ugly.

Lu Xu frowned, with a serious look on his face, "In broad daylight, is there really a ghost?"

After saying that, he hurried towards the woman in red.

Wen Jiu heard the sound of horse hooves behind her. She turned her head alertly and found that this group of people was heading straight towards her.

Lu Xu and the others watched helplessly as she made a light move, flew up, quickly jumped through the trees, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

By the time they arrived at the grave, the woman in red had long disappeared.

"Sir, is this a human or a ghost?"

Lou Wu rubbed his eyes, it's been a long time since we've seen each other.
  "What do you say?"

Lu Xu held the embroidered spring knife in his hand, his eyes dark and mesmerizing.

"My subordinates will chase you immediately!"

Lou Wu just wanted to mount his horse again, but was stopped by Lu Xu.

"No need, you can't catch up."

Lu Xu had a gloomy face. There were only a few people in the capital who could escape from under his nose.

"This person has great qinggong skills, but he doesn't look like those common tricks in Beijing."

Lu Xu looked thoughtfully at the direction in which the woman in red left, "Lou Wu, send people to strengthen patrols in the capital. Don't let any suspicious person go."
