Chapter 308: The whole house is going crazy, jumping up and down

The county magistrate's mansion is haunted.

After the doctor in the Cai Mansion went crazy, A'man, Madam Yang's trusted maid, also went crazy.

Originally, she was accompanying Madam Yang outside the door of County Magistrate Yang's room, waiting for the doctor to treat County Magistrate Yang.

Suddenly, he crashed straight into the tree in the yard. The force of the collision was not strong, but blood was seen.

She seemed to feel no pain, and kept banging her head against the tree, muttering, "Miss, it was Madam who wanted you dead. Madam said that if you didn't die, her secret would be revealed sooner or later, so you must die, Miss must die..."

She repeated these words over and over again.

Madam Yang was so frightened that she quickly asked someone to cover her mouth, but A-man bit the man's hand tightly and refused to let go. The servant cried out in pain.

This startled Yang Junshou, who was in a daze and letting the doctor apply medicine on him.

If this wasn't enough to arouse Yang Jun's suspicion, someone else shouted, "Miss, please spare my life, Miss, please spare my life..."

She was Yang Ling'er's former maid. After Yang Ling'er died, she was sent by Madam Yang to her son's courtyard to be a maid in charge.

Having received such benefits, the maidservants served Madam Yang without hesitation.

But today, the maid ran around the house like the doctor of Cai Mansion, shouting that she was bribed by the lady to instigate Yang Ling'er to save the person and help the brothel girl to the bed where Yang Ling'er was resting in the houseboat.

Yang Ling'er just had a rash. It was she who followed the mistress's instructions and told the master that Yang Ling'er's body was rotten, which made the master believe the words of the court doctor.

She lied to Yang Ling'er again, saying that the master didn't want to see her because he disliked her having a serious illness. In fact, the master was not at home that day, and so on.

Afterwards, some people who were standing there peacefully suddenly pulled out their belts and tried to hang themselves at the gate. Some called Madam Yang a bitch and threatened to drag her into the pond. Some even chased after the housekeeper with a knife and attacked him...

County Magistrate Yang didn't even care that the medicine had not been finished yet, and asked the housekeeper to invite a Taoist priest to come.

With so many things happening in the mansion suddenly, there must be some evil spirit. What those people said finally made him suspicious of Madam Yang.

But when Madam Yang hung herself on the southeast branch with a white silk silk, intending to prove her innocence by death, he immediately dispelled his doubts, believing that all this was the doing of Wei Qingyan and the others.

He sent two servants to invite monks from the temple, but neither the monks nor the Taoists came quickly.

The entire Yang Mansion was in chaos except for the two guest houses which remained peaceful as usual. The servants in the mansion were running around like crazy, and the doctors were so scared that they didn't dare to ask for the consultation fees and fled in a hurry.

After Madam Yang pretended to hang herself and was rescued in time, she hid in her room and dared not go out, fearing that she would be grabbed and beaten by some crazy servant if she went out.

By the time County Magistrate Yang realized that what was happening in the mansion could not be spread outside and sent people to stop the doctor, there were no servants left. The crazy ones were climbing up the roof and tearing off the tiles, while those who were not crazy were so scared that they wanted to hide in the cracks of the ground.

In the end, he personally dragged his broken body to close the gate of the county magistrate's mansion to prevent the madman in the mansion from escaping and losing all his face as the county magistrate.

The chaos did not end until Yang Hezhi, the eldest son of Yang County Magistrate, returned home.

"Then Yang Hezhi brought back two followers who knew martial arts and knocked out all those crazy ones. The mansion now had a backbone, and the servants who had been hiding came out."

Jingzhe replied, "It took less than half an hour. He looks like a powerful person. I guess he will be here soon."

Wei Qingyan seemed to be lost in thought.

In Yang Linger's mind, her brother is indeed an outstanding person and cares about her very much.

But such a person did not find anything wrong with Yang Ling'er's death.

Xiao Zhian also had this doubt, so he asked.

Jingzhe replied, "From what I heard, he is very dissatisfied with County Magistrate Yang's remarriage, so even if he returns home a few times a month, he always leaves on the same day.

In addition, the siblings were older, and with the strict separation of sex, they probably had less contact. County Magistrate Yang felt guilty about his son, so he bought him a house near the academy, where he usually lived.

Xiao Zhian was puzzled. When Madam Yang came into the family six years ago, County Magistrate Yang was only in his thirties. His father, who was in the prime of his life, had been widowed for four years before remarrying, so he didn't do his son any injustice.

"Why should I feel guilty?"

Jingzhe shook his head, "I haven't found out yet."

Wei Qingyan pondered, "Let's investigate further and check out his house as well."

Now it seems that County Magistrate Yang is a complete fool. Although Madam Yang is vicious and seductive, she is not smart.

It is somewhat unusual that Yang Hezhi, who was praised for his intelligence, allowed County Magistrate Yang to be fooled by Madam Yang.

Seeing that it was already daybreak, Wei Qingyan said to Xiao Zhian, "Zhian, it's time to ask County Magistrate Yang to handle the case in the cave."

Shi Yu has not yet regained his identity, so it is inconvenient for both she and Shi Yu to take action. Then only the second prince Xiao Zhian can come forward.

Xiao Zhian nodded and said, "The portraits of those girls have all been drawn and will be posted after County Magistrate Yang goes to the government office.

It’s just that the Yang Mansion has become so chaotic, and we haven’t made any move. I’m afraid that County Magistrate Yang won’t be willing to cooperate.”

Shi Yu flicked his head and said, "This is his duty. Don't forget your status as a prince. If he doesn't take the initiative, it would be dereliction of duty. You can dismiss him immediately, or even take his head."

Xiao Zhian had never encountered such a thing before. Seeing that Lin Lanting nodded, he straightened his chest and left the yard with his entourage.

He sent a guard to invite County Magistrate Yang, and he himself took the rest of the guards and followers to the government office first.

For those girls who still have some resentment, my sister-in-law let them appear in their family members’ dreams last night. Now that their portraits have been posted today, their families will probably come to the government office to look for them.

Knowing that so many girls were buried alive, Wutong County is likely to be in turmoil today.

Watching his back walk away, Lin Lanting bowed to Shi Yu and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness. Zhian used to live a simple life and had never been exposed to these things."

"The Queen doesn't agree?" Shi Yu asked directly.

Born in the royal family and raised in the imperial city, how could I not be touched by darkness?

Lin Lanting, "When you were in trouble, His Majesty passed away early, leaving only him and the Empress. The Empress would not tolerate any mishaps for him and protected him very well.

There was no one with bad intentions around Zhi'an, because if anyone showed any signs of doing so, the Empress would deal with them in time.

One of the reasons why Her Majesty did this was that she wanted to make up for her debt to Your Highness the Crown Prince by making up for it on Xiao An.

The Empress and her ministers have said that it is not easy to be born into a royal family, and she wants to ensure that she lives in a happy age and has as much happiness as possible."

"But the Queen sent Zhian out to look for me." Shi Yu looked at him deeply, "If it weren't for Xiaoyan, Zhian would have been a pile of bones by now."

"Yes, it can be seen that Her Majesty also loves Your Highness very much." Lin Lanting lowered his head slightly.

He probably didn't have the confidence to say this himself.

Lin Lanting was obviously speaking well of the Queen today. Shi Yu asked again, "Why?"

"I hope that you and the Empress and your son can live in harmony, so that Feng Zhao can be safe and sound."

Lin Lanting also looked at him, "I am a military commander, and most military commanders hope for peace. I think the Crown Princess can better understand my feelings."

Shi Yu's journey did not seem like the crown prince returning to his country, but more like the prince consort of the Great Wei accompanying him on a diplomatic mission to the Great Wei.

But as long as he returns to Feng Zhao, no matter if they are sincere like Lord Zong Zheng or those with ulterior motives who are trying to seize the opportunity to gain power, they will definitely support His Highness in taking back the power and ruling the country.

But naturally there will be people who support the Queen and stand on the opposite side in order to keep their power. Moreover, the Queen has been in charge of government for nearly twenty years. Will she really hand over the imperial power without any regrets?

In the so-called struggle for imperial power, sometimes the real struggle is not between the two people in the open, but the forces behind them that push them to fight.

He only hoped that the affection between mother and son could prevent that day from coming, so when he returned to Feng Zhao, he would also speak well of the prince in front of the queen.

Shi Yu understood his thoughts and saw that although Lin Lanting was the queen's brother, he hoped that the imperial power would be on the right track. Moreover, he acknowledged Qingyan as the crown princess.

"This king also wishes to protect the peace of the world."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Lanting was truly grateful. He was about to say something else when he saw Wei Qingyan suddenly stand up from his chair and said solemnly, "The person who set up the formation has appeared."
